keep in touch
[解析] 本题为细节题。本题问:全世界数百万的人们使用Facebook做什么?由短文内容“Now over 23 million people around the world use it to keep in touch with friends”可知,人们使用Facebook主要是为了与朋友保持联系。所以本题空格处应填keep in touch。
3. How do people share joys and sorrows on Facebook? They share joys and sorrows by posting ______.
pictures and videos
[解析] 本题为细节题。本题问:在Facebook上人们是怎样分享欢乐和悲伤的?由短文内容“On Facebook,they share joys and sorrows by posting pictures and videos”可知,人们通过发送照片和视频分享欢乐和悲伤。所以本题空格处应填pictures and videos。
4. What is the best part about Facebook? The best part about Facebook is to help ______ old friends.

[解析] 本题为细节题。本题问:Facebook最好的是哪一部分?由短文内容“The best part about Facebook is to help find out old friends”可知,Facebook最好的部分是可以帮助人们找到老朋友。所以本题空格处应填find out。
5. How do people look for old friends on Facebook? For people, the only thing to do is to sign in their ______.

Part Ⅱ Structure Directions: This part is to test your ability to construct grammatically correct sentences. It consists of 2 sections.
Section A Directions. In this section, there are 10 incomplete sentences. You are required to complete each one by deciding on the most appropriate word or words from the 4 choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then you should mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
1. Not only the children but also their mother______ English well though they are Chinese.
A.speak
B.speaks
C.talk
D.says
A B C D
B
[解析] 本句意为:不仅是孩子们,而且他们的母亲都能说一口流利的英语,虽然他们是中国人。本题的考查的是名词的数。根据“就近原则”,谓语动词speak的数应与最近作主语的词语即their mother保持一致,所以应该是单数。说某种语言应该用动词speak,因此本题的正确答案是B)。 [拓展] 就近原则(Principle of Proximity): 这一原则是指,谓语动词的数常常与最靠近的主语的数保持一致。这类句子中常使用的连词有:or,either...or...,neither...nor...,not only...but also...等。如: Either I or they are responsible for the result of the matter.不是我,就是他们要对那件事的结局负责任。 Not only he but also all his family are keen on concerts. 不仅仅是他,而且是他全家人都很热衷于音乐会。 Neither his family nor he knows anything about it. 他全家人和他都不知道那件事。
3. It is important that you ______ for your class any more. Otherwise, the teacher will be very angry.
A.are late
B.to be
C.be late
D.not be late
A B C D
D
[解析] 本句意为:你不能再上课迟到了,否则老师会很生气。 本题考查的是虚拟语气。在It is important that句型中,从句应使用虚拟语气,其构成形式为“should+动词原形”,其中的should通常可以省略。而根据本句的逻辑意义,可判定正确答案是D)。 [拓展] 有一类虚拟语气构成形式为“should+动词原形”,其中的should通常可以省略。此类虚拟语气的基本用法总结如下: 1.表示“坚持”、“命令”、“建议”、“要求”等意义的动词,其后面的宾语从句中要用虚拟语气。这类动词常见的有insist,order,command,advise,suggest,propose,demand,require,request,ask等。如: I insisted that he (should) stay.我坚持要他留下。 2.It is+表示“必要”,“急迫”,“紧要”等意思的形容词+that…结构中,后面从句要使用虚拟语气。这类形容词包括important,impossible,necessary,natural,essential,strange,incredible等。如:It is demanded that everyone(should)arrive there on time. 每个人都要求准时到场。 3.表示“建议”,“命令”,“主张”,“要求”等意义的名词,如suggestion,proposal,idea,plan,order,advice等,其后面的表语从句、同位语从句中要求使用虚拟语气。如: My idea is that we (should) get more people to attend the conference.
