文章大意：本文是一篇故事性的记叙文。文章为一则希腊神话，讲述了冥界之神哈德斯用抢夺的方式将珀尔赛弗涅变成他的妻子，从而使得珀尔赛弗涅的母亲在女儿回到身边时心情舒畅，大地回春，而在女儿离开自己返回冥界时心情悲伤、万物凋零的故事。

6．A．let out                  B．worked out 

C．thought out              D．found out

C．turn        D．case

答案：A　此处四个选项均可构成短语：in danger of处境危险，垂危；in hope of希望；in turn依次，轮流，不与of构成短语；in case of以防。句意：人们面临饿死的危险。根据语意可确定答案。

答案：B　得墨忒耳决定直到女儿被送回来时才让植物生长。

11．A．Persephone            B．Zeus  

C．Demeter               D．Hades

答案：B　从后文still not wanting to disappoint Hades以及结合前文来看，want动作应该是宙斯发出的。

C．marriage    D．journey

答案：A　宙斯为了不让哈德斯感到失望，于是允许珀尔赛弗涅回到母亲身边，但他为此设了一个条件。return返回。

13．A．stolen     B．found   

C．eaten       D．heard

14．A．understood             B．refused

C．why        D．how

答案：C　前文对植物为什么在某些时候不生长做出了解释。所以此处使用That is why．．．来总结前文。

Ⅴ．阅读理解

Pygmalion is a drama in which Shaw has made sentiments one of the principal themes of discussion．The Greek sculptor Pygmalion carved a statue and fell in love with it．Aphrodite ( the goddess of love) turned the statue into a living woman named Galatea，who then became Pygmalion's wife．

The Shavian Pygmalion is Henry Higgins，a professor of phonetics，who picks up a flower girl，Eliza Doolittle，teaches her to speak as educated people do，and then successfully passes_her_off_as a duchess．But she is a human being and cannot be treated as a machine．In the course of all his experiments and exhibitions，the professor only thinks of the success and failure of his own skills，but never stops to consider how the girl feels．When the experiment is over，he has a profound sense of relief that he has achieved triumph and has won his bet．Even now，the sentiment of the girl is of no account．The girl naturally protests against this dehumanized relationship between her and her teacher．She hurls the professor's slippers at him when he wants them and then leaves his place．But evidently，she has begun to feel for the professor and wants also to be felt for．

Now the question is what is the nature of Eliza's feelings for the professor with whom she has lived in close association for so long？ In the last act，the girl says she would not marry him even if he had proposed (求婚) to her．The professor，curiously ineffectual (无能的) to sexual emotions，does not love any girl because he finds her to be the rival ( 对手) to his mother．He wonders，if Eliza does not want to marry him，then what does she want from him？ Old Mrs．Higgins，who knows much about a woman says that it would have been better if he had thanked her and petted her and told her how wonderful she had been．Then perhaps she would not have fought with him．Every girl loves to be loved．Eliza herself says that she loves Freddy and he also loves her．Professor Higgins，however，remains as ever，an old bachelor．

文章大意：萧伯纳的著名戏剧《卖花女》具有经久不衰的艺术魅力，描写的是语音学教授如何训练一名卖花女并使她最终被上流社会认可的故事，从而抨击了当时英国腐朽保守的等级意识。

1．What does the underlined phrase “passes her off as” in Paragraph 2 mean？

A．let her pretend to be B．dress her up as

C．make her become D．turn into

答案：A　词义猜测题。根据前面的“．．．teaches her to speak as educated people do”以及下文中时“In the course of all his experiments．．．”可推断，画线部分的意思是“使她假装或冒充成为”。

