听力原文：W: Dr. Green, congratulations on the success of your new book! We learned that it has been translated into 30 languages—English, of course, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, and so on.M: Thanks, Helen.W: Well, could you tell us what this popular book is about?M: It’s called In Praise of Slow: It’ s about how the world got stuck in fast-forward, and how more and more people everywhere are slowing down. In other words, it’s about the rise of the Slow Movement.W: What is the Slow Movement?M: It is a revolution against the idea that faster is always better. When I say “slow”, I don’t mean doing everything slowly. It’s about doing everything as well as possible, instead of as fast as possible. It’s about quality in everything we do.W: When and where was this “slow” idea born?M: It was born in the early 1990s in Italy. It began as the Slow Food Movement , which centered on food. More recently, “slow” has become popular worldwide. W: Have we reached the point of trying to speed up something that cannot really be sped up? M: Of course. The Internet connects us in wonderful ways, but it also leads us into trying to hurry up relationships. So you find people online saying they have more than 4,000 friends. The very idea of friendship is not considered important. And we may be losing the ability to make friends. In Britain, a study found that in the past ten years, the number of children who say they have no best friend rose from under one in eight to nearly one in five!

13． How many languages has Dr. Green’s new book been translated into? A．5. B．13 C．30

正确答案：C

16． What is the main idea Dr. Green tries to express in the talk?

A．To be slow means to focus on quality. B．Friendship should be developed slowly. C．The British support the Slow Movement.

正确答案：A

听力原文： Good morning, everyone. I’ m pleased to be here to give a talk. We’re two brothers from Canada, and we’ve been living in Thailand for eight years. We noticed that most English lessons here in schools focus only on reading and writing, so a lot of people can’t understand and speak well in English. And we’d like to do something about it. Our idea is simple: we want to teach people how to understand and speak English like a native speaker. Different from broadcast English programs, we design special fun English programs based on the computer and use them to teach words and expressions we use in real life. We talk in a casual style on a number of interesting topics, and we share personal stories from our real lives. Now, we have over 200 units on our website. We make a new unit every week that you can listen to on your computer anytime you want. Our materials are from English movies, TV shows, and real-life conversations. We hope people will use the materials to practice every day. We are sure that your English will improve a lot.

17． Where does the speaker come from? A．Canada. B．England. C．Thailand.

正确答案：A

18． How does the speaker view the English lessons here in schools? A．They are not special. B．They are not enough. C．They are not interesting.

正确答案：B

19． In what way are the speaker’s English programs different? A．They are designed in various styles. B．They are broadcast live every day. C．They are based on the computer.

正确答案：C

20． What does the speaker expect people to do? A．Attend their English classes. B．Practice their English every day.

C．Watch English movies and TV shows.

正确答案：B

正确答案：A

解析：本题考查对全文的综合理解能力。作者在文章开头、结尾都提到了喜欢writing，文中讲到参加会议，也是作家会议，所以话题应该都是紧紧围绕写

语法填空

John: Mary, I’m looking for something【K1】______ (interest) to read. Any suggestions? Mary: I can recommend (推荐) All Joy and No Fun, which【K2】______ (be) out last week. It’ s the sort of book that you find hard to stop reading once you start. I finished it within two days. John: Sounds good. What’s it about, then? Mary:

It’ s about being a parent. It focuses on【K3】______ it is like to be a parent rather【K4】______ how to raise kids. It’ s【K5】______ (total) different from other books on parenting. John: I guess so. At least the title(书名) suggests something new. Mary: You’ re right. The author said she【K6】______ (borrow) it from a friend who recently had a kid. It has just five words,【K7】______ she finds it the best way of【K8】______ (describe) the true nature of being a parent. The point is: being a parent is full【K9】______ joy, but is no fun. After a long day at work, for example, you come home to a long “to do” list; dinner, homework, bedtime and so on. How do you feel? John: The【K10】______ (write) sees things from her own point of view. Mary: So she does. John: Oh, I can’ t wait to get a copy and read it at once.