4. These magazines ______ to be taken out of the reading room.
A.would not suppose
B.can not suppose
C.do not suppose
D.are not supposed
A B C D
D
[解析] 本句意为:这些杂志不应该被带出阅览室。 本题考查的是be supposed to的用法。动词suppose意为“假定,认为”be supposed to do sth.意为“应该,被期望”,相当于情态动词should,其否定式是be not supposed to。本句中主语magazines与动词suppose之间为被动关系,因此根据句意,本题的正确答案是D)。 [拓展] 相当于情态动词should的用法还有ought to,如: I think you ought to go to see the doctor.我认为你应当去找医生看看病。 If you make a promise you should keep it;you ought not to break a promise. 如果你作出了承诺,你就应该遵守诺言,不应该食言。 As host and president he felt he ought not to have spoken his mind. 作为主人和主席,他觉得他不该把什么东西都说出去。
5. He persisted in carrying on the experiment ______ all kinds of setbacks.
A.as a result of
B.in spite of
C.because of
D.besides
A B C D
B
[解析] 本句意为:尽管遇到很多挫折,他仍坚持做实验。 本题考查的是介词短语的辨析。介词短语as a result of意为“因为,作为……的结果”,后接表示原因的名词短语;besides意为“除……之外”;because of意为“因为”;in spite of意为“尽管,不管,不顾”,具转折之意。根据句意和逻辑关系,选项A)、C)、D)都不符合原文意思,可排除。因此本题的正确答案是B)。 [拓展] 表示原因的介同短语通常在句中作状语,常用的有: 1.because of:表示实际原因,表达一种较强的因果关系。 2.on account of:常用来引述逻辑、理性和事实因素。 3 out of+抽象名词:常用来引述心理、情感因素,如:out of one's own will(出于自愿)。 4.owing/due to:着重把原因归于某事物,既可作状语又可作定语。 5.thanks to:后面通常接表示积极意义的原因,意为“多亏,幸亏由于”,如:Thanks to your help,I finally pass the exam.谢谢你们帮助,我最终通过了考试。
6. It was simply for some special reason ______ I didn't tell you the truth at that time.
A.why
B.which
C.that
D.so
A B C D
C
[解析] 本句意为:就是因为某个特殊原因,我当时没告诉你事实。 本题考查的是强调句式。根据句子结构可见,本句为强调句型,句中的“simply for some special reason”是表示原因的状语,放在It was...that强调句型中做强调成分。需要注意的是:强调句型通常用that来连接(如果被强调的成分是人的词话,也可用who来连接),但不能用why,which,so,when,where,because等代替that。所以本题的正确答案是C)。 [拓展] 强调句型是考试中常见的,学习这一句型时要注意以下几点: 1.It is/was...who/that结构用来突出强调句子的某一成分(一般是句子中主语,宾语或状语)。在这个句型中,it没有词汇意义,只是引出被强调的成分。如果去掉is/was...that,其句子仍然通顺,意思完整。请注意下面两个句子的区别: It was at ten o'clock that he came back. 他是10点钟回来的。 It was ten o'clock when he came back. 他回来时10点钟了。 2.当被强调成分是主语时,who/that之后的谓语动词应该在人称和数上与原句中的主语保持一致。如: It was the students who were lovely. 3.即使被强调成分是句子中的时间状语,地点状语,原因状语等,也不能用because等代替that。如: It was because of the heavy rain that he came late. 由于下着大雨所以他来晚了。
7. I have no objection to ______ the window to get some fresh air.
A.you to open
B.your opening
C.your open
D.you open
A B C D
B
[解析] 本句意为:我不反对你打开窗透透风。 本题考查的是介词to后接动名词的用法。短语have no objection to中的to是介词,后应接名词或动名词作宾语,因此可首先排除选项A)、C)、D)。选项B)中的your opening是动名词opening的所属格形式,在句中符合语法要求。所以本题的正确答案是B)。 [拓展] 在英语中,介词后+动名词的用法很常见: 1.有些动词要求与介词搭配,其结构为动词+介词to+动名词。常见的动词短语有:admit to doing sth.(承认做了某事):object to doing sth. (反对做某事);see to doing sth. (负责做某事);stick to doing sth. (坚持做某事)。 2. 有些动词与介词的搭配结构为:动词+宾语+介词+动名词,常见的有:devote oneself /sth. to doing sth.(把……献给做某事);limit sth. to doing sth. (把……限制在做某事的范围内);give one's life to doing sth. (献身于做某事);give one's mind to doing sth.(专心做某事);have an objection to doing sth.(反对/反感做某事);pay attention to doing sth.(注意做某事);set one's mind to doing sth. (决心做某事)。 3.有些形容词也需要与介词+动名词搭配,其结构为be+形容词+介词to+动名词,如:be used/accustomed to doing sth. (习惯于做某事);be opposed to doing sth. (反对做某事)。 4. 其他结构+介词to+动名词,如:get down to doing sth. (开始做某事,认真处理某事);look forward to doing sth. (盼望做某事)。
