They buy vast numbers of newspapers and magazines and even of booksespecially paperbacks, which are still comparatively cheap in spite of ever-increasing rises in the costs of printing. They still continue to buy proper books, too, printed on good paper and bound between hard covers.There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in book-selling. Perhaps the best known of these is Charing Cross Road in the very heart of London. Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the celebrated one which boasts of being the biggest bookshop in the world to the tiny, dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens time. Some of these shops stock, or will obtain, any kind of book, but many of them specialize in second-hand books, in art books, in foreign books, in books on philosophy(哲学), politics or any other of the myriad subjects about which books may be written. One shop in this area specializes solely in books about ballet.Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books, Charing Cross Road is not the cheapest. For the really cheap second-hand volumes, the collector must venture(冒险) off the beaten path, to Farringdon Road, for example, in the East Central district of London. Here there is nothing so grand as bookshops. Instead, the booksellers come along each morning and tip out their sacks of books on to small barrows(手推车) which line the gutters(贫民区). And the collectors, some professional and some amateur(业余爱好者)have been waiting for them. In places like this one can still, occasionally, pick up for a few pence an old volume that may be worth many pounds.4. According to the passage, we can infer that _.A. Londoners like borrowing books from librariesB. Londoners like buying books, magazines and newspapersC. Londoners like reading books in librariesD. Londoners dont like buying proper books.5. Charing Cross Road which is well-known for _ lies in the _ of London.A. bookstores, East Central districtB. publishing houses, downtownC. Bookshops, centerD. libraries, countryside6. The underlined word “solely” in the second paragraph means_.A whollyB. partlyC. jointlyD. seldom7. The third paragraph mainly tells us _in London.A. where to buy the dear new booksB. where to buy the cheap new booksC. where to buy the cheap second-hand booksD. where to buy the dear second-hand books【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. C【解析】伦敦人喜欢读书,喜欢买大量的报纸、杂志,书籍。文章介绍了伦敦2个买书的好去处。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段Londoners are great readers. They buy vast numbers of newspapers and magazines and even of booksespecially paperbacks,可知伦敦人是伟大的读者,他们购买大量的报纸、杂志,书籍。他们喜欢买书,故选B。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in book-selling. Perhaps the best known of these is Charing Cross Road in the very heart of London.可知Charing Cross Road是位于伦敦市中心以书店出名的街道,故选C。【6题详解】猜测词义题。此处指这个地区有一家书店专门卖关于芭蕾舞的书。指全部都是关于芭蕾舞的书,solely “单独地,唯一地”,在此指全部地,与wholly意思一致,故选A。【7题详解】主旨大意题。根据第三段For the really cheap second-hand volumes, the collector must venture(冒险) off the beaten path, to Farringdon Road, for example, in the East Central district of London.及下文具体买书经过可知本段主要是讲述在哪能买到便宜的二手书,故选C。CWhen students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance, the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as main entertainment, but certainly not an education priority (优先). This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students.Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as a Schubert song. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society.Music provides a kind of perception (感知) that cannot be acquired any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotional meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our hungers, our discoveries, and our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love. So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.8. According to Paragraph 1, students _.A. regard music as a way of entertainmentB. disagree with their parents on educationC. view music as an overlooked subjectD. prefer the arts to science9. In Paragraph 2, the author used jazz as an example to _.A. compare it with rock musicB. show music reflects a societyC. introduce American musical traditionD. prove music influences peoples lifestyles10. According to the passage, the arts and science _.A. approach the world from different anglesB. explore different phenomena of the worldC. express peoples feeling in different waysD. explain what it means to be human differently11. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Music education is more necessary.B. Music should be of top education priority.C. Music is an effective communication tool.D. Music education makes students more imaginative.【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. A【解析】本文是一篇议论文。作者论述了艺术教育,尤其是音乐教育的重要性,作者认为艺术尤其是音乐是人类表达情感的重要方式 ,人们应该对音乐加强认识。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as main entertainment, but certainly not an education priority (优先).(人们似乎会说,音乐是美好的,但并不重要。它常常被视为主要的娱乐项目,但肯定不是教育的首要任务)”可知,学生们把音乐当作一种娱乐方式。故选A。【9题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society. (乔治格什温和其他音乐家引入到他们音乐中的爵士乐显然是美国的,因为它来自美国的音乐传统。音乐表达了我们的性格和价值观。它给了我们作为社会的身份)”可知,在第二段中,作者以爵士乐为例来说明音乐能够反映一个社会。故选B。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotional meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.(科学可以解释太阳是如何升起和落下的。艺术探索同一现象的情感意义。我们需要各种可能的方式去发现和回应我们的世界,因为一个简单但强大的理由:没有一种方式可以得到一切)”可知,根据这篇文章,艺术和科学从不同的角度看待世界。故选A。【11题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句“In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students.(事实上,音乐教育对所有学生都是有益的和重要的)”及最后一段“Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love. So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.(音乐是我们表达人类痛苦、庆祝、和平与爱的意义和价值的重要方式。所以音乐教育比人们似乎意识到的要多得多)”可知,本文阐述了音乐的内涵、音乐的功能和音乐的重要性,所以音乐课是需要我们特别重视的,是必要的。选A。