阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从36—55题所给的四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案。
When do you become an adult, a grown-up? At eighteen? Twenty-one? Thirty? Adulthood may seem a long way away to you, but the fact is that you are in the function(３){return NumArr[３]}function(６){return NumArr[６]} of becoming an adult right now. The changes are so function(３){return NumArr[３]}function(７){return NumArr[７]} that you may not notice them, but you can be sure that they’re happening.
When you were a child, a parent or an older relative probably function(３){return NumArr[３]}function(８){return NumArr[８]} your clothes and helped you clean up your room. Now you are function(３){return NumArr[３]}function(９){return NumArr[９]} to have a clothes allowance, to care for your bedroom, and to function(４){return NumArr[４]}function(０){return NumArr[０]} other housework. You may once have had function(４){return NumArr[４]}function(１){return NumArr[１]} getting your homework finished on time. By now, you may have learned to function(４){return NumArr[４]}function(２){return NumArr[２]} yourself (为自己定下速度). You know how much time you need. Do you remember function(４){return NumArr[４]}function(３){return NumArr[３]} your parents to stop for ice cream, or take an after-school job when you want money for a new clock radio? Of course, you don’t function(４){return NumArr[４]}function(４){return NumArr[４]} budget（预算、安排） your time and your money function(４){return NumArr[４]}function(５){return NumArr[５]} . Your room doesn’t always pass function(４){return NumArr[４]}function(６){return NumArr[６]} . And you are often less than even tempered（使缓和） when something function(４){return NumArr[４]}function(７){return NumArr[７]} happens. But you’re function(４){return NumArr[４]}function(８){return NumArr[８]} .
As you get older, you have more privileges（特权）and more function(４){return NumArr[４]}function(９){return NumArr[９]} . You may baby-sit for younger brothers and sisters, help cook dinner, and do odd（临时的、额外的）jobs to function(５){return NumArr[５]}function(０){return NumArr[０]} to the family income. You may get to function(５){return NumArr[５]}function(１){return NumArr[１]} to watch a late movie on television, join in adult conversations, take subways and buses alone, or go on camping trips with your friends. function(５){return NumArr[５]}function(２){return NumArr[２]} you will have a job and an apartment of your own.
You’ll become a voter and perhaps a husband or wife, maybe even a parent. But doing things function(５){return NumArr[５]}function(３){return NumArr[３]} do does not necessarily mean you will be wiser, braver, or more self-assured. It takes time to gain knowledge and build function(５){return NumArr[５]}function(４){return NumArr[４]} . Adults need to test themselves in the world, just as you do as a teenａger. Being an adult is a function(５){return NumArr[５]}function(５){return NumArr[５]} process of growth.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳答案。
A
I find it good to be alone the GREater part of the time, to be in company, even with the best, is soon boring, and I never found a companion so companionable as solitude（孤单、独居）.
We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad than we stay in our bedrooms, for solitude is not measured by the space that comes between a man and his fellows.
The farmer, who can work alone all day without feeling lonesome, but must recreate with others at night, wonders how the student can sit alone at night; he does not realize the student, though in the house, is actually at work in his field and cutting his wood as the farmer is in his.
Society is commonly too cheap: we meet at very short intervals, not having had time to acquire any new value for each other; we meet at meals three times a ｄay and try to give each other a new taste of that musty (发霉的) old cheese as we are; we live thick and are in each other’s way, and I think that we thus lose some respect for one another.
We have now aGREed on a certain set of rules, called manners and politeness, to make this frequent meeting tolerable; certainly less frequency would suffice (充足，足够 ) for all important and hearty communications between men.
It would be better if there were but one inhabitant to a square mile, as where I live, for as the value of a man is not his skin, we need not touch him.
