【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：你无法想象我们在暴风雪中步行回家有多么困难。本题考查have difficulty (in) doing sth.短语的变式运用。difficulty在句中充当先行词，其后为定语从句，所以用动名词作宾语。故选D。

12. Nearly all the people ________ believe confidence is the key to success.
A. interviewing B. interviewed C. having interviewed D. to interview
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：几乎被采访的所有人都认为信心是成功的关键。分析句子成分，谓语动词为空后believe，故空处需要用到非谓语的形式，作定语；结合句意，题干并不强调谓语动词和非谓语动词之间的先后关系；主语People与非谓语动词interview构成动宾关系，指“被采访的人”，故需要用过去分词done的形式表示被动关系。故选B项。
13. In china, the number of cities is increasing ________development is recognized across the world.
A. where B. which C. whose D. that
【答案】C
【解析】

When I was a high school student, a close friend went to New Zealand as an exchange student and I was very curious. I wasn’t able to become an exchange student myself, but I began talking to my parents about possibility of becoming a host family to see it. Our school had an active AFS (American Field Service) chapter, so we got information about hosting a student through AFS.
After further exploration, we decided to go for it. We received a student’s brief introduction We looked over the pictures and her family and read the introduction. Her name was Simone and she was three years older than me, one year older than my brother. This was our student!
After informing AFs that we’d accept the student, we had the opportunity to call her on the phone and began writing to her. The accents of the Australian and American English were so different that we had a very hard time communicating. Thankfully, reading and writing each other’s letters was not a problem.
AFS began making the arrangements for Simone to come to America for her year as an exchange student. In August, we picked Simone up at the airport in St. Louis. During the year of Simone’s stay, we had our ups and downs. At first the accents were difficult. The first Sunday she attended church services with us, she didn’t understand anything that was said. Her Australian accent was very thick and she said we spoke too fast for her to follow our words. We, on the other hand, thought she spoke too fast and was difficult to understand. Learning to live with someone new isn’t always easy, but we managed.
Now, 18 years after first welcoming Simone into our family, she is still important to us. We have kept in close contact in the years since she left America. And the experience of being a host family for an exchange student during my high school is unforgettable for me.
41. According to the passage, we learn that the author ________.
A. has a strong desire to know about the exchange student

