(2011·陕西宝鸡质检二)My husband is an engineer. Since we met,he has always been the rock in my life.I knew he had his feet __36__ planted on the ground,and it seemed that no matter what else went __37__,he would be the constant one. Three years of romance and two years of marriage later, I began to feel __38__ of him because he never brought me flowers,he never __39__ me,and nothing had changed in our marriage.

After __40__, I finally told him I wanted to be __41__. He just sat there, speechless and didn't even know __42__ to say to make me stay. Finally,he spoke, “What can I do to change your __43__?” “I'll stay if you have a good answer __44__ this question,”I replied coldly. “If I asked for a __45__ growing on a cliff, and getting it for me __46__ certain death,would you still do so?”

His face grew troubled. “Can I give you the answer tomorrow morning?” With that, my heart __47__. He couldn't even give me an answer __48__ away. The next morning,I found he was __49__. However,I found a note under a warm glass of milk. My eyes __50__ misty(湿润)as I was reading it. “Dear,I'll give you my __51__.

After you do typing for a long time, I need my __52__ to do it for you.

Every time you leave the house,you forget your keys. I need my legs to run __53__ and open the door for you.... that's why I cannot pick the flower for you...” With tears __54__ from my eyes, I opened the door. And there he was, with an extremely worried look on his face, waving the packet he had in his hand in front of me.

Just because someone doesn't love you __55__ you want him to, it doesn't mean that he doesn't love you heart and soul. 36.A.deeply B.firmly C.slightly D.totally

[解析]考查副词辨析。此处是一种比喻用法,因为前边作者说丈夫是她生活中的靠山,“靠山”应该是脚很稳地踩在地面上,故用firmly“坚固地,牢固地”。deeply“深深地”,用来形容情感;slightly“轻微地”;totally“完全地”。 [答案]B

37.A.different B.crazy C.exciting D.excited

[解析]根据后边的信息“他总是永恒不变的那一个”可知,前面应该是表达相反意义的句子,结合选项只有crazy符合语境。 [答案]B

38.A.liked B.tried C.fond D.tired

[解析]从下文作者想离开可判断出,作者对丈夫的呆板和一成不变的婚后生活感到厌烦了。be tired of sb.“对某人感到厌烦的”。C项表示“喜欢”;A项从意义和语法上都不适合;B项是表示“知道的”。 [答案]D

39.A.frightened B.loved C.surprised D.lost

用心 爱心 专心

7

[解析]从前面的“他从不给我送花”和后面的“我们婚姻生活中没有什么变化”可知,应用surprised“吃惊,惊喜”,表示“他从未让我惊喜”。 [答案]C

40.A.some time B.sometime C.sometimes D.some times

[解析]过了一段时间之后,我终于告诉他我想离开。some time“一段时间”,是一个名词短语,可与介词搭配;sometime指在过去或将来的某个时候,sometimes表示“有的时候”,some times表示“几次”,三者皆为副词,不和介词连用。 [答案]A

41.A.in B.up C.down D.out

[解析]out意为“离开某地”,此处表示离开这个家庭。 [答案]D

42.A.what B.which C.how D.when [解析]语意:他只是坐在那里,一声不吭,甚至不知道该说点什么使我留下来。what“什么”;which“哪一个”;how“怎么样”;when“什么时候”。在没有范围限定的情况下用what作say的宾语。 [答案]A

43.A.saying B.comment C.opinion D.mind

[解析]句意:我能做点什么使你改变主意?change one's mind表示“改变某人的主意”。 [答案]D

44.A.to B.of C.for D.about

[解析]表示“问题的答案”或“门上的钥匙”时,常用an answer to a question和a key to a door表达。 [答案]A

45.A.tree B.moon C.flower D.butterfly

[解析]从后边作定语的现在分词短语growing on a cliff可知,只有树和花是长在悬崖峭壁上的,但依语境和常识可知,“我”要的肯定是花。倒数第三段中“I cannot pick the flower for you”也是线索提示。 [答案]C

46.A.meant B.resulted C.caused D.led

[解析]句意:弄到它肯定意味着死亡。mean“意味着”;result常用于result in(导致)短语;cause“导致,引起”;lead常用于lead to结构中,意为“导致,引起”。 [答案]A

47.A.sank B.settled C.rose D.worried

[解析]句意:听了那句话,我感到很失望。one's heart sinks相当于one feels disappointed,表示“某人感到失望”。 [答案]A

用心 爱心 专心

8

48.A.soon B.straight C.slight D.quickly

[解析]句意:他甚至不能立即给我一个答复。表示“立即”或“马上”之意的词或短语有immediately,right away,straight away,at once等。 [答案]B

49.A.missed B.missing C.losing D.lost

[解析]此处表示没有看见丈夫,用be missing“不见,没有在”较恰当。be lost也可表示“不见了”,但此时主语常为物;当人作主语时,be lost意为“迷路”。 [答案]B

