【答案】17. A    18. C    19. A    20. B

【解析】

【原文】M: Hi, my name’s Sam Conti and my job is making and selling chocolate. People often ask how I got into this business. Well, my parents wanted me to study medicine or economics at university, but at the time I thought law might open more doors, so that’s what I did. But life doesn’t always work out the way you plan it. After college, I spent one year in South America, where I fell in love with growing cocoa beans. It is not an easy job, because cocoa beans can be easily affected by weather—much more than other fruit like apples or bananas. In fact, the beans are more like grapes, so each year’s crop is of a different quality.

When I came home, I decided to open a small shop making and selling my own chocolate. That was hard work I can tell you, because so much can go wrong with chocolate. The hardest bit is melting it in the right way, but cooling it correctly isn’t easy either. To learn the trade, I set about testing all the chocolate I could find. Another thing I like to do is write up my experiments. I keep a diary for this. It’s the key to my success.

Although English is not as old as Chinese it is spoken by many people around the world every day. English speakers are always creating (创造) new words, and we are often able to know where most words come from.

Sometimes, however, no one may really know where a word comes from. Did you ever think about why hamburgers (汉堡包) are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham (火腿)? About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe. They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They did not speak good English, but they ate good food. When some Americans saw them eating round pieces of beef (牛肉), they asked the Germans what it was. The Germans did not understand the question and answered, “We come from Hamburg.” One of these Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea. He cooked some round pieces of beef like those which the men from Hamburg ate. Then he put each between two pieces of bread and started selling them. Such bread came to be called “hamburgers”. Today “hamburgers” are sold in many countries around the world.

Whether this story is true or not, it certainly is interesting. Knowing why any word has a certain meaning is interesting too. This reason, for most English words, can be found in any large English dictionary.

D. The reason why English is spoken around the world

28. According to the story, the word “hamburger” comes from ______.

A. China because it has a long history

B. England because Germans don’t speak good English

C. the round pieces of beef which those people from Hamburg were eating

D. English speakers because they always create new words

Mass media are tools of communication. They allow us to record and pass information rapidly to a large, scattered audience. They extend our ability to each other by helping us overcome limits caused by time and space. Mass media can be divided into two groups: print media and electronic media. By print media, we mean books, newspapers and magazines. Electronic media include television, radio and movie.

There are a number of ways in which mass media make daily life easier for us. First, they inform and help us keep a watch on our world. They gather and pass on information we would be unlikely or unable to gain on our own.

Second, mass media help us to arrange our time and life. What we talk about and what we think about are greatly influenced by the media. When people get together, they tend to talk about certain happenings on the newspapers or on TV. Because we are provided with differing points of view through different kinds of media every day, we are able to comment on all sides of a certain issue.

Third, mass media help us to connect with various groups in society. Through mass media, we are able to keep in contact with politicians in the world; with famous actors and actresses, and with our beloved singers.

Fourth, the media help to socialize us. We learn about the preferred behavior and values from the people we meet as well as from the media. Through portrayals of people, the media tell us what proper behaviors are. By doing so, they teach us standards of behavior and values, and help us in our daily life.

Fifth, the media are used to persuade people. A good example is advertisements through the media. Newspapers, magazines and TV are filled with all kinds of colorful, persuasive advertisements. Though many advertisements may not say openly that they want you to buy a certain product, they describe their products in such a way that you may want to but them.

Sixth, the media entertain. All of the media make some effort trying to entertain their audience. For example, even though the newspaper is a main medium of information, it also contains entertainment features. Many newspapers offer their readers at least some of the following: comics, fiction books and puzzle games, televisions and magazines are devoted mainly to entertainment. It is guessed that in the future, the entertainment function of mass media will become even more important than it is now.

32. The underlined word “portrayal” in paragraph 5 means ______.

A. photograph B. words

C. clothes D. description

33. According to the passage, which of the following statements isn’t true about mass media?

A. Mass media have an effect on our speech and thoughts.

B. Mass media keep us informed and connected.

C. Mass media persuade us into buying what we don’t need at all.

D. Mass media help us spend time with others in a friendly way.

34. Which of the following isn’t included about mass media in the passage?

A. entertainment B. sports

C. famous people D. advertisements

35. ______ is an old form of mass media now.

