【解析】
【详解】考查时态。句意：在过去的二十年中，交通工具有了稳步的改善。根据句意和选项中的动词witness可知，该题中witness的意思是“是发生......的地点（或时间、组织等）；见证”，这时句子的主语多是表示时间或地点的名词，且用主动语态；由句子的主语是the last twenty years可知，句子表示从过去到现在见证了，句子应该用现在完成时。故选A项。
3. I will never forget the scene ________ you saw me off in tears at the station.
A. which B. why C. when D. where
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意： 我永远不会忘记你在车站泪眼汪汪地为我送行的那一幕。空处引导限制性定语从句，先行词是scene(情景)，是抽象地点名词，且定语从句中缺少地点状语，应用关系副词where来引导，故选D。

【解析】

5. As is reported, many a military medical worker _______ in HeBei province to help fight the deadly epidemic.
A. has been stationed B. has stationed
C. have stationed D. have been stationed
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态语态和主谓一致。句意：据报道，许多军队医务人员驻扎在河北省，帮助抗击致命疫情。此处强调过去发生的动作对现在产生影响，应用现在完成时，且主语与谓语动词构成被动关系，故用现在完成时的被动语态，且主语为“many a+可数名词单数”，助动词应用has。故选A。
6. _______ I’m willing to help, I don’t have much time available.
A. As B. While C. As though D. Since
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查状语从句。句意：虽然我很愿意帮忙，但我没有多少时间。A.As 由于，尽管；B.While虽然……但是……； C.As though好像，仿佛； D.Since自从，由于。由句意可知，前后为让步关系，所以空处应用表示让步的从属连词引导让步状语从句，C项引导方式状语从句，排除；D项引导时间状语从句或原因状语从句，排除；选项 A和B可用于引导让步状语从句，As引导让步状语从句时需倒装，本句为陈述句，排除A项，故选B项。

7. My key isn’t in my backpack. Where on earth________ I have put it?
A. can B. would C. should D. must
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查情态动词+have done用法。句意：我的钥匙不在我的背包里。我到底可能将它放在哪里了？根据所给句子及选项可知，此处是“情态动词+have done”，can have done通常用于否定句及疑问句，用于疑问句时，表示怀疑和推测；would have done表示对过去事情的假设，意思是“本来会做”；should have done表示“过去应该做谋事却没有做”；must have done表示对过去的推测，意思是“一定已经，想必已经，准是已经”,只用于肯定句中。根据语境可知，此处表示对过去行为的怀疑和推测，应用can have done。故选A。
8. It is reported that a new school has been built in________ was a deserted village a few decades ago.
A. which B. what C. that D. where
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查宾语从句。句意：据报道一个新的学校被建在几十年前荒废的村子上。介词in后面接的是宾语从句，宾语从句中没有主语，且指代地方，应用连接代词what引导宾语从句。故选B项。
9. When their children lived far away from them, these old people felt ________ from the world.
A. carried away B. broken down
C. cut off D. brought up
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意：当孩子远离他们生活的时候，这些老人感觉和世界隔绝了。carry away带走，夺走；break down崩溃，破坏，抛锚，分解；cut off切断；bring up养育，培养。根据语境，表示切断与世界的联系，故选C。
【点睛】动词短语是高考常考内容。可以按照以下方法学习：1.在每个部分找出自己最熟悉或者最理解的短语，并根据该短语助记总体意思；2.熟记动词本身所具有的全部意思；3.重点根据小品词在该项中的总体意思结合动词本身的意思，理解自己最不理解和不熟悉的短语4.脱离汉语，只看英语动词短语，并放到具体句子和场景中认识动词短语5.注意有些短语意义很接近, 这要结合例句和上下文掌握它们的用法。
10. The real reason why prices ____ , and still are, too high is complex, and no short discussion can satisfactorily explain this problem.
A. were B. will be
C. have been D. had been
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态。句意：过去和现在价格一直居高不下的真正原因很复杂，简短的讨论解释这一问题无法让人满意。根据题干中“and still are”的提示可知过去价格也居高不下，故用一般过去时，表示过去的状态。故选A项。
【点睛】做时态题时，考生应抓住时态标志词，即题干中明显的时间状语或已有动词的时态，利用时态呼应的原则迅速锁定正确答案。本题中已有动词的时态为一般现在时，still暗示前面用一般过去时与此呼应。C项容易误选，这里现在完成时表示从过去到现在一直是这种状态，包括了现在，与后面的一般现在时有重复部分，故排除。

