（1）such是形容词，它所修饰的名词可以是可数名词，也可以是不可数名词；名词前面可以带形容词，也可以不带。如果其后是单数可数名词，前面需加不定冠词a或an。因此，such…that…的句型结构可分为以下三种：
①such+a（n）(+adj.)+单数可数名词+that从句。如：

这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了什么是“新年决心”，以及它的起源等。
【11题详解】
考查动名词做宾语。句意：对很多英国人而言，如果新年意味着什么的话，它就是意味着翻开新篇章。mean doing作“意味着”讲，turn over a new leaf 意为“翻开新篇章，改过自新”，所以填turning做宾语。故填turning。
12题详解】

考查动词时态和语态。句意：巴比伦人被认为首次举行了有记载的新年庆祝。分析句子可知，The Babylonians是主语，believe做谓语，与主语之间是被动关系，且文章用的一般现在时态，所以要用一般现在时态的被动语态，故填are believed。
【15题详解】
考查过去分词。句意；12天的庆祝被称为Akitu，允许他们不仅显示自己对国王的忠诚，而且向诸神祈求偿还债务和归还借来的物品。分析句子可知。主语是The 12 day-long celebration，allowed是谓语，name要用非谓语形式作定语，且与逻辑主语The 12 day-long celebration是被动关系，要用过去分词形式。故填named。
【16题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：12天的庆祝被称为Akitu，允许他们不仅显示自己对国王的忠诚，而且向诸神祈求偿还债务和归还借来的物品。allow sb. to do sth意为“允许某人做某事”，故填to show。
【17题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：新年是所有的政府官员都发誓他们会遵守法律，支持城市领袖的时候。分析句子可知，先行词是a time，在从句中做时间状语，所以从句的关系词用when。故填when。
【18题详解】

III. Reading Comprehension (45分)
Section A(15分)
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D in each blank with the word or phrase that best fit the context.
When you say that someone has a good memory, what exactly do you mean? Are you saying that the person has fast recall or that he or she ___31___ information quickly? Or maybe you just mean that the person remembers a lot about her or his childhood. The truth is that it is ___32___ to say exactly what memory is. Even scientists who have been studying memory for decades say they are still trying to ___33___ exactly what it is. But we do know that a particular memory is not just one thing stored somewhere in the brain. ___34___ , a memory is made up of bits and pieces of information stored all over the brain. Perhaps the best way to ___35___ memory is to say that it is a process-a process of recording, storing, and getting back information. Practice and repetition can help to ___36___ the pieces that make up our memory of that information.
Memory can be negatively affected by a number of things. ___37___ nutrition can affect a person’s ability to store information. Excessive alcohol use can also ___38___ memory and cause permanent ___39___ to the brain over the long term. A vision or hearing problem may affect a person’s ability to notice certain things, thus making it ___40___ to register information in the brain.

You use your short-term memory to remember the number. Your short-term memory lasts about 30 seconds, or half a minute. ___42___ , you don’t need to look in the telephone book for your best friend’s number, because you already know it. This number is in your long-term memory, which ___43___ information about things you have learned and experienced through the years.
Why do you forget things sometimes? The major reason for forgetting something is that you did not learn it well enough ___44___. For example, if you meet some new people and right away forget their names, it is because you did not ___45___ the names at the first few seconds when you heard them.

