1.  It is such an interesting book ________ we all like.
 A. that   B. which   C. as    D. what
【答案】C
【名师点睛】
as用作关系代词和关系副词引导限制性定语从句，并在从句中作主语、宾语、状语或表语，构成the same
as, such愠猀, so愠猀, as愠猀等结构，也就是说，先行词之前一旦出现same, such, so, as这些词时，而先行词的后面又跟着一个从句，这时就要考虑是不是要用as作为关系词来连接这个词和这个句子。
例如：
No period in history has had as many important changes as have taken place in the past century. (as 作主语)
It is so easy a book as every schoolboy can read. （as作宾语）
注意：（1）关系代词as在限制性定语从句时，在从句里做宾语时，绝不能省略。为什么我要让大家注意呢？
因为大家会联想到that和which引导定语从句，做从句里的宾语时可以省略。但是，大家要记住，我们今天讲的是as引导的定语从句，as在定语从句里做宾语时，是绝不能省略的。没有为什么，这就是语言的习惯。
Nowadays, women can receive the same pay as men can receive. 这句话里面，as就绝不能省略。 而这句话
（2）刚说过的这个例子大家可能已经注意到the same as 和the same that这两个结构了。当先行词被 the same 所修饰时，关系词既可以用 as，也可以用 that，那么这两者又有什么区别呢？在表示具体事物时，有时两者有一定的区别。一般说来，表示同一种类多用 as，表示同一事物多用 that，来看个例子：
    This is the same instrument as I used yesterday.   这台仪器跟我昨天用过的那台一样。    
但是表示抽象概念时，同种类和同一事物是没有绝对区别的，所以两个词可换用，请看例句    
I have the same opinion as / that you have.
2. as引导非限制性定语从句。as在定语从句中作主语、表语或宾语。as代指整个主句，而as引导的这个定
语从句是用来补充说明整个主句的，可以放在主句之前或者之后。 例如：
    As we all know, he studies very hard.（as代整个句子，作宾语）  
也可说 He studies very hard, as we all know.    
As is known to all, he is the best student in our class.（as代整个句子，作主语）  
也可说 He is the best student in our class, as is known to all.    
一些常见的句式有：as is said above, 正如/就像上面所说的， as is already mentioned above, 正如/就像刚才
已经提到的，as is known to all, 正如/就像大家都知道的，as is reported in the newspaper, 正如报纸上报道的那样。大家发现特点没有啊？as在句子里面的意思是“正如”“就像”

4.  Where was ________ the first meeting of the Chinese Communist Party was held?
 A. the place that    B. it  that   C. that    D. what
【答案】B
【解析】
试题分析：考查强调句型的特殊疑问句。强调句型的基本结构是：It is/was+被强调成分+that/who其他成分；本句对被强调成分进行提问，特殊疑问词放在句首，后面使用一般疑问句的形式。句意：中国共产党第一次代表大会究竟在哪里召开的？故B正确。
考点：考查强调句型
5. The manager was worried about the press conference his assistant ______ in his place but, luckily, everything was going on smoothly.
 A. was to give       B. would give  
 C. had given                    D. was giving

6.  If you ________ the medicine yesterday, you ________ well now.
 A. took, might be      B. had taken, might have been
 C. had taken, might be     D. took, might have been
【答案】C
【解析】
试题分析：考查虚拟语气。本句条件句中时间状语是yesterday，这是一个过去时间，所以从句中使用“过去完成时”表示与过去相反，主句的时间状语是now，说明主句与现在事实相反，所以主句使用“情态动词+动词原形”。句意：如果昨天你服药了，现在你就会很好。故C正确。
考点：考查虚拟语气
7. Hardly ________ when she ________ someone knocking at the door.
 A. did she sit, heard     B. did she sit, had heard
 C. had she sat, had heard    D. had she sat, heard
【答案】D
【解析】
试题分析：考查倒装句和时态。本句中放在句首的副词hardly，是一个表示否定含义的副词，放在句首谓语动词要使用部分倒装的形式。且hardly....when....意为“一...就...”，主句的动作发生在从句之前，时态要保持一致。句意：她一坐下来就听见有人敲门。故D正确。
【名师点睛】