11. —Did you attend the meeting for the experiment project yesterday?
—Yes, but I don’t think I ____ because my director was there.
A need to have B. need to C. needed to D. need have
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查情态动词+have done。句意：——你昨天参加实验项目的会议了吗?——是的，但我想我（本来）不需要，因为我的主管在那里。Think/suppose等宾语从句中如果有否定词时，要把从句的否定词not前移，即“否定前移”。所以not是从句中的否定词。“need have done”意为“本来有必要做而未做”；“needn’t have done”指过去本来没必要做而做了。根据上一句时间状语“yesterday”可知本句指的是过去发生的事。结合第二句“because my director was there(我的主管)在”可推断出，我本来不必要去。故选D。
12. Their sense of humour and ability to get along with people are two characteristics that ______ for their lack of experience.
A. allow B. cater C. account D. compensate
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：他们的幽默感和与人相处的能力是弥补他们经验不足的两个特点。A. allow 允许；B. cater 迎合，满足；C. account 解释，说明；D. compensate 弥补，补偿；根据句中“Their sense of humour and ability to get along with people（他们风趣幽默，与人相处融洽）”可知这些是优点，与下文“their lack of experience（缺乏经验）”这一缺点，恰好是互为补充。故选D。
13. Kelly studies many different subjects in high school, _______ English is the most interesting in her opinion.
A. from which B. in which C. which D. of which
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：凯莉在高中学习很多不同的科目，在她看来英语是最有趣的。此处为介词+关系代词结构的非限定性定语从句。根据句意可知是在很多科目中的一个，应选用介词of，关系代词which指代先行词subjects 并在从句中作介词of的宾语，所以应该是of which。故选D。
14. ---Do you have enough to ________ all your daily expense?

A. cover B. spend

【答案】A
【解析】

【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查地点状语从句。句意：虽然他对这个领域所做的大量工作知之甚少，但却在其他见多识广的实验者们失败的领域成功了。根据句子结构和意思可知，_____ other better-informed experimenters failed是表示“he”成功的地方，succeed是不及物动词，所以是地点状语从句。从句基本成分完整，所以用连词where做地点状语，并引导地点状语从句。故选D。
16. He had no choice but ________ their proposals.
A. following B. to follow C. follow D. to be following

