第二部分：词汇知识运用（共两节，满分40分）
第一节：多项选择（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
例：To make members of a team perform better, the trainer first of all has to know their and weaknesses. A. strengths B. benefits C. techniques D. values 答案是A
21. This restaurant has become popular for its wide of foods that suit all tastes and pockets.
A. division B. area C. range D. circle
答案: B
考点：名词/名词短语
解析：此题不仅考察学生对于四个选项的认知，更重要的是要理解句子的含义。“这家餐馆越来越出名 是由于它做的各种各样的食物适应各种类型人群。”“a range of ”强调一个系列，而“a wide range of”意为“各种各样的”。正好符合题意。从句子结构来讲，这个句子属于典型的“从句套从句”。“for”引导原因状语从句，“that”引导定语从句。
22. After the earthquake, the first thing the local government did was to provide for the homeless families.
A. accommodation B. occupation C. equipment D. furniture.
答案: D [ks5u. com]
考点：名词
解析：512的汶川地震，414玉树地震。天灾“earthquake”相信是很多考生都准备过的一个话题。所以相关词汇“accommodation”表示“住处”应该是考生们准备的系列词汇之一。这道题难度不大 ，句子结构也相对 简单。只要背过这几个词，知道“occupation”表示“占用”或者“工作，职业”；“furniture”表示“ 家具 ”；“equipment”表示“设备，器材”就能选出正确答案D了。
23. In this lecture, I can only give you a purely view of how we can live life to the full and make some suggestions about the future.
A. private B. personal C. unique D. different
答案：B
考点：形容词词义辨析
解析：根据词义可以快速排除A和D。A表示“独特的”，D表示“不同的”，只有B和C比较接近。 “private”表示“私人的，私下的， “personal”表示“个人的”， personal view才能表示“个人观点”
24. Mistakes don’t just happen; they occur for a reason. Find out the reason and then making the mistake becomes .
A. favourable B. precious C. essential D. worthwhile
答案：D
考点：形容词词义辨析，同时也涉及到构词法
解析： “worthwhile”表示“值得的，有价值的”表示犯错误是值得的。A表示“喜爱的，赞同的”，B“珍贵的”C“本质的”，只要知道词义，并联系生活常识，该题还是很容易得出答案的。
25. If I find someone who looks like the suspect, my reaction will be to tell the police.
A. physical B. immediate C. sensitive D. sudden
答案：B
考点：考查形容词词义辨析
解析：根据词义可得出答案。 “physical”表示“身体的”； “sudden”表示“突然的”； “sensitive”表示“敏感的”，只有 “immediate”表示“立刻，马上”，等同于 “at once”. 故选B
26. I wasn’t blaming anyone; I said errors like this could be avoided.
A. merely B. mostly C. rarely D. nearly
答案: A
考点：考查副词词义辨析
解析：这道题可能会让一部分同学郁闷一小下。形近词的辨析历来是备受考试青睐的一种考法。乍一眼看上去，这四个词都是以ly结尾，又都是6个字母组成，实在难以辨识。此时的考生，需要冷静下来。分析这里的每 个副词分别是由哪个形容词变化而来，而其形容词的含义实际上和其副词的含义相差无几。“most”（大部分），所以“mostly”(大部分地，通常地)； “near”（临近）“nearly”（几乎）= almost； rare（稀有的）“rarely”（很少地，几乎不）；“mere”（仅仅，只 不过）“merely”（仅仅，只不过）。全句意思“我并没有责 怪任何人，我只是说类似这种错误是可以避免的”。
27. Duty is an act or a course of action that people you to take by social customs, law or religion.
A. persuade B. request C. instruct D. expect
答案: D
考点：考查固定句型
解析：expect sb. to do. “期待/希望某人做某事”。
28. Just as the clothes a person wears, the food he eats and the friends with whom he spends his time, his house his personality.
A. resembles B. strengthens C. reflects D. shapes
答案: C
考点：考查动词词义辨析
解析：“就好像一个人穿什么，吃什么，以及和什么样的人交往能反映人的个性一样，一个人的住房也是如此。”要选一个表示“反映”的词，就是reflect. “resemble” = look like; “strengthen”表示“加强，巩固”；“shape”作动词表示“塑形”.
