my ability will contribute to your company if I succeed in getting this job.Thank you.第二部分　阅读(共两节,满分50分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。AAs is known to all,“I am sorry” is the phrase we hear most in daily communication in Britain.What does it mean?Does it always mean you apologise (道歉) for what you have done wrong?Let us review a scene happening in a British street one day.A young man walked down a road playing with his smart phone when a lady came over in his opposite direction.The man failed to give his way to the lady in time.As a result,he bumped (碰撞) into the lady.As a rule in most places,the man must say “I am sorry” first,because he was so busy playing with his smart phone that he got in the way of the lady.However,both the persons apologised to each other by saying “I am sorry”. Why is this the case?As a matter of fact,the phrase “I am sorry” takes on another meaning in Britain.Anyone should speak to the other this way if either of them creates inconvenience (不便).The apology is just a way to avoid unnecessary fights between them.Another cultural difference about “I am sorry” can also be found at British restaurants.Supposing an old woman says to a waiter in a pub (酒馆),“I am sorry,but can I order another drink?” This time you must realise it doesn’t mean she apologises to the waiter for what she has done wrong,but means she really needs the waiter to do something for her.21.The young man was 　　　when he bumped into the lady. A.answering a callB.playing with his smart phoneC.dancing along the roadD.playing football with his friends by the roadside22.The old woman in the pub wants to 　　　the waiter by saying “I am sorry.” A.apologise to B.ask for help fromC.treat D.play a joke on23.What is the main idea of the passage?A.Don’t play with smart phones on the road.B.We should learn to be a person with good manners.C.How to order a drink successfully in a British pub.D.We can find cultural difference in daily English communication.语篇导读:这是一篇说明文。文章主要以“I am sorry.(对不起。)”为例,向我们介绍了在不同的文化中,日常英语交际用语使用的差异。本文有利于增强学生对文化差异的了解,培养跨文化交际意识。答案及剖析:21.B　细节理解题。本题考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据第二段中的“A young man walked down a road playing... he bumped (碰撞) into the lady.”可知,当男人撞到那位女士时,他正忙着玩智能手机。故选B项。22.B　细节理解题。本题考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据最后一段关键句“This time you must realise ... needs the waiter to do something for her.”可知,酒吧里的老妇人对服务员说“对不起”是想向服务员寻求帮助。故选B项。23.D　主旨大意题。本题考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。文章主要以“I am sorry.(对不起。)”为例,向我们介绍了在不同的文化中,日常英语交际用语使用的差异。在中国,它用于做错事时的道歉用语,但在英国,它可能是为了避免不必要的争斗或寻求别人帮助时的礼貌用语。“We can find cultural difference in daily English communication.”意为:“在日常英语交际中,我们可以发现文化差异。”符合文章主旨。故选D项。BPeople often ask me for suggestions about how to learn English.As for it,everyone is different.I’ll share some of my experience.I once took a school English course for one year in Wuhan University,but I mostly learned English on my own.One thing I can tell you is that,once you start learning,you should try to think in English as much as you can.If you see something when you’re riding your bike or walking down the street,just think about “How would I say them in English?” At first,it might be with simple words or phrases,but later you should think about longer phrases and sentences.Now I am in England,and for most of the time,I would think in English and speak it directly.It is amazing how much this helps.For several years after I started learning,I was often afraid of talking with others in English because I did not want to make mistakes.Finally I got it over.And while travelling in England,I’d try to hang out with friends who couldn’t speak Chinese,so that I’d have no choice but to speak English.And I also decided that if I said something stupid and other people laughed at me,then so be it.After that,my English started improving much more quickly.Besides,it may be a good idea to ask your English friends to look at the way you’re writing,and give you some suggestions for improvement.24.How long did the author learn English in Wuhan University?A.A week. B.A month. C.A term. D.A year.25.What is the good way to improve your English according to the author?A.Reading English books. B.Thinking in English.C.Watching English films. D.Learning English grammar.26.Where did the author improve his English quickly?A.In England. B.In China.C.In the university. D.In the middle school.27.What is the best title for the text?A.My University Life B.British EnglishC.My English Learning Experience D.The Importance of Learning English语篇导读:这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了作者学习英语的经历和体验。