第Ⅰ卷
第一部分：英语知识运用(共两节，满分 45 分)
第一节：单项填空(共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分)
从 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出适合空白处的最佳选项。
1.To learn English well, we should find opportunities to hear English _____ as much as we can.
A. speak B. speaking C. spoken D. to speak
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：为了学好英语，我们应当找机会多听我们能够所讲的英语。动词hear的宾语是English，宾语与speak之间构成被动关系，故使用过去分词spoken作宾语补足语。故C正确。
2.I wonder if my complaint about the quality of your products ______ tomorrow.
A. is handled B. will be handled C. handles D. will handle
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和语态。句意：我想知道明天我对你们产品质量的投诉是否能处理。分析句子可知，此处缺乏谓语动词，handle意为“处理、应付”，my complaint和handle被动关系，应用被动语态（be done）； wonder后面接了一个由if引导的宾语从句，if意为“是否”，从句时间标志为tomorrow，要用一般将来时，所以是一般将来时的被动语态will be handled。故选B项。
3.A ______ identification card is required when you purchase foreign money from Bank of China.
A. beneficial B. perfect C. valid D. flexible
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：从中国银行购买外币时，需要一张有效的身份证证件。A. beneficial受益的；B. perfect完美的；C. valid有效的；D. flexible灵活的。分析语境可知，购买外币时，有效的身份证是需要的。故选C项。

【解析】
【详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：如何合理分配社会财富，已成为大多数社会缩小贫富差距的关键问题。A. distribute 分配；B. associate联系；C. accommodate 容纳；D. contribute贡献。分析语境可知，要缩小社会贫富差距，就是要合理分配社会财富，应用distribute。故选A项。

A. On account of B. In respond to C. In view of D. With regard to
【答案】D
【解析】

6.In the program aiming to help kids with heart disease, ______ is given to those who are the only child in their family.
A. preference B. prejudice C. recognition D. compromise

8.The information on the Internet gets around much more rapidly than in the newspaper.
A. it B. those
C. one D. that
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查代词辨析。句意：网上的信息传播得要比报纸上的信息传播得更快。A.it指代上文出现的同一事物；B. those指代可数名词复数；C. one指代可数名词单数。D. that指代不可数名词或可数名词单数形式，后面要有定语修饰 ，表示特指。本句中that指代不可数名词information后面有介词短语修饰，表示特指。故D正确。
【名师点睛】1)it通常用来指代上文提到过的那个事物，表示特指概念，即指代同一物。
(2)one表示泛指概念，替代可数名词的单数形式。其复数形式ones也表示泛指概念，用来替代可数名词的复数形式。the one(s)也是替代可数名词，但表示特指概念。
(3)that既可以用来指代不可数名词，又可以用来指代可数名词单数形式，表示特指概念，相当于“the＋名词”结构。
(4)those用来指代可数名词复数形式，表示特指概念，相当于“the＋可数名词复数”结构。它是that(指代可数名词单数时)的复数形式。
(5)当that或those在句中指代事物时，它们的后面通常使用一些后置定语，如：
Little joy can equal that of a surprising ending when you read stories.(that指代不可数名词joy)
特别提醒：(1)that只能代替事物不能代替人(定语从句除外)，one既可代替事物也可代替人。
(2)“物主代词＋own”之后不能加one。
(3)一般可以用this one，that one，较少用these ones和those ones。当ones前有形容词修饰时则可以用these和those。
9.— How was your evening?
— We went to a Pizza Hut and had ______. We really enjoyed ourselves.
A. a white elephant B. a square meal C. a sacred cow D. the salt of the earth
【答案】B
【解析】

10.— What has made him upset recently?
— ______ alone to face those difficulties.
A. Left B. Being left C. Having left D. To leave
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查动名词。句意：——什么使他最近不安？——被单独留下面对那些困难。分析句子可知，因为选项是对what…?进行回答，所以回答的是主语的内容，用动名词做主语，he和left是被动关系，所以用动名词的被动形式Being left。故选B项。
11.With proper measures, the economy in China is beginning to _____ again.
A. rise up B. hold on C. pick up D. take on
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语词义辨析。句意：通过适当的措施，中国的经济又开始复苏了。A. rise up上升;B. hold on等一等；C. pick up恢复；D. take on呈现。根据With proper measures可知，pick up“恢复”符合句意。故选C项。