【答案】B
【解析】

As you are soon on your way to Eastern Europe, here are a few tips on what you should pack. In general, pack lightly, with only the most basic clothes. People dress casually in Eastern Europe, so you don't need to bring along your smartest clothing.
At the risk of going against our own advice by weighing down your luggage, we suggest you consider bringing along the following things, which we find particularly useful in Eastern Europe.
Batteries：If your camera，flash，or other appliances run on batteries，bring enough supply along. Certain types of batteries don't exist in Eastern Europe，and those that do often don't last very long.
Calculator: Many travelers find it useful to figure out foreign exchange rates on a calculator. We suggest a credit-card calculator which fits into your wallet or purse.
Cash: We have found it good to have supply of small-unit U.S. bills ($l and $5) to use in hard-currency stores, to buy international train tickets, etc. The hard-currency stores never seem to have the right change, and thus you may lose out without some “pretty cash”on hand.
Electric Current Adapter: If you bring any appliances, remember that the electricity in Eastern Europe uses 220 volts A.C., not the standard 110 volts of North America. A 110 volts appliance will soon burn out when attached to an unchanged 220-volt plug. Get in touch with the Franzus Company, 352 Park Ave. South, New York, NY10010 (tel.212/889-5850), and ask for their booklet, "Foreign Electricity Is No Dark Secret".
Language Tools: One of Europe's big challenges is communicating with the local people since their languages are so different from our own. To help overcome difficulties, you might buy phrasebooks before you go -you won't find them once you are. in Eastern Europe.
If you are interested in learning an Eastern European language in more detail, we recommend the tape course produced by Audio Forum. In each course you listen to native speakers on a tape and follow along in a textbook. You can ask Audio Forum for their catalog at 96 Broad St., Guiford, CT06437 (tel. toll free 800/243-1234).
Money Belt: A money belt is especially helpful when you have many documents to carry around (as you always do in Eastern Europe). The best one we find is made by Eagle Greek Travel Gear, 143 Cedros Ave. (P. O. box.651), Solona Beach, CA 92075 (tel. 6197755 -9399, or toll free 800/874-9925) outside California.
Traveler's Checks: These are necessary. Bring your traveler's checks in small to medium unit ($10, $20, or $50) to change a little bit at a time, so as not to be left with a lot of local money. To be on the safe side, be sure to copy down the check numbers in two places, just in case something happens to the checks.
51. Which of the following sections deal with money matters?
A. Cash & Money Belt
B. Money Belt & Calculator
C. Cash & Traveler's Checks
D. Calculator & Electric Current Adapter
52. Eagle Creek Travel Gear is a company producing ______.
A. calculators B. tapes
C. electric current adapters D. money belts
53. Which of the following is NOT a fact according to the passage?
A. No shop in Eastern Europe accepts hard currency.
B. Travelers may need to carry many documents in Eastern Europe.
C. The electricity in Eastern Europe uses 220 volts A. C.
D. Eastern European languages can be a problem to foreign travelers.
54. Jane wants to learn Russian before going to Eastern Europe, she can______.
A. call 619/755-9399 for advice
B. ask for Franzus Company for a phrasebook
C. go to 96 Broad St, Guiford, for help
D. write to Solona Beach, CA 92075 for a textbook
55. This passage is probably taken from
A. an official notice B. a traveler's guide
C. a holiday advertisement D. immigration instructions
【答案】51. C 52. D 53. A 54. C 55. B

Bring your traveler's checks in small to medium unit ($10, $20, or $50) to change a little bit at a time, so as not to be left with a lot of local money. To be on the safe side, be sure to copy down the check numbers in two places, just in case something happens to the checks.(这些是必需的。随身携带小到中等面额的旅行支票(10美元、20美元或50美元)，一次换一点，这样就不会带着很多当地货币了。为了保险起见，一定要把支票号码抄在两处，以防支票发生意外。)”可知，Cash(现金)和Traveler's Checks(旅行支票)两部分涉及到与金钱有关。故选C。

