Her body language said that she was having a _47 day．My anger melted away．I wished I could wrap her in a hug but I was a 48 ．So I did what I could in a minute 49 she hurried past me－I smiled．In a second everything changed．She was astonished, then somewhat 50 ．Then her face softened and her shoulders 51 ．I saw her take a deep breath．Her pace slowed and she smiled back at me as we passed each other．I continued to smile all the way to my _52 ．Wow, it's amazing what a simple smile can do． From then on, I became aware of people's 53 and my own, the way we show our feelings．NowI use that _54 every day to let it 55 me that when facing the world, I can try a smile．36．A．found B．helped C．troubled D．enjoyed37．A．things B．packages C．chances D．dollars38．A．lifted B．cashed C．weighed D．carried39．A．pleased B．disappointed C．delighted D．annoyed40．A．business B．choice C．situation D．attitude41．A．away B．about C．along D．aside42．A．counter B．cashier C．exit D．entrance43．A．weather B．service C．work D．shopping 44．A．satisfaction B．decision C．direction D．imagination 45．A．announced B．discovered C．proved D．noticed46．A．trusted B．recognized C．hid D．persuaded47．A．rough B．bright C．big D．nice48．A．gentleman B．stranger C．customer D．passenger49．A．until B．though C．before D．since50．A．attracted B．frightened C．cheered D．confused51．A．trembled B．raised C．relaxed D．tightened52．A．car B．office C．home D．doctor 53．A．appearances B．reactions C．behaviors D．expressions 54．A．treatment B．awareness C．conclusion D．achievement 55．A．remind B．show C．give D．tell第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，40分）第一节：（共15小题；每小题2分，共30分）AThe Doll and the White RoseI was walking around in a mall, when I saw a cashier hand this little boy some money back．The cashier said, "I'm sorry, but you don't have enough money to buy this doll．”The little boy seemed very disappointed．I walked toward him and asked him who he wished to give this doll to．"It's the doll that my sister wanted so much for Christmas．She was sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her: But Santa Claus can't bring it to her where she is now．I have to give the doll to my mommy sothat she can give it to my sister when she goes there．"His eyes were so sad．"My sister has gone to be with God．Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister．”My heart nearly stopped．The little boy looked up at me and continued, "I told Daddy to tell Mommy not to go yet．I need her to wait until I come back from the mall．"I quickly reached for my wallet and said," Suppose we check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll．""OK, I hope I do have enough," he said．I put some of my money with his without him seeing and we started to count it．There was enough for the doll and even some spare money．Surprisingly, the little boy cried, "Thank you God for giving me enough money!" Then he looked at me and added, "I asked last night before I went to sleep for God to make sure I had enough money to buy this doll, so that Mommy could give it to my sister． He heard me! I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy, but I didn't dare to ask God for too much．But he gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose ! "Then I remembered two days before a local newspaper reported an accident in which a woman and a little girl were badly injured．The little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a critical state．Was this the family of the little boy?Two days after I met the little boy, I read in the newspaper that the woman had passed away．I couldn't stop myself from going to the funeral．Teary-eyed, I felt that my life had been changed forever．56．The boy wanted to buy the doll because ．A．he had always been eager for such a dollB．Santa Claus didn't give him any Christmas giftC．he would give it to his mother as a birthday surpriseD．he wanted to turn his sister's Christmas wish into reality57．We can learn from the story that ．A．the boy's sister died after staying in hospital for two weeksB．the boy's family were all seriously injured in a car accidentC．the author gave the boy some extra money without his noticeD．the boy's mother always wished to receive a white rose on Christmas58．The story most probably conveys the message that ．A．a kind act can bring joy and hope to othersB．a gift is a perfect way to express love for othersC．losing a family member is a heavy blow to childrenD．a religious belief can help one solve problems in his lifeB"Panopticon" is a place in which everything is in full view of others．A recent New York Times " House and Home" article featured the story of a man who lives in a glass house．Every wall in his home is transparent; he has no walls to hide behind, not even in the bathroom．Of course, he lives in a remote area where he doesn't exactly have neighbors looking in and watching his every move．But he has chosen to live without any physical privacy in a home that allows every action to be seen．He has created his own panopticon of sorts． The term panopticon was coined by Jeremy Bentham in the late eighteenth century when he was describing an idea for how prisons should be designed．The prisoners' cells would be placed in a circle with a guard tower in the middle．All walls facing the center of the circle would be glass．In that way, every prisoner's cell would be in full view of the guards．The prisoners could do nothing unobserved, but the prisoners would not be able to see the guard tower．They would know they were being watched - or rather, they would know that they could be being watched －but because they could not see the observer, they would never know when the guard was actually monitoring their actions．Similarly, it is common that people behave differently when they know they are being watched．