【答案】C
【解析】

14.By the time your habit of managing time is developed, you better decisions about how to spend your time in your future career.
A. will have made B. will be made
C. are to make D. have been making
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态。句意：当你养成管理时间的习惯时，你就会对如何在未来的职业生涯中利用时间做出更好的决定。在by the time引导的从句中，如果从句中的谓语动词为一般现在时/或现在完成时（表示将来），那么主句中的谓语动词常为将来完成时，表示“截止到将来某一时间为止，主句动作将已经完成”。故选A。
【点睛】by the time用法辨析
1、 如果从句中的谓语动词是一般过去时，那么主句中的谓语动词通常用过去完成时，表示“截止到从句动作发生时，主句动作已经完成，即过去的过去”。
2、如果从句中的谓语动词为一般现在时/或现在完成时（表示将来），那么主句中的谓语动词常为将来完成时，表示“截止到将来某一时间为止，主句动作将已经完成”。
3、如果主句动作不强调已经完成，只是说明某个时候的状况，（主句是be的系表形式或者是表示像know, find, believe等表示认知的持续性动词，则往往用一般时态，不用完成时态。）此时主句不用完成时，而应根据实际需要选用适当的时态，此时by the time相当于when。
15.I lied yesterday, ______I should make an apology to you. I’m very sorry.
A. which B. for which C. whom D. for whom
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查非限制性定语从句。句意：我昨天撒谎了，我应该为此向你道歉。对不起。所缺词引导非限制性定语从句，修饰前面整个句子，用关系代词which，make an apology for“因……而道歉”，固定搭配，介词提前，为介词加关系代词的结构。故选B。

B
When John was growing up other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.
These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. ＂Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence(能力) and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society,＂ said George Vaillant, the psychologist(心理学家) who made the discovery. ＂And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.＂
Vaillant’s study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25,31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men’s mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.
The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out.
Working — at any age — is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence — the underpinnings(基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn’t everything. As Tolstoy once said, ＂One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work.＂