C. have never, Have never                        D. never have, Never have
此题应选A。这里考查的是否定词置于句首，句子用部分倒装的问题。一般说来，以下否定词位于句首，句子要用倒装(部分倒装—-用一般问句的形式)：seldom, never, little, few, hardly, not, not until, in vain, in no way, by no means, on no account, no longer 等。如：
Never does he come late. 他从不迟到。

By no means shall I go there again. 我决不会再去那儿了。
Hardly had he arrived at the station when the train began to leave. 他一到车站，火车就开动了。

英语中的部分否定（即不完全否定）有如下一些表示方法：  
一、 all 的否定式：not all…（或：all…not）表示"并非都……"、"不是所有的都……"例如：  
 Not all men can be masters. (= All men cannot be masters.) 并非人人都能当头头。    
Not all bamboo grows tall. 并非所有的竹子都会长得很高。  
 二、 both 的否定式：not…both (或：both… not) "并非两个……都……" 例如：  
I don't want both the books. 我不是两本书都要。  
 Both (the) windows are not open. 两扇窗子并不都开着。  
三、 every…的否定式："不是每……都……" 例如：  
 Not every book is educative. (或：Every book is not educative.) 不是每本书都有教育意义的。  
 Not everyone likes this book. 并非人人都喜欢这本书。  
 This flower is not seen everywhere. 这花并不是随处可见的。  
四、 always的否定式："并非总是（并非一直）……" 例如：  
He is not always so sad. 他并不是一直都这样悲伤。  
五、 entirely, altogether, completely 和quite 的否定式，"不完全……"，"并非完全……" 例如：  
 The businessman is never to be entirely trusted. 不可以完全信任商人。    
He felt not altogether satisfied. 他并不完全满意。    
I don't agree completely. 我并不完全同意。  
 What he did was not quite proper. 他做的不十分妥当。

 七、 not…and…的否定式，被否定的往往是and后面的那一部分。
例如：     He did not speak clearly and correctly. 他讲得清楚但不正确?
 This film is not interesting and instructive. 这部电影有趣但无教育意义。    
She cannot sing and dance. 她会唱歌但不会跳舞。  
 如果将and 换成or，not 对其后面的两部分就全盘否定了。  
He did not speak clearly or correctly. 他讲的既不清楚也不正确。    
如要对上述的all, both, every, always, 以及
entirely, altogether, completely, quite 和 all the time 等词作完全否定，那就分别要用与之相对应的全否定词，如no, none, neither, no one, never, not (never)… at all 等。
All of them can do it.--- None of them can do it.    
Both are good.---Neither is good.    
Everybody likes it. ---Nobody likes it.    
He is always late. --- He is never late.  
 We don't trust them entirely. --- We never trust them at all.  
He was here all the time. --- He was never here.

三、 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节 （共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