29. Had he her promise, she would have made it to
A. looked up to B. lived up to
C. kept up with D. come up with
答案：B
考点：动词词组辨析
解析：湖北每年考试的单选最后两题通常比较难。该题的难点不仅仅在于这四个词组的辨析，更主要的是考生要读得懂这个句子的意思。该句是典型的虚拟语气， “if” 引导的非真实条件句的倒装句，描述的事于过去事实是相反的。“如果她当年履行了自己的诺言，她就会进入耶鲁大学了。”look up to（抬头看，尊重）keep up with（跟上，追上）come up with（追赶上；想出；提出），只有live up to（履行，实行）符合题意。
30. It is illegal for a public official to ask people for gifts or money favors to them.
A. in preference to B. in place of
C. in agreement with D. in exchange for
答案：D
考点：词组辨析
解析：先理解短语的意思. In preference to（优先于）；in place of（代替）；in agreement with（同意，与…一致）；in exchange for（交换）。其实辨析这几个介词短语的难度不大，只需要认识每一个短语中的核心词preference, exchange, place, agreement的意思即可，猜测较为容易。
总体而言，这次的词汇题沿袭往年风格，并没有标新立异。难度适中，只需考生的背熟考纲要求的词汇的基础上，掌握基本的近义词和形近词的辨析能力即可。
值得一提的是，瑞瑞这个题型旨在考察词汇，然而如果考生们平时注意词汇的积累，只是单纯知道每个单词的含义，而并 未仔细牢记它们的使用环境。或者说是对句型的理解有限，长难句不知如何分析的话，恐怕在做这类题的时候也容易丢分。
通过笔者的观察，此次词汇题的难度和笔者所教授的新概念英语第二册难度相当，并且很多知识点，比如21题，22题，23题，25题的词汇，27题, 29题, 30题的短语和句型都是咱们新概念二册课堂上讲过的重点。其实，一本好的教材需要的不仅仅是大家的阅读，更重要的是 要从中提炼出有用的语言点，反复咀嚼，消化，以达到运用自如的效果为最终目的。
第二节：完型填空（共20小题；每小题1. 5分，满分30分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

解析：今年的完形填空的文章原型来源于一片叫作“The Blind Bus Passenger”的文章。讲的是一个盲人乘客的故事。20道题的设置基本考察了学生对于文章的理解能力，和根据上下文理解单句的能力。期间也涉及到一些基本语法问题，比如从句，被动语态，固定搭配以及动词短语的选择。
比如31题，考生要知道盲人是看不见的，所有的动作都是靠摸索的，其实这是常识问题，据此可知应该选择“feel”(摸索，感知), 而不应该是“有目的”地去“touch”（触碰）；
32 盲人陷入到黑暗的世界，这种表达在中文里面我们也使用，所以明显应该是“a world of darkness”；
33 单纯考察词汇，sink into hopeless, 描述人陷入到绝望之中，“sink”表示下沉，和人陷入绝望的状态是符 合的。[来源: Ks5u. com]
34 be determined to do sth. 这是新概念二册中的重点句型，下决心做某事，当然你也可以用 make up one’s mind to do sth.
35 人残志不残，她想回到工作之中去，作返回来讲return 是一个不及物动词，因为选D。
36. 考察形容词。Frightened表示恐惧
37. volunteer表示志愿去帮助Susan，现在很流行志愿者，所以大家不会对这个词感到陌生。
38. Until在这里是连词，引导时间状语从句。状语从句是重点语法，大家要注意学习了
39. accompany表示“陪伴”，既然Mark是来帮助Susan的，显然就来陪伴她的
40. 盲人失去的是 “sight”实力，其它的sense（感觉）还是存在的
41. 简单的词汇辨析题，盲人需要适应的是新的environment（环境），而不是新的position（位置）等到
42. on one’s own表示“靠某人自己”本文一直都是在表扬这位盲人的毅力和坚持，希望能够靠自己来维持自己的正常生活。
43. 试想，拥抱自己的丈夫，而且是在分别的时候，感慨万千的时候，应该有的动作当然是 “tightly”（紧紧的），而不是其它的类似于politely（礼貌的）
44. 在接受了别人的帮助后，Susan终于要独自一人登上旅程了。他们各自走各自的路， “separate”表示“分别的”，其实她的背后有很多默默支持她的人，显然不是 “lonely”（孤独的）这样的词
45. take hold of（吸引）； take place of（代替）；take charge of（掌管）；take advantage of（利用）
46. as usual（像往常一样），表示经常发生的动作再次发生
47. envy（嫉妒，羡慕）仔细阅读下面的文章，不难发现，司机是准备告诉Susan一个秘密。也就是要告诉她有很多人在默默地支持和关怀她。所以，根据上下文的理解，可以知道此刻司机是要表达一种羡慕嫉妒之情，也是对Susan的一种宽慰
48. 几个疑问词的选择，不难。
49. 在过于的几个星期中，英文应该是 “for the past week” “next”表示的是下周，还没发生的事情是不可能用完成时的，而且 “for”+一段时间，是现在完成时的时间状语标志
50. sight表示“视力”。文中指的是，Susan虽然失去了视力，但是获得了更多宝贵的东西。
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，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，
并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
It was a Sunday and the heavy storm had lasted all night. The morning after the storm, though, was beautiful: blue skies, warm air and a calm, inviting sea touching the shore gently.
