(二)閱讀理解(每小題2分,共8分)
In 1901, H.G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers (探險(xiǎn)者) landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the “moon people”they met. In turn, the “moon people”expressed their surprise. “why,”they asked, “are you traveling to outer space when you don’t even use your inner space?”
H.G. Wells could only imagine traveling to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the“moon people” asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.
Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The “Chunnel”, a tunnel(隧道) connecting England and France, is now completed.
But what about underground cities? Japan’s Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems, called “Alice Cities”. The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping and so on. A solar dome(太陽(yáng)能穹頂) would cover the whole city.
Supporters of underground development say that building down rather that building up is good way to use the earth’s space. The surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H.G. Wells’ “moon people” would agree. Would you?
1. The explorers in H.G. Wells’ story were surprised to find that the“moon people”______.
A. knew so much about the earth B. understood their language
C. lived in so many underground cities D. were ahead of them in space technology
2. What does the underlined word “it” (Paragraph 2) refer to?
A. Discovering the moon’s inner again. B. Using the earth’s inner space.
C. Meeting the “moon people” again. D. Travelling to outer space.
3. What sort of underground systems are already here with us?
A. Offices, shopping areas, power stations.
B. Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas.
C. Gardens, car parks, power stations.
D. Tunnels, gardens, offices.
4. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Alice Cities-Cities of the Future. B. Space Travel with H.G. Wells.
C. Enjoy Living Underground. D. Building down, not up.
Ⅱ.聽(tīng)力導(dǎo)讀
一、語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)講解
1. Fill in the chart on the next page and make a sketch of the animal as they saw.

3. Why does Sam need to know the time? 為什么薩姆需要知道時(shí)間?
need的用法小結(jié):
(1)need作情態(tài)動(dòng)詞,通常用于疑問(wèn)句、否定句、條件句、whether/if名詞從句或含否定意義的句子中。 eg:
I do not see why we need discuss it further.
我看我們沒(méi)有必要討論下去了。
That’s all settled. It needn’t be talked about.

花園需要洗水。
二、如何聽(tīng)的建議
如何確定聽(tīng)力材料所要求聽(tīng)懂的人物、時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)等問(wèn)題是聽(tīng)力訓(xùn)練中我們常遇到的難題,可以從下面幾方面入手:
1.積極進(jìn)行預(yù)測(cè)
要利用已知的信息進(jìn)行分析、加工、歸納、預(yù)測(cè),以達(dá)到快速、準(zhǔn)確理解所接收信息的目的。一定要利用一切可以利用的時(shí)間閱讀問(wèn)題和選項(xiàng),根據(jù)題目中的選項(xiàng)進(jìn)行積極預(yù)測(cè)。
2.注意抓關(guān)鍵詞
捕捉信息重點(diǎn)是聽(tīng)力測(cè)試中的重要一環(huán)。這種能力要在訓(xùn)練時(shí)多加注意,因?yàn)檎f(shuō)話(huà)的人常常通過(guò)句子的重音和語(yǔ)調(diào)來(lái)強(qiáng)調(diào)關(guān)鍵詞。
3.善于跳越難點(diǎn),充分利用重復(fù)信息
聽(tīng)的時(shí)候,注意力要緊跟說(shuō)話(huà)人的思路。不要因?yàn)閭(gè)別單詞沒(méi)聽(tīng)清就不再往下聽(tīng)了。應(yīng)該毫不遲疑地跳過(guò)去,并接著往下聽(tīng)。善于利用上下文和重復(fù)信息猜測(cè)生詞的大意。
4.學(xué)會(huì)記筆記
聽(tīng)力材料不像閱讀材料可以重復(fù)。所以在做聽(tīng)力尤其在聽(tīng)短文或較長(zhǎng)的對(duì)話(huà)時(shí),做些筆記尤為重要。但是,聽(tīng)力測(cè)試中的記應(yīng)是速記,不是聽(tīng)寫(xiě)。速記要使用自己認(rèn)識(shí)的、最簡(jiǎn)便、最迅速的辦法(如字母|縮寫(xiě)、等號(hào),甚至中文)。
Ⅲ.口語(yǔ)導(dǎo)讀

上面兩句中的find themselves surrounded和find him gentle and weak都是find的常見(jiàn)用法。這里surrounded是過(guò)去分詞,gentle和weak是形容詞,它們都用來(lái)作賓補(bǔ)。find的此種用法可歸納為:find+sb./sth.+adj./介詞短語(yǔ)/doing/done/adv./n. 。 eg:

四、典型病句診斷
1.病句:We are not allowed playing with fire.
