[2013·江西卷]

The light from the campfire brightened the darkness, but it could not prevent the damp cold of Dennis's Swamp (沼泽地) creeping into their bones. It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jack's dare. They liked camping, but not near this swamp.

“So，” Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals. “How did this place get its name? ”

“Are you sure you want to hear it? It's a scary story，” warned Jack.

“Of course！” cried out Tom. “If there were anything to be scared of, you wouldn't have chosen this place！”

“OK, but don't say I didn't warn you，” said Jack, and he began his tale.

“Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here. He built that cottage over there to live in. In those days, the area looked quite different—it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystal－clear river. After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice.”

“…You are clearing too much land?，warned one old man. …The land is a living thing. It will hit back at you if you abuse it.?

…Silly fool?，said Dennis to himself. …If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. I'll become wealthier. He's just jealous！?”

“Dennis continued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door. He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land. He did not notice swamp plants choking all the native plants.”

“What happened? ” Martin asked. It was growing colder. He trembled, twisting his body closer to the fire.

“The land hit back—just as the old man warned, ” Jack shrugged. “Dennis disappeared. Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater. His body was never found.”

“What a stupid story, ” laughed Tom. “Plants can't…” Before he had finished speaking, he screamed and fainted(晕倒). The other two boys jumped up with fright, staring at Tom. Suddenly, they burst out laughing. Some green swamp ivy (常春藤) had covered Tom's face. It was a while before Tom could appreciate the joke.

56．The underlined word “dare” in Para graph 1 is closest in meaning to ________．

A. courage

B. assistance

C. instruction

D. challenge

57. Why did Jack tell Tom and Martin the story?

A. To frighten them.

D. To persuade them to camp in the swamp.

58. Why did Dennis ignore the warning of the old man?

A. The old man envied him.

B. The old man was foolish.

C. He was too busy to listen to others.

D. He was greedy for more crops.

59. Why did Tom scream and faint?

B. He was scared by a plant.

C. His friends played a joke on him.

D. The weather became extremely cold.

[2013·山东卷]

George Gershwin, born in 1898, was one of America's greatest composers. He published his first song when he was eighteen years old. During the next twenty years he wrote more than five hundred songs.

Many of Gershwin's songs were first written for musical plays performed in theatres in New York City. These plays were a popular form of entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s. Many of his songs have remained popular as ever. Over the years they have been sung and played in every possible way — from jazz to country.

In the 1920s there was a debate in the United States about jazz music. Could jazz, some people asked, be considered serious music? In 1924 jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul Whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music. Gershwin agreed to compose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few weeks to do it. And in that short time, he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which he called Rhapsody in Blue. Gershwin himself played the piano at the concert. The audience were thrilled when they heard his music. It made him world-famous and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular.

In 1928, Gershwin went to Paris. He applied to study composition (作曲)with the well-known musician Nadia Boulanger, but she rejected him. She was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazz-influenced style. While there, Gershwin wrote An American in Paris. When it was first performed, critics (评论家)were pided over the music. Some called it happy and full of life, to others it was silly and boring. But it quickly became popular in Europe and the United States. It still remains one of his most famous works.

George Gershwin died in 1937, just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer. He was only thirty-nine years old. Newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages. People mourned the loss of the man and all the music he might have still written.

60．Many of Gershwin's musical works were ________．

A．written about New Yorkers

B．composed for Paul Whiteman

C．played mainly in the countryside

D．performed in various ways

5

61．What do we know about the concert organized by Whiteman?

A．It attracted more people to theatres.

B．It proved jazz could be serious music.

C．It made Gershwin leader of the orchestra.

D．It caused a debate among jazz musicians.

62．What did Gershwin do during his stay in Paris?

A．He created one of his best works.

B．He studied with Nadia Boulanger.

C．He argued with French critics.

D．He changed his music style.

63．Which of the following best describes Gershwin?

B．Serious and boring.

C．Popular and unhappy.