8. We can surely overcome these difficulties ______ we are closely united.
A.as long as
B.even if
C.unless
D.in case
A B C D
A
[解析] 本句意为:只要我们紧密团结就能克服困难。本题考查的是连词的辨析。连词even if意为“即便,即使”;in case是“万一”的意思;unless意为“除非”。这几个连词都可引导状语从句,但在本句中都不符合逻辑意义。而as long as as/so long as意为“只要”,引导条件状语从句,并且特别强调条件的重要性,用在本句中符合逻辑。所以本题的正确答案是A)。 [拓展] 引导条件状语从句的连词很多,常见的有以下几个: 1.if(如果,要是):if从句表示在某种条件下某事很可能发生,还可以表示不可实现的条件或根本不可能存在的条件,也就是一种虚拟的条件或假设。 2.unless(除非,若不,如果不……)。如: You will fail to arrive in time unless you start earlier. 除非你早点动身,不然就不能及时赶到了。 3.so/as long as(只要),特别强调条件的重要性。如: You may borrow my book as long as you keep it clean. 只要你保持书的清洁,你就可以把我的书借去。 4.in case(如果,万一,以防)。如: Take your umbrella in case it rains. 带上伞,以防下雨。 In case you need something, please let me know.如果你需要什么东西,请对我说。 5.on condition that...(只有在……条件下,以……为条件)。如: You can pass the custom on condition that we have checked your luggage. 你可以通过海关,但条件是我们得检查完你的行李。 6.provided+ (that)从句(表示一种假设条件)。如: He will sign the contact provided we offer more favorable terms.如果我们提出更优惠的条件,他就会在合同上签字。
9. ______, they went out to the beach last weekends. A. It was hot B. The day was hot C. The day being hotD. It is hot
A B C D
C
[解析] 本句意为:天太热了,他们上周末去了海边。 本题考查的是独立主格结构。根据句子结构可见,本句的后半部分为完整的句子,与前半部分没有连词相连接。由此可以判断:句子的前半部分应是状语,所以可首先排除选项A)、B)和D)。而选项C)“The day being hot”是一个独立主格结构,作句子的原因状语。所以本题的正确答案为C)。 [拓展] 独立主格结构由两部分组成,前一部分是名词或者代词,后一部分是非谓语动词(不定式、动名词或分词)或形容词、副词、介词短语。前后两部分具有逻辑主谓关系。独立主格结构在句中做状语,说明谓语动词发生的时间、原因、条件、目的或伴随情况等,相当于一个状语从句,但与主句之间不能使用任何连接词。独立主格结构常见类型如下: 1.名词(代词)+现在分词(名词或代词与后面的分词是主动关系)。如: The monitor being ill,we'd better put the meeting off. 班长病了,我们最好延期开会吧。 The last bus having gone,we had to walk home.末班车已经开走了,我们只得走路回家。 2.名词(代词)+过去分词(名词或代词与后面的分词是被动关系)。如: The job finished,we went home. 工作结束了,我们就回家了。 3.名词(代词)+不定式(表示将来发生的事情)。如: Nobody to come tomorrow,we will have to put off the meeting till next week.如果明天没有人来,我们只好将把会议推迟到下周。 4.名词(代词)+介词短语/形容词或副词(常表示方式和伴随情况)。如: A girl came in,book in hand.一个少女进来了,手里拿着书。 He sat in the front row,his mouth half open.他坐在前排,嘴半开着。