（A）
An Open Letter to an Editor
I had an interesting conversation with a reporter recently — one who works for you. In fact, he’s one of your best reporters. He wants to leave.
Your reporter gave me a copy of his résumé (简历) and photocopies of six stories that he wrote for you. The headlines showed you played them proudly. With great enthusiasm, he talked about how he finds issues, approaches them, and writes about them, which tells me he is one of your best. I’m sure you would hate to lose him.
Surprisingly, your reporter is not unhappy. In fact, he told me he really likes his job. He has a great assignment, and said you run a great paper. It would be easy for you to keep him, he said. He knows that the paper values him. He appreciates the responsibility you’ve given him, takes ownership of his profession, and enjoys his freedom.
So why is he looking for a way out?
He talked to me because he wants his editors to demand so much more of him. He wants to be pushed, challenged, coached to new heights.
The reporter believes that good stories spring from good questions, but his editors usually ask how long the story will be, when it will be in, where it can play, and what the budget is.
He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas into great ones. He wants someone to get excited about what he’s doing and to help him turn his story idea upside down and inside out, exploring the best ways to report it. He wants to be more valuable for our paper. That’s what you want for him, too, isn’t it?
So your reporter has set me thinking.
Our best hope in keeping our best reporters, copy editors, photographers, artists — everyone — is to work harder to make sure they get the help they are demanding to reach their potential. If we can’t do it, they’ll find someone who can.
17. What does the writer think of the reporter?
  A. Optimistic.     B. Imaginative.
  C. Ambitious.     D. Proud.
18. What does the reporter want most from his editors in their talks?
A. Finding the news value of his stories.
B. Giving him financial support.
C. Helping him to find issues.
D. Improving his good ideas.
19.  Who probably wrote the letter?
A. An editor.                             B. An artist.
C. A reporter.                   D. A reader.
【答案】
17C
18D
19A
 19. A 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段Our best hope in keeping our best reporters, copy editors, photographers, artists — everyone — is to work harder to make sure they get the help they are demanding to reach their potential. If we can’t do it, they’ll find someone who can可知这里的we就是指作者.句意：我们最大的希望就是有最好的记者，最好的编辑等。说明作者就是报社的内部人士，排除BD项。作者是为一位记者提出要求的。说明作者应该是报社的管理人员，故A正确。
【名师点睛】
本文考查的三题都是推理判断题，我们可以使用正选法与排除法来解决此类问题。正选法与排除法：正选法即根据所读材料内容从正面选择最佳答案。如果在有些情况下从正面选择答案有困难，考生则可以考虑选用排除法，即排除四个选项中的三个错误选项，那么剩下的选项即为正确答案。排除法是解答阅读理解题的常用方法，对于那些不合情理或荒谬的选项、与短文内容相反的选项、与短文内容不相关的选项、虽在短文中出现但答非所问的选项，以及不是问题的主要因素的选项等，都可以采用排除法。考生可以遵循如下“三级思考”的方法排除干扰项：
(1) 如果干扰项明显与文章相矛盾，即为“误”，可以直接排除。
(2) 如果干扰项与文章内容不矛盾，但在原文中没有依据，这种脱离原文的“虚”的选项也可以排除。
(3)有些干扰项似乎很有道理，文中也能找到相关的依据，但它并不能完全满足题目的要求，未能以文章的主题、作者的思维模式为出发点，未能充分体现严谨性和最大的合理性，这种虽没错但不是最佳答案的“偏”选项也可以排除。只要考生经过“是否矛盾? (误否) ——是否有依据? (虚否?) ——是否以偏概全 (偏否?)”的逐级思考过程来分析和甄别每一个选项，那么解题的正确率就会得以提高。正确的答案应该是与原文意义一致的选项，或是经过“三级思考”仍不能排除的选项。

Everyone gathered around and Paddy read out loud, slowly, his tone growing sadder and sadder. The little headline said: BOXER RECEIVES LIFE SENTENCE.
Frank Cleary, aged 26, professional boxer, was today found guilty of the murder of Albert Cumming, aged 32, laborer, last July. The jury (陪审团) reached its decision after only ten minutes, recommending the most severe punishment the court could give out. It was, said the judge, a simple case. Cumming and Cleary had quarreled violently at the Harbour Hotel on July 23rd and the police saw Cleary kicking at the head of the unconscious Cumming. When arrested Cleary was drunk but clear-thinking…
Cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour. Asked if he had anything to say, Cleary answered, “Just don’t tell my mother.”
“It happened over three years ago,” Paddy said helplessly. No one answered him or moved, for no one knew what to do. “Just don’t tell my mother,” said Fee numbly. “And no one did! Oh, God! My poor, poor Frank!”
Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said. “Fee dear, pack your things. We’ll go to see him.”
   She half-rose before sinking back, her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead. “I can’t go,” she said without a hint of pain, yet making everyone feel that the pain was there. “It would kill him to see me. I know him so well— his pride, his ambition. Let him bear the shame alone, it’s what he wants. We’ve got to help him keep his secret. What good will it do him to see us? ”
   Paddy was still weeping, but not for Frank, for the life which had gone from Fee’s face, for the dying in her eyes. Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune, always stood between Fee and himself. He was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children.
   Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee, Frank took it away. But Paddy’s love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank.
So he said, “Well, Fee, we won’t go. But we must make sure he is taken care of. How about if I write to Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank?”
The eyes didn’t liven, but a faint pink stole into her cheeks. “Yes, Paddy, do that. Only make sure he knows not to tell Frank we found out. Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don’t know.”
20. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Frank was found guilty of murder because he was a professional boxer.
B. The family didn’t find out what happened to Frank until three years later.
C. The jury and the judge disagreed on whether Frank had committed murder.
D. Frank didn’t want his family to find out what happened because Paddy disliked him.
21. Paddy didn’t cry for Frank because he thought ________.
A. Frank did kill someone and deserved the punishment
B. Frank should have told Fee what had happened
C. what had happened to Frank was killing Fee
D. Frank had always been a man of bad moral character
22. Which of the following suggests that Fee was deeply shocked by what happened to Frank?
A. “Her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead.”
B. “Let him bear the shame alone, it’s what he wants.”
C. “Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee, Frank took it away.”
D. “The eyes didn’t liven, but a faint pink stole into her cheeks.”
23. “She half-rose before sinking back …” (in Paragraph 6) shows that ________.
A. Fee was so heart-broken that she could hardly stand up
B. Fee didn’t want to upset Paddy by visiting Frank
C. Fee couldn’t leave her family to go to see Frank
D. Fee struggled between wanting to see Frank and respecting his wish