本文有利于增强学生对英语学习的认识。答案及剖析:24.D　细节理解题。本题考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据第一段中的“I once took a school English course for one year in Wuhan University”可知,作者在武汉学习了一年的英语。故选D。25.B　细节理解题。本题考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据第二段中的“One thing I can tell you is that,once ... as much as you can.”可知,作者认为学习英语的好方式之一是“用英语思考”。故选B。26.A　细节理解题。本题考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据倒数第二段中的“And while travelling in England,I’d try to hang out ... have no choice but to speak English.”及“After that,my English started improving much more quickly.”可知,在英国,作者的英语水平得到了迅速的提高。故选A。27.C　主旨大意题。本题考查学生理解文本主旨要义的能力。根据第一段中的“People often ask me for suggestions ... share some of my experience.”可知,人们经常问“我”如何学习英语的建议。至于英语学习的经验,每个人是不同的。“我”将分享一些我的经验。下文中,作者介绍了他在英国学习英语的经历和体验。由此可知,C.My English Learning Experience(我的英语学习经历)适合作本文最佳标题。故选C。C“Hello” is a relatively new greeting.It first appeared sometime in the mid-1800s,but many people would not have dreamed of using it.“Hello” was considered a very impolite way to greet someone.Instead,people used formal expressions like “How do you do?”Back then,there were several words that sounded like “hello”,but they were used to get someone’s attention or to express surprise.For example,if you caught your little brother stealing your snack,you might have said,“Halloa there! Stop eating my cheese!” If you found a fly in your soup,you might have shouted,“Hullo! How did that get in there?”Everything started to change in 1876,when Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone.The first telephones didn’t have numbers you could dial,nor did they have bells or ringers.Instead,your telephone sent signals along telephone lines to a central office where an operator would answer by saying something like “Are you there,sir?” or “What is wanted?” The operator would then connect your phone to the phone of the person you wanted to reach.There was just one small problem: Since telephones didn’t ring,how would the person you were calling know that you were “on the line”? The answer was that you would yell(大喊) into your phone and hope someone on the other end heard you.But what would you yell? And what would the person you were calling say when they were going to answer? Bell suggested “Ahoy! Ahoy!” but it didn’t catch on.Then the famous inventor Thomas Edison suggested the word hello.That caught on right away.“Hello” became so popular that by 1878 telephone operators were required to use it.In fact,operators received the nickname (绰号) “Hello Girls”. Soon,“hello” became not just the standard way to answer the phone,but an accepted way to greet people in person.28.Why was “hello” seldom used when it first appeared?A.It was too informal. B.It was hard to pronounce.C.It was considered to be rude. D.There were other words like “hello”.29.“Hullo” was used to show something 　　　. A.interesting  B.excitingC.boring      D.unexpected30.Paragraph 3 is mainly about 　　　. A.how “hello” was used to answer the telephoneB.the friendship between Bell and EdisonC.the invention of the telephoneD.how the telephone improved31.We can infer from the text that 　　　. A.“hello” got popular as soon as the telephone was inventedB.the telephone has changed the way people speakC.people liked simple expressions like “hello”D.Bell advised girls to use “hello”语篇导读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章叙述了“Hello”一词的由来。本文有利于增强学生对“Hello”一词的了解。答案及剖析:28.C　细节理解题。本题考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据第一段中的“It first appeared sometime in the mid-1800s,but ... a very impolite way to greet someone.”可知,“hello”刚开始出现时很少被使用,是因为它被认为是粗鲁的。故选C。29.D　推理判断题。本题考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。根据第二段中的“If you found a fly in your soup,you might have shouted,‘Hullo! How did that get in there?’”可知,“Hullo”用来表示意想不到的事情。故选D。30.A　推理判断题。本题考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。