C．should D．needn't

34．B　考查情态动词表推测的用法。由语境“因为你知道很多词汇”可知，“你练习中的问题不可能是词汇量不够造成的”，故用couldn't表示否定推测，意思是“不可能”。

【要点综述】本文属于议论文，主要讲述了学习一门外语的意义，以及在学习过程中会遇到的一些困难和阻碍。文章最后鼓励大家不要畏惧，要勇于挑战自我，最终一定会学好这门外语的。

36．C　考查形容词词义辨析。such as后列举的your job和your studies都是学习英语的实际需要，故选practical，意思是“实际的”。

37．D　考查前后句逻辑关系推理。该句承接上一句，继续讲学习外语的原因。由前一句中“such as your job or your studies”及本句中“films or music”可知，学习外语的理由有很多，故用or表示不确定推测，可译成“或者是”。

38．A　考查名词词义辨析。空格所在句中，并列连词or连接的应该是和film, music同一范畴的名词，四个选项中，literature最贴切，故选A。

39．B　考查名词词义辨析。学习外语，掌握了外语知识，有助于欣赏外国文学、电影或音乐，故选B。a knowledge of…意思是“……方面的知识，对……的了解”。

40．C　考查名词词义辨析。该句中，traditional classes指的是“传统课堂”，由此推断，前后句是比较不同的外语学习方法，故选C。

41．D　考查动词词义辨析。这句话是对上句作解释说明，讲的是传统课堂为学生“提供”了良好的学习氛围，故选D。

42．C　考查名词词义辨析。传统教学方法是在老师“指导”下学习，故选C。

43．A　考查形容词词义辨析。这句话说的是我们的生活是“忙碌的”，故选A。

44．B　考查上下文逻辑关系。由后面几句话可知，这里讲的是学习外语是需要“时间”的，故选B。

45．C　考查名词词义辨析。由前一分句“You will have more success if you study regularly”可知，学习外语应该常态化，把它发展成“例行公事”或“日常事务”，故选C。

46．B　考查句意理解。前一分句说“说一口流利的语言需要几年时间”，而并列连词but表示转折意义，由此推断，后一分句说的是“勉强学会一门语言花的时间要少很多”。

47．A　考查上下文理解。由下文“孩子们学习语言确实比大人快”可知，许多成年人觉得自己年纪太大，担心学不好而中途放弃。故选A。

48．B　考查上下文逻辑关系。由上文“许多成年人觉得自己年纪太大，学不好外语”推断，“孩子们学习语言确实比大人快”，故选B。

49．A　考查前后句逻辑关系。前句说“孩子们学习语言确实比大人快”，而but表示转折意义，由此可知，后一分句说的是“任何年龄的人都能学好外语”，故选A。

50．A　考查上下文逻辑关系。由下文“放松心情，对所犯错误一笑而过”推断，前文说的是“许多人担心犯错”，故选A。

51．D　考查语篇理解。语篇说的是“学习”外语时应该注意的问题，故选D。

52．B　考查固定句型。句型“祈使句＋and＋陈述句”表示条件和结果的关系。

53．D　考查上下文逻辑关系。由后一句“只要付出努力，用心学习，你就会取得进步”推断，前一句说的是“学习一门语言绝不是容易的事”，故选D。

54．B　考查动词词义辨析。你仅仅说了一点儿外语就得到外国友人的积极回应，你会为此惊诧不已，故选B。

55．A　考查句意理解。这里指代的是句中提到的“some people”，用their。故选A。考生在做此类题时，容易以自我为中心，而误选C项our。这句话是一个状语从句，when引导的从句是解释说明some people的状况，因此只有their符合题意。

第三部分　阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

The Healthy Habits Survey(调查)shows that only about one third of American seniors have correct habits. Here are some findings and expert advice.

1.How many times did you brush your teeth yesterday?

·Finding：A full 33% of seniors brush their teeth only once a day.

·Step：Remove the 300 types of bacteria in your mouth each morning with a batteryoperated toothbrush. Brush gently for 2 minutes, at least twice a day.

2．How many times did you wash your hands or bathe yesterday?