41． 【K1】

正确答案：interesting

解析：本题考查了两个要点：(1)形容词修饰不定代词的用法。当形容词修饰不定代词如something，anything，nothing等时，形容词后置。(2)v．-ing形式的形容词意为“令人…的”，用来修饰物；v．-ed形式的形容词意为“感到…的”，用来修饰人。

42． 【K2】

正确答案：was

解析：本题考查时态的用法。句意是“这本书上周刚推出”，推出时间为上周，故应用一般过去时was。

43． 【K3】

正确答案：what

解析：本题考查宾语从句的引导词。focus on后接宾语从句，从句的主干是“it is like”，缺少like的对象，用what充当like的宾语，同时也引导从句。“what it is like”含义是“会是什么样子”。

44． 【K4】

正确答案：than 解析：本题考查固定搭配rather than的用法。该词组连接两个平等结构“what it is like”和“how to raise kids”，本句意为“这本书关注的是做父母会是什么样，而不是怎样育儿”。

45． 【K5】

正确答案：totally

解析：本题考查副词修饰形容词的知识点。空格上的词要修饰形容词

different，只能用副词totally。

46． 【K6】

正确答案：borrowed

解析：本题考查从句中谓语动词的用法。谓语动词的形式取决于三个要素：时态、语态及人称与数量。而从句中的谓语动词还需要考虑主句的时态，该题所在主句为said，一般过去时，决定了空格上只能用过去的时态，句意“她说这种表达是从一个最近刚有小孩的朋友处借用而来”，不强调“说”和“借”的前后顺序，只用来陈述事实，故用borrowed合适。

47． 【K7】

正确答案：but

解析：本题考查上下文理解及连词的使用。空格前意为“只有五个字”，空格后意为“她发现它是描述…的最好方式”，前后形成转折关系。故应用转折连词but。

48． 【K8】

正确答案：describing

解析：本题考查词形的变化及用法。空格前of为介词，后面应接名词或动名词，故动词describe应变换为动名词形式，即describing。

49． 【K9】

正确答案：of

解析：本题考查固定搭配。be full of表示“充满”。本句意为“做父母充满欢乐，但却没有乐趣可言”。

50． 【K10】

正确答案：writer

解析：本句考查定冠词。the后接名词表示特指某人或某物的用法。句意为“这位作者看问题有她自己的视角”。

阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

短文理解

It’s a time when school, homework, active social lives and part-time jobs keep teenagers(青少年) busy from early in the morning until late at night. They are likely to try to make up for a lack of sleep by “sleeping in” on the weekends.

Unfortunately, this causes irregular sleep and actually makes the problem worse. Most teenagers are not able to fall asleep until late at night. Since many teens aren’ t sleepy until around 11 p. m., but need to be at school by 7: 30 or 8: 00 a. m., they cannot get enough sleep. During puberty(青春期), the biological clock in the brain naturally re-sets to a later time, and this causes teens to fall asleep later. Then, when it’ s time to get up, a teen’ s body clock is likely to still be producing the night-time hormones (荷尔蒙). This makes it hard for them to feel active and energetic in the morning. A growing body of research suggests that starting high school later improves attendance, achievements and grades. A few years ago in an important study, test scores on the SAT college entrance exams in Edina, Minnesota jumped more than 100 points on average, when the morning school bell rang an hour later. Unfortunately, most schools are not set up to start later and fail to satisfy teen’ s sleep needs.

51． What effect does “sleeping in” on the weekends have on teenagers? A．Improving their health. B．Weakening their energy.

C．Disturbing their biological clock. D．Making up for their hormone loss.

正确答案：C

解析：细节题。题干意为“周末‘睡懒觉’对青少年有何影响?”由第一段末句“makes the problem worse”可知影响是负面的；由第二段第三句“the biological clock…re-sets…，causes teens to fall asleep later．”可知，这个负面影响主要是生物钟被重置，即为遭到破坏或扰乱。A选项完全有悖原文，B选项“削弱精力”和睡懒觉无关，D选项“弥补荷尔蒙缺失”在原文中未曾提及。故C正确。

52． The study in Minnesota shows that starting morning school one hour later helps to_______.