D Albert Einstein has a great effect on science and history. An American university president once said that Einstein had made a new outlooka new view of the universe. It may be sometime before the average mind understands fully the identity of time and space and so on, but even ordinary men now understand that the universe is something larger than ever thought before.By 1914 young Einstein had been worldfamous. He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited chances for study, but soon his peace and quiet life were broken by World War I.Einstein hated fighting and killing. The great suffering of the war affected him deeply, and he sat unhappily in his office doing little. He lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work. In the years following World War I, honours were increasingly put on him. He became head of the Kaiser Whihem Institute of Theoretical Physics. But he himself refused the effort to put him in a position far above other people. He was well known for his humble manners. He often said that his success would certainly have been achieved by others if he had never lived. In 1921 he won the Nobel Prize, and he was honoured in Germany until the rise of Nazism when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew.12. The main idea of the first paragraph is_.A. the difficulty of Einsteins thought to othersB. the feeling of an American university president towards EinsteinC. the difference between science and historyD. the change in human thought produced by Einstein13. From the second paragraph, we know Albert Einstein_.A. enjoyed world popularityB. became head of a schoolC. was popular with his studentsD. enjoyed studying wars14. Which of the following statements about Einstein is TRUE?A. He achieved more than other scientists in history.B. Our ideas about the universe differ from one another because of him.C. He kept working until peace came in 1918.D. His research practically stopped during World War I.15. In the years following World War I, _.A. Einsteins theory was soon accepted even by ordinary peopleB. more and more honours went to EinsteinC. Einstein almost had no chances for his researchD. Einstein was not honoured in Germany until the rise of Nazism【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. B【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了著名科学家阿尔伯特爱因斯坦给人类思想带来的影响,以及他的个人经历。【12题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段“Albert Einstein has a great effect on science and history. An American university president once said that Einstein had made a new outlooka new view of the universe. It may be sometime before the average mind understands fully the identity of time and space and so on, but even ordinary men now understand that the universe is something larger than ever thought before.”可知爱因斯坦对科学和历史都有很大的影响。一位美国大学校长曾经说过,爱因斯坦创造了一种新的宇宙观。也许要过一段时间,普通人才能完全理解时间和空间等的特性,但即使如此,普通人现在也明白宇宙比以前想象的要大。由此可知,第一段的主要思想是爱因斯坦给人类思想带来的变化。故选D。【13题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中“By 1914 young Einstein had been worldfamous.”可知到1914年,年轻的爱因斯坦已经举世闻名。由此可知,阿尔伯特爱因斯坦享有世界声望。故选A。【14题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中“Einstein hated fighting and killing. The great suffering of the war affected him deeply, and he sat unhappily in his office doing little. He lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work.”可知爱因斯坦讨厌战斗和杀戮。战争带来的巨大痛苦使他深受影响,他很不高兴地坐在办公室里无所作为。他对他的研究失去了兴趣。直到1918年和平来临,他才重新开始工作。由此可知,关于爱因斯坦的陈述中D选项“他的研究在第一次世界大战期间几乎停止了”正确。故选D。【15题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段中“In the years following World War I, honours were increasingly put on him.”可知在第一次世界大战之后的几年里,他受到的荣誉越来越多。由此可知,在第一次世界大战后的几年里,爱因斯坦获得了越来越多的荣誉。故选B。第二节 阅读填空(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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选项。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选项。Changing Peoples Bad Impression On UsSome of us have made bad first impressions in front of people we wanted to become good friends with.First impressions are important because they form the foundation on which all future thoughts about someone will be based._16_However,there are actions you can take to change peoples bad impression of you.Apologize immediately.A sincere apology can go a long way because you will prove to everyone that you value their thoughts about you.Tell the people that you didnt intend to offend(冒犯)them and that you wish to correct the situation.Explain the reasons why you acted the way you did in your apology._17_Otherwise,it will make others feel uncomfortable that you keep bringing up the past.Use humor.When you are around the people you made a bad impression in front of,play a small joke on yourself.Once they know you are not afraid to laugh at yourself,it can break up some of the tension.Remember to only direct humor at yourself._18_Do not make assumptions.After you have made a bad impression,it can be easy to assume that everyone thinks the worst of you._19_Instead of assuming what someone thinks about you,explain to her that you feel ashamed about how you acted and ask him how your behavior affected him._20_In order to overcome a bad first impression,your words and actions in the time to come must be consistently good.With enough time and patience,gaining trust and changing wrong beliefs is possible.A.

B【解析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了如何改变别人对你的坏印象的方法。【16题详解】空前说第一印象是重要的,因为它们构成了未来所有关于某人的想法的基础,此处总结上文,说的是很难改变给别人留下的第一印象,故选F(所以,很难从一个人的脑海中抹去一个糟糕的第一印象)。【17题详解】空后说否则,你老是提起过去,会让别人觉得不舒服,因此处会提到要避免一种错误的做法,空后就是继续错下去的后果,故选A(小心不要做的过火)。【18题详解】空前说记住只对你自己开玩笑,此处解释为什么要这样做,故选E(这样你就可以避免任何不舒服的感觉)。【19题详解】空前说在你给别人留下不好的印象之后,很容易就会认为每个人都认为你最不好,空后又说不要假设别人对你的看法,向她解释你对自己的行为感到羞愧并且问问他你的行为如何影响了他,这说明此处与上文形成转折,说的是并不是像你想的那样每个人都觉得你不好,故选D(然而,事情并不像看上去那么糟糕)。【20题详解】空处为本段主题句,根据上文各段主题句的句式特点可知此处用祈使句,空后说为了克服不好的第一印象,你今后的言语和行动必须始终如一,这说明本段讲的是关于言谈举止的,故选B(要注意以后的言谈举止)。第三部分 语言知识及应用(共两节,满分30分)第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从3655各题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Three Apple engineers and three Microsoft employees are traveling by train to a conference.
