What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?A.Parents should understand their children.B.Parents should keep their children safe.C.Parents should open their hearts to their children.D.Parents should give their children enough freedom.59.What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A.To give advice. B.To direct teenagers.C.To present findings. D.To comfort parents.B“I swear,I didn’t steal anything!” I shouted over the alarm.Obviously the security guard didn’t believe me because he seized the shopping bag right out of my hand.“Do you have a receipt for this?” he asked doubtfully,putting any new back-to-school outfit (全套装备) onto the dusty floor near the mall entrance.“Of course I do,” I replied,fishing my wallet out of my coat pocket.Elsie and Monica,my two best friends,stood beside me.They were laughing their heads off!I almost tore my wallet apart for the receipt,but it had disappeared.“Let me look again,” I said nervously.Then I looked again,and again,and again!My face was getting hotter by the minute,and my heart was beating like a racehorse.Finally,I looked back at the guard and whispered,“It’s not here.” The guard picked up my clothes and said,“You’ll have to come with me,Miss.”When he opened the office door,I saw a man sitting behind a big metal desk.It was the manager.Then I had an idea.“May I say something?” I asked.“I can prove I didn’t steal this thing.” Then I explained all about the cashier (出纳员).She said that she had bought the exact same outfit as a birthday present for her little sister.“We’ll just see about that,” the manager said and went off to find her.Ten minutes later,I was free!It was terrible to be unfairly accused of something!Then I remembered shouting at my sister that very morning for taking my new hair clips.Had she really taken them?I made a promise that day never to accuse someone of something without proof,and I haven’t.At least something good came out of my terrible experience.60.Why didn’t the security guard believe the author?A.Because she looked nervous at that time.B.Because she had no money in her wallet.C.Because she didn’t have a receipt for the outfit.D.Because her face turned red after being caught.61.That the author’s two friends laughed their heads off showed________.A.they didn’t believe the author was a thief at allB.they laughed at the author who stole thingsC.they expected the author to be caughtD.they played a trick on the author62.Who proved that the author hadn’t stolen anything?A.The manager. B.The cashier.C.The author’s friends. D.The security guard.63.From her experience,the author learned that________.A.you should believe in yourself in face of difficultyB.it is a terrible thing to be suspected by friendsC.you should ask for a receipt for whatever you buyD.you should not doubt others if you can’t prove itCEach new school year brings fresh reminders of what educators call the summer learning gap.Some call it the summer learning setback.Put simply,it means the longer kids are out of school,the more they forget.The only thing they might gain is weight.Most American schools follow a traditional nine-month calendar hold classes for about eight weeks at a time,with a few weeks off in between.The National Association for Year-Round Education says there were fewer than 3,000 such schools at last count.They were spread among forty-six of the fifty states.But many experts point out that the number of class days in a year-round school is generally the same as in a traditional school.Brenda McLaughlin is research director at the National Center for Summer Learning at Johns Hopkins University.She says studies of year-round schooling have not found strong learning gains.Lead researcher Paul von Hippel said,“Year-round schools don’t really solve the problem of the summer learning setback.They simply