2.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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
How would you feel if you had just returned home at 1:30 a.m. from a two-month trip through Cambodia, Vietnam and the Philippines wanting nothing more than to sleep in your own bed, only to discover your entire room had been transformed into a pink, princess wonderland equipped with bright and shining furniture, a dollhouse and stuffed(标本) animals? That's exactly what happened on June 17 to Tom Overend, 26, from Footscray, Australia, when he got back to the house he shares with four of his best friends.
"We live in an old large refitted shop, where we host things often," Overend wrote in an email to GoodMorningAmerica.com. "Whenever we do, everything gets piled into my room. I was expecting to return to a storage room, which I think is why they deliberately set out to achieve the opposite."
His four friends completed the entire room makeover in two days, including all the time it took to shop, decorate and paint the space. They even created a Facebook event inviting 15 additional net friends to get involved in the process.
When asked if his friends often play tricks like this, Overend responded, "Yes, but this has certainly raised the bar. We like surprises. We're blessed with a creative household. I'd say we don't even consider them 'tricks.' We just enjoy upstaging each other's surprises. "Overend's roommates claim the entire room cost them less than ＄60 to construct. Most of the toys were borrowed from friends, the bed they bought for free from Gumtree, an Australian version of Craigslist, and the bright pink paint only cost ＄14.
However, revenge(报复) might be in store for one of Overend's roommates, Marc McIntyre, who is the next of the young men to go on a lengthy trip. Overend wrote. "I'm looking into how much it'll cost to fill his room with deer and lions. He's definitely getting some kind of unique animals in there. I promise."
（1）On arrival at home from a long trip, Overend felt that ______
A. he could hardly go to sleep
B. his room was in a mess.
C. His room, has changed a lot.
D. He was eager to share his experience
（2）the underlined word “bar” in paragraph 4 means_______
A. doubt B. level
C. cost D. popularity
（3）Why did Overend’s friend make transformation in his room?
A. to construct a pretty room
B. To attract mare net friends
C. To give him a big surprise
D. To show off their creativity
（4）What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Overend and friends often play with some animals.
B. Marc might have participate in the transformation of his room.
C. It costs much to decorate and paint a room/
D. Overend is not getting well with his friends.
正确答案
（1）C
（2）B
（3）C
（4）B
解析
（1）细节理解题。第一段第一句话提到“…only to discover your entire room had been transformed into a pink, princess wonderland…”，而第二句话提到“That's exactly what happened on June 17 to Tom Overend, 26, from Footscray, Australia, when he got back to the house…”。由此可知，当奥弗伦回到家时，他的房间发生了很大变化，C项与此相符。
（2）词义猜测题。第四段划线词前面提到“When asked if his friends often play tricks like this, Overend responded, ‘Yes, but this has certainly raised…”，即被问起是否他的朋友经常玩这样的把戏时，奥弗伦说是这样，但是已经有所提高，很显然，划线词的意思就是“水平”之意，与B项的词义接近。
（3）细节理解题。第四段第一句话的引号内提到“We like surprises… We just enjoy upstaging each other’s surprises.”。显而易见，奥弗伦的朋友之所以对他的房间进行了改造装饰，就是为了给他一个大大的惊喜。故答案选C。
（4）推理判断题。最后一段开头提到“However, revenge might be in store for one of Overend's roommates, Marc McIntyre, who is the next of the young men to go on a lengthy trip.”，即报复可能在等待奥弗伦的一个室友，马克·麦金太尔，他是下一个去漫长旅行的人。既然谈到了“报复”，显然马克·麦金太尔很可能参与了奥弗伦房间的改造装饰。故选B。
3.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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
It's almost impossible to go through life without experiencing some kind of failure. If you have a fear of failure, you might be uncomfortable setting goals. But goals help us decide where we want to go in life. Without goals, we have no sure destination.
Many experts recommend visualization(形象化) as a powerful tool for goal setting. Imagining how life will be after you've reached your goal is a great motivator to keep you moving forward. However, visualization might produce the opposite results in people who have a fear of failure. In his article, researcher Thomas Langens showed that people who have a fear of failure were often left in a strong negative mood（消极情绪）after being asked to visualize goals and goal attainment.
So, what can you do instead?