2．What kind of person do you think Higgins is according to Paragraph 2？

A．He is a kind man． B．He is a considerate man．

C．He is a selfish man． D．He is a rude man．

答案：C　推理判断题。根据第二段第三句内容可知，Higgins只考虑自己的成败得失，从不考虑Eliza的感受，显然他是一个自私的人。

3．Eliza doesn't marry Higgins because________．

A．she does not love him

B．Higgins' mother does not like any girl to be her rival

C．Higgins likes to be a bachelor

D．Higgins does not love any girl for fear of her being his mother's rival

答案：D　细节理解题。根据最后一段第三句内容可知，Eliza不会嫁给Higgins，因为他担心未来的妻子会成为母亲的对手，所以不敢爱上任何一个女孩。

4．Which of the following statements is TRUE？

A．Shaw was in fact a Greek sculptor．

B．Henry Higgins is experimenting with Eliza Doolittle．

C．Eliza Doolittle wants to become an educated lady very much．

D．Henry Higgins falls in love with Eliza Doolittle at first sight．

答案：B　细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容可知，语音学教授Henry Higgins只是把卖花女Eliza Doolittle当成了实验品，故B项表述正确。

Ⅵ．七选五

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Hollywood movies are regularly filled with sex and violence．They can be exciting films but sometimes all you want is a little light­hearted entertainment．

Have you heard of Bollywood？ All singing，all dancing and unrealistic，it is the perfect alternative to normal Hollywood movies．Bollywood is the Indian film industry，based in Mumbai，formerly known as Bombay．__1__ Yet Bollywood is the largest producer of films in the world．This year the Indian Filmgare Awards，Bollywood's Oscars，turn 50 years old．

The typical Bollywood movie usually has the following ingredients： a cup of romance，a tea­spoon of comedy，a dash of international sight­seeing，served with a huge slice of singing and dancing．There will also be one brave hero，one beautiful heroine and one baddie．__2__

Bollywood films are full of ideal things and free of daily worries．__3__ The actors change clothes and locations within a single song．But the audience don't mind．To Indian movie lovers，especially the poor，such films are a gateway to heaven and the stars are their gods．The films take them to a magical world away from their everyday troubles．The films tell them the impossible is possible and that true love conquers all．

__4__ Behind the beautiful scenes，Bollywood still emphasizes traditional family values．In most films，if two lovers want to break an arranged marriage，they can't just run away．They must win over their parents．

Bollywood is a decent refreshing replacement for those over­stimulating Hollywood films．__5__ They will take you to a brighter，cheerier and more colorful world，where it's still cool to dance around a tree and sing a love song．

A．Bollywood has gradually won its reputation on the world stage．

B．There is never any mention of politics，poverty or war．

C．Most Chinese school kids have probably never seen an Indian film．

D．Bollywood films are mostly comic romances with light­hearted incidental music．

E．Bollywood pays great attention to traditional values．

F．The result is a fun­filled musical．

G．So if you're tired of all that Hollywood actions，check out the following Bollywood films．

1．__________　2．__________　3．__________

4．__________　5．__________

答案：

1．C　与下文句子的衔接。意思是：也许中国的学生从来没有看过印度电影，然而Bollywood才是世界上最大的电影产业基地。

2．F　对上文的总结。浪漫，幽默，伴有着轻音乐和优美的舞姿，里面有一个英雄和美丽的女主角，这完全是一个充满乐趣的音乐片，故答案应为F。

3．B　段落承上启下的理解。Bollywood电影充满了完美的东西免于日常的烦恼。所以在电影里不会涉及到政治，贫穷和战争。在段末提到电影会带他们到一个神奇的世界，让他们远离烦恼，真爱可以征服一切。

4．E　对总启句的理解。后文提到，在美丽的画面后面，Bollywood电影强调传统的家庭观念。由此可知，答案应为E，Bollywood电影更多的关注传统的价值观。

5．G　对上下文的理解。句意为：因此如果你厌倦于好莱坞的动作片时，就找一部Bollywood的电影看看吧，它会带你进入一个活泼的多彩的世界，唱着爱情歌曲围着树去跳舞也是很酷的。
