四、阅读理解(共15小题，每题3分，共45分)
阅读下列短文，然后根据短文的内容从每小题的四个选项中选出的一项。
A
The sun's heat warms the air and makes it move. This movement is called wind. Different parts of the Earth receive different amounts of heat. Near the equator (赤道) , the sun is overhead and heats the Earth intensely (强烈). Nearer the poles, the sun's rays strike the Earth at a low angle so the heat is not so intense.
A lot of the earth's heat is reflected back into spaces, by the atmosphere, clouds, dust in the air and by water, snow and ice. So some parts of the Earth are warm and some are cold. Warm air tends to rise and creates areas of high pressure. As warm air rises, cold air flows in and replaces it. The greater the pressure difference is, the stronger the wind blows.
36. A strong wind is usually caused by a difference in__________.
A. heat
B. pressure
C. atmosphere
D. air
37. Some parts of the Earth are warm and some are cold because__________.
A. a lot of the heat is reflected
B. there are clouds and dust in the air
C. different parts of the Earth receive and reflect different amounts of heat
D. different parts of the Earth have different sources of heat
38. The best title of the article is__________.
A. The Sun's Heat
B. Pressure
C. Atmosphere
D. Why Do Winds Blow

Our eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body. There are times when most of us would rather eat sweets and ice-cream than meat and rice. Sweets and ice-cream are not bad if we eat them at the end of a meal. If we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite(食欲).
It is important for us to eat our meals at the same time each day. When we feel hungry, it is a sign that our body needs food. When we feel angry or excited, we may not want to eat. A long time ago, in England, some judges used to decide whether a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not eat the bread, it showed that he was telling lies. Although this seems very strange and rather foolish, it is indeed a very good way of finding out the fact. A man who is worrying about something has difficulty in eating anything dry. Because he is worrying, he loses his appetite and does not want to eat.
39. We must have good eating habits because__________.
A. we want to eat more
B. we want to enjoy our meals
C. we want to be healthy
D. we want to grow up quickly
40. It is good to eat sweets and ice-cream__________.
A. when we are hungry
B. when we want to
C. at the end of a meal
D. before the meal
41. We'd better have our meals__________.
A. at the same time each day
B. when our work is over
C. when the meal is still hot
D. when every one of the family is home
42. A man who is worrying__________.
A. has a better appetite
B. likes to tell lies
C. likes to eat ice-cream
D. has a poor appetite
C
There once was a village that had among its people a very wise old man. The villagers trusted this man to provide them with answers to their questions.
One day, a farmer from the village went to the wise man and said," My ox has died and I have no animal to help me plough my field! Isn't this the worst thing that could have possibly happened?" The wise old man replied, "Maybe so, maybe not. " The man thought the wise man had gone mad.
The very next day, however, a strong, young horse was seen near the man's farm. The man caught the horse. How happy the farmer was! He went back to the wise man to apologize. "You were right, wise man. Losing my ox wasn't the worst thing that could have happened. I never would have caught my new horse if that had not happened. This is the best thing that could have happened. " The wise man replied once again, "Maybe so, maybe not. " The farmer thought surely the wise man had gone mad now.
A few days later the farmer's son was thrown off the horse when riding it. He broke his leg and would not be able to help with the crop. Once again, the farmer went to the wise man, "You were right again. Catching my horse was not a good thing. My son is injured. This time I'm sure that this is the worst thing that could have possibly happened. " But, just as he had done before, the wise man replied once again, "Maybe so, maybe not. " The farmer stormed back to the village.
The next day soldiers arrived to take every able-bodied man to the war that had just broken out.
The farmer's son was the only young man in the village who didn't have to go. He would live, while the others would surely die.
Remember: maybe so, maybe not.
43. What happened to the wise man one day?
A. His ox had died.
B. He had no animal to help plough his field.
C. He had gone mad.
D. A farmer came to say the worse thing had happened.
44. What happened to the farmer the next day?

B. He caught a strong, young horse near his farm.
C. The best thing happened to him.
D. The worst thing happened to him.
45. What happened to the farmer's son a few days later?
A. He was thrown off the horse when riding it.
B. He broke his hand and was not be able to go to war.
C. He went to the wise man to tell him about it.
D. He stormed out of the wise man's house.
46. What is the story trying to teach us?

B. We can't know what's going to happen.
C. The worst thing may be the best thing.

We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. "Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen? When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?" When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it's too late.
Why do we often misunderstand others?? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don't really listen we miss the real meaning behind the words. Suppose someone tells you,"You're a lucky dog". That's being friendly. But "lucky dog" .? There is a bit of envy in those words.
What he may be saying is that he doesn't think you deserve your luck.
"Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for" is another sentence that says one thing and means another. Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn't important. It's telling you to think of all the hungry people in the world when you haven't got a date for Saturday night.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he say agree with the tone of voice?? His posture(姿势) ? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real
meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.
47. Most mistakes we make are about__________.
A. friend
B. job
C. money
D. people
48. Why do we make mistakes about people?
A. We are envious of their good luck.
B. We often feel bad about their words.
C. We think too much about our own problems.
D. We fail to listen carefully and miss the real meaning.
49. If someone says" You're a lucky dog" , he__________.
A. is possibly showing his envy
B. thinks you are an enemy
C. wants to become your friend
D. feels you are unlucky
50. Which of the following doesn't help show the real meaning of a person's words?
A. His posture.
B. His clothes.
C. His tone.
D. The look in his eyes.