spread it out across the year.”Across the country,research shows that students from poor families fall farther behind over the summer than other students.Experts say this can be prevented.They note that many schools and local governments offer programs that can help.But calling them “summer school” could be a problem.The director of the summer learning center at Johns Hopkins,Ron Fairchild,said research with groups of different parents in Chicago and Baltimore found that almost all strongly disliked the term “summer school”.In American culture,the idea of summer vacation is connected to beliefs about freedom and the joys of childhood.The parents welcomed other terms like “summer camp” “extra time” and “hands-on learning”.64.According to the first paragraph,the summer learning gap______.A.helps children to gain weightB.leads children to work harderC.improves children’s memoriesD.affects children’s regular studies65.Compared to traditional schools,students in the year-round ones________.A.perform better and have more learning gainsB.have much less time for relaxation every yearC.have generally the same number of class daysD.hold more classes with more free weeks off66.Which of the following statements is true?A.Students from poor families often fall behind after the vacation.B.Year-round schools can solve the problem of the learning gap.C.There are schools in each state following a year-round calendar.D.Nothing can help the students who fall behind after the vacation.67.Why did almost all parents dislike the term “summer school”?A.They cherish the children’s rights of freedom very much.B.They are worried about the quality of the “summer school”.C.They want their children to be forced to make up the gap.D.They can’t afford the further study during the vacation.DTo all of you at Chinese love links,I am 44 years old and never married.I have always wanted to find that perfect someone that I dream about.For about the last five years I have almost given up the hope of ever finding the one I truly wish to spend the rest of my life with.I have always tried to be a nice guy.I had found your website some four or five months before.I did not know what to expect.I don’t know how to speak Chinese and never thought truly of how I was to an Asian woman.Well,I had a lot of replies from some very nice and pretty women.I had a hard time finding only a couple to write to.But one stood out from the rest.She was cute,nice and seemed to hold a lot of the same values as I do.In a short time I had decided to write only to her.We communicated via e-mail 2~3 times a day and phone calls once or twice a week.I went and met her and her family only a week ago.Her name is Ying and she lives in Nanning.I found Nanning to be one of the most beautiful cities I had ever been to.We had even decided to marry and I wanted to bring her to the USA under the fiancee visa.Not only did she meet everything I had ever hoped to find in someone else but turned out to be what every woman should be like,at least the ones I have met.We plan to marry as soon as she is here and start a family together as neither of us has children but we both want them.So to anyone out there reading this,I can only say this:You may not find what you are looking for if you’re not honest with your partner and yourself.This site worked for me mostly because I was honest with something that I wanted in someone else.When I did find her,love can work even across the other side of the world,between language differences and cultural differences.I wish you all luck in finding your perfect match.I have finally found mine and wish to give all my thanks to those at Chinese love links to help make it happen.Sincerely yours,Arthur68.We can infer from the letter that Chinese love links is a website to________.A.help foreigners to travel in