·Finding：Seniors, on average, bathe fewer than 3 days a week. And nearly 30% wash their hands only 4 times a day—half of the number doctors recommend.

·Step：We touch our faces around 3，000 times a day—often inviting germs(病菌)to enter our mouth, nose, and eyes.Use toilet paper to avoid touching the door handle. And, most important, wash your hands often with hot running water and soap for 20 seconds.

3．How often do you think about fighting germs?

·Finding：Seniors are not fighting germs as well as they should.

·Step：Be aware of germs. Do you know it is not your toilet but your kitchen sponge(海绵)that can carry more germs than anything else? To kill these germs, keep your sponge in the microwave for 10 seconds.

56.What is found out about American seniors?

A．Most of them have good habits.

B．Nearly 30% of them bathe three days a week.

C．All of them are fighting germs better than expected.

D．About one third of them brush their teeth only once a day.

57．Doctors suggest that people should wash their hands ________．

C．four times a day D．eight times a day

58．Which of the following is true according to the text?

C．A kitchen sponge can carry more germs than a toilet.

D．We should wash our hands before touching a door handle.

59．The text probably comes from ________．

A．a guide book B．a popular magazine

C．a book review D．an official document

【要点综述】这是一份调查报告，是针对美国老年人的健康习惯所做的调查。

56．D　细节理解题。根据第一项调查中“A full 33% of seniors brush their teeth only once a day.”可知，大约有三分之一的美国老年人一天只刷一次牙。

57．D　细节理解题。根据第二项调查中“…4 times a day—half of the number doctors recommend”可知，四次是医生建议次数的一半，也就是说，医生建议老年人每天洗八次手，故选D。

58．C　细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二句“Do you know it is not your toilet but your kitchen sponge that can carry more germs than anything else？”可知，厨房里的海绵比卫生间带有的细菌还要多。

59．B　推理判断题。由文章内容可知，这是一份调查报告，是针对美国老年人的健康习惯所做的调查。这样的文章理应不会出现在“旅游指南”“书评”“官方文件”里，故排除A、C、D。流行杂志做这样的调查报告很常见，故选B。

Using too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger，but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways. You may wonder how paving(铺砌) a road can lead to less usable fresh water. A major part of the water we use every day is groundwater. Groundwater does not come from lakes or rivers.It comes from underground. The more roads and parking lots we pave，the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater.

Human activity is not responsible for all water shortages(短缺). Drier climates are of course more likely to have droughts(干旱) than areas with more rainfall，but in any case, good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs.

Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference，too. In the United States，a family of four can use 1.5 tons of water a day! This shows how much we depend on water to live，but there's a lot we can do to lower the number.

You can take steps to save water in your home.To start with，use the same glass for your drinking water all day.Wash it only once a day.Run your dishwasher (洗碗机)only when it is full. Help your parents fix any leaks in your home. You can even help to keep our water supply clean by recycling batteries instead of throwing them away.

60．Which of the following is most likely to lead to less groundwater?

A．Using river water.

B．Throwing batteries away.

C．Paving parking lots.

D．Throwing rubbish into lakes.

61．What can be inferred from the text?

A．All water shortages are due to human behavior.

B．It takes a lot of effort to meet our water needs.

C．There is much we can do to reduce family size.

D．The average family in America makes proper use of water.

62．The last paragraph is intended to ________．

A．show us how to fix leaks at home

B．tell us how to run a dishwasher

C．prove what drinking glass is best for us

D．suggest what we do to save water at home

63. The text is mainly about ________．

A．why paving roads reduces our water

B．how much we depend on water to live

C．why droughts occur more in dry climates

D．how human activity affects our water supply

【要点综述】人类活动对地球水资源供给的影响巨大，人类应该通过调整自身的活动方式来改变自身的生存环境。

60．C　细节理解题。根据第一段“The more roads and parking lots we pave, the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater.”可知，铺设马路、停车场会导致地下水减少，而A、B、D三项都会导致水的供应量减少，而不是地下水减少，故排除。