A. Radio B. Computer

C. Mobile phone D. Television

【答案】32. D    33. C    34. B    35. A

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。短文介绍了大众媒体给人们带来的好处。

【32题详解】

词句猜测题。根据第五段“the media tell us what proper behaviors are. By doing so, they teach us standards of behavior and values, and help us in our daily life.”（媒体告诉我们什么是正确的行为。通过这样做，他们教导我们行为和价值观的标准，并帮助我们日常生活。）可知，通过对人的描绘，媒体告诉我们什么是正确的行为。故划线词的意思是“描绘”。故选D项。

【33题详解】

细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Newspapers, magazines and TV are filled with all kinds of colorful, persuasive advertisements. Though many advertisements may not say openly that they want you to buy a certain product, they describe their products in such a way that you may want to but them.”（报纸、杂志和电视上充斥着各种丰富多彩、具有说服力的广告。尽管许多广告可能不会公开表示他们想让你购买某种产品，但他们以你可能想要的方式描述他们的产品。）可知，C选项“大众媒体说服我们购买我们根本不需要的东西”错误。故选C项。

【34题详解】

细节理解题。根据第四段“Through mass media, we are able to keep in contact with politicians in the world; with famous actors and actresses, and with our beloved singers.”（通过大众媒体，我们能够与世界上的政治家保持联系；与著名演员和我们喜爱的歌手一起），第六段“Fifth, the media are used to persuade people. A good example is advertisements through the media.”（第五，媒体是用来说服人们的。媒体广告就是一个很好的例子）以及最后一段“Sixth, the media entertain.”（媒体娱乐）可知，运动不是大众媒体涉及的内容。故选B项。

【35题详解】

细节理解题。根据第一段“Electronic media include television, radio and movie.”（电子媒体包括电视、广播和电影）以及选项和常识可知，无线电是是一种古老的大众媒体。故选A项。

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Curling(冰壶)is a winter sport played on ice. Therefore, it’s most popular in northern countries like Canada. Curling is played in the USA by about 15,000 people.___36___Scottish winters were long and there were forms of entertainment. So people began making a sport out of sliding heavy stones on the frozen lakes. The game spread, and in the 1700s curling clubs formed. Then Scottish soldiers brought it to North America.

___37___Men, women, and children often compete on the same team, if they can slide a forty-pound stone down the ice! Both teams slide their stones toward the same goal. After all 16 stones have been cast, the team whose stone has slid closest to the goal gets one point.

___38___The ice is so smooth and the stone is so heavy that even the smallest misjudgment in a throw can make the stone slide much too far or stop too suddenly.___39___Water helps the stone slide, but it can also change the stone’s path.

In curling, a broom is part of each player’s equipment. A good curler must know how much force to use. The player must know the exact conditions of the ice on the court.___40___That may explain why the international Olympic Committee decided to make curling an Olympic sport in 1998.

A. Players compete on the court.

B. Then the play begins in the other direction.

C. Curling is played by teams of four people.

D. In other words, a good curler must be a fine athlete.

E. The rules are easy to learn, but playing the game is hard.

F. The melting of the ice makes things tough for the curlers.

G. Curling probably began in Scotland in the 1500s or earlier.

【答案】36. G    37. C    38. E    39. F    40. D

【解析】

【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项奥林匹克运动项目——冰壶。

36题详解】

根据后文的“Scottish winters were long and there were forms of entertainment. So people began making a sport out of sliding heavy stones on the frozen lakes. The game spread (苏格兰的冬天很长，有各种娱乐形式。因此，人们开始用重石头在结冰的湖面上滑动制作一项运动，这项运动逐渐传播开来)”可推知，此处是概述冰壶的历史渊源，所以G项“冰壶运动可能起源于16世纪或更早的苏格兰”切题。故选 G项。

【37题详解】

根据本段的整体内容可知，本段主要讲的是冰壶的具体游戏规则，所以C项“冰壶比赛由四人组成的队伍进行”切题。故选C项。

【38题详解】

上段讲的是冰壶的游戏规则，根据空后“The ice is so smooth and the stone is so heavy that even the smallest misjudgment in a throw can make the stone slide much too far or stop too suddenly.(冰面很平滑，并且石头很重，所以投球时，最微小的偏差也可以使石头滑出很远或者骤然停止)”可知，本段讲的是冰壶具体操作起来并非易事，所以E项“The rules are easy to learn, but playing the game is hard.（规则很容易学，但从事这项运动却很难。）”承上启下。故选E项。

