Five years ago,when I taught art at a school in Seattle,I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students.I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student,and said:“Make something out of the Tinkertoys.You have 45 minutes today-and 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week.”
A few students hesitated to start.They waited to see what the rest of the class would do.Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided.Another group built something out of their own imaginations.
Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time.His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home.I was delighted at the presence of such a student.Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work.His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students.
Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside.I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking.Without fail one would declare,“But I’m just not creative.”
“Do you dream at night when you’re asleep?”
“Oh,sure.”
“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.”The student would tell something wildly imaginative.Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads.“That’s pretty creative.Who does that for you?”
“Nobody.I do it.”
“Really-at night,when you’re asleep?”
“Sure.”
“Try doing it in the daytime,in class,okay?”

25.The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to 　　　. 
A.know more about the students
B.make the lessons more exciting
C.raise the students’ interest in art
D.teach the students about toy design
26.What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A.He liked to help his teacher.
B.He preferred to study alone.
C.He was active in class.
D.He was imaginative.
27.What does the underlined word “downside”in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Mistake.　　　　B.Drawback.　　　　C.Difficulty.　　　　D.Burden.
28.Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?
A.To help them to see their creativity.
B.To find out about their sleeping habits.
C.To help them to improve their memory.
D.To find out about their ways of thinking.

C
Reading can be a social activity.Think of the people who belong to book groups.They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them.Now,the website BookCrossing.com turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.
Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share.BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book.Then the person leaves it in a public place,hoping that the book will have an adventure,traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.
Bruce Pederson,the managing director of BookCrossing,says,“The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read.BookCrossing combines both.”
Members leave books on park benches and buses,in train stations and coffee shops.Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.
People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it.E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated about where their books have been found.Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.
BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟).The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.
29.Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?
A.To explain what they are.
B.To introduce BookCrossing.
C.To stress the importance of reading.
D.To encourage readers to share their ideas.
30.What does the underlined word “it”in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.The book. B.An adventure.
C.A public place. D.The identification number.
31.What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?
A.Meet other readers to discuss it.
B.Keep it safe in his bookcase.
C.Pass it on to another reader.
D.Mail it back to its owner.
32.What is the best title for the text?
A.Online Reading:A Virtual Tour
B.Electronic Books:A New Trend
C.A Book Group Brings Tradition Back
D.A Website Links People through Books

D
A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.
Frank Hurley’s pictures would be outstanding-undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism -if they had been made last week.In fact,they were shot from 1914 through 1916,most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海难),by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival.Many of the images were stored in an ice chest,under freezing water,in the damaged wooden ship.
The ship was the Endurance,a small,tight,Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists,27 men in all,to the southernmost shore of Antarctica’s Weddell Sea.From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇) across the continent.The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done.Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.
As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story TheEndurance,adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort.Scott’s last journey,completed as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger,caught the world’s imagination,and a film made in his honor drew crowds.Shackleton,a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908,started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography.Frank Hurley,a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic,was hired to make the images,most of which have never before been published.

33.What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?
A.They were made last week.
B.They showed undersea sceneries.
C.They were found by a cameraman.
D.They recorded a disastrous adventure.
34.Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?
A.Frank Hurley. B.Ernest Shackleton.
C.Robert Falcon Scott. D.Caroline Alexander.
35.What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage?
A.Artistic creation. B.Scientific research.
C.Money making. D.Treasure hunting.

Agardenthat’sjustrightforyou
Have you ever visited a garden that seemed just right for you,where the atmosphere of the garden appeared to total more than the sum(总和) of its parts?　36　.But it doesn’t happen by accident.It starts with looking inside yourself and understanding who you are with respect to the natural world and how you approach the gardening process. 
●　37　 
Some people may think that a garden is no more than plants,flowers,patterns and masses of color.Others are concerned about using gardening methods that require less water
and fewer fertilizers(肥料).　38　.However,there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden.One of them comes from our earliest years. 
●Recall(回忆) your childhood memories
Our model of what a garden should be often goes back to childhood.Grandma’s rose garden and Dad’s vegetable garden might be good or bad,but that’s not what’s important.　39　-how being in those gardens made us feel.If you’d like to build a powerful bond with your garden,start by taking some time to recall the gardens of your youth.　40　.Then go outside and work out a plan to translate your childhood memories into your grown-up garden.Have fun. 

A.Know why you garden
B.Find a good place for your own garden
C.It’s our experience of the garden that matters
D.It’s delightful to see so many beautiful flowers
E.Still others may simply enjoy being outdoors and close to plants
F.You can produce that kind of magical quality in your own garden,too
G.For each of those gardens,write down the strongest memory you have

27.B　词义猜测题　。根据文章第四段可知,鼓励孩子有这种想象力也会有不利的一面。要冒一定的风险　,可能会失去那些有不同思维方式的学生。必定有人会说“我就是没有创造力。”因此可以看出此段重在介绍上述这种做法存在的弊端　。因此B项正确。

七选五
【语篇导读】本文为说明文。搭建属于自己的花园,亲近自然,体验种植的快乐,重温童年时代美好的记忆。
36.F　此句为过渡句,承上启下　,根据下文的“But it　doesn’t happen by accident　.”可知,此处要表示自己也能创造出这种效果。故F项合适。
37.A　此处为标题句　,首先形式上要与第二个标题“Recall(回忆) your childhood memories　”相一致,因此答案在A与B两项之间选择,根据后面“However,there are a number of other reasons...”可知,此段主要介绍要了解自己种植的原因　。
38.E　此处为过渡句。根据开头提及的“Some people　 may think...”以及后面的“...other reasons　”可知,此处表示“也有另一部分人纯粹是喜欢待在室外亲近自然　。”故选E项。