56. The writer of the passage considers "solitude" ．
A. boring
B. lonely
C. sound
D. understandable
57. We know from the examples of the farmer and student that ．
A. solitude is a necessary condition of work
B. man needs recreation after work
C. work satisfies man’s need for solitude
D. people are not lonely when they are working
58. Living thick, the writer thinks, people will____．
A. acquire respect for society
B. go around with others without respect
C. find new value in themselves
D. increase the value of their friendship
59. It can be inferred that the value of a man can be ．
A. found in external appearance
B. discovered through skin contact
C. felt through frequent meeting
D. discovered without physical contact
B
People have been painting pictures for at least 30,000 years. The earliest pictures were painted by people who hunted animals. They used to paint pictures of the animals they wanted to catch and kill. Pictures of this kind have been found on the walls of caves in France and Spain. No one knows why they were painted there. Perhaps the painters thought that their pictures would help them to catch these animals. Or perhaps human beings have always wanted to tell stories according to pictures.
About 5,000 years ago the Egyptians and other people in the Near East began to use pictures as a kind of writing. They drew simple pictures or signs to represent things and ideas, and also to represent the sounds of their language. The signs these people used became a kind of alphabet(字母表).
The Egyptians used to record information and to tell stories by putting picture-writing and pictures together~ When an important person died, scenes and stories from his life were painted and carved on the walls of the place where he was buried. Some of these pictures are like modern comic-strip stories. It has been said that Egypt is the home of the comic－strip. But, for the Egyptians, pictures still had magic power.
So they did not try to make their way of writing simple. The ordinary people could not understand it.
By the year 1,000 BC, people who lived in the area around the Mediterranean Sea had developed a simpler system of writing. The signs they used were very easy to write, and there were fewer of them than in the Egyptian system. This was because each sign, or letter, represented only one sound in their language. The GREeks developed this system and formed the letters of the Greek alphabet. The Romans copied the idea, and the Roman alphabet is now used all over the world.
These days we can write down a story, or record information, without using pictures. But we still need pictures of all kinds: drawings, photographs, signs and diagrams. We find them everywhere: in books and newspapers, in the streets, and on the walls of the places where we live and work. Pictures help us to understand and remember things more easily, and they can make a story much more interesting.
60. Pictures of animals were painted on the walls of caves in France and Spain because ．
A. the hunters wanted to see the pictures
B. the painters were animal lovers
C. the painters wanted to show imagination
D. the pictures were thought to be helpful
61. The GREek alphabet was simpler than the Egyptian system for all the following reasons EXCEPT that ．
A. the former was easy to write
B. there were fewer signs in the former
C. the former was easy to pronounce
D. each sign stood for only one sound
62. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. The Egyptian signs later became a particular alphabet．
B. The Egyptians liked to write comic-strip stories.
C. The Roman alphabet was developed from the Egyptian one.
D. The GREeks copied their writing system from the Egyptians.
63. In the last paragraph, the author thinks that pictures ．
A. should be made comprehensible
B. should be made interesting
C. are of much use in our life
D. are disappearing from our life

Some years ago industries had more freedom than they have now, and they did not need to be as careful as they must be today. They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed. They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them: often conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers.
Of course sometimes there were real disasters which showed the need for change. Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information which governments should pay attention to. At such ｔime, there were inquiries（调查） into the cause of the disasters or the problems. New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries; however, the new rules came too late to protect the people who had died or who had become seriously ill.
Today many governments have special departments， which protect customers and workers. In the US, for example, there is a department， which tests new planes and gives warnings about possible problem. It also makes the rules that plane producers must follow. Another department controls the foods that companies sell. A third department looks at the places where people work, and then reports any companies that are breaking laws which protect the health and safety workers. Of course, new government departments and new laws cannot prevent every disaster or illness, but they are having some good results. Our work places are safer and cleaner than before. The planes and cars which we use for travel are better. Producers are thinking more about the safety and health of the people who buy and use their products
68. It can be concluded from the passage that in the past ．
A. companies were free to put out any products they wanted to
B. workers often got ill because of the poor working conditions
C. many people were killed by the dangerous products
D. industries were not as careful in management as they are today
69. It suggests in the passage that ．
A. governments and companies had different thoughts about the safety of products
B. governments paid little attention to the safety of products
C. government officials often did not listen to scientists
D. in the past no safety laws were introduced by governments
70. Some years ago safety rules ．
A. came into being as a result of the workers’ demand
B. were effective enough to protect workers and customers
C. were put forward because of scientists’ advice
D. were introduced because quite a number of people were killed
71. The special departments protect customers and workers in many ways except by ．
A. designing new products
B. controlling the sale of products
C. asking questions
D. testing new products

All the wisdom of the ages, all the stories that have delighted mankind for centuries, are easily and cheaply available to all of us within the covers of books, but we must know how to avail(利用) ourselves of this treasure and how to get the most from it. The most unfortunate people in the world are those who have never discovered how satisfying it is to read good books.
