One of the hardest parts of planning a trip to Hawaii is deciding which of the major Hawaiian Islands you should visit. Each has its own personality and offers unique adventures and activities.
Oahu
Oahu has a bit of everything, packed in 597 square miles. You can hike into thick rainforests, and when you need a break, relax on powdery white sand beaches and stay at luxury resorts.
Oahu has become a great destination for families. The urban core （核 心）of Honolulu and Waikiki has historic sites, museums and bustling （熙熙攘攘的）and nightlife scenes. The island lives up to its nickname of the Gathering Place.
Maui
Maui is a great island for honeymooners. The Valley Isle has top-class resorts and golf courses, adjacent （毗邻）to some of the state's best beaches. A large dormant （休眠）volcano in east Maui at sunrise or sunset is a serene experience, as well as driving the Road to Hana, famed for its thundering waterfalls.
Kauai
Kauai is the oldest of the main Hawaiian Islands. The island gets a lot of rain, but that's what makes it so lively, you'll come across flowers and plants you've never seen before. For some of the best views on the island, visit Waimea Canyon, known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, and the Na Pali coast, boasting some of the world's highest sea cliffs.
Big Island
The Big Island is the only Hawaiian island still growing. Witness the power of Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of fire, wind, lightning and volcanoes with a visit to the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. It's one of the few spots in the world where you can see lava flow. In fact, the Big Island has 10 of the world's sub-climate zones, from the snow-covered mountain of Mauna Kea, green forests of Waipio Valley to stretches of barren desert.
1. Which is young couples' favorite?
A. Oahu. B. Maui.
C. Kauai. D. Big Island.
2. How is Oahu different from the other places?

I attended a party one night. During the dinner a man told a humorous story based on the quotation: "There's a divinity that shapes our ends, rough-hew them how we will.”
The storyteller mentioned that the quotation was from the Bible. I knew he was wrong. There couldn't be the slightest doubt about it. To get a feeling of importance and display my superiority, I appointed myself as an unwelcome committee member to correct him. He stuck to his guns. "What? From Shakespeare? Impossible! Absurd! That quotation was from the Bible.” And he knew it.
The storyteller was sitting on my right; and Frank Gammond, an old friend of mine, was seated on my left. Mr. Gammond had devoted years to the study of Shakespeare. So the storyteller and I agreed to submit the question to Mr. Gammond. Mr. Gammond listened, kicked me under the table, and then said,"Dale, you are wrong. The gentleman is right. It is from the Bible."
On our way home that night, I said to Mr. Gammond, “Frank, you knew that quotation was from Shakespeare. "Yes, of course," he replied, “Hamlet，Act Five, Scene Two. But we were guests at a happy time, my dear Dale. Why argue with the storyteller? Why prove to him he is wrong? Why not let him save his face? Always avoid your sharp angle." I learned a lesson I'll never forget. I not only had made the storyteller uncomfortable, but also had put my friend in an embarrassing situation. How much better it would have been had I not become argumentative.
Nine times out of ten, an argument ends with each of the contestants more firmly convinced than ever that he is absolutely right. You can't win an argument. You can't because if you lose it, you lose it; and if you win it, you lose it
4. What did the author do to get a feeling of importance at the party?
A. Tell a humorous story. B. Show off his rich knowledge.
C. Teach the storyteller a lesson. D. Correct the storyteller's mistake.
5. . Why did Frank Gammond kick the author under the table?
A. Because he didn't know much about the Bible.
B. Because he thought the author was really wrong.
C. Because he was thoughtful and wanted to stop the author.
D. Because he was humorous and played tricks on the author .
6. How did the author feel about the event that happened at the party?
A. Thankful. B. Regretful.
C. Satisfied, D. Confused.
7. What can be the suitable title for the passage?
A. You Can't Win an Argument B. You Can't Make Mistakes in Public
C. Do Have an Open Mind D. Mind Your Manners at a Party
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. A

