DDetermined(坚定的)答案：本文是一篇记叙文。每个人都有不同的能力，但是你擅长什么有时候你可能并不能觉察到。所以当你因为不擅长某项事情而苦恼时，不用担心，试试别的事情，或许真应了那句话“上帝在为你关闭一扇门的时候，也为你打开了一扇窗”。24解析：细节理解题。根据文章内容可知是她的哥哥帮她找到了她最擅长的东西，故选C。A是她的朋友；B是她的队友；D是她的教练，这三个选项都不符合题意。答案：C25解析：猜测词义题。根据上下文不难看出这个词是“名单”的意思。答案：C26解析：推理判断题。对比是为了说明篮球运动员的美丽，进一步突出Katya最擅长的是什么，故选A。答案：A27解析：推理判断题。读完短文我们不难发现为了目标Katya努力地奋斗着，所以说她是“坚定的”，故选D。A是懒惰的；B是有趣的；C是健壮的，这些内容都不适合形容她。答案：DCClothing is a language.It tells us about individual people：their personality, their age, their place in society and so on.If we want to know more about a society, we can look at traditional clothing.The continent of Africa has a long history and a rich culture, and this is shown in traditional dress.You often find three coloursred, gold and green in the clothing.The first colour stands for the blood of millions of people who suffered as slaves；the second is the rich resources of the African earth；and the third represents the grasslands of home.The patterns on the clothing also have a meaning.A common pattern is in the form of a cross“X”， which stands for “unity”Another pattern is a rectangular(长方形的)box, which represents “strength”Because clothing has a strong social meaning, people are very careful in choosing what to wear.It would be a serious mistake to wear the wrong clothing, or to wear clothes in the wrong way. For instance, in Ghana, a woman should wear her waistband(腰带) differently according to the importance of the social event.Traditional dress also tells us about everyday life.African designs are famous.Wide temperature range requires that the clothes be comfortable for daily life.Although many people wear western clothes particularly in big cities in Africa, traditional African dress is very highly valued.This is because it has deep cultural meanings.28The main theme of this passage is_.Athe history of clothes in AfricaBmodern fashion styles in AfricaCthe meanings of traditional dress in AfricaDthe materials used in traditional dress in Africa29According to the passage, red_.Arepresents the setting sunBstands for African unityCis chosen because it is a bright colourDis a reminder of

meanings答案：28解析：主旨大意题。文章主要叙述了非洲的传统服装以及它所体现的很深的文化内涵。故选C。答案：C29解析：细节理解题。红色代表昔日数百万苦难深重的奴隶们的鲜血。答案：D30解析：细节理解题。金色代表非洲富饶的资源。答案：C31解析：推理判断题。在非洲温差较大的气候条件下，人们的日常生活中需要宽松舒适的服装。答案：CDCould your best friend make you fat?Researchers who have studied“networks”of obesity(肥胖) think so：they found that if someones friend becomes obese, that persons chances of becoming obese increase by more than half.Brothers or sisters and a husband or a wife also have an influence, although reduced_people whose brothers or sisters became obese were 40 percent more likely to grow obese, while people whose husband or wife became obese were 37 percent more likely to.“This is the first study to show how obesity spreads through the social network from person to person，”James Fowler of the University of California, San Diego, who worked on the study, told in a telephone interviewing.The researchers said their findings show that obesity is contagiousnot like a virus which is contagious, but in a social sense.It may help explain why obesity is worsening across the United States, with twothirds of Americans overweight and almost a third technically obese.“It has become very popular to speak of the obesity epidemic.We began to wonder if it is truly an epidemic，”Dr.Nicholas Christakis, a professor of medical sociology at Harvard Medical School in Boston, told the briefing.“We think that these findings reinforce(加强) the idea that obesity is not just an individual problem but a collective problem，”Christakis said.“People look around them and see people gaining weight and it might change their attitude about what constitutes an acceptable body size，”he added.“You might say its OK to be heavier.”32The underlined phrase“reduced people”refers to_.Athe influence of people is smaller and smallerBfat persons are having less and less friendsCthe number of fat persons is decreasing largelyDpersons are becoming thinner and thinner33Whats the new finding of researchers in the passage?AObesity is popular with Americans.BObesity spreads from person to person.CObesity can be spread like a virus.DObesity is becoming an epidemic.34In what aspect do your fat friends have an impact on you?AThey may influence you how to choose a lover.BThey may assist you in forming a life value.CThey may change your attitudes towards obesity.DThey may help you understand what obesity is.35From the passage，we can infer that_.Aits better not to make friends with fat personsBobesity is a kind of disease that can spreadCmost Americans think obesity is a kind of beautyDit needs a collective effort to deal with obesity近朱者赤，近墨者黑，近肥胖者会发胖？如果你的朋友和家人发胖，你也很可能会发胖。在最近的一项研究中，研究者们有惊人的发现：肥胖会“社会传染”，它很容易从一个人传染给另一个人。32解析：细节理解题。从前面的have an influence知道，reduced people指的是影响性减少，因此A符合题意。答案：A33解析：细节判断题。从第四段的obesity spreads through the social network from person to person可知，研究的结果为B。答案：B34解析：细节判断题。结合最后一段的change their attitude about what constitutes an acceptable body size知道，答案为C。答案：C35解析：推理判断题。从倒数第二段作者认为肥胖不是一个人的问题，而是一个集体性的问题，可知答案为D。答案：D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选项。Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor.Whenever I speak to a Chinese student, they always say, “My spoken English is poor.”_36_I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary._37_ However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if you choose a positive attitude.Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know._38_Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous.Yet students should remember that their goal should be fluency not accuracy.Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules of grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly.However, in speaking your aim is fluency.You want to get your message across to talk to someone in English, as quickly and as well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesnt matter._39_The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening.You have one mouth but two ears！All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners.Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English, they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor._40_AThe person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.BThey may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time.CObviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary.DIf you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.EHowever, their spoken English does not have to remain“poor”！FSecond, they are afraid of making mistakes.GThe second reason lies in the reluctance of using what has just been learned.答案：3640ECFAD第三部分英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节：完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。A teenager has been named as a top winner in the Pramerica Spirit of Community