Start by setting a few small goals. These should be goals that are slightly, but not overwhelmingly, challenging. Think of these goals as "early wins" that are designed to help improve your confidence. For example, if you've been too afraid to talk to the new department head (who has the power to give you the promotion you want), then make this your first goal: Plan to stop by her office during the next week to introduce yourself. Or, imagine that you've dreamed of returning to school to get your MBA(工商管理硕士), but you're convinced that you're not smart enough to be accepted into business school. Set a goal to talk with a school counselor or admissions officer to see what's required for admission.
Try to make your goals tiny steps on the route to much bigger goals. Don't focus on the end picture: getting the promotion, or graduating with an MBA. Just focus on the next step: introducing yourself to the department head, and talking to an admissions officer. That's it.
Taking one small step at a time will help build your confidence, keep you moving forward, and prevent you from getting overwhelmed with visions of your final goal.
（1）The opinion of Thomas Langens is used to ____________.
A. prove the limitations of visualization
B. tell the results of setting goals
C. draw the readers’ attention to the topic
D. stress the importance of visualization
（2） The fourth paragraph is developed mainly by ____________.
A. analyzing causes
B. making comparisons
C. giving examples
D. following the order of space
（3） What is the main theme of the passage?
A. Having a goal is vital to success.
B. Ways to overcome your fear of failure.
C. Skills to set your goals.
D. Visualization is a powerful tool for goal setting.
正确答案
（1）A
（2）C
（3）C
解析
（1）推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“…Thomas Langens showed that people who have a fear of failure were often left in a strong negative mood after being asked to visualize goals and goal attainment”，并结合上文内容可知，Thomas Langens的观点证明了形象化的局限性。故选A。
（2）推理判断题。根据第四段第四句“For example, if you've been too afraid to talk…”，并结合下文可知，第四段主要是以举例的形式来展开内容的。故选C。
（3）主旨大意题。根据第三段“So, what can you do instead?”，并结合下文内容可知，短文的主题是设定目标的技巧。故选C。
1.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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Historians usually just study great things that happened in the past time, but Drew Faust has made history! On February 11, 2007, Faust was named president of Harvard University. She is the first woman to hold the position in the school's 371-year history.
“I am a historian," she said. "I've spent a lot of time thinking about the past, and about how it shapes the future. No university in the country, perhaps the world, has as remarkable a past as Harvard's. “
“And our common enterprise is to make Harvard's future even more remarkable than its past. That will mean recognizing and building on what we already do well. It will also mean recognizing what we don't do as well as we should, and not being satisfied until we find ways to do better.”
It is her great desire for improvement and willingness to try out new ideas that have given Drew success in a world controlled by men. "This is a man's world, my girl, and the sooner you learn that, the better off you'll be." Drew Faust recalls her mother telling her this when she was young, but she didn't accept it.
Faust grew up in a well-off family in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley in the 19（10）s. Even then, she was a trailblazer (先驱). A conversation with her family's black handyman (零工) and driver inspired her to write a letter, on school notebook paper, to President Dwight Eisenhower.
She asked that he help bring US citizens together in the south, a much divided part of the country at the time.
"Drew Faust is a historian with her eyes on the future," said Susan Graham, a professor of Harvard. Many of the university's schools said that they believe Harvard will have a brighter future under the leadership of Drew Faust.
（1）Why does the writer say Drew Faust has made history?
A. Because she was president of Harvard University.
B. Because she was the first woman to be president of Harvard University.
C. Because she is a historian.
D. Because Harvard has a remarkable past.
（2） What do we know about historians?
A. They are usually women. \
B. They are usually presidents of universities.
C. They are usually born in well-off families.
D. They usually study great things that happened in the past.
（3）What did her mother mean by saying ''This is a man’s world, my girl... '' ?
A. To encourage her to do man's work.
B. To ask her to be well-off.
C. To tell her to do things as a girl should do.
D. To expect her to be a historian.
（4） Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Faust was born in the north of the US.
B. She wrote a letter to President Eisenhower when she became president of Harvard.
C. Historians just care about great things that happened in the past.
D. Faust's desire for improvement and willingness to try out new ideas has given her success.