C
Almost every day we come across situations in which we have to make decisions one way or another. Choice, we are given to believe, is a right. But for a good many people in the world, in rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, something wonderful but hard to get, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion, a false idea created by companies and advertisers, hoping to sell their products .
'The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in people's lives. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple. Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away, or just buying an unsuitable item that is not really wanted. Recent studies in England have shown that many electrical goods bought in almost every family are not really needed. More difficult decision-making is then either avoided or trusted into the hands of the professionals, lifestyle instructors, or advisors.
It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed with which new types of products come on the market. Advances in design and production help quicken the process. Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The typical example is computers, which are almost out-of-date once they are bought. This indeed makes selection a problem. Gone are the days when one could just walk with ease into a shop and buy one thing; no choice, no anxiety.
8. What does the author try to argue in Paragraphi?
A. The practice of choice is difficult
B. The right of choice is given but at a price.
C. Choice and right exist at the same time.
D. The exercise of rights is a luxury.
9. Why do more choices of goods give rise to anxiety?
A. People are likely to find themselves overcome by business persuasion
B. Shoppers may find themselves lost in the broad range of items.
C. Companies and advertisers are often misleading about the range of choice.
D. Professionals find it hard to decide on a suitable product.
10. By using computers as an example, the author wants to prove that
A. products of the latest design flood the market
B. competitions are fierce in high-tech industry
C. everyday goods need to be replaced often
D. advanced products meet the needs of people
11. What is this passage mainly about?
A. The opinions on people's right in different countries.
B. The problems about the availability of everyday goods.
C. The helplessness in purchasing decisions.
D. The variety of choices in modem society.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】
几乎每天我们都会遇到这样的情况，我们不得不以某种方式做出决定。但对世界上许多人来说，在富裕和贫穷的国家，选择是一种奢侈，是一种美妙但很难得到的东西，而不是一种权利。随着社会的进步，一个人可以轻松地走进一家商店买一件东西的日子已经一去不复返了，没有选择，没有焦虑。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“ But for a good many people in the world，in rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, something wonderful but hard to get, not a right. ”但对世界上许多人来说，在富裕和贫穷的国家，选择是一种奢侈，是一种美妙但很难得到的东西，而不是一种权利。可知，选择的实践过程是很难的。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away, or just buying an unsuitable item(商品) that is not really wanted.”容易获得广泛的日常商品导致许多人的无力感，结束在顾客放弃和离开，或者只是买一个不是真正想要的不合适的商品。可知，购物者可能会发现自己在各种各样的商品中损失了。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Advances in design and production help quicken the process. Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The typical example is computers, which are almost out-of-date once they are bought. ”可知，日益更新的产品源源不断地涌入市场，尤其电脑产品更是如此。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。A项为“现代社会中选择的多样性”；B项为“在不同国家关于人民权利的不同看法”；C项为“关于日用品使用的一些问题”，这些都不符合原文中心，D项为“购买决定的无助感”，符合文章主题，故选C。
D
Have you ever spent an afternoon in the backyard，maybe grilling or enjoying a basketball game, when suddenly you notice that everything goes quiet? There is an old phrase “calm before the storm",often used in a situation—a quiet period just before a great activity or. excitement. According to our own experience, we know there is actually calm before the storm. But what causes this calm? And is it always calm before the storm? Let's hear what scientists have to say..
