I’m Jessica, a big fan of James Bond. I’ve got most of the Bond films on DVD. We’ve recently bought Quantum of Solace, in which Daniel Craig plays the role of Bond. I don’t know why the film has got that name—but it’s a great movie, anyway.
All the actors who’ve played James Bond have been great, but Daniel Craig, who’s made lots of other films, plays the role better than any of them. Though he doesn’t talk much, I think he’s the most perfect actor for the role. He even does a few of the more dangerous things in the film himself, instead of getting someone else to do them. I sometimes wondered whether he would be clever to defeat (击败) the bad people—but I’m not going to tell you the ending
The actress who stars with Craig gives a fantastic performance too—I loved all the fashionable clothes she wore!.
The director probably had a hard job making this Bond film as full of action as earlier ones. But the excitement starts just at the beginning, with a car running after another quickly along a mountain road, and plenty of other exciting scenes, too—Bond jumping off tall buildings and so on. However, I found the story difficult to understand, and it also seemed to be over very quickly—it lasted less than two hours. I also felt there weren’t as many jokes as in the old Bond films. And where was all the funny Bond equipment (装备) —the underwater car or exploding watch that everyone laughed at? This is a more serious, darker Bond film, but I still really enjoy it.
34. What can a reader find out from Jessica’s article?
A. What other films Daniel Craig has made.
B. Which other actors have played James Bond.
C. Why she thinks Daniel Craig is the best James Bond.
D. Whether Quantum of Solace is her favourite Bond film.
35. How does Daniel Craig play James Bond in the new Bond film?
A. He has a lot to say to the actress.
B. He himself performs some dangerous action scenes.
C. He wears some fashionable clothes.
D. He looks strong enough to fight the bad people.
36. What is Jessica trying to do in her article?
A. To tell readers about the Bond DVDs she owns.
B. To explain what first attracted her to Bond films.
C. To give a balanced review of a Bond film she has seen.
D. To describe how Daniel Craig got the role of James Bond.
C

试卷Ⅱ（非选择题, 共50分)
阅读与回答问题。

snail

caterpillar

earthworm
One day, a baby snail found that he had to carry a shell at any time. He was confused, so he went up to his mother and asked, “Why was I born with a shell that grew so hard and heavy?” His mother said, “Because we don’t have bones to hold us up. We can only move slowly, so we need a shell to protect us.”
The baby snail asked again, “The caterpillar has no bones, either, and she can’t move quickly. Why can she live without a shell?” The mother snail answered, “That’s because a caterpillar will become a butterfly. She can fly high into the sky. Then the sky can protect her.”
The baby snail had one more question, “But the earthworm moves like us. He has no bones and he won’t turn into butterfly. Why doesn’t he carry a hard and heavy shell?” His mother said, “He can dig a hole and hide in the ground, and then the earth can protect him.”
The baby snail then cried, “We are so poor! We have no protection from the sky or from the ground!?” His mother smiled at him, “That’s why we have a shell. My dear, imagine that if we don’t have the shells, what will happen to us? Hot sun will dry out our bodies and we’ll have nowhere to sleep. What’s worse, we’ll die in the heavy rain. How terrible it is! We don’t depend on the sky or the ground for protection. We should depend on ourselves.”

A. the B. a C. an D. \
【答案】B
【解析】

考查冠词辨析。the定冠词，表特指；a不定冠词，表泛指，用在以辅音音素开头的单词前；an不定冠词，表泛指，用在以元音音素开头的单词前。根据句意可知“一条单行道”表示泛指，且one以辅音音素开头，用不定冠词a修饰，故选B。
2. The film The Battle at Lake Changjin ________ by Kaige Chen, Hark Tsuie and Dante Lam is worth seeing.
A. is directed B. directed C. directing D. to direct
【答案】B
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】句意：这部由陈凯歌，徐克，林超贤导演的电影《长津湖》非常值得一看。
考查非谓语动词。这是一个简单句，主干为“The film is worth seeing.”。句中“The Battle at Lake Changjin”为同位语，“… by Kaige Chen, Hark Tsuie and Dante Lam”为后置定语，应使用过去分词作后置定语表示被动，故选B。
3. —Oh, my God! We have missed the last bus. What shall we do?