二、词汇与语法知识
6.【答案】C
【解题指要】考查不定代词。如果你同时追赶两只兔子，结果会怎么样?A两只(都追上)，B(追上)任何一只，C两只都追赶不上，D(追上)任何一只。A语义不符，不选。B代指三者以上的情况，这里是“two hares”，故不选。C是对两种情况的全部否定，这里指同时追两只兔子，一只也追不上(比喻事情不能兼顾两头)。D语义不符，同时either多用于否定句。
7.【答案】A
【解题指要】考查副词比较级。该句要表达的意思是：你可以做得比那更好吗?我们的客户期望得到的。第一句有than一词，可断定需要填入比较级形式。第二句中，由句意可知，比较的是三者以上的事物，因此要用级，故选A。
8.【答案】B
【解题指要】考查主语从句中用作主语补足语的形容词的选用。该句要表达的意思是：在这样一个美好的早晨竟然有人不快乐，这似乎是不可能的。A重要的，B不可能的，C可能的，D常见的。A、C、D语义不符，故选B。
9.【答案】D
【解题指要】考查情态动词表推测的用法。该句要表达的意思是：她还没有来。她的表肯定不走了。我去叫醒她。A应该，B可能，C可能，D必须。B、C错，can/could表示推测“可能性”时，往往用于否定句或疑问句。D对，must表示推测“可能性”时，意思是“一定、准是”，语气较肯定，较有把握。A“should”也可表示推测，但语气上不如must肯定，本句中用must更合适。
10.【答案】C
【解题指要】考查时态。该句要表达的意思是：她说贝克先生不得不买一辆新车，因为他的车丢了，造成3000美元的损失。主句的谓语动词said为过去时，决定了从句也应为过去时态，而原因状语从句中谓语动词“丢失汽车”发生在“买车”动作之前，要用过去完成时态，因此只有C正确。
11.【答案】C
【解题指要】考查搭配。该句要表达的意思是：如果我们总是15角不断，能做好什么事?A谈话，B讨论，C争吵、吵架，D呼喊、喊叫。从搭配上讲，A、D不能与among搭配，B为及物动词，而本句空格后没有出现宾语，故不选。
12.【答案】B
【解题指要】考查表示条件意义的祈使句中连词的选用。该句要表达的意思是：从这离开主路，你就到湖边了。表示条件的祈使句+and+表示结果的句子，为固定句型，因此只能选B。
13.【答案】B
【解题指要】考查连接主语从句的关系词。该句要表达的意思是：他现在考虑的不是她的健康，而是安全。A错，that引导主语从句时不做成分，只起连接作用，而这里要填的词需要做think about的宾语。C、D语义不符，故选B。
14.【答案】D
【解题指要】考查动词短语。该句要表达的意思是：小男孩想举手问老师一个问题，但是他不敢。hang up意思是：挂起(某物)，wake up意思是：唤醒(某人)，lift up意思是：抬起(某物)，hold up意思是：举着、举起。从语义上讲，只有D符合。
15.【答案】D
【解题指要】考查as引导定语从句的用法。该句要表达的意思是：正如预料的一样(不出所料)，他成功地完成了任务。as引导定语从句时，可以放于句首、句中、句后，先行词可以是一个词，也可以是一个句子或短语，此句中as的先行词是后面的句子。当as从句位于句首或句中时，不能用which来替代。因此答案为D。
16.【答案】D
【解题指要】考查部分倒装结构以及让步状语从句。该句要表达的意思是：尽管我很佩服他这位作家，但是我不喜欢他这个人。A错，flS引导倒装句时的结构为：名词(形容词或副词)+as+主语+谓语。B、C错，how不能引导倒装句，因此只有D正确。
17.【答案】D
【解题指要】考查固定搭配。该句要表达的意思是：她花了一些时间，试着去发现他们接下来会做什么。A花费、耗费，B耗掉，C付款，D花费、耗费。A错在这个词的主语不可以是人。B错在时态不能用一般现在时态。C错，pay可以与money、attention等连接，但不能与time搭配。D对，spend time(in)doing sth为固定搭配，意思是：花费时间做某事。
18.【答案】C
【解题指要】考查省略句。该句要表达的意思是：他没有戒烟，尽管他知道他应该这么做。省略句的情况之一就是，动词不定式中动词省略而仅保留to，以避免重复，因此排除A、B。D语义不符，“尽管他知道他不必戒烟，他没有戒烟”说不通。
19.【答案】B
【解题指要】考查-ing分词与-ed分词用作主语补足语的区别。该句要表达的意思是：电影所描述的故事很激动人心，音乐也很悦耳。动词的-ed分词含有被动含义，主语通常为人;-ing分词含有主动含义，主语一般为物，表示“令人……”的意思。
20.【答案】C
【解题指要】考查put的动词短语。该句要表达的意思是：他们决定将会议推迟到圣诞节之后。A(用毕后)收起、储存，B放下、记下、镇压，C推迟，D建造、举起、供给……住宿。