There is often a great noise during an earthquake. The ground vibrates (震动). Houses fall down. Trains run off the lines. Sometimes, there is a heavy loss of human lives.
Earthquakes often happen near volcanoes, but this is not always true. The centers of some earthquakes are under the sea. The bottom of the sea suddenly moves. The powerful forces inside the earth break the rocks. The coast is shaken and great waves appear. These waves, also known as seismic waves(地震波), or tsunamis(海啸) can travel long distances and rush over the land when they reach it. They are strong enough to break down houses and other buildings. Very often fires follow the most serious earthquakes. In 1906, the numbers of fires were burning in the city. The water pipes were also shaken and broken, so it was not possible to put the fire out. There was no water. The Tokyo Earthquake of 1923 happened just before noon. People were cooking meals on their fires at that time. When the ground shook, the fires shook, too. Hot materials were thrown on the different parts of the houses, some of which were made of wood. Soon 134 fires were burning in the city.
What kind of building stands up best in an earthquake? A building with concrete walls is perhaps the best. A steel frame will make it even stronger. The frame holds the different parts together and the walls so not easily fall. There is less chance of fire because concrete and steel do not burn. Over the years, scientists studied the results of the earthquake in different parts of the world, and they are convinced that this kind of building is the safest.
46. What can we know about earthquake from the first paragraph?
A. Britain has large numbers of earthquake.
B. There is often a great noise during an earthquake.
C. There is a heavy loss of human lives in every earthquake.
D. Trains will not run off the lines during the earthquake.
47. Some of the undersea earthquakes were caused by ______.
A. the breakout of the volcano B. the seismic waves
C. the tsunami D. the powerful forces inside the earth
48. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. A building with concrete walls and a steel frame stands up best in an earthquake.
B. There is no chance of fire in a building with concrete walls.
C. Scientist studied the causes of the earthquake to get the conclusion.
D. A steel frame has no help in making the house stronger.
49. This text is probably a ______.
A. book review B. popular science report
C. newspaper ad D. fairy tale
【答案】46. B 47. D 48. A 49. B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章是关于地震的，介绍了地震发生的地区，地震波的威力，以及怎样的建筑抗震效果好的的等。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段There is often a great noise during an earthquake.可知地震期间会有巨大声响。故选B。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段The powerful forces inside the earth break the rocks.The coast is shaken and great waves appear. These waves, also known as seismic waves(地震波), or tsunamis(海啸) can travel long distances and rush over the land when they reach it. They are strong enough to break down houses and other buildings. Very often fires follow the most serious earthquakes.可知地球内部的强大力量能打碎巨石，海岸被摇动，巨浪出现。这些波，也被称为地震波，或海啸可以长途跋涉，当它们到达陆地时就会冲过陆地。它们足够强大，足以摧毁房屋和其他建筑物。火灾往往伴随着最严重的地震。所以一些海底地震是地球内部的力量造成的。故选D。
【48题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段What kind of building stands up best in an earthquake? A building with concrete walls is perhaps the best. A steel frame will make it even stronger.可知在震中什么样的建筑承受力最好？有混凝土墙的也许最好。钢架结构会更坚固。所以混凝土墙和钢架结构的建筑在地震中承受力最好。故选A。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段Now, let’s talk about earthquakes on our planet.可知，现在，我们来讨论一下我们星球上的地震。所以文章是关于地震的，在科学杂志上最可能读到。故选B。

