They sat in their chairs,staring out of the window.The back door opened heavily.After Mike came Belinda.No apologies,no explanations.“Things will get better,”I told myself,and began the first lesson.Perhaps because I was nervous,I ran through the material more quickly than I should have.“Wait,”interrupted Mike.“I didn’t pay good money to come to a school where the teacher doesn’t explain things clearly.”It was forty-five minutes before class ended,but I couldn’t go any further. In all my years of teaching,I’d never had a class like this.The next day I got to school early as usual.This time the students showed up on time,but half the students didn’t take notes.They acted as if they were sitting there to meet a requirement.Why couldn’t I reach them?“You try picturing them being happy and successful,”my husband advised.The next day,I pictured each student listening,taking notes,raising their hands and learning.Then at school, my eyes moved from chair to chair.I thought about how hard they worked during the day,studying late into the night or whenever they had a spare moment.Things started to change.During the break,Mark even volunteered to help me set up my materials.Belinda stayed focused,quietly taking notes.At our last class Mike handed me a thank-you card signed by every student.One comment stood out:“It took me a while,but I found I enjoyed your class.Nothing could take away the joy I got from my experience. Thank you,Belinda.”My eyes were filled with tears.19.How about the students first mentioned in the text?A.They were cool and polite.B.They were all promising.C.They were never late for the class.D.They were almost absent from class.20.What can we learn about the author?A.She wasn’t new to teaching.B.She loved educated students.C.She can’t explain things clearly.D.She was given a warm welcome.21.Why were the author’s eyes full of tears at last?A.She felt heartbroken for her students’failure.B.She couldn’t tear herself away from her students.C.All her efforts to teach her students paid off.D.Everything about the students was unchangable.CTraveling to new destinations can widen our horizons and build up our confidence.But packing up those trips is a different matter altogether.For some,it is a must that they have everything in their bag so they feel at home in any country.For others,traveling light is the key to easy traveling.Those in the former group could be described as the tourist type,while those in the latter group are more of the traveler type.So,as a traveler,how do you pack the right way?Have a travel packing list.You may require special equipment such as a helmet while on an adventure,but that would be useless if you were headed to a beach for a peaceful time with your partner.For a travel junkie(着迷者),the first thing you should do is create a list and have it saved on your computer or your smartphone.As you travel more,you will learn what you actually need and what you can easily leave at home–having a travel checklist is as essential(必不可少的)as having tickets for the plane.Choose the right bag.A big backpack that can contain all the essentials is the perfect fit for a week-long hiking tour.But when you are staying in one place for months at a stretch and plan to do all sorts of adventurous and non-adventurous activities the destination has to offer,it is vital that you have an expandable(可扩张的)bag with lots of space because you will require different things for different activities.Roll your clothes to save space.Ask any travel expert,and they will tell you this:rolling the clothes instead of folding them while packing saves a lot of space and time.This way,you can pack a month’s worth of clothes into a small bag that is easy to travel with.22.In which way is a traveler different from a tourist?A.He pays more attention to travel light.B.He builds up more confidence than a tourist.C.He thinks it a must to have everything ready.D.He prefers to travel at home rather than go abroad.23.What is the first thing to do if you are a travel lover?A.Choosing the right backpack.B.Learning to roll the clothes.C.Buying a set of equipment.D.Making a travel checklist.24.Which can replace the word“vital”underlined in the third paragraph?A.very difficultB.very importantC.quite interestingD.quite troublesome25.Why does the author suggest the clothes be rolled?A.It will make the packing slower.B.It will make the packing much easier.C.It can save a traveler much more money and time.D.It can save a traveler a lot of space and time.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

On his journey, he will meet adventures that will put his courage to the test.1. Who told a story about an unseen child in a family?A. Terry Jones.B. Kirsty Applebaum.C. Nigel Auchterlounie.D.