A period of calm happens in a particular kind of storm, the simplest kind of storm—a single-cell thunderstorm. In this type of thunderstorm, there is usually only one main updraft, which is warm, damp air and drawn from places near the ground. Storms need warm and damp air as fuel, so they typically draw that air in from surrounding environment. Storms can draw in the air that fit their need from all directions—even from the direction in which the storm is traveling.
As the warm, damp air is pulled into a storm system, it leaves a low-pressure vacuum（真 空）coming after. The rising air meets the cold dry air that has already existed in the storm clouds, thus the temperature of the warm, damp air drops, and the water vapour（水蒸汽）in it changes into tiny drops that are a precondition of rain. These drops accumulate and build on larger particles like dust, until they grow large enough to form raindrops.
This warm, damp air keeps moving upwards, but it becomes cooler and drier during its trip through cloud. When it reaches the top of the cloud, the air gets spit out（被挤出）at the top. This air is sent rolling out over the big thunderclouds. From there, the air goes down. Warm and dry air is relatively stable, and once it covers a region, that air, in turn, causes the calm before a storm.
Most thunderstorms, though, don't start with calm. That's because most are actually groups of storms with complex wind patterns. There's so much air moving up and down storm groups that the calm before the storm never happens. Instead, before the storm,让 might be really windy!
12. Which best fits the description of a particular kind of storm?
A. A thunderstorm with a single shape.
B. A thunderstorm without strong winds.
C. A storm with air drawn from every directi on.
D. A storm fueled by moving air from the ground.
13. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Cold and dry air. B. Warm and dry air.
C. Cold and damp air. D. Warm and damp air.
14. Which does the writer most likely agree to?
A. Presence of the calm relies on stable air.
B. Not all thunderstorms start with the calm.
C. The drier the air is, the bigger the storm will be.
D. Storm happens without air moving up and down.
15. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Causes and effects of a heavy storm.
B. A brief description of a peaceful storm.
C. A personal experience of a heavy storm.
D. An explanation of the calm before a storm.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【分析】
本文为自然现象类说明文。文章揭秘暴风雨来临前的宁静这一神秘自然现象。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。第二段中特定的暴风雨指的是一种简单的单细胞雷暴。而并非指简单形状，故排除A。根据第二段最后一句Storms can draw in the air that fit their need from all directions—even from the direction in which the storm is traveling.可知雷暴能够从周围任何一个方向吸进自己所需的暖湿空气。故选C。
【13题详解】
代词指代题。第三段中The rising air meets the cold dry air that has already existed in the storm clouds, thus the temperature of the warm, damp air drops, and the water vapour(水蒸汽) in it changes into tiny drops that are a precondition of rain.提到由于暖湿空气被吸进雷暴中，雷暴经过之处就形成了低气压真空带。正在上升的暖湿气流遇到雷暴云层中原本就存在的干燥冷空气，此时暖湿空气的温度下降，暖湿空气中的水分凝结成小的水滴，这就是雨水形成的前提。所以可知，代词it代指“暖湿空气”。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段Most thunderstorms, though, don't start with calm.可知大多数的雷暴来临前并不是一片宁静。而当有很多气流频繁上下流动时，暴风雨来临前毫无平静可言可知C、D不正确。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段There is an old phrase “calm before the storm”， often used in a situation—a quiet period just before a great activity or excitement. According to our own experience, we know there is actually calm before the storm. But what causes this calm? And is it always calm before the storm? Let's hear what scientists have to say.及全文内容可知，文章主要揭秘暴风雨来临前的宁静这一神秘自然现象。故选D。
【点睛】考查阅读理解主旨大意题时，需要注意排除绝对化或片面的选项，要放眼全文，从首段和末段寻找文章的主旨大意。小题4就是根据文章首段第一段There is an old phrase “calm before the storm”， often used in a situation—a quiet period just before a great activity or excitement. According to our own experience, we know there is actually calm before the storm. But what causes this calm? And is it always calm before the storm? Let's hear what scientists have to say.及全文内容可知，文章主要揭秘暴风雨来临前的宁静这一神秘自然现象。

