D1937.解析：推理判断题。根据第一段第一句中的“Reuel Tolkien(18921973)”以及第二段的第三句“Tolkien graduated from Oxford University when he was 23 years old，and participated in the First World War”可知，瑞尔托尔金生于1892年，他23岁时参加了第一次世界大战；据此可以判断，他是在1915年参加第一次世界大战的，故B项正确。答案：B2Which of the following statements is true?ATolkiens father died of “trench fever” .BTolkien wrote the New English Dictionary himself.CThe Lord of the Rings was finished about half a year.DTolkien began his writing career in the hospital.解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的最后一句“It was during the days in the hospital that he began his writing career first”可知，托尔金是在医院开始他的写作生涯的，故D项正确；根据第二段倒数第二句中的“During the war，Tolkien suffered fromtrench fever”可知，托尔金在战时患上了“战壕热”，而不是他的父亲，故A项错误；根据第三段的第二句“He was an editor of the New English Dictionary of 19181920”可知，他是新英语词典的编辑，并没有说是他一人完成了该词典的编纂，故B项错误；根据第四段的最后一句“The works of writing went on for almost a year with the support from his good friend Lewis”可知，The Lord of the Rings的成稿历时大约一年，故C项错误。答案：D3What is Tolkiens The Lord of the Rings considered to be?AThe first works of Tolkien.BAlways serious and dark.CBeneficial to the development of the fantasy novels.DThe most popular literary works in the 20th century.解析：细节理解题。根据文章的最后一句“Tolkiens influence is important，for the success of The Lord of the Rings makes the fantasy novels of this literature genre(体裁)develop rapidly”可知，The Lord of the Rings促进了魔幻小说的快速发展，故C项正确。答案：C4The word “evaluation” in the last paragraph is close to the meaning of “_” .Aopinion BvalueCinterest Dhobby解析：词义猜测词。根据本文倒数第二句中的“The Lord of the Rings was one of the most popular literary works in the 20th century in terms of sales and readers.”可知，The Lord of the Rings是20世纪最受欢迎的文学作品之一，这是读者和书商的评价；据此可以判断，画线词意为“评价”，故A项“观点，看法”正确。B项意为“价值”，C项意为“兴趣”，D项意为“业余爱好”，都与语境不符。答案：ABA bride caused a stir among shoppers at a supermarket in Torfaen when she went shopping in her wedding dress.Anna Savery enjoyed a meal with her husband James and guests at a Cwmbran restaurant after the ceremony but decided to carry on the celebrations at her mothers house.But first she stopped off at a nearby supermarket to pick up some essentials.She was greeted by a flood of good wishes from customers astonished to spot her in the vegetable aisle (侧廊)Mrs Savery，39，who married James Savery，26，at Pontypool Register Office on Saturday said: “It was a very impromptu (即兴的) idea.Thats when I decided to go to the supermarket，but it was shutting in 45 minutes so I didnt have time to go and change.But I have been in my pyjamas (睡衣)before，why not in my wedding dress？”Mrs Savery，who dashed around the supermarket to buy alcohol with her new motherinlaw and sisterinlaw，was overwhelmed by the reactions of staff and customers.“People were smiling and asking for photos.It was unimaginable；I just cant find exact words to describe my feelings，”she said.“I felt like a celebrity (名人)I had people saying I looked beautiful and one man said his daughter said I looked like a princess.”Among those to congratulate Mrs Savery was Cwmbran blogger Ben Black who captured her out shopping on video.Afterwards he wrote on his blog: “Im smiling and have goose bumps (鸡皮疙瘩) as I type this blog.”“To Anna and James: have a fantastic night and wonderful future together.You put a smile on a lot of peoples faces tonight，” he added.【语篇解读】一位新娘因时间仓促而身着婚纱去购物，这一举动却带来了出乎意料的反响。5How did the staff and customers feel when they saw Mrs Savery in her wedding dress?AThey felt amazed.

very impromptu idea.Thats when I decided to go to the supermarket，but it was shutting in 45 minutes so I didnt have time to go and change.”可知，她是临时起意想去超市，因为时间仓促所以没有换衣服。答案：C7The underlined word “overwhelmed” in the fourth paragraph means “_”Ato know too much information about something secret about sbBto have a strong emotional effect and dont know how to reactCto find a lot of strange people and cant get along well with themDto be aware of what others think of sb but can only keep silent解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“It was unimaginable；I just cant find exact words to describe my feelings”可知，她觉得这不可思议，一时找不到适合的话语来表达自己的心情。故可知画线词的意思是“受宠若惊”。答案：B8All of the following made Mrs Savery feel like a star EXCEPT that _Apeople were smiling and asking for photosBshe had people saying she looked beautifulCa girl said she looked like a princessDher new husband was a famous actor解析：细节理解题。根据第四段“People were smiling and asking for photos.It was unimaginable.I had people saying I looked beautiful and one man said his daughter said I looked like a princess.”可知，人们向她微笑，要求跟她合照，并夸奖她漂亮，这些都让她感到受宠若惊。但是没有提到她的丈夫是位著名的演员。答案：DCPhilips plete Road Atlas Britain and IrelandVoted Britains clearest

is a big problem in schools，especially in high schools._16_ Teens have figured that it is okay to cheat because everyone does it.Dishonesty has bee a big factor in todays society.Cheating affects everyone in some way.Cheating occurs every day in every school.Cheating occurs even in the nicest schools，including private schools.This usually occurs when someone does not study for a test or just does not feel like thinking._17_There is a wide range of cheating that can go on in schools.It can be as simple as copying one word，or copying the whole test.Whatever the extent of the cheating，that does not make it right.In todays society，teens just assume that cheating is an acceptable way of getting through test._18_Cheating affects me because when I study very hard for a test，someone else may do better than me because of their cheating.This may ruin the curve for the class._19_ With that，sometimes I feel taken advantage of when someone glances over at my paper.I dont always cover it up，but sometimes I do.This effects my motivation to learn because I figure that studying is not worth it anymore if everyone is cheating and I might as well not study as hard.This can be frustrating.Cheating widely affects others too._20_ It ruins the learning environment in the classroom.In conclusion，no matter what the motivation is，it is wrong to cheat.But today，so many do it that teachers have to watch even more carefully.What shall we do about it？We have to face the problem of cheating.If everyone would guard themselves against cheaters，they might give it up.AThey dont care even though they know the consequences.BIt seems as if teachers dont care，and you can get away with it.CCheating is a big problem and a headache for teachers to watch out for.DCheating only sends a negative message to everyone.EAlso，one might do it because he knows he can get away with it.FI used to get mad at cheaters for not playing fair，but I think it more fun to battle with them.GAnd that is not fair because I could have got a better score.【语篇解读】本文论述了作弊的影响。16解析：文中的“a big problem in schools，especially in high schools”与C项中的“a big problem”“a headache”相呼应。答案：C17解析：文中的“This usually occurs when someone does not