From the first use of the rocket to carry satellites into space to the setting up of space stations, human beings have been putting great effort into space research. And so far, we have achieved many successes. But there are still numerous tasks in front of us and we should not stop trying to progress.
The international space station is an important step we should take in space exploration. It is not only helpful but also essential. It provides a proper space environment for many experiments that we have wanted to do for a long time. It is also a base for the observations of the earth and the universe. It could also be an important base for later travel to the moon and Mars. In a word, if we want to explore space more, the first thing we should do is to set up a space station.
As the space station costs a lot of money, it is hard for one country alone to establish one. The USA seems to be the only country that has the ability to build a space station alone, and it has tried to do so, but not very successful. So it aggregated many other countries to work on it together. Though it is still extremely expensive, it is much cheaper than doing it alone. It is really a job that needs everyone’s effort and will benefit everyone.
But even so, the funds needed are still a big problem. As for the USA, it seems that it has too many things to spend its money on. Although it is the richest country in the world, it has much debt every year. It has to make arrangements about its finance, and try to find a balance in all these issues.
46. What is the author’s attitude towards building and developing the international space station? ________.
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Critical. D. Negative
47. From Paragraph 2 we learn that ________.
A. the necessity of building the international space station is not realized now
B. many experiments have been done in the international space station
C. the international space station is necessary for people to explore space more
D. people have traveled to Mars from the international space station
48. Which of the following is NOT a reason for countries’ cooperation in building the international space station? ________.
A. That it requires a lot of money.
B. That it needs everyone’ s effort.
C. That it will benefit every participating country.
D. That it is too far away from the earth.
49. The underlined word “aggregated” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by_________.
A. united B. scolded C. allowed D. forbade
50. Which of the following aspects about building the international space station is NOT mentioned in the passage? ________.
A. Difficulties. B. Cooperation.
C. Significance. D. Specific arrangements.
【答案】46. A 47. C 48. D 49. A 50. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要说明了建立国际空间站的重要性及遇到的挑战。
【46题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段前三句“The international space station is an important step we should take in space exploration. It is not only helpful but also essential. It provides a proper space environment for many experiments that we have wanted to do for a long time.”（国际空间站是我们太空探索的重要一步。不仅有助于太空探索，而且是非常重要的，它为许多我们一直以来就渴望做的实验提供了合适的太空环境。）可知，作者肯定了国际空间站的作用，对于国际空间站的发展持支持的态度。故选A项。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“In a word, if we want to explore space more, the first thing we should do is to set up a space station.”（总之，如果我们想更多的探索太空，首要的事情就是建立空间站。）说明建立空间站对于探索太空来说是必要的。故选C项。
【48题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“As the space station costs a lot of money, it is hard for one country alone to establish one. ”（建立空间站耗费巨大，所以任何一个单独的国家都很难完成。）及最后一句“It is really a job that needs everyone’s effort and will benefit everyone.”（这真的需要每个人的努力，也将会使所有人获益。）说明建立空间站投资大，需要合作，最终也会使所有人受益，所以D项“它离地球太远了。”不是各国合作建设国际空间站的理由。故选D项。
【49题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段第二句“The USA seems to be the only country that has the ability to build a space station alone, and it has tried to do so, but not very successful. ”（美国似乎是唯一有能力独立建立空间站的国家，它也尝试这样做了，但并不理想。）可知，美国独立建立空间站的尝试并不特别成功，所以它决定联合其他国家。故“aggregated”是“联合”的意思。故选A项。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段第一句“The international space station is an important step we should take in space exploration.”（国际空间站是我们太空探索的重要一步。）并结合第二段的内容，主要说明了空间站的重要性。第三段第一句“As the space station costs a lot of money, it is hard for one country alone to establish one. ”（建立空间站耗费巨大，所以任何一个单独的国家都很难完成。）说明了建立空间站遇到的困难。第三段第三句“So it aggregated many other countries to work on it together.”（所以它决定联合其他国家一起合作。）说明共同合作建立空间站。所以文章没有提及具体的安排。故选D项。

