【高考考點(diǎn)】動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)。
12. The director had her assistant ___ some hot dogs for the meeting.

what不是關(guān)系代詞不引導定語(yǔ)從句，that一般不引導非限制性定語(yǔ)從句。it干擾性大，如果在逗號后加連詞and，則選項A成立。
【高考考點(diǎn)】which引導的非限制性定語(yǔ)從句.
17. Liza ___ well not want to go on the trip --- she hates traveling.
A. will B. can C. must D. may

【高考考點(diǎn)】情態(tài)動(dòng)詞表示推測的用法。
18. Little Johnny felt the bag, curious to know what it ____.
A. collected B. contained C. loaded D. saved

A. that B. how C. which D. when
【標準答案】A。
【試題解析】題意是“是在New Zealand，Elizabeth第一次遇到Smith先生。”該題強調地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ)。判斷是否是強調句的基本方法就是把It is/was和that/who去掉，被強調的部分放到它原來(lái)的位置上，句子意思完整，則必定是強調句，否則就是狀語(yǔ)從句或定語(yǔ)從句。
【高考考點(diǎn)】強調句結構It is/was + 被強調的部分 + that/who + 其它成分。

第二部分 閱讀理解（共25小題。第一節每小題2分，第二節每小題1分；滿(mǎn)分45分）
第一節 閱讀下列短文，從媒體所給的四個(gè)選項（A、Ｂ、Ｃ和Ｄ）中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
Ａ
There was a story many years ago of a school teacher--- Mrs. Thompson. She told the children on the first day that she loved them all the same. But that was a lie. There in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. He didn’t play well with the other children and he always needed a bath. She did not like him.
Then Mrs. Thompson got to know that Teddy was actually a very good boy before the death of his mother. Mrs. Thompson was ashamed of herself. She felt even worse when, like all her other students, Teddy brought her a Christmas present too. It was his mother’s perfume(香水)。
Teddy said, “Mrs. Thompson, today you smell just like my Mom used to.” After the children left she cried for at least an hour. On that very day, she stopped teaching reading, writing and math. Instead, she began to teach children.
Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. The boy’s mind seemed to come alive. The more she encourage him, the faster he improved. By the end of the sixth grade, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class.
Six years went by before she got a note from Teddy. He wrote that he had finished high school, third in his class, and she was still the best teacher he ever had in his whole lift. He went to college. Mrs. Thompson got two more letters from him with the last one signed, Theodore F. Stoddard, M. D.(醫學(xué)博士).
The story doesn’t end there. On his wedding day, Dr. Stoddard whispered in Mrs. Thompson’s ear, “Thank you, Mrs. Thompson, for believing in me. You made me feel important and showed me that I could make a difference.”
Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back, “Teddy, you have it all wrong. You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference. I didn’t know how to teach until I met you.”
A篇講述一個(gè)失去母愛(ài)的小男孩的言行讓他的老師完全改變了，即從知識的傳授轉變?yōu)閷W(xué)生思想人格的教育。小男孩在老師的關(guān)愛(ài)和鼓勵下也取得了優(yōu)異的成績(jì)。
41. What did Mrs. Thompson do on the first day of school?
A. She made Teddy feel ashamed
B. She asked the children to play with Teddy.
C. She changed Teddy’s seat to the front row.
D. She told the class something untrue about herself.
【標準答案】D。
【高考考點(diǎn)】細節理解題。
【試題解析】第一段Mrs. Thompson. She told the children on the first day that she loved them all the same. But that was a lie…But that was a lie.可以看出她說(shuō)愛(ài)班上每一人不是真話(huà)，Teddy令她討厭。
42. What did Mrs. Thompson find out about Teddy?
A. He often told lies.
B. He was good at math.
C. He needed motherly care.
D. He enjoyed playing with others.
【標準答案】C。
【高考考點(diǎn)】細節理解題。
【試題解析】從文章第二段開(kāi)始Then Mrs. Thompson got to know that Teddy was actually a very good boy before the death of his mother. 知道Teddy在媽媽去世前是一個(gè)好孩子，只是在母親去世后，才變得不愛(ài)和別人玩，變得很臟，不討人喜歡。Teddy送了Mrs. Thompson一瓶香水后，說(shuō)Mrs. Thompson, today you smell just like my Mom used to.可以看出Teddy缺乏母愛(ài)，需要母愛(ài)。
43. In what way did Mrs. Thompson change?
A. She taught fewer school subjects.
B. She became stricter with her students.
C. She no longer liked her job as a teacher.
D. She cared more about educating students.
【標準答案】D。
【高考考點(diǎn)】細節理解題。
【試題解析】從文章第三段的On that very day, she stopped teaching reading, writing and math. Instead, she began to teach children.可以看出，Mrs. Thompson不單單是教授學(xué)生們文化課程，而是更加在思想上和孩子們溝通。
44. Why did Teddy thank Mrs. Thompson at his wedding?
A. She had kept in touch with him.
B. She had given him encouragement.
C. She had sent him Christmas presents.
D. She had taught him how to judge people.
【標準答案】B。
【高考考點(diǎn)】細節理解題。
【試題解析】從文章第四、五段可以看出，通過(guò)Mrs. Thompson的特別關(guān)注和鼓勵，Teddy 進(jìn)步很快，成了班上優(yōu)秀的學(xué)生，后來(lái)還考上了大學(xué)，拿到了醫學(xué)博士學(xué)位。
B
The Queen’s English is now sounding less upper-class, a scientific study of the Queen’s Christmas broadcasts had found. Researchers have studied each of her messages to the Commonwealth countries since 1952 to find out the change in her pronunciation from the noble Upper Received to the Standard Received.
