A．is able toB．are able toC．was able toD．were able to

分析 Lily是女孩子中唯一一个能唱英语歌的人．

解答 答案是C．
本题考查主谓一致和时态；在"the only one of+复数名词"充当先行词的结构中，先行词为one，所以关系词在从句中做主语时谓语动词用单数，故排除B和D；根据题干中的was判断句中需要的是过去时，故选C．注意比较：在"one of+复数名词"充当先行词的结构中，先行词为复数名词，所以关系词在从句中做主语时谓语动词用复数．

点评 本题考查主谓一致和时态．积累常见主谓一致的规则，找准主语，结合语境时态合理判断．

11．Tayka Hotel de Sal
Where：Tahua，Bolivia
How much：about﹩95a night
Why it's cool：You've stayed at hotels made of brick or wood，but salt？That's something few can claim．Tayka Hotel de Sal is made totally of salt-including the beds （though you'll sleep on regular mattresses and blankets）．The hotel sits on the Salar de Uyuni，a prehistoric driedup lake that's the world's biggest salt flat．Builders use the salt from the 4，633squaremile flat to make the bricks，and glue them together with a paste of wet salt that hardens when it dries．When rain starts to dissolve the hotel，the owners just mix up more salt paste to strengthen the bricks．
Green Magic Nature Resort
Where：Vythiri，India
How much：about﹩240a night
Why it's cool：Riding a pulleyoperated（滑轮操控的） lift 86feet to your treetop room is just the start of your adventure．As you look out of your open window-there is no glass-you watch monkeys and birds in the rain forest canopy．Later you might test your fear of heights by crossing the handmade rope bridge to the main part of the hotel．You don't even have to come down for breakfast-the hotel will send it up on the pulleydrawn"elevator"．
Dog Bark Park Inn B&B
Where：Cottonwood，Idaho
How much：﹩92a night
Why it's cool：This doghouse isn't just for the family pet．Sweet Willy is a 30foot tall dog with guest rooms in his belly．Climb the wooden stairs beside his hind leg to enter the door in his side．You can relax in the main bedroom，go up a few steps to the loft in Willy's head，or hang out inside his nose．
Gamirasu Cave Hotel
Where：Ayvali，Turkey
How much：between﹩130and﹩475a night
Why it's cool：Experience what it was like 5，000years ago，when people lived in these mountain caves formed by volcanic ash．But your stay will be much more modern．Bathrooms and electricity provide what you expect from a modern hotel，and the white volcanic ash，called tufa，keeps the rooms cool，about 65℉in summer．

8．Teachers say the digital age has had a good influence-and a not-so-good influence-on this generation of American teenagers．More than 2，000teachers took an online survey．Three-quarters of the teachers said the Internet and digital search tools have had a"mostly positive"effect on their students'research habits and skills．But 64percent said the technologies"do more to distract （使…分心） students than to help them academically．"And 87percent agreed that these technologies are creating an"easily distracted generation with short attention spans．"
The Pew Internet Project did the survey with the National Writing Project．Judy Buchanan is the vice director of the National Writing Project and a co-author of the report．Ms．Buchanan says digital research tools are helping students learn more and faster．"Teachers really favor these tools because they are ways to make some of the learning exciting and engaging．Young people favor these tools．The goal is to really help them become creators of meaningful content，and not just sort of consumers．"
But one problem the survey found is that many students lack digital literacy．They trust too much of the information they find on the Internet．Judy says these students haven't developed the skills to determine the quality of online information．"It's something that really has to be taught and paid attention to．Because in a world in which things happen quickly，you do need to step back，reflect and analyze the information you have．"
Another problem is blamed on something that might not seem like a problem at all：being able to quickly find information online．Teachers say the result is a reduction in the desire and ability of their students to work hard to find answers．They say students are overly dependent on search engines and do not make enough use of printed books or research libraries．
Many teachers are also concerned that the Internet makes it easy for students to copy work done by others instead of using their own abilities．