A．make teenagers grow faster B．change teenagers’ sleep needs C．do more research on teenagers D．improve students’ achievements

正确答案：D

解析：细节题。题干意为“明尼苏达州的研究表明，早间上课时间推迟一个小时有助于______。”原文最后一段提到，该地区SAT大学入学考试平均成绩提高(jump)了100多分，由此可见，D选项“提高学生成绩”是正确答案。另外三个选项“促进青少年成长”、“改变青少年睡眠需求”、“针对青少年做更多的研究”在原文中都未曾提及。故D正确。

53． The text helps us to know more about teenagers’________. A．daytime activities

B．sleeping habits C．mental problems D．studying methods

正确答案：B

解析：主旨题。题干意为“本文有助于我们了解更多青少年的______。”阅读原文可知，本文在重点讲述青少年的睡眠问题，包括导致青少年睡眠晚的原因，睡眠推迟带来的负面影响(如扰乱生物钟、导致睡眠不足、影响出勤率和学习效果等)，继而提出可以通过上课时间推迟来满足睡眠需求。全文始终在围绕青少年的睡眠问题展开。故B正确。

We feel it is important to start reading to your child right from the start—the younger the better! With little ones (children from birth to 4) it is very important to read and reread books. Starting early makes the job of the listener (for you will be teaching your child how to listen) easier, as it helps to develop an early love of the written and spoken word. We believe that you should read aloud to your child at least once every day. Set a special reading time during the day or evening when you can settle down and enjoy a book, without interruption. For most families, reading aloud at bedtime is a common practice. We understand that it can be quite discouraging to read to a child who takes no interest. Take heart! Learning to listen takes experience. The more you read, the more your child will learn to sit for a story. Children have a natural development of responses(反应) to your reading. By the time your child reaches 6- 7 months, s/he is attracted by the book in your hand, and would like to test it out by using it as a chew(咀嚼) toy. This is natural! By one year, your child is learning to listen and talk about the pages, often shouting out things s/he recognizes. Encourage this! And at the onset(起始) of walking, you have your biggest challenge yet. Your child is always on the go. You need to set your reading time for a time in the day when your child is preparing to settle down. This means bedtime. Remember, it is your right and duty to teach your child about the power of books. Of course, it doesn’t happen overnight, but the returns are great!

54． Who does “the listener” in the first paragraph refer to? A．The writer. B．The child. C．The parent. D．The teacher.

正确答案：B

解析：细节题。题干意为“第一段中的‘the listener’指谁?”这篇文章主要在讲给小孩读书的重要性以及方法。由第一段中“the listener”后面括号中的补充内容“因为你在教给你的孩子怎样去听”可知，这里的listener是指你的孩子。故B正确。

55． The best time of the day to read stories to a child is________. A．when the child is still active in the early evening B．when the parents finish the day’ s housework C．when the child has a chew toy to play with D．when the child is quiet and peaceful

正确答案：D

解析：推断题。题干意为“一天中最适合给孩子读故事的时间是______。”第二段第四句话和第三段倒数第四句话均提到阅读时间，并且都用“settle down”，该词组意为“安定下来，平静下来”，对应D选项中的“quiet and peaceful”。故D正确。

56． Parents may find it most difficult to read to their child when s/he________. A．is 6-7 months old B．is one year old C．starts to walk D．starts to talk

正确答案：C

解析：细节题。题干意为“当孩子______时，父母可能会发现给他们读书最难。”由第三段第十句话“you have your biggest challenge”可以确定答案在此处，由该句的前半句“at the onset of walking”可知答案。故C正确。

