【详解】考查定语从句。句意：一个好的广告，人们赋予它积极的意义，可以有助于产品的销售。分析句子可知，此处是“介词+关系词”引导的非限制性定语从句，先行词是advertisement，attach sth to sth把……附在……上，固定短语，故此处介词用to，关系词在从句中作介词to的宾语，应用关系代词which，故选A项。
5. _______ the website of the Fire Department in your city, and you will learn a lot about Firefighting.
A. Having searched B. To search C. Searching D. Search

A. being realized B. to realize
C. realizing D. to be realized
【答案】D
【解析】

【解析】
【详解】考查句子结构、连词等。句意：“Jim被告诉了很多次，但他又犯了同样的错误，”他的母亲抱怨道。因后文有连词but，不能和although以及as一起使用，故排除AC两项；因有连词but，前文不可用非谓语动词作状语，排除B项。故选D项。

III. 阅读理解 (40%)：
A
I’d done it before, and so I had no reason to believe that this time would be any different. I was sure that when I returned home from my mission trip, as always, I’d bring back nothing more than some mud on my boots, a hole or two in my jeans and, of course, a lot of great memories.
The summer before my high school graduation, I went to West Virginia with others as volunteers to repair the homes of those in need. Arriving at our destination, my group was assigned the task of rebuilding sections of a home that had been damaged by fire. No sooner had we parked on the home’s dirt driveway than we saw an excited little girl, no more than six years old, standing in the doorway of the family’s temporary home. Shoeless and wearing dirty clothes and the biggest smile I’d ever seen, she yelled, “Ma, Ma, they really came!” I didn’t know it then, but her name was Dakota, and four more days would pass before she’d say another word near me.
Behind Dakota was a woman in a wheelchair — her grandmother, we’d soon learn. I also discovered that my job that week would be to help change a fire-damaged dining room into a bedroom for this little girl. Over the following days, I noticed Dakota peeking at us every now and then as we worked. A few times, I tried talking with her, but she remained shy and distant, always flying around us like a tiny butterfly but keeping to herself.
By our fifth and final day, however, this was about to change. Before I went to work on her home on that last morning, I spoke for a moment or two with the grandmother. I was especially pleased when she told me how much Dakota loved her new room — so much. As we talked, I noticed something I hadn’t seen before — Dakota was hiding behind her grandmother.
Cautiously, she stepped into view, and I could see that just like her clothes, her face was still dirty. But no amount of soil could hide those bright blue eyes and big smile. She was simply adorable. Slowly, she began walking toward me. It wasn’t until she was just inches away that I noticed the folded piece of paper in her tiny hand. Silently, she reached up and handed it to me. Once unfolded, I looked at the drawing she’d made with her broken crayons on the back of an old coloring book cover. It was of two girls — one much taller than the other — and they were holding hands. She told me it was supposed to be me and her, and on the bottom of the paper were three little words that instantly broke my heart: “Please don’t leave”. Now almost in tears, I couldn’t control myself anymore — I bent down and hugged her. She hugged me, too. And for the longest time, neither of us could let go.
I left for home early the next morning. I was returning with muddy boots and holes in my jeans. But because of Dakota, I brought back something else, too — a greater appreciation for all of the blessings of my life.