The name of the race comes from the name of an Alaska gold rush town, Iditarod. It means “distant” or “distant place.” It comes from one of the languages of native Alaskans.
More than sixty sled teams begin the race in Anchorage. When the teams reach the outskirts(郊外) of town, they get a taste of Alaska’s wilderness. For about two weeks, they will fight the unbearable cold, wind, snow, and ice to complete the race. The temperature on the trail is often well below zero degrees. The Iditarod trail extends for about a thousand miles. It has many rendezvous points. At these meeting places, the race teams “check in” to let the officials know how they are doing. Some teams get into trouble along the way. Officials will stop them and give them the help they need. For example, officials might stop a team’s progress to give first aid, or to collect an injured or tired dog. These dogs are well cared for and will be reunited with their owners after the race.
The Iditarod trail is an important part of Alaska’s history. A part of the trail was used by some heroic dogs and humans in 1925. In Nome, Alaska, many people were catching the deadly disease Diphtheria. So the whole town was in quarantine, or isolation, in order to stop this disease. The only way to get medicine to Nome was by dogsled. About twenty "mushers, "or dogsled drivers, offered to help. They wanted to save the people of Nome from this terrible disease.
Today the Iditarod race shows honors to this special heroic journey and to all of the journeys on the famous trail. As the race organizers say, the Iditarod is “the last great race on Earth.”
53. Which of the following is TRUE about the Iditarod race?
A. It is held every year in the downtown streets in Anchorage.
B. It usually lasts about two weeks in freezing cold weather.
C. It is held to honor the gold seekers who once lived in Iditarod.
D. Its trail is totally different from the one used by some heroic dogs.
54. In the race, it’s possible for a seriously injured dog ______.
A. to finish the race unnoticed B. to meet its owner again
C. to work for a new owner D. to get timely treatment
55. When a town is in quarantine (in Paragraph 3), people in the town ______.
A. can get whatever they want easily B. have to exchange gold for medicine
C. are not allowed to go out freely D. will be remembered as heroes
56. The passage is mainly about ______.
A. life in Alaska B. a dogsled race of Alaska
C. a period of Alaska’s history D. heroic dogs and people in Alaska
【答案】53. B 54. D 55. C 56. B
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍的是阿拉斯加州的一种比赛——Iditarod。这个名字来自于阿拉斯加语，比赛在寒冷的天气状况下持续两周，是阿拉斯加历史很重要的一部分。
【53题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段For about two weeks, they will fight the unbearable cold, wind, snow, and ice to complete the race. The temperature on the trail is often well below zero degrees.可知大概两周的时间，他们与难以忍受的寒冷、大风、雪和冰抗争，来完成比赛。赛道上的温度常常在零下。所以Iditarod会在寒冷的天气里持续两周。故选B。
【54题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段Officials will stop them and give them the help they need. For example, officials might stop a team’s progress to give first aid, or to collect an injured or tired dog.可知官方会让他们停下来并提供他们需要的帮助。举例来说，主办方会让一只队伍停下来进行急救，或收集受伤或累坏的狗。所以，比赛中受伤严重的狗会得到及时的治疗。故选D。
55题详解】
推理判断题。由第三段the whole town was in quarantine, or isolation, in order to stop this disease.中的isolation, in order to stop this disease（隔离是为了阻止疾病）可以判断出quarantine的意思是“不允许自由出去”。故选C。
【56题详解】
主旨大意题。由第一段The name of the race comes from the name of an Alaska gold rush town, Iditarod.可知比赛的名字源自阿拉斯加淘金小镇，Iditarod。所以文章的关键词是race和Alaska；由第二段More than sixty sled teams begin the race in Anchorage.可知在Anchorage，超过6只雪橇队伍比赛，由第二段officials might stop a team’s progress to give first aid, or to collect an injured or tired dog.可知主办方会让一只队伍停下来进行急救，或收集受伤或急救的狗。所以是狗拖的雪橇比赛，关键词dogsled。因此文章的标题是“阿拉斯加的狗拖雪橇比赛”。故选B。
【点睛】选择标题在英语阅读理解题中属主旨大意题，是深层理解题，它要求考生在通读全文的基础上，认真分析主人公的特定心态、文章大意及作者的写作意图。通常情况下，标题具有概括性、针对性、醒目性的特点。所谓概括性，就是指标题应在最大程度上覆盖全文，囊括文章的主要内容，体现文章的主题。针对性是对标题外延的一种界定，标题要直接指向文章的主要特点。比如第四小题：由第一段The name of the race comes from the name of an Alaska gold rush town, Iditarod.可知比赛的名字源自阿拉斯加淘金小镇，Iditarod。所以文章的关键词是race和Alaska；由第二段More than sixty sled teams begin the race in Anchorage.可知在Anchorage，超过6只雪橇队伍比赛，由第二段officials might stop a team’s progress to give first aid, or to collect an injured or tired dog.可知主办方会让一只队伍停下来进行急救，或收集受伤或急救的狗。所以是狗拖的雪橇比赛，关键词dogsled。因此文章的标题是“阿拉斯加的狗拖雪橇比赛”。故选B。

【答案】Dear teachers,
I have many dreams and among which, to become a school reporter is a wonderful one as it gives chances to my talents in social skills and writing. That’s why I’d like to apply for the position of the school English newspaper.
I am not a most excellent student, though, I am the best candidate for the position. First of all, I have outstanding communication skills, which enable me to collect campus news more effectively. Next, my experience of serving in the school English writing club for two years has helped me accumulate a wealth of experience and source for writing. Third, I have strong sense of responsibility and are good at time management. Thus, I will be able to devote my time and effort as much as possible to work for the school English newspaper, apart from my schoolwork.
If I am given the chance to work as a school reporter, the first thing I will do is to set up the news network. I will place a mailbox on each floor of the teaching buildings so that every student can contribute their ideas or news. Then, I will decide on what ideas are worthwhile to follow up and carry out an interview. I will also try my best to make the school newspaper more appealing to readers, by upgrading the layout, adding more interesting columns, etc.
I’d appreciate it if you would grant my application. I’m looking forward to your reply at your earliest convenience.
Yours sincerely,
Leo