We act differently when we know someone is looking; we act differently when we think someone else might be looking．In these situations, we are less likely to be ourselves; instead, we will act the way we think we should act when we are being observed by others．In our wired society, many talk of the panopticon as a metaphor （隐喻） for the future．But in many ways, the panopticon is already here．Monitoring cameras are everywhere, and we often don't even know our actions are being recorded．In addition, we leave a record of everything we do online．And most of us have no idea just how much information about us has been recorded and how much data is available to various sources．We can do little to stop the information gathering and exchange and can only hope to be able to control the damage if something goes wrong．59．According to the passage, a panopticon is ．A．a prison cellB．a house that is transparentC．a tower that provides a broad viewD．a place where everything can be seen by others60．From Paragraph 3, we learn that panopticon ．A．is not applicable outside the prisonB．is used everywhere in public placesC．is an effective tool to control prisonersD．is an effective tool to share information．61．Why does the author say that panopticon is already here?A．Because our privacy is completely transparent．B．Because we are all prisoners m our own homes．C．Because our actions are observed and recorded in many cases．D．Because we are always afraid that someone might be watching us62．A key difference between prison panopticon and panopticon in our daily life is that ． A．prisoners can see their observers, but we can'tB．prisoners know that they may be being watched, but we often don'tC．prisoners are more protected in their panopticon than we are in oursD．prisoners are less observed about privacy issues than technology usersCI want to talk about the economy．Not "the economy" we hear about endlessly in the news each day and in politicians' speeches．I want to talk about the real economy, the one we live in day by day．Most people aren't particularly interested in "the economy"．"Share prices are flying high; interest rates are soaring; the Dow Jones Index closed sixty-three points down on 8472．35．" We hear this and subconsciously switch off．Notice that "the economy" is not the same as the economy, "The economy" is what men in suits play with to make vast personal wealth．The economy is where the rest of us live on a daily basis, earning our living, paying our taxes, and purchasing the necessities of life．We are supposed to be benefiting from all the advantages of a well-off society．So why do we feel tired and stressed? We have no time for anything other than work, which is ridiculous given the number of labor-saving devices in our lives．Our towns become more and more crowded．Wepoison our air and seas, and our food is full of chemicals．There's something wrong here．If times were truly good, then you may think we'd all feel optimistic about the future．Yet the majority of us are deeply worried．More than 90 percent of us think we are too concerned about ourselves and not concerned enough about future generations．The term "economic expansion" suggests something desirable, but expansion simply means spending more money．More spending doesn't mean that life is getting better．We all know it often means the opposite - greed, crime, poverty, pollution．More spending merely feeds our whole economic system, which is based on production and consumption．Unless money keeps circulating, the economy breaks down．If we don't keep consuming, the whole system goes into stalemate（僵局）．How do we break the cycle and make some changes? We need to become far more aware of the results of our actions．We buy clothes that are made in sweat shops by virtual slaves in poor parts of the world．We create mountains of waste．We demand cheap food, mindless of the fact that it totally lacks taste and is produced using chemicals that poison the land．The consumption culture makes us unaware of the effect of our own behavior．Our main problem is not that we don't know what to do about it．It is gathering the desire to do it．63．According to the author, which one belongs to the real economy?A．The Dow Jones Index．B．Increases in interest rates．C．Skyrocketing share prices．D．Shopping in a supermarket．64．It can be concluded from Paragraph 4 that ．A．people are benefiting from a well-off societyB．the future generation is a big concern for most peopleC．the majority of people are optimistic about the futureD．people still feel much pressure despite labor-saving devices65．What is true about economic expansion?A．It guarantees a better life for us．B．It may lead to some social problems．C．It will stop the circulation of money．D．It has only brought desirable effects．66．The author writes the passage mainly to ．A．call on us to change our behaviorB．suggest a solution for over-consumptionC．make a distinction between two economiesD．inform us of the effects of economic expansionDYou Are What You EatGenetic（基因的）engineering is the scientific change of the genetic material in a living organism． It allows scientists to identify specific genes, to remove them from an organism's chromosomes （染色体）, improve them, analyze them, and possibly clone them, and to then reinsert the changed gene into the original organism, or a completely different organism．Unlike traditional breeding （繁殖）, where a desired quality would be bred within the same species, genetic engineering can insert desired ones into organisms of different species．Wow…Did you catch that?Genetic engineering creates many positive contributions to agriculture． For example, by genetically engineered（GE）foods, anti-cancer agents, minerals and vitamins can be increased．