The morning had been a disaster.My tooth was aching,and I’d been in an argument with a friend.Her words still hurt:“The trouble with you is that you won’t put yourself in my place.Can’t you see things from my point of view?”I shook my head stubbornly—and felt the ache in my tooth.I’d thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday,but the pain was really unbearable.I started calling the dentists in the phone book,but no one could see me immediately.Finally,at about lunchtime,I got lucky.
“If you come by right now,”the receptionist said,“the dentist will fit you in.”
I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car.But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist.What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice?Why wasn’t he as busy as the others?
In the dentist’s office,I sat down and looked around.I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried.The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.
When I told her my fears,she laughed and said,“Don’t worry.The dentist is very good.”
“How long do I have to wait for him?”I asked impatiently.
“Come on,he is coming.Just lie down and relax.And enjoy the artwork,”the assistant said.
“The artwork?”I was puzzled.
The chair went back.Suddenly I smiled.There was a beautiful picture,right where I could enjoy it:on the ceiling.How considerate the dentist was!At that moment,I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.
What a relief!
56.Which of the following best describes the author’s feeling that morning?

A.The dentist’s agreeing to treat her at very short notice.
B.The dentist’s being as busy as the other dentists.
C.The surroundings of the dentist’s office.

58.Why did the author suddenly smile?
A.Because the dentist came at last.
B.Because she saw a picture on the ceiling.
C.Because she could relax in the chair.

Almost every machine with moving parts has wheels,yet no one knows exactly when the first wheel was invented or what it was used for.We do know,however,that they existed over 5,500 years ago in ancient Asia.
The oldest known transport wheel was discovered in 2002 in Slovenia.It is over 5,100 years old.Evidence suggests that wheels for transport didn’t become popular for a while,though.This could be because animals did a perfectly good job of carrying farming tools and humans around.
But it could also be because of a difficult situation.While wheels need to roll on smooth surfaces,roads with smooth surfaces weren’t going to be constructed until there was plenty of demand for them.Eventually,road surfaces did become smoother,but this difficult situation appeared again a few centuries later.There had been no important changes in wheel and vehicle design before the arrival of modern road design.
In the mid-1700s,a Frenchman came up with a new design of road—a base layer(层) of large stones covered with a thin layer of smaller stones.A Scotsman improved on this design in the 1820s and a strong,lasting road surface became a reality.At around the same time,metal hubs(the central part of a wheel)came into being,followed by the Pneumatic tyre(充气轮胎) in 1846.Alloy wheels were invented in 1967,sixty years after the appearance of tarmacked roads(柏油路).As wheel design took off,vehicles got faster and faster.
64.What might explain why transport wheels didn’t become popular for some time?
A.Few knew how to use transport wheels.
B.Humans carried farming tools just as well.
C.Animals were a good means of transport.
D.The existence of transport wheels was not known.
65.What do we know about road design from the passage?
A.It was easier than wheel design.
B.It improved after big changes in vehicle design.
C.It was promoted by fast-moving vehicles.
D.It provided conditions for wheel design to develop.
66.How is the last paragraph mainly developed?
A.By giving examples.
B.By making comparisons.
C.By following time order.
D.By making classifications.
67.What is the passage mainly about?
A.The beginning of road design.
B.The development of transport wheels.
C.The history of public transport.
D.The invention of fast-moving vehicles.