【详解】考查状语从句。句意：桂林是一个如此美丽的地方以至于世界各地的人都想去参观。such…that…意为“如此……以至于……”，可以用such+a\an (+adj.)+单数可数名词+that从句。故选C。
【点睛】such…that…与so…that…都可以用来引导结果状语从句，意为“如此……以致……”。
（1）such是形容词，它所修饰的名词可以是可数名词，也可以是不可数名词；名词前面可以带形容词，也可以不带。如果其后是单数可数名词，前面需加不定冠词a或an。因此，such…that…的句型结构可分为以下三种：
①such+a（n）(+adj.)+单数可数名词+that从句。如：
She is such a good teacher that all of us love and respect her.她是一位很好的老师，我们都敬爱她。
Table tennis is such an interesting game that people all over the world play it.乒乓球是一项很有趣的运动，以致全世界的人都参加这项运动。
②such(+adj.)+复数可数名词+that从句。如：
They are such interesting books that I want to read them once more.这些书非常有趣，我想再读一遍。
③such(adj.)+不可数名词+that从句。如：
It was such bad weather that I had to stay at home.天气太坏，以致我不得不呆在家里。
（2）so是副词，与形容词或副词连用，其结构是：so+adj.(adv.)+that从句。如：

这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了什么是“新年决心”，以及它的起源等。
【11题详解】
考查动名词做宾语。句意：对很多英国人而言，如果新年意味着什么的话，它就是意味着翻开新篇章。mean doing作“意味着”讲，turn over a new leaf 意为“翻开新篇章，改过自新”，所以填turning做宾语。故填turning。
12题详解】

考查动词时态和语态。句意：巴比伦人被认为首次举行了有记载的新年庆祝。分析句子可知，The Babylonians是主语，believe做谓语，与主语之间是被动关系，且文章用的一般现在时态，所以要用一般现在时态的被动语态，故填are believed。

【16题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：12天的庆祝被称为Akitu，允许他们不仅显示自己对国王的忠诚，而且向诸神祈求偿还债务和归还借来的物品。allow sb. to do sth意为“允许某人做某事”，故填to show。
【17题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：新年是所有的政府官员都发誓他们会遵守法律，支持城市领袖的时候。分析句子可知，先行词是a time，在从句中做时间状语，所以从句的关系词用when。故填when。

Section A(15分)
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D in each blank with the word or phrase that best fit the context.
When you say that someone has a good memory, what exactly do you mean? Are you saying that the person has fast recall or that he or she ___31___ information quickly? Or maybe you just mean that the person remembers a lot about her or his childhood. The truth is that it is ___32___ to say exactly what memory is. Even scientists who have been studying memory for decades say they are still trying to ___33___ exactly what it is. But we do know that a particular memory is not just one thing stored somewhere in the brain. ___34___ , a memory is made up of bits and pieces of information stored all over the brain.

Practice and repetition can help to ___36___ the pieces that make up our memory of that information.
Memory can be negatively affected by a number of things. ___37___ nutrition can affect a person’s ability to store information. Excessive alcohol use can also ___38___ memory and cause permanent ___39___ to the brain over the long term. A vision or hearing problem may affect a person’s ability to notice certain things, thus making it ___40___ to register information in the brain.

You use your short-term memory to remember the number. Your short-term memory lasts about 30 seconds, or half a minute. ___42___ , you don’t need to look in the telephone book for your best friend’s number, because you already know it. This number is in your long-term memory, which ___43___ information about things you have learned and experienced through the years.
Why do you forget things sometimes? The major reason for forgetting something is that you did not learn it well enough ___44___. For example, if you meet some new people and right away forget their names, it is because you did not ___45___ the names at the first few seconds when you heard them.