診斷:We are not allowed to play with fire.
點(diǎn)撥:把句中的playing改為to play。本句使用的是allow sb. to do sth.的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài),應(yīng)該是sb. be allowed to do sth.
2.病句:He has set out to Beijing.
診斷:He has set out for Beijing.
點(diǎn)撥:把句中的to改為for!皠(dòng)身去某地”用“set out for sp.”是固定搭配。
3.病句:This machine has an electric fault.
診斷:This machine has an electrical fault.
點(diǎn)撥:把句中的electric改為electrical。Electric是“用電的/帶電的/發(fā)電的/電的”之意,而electrical表達(dá)“有關(guān)于電的”之意。根據(jù)本句之意,應(yīng)表達(dá)“有關(guān)電的毛病”,所以要把electric改為electrical。
4.病句:Columbus found out America.
診斷:Columbus discovered America.
點(diǎn)撥:found out表示“弄明白,搞清楚”之意。而“哥倫布發(fā)現(xiàn)了美洲”很明顯應(yīng)是發(fā)現(xiàn)本來(lái)就存在而以前未能發(fā)現(xiàn)的美洲,應(yīng)用discover表達(dá)這種含義。
5.病句:We’ll have a party in the open air instead in the house.
診斷:We’ll have a party in the open air instead of in the house.
點(diǎn)撥:instead是副詞,而介詞短語(yǔ)instead of后面才能跟介詞短語(yǔ)。若用instead,上句可改為:We won’t have a party in the house. Instead we will have it ni the open air.。
6.病句:What have you been doing latest?
診斷:What have you been doing lately?
點(diǎn)撥:“l(fā)atest”是adj. ,表達(dá)“最新的;最近的”之意,而句中需要一個(gè)副詞表達(dá)“最近”之意。
7.病句:I took 3 hours doing my homework.
診斷:I spent 3 hours doing my homework.
點(diǎn)撥:spend表“花費(fèi)”之意,其結(jié)構(gòu)是“Sb. spend(s)/spent/will spend some time on sth./(in) doing sth.”。而take當(dāng)“花費(fèi)”講時(shí),結(jié)構(gòu)是“It take/took/will take sb. some to do sth.”。
8.病句:These old pictures reminded me my childhood.
診斷:These old pictures reminded me of my childhood.
點(diǎn)撥:remind不能跟雙賓語(yǔ),即不能構(gòu)成remind sb. sth.結(jié)構(gòu),表達(dá)“提醒某人某事”時(shí)要用“remind sb. of sth.”結(jié)構(gòu)。
9.病句:What have you done by the old things?
診斷:What have you done with the old things?
點(diǎn)撥:by之后加手段或方式,with之后加有形的工具或器官。The old things是工具,所以用with。其次,do with還有“處理”,“放置”之意。
10.病句:All which she did made us very surprised.
診斷:All that she did made us very surprised.
點(diǎn)撥:當(dāng)先行詞為不定代詞時(shí),定語(yǔ)從句應(yīng)由that引導(dǎo),不能用which。all為不定代詞。其他的不定代詞如everything, something, little, much等也符合這種用法。
五、類(lèi)文閱讀針對(duì)性練習(xí)(16分,15分鐘)
A
You are what you eat. This saying has provided scientists with clues(線(xiàn)索)about the diet of hominids-our early relatives of 3 million years ago.
Studying carbon atoms(碳原子)locked up in tooth enamel(琺瑯質(zhì)),two researchers argue against the widely held belief that hominids ate little more than fruits and leaves. Sponheimer and Julia Lee-Thorp of the University of Cape Town, South Africa, report their findings in Friday’s Science.
There aren’t many clues for us to know the life of early hominids. The shape of hominids’ teeth offered the first clues. Large and flat-edged with thick enamel, they looked perfect for eating nuts and fruits, different from the sharp teeth one would want to tear into meat with. The first stone tools, which would help in eating meat, didn’t appear until about half a million years later.