正确答案
（1）later

（6） left

（8） relaxing
（9） their
（10）older

（3）考查介词。“remind sb of sth”为固定短语，意为“提醒某人某事”。
（4）考查定语从句。things之后为定语从句，关系词在从句中作主语，且先行词前有all修饰，故用that作为引导词。
（5）考查冠词。change 为可数名词表泛指，quite a change 意为“非常大的转变”，故填不定冠词。
（6）考查时态。根据pre-kid years可知，空格处是过去发生的动作，应用一般过去时态，故填left。
（7）考查非谓语动词。空格处作后置定语，且二者之间是被动关系，故空格处填called。
（8）考查形容词。空格处作表语，结合语境“生活是轻松的”可知，relaxing与题意相符（分词形容词化）。
（9）考查物主代词。空格处作定语，用于指代 “my boys”，结合短语“one’s own + sth.”可知，空格处应填their。
（10）考查形容词比较级。此处表示随着年龄的增大，故空格处表比较，填older。

Yesterday I attended a lecture delivering by Professor Zhang. From lecture I learned that, with the development of TV and computers, people today sit a lot more than ever before on history. That has a bad effect on their healthy. Not only can this habit make your neck and back ache, but it may also make you fat, increase with the risk of heart disease and even death.
To prevent these problem, Professor Zhang suggested those who sit too much formed some good habits in life, such as going to school or work on foot or by bike. He particular reminded us that our students should stand up to do some activities during break time at school.
正确答案
（1）delivering→ delivered。
（2）∧lecture→ the。
（3）on→ in。
（4） healthy→ health。
（5） and→ or。
（6）删除with。
（7） problem→ problems。
（8）formed→ form。
（9）particular→ particularly。
（10）our→ we。
解析
（1）delivering→ delivered。第一段第一句，lecture之后为非谓语动词短语作后置定语，表被动完成，故应用过去分词形式。
（2）∧lecture→ the。第一段第二句，lecture表示特指，因此之前应用定冠词。
（3）on→ in。第一段第二句，“in history”为常用短语，意为“在历史上”。
（4）healthy→ health。第一段第三句，根据物主代词their可知，healthy应用名词形式。
（5）and→ or。第一段最后一句，根据语境“这种习惯可能会使让你的颈部或背部疼痛”可知，并列连词and应改为or。
（6）删除with。第一段最后一句，increase是及物动词，之后可直接跟名词作宾语，不需要使用介词。
（7）problem→ problems。第二段第一句，these应该接可数名词的复数形式。
（8）formed→ form。第二段第一句，suggested意为“建议”，所接宾语从句应用虚拟语气，即“(should) + 动词原形”。
（9）particular→ particularly。第二段第二句，reminded之前应用副词作状语。
（10）our→ we。第二段第二句，that之后的our应改为we，因students是主语的同位语。

4.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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Olaf Stapledon wrote a book called First and Last Men, in which he looked millions of years ahead. He told of different men and of strange civilizations, broken up by long ‘dark ages’ in between. In his view, what is called the present time is no more than a moment in human history and we are just the First Men. In 2,000 million years from now there will be the Eighteenth or Last Men.
However, most of our ideas about the future are really very short-sighted. Perhaps we can see some possibilities for the next fifty years. But the next hundred? The next thousand? The next million? That's much more difficult.
When men and women lived by hunting 50000years ago, how could they even begin to picture modern life? Yet to men of 50000years from now, we may seem as primitive in our ideas as the Stone-Age hunters do to us. Perhaps they will spend their days goallocking to make new spundles, or struggling with their ballalators through the cribe. These words, which I have just made up, have to stand for things and ideas that we simply can't think of.
So why bother even to try imagining life far in the future? Here are two reasons. First, unless we remember how short our own lives are compared with the whole human history, we are likely to think our own interests are much more important than they really are. If we make the earth a poor place to live on, because we are careless or greedy or quarrelsome, our grandchildren will not bother to think of excuses for us.
Second, by trying to escape from present interests and imagine life far in the future, we may arrive at quite fresh ideas that we can use ourselves. For example, if we imagine that in the future men may give up farming, we can think of trying it now. So set your imagination free when you think about the future.
（1）A particular mention made of Stapledon's book in the opening paragraph ______.
A. serves as an introduction to the discussion
B. serves as a description of human history
C. shows a disagreement of views
D. shows the popularity of the book
（2）The text discusses men and women 50000 years ago and 50000years from now in order to show that ______.
A. human history is extremely long
B. it is difficult to tell what will happen in the future
C. it is useless to plan for the next50000ears
D. life has changed a great deal
（3）Spundles and ballalators are used in the text to refer to ______.
A. unknown things in the future B. ideas about modern life
C. tools used in farming D. hunting skills in the Stone Age
（4）According to the writer of the text, imagining the future will ______.
A. make life worth living
B. enable us to better understand human history
C. help us to improve farming
D. serve the interests of the present and future generations
正确答案
（1）A
（2）B
（3）A
（4）D
解析
（1）推理判断题。根据第一段内容，并结合下文内容可知，作者在第一段开头提到了Stapledon所写的书，但是下文并没有深入探讨该书的内容，而只是为了引出下文要谈论的话题，故选A。
（2）推理判断题。根据第二段后四句“But the next hundred?...The next million? That's much more difficult”，并结合第三段前两句“…50000 years ago, how could they even begin to picture modern life? Yet to men of50000ears from now…”可知，很难想象将来会发生什么。故选B。
（3）指代判断题。根据第三段最后一句“These words, which I have just made up, have to stand for things and ideas that we simply can't think of”可知，这些是作者杜撰的词，指代将来未知的东西。故选A。
（4）推理判断题。根据最后两段内容可知，对于想象将来生活情况的原因，一方面我们因粗心大意或贪得无厌把地球搞得不宜居住，将来我们子孙就不难找到迁怒于我们的理由，而另一方面，这有助于我们做好目前的事情，因此对将来发挥想象有利于当代人和后代人的利益。故选D。
5.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。
Five ways to help you find the true meaning of life
1. Figure out what you need
Sometimes it’s hard to figure out what you need. (1) Is it your family? The freedom to express yourself? Love? Financial security? Something else? If it helps, you can make a list of priorities. Also think about the kind of legacy you want to leave behind.