D．Friendly and honest.

Argentina in the late nineteenth century was an exciting place. Around 1870，it was experiencing an economic(经济的)boom，and the capital，Buenos Aires，attracted many people. Farmers，as well as a flood of foreigners from Spain and Italy，came to Buenos Aires seeking jobs. These jobs didn't pay well，and the people felt lonely and disappointed with their new life in the city. As the unhappy newcomers mixed together in the poor parts of the city，the dance known as the tango(探戈舞) came into being.

At the beginning the tango was a dance of the lower classes. It was danced in the bars and streets. At that time there were many fewer women than men，so if a man didn't want to be left out，his only choice was to dance with another man so that he could attract the attention of the few available women. Gradually，the dance spread into the upper classes of Argentinean society and became more respectable.

In Europe at this time，strong interest in dance from around the world was beginning. The interest in international dance was especially evident in Paris. Every kind of dance from ballet(芭蕾舞) to belly dancing could be found on the stages of the Paris theaters. After tango dancers from Argentina arrived in Europe，they began to draw the interest of the public as they performed their exciting dance in cafes. Though not everyone approved of the new dance，saying it was a little too shocking，the dance did find enough supporters to make it popular.

The popularity(流行)of the tango continued to grow in many other parts of the world. Soldiers who returned to the United States from World War Ⅰbrought the tango to North America. It reached Japan in 1926，and in 2003 the Argentinean embassy in Seoul hired a local tango dancer to act as a kind of dance ambassador，and promote tango dancing throughout South Korea.

64. The origin of the tango is associated with________．

A．belly dancers B．American soldiers

C．a Spanish city D．the capital of Argentina

65．Which of the following is true about the tango?

A．It was created by foreigners from Spain and Italy.

B．People of the upper classes loved the tango most.

6

C．It was often danced by two males in the beginning.

D．A dancer in Seoul became the Argentinean ambassador.

66．Before World War Ⅰ，the tango spread to________．

C．France D．South Korea

67．What can be the best title for the text?

A．How to Dance the Tango

B．The History of the Tango

C．How to Promote the Tango

D．The Modern Tango Boom

The oldest and most common source(来源)of renewable energy known to man, biomass is one of the most important forms of energy production in the United States and elsewhere. Since such a wide variety of biomass materials is everywhere—from trees and grasses to agricultural and city－life wastes—biomass promises to play a continuing role in providing power and heat for millions of people around the world.

According to the Union of Concerned Scientists(UCS), biomass is a kind of renewable energy source that produces no carbon dioxide(二氧化碳), because the energy it contains comes from the sun. When plant matter is burned, it gives off the sun's energy. In this way, biomass serves as a sort of natural battery(电池)for storing the sun's energy. As long as biomass is produced continuously—with only as much grown as is used—the “battery” lasts forever.

According to the Energy Information Administration, biomass has been one of the leading renewable energy sources in the United States for several years running through 2007, making up between 0.5 and 0.9 percent of the nation's total electricity supply. In 2008—although the numbers aren't all in yet—wind power probably took over first place because of the rapid development of wind farms across the country.

Producing power from biomass helps reduce some 11 million tons of carbon dioxide each year. Some homeowners also try to make their own heat by using biomass materials. Such practice may save homeowners' money, but it also produces a lot of pollution. So, the best way is to encourage power plants to use it.

68．Why is biomass considered as “a sort of natural battery”？

A．It burns merely plant matter.

B．It keeps producing electricity.

C．It stores the energy from the sun.

D．It produces zero carbon dioxide.

69．We learn from the text that in 2008 ________．

A．wind power could be the leader of renewable energy

B. there was a rapid growth of electricity production

C．biomass might become the main energy source

D．0.5～0.9% of power supply came from biomass

70．Why does the author encourage power plants to use biomass?

A．To prevent the waste of energy.

B．To increase production safety.

7

C．To reduce pollution.

D．To save money.