B
Alexis, 17, sat quietly in the passenger seat of her dad’s car. She let her eyes lazily scan the field for wildlife. Then a deer came into sight about 200 yards in front of them. “Dad, there’s a deer there!” Alexis said. It was a male deer with sharp antlers (鹿角) on each side of its head.
As the car moved closer, Alexis saw that the deer’s head was bent toward the ground. Then she heard a scream and saw an arm fly up near the deer’s head. Alexis realized the deer was attacking a woman. Sue, a 44-year-old mother, had been out for her morning run. The deer followed her and edged closer. “I knew I was in trouble,” Sue says. She went to pick up a stone for self-protection, and the deer attacked. It lifted her with its antlers and threw her into the air. Sue could feel blood flew down her leg. Within seconds, the deer had pushed her off the road.
When Alexis and her father pulled up, the deer was throwing Sue like a doll. Alexis looked into the woman’s frightened eyes, and before her father had even stopped the car, the teenager jumped quickly out of the car and ran toward the deer. “I was kicking it to get its attention,” she says. Then her father, who had followed his daughter, pushed the deer away from the woman. Alexis helped Sue into the car, and then applied a piece of cloth to Sue’s injured leg. “We’re going to take you to a hospital,” Alexis said. Then she heard her father shout loudly. He had been knocked to the ground. Alexis took hold of a hammer from the car and ran to where her father lay on his back. She beat the deer’s head and neck, but it didn’t scare it away. “I was losing faith,” she says. “More strikes, Alexis,” said her father. “You can do it.” Turning the hammer around, Alexis closed her eyes and beat the deer’s neck with all her strength. When she opened her eyes, the deer was running away. Alexis got in the driver’s seat and sped toward the nearest hospital.
After Sue was treated, she tearfully thanked the teenager and her father. “You expect a teenage girl to get on the phone and call for help,” she says, “not to beat up a deer.”
56. What was Sue doing when she was attacked by the deer?
A. She was driving home.
B. She was resting on the road.
C. She was taking exercise.
D. She was feeding wild animals.
57. The underlined word “edged” in Paragraph 2 probably means “ ”.
A. changed B. cut C. attacked D. moved
58. What did Alexis do to save Sue?
A. She pushed the deer away.
B. She hit the deer with her feet.