I am most interested in people, in finding out about them. Some of the most remarkable people I’ve met existed only in a writer’s imagination, then on the pages of his books, and then, again, in my imagination. I’ve found in books new friends, new society, and new words.
Reading is the pleasure of the mind, which means that it is a little like a sport: your eagerness and knowledge and quickness make you a good reader. Reading is fun, not because the writer is telling you something, but because it makes your mind work. Your own imagination works along with the author’s or even goes beyond his. Your experience, compared with his, brings you to the same or different conclusions, and your ideas develop as you understand his.
Every book stands by itself, like a one-family house, but books in a library are like houses in a city. Although they are separate, together they all add up to something. They are connected with each other and with other cities. The same ideas, or related ones, turn up in different places; the human problems that repeat themselves in life repeat themselves in literature, but with different solutions according to different writings at different times. Books influence each other; they link the past, the present and future and have their own generations, like families. Wherever you start reading, you connect yourself with one of the families of ideas, and in the long run, you not only find out about the world and the people in it; you find out about yourself, too.
Reading can only be fun if you expect it to be. If you concentrate (集中) on books somebody tells you " you ought" to read, you probably won’t have fun. But if you put down a book you don’t like and try another till you find one that means something to you, and then relax with it, you will almost certainly have a good time -- and if you become, as a result of reading, better, wiser, kinder, or more gentle, you won’t have suffered during the process.
72. What has the author benefited from the book?
A. He has found new friends, new society and new words.
B. He has found his own imagination, experience and conclusions.
C. He has found the past, the present and future.
D. He has found a result of reading.
73. Why does the writer think reading is fun?
A. Because reading can make us a good reader.
B. Because ｒending makes our minds work.
C. Because reading can save our time.
D. Because reading values ourselves better and wiser.
74. The underlined phrase "turn up" in Paragraph 4 means_________.
A. have GREat pleasure
B. find
C. face another way
D. appear
75. What would be the best title for the text?
A. The Pleasure of Reading
B. The Ways of Reading
C. The Imagination of Reading
D. The Better Result of Reading

答案与解析
单项填空
21. A “按……折扣”应表达为at a discount of…。
