第I卷（选择题）
一、单项选择
1．--The fashion world just keeps recycling old ideas.
---____ .There is less and less creativity these days.
A．You're absolutely right. B．I don't get it.
C．I couldn't agree with you. D．It's up to you.
【答案】A
【详解】
考查情景交际。句意：——时装界就是不停地重复利用旧观念。——你说得对。现在创造力越来越弱了。A. You're absolutely right. 你说得对；BI don't get it. 我没理解；C. I couldn't agree with you. 我不同意你；D. It's up to you. 这取决于你。根据There is less and less creativity these days.可知，回答的人认为现在创造力越来越弱，说明这个人同意对方的观点，即时装界就是不停地重复利用旧观念，故选A项。
【点睛】
考查情景交际的题，考生一定要结合语境，弄清对话要表达的意思。比如本题，第一个说话的人说的是时尚就是不停地翻新旧观念，根据There is less and less creativity these days.可知，回答的人认为现在创造力越来越弱，说明他同意前者的观点，根据语境选A项。
2．In the past twenty years, a huge amount of environmental damage ________ by air pollution.
A．has been caused B．have been caused
C．was caused D．were caused
【答案】A
【详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：在过去的二十年里，空气污染已经对环境造成了很大的危害。“in the past +一段时间”一般与现在完成时连用，故排除C，D。分析可知，句子的主语a huge amount of environmental damage和谓语cause之间是动宾关系，所以要用被动语态。主语为单数，谓语动词也要用单数。故选A项。
【点睛】
a huge amount of意为“大量的”，修饰不可数名词。本题中environmental damage为不可数名词，由a huge amount of修饰，a huge amount of environmental damage为主语表示单数，所以谓语动词要用单数。
3．—Chinese kung fu is a very important and unique form of Chinese culture.
—Yes. But ________, a lot of it has not been passed down.
A．unfortunately B．hopefully
C．immediately D．especially
【答案】A
【详解】
考查副词。句意：——中国功夫是中国文化中一种非常重要又独特的形式。——是的。但不幸地是，很多（功夫）都没有被传承下来。A. unfortunately不幸地；B. hopefully有希望地；C. immediately立刻；D. especially特别，尤其。根据a lot of it has not been passed down可知，很多功夫都没有被传承，这是一件不幸的事情，故选A项。
4．D
5．D
6．B
7．Lucy_ _writing her essay by 10:00 this morning. After that, she listened to music for a while.
A．will finish B．finishes
C．has finished D．had finished
【答案】D
【解析】
考察过去完成时态。句意"Lucy在今天早上10点已经完成了她的散文，然后她听了会音乐。"这里说明已经是过去已经做过的事情，所以要用过去完成时态。故选D。
8．The rainy weather lasted for a couple of days, completely__ our plan for picnic.
A．being ruined B．to ruin
C．ruined D．ruining
【答案】D
【详解】
考查现在分词。句意：下雨的天气持续了几天，完全破坏了我们的野餐计划。分析句子，可知空格的词要充当非谓语动词，在句子中做结果状语。由于ruin与主语rainy weather之间是主动关系，故用现在分词。故选D。
9． A

10．It is a great joy for children to have a harmonious family, ________ the parents treat their child like a friend.
A．why B．where
C．which D．that
【答案】B
【详解】
考查定语从句。句意：对孩子来说，有一个和谐的家庭是一件很快乐的事。在和谐的家庭里，父母像朋友一样对待他们的孩子。分析句子成分可知，the parents treat their child like a friend.为定语从句，缺少一个引导词。a harmonious family先行词，表地点，引导词在从句中作地点状语，故用where引导定语从句。故选B项。
【点睛】
分析定语从句关键抓住两点：第一、找准先行词；第二、看先行词在定语从句中所作的成分。先行词往往为名词或代词，如本题中先行词为a harmonious family，再分析先行词a harmonious family在定语从句中所作的成分，将先行词a harmonious family代入到从句中可知，只能作地点状语，故确定关系词where，相当于in which。
11．C
12．________ never occurred to me ________ I had to attend an important meeting in Shanghai the next day.
A．lt; which B．What; that
C．What; which D．It; that
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】
考查形式主语和主语从句。句意：我突然想起明天我不得不去上海参加一个重要的会议。分析句子可知，I had to attend an important meeting in Shanghai the next day为真正的主语，是一个主语从句，所以用it充当形式主语，在主语从句中什么成分都不缺，故用that引导。It occurred to sb that ….为固定句型，意为“某人突然想到……”。故选D项。
13．If we had taken such effective ________ much earlier, the river would not be polluted so seriously now.
A．treasures B．efforts
C．measures D．actions
【答案】C
【详解】
考查名词词义辨析。句意：我们早采取这么有效的措施，这条河现在就不会被污染的这么严重了。A. treasures财产；珍宝；B. efforts努力；C. measures措施；D. actions行动。根据句意，这里要表达的是采取措施，故选C项。
14．B
15．A

No matter what style our music is, it is 34 that we sing the songs of joy, quiet and love. Though I may never make it back to piano lessons, it doesn’t 35 that I’ve stopped making music.