这是一篇哲理感悟类文章。文章通过介绍一位女士用闹钟喊她起床的故事，感悟道德心也是如此，如果我们听从它的声音，即使是最小的事情，我们也能清晰和强烈地听到它。
【41题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：这些闹钟做得很好，只要主人愿意，随时都能发出很大的声响。so…as to意为“如此……以至于”，故填to strike。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意：闹钟完美地完成了它的职责。因此用副词修饰动词did，故填perfectly。
【43题详解】
考查时态。本篇文章用一般过去时，此处她的动作也用谓语动词的一般过去时，故填rose。
【44题详解】
考查副词。前文提到“felt better all day”，但后文又提到“the lady grew tired of early rising.”，此处应表示句子关系的转折，故填However。

【47题详解】

【48题详解】
考查介词搭配。So it is with=So it is the same with，意为“……也是如此，这样”， 故填with。
【49题详解】

第四部分写作(共两节，满分35分)

It was a rain and cold night. I finish my evening classes and was about to go back to my house I got into a taxi and told the driver my destination. To my surprise, the driver made an apology, says he didn't know the way. What come a taxi driver didn't know the way? I was a little of angry. At the moment, an old couple stopped our car. Their destination was the same as me, so he let them in. The two greeted us but the grandpa told the driver the way. From their conversation I knew the driver was a fanner and he had become a taxi driver just for three days.
I'm also new to Chengdu. Sometimes I make direction mistakes, but there is always someone can help me. It was cold outside, but I felt real warm.
【答案】1. rain→rainy
2. finish→finished
3. says→saying
4. What→How
5. 删除 of
6. me→mine
7. but→and
8. become→been
9. who 添入
10. real→really
【解析】
【分析】
本文是记叙文，叙述了作者在一个寒冷下雨的晚上，上了一辆出租车，结果司机不认识路，作者感到不愉快，这时，有一对老夫妻也上了同一辆车，这位老人告诉了司机路线，原来这位司机三天前才开始工作。
【详解】第一处：考查形容词。句意：那是个寒冷的雨夜。and后是形容词cold，修饰后面的名词，所以and前后都应该用形容词，rain是名词，rainy形容词。故答案为：rain→rainy。
第二处：考查动词时态。句意：我上完了课。and was about to go back可知，and后用的一般过去时，and前也是叙述的过去的事，所以finish也用一般过去时。故答案为：finish→finished。
第三处：考查非谓语动词。句意：令我惊讶的是，司机道歉说他不认识路。句子没有连词，已经有谓语动词made，所以says应该变为非谓语动词，句子的主语the driver与say之间是主动关系，所以应该用saying，故答案为：says→saying。
第四处：考查名词。句意：出租车司机怎么会不认识路呢？句式：How come是固定搭配,意为：怎么会?怎么回事?怎么搞的?它和Why一样,可以用来引导一个问句。所不同的是，如果用How come来提问,就表示你觉得某件事很奇怪,有点想不通；并且以How come开头的问句使用的仍是陈述句的语序。如：How come you didn't tell me earlier ? (=Why didn't you tell me earlier ?) 你怎么不早点儿告诉我?另外,以How come开头的问句有时也可说成:How comes it (about) that ? / How is it that ? 如：How comes it that you're so late? (=How is it that you're so late?) 你为什么来得这么迟?故答案为：What→How。
第五处：考查短语。句意：我有点生气。a little修饰形容词angry。故答案为：删除 of。
第六处：考查代词。句意：他们的目的地和我的一样，所以他让他们上车了。The same as相比较的对象应该是同类的，应该是他们的目的地与我的目的地相比，me指人，mine=my destination。故答案为：me→mine。
第七处：考查连词。句意：两个人向我们打招呼，爷爷给司机指路。这里前后句是并列关系，不是转折关系。故答案为：but→and。
第八处：考查动词。句意：他刚当了三天的出租车司机。根据时间状语for+时间段，所以谓语动词应该用持续性动词，become是非持续性动词，变成be表示状态的词。时态用现在完成时。故答案为：become→been。
第九处：考查定语从句关系词。句意：有时我在方向上犯错误，但总有人会帮助我。someone是先行词，指人，缺少定语从句的关系词，关系词在定语从句中作主语，所以不能省略，所以在someone后加关系词who，故答案为：who。
第十处：考查名词。句意：外面很冷，但我觉得很暖和。felt是感官动词，后跟形容词warm，形容词前用副词来修饰，real是形容词，really副词，修饰形容词warm。故答案为：really。
【点睛】定语从句的关系词的选择：
(1) 一看先行词的意义，即分清先行词是指人、指物、时间、地点还是原因(如指物时不能用who或whom，指人时通常不用which等)。
(2) 二看关系词的句法功能，即分清关系词是担任什么句子成分，是作主语还是宾语、是作定语还是状语等(如作定语通常用whose；作状语要用when, where, why)；
(3) 三看定语从句的种类，即分清是限制性定语从句还是非限制性定语从句(如that和why通常不引导非限制性定语从句)。第九处：考查定语从句关系词。句意：有时我在方向上犯错误，但总有人会帮助我。someone是先行词，指人，缺少定语从句的关系词，关系词在定语从句中作主语，所以不能省略，所以在someone后加关系词who，故答案为：who.