Chicago’s Children’s Hospital is the lucky receiver of a surprise $18 million gift from Gladys Holm. She once was a secretary who never earned more than $15,000 a year and never married. She lived alone in a small flat in Chicago, and was a volunteer at the Children’s Hospital. She was called the “Teddy Bear Lady” because she brought toy animals to sick children on her regular visits. But Miss Holm, who died in 1996 at the age of 86, was also a long-time buyer of stocks(股票). Over the years, she saved money that rose up to $18 million, which she left to the Children’s Hospital. It was the largest single donation in the hospital’s 115-year history. The hospital president, Jan Jennings, was shocked when she heard the news. “When Miss Holm’s lawyer called to tell me how much that money was, I asked him to repeat it, since I was certain I had misheard.” Why did Gladys Holm feel so strongly about the Children’s Hospital? Jennings said the hospital first touched Miss Holm’s heart nearly 50 years ago, when doctors there saved the life of her friend’s daughter. She never forgot the happiness she felt all those years ago. Holm’s gift will be devoted to heart disease research. People at the hospital said they regretted that they couldn’t thank Miss Holm for the surprising gift.

57． According to the text, Miss Holm built up her fortune by________. A．playing Teddy Bear Lady

B．working as a secretary C．helping in the hospital D．buying stocks

正确答案：D

解析：缅节题。题干以为“根据本文内容，Holm女士通过______积累了她的资产。”从第一段第二句话可知，她的职业是秘书，年收入不超过1．5万美元，故B选项靠秘书工作积累是错误的。C选项是她的善举，与资产的累积无关。文章第一段第四句话提到“Teddy Bear Lady”是人们对她的昵称，不是表演，故A选项也错误。第一段第五句话“a long-time buyer of stocks”以及第六句话“she saved money that rose up to…”可知，她的这笔巨款是靠多年购买股票的增值，故D正确。

58． Why did Jan Jennings ask the lawyer to repeat what he said? A．She never expected Miss Holm would donate anything. B．She wanted to make sure who Gladys Holm was. C．She had seldom received donations before. D．She thought there was a mistake.

正确答案：D

解析：细节题。题干意为“Jan Jennings为何让律师重复一次他说的话?”从第一段末句中的“since I was certain I had misheard”可知，是因为数额巨大她不敢相信，以为自己听错了，故D为正确答案。A选项意为“她从未想到Holm女士会捐赠任何东西”，文中未提及。B选项意为“她想要确定Holm女士是谁”，院长对Holm女士很熟悉，甚至知道50年前的渊源，无需确定。C选项“她以前很少接受到捐赠”错误，只是很少接收到单笔数额这么高的捐赠。故D正确。

59． Miss Holm’s love for the Children’s Hospital grew from________. A．a happy life living with children B．a satisfying job given by the hospital

C．an unforgettable experience many years ago D．a valuable gift she received from the hospital

正确答案：C

解析：归纳题。题干意为“Holm女士对儿童医院的爱起源于______”，从第二段第二句话“…first touched…heart nearly 50 years ago…saved the life of her friend’s daughter”可知，是源于50年前该医院挽救了Holm女士朋友的女儿，故C选项“很多年前一次难忘的经历”符合题意。故C正确。

60． How will the donated money be used? A．To build up a new children’s hospital. B．To help sick children and their parents. C．To improve research on heart disease. D．To buy more toys for sick children.

正确答案：C 解析：细节题。题干意为“这笔捐赠款项将怎样使用?”。由末段首句“Holm’s gift will be donated to heart disease research．”可知，C选项符合题意。故C正确。

补全文章

There are few people who draw up life goals. Most people want to take one step at a time, and are frightened when they have to set life goals.【B1】______ They can’ t be more wrong. Life goals are only a road map. They record what you want to be at the end of your life.【B2】______ Others may want to be known as great builders or great sportspeople. In fact, there is no end to what you may want to be. However, the only way you can achieve your dream is by writing down your goal. Once you have done that, you need to break this goal into several small goals. While writing the small goals, you must provide for change.【B3】______ If you want to achieve your goals, you should be prepared to change them from time to time. This makes your goals really up-to-date. Also, there cannot be just one life goal. There are at least five subjects that you need to address. These are: education, career(职业), family, health and money.【B4】______ For example, there can be no career goals unless they are backed by education goals. Similarly, there can be no family goals unless they are based on practical financial(金融的) goals. None of these goals is taught in college. Yes, there are some families that try to train their kids to think wisely, and plan for their life.【B5】______ They know what they want to get in life. They are also mentally prepared for most of the difficulties they expect to meet on the way.[A] These are happy families.[B] Good health helps you to realize your goals.[C] Nothing remains unchanged in this world.[D] Many people do not know how to set life goals.[E] To them, life is too big to be reduced to a few goals.[F] You will find that all these goals are related.[G] Some may want to be known as great scientists.

