三、阅读理解

 ； ； ； "；I have cancer."； Mom said and held me in a tight hug. I could feel her chest shaking as she tried not to cry but failed.

 ； ； ； For all of my twenty-four years, my mom had been supportive. Strength and protection had always flowed from her to me. Now I knew it would have to flow the other way.

 ； ； ； Mom didn'；t stay down for long. After the shock of breast-cancer, she armed herself with a notebook and a pen and a thousand questions for the doctors. She took notes on white blood cell counts and medications(药物) with long names as though she were studying for entrance exams into medical school. "；The not-knowing is the worst."； she said.

 ； ； ； The operation was successful. The chemo(化疗) was the harder part. I went with Mom to every chemo treatment. She rarely complained, though her hair was gone and her toenails and fingernails fell out one by one. She joked that she could save money on nail polish and put it toward the doctor bills, even though she never wore nail polish. "；Cancer can take my hair, my nails, my health, my very life. But it can'；t take my smile."； Mom said.

 ； ； ； Mom learned to share her fears with me, and it formed an even deeper bond between us. Yet I am certain there were fears she didn'；t share because she was still protecting me-worries she only shared with Dad. Even in the darkest hours, she would just joke about the cancer. Mom always said, "；When you look your greatest fear in the eye and laugh at it, you take away some of its power."；

 ； ； ； Mom was one of the lucky ones. She did beat her cancer, though not without scars. From her, I'；ve learned I may not get to choose what I face, but I do get to choose how I face it.

16、What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?

A.There were other ways to treat cancer. ； ； ； ； B.Knowledge of cancer would be helpful.

C.Mom had to stay stronger to beat cancer. D.I should be the one being there for Mom.

17、Which of the following words can best describe Mom?

A.Humorous and generous. ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； B.Considerate and ambitious.

C.Optimistic and determined. ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； D.Caring and knowledgeable.

18、What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?

A.The fear Mom shared with me. ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； B.The ways Mom faced fear.

C.The jokes Mom told me. ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； ； D.The bond Mom and I formed.

19、What lesson did the author learn from Mom?

A.Luck counts in beating diseases.

B.Complaint does no good to one'；s health.

C.Positive attitudes get one through hardship.

D.Sharing feelings helps reduce sufferings a lot.

四、七选五

20、 ； ； ； Is it true that British people have a different sense of humour than people in other countries? Let'；s have a look at what we laugh at in Britain.

 ； ； ； ①_____ It'；s not just politicians who make us chuckle, but anyone whose job is to tell other people what to do and who takes themselves too seriously.

 ； ； ； We laugh at authority, but also kindly laugh with anyone who is treated unfairly. We know they can'；t win, but if they do so sometimes, it'；s even funnier. ②_____ Our clowns are often silly people doing silly things, Mr. Bean, for example.

 ； ； ； The fact that we laugh when other people might feel hopeless is one of the oddest things to appreciate about British humour. We do have a strong sense of irony. "；Not very pleasant,"； we might say after some terrible experience. ③_____ "；It'；s a bit windy today,"； we might say in the middle of a typhoon, or "；There'；s a slight problem,"； when something has gone very seriously wrong. This is related to the old-fashioned British expression "；stiff upper lip"；. ④_____

 ； ； ； Another thing that can make it difficult to understand British humour is that we don'；t always laugh or even smile when we say something funny. ⑤_____ Do you think the British sense of humour is unique?