One of the hardest parts of planning a trip to Hawaii is deciding which of the major Hawaiian Islands you should visit. Each has its own personality and offers unique adventures and activities.
Oahu
Oahu has a bit of everything, packed in 597 square miles. You can hike into thick rainforests, and when you need a break, relax on powdery white sand beaches and stay at luxury resorts.
Oahu has become a great destination for families. The urban core （核 心）of Honolulu and Waikiki has historic sites, museums and bustling （熙熙攘攘的）and nightlife scenes. The island lives up to its nickname of the Gathering Place.
Maui
Maui is a great island for honeymooners. The Valley Isle has top-class resorts and golf courses, adjacent （毗邻）to some of the state's best beaches. A large dormant （休眠）volcano in east Maui at sunrise or sunset is a serene experience, as well as driving the Road to Hana, famed for its thundering waterfalls.
Kauai
Kauai is the oldest of the main Hawaiian Islands. The island gets a lot of rain, but that's what makes it so lively, you'll come across flowers and plants you've never seen before. For some of the best views on the island, visit Waimea Canyon, known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, and the Na Pali coast, boasting some of the world's highest sea cliffs.
Big Island
The Big Island is the only Hawaiian island still growing. Witness the power of Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of fire, wind, lightning and volcanoes with a visit to the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. It's one of the few spots in the world where you can see lava flow. In fact, the Big Island has 10 of the world's sub-climate zones, from the snow-covered mountain of Mauna Kea, green forests of Waipio Valley to stretches of barren desert.
1. Which is young couples' favorite?

I attended a party one night. During the dinner a man told a humorous story based on the quotation: "There's a divinity that shapes our ends, rough-hew them how we will.”
The storyteller mentioned that the quotation was from the Bible. I knew he was wrong. There couldn't be the slightest doubt about it. To get a feeling of importance and display my superiority, I appointed myself as an unwelcome committee member to correct him. He stuck to his guns. "What? From Shakespeare? Impossible! Absurd! That quotation was from the Bible.” And he knew it.
The storyteller was sitting on my right; and Frank Gammond, an old friend of mine, was seated on my left. Mr. Gammond had devoted years to the study of Shakespeare. So the storyteller and I agreed to submit the question to Mr. Gammond. Mr. Gammond listened, kicked me under the table, and then said,"Dale, you are wrong. The gentleman is right. It is from the Bible."
On our way home that night, I said to Mr. Gammond, “Frank, you knew that quotation was from Shakespeare. "Yes, of course," he replied, “Hamlet，Act Five, Scene Two. But we were guests at a happy time, my dear Dale. Why argue with the storyteller? Why prove to him he is wrong? Why not let him save his face? Always avoid your sharp angle." I learned a lesson I'll never forget. I not only had made the storyteller uncomfortable, but also had put my friend in an embarrassing situation. How much better it would have been had I not become argumentative.
Nine times out of ten, an argument ends with each of the contestants more firmly convinced than ever that he is absolutely right. You can't win an argument. You can't because if you lose it, you lose it; and if you win it, you lose it
4. What did the author do to get a feeling of importance at the party?
A. Tell a humorous story. B. Show off his rich knowledge.
C. Teach the storyteller a lesson. D. Correct the storyteller's mistake.
5. . Why did Frank Gammond kick the author under the table?
A. Because he didn't know much about the Bible.
B. Because he thought the author was really wrong.
C. Because he was thoughtful and wanted to stop the author.
D. Because he was humorous and played tricks on the author .
6. How did the author feel about the event that happened at the party?
A. Thankful. B. Regretful.
C. Satisfied, D. Confused.
7. What can be the suitable title for the passage?
A. You Can't Win an Argument B. You Can't Make Mistakes in Public