Scientists have also found marks on hominids’ teeth with patterns very similar to those on the teeth of modern-day fruit eaters. Sponheimer and Lee Thorp tried a new method, looking at the chemical composition of the tooth enamel. They studied the enamel for the carbon-13. Animals that eat grasses have higher carbon-13 levels than those eating fruits and other plants.
What they found was that the teeth of the hominids had an in-between amount of carbon-13, which meant not only they were eating fruits, but they were eating a lot of grasses, or animals eating grasses. The lower carbon-13 levels could also come from eating certain types of insects(昆蟲(chóng)).
But there are people who understand differently. Prof. Ungar of the University of Arkansas agrees the study offers new suggestions of hominids’ diet, but disagrees about the suggestion that meat could explain the lower carbon-13 levels.
One suggestion might be true though-take good care of your teeth. In 3 million years, a scientist might be using them to figure out what you eat for dinner.
1. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Protect Your Teeth. B. What the Hominid Ate.
C. Where the Hominid Lived. D. The Information of Tooth Enamel.
2. Before the two scientists’ findings, most people thought that hominids __________ .
A. lived half a million years ago B. ate mainly fruits and leaves
C. used tools to dig grass D. had sharp teeth
3. The two scientists’ findings were mainly based on the study about __________ .
A. the shape of hominid teeth B. the teeth marks of early fruit eaters
C. the grasses of 3 million years ago D. the make-up of the tooth enamel
4. What is it that Prof. Ungar finds doubtful?
A. Hominids possibly ate grass-eating animals.
B. Hominids probably had different
C. Hominids were basically fruit-and-grass eaters.
D. Hominids had lower level of carbon-13 in their teeth.

In July 1994 Jupiter, the largest planet in out solar system, was struck by 21 pieces of comet(彗星). When the fragments(碎片) landed in the southern part of the giant planet, the explosions were watched by scientists here on the earth. But what if our own planet was hit by comet?
The year is 2094. It has been announced that a comet is heading towards the earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two fragments will probably hit the southern part of the earth. The news has caused panic.
On 17 July, a fragment four kilometers wide enters the earth’s atmosphere with a huge explosion. About half of the fragment is destroyed. But the major part survives and hits the south Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. The sea boils and an enormous wave is created and spreads. The wall of water rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometers an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned. The wave moves into the Indian Ocean and heads towards Asia.
Millions of people are already dead in the southern part of the earth, but the north won’t escape for long. Tons of broken pieces are thrown into the atmosphere by the explosions, as the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, temperatures around the world fall to almost zero. Crops are ruined. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later civilization has collapsed. No more than 10 million people have survived.
Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the earth. The dinosaurs(恐龍)were on the earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe that the earth was hit by a space fragment. The dinosaurs couldn’t survive in the cold climate that followed and they became extinct. Will we meet the same end?
5.Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to author’s description of the disaster in 2094?
A. The whole world becomes extremely cold.
B. All the coastal cities in Africa are destroyed.
C. The whole mankind becomes extinct.
D. The visit of the comet results in wars.
6. Why does the author mention dinosaurs at the end of the passage?
A. Because they could only live n the warm climate.
B. Because they once dominated the earth.
C. Because their extinction indicates future disasters.
D. Because dinosaurs and humans never live in the same age.
7. In writing the passage, the author intends to _________.
A. give an accurate description of the possible disaster in the future.
B. prove tat humans will sooner or later be destroyed
C. tell the historical development of the earth
D. warn of a possible disaster in the future.
8. It can bge concluded that the passage is most probably part of a(n) _________.
A. horror story B. news report
C. research paper D. article of popular science

參考答案
I.課前準(zhǔn)備導(dǎo)讀
三、(一)1. She can speak many languages, such as English, French, Chinese and Japanese.