Napoleon, as a character in Tolstoy’sWar and Peace, is more than once described as having “fat little hands.’’ Nor does he “sit well or firmly on the horse.’’ He is said to be “undersized.’’ with“short legs’’ and a “round stomach”. The issue here is not the accuracy of Tolstoy’s description--it seems not that far off from historical accounts but his choice of facts：other things that could be said of the man are not said. We are meant to understand the difference of a warring commander in the body of a fat little Frenchman. Tolstoy’s Napoleon could be any man wandering in the streets and putting a little of powdered tobacco up his nose—and that is the point.
It is a way the novelist uses to show the moral nature of a character. And it turns out that, as Tolstoy has it, Napoleon is a crazy man. In a scene in Book Three ofWar and Peace, the wars having reached the critical year of 1812,Napoleon receives a representative from the Tsar(沙皇), who has come with peace terms. Napoleon is very angry：doesn’t he have more army? He, not the Tsar, is the one to make the terms. He will destroy all of Europe if his army is stopped. “That is what you will have gained by engaging me in the war!” he shouts. And then, Tolstoy writes, Napoleon “walked silently several times up and down the room, his fat shoulders moving quickly.’’
Still later, after reviewing his army amid cheering crowds, Napoleon invites the shaken Russian to dinner. “He raised his hand to the Russian’s…face,” Tolstoy writes, and “taking him by the ear pulled it gently….” To have one’s ear pulled by the Emperor was considered the greatest honor and mark of favor at the French court. “Well, well, why don’t you say anything?’’ said he, as if it was ridiculous in his presence to respect any one but himself, Napoleon.
Tolstoy did his research, but the composition is his own.
46. Tolstoy’s description of Napoleon in War and Peaceis _________.
A. far from the historical facts B. based on the Russian history
C. based on his selection of facts D. not related to historical details
47. Napoleon was angry when receiving the Russian representative because _________.
A. he thought he should be the one to make the peace terms
B. the Tsar's peace terms were hard to accept
C. the Russians stopped his military movement
D. he didn’t have any more army to fight with
48. What did Napoleon expect the Russian representative to do?
A. To walk out of the room in anger. B. To show agreement with him.
C. To say something about the Tsar. D. To express his admiration.
49. Tolstoy intended to present Napoleon as a man who is _________.
A. ill-mannered in dealing with foreign guests B. fond of showing off his iron will
C. determined in destroying all of Europe D. crazy for power and respect
50. What does the last sentence of the passage imply?
A. A writer doesn’t have to be faithful to his findings.
B. A writer may write about a hero in his own way.
C. A writer may not be responsible for what he writes.
D. A writer has hardly any freedom to show his feelings.
【答案】46. C 47. C 48. D 49. D 50. A
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了列夫.托尔斯泰笔下拿破仑的形象，告诉我们作家所写的内容可以与研究的内容不一致。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The issue here is not the accuracy of Tolstoy’s description--it seems not that far off from historical accounts but his choice of facts：可知，这里的问题不在于托尔斯泰描述的准确性——它似乎与历史记载相距不远，而在于他对事实的选择。托尔斯泰在《战争与和平》中对拿破仑的描写。基于他对事实的选择。故选C项。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“He will destroy all of Europe if his army is stopped.”可知，如果他的军队被阻止，他会摧毁整个欧洲。拿破仑在接见俄国代表时很生气，因为俄国人阻止了他的军事行动。故选C项。
【48题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段可知，俄罗斯使者带着和平条约到来，使得拿破仑王者尊严受损，因此用餐时，拿破仑想借着“taking him by the ear pulled it gently…”揪着他的耳朵轻轻拉。想给给使者一个下马威。由此判断出拿破仑希望使者向他表达钦佩。故选D项。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“And it turns out that, as Tolstoy has it, Napoleon is a crazy man. Napoleon receives a representative from the Tsar(沙皇), who has come with peace terms. Napoleon is very angry：doesn’t he have more army? He, not the Tsar, is the one to make the terms. He will destroy all of Europe if his army is stopped. “That is what you will have gained by engaging me in the war!” he shouts.”可知，事实证明，正如托尔斯泰所说，拿破仑是个疯子。拿破仑接见了沙皇d的使者，他提出了和平条件。拿破仑很生气：难道他没有更多的军队吗？他，而不是沙皇，是制定条款的人。如果他的军队被阻止，他将毁灭整个欧洲。“这就是你让我参战的好处！”由此判断出，拿破仑是一个好强、对权力和尊严狂热的人。故选D项。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Tolstoy did his research, but the composition is his own.”可知，托尔斯泰做了他的研究，但这篇文章是他自己写的。由此判断出作家所写的内容可以与研究的内容不一致。故选A项。

When Andrea Peterson landed her first teaching job，she faced the daunting task of creating a music program with almost no money for equipment or supplies in a climate where standardbased learning was the focus and music just provided a break for students and teachers.
For her drive and creativity in overcoming those challenges，she’s been named national teacher of the year.
Principal Waynes Kettler said he had worked with many outstanding teachers in his 22 years as an educator，but Peterson is “just that one step above anybody I’ve ever worked with before”．
Kettler and others at Monte Cristo Elementary School talk about the ways she has introduced the learning from other classrooms into her music program and her creativity in working around things such as the lack of money for new music.
When students were reading S．E.Hinton’s novel The Outsiders in their regular classroom，Peterson helped them write a 30minute play with scenes from the book.Then they chose three Broadway tunes that focused on race，equality and social justice，the themes of the book.Peterson composed two other songs by herself after classroom discussions about the play and the book.
The honor means a lot to residents of Granite FallsIt’s inspiring to know that people from small towns can even win national honors.
As national teacher of the year，Peterson will spend the next year outside the classroom，as a national and international spokeswoman for education.
Not surprisingly，she is a big believer in the value of arts education.She said it’s essential for schools to offer classes such as art，music and physical education because for some kids one of those subjects is the only thing that motivates them to come back to school day after day.
51. The underlined word “daunting” in Paragraph 1 most probably means________.
A discouraging B. interesting
C. creative D. unbearable
52. What is the most important reason that Peterson won the award?
A. She concerned herself with current social problems.
B. She motivated students to learn music with her creativity.
C. She has taught music at the elementary school for 22 years.
D. She made great efforts to arouse students’ interest in literature.
53. Which of the following is an example of Peterson’s way of teaching music?
A. She wrote plays on themes of race，equality and social justice.
B. She made use of the contents of other classes in her teaching.
C. She organized classroom discussions of Broadway tunes.
D. She helped students compose songs by themselves.
54. In Peterson’s opinion，________.
A. art，music and PE classes are all important
B. more subjects should be offered to students
C. students should be motivated to attend art classes
D. arts education is more important than other subjects
55. It can be inferred from the text that________.
A. Peterson’s honor was a surprise for the local people
B. Peterson’s art classes attracted students back to school
C. Peterson aroused the local residents’ passion for music
D. Peterson will change her profession next year
【答案】51. A 52. B 53. B 54. A 55. A
【解析】
本文属于人物传记类文章。文章介绍了Andrea Peterson的生平及她对推动音乐教学的巨大贡献及克服困难的创造力。
【51题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第一段“...creating a music program with almost no money for equipment or supplies in a climate where standardbased learning was the focus and music just provided a break for students and teachers.”可知这个任务，没有钱买乐器，而且音乐课也不受重视，因此可知这个任务令人气馁，故选A。
52题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“For her drive and creativity in overcoming those challenges，she’s been named national teacher of the year.”可知她被授予国家年度教师的原因是她推动音乐教学和克服困难的创造力，故选B。
【53题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Kettler and others at Monte Cristo Elementary School talk about the ways she has introduced the learning from other classrooms into her music program...”可知Peterson老师可以利用其他科的内容来进行音乐教学，故选B。