50.A.fell B.changed C.grew D.got

[解析]眼睛变得湿润是读便条时发生的,应该用表示逐渐变化意义的系动词grow。 [答案]C

51.A.descriptions B.causes C.lists D.reasons

[解析]从便条上的内容来看,这是丈夫对前一天晚上的问题的回答和理由。reason表示做某事的理由;description是对人或事物进行的描述;cause表示某事发生的原因或根源;list表示名单或清单。 [答案]D

52.A.heart B.fingers C.mind D.arms

[解析]根据前面的do typing for a long time可知,丈夫需要替妻子打字。按照常识,打字用到的应该是手指头。 [答案]B

53.A.home B.at home C.out D.in

[解析]从前面的信息“每次你离开屋子时总会忘记带钥匙”可以推断出,丈夫需要跑回家为妻子开门。 [答案]A

54.A.steaming B.stretching C.streaming D.spreading

[解析]句意:我泪流满面,打开了门。stream用作动词时既可表示小溪的流淌,也可表示泪水的流淌。steam是stream的形近词,表示“冒蒸汽”;stretch “延伸,伸展”;spread“传播,伸展”。 [答案]C

55.A.like it B.way C.how D.the way [解析]句意:只因为某人没有按你想要的方式去爱你,(但)这并不意味着他不全心全意地爱你。the way sb.does sth.表示“某人干某事的方式”,其中the way后省略了引导定语从句的关系词。 [答案]D

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。 A

I was reading these intriguing stories behind a group of great logos in the world. Personally Nike is my favorite one—it's so simple. And I liked the stories behind them, which made me forget all other things. McDonald's, Apple, Mercedes Benz and Adidas own great logos as well,and they are among my very favorites. Nike

In the Greek myth, Nike is the goddess of victory and the source of inspiration for soldiers. This logo represents the wing in the famous statue of the Greek goddess. Nike's logo was designed by Carolyn Davidson in 1971 for $35,and was registered as a trademark in 1995. McDonald's

The logo was designed in 1962 by Jim Schindler to resemble the archshaped signs on the side of the company's then walk­up hamburger stand. Later on, the two golden arches were combined together to form the M.The McDonald's name was added to the logo in 1968. Apple

There are different stories behind Apple's logo. The first logo was a reference to the religious story of Adam and Eve, in which the apple represented the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. One year later, the second logo was designed in 1977 by Steve Jobs and Ronald Wayne,and it described Sir Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree. This logo didn't stay long. One year later it was replaced almost immediately by graphic designer Rob Janoff's “rainbow apple”,a rainbow­colored silhouette(轮廓)of an apple with a bite taken out of it. And then the rainbow­colored apple was replaced by the onecolored logo in 1998. It has not been changed so far. Mercedes Benz

The Mercedes Benz logo, which was originally created by Gottlieb Daimler in 1909, consists of a simple description of a three­pointed star that represents its rule of the land,the sea and the air. The company was founded by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach. Marcedes is the name of Maybach's elder daughter, while Benz came as a result of a combination with Benz,Cie. and DMG in 1926. Adidas

The Adidas logo, which was created by the founder of the company Adi Dassler, represents mountains, pointing towards the challenges that are seen ahead and goals that can be achieved. The logo was used for the first time in 1967. 56.What does the author think of the stories of the great logos? A. They are boring.

B. They are out of date. C. They are attractive. D. They are practical.

[解析]细节理解题。由第一段中的intriguing stories和作者的话“我喜欢这些商标背后的故事,这些故事使我忘记了其他所有事情”判断选C项。这些商标背后的故事很有吸引力。 [答案]C

57.What does Nike's logo stand for?

用心 爱心 专心

10

A. The goddess of victory.

B. The source of inspiration for soldiers. C. The statue of the Greek goddess. D. The wing of the Greek goddess.

[解析]细节理解题。从耐克的商标介绍可知,该商标代表的是希腊女神雕像上的翅膀。 [答案]D

58.We can learn that Apple's present logo is ________. A. the religious story of Adam and Eve B. a bitten apple with only one color C. Newton's sitting under an apple tree D. the rainbow­colored bitten apple

[解析]推理判断题。题干询问的是苹果目前的商标是什么。从苹果商标部分的介绍可知,几经发展和变化,现在的苹果商标是被咬了一口的单色苹果。 [答案]B

59.Which of the following time orders describes the births of the great logos? A. Mercedes Benz—McDonald's—Nike—Apple B. Nike—McDonald's—Apple—Mercedes Benz C. McDonald's—Apple—Nike—Mercedes Benz D. Nike—Mercedes Benz—McDonald's—Apple