【答案】56 C 57. D 58. B 59. C 60. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述Alexis和父亲一起在野外开车时，遇到素不相识的Sue被公鹿攻击。Alexis跳出车去救Sue，用脚去踢凶猛的公鹿，并且在父亲被公鹿攻击时，用锤子和公鹿搏斗，赶跑了公鹿，最终将Sue送到医院的故事。
【56题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Alexis realized the deer was attacking a woman. Sue, a 44-year-old mother, had been out for her morning run(Alexis意识到这只鹿在攻击一个女人。 Sue，一位44岁的母亲，一直在晨跑)”可知，她正在晨跑锻炼时，遭受到鹿的攻击。故选C。
【57题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段的“The deer followed her(鹿跟着她)”和“the deer attacked(鹿袭击了)”可知，鹿跟着她，接近她，然后再攻击。由此推知“edged closer”是指“慢慢靠近”，划线词edged的意思是“移动”，和moved意思相近，故选D。
【58题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“the teenager jumped quickly out of the car and ran toward the deer. ‘I was kicking it to get its attention,’ she says.(少年迅速跳下车，向那只鹿跑去。“我踢它是为了引起它的注意，”她说。)”可知，Alexis用她的脚踢那只鹿来救Sue。故选B。
【59题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“‘More strikes, Alexis,’ said her father. ‘You can do it.’(“更多的打击，亚历克西斯，”她的父亲说。“你能做到的。”)”可知，Alexis的父亲在这个过程中给了她鼓励，所以“Alexis’s father gave her encouragement in the process.”是正确的表述。故选C。
【60题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“I was kicking it to get its attention (我踢它是为了引起它的注意)”，“Then she heard her father shout loudly. He had been knocked to the ground. Alexis took hold of a hammer from the car and ran to where her father lay on his back. She beat the deer’s head and neck(然后她听到父亲大声喊叫。他被击倒在地。亚历克西斯从车里拿起一把锤子，跑到她父亲躺着的地方。她打鹿的头和脖子)”和“Turning the hammer around, Alexis closed her eyes and beat the deer’s neck with all her strength. When she opened her eyes, the deer was running away.(Alexis把锤子转过来，闭上眼睛，用她所有的力气敲了鹿的脖子。当她睁开眼睛时，鹿已经跑开了。)”可知，Alexis跳出车去救Sue，用脚去踢凶猛的公鹿，并且在父亲被公鹿攻击时，用锤子和公鹿搏斗，可以看出Alexis非常热心和勇敢，故选D。
C
The United States seems to have become extremely enthusiastic about competition. The famous Scripps National Spelling Bee—an annual spelling contest—now allows kids who last in regional competitions but whose parents agree to pay an entry fee (费用) along with their own food and accommodation to compete. And while some kids are working for what they call a spelling “career”, others are approaching chess competitions, dance competitions, cooking or other passions that previous generations developed somewhat later in life.
I’m disturbed by the phenomenon (现象), which seems to be getting worse and more intense.
My teacher always warned us that competition is a destructive quality; that the goal is never to beat anyone else. I think he’ll be cheered by author Peggy Noonan’s idea that a lot of us are running our own races, trying to rise to the occasion and beat some past and limited conception of ourselves by doing something great.
I heartily agree. Instead of paying attention to the accomplishments or possessions of others, we need to focus on our own potential, our own growth and take pleasure in our own particular set of circumstances. The battle for life is not against anyone else but against the darkness inside that tries to bring us down. I wish you only well. Your good doesn’t reduce mine. Your bad gives me no pleasure
Ms. Noonan also suggests that “you’re running your own race alongside others running theirs, and in the same direction. You’re doing something great together.” If we stop worrying about what our neighbor is earning or driving, the size of his house, the success of his marriage, the accomplishments of his children, we can sit back and enjoy our own lives. And if we all focus on what we each can achieve, regardless of anyone else, we have a chance of working as one, of actually being united.
Competition divides us. There are winners and losers. But that’s a very limited picture of reality. It may apply to spelling bees and soccer matches and even in some college classes, but life isn’t about triumphing (战胜) over someone else; it’s about triumphing over ourselves. The only acceptable competition is one where we encourage each other to be the best human being possible, and that’s the only game where “everyone is a winner”.
61. What does the author worry about?
A. Youth competition is fierce. B. Youth competition is expensive.
C. Youth competition lacks fairness. D. Youth competition lacks diversity.
62. What do you know about Peggy Noonan?
A. She’s also a student of the author’s teacher’s.
B. She thinks competition is a destructive quality.
C. She taught the author how to understand competition.
D. She and the author’s teacher have similar views on competition.
63. What should we do in the battle for life according to the author?
A. Know our competitors well. B. Leave everything to chance.
C. Get rid of the bad things inside us. D. Learn from others’ successes and failures.
64. How does Peggy Noonan describe the way people live their lives?
A. People take turns to lead the race.
B. People follow parallel paths to each other.
C. One man’s loss is another man’s gain.
D. No one goes in the same direction as anyone else.
65. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. Your Real Competition Is With Yourself
B. Everyone Is a Winner in the Battle for Life
C. Competition Is a Good Thing, But Not to the Youth
D. Through Competition, We Become Better Ourselves
【答案】61. A 62. D 63. C 64. B 65. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。美国似乎对竞争变得极度热情，作者论述了自己对“竞争”的理解。
【61题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“And while some kids are working for what they call a spelling “career”, others are approaching chess competitions, dance competitions, cooking or other passions that previous generations developed somewhat later in life. (当一些孩子正在为他们所谓的拼写“职业”而努力时，另一些孩子正在着手处理象棋比赛、舞蹈比赛、烹饪或前几代人在生活中稍晚发展起来的其他爱好)”以及第二段“I’m disturbed by the phenomenon, which seems to be getting worse and more intense.(我对这种现象感到不安，这种现象似乎变得更糟糕更严重)”可知，作者担心的是青少年竞争激烈这一现象。故选A项。
【62题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“My teacher always warned us that competition is a destructive quality; that the goal is never to beat anyone else. I think he’ll be cheered by author Peggy Noonan’s idea that a lot of us are running our own races, trying to rise to the occasion and beat some past and limited conception of ourselves by doing something great.(我的老师总是告诫我们，竞争是一种破坏性的品质；我们的目标是永远不击败任何其他人。我想，他会因作者佩吉·努南的观点而高兴，佩吉·努南认为，我们中的很多人都在进行自己的比赛，努力通过做一些伟大的事情来战胜过去对自己的局限性)”可知，佩吉·努南和作者的老师都认为竞争不是去击败任何其他人，而是战胜过去的自己，两人对竞争有相似的看法。故选D项。
【63题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The battle for life is not against anyone else but against the darkness inside that tries to bring us down.(生命之战不是与任何其他人对抗，而是与内心试图打倒我们的黑暗作斗争)”可知，作者认为，在生命之战中，我们应该与内心试图打倒我们的黑暗作斗争，摆脱内心的坏东西。故选C项。