第Ⅱ卷
第三部分：写作
第一节：阅读表达 (共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分)
阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
Papa, as a son of a dirt-poor farmer, left school early and went to work in a factory, for education was for the rich then. So, he was determined that none of his children would be denied (拒绝) an education.
Thus, Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day. And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned. We would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant, it was never taken lightly. Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment, always to the point.
Then came the moment—the time to share the day’s new learning.
Papa, at the head of the table, would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine, ready to listen. “Felice,” he’d say, “tell me what you learned today.”
“I learned that the population of Nepal is ....” Silence.
Papa was thinking about what was said, as if the salvation (拯救) of the world would depend upon it.
“The population of Nepal. Hmm. Well….” he’d say. “Get the map; let’s see where Nepal is.” And the whole family went on a search for Nepal.
This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts.
As children, we thought very little about these educational wonders. Our family, however, was growing together, sharing experiences and participating in one another’s education. And by looking at us, listening to us, respecting our input, affirming (肯定) our value, giving us a sense of dignity, Papa was unquestionably our most influential teacher.
Later during my training as a future teacher, I studied with some of the most famous educators. They were imparting (传授) what Papa had known all along—the value of continual learning. His technique has served me well all my life.
56. What did the author’s father think of his children’s education? (no more than 10 words)
57. What does the underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refer to? (no more than 2 words)
58. What did the author and his papa talk about at dinner time? (no more than 15 words)
59. What has served the author well all his life? (no more than 8 words)
60. What do you think of the author’s father? (no more than 15 words)
【答案】56. Papa would let all his children get an education.
57. The news.
58. The author talked with his papa about what he had learnt in a day.
59. The value of continual learning.
60. The author’s father was a good parent insistent on his children’s education.
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了家境贫寒的父亲，人穷志不穷，因此很重视让孩子接受教育，并利用家庭这一平台让孩子学到很多东西，让他们终身受益。
【56题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段最后一句“So, he was determined that none of his children would be denied (拒绝) an education.”可知，所以，他下定决心，他的孩子们不会被剥夺受教育的权利，所以父亲会让他所有的孩子接受教育。故答案为Papa would let all his children get an education.
【57题详解】
指代猜测题。it语法用途之一，就是指代上文已提及过的事情。由第二段中的句子“We would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant, it was never taken lightly.”可知，我们会谈论当天的新闻，不管多么微不足道，都不会对它掉以轻心，所以it在此指代的是上文中的the news。故答案为The news.
【58题详解】
细节理解题。由第四段中的句子“tell me what you learned today.”告诉我你今天学了什么、后面有关当日所学尼泊尔知识的探讨和倒数第三段中的句子“Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts.”在我们清楚地了解了至少一半这样的事实之后，晚餐才结束。可知，晚餐时间作者和父亲会谈论当天所学知识。故答案为The author talked with his papa about what he had learnt in a day.
【59题详解】
细节理解题。由最后一段中的“They were imparting (传授) what Papa had known all along—the value of continual learning. His technique has served me well all my life.”可知，爸爸一直传授的the value of continual learning（持续学习的价值），这项技能使作者终生受益，所以是the value of continual learning。故答案为The value of continual learning.
【60题详解】
推理判断题。由由第一段最后一句“So, he was determined that none of his children would be denied (拒绝) an education.”所以，他下定决心，他的孩子们不会被剥夺受教育的权利。和最后一段中的“They were imparting (传授) what Papa had known all along—the value of continual learning. His technique has served me well all my life.”他们在传授爸爸一直都知道的东西——不断学习的价值。他的技巧使我受益终生。由此判断出，作者的爸爸是一位坚持孩子教育的好家长。故答案为The author’s father was a good parent insistent on his children’s education.
【点睛】词义猜测是应用英语的重要能力，也是高考中必考的题型。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。做这种类型的技巧之一：要根据词、词组、句子所在的语境上下文来判断其意义，即有时短文中出现一个需要猜测其意义的词或短语，上文或下文接着出现其定义或解释，这就是判断该词或短语意义的主要依据。命题者在出这类题时惯用常规词义来麻痹考生，我们要特别注意熟词生义，切不可脱离语境主观臆断。如在第2小题中，猜测it的指代意义，由第二段中的句子“We would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant, it was never taken lightly.”可知，我们会谈论当天的新闻，不管多么微不足道，都不会对它掉以轻心，因为it指代上文已提及过的事情，所以it在此指代的是上文中的the news。故答案为“The news.”。