C
Almost every day we come across situations in which we have to make decisions one way or another. Choice, we are given to believe, is a right. But for a good many people in the world, in rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, something wonderful but hard to get, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion, a false idea created by companies and advertisers, hoping to sell their products .
'The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in people's lives. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple. Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away, or just buying an unsuitable item that is not really wanted. Recent studies in England have shown that many electrical goods bought in almost every family are not really needed. More difficult decision-making is then either avoided or trusted into the hands of the professionals, lifestyle instructors, or advisors.
It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed with which new types of products come on the market. Advances in design and production help quicken the process. Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The typical example is computers, which are almost out-of-date once they are bought. This indeed makes selection a problem. Gone are the days when one could just walk with ease into a shop and buy one thing; no choice, no anxiety.
8. What does the author try to argue in Paragraphi?
A. The practice of choice is difficult
B. The right of choice is given but at a price.
C. Choice and right exist at the same time.
D. The exercise of rights is a luxury.
9. Why do more choices of goods give rise to anxiety?
A. People are likely to find themselves overcome by business persuasion
B. Shoppers may find themselves lost in the broad range of items.
C. Companies and advertisers are often misleading about the range of choice.
D. Professionals find it hard to decide on a suitable product.
10. By using computers as an example, the author wants to prove that
A. products of the latest design flood the market
B. competitions are fierce in high-tech industry
C. everyday goods need to be replaced often
D. advanced products meet the needs of people
11. What is this passage mainly about?
A. The opinions on people's right in different countries.
B. The problems about the availability of everyday goods.
C. The helplessness in purchasing decisions.
D. The variety of choices in modem society.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】
几乎每天我们都会遇到这样的情况，我们不得不以某种方式做出决定。但对世界上许多人来说，在富裕和贫穷的国家，选择是一种奢侈，是一种美妙但很难得到的东西，而不是一种权利。随着社会的进步，一个人可以轻松地走进一家商店买一件东西的日子已经一去不复返了，没有选择，没有焦虑。
【8题详解】