When I was in third grade, my parents let me join an advanced preparatory math class, Sigma, despite the fact that I had never displayed a liking for math at school. I stepped into class on the first day thinking that I would spend a year at Sigma before leaving.
On the first day of class, we took an hour long test. I merely did the best I could and tried to figure how to solve the problems I hadn't learned how to do in school.
However, what I hadn't expected was to come first! Before that day, I had never believed I was good at math at all. But as the year went on, I consistently got the highest score.
When I was in eighth grade, I joined my school’s math team where I was one of the top four students chosen to represent my school at a statewide middle school math competition. By the time I had created a reputation for myself at school as a math girl. But what drew me to the math team was that it was the first community(团体) I felt like I was a real part of. It was a home where I belonged, where everyone was as excited about problem-solving as I was.
I stopped going to Sigma when I was in ninth grade, but I still stayed in the math team. The math team isn’t like sigma—a place to make you believe in yourself, to take endless tests and compete to see where you are placed relative to your classmates. The math team is the community where I have pushed myself to my limits and have seen other people push themselves. And most importantly, the math team is the place where I have met some of the kindest people I know today. Thank you, math team, for giving me friends and people I will care about even after I go off to college in less than a year and a half. Thank you for making me feel loved.
41．How did the author feel about math when she entered Sigma?
A．It was useful.
B．It was difficult.
C．It was important.
D．It was uninteresting.
42．What do we know about the first test at Sigma?

A．when she took part in math competition
B．after she stayed there for about six years
C．when she joined her school’s math team
D．after she was admitted to college

C．The unlimited challenge.
D．The teaching approach.
45．What’s the best title for the text?

Some people say that friendship is the only channel through which human beings can ever experience the value of life. In our daily life, it is likely that you share some common interests with others-they may like the same sport, go to the same school or like the same kind of music as you do. Since you often meet them, they become your acquaintances（相识的人）. Although some people develop many acquaintances, only a few become their good friends in their lifetime because there are differences between acquaintances and friends.
It is said that true friendship begins when someone knows what you are really like, but still likes you anyway. A true friend shows loyalty（忠诚）from the very beginning of the relationship. A friend will go through challenges to help you without expecting anything in return. A “friend” today may probably become a “true friend” tomorrow when they get involved in unexpected circumstances（条件）together with you-for example, when you are going through a difficult experience and your friend is there to help you out. However, some acquaintances might leave you when you badly need their help. At this time, you can experience what true friendship is.
In our life, some people seem to go through life with plenty of friends. They may be funny or they may have a bright and pleasant personality（性格）. For these people, wherever they go, people seem to like them and welcome their company. But when they go through challenging life experiences, some of their friends are not there to help them. Therefore we can say some of their friends are not real friends and their friendship is just skin-deep.
However, others seem to go through life with no friends at all. They like to be alone, to travel by themselves or to do their own things. It’s a pity that few of these people find success in life because they have no friends. They lack the best gift in life-friendship.
46．What can we learn about acquaintances from the passage?
A．You seldom meet them in your life.
B．Not all of them can become your friends.
C．They are sure to become your good friends.
D．They have all of the same interests as you do.
47．You may get to know the meaning of friendship better when you ______.
A．get into trouble B．see your friend often
C．go to the same school as your friend D．enjoy the same kind of music as your friend
48．According to the passage, we can know that ______.
A．it’s easier to lose a friend than to get one
B．people without friends are always successful
C．it doesn’t matter whether one has friends or not
D．people with bright personality are easy to have friends
49．What does the underlined word “skin-deep” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．Very deep. B．Not deep at all.
C．As precious as skin. D．Hidden under the skin.
50．What is the author’s attitude towards people without friends in their life?
A．Interested. B．Angry.
C．Hopeful. D．Regretful.

