四、阅读理解（30分）
12．（8分）The oil paper umbrella is a traditional Chinese handicraft（手型艺品）.It has a history of over1，000 years in China.In early Tang Dynasty，it was introduced to Japan and Korea，so it was called the "Tang Umbrella".Later oil paper umbrellas were spread to other Asian countries，such as Vietnam，Thailand and Laos，and each had its own style.However，as steel﹣ribbed（钢骨的）umbrellas appeared in the last century，the handmade oil paper umbrellas became less used in daily life.They were turned into decorative artifacts（装饰性工艺品）.
Yuhang in Hangzhou is known for making oil paper umbrellas for more than 230 years.They are mainly made of skin paper（皮纸），bamboo，a coating of Tung oil（桐油）.They need to take more than 70 steps to make，including making bamboo ribs，pasting papers（糊纸）and painting patterns（图案）.It takes at least a week to make an umbrella.In 2008，these umbrellas were added to Intangible Cultural Heritage List （非物质文化遗产名录）of China.
A young man called Liu Weixue learned the traditional art of making Yuhang oil paper umbrellas from his grandfather. "I want to bring the art to life." Liu said.He improved the umbrellas to win the hearts of young people.As the traditional paper was easy to break，he started to use a kind of thicker paper.In a test，his umbrellas were opened and closed for 1，000 times without breaking.He used a kind of lighter bamboo to make the umbrellas weigh less.

Police officers Hankins and Pearson work in a large city.They see crimes（犯罪） every day and their work is sometimes dangerous.They work hard for their money.However，these two men put their savings together and even borrowed money to start an education（教育）center to teach young people in a poor part of the city.Hankins and Pearson are certainly "giraffes".

【分析】吉姆以前开车上学，但现在他每天步行上学，因为他想保持健康。
【解答】get/be used to doing sth.习惯于做某事；used to do sth.过去常常做某事；be used to do sth.被用来做某事。根据but now he walks to school every day because he wants to keep fit"但现在他每天步行上学，因为他想保持健康"可知，此处是"吉姆以前开车上学"。
故选：C。
【点评】平时应注重积累常见的动词短语的标志。

﹣﹣﹣Sorry，I don't have much ________ of the computer.（ ）

C．knowledge D．information
【分析】﹣﹣你能帮我检查一下我的电脑出了什么问题吗？

A．has passed；has begun
B．has passed；began
C．have passed；began
D．have passed；has begun
【分析】据说从电影开始到现在已经一个半小时了。
【解答】根据句意：据说从电影开始到现在已经一个半小时了。由since the film...可知主句时态是现在完成时，主语one and a half hours是指一个半小时。时间作为整体，做主语时，谓语动词用单数形式，所以第一空是has+过去分词；since从句用一般过去时。
故选：B。
【点评】熟悉现在完成时和一般过去时的用法，结合题意，给出答案。
4．（3分）I don't know _______ to learn English well.Can you give me some ______？（ ）
A．why；advice B．why；advices
C．how；advice D．how；advices
【分析】我不知道怎样学好英语。你能给我一些建议吗？
【解答】why为什么，后面不能直接跟动词不定式，排除答案A和B，how怎么样，advice建议，不可数名词，没有名词复数形式，排除答案B和D；how to learn English well如何学好英语。
故选：C。
【点评】考查疑问词+动词不定式结构，注意why后面不能跟动词不定式，以及不可数名词没有名词复数形式，结合语境选择合适的答案。
5．（3分）﹣___________I come back before five o'clock？