Section B(22分)
Directions: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Now, let’s talk about earthquakes on our planet. Some countries have large numbers of earthquakes. Japan is one of them. Others do not have many. For example, there are few earthquakes in Britain. There is often a great noise during an earthquake. The ground vibrates (震动). Houses fall down. Trains run off the lines. Sometimes, there is a heavy loss of human lives.
Earthquakes often happen near volcanoes, but this is not always true. The centers of some earthquakes are under the sea. The bottom of the sea suddenly moves. The powerful forces inside the earth break the rocks. The coast is shaken and great waves appear. These waves, also known as seismic waves(地震波), or tsunamis(海啸) can travel long distances and rush over the land when they reach it. They are strong enough to break down houses and other buildings. Very often fires follow the most serious earthquakes. In 1906, the numbers of fires were burning in the city. The water pipes were also shaken and broken, so it was not possible to put the fire out. There was no water. The Tokyo Earthquake of 1923 happened just before noon. People were cooking meals on their fires at that time. When the ground shook, the fires shook, too. Hot materials were thrown on the different parts of the houses, some of which were made of wood. Soon 134 fires were burning in the city.
What kind of building stands up best in an earthquake? A building with concrete walls is perhaps the best. A steel frame will make it even stronger. The frame holds the different parts together and the walls so not easily fall. There is less chance of fire because concrete and steel do not burn. Over the years, scientists studied the results of the earthquake in different parts of the world, and they are convinced that this kind of building is the safest.
46. What can we know about earthquake from the first paragraph?
A. Britain has large numbers of earthquake.
B. There is often a great noise during an earthquake.
C. There is a heavy loss of human lives in every earthquake.
D. Trains will not run off the lines during the earthquake.
47. Some of the undersea earthquakes were caused by ______.
A. the breakout of the volcano B. the seismic waves
C. the tsunami D. the powerful forces inside the earth
48. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. A building with concrete walls and a steel frame stands up best in an earthquake.
B. There is no chance of fire in a building with concrete walls.
C. Scientist studied the causes of the earthquake to get the conclusion.
D. A steel frame has no help in making the house stronger.
49. This text is probably a ______.
A. book review B. popular science report
C. newspaper ad D. fairy tale
【答案】46. B 47. D 48. A 49. B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章是关于地震的，介绍了地震发生的地区，地震波的威力，以及怎样的建筑抗震效果好的的等。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段There is often a great noise during an earthquake.可知地震期间会有巨大声响。故选B。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段The powerful forces inside the earth break the rocks.The coast is shaken and great waves appear. These waves, also known as seismic waves(地震波), or tsunamis(海啸) can travel long distances and rush over the land when they reach it. They are strong enough to break down houses and other buildings. Very often fires follow the most serious earthquakes.可知地球内部的强大力量能打碎巨石，海岸被摇动，巨浪出现。这些波，也被称为地震波，或海啸可以长途跋涉，当它们到达陆地时就会冲过陆地。它们足够强大，足以摧毁房屋和其他建筑物。火灾往往伴随着最严重的地震。所以一些海底地震是地球内部的力量造成的。故选D。
【48题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段What kind of building stands up best in an earthquake? A building with concrete walls is perhaps the best. A steel frame will make it even stronger.可知在震中什么样的建筑承受力最好？有混凝土墙的也许最好。钢架结构会更坚固。所以混凝土墙和钢架结构的建筑在地震中承受力最好。故选A。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段Now, let’s talk about earthquakes on our planet.可知，现在，我们来讨论一下我们星球上的地震。所以文章是关于地震的，在科学杂志上最可能读到。故选B。