61．B　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“good management”、第三段中的“the way we use water every day”，以及第四段中的“take steps to save water in your home”可知，为满足我们用水的需求，需要做的努力还有很多。

62．D　推理判断题。根据题干中的关键词“last paragraph”定位到该段第一句“You can take steps to save water in your home.”，且它后面的内容都是围绕这个主题句展开的。

63．D　主旨大意题。根据题干中的关键词“mainly about”定位到全文的内容。文章第一段讲的是“铺设马路、停车场会导致地下水减少”，后三段讲述了“为了满足我们的用水需求，我们能做些什么”。所有这些讲的都是人类活动对地球水资源供给的影响，故选D。

When 19yearold Sophia Giorgi said she was thinking of volunteering to help the MakeAWish Foundation (基金会)，nobody understood what she was talking about.But Sophia knew just how important MakeAWish could be because this special organization had helped to make a dream come true for one of her best friends.We were interested in finding out more，so we went along to meet Sophia and listen to what she had to say.

Sophia told us that MakeAWish is a worldwide organization that started in the United States in 1980.“It's a charity(慈善机构)that helps children who have got very serious illnesses. MakeAWish helps children feel happy even though they are sick, by making their wishes and dreams come true，” Sophia explained.

We asked Sophia how MakeAWish had first started.She said it had all begun with a very sick young boy called Chris，who had been dreaming for a long time of becoming a policeman.Sophia said lots of people had wanted to find a way to make Chris's dream come true—so, with everybody's help, Chris, only seven years old at the time，had been a “policeman” for a day.“When people saw how delighted Chris was when his dream came true, they decided to try and help other sick children too，and that was the beginning of MakeAWish，” explained Sophia.

Sophia also told us the Foundation tries to give children and their families a special, happy time. A MakeAWish volunteer visits the families and asks the children what they would wish for if they could have anything in the world. Sophia said the volunteers were important because they were the ones who helped to make the wishes come true. They do this either by providing things that are necessary, or by raising money or helping out in whatever way they can.

64．Sophia found out about MakeAWish because her best friend had ________．

A．They are important for making wishes come true.

B．They try to help children get over their illnesses.

C．They visit sick children to make them feel special.

D．They provide what is necessary to make MakeAWish popular.

【要点综述】本文通过对索菲亚的采访，向读者介绍了MakeAWish这个国际组织。

64．A　细节理解题。根据第一段“But Sophia knew just how important MakeAWish could be because this special organization had helped to make a dream come true for one of her best friends.”可知，Sophia的好友从中受益匪浅，故选A。

65．A　细节理解题。根据第二段“MakeAWish is a worldwide organization…‘It's a charity…’”可知，MakeAWish是一个国际慈善机构。

66．B　推理判断题。根据第三段“When people saw how delighted…that was the beginning of MakeAWish”可知，人们成立这个组织是从Chris身上得到灵感的。

67．A　推理判断题。根据末段“…volunteers were important because they were the ones who helped to make the wishes come true.”可知，MakeAWish的志愿者有助于人们实现自己的梦想。

“People are ruder today because they are rushed and more ‘time poor’ than ever before，” says Patsy Rowe, “Manners_have_fallen_off_the_radar(雷达)．” Due to our strong attraction to electronic equipment it is a wonder more people don't wake up each morning and greet the singing birds with a complaint(抱怨)about the noise. Here are some examples of rudeness.

Some people prefer to do almost everything over the Internet. To them, dealing with an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward. It feels very slow because humans don't work at 4G speeds. When you have dinner with friends, you will often notice someone paying more attention to his mobile phone. We have programmed ourselves to think that every new message brings lifechanging news, so taking calls and checking our texts are more important than talking to the people we are with. What is worse, some people even tend to send anonymous(匿名的) rude messages by email.

However, rudeness is never acceptable. Don't assume it is OK to be rude if the person you're in touch with won't recognize you. If you have something awful to say, have the courage to face the person and say it, write a letter or email and sign it, or forget it. Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting.

We shouldn't blame technology for our shortcomings.Technology is here to help us，but we should not allow it to take over our lives. An important step is acknowledging our shortcomings.People spend a lot of time pointing out bad manners but it would be even more helpful if we'd publicly acknowledge good manners when we see them.