第Ⅰ卷
第一部分：英语知识运用(共两节，满分 45 分)
第一节：单项填空(共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分)
从 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出适合空白处的最佳选项。
1.To learn English well, we should find opportunities to hear English _____ as much as we can.
A. speak B. speaking C. spoken D. to speak
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：为了学好英语，我们应当找机会多听我们能够所讲的英语。动词hear的宾语是English，宾语与speak之间构成被动关系，故使用过去分词spoken作宾语补足语。故C正确。

A. is handled B. will be handled C. handles D. will handle
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和语态。句意：我想知道明天我对你们产品质量的投诉是否能处理。分析句子可知，此处缺乏谓语动词，handle意为“处理、应付”，my complaint和handle被动关系，应用被动语态（be done）； wonder后面接了一个由if引导的宾语从句，if意为“是否”，从句时间标志为tomorrow，要用一般将来时，所以是一般将来时的被动语态will be handled。故选B项。
3.A ______ identification card is required when you purchase foreign money from Bank of China.

A. it B. those
C. one D. that
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查代词辨析。句意：网上的信息传播得要比报纸上的信息传播得更快。A.it指代上文出现的同一事物；B. those指代可数名词复数；C. one指代可数名词单数。D. that指代不可数名词或可数名词单数形式，后面要有定语修饰 ，表示特指。本句中that指代不可数名词information后面有介词短语修饰，表示特指。故D正确。
【名师点睛】1)it通常用来指代上文提到过的那个事物，表示特指概念，即指代同一物。
(2)one表示泛指概念，替代可数名词的单数形式。其复数形式ones也表示泛指概念，用来替代可数名词的复数形式。the one(s)也是替代可数名词，但表示特指概念。
(3)that既可以用来指代不可数名词，又可以用来指代可数名词单数形式，表示特指概念，相当于“the＋名词”结构。
(4)those用来指代可数名词复数形式，表示特指概念，相当于“the＋可数名词复数”结构。它是that(指代可数名词单数时)的复数形式。
(5)当that或those在句中指代事物时，它们的后面通常使用一些后置定语，如：
Little joy can equal that of a surprising ending when you read stories.(that指代不可数名词joy)
特别提醒：(1)that只能代替事物不能代替人(定语从句除外)，one既可代替事物也可代替人。
(2)“物主代词＋own”之后不能加one。
(3)一般可以用this one，that one，较少用these ones和those ones。当ones前有形容词修饰时则可以用these和those。

