一、单选题(本大题共15小题，共15分)
1. When first ______ to the market, these products enjoyed great success.
A. introducing B. introduced
C. introduce D. being introduced
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查省略句。句意：这些产品刚一投放市场就大获成功。本句为状语从句的省略，当主从句主语一致且从句中有be动词时，可以省略主语和be。将从句补全应为When these products were first introduced to the market。故选B。
【点睛】状语从句中的省略
(1)在when, while, if, as if, though(或although), as, until, once, whether, unless, where等连词连接的状语从句中，常省略跟主句相同的主语和be动词。如：
When (water is) pure, water is a colorless liquid. 水纯净时，是无色的液体。
When (I am) in trouble I always turn to her for help. 我困难时总是找她帮助。
Errors, if (there are) any, should be corrected. 如果有什么错误，就应当改正。
Wood gives much smoke while (wood is) burning. 木头燃烧时放出大量烟雾。
(2)“when(或if, where, wherever, whenever, as soon as, as fast as, than等)+possible/necessary等”，中间省略了it is(或was)。如：
Answer these questions, if (it is) possible without referring to the book.
如果有可能，请不看书回答这些问题。
When (it is) necessary you can help us to do something. 必要时你可以帮助我们做些事。
2. Professor James will give us a lecture on the Western Culture, but when and where _________ yet.
A. hasn’t been decided B. haven’t decided
C. isn’t being decided D. aren’t decided
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和主谓一致。句意：James教授将会给我做一个关于西方文化的演讲，但是何时何地还没有确定。句子的主语是when and where指一件事情的两个方面，仍然使用单数形式。根据yet说明使用现在完成时。故A正确。
3. The old lady from New York felt very happy when she was able to make herself ________ in her broken Chinese.
A. understand B. to understand C. understanding D. understood
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：当从纽约来的老太太用只言片语的汉语让别人明白她自己时，她很高兴。make +宾语+宾语补足语，herself和understand是被动关系，用过去分词做宾补，表示被动。故选D。
4. By the time she reached the corner of the street, the injured _______ to the nearest hospital.
A. was sent B. has been sent C. had been sent D. would be sent
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查时态语态。句意：当她走到街角时，伤者已被送往最近的医院。send是主句谓语动词，与主语the injured(伤者)之间是被动关系，结合时间状语By the time she reached the corner of the street可知，动作发生在“过去的过去”，应用过去完成时态。故选C项。
5. ________ by the advances in technology, many farmers have set up wind farms on their land.
A. Being encouraged B. Encouraging
C. Encouraged D. Having encouraged
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：被科技的进步鼓舞着，很多农民在自己的土地上建起了风力发电厂。逗号前面的是非谓语动词做状语，encourage和这句话的主语many farmers是被动关系，用过去分词做状语。故选C。
6. The boss is quite ______ with his secretary’s ______ ability.
A. satisfied; satisfied B. satisfying; satisfying
C. satisfied; satisfying D. satisfying; satisfied
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：老板对他的秘书令人满意的能力相当满意。第一空修饰人的感情，应用-ed结尾形容词satisfied“满意的”，作表语；第二空修饰ability，应用-ing结尾形容词satisfying“令人满意的”，作定语。故选C。
7. John is a highly ______ man and I am sure he is ______ for the job.
A. education, quality B. educated, quality
C. quality, educated D. educated, qualified
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词和固定搭配。句意：约翰是一个受过良好教育的人，我相信他能胜任这份工作。分析句子可知，第一空应填形容词作定语修饰后面名词man，形容词educated受过教育的，符合题意；而第二空考查短语be qualified for表示“胜任”，为固定搭配。故选D项。
8. My washing machine ___________this week, so I have to wash my clothes by hand.
A. was repaired B. is repaired
C. is being repaired D. has been repaired
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查时态。句意：这周我的洗衣机正在修，所以我不得不手洗衣服。根据后句so I have to wash my clothes by hand.可知，洗衣机正在修，故用现在进行时态的被动语态。故选C。
点睛：本题考查时态。分析选项可以知道，4个选项都用了被动语态，本题考查的其实是不同的时态。选项A是过去时；选项B是一般现在时的被动；选项C是现在进行时；选项D是现在完成时。再结合语境进行分析，最终判断出最佳答案。
9 Her account made all of us _______.
A. to confuse B. confusing C. confuse D. confused
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查过去分词。句意：她的叙述把我们都弄糊涂了。动词confuse意为“使困惑”，和谓语之间没有连词，和逻辑主语all of us构成被动关系，所以应用过去分词形式作宾语补足语。故选D。
10. ______ in London, the penniless American wandered on the pavement, ______ to find a job to make a living.
A. Lost; hoped B. Losing; hoped
C. Lost; hoping D. Losing; hoping
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词的用法。句意：迷失在伦敦街头，这个身无分文的美国人在人行道上闲逛，希望找到一份工作谋生。be lost in是形容词短语做状语，前后主语一致，省略主语和be动词，直接用lost表状态，v-ing形式做状语表示自然而然的结果，动词不定式则表示意料之外的结果。故选C。
11. Mary went to the dance party with her boyfriend, leaving her pet dog ______ in her room．