Imagine this: You’re sitting in a London café with an English friend. He turns to you and asks if you think that “bird over there is a bunny boiler”. Would you: A) look blank and tell him rabbits can’t fly; B) curse the day you ever started studying the terrible English language; or C) give your opinion of whether that girl over there is crazy or not?
Teachers and students often talk about the “plateau (高原)” of language learning. The metaphor sees every word learned as a step on the journey towards fluency. When you’ve reached a certain high level, you stop improving and hit the “plateau”. Thousands of English language learners have wandered around for years on this flat, boring plateau. However, few have come up with ideas about how to get off it. If you answered A or B to the above situation then my solution may come as a surprise: You need slang (俚语) to lift you up and away.
Of course textbooks won’t recommend this route. Slang is too fast-changing to be recorded in them. And slang is also a dirty word to some teachers, who only like polite English. But English is not only an old-fashioned, polite language, it is also changing quickly. At the end of 2005, two fat new dictionaries — “The New Partridge Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English” and “Cassell’s Dictionary of Slang” hit the bookshops. Ignoring English’s slang is like travelling to a new country and only visiting places recommended in a 10-year-old guidebook. Boring. So where can you get a fix?
New books are good slanguage (slang-language) sources. If you’re tired of reading, buy a CD. Musicians and rappers like the UK’s Artic Monkey and The Streets and the US’ Kelis and Eminem are slang sensations (引起轰动的人), constantly playing tricks with the Queen’s English.
As the Austrian-British philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein said, the limits of your language are the limits of your world. So why not widen your horizons with a little properly used slanguage? From there it’s just a short step to pushing yourself and your friends off the plateau on all-new adventures.
46. The first paragraph is mainly written to ________.
A. show British people enjoy chatting with friends in a café
B. prove that slanguage is difficult to study
C. present the topic to be discussed in the passage
D. let the reader choose a correct answer
47. According to the passage, the underlined “bird” in Paragraph 1 probably refers to ________.
A. English language B. a young woman
C. slanguage D. a rabbit
48. Which of the following is TRUE of people on the “plateau” of language learning?
A. They never make any improvement in language learning.
B. They usually lose heart in language learning.
C. They know nothing about slang.
D. They are puzzled by how to learn a language better.
49. In the passage, slanguage is best seen as ________.
A. a key to the “plateau” problem B. a dirty word to some teachers
C. a 10-year-old guidebook D. a foreign language
50. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. “Slanguage” for music B. “Slanguage” and the Queen’s English
C. “Slanguage” on the go D. “Slanguage” to the rescue
【答案】46. C 47. B 48. D 49. A 50. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了英语俚语在交流中的作用，对提升英语水平的重要性并且作者也提供了俚语学习的方法。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章结构以及第一段的内容“You’re sitting in a London café with an English friend. He turns to you and asks if you think that “bird over there is a bunny boiler”. Would you: A) look blank and tell him rabbits can’t fly; B) curse the day you ever started studying the terrible English language; or C) give your opinion of whether that girl over there is crazy or not?（你和一个英国朋友坐在伦敦的咖啡馆里。他转向你，问你是否认为“(俚语) 那边那个女人精神错乱”。你会不会：A）茫然地告诉他兔子不会飞；B） 诅咒你开始学习糟糕的英语的那一天；或者C）给出你对那边那个女孩是否疯狂的看法？）”可知，第一段主要是通过一句俚语，以及随后引发的联想来引出主题。C项表述符合题意。故选C项。
【47题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段“If you answered A or B to the above situation then my solution may come as a surprise: You need slang (俚语) to lift you up and away.（如果你对上述情况回答A或B，那么我的解决方案可能会出人意料：你需要俚语来提升自己）”可知，A回答和B回答都是不正确，所以需要参照C回答（give your opinion of whether that girl over there is crazy or not?）。通过C的回答，可以发现上文提到的“bird”对应的就是that girl。B选项a young woman(一个年轻的女孩)和that girl表示相似，符合题意。故选B项。
【48题详解】

【50题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“When you’ve reached a certain high level, you stop improving and hit the “plateau”（当你达到一定高水平时，你就会停止进步，进入“高原”问题）”和第二段“You need slang (俚语) to lift you up and away.（你需要俚语来提升自己）”最后一段“So why not widen your horizons with a little properly used slanguage? From there it’s just a short step to pushing yourself and your friends off the plateau on all-new adventures.（那么，为什么不用一些恰当使用的俚语来开阔你的视野呢？从这里开始，你只需迈出一小步，就可以让你自己和你的朋友踏出高原，开始全新的冒险。）”可知，作者认为slanguage可以帮人们解决“高原”问题，并最终走出困境。D选项“Slanguage” to the rescue “俚语”拯救符合题意。故选D项。

