【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了玩具的发展过程及发展特点。

1

考查固定句型和时态。句意:似乎从来没有过一个没有玩具的文明,但是玩具是什么时候和怎样发展起来的是不为人知的。本句是there be句型,句中又涉及句型seem to do sth.似乎是,仿佛,所以应用动词不定式形式,再根据句意可以推断出,应该是从过去到现在为止似乎从来没有过一个没有玩具的文明,所以时态应为现在完成时。故填to have been

2

考查固定短语。句意:在古代世界,和今天一样,大多数男孩玩一些种类的玩具,大多数女孩玩另一些。根据句中some kinds of toys中的some可以推断出,男孩们玩一些种类的玩具,与之相对应的,女孩们玩另一些,some…others一些……另一些。故填others

3

考查固定句型和时态。句意:甚至在游戏中,女孩们也在为步入成年人的世界和责任做准备。首先,本句涉及句型sb. be prepared to do sth.某人为做某事做准备,其次,根据句意,女孩们在玩游戏的同时,准备的动作正在发生,前调动作正在同时进行,应用现在进行时。故填are being prepared

4

考查主语从句连接词。句意:关于玩具的历史显著的不是几个世纪以来它们改变了多少,而是有多少东西保持不变。空格所在句为主语从句,从句中缺少主语,指代后文提到的抽象概念。故填What

5

考查特殊疑问词。句意:关于玩具的历史显著的不是几个世纪以来它们改变了多少,而是有多少东西保持不变。空格所在句强调的是几个世纪以来,玩具有多少东西保持不变,这里的“保持不变的东西”是抽象概念,为不可数名词。故填how much

6

考查强调句。句意:玩具在各个方面发展的普遍性以及它们能够存续至今都是令人惊奇的。本句是强调句,句型为It is/was+被强调部分+that/who+其它部分,因为被强调部分是物,所以用that。故填that

7

考查原因状语从句。句意:玩具的变化取决于当地的风俗和生活方式,因为玩具会模仿它们的周边环境。本句是原因状语从句,模仿周边环境是玩具发生变化的原因。故填because

8

考查定语从句。句意:因为玩具一般被认为是一种艺术形式,所以它们不受技术进步的影响,这些技术进步是以提供成年人使用的发明为特征的。本句是定语从句,从句中缺少主语,指物。故填that

9

考查代词。句意:进步是从公元前3000年一个婴儿玩的拨浪鼓到如今一个婴儿玩的拨浪鼓。空格处指代的是拨浪鼓这类玩具中的任意一个,表示泛指一个。故填one

10

考查固定短语。句意:每一个拨浪鼓都是时代艺术品味的产物,受可用材料限制性的影响。be subject to受……影响。故填to

【题目】Why Old Books Are Better Than New Books

Books, both old and new, are great things, but our culture emphasizes that“newer” things are often better. It's hard to say no to your favorite contemporary writer or an amazing up-and-coming author's latest publication, but it's always worth picking up an old book between reading newer ones.1.

They are free

The old classics are usually free or deeply discounted at used book stores.2.The first obvious place would be your local library, which I think is the most important institution of our time. There are some lovely“free bookstores” online such as Project Gutenberg and Bartleby, which provide free e-books.

They show a different way of life from another time

Older books are valuable because they show life from another time.3 .Everyone knows about these stories. Each book has a tale to tell from that point in history. In this sense, reading an old book is almost like visiting an interpretative museum.

4old classical books have stood out of time, but new books are still in a contemporary period with readers. "The ages bear evidence to the accuracy of their ideas, "Michael Hyatt writes about old books.5.There is no test for old novels to pass because the best ones have been passed on by many generations.

A.You'll remember it forever

B.They don't need to prove themselves

C.It doesn't mean it has lost its relevance

D.There are many ways to find these free books

E.Here's why old classic books stand out from new books

F.Ideas constantly float through our heads daily, but the best stand the test of time

G.Many books are stories or fairy tales from the past, like Beowulf and To Kill a Mockingbird

【题目】 Health and Social Care Secretary Jeremy Hunt has announced that the UK will host the first ever Global Ministerial Mental Health Summit(峰会) in London this October.This global summit aims to put mental-health care on an equal footing with the physical kind.

But there is a long way to go. One in four people will experience a mental-health problem at some point in life. In rich countries mental illnesses account for more suffering and premature death than heart disease, strokes(中风) or cancer. Meanwhile the central-African countries have just one mental-health professional per 100,000 people, a fiftieth as many as Europe has. (Less than 1% of foreign aid for health care goes towards mental health.)

As developing countries handle infectious diseases, mental health will consume a greater share of budgets and attention there. By 2020 mental-health conditions may account for 15% of the global burden of disease, but even in rich countries many people with common problems still go without treatment.

It is clear that mental illness is fast becoming one of the global health challenges of the 21st century. Until recently, this hasn’t had the profile it deserves on a global stage. The ministers gathering in London must produce new money and focus—and not just another declaration. The summit is also expected to help countries learn from each other to find the best ways to deal with increased rates of depression and anxiety among young people.