28．The text mainly tells usC．
A．all the students use digital tools        
B．the Internet is playing a key role
C．digital tools bring about benefits and problems
D．teachers encourage using digital tools
29．Which of the following best shows the structure of the text？A

30．The underlined sentence in the third paragraph probably meansB．
A．students do not have the right digital tools
B．students can't judge online information properly
C．students haven't the ability to adjust themselves
D．students do not always have access to the Internet
31．Some students don't tend to work hard becauseD．
A．they can copy each others'work without being punished
B．printed books and libraries around aren't enough
C．the Internet can't make students concentrate
D．they can get answers on the Internet quickly．
15．Wealth is what you accumulate（累积），not what you spend．If you make 1millionayearandspend1 million，you're not getting wealthier，you're just living high．
  The most successful accumulators of wealth spend less than they can afford on houses，cars，vacations and entertainment．Why？Because these things offer little or no return．The
wealthy would rather put their money into investments（投资） or their businesses．It's an attitude．
    Millionaires understand that when you buy an expensive house，you buy an expensive life-style too．Your property taxes（财产税），insurance，and the prices of nearby services tend to be higher．
The rich man's attitude can also be seen in his car．Many drive old cars．Sam Walton，billionaire founder of the Wal-Mart Store，Inc，drove a pickup truck．
Most millionaires measure success by net worth（净值），not income．Instead of taking their money home，they put as much as they can into their businesses．Why？Because the government doesn't tax wealth； it taxes income you bring home for consumption（消费）．
The person who piles up net worth fastest tends to put every dollar he can into investments，not consumption．
The best wealth-builders pay careful attention to their money and seek professional advice．
The self-made rich develop clear goals for their money．They may wish to retire early，or they may want to leave something to their children．The goals vary，but two things are consistent：they have a goal in min d--the amount they want to save by age50，perhaps--and they work unceasingly（不断地）toward that goal．
One thing may surprise you．If you make wealth---not just income--your goal，the expensive house you've been dreaming about won't seem so attractive．You'll have the attitude．
27．In the author's opinion，those who spend money on expensive houses and carsB．
A．will not be taxed by the government
B．live high and have little saved
C．Have accumulated wealth in another sense．
D．can show that they are among rich
28．The rich put their money into business becauseB．
A．they are not interested in luxury houses and cars
B．they can get much in return to build their wealth
C．their goal is to develop their company
D．that is the only way to spend money yet not to be taxed by the government
29．The US government doesn't tax what you spend money onD．
A．cars      B．houses        C．boats        D．Stock（股票）
30．To become wealthy，one shouldA．
A．work hard unceasingly
B．seek as much income as he can
C．stick to the way he lives
D．save up his earnings．
5．Proverbs are quite common in spoken English．We don't normally put them in a composition or a letter．Sometimes it is helpful if you know what common proverbs mean．Here are a few examples．
1）"Once bitten，twice shy．"If a dog bites me，I shall be twice as careful in future when I see it．This proverb is also used to apply to many things and not only to dogs．If you have been cheated at a shop，you will not go to the same shop again．
2）"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush．"If I am a hunter，trying to catch birds，it is better to catch one than to see two birds in a bush but not able to catch them．Thus this means that what you have already got is better than the chance of being able to get something bigger in future．
3）"Too many cooks spoil the broth （soup）"．When too many people do something，they get in each other's way and do a bad job．
4）"To pour oil on troubled waters"is to try to calm things down．Oil is lighter than water．If a ship is in trouble at sea，another ship may come to help it．The second ship can send small boats to rescue people．However，it may first pour oil on the sea to make the sea less rough．
5）"Don't be a dog in a manger（槽）"means"Don't be selfish．"In a stable （马房），the manger is the place where the horse's food is put．Sometimes a dog will sleep in the manger and bark when a horse comes to get its food．The dog does not want to eat the hay in the manger but it will not let the horse eat it．