Improved taste, shelf life, and better transport are all possible．Also, GE plants can increase pest and bacterial resistance, therefore, making the food safe for consumers．But some argue that the possible negative effects outweigh the positives, and critics are starting to voice their concerns． Unlike Europe, in the United States labeling is not required on genetically engineered foods or on foods that contain genetically engineered products． Most Americans do not realize that they are, in fact, eating GE foods．The public is also concerned about the unknown health risks．With limited understanding of genes, scientists cannot predict possible effects．Because most genes introduced into GE plants come from sources not introduced into the human body, it is impossible to know if they will cause reactions． Moreover, due to the lack of labeling if allergies develop, it will be extremely difficult to find the origin of them．There is also a major moral question in many minds．For many, the conflict is not if it is safe or not, but it disturbs them because it is unnatural and unnecessary．We are currently producing one and a half times the amount of food needed to feed the world, yet one in seven people are starving．GE food is unnecessary, and fails to address the root of hunger． Many believethat the only people who will benefit are the corporations that produce it．Scientists cannot foresee t．he possible effects of GE foods, yet we eat them every day without even knowing it．We already have enough food, so why create more that could be potentially harmful to us, to the Earth and to all wildlife? I think that the benefits are amazing, but until we know for sure how these foods will affect us, they are not worth the risk．67．According to the passage, traditional breeding is different from genetic engineering in that ．A．traditional breeding changes the genes in the same speciesB．traditional breeding changes the genes in different speciesC．traditional breeding takes place within the same speciesD．traditional breeding is more scientific68．"The lack of labeling" in Paragraph 4 indicates ．A．information concerning gene sources is unavailable to customersB．it is currently possible to find the origins of some allergiesC．scientists try to hide potential dangers from customersD．the US government is responsible for GE food69．According to Paragraph 5, GE food is unnecessary because ．A．it won't help solve the problem of hunger in the worldB．there are potential dangers in producing GE foodC．we're now producing more food than beforeD．customers will benefit from GE food70．What is the author's attitude towards genetic engineering?A．Welcoming．B．Disapproving．C．Unconcerned． D．Optimistic．第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。

You are discussing the following picture with your English friend Jim．Now you are telling him how you understand the picture and what makes you think so.内容要点：1．打车出行 2. 发现相机丢失 3. 打电话联系 4.司机送来相机One possible version:Saturday, April 2 FineThis morning, my foreign teacher Tim and I planned to go to the People’s Park to enjoy ourselves. We took a taxi and it wasn’t long before we arrived at the gate of the park. On seeing the green trees and blooming flowers, Tim couldn’t wait to take pictures. It was at that moment that we found his camera was gone. He searched all over his backpack but just couldn’t find it. Suddenly it occurred to me that he might have left it in the taxi. With anxiety and hope, we found out the invoice of the taxi, on which a phone number was printed, so I immediately got in touch with the taxi company. About half an hour later, the driver returned with the camera and you could imagine the wide smile spreading across Tim’s face. Both of us were grateful to the driver, and Tim, in particular, insisted on taking a photo with him.Tim and I enjoyed ourselves during the rest of the day, but it was that taxi driver who made our day.开放作文One possible version:Jim, look at this interesting picture. I think it tries to convey that we need to look at things from different angles.As we can see, the two kids are looking at the same number in the opposite direction and having an argument about whether the number is 6 or 9. They feel confused why the obvious truth seems invisible to the other. Similar arguments happen in our daily life when we observe things from our own points of view, just like the two kids in the picture. However, if we can exchange their angles, we may find the others’ “ridiculous” opinions also make sense.Therefore, let’s learn to handle problems from different perspectives and appreciate others’ points. Do you agree, Jim?可以接受的立意:1.要从不同角度看问题，尊重他人;2. 相信自己，不要人云亦云；3. 做事之前要确定标准；……西城假设你是红星中学高三（1）班的学生李华，最近你校举办了“感动我校的人物”评选活动。

西城一模英语试题解析
北京西城区英语一模试题解析（2013.4）（试卷附后）单选题：DACCB DCCDB BAADB分析：难度不大，语法考察主要集中在：谓语动词的时态语态共有4-5处，非谓语动词2处，状语从句的连词2处，特殊句型2处，定语从句，情态动词，虚拟语气，名词性从句，介词，冠词等各一处。
解析：21.考察状语从句的用法。
连词的选择主要是取决于句子的意思：约翰一向信守诺言，他一旦承诺，就会去遵守。
as good as one’s word信守诺言；make a promise许诺；keep a promise遵守诺言。
22.考察非限制性定语从句的用法。
先行词是New York，从句中又缺少主语，所以选择A.which。
句子大意：戏迷们热爱纽约，它每天上演各种各样的百老汇剧目。
23.考察非谓语动词的用法。
Reaching与field之间是主谓关系，与主句动词动作同时或稍后发生，表伴随。
24.考察谓语动词的时态语态用法。
句子大意：屋子太乱了，正在油漆。
At the moment目前，现在；根据句意，用现在进行时的被动语态。
25.考察谓语动词的时态用法。
有usually 和when从句用的一般现在时，说明主句应该是一般现在时。
句子大意：春天鸡蛋价格通常下跌，正是大量上市的时候。
26.考察谓语动词的时态用法。
句子大意：我昨晚经过你家房子的时候，噪音很大，当时你在做什么呢？根据题意，用过去进行时。
27.考察虚拟语气的用法。
句子大意：----乔治，祝你英语考试好运！----天哪，我真希望我昨晚好好复习它了！与过去事实相反，wish后用had done形式。
28.考察介词用法。
句子大意：---你喜欢格林先生的演讲吗？---是的，简直是妙不可言，我会和同学一块儿再去的。
Beyond description无法用语言描述，好的不得了。
29.考察非谓语动词的用法。
句子大意：据报道，学生们提供的书前几天全都送给农村的孩子们了。
The other day前几天；books 和students之间是被动关系，且已发生，所以用过去分词offered，表被动、完成。