Half of the world’s population is affected by Asian monsoons (季风), but monsoons are difficult to predict. American researchers have put together a 700-year record of the rainy seasons, which is expected to provide guidance for experts making weather predictions.
Every year, moist (潮湿的) air masses, known as monsoon, produce large amounts of rainfall in India, East Asia, Northern Australia and East Africa. All this wet air is pulled in by a high pressure area over the Indian Ocean and a low pressure area to the south.
According to Edward Cook, a weather expert at Columbia University in New York, the complex nature of the climate systems across Asia makes monsoons hard to predict. In addition, climate records for the area are too recent and not detailed enough to be of much use. Therefore, he and a team of researchers spent more than fifteen years traveling across Asia, looking for trees old enough to provide long-term records. They measured the rings, or circles, inside thousands of ancient trees in more than 300 places.
Rainfall has a direct link to the growth and width of rings on some kinds of trees. The researchers developed a document they are calling a Monsoon Asia Drought Atlas. It shows the effect of monsoons over seven centuries, beginning in the 1300s.
Professor Cook says the tree-ring records show periods of wet and dry weather. “If the monsoon basically fails or is a very weak one, the trees affected by monsoons at that location might put on a very narrow ring. But if the monsoon is very strong, the trees affected by that monsoon might put on a wide ring for that year. So, the wide and narrow ring widths of the chronology that we developed in Asia provide us with a measure of monsoon variability.” With all this information, researchers say they can begin to improve computer climate models for predicting the behavior of monsoons.
“There has been widespread famine and starvation and human dying in the past in large droughts. And on the other hand, if the monsoon is particularly heavy, it can cause extensive flooding.” said Eugene Wahl, a scientist with America’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. “So, to get a sense of what the regional moisture patterns have been, dryness and wetness over such a long period of time in great detail, I would call it a kind of victory for climate science.”
51. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. The effects of Asian monsoons. B. The necessity of weather forecast.
C. A breakthrough in monsoon prediction. D. The achievements of Edward cook.
52. It is difficult for experts to predict Asian monsoons because ________.
A. it is hard to keep long-term climate records
B. there is heavy rainfall in Asia
C. they influence many nations
D. they are formed under complex climate systems
53. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The trees affected by monsoon grow fast if the monsoon is weak.
B. The Monsoon Asia Drought Atlas has a monsoon record for about 1,300 years.
C. Long and detailed climate records can offer useful information for monsoon research.
D. The rainfall might be low although the monsoon is strong in monsoon-affected areas.
54. What do we know about the research according to Eugene Wahl?
A. It will help people prevent droughts and floods.
B. It should include information about human life in the past.
C. It has analyzed moisture models worldwide.
D. It is a great achievement in climate science.
55. Which of the following best describes the tone of this passage?
A. Humorous. B. Matter-of-fact. C. Pessimistic. D. Friendly.
【答案】51. C 52. D 53. C 54. D 55. B

In times of economic crisis, Americans turn to their families for support. If the Great Depression is any guide, we may see a drop in our skyhigh divorce rate. But this won’t necessarily represent an increase in happy marriages. In the long run, the Depression weakened American families, and the current crisis will probably do the same.
We tend to think of the Depression as a time when families pulled together to survive huge job losses. By 1932, when nearly one-quarter of the workforce was unemployed, the divorce rate had declined by around 25% from 1929. But this doesn’t mean people were suddenly happier with their marriages. Rather, with incomes decreasing and insecure jobs, unhappy couples often couldn’t afford to divorce. They feared neither spouse (配偶) could manage alone.
Today, given the job losses of the past year, fewer unhappy couples will risk starting separate households. Furthermore, the housing market meltdown (暴跌) will make it more difficult for them to finance their separations by selling their homes.
After financial disasters family members also tend to do whatever they can to help each other and their communities. A 1940 book “The Unemployed Man and His Family”, described a family in which the husband initially reacted to losing his job “with tireless search for work”. He was always active, looking for odd jobs to do.
The problem is that such an impulse (冲动, 推动力) is hard to sustain (维持). Across the country, many similar families were unable to maintain the initial boost in morale (士气). For some, the hardships of life without steady work eventually overwhelmed (压垮, 击溃) their attempts to keep their families together. The divorce rate rose again during the rest of the decade as the recovery took hold.
Millions of American families may now be in the initial stage of their responses to the current crisis, working together and supporting one another through the early months of unemployment.
Today’s economic crisis could well generate (产生) a similar number of couples whose relationships have been irreparably (无法弥补地) ruined. So it’s only when the economy is healthy again that we’ll begin to see just how many broken families have been created.
56. In the initial stage, the current economic crisis is likely to ________.
A. tear many troubled families apart
B. bring about a drop in the divorce rate
C. contribute to enduring family ties
D. cause a lot of conflicts in the family
57. In the Great Depression many unhappy couples chose to stick together because________.
A. starting a new family would be hard
B. they expected things would turn better
C. they wanted to better protect their kids
D. living separately would be too costly
58. In addition to job losses, what stands in the way of unhappy couples getting a divorce?
A. Mounting family debts. B. A sense of insecurity.
C. Falling housing prices. D. Difficulty in getting a loan.
59. What will the current economic crisis eventually do to some married couples?
A. It will irreparably damage their relationship.
B. It will undermine (逐渐削弱) their mutual understanding.
C. It will help strengthen their emotional bonds.
D. It will force them to pull their efforts together.
60. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The economic recovery will see a higher divorce rate.
B. Few couples can stand the test of economic hardships.
C. A stable family is the best protection against poverty.
D. Money is the foundation of many a happy marriage.
【答案】56. B 57. D 58. C 59. A 60. A