【64题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Ms. Noonan also suggests that “you’re running your own race alongside others running theirs, and in the same direction. You’re doing something great together.”(努南女士也表明，“你和其他人一起跑自己的比赛，并且是朝着相同的方向跑。你们在一起做一些伟大的事情。”)”可知，佩吉·努南认为人们都在和彼此沿着平行的道路、朝着相同的方向奔跑，一起做一些伟大的事情。故选B项。
【65题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The only acceptable competition is one where we encourage each other to be the best human being possible, and that’s the only game where “everyone is a winner”.(唯一可以接受的竞争是我们鼓励彼此成为尽可能最好的人，这是唯一一场“每个人都是赢家”的比赛)”以及文章内容可知，在美国似乎对竞争变得极度热情的背景下，作者论述了自己对“竞争”的理解，竞争的对手不是其他人，而是你自己，所以“你真正的竞争对手是你自己”可以作为文章标题。故选A项。
D
In one of my favorite studies on the meaning of life, researchers asked a group of students to write about their “true self”. Another group of students were asked to write about their “everyday self” and a third group of students were asked to write about the campus bookstore. After the writing task, the students were then asked to rate their meaning of life.
The researchers were interested in how much detail the participants provided in their various essays. Their assumption is that the more detailed description one provides about one’s true self, the more likely one authentically (真实地) connects with that sense of self. Not surprisingly, for those writing about their “everyday self” or about the campus bookstore, the amount of detail didn’t have any connection with their sense of meaning of life. However, when people wrote about their “true self”, the more detailed the essay was, the more the person was exposed to the meaning of life.
To live a meaningful life, then, make sure you are in touch with yourself. If you don’t follow your own values and dreams, you are most probably following values set by others. And there is nothing more disappointing in life than living someone else’s dream. As Oscar Wilde put it, it is better to be yourself, as everyone else is already taken.
Meaningfulness is about connection. While this means that a major part of the meaningfulness in our lives comes from connecting with others through intimate, caring relationships and through being able to contribute to society and those one cares about, you cannot connect with others unless you are first in touch with yourself. Otherwise it is not you who are connecting to others but just an empty shell. Only by knowing what you are, can you start to authentically connect with others.
So, set out to write about your true self and who you believe you really are as a person, what your most important values are, and what you yourself would like to pursue and have in life. Then figure out how you could make that “true self” more the self that is realized in your everyday life and work.
66. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. The process of a study. B. The meaning of life.
C Three groups of students. D. A writing task of evaluating life.
67. What’s the finding of the researchers?
A. “Everyday self” connects with the campus bookstore.
B. More various essays interpret the meaning of life better.
C. The participants with detailed essays have a more meaningful life.
D. More “true self” description makes one experience the meaning of life better.
68. What does the underlined word “intimate” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Personal and private. B. Deep and detailed.
C. Close and friendly. D. Quiet and gentle.
69. What can make you truly connect with others?
A. Following values and dreams set by others.
B. Being the author of your own life.
C. Changing “everyday self” into “true self”.
D. Being able to contribute to society.
70. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Connect with Life—Dream Is Valued
B. Why Not Pursue Goals You Find Useful?
C. Be Yourself—Everyone Else Is Taken
D. Why Not Build Caring Relationships with Yourself?
【答案】66. A 67. D 68. C 69. B 70. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了要过一个有意义的生活，就要保持和自己产生联系，知道自己是个什么样的人以及你的价值观是什么，只有这样你才能在日常生活展现出真实自我。
【66题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段的“In one of my favorite studies on the meaning of life, researchers asked a group of students to write about their “true self”. Another group of students were asked to write about their “everyday self” and a third group of students were asked to write about the campus bookstore. After the writing task, the students were then asked to rate their meaning of life.(在我最喜欢的一项关于生命意义的研究中，研究人员让一组学生写下他们的“真实自我”。另一组学生被要求写下他们的“日常自我”，第三组学生被要求写关于校园书店的内容。完成写作任务后，学生们被要求对他们的人生意义进行评价。)”可知，此处讲述的是研究人员将研究对象分为三组进行实验对照，对不同的研究对象进行不同任务安排，因此可知，此段主要讲的是研究的过程。故选A项。
【67题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“However, when people wrote about their “true self”, the more detailed the essay was, the more the person was exposed to the meaning of life.(然而，当人们写“真实自我”时，文章写得越详细，这个人就越能体会到生活的意义。)”可知，当一个人写“真实自我”写得越具体、越详细时，这个人就能更好地去理解生活的意义。故选D项。
【68题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段的“Meaningfulness is about connection. While this means that a major part of the meaningfulness in our lives comes from connecting with others through intimate, caring relationships and through being able to contribute to society and those one cares about, you cannot connect with others unless you are first in touch with yourself.(意义在于联系。虽然这意味着我们生活的意义主要来自于通过intimate、关爱的关系与他人联系，以及通过能够为社会和自己关心的人做贡献，但除非你首先与自己联系，否则你无法与他人产生联系。)”可知，生活的意义主要在于通过充满关爱的关系与他人产生联系，以及通过为社会和你所关心的人做贡献来体现，且此处intimate与caring共同修饰relationship，因此可推知，intimate relationship应指的是很好、很亲近的关系，故intimate与C项“close and friendly亲密和友好的”意义相近。故选C项。
【69题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“Otherwise it is not you who are connecting to others but just an empty shell. Only by knowing what you are, can you start to authentically connect with others.(否则，与他人联系的不是你，而是一个空壳。只有知道你是什么，你才能开始真正地与他人联系。)”和最后一段中的“So, set out to write about your true self and who you believe you really are as a person, what your most important values are, and what you yourself would like to pursue and have in life. (所以，开始写下你的真实自我，你相信自己是一个怎样的人，你最重要的价值观是什么，你自己在生活中想追求和拥有什么)”可知，要与他人真正产生联系，你要真正去了解你自己，换句话说，你需要描述的更多的是你自己，做自己生活的作家，这样你才能真正和他人产生联系。故选B项。
【70题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段的“So, set out to write about your true self and who you believe you really are as a person, what your most important values are, and what you yourself would like to pursue and have in life. Then figure out how you could make that “true self” more the self that is realized in your everyday life and work.(所以，开始写下你的真实自我，你相信自己是一个怎样的人，你最重要的价值观是什么，以及你自己想要追求和拥有什么。然后想想如何让“真实自我”更真实地存在于你的日常生活和工作中。)”以及综合全文内容可知，本文主要讲述的是要做真实自我，了解自己，明白自己的价值观是什么，这样才真正与他人产生联系，才能真正体会到生活的意义，因此可知，作者就是告诉读者要做自己，C项“做你自己——别人都有人做了”符合文意。故选C项。