（C）
Human remains of ancient settlements will be reburied and lost to science under a law that threatens researches into the history of humans in Britain, a group of leading archaeologists (考古学家) says. In a letter addressed to the justice secretary, Ken Clarke, 40 archaeologists write of their “deep and widespread concern” about the issue. It centers on the law introduced by the Ministry of Justice in 2008 which requires all human remains unearthed in England and Wales to be reburied within two years, regardless of their age. The decision means scientists have too little time to study bones and other human remains of national and cultural significance.
   “Your current requirement that all archaeologically unearthed human remains should be reburied, whether after a standard period of two years or further special extension, is contrary to basic principles of archaeological and scientific research and of museum practice,” they write.
   The law applies to any pieces of bone uncovered at around 400 dig sites, including the remains of 60 or so bodies found at Stonehenge in 2008 that date back to 3,000 BC. Archaeologists have been granted a temporary extension to give them more time, but eventually the bones will have to be returned to the ground.
   The arrangements may result in the waste of future discoveries at sites such as Happisburgh in Norfolk, where digging is continuing after the discovery of stone tools made by early humans 950,000 years ago. If human remains were found at Happisburgh, they would be the oldest in northern Europe and the first indication of what this species was. Under the current practice of the law those remains would have to be reburied and effectively destroyed.
   Before 2008, guidelines allowed for the proper preservation and study of bones of sufficient age and historical interest, while the Burial Act 1857 applied to more recent remains. The Ministry of Justice assured archaeologists two years ago that the law was temporary, but has so far failed to revise it.
   Mike Parker Pearson, an archaeologist at Sheffield University, said, “Archaeologists have been extremely patient because we were led to believe the ministry was sorting out this problem, but we feel that we cannot wait any longer.”
   The ministry has no guidelines on where or how remains should be reburied, or on what records should be kept.
24. According to the passage, scientists are unhappy with the law mainly because ________.
  A. it is only a temporary measure on the human remains
  B. it is unreasonable and thus destructive to scientific research
  C. it was introduced by the government without their knowledge
  D. it is vague about where and how to rebury human remains
25. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
  A. Temporary extension of two years will guarantee scientists enough time.
  B. Human remains of the oldest species were dug out at Happisburgh.
  C. Human remains will have to be reburied despite the extension of time.
  D. Scientists have been warned that the law can hardly be changed.
26. What can be inferred about the British law governing human remains?
  A. The Ministry of Justice did not intend to protect human remains.
  B. The Burial Act 1857 only applied to remains uncovered before 1857.
  C. The law on human remains hasn’t changed in recent decades.
  D. The Ministry of Justice has not done enough about the law.
27. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
  A. New discoveries should be reburied, the government demands.
  B. Research time should be extended, scientists require.
  C. Law on human remains needs thorough discussion, authorities say.
  D. Law could bury ancient secrets for ever, archaeologists warn.

