Millions of people in Britain struggle out of bed each morning, fumble(乱摸) into some clothes, and __1__ their way to a cup of coffee and the morning __2__. They need something cheerful to remind them that rest of the day will be __3__ difficult than getting up. This need may be __4__ that many of them turn their __5__ eyes to the cartoons section of the newspaper as they sip (呷) their first cups of coffee of the day.

(1) A 动词短语make one's way to表示“向……走去”. (2) C 由下文many of them turn their half-opened eyes to the cartoons section of the newspaper可作出正确判断. (3) D 由句中的从属连词than可以确定,其前须用形容词比较级.“less +形容词原级+than”表示较低程度的比较. (4) B 上文叙述了They need something cheerful to remind them...,这正是下文中many of them turn their half-opened eyes to the cartoons section of the newspaper的原因,故此空应填the reason. (5) B 四个选项均为形容词,都可以作定语修饰名词,但短文首句Millions of people in Britain struggle out of bed each morning,fumble into some clothes,and make their way to a cup of coffee and the morning newspaper.表明最佳答案为B.早晨人们睡眼惺忪地去看报纸,自然眼睛是半开着的. (6) C 该句为主题句,综合叙述了漫画反映了时代及人们的烦恼和忧虑,由短文第三段首句Cartoons also make people laugh at their own personal worries.我们可以判断出,C为最佳选项. (7) B 四个选项的人称代词和不定代词都可以作介词at的宾语,但下文They also make fun of the problems that people make for themselves表明,这里指漫画使人们嘲笑别人. (8) B 四个选项的现在分词填入空白都可以作show的宾语补足语,但由句首的时间状语In times of prosperity可以确定B为最佳选项,这里指人们喜爱良好的经济形势. (9) D 由下文解释性的介词短语like making a problem,可以确定此空应填 problems,是其后定语从句that people make for themselves所修饰的先行词. (10) C 此空应填入of which.out of在该句中意为“来自”,其后的“疑问词+不定式”起名词词组的作用,在句中作介词of的宾语.which type of car与动词不定式to buy具有逻辑上的动宾关系. (11) A 由空白前表选择的并列连词or可以判断出,此空应填表示物的不定代词,排除B、C.something作“某事”、“某物”解一般用于肯定句中;anything作“任何事物”、“任何东西”解一般用于否定句、疑问句和条件句中.该句为肯定句,最佳答案为A.someone or something与其后作定语的动词不定式to blame their troubles on具有逻辑上的动宾关系. (12) B 四个选项的复合形容词都可以作定语修饰situation,从单句看语法都正确,但根据下文政府应对糟糕的经济形势负责,漫画对政府领导人作为替罪羊嘲弄,以其help people to see the humor,可以判断出B为最佳选项. (13) C 该句为含有并列复合谓语的简单句,第二个谓语动词show与前一个谓语动词say表示的是同位关系,故填表示“也”的副词also,置于情态动词 might之后,主要动词show之前. (14) A 上文叙述了在经济困难时期,漫画能够表示出国家的政府应为此负责,并拿政府领导人作为替身进行嘲弄,这无疑对于广大人民是莫大的精神安慰,使他们对形势感到更舒服点,故此空应填比较级形容词better,与feel构成系表结构. (15) D 上文已经提到They give people an opportunity to laugh at others and at familiar situations.以及漫画Being able to use the leaders as scapegoats and to laugh at the leaders,再根据下文Young people,old people以及Students对their own personal worries发笑的叙述,可以判断出此空应填laugh at. (16) B 根据句型结构,空白后的grown children pay little attention to them为一定语从句,先行词为人,定语从句不能用which引导.其余三个选项均为引导定语从句的关系代词,但只有B项能作定语,修饰grown children,故为最佳选项. (17) B 四个选项均为不定代词的所有格,都能作定语修饰名词problems,但这些不定代词所表达的意义不同:Somebody某人,有人;everybody人人,大家;each one每个;anybody任何人.根据上文叙述的年轻人、老人、学生都在嘲笑自己所遇到的问题,可以推断出漫画所表现的比现实生活夸大了的是大家所遇到的问题,强调的是整体,故答案选B. (18) A seem作“看起来”、“似乎”解暗示判断有一定根据,这种判断往往接近现实,由原因状语从句there is humor in something that is real being made unreal可以确定答案为A,这里seem为系动词,其后跟形容词作表语. (19) D 四个选项的形容词填入空白,都可以与助动词is构成被动语态,但只有D项是“制作”的意思,可由主句a simple line drawing and a few words can make people laugh作出正确判断. (20) B 上文叙述了漫画被制作之后,简单的线条和寥寥数言会引起人们发笑,我们再根据空白后的并列分句they enjoy life more fully,就不难判断出人们在看漫画时对生活的充分享受,远远超过了现实的烦恼,故最佳答案选B. |