A. advice B. decision C. choice D. reason
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：——哦，我的天啊！我们错过了最后一班公交车。我们该怎么办？——恐怕我们除了乘坐出租车别无选择。

4. —What about watching a horror movie after finishing the work?
—Are you kidding me? I don't want to get________before going to sleep.
A. scared B. bored C. relaxed D. worried
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意：——做完工作后看恐怖片怎么样？——你在开玩笑吧？我不想在睡觉前感到害怕。
考查形容词辨析。scared害怕的；bored无聊的；relaxed放松的；worried担心的。根据上文“What about watching a horror movie…?看恐怖片怎么样”及下文“Are you kidding me?”可知，恐怖片让人害怕。后面三项不合句意，故选A。
5. —Is Andy able to finish the work alone?
—I’m afraid not. It’s his ability.
A. against B. beyond C. from D. to
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：——安迪能独自完成这项工作吗？——恐怕不能。这超过了他的能力。

6. — How was everything going when you studied abroad?
— It was a difficult time at first, but things ______ fine finally.
A. worked out B. broke out
C. turned out D. tried out
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：——你在国外学习的时候一切都好吗？——一开始很困难，但最后情况好转了。
考查动词短语。worked out算出；broke out爆发；turned out发生；最后是；tried out试验。根据“It was a difficult time at first, but things ... fine finally”可知，刚开始很困难，but表示转折，所以推断最后情况好转了，只有turned out符合语境。故选C。
7. People without breakfast don’t have enough ________ they need to get through the morning.
A. exercise B. courage C. confidence D. energy
【答案】D
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】句意：没有早餐的人没有足够的精力熬过早晨。

A. who B. that C. what D. where
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：这本书提供了很多可以提高学生阅读能力的文章。
考查定语从句。分析句子可知，此处是以articles为先行词的定语从句，指物；且引导词在定语从句中作主语，that可以指人或物，who指人，what不能引导定语从句；where在定语从句中作状语。故选B。
【点睛】限制性定语从句中引导词that比较万能，即可指人又可指物，既可以作主语也可以作宾语/表语。
9. —Excuse me, sir. When can we have a swim in the pool?
—Not until it _______ next month.
A. repairs B. will repair C. is repaired D. will be repaired
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：-对不起，先生，我们什么时候能在池子里游泳？-直到下个月它被修好的时候。repairs修理，第三人称单数形式；will repair一般将来时；is repaired一般现在时被动语态；will be repaired一般将来时被动语态。until引导的时间状语从句中应用一般现在时，且主语it与动词构成被动关系，故应选C。
10. — Why didn’t you tell him about the meeting?
— He rushed out of the room I could say a word.
A. before B. after C. since D. because
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意：——你为什么不告诉他有关会议的情况？——我说话前他冲出了房间。
考查连词辨析。before在……之前；after在……之后；since自从；because因为。空前与空后句是时间前后关系，“我说话”发生在“他冲出了房间”之前，所以用before。故选A。
11. The CCTV Spring Festival Gala is always covered ________ on the Lunar New Year’s Eve.
A. live B. lively C. alive D. living
【答案】A
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】句意：中央电视台春节联欢晚会总是在除夕夜进行直播。

12. —What language is that guy speaking? I can’t catch a word.
—________. He’s from India, so I guess it is Hindi.
A. So can I B. So I can C. Neither can I D. Neither I can
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：——那个人讲的是什么语言？我几乎一个词也听不懂。 ——我也听不懂，他来自印度，所以我猜那是印地语。
考查倒装句。So can I我也能，用于肯定句，so引起的倒装句；So I can的确如此，so引起的强调句；Neither can I我也不能，用于否定句，neither引起的倒装句；Neither I can结构不存在。根据“I can’t catch a word.”可知，此处应该是倒装句，排除B；由句子“He’s from India, so I guess it is Hindi.”可知，后者也没有听懂，所以要用neither引起的倒装句。故选C。
13. — Do you know ?
— Yes, of course. It will be hosted by Beijing and Zhangjiakou.
A. how will be the 2022 Winter Olympics
B. when the next Winter Olympics will be held

【答案】D
【解析】

考查宾语从句。宾语从句要用陈述语序，A项的will be要放在句末，C项的will要放在be之前，排除AC；根据答语“It will be hosted by Beijing and Zhangjiakou.”可知，问句是对举办城市的提问，要用Which city引导，排除B项，故选D。
14. —Doctor Ma is always careful with the operations.

