The United Kingdom一、阅读理解。He had more than 160 reports as a reporter on the Metro desk and more than 170 in 19 months as a national journalist based in Kansas City，Mo.But perhaps the most important piece of writing that AG.Sulzberger did for The New York Times before Wednesdaywhen he was named deputy publisherwas not an article and was not published in The Times, but was all about The Times.That work came to be known as the “innovation(创新) report”，which zeroed in on the importance of a digital future for the newspaper his family has owned since 1896 and said The Times risked losing its leading place if it did not make sweeping changes.In a conversation in his office on Wednesday, Mr. Sulzberger said he saw the innovation report and the thinking that led to his conclusions as “a wakeup call to the newsroom that we were at risk of missing the moment”“It was always easy to see how changes will endanger the traditions of the place，” he said，“but what became really clear to me was not changing was the more dangerous course if we cared about the traditions of the place.”Unlike some of the former deputy publishers in his role, Mr.Sulzberger has been more experienced in the newsroom than in advertising or consumer marketing.Still，his colleagues described him as a quick study whose modesty masked deep inner confidence.Besides，in the newsroom or out on an assignment，Mr.Sulzberger did not show off his connection to The Times owners.“I recognized the name，”said Vincent Bova，a video editor who figured in a feature article that Mr. Sulzberger wrote in 2010.“I mean, I knew I was dealing with royalty.There was no reason for me to bring that up with him, and he didnt.”So Mr.Sulzberger，in some way，has qualified himself for the position since long time ago.【解题导语】本篇文章属于人物介绍类，介绍了著名出版人A.G.Sulzberger对纽约时报的重要贡献，还介绍了他提出的“创新报道”理论以及他人对他的评价。1A.G.Sulzberger wrote the “innovation report” mainly to Aurge revolutions in The TimesBgain the position of deputy publisherCpromote changes in New York City Dshow directions to his family future A解析：推理判断题。根据第二段可知，“创新报道”关注报纸数字化未来的重要性，纽约时报如果不改革，则将面临危机。据此可以判断，A.G.Sulzberger提及“创新报道”的目的是敦促纽约时报进行变革，故A项正确。2What is the biggest threat to traditional media according to Mr.Sulzberger?AScientific developments.BRapid social changes.CTheir own stubbornness.DDecreasing readers.C解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“and said The Times risked losing its leading place if it did not make sweeping changes”和文章中提到的“innovation(创新) report”可知，A.G.Sulzberger认为纽约时报如果不做出变革，则将面临危机；据此可以判断，A.G.Sulzberger认为传统媒体面临的最大的问题是它们固执己见，不思变革，故C项正确。3How does the author show us what Mr.Sulzberger is like in the last paragraph?ABy paring him with others.BBy interviewing him in person.CBy giving examples of his routines.DBy quoting ments from others.D解析：写作方法题。通读最后一段可知，该段第二句介绍了同事对A.G.Sulzberger的评价，第四句和第五句介绍了视频编辑Vincent Bova对他的评价；据此可以判断，最后一段是通过别人的评价来描述A.G.Sulzberger的，故D项正确。4What does the author think of Mr.Sulzberger according to the passage?ACasual.BObjective.CAdmirable.DCritical.C解析：观点态度题。通读全文可知，A.G.Sulzberger提出“创新报道”理论并前瞻性地认识到数字化时代对传统媒体的影响，意识到传统媒体变革的重要意义；据此可以判断，作者对A.G.Sulzberger的态度是钦佩的，故C项正确。二、单句语法填空1_(attract) by the movie starring Jet Li, I decided to see it again.答案：Attractedattract与其逻辑主语I之间为动宾关系，故应用过去分词attracted作状语。2Ill appreciate it if you can reply to my letter _your earliest convenience.答案：atat your earliest convenience 为固定短语，意为“尽快”。3We were _(delight) that we were successful in our experiment.答案：delighteddelighted “高兴的；快乐的”，常用于修饰人，表示人的心理活动。4It is necessary that the problem _(discuss) at once.答案：(should) be discussedIt is necessary that sth./sb.

go to such a bad lecture.答案：invited所填词为状语从句的省略形式，补充完整为：Even if (I am) invited to . 。7Mr Green is in charge of a large pany _(consist) of more than 2,000 workers.答案：consistingconsist of

flies！I went back to school and my lesson last month.It will be ten months before I attend the College Entrance Examination， makes me worried.I failed pass the English test last term because I had difficulty with it.I will never give up and determine to give myself second chance to pass .I will ask my teachers and friends for on how to improve it and work out a detailed plan.Besides，I will make use of time.Do you have any good ideas？Tell me I will be grateful to you.Im looking forward to from you.Yours，Li Hua第一处：begin改为began。考查动词时态。根据句中时间状语last month可知，此处描述的是发生在过去的事情，所以应用一般过去时。第二处：that改为which。考查定语从句。此处是非限制性定语从句，that不能引导非限制性定语从句，且从句中缺少主语，先行词为整个句子，所以关系词应该用which。第三处：fail后加to。考查固定搭配。fail to do sth.是固定用法，表示“未能做成某事”。第四处：删除because后的of。考查介词。because of后面跟名词、代词或动名词作宾语，文中其后跟的是从句，应用because来引导，故删除of。第五处：the改为a。考查冠词。该处表示“再给自己一次机会”，a second chance表示“再一次机会”。第六处：them改为it。考查代词。该处表示“通过英语考试”，应用it代指英语考试。第七处：advices改为advice。考查名词。advice是不可数名词，故把advices改为advice。第八处：fully改为full。考查形容词。该句中的名词use应用形容词修饰，所以把fully改为full。make full use of“充分利用”。第九处：or改为and。考查并列连词。此处表示“告诉我(你的建议)，我将不胜感激”。“祈使句and句子”，and表示顺承关系；“祈使句or句子”，or表示“否则”。第十处：hear改为hearing。考查动名词。look forward to短语中to是介词，后面跟名词、代词或动名词作宾语。
