题目内容

10．It was raining lightly when I （61）arrived（arrive） in Yangshuo just before dawn．But I didn't care．A few hours（62）before，I'd been at home in Hong Kong，with （63）its（it） choking（窒息的） fog．Here，the air was clean and fresh，even with the rain．
I'd skipped nearby Guilin，a dream place for tourists seeking the limestone mountain tops and dark waters of the Li River （64）whichare pictured by artists in so many Chinese （65）paintings（painting）．Instead，I'd go straight to Yangshuo．For those who fly to Guilin，it's only an hour away （66）bycar and offers all the scenery of the better-known city．
Yangshuo （67）is．（be） really beautiful．A study of travelers （68）conducted（conduct） by the website Trip Advisor considers Yangshuo as one of the top 10 destinations in the world．And the town is fast becoming a popular weekend destination for people in Asia．Abercrombie & Kent，a travel company in Hong Kong，says it （69）regularly（regular） arranges quick holidays here for people （70）living（live） in Shanghai and Hong Kong．

分析 本文主要讲述了作者到阳朔游玩的经历和感受．

解答 61．arrived 考查动词时态．根据前后句时态，都是用的一般过去时． 
62．before 考查副词．由后文"我还在香港的家里"而现在来到了阳朔，可见是"几个小时之前"．
63．its 考查代词．介词with之后是名词作宾语，名词前用物主代词作定语． 
64．which 考查定语从句． 分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句，先行词是mountain tops and dark waters，在从句中作主语，用关系代词which． 
65．paintings 考查名词．painting为可数名词，前面有many，表示很多画，用名词复数形式． 
66．by 考查介词．表示"乘车"用介词by，此处car前没有冠词，没用复数，只有用by合适． 
67．is 考查动词时态，此句意思表达的客观事实，用一般现在时态． 
68．conducted 考查过去分词．由conduct a study/survey （进行研究/调查）可知，a study与conduct是被动关系，用过去分词短语作后置定语． 
69．regularly 考查副词． 该旅游公司定期为人们安排这里适合旅行的地方．这里用副词修饰动词． 
70．living 考查现在分词．在people后作定语，和people之间存在逻辑上的主谓关系，用现在分词作定语．

点评 在一篇200词左右的语篇（短文或对话）中留出10处空白，部分空白的后面给出单词的基本形式，要求考生根据上下文填写空白处所需的内容或所提供单词的正确形式，所填写词语不得多于3个单词．要做好语法填空题，理解短文是解题的前提，扎实的词汇、句型和语法知识是基础，英语国家的背景知识是必要的补充．考生须灵活运用语法知识，如单词词性、单词时态、名词单复数、连接词、代词、冠词等判断各空白处应填写的内容．答完后，还要通读全文，核对所填单词形式是否正确，是否符合语境．

9．Follow the doctor's advice，or/therwise you'll not get better soon．
1．Sabina Caste Franco Rome October 16，2011-The U．N．World Food program says there are growing concerns over food insecurity in the developing world．Some of those concerns are discussed in a report to agree with the anniversary Sunday of World Food Day．
The theme for World Food Day 2011is"Food Prices-From Crisis to Stability"．A ceremony to mark World Food Day will be held Monday at the headquarters of the U．N．Food and Agriculture Organization in Rome．Rising food prices，weather emergencies and political instability are deepening the struggle of families trying to provide for their households in many developing nations．This year's"State of Food Insecurity in the World"report，published last week，focuses on the impact of food price volatility，confirming that high，unpredictable prices are likely to continue．The report highlighted how poor consumers，small farmers and countries dependent on imports，especially in Africa，have been deeply affected by the food and economic crises．
Gregory Barrow is with the World Food Program in Rome．"If you look at the places where World Food program works particularly in developing countries，you see populations of people who might be spending 60，70，80percent of their salaries on purchasing food for their families"．Barrow added that if prices become changeful and generally start rising，even by a small amount，it means that many of these people are going to struggle to put nutritious food on their tables．
The report also showed that even short-term fluctuations （波动） in prices can have a long-term effect on development，and that cutting back on nutritious food in the first 1，000days of a child's life can affect mental and physical development and finally，future earning capacity．The United Nations has programs in place aimed at reducing the number of hungry people by one-half by 2015．But most observers agree this target is unlikely to be reached．