Whether we consider changes in grammar, spelling, pronunciation, or the very vocabulary of the language, you have played your part and continue to do so.When we first learned basic grammar and spelling, perhaps in elementary school, we might have gotten the impression that these things were sacred. The rules that apply to such things might have been presented as unchanging and unchangeable. While this way might be helpful for teaching children, it is far from accurate.The English language, like many others, is a living, growing, ever-evolving thing. Like it or not, you are involved in this change. These changes take many forms. Grammar and spelling have changed greatly over the years and centuries, with the spelling differences in different countries today a reflection of this. While the language of a thousand years ago might be called English, most of us would hardly recognize it today as the same language.The first involves changes in the pronunciation of words. Many are familiar with the differences between the British and American ways of pronouncing certain words. In addition to these differences, the pronunciation of many words has changed over the years because of how you have decided to pronounce them. For example, consider the word "err." The traditional pronunciation of this word rhymes with the word "her." Older dictionaries show this to be the primary or only pronunciation. However, in recent years, more and more people have been pronouncing it so that it sounds like "air." Another change in the language involves the addition and removal of words. The makers of dictionaries decide which words deserve to be officially adopted as part of the English language. Through the centuries, many words have come from other languages. In fact, English has probably done this more than any other language in the world, which is why spelling and pronunciation rules for English have so many exceptions.Of course, many slang words have been just short-lived fashions that have died out quickly. Others, though, have been adopted by mainstream society and become respectable, as have many technical terms. So then remember, the next time you repeat the newest expression to hit the street, or make up your own words, you may be contributing to the future of the English language.4. When we begin to learn English, we think _________.A. it is interesting to pick up a new languageB. English rules are wrongly presented in factC. grammar and spelling rules are unchangeableD. only adults have the ability to affect a language5. From paragraph 3 we can know that_________.A. we can change the English languageB. many languages are changing over yearsC. English has changed little in the past 1,000 yearsD. there were main changes in grammar and pronunciation6. Why is the pronunciation of words changing?A. people speak in different waysB. people have adopted foreign wordsC. it has been affected by American EnglishD. makers of dictionaries often change them7. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Foreign words involved in English.B. The British speaks differently from Americans.C. English language is changing over years.D. You can change the English language.CThe relationship between humans and the Amazon Rainforest has not always been a harmonious one. However, recent research suggests that the native peoples ofthe Putumayo region helped to protect the rainforest, leaving it unchanged for 5,000 years. Perhaps humans’ coexisting with nature is possible after all.The study, published in PNAS, looked at soil samples in the Putumayo region of the Amazon in Peru to find how humans influenced the land. The researchers found that the trees still growing in the region today have been growing there for the last 5,000 years — evidence that the area has not been home to cities and farmland in that time. Traces of charcoal(木炭) found in the, soil, however, indicate that people did live there; they just did so in a way that had minimum influence on their environment.To come to these conclusions the team dug a 0.6-0.9 meter deep column into the ground, taking samples of soilfrom different heights along the column. Back in the lab, samples were carbon- dated to determine their age and then sorted under a microscope to look for microscopic mineral particles, known as phytoliths (植硅体). Phytoliths are essential evidence of plants— they remained in the soil thousands of years after the plant died. So researchers can use them to tell which plants have grown in an area in the past.Over 5,000 years’ worth of samples, no species loss was detected. These findings suggest that contrary to common belief, the Amazon is not untouched by humans, but