10. Months ago we sailed ten thousand miles across the open sea, which ______ the Pacific, and we met no storm.
A.was called
B.is called
C.had been called
D.has been called
A B C D
B
[解析] 本句意为:几个月前我们穿越了名叫太平洋的公海,航行了一万英里,未遇到风暴。 本题考查的是时态问题。本句是复合句,其中which引导一个非限定性从句。虽然主句中的动词为过去时态,但由which引导一个非限定性从句中的时态还是应该用一般现在时,因为这个公海叫做太平洋是个不变的客观事实,故仍用一般现在时。所以本题的正确答案为B)。 [拓展] 一般现在时的用法: 1.一般现在时通常用以表示经常发生的动作或存在的状态,具体表示现状、性质、状态,或经常或习惯性的动作,且常与表频率的时间状语连用,如: John sometimes sits up very late. He often goes to cinema on Sunday.他周日常去电影院。 2.表示不受时间限制的客观存在或客观事实,如: Water boils at 100℃. 水在100℃沸腾。
Section B Directions: There are 10 incomplete statements here. You should fill in each blank with the proper form of the word given in brackets. Write the word or words in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.
1. His next (assign) ______ will be to inquire into the cause of the accident.
5. She is by far(active) ______ member in our group.
the most active
[解析] 本句意为:她是我们小组中最活跃的成员。 本题考查的是形容词的最高级。短语by far通常用来修饰比较级,表程度,意为“……得多;最……”。根据句意,本题空格处应填the most active。
6. It's no good (pretend) ______ to know what you don't understand.
pretending
[解析] 本句意为:假装知道你不知道的事情是没什么好处的。 本题考查的是动名词的用法。It s no good/use结构要求接动词的动名词形式,所以本题空格处应填pretending,意为“假装”。
7. He felt a great relief after his mother had her eyes (operate) ______ on.
operated
[解析] 本句意为:在他母亲眼睛做了手术后,他感到放心了。 本题考查的是have sth. done结构。“have+sth.(宾语)+过去分词(宾语补足语)”意为“让/叫/使/请别人做某事”。宾语sth. 后面用过去分词作宾语补足语,说明sth.与过去分词表示的动作之间是被动关系,如: He has had his hair cut. 他(请人给他)理发了。 本题中,“His mother had her eyes operated on. ”意为“他的母亲(让医生)给眼睛做了手术”。所以本题空格处应填operated。
8. Nothing serious. You have only caught a cold. Take this medicine three times a day and drink a lot of (boil) ______ water.
9. I would rather you (not born) ______ in the world.
had not been born
[解析] 本句意为:我宁愿你没有出生在这个世界上。 本题考查的是虚拟语气的用法。would rather后接的宾语从句通常需要用虚拟语气:用一般过去时表示对现在或将来的愿望;用过去完成时表对过去的愿望。如: I'd rather you didn't do it. 我宁愿你现在别这样做。 I'd rather you had not mentioned the price that day.我宁愿你那天没提到过价钱。由于本句中的动词be born in the world是过去的事情,因此空格处应填入had not been born。
10. The girl was forced (marry) ______ the man she didn't love at all.
to marry
[解析] 本句意为:这个姑娘被迫嫁给了她根本不喜欢的男人。 本题考查的是不定式的用法。在被动语态后应接不定式做补语。如: He is asked to tell the truth.
Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.
Task 1 Water problem in the future will become more intense and more complex. Our increasing population will tremendously increase urban wastes, primarily sewage(污水). Rapidly expanding industries which involve more and more complex chemical processes will produce larger volume of liquid wastes, and many of these will contain harmful chemicals. To feed our rapidly expanding population, agriculture will have to be intensified. This will involve ever-increasing quantities of agricultural chemicals. From this, it is apparent that drastic steps must be taken immediately to develop corrective measures for the pollution problem. There are two ways by which this pollution problem can be decreased. The first relates to the treatment of wastes to decrease their pollution hazard. This involves the processing of solid wastes "prior to" disposal and the treatment of liquid wastes, or effluents(废水), to permit the reuse of the water or minimize pollution upon final disposal. A second approach is to develop an economic use for all or a part of the wastes. Effluents from sewage disposal plants are used in some areas both for irrigation (灌溉) and for the nutrients (营养物, 营养品) contained. Effluents from other processing plants may also be used as a supplemental source of water. Many industries, such as meat and poultry processing plants, are currently converting former waste products into marketable byproducts(副产品). Other industries are exploring potential, economic uses for their waste products.