[解析]细节理解题。从本文介绍的几个著名商品的图标诞生的顺序看,首先是奔驰(1909年),然后是麦当劳(1962年),耐克(1971年),苹果公司第一个图标产生于1976年。因此选A项。 [答案]A B

There are several advantages in planting trees:they firm the soil,soak(渗透) up extra water and take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. However,it now turns out that planting trees could add to global warming. We all know that tree roots do a great job of keeping soil firmly on the ground and out of the wind's power. The problem is that some of the dust clouds play an important part in soaking up carbon dioxide. Huge dust storms blow out over the oceans from dry parts of North Africa and Central Asia. Tons of dust are lifted and left as a thin film over the ocean surface. Dust from China is carried east and left in the Pacific Ocean. If a tree­planting programme there is successful and the dust supply reduced, the net result may be that less carbon dioxide gets locked away in the ocean. Andy,an environmental scientist has spent the past few years studying dust and says his work shows clearly the complexity of the system. For this reason the need is to focus on cutting carbon dioxide giving off rather than doing anything else. Robert, an American scientist, has shown that when native grassland areas are invaded by trees, carbon is lost from the soil. “We are studying why the soil carbon disappears,but one theory is that trees do a lot more of their growing above ground compared to grass, so less carbon goes directly into the soil from trees.” said Robert.

In wet areas of the world, the gain from trees absorbing carbon dioxide above ground

用心 爱心 专心

11

seems to be outweighed by the loss of carbon from the soil below ground.

Countries that plan to fight against global warming by planting trees may have to think again. Solutions to environmental problems are often more complex than they first appear,and understanding the Earth's climate is a very great challenge. 60.People usually hold the opinion that ________. A. huge dust storms can destroy carbon dioxide B. planting trees could reduce global warming

C. huge dust storms can destroy the oceans on the Earth

D. planting trees is the only way to control huge dust storms [解析]推理判断题。从第一段的第二句“然而,现在证明植树可能会助长全球变暖”和最后一段第一句可推断出,人们通常所持的观点是“植树可能会减缓全球变暖”。 [答案]B

61.Andy, an environmental scientist, believes that________.

A. environmental problems are more complex than expected B. trees shouldn't have been planted in dry places C. dust plays a more important part than trees D. carbon dioxide is harmful to everything

[解析]细节理解题。由第四段第一句中的“says his work shows clearly the complexity of the system”可知,这位环保专家认为环境问题比人们估计的要更复杂。 [答案]A

62.Robert's experiment proves that ________. A. trees absorb more carbon than grass B. carbon can turn grass into dust

C. less carbon can make trees grow faster

D. grassland areas should be covered by forests

[解析]细节理解题。根据第五段内容可知,这位美国科学家通过研究发现,当树侵占了草坪的地方时,碳元素就从土壤中消失,分析其原因得知,与草相比,树在成长的过程中需要大量的碳,所以从树木那里直接进入到土壤里的碳就比从草里进入到土壤里的要少,即树比草吸收的碳要多。 [答案]A

63.The best title for this passage is “________”. A. The importance of planting trees

B. The dust clouds soak up carbon dioxide

C. Is it really useful to plant trees to reduce global warming? D. Why the soil carbon disappears

[解析]主旨大意题。全文通过实例证明植树可能会助长全球变暖,所以C项最能突出主题,其他三项只是文章内容的一个部分或某部分中的一个事实。 [答案]C C

However important school life may be,we can't ignore the fact that children spend more time at home than in the classroom. Therefore the great influence of parents can't be ignored or discounted by the teacher. They can become strong supports of the school or they can consciously or unconsciously prevent the school from accomplishing its aims.

Administrators have been aware of the need to keep_parents_apprised_of the newer methods used in schools. Many principals have conducted workshops explaining such matters as the reading readiness program and developmental math.

Moreover,the classroom teacher can also play an important role in explaining to parents what they should do. The informal tea and many interviews carried on during the year,as well as new ways of reporting pupils' progress, can significantly aid the interchange of ideas between school and home.

Suppose that a father has been drilling Junior in arithmetic processes night after night. In a friendly interview, the teacher can help the parent change his method. He might be persuaded to let Junior participate in discussing the family budget,buying the food,using a measuring cup at home, setting the clock, calculating mileage on a trip and engage in scores of other activities that have a mathematical basis. If the father follows the advice, it is reasonable to assume that he will soon realize his son is making satisfactory progress in math and at the same time,enjoying the work.

Too often, however, teachers' conferences with parents are devoted to unimportant accounts of children's wrong­doing, complaints about laziness and poor work habits,and suggestions for punishments and rewards at home.

What is needed is a more creative approach in which the teacher,as a professional advisor,plants ideas in parents' minds for the best use of the many hours that the child spends out of the classroom. In this way, the school and the home join forces in fostering the fullest development of youngsters' competence.