Have you ever spent an afternoon in the backyard，maybe grilling or enjoying a basketball game, when suddenly you notice that everything goes quiet? There is an old phrase “calm before the storm",often used in a situation—a quiet period just before a great activity or. excitement. According to our own experience, we know there is actually calm before the storm. But what causes this calm? And is it always calm before the storm? Let's hear what scientists have to say..
A period of calm happens in a particular kind of storm, the simplest kind of storm—a single-cell thunderstorm. In this type of thunderstorm, there is usually only one main updraft, which is warm, damp air and drawn from places near the ground. Storms need warm and damp air as fuel, so they typically draw that air in from surrounding environment. Storms can draw in the air that fit their need from all directions—even from the direction in which the storm is traveling.
As the warm, damp air is pulled into a storm system, it leaves a low-pressure vacuum（真 空）coming after. The rising air meets the cold dry air that has already existed in the storm clouds, thus the temperature of the warm, damp air drops, and the water vapour（水蒸汽）in it changes into tiny drops that are a precondition of rain. These drops accumulate and build on larger particles like dust, until they grow large enough to form raindrops.
This warm, damp air keeps moving upwards, but it becomes cooler and drier during its trip through cloud. When it reaches the top of the cloud, the air gets spit out（被挤出）at the top. This air is sent rolling out over the big thunderclouds. From there, the air goes down. Warm and dry air is relatively stable, and once it covers a region, that air, in turn, causes the calm before a storm.
Most thunderstorms, though, don't start with calm. That's because most are actually groups of storms with complex wind patterns. There's so much air moving up and down storm groups that the calm before the storm never happens. Instead, before the storm,让 might be really windy!
12. Which best fits the description of a particular kind of storm?
A. A thunderstorm with a single shape.
B. A thunderstorm without strong winds.
C. A storm with air drawn from every directi on.
D. A storm fueled by moving air from the ground.
13. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Cold and dry air. B. Warm and dry air.
C. Cold and damp air. D. Warm and damp air.
14. Which does the writer most likely agree to?
A. Presence of the calm relies on stable air.
B. Not all thunderstorms start with the calm.
C. The drier the air is, the bigger the storm will be.
D. Storm happens without air moving up and down.
15. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Causes and effects of a heavy storm.
B. A brief description of a peaceful storm.
C. A personal experience of a heavy storm.
D. An explanation of the calm before a storm.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【分析】
本文为自然现象类说明文。文章揭秘暴风雨来临前的宁静这一神秘自然现象。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。第二段中特定的暴风雨指的是一种简单的单细胞雷暴。而并非指简单形状，故排除A。根据第二段最后一句Storms can draw in the air that fit their need from all directions—even from the direction in which the storm is traveling.可知雷暴能够从周围任何一个方向吸进自己所需的暖湿空气。故选C。
【13题详解】
代词指代题。第三段中The rising air meets the cold dry air that has already existed in the storm clouds, thus the temperature of the warm, damp air drops, and the water vapour(水蒸汽) in it changes into tiny drops that are a precondition of rain.提到由于暖湿空气被吸进雷暴中，雷暴经过之处就形成了低气压真空带。正在上升的暖湿气流遇到雷暴云层中原本就存在的干燥冷空气，此时暖湿空气的温度下降，暖湿空气中的水分凝结成小的水滴，这就是雨水形成的前提。所以可知，代词it代指“暖湿空气”。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段Most thunderstorms, though, don't start with calm.可知大多数的雷暴来临前并不是一片宁静。而当有很多气流频繁上下流动时，暴风雨来临前毫无平静可言可知C、D不正确。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段There is an old phrase “calm before the storm”， often used in a situation—a quiet period just before a great activity or excitement. According to our own experience, we know there is actually calm before the storm. But what causes this calm? And is it always calm before the storm? Let's hear what scientists have to say.及全文内容可知，文章主要揭秘暴风雨来临前的宁静这一神秘自然现象。故选D。
【点睛】考查阅读理解主旨大意题时，需要注意排除绝对化或片面的选项，要放眼全文，从首段和末段寻找文章的主旨大意。小题4就是根据文章首段第一段There is an old phrase “calm before the storm”， often used in a situation—a quiet period just before a great activity or excitement. According to our own experience, we know there is actually calm before the storm. But what causes this calm? And is it always calm before the storm? Let's hear what scientists have to say.及全文内容可知，文章主要揭秘暴风雨来临前的宁静这一神秘自然现象。

这是一篇哲理感悟类文章。文章通过介绍一位女士用闹钟喊她起床的故事，感悟道德心也是如此，如果我们听从它的声音，即使是最小的事情，我们也能清晰和强烈地听到它。
【41题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：这些闹钟做得很好，只要主人愿意，随时都能发出很大的声响。so…as to意为“如此……以至于”，故填to strike。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意：闹钟完美地完成了它的职责。因此用副词修饰动词did，故填perfectly。

第四部分写作(共两节，满分35分)