 25. C 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句Human remains of ancient settlements will be reburied and lost to science under a law that threatens researches into the history of humans in Britain, a group of leading archaeologists (考古学家) says.可知根据英国的一项新的法律无论是什么时候的人类遗址都要被重新埋起来。故C项正确。
26. D 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段最后一句The Ministry of Justice assured archaeologists two years ago that the law was temporary, but has so far failed to revise it.可知the Ministry of Justice并没有做好自己的工作，没有能够让政府重新修订这部法律。故D项正确。
27. D 标题概括题。本文属于议论文，介绍了英国政府要推行的新的法律，为了保护人类遗址，要求英国的所有人类遗址都要被重新掩埋。而考古学家对此有不同的观点。故D项 正确。
【名师点睛】
本文属于标题概括题。标题判定或选择题也是一种主旨题，与主旨题的解题主法和技巧完全一样。二者的差别主要体现于选项的形式：主旨题的答案通常以一句话表示，而问标题的答案大多为一个名词词组。此外，标题必须反映文章的中心大意，而且只能反映文章的中心大意。这就要求选项的归纳范围要恰如其分，既不能只提及文中的一个细节，也不能将本文以外的内容概括于其中。
1.局部信息，即选项的内容小于文章的内容。考生认为此选项有含中心句的成分，就认为可以作为中心句，就犯了以点概面、以偏概全的错误。
2.范围过宽，即选项的内容大于文章的内容。考生认为中心句的内容全涵盖在此选项里，就认为此选项正确，就犯了外延大而内涵小的错误。
3.过于笼统。即选项中归纳的主题太泛，与细节脱节或是没有对细节加以充分论证。这样的选项貌似与主题句接近，实则经不起推敲，不应该扰乱考生的判断。

（D）
The health-care economy is filled with unusual and even unique economic relationships. One of the least understood involves the peculiar roles of producer or “provider” and purchaser or “consumer” in the typical doctor-patient relationship. In most sectors of the economy, it is the seller who attempts to attract a potential buyer with various appealing factors of price, quality, and use, and it is the buyer who makes the decision. Such condition, however, is not common in most of the health-care industry.
In the health-care industry, the doctor-patient relationship is the mirror image of the ordinary relationship between producer and consumer. Once an individual has chosen to see a physician — and even then there may be no real choice — it is the physician who usually makes all significant purchasing decisions: whether the patient should return “next Wednesday”, whether X-rays are needed, whether drugs should be prescribed, etc. It is rare that a patient will challenge such professional decisions or raise in advance questions about price, especially when the disease is regarded as serious.
This is particularly significant in relation to hospital care. The physician must certify the need for hospitalization, determine what procedures will be performed, and announce when the patient may be discharged. The patient may be consulted about some of the decisions, but in general it is the doctor’s judgments that are final. Little wonder then that in the eye of the hospital it is the physician who is the real “consumer”. As a consequence, the medical staff represents the “power center” in hospital policy and decision-making, not the administration.
Although usually there are in this situation four identifiable participants— the physician, the hospital, the patient, and the payer (generally an insurance carrier or government)— the physician makes the essential decisions for all of them. The hospital becomes an extension of the physician; the payer generally meets most of the bills generated by the physician/hospital, and for the most part the patient plays a passive role. We estimate that about 75-80 percent of health-care choices are determined by physicians, not patients. For this reason, the economy directed at patients or the general is relatively ineffective.
28. The author’s primary purpose in writing this passage is to ________.
  A. urge hospitals to reclaim their decision-making authority
  B. inform potential patients of their health-care rights
  C. criticize doctors for exercising too much control over patients
  D. analyze some important economic factors in health-care
29. It can be inferred that doctors are able to determine hospital policies because  ________.
  A. most of patient’s bills are paid by his health insurance
  B. it is doctors who generate income for the hospital
  C. some patients might refuse to take their physician’s advice
  D. a doctor is ultimately responsible for a patient’s health
30. According to the author, when a doctor tells a patient to “return next Wednesday”,  the doctor is in fact ________.
  A. advising the patient to seek a second opinion
  B. warning the patient that a hospital stay might be necessary
  C. instructing the patient to buy more medical services
  D. admitting that the first visit was ineffective
31. The author is most probably leading up to ________.
  A. a proposal to control medical costs
  B. a study of lawsuits against doctors for malpractice
  C. an analysis of the cause of inflation (通货膨胀) in the US
  D. a discussion of a new medical treatment
【答案】
28D
29B
30C
31A
【解析】
 30. C 推理判断题。根据第二段第二句it is the physician who usually makes all significant purchasing decisions: whether the patient should return “next Wednesday”, whether X-rays are needed, whether drugs should be prescribed, etc.可知当医生让病人下周三再来的时候，实际上是由医生指导病人接受治疗的服务。故C项正确。
31. A 推理判断题。根据文章最后一句For this reason, the economy directed at patients or the general is relatively ineffective.作者认为目前的医疗体系是无效的，作者以此建议对现行的医疗体系进行改革，改变目前由医生决定治疗过程的医疗程序。以此控制医疗费用。故A正确。