Jonathan Harrington, a professor at Germany’s University of Munich, wanted to discover whether accent (口音) changers recorded over the past half century would take place within one person. “As far as I know, there just is nobody else for whom there is this sort of broadcast records,” he said.
He said the noble way of pronouncing vowels (元音) had gradually lost ground as the noble upper-class accent over the past years. “Her accent sounds slightly less noble than it did 50 years ago. But these are very, very small and slow changes that we don’t notice from year to year.”
“We may be able to relate it to changes in the social classes,” he told The Daily Telegraph, a British newspaper. “In 1952 she would have been heard saying ‘thet men in the bleck het’. Now it would be ‘that man in the black hat’. And ‘hame’ rather than ‘home’. In the 1950s she would have been ‘lorst’, but by the 1970s ‘lost’.”
The Queen’s broadcast is a personal message to the Commonwealth countries. Each Christmas, the 10-minute broadcast is put on TV at 3 pm in Britain as many families are recovering from their traditional turkey lunch. (傳統火雞午餐).
The results were published (發(fā)表) in the Journal of Phonetics.
閱讀B篇則主要通過(guò)對50年來(lái)英國女王為國民每年祝詞的錄音研究，論證了人的口音會(huì )變化這一事實(shí)。
45. The Queen’s broadcasts were chosen for the study mainly because ______.
A. she has been Queen for many years
B. she has a less upper-class accent now
C. her speeches are familiar to many people
D. her speeches have been recorded for 50 years
【標準答案】D。
【高考考點(diǎn)】細節理解題。
【試題解析】第二段最后一句As far as I know, there just is nobody else for whom there is this sort of broadcast records可知只有女王的講話(huà)錄音完整，具有研究的價(jià)值。
46. Which of the following is an example of a less noble accent in English?
A. “duaty” B. “citee” C. “hame” D. “lorst”
【標準答案】B。
【高考考點(diǎn)】細節判斷題。
【試題解析】從文章第三段第一句He said the noble way of pronouncing vowels (元音) had gradually lost ground as the noble upper-class accent over the past years.可知，研究者主要是研究女王發(fā)音的元音的變化。四個(gè)選項中只有B項中的元音沒(méi)有變化，其余三個(gè)在第四段可以看出現在都有變化。
47. We may infer from the text that the Journal of Phonetics is a magazine on _________.
A. speech sounds B. Christmas customs
C. TV broadcasting D. personal messages
【標準答案】A。
【高考考點(diǎn)】推理判斷題。
【試題解析】從文章德內容得知，研究者是研究女王50年來(lái)口音的變化，屬于語(yǔ)音類(lèi)的研究，所以研究成果應刊登在語(yǔ)音學(xué)雜志上。由此推斷Journal of Phonetics是一本有關(guān)語(yǔ)言方面的雜志。
48. What is the text mainly about?
A. The relationship between accents and social classes.
B. The Queen’s Christmas speeches on TV.
C. The changes in a person’s accent.
D. The recent development of the English language.
【標準答案】C。
【高考考點(diǎn)】主旨大意題。
【標準答案】
【試題解析】文章開(kāi)頭一句The Queen’s English is now sounding less upper-class, a scientific study of the Queen’s Christmas broadcasts had found.就是文章的中心句，其后內容就是圍繞這一話(huà)題展開(kāi)的，故主要是講述一個(gè)人口音隨著(zhù)時(shí)間的變化。
C
Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive (欺騙)? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture.
For example, some might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”
This guy’s a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. He’s really a big loser!
He didn’t say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.
Some politicians often use this trick. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents(對手) says, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” that’s true. However, and honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”
Advertisers(廣告商) will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.
This kind of deception happens too of often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
C篇揭露了一個(gè)社會(huì )問(wèn)題――社會(huì )上有些人利用半真半假的陳詞來(lái)誤導他人。
49. How much did the lottery winner lose?
A. One hundred dollars. B. Two hundred dollars.
C. Three hundred dollars. D. Four hundred dollars.
【標準答案】A。
【高考考點(diǎn)】細節理解題。
【試題解析】從文章第二、三段的I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (彩票).和We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets可知這個(gè)中獎?wù)哔I(mǎi)了200美元的彩票，贏(yíng)了100美元，實(shí)際上他輸了100美元，并不是真正的贏(yíng)家。
50. We may infer that the author believes people should _______.
A. buy lottery tickets
B. make use of half-truths
C. not take anything at face value
D. not trust the Yucky Company
【標準答案】C。
【高考考點(diǎn)】推理判斷題。
【試題解析】文章通過(guò)幾個(gè)例子最后得出結論，認為人們不應該只從事物的表面來(lái)看問(wèn)題，接受表面上的價(jià)值。
51. What do the underline words “net gain” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. final increase B. big advantage
C. large share D. total saving
【標準答案】A。
【高考考點(diǎn)】詞義猜測題。
【試題解析】從第五段開(kāi)始一句…her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. 可知表示工作崗位最終增加了200萬(wàn)。
52. What can we know from the example of the Yucky Pill advertisement?
A. False statements are easy to see through.
B Half-truths are often used to mislead people.
C. Doctors like to act in advertisements.
D. Advertisements are based on facts.
【標準答案】B。
【高考考點(diǎn)】推理判斷題。
【試題解析】第六段前兩句 Advertisers(廣告商) will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth.是本段的主題句，后面就是舉例來(lái)說(shuō)明Half-truths常被用來(lái)誤導顧客。