1. The purpose of this passage is ______.
A.to acquaint the reader with water pollution problems
B.to alert the reader the decreasing water supply
C.to explain industrial uses of water
D.to demonstrate various uses of water
A B C D
A
[解析] 本题为主旨题。本题问:这篇文章的目的是什么。从文章的内容我们可以看出,这篇文章主要介绍污水的现状以及治理方法。从前两段的主题句也可读出文章的目的:“Water problem in the future will become more intense and more complex”;“There are two ways by which this pollution problem can be decreased. ”故本题的正确答案为A)。 [避错说明] 选项B)意为“警告读者要缩减水的供应”但原文中没有这个意思;选项C)意为“解释水在工业上的应用”,这个概括太片面;选项D)意为“演示水的不同用法”,但文中只是介绍了污水的使用。可见这些选项所表达的都不是本文的目的。
2. Which of the following points is NOT included in the passage?
A.Expanding industries will produce larger volume of liquid wastes.
B.Water wastes will go up along with the expanding population.
C.Intensive cultivation of land requires more and more chemicals.
D.Industrial development includes the simplification of complex chemical processing.
A B C D
D
[解析] 本题为细节题。本题问:下面哪一点在文中没有包括?根据原文的内容,可判断选项中所表达的内容是否真实。句子“Rapidly expanding industries which involve more and more complex chemical processes will produce larger volume of liquid wasters”刚好与答案D)的论述相反,故本题的正确答案为D)。 [避错说明] 其他选项在文章中的第二段都可以找到。
3. The phrase "prior to" in Paragraph 2 probably mean ______.
Great books at big savings. That's what you get with this big-value introduction to World Books. Choose any four of the introductory books shown here for as little as $25 each, plus a total of $1.95 towards postage and packing and you could save as much as $97 on the publisher's prices.

1. The passage is most probably an advertisement for ______.
A.a publishing company
B.a mail order club
C.a city library
D.a street book store
A B C D
B
[解析] 本题为主旨题。本题问:这篇文章最有可能是给谁做的广告?原文中有种种迹象表明World Book是一个邮购书的俱乐部。如:第一段提到了“…plus a total of $1. 95 towards postage and packing...”,我们知道postage(邮资)和packing(包装)都是邮寄物品时才用到的词。从第二段第二句话“With World Books you'll go on saving as a member”也可以看出来,你要作为会员才能享受优惠。可知,本题的正确答案为B)。 [避错说明] 从第一段的最后一句“you could save as much as $97 0n the publisher's prices”,说明广告者不是出版公司(a publishing company);城市图书馆通常是不出售书的;街边书店通常也不邮购,所以选项A)、C)、D)都不正确。
2. One of the many features of World Books is that ______.
A.discounts are often 80 per cent
B.one can get the benefits even if he doesn't belong to the club
C.you have chances to earn more money if you are a member of the club
D.a member can get a free magazine
A B C D
D
[解析] 本题为细节题。本题问:World Books的一个特色是什么?根据文章第二段中的句子“With World Books you'll go on saving as a member. Each month your free magazine is packed with popular books at huge savings”,可见World Books特色之一就是其会员可以得到免费的杂志以及购买价格优惠的书籍。所以本题的正确答案为D)。 [避错说明] 关于折扣,文章的第一、第二段中都有提到,从中可知,一般的折扣never less than 25 per cent,有时可高达50%,并不是选项中的often 80%,故可排除选项A)。选项B)“即使你不是会员,你也可以得到优惠”显然与文章中的内容不符;而选项C)“如果你是俱乐部的成员,你就可以挣更多的钱”也与文中的相关细节矛盾。
D.have to buy a minimum number of books a month during their first six months
A B C D
D
[解析] 本题为细节题。本题问:World Book的会员在第一年需要做些什么?根据文章第四段中的句子:“All we ask is that you choose at least one book a month during your first six months”可见,俱乐部要求会员在头六个月每月至少买一本书。这与选项D)的意思相符,所以本题的正确答案是D)。 [避错说明] 根据文章中的句子“All we ask is that you choose at least one book a month during your first six months. After, it's up to you how many,or how few, you choose”可知,会员只需在前半年的每个月购买至少一本书,之后就没有限制了,你可买也可不买任何书籍。由此可见,选项A)“每个月购买一些书”是错误的。选项B)“必须每年买六本以上的书籍”显然也与文章内容不符。选项C)“会员每年可得到一定数量的免费书籍”在文中未提到,是干扰项。
5. How can members receive their special offer?
A.By completing a printed form.