第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余项。（说明：E请填涂AB；F填涂CD；G填涂ABC）
Any car accident is frightening, but an accident in which your vehicle is thrown into the water, with you trapped inside, is absolutely terrifying.    32        
However, most deaths result from panic, without a plan or understanding what is happening to the car in the water. By adopting a brace position (防冲击姿势), acting decisively and getting out fast, you can save yourself from a sinking vehicle.
Brace yourself for impact. As soon as you’re aware that you’re going off the road and into a body of water, adopt a brace position. The impact could set off the airbag system in your vehicle, so you should place both hands on the steering wheel in the “ten and two” position.
Undo your seatbelt.    33    Unbuckle the children, starting with the oldest first. Forget the cellphone call. Your car isn’t going to wait for you to make the call.
  34    Leave the door alone at this stage and concentrate on the window. A car’s electrical system should work for up to three minutes in water, so try the method of opening it electronically first. Many people don’t think about the window as an escape option either because of panic or misinformation about doors and sinking.
Break the window. If you aren’t able to open the window, or it only opens halfway, you’ll need to break it with an object or your foot. It may feel counter-intuitive (有悖常理的) to let water into the car.    35  
Escape when the car has equalized. If it has reached the dramatic stage where the car cabin has been filled with water and it has become balanced, you must move quickly and effectively to ensure your survival.    36  
While there is still air in the car, take slow, deep breaths and focus on what you’re doing.
A. Open the window as soon as you hit the water.
B. Surviving a sinking car is not as difficult as you think.
C. It takes 60 to 120 seconds for a car to fill up with water usually.
D. Such accidents are particularly dangerous due to the risk of drowning.
E. In conclusion, if you know what to do in the water, you’ll be safe.
F. This is the first thing to attend to, yet it often gets forgotten in the panic.
G. But the sooner the window is open, the sooner you can escape directly through it.

在完成七选五阅读的时候，我们一定要注意横线前后句之间的串联以及句意的上下承接关系。
1．先看选项，通过选项中句子的句意或者句子后面的标点符号来判断该句在文章中的可能位置。
2．再看空前空后，由于句子与句子之间有一种相关的联系，所以我们可以在选项中寻找与空前空后的句子有某种必然联系的关键词，从而选择正确的答案。
3．注意代词在句子中的使用，利用代词的指代作用，我们可以从选项中找到相关的信息。
4．注意一些特殊疑问词，如果选项中或空前出现特殊疑问词，那么就要寻找相对应的回答语。
做题时需要注意的两个问题：
1．如果问题设在段首，通常是段落的主题句。寻找主题句时，着重阅读后文第一两句，锁定线索信号词，然后在选项中查找相关特征词，最后看所选的答案是否将两段内容连贯起来。
2.如果问题设在段尾，通常是结论或概括性的语句，关键词要在空白前的一句或两句中寻找。 注意在选项中查找表示结果、结论、总结等的信号词，如therefore，as a result，thus，hence，in short，to sum up，to conclude，in a word等词语。

四、完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）
There is a workman in America who earns as much as a company director. He is Max Quarterman, a thirty-year-old plasterer (泥瓦匠).
    Max lives in an upper middle-class housing estate. His    37    are mostly bank managers, business executives, airline pilots and the    38   , but Max’s seven-bedroom house —   39    $ 80,000 — is the largest in the area.    40    outside the house are Max’s $ 7000 sports car and his wife’s Morris Mini. Indoors is a 150 colour TV set and the family’s    41    — a circular bath with gold-plated taps. There are also many labour－saving   42    and luxury furniture.
How can a plasterer    43    all this? The answer, says Max, is hard work. In    44    with another plasterer, Max    45    contract plastering jobs for a firm. The owner of the firm    46    them as human machines, the best and quickest in the    47   , who can do as much in two days as     48    two-man team can in two weeks.
   How do they manage it? Not by working overtime. They work a(n)     _  49    eight-hour day, five days a week. The secret    50    in Max’s hod (桶) in which he carries the plaster to the site of the job. Max’s is a superhod — it contains double the usual    51    of plaster, and Max, a strong fellow, runs when he carries it. More time is thus    52    to get on with the plastering. Besides,   53   man wastes time smoking, and they    _  54     their lunch break to a    55    of an hour a day. Now Max earns over $ 800 a week which is four times the average weekly pay in Britain today, and if he gets as    56    as $ 15, it’s a disaster.
37. A. colleagues   B. neighbours          C. relatives  D. friends
38. A. like                       B. kind                     C. class  D. same