【39题详解】

根据空格前句可推知，冰壶在实际操作中并非易事，与选项F“对于冰壶球员来说，冰融化会使情况更艰难”呼应，都是讲冰壶操作不易；且F项中的The melting of the ice与空后的Water呼应，所以F项切题。故选F项。

【40题详解】

根据空前一句“A good curler must know how much force to use. The player must know the exact conditions of the ice on the court.(一个好的冰壶球员必须知道用多少力量。运动员必须知道球场上冰面的准确条件)”可知，D项“In other words, a good curler must be a fine athlete.(换句话说，一个好的冰壶球员必须是一个优秀的运动员)”与上文意义一致，且D项中“a good curler”与上文中“A good curler”呼应。故选D项。

【解析】

【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了食物的营养成份和食物对我们身体的作用，给我们的建议是各种食物都应该吃，但不要吃太多。

【56题详解】

考查形容词比较级。句中是Today our knowledge of与that of the old times二者之间的比较，由句中than可知，所填词要用比较级，advanced为多音节的形容词，其比较级要在它前面加more构成，故填more。

【57题详解】

考查名词。所填词在定冠词the后，介词of前，所以要用名词形式，grow的名词形式为growth，故填growth。

【58题详解】

考查非谓语动词。在定语从句中主谓宾结构完整，所填词应该是非谓语动词，非谓语动词表示目的，要用动词不定式，故填to make。

【59题详解】

考查代词。句子主语为we，代词修饰其后的名词bodies，所以要用we的形容词性物主代词，“我们的身体”，故填our。

【60题详解】

考查非谓语动词。Generally speaking一般说来，固定搭配，故填speaking。

【61题详解】

考查时态和主谓一致。句子为一般现在时，句子主语为everything，第三人称单数，谓语动词要用三单形式，故填does。

【62题详解】

考查介词。句中为系表结构，介词短语作表语，in trouble处在困难中，处于不幸中，固定短语，故填in。

【63题详解】

考查副词。句中true为形容词，所填词修饰形容词，可以用副词，要用part的副词形式，故填partly。

【64题详解】

考查名词复数。句中vegetable为可数名词，前面有some修饰，some修饰可数名词，可数名词要用复数形式，故填vegetables。

【65题详解】

考查连词。所填词后省略了谓语，表语从句中前一部分意为：我们应该吃各种各样的食物，后一部分意为：永远不要吃太多。前后为转折关系，要用表示转折关系的连词，故填but。

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

One day, I found a wallet on the street. The wallet contained only three dollars and a very old letter. The envelope was worn and the only thing on it was the return address. I started to open the letter, hoping to find some information. Then I saw the date-1990, and the signature-Beatrice. The letter was written several decades ago.

Then I made every effort and found out that Beatrice was now working in a hospital. I showed her the letter. The second she saw the letter, she took a deep breath and said, “Young man, this letter was the last contact I ever had with Henry. He is my only brother. I loved him very much. I was only 16 at the time and my brother is two years younger than me. If you can find him, tell him I'm still looking for him,” she said and tears began to well up in her eyes. “Mother is waiting for him to come back home.”

When I walked out of the building with the wallet in my hand, the guard of the building recognized the wallet, and with his help, I finally found its owner, Henry. I handed the wallet to Henry and he said, “Yes, that's mine! It must have dropped out of my pocket this afternoon.”

“I read the letter in the hope of finding out who owned the wallet.” I said. The smile on his face suddenly disappeared. He asked, “You read that letter?” “Not only did I read it, but also Beatrice read.” I replied. He suddenly became excited. “Beatrice? You know where she is? How is she? Please tell me,” he begged. “She's fine. She has been looking for you.” I said softly.

He grabbed my hand and said, “Sir, you know she is my only sister in this world. I've always missed her.”

Henry and I took the elevator (电梯) down to Beatrice's room. I walked over to her. “Beatrice,” I said softly, pointing to Henry, who was waiting with me in the doorway. “Do you know the man?”

Paragraph 2：

About three weeks later I got a call at my office from Beatrice．“Can you break away on Sunday to attend a party? Henry and Beatrice are going to have a party in the home! ” It was a beautiful party with all the people dressed up to join in the celebration. If you ever wanted to see a woman and a man acting like two teenagers, you had to see this elder sister and younger brother. It was a perfect ending for a family affection that had lasted nearly several decades.

【解析】