增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号(Λ),并在此符号下面写出该加的词。

It was a rain and cold night. I finish my evening classes and was about to go back to my house I got into a taxi and told the driver my destination. To my surprise, the driver made an apology, says he didn't know the way. What come a taxi driver didn't know the way? I was a little of angry. At the moment, an old couple stopped our car. Their destination was the same as me, so he let them in. The two greeted us but the grandpa told the driver the way. From their conversation I knew the driver was a fanner and he had become a taxi driver just for three days.
I'm also new to Chengdu. Sometimes I make direction mistakes, but there is always someone can help me. It was cold outside, but I felt real warm.
【答案】1. rain→rainy
2. finish→finished
3. says→saying
4. What→How
5. 删除 of
6. me→mine
7. but→and
8. become→been
9. who 添入
10. real→really
【解析】
【分析】
本文是记叙文，叙述了作者在一个寒冷下雨的晚上，上了一辆出租车，结果司机不认识路，作者感到不愉快，这时，有一对老夫妻也上了同一辆车，这位老人告诉了司机路线，原来这位司机三天前才开始工作。
【详解】第一处：考查形容词。句意：那是个寒冷的雨夜。and后是形容词cold，修饰后面的名词，所以and前后都应该用形容词，rain是名词，rainy形容词。故答案为：rain→rainy。
第二处：考查动词时态。句意：我上完了课。and was about to go back可知，and后用的一般过去时，and前也是叙述的过去的事，所以finish也用一般过去时。故答案为：finish→finished。
第三处：考查非谓语动词。句意：令我惊讶的是，司机道歉说他不认识路。句子没有连词，已经有谓语动词made，所以says应该变为非谓语动词，句子的主语the driver与say之间是主动关系，所以应该用saying，故答案为：says→saying。
第四处：考查名词。句意：出租车司机怎么会不认识路呢？句式：How come是固定搭配,意为：怎么会?怎么回事?怎么搞的?它和Why一样,可以用来引导一个问句。所不同的是，如果用How come来提问,就表示你觉得某件事很奇怪,有点想不通；并且以How come开头的问句使用的仍是陈述句的语序。如：How come you didn't tell me earlier ? (=Why didn't you tell me earlier ?) 你怎么不早点儿告诉我?另外,以How come开头的问句有时也可说成:How comes it (about) that ? / How is it that ? 如：How comes it that you're so late? (=How is it that you're so late?) 你为什么来得这么迟?故答案为：What→How。
第五处：考查短语。句意：我有点生气。a little修饰形容词angry。故答案为：删除 of。
第六处：考查代词。句意：他们的目的地和我的一样，所以他让他们上车了。The same as相比较的对象应该是同类的，应该是他们的目的地与我的目的地相比，me指人，mine=my destination。故答案为：me→mine。
第七处：考查连词。句意：两个人向我们打招呼，爷爷给司机指路。这里前后句是并列关系，不是转折关系。故答案为：but→and。
第八处：考查动词。句意：他刚当了三天的出租车司机。根据时间状语for+时间段，所以谓语动词应该用持续性动词，become是非持续性动词，变成be表示状态的词。时态用现在完成时。故答案为：become→been。
第九处：考查定语从句关系词。句意：有时我在方向上犯错误，但总有人会帮助我。someone是先行词，指人，缺少定语从句的关系词，关系词在定语从句中作主语，所以不能省略，所以在someone后加关系词who，故答案为：who。
第十处：考查名词。句意：外面很冷，但我觉得很暖和。felt是感官动词，后跟形容词warm，形容词前用副词来修饰，real是形容词，really副词，修饰形容词warm。故答案为：really。
【点睛】定语从句的关系词的选择：
(1) 一看先行词的意义，即分清先行词是指人、指物、时间、地点还是原因(如指物时不能用who或whom，指人时通常不用which等)。
(2) 二看关系词的句法功能，即分清关系词是担任什么句子成分，是作主语还是宾语、是作定语还是状语等(如作定语通常用whose；作状语要用when, where, why)；
(3) 三看定语从句的种类，即分清是限制性定语从句还是非限制性定语从句(如that和why通常不引导非限制性定语从句)。第九处：考查定语从句关系词。句意：有时我在方向上犯错误，但总有人会帮助我。someone是先行词，指人，缺少定语从句的关系词，关系词在定语从句中作主语，所以不能省略，所以在someone后加关系词who，故答案为：who.