I’m Jessica, a big fan of James Bond. I’ve got most of the Bond films on DVD. We’ve recently bought Quantum of Solace, in which Daniel Craig plays the role of Bond. I don’t know why the film has got that name—but it’s a great movie, anyway.
All the actors who’ve played James Bond have been great, but Daniel Craig, who’s made lots of other films, plays the role better than any of them. Though he doesn’t talk much, I think he’s the most perfect actor for the role. He even does a few of the more dangerous things in the film himself, instead of getting someone else to do them. I sometimes wondered whether he would be clever to defeat (击败) the bad people—but I’m not going to tell you the ending
The actress who stars with Craig gives a fantastic performance too—I loved all the fashionable clothes she wore!.
The director probably had a hard job making this Bond film as full of action as earlier ones. But the excitement starts just at the beginning, with a car running after another quickly along a mountain road, and plenty of other exciting scenes, too—Bond jumping off tall buildings and so on. However, I found the story difficult to understand, and it also seemed to be over very quickly—it lasted less than two hours. I also felt there weren’t as many jokes as in the old Bond films. And where was all the funny Bond equipment (装备) —the underwater car or exploding watch that everyone laughed at? This is a more serious, darker Bond film, but I still really enjoy it.
34. What can a reader find out from Jessica’s article?
A. What other films Daniel Craig has made.
B. Which other actors have played James Bond.
C. Why she thinks Daniel Craig is the best James Bond.
D. Whether Quantum of Solace is her favourite Bond film.
35. How does Daniel Craig play James Bond in the new Bond film?
A. He has a lot to say to the actress.
B. He himself performs some dangerous action scenes.
C. He wears some fashionable clothes.
D. He looks strong enough to fight the bad people.
36. What is Jessica trying to do in her article?
A. To tell readers about the Bond DVDs she owns.
B. To explain what first attracted her to Bond films.
C. To give a balanced review of a Bond film she has seen.
D. To describe how Daniel Craig got the role of James Bond.
【答案】34. C 35. B 36. C
【解析】

细节理解题。根据第二段“He even does a few of the more dangerous things in the film himself, instead of getting someone else to do them.”可知丹尼尔·克雷格甚至亲自做了电影中一些更危险的事情，而不是让别人去做。故选B。
【36题详解】
主旨大意题。根据“This is a more serious, darker Bond film, but I still really enjoy it.”可知这是一部更严肃、更黑暗的邦德电影，但作者仍然非常喜欢。由此推测，本文是作者对她看过的一部邦德电影进行的评论。故选C。

阅读与回答问题。

snail

caterpillar

earthworm
One day, a baby snail found that he had to carry a shell at any time. He was confused, so he went up to his mother and asked, “Why was I born with a shell that grew so hard and heavy?” His mother said, “Because we don’t have bones to hold us up. We can only move slowly, so we need a shell to protect us.”
The baby snail asked again, “The caterpillar has no bones, either, and she can’t move quickly. Why can she live without a shell?” The mother snail answered, “That’s because a caterpillar will become a butterfly. She can fly high into the sky. Then the sky can protect her.”
The baby snail had one more question, “But the earthworm moves like us. He has no bones and he won’t turn into butterfly. Why doesn’t he carry a hard and heavy shell?” His mother said, “He can dig a hole and hide in the ground, and then the earth can protect him.”
The baby snail then cried， “We are so poor! We have no protection from the sky or from the ground!?” His mother smiled at him, “That’s why we have a shell. My dear, imagine that if we don’t have the shells, what will happen to us? Hot sun will dry out our bodies and we’ll have nowhere to sleep. What’s worse, we’ll die in the heavy rain. How terrible it is! We don’t depend on the sky or the ground for protection. We should depend on ourselves.”