rather has been protected by them for thousands ofyears. The management of the rainforest by native peoples appears to have been vital in preserving its biodiversity and will continue to be important in the fight to prevent it from acollapse.As Nigel Pitman, a co-author on the paper, said: “Since this particular forest is still being protected by native peoples, I hope this study reminds us all how important it is to support their work.”8. How did native peoples deal with the rainforest in the region of Putumayo?A. They always destroyed the rainforest.B. They had a side effect on the rainforest.C. They never lived in the area of the forest.D. They had been in harmony with the forest.9. What did the researchers try to find in the Amazon forest in Peru?A. The diversity of the plants in the rainforest.B. The evidence of human influence on the forest.C. The nutrition of the soil samples in the rainforest.D. The survival age of growing trees in the rainforest.10. What does the underlined word “collapse” mean in Paragraph 4?A. Sudden decrease.B. Bad management.C. Poor preservation.D. Over development.11. What can be inferred from Nigel Pitman's words?A. Native peoples should protectthe rainforest.B. We should help protect the Amazon Rainforest.C. More science research should be done on rainforest.D We should make good use of the Amazon Rainforest.DIt’s a little before8 a.m. when Mathias Schergen pushes open the side door at Chicago’s Jenner Elementary Academy for the Arts. He walks down the hall toward the office to sign in. It’s the same routine he’s had as Jenner’s art teacher for nearly a quarter century. “It’s going to be a good day,” a colleague calls out. “It’s a good day.” They hug. It seems like a typical Friday. Except it’s not. After 23 years at Jenner Elementary, Schergen is retiring. Even on his last day, there are still art projects to finish.Schergen leaves behind a richlegacyat this school. He’s won grants (拨款) for art projects. He turned an empty classroom into a museum. He’s pushed his students to make art about their lives. And he was awarded aGolden Apple — the most honorable teaching award in Chicago. But it wasn’t always easy. For years, Schergen taught in one of the city’s toughest neighborhoods. “When I first got my room, I noticed there were bullet holes in the window. That made me nervous,” he says. So he stuffed Beanie Babies in the holes to make it “look kind of funny”. “I didn’t even tell my wife for a whole year,” he says. “I didn’t want her to know.”With one hour to go, Schergen piles the chairs and sweeps the floor. He cleans out the sink for the last time. Fifth-grader Deontae Barnes, one of his best helpers, has watched him say goodbye all day. He wanders in the doorway. “Ah, come here, son,” Schergen says, signaling him over. He bends down for a hug. “Thank you for making these last days special and being a help to me.”When Deontae leaves, a reporter asks Schergen: When your kids ask why you’re retiring, what do you tell them? “I just tell them that grown people have dreams too,” he says. “I have other things in my life I have to do. It’s time. It’s just time.”12. Why is it a special Friday for Schergen?A. He was retiring on that day.B. He won an honor for his school.C. He was interviewed by a reporter.D. He received a Golden Apple award.13. What does the underlined word “legacy” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Art projects.B. Great achievements.C. Respect from students.D. Change in teaching.14. What made Schergen nervous when he first got to the school?A. Safety concerns in the school.B. The poorly-equipped classroom.C. Being misunderstood by his family.D. Students’ poor academic performance.15. What is the best title for the text?A.A Typical Day for an Art TeacherB. Time for Art ProjectsC. A Teacher’s Final Day at SchoolD.

The Tiankeng pit is 666 meters deep and is currently the deepest tiankeng in the world. The scenic spot is divided into ten areas including Xiaozhai Tiankeng, Tianjingxia Ground, Labyrinth River, and Longqiao River.

Located in the hinterland of Wuling Mountain. The Fuxi Cave in the scenic spot is about 3,000 meters long, with winding corridors, deep underground rivers, and color1 ful stalactites. The landscape is beautiful.Jinyun Mountain National Nature ReserveJinyun Mountain is located in Beibei District of Chongqing City, about 45 kilometers away from the Central District of Chongqing City. The nine peaks of Jinyun Mountain stand upright and rise from the ground. The ancient trees on the mountain are towering, the green bamboos form the forest, the environment is quiet, and the scenery is beautiful, so it is called "Little Emei".