These days, nobody needs to cook. Families graze on high-cholesterol take-aways and microwaved ready-meals. Cooking is an occasional hobby and a vehicle for celebrity chefs.
Which makes it odd that the kitchen has become the heart of the modern house, what the great hall was to the medieval castle, the kitchen is to the 21st-century home.
The money spent on kitchens has risen with their status. In America the kitchen market is now worth $170 billion five times the country's film industry. In the year to August 2007, IKEA, a Swedish furniture chain, sold over one million kitchens worldwide. The average budget for a "major" kitchen overhaul in 2006, calculates Remodeling magazine, was a staggering $54,000, even a "minor" improvement cost on average $18,000.
Exclusivity, more familiar in the world of high fashion, has reached the kitchen: Robinson &Cornish, a British manufacturer of custom-made kitchens, offers a Georgian-style. one which would cost £145,000-155,000—excluding building, plumbing and electrical work. Its big selling point is that nobody else will have it :"You won't see this kitchen anywhere else in the word."
The elevation of the room that once belonged only to the servants for the modem family tells the story of a century of social change. Right into the early 20th century, kitchens were smoky, noisy places, generally located underground, or to the back of the house, as far from living space as possible. That was as it should be: kitchens were for servants, and the aspiring middle classes wanted nothing to do with them.
But as the working classes prospered and the servant shortage set in, housekeeping became a natter of interest to the educated classes. One of the pioneers of a radical new way of thinking about the kitchen was Catharine Esther Beecher, sister of Harriet Beecher Stowe. In American human's Home、published in 1869, the Beecher sisters recommended a scientific approach to use hold management, designed to enhance the efficiency of a woman's work and promote order. Many contemporary ideas about kitchen design can be traced back to another American, Chris Frederick, who set about enhancing the efficiency of the housewife. Her 1919 work,
House-Engineering: Scientific Management in the Home, was based on detailed observation of a wife's daily routine. She borrowed the Principle of efficiency on the factory floor and applied mystic tasks on the kitchen floor.
Frederick's central idea, that "stove, sink and kitchen table must be placed in such a relation that useless steps are avoided entirely". Inspired the first fully fitted kitchen, designed in the 1920s by Mangarete Schutter. Libotsky. It was a modernist triumph, and many elements remain central features of today's kitchen.