The world is moving so fast these days that if you do not have the right education, you could get left behind. Technology touches every part of our daily lives—even the fast food industry relies on computer assisted systems to speed things to their customers. If you cannot figure out the computer at your local fast food shop, where will that leave you?
Once upon a time, you could have a good life with nothing more than a high school diploma, but those times are gone now. Competition for even the lowest level jobs is fierce, and most employers will give the edge to that extra education now. Jobs that never required a degree before now will certainly be given to the most educated candidate as markets grow tighter and tighter.
Education is not only important on the job front, however. Recent studies show that continually learning will keep your brain more healthy. The more active you keep your brain now, the more active it will remain in the long run. It does make sense if you think about it: if you start jogging, your body feels healthier after a while and will actually long for exercise. The same could probably be said for your brain: make it work to learn something new, and it will continually seek out the stimulation (刺激) of new information to keep itself sharp.
Education is important for your sense of self and self-esteem. If you allow yourself to think that you are poorly educated, you therefore deserve an old car, small house and poor life. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and take charge of your own fate. Realize that you are a different person now and evaluate why you did so poorly in the past. Was it because you just could not learn, or because you did not want to focus on your education at that time? You are an adult now and will be more focused and goal driven. Never say no to education, never say no to yourself.
61. Why does the author mention “the fast food industry” in the first paragraph? (no more than l0 words)
______________________________
62. What does the underlined phrase “give the edge to” mean? (no more than 3 words)
______________________________
63. According to this passage, what should we do to keep our brain acute? (no more than 10 words)
______________________________
64. Who are the suggestions in the last paragraph probably for? (no more than 15 words)
______________________________
65. In your opinion, why is education very important? (no more than 15 words; no less than 10 words)
______________________________
【答案】61. To show technology touches all aspects of our life
Or: To tell us technology touches every part of our life.
Or: To tell us that we can’t break away from technology.
62. Prefer / Value /Favor / Like / Pay attention to / Focus on.
63. We should make our brain work to learn something new.
64. They are for those who have low self-esteem because of poor education.
Or: They are for people who didn’t get enough education in the past.
65. (Open) Because education can help us find good jobs and build up our confidence.
【解析】
【分析】本文属于一篇说明文的短文阅读。主要介绍了教育在当今社会中的重要作用。现代社会科技迅速发展，教育的重要性也越加明显，它能改善我们的工作，提高我们的自信等。
【61题详解】
根据短文中第一段Technology touches every part of our daily lives---even the fast food industry relies on computer assisted systems to speed things to their customers．可知，破折号后面的内容就是对前面一句的解释说明，所以文章提到快餐业的目的就是为了说明科技已经触及到了我们生活中的每一个角落；故答案为To show technology touches all aspects of our lifeOr: To tell us technology touches every part of our life.Or: To tell us that we can’t break away from technology.
【62题详解】
该句话Competition for even the lowest level jobs is fierce，and most employers will give the edge to that extra education now．说明，即使是最低级的工作其竞争也是很激烈的，大部分老板会更喜欢接受更多教育的人，所以由此推出give the edge to应该是更喜欢、偏爱、钟爱等意思；故答案为Prefer / Value /Favor / Like / Pay attention to / Focus on.
【63题详解】
由文中第三段中make it work to learn something new，and it will continually seek out the stimulation（刺激）of new information to keep itself sharp．一句可知，要想使我们大脑保持思维敏捷，就必须学习新的东西．故答案为We should make our brain work to learn something new.
【64题详解】
根据最后一段中Education is important for your sense of self and self-esteem. If you allow yourself to think that you are poorly educated, you therefore deserve an old car, small house and poor life. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and take charge of your own fate.可知，它们是为那些因为教育水平低而自卑的人准备的。故答案为They are for those who have low self-esteem because of poor education.Or: They are for people who didn’t get enough education in the past.
【65题详解】
Because education can help us find good jobs and build up our confidence．
根据文章内容的描述和第三段中Education is not only important on the job front，however．Recent studies show that continually learning will keep your brain more healthy．可知，教育的重要性在于能使我们找到好的工作和培养自信心；故答案为(Open) Because education can help us find good jobs and build up our confidence.