The name of the race comes from the name of an Alaska gold rush town, Iditarod. It means “distant” or “distant place.” It comes from one of the languages of native Alaskans.
More than sixty sled teams begin the race in Anchorage. When the teams reach the outskirts(郊外) of town, they get a taste of Alaska’s wilderness. For about two weeks, they will fight the unbearable cold, wind, snow, and ice to complete the race. The temperature on the trail is often well below zero degrees. The Iditarod trail extends for about a thousand miles. It has many rendezvous points. At these meeting places, the race teams “check in” to let the officials know how they are doing. Some teams get into trouble along the way. Officials will stop them and give them the help they need. For example, officials might stop a team’s progress to give first aid, or to collect an injured or tired dog. These dogs are well cared for and will be reunited with their owners after the race.
The Iditarod trail is an important part of Alaska’s history. A part of the trail was used by some heroic dogs and humans in 1925. In Nome, Alaska, many people were catching the deadly disease Diphtheria. So the whole town was in quarantine, or isolation, in order to stop this disease. The only way to get medicine to Nome was by dogsled. About twenty "mushers, "or dogsled drivers, offered to help. They wanted to save the people of Nome from this terrible disease.
Today the Iditarod race shows honors to this special heroic journey and to all of the journeys on the famous trail. As the race organizers say, the Iditarod is “the last great race on Earth.”
53. Which of the following is TRUE about the Iditarod race?
A. It is held every year in the downtown streets in Anchorage.
B. It usually lasts about two weeks in freezing cold weather.
C. It is held to honor the gold seekers who once lived in Iditarod.
D. Its trail is totally different from the one used by some heroic dogs.
54. In the race, it’s possible for a seriously injured dog ______.
A. to finish the race unnoticed B. to meet its owner again
C. to work for a new owner D. to get timely treatment
55. When a town is in quarantine (in Paragraph 3), people in the town ______.
A. can get whatever they want easily B. have to exchange gold for medicine
C. are not allowed to go out freely D. will be remembered as heroes
56. The passage is mainly about ______.
A. life in Alaska B. a dogsled race of Alaska
C. a period of Alaska’s history D. heroic dogs and people in Alaska
【答案】53. B 54. D 55. C 56. B
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍的是阿拉斯加州的一种比赛——Iditarod。这个名字来自于阿拉斯加语，比赛在寒冷的天气状况下持续两周，是阿拉斯加历史很重要的一部分。
【53题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段For about two weeks, they will fight the unbearable cold, wind, snow, and ice to complete the race. The temperature on the trail is often well below zero degrees.可知大概两周的时间，他们与难以忍受的寒冷、大风、雪和冰抗争，来完成比赛。赛道上的温度常常在零下。所以Iditarod会在寒冷的天气里持续两周。故选B。
【54题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段Officials will stop them and give them the help they need. For example, officials might stop a team’s progress to give first aid, or to collect an injured or tired dog.可知官方会让他们停下来并提供他们需要的帮助。举例来说，主办方会让一只队伍停下来进行急救，或收集受伤或累坏的狗。所以，比赛中受伤严重的狗会得到及时的治疗。故选D。
55题详解】
推理判断题。由第三段the whole town was in quarantine, or isolation, in order to stop this disease.中的isolation, in order to stop this disease（隔离是为了阻止疾病）可以判断出quarantine的意思是“不允许自由出去”。故选C。
【56题详解】
主旨大意题。由第一段The name of the race comes from the name of an Alaska gold rush town, Iditarod.可知比赛的名字源自阿拉斯加淘金小镇，Iditarod。所以文章的关键词是race和Alaska；由第二段More than sixty sled teams begin the race in Anchorage.可知在Anchorage，超过6只雪橇队伍比赛，由第二段officials might stop a team’s progress to give first aid, or to collect an injured or tired dog.可知主办方会让一只队伍停下来进行急救，或收集受伤或急救的狗。所以是狗拖的雪橇比赛，关键词dogsled。因此文章的标题是“阿拉斯加的狗拖雪橇比赛”。故选B。
【点睛】选择标题在英语阅读理解题中属主旨大意题，是深层理解题，它要求考生在通读全文的基础上，认真分析主人公的特定心态、文章大意及作者的写作意图。通常情况下，标题具有概括性、针对性、醒目性的特点。所谓概括性，就是指标题应在最大程度上覆盖全文，囊括文章的主要内容，体现文章的主题。针对性是对标题外延的一种界定，标题要直接指向文章的主要特点。比如第四小题：由第一段The name of the race comes from the name of an Alaska gold rush town, Iditarod.可知比赛的名字源自阿拉斯加淘金小镇，Iditarod。所以文章的关键词是race和Alaska；由第二段More than sixty sled teams begin the race in Anchorage.可知在Anchorage，超过6只雪橇队伍比赛，由第二段officials might stop a team’s progress to give first aid, or to collect an injured or tired dog.可知主办方会让一只队伍停下来进行急救，或收集受伤或急救的狗。所以是狗拖的雪橇比赛，关键词dogsled。因此文章的标题是“阿拉斯加的狗拖雪橇比赛”。故选B。

【答案】Dear teachers,
I have many dreams and among which, to become a school reporter is a wonderful one as it gives chances to my talents in social skills and writing. That’s why I’d like to apply for the position of the school English newspaper.
I am not a most excellent student, though, I am the best candidate for the position. First of all, I have outstanding communication skills, which enable me to collect campus news more effectively. Next, my experience of serving in the school English writing club for two years has helped me accumulate a wealth of experience and source for writing. Third, I have strong sense of responsibility and are good at time management. Thus, I will be able to devote my time and effort as much as possible to work for the school English newspaper, apart from my schoolwork.
If I am given the chance to work as a school reporter, the first thing I will do is to set up the news network. I will place a mailbox on each floor of the teaching buildings so that every student can contribute their ideas or news. Then, I will decide on what ideas are worthwhile to follow up and carry out an interview. I will also try my best to make the school newspaper more appealing to readers, by upgrading the layout, adding more interesting columns, etc.
I’d appreciate it if you would grant my application. I’m looking forward to your reply at your earliest convenience.
Yours sincerely,
Leo