A．Need；must；mustn't B．May；mustn't；can't
C．Can；can't；can't D．Must；needn't；can't
【分析】﹣﹣我必须五点以前回来吗？
﹣﹣不，你不需要．但是你不能迟于七点回来．
【解答】考查情态动词．第二个空，由No不，否定回答可知，A不正确．May开头的一般疑问句，否定回答不用mustn't不必．B不正确．结合语境"﹣﹣我__五点以前回来吗？﹣﹣不，你___．但是你不能迟于七点回来"可知，C选项"can能．can't不能"不符合句意．第一个空用must．第二个空，must开头的一般疑问句用needn't回答．第三个空用can't不能．
故选：D。
【点评】情态动词无人称和数的变化；不能单独使用，必须与其后的动词原形构成谓语．否定形式通常在后面加not．要注意情态动词的不同用法．
6．（3分）You can only borrow two books if you don't have a library card．（ ）
A．on time B．in time
C．from time to time D．at a time
【分析】如果你没有借书卡，你只能一次借两本书．
【解答】答案：D．
首先明确选项中每个单词或短语的意思，A：按时；B：及时；C：不时；D：一次；根据题干结合推测设空处句子的句意是"如果你没有借书卡，你只能一次借两本书．"，由此判断句子中缺少"一次"一词，故答案为D．
【点评】英语介词的一个特点是一词多义，并且介词间语义交叉现象很多，习惯用法也很多，有时很难从词义上区分开来．故学习中要注意不断总结，熟记一些介词和动词的固定搭配用法及习惯用法，是完成此类问题的捷径．
7．（3分）﹣﹣﹣Where is your father？
﹣﹣﹣He ______ Australia and he______Sydney for two weeks．（ ）
A．has been to；has been in
B．has gone to；has been in
C．has been in；has been to
D．has gone to；has been to
【分析】﹣﹣﹣你爸爸去哪儿了？
﹣﹣﹣他去澳大利亚了，他在悉尼已经两个星期了．
【解答】have/has been to表示去过某地，人已经回来；have/has gone to表示去了某地，人未回来；have/has been in 表示到达（在）某地．结合句意：﹣﹣﹣你爸爸去哪儿了？﹣﹣﹣他去澳大利亚了，他在悉尼已经两个星期了．
故选：B。
【点评】本题考查的是动词的固定搭配，理解句意并熟记固定用法是解答本题的关键．
8．（3分）﹣﹣﹣When ______ your cousin _______ his hometown？
﹣﹣﹣He _______ for nearly three years.（ ）
A．has；left；has been away
B．did；leave；has left
C．has；left；has left
D．did；leave；has been away
【分析】﹣你表弟什么时候离开家乡的？
﹣他已经离开将近三年了。
【解答】根据句意：﹣你表弟什么时候离开家乡的？﹣他已经离开将近三年了。可知问句是一般过去时，用助动词did+动词原形；由for nearly three years可知答语是现在完成时，主语he接has+过去分词。和时间段nearly three years连用，要用延续性动词。be away能延续。
故选：D。
【点评】熟悉一般过去时和现在完成时的用法，结合题意，给出答案。
9．（3分）﹣﹣﹣He's never interested in history books，__________he？
﹣﹣﹣__________.He likes science books best.（ ）
A．is；No，he isn't B．isn't；Yes，he is
C．hasn't；No，he hasn't D．has；Yes，he has
【分析】﹣﹣他从未对历史书感兴趣，是吗？
﹣﹣是的。他对历史书不感兴趣。他最喜欢科学书。
【解答】本题考点是反意疑问句的构成和回答。首句是一个反意疑问句，前半部分是一个否定句，时态是一般现在时，主语是he，系动词是is，因此后半部分要使用肯定句，系动词仍使用is；根据He likes science books best可知前面的答语应是否定的（是的，他对历史书不感兴趣。）。只要答语是否定的，就要用no，因此本题正确答案是A。
故选：A。
【点评】本题主要考查反意疑问句的基本知识。
10．（3分）﹣﹣﹣ Would you mind______me the way to Times Square？
﹣﹣﹣ _______． I'm new here．（ ）
A．to show； Of course not．
B．showing； I'm afraid not
C．to showing； Not at all
D．showing； Never mind
【分析】你能告诉我去时代广场的路吗？
恐怕不行，我是新来的．
【解答】介意干某事mind doing 是固定表达，排除A，B；根据语境：你能告诉我去时代广场的路吗？恐怕不行，我是新来的．故第二个空用I'm afraid not．
故选：B．
【点评】此题考查情景对话，在理解语境的基础上，结合选项，仔细分析，便可得出正确答案．