61． 【B1】

正确答案：E

解析：从第二段第一句“They can’t be more wrong．”可推断出，本题所对应的句子应该是接着前一句“他们面临设置人生目标时会感到恐慌”继续讲，而且这种观点会错得很离谱。E选项“对于他们，人生范围太大了，不能缩减成几个小小的目标”符合上下文。故E正确。

62． 【B2】

正确答案：G

解析：空格前在讲生活目标的作用，空格之后却忽然提到另外一些人，显得很突兀，可见此空格处必然应该先讲“一些人”，才能有后面的“另外一些人”。G选项“一些人想要成为伟大的科学家被大家熟知”符合文意。故G正确。

63． 【B3】

正确答案：C

解析：空格前面讲到“你必须做好改变的准备”，空格后讲“若想实现目标，你应该准备好不停地改变”，由此可知，此空格对应的句子应该和“改变”有关。C选项“这个世界上没有什么是保持不变的”符合文意。故C正确。

64． 【B4】

正确答案：F 解析：空格前提到五个方面的目标，空格后即开始举例说教育目标和职业目标，家庭目标和金钱目标的联系，可见空格处应该是在概括地讲五个方面目标的联系。F选项“你会发现所有这些目标都是相互联系的”符合文意。故F正确。

65． 【B5】

正确答案：A 解析：空格前讲一些家庭开始培养孩子的能力，空格后讲这些孩子目标明确，做好了迎接挑战的心理准备。A选项“这些家庭是幸福的”符合文章。故A正确。

改写对话

67． 阅读下面对话，根据其内容写一篇有关Linda帮助祖父搬家的短文。

要求：1．所写短文应与对话相关内容意义相符，涵盖其要点；2．用你自己的语言表达，可改写对话中的句子，但不可照抄原句。注意：1．词数80词左右，开头已为你写好；2．请将短文直接写在答题卡上的相应位置。John: Hi, Linda. I’ m thinking of going camping this weekend with Mary and Tom. Will you join us? Linda: I’d like to, but I’m going to help my grandfather. He’s moving out this weekend. John: Oh, is he? That’s an important thing. Where’s your grandfather living now? Linda: In a two-story house here at Morris Plains. He doesn’t like it. It’s too big for him. John: What’s the new house like, then?Linda: It’s a small apartment. In fact, it’s the smallest one here in the neighborhood(居住区). John: Is it near your house?Linda: Yes, not even a mile away. He wants to be closer to me, you know. John: Sounds like a perfect home for him. It must have taken your grandfather a long time to find the apartment. Linda: Actually, I found this apartment for him. A year ago, he started to think about moving. He wanted a smaller apartment. He also wanted there to be a supermarket and a hospital in the neighborhood. John: A smaller apartment and closer to his granddaughter. So, your grandfather must be glad now. Linda: You’ re right, John.

正确答案： Linda is going to help her grandfather move out this weekend. Her grandfather is living in a two-story house at Morris Plains, but he doesn’t like it because it is too big for him to live alone. He wants to live in a smaller apartment closer to Linda, with a supermarket and a hospital in the neighborhood. So Linda helps him to find this smallest apartment in the neighborhood, which is less than a mile away from her own house. This apartment meets his all needs and he is very glad now.

解析：本题要求把对话改写成一篇小短文介绍Linda帮祖父搬家的事情。改写时首先要注意语气的变化，应由对话的第一、二人称转换为第三人称的客观陈述语气；其次，抓住和祖父搬家有关的事项要点，进行重新排序，先概述Linda周末要帮祖父搬家，再阐明祖父为何不想在原住处居住，以及他对新居的要求；最后再表明Linda帮忙寻找的新居符合祖父的要求，他很满意。这样才能做到短文思路清晰，叙述条理。