ChinaB.help both Chinese and foreigners to find one they want to marryC.help Chinese and foreigners make friendsD.receive letters from the USA69.Which of the following is TRUE about Arthur’s story?A.He was sure of finding a Chinese woman as his wife at first.B.He was determined to find a Chinese woman as his wife.C.He almost lost hope in finding a perfect wife until he found Ying.D.No women wrote to him before Ying.70.Ying stood out from the rest because________.A.she was a ChineseB.she had much in common with ArthurC.other women stopped writing to ArthurD.she was cute and nice and often phoned to Arthur第二节(共5 小题;每小题2分,满分10分)Most of us don’t like to think too much about rubbish.71.______However household waste is a major contributor to our planet’s waste problem.Like it or not,it needs to be managed if we are to have a brighter green future.When it comes to being responsible for our own rubbish,the best way to approach it is by following the three golden rules of waste management,or the ‘3Rs’—Reduce.Reuse and Recycle.“The order is important 72.________” says Eugene Tay,Director of Green Future Solutions in Singapore.“Recycling still affects the environment and should be done last after reduce and reuse.”But,when our efforts to reduce and reuse still result in an overflowing rubbish bin,the advantages of recycling cannot be ignored.“73.________” says Amy Ho,Managing Director of World Wide Fund For Nature in Singapore.“The damage to our environment could then be slowed down as a result.”Recycling is so important that we really have no excuse not to do the simplest of household tasks that will make a difference.“75.________” says Ho.“Starting with recycling grey water for gardening purposes to recycling materials such as glass,paper and iron—it all reduces the use of raw materials.”A.We put it in the bin and don’t think too far beyond that.B.The collective action of individuals can make a significant effect.C.It’s important for every household to make good use

calls,sending short messages and internet-surfing.In recently years,mobile phones have become popular with middle school students.Quite a few use it to keep in touch with their families and friends,and which,of course,was convenient.However,I don’t think it’s good to do so.In spite of the disadvantages mentioned above,student users often waste a lot of time chatting on the phone in his spare time.Some even use them to cheat exams.In addition,mobile phone bills cost students’ parents lot of money.第二节 书面表达(满分25分)(2010年烟台检测)从学校毕业,或上大学,或步入社会,毕业意味着前进、意味着选择。请以Graduation and Moving on为题,写一篇毕业感言。注意:1.毕业前活动:照相、留言等;2.心情及原因等。阶段评估答案第一部分 20.A第二部分21.D it作形式主语,真正的主语the way及后面的句子被后置。句意为“她总觉得自己比别人优越,这真让我讨厌”。22.B protect...from...意为“保护……不受……;使……免于”。句意为“伞最初并不是用来挡雨的,而是用来遮阳的”。23.D bare 光秃秃的,无遮蔽的;blank 空白的,指表面无字迹;hollow 空的,空心的,空虚的,指所描绘之物的中心是空的,也可指空虚的,空洞的;vacant 空的,未被占用的。句意为“你觉得这篇文章怎样?”“说实话,很空洞而且不值得一读”。24.D 本题考查强调句结构,被强调的是during the strong earthquake,用that。句意为“小男孩就是在那次强烈的城震中失去了父母成了孤儿的”。25.A have been to意为“去过某地”;have gone to意为“到某地去了”,根据句意“他去北京了。顺便问一下,你曾经去过那里吗?”可知答案为A。26.A 否定词nor意为“也不”,位于句首时句子用部分倒装语序。句意为“那边那个人是谁?”“我不认识,我也不想认识”。27.A 本句考查“介词+关系代词”的用法。介词during意为“在……的期间”,which time指代a week。句意为“雨持续下了一个星期,期间,许多房屋和田地被毁”。28.C be fully aware of意为“非常清楚;充分认识到”。句意为“谢谢,但是你不必要提醒我们,我们十分清楚形势的严峻性”。29.A 上句“我可以和简讲几句话吗?”根据答语中的“对不起”,可知“她正和一个朋友通电话”,是正在进行的动作,因此用现在进行时。30.C in place of意为“代替”;in spite of意为“不管;不顾”;in memory of意为“纪念……”;in honor of意为“向……表示敬意”。根据句意“为了纪念在汶川大地震中遇难的同胞,国务院决定将2008年5月19至21日定为全国哀悼日”,可知答案为C。31.A set off除了有“出发;动身”的意思外,还可做“使爆发;引起”讲。本句句意为“妈妈的来电勾起了她的思乡之情,她忍不住哭了”。32.D coincidence意为“巧合”;consequence意为“结果;影响”;confidence意为“信心”;conscience意为“良心;良知”。根据句意“为了不受良心的谴责,推销员把从老人那骗来的钱还给他了”,可知答案为D。33.A all in all意为“总的来说”;above all意为“首先;尤其是”;after all意为“毕竟”;first of all意为“首先”。根据句意“尽管陈老师有时候会发脾气,但总的来说她还是一位好老师”,可知答案为A。34.B Of course.意为“当然”;How come?意为“怎么会呢?