第一节、阅读表达(共 5 小题；每小题 2 分, 满分 10 分)
阅读下面的短文，并根据短文内容回答后面的问题。
Most people agree that honesty is a good thing. But does Mother Nature agree? Animals can't talk, but can they lie in other ways? Can they lie with their bodies and behavior? Animal experts may not call it lying, but they do agree that many animals, from birds to chimpanzees, behave dishonestly to fool other animals. Why? Dishonesty often helps them survive.
Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. For example, a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young. When a predator(猎食动物)gets close to its nest, the plover leads the predator away from the nest. How? It pretends to have a broken wing. The predator follows the "hurt" adult, leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.
Another kind of bird, the scrub jay, buries its food so it always has something to eat. Scrub jays are also thieves. They watch where others bury their food and steal it. But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them. So they go back later, unbury the food, and bury it again somewhere else. Birds called cuckoos have found a way to have babies without doing much work. How? They don't make nests. Instead, they get into other birds' nests secretly. Then they lay their eggs and fly away. When the baby birds come out, their adoptive parents feed them.
Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky. After a fight, the losing chimp will give its hand to the other. When the winning chimp puts out its hand, too, the chimps are friendly again. But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winner's hand and start fighting again.
Chimps are dishonest in other ways, too. When chimps find food that they love, such as bananas, it is natural for them to cry out. Then other chimps come running. But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food. That way, other chimps don't hear them, and they don't need to share their food.
As children, many of us learn the saying "You can't fool Mother Nature." But maybe you can't trust her, either.
76. According to the passage, why do many animals behave dishonestly to fool others? (no more than 10 words)
77. How does a plover deal with it when a predator approaches its nest? (no more than 15 words)
78. Who often feed cuckoos' baby birds? (no more than 3 words)
79. What does the underlined word in paragraph 4 mean? (no more than 1 word)
80. What kind of animal do you like best? And why? (no more than 20 words)
【答案】76. Because dishonesty often helps them survive. ##To help them survive.
77. It pretends to have a broken wing and leads the predator away. ##It leads the predator away by pretending to have a broken wing.
78. Their adoptive parents.
79. Dishonest.
80. I like dogs best because they are clever and friendly.

【78题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段最后一句“When the baby birds come out, their adoptive parents feed them.(当雏鸟孵出来时，它们的养父母会喂它们)”可知，杜鹃的雏鸟是由养父母喂养的。故答案为Their adoptive parents。