【点睛】by the time用法辨析
1、 如果从句中的谓语动词是一般过去时，那么主句中的谓语动词通常用过去完成时，表示“截止到从句动作发生时，主句动作已经完成，即过去的过去”。
2、如果从句中的谓语动词为一般现在时/或现在完成时（表示将来），那么主句中的谓语动词常为将来完成时，表示“截止到将来某一时间为止，主句动作将已经完成”。
3、如果主句动作不强调已经完成，只是说明某个时候的状况，（主句是be的系表形式或者是表示像know, find, believe等表示认知的持续性动词，则往往用一般时态，不用完成时态。）此时主句不用完成时，而应根据实际需要选用适当的时态，此时by the time相当于when。

When John was growing up other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.
These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. ＂Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence(能力) and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society,＂ said George Vaillant, the psychologist(心理学家) who made the discovery. ＂And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.＂
Vaillant’s study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25,31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men’s mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.
The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out.
Working — at any age — is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence — the underpinnings(基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn’t everything. As Tolstoy once said, ＂One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work.＂
41. What do we know about John?
A. He enjoyed his career and marriage.
B. He had few childhood playmates.
C. He received little love from his family.
D. He was envied by others in his childhood.
42. Vaillant’s words in Paragraph 2 serve as .
A. a description of personal values and social values
B. an analysis of how work was related to competence
C. an example for parents’ expectations of their children
D. an explanation why some boys grew into happy men
43. Vaillant’s team obtained their findings by .
A. recording the boys’ effort in school
B. evaluating the men’s mental health
C. comparing different sets of scores
D. measuring the men’s problem solving ability
44. What does the underlined word ＂sharp＂ probably mean in Paragraph 4?
A. Quick to react. B. Having a thin edge.
C. Clear and definite. D. Sudden and rapid.
45. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Competent adults know more about love than work.
B. Emotional health is essential to a wonderful adult life.
C. Love brings more joy to people than work does.
D. Independence is the key to one’s success.
【答案】41. A 42. D 43. C 44. C 45. B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章通过John的例子结合一个研究发现说明童年时期帮助做一些家务的孩子长大后会更快乐，更成功。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的句子He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier.，可知，他的工作满意度更高，婚姻更美满，身体也更健康。所以John对他的事业和婚姻很满意。故选A。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的句子Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society可知，在家庭或社区工作的男孩获得足以过温饱生活的收入，并开始觉得自己是有价值的社会成员。由此判断出第二段Vaillant的话是解释为什么一些男孩成长为快乐的人。故选D。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的句子The researchers compared the men’s mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores，可知，Vaillant的团队获得他们的发现是通过对比不同的得分。故选C。
【44题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段的Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid.可知，那些在男孩时期参加过最多活动的人，与各种各样的人保持亲密关系的可能性是其他人的两倍，获得高薪的可能性是其他人的五倍。所以这些人在孩子的时候做的事情和他们成人后是怎样的人之间的关联是确定），所以通过上下文的语境可以判断出，这里sharp的意思是明确的，一定的。故选C。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的句子One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how too love, to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work，可知，如果一个人懂得如何工作，懂得如何去爱，懂得为所爱的人工作，懂得爱自己的工作，那么他就能在这个世界上活得很精彩。由此判断出情感健康对精彩的成年人的生活至关重要。故选B。