【解答】be used to doing sth.习惯于做某事；keep in touch保持联系；根据题干知本题为一般将来时态，will（将要；将会）后跟动词原形。
故答案为：will be used to keeping in touch。

31．（1分）他热爱了解世界，从小就梦想着出国旅游。
He loves learning about the world and has dreamed of traveling abroad since he was very young.
【分析】他热爱了解世界，从很年轻时就梦想着出国旅游。
【解答】梦想出国旅游：dream of traveling abroad；根据从句since he was very young.（自从他很年轻时）时态可知，空处所在的句子应用现在完成时，构成形式为：have/has done，主语是第三人称单数，故助动词应用has，dream的过去分词是dreamed。
故填：has dreamed of traveling abroad。
【点评】根据汉语和语法做出正确答案。
八、综合填空（10分）
32．（10分）Mr.Brown was（1） worried （worry） that his wife wasn't hearing as well as she used to.He called his family doctor（2） to discuss （discuss） the problem. "Well，it is quite important for you to do a test" said the doctor.Stand 40 feet away from her and speak as loud as you can.See if you can be heard.If she cannot hear you，cut the distance（距离） into 30 feet，then 20 feet，and so on （3）u ntil you get a reply.This will help us decide if she needs a hearing aid（助听器）."
That evening，Mr.Brown was ready to do the test while Mrs.Brown（4） was cooking （cook） dinner in the kitchen.He got 40 feet away from her and asked.

【分析】本文主要介绍了布朗先生以为布朗夫人听不见了，就告诉了家庭医生，医生让他做一个测试，结果是布朗先生听不见了。
【解答】（1）考查形容词。句意：布朗先生担心他妻子的听力不如以前好了。根据his wife wasn't hearing as well as she used to（他妻子的听力不如以前好了）可知布朗先生担心。be worried担心。故填worried。
（2）考查动词不定式。句意：他打电话给他的家庭医生讨论这个问题。根据句意，可知此处是动词不定式表示目的。故填to discuss。
（3）考查连词。句意：如果她听不见你说话，把距离缩短到30英尺，然后是20英尺，以此类推，直到你得到答复。根据"reduce the...into 30 feet，then 20 feet，and so on...you get a response.（把距离缩短到30英尺，然后是20英尺……你得到答复。）"可知此处是指减少距离到30英尺，然后20英尺，直到你得到一个回应，所以要用until来填空，引导时间状语从句。故填until。
（4）考查动词。句意：那天晚上，布朗太太在厨房做饭时，布朗先生准备做测试。根据句意，可知此处是指当布朗夫人正在厨房里做饭的时候，布朗先生准备做这个测试，主句使用了一般过去时，从句中使用过去进行时，表示与主句动作同时进行，所以要用was cooking来填空。故填was cooking。
（5）考查副词比较级。句意：他靠近了一点，问道："亲爱的，晚餐吃什么？"根据He moved a little（他移动一点）可知此处是指他移动的更近了，并问道，前面的词语是a little，所以要用副词比较级closer来填空。故填closer。
（6）考查副词。句意：仍然没有回复。根据no reply（没有回复）可知是指仍然没有回复。故填Still。
（7）考查动名词。句意：他走到厨房门口，不停地问同一个问题。根据动词kept，可知此处是指他走到厨房门口，不停地问同一个问题，keep doing固定短语，不停地做某事，所以要用动名词asking来填空。故填asking。
（8）考查动词。句意：这是我第五次说鸡了!根据the fifth time（第五次）可知时态是现在完成时，I接have+过去分词。故填have said。
（9）考查形容词。句意：布朗夫人用一种生气的声音喊道。根据This is the fifth time I...（say），CHICKEN!!（这是我第五次说鸡了!）可知布朗夫人用一种生气的声音喊道。故填angry。
（10）考查反身代词。句意：大多数时候，问题可能不是出在别人身上，而是出在我们自己身上。根据the problem may not be with others （问题可能不在别人身上）可知此处是指问题是出在我们自己身上。故填ourselves。
【点评】答题时要先通读全文，了解大意，然后根据语境以及上下文逐一作答。要考虑句型，语法，固定搭配等因素。最后通读一遍，逐一验证答案。