My father realized it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with him. I was only 14 and fishing had never been my thing, but I decided to go all the same. I’m so glad I did.
On the road to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbour itself was in fairly good shape. After all， it was protected by the arms of a bay that had only one tiny channel to the sea. As we got on board, we noticed two big humps(脊背) in the distance.
On approaching them, we saw it was a mother whale with her baby. We couldn’t believe it ——there aren’t any whales along the coast here. The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay, in which the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive.
The little baby whale——actually as big as our boat——was obviously stuck and could not move. The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly, making big whirlpools(漩涡) and waves. ”She’s trying to help her baby, but on the wrong side, ”my father said. At this point, my father moved our boat in a semicircle to the other side and, heading the boat towards the baby whale, pushed it gently. With our several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappeared under water. Then it swam up right beside its mum. They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction. We hurried up to the whales and tried to lead them towards the bay channel. Slowly, they let us lead them, some-times rising from the water right beside us to breathe——and to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes. Once they hit their first part of clean water flowing straight from the sea, the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance.
In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonderful animals for almost an hour and a half. That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day, Nearly four decades later, I still look back fondly to that golden day at sea.
51. The author says “I’m so glad I did. ”(in Para. 2)because __________.
A. he witnessed the whole process of fishing
B. he enjoyed the beauty of the calm sea
C. he experienced the rescue of the whales
D. he spent the weekend with his family
52. The harbour survived the storm owing to____________.
A. the shape of the harbour
B. the arms of the bay
C. the still water in the channel
D. the long coast line
53. The mother whale failed to help her baby because__________.
A. she had stayed in the polluted water for too long
B. the whirlpools she had made were not big enough
C. she had no other whales around to turn to for help
D. the waves pushed her baby in the wrong direction
54. what is the theme of the story?
A. Saving lives brings people a sense of happiness
B. Fishing provides excitement for children
C. It’s necessary to live in harmony with animals
D. It’s vital to protect the environment

B
For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?
Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness. And of course. the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped
In this article. I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right, It doesn’t matter what the topic is –politics. The taws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg –the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong. for both wish to be considered an authority—someone who actually knows something — and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress
55. Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a border conflict?
A. Both can continue for generations.
B. Both are about where to draw the line
C. Neither has any clear winner
D. Neither can be put to an end
56. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.
B. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict
C. The teens cause their parents of misleading them
D. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents
57. Parents and teens want to be right because they want to ________.
A. give orders to the other
B. know more than the other
C. gain respect from the other
D. get the other to behave properly
58. What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?
A. Causes for the parent –teen conflicts
B. Examples of the parent –teen war.
C. Solutions for the parent –teen problems
D. Future of the parent-teen relationship
55. 答案：B
考点：细节理解
解析：从 “Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?”可以得出答案
56. 答案：A
考点：细节理解
解析：从 “In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness. ”和 “except oppositely”可以得出答案
57. 答案：C
考点：细节理解
解析：题干的关键词是want to be right because，回原文定位到最后一个自然段的“Third, needing to be right”. 原文接着往下看“It doesn’t matter what the topic is – politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg - the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority – someone who actually knows something – and therefore to command respect. ” 这句话虽然看起来很复杂，但在新概念的课堂上老师们反复强调阅读长难句时，如果遇到插入语可以跳过不看，这里破折号中间的内容均为插入语，将其省略，句子就会变得简单的多。又由于题干是对原因的提问，这里我们只用重点看for后面的内容，“for both wish to be considered an authority and therefore to command respect”，正确答案为C。
58. 答案：C
考点：考查学生的概括能力
解析：原文第三段说 “In this article. I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. ”清楚地说明了文章的结构，先分类阐述家长与孩子之间矛盾的三种情况，然后给出解决方法，因此答案为C
C
They wear the latest fashions with the most up-to-date accessories (配饰). Yet these are girls in their teens or twenties but women in their sixties and seventies. A generation which would once only wear old-fashioned clothes is now favoring the same high street looks worn by those half their age.
Professor Julia Twigg, a social policy expert, said, “Women over 75 are now shopping for clothes more frequently than they did when they were young in the 1960s. In the 1960s buying a coat for a woman was a serious matter. It was an expensive item that they would purchase only every three or four years — now you can pick one up at the supermarket whenever you wish to. Fashion is a lot cheaper and people get tired of things more quickly. ”
Professor Twigg analyzed family expending（支出）data and found that while the percentage of spending on clothes and shoes by women had stayed around the same—and 5 or 6 per cent of spending—the amount of clothes bought had risen sharply.
The professor said, “Clothes are now
Fashion designer Angela Barnard, who runs her own fashion business in London, said older women were much more affected by celebrity(名流) style than in previous years.
She said, “When people see stars such as Judi Dench and Helen Mirren looking attractive and fashionable in their sixties, they want to follow them. Older women are much more aware of celebrities. There’s also the boom in TV programmes showing people how they can change their look, and many of my older customers do yoga to stay in shape well in their fifties. When I started my business a few years ago, my older customers tended to be very rich, but now they are what I would call ordinary women. My own mother is 61 and she wears the latest fashions in a way she would never have done ten years ago. ”
59. Professor Twigg found that, compared with the 1960s, _______.
A. the price of clothes has generally fallen by 70%
B. the spending on clothes has increased by 5% or 6%
C. people spend 30% less than they did on clothes
D. the amount of clothes bought has risen by 5% or 6%
60. What can we learn about old women in terms of fashion？
A. They are often ignored by fashion designers.
B. They are now more easily influenced by stars.
C. They are regarded as pioneers in the latest fashion.
D. They are more interested in clothes because of their old age.
61. It can be concluded that old women tend to wear the latest fashions today mainly because
A. they get tired of things more quickly
B. TV shows teach them how to change their look
C. they are in much better shape now
D. clothes are much cheaper than before
62. Which is the best possible title of the passage?
A. Age Is No Barrier for Fashion Fans
B. The More Fashionable, the Less Expensive
C. Unexpected Changes in Fashion
D. Boom of the British Fashion Industry

D
This brief book is aimed at high school students, but speaks to anyone learning at any stage of life.
Its formal, serious style closely matches its content, a school-masterly book on schooling. The author, W. H. Armstrong, starts with the basics: reading and writing. In his opinion, reading doesn’t just mean recognizing each word on the page; it means taking in the information, digesting it and incorporating it into oneself just as one digests a sandwich and makes it a part of him. The goal is to bring the information back to life, not just to treat it as dead facts on paper from dead trees.
Only a third of the book remains after that discussion, which Armstrong devotes to specific tips for studying languages, math, science and history. He generally handles these topics thoroughly(透彻地) and equally, except for some weakness in the science and math sections and a bit too much passion(激情) regarding history to his students, that was a hundred times more than my history teachers ever got across. To my disappointment, in this part of the book he ignores the arts. As a matter of fact, they demand all the concentration and study that math and science do, though the study differs slightly in kind. Although it’s commonly believed that the arts can only be naturally acquired, actually, learning the arts is no more natural than learning French or mathematics.
My other comment is that the text aged. The first edition apparently dates to the 1960s—none of the references(参考文献)seem newer than the late 1950s. As a result, the discussion misses the entire computer age.
These are small points, though, and don’t affect the main discussion. I recommend it to any student and any teacher, including the self-taught student.