69．The U．N World Food program aims toC．
A．hold a ceremony to mark World Food Day
B．provide food for developing nations
C．show concerns over food insecurity in the developing world
D．introduce the U．N Food and Agriculture Organization in Rome
70．The underlined word"volatility"in paragraph 2meansB．
A．supply     B．instability      C．quality     D．control
71．According to the report，we can learn thatD．
A．people in Africa have been influenced by the food and economic crises
B．the short-term change in prices has nothing to do with development
C．food price changes have little effect on households
D．children's development can be affected by the taking of nutritious food．
18．There is a boy called Bill in my gym class who has unbearably yellow teeth that almost make everyone feel unpleasant．Recently another boy told Bill that he should"go Ajax"his teeth．Bill was crushed．If the other boy had been thinking，he would have realized that there is a better way to handle such a situation．He could have dealt with it with tact．He could have showed this hurtful truth in a more careful，sensitive way-that's"tact"．
If a person isn't sensitive to another's feelings，there is no way he or she can be tactful．Yesterday，my 5-year-old brother proudly announced that he had cleaned the screen on our television set．Unfortunately，he used furniture polish，which produced an oily film on the television screen．My mother smiled arid thanked him for his efforts-and then showed how to clean the screen properly．Her sensitivity enables my brother to keep his self-respect．Yet，sensitivity alone does not make tact．
"Tactfulness"also requires"truthfulness"．Doctors，for example must be truthful．If a patient has just been disabled in an accident，a tactful doctor will tell the truth-but express it with sensitivity．The doctor may try to give the patient hope by telling them curing techniques under study or about advanced equipment now available．Doctors must use tact with patients'relatives as well．Instead of bluntly saying，"Your husband is disabled，"a doctor might say，"I'm sorry，but your husband has lost feeling in his legs and…"
Tact should not be confused with trickery．Trickery occurs when a nurse is about to give a patient an injection（注射） and says，"This won't hurt a bit．"Instead of trickery，the nurse might guarantee the patient that the discomfort of the injection is a small thing compared to the benefits of it．It would also be thoughtful for the nurse to tell the patients about some of these benefits．
Tact is a wonderful skill to have，and tactful people are usually admired and respected．Without tact our society would become an intolerable place to live in．

A．sensitive and tactful                   B．sensitive but not tactful enough

70．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage？C

（The numbers stand for the paragraphs）
5．I was i n a terrible mood．Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadn't invited me．I was in my room thinking of ways to make them sorry when my father came in．"Want to go for a ride，today，Beck？It's a beautiful day．"
"No!Leave me alone!"Those were the last words I said to him that morning．
    My friends called and invited me to go to the mall with them a few hours later．I forgot to be mad at them and when I came home to find a note on the table．My mother put it where I would be sure to see it．"Dad has had an accident．Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital"．
    When I reached the hospital，my mother came out and told me my father's injuries were extensive．"Your father told the driver to leave him alone and just call 911，thank God!If he had moved Daddy，there's no telling what might have happened．A broken rib（肋骨）might have pierced（穿透）a lung…"
My mother may have said more，but I didn't hear．I didn't hear anything except those terrible words：Leave me alone．My dad said them to save himself from being hurt more．How much had I hurt him when I hurled those words at him earlier in the day？
    It was several days later that he was finally able to have a conversation．I held his hand gently，afraid of hurting him．
"Daddy…I am so sorry…"
"It's okay，sweetheart．I'll be okay．"
"No，"I said，"I mean about what I said to you that day．You know，that morning？"
    My father could no more tell a lie than he could fly．He looked at me and said．"Sweetheart，I don't remember anything about that day，not before，during or after the accident．But I remember kissing you goodnight the night before．"He managed a weak smile．
    My English teacher once told me that words have immeasurable power．They can hurt or they can heal．And we all have the power to choose our words．I intend to do that very carefully from now on．

15．American scientists have developed the first material that repairs itself．The material is a form of plastic that has been engineered to fill breaks in its surface．
Plastics are used today in everything．Scientists wanted to find a way to make objects made of plastic last longer．The researchers hope their new discovery can be used to make objects that are difficult or impossible to replace．
The surface of plastic objects breaks over time．Very small breaks develop every time a plastic object is used．The researchers wanted to find out how to stop plastic from developing small breaks that weaken and destroy it．They found the answer in the chemical structure of plastic itself．The research team found a way to make plastic that contains very small balloons filled with monomer（单体） liquid．When the new plastic cracks，the monomer liquid is let out and flows into the crack．Thus the break is repaired．The repaired plastic has seventy-five percent of the strength of undamaged plastic．
The new self-repairing plastic is not yet ready for production．But it has several possible uses．One could be in space vehicles where parts cannot be repaired or replaced．Another possible use might be in bridges．And it could be used in people，to replace bone joints that have become broken or damaged．
33．The passage mainly talks aboutA．
A．plastic that repairs itself