Something in chocolate could be used to stop coughs and lead to more effective medicines, say UK researchers.
Their study found that theobromine, found in cocoa, was nearly a third more effective in stopping coughs than codeine, which was considered the best cough medicine at present.
The Imperial College London researchers who published their results online said the discovery could lead to more effective cough treatment. “While coughing is not necessarily harmful(有害的) it can have a major effect on the quality of life, and this discovery could be a huge step forward in treating this problem,” said Professor Peter Barnes.
Ten healthy volunteers(志愿者) were given theobromine, codeine or placebo, a pill that contains no medicine, during the experiment. Neither the volunteers nor the researchers knew who received which pill. The researchers then measured levels of capsaicin, which is used in research to cause coughing and as a sign of how well the medicine are stopping coughs.
The team found that, when the volunteers were given theobromine, the capsaicin need to produce a cough was around a third higher than in the placebo group. When they were given codeine they need only slightly higher levers of capsaicin to cause a cough compared with the placebo.
The researchers said that theobromine worked by keeping down a verve activity(神經(jīng)活動(dòng)), which cause coughing. They also found that unlike some standard cough treatments, theobromine caused no side effects such as sleepiness.
D篇是一篇科普性讀物。選材于醫學(xué)的某一方面的研究――對巧克力中theobromine（可可堿）獨特的治療咳嗽的功效的對比研究，證明theobromine（可可堿）是未來(lái)有效的治療咳嗽的良藥。
53. According to Professor Barnes, theobromine ______.
A. cannot be as effective as codeine
B. can be harmful to people’s health
C. cannot be separated from chocolate
D. can be a more effective cure for coughs
【標準答案】D。
【高考考點(diǎn)】推理判斷題。
【試題解析】從第二段的Their study found that theobromine, found in cocoa, was nearly a third more effective in stopping coughs than codeine, which was considered the best cough medicine at present.可看出theobromine比codeine更有效，判斷A項錯誤。既然它用來(lái)止咳，改善人們的生活質(zhì)量，所以B項錯誤。在第一段提到了heobromine是從chocolate里提煉出來(lái)的，所以C項錯誤。故正確答案是D項。
54. What was used in the experiment to cause coughing?
A. Theobromine. B. Codeine. C. Capsaicin. D. Placebo.
【標準答案】C。
【高考考點(diǎn)】細節理解題。
【試題解析】A、B、D三項中的物品是用來(lái)做實(shí)驗的物品。在文章第四段最后一句The researchers then measured levels of capsaicin, which is used in research to cause coughing and as a sign of how well the medicine are stopping coughs.可知Capsaicin（辣椒素）用來(lái)引起咳嗽和作為這些藥物如何止咳的依據。
55. We learn from the text that volunteers in the experiment _____.
A. were patients with bad coughs
B. were divided into the three groups
C. received standard treatments
D. suffered little side effects
【標準答案】B。
【高考考點(diǎn)】推理判斷題。
【試題解析】從第四段首句Ten healthy volunteers(志愿者) were given theobromine, codeine or placebo, a pill that contains no medicine, during the experiment.可知實(shí)驗中每組人吃一種所給的物品才能看出止咳的效果，故需要三組志愿者。
56. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. Codeine: A New Medicine B. Chocolate May Cure Coughs
C. Cough Treatment: A Hard Case D. Theobromine Can Cause Coughs
【標準答案】B。
【高考考點(diǎn)】歸納主旨題。
【試題解析】本文主要介紹chocolate中含有的一種成分Theobromine能有很好的止咳效果，所以該題的正確答案為B
E