A. In addition, we tend to play things down.

B. Culture plays a big part in how funny you may find something.

C. We often keep a straight face even when we'；re making a joke.

D. Brits don'；t express extreme feelings； we just "；keep calm and carry on"；.

E. Brits turn to laughter as a form of medicine when life knocks them down.

F. In America, they are often clever people doing clever things and winning.

G. To the British, powerful and important people are often sources of laughter.

参考答案

1、答案：complicated

解析：句意:黑色星期五背后的真相有点儿复杂。a bit 修饰形容词,故填complicated。

2、答案：composer

解析：句意:这位作曲家是这个镇上许多著名的游客之一。定冠词应限定名词。

3、答案：cruelty

解析：句意:见此残暴情形,那个人无法克制自己的愤怒。this修饰名词,cruelty意为“残酷,残暴的行为”。

4、答案：gently

解析：句意:他只是看着我,然后温柔地说了一句我永远不会忘记的话。said是动词,应用副词修饰。

5、答案：conclusion

解析：句意:总之,我对提供的各种菜肴印象深刻。in conclusion总之。

6、答案：in

解析：句意:他悄悄告诉我他过去的生活。in a whisper是固定短语,意为“低声地,悄声地”。

7、答案：on

解析：考查介词。句意：詹姆斯被电话叫去见那个制片人，并当场得到了那份工作。on the spot当场。

8、答案：whom

解析：句意:调皮的孩子们玩了一整天,都累坏了。考查非限制性定语从句。先行词children指人,故用all of whom引导从句。

9、答案：as

解析：句意:正如评论中所表明的,这个城市的空气质量在过去两个月里已经得到改善。考查非限制性定语从句。as引导非限制性定语从句,修饰整个主句,可置于主句之前、之中或之后。

10、答案：whose

解析：句意:我的说话风趣的儿子现在在纽约,他的工作让他全世界到处跑。考查非限制性定语从句。关系代词在定语从句中作work的定语,故用whose。

11、答案：When the teacher explained the concept, the students listened attentively.

12、答案：I am going to visit an old friend from Portugal this weekend, who knows a lot about money matters.

解析：考查动词时态和定语从句。根据汉语句意可知，表示“周末”可用this weekend；表示“计划去拜访”可用短语be going to visit sb；表示“一位葡萄牙的老朋友”可用 an old friend from Portugal；后面的“此人精通理财之道”可以处理为定语从句，修饰前面的名词friend,可译为who knows a lot about money matters，关系代词who代替先行词在从句中做主语，因从句陈述客观事实，故用一般现在时。故翻译为I am going to visit an old friend from Portugal this weekend, who knows a lot about money matters.

13、答案：This year’s homecoming event is held at the gym, where students can present their own themed performances.

14、答案：The new textbooks whose activity designs are novel, have clear teaching objectives, which can greatly stimulate the enthusiasm of high school students to learn English.

17、答案：C

解析：题干:下面哪一个单词描述妈妈更好?根据第三段“She didn'；t stay down for long.(她没有保持失落很长时间)”和第四段“She rarely complained.(她很少抱怨。)”可知,妈妈是乐观并且坚强的,故选C；A.幽默慷慨的；B.体贴的并且有野心的；D.关心和知识渊博的。

18、答案：B

解析：题干:第五段主要是关于什么的?第五段主要在讲妈妈和作者分享一部分对癌症的恐惧,但是她依然乐观面对,甚至在最黑暗的时间里开关于癌症的玩笑。因此可知第五段主要在讲妈妈面对癌症的方式,故选B妈妈面对恐惧的方式；A.妈妈和我分享对癌症的恐惧；C.妈妈给我讲笑话；D.妈妈和我之间形成了纽带。

19、答案：C

20、答案：GFADC

解析：①利用信息呼应解题。根据下文“It'；s not just politicians... too seriously.”可知,空格处指出了在英国哪些人会让人们发笑,G选项中的powerful and important people对应下文中的politicians等信息。故G项符合语境。

②利用对比关系解题。根据上文“We laugh at authority, but also... who is treated unfairly. We know they can'；t win, but...even funnier.”以及后文“Our clowns are often silly people doing silly things...”可知,上文提到了英国人喜欢嘲笑哪些人,可推测该空承接上文,指出美国与英国的不同,故F项符合语境。

③利用信息呼应解题。根据上文“ ‘Not very pleasant,’ we might say after some terrible experience.”以及下文“ ‘It'；s a bit windy today,’ we might say...very seriously wrong.”可知,英国人倾向于淡化一些严重的事情,故A项符合语境。

④利用信息呼应解题。根据上文“ ‘It'；s a bit windy today,’ we might say...very seriously wrong.”可知,英国人倾向于淡化一些严重的事情,也就是说不会表达极端的情感,故D项符合语境。

⑤利用同义转述解题。根据上文中的we don'；t always laugh or even smile when we say something funny可知,英国人在说有趣的事情时,不总是大笑甚至微笑。由此推测该空承接上文,进一步指出英国人在开玩笑的时候,也经常板着脸,故C项符合语境。