It was the same when my cousin commented on my new furniture and Japanese, fine-bone-china bowls and asked where I got them. They were from the local op shop but instead I said “from the antique shop”.Many people in my Greek-Cypriot community would look down on me if I said I shopped at the op shop. They may pity me, consider me poor, a failure. Immigrants sacrificed their families and homes for a better life. Buying a house and having enough money to live comfortably, to educate your children and see them also live comfortably, are a big part of the immigrant dream, But has this dream made us materialistic at the cost of our own planet?Our love for purchasing the latest trendy clothes or furniture, then donating them when we are tired of them has become normal. I was once like this. But after watching the documentaryThe True CostI learned donated clothes that don’t get sold are sent to developing nations, many of them ending up in landfills (垃圾填埋地). In addition, your new dress requires electricity and materials to make. But if you buy a second-hand dress, that’s one less dress in a landfill and one less new dress to be made.A friend introduced me to op shopping only a few years ago. My firstitem was a dress she gifted me. It was lovely and I loved it. Nobody could tell it was second-hand. This opened me up to purchasing more second-hand high quality branded clothes. Once I visited a friend and was impressed by how she decorated her apartment. “It’s all second-hand,” she said. I couldn’t believe it. The truth is a lot of things sold at the op shop are in new or almost new condition. That’s when I made the decision to only buy second-hand things.Selling second-hand things isn’t anything new butwhat the planet needs is more buyers. There is so much excess (过量) production in the world. So stop feeling ashamed, and let’s get shopping.4. What kind of feeling is expressed in Paragraph 1?A. Pride.B. Embarrassment.C. Delight.D. Sympathy.5. Whatare many people in the author’s community like?A. They are probably materialistic.B. They care about the environment.C. They think highly of op shopping.D. They look down upon immigrants.6. What was the author encouraged to do after visiting her friend’s apartment?A. Watch the documentaryThe True Cost.B. Donate more to local charities.C. Avoid shopping too much.D. Stop buying new things.7. What’s the purpose of the text?A. To entertain.B. To advertise.C. To persuade.D. To describe.CFrom Mozart to Metallica, tons of people enjoy listening to various types of music while they paint, write, or draw. Most believe that music helps increase creativity, but an international study conducted by English and Swedish researchers is challenging that view. The study results wereechoedby scientists fromLancasterUniversity, and theUniversityofGavle, saying their findings show music actually weakens creativity.To reach their conclusions, researchers had volunteers complete verbal problems designed to inspire creativity while sitting in a quiet room, and then again while music played in the background. They found that background music significantly weakened the volunteers’ ability to complete tasks connected with verbal creativity. The team also tested background noises like those commonly heard in a library, but found that such noises had no influence on subjects’ creativity.The tasks were simple word games. For example, volunteers were given three words, such as dress, rise, and flower. Then, they were asked to find a single word connected with all three that could be combined to form a common phrase or word. The single word, in this case, would be “sun” (sundress, sunrise, sunflower). Volunteers completed the tasks in either a quiet room, or while listening to two different types of music: rock music or light music“We found strong evidence of weakened performance when playing background music in comparison to quiet background conditions,” says co-author D. Neil McLatchie ofLancasterUniversity. He and his colleagues find that music negatively influences the verbal working memory processes of the brain, preventing creativity. Also, asfar as the library background noises having seemingly no effect, the study’s authors believe that was the case because library noises create a “regular state” environment that doesn’t affect concentration.