 40. C 考查上下文串联。动词stop停止；park停车，泊车；根据本句后半句的sports car 和Morris Mini可知指汽车停在了房子外面。故C项正确。
41. D 考查名词辨析。名词property财产，财富；honor荣誉；facility设备；pride自豪的事情；a circular bath with gold-plated taps是他们加最值得自豪的东西。当然这属于他家的财产，但是不是所有的财产都是值得自豪的事情。故D正确。
42. B 考查名词辨析。名词object物品；device设备；article物品，生活用具；material材料；上文前几句中提到的都是家庭中的一些设备，如汽车、水龙头等。故B正确。
43. C 考查动词辨析。动词acquire获得；得到；use使用；afford承担得起；provide提供；一个泥瓦匠怎么可能承担得起所有这些昂贵的设备呢？本句是作者提出的疑问。故C项正确。
44. C 考查介词短语辨析。短语in harmony with与...和谐；in correspondence with与...一致；in partnership with和...合伙；in terms of就...而言；他能够承担得起如此好的生活条件依靠的是努力工作，和另外一个泥瓦匠合伙他们的确是在一个公司里做泥瓦匠的工作。故C项正确。
45. B 考查动词辨析。动词make生产，制作；do做；take花费，带走；get得到；本句指这两位泥瓦匠做的是自己的本职工作而已。ACD三项内容与上下文不一致。动词do和contract plastering jobs构成动宾短语。故B正确。
46. D 考查动词辨析。动词tell告诉；treat对待，治疗；compare比较；describe描述；动词短语describe sb as....把...描述成....；公司的老板把这两个人描述为工作机器，也是各种最好和最快的生意伙伴。故D正确。
47. A 考查名词辨析。名词trade生意，贸易；job工作；area地区；walk阶层；公司老板人们他们是最好的贸易伙伴，因为他们之间有工作的合作合同。所以称他们为贸易伙伴。故A正确。
48. C 考查词义辨析。AB两项不是否定含义，all的语气不如any强烈。本句中any表示语义的强调，意为“任何”；句意：他们在两天内做的事情和其他的双人组合在两周内做的一样多。本句说明他们的工作效率很高，所以才会挣得如此多的钱。故C正确。
 53. C 考查上下文串联。根据44空In    44    with another plasterer可知他和另外一位泥瓦匠合作，一共是两个人，他们都不浪费时间在抽烟上，而把所有的时间都用在了工作上。所以使用neither两者都不...。故C正确。
54. B 考查动词辨析。动词have拥有；cut削减；miss错过；spend度过；他们不仅没有在抽烟上浪费时间，而且还把午饭及休息的时间削减到总共一个小时，把更多的时间用在了工作上。那么一天的工作效率就会更高了。故B正确。
55. D 考查固定搭配。短语a total of共计....；本句仍然在叙述他们把更多的工作时间用在了工作上，把午间休息的时间削减到一个小时。故D正确。
56. B 考查形容词辨析。形容词much很多；little很少；more更多；less更少。本句并没有涉及到两者的比较，所以排除CD项。如果他挣得钱少到15英镑，那么就是灾难。根据句意可知使用否定含义。故B项正确。
【名师点睛】
在危险填空中，我们可以根据上下文的逻辑关系答题。如根据横线前句Max lives in an upper middle-class housing estate.他住在一个上流社会的高级小区，那么本句谈论的是他的邻居的情况。故B。
逻辑关系语指表示各种逻辑意义的连句手段，主要有：
（1）词（包括连词、副词和少数介词），如and, but, or, because, though, however, yet, therefore, otherwise, despite等；
（2）短语，如in other words, or rather, in addition, as a result, so that, on the contrary, instead of等；
（3）分句和独立结构，如that is to say, what is more, all things considered等。逻辑关系语对准确理解语篇意义能够起到很强的提示作用。完形填空中很多题目都围绕它们而设。考生在解题时要充分利用这些逻辑关系语，找到与文中某些词、短语有密切关系的选项，如其同义词、近义词或反义词等，有时这些词、短语甚至复现在文中。
 【例】 The girl became increasingly worried about this, both when__46__and in her dreams.
 46. A. asleep   B. away        C. around   D. awake
 【析】本句的逻辑关系语是both ... and ...，它表示并列关系。and后出现了in her dreams，故此空必定和其有关。选项中只有awake和in her dreams构成反义关系，因此D项正确。
 【例】 Before leaving, I had turned the heater__48__in the roadhouse, so that when we went in, it was nice and__49__.
 48.   A. on     B. off          C. in     D. over  
49. A. neat   B. hot        C. warm   D. attractive
 【析】本句的逻辑关系语是so that和and。连词and表并列关系，但要注意，nice and后接形容词或副词，大多意为“很”，如：The room is nice and warm. （这个房间很暖和。） / The breeze is nice and cool. （这阵微笑很凉爽。） / The car is going nice and far. （这辆轿车跑得很快。）发热器只能使房间变暖或变热，因此49 选C；so that表因果关系，根据句意“为了我们进来时室内很温暖”，只有turn on the heater才合乎逻辑，因此48选A。