13. I fell down and broke three of my teeth, I have to come here and get my false teeth________.
A. fix B. fixing C. fixed D. to fix

三、阅读理解(本大题共20小题，共40分)
A
The whale, as big as a locomotive (火车头), jumped out of the water, spinning (旋转) as though for joy, before jumping back under the waves. We watched silently in astonishment, never having been so close to such a huge, fast-moving creature. It seemed almost possible to count the small shellfish on the whale's skin.
In early December gray whales, blue whales, and others had just started heading around the tip of Baja California, Mexico, moving as a community from the Pacific Ocean to the Sea of Cortez. It's in that protected waterway that pregnant whales give birth to their babies. Other whale babies, born the year before, could be seen sailing behind. All whale babies get two trips like this with their mom before they're ready to start having babies of their own and making the journey on their own.
We're in one of several small powerboats, sent out by ScubaCaribe, which carries on such tours in Cabo San Lucas, the whales seemed to be, at times, less than 100 feet from our boat when they rushed out of the water. At other times, they would get much closer and swim beside the boat.
“What if one lands on us?” a woman next to me wondered. Fernando Del Toro, the Destination Manager of ScubaCaribe said, “We haven't had any incidents (事件) of whales jumping over our boats as we always keep our distance. We're sure they themselves are probably careful not to crash into boats. Such an accident would probably also cause them much harm.”
“Everyone can enjoy this magical trip,” said Del Toro. “However, we do not recommend (推荐) it for kids under 5 years old,” he added.
Though conditions on the water vary, our trip was wonderful. Even when the boat sped up to catch up with the whales, there was little need to “hang on”, and some of us remained standing throughout most of the trip. Still, you may want to pack medicine for those who might get seasick while bouncing (颠簸行进) along the waves.
36. How does the author start the text?
A. By telling a story. B. By asking questions.
C. By describing a scene. D. By giving background information.
37. How did the author feel when seeing the jumping whales?
A. Proud. B. Worried. C. Amazed. D. Discouraged.
38. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. A description of the author's journey. B. A list of best places for whale-watching.
C. An introduction to the travelling of whales. D. A suggestion on taking a whale-watching tour.
39. What does Del Toro say about whale-watching?
A. It is suitable for all ages. B. It is much too dangerous.
C. It may cause serious damage to wildlife. D. It should be done from a proper distance.
40. How was the author's trip?
A. It was smooth. B. It was exhausting.
C. It was destroyed by a storm. D. It was terrible due to his seasickness.
【答案】36. C 37. C 38. C 39. D 40. A

【36题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段“The whale, as big as a locomotive (火车头), jumped out of the water, spinning (旋转) as though for joy, before jumping back under the waves. We watched silently in astonishment, never having been so close to such a huge, fast-moving creature. It seemed almost possible to count the small shellfish on the whale's skin. (这头像火车头一样大的鲸鱼跳出水面，高兴地旋转着，然后跳回海浪下。我们惊讶地默默地看着，从未如此接近过如此巨大、移动迅速的生物。几乎可以数鲸鱼皮肤上的小贝类)”可知，作者通过在第一段描述鲸鱼跃出水面的这个场景开始这篇文章，引出下文的乘船赏鲸之旅。故选C项。
【37题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段中的“The whale, as big as a locomotive (火车头), jumped out of the water, spinning (旋转) as though for joy, before jumping back under the waves. We watched silently in astonishment, never having been so close to such a huge, fast-moving creature. (这头像火车头一样大的鲸鱼跳出水面，高兴地旋转着，然后跳回海浪下。我们惊讶地默默地看着，从未如此接近过如此巨大、移动迅速的生物)”可知，当作者看到鲸鱼跃出水面时，作者很惊讶。故选C项。
【38题详解】
主旨大意题。由第二段“In early December, gray whales, blue whales, and others had just started heading around the tip of Baja California, Mexico, moving as a community from the Pacific Ocean to the Sea of Cortez. It's in that protected waterway that pregnant whales give birth to their babies. Other whale babies, born the year before, could be seen sailing behind. All whale babies get two trips like this with their mom before they're ready to start having babies of their own and making the journey on their own. (12月初，灰鲸、蓝鲸和其他鲸鱼刚刚开始在墨西哥下加利福尼亚州的顶端游弋，从太平洋向科尔特斯海迁徙。怀孕的鲸鱼就是在那条受保护的水道里生孩子的。人们还可以看到前一年出生的其他鲸鱼宝宝在后面航行。所有的鲸鱼宝宝都会和它们的妈妈一起进行两次这样的旅行，然后才准备好生育自己的宝宝和开始自己的旅程)”可知，第二段对鲸鱼每年的迁徙进行了介绍。故选C项。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。由第四段中的“Destination Manager of ScubaCaribe said, “We haven't had any incidents (事件) of whales jumping over our boats as we always keep our distance. We're sure they themselves are probably careful not to crash into boats. Such an accident would probably also cause them much harm.”(ScubaCaribe的目的地经理Fernando Del Toro说：“因为我们一直保持距离，所以没有发生过鲸鱼从我们的船上跳过的事件。我们确信它们自己可能很小心，不会撞到船上。这样的事故也可能对它们造成很大伤害。”)”可知，如果鲸鱼从船上跳过，这对人和鲸鱼都有坏处，因此Fernando Del Toro认为应在适当的距离进行赏鲸（这样可以避免潜在的危险）。故选D项。
【40题详解】
细节理解题。由最后一段中的“Though conditions on the water vary, our trip was wonderful. (尽管水上的条件各不相同，我们的旅行还是很精彩)”可知，作者认为赏鲸之旅很精彩，说明作者的旅行很顺利。故选A项。