22. B 句意：我们老师聪明、勤奋，但不擅长于把自己的观点向我们讲清楚。get across在此意为“使某人理解（接受）”。get over 克服、恢复、解决；get on登上（车、船等）；get into进入，不符句意。
23. D 句意：警方呼吁公众提供任何可能有助于侦察工作的信息。appeal to呼吁；urge作“催促”讲，常构成：urge sb. to do sth.。
24. B “很难猜出她的反应”。
25. D 句意：失业的威胁虽然令人很烦恼，但也能逼迫人开动脑筋。concentrate the / one’s mind使人急切地、认真地考虑某事情。keep保持；impress给某人深刻印象；confirm证实、确认，均不符句意。
26. D 根据句意可知，选项部分意为“我感到她太了解我了”，故应选be familiar with sb.“某人与某人熟悉”。be similar to sb. “与……相似”，be popular with sb.“为某人喜欢、欢迎”，be known to sb.“为某人所知”均不符句意。
27. A 题干中第一句为说话人的邀请，第三句为说话人对对方的应答表示感谢，可知答话人在应答时对说话人的邀请首先要表示感谢，然后应根据第三句中I’m glad you like it（it指代房子）进行赞美。选项B、C意思偏离；选项 D与下文句子意思不符。只有选项 A符合英国人说话的特点：初到某地，先对其赞美一番。
28. D 该题考查冠词的用法。第一空为泛指“一个历史性的领袖人物”，应用不定冠词a；第二空名词courage为抽象名词，不可数，前面常不用冠词。
29. A 根据句子结构及句意可知，句中的第一个动作应为表示在过去某一时刻瞬间发生，故应选一般过去时，burst into“闯入”；第二空的动作在后发生，并无表示在“过去的过去”发生之意，故也应用一般过去时，inspect“检查”。
30. C 分析句子结构可知，选项部分用作后置定语，与前面被修饰的名词为被动关系，故应选择动词的过去分词，由于句中时间状语at the end of last month表示在过去某一时刻发生，因此，选择过去分词的一般式。
31. A run out 为不及物动词短语，不可用于被动语态，其主语为某物；run out of为及物动词短语，主语为某人。故选is running out进行时的主动形式，表示将来意义“我的钱快用完了”。
32. D 解答该题动词时态的关键是句中时间状语when we found表示在过去某一时刻。第一空表示在时间状语从句之后发生，故用一般过去时；第二空表示用做found的宾语从句，含有将要发生的意义，故应选用过去将来时。
33. C consequences“后果”，常用指“随……而产生的后果”；ending（戏剧、小说等的）结尾，结局；result“结果”，指某种原因所产生的最终结果；outcome“结果、结局”，有“见分晓”的意思。
34. C promote在此意为“提升、晋职”。lift举起；rise升起；increase增加。
35. B set down在此意为“写下、记下”。set about (doing sth. )着手干某事；set up 建立、创立；set out动身，开始干。
完形填空
36. A 从下文，特别是文章最后一句可知，对一个人来说，成年时代似乎是一个漫长的过程，但事实上，我们就在成为成年人的进程之中。
37. Ａ根据该句后的结果状语从句…that you may not notice them, but you can be sure that they’re happening.“……你可能注意不了它们，但能肯定在发生”。可知，这些变化是“渐进的、有顺序变化的”。
38. C
39. B
40. D该句与下一句形成对比：你小时候，大人给你买衣服，帮你收拾房间，而现在很可能（此处无肯定意义）自己买衣服、收拾房间、甚至还分担一些家务活。
41. A have trouble (in) doing sth.“做某事有麻烦（困难）”，此处表示过去，与现在形成对比。
42.B从下句You know how much time you need.可知，现在知道为自己定速度，pace在此意为“定速度”。
43. C 小时候乞求父母在路上停下来买东西。
44. D
45. B你不能总是把你的时间或钱都安排的很完美。
46. A你自己收拾的房间不能每次总通过父母的检查。
47. A当遇到令心理不安的事情时，你不一定就能平静地对待。
48. C但这一切都表现出你在学习之中。
49. B从下文所做的事可知，一个人长大了有更多的责任感。
50. C contribute to…“出一份力；贡献出”。
51. C从后面to watch a late movie可知，只有stay up含有“不睡觉、熬夜”之意。
52. A 通过以上经历，最后，你将有一份工作，一套自己的住房。
53. B该句意为：你长大成人了，你做的是成年人事，但这并不意味着你就更明智、更勇敢、更有主见。
54. D 获得知识、建立自信是要花时间的。
55. C成为一个成年人是一个连续不断的成长过程。文章首尾呼应。long不符文意。
阅读理解
56. C 从第一段and I never found a companion so companionable as solitude可知文章对solitude(独处)持肯定的态度，sound表示”正确的、健康的”，从第二段可知。
57. D农民白天一个人耕地，学生晚上一个人学习，都不孤单，是因为他们都在工作。
58. B从第四段可知。
59. D最后一段通过身体的接触，是不会了解一个人的价值的。
60. D细节理解题。从Perhaps the painters thought that their pictures would help them to catch these animals可知。
61. C事实细节题。由文中分析我们知道，希腊的文字更容易读，因此答案为C。
62. A事实推理题。
63. C细节题。从短文的最后一句我们可以得出此答案。
64. B 第二条广告The Lookout，which is high atop Harbor Center Tower，is your best first choice in Vancouver告诉我们在Harbor Centre Tower顶端可鸟瞰温哥华全景。