2. Does he run any slower than you?
3. We saw light in the distance.
4. How about going to France for our holidays?
5. I prefer going ballooning to doing anything else.
(二)1.C 點(diǎn)撥:文中所提及(when the explorers)discovered that the moon was full of underground cities。 故應(yīng)選C。
2.B 點(diǎn)撥:文中言及“月球人”問(wèn)地球人:你們?yōu)楹蔚酵鈱涌臻g旅行而不利用你們的內(nèi)層空間呢?同時(shí)文中又說(shuō)到:月球人所問(wèn)的問(wèn)題仍然是一個(gè)有趣的問(wèn)題。將文中的這兩處結(jié)合起來(lái)考慮,答案應(yīng)為B項(xiàng)。
3.B 點(diǎn)撥:文中所提及的已存在的地層內(nèi)部設(shè)施只是地道、停車(chē)場(chǎng)、商業(yè)區(qū),故應(yīng)選B。
4.D 點(diǎn)撥:先排除B、C兩項(xiàng),因?yàn)槲闹袕奈刺峒癏.G. Wells太空旅行一事,也從未提及人們樂(lè)意住在地下,故均應(yīng)排除。A項(xiàng)是迷惑度很大的干擾項(xiàng),因?yàn)橐苍S有許多人認(rèn)為地球上人類(lèi)由地面轉(zhuǎn)入地下是人類(lèi)未來(lái)的一種趨勢(shì),這就犯了以偏概全的邏輯思維錯(cuò)誤。文中所說(shuō)的只是支持人類(lèi)轉(zhuǎn)入地下這一觀點(diǎn)的論點(diǎn),是一家之言,并不一定能代表人類(lèi)未來(lái)的發(fā)展趨勢(shì)。所以,邏輯思維的全面性是至關(guān)重要的。故應(yīng)選D項(xiàng)。
Ⅲ.口語(yǔ)導(dǎo)讀
三、(一)1.B 點(diǎn)撥:根據(jù)題干。缺少“今后”之意。in future表“今后“之意,A表“在將來(lái)”之意,C是“在遙遠(yuǎn)的未來(lái)”之意,而D若是for the future則等于B。故選B項(xiàng)。
2.A 點(diǎn)撥:work with是“與某人一起工作”的意思。Work out意為“解決”或“算出”,work on是“從事”之意,work at是“致力于”之意。
3.C 點(diǎn)撥:指心臟的跳動(dòng)用beat。
4.C 點(diǎn)撥:根據(jù)語(yǔ)意“我不確定是否要下雨”,所以排除A,表達(dá)確定之意,應(yīng)是“ge sure”,排除D。第二個(gè)空“天要下雨,表示即將發(fā)生的事應(yīng)是“ge going to do”,排除B。所以應(yīng)選C。
5.A 點(diǎn)撥:Never是含有否定意義的副詞,置于句首時(shí),句子采用了部分倒裝。所以還原句子,則不難看出C、D缺少be動(dòng)詞。而believe應(yīng)構(gòu)成believe in doing sth結(jié)構(gòu),所以排除B。
6.C 點(diǎn)撥:本句語(yǔ)意是“人活著必須有信念”,用to do做后置定語(yǔ)修飾不定代詞something。同時(shí)believe表示“相信”之意,believe in表示“信仰”之意,所以選C。
7.B 點(diǎn)撥:本句的意思是“你想出的處理污水的辦法是可行的”!疤幚砦鬯庇枚陶Z(yǔ)“deal with”。而do為及物動(dòng)詞,其后應(yīng)有賓語(yǔ),排除C。同時(shí)這里that引導(dǎo)定從,指代先行詞the way作定語(yǔ)從句中thought of 的賓語(yǔ)。因此定語(yǔ)從句還原后應(yīng)是“you thought of a way to deal/of dealing with the polluted water”,所以選B。
8.D 點(diǎn)撥:“I believe so, I believe not, I don’t believe so”句型表示個(gè)人看法。
9.A 點(diǎn)撥:“I think so, I think not, I don’t think so”也表示個(gè)人看法。
10.D 點(diǎn)撥:need為實(shí)義動(dòng)詞時(shí),其后跟帶to的不定式。根據(jù)don’t need判斷B、C中的need應(yīng)為實(shí)義動(dòng)詞,所以其結(jié)構(gòu)不符合need為情態(tài)動(dòng)詞,此時(shí)need后應(yīng)跟動(dòng)詞原形,所以排除A。