为何?”;So what?意为“那又怎样?”;No wonder意为“毫无疑问”。上句“戴夫今天没上班”。根据答语后句“他不舒服吗?”可知答案为B。35.C of great value=very valuable意为“很有作用”,在句中作宾语补足语。句意为“你会发现《学生双语报》对你提高英语很有价值”。【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。不可否认,安装了全球定位系统(GPS)的手机可以跟踪孩子们的行踪,确保他们的安全。但再先进的设备也有它们的弊端,没有什么可以取代用关爱和信任建立起来的父母与孩子之间的亲密无间的关系。36.D let’s say意为“比如说”,用来表示举例说明。文章开头依据的句子结构比较复杂,that parents expecting the kids to have freedom and be safe have been looking for是定语从句,修饰先行词protection。在从句中,expecting the kids to have freedom and be safe是后置定语,修饰parents。37.C 由于孩子要与朋友骑自行车远行,所以要带上手机,“以防万一”需要帮助。38.A with Global Positioning Systems equipped on many mobile phones是介词with的复合结构,Global Positioning Systems (GPS)与equip之间是被动关系。意思是“很多手机都装有全球定位系统(GPS)”。39.D GPS的目的就是确定人的具体位置(定位)。此外,下一空后的location及其后的how to locate the concert都是线索提示。40.C 由于孩子随身携带的手机中安装了GPS,在一种特殊的服务下,可以跟踪他的“精确的”位置。41.B 上文提到一个男孩想与朋友远行,要携带安装有GPS的手机。所以此处也应是去比较远的地方,不然就不必携带这种手机了,因此要“开车”前去。下一段最后or leave it in their own car and drive with someone else也给出了明确暗示。42.B 由于手机中装有GPS,因而可以轻而易举地“辨认出”音乐会的具体位置。此处make out表示“辨认出”。43.A GPS是独立研发的高科技电子设备,在“附带”软件的帮助下,还可以对其行踪进行跟踪。44.C GPS的目的就是确定人的具体位置,因而是“跟踪”她的行踪。45.B 不过,“这样的”跟踪设备有时也有弊端。此处是such...as...结构,as we all consider useful是定语从句,修饰先行词tracking devices,关系代词as在从句中做consider的宾语。46.D 上文讲的是GPS的优点,根据本句的however可知表示转折,所以此处是“缺点”。47.B 如果孩子骑车途中急需帮助,等到有人发现他们时,也许已经太晚了。故用it做形式主语。48.B 如果她们愿意,去音乐会的女孩们可以偏离事先“确定的”路线,即摆脱别人对她们的跟踪。49.C 她们开车来到音乐会是为了观看“演出”。50.A 手机及其配套程序是“保证”孩子安全的工具。51.A 根据but一词可知此处意思发生了转折,因而是否定意义。never本身是否定词,与all连用,表示不完全否定,即“并非都”。52.C under no circumstances表示“在任何情况下都不”,本身表示否定含义,所以用anything。含有否定意思的介词短语位于句首时句子需要倒装。53.B based on表示“以……为基础”,based on love and trust是后置定语,修饰relationship。54.C 上一段提到手机并非十全十美的工具,所以假如你决定让孩子使用这些设备,不要“仅仅”依赖它们对孩子实施保护。55.D 诚然,孩子需要你的照顾,但即使有诸如GPS的高“科技”设备监护孩子,也永远无法取代你用身心去关爱、保护他们。第三部分56.A 细节理解题。第一段提到青少年用一个字去回答父母的问题是很平常的事,第二段接着说到这意味着他们详尽地给父母描述他们做了些什么事情的日子已经一去不复返了,因此可判断A为正确选项。57.A 推理判断题。从第二段They are breaking away from you so that they’ll be able to stand on their own as a young adult和第三段But in order to determine who they are right now,they need to separate from you等处可推出作者认为孩子们的这种行为反映出他们的自主和独立意识。58.C 段落大意题。最后一段主要谈论的是父母要向孩子敞开心扉。只有让孩子融入你的生活,孩子才会让你走进他们的生活。59.A 写作意图题。作者在第一段提出问题,然后对此问题进行了分析,最后作者向父母提出了面对这一问题该如何处理的一些建议,故选A。60.C 细节理解题。因为作者无法出示收据,所以保安不相信她,要带她去见经理。61.A 推理判断题。作者的朋友站在一边大笑着,反映了她们根本不相信朋友会偷东西,只是觉得这件事情好玩而已。62.B 细节理解题。从倒数第二段可知出纳员买了和作者一样的东西,最终是出纳员帮她解了围。63.D 推理判断题。从最后一段的I made a promise that day never to accuse someone of something without proof可知作者明白了在没有证据的情况下不要去怀疑他人。64.D 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“Put simply,it means the longer kids are out of school,the more they forget”可知,summer learning gap会影响孩子们的学习,使他们遗忘学过的内容。65.C 细节理解题。根据文章第三段首句可以看出,在两种不同类型的学校,在两种不同的休假方式下,学生在课程的数量上是相同的。66.A 细节判断题。根据文章第四段首句中的“research shows that students from poor families fall farther behind over...”可知选项A的叙述正确。67.A 细节理解题。从文章的最后一段可以看出,许多家长不喜欢“summer school”这个词是因为在美国文化中假期里孩子们不应该去上学(school),而应该去享受童年的自由和乐趣。68.B 推理判断题。作者虽然已过不惑之年,可多年来一直未找到自己的意中人。后来,作者在Chinese love links找到了梦寐以求的对象,由此可判断这是一个给中外人士寻找伴侣牵线搭桥的网站。69.C 细节理解题。根据第一段的后半部分可知作者在找到红颜知己前几乎放弃了能够遇到完美对象的希望。前两项在文中没有信息支持;根据第三段的开头部分可排除D项。70.B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“She was cute,nice and seemed to hold a lot of the same values as I do.”可知作者之所以看中了她是因为她不但外貌美丽,而且与作者的价值观有很多共同之处,彼此情投意合。第四部分Mobile phones are being more eq \o(wide,\s\do6(widely)) used.They’re light eq

variety of activities,like taking pictures,leaving encouraging words to one another in memory of our friendship,or giving presents to our teachers to express our thanks and respect.However,I have mixed emotions about moving on.I want to stay and have more fun with my friends,but I will hate to move on.Graduation means taking a step forward.Thus I can learn more and will be more skilled and experienced.Graduation is coming whether we are ready or not.Let’s make efforts so that our dream will come true.