________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________

答案与解析

21．D考查情景交际。句意：——谢谢你的花。——不客气。我认为它们或许会使你振奋起来。D项意为“不客气，没关系”，符合语境。A项意为“没错”；B项意为“好吧”；C 项意为“我很好”。

22．A考查冠词。第一空a preference表示“一种倾向性的喜好”，用不定冠词a表示“一个，一种”的概念，同时have/develop a preference for sth.也可以看作是固定词组，表示“对某物的偏好，喜爱”；而第二空at an early age是固定词组，意为“在幼年时期”，也表示“一个，一种”的概念。故选A项。

23．A考查动词的时态。句意：每天晚上2点左右，Sue总会说梦话。这弄得我们有点儿烦。此处will是情态动词，意为“总会”。根据every night可知是“经常”发生的动作，因此用一般现在时。

24．D考查非谓语动词。空格前的all words与use构成逻辑上的动宾关系，需用过去分词作后置定语。句意：在一些语言里，100个单词组成了日常会话里用的所有的单词的一半。

25．D考查动词词义辨析。句意：她给这块地毯在颜色上配上一些非常好看的窗帘。connect意为“连接”；fit意为“(使)适合”；equip意为“装备，配备”；match意为“使相配，使相称”，符合语境。

26．B 本题考查动词短语辨析。put up举起，张贴；put in 使……加入，使……进入；put on 穿上，上演；put off 推迟。句意：在最后一刻，汤姆决定添加一个新角色来使故事显得更加真实。根据题干中的more likely提示，汤姆决定“添加”一个角色，故B正确。

9

27．D 考查情态动词。由前面的I'm not sure 可知是不太确定，因此用might表示有可能。

28．D考查虚拟语气。条件句“如果我们提前预订”是对过去的假设，所以用过去完成时，选D。

29．C考查介词短语辨析。句意：如果你能去商店买些我们晚餐需要的东西，那就太好了。与此同时，我也会摆好餐具的。空格处表示“同时，与此同时”的含义，所以用in the meanwhile。as a result意为“结果是……”；on the whole意为“总体上”；as a matter of fact意为“事实上”，都与语境不符，所以选C项。

30．C考查连词。后句说官司打不赢，用unless来表示相反的条件。

31．C考查动词时态。从句中说“我们太晚了”可知，“火车已经走了”，再从答语“没关系。我们乘坐去伦敦的下一趟火车”看，指火车现在已经走了，故用现在完成时。

32．D考查名词性从句。题干中it作形式主语，所填词引导的从句作真正的主语，引导词在从句中不作成分，但其意思是“是否”，用whether引导，故选D。句意：新成立的委员会的政策是否能够付诸实施还有待观察。

33．C考查定语从句。先行词是a lonely island，在定语从句中作主语。句意：最终他到达了一个孤岛上，这个孤岛与外界完全隔绝。

34．C考查倒装。否定介词短语位于句首时，用部分倒装。后面“It was unfair to punish them.”中谓语是过去时，所以选C而不选B。

35．C考查名词性从句的连接词。believe后的宾语从句陈述的是一个事实，并且从句中不缺成分，所以只需填入关系词that即可。

第二节完形填空

51．B考查语境理解。句意：Zigfried尽情地享受着和新家庭在一起的每个小时。

52．A考查连词词义辨析。空格后它听到孩子们在谈论圣诞节可能得到的礼物是猫，这与它的快乐的心情形成了强烈的对比，故用however。however 然而，却；instead 代替，而不是；moreover 此外，而且；therefore因此，所以。

53．D考查形容词词义辨析。根据空格前它喝着热乎乎的巧克力可知，Zigfried对自己目前的生活感到很满意，因此它露出了满意的笑容。bitter痛苦的；forced 勉强的；polite 礼貌的；satisfied满意的。