Not all bodies of water are so evidently alive as the Atlantic Ocean,an S-shaped body of water covering 33 million square miles.The Atlantic has,in a sense,replaced the Mediterranean as the inland sea of Western civilization.Unlike real inland seas,which seem strangely still,the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness.It is perhaps not surprising that its vitality has been much written about by ancient poets.
“Storm at Sea”,a short poem written around 700,is generally regarded as one of mankind’s earliest artistic representations of the Atlantic.
When the wind is from the west
All the waves that cannot rest
To the east must thunder on
Where the bright tree of the sun
Is rooted in the ocean’s breast.
As the poem suggests,the Atlantic is never dead and dull.It is an ocean that moves,impressively and endlessly.It makes all kinds of noise—it is forever thundering,boiling,crashing,and whistling.
It is easy to imagine the Atlantic trying to draw breath—perhaps not so noticeably out in mid-ocean,but where it meets land,its waters bathing up and down a sandy beach.It mimics(模仿) nearly perfectly the steady breathing of a living creature.It is filled with symbiotic existences,too:unimaginable quantities of creatures,little and large alike,mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony,giving to the waters a feeling of heartbeat,a kind of sub-ocean vitality.And it has a psychology.It has personalities:sometimes peaceful and pleasant,on rare occasions rough and wild;always it is strong and striking.
68.Unlike real inland seas,the Atlantic Ocean is 　　　. 
A.always energetic B.lacking in liveliness
C.shaped like a square D.favored by ancient poets
69.What is the purpose of using the poem“Storm at Sea”in the passage?
A.To describe the movement of the waves.
B.To show the strength of the storm.
C.To represent the power of the ocean.
D.To prove the vastness of the sea.
70.What does the underlined word “symbiotic” mean?
A.Living together. B.Growing fast.
C.Moving harmoniously. D.Breathing peacefully.
71.In the last paragraph,the Atlantic is compared to 　　　. 
A.a beautiful and poetic place
B.a flesh and blood person
C.a wonderful world
D.a lovely animal

It is widely known that any English conversation begins with The Weather.Such a fixation with the weather finds expression in Dr.Johnson’s famous comment that “When two English meet,their first talk is of weather.”Though Johnson’s observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago,most commentators fail to come up with a convincing explanation for this English weather-speak.
Bill Bryson,for example,concludes that,as the English weather is not at all exciting,the obsession with it can hardly be understood.He argues that “To an outsider,the most striking thing about the English weather is that there is not very much of it.”Simply,the reason is that the unusual and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the British Isles.
Jeremy Paxman,however,disagrees with Bryson,arguing that the English weather is by nature attractive.Bryson is wrong,he says,because the English preference for the weather has nothing to do with the natural phenomena.“The interest is less in the phenomena themselves,but in uncertainty.”According to him,the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain and it attracts the English as well as the outsider.
Bryson and Paxman stand for common misconceptions about the weather-speak among the English.Both commentators,somehow,are missing the point.The English weather conversation is not really about the weather at all.English weather-speak is a system of signs,which is developed to help the speakers overcome the natural reserve and actually talk to each other.Everyone knows conversations starting with weather-speak are not requests for weather data.Rather,they are routine greetings,conversation starters or the blank“fillers”.In other words,English weather-speak is a means of social bonding.
72.The author mentions Dr.Johnson’s comment to show that 　　　. 
A.most commentators agree with Dr.Johnson
B.Dr.Johnson is famous for his weather observation
C.the comment was accurate two hundred years ago
D.English conversations usually start with the weather
73.What does the underlined word“obsession”most probably refer to?
A.A social trend.
B.An emotional state.
C.A historical concept.
D.An unknown phenomenon.
74.According to the passage,Jeremy Paxman believes that 　　　. 
A.Bill Bryson has little knowledge of the weather
B.there is nothing special about the English weather
C.the English weather attracts people to the British Isles
D.English people talk about the weather for its uncertainty
75.What is the author’s main purpose of writing the passage?
A.To explain what English weather-speak is about.
B.To analyse misconceptions about the English weather.
C.To find fault with both Bill Bryson and Jeremy Paxman.
D.To convince people that the English weaather is changeable.