(二)1~5 D G E C B
Ⅳ.閱讀指導(dǎo)
五、這是一篇介紹有關(guān)科學(xué)家通過(guò)研究300萬(wàn)年前古人類(lèi)牙齒結(jié)構(gòu)推測(cè)其所吃食物的科普類(lèi)短文。
1.B 點(diǎn)撥:這是一道對(duì)通篇文章主旨大意進(jìn)行推斷、歸納的題目。A、C兩項(xiàng)內(nèi)容文中均未提及,D項(xiàng)太片面,故應(yīng)排除。
2.B 點(diǎn)撥:文中第二段第一句提及:…two researchers argue against the widely held belief that hominids ate little more than fruits and leaves.故選B。A項(xiàng)內(nèi)容與文意不符,C項(xiàng)內(nèi)容未提及,D項(xiàng)是作為反證,說(shuō)明hominids當(dāng)時(shí)是不具備的。
3.D 點(diǎn)撥:根據(jù)文意,這兩位科研工作者的發(fā)現(xiàn)是根據(jù)hominids牙齒的形狀,尤其是厚厚的琺瑯質(zhì)結(jié)構(gòu)而推斷出的,故應(yīng)選D。
4.A 點(diǎn)撥;由五、六兩段推知。
這是一篇科普文章,假想2094年,由于彗星的碎片撞擊地球,將會(huì)給世人所帶來(lái)的災(zāi)難。人類(lèi)是否真的會(huì)像恐龍一樣在地球上消亡呢?
5.C 點(diǎn)撥:A項(xiàng)在第四段有交代;B項(xiàng)在第三段有描述,關(guān)鍵詞totally; D項(xiàng)在第四段有描述;惟獨(dú)C項(xiàng)未提及,故應(yīng)選C。
6.C 點(diǎn)撥:A項(xiàng)文章未交代;B項(xiàng)跟最后一段不符合;D項(xiàng)答非所問(wèn);C項(xiàng)中indicates意思是“暗示有……的可能性”,故選C。
7.D 點(diǎn)撥:A項(xiàng)不妥,因?yàn)槲闹袥](méi)有精確指述;B、C項(xiàng)不妥,因?yàn)槲恼轮皇强苹梦恼,并非事?shí)。D項(xiàng)意為警告人類(lèi),假如災(zāi)難真的發(fā)生了,我們?cè)撛趺崔k。故應(yīng)選D。
8.D 點(diǎn)撥:根據(jù)文章的大意,不難推出這屬于科普方面的文章。故應(yīng)選D。
Ⅴ.綜合技能導(dǎo)讀
三、(一)1.B surprising 意為“令人驚奇的”的,surprised意為“感到驚奇的”,根據(jù)語(yǔ)意排除C、D。從第二個(gè)空排除A,因?yàn)閔ome是副詞,“給家里寫(xiě)信”不加介詞to。故應(yīng)選B。
2.C 點(diǎn)撥:“dream of doing sth”是固定短語(yǔ),意為“夢(mèng)想做某事。
3.B 點(diǎn)撥:alive意為“活著的”,作后置定語(yǔ)。Living常作前置定語(yǔ)。Live作前置定語(yǔ),一般不指人。lively意為“生動(dòng),活潑,充滿(mǎn)朝氣的”。因此根據(jù)語(yǔ)意和結(jié)構(gòu)應(yīng)選B。
4.D 點(diǎn)撥:本句是強(qiáng)調(diào)句型,強(qiáng)調(diào)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)“in 2,000”。根據(jù)強(qiáng)調(diào)句型結(jié)構(gòu)應(yīng)選D。
5.A 點(diǎn)撥:本題中的experience應(yīng)譯作“經(jīng)歷”,此時(shí)它是可數(shù)名詞。經(jīng)歷應(yīng)是令人興奮的,故應(yīng)選A。
6.A 點(diǎn)撥:fix one’s attention on sth. 是固定短語(yǔ),意為“把注意力集中在某事上”此題用了它的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。其他選項(xiàng)都不符合結(jié)構(gòu)需要,應(yīng)排除。
7.B 點(diǎn)撥:make oneself done是“使某人自己被……”之意,這里過(guò)去分詞done用來(lái)作賓補(bǔ)。本句意思是“因?yàn)閷W(xué)生如此吵鬧,老師不能使自己被注意到”,所以選B。
8.C 點(diǎn)撥:succeed in doing sth. 結(jié)構(gòu)不符合本