第三部分阅读理解

A

【要点综述】本文主要讲述了三个人在沼泽地附近露营以及Dennis's Swamp名字的由来。

56. D考查词义猜测。由语境可知，他们去沼泽地野营应该是接受了杰克的挑战。

57. B考查推理判断。根据第二、三、四段他们的对话可知，Jack多次警告他们这个故事吓人，但经不住他们的请求还是告诉他们了，可知讲这个故事并不是为了吓他们，而是为了满足他们的好奇心。

58. D考查细节理解。由第八段“If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. I'll become wealthier. He's just jealous！”可知他想有更多的土地，种更多的庄稼，变得更富有，还认为老人在嫉妒他。由此可知他不听老人的劝告是因为他想种更多的庄稼。

59. B考查细节理解。由最后一段倒数第二句“Some green swamp ivy (常春藤) had covered Tom's face.”可知他晕倒的原因是因为他被常春藤吓到了。

B

【要点综述】这是一篇人物传记。文章主要讲述了美国著名作曲家乔治·格什温的生平以及他在音乐方面的巨大贡献。

60．D考查细节理解。从第二段的“Over the years they have been sung and played in every possible way—from jazz to country.”可知，乔治·格什温的音乐作品是以各种形式演唱或演奏的。故选D。

61．B考查推理判断。根据第三段的“Gershwin himself played the piano at the concert. The audience were thrilled when they heard his music. It made him world－famous and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular.”可知，这个音乐会充分证明爵士音乐流行的

62．A考查细节理解。从第四段的第二句可知B项不正确；从第四段的“When it was first performed, critics were pided over the music.”可知，不是格什温与评论家争辩，故C项不正确；没有提到他音乐风格的改变，故D项不正确；从第四段的最后一句“It still remains one of his most famous wo rks.”可知A项是正确的。

65．C推理判断题。根据题干中的关键词“tango”定位到文章第二段第三句“At that time, there were many fewer women than men, so if a man didn't want to be left out, his only choice was to dance with another man so that he could attract the attention of the few available women.”，因此可知C项正确。

66．C细节理解题。根据题干中的关键词“Before World WarⅠ”定位到最后一段。探戈传到美国是第一次世界大战结束后，传到日本是1926年，传到韩国更晚。由此可知，答案A、B、D均不对。而从文章第三段可知，探戈传到法国应该是在第一次世界大战之前。故选C。

69．A推理判断题。根据第三段中的“In 2008—although the numbers aren't all in yet—wind power probably took over first place because of the rapid development of wind farms across the country.”可知，2008年风能占居首位。关键词定位：A项中的the leader of 和文中first place意思相同。

70．C推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Some homeowners also try to make their own heat by using biomass materials. Such practice may save homeowners' money, but it also produces a lot of pollution. So, the best way is to encourage power plants to use it.”可知C正确。

短文改错：

1. comes→ came。时态错误。

2. 去掉with后的a。with pleasure意为“愉快地，高兴地，十分愿意”。当它为可数名词时，意思是“乐事”。

3. and →but。not only…but (also)…为固定搭配，意思是“不但……而且……”。

4. 去掉it。as you know是非限制性定语从句，know的宾语是as，所以要删除多余的it。

5．express前加to。would like to do…是固定短语。

6. learning→ learned。for/in/during the last/past…yea rs作时间状语时，句子中的谓语动词应该用现在完成时态。

7. Thank→ Thanks。thanks to幸亏，因为。

8. progresses→ progress。progress是不可数名词。

9. well→ better。

10. possibly→ possible。as…as possible尽可能地……

On the Way to School

These days, breaking traffic rules and littering are not uncommon, causing serious harm to life and the environment. Changing this situation requires considerable effort on the part of everyone. As for me, it should start on my way to school.

I will keep traffic rules in mind all the way. If I ride a bicycle, I'll always keep to the right and never cross a road until the traffic light turns green. If I walk, I'll never forget to use the pedestrian crossing. Meanwhile, I'll regard it as my duty to help keep our environment clean and healthy. Not only