根据第三段中的“And what would the person you were calling ... the word hello.That caught on right away.”可知,第三段主要是关于如何用 “hello”来接电话。故选A。31.B　推理判断题。本题考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。根据最后一段中的 “‘Hello’ became so popular that by 1878 telephone operators ... an accepted way to greet people in person.”可知,电话改变了人们说话的方式。故选B。DBeing deaf in a hearing world can lead to painful feelings of isolation (孤独).Waitress Kelsey recently shared an experience on a social media sharing site that quickly zoomed (陡然上升) to the top of the “front page of the Internet”.In her brief post,Kelsey explained that she waited tables at a bar during the evenings,and one night she noticed a deaf man sitting alone in her section (区域).When Kelsey wasn’t working at the bar,she made a good hourly pay doing sign language interpretation (翻译),so she sensed an opportunity to use her skill to make this customer feel a little less lonely in the world.She approached his table and began chatting with him in sign language.When the table next to his noticed their silent conversation,they asked Kelsey how long she’d been signing.They had a brief conversation about her goal of becoming certified (合格的) to interpret sign language in a medical or mental health setting.She didn’t think much about the whole exchange until the customers had left the restaurant and she was tidying up the tables.There,on the table of the customers who’d seen her American sign language conversation with the deaf man,was a handwritten note on the receipt.“Thank you for what you do; it absolutely matters!” the note said.“Good luck with finishing your degree!” Not only that,but they’d left her a $100 tip.Kelsey was moved by the kind note,especially because she wasn’t doing anything out of the ordinary.To her,she was just conversing with someone in a language that only they understood.Yet to the deaf man and the people seated next to him she’d bridged a gap and helped someone who probably feels lonely a lot of the time.Kelsey shared the note on the Internet to spread more love and light in the world.32.What do we know about Kelsey’s work at the bar?A.It is her part-time job.B.It goes beyond her ability.C.It requires her to work all day long.D.It offers her a chance to learn sign language.33.What can we infer about the deaf man?A.He left Kelsey $100 as a tip.B.He could use sign language.C.He found it hard to communicate with Kelsey.D.He was a friend of the customers at the next table.34.What did the people at the table next to the deaf man think of Kelsey?A.She is wasting time working as a waitress.B.She needs to study further for a degree.C.She should use the Internet as a tool.D.She is so kind to serve those in need.35.What lesson can we learn from Kelsey’s experience?A.Practice makes perfect. B.It is never too late to learn.C.Kindness is repaid with kindness. D.When in Rome,do as Romans do.语篇导读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了手语翻译 Kelsey在酒吧兼职,用手语跟顾客交流时感动了邻桌顾客而为其留下100美元小费的故事。本文有利于学生增强对手语的认识,培养学生助人为乐的精神。答案及剖析:32.A　细节理解题。本题考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据第三段中的“When Kelsey wasn’t working at the bar... customer feel a little less lonely in the world.”可知,这份酒吧工作是Kelsey的兼职工作。故选A。33.B　推理判断题。本题考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。根据第三段中的“She approached his table and began chatting with him in sign language.”可知,她走近他的桌子,开始用手语和他聊天。由此可推知,那名顾客也会手语。故选B。34.D　推理判断题。本题考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。根据第五段中的“‘Thank you for what you do; it absolutely matters!’ the note said.”可知,“‘谢谢你所做的一切,这绝对重要!’字条上写着”。由此可知,这桌客人认为Kelsey为有需要的人提供服务,很善良。故选D。35.C　推理判断题。本题考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。根据倒数第三段中的“Not only that,but they’d left her a $100 tip.”结合上文,可知Kelsey 与客人手语交流,邻桌客人为其留下100美元小费,说明了好心有好报的道理。故选C。第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面的短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。A good relationship between students and teachers makes the classroom a very inviting place.When you like your teachers,it’s easier to pay attention to their explanations and improve your marks.36.　　　 When your teachers consider you to be a friend,they’ll feel more open in class and that will probably influence the classroom in a positive way.Now here are some tips to develop a friendly relationship with your teachers: Ask questions.37.　　　 