65. D本题考查利用短信息进行综合判断的能力。第三条广告Burnaby Village Museum and Carousel圣诞节不营业，因此只能是第一条广告符合本题两个条件8：30 am to 10：30 pm和Christmas Day。
66. C 第一条广告中walk west along Georgia for 15minutes towards Stanley Park from downtown；第三条广告中Follow the signs along the sidewalk to Deer Lake Park．20 minutes from downtown Vancouver。本题考查对短文细节的把握能力。第一条广告提到从市中心步行的时间是15分钟，而第三条广告提到步行的时间是20分钟。
67. D本题考查主旨推断能力。综合三则广告所提内容，可知都是游玩、观光方面的内容。
68. B 由文章第一段信息可以排除A、Ｃ、D选项，而最后一句就是选B项的依据。
69. B 文章第二段说明正是由于科学家们的调查才促使一些新的安全措施得以引入；文章未提政府和公司间的分歧。故A错误。
70. D从文章第二段信息可知安全措施并非由工人或科学家建议提出。也没有有效保护工人及顾客，而是因disaster及对其调查的促使。
71. A从文中第三段可知，特别调查未涉及产品设计。
72. A第二段的最后一句I’ve found in books new friends, new society, and new words.在书中已找到新朋友、新社会和新词汇。所以选A。
73. B 由第三段Reading is fun, not because the writer is telling you something, but because it makes your mind work.可知道。
74. D 此句中出现多个different, 既是“ 不同”，才会 “出现”在不同的场合。Appear=turn up,所以符合题意。
75. A 通读全文，根据关键性句子如Reading is the pleasure of the mind…Reading is fun等。
短文改错
function(７){return NumArr[７]}function(６){return NumArr[６]}. 在cars 后面加上that/which引导定语从句。 function(７){return NumArr[７]}function(７){return NumArr[７]}. 在place前面加上 the，构成take the place of短语，意为“代替”。
function(７){return NumArr[７]}function(８){return NumArr[８]}. 将fewer改为less，pollution是抽象名词，用little 修饰，此句用其比较级。
function(７){return NumArr[７]}function(９){return NumArr[９]}. 此行正确。
function(８){return NumArr[８]}function(０){return NumArr[０]}. 将street改为复数形式streets，文中泛指街道，并非特指某一条街。
function(８){return NumArr[８]}function(１){return NumArr[１]}. 去掉be，fit作动词用。
function(８){return NumArr[８]}function(２){return NumArr[２]}. usually改为usual，修饰名词size，应用形容词。
8function(３){return NumArr[３]}. Drive改为Driving，动名词作主语。
function(８){return NumArr[８]}function(４){return NumArr[４]}. though改为because。此处强调原因。
function(８){return NumArr[８]}function(５){return NumArr[５]}. it改为they，指代上文提到的such little cars。
书面表达
One possible version:
Dear sir,
I’m Zhang Hua, Chairman of the Students Union of Jinling Middle School.
According to the aGREement, we plan to send 30 students and teachers to have a study tour in London this summer. Now I’d like to tell you something about our group and something we’d like you to arrange for us.
Our group is made up of two women teachers and 28 students, of whom 18 are boy students. It’s better for us to live in host families so that we can have opportunities to practise our oral English. As for the activities, it is suggested that we have English classes in the morning, do some sightseeing or take part in some sports in the afternoon. In the evening we want to be free. On Sundays and Saturdays， we’d like to visit some scenic spots in the country.
I wonder if you can send us your formal invitation as soon as possible so that we can go through all the procedures.
Best wishes!
Yours sincerely,
Zhang Hua