2013重庆卷解析
1.B　2.C　3.B　4.A　5.C　6.B　7.A　8.C　9.A　10.A　11.B　12.A　13.C　14.C　15.B　16.B　17.A
18.37/thirty-seven/Thirty-seven　19.geography/Geography　20.driver/Driver/taxi-driver/Taxi-driver
21.B　考查时态。根据felt和got可知,该题陈述过去的事情,所以应选B项的一般过去时。句意:我到家时感到很累,就直接上床睡觉了。
22.A　考查交际用语。根据I don’t drink判断应选A项,礼貌地回绝。句意:——你要杯酒吗?——不了,谢谢。我不喝酒。
23.C　考查连词。for表示前果后因;or表示选择;but表示转折;so表示前因后果。根据前面的not easy和后面的possible判断前后为转折关系,故选C项。
24.D　考查定语从句。逗号前后都是句子结构,选them不能说明前后句的关系,可排除A项;定语从句中that不能置于介词之后,可排除B项;根据“大多数是家庭成员”判断先行词是people,故排除C项而选D项。
25.C　考查状语从句。once“一旦”;as long as“只要”;unless“除非;如果不”,since“自从,由于”。句意:如果我们没有足够的证据,就不会赢得这场官司。
26.D　考查情态动词。I’m not sure表示“我不确定”,but转折后说要去参加滚石音乐会,由此判断应选might表示“或许;也许”。must“必须”;would“愿意”;should“应该”。
27.B　考查强调句型。该题强调状语with the help of the local guide。句意:这位登山者是在当地向导的帮助下才得救的。
28.C　考查主语从句。分析句子结构可知,was之前为主语部分,主语部分为一个从句,从句中需要主语,所以应选what引导主语从句并在从句中作主语。句意:这部电影中给我印象最深的的事情是父亲对儿子深深的爱。
29.A　考查虚拟语气。we took an umbrella说明了过去事实,结合we would have got wet all over判断应选A项,构成与过去事实相反的虚拟语气,从句用过去完成时。
30.B　考查非谓语动词。两个并列谓语之间应该有并列连词,可排除一般过去时的C项;不定式表示目的或结果,D项不合句意;“我母亲以前常坐在我床边”和“给我讲故事”是同时发生的事情,可排除A项现在分词的完成式;答案为B项,现在分词作伴随状语。
31.A　考查不定代词。“循环利用”和“重新利用”都是保护环境的方式,但不是仅有的两种方式,所以应选another表示“(多者中的)另一种”。one“一个”;the other“另一个”;one another“互相”。
32.C　考查冠词。news后面带有同位语从句说明了具体的内容,所以第一个空应选定冠词特指“那个消息”;operation意为“操作,运转,经营”时是不可数名词,意为“手术,(军事)行动”时是可数名词,可数名词单数使用时通常都要带有冠词,所以第二个空应用不定冠词表示“一次手术”。
33.A　考查时态和语态。open用作及物动词时意为“打开,张开,开设”;也可用作不及物动词意为“开张,开业”;主动形式表示被动意义,所以该题应选主动语态表示“开演”;《仲夏夜之梦》作为一部戏剧,开演的时间是根据安排确定的,再结合后面的一般现在时tours判断,应选一般现在时opens。
34.B　考查非谓语动词。seem后面接不定式形式而不接-ing形式,可排除C、D项;由于“出故障”发生在谓语动词seems之前,所以应用不定式的完成式。
35.D　考查交际用语。Thank you all the same.意为“还是(照常)要谢谢你”,由此判断说话人不需要对方的帮助,因此选D项表示“我没有这(忘了的)东西也行”。

52.C　A项“能力”;B项“关系”;C项“信心”;D项“生意”。目标的实现肯定会有助于一个人的“信心”,所以选C项。
53.B　A项“拆毁,拆除”;B项“增强,增进”;C项“拒绝,不理会”;D项“分发,用尽”。该题应选B项,表示“增强”自尊。
54.A　根据下文“要紧的不是锻炼的强度”判断,此处应选A项表示锻炼也不必太“刻苦”或“努力”。

69.C　推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句可知,古代诗人对大西洋的生机活力进行了大量的描写,然后以“海上风暴”为例说明海洋的巨大力量,故选C项。A项“描述海浪的运动”不够全面;B项“展示暴风雨的力量”和D项“证明海洋的广阔”与主题不符。