Napoleon, as a character in Tolstoy’sWar and Peace, is more than once described as having “fat little hands.’’ Nor does he “sit well or firmly on the horse.’’ He is said to be “undersized.’’ with“short legs’’ and a “round stomach”. The issue here is not the accuracy of Tolstoy’s description--it seems not that far off from historical accounts but his choice of facts：other things that could be said of the man are not said. We are meant to understand the difference of a warring commander in the body of a fat little Frenchman. Tolstoy’s Napoleon could be any man wandering in the streets and putting a little of powdered tobacco up his nose—and that is the point.
It is a way the novelist uses to show the moral nature of a character. And it turns out that, as Tolstoy has it, Napoleon is a crazy man. In a scene in Book Three ofWar and Peace, the wars having reached the critical year of 1812,Napoleon receives a representative from the Tsar(沙皇), who has come with peace terms. Napoleon is very angry：doesn’t he have more army? He, not the Tsar, is the one to make the terms. He will destroy all of Europe if his army is stopped. “That is what you will have gained by engaging me in the war!” he shouts. And then, Tolstoy writes, Napoleon “walked silently several times up and down the room, his fat shoulders moving quickly.’’
Still later, after reviewing his army amid cheering crowds, Napoleon invites the shaken Russian to dinner. “He raised his hand to the Russian’s…face,” Tolstoy writes, and “taking him by the ear pulled it gently….” To have one’s ear pulled by the Emperor was considered the greatest honor and mark of favor at the French court. “Well, well, why don’t you say anything?’’ said he, as if it was ridiculous in his presence to respect any one but himself, Napoleon.
Tolstoy did his research, but the composition is his own.
46. Tolstoy’s description of Napoleon in War and Peaceis _________.
A. far from the historical facts B. based on the Russian history
C. based on his selection of facts D. not related to historical details
47. Napoleon was angry when receiving the Russian representative because _________.
A. he thought he should be the one to make the peace terms
B. the Tsar's peace terms were hard to accept
C. the Russians stopped his military movement
D. he didn’t have any more army to fight with
48. What did Napoleon expect the Russian representative to do?
A. To walk out of the room in anger. B. To show agreement with him.
C. To say something about the Tsar. D. To express his admiration.
49. Tolstoy intended to present Napoleon as a man who is _________.
A. ill-mannered in dealing with foreign guests B. fond of showing off his iron will
C. determined in destroying all of Europe D. crazy for power and respect
50. What does the last sentence of the passage imply?
A. A writer doesn’t have to be faithful to his findings.
B. A writer may write about a hero in his own way.
C. A writer may not be responsible for what he writes.
D. A writer has hardly any freedom to show his feelings.
【答案】46. C 47. C 48. D 49. D 50. A
【解析】

He will destroy all of Europe if his army is stopped. “That is what you will have gained by engaging me in the war!” he shouts.”可知，事实证明，正如托尔斯泰所说，拿破仑是个疯子。拿破仑接见了沙皇d的使者，他提出了和平条件。拿破仑很生气：难道他没有更多的军队吗？他，而不是沙皇，是制定条款的人。如果他的军队被阻止，他将毁灭整个欧洲。“这就是你让我参战的好处！”由此判断出，拿破仑是一个好强、对权力和尊严狂热的人。故选D项。

When Andrea Peterson landed her first teaching job，she faced the daunting task of creating a music program with almost no money for equipment or supplies in a climate where standardbased learning was the focus and music just provided a break for students and teachers.
For her drive and creativity in overcoming those challenges，she’s been named national teacher of the year.
Principal Waynes Kettler said he had worked with many outstanding teachers in his 22 years as an educator，but Peterson is “just that one step above anybody I’ve ever worked with before”．
Kettler and others at Monte Cristo Elementary School talk about the ways she has introduced the learning from other classrooms into her music program and her creativity in working around things such as the lack of money for new music.
When students were reading S．E.Hinton’s novel The Outsiders in their regular classroom，Peterson helped them write a 30minute play with scenes from the book.Then they chose three Broadway tunes that focused on race，equality and social justice，the themes of the book.Peterson composed two other songs by herself after classroom discussions about the play and the book.
The honor means a lot to residents of Granite FallsIt’s inspiring to know that people from small towns can even win national honors.
As national teacher of the year，Peterson will spend the next year outside the classroom，as a national and international spokeswoman for education.
Not surprisingly，she is a big believer in the value of arts education.She said it’s essential for schools to offer classes such as art，music and physical education because for some kids one of those subjects is the only thing that motivates them to come back to school day after day.
51. The underlined word “daunting” in Paragraph 1 most probably means________.
A discouraging B. interesting
C. creative D. unbearable
52. What is the most important reason that Peterson won the award?