四、阅读理解（30分）
12．（8分）The oil paper umbrella is a traditional Chinese handicraft（手型艺品）.It has a history of over1，000 years in China.In early Tang Dynasty，it was introduced to Japan and Korea，so it was called the "Tang Umbrella".Later oil paper umbrellas were spread to other Asian countries，such as Vietnam，Thailand and Laos，and each had its own style.However，as steel﹣ribbed（钢骨的）umbrellas appeared in the last century，the handmade oil paper umbrellas became less used in daily life.They were turned into decorative artifacts（装饰性工艺品）.
Yuhang in Hangzhou is known for making oil paper umbrellas for more than 230 years.They are mainly made of skin paper（皮纸），bamboo，a coating of Tung oil（桐油）.They need to take more than 70 steps to make，including making bamboo ribs，pasting papers（糊纸）and painting patterns（图案）.It takes at least a week to make an umbrella.In 2008，these umbrellas were added to Intangible Cultural Heritage List （非物质文化遗产名录）of China.
A young man called Liu Weixue learned the traditional art of making Yuhang oil paper umbrellas from his grandfather. "I want to bring the art to life." Liu said.He improved the umbrellas to win the hearts of young people.As the traditional paper was easy to break，he started to use a kind of thicker paper.In a test，his umbrellas were opened and closed for 1，000 times without breaking.He used a kind of lighter bamboo to make the umbrellas weigh less.

A giraffe is an animal that stick （伸出） its neck out，can see places far away and has a large heart.It lives a quiet life and moves around in an easy and beautiful way.In the same way，a "giraffe" can be a person who likes to "stick his or her neck out" for other people，always watches for future happenings，has a warm heart for people around，and at the same time lives a quiet and beautiful life.

Claude and Louise were getting old and they left their work with some money that they saved for future use.One day，however，they saw a homeless man looking for a place to keep warm and they decided that they should "stick their neck out" and give him some help.Today，they live in Friends' House，where they invite twelve homeless people to stay every night.
Police officers Hankins and Pearson work in a large city.They see crimes（犯罪） every day and their work is sometimes dangerous.They work hard for their money.However，these two men put their savings together and even borrowed money to start an education（教育）center to teach young people in a poor part of the city.Hankins and Pearson are certainly "giraffes".

故选：D。

【分析】﹣﹣他从未对历史书感兴趣，是吗？
﹣﹣是的。他对历史书不感兴趣。他最喜欢科学书。
【解答】本题考点是反意疑问句的构成和回答。首句是一个反意疑问句，前半部分是一个否定句，时态是一般现在时，主语是he，系动词是is，因此后半部分要使用肯定句，系动词仍使用is；根据He likes science books best可知前面的答语应是否定的（是的，他对历史书不感兴趣。）。只要答语是否定的，就要用no，因此本题正确答案是A。
故选：A。
【点评】本题主要考查反意疑问句的基本知识。

D．showing； Never mind
【分析】你能告诉我去时代广场的路吗？
恐怕不行，我是新来的．
【解答】介意干某事mind doing 是固定表达，排除A，B；根据语境：你能告诉我去时代广场的路吗？恐怕不行，我是新来的．故第二个空用I'm afraid not．
故选：B．
【点评】此题考查情景对话，在理解语境的基础上，结合选项，仔细分析，便可得出正确答案．

（5）考查副词比较级。句意：他靠近了一点，问道："亲爱的，晚餐吃什么？"根据He moved a little（他移动一点）可知此处是指他移动的更近了，并问道，前面的词语是a little，所以要用副词比较级closer来填空。故填closer。