6）"He is sitting on the fence"means that somebody will not say whether he is in favor of a plan or against it．He is sitting on a fence between two opposing sides，perhaps waiting to see which side will win．
7）"He who pays the piper calls the tune．"A piper is a musician．The man who employs or pays a musician can say what tunes the musician will play．Thus this means that if a man provides the money for a plan，he can say how it will be carried out．
8）"You can't get blood out of a stone"means that you cannot get something from a person who has not got any of the things you want．e．g．you cannot get a million dollars from a poor man．
25．Peter has a bicycle which is much too small for him but he does not want to let his younger brother ride on it．His mother is angry and says to him：B．
A．You can't get blood out of a stone      
B．Don't be a dog in a manger
C．Once bitten，twice shy．
D．To pour oil on troubled waters
26．Mr．Wang paid for a new school．Some people didn't like the design of the school but they didn't argue with Mr．Wang becauseC．
A．he was sitting on the fence            
B．once bitten，twice shy
C．he who pays the piper calls the tune   
D．a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
27．Mrs．Lin wanted to buy a new dress．Her husband suggested that she buy it from a shop near their home．Mrs．Lin disagreed because she had been cheated by that shop．So she said："I won't go there again becauseC．"
A．a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush    
B．I am sitting on the fence
C．once bitten，twice shy                     
D．too many cooks spoil the broth
28．Mr．Brown had quite a good job in Hong Kong but he thought that if he went to Singapore，he might get a much better job with more money and a larger house．His wife didn't want him to leave his job in Hong Kong and she reminded him thatA．
A．a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush  
B．too many cooks spoil the broth
C．you cannot get blood out of a stone         
D．he who pays the piper calls the tune．
12．While Andrew was getting ready for work one Friday morning，he announced to his wife that he had finally decided to ask his boss for a salary raise．All day Andrew felt nervous and anxious as he thought about the upcoming showdown．What if Mr Larchmont refused to grant his request？Andrew had worked so hard in the last 18months and landed some great accounts for his company．Of course，he deserved a wage increase．
The thought of walking into Larchmont's office left Andrew weak in the knees．Late in the afternoon he was finally courageous enough to approach his superior．To his delight and surprise，the ever-frugal（一向节俭的）Harvey Larchmont agreed to give Andrew a raise!
Andrew arrived home that evening-despite breaking all city and state speed limits-to a beautiful table set with their best china，and candles lit．His wife，Tina，had prepared a delicate meal including his favorite dishes．Immediately he figured someone from the office had tipped her off!
Next to his plate Andrew found a beautiful lettered note．It was from his wife．It read："Congratulations，my love!I knew you'd get the raise!I prepared this dinner to show just how much I love you．I am so proud of your accomplishments!"He read it and stopped to reflect on how sensitive and caring Tina was．
After dinner，Andrew was on his way to the kitchen to get dessert when he observed that a second card had slipped out of Tina's pocket onto the floor．He bent forward to pick it up．It read："Don't worry about not getting the raise!You do deserve one!You are a wonderful provider and I prepared this dinner to show you just how much I love you even though you did not get the increase．"
Suddenly tears swelled in Andrew's eyes．Total acceptance!Tina's support for him was not conditional upon his success at work．
The fear of rejection is often softened and we can undergo almost any setback or rejection when we know someone loves us regardless of our success or failure．

56．Which of the following statements about the story is FALSE？D

D．One of Andrew's colleagues had told his wife the good news．
57．Why did Tina prepare a grand dinner for Andrew that day？C

B．She believed that her husband was the best in his company．
C．She meant to show her support to her husband．
D．She wanted to express her gratitude for his devotion to the family．
58．We can conclude from the text thatD．
A．we should never be afraid to ask for what is due to us
B．work hard and you will be rewarded
C．many fears turn out to be unfounded