We all know that some things are obviously right. For example, it is right to be 1 to other people. It is also right to look after the environment. Some things are 2 wrong, too. For instance, we should not hurt or bully(欺负)others, nor should we litter. Rules often tell us what is right or wrong.
Rules can help the public make the right 3 , and remain safe. Car drivers have to obey traffic regulations that tell them the right things to do on the road to avoid crashes. Cyclists who give signals before turning or stopping help prevent 4 .
If people follow rules without taking other matters into consideration, it will be 5 for them to form what is sometimes called a “black and white” view (黑白分明的观点). For example, they may believe that people should always tell the truth, and that lying is 6 acceptable. Such people always stick to their views, even if it means that they may get into 7 .
Sometimes it may not be so easy to know 8 what is right or wrong. Some people choose not to eat meat because they believe that it is 9 to eat animals, but others argue that they can eat meat and 10 be kind to animals; some insist that stealing is always wrong, but others think that one does not need to feel so guilty (有罪的) when stealing some food to eat, if he lives in a really poor area and he is starving.
Rules help us live together in harmony, because they show us the right way to treat others. However, some people argue that rules may be confusing, having observed that rules change all the time, and that some schools have some regulations and others have different ones---so who is to decide what is right?
1. A.kind B.sensitive C.fair D.generous
2. A.equally B.slightly C.clearly D.increasingly
3. A.suggestions B.conclusion C.turns D.choices
4. A.accidents B.mistakes C.falls D.deaths
5. A.interesting B.vital (重要的) C.easy D.valuable
6. A.seldom B.rarely C.merely (仅仅) D.never
7. A.trouble B.power C.prison D.control
8. A.roughly B.eventually C.deliberately (故意地) D.exactly
9. A.awful (可怕的) B.cruel C.unhealthy D.unnecessary
10. A.still B.even C.later D.somehow

I know my brother better than anyone else in the world. Since the moment of his birth, I’ve been part of his life. I had spent seven 29 years in the world with the attention of those around me. But when Rohan was born, life 30 . Suddenly I had to share my toys and there were no more bedtime stories or my own choice of food.
Finally, I felt my 31 at my brother. The poor baby had no idea what 32 me so unhappy. Maybe he found me strange, the only person in this house 33 did not like him. Whatever the reason was, he loved following me around. However, I seldom talked to him and 34 asked him to leave me alone.
Then all that changed. I hardly remember everything of that day six years ago, 35 I do remember that I was feeling very angry. Somehow my feet led me to my brother’s bed. My hand, completely 36 from my mind, reached through the bars (护栏). At once, he reached out his small hand and softly touched 37 . And that was all I needed. Through all the unhappiness of the day, that one moment changed everything. How could I hate someone who made me 38 so important?

When I come across a good article in reading newspapers,I often want to cut and keep it.But just as I am about to do so,I find the article on the 31 side is as much interesting.It may be a discussion of the way to 32 in good health,or advice about how to behave and 33 yourself in society.If I cut the front articles,the opposite one is likely to suffer 34 ,leaving one half of it or keeping the text 35 the title.Therefore,the scissors would stay before they start, 36 the cutting would be halfway done when I find out the 37 result.
Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time,both worth your 39 .You can only take up one of them;the other has to wait or be 39 up.But you know the future is unpredictable—the changed situation may not 40 you to do what is left behind.Thus you are 41 in a difficult position and feel sad.How come nice 42 and clever ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life 43 greatly on your preference of your one choice to the other.
In fact that is what 44 is like;we are often 45 with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both 46 like a newspaper cutting.It often occurs that our attention is 47 to the thing only after we get into another.The former may be more important than the latter and this 48 a divided mind.I still remember a philosopher’s 49 :“When one door shuts,another opens in life.”So a casual(不经意的) 50 may not be a bad one.