A．the plastic parts in them are required to last longer
B．they want to experiment in these places first
C．the new material cannot be used elsewhere
D．the plastic parts in them are easily broken or damaged．
2．In the Internet age，speed reading is a necessary and important skill．We skim over articles and e-mails to try to get key words and the main idea of the text．With so much information through our electronic devices （电子设备），it would be impossible to get through everything if we read word by word，line by line．However，a new trend calls on people to enjoy reading slowly．
A recent story from The Wall Street Journal reported on a book club in Wellington，New Zealand，where members meet in a café and turn off their smartphones．They sit back in comfortable chairs and read in silence for an hour．
Unlike typical book clubs，the point of the slow reading club isn't to exchange ideas about certain books，but to get away from electronic devices and read in a quiet，relaxed environment．According to the story，the Wellington book club is just one example of a movement started by book lovers who miss the traditional way of reading．
Traditional readers，like Maura Kelly，say a regular reading habit sharpens the mind，improves concentration，reduces stress levels and deepens the ability to understand others．Some of these benefits have been backed up by science．For example，a study of 300 elderly people published by the journal Neurology last year showed that adults who take part in activities that use their brain，such as reading，suffer less memory loss as they get older．Another study published last year in Science showed that reading novels helps people understand others'mental states and beliefs-a key skill in building relationships．
Yet technology has made us less careful readers．Computer and phone screens have changed our reading patterns from the top-to-bottom，left-to-right reading order we traditionally used，to a wild skimming pattern as we hunt for important words and information．Reading text online that has many links to other web pages also leads to weaker comprehension than reading plain text．The Internet may have made us stupider，says British journalist Patrick Kingsley，only half joking．Because of the Internet，he says we have become very good at collecting a wi de range of factual tidbits （花边新闻），but we are also gradually forgetting how to sit back，think and connect all these facts with each other．
25．Speed reading is a necessary and important skill in the Internet age because peopleC．
A．no longer read word by word，line by line
B．have to get the meaning faster
C．have much more information to read
D．must use their smartphones more frequently
26．Members of the Wellington book club are expected toB．
A．make coffee for the other members
B．read peacefully for an hour
C．regularly exchange ideas about books
D．turn off their smartphones for sleeping
27．According to the Neurology study，who is most likely to suffer memory loss？A
A．A 79-year-old woman who reads regularly．
B．A 17-year-old middle school student who seldom reads．
C．A healthy 24-year-old university graduate who often plays games．
D．A 65-year-old man who rarely reads．
28．The last paragraph is written toB．
A．explain the secrets of others'minds
B．describe the problems caused by electronic reading
C．call on people to read more about science
D．encourage people to read as slowly as possible．
19．I was tired out，so I stopped the car        a short rest．（　　）
A．HaveB．havingC．to haveD．had
20．What time is it？Most people are pretty accurate in their answer．And if you don't know for sure，it's very likely that you can find out．There may be a watch on your wrist； there may be a clock on the wall，desk，or computer screen； or maybe you're riding in a car that has a clock in the dashboard（仪表板）．
Even if you don't have a timepiece of some sort nearby，your body keeps its own beat．Humans have an internal clock that regulates（调节） the beating of our heart，the pace of our breathing，the discharge（排出） of chemicals within our bloodstream，and many other bodily functions．
Time is something from which we can't escape．Even if we ignore it，it's still going by，ticking away，second by second，minute by minute，hour by hour．So the main issue in using your time well is，"Who's in charge？"We can allow time to slip by and let it be our enemy（敌人）．Or we can take control of it and make it our ally．
By taking control of how you spend your time，you'll increase your chances of becoming a more successful student．Perhaps more importantly，the better you are at managing the time you devote to your studies，the more time you will have to spend on your outside interests．
The aim of time management is not to schedule every moment so we become all slaves of a timetable that governs every waking moment of the day．Instead，the aim is to permit us to make informed choices as to how we use our time．Rather than letting the day go by，largely without our awareness，what we are going to discuss next can make us better able to control time for our own purposes．

33．The underlined word"ally"in Para.3most likely means somebody or something that isB．
A．your slave and serves you
B．your friend or supporter and helps you
C．under your control and obeys you
D．under your influence and follows you
34．The author intends to tell us that timeC．
A．could be regulated by a timepiece such as a clock or a watch
B．could be managed by the internal clock of human bodies
C．should be well managed for our own interest
D．should be saved for outside interests
35．In the next part，the author would most probably discuss with youD．
A．how to keep up with the times
B．how to make up for lost time
C．how to have a good time
D．how to make good use of time．