63. According to Armstrong, the goal of reading is to________.
A. gain knowledge and expand one’s view
B. understand the meaning between the lines
C. experts ideas based on what one has read
D. gets information and keeps it alive in memory
64. The author of the passage insists that learning the arts_________.
A. requires great efforts
B. demands real passion
C. is less natural than learning maths
D. is as natural as learning a language
65. What is a shortcoming of Armstrong’s work according to the author?
A. Some ideas are slightly contradictory.
B. There is too much discussion on studying science.
C. The style is too serious.
D. It lacks new information.
66. This passage can be classified as________.
A. an advertisement
B. a book review
C. a feature story
D. A news report
63. 答案：C
考点：
解析：题干的关键词是goal of reading，回原文定位到第二自然段，第二自然段有两处出现了关键词，一处说“The goal is to bring the information back to life, not just to treat it as dead facts on paper from dead trees. ”，另一处说“the aim of reading is to express the information you have got from the text. ” C选项正好与第二处原文相呼应，题干里的goal of reading呼应原文的aim of reading，C项的express ideas呼应原文的express the information，based on what one has read呼应原文的information you have got from the text。虽然我们不可否认读书的目的也包括A和D两个选项提到的获取知识，扩大视野，但由于原文没有提及，所以不能成为正确选项。
64. 答案：A
65. 答案：D
考点：细节理解
解析：从第三段可以得出答案
66. 答案：B
考点：考查文章体裁
解析： 通过阅读每段的首句，不难发现第一自然段讲本书的写作对象（This brief book is aimed at high school students），二、三自然段讲本书的写作内容（The author, W. H. Armstrong, starts with the basics … only a third of the book remains after that discussion …），第四自然段是作者对本书的评价（My other comment is that …），最后一段总结，向读者推荐这本书（I recommend it to any student and any teacher）。把握住了全文的结构，就不难看出这篇文章是一篇书评了。因此正确答案为B。

Have you winterized your horse yet? Even though global warming may have made our climate more mild, many animals are still hibernating(冬眠). It’s too bad that humans can’t hibernate. In fact, as a species, we almost did.
Apparently, at times in the past, peasants in
In line with this, Jeff Warren, a producer at CBC Radio’s The Current, tells us that the way we sleep has changed fundamentally since the invention of artificial(人造的) lighting and the electric bulb.
When historians began studying texts of the Middle Ages, they noticed something referred to as “first sleep”, which was not clarified, though. Now scientists are telling us our ancestors most likely slept in separate periods. The business of eight hours’ uninterrupted sleep is a modern invention.
In the past, without the artificial light of the city to bathe in, humans went to sleep when it became dark and then woke themselves around midnight. The late night period was known as ”The Watch” It was when people actually kept watch against wild animals, although many of them simply moved around or visited family and neighbours.
According to some sleep researchers, a short period of insomnia(失眠) at midnight is not a disorder. It is normal. Humans can experience another state of consciousness around their sleeping, which occurs in the brief period before we fall asleep or wake ourselves in the morning. This period can be an extraordinarily creative time for some people. The impressive inventor, Thomas Edison, used this state to hit upon many of his new ideas.
Playing with your sleep rhythms can be adventurous, as anxiety may set in. Medical science doesn’t help much in this case. It offers us medicines for a full night’s continuous sleep, which sounds natural; however, according to Warren’s theory，it is really the opposite of what we need.
67. The example of the French peasants shows the fact that________.
A. people might become lazy as a result of too much sleep
B. there were signs of hibernation in human sleeping habits
C. people tended to sleep more peacefully in cold weather
D. winter was a season for people to sleep for months on end
68. The late night was called “The Watch” because it was a time for people______.
A. to set traps to catch animals
B. to wake up their family and neighbours
C. to remind others of the time
D. to guard against possible dangers
69. What does the author advise people to do?
A. Sleep in the way animals do.
B. Consult a doctor if they can’t sleep.
C. Follow their natural sleep rhythm.
D. Keep to the eight-hour sleep pattern.
70. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To give a prescription for insomnia.
B. To urge people to sleep less.
C. To analyze the sleep pattern of modern people.
D. To throw new light on human sleep.

A little boy named Lang Zheng, for instance, impressed and encouraged a great many people when a serious earthquake happened in Wen Chuan/over took Wen Chuan.