1Which of the following best explains “on an equal footing” underlined in paragraph 1?

A.Standing up for.B.Being as important as.

C.Standing in one’s shoes.D.Having an advantage over.

2What is the purpose of holding the meeting?

A.To find more foreign aid for health care.

B.To make a declaration on mental illnesses.

C.To solve the physical problems of the youth.

D.To stress the importance of mental health.

3Which disease causes more premature death in rich countries?

A.Heart disease.B.Cancer.

C.Mental illness.D.Stroke.

4What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?

A.Effective measures should be taken on mental health.

B.The problem of mental illness has drawn enough attention.

C.People in developed countries suffer less mental illnesses.

D.Mental-health diseases have taken up about 15% of the global illness cases.

【题目】Mark and his brother Jason both were looking at the shining new computer enviously. Jason was determined not to go against their father’s wishes but Mark was more adventurous than his brother. He loves experimenting and his aim was to become a scientist like his father.

“Dad will be really mad if he finds out you’ve been playing with his new computer” Jason said, “He told us not to touch it.”

“He won’t find out,” Mark said, “I’ll just have a quick look and shut it down.”

Mark had been scolded before for touching his father’s equipment. But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him.

It was a strange-looking machine — one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked. “It’s an experimental model,” his father had explained, so don’t touch it under any circumstances.” But his father’s warning only served to make Mark more curious. Without any further thought, Mark turned on the power switch. The computer burst into life and seconds later, the screen turned into colours, shifting and changing, and then two big white words appeared in the centre of the screen: “SPACE TRANSPORTER.”

“Yes!” Mark cried excitedly, “It’s a computer game. I knew it! Dad’s only been pretending to work. He’s really been playing games instead!” A new message appeared on the screen:

“ENTER NAMES

VOYAGE 1

VOYAGE 2

Mark’s finger flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names.

“INPUT ACCEPTED.

START TRANSPORT PROGRAM.

__________________

The screen turn even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume.

“I think we’d better shut it off, Mark,” Jason yelled out in terror, reaching for the power switch. A beam(光束) of dazzling white light burst out of the computer screen, wrapping the boys in its glow(光芒)until they themselves seemed to be glowing. Then it died down just as suddenly as it had burst into life. And the boys were no longer there. On the screen, the letters changed

“TRANSPORT SUCCESSFUL

DESTINATION: MARS.

RETRIEVE DATE: 2025

1Why did Mark touch the computer against his father’s warning?

A. He wanted to take a voyage.

2Where did the boy’s father most likely work?

D. In an information processing center.

3Mark thought “SPACE TRANSPORTER” on the screen was the name of ________.

A. a computer gameB. a company website

C. a software producerD. an astronomy program

4Why did Jason want to shut off the computer?

A. He was afraid of being scolded.

B. He didn’t like the loud noise and light.

【题目】阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。

Rescue in a Bottle

Curtis Whitson had rafted down the Arroyo Seco, a river in central California, several times before.

This year, Curtis Whitson knew the water-fall was coming. He figured he would get out of his raft into the shallow water, get down the rocks along ropes on either side of the falls, and continue on his way, as he had on a previous trip.

But this year was different. Heavy snow and spring rains had turned the usually manageable falls into something fierce. And this year, instead of his friends, Whitson’s companions were his girlfriend, Krystal Ramirez and his 13-year-old son, Hunter. As the three of them approached the falls late in, the afternoon of the third day of their camping trip, Whitson could tell from the increasing roar of water in the narrowing canyon (峡谷) that they were in serious trouble. There was no way they’d be able to get down the rocks as planned.

“The water was just roaring through there with tremendous force,” recalls Whitson, 45.

They had no smart phone service, and they hadn’t seen a single person in the past three days. And Whitson knew that they’d be sharing the ground there with rattlesnakes and mountain lions.

As he was thinking what to do, Whitson hit on a bit of luck — he heard voices coming from the other side of the falls. He yelled, but the sound of the rushing water drowned him out.

“We have to get these people a message,” Whitson thought.

He grabbed a stick and pulled out his pocketknife to carve “Help” in it. Then he tied a rope to it so the people would know it wasn’t just any stick. He tried throwing it over the falls, but it floated away in the wrong direction.

“We’ve got to do something!” Whitson yelled to his son. “Have we got anything else?”

Then he spotted his water bottle. Whitson grabbed it and carved “Help!” on it. Ramirez also reminded him that he had a pen and paper in his backpack.

Whitson knew it was a slim hope. But he wrote “6-15 19:00 We are stuck here@ the waterfall. Get help please” and pushed the note into the bottle. This time, his throw over the waterfall was perfect.

“All right, that’s all we can do,” Whitson told Hunter.

注意:

1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;

2. 应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语;

3. 续写部分分为两段,每段开头语己为你写好;