B.By writing an application letter to World Books.
C.By sending the filled coupons.
D.By sending a personal checks.
A B C D
C
[解析] 本题为细节题。本题问:会员怎样才能开始享受到优惠?从题干中的线索词receive their special offer,可定位到文章的最后一段:“Pick your introductory books and write their numbers on the coupon(优惠券),then send it to us. Don't send us any money now.”从中可知,挑选好你需要的试读图书,将编号写在优惠券上寄给我们,是开始享受优惠的第一步。所以本题的正确答案是C)。 [避错说明] 本题可用排除法。根据最后一段的内容可知,挑选好你需要的试读图书,将编号写在优惠券上寄去,就可成为会员,不要寄钱或别的什么。由此可见,选项A)“填写打印好的表格”;选项B)“给World Books写申请信”;选项D)“寄去个人支票”都是干扰项,可排除。

Task 5 Daniel Cleaver is the CEO of a British manufacturer of electrical appliances. Carl Hank is his General Manager and Kelly Damper is the secretary to Carl Hanks. Recently she has been having difficulties working with Carl. One day, Daniel received the following memo.
MEMORANDUM
To: Daniel Cleaver From. Kelly Damper Date: June 03, 2011 Subject: Complaint about Carl Hanks I would like to make a formal complaint about Carl Hanks' unprofessional behavior. 1. Mr. Hanks has been putting pressure on me to have a personal relationship. When I showed no interest he became aggressive and unpleasant. He gave me too much work, and criticized me in front of the other staff. 2. Mr. Hanks gives orders to me rather than polite instructions. He never encourages or praises me. I think he would like to hire a new secretary who would be more "friendly" to him. 3. He has frequent long lunches with female staff. He returns to the office late in the afternoon, then expects me to work overtime (unpaid) in the evening. I feel that unless the situation improves, I shall be unable to continue working for the company.
1. What's the purpose for Kelly to write the memo? To complain about Carl Hanks' ______.
unprofessional behavior

[解析] 本题为推理题。本题问:为什么Mr. Hanks给Kelly许多工作,而且还在其他员工面前批评她?从文章的第一条投诉可知:Mr. Hanks给Kelly施压,要发展一种超出工作范围的私人关系。当Kelly表示没兴趣加以拒绝时,他就很不悦,用给Kelly过多的工作和当众批评加以报复。由此可知,本题空格处应填showed no interest。
3. According to Kelly, how was Carl's attitude to her? Instead of giving her polite instruction, he always ______ her.
orders/gives orders to
[解析] 本题为细节题。本题问:根据Kelly的说法,Carl对她的态度如何?从文章的第二条投诉“Mr. Hanks gives orders to me rather than polite instructions. He never encourages or praises me”中可知:Mr. Hanks总是命令Kelly,而不是和颜悦色地给予工作指示。所以本题空格处应填orders。
4. Why does Carl often expect Kelly to work overtime in the evening? Because he returns late after the ______ with female staff.
frequent long lunches
[解析] 本题为细节题。本题问:为什么Carl总是希望Kelly在晚上加班?由题干中的线索词expect Kelly to work overtime in the evening,可定位到文章的第三条投诉“He has frequent long lunches with female staff. He returns to the office late in the afternoon, then expects me to work overtime (unpaid)in the evening.”从中可知,Mr. Hanks总是花很长时间和女同事吃饭,以至于下午回办公室很晚,这样就经常让Kelly晚上加班。所以本题空格处应填frequent long lunches。
5. What does Kelly expect Mr. Daniel Cleaver to do? To improve ______.
the situation
[解析] 本题为细节题。本题问:Kelly希望Mr. Daniel Cleaver做些什么?从文章的最后一句“I feel that unless the situation improves, I shall be unable to continue working for the company”可知,Kelly表示,除非情况改善,否则她将无法继续为公司工作了,即她希望Mr. Daniel Cleaver能改善目前的情况。故本题空格处应填the situation。