Show them that you’re interested in their subjects.That will make them notice you.But never ask questions that you already know the answers to.If your teachers realise that you are not asking real questions,they might think that you’re not actually trying to learn,but only trying to make an impression. 38.　　　 When you see one of your teachers in the hall,greet him/her and ask if he/she is going to that concert or if he/she has seen that movie.39.　　　 Some teachers don’t like to have friendly relationships with students,but most of them are happy to chat with their students.After a while,they may start to talk with you about non-school subjects in the classroom. The rest is totally up to you; it is very easy to develop a friendly relationship with any of your teachers.If you want to be friends with your teachers,just treat them as friends,but don’t forget that no matter how good friends you are,40.　　 A.Talk about non-school subjects.B.Choose the right subjects.C.That way you’ll show that you consider him/her as a friend.D.If you have any questions about that subject,ask them.E.they will still be your teachers and deserve your respect.F.we should obey whatever they ask and finish our homework on time.G.When you consider your teachers as friends,you’ll certainly have more respect for them.语篇导读:这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了良好的师生关系是非常重要的,给学生一些关于怎样和老师建立良好的关系的建议。本文有利于帮助学生学习如何建立和谐的师生关系。答案及剖析:36.G　本题考查学生理解篇章内句间衔接关系的能力。根据下文的“When your teachers consider you to be a friend,they’ll feel... influence the classroom in a positive way.”可推知,此处是说老师和学生换位思考,分析选项可知G选项在结构上与下文相对应,且表示“当你把老师当作朋友时,你肯定会更尊重他们”。代入文章语义通顺,故选G项。37.D　本题考查学生理解段内衔接关系的能力。根据本段主题句Ask questions.(提问题。)可对应到D选项“如果你对那个科目有任何问题,可询问他们”符合语境,故选D项。38.A　本题考查学生理解段落主题句与段内衔接关系的能力。根据下文的“When you see one of your teachers ... if he/she has seen that movie.”可知,音乐会和电影都是与学校无关的话题,可推知上文是建议“谈论非学校话题”。故选A项。39.C　本题考查学生理解段内衔接关系的能力。根据上文的“When you see one of your teachers ... if he/she has seen that movie.”可知,在谈论这些与学校无关的话题时,学生是在把老师当作朋友。故可对应到C选项“这样你就会表明你把他/她当作朋友。”其中That way与上文和老师沟通的方式相对应,故选C项。40.E　本题考查学生理解段内衔接关系的能力。根据上文的“If you want to be friends ... no matter how good friends you are”,but表示语义的转折,可推知无论你和老师是多么好的朋友,他们仍然是你的老师,值得你尊敬。故选E项。第三部分　语言运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面的短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。While some high schools do not generally encourage students to explore new aspects of life,college sets the stage for that exploration.I myself went through this 　41　 process and found something that has changed my 　42　 at college for the better:I discovered ASL—American Sign Language (美式手语). I never felt an urge to 　43　 any sign language before.My entire family is hearing,and so are all my friends.The 　44　 language was enough in all my interactions (交往).Little did I know that I would discover my 　45　 for ASL. The story began during my first week at college.I watched as the ASL Club performed their translation of a song.Both the hand movements and the very 　46　 of communicating without speaking 　47　 me.What I saw was completely unlike anything I had experienced in the past.This newness just left me 　48　 more. After that,feeling the need to 　49　 further,I decided to drop in on one of ASL Club’s meetings.I only learned how to 　50　 the alphabet that day.Yet instead of being discouraged by my 　51　 progress,I was excited.I then made it a point to attend those meetings and learn all I could. The following term,I 　52　 an ASL class.The professor was deaf and any talking was 　53　.I soon realised that the silence was not unpleasant.Instead,if there had been any talking,it would have 　54　 us to learn less.Now,I appreciate the silence and the 　55　 way of communication it opens. 41.A.searching B.planning C.natural D.formal42.A.progress B.experience C.major D.opinion43.A.choose B.read C.learn D.create44.A.official B.foreign C.body D.spoken45.A.love B.concern C.goal D.request46.A.idea B.amount C.dream D.reason47.A.disturbed B.supported C.embarrassed D.attracted48.A.showing B.acting C.saying D.wanting49.A.exercise B.explore C.express D.explain50.A.print B.write C.sign D.count51.A.slow B.steady C.normal D.obvious52.A.missed B.passed C.gave