这是一篇议论文。文章论述了友谊是人类体验人生价值的唯一途径。你可以在困难的经历中体验什么是真正的友谊，有些友谊是表面的，但是没有朋友的人是令人遗憾的。
1．
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Although some people develop many acquaintances, only a few become their good friends in their lifetime because there are differences between acquaintances and friends.”可知， 虽然有些人结识了许多熟人，只有少数熟人能在他们的生活中成为他们的好朋友，因为熟人和朋友之间存在有差异。可知，不是所有的熟人都能成为你的朋友。故选B项。
2．
细节理解题。根据第二段中“A “friend” today may probably become a “true friend” tomorrow when they get involved in unexpected circumstances together with you — for example, when you are going through a difficult experience and your friend is there to help you out. However, some acquaintances might leave you when you badly need their help. At this time, you can experience what true friendship is.”可知，今天的“朋友”可能明天就会变成“真正的朋友”，因为他们会和你一起经历一些意想不到的事情——例如，当你正在经历一段困难的经历时，你的朋友会帮助你走出困境。然而，一些熟人可能会在你急需他们的帮助时离开你。在这个时候，你可以体验什么是真正的友谊。由此可知，当你陷入困境时，你可能会更了解友谊的意义。故选A项。
3．
推理判断题。根据第三段中“In our life, some people seem to go through life with plenty of friends. They may be funny or they may have a bright and pleasant personality. ”可知，在我们的生活中，有些人似乎一辈子都有很多朋友。他们可能是有趣的，或者他们可能有一个开朗和令人愉快的性格。由此可知，性格开朗的人很容易交到很多朋友。故选D项。
4．
词义猜测题。根据第三段中“But when they go through challenging life experiences, some of their friends are not there to help them. Therefore we can say some of their friends are not real friends and their friendship is just skin-deep.”可知，但当他们经历人生的挑战时，他们的一些朋友并没有帮助他们。因此，我们可
以说他们的一些朋友不是真正的朋友，他们的友谊只是_______。根据描述有一些朋友没有帮助他们，不是真正的朋友，可推断他们的友谊只是表面的，因此划线词的意思为“表面的，肤浅的，轻微的”。故选B项。
5．
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It’s a pity that few of these people find success in life because they have no friends. They lack the best gift in life — friendship.” 可知，遗憾的是，这些人很少在生活中取得成功，因为他们没有朋友。他们缺少生命中最好的礼物——友谊。可知，作者认为生活中有的人没有朋友是令人遗憾的。故选D项。
Art researchers have found a hidden painting of a man under one of Pablo Picasso’s masterpieces, The Blue Room. By using infrared (红外线的) imagery they discovered that the hidden man under the painting was a man with his face resting on his hand. Now the question that scientists at The Phillips Collection hope to answer is simple. Who is he?
The finding of the hidden man in The Blue Room leads to new research about the 1901 painting, which was created by Picasso in Paris at the start of his blue period of unhappiness. Researchers discovered that the hidden man was painted in a reworked composition by Picasso. They are sure that it is not a self-portrait. They think it might be the Paris art dealer Ambrose Villard who hosted Picasso’s first show in 1901, but there’s no record or evidence to prove this, so the research continues.
Hidden pictures have been found under other important Picasso paintings, such as La Vie and Woman Ironing. A technical analysis of La Vie at the Cleveland Museum of Art also found that Picasso reworked the painting’s composition. And scientists found a portrait of a man under Picasso’s painting Woman Ironing at the Guggenheim Museum in Manhattan.

I have had the privilege of meeting some very interesting people over the years. Some of these people made a great influence on my life, my views and personal philosophy. Others I met had the opposite effect because they represented attitudes, behavior and beliefs that were directly opposed to my views on life and my feelings about the value of all people.
One such person I met I left my former position was a woman in her late seventies. She had been an active woman, raised a family and had engaged in helping others, and developed her own crafts to sell at selected craft shows throughout the year.
When I met her for the first time, I couldn’t believe that she was in her late seventies — I would have placed her age more in her early sixties. I spoke with her for a short period. And, it wasn’t a conversation about age, or about pleasures lost. The conversation, instead, focused on all the things that she was planning to do. And, what she was planning to do wasn’t about adding to her flowerbed(although it was huge as it was). What she was planning was a trip to Europe unaccompanied by any tour operator or taken around the usual sights by a local guide. It was a trip where she and her husband could go off on their own and explore, to see what they wanted, to go where they wanted to, and when they wanted to.
She really impressed me a lot because of her zest(热情) for life and for the faith in knowing that there was a great deal of life yet to be discovered and experienced and yearning for each new image, discussion, smell, cultural uniqueness or experience.