“To conclude, the findings here challenge the popular view that music increases creativity, and instead show that music, whatever type it is, is always a disadvantage for creative performance in problem solving,” the study reads.8. The underlined word in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by ________.A. challengedB. acceptedC. doubtedD. heard9. What were the volunteers asked to do in the study?A. To play music.B. To combine given words.C. To create new words.D. To connect words with music.10. What can we infer from the study?A. Quiet background inspires creativity best.B. Library noise does no harm to creativity.C. Music has a bad effect on language ability.D. Music types matter in creative performance.11. Which is the main idea of the passage?A. Quiet Environments Prevent Concentration.B. Background NoiseAffects Concentration.C. Composing Music Weakens Creativity.D. Listening to Music Reduces Creativity.DRecently, I read about a promotion from a home builder in San Diego where consumers (消费者) could buy a 4,000 square foot house for $1.6 million and get a smaller home bythe developer valued at $400 thousand for free. This sounds like a fantastic deal, but I am alwayswary ofany promotion labeled (给……加标签) with“buy one get one free”, and here is why.Oftentimes, “buy one get one free” ends up being “buy two at the regularprice”. For example, I often see “buy one get one free” ads for orange juice at the supermarket, but the first box always costs over $5.00. At the same time, the juices not in the promotion are selling for $2.50 to $2.99 a box.Another problem with “buy one get one free” is that oftentimes you do not need the second item. I only consume one gallon of milk every two weeks. If I were talked into buying a second gallon in a “buy one get one free” promotion, then the second gallon would go bad before I have time to consume it. That creates waste instead of savings.In the case of theSan Diegodeveloper, so far they have received one offer on their expensive houses, but the buyer does not want the cheaper house for free. Instead, he wants the value of the smaller home taken away fromhis purchase price. I think this guy is quite wise because he saw right through the marketing of “buy one get one free”.Finally, it is up to you to see how much you need and how much you are willing to spend. Knowing the regular price of things also helps you in deciding whether a “buy one get one free” promotion is truly a great deal.12. What does the underlined part “wary of” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. annoyed atB. careful aboutC. familiar withD. puzzled about13. Why does the author mention milk in Paragraph 3?A. To show that there are many promotions of food.B.To suggest that people think twice before they shop.C. To prove that the second item isn’t always as good as the first one.D. To show that people often buy more than they need in the promotion.14. What does the house buyer want to do?A. Buy the smaller house only.B. Get the smaller house for free.C. Buy the larger house for $1.2 million.D. Buy both the larger and smaller houses for $2 million.15. How does the author organize the text?(P: Paragraph)A. B. C. D.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

keep doing一直做，the number of …的数量，做主语谓语用单数。
故选C。
考点：考查主谓一致。
【名师点睛】在英文的运用中,“the number of”和“a number of”有混淆的现象；它们后面的动词和名词的数常会有问题.在形式上,“the number of ”和“a number of”相差一点点,一个用定冠词the；另一个用不定冠词 a.可是在语义和用法上,两者的差别就大了.稍微大意,就会犯了谓语动词和真正主语搭配不当的问题.“A number of”的意思是“若干”或“许多”,相当于some 或a lot of,和复数名词连用.当它出现在主语前时,谓语动词和主语搭配.必要时,还可以加上形容词great,large,small,good 等.例如：① A number of highly qualified scholars have worked in Singapore.② A great number of junior college graduates opt for business administration courses.③ There are a large number of teaching posts yet to be filled.④ Only a small number of men want to be language teachers.⑤ A good number of books in the market are examination-oriented.“The number of”和“a number of”一样,跟在后头的名词也是复数的,不同的是这里的主语是单数的the number,不是它后面的复数名词,谓语动词必须和the number 呼应,如：⑥ The number of undergraduates has increased over the years.⑦ The number of new houses is unable to cope with the ever-growing population.⑧ The number of college graduates in a country reflects its cultural standard.这三个句子里的the number 的性质和下列主语一样：⑨ The work of lab technicians is dull but important.⑩ The development of a language centre invariably involves long-term planning,adequate human resources,and up-to-date facilities.11.The organisation of large-scale musical concerts calls for much time and energy.写像上面这样句子的人很多,但是由于真正主语和谓语动词隔得太远,一不小心,就出现了动词和主语不呼应的语法错误,如下：12.The number of foreign workers keep on increasing.13.The number of classrooms,offices,and teaching facilities are far from being sufficient.14.The streaming of students in Singapore and Japan differ.15.The cause of student mobs in some countries are related to governments' dictatorship,corruption and ill-treatment of undergraduates.16.The rapid opening up of China's economy in recent years have prompted our businessmen to venture into the Chinese market.12-16里的谓语动词全部要变成单数才对：keeps; is; differs; is related to; has prompted5. —Our women athletes achieved great success in the Vancouver Winter Olympic Games.—Yes. No one could perform________，I think.A．well B．better C．best D．the best参考答案：B6. Up to now, the poet has written eight poems, three ___ are about American country life.A. of themB. in themC. of whomD. of which参考答案：C7.