答案及剖析:41.A　第一句提到了“explore”“exploration”,所以“我”在大学亲身经历了探索的过程。searching和explore为同义词替换,下文的“found”也和searching对应。42.B　在大学阶段的探索过程中,“我”发现了一些改变了“我”人生经历的事情。43.C　下文提到作者的家人和朋友的听觉都正常。所以在此之前,作者从来没有觉得有必要去学习手语。44.D　上文提到朋友和家人的听觉都正常,所以口语足以应付日常的交流。45.A　上文都在强调手语对作者来说是没有必要的。所以作者从来没想过自己会喜欢上美式手语。以此来形成强烈的反差。46.A　47.D　全靠手势,而不掺杂语言交流的主意深深地吸引了“我”。48.D　这种新鲜感让“我”想要更多地了解它。下文的“further”与more为同义词替换。49.B　上文提到作者仅仅是观看了美式手语的表演,而下文提到作者在那一天学习了怎样用手语表达字母表,这是对美式手语的进一步了解和探索。50.C　那天“我”仅学会了怎样用手语表达字母表。第一段的“American Sign Language”也给出暗示。51.A　discouraged (使失望;使沮丧)表达的是消极的情感,所以slow progress(缓慢的进步)也表达的是消极的情感。两者在感情色彩上保持一致,并且与后面的excited形成对比。52.D　下一学期,作者报名参加了美式手语这门课程。register

something表示“导致某人做某事;给某人造成……的结果”。55.D　对于作者而言,这种无声的交流方式是全新的体验。第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)阅读下面的短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。All through history,people from many different countries and cultures have lived

为第三人称单数形式,故用consists。57.why　本题考查连接词。why引导表语从句,句式:That is why...意为“那是……的原因”。58.replacing　本题考查非谓语动词。lead to sth doing表示“导致某事发生”。Old English与replace之间是主动关系,to是介词,所以用动词-ing形式。59.mixture　本题考查名词。冠词a后应该用名词形式。60.from　本题考查介词。differ from表示“不同于”。61.given　本题考查非谓语动词。 the name与give之间在逻辑上是被动关系,所以用动词的过去分词形式。62.contributions　本题考查名词。many后用可数名词的复数形式。63.appeared　本题考查时态。根据时间状语in the 16th century可知,应用一般过去时。64.changing　本题考查非谓语动词。on是介词,故用动词-ing形式作宾语。65.It　本题考查形式主语it。分析句子结构可知,It是形式主语,真正的主语是that引导的主语从句。第四部分　写作(共两节,满分40分)第一节(满分15分)假设你是高一新生李华,你在校园网上了解到外国中学生Peter想邀请一名中国学生辅导他学习汉语,你对此很感兴趣。请你用英语给他写一封邮件,表示你愿意教他中文。要点如下:1.应邀原因;2.盼望回复。注意:写作词数应为80个左右。     [写作指导]

the forest,my husband and I had fun climbing over and crawling under the downed trees that blocked the dirt path before us.It was May.Yet we walked up a snow-covered hill.When we noticed our jeans were wet up to our knees,it did not dampen our spirits.Not once did we say,“Let’s turn around.”This was our vacation,and we were on an adventure.Little did we know this was the beginning of many more surprises.The trail was marked as an easy one-kilometre hike yet we were already walking a long distance.Our light-heartedness stopped when we came out into a clearing and saw a parking lot without our rental car in it.As my eyes scanned the surroundings,nothing looked familiar.My heart raced.I realised we were lost in a national park that did not officially open for another week.Usually,I am the calm one in the relationship,but my husband surprised me with his calmness.This did not comfort me;in fact,it heightened my fear.As we walked,I asked my husband to call for help,but there was no cell-phone signal in this isolated (偏僻的) area.It was awfully quiet except for our footsteps hitting the road,and my heavy breathing.My husband suggested we conserve energy and walk slower.With each step on the road,my feet and thighs (大腿) hurt while my mind raced with thoughts about people who got lost in the Canadian woods for days.My vision sharpened.I noticed everything around me:the trees,rocks and snow.I thought we could eat the snow on the ground in case we needed water.For the first time in my life,I was ready and willing to get a ride,but we did not meet with a single car on the road.We focused on each other,made joint decisions and connected through gratitude.We managed to stay on the main road and walked straight on.注意:续写词数应为150个左右。Paragraph 1:My husband suddenly spotted a small building on a hill in the distance.         Paragraph 2:Just then,a friendly woman appeared,saying, “Hello.”                         [写作指导]

filled with hope and excitement to find such a building in the middle of nowhere.We climbed up the hill at a swinging pace as if all the pains were gone.As we approached,a sign came into sight,which read:Administration Office.However,it was not open for business.The empty hall made us nervous all at once.We stood there hopelessly,wondering what to do next.Just then,a friendly woman appeared,saying, “Hello.”I could barely hold back my enthusiasm and blurted out,“We’re lost!” She comforted us and opened a room for us to take a break.Seeing we were cold and hungry,she treated us with hot chocolate.After studying the map,we figured out that our car was parked over three kilometres away.She offered us a ride back to our car and we accepted gladly.I felt relieved to see our rental car again.What a nice thing to have such an unforgettable experience!