visitors about our history and culture and show 83. __________
them their great achievements. In short, I will do 84.___________
my best to help making the Games a success. 85. ___________
76. 【標準答案】chose → chosen

77. 【標準答案】去掉at
【試題解析】多介詞。at first是“第一”。在此句意是“首先”，故去掉at。
78. 【標準答案】about→with/to
【試題解析】介詞搭配錯誤。和某人交談應用talk with/to sb.
79. 【標準答案】 在history前加the。
【標準答案】冠詞漏用。history加限定詞修飾時(shí)，表示特指某歷史，要the修飾。
80. 【標準答案】good → well
【試題解析】固定搭配錯誤。as well as是“和，也”的意思，相當于and。
81. 【標準答案】was → am
【試題解析】時(shí)態(tài)錯誤。主句是一般現在時(shí)，故since從句也用一般現在時(shí)。
82. 【標準答案】ways →way
【試題解析】名詞單復數誤用。find one's way是一固定搭配，way只用單數形式。
83. 【標準答案】正確。
【試題解析】沒(méi)有錯誤。
84. 【標準答案】their → our。
【試題解析】從上下文看應是“我”向游客介紹“我們”取得的巨大成就。。
85. 【標準答案】making →make
【試題解析】非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞錯誤。help do/ to do幫著(zhù)做某事。

Dear Peter,
I’m glad to receive your letter asking for my advice on how to learn Chinese well.
Here are a few suggestions. First, it is important to take a Chinese course, as you’ll be able to learn from the teacher and practice with your fellow students. Then, it also helps to watch TV and read books, newspapers and magazines in Chinese whenever possible.
Besides, it should be a good idea to learn and sing Chinese songs, because by doing so you’ll learn and remember Chinese words more easily. You can also make more Chinese friends. They will tell you a lot about China and help you learn Chinese.
Try and write me in Chinese next time.
Best wishes