68．What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1?

A．People can tell good from bad behavior.

B．Radar is able to observe human behavior.

C．People care little about their behavior.

D．Radar can be used to predict human behavior.

69．Some people are less willing to deal with humans because ________．

A．they are becoming less patient

B．they are growing too independent

C．they have to handle many important messages

D．they have to follow an evolutionary step backward

70．The author thinks sending unsigned awful messages is ________．

A．ridiculous B．disgusting

C．acceptable D．reasonable

71．What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A．We should applaud good behavior.

B．Technology can never be blamed.

C．We should keep pointing out mistakes.

D．Technology will take over our lives one day.

【要点综述】科技的发展改变了人们的生活方式。许多人变得冷酷无礼了，他们不愿意与别人交流，整天宅在家里上网。

68．C　句意理解题。根据第一段“People are ruder today because they are rushed and more ‘time poor' than ever before”可知，“现在的人变得更加没有礼貌”，而画线句是对该句作补充说明的，意思是“现在的人们不注意自己的行为举止(礼貌行为用雷达都探测不到)”，故选C。

69．A　推理判断题。根据题干中“less willing to deal with humans”定位到文章第二段中第二、三句内容。由此可知，有些人不愿意跟人打交道是嫌人太慢(feels very slow)，达不到4G速度(don't work at 4G speeds)。也就是说，这些人变得缺乏耐心。故选A。

70．B　细节理解题。根据题干中“unsigned awful messages”定位到第三段最后一句“Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting.”。由线索定位中的句子可知，发一些不署名的恶俗信息很令人厌烦。

71．A　推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“…it would be even more helpful if we'd publicly acknowledge good manners when we see them.”可知，作者认为，我们应该为那些礼貌行为喝彩。故选A。

Argentina in the late nineteenth century was an exciting place.Around 1870，it was experiencing an economic(经济的)boom，and the capital，Buenos Aires，attracted many people.Farmers，as well as a flood of foreigners from Spain and Italy，came to Buenos Aires seeking jobs.These jobs didn't pay well，and the people felt lonely and disappointed with their new life in the city.As the unhappy newcomers mixed together in the poor parts of the city，the dance known as the tango(探戈舞) came into being.

At the beginning the tango was a dance of the lower classes.It was danced in the bars and streets.At that time there were many fewer women than men，so if a man didn't want to be left out，his only choice was to dance with another man so that he could attract the attention of the few available women.Gradually，the dance spread into the upper classes of Argentinean society and became more respectable.

In Europe at this time，strong interest in dance from around the world was beginning. The interest in international dance was especially evident in Paris.Every kind of dance from ballet(芭蕾舞) to belly dancing could be found on the stages of the Paris theaters. After tango dancers from Argentina arrived in Europe，they began to draw the interest of the public as they performed their exciting dance in cafes. Though not everyone approved of the new dance，saying it was a little too shocking，the dance did find enough supporters to make it popular.

The popularity(流行)of the tango continued to grow in many other parts of the world.Soldiers who returned to the United States from World War Ⅰ brought the tango to North America.It reached Japan in 1926，and in 2003 the Argentinean embassy in Seoul hired a local tango dancer to act as a kind of dance ambassador，and promote tango dancing throughout South Korea.

72．The origin of the tango is associated with________．

A．belly dancers B．American soldiers

C．a Spanish city D．the capital of Argentina

73．Which of the following is true about the tango?

A．It was created by foreigners from Spain and Italy.

B．People of the upper classes loved the tango most.

C．It was often danced by two males in the beginning.

D．A dancer in Seoul became the Argentinean ambassador.

74．Before World War Ⅰ，the tango spread to________．

A．America B．Japan

C．France D．South Korea

75．What can be the best title for the text?