54. In Peterson’s opinion，________.
A. art，music and PE classes are all important
B. more subjects should be offered to students

第Ⅱ卷
第三部分：写作
第一节：阅读表达 (共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分)
阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
Papa, as a son of a dirt-poor farmer, left school early and went to work in a factory, for education was for the rich then. So, he was determined that none of his children would be denied (拒绝) an education.
Thus, Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day. And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned. We would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant, it was never taken lightly. Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment, always to the point.
Then came the moment—the time to share the day’s new learning.
Papa, at the head of the table, would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine, ready to listen. “Felice,” he’d say, “tell me what you learned today.”
“I learned that the population of Nepal is ....” Silence.
Papa was thinking about what was said, as if the salvation (拯救) of the world would depend upon it.
“The population of Nepal. Hmm. Well….” he’d say. “Get the map; let’s see where Nepal is.” And the whole family went on a search for Nepal.
This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts.
As children, we thought very little about these educational wonders. Our family, however, was growing together, sharing experiences and participating in one another’s education. And by looking at us, listening to us, respecting our input, affirming (肯定) our value, giving us a sense of dignity, Papa was unquestionably our most influential teacher.
Later during my training as a future teacher, I studied with some of the most famous educators. They were imparting (传授) what Papa had known all along—the value of continual learning. His technique has served me well all my life.
56. What did the author’s father think of his children’s education? (no more than 10 words)
57. What does the underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refer to? (no more than 2 words)
58. What did the author and his papa talk about at dinner time? (no more than 15 words)
59. What has served the author well all his life? (no more than 8 words)
60. What do you think of the author’s father? (no more than 15 words)
【答案】56. Papa would let all his children get an education.
57. The news.
58. The author talked with his papa about what he had learnt in a day.
59. The value of continual learning.
60. The author’s father was a good parent insistent on his children’s education.
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了家境贫寒的父亲，人穷志不穷，因此很重视让孩子接受教育，并利用家庭这一平台让孩子学到很多东西，让他们终身受益。
【56题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段最后一句“So, he was determined that none of his children would be denied (拒绝) an education.”可知，所以，他下定决心，他的孩子们不会被剥夺受教育的权利，所以父亲会让他所有的孩子接受教育。故答案为Papa would let all his children get an education.
【57题详解】
指代猜测题。it语法用途之一，就是指代上文已提及过的事情。由第二段中的句子“We would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant, it was never taken lightly.”可知，我们会谈论当天的新闻，不管多么微不足道，都不会对它掉以轻心，所以it在此指代的是上文中的the news。故答案为The news.
【58题详解】
细节理解题。由第四段中的句子“tell me what you learned today.”告诉我你今天学了什么、后面有关当日所学尼泊尔知识的探讨和倒数第三段中的句子“Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts.”在我们清楚地了解了至少一半这样的事实之后，晚餐才结束。可知，晚餐时间作者和父亲会谈论当天所学知识。故答案为The author talked with his papa about what he had learnt in a day.
【59题详解】
细节理解题。由最后一段中的“They were imparting (传授) what Papa had known all along—the value of continual learning. His technique has served me well all my life.”可知，爸爸一直传授的the value of continual learning（持续学习的价值），这项技能使作者终生受益，所以是the value of continual learning。故答案为The value of continual learning.
【60题详解】
推理判断题。由由第一段最后一句“So, he was determined that none of his children would be denied (拒绝) an education.”所以，他下定决心，他的孩子们不会被剥夺受教育的权利。和最后一段中的“They were imparting (传授) what Papa had known all along—the value of continual learning. His technique has served me well all my life.”他们在传授爸爸一直都知道的东西——不断学习的价值。他的技巧使我受益终生。由此判断出，作者的爸爸是一位坚持孩子教育的好家长。故答案为The author’s father was a good parent insistent on his children’s education.
【点睛】词义猜测是应用英语的重要能力，也是高考中必考的题型。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。做这种类型的技巧之一：要根据词、词组、句子所在的语境上下文来判断其意义，即有时短文中出现一个需要猜测其意义的词或短语，上文或下文接着出现其定义或解释，这就是判断该词或短语意义的主要依据。命题者在出这类题时惯用常规词义来麻痹考生，我们要特别注意熟词生义，切不可脱离语境主观臆断。如在第2小题中，猜测it的指代意义，由第二段中的句子“We would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant, it was never taken lightly.”可知，我们会谈论当天的新闻，不管多么微不足道，都不会对它掉以轻心，因为it指代上文已提及过的事情，所以it在此指代的是上文中的the news。故答案为“The news.”。