In fact, family members provide the most care    4    elderly people need. Samuel Prestoon, a sociologist, has studied    5    the American family is changing. He has reported that by the time the average American couple reach 40 years of age, they have more parents than children. Moreover, because people today live longer after an illness than before, family members must provide long-term care. More    6    (psychology) have found that all caregivers believe that they are the best people for the job. Social workers interviewed caregivers to find out why they took    7    the responsibility of caring for    8    elderly relative. Many caregivers thought they had obligation    9    (help) their relatives, stating that helping others make them feel more useful. Most hoped that by helping someone, they would deserve care when they became old and dependent.

七、短文改错（共10小题, 每小题1分，满分10分）
假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。
增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（∧），并在其下面写出该加的词。
删除：把多余的词用斜线（\）划掉。
修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。
注意：1. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；
    2. 只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分。

As is known, that it is interesting to teach child to swim while they are still babies. Most large towns in Florida and California had already run particularly lessons for babies. The idea has quickly spread to Europe which, in several countries, special courses are now offered children who are from 7 to 24 months old. The first step is to have the child get rid of the fear with water. Next, he is teaching to float in water. Unless he can do that naturally and can swim without fear, the child can master the technique and push him forward through water.
【答案】
1. 第一句：that去掉；
2. child改为children
3. 第二句：had改为have；
4. particularly改为particular
5. 第三句：which改为where；
6. offered和children之间加to
7. 第四句：the child的the改为a
8. 第五句：teaching改为taught
9. 第六句：Unless改为Once / If / When；
10. him改为himself
 4. particularly改为particular  考查形容词。本句中名词lessons前面的前面应该使用形容词做定语，因为副词通常在句中做状语，不能修饰名词。使用本句使用形容词particular修饰lessons。
5. 第三句：which改为where；考查定语从句。本题定语从句的先行词是Europe，后面的定语从句结构很完整，所以使用关系副词where引导定语从句，并在句中做地点状语。
6. offered和children之间加to  考查动词搭配。动词短语offer sb sth/offer sth to sb提供某人某事；本句是被动语态，所以要在children的前面加to。
7. 第四句：the child的the改为a  考查冠词。不定冠词a/an通常表示泛指，而定冠词the通常表示特指。句意：第一步要让孩子消除对水的恐惧感。本句中a child表示泛指孩子。
8. 第五句：teaching改为taught 考查语态。本句中动词teach与主语he构成被动关系，要使用被动语态，所以使用过去分词taught。
9. 第六句：Unless改为Once / If / When；考查连词。根据上下文可知本句表示条件或时间。句意：如果他能够很自然地这样做或没有任何恐惧地游泳/当他他能够很自然地这样做或没有任何恐惧地游泳，孩子就可以掌握技巧。
10. him改为himself 考查反身代词。本句中使用反身代词himself做为动词push的宾语，表示强调。

Recently, I’ve been so busy with the first important exam of the new term that I failed to reply to your letter in time. As a Senior 3 student, I had to devote most of my time to reviewing my lessons during the winter holiday. However, I still managed to spare some time to pay a visit to my relatives and friends. I also read some novels to refresh myself.
In the new term, I will work hard and try to make greater progress, hoping to be admitted to my ideal/dream university and live up to my parents’ expectations.