46.D　此句承上启下　,根据前一句表示“电话的确如此强大　”以及but和下文作者的亲身经历可知,有时根据电话里对方的声音就加以判断,也会出现错误　。因此accurate“准确的;精确的”符合句意。
47.A　Rani是“我”素未谋面的一位旅行代理人,我从未见过其本人　。in person“本人;亲自”;by myself“单独;独自”;in public“公开”;on purpose“故意”。根据上下文可知A项正确。
48.A　根据But　可知,虽然她给我买到的飞机票等都是最便宜的,但是她的声音冷淡的令我十分不悦　。annoyed“生气的;不高兴的”;interested“感兴趣的”;discouraged“感到泄气的”;confused “感到困惑的”。根据句意选A项。注意体会作者的情感。
49.C　根据句意,她令我不高兴,我有时甚至会有换人　的想法。故find符合句意。
50.D　一天早上,我家里有急事,急需订票　。arrange“安排;整理”;postpone“推迟;延期”;confirm“确定;批准”;book“预订;预约”。根据句意选D项。注意动宾的意义搭配。
51.A　因事情紧急,我第一次　跑进了她的办公室。根据前文“faceless...never met”可知,此处表示“第一次”,故选for the first time。at any time“在任何时候”;from time to time“有时;不时”;in good time“及时地;迅速地”。
52.B　根据前文,已经面对面　相见了,此处表示“看到　我抓狂的样子,她同情地跳了起来。”故选seeing。
53.B　根据前面sympathetically“同情地”可知,看到我这个样子,她很理解,给我一个微笑,以示安慰　。故选comforting。
54.C　根据上下文,此处是已经成功订票,将机票　立刻打印出来。故选C项ticket。
55.C　根据语境,对方成功帮“我”订到机票,“我”自然要表示感激　。因此C项gratefully“感激地”符合句意。
56.D　根据后文“with a big smile on her face waving to wish me a safe trip”可知,作者看到的Rani是个可爱友善的　人,故只有D项pleasant符合句意。
57.D　当得知她就是我先前认为态度冷淡的Rani时,我惊呆　了,一时语塞　。speechless“无语的;说不出话来”符合语境。故选D项。
58.B　根据上下文,Rani根本不像我先前认为的那样冷漠无情,实际上她是如此的和善　。故选B项。和上文的cold形成强烈的对比。
59.C　根据上下文可知,作者现在亲眼所见,Rani待人友善　,而她的这些表现都是无声的,是不能通过电话线传达出来的。故friendliness符合语境。forgiveness“宽恕;原谅”;eagerness “热心”;skillfulness“灵巧;技巧”。
60.B　“我就在这里等着你”可以引申为“我随时乐意效劳”,这是Rani的一种乐于助人的处世态度　。explanation“解释;说明”;attitude“态度;看法”;concept“概念;观念”;behavior“行为;举止”。故只有B项正确。
语法填空
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。工作中人们总会面临多种责任与压力,有时退一步,分清轻重缓急,合理安排,劳逸结合,效率会更高,工作也会更加得心应手。
61.greater　考查形容词。根据后面and less　 importance可知此处要用比较级形式,故用greater。
62.achievement　考查名词。of为介词,后面用名词　形式。
63.is　考查谓语动词。根据前面的时态判断此处要用一般现在时　,且动词-ing形式作主语时　,谓语动词用单数　形式。
64.on　考查介词。focus on　“关注,聚焦”,为固定短语,因此填on。
65.as　考查连词。as...as possible　“尽可能……”,为固定短语。
66.studies　考查名词。根据后面的谓语动词show　可知,此处主语要用复数形式　,故用studies。
67.regularly　考查副词。此处修饰动词短语　take short breaks,故要用副词形式　。
68.a　考查冠词。for a while“一会儿”　,为固定搭配。
69.to bring　考查不定式。sb.be less likely to do sth.“某人不太可能做某事”,故此处要用不定式　。
70.make　考查祈使句。前面whatever it is引导让步状语从句,此处是一个完整句子　,因此只能用动词原形　放句首,构成祈使句。
短文改错
The summer holiday is coming.My classmates and I are talking about howwhat to do during the holiday.We can chosechoose between staying at home and taketaking a trip.If we stay at home,it is comfortable butand there is no need to spend money.But in that case,we will learn little about∧the world.If we go on a trip abroad,we can broaden yourour view and gain knowledgesknowledge we cannot get from books.Some classmates suggest we can或should go to places of interest nearby.I thoughtthink that it is a good idea.It does not cost manymuch,yet we can still learn a lot.
第一处:how→what　what作不定式中及物动词do的宾语　,而how作状语,故要用what。
第二处:chose→choose　情态动词后面要用动词原形　,故要用choose。
第三处:take→taking　根据前面的between...and...可知,此处表示并列　,故要用taking。
第四处:but→and　根据句意“如果我们待在家中,感觉会很舒服也没必要花钱。”此处表示并列关系　,而不是转折关系。
第五处:about后加上the　the world　“这个世界”,为固定短语。
第六处:your→our　前面主语为we　,故此处表示“开拓我们的　视野”。
第七处:knowledeges→knowledge　knowledge泛指“知识,学问”时,为不可数名词　,没有复数形式。
第八处:删掉can或是can→should　suggest表示“建议”时,后面的宾语从句要用虚拟语气,即从句中的谓语动词要用“should+动词原形　”,should可以省略　。
第九处:thought→think　文章通篇时态为一般现在时　,因此要将thought改为think。
第十处:many→much　many代指或修饰可数名词复数形式,much代指或修饰不可数名词,此处表示“花费的金钱”,是不可数名词　,故用much。