A．How to Dance the Tango

B．The History of the Tango

C．How to Promote the Tango

D．The Modern Tango Boom

【要点综述】你知道探戈舞的历史吗？它是如何诞生的？又如何传播到世界各地？且看本文一一道来。

72．D　细节理解题。根据题干中“the origin of the tango”定位到第一段的内容，可知探戈起源于阿根廷首都，故选D。

73．C　推理判断题。根据题干中的关键词“tango”定位到文章第二段第三句“At that time, there were many fewer women than men, so if a man didn't want to be left out, his only choice was to dance with another man so that he could attract the attention of the few available women.”，因此可知C项正确。

74．C　细节理解题。根据题干中的关键词“Before World WarⅠ”定位到最后一段。探戈传到美国是第一次世界大战结束后，传到日本是1926年，传到韩国更晚。由此可知，答案A、B、D均不对。而从文章第三段可知，探戈传到法国应该是在第一次世界大战之前。故选C。

75．B　主旨大意题。根据题干中的关键词“best title”定位到文章的内容。由文章内容可知，文章首段讲述了探戈的诞生，接着讲述了探戈的传播，也就是说，全文讲述的是探戈的历史。故选B。

注意：每个空格只填一个单词。

Aristotle once wrote that “happiness is a state of activity”. In other words, whether you're seeking lifelong satisfaction or a few moments of good cheer, you've got to move forward. We've interviewed the experts and found five steps to take toward a sunny mood(心情)：

Over a 30year period, University of Illinois researchers asked nearly 120，000 people how income, education, political participation, volunteer activities and close relationships affected their happiness. Reported Newsweek's Sharon Begley on the findings, “The highest levels of happiness are found with the most stable and satisfying relationships.”

Singing aloud, talking to a stranger, raising your hand: all may increase a feeling of happiness, according to a study from Wake Forest University. Participants(参与者)followed the development of their moods for two weeks and reported feeling happier when they were more outgoing and less happy when reserved or withdrawn.

The editors of forbes.com gave $5 or $20 to 46 strangers by chance. Half the group was told to spend the money on themselves, while the other half was told to spend it on others. Those who'd shared the wealth felt much happier at the end of the day than those who'd spent it on themselves. There was no difference in happiness between those who spent $5 or $20, suggesting that it's not how much money you spend, but how you spend it, that inspires the spirit.

Studies from the Positive Psychology Center showed that discouraged people who wrote down three good things that happened to them each day for six months reported an improved attitude.

Drinking water really can help keep you cheerful. A small 2012 study from the University of Connecticut suggested that even slight dehydration(脱水) affected the moods of its female participants.

　　【要点综述】什么是幸福？幸福在哪里？幸福是一种感觉，只要你用心寻找，你就能感觉到；感觉到了，便是拥有。珍惜拥有的全部，就是最幸福的人。

76．Look(ing)/Search(ing)/Seek(ing)　文章主要告诉我们怎样找到幸福。而search for/look for均为习惯搭配，表示“寻找”。

77．forward/ahead/on　从文章首段第二句“…you've got to move forward”可知答案。

78．experts/researchers　从文章首段最后一句“We've interviewed the experts and found…”可知，下面讲述的是这些专家们的发现。

80．greatest　由文章第二段最后一句可知填greatest。注意此处需要转换一下表述方法。

81．Express　第三段中的“Singing aloud, talking to a stranger, raising your hand”说的都是要表达自己，故填Express。此处是进行总结和概括。

82．sharing　由文章第四段中的“spend it on others”和“shared the wealth”可知答案。注意介词by后用动词ing形式。

83．Focus/Concentrate　由第五段中“discouraged people who wrote down three good things…”可知，要多朝积极的方面想。此外，focus on与concentrate on为习惯搭配。注意此处需要转换一下表述方法。

These days, breaking traffic rules and littering are not uncommon, causing serious harm to life and the environment.Changing this situation requires considerable effort on the part of everyone.As for me, it should start on my way to school.

I will keep traffic rules in mind all the way.If I ride a bicycle, I'll always keep to the right and never cross a road until the traffic light turns green.If I walk, I'll never forget to use the pedestrian crossing.Meanwhile, I'll regard it as my duty to help keep our environment clean and healthy.Not only will I keep from littering and spitting anywhere, I will also help clean up the roadside litter whenever possible.I hope my behavior will make a difference.