Instead of thinking that it had fallen off her finger, I pictured her sewing (缝)it in that little pillow that I just happened to place on my bedspread that day. I carefully laid the thimble alongside the others I’ve collected over the years, where I could continue to see the gift God chose to show to me.

四、阅读表达(本大题共1小题，共10分)
阅读下面短文，按照要求完成阅读任务。
“I have some good news for you! ”My husband’s promising words on the phone stopped me from setting the table for dinner.
“What?” I barely waited for him to finish. I really waited for him to finish. I really expected some good news. I was so tired. My infant opened his eyes at 2:30 in the morning and kept crying. I could self-diagnose: sleep debt.
“We’ll have a dinner next Thursday.” His words brought hope and happiness to my tired soul. This event would take place in a music building. The more I heard, the more my heart longed for the evening. I hung up and called my parents to ask about babysitting. Five minutes later, the baby was arranged well. Then reality took over. I felt very upset. What would wear? Post-pregnancy pounds left few options. I had neither the time, money, nor the energy to stop for a new dress. Three days before the dinner, I built up enough courage to open the closet door and find something to wear. First, I tried a blue dress but it was too tight. Then, I held my breath, and tried a green one. I couldn’t believe it. It almost fit! Then, I dug through my drawer for something with the words “tummy control (收腹)”.
When that Thursday came, I walked down the stairs wearing my green dress, high heels and jewelry, and my two-year-old son asked in amazement, “Mommy, are you a fairy?” Those words wouldn’t leave until we got in the car. My husband leaned over and said, “Husband and wife, not mommy and daddy.”
At the dinner, there were cloth napkins. Waiters in white shirts and bow ties served us. My husband said, “Thanks for your hard work. You are as beautiful as ever. Sometimes you just need some time that belongs to yourself.” I was moved to tears. I always complained that no one understood me, but actually, my husband knew everything and helped me out.

【56题详解】
考查细节理解。根据文章第二段关键句“I was so tired. My infant opened his eyes at 2:30 in the morning and kept crying. (我太累了。我的婴儿在凌晨两点半睁开眼睛，一直在哭。)”可知，我太累了，因为婴儿在凌晨两点半醒来，一直在哭，由此可知，作者这么累是因为她的婴儿醒得很早，一直在哭。故答案为Because her infant woke up early and kept crying.

考查词义猜测。根据画线单词句中“Post-pregnancy pounds (怀孕后体重增加)”和下文内容“First, I tried a blue dress but it was too tight. (首先，我试了一件蓝色连衣裙，但太紧了。)”可知，因为怀孕后体重增加，我很少有合适的衣服，由此可知，怀孕后的体重让我几乎没有选择，“Choices”意为“选择”，能够表达画线单词在句中所要表达的意思。故答案为Choices.
【58题详解】
考查细节理解。根据文章第三段关键句“I felt very upset. What would wear? Post-pregnancy pounds left few options. (我感到很沮丧。要穿什么？怀孕后的体重让我几乎没有选择。)”可知，怀孕后体重增加，我不知道该穿什么，感到很沮丧，由此可知，晚饭前作者很沮丧，因为她不知道该穿什么。故答案为She didn’t know what to wear.
【59题详解】
考查细节理解。根据文章第四段关键句“When that Thursday came, I walked down the stairs wearing my green dress, high heels and jewelry, and my two-year-old son asked in amazement, “Mommy, are you a fairy?” (当那个星期四到来时，我穿着绿色连衣裙、高跟鞋，戴着珠宝走下楼梯，两岁的儿子惊讶地问：“妈妈，你是仙女吗？”)”可知，看到我的打扮，两岁的儿子惊讶地问我是不是仙女，由此可知，看到作者的打扮，她的孩子很惊讶。故答案为He felt amazed.
【60题详解】
开放题。根据文章最后一段关键句“My husband said, “Thanks for your hard work. You are as beautiful as ever. Sometimes you just need some time that belongs to yourself.” (我丈夫说：“谢谢你的辛勤工作。你一如既往地美丽。有时你只是需要一些属于自己的时间。”)”可知，丈夫请我吃饭，因为他知道我很辛苦，希望我能放松一下，由此可知，作者的丈夫很体贴，因为他知道他的妻子很辛苦，希望她放松一下，本题为开放题，言之有理即可。故答案为He is considerate. Because he knows that his wife is hard-working and wants her to relax.

Besides, spending much time reading Chinese newspapers and magazines will be helpful, which can enlarge your vocabulary. In addition, I strongly recommend you keep a Chinese diary every day.