64.The underlined phrase “keep parents apprised of” in Para.2 probably means to let parents ________. A. judge B. know

C. design D. develop

[解析]词义猜测题。文章第一段告诉我们,对于老师来说,家长的作用不容忽视。再结合文章第二段中的“newer methods used in schools”“Many principals have conducted workshops explaining...”可以推断出keep parents apprised of在文中表示“让父母知道,通告父母”,故选B项。 [答案]B

65.What is the purpose of the schools' informal tea and interviews? A. To improve the relationship between teachers and parents. B. To explain to parents the change of the school curriculum.

C. To report students' misdoings and suggestions for punishments. D. To help develop good communication between school and home.

[解析]细节理解题。从第三段中的“...can significantly aid the interchange of ideas between school and home”可知,学校的非正式茶话会等活动能有效帮助学校和家庭之间交换意见,共同促进学生健康成长。所以D项为最佳选项。 [答案]D

Dear Economist,

My newly­wedded wife and I are deeply in love. There is, however, one issue that threatens the happiness of our marriage. I absolutely insist on shopping at Walmart. My wife, meanwhile, would rather avoid Walmart at all costs. I have recently tried to convince her that not only does Walmart offer the lowest prices known to man, but that the chain is also a force for good—lower prices mean better standards of living for all consumers, increased global trade means a tighterknit(紧密团结的) international community, and efficient operations translate into higher productivity growth for the economy. My wife complains about poor labour policies, the fact that Walmart squeezes suppliers, and that it puts local shops out of business.

Who is right? Will our marriage survive? Brian Gee Dear Brian,

I have to agree with you about Walmart. Jason Furman,then an economist at New York University, now an adviser to President Obama, famously argued in 2005 that Walmart was unwittingly (不知不觉地) a progressive success story.The chain's prices don't much affect me(I prefer Whole Foods)but Furman estimated that they benefited low­and­middle­income Americans to the sum of around $250 billion a year. Walmart does not pay much, so it may depress wages.Then again, it may increase wages by offering jobs to the otherwise—unemployed. Either way, the benefits of low prices to Walmart shoppers far outweigh any seemingly reasonable costs to Walmart employees. And while it is true that Walmart employees tend to be poor,the same is true of Walmart shoppers.

Armed with this information you can face your wife with confidence. You are sure to win the conversation. The divorce is likely to be more argued. Economist

68. What concerned Brian Gee so much that he wrote the letter? A. His wife refuses to shop at Walmart. B. They are faced with a divorce.

C. They can't afford the costs of shopping at Walmart. D. They are in conflict about shopping at Walmart. [解析]细节理解题。第一段第二句提到有一个问题影响到两人的美满婚姻,这正是他写信求助的原因。再结合下文中提到的矛盾冲突可知D项正确。 [答案]D

69.Brian Gee's wife tends to hold the opinion that________. A. it is wrong for Walmart to depress its employees' wages B. consumers' lives have improved thanks to Walmart

C. Walmart's business operation increased productivity in economy D. Walmart's business increases global trade

[解析]细节理解题。根据第一封信中的“My wife complains about poor labour policies,the fact that Walmart squeezes suppliers”可知她认为沃尔玛公司降低员工的工资是错误的。另外,第二封信第二段第一句也是线索提示。 [答案]A

70.What can be inferred from the reply letter?

A. Some employees accept the low pay to keep the job.

B. Walmart appeals to only poor consumers and poor employees.

C. Employees suffer from Walmart's low prices more than consumers.

D. Jason Furman, a New York University economist,spoke highly of Walmart. [解析]推理判断题。结合第二封信第二段第二句以及最后一句的内容可以推断一些员工为了保住工作而接受低报酬。 [答案]A

第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Making Peace with Your Parents

As a teen,you're going through big changes physically and mentally. Your interests are expanding. __71__

Here is the challenge:Kids need to explore the world in new ways, and parents need to protect them from the dangers in that world. These conflicts can easily set off fireworks in otherwise calm houses. Sometimes conflicts can't be avoided. But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships, you can work towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents.

For instance,try to find a time to talk when your parents are not angry, tired, distracted or hungry. A good time to talk is when you're all relaxed. Timing is everything. If the conversation begins to turn into an argument, you'd better calmly and coolly ask to stop the conversation—for now. __72__ Listen to what your parents are saying, and repeat it back to them. This shows them that you're listening. __73__

Respect is the building block of good communication. People who respect each other and care about each others' feelings can disagree without things getting ugly. __74__ How do you build trust? Trust comes by actually doing what you say you're going to do. Some teens find that doing fun activities with their parents can improve their relationships. Sometimes we forget that parents are more than rule­makers—they're interesting people who like to watch movies and go

shopping—just like their teenagers!

What do you do if you are trying your best, but your relationship with your parents continues to be rocky? __75__ You can find supportive adults,such as a teacher or a coach,who can lend an ear.