No student of a foreign language needs to be told that gram mar is complex. By changing the order of the words and by adding a range of auxiliary verbs(助动词)and suffixes(后缀),we can turn a statement into a question, state whether an action has taken place or is soon to take place, and perform many other word tricks to convey different meanings. However, the question which many language experts can’t understand and explain is who created grammar?
Some recent languages evolved due to the Atlantic slave trade. Since the slaves didn’t know each other’s languages, they developed a make-shift language called a pidgin. Pidgins are strings of words copied from the language of the landowners. They have little in the way of grammar, and speakers need to use too many words to make their meaning understood. Interestingly, however, all it takes for a pidgin to become a complex language is for a group of children to be exposed to it at the time when they learn their mother tongue. Slave children didn’t simply copy the strings of words used by their elders. They adapted their words to create an expressive language. In this way complex grammar systems which come from pidgins were invented.
Further evidence can be seen in studying sign languages for the deaf. Sign languages are not simply a group of gestures; they use the same grammatical machinery that is found in spoken languages. The creation of one such language was documented quite recently in Nicaragua. Previously, although deaf children were taught speech and lip reading in the classrooms, in the playgrounds they began to invent their own sign system, using the gestures they used at home, It was basically a pidgin and there was no consistent grammar. However, a new system was born when children who joined the school later developed a quite different sign language. It was based on the signs of the older children, but it was shorter and easier to understand, and it had a largerange of special use of grammar to clarify the meaning. What’s more, they all used the signs in the same way. So the original pidgin was greatly improved.
Most experts believe that many of the languages were pidgins at first. They were initially used in different groups of people without standardization(标准化)and gradually evolved into a widely accepted system. The English past tense—“ed” ending — may have evolved from the verb “do”. “It ended” may once have been “ It end-did”. It seems that children have grammatical machinery in their brains. Their minds can serve to create logical and complex structures, even when there is no grammar present for them to copy.
51. What can be inferred about the slaves’ pidgin language? ________.
A It was difficult to understand.
B. It came from different languages.
C. It was created by the landowners.
D. It contained highly complex grammar.
52. What is the characteristic of the new Nicaraguan sign language? ________.
A. No consistent signs were used for communication.
B. Most of the gestures were made for everyday activities.
C. The hand movements were smoother and more attractive.
D. The meaning was clearer than the previous sign language.
53. Which idea does the author present in the last paragraph? ________.
A. English grammar of past tense system is inaccurate.
B. Children say English past tense differently from adults.
C. The thought that English was once a pidgin is acceptable.
D. Experts have proven that English was created by children.
54. The underlined word “initially” means ________.
A. in the end B. at the beginning C. long ago D. long before
55. What is the best title for the passage? ________.
A. The Creators of Grammar
B. The History of Languages
C. Why Pidgins Came into Being
D. How Grammar Systems Are Used
【答案】51. A 52. D 53. C 54. B 55. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了在语言的发展过程中，到底是谁创造了语法体系还不得而知，并通过列举专家的观点和证据，说明了很多语言的起源。
【51题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“They have little in the way of grammar, and speakers need to use too many words to make their meaning understood. (它们几乎没有语法规则可言，说话者需要使用繁复的单词来让别人理解他们的意思)”可知，奴隶们使用的混杂语表意含糊不清，很难理解。故选A项。
【52题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“It was based on the signs of the older children, but it was shorter and easier to understand, and it had a largerange of special use of grammar to clarify the meaning. (它是基于大孩子的手势，但它更简短，更容易理解，并且有更广泛的特殊语法使用来阐明意思)”可知，新的尼加拉瓜手语比之前的手势语表达意思更精准明确，故选D项。
【53题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Most experts believe that many of the languages were pidgins at first. They were initially used in different groups of people without standardization(标准化)and gradually evolved into a widely accepted system. (大多数专家认为，许多语言最初都是混杂语。它们最初在不同人群中使用，没有标准化，逐渐演变成一个被广泛接受的系统)”以及紧接着所举的英语中的过去式——“ed”结尾——可能是从动词“do”演变而来的这一例子可知，英语曾经是一种混杂语的说法，已被人们广泛接受，故选C项。
【54题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“Most experts believe that many of the languages were pidgins at first. (大多数专家认为，很多语言起初是以混杂语的形式存在)”可知，很多语言最初是以混杂语形式存在的，即：并无标准化规范并且会逐渐演变，划线词含义接近“起初；一开始”之意，故选B项。
【55题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“However, the question which many language experts can’t understand and explain is who created grammar? (然而，许多语言专家不能理解和解释的问题是谁创造了语法?)”可知，这篇文章主要介绍了在语言的发展过程中，到底是谁创造了语法体系还不得而知，故选A项。

【答案】Dear Ms. Li
Learning that you seek to enhance your teaching method so as to improve our English, I am more than grateful and pleased to offer you some information.
First and foremost, I’d like to talk about my view on English learning. As I see it, the core of English learning is based on extensive reading and speaking, by which we can be familiar with scores of English grammar rules and expressions. I am now quite fluent in oral English. However, to my discouragement, I am terrible in working out questions about English passages. Therefore, I hope that you can give a clear analysis of the structures of some English articles. In this way, we will master how to figure out the main idea of an article. In addition, it would be better if you can instruct us to complete English comprehension questions.
Thanks again for your devoted teaching.
Yours,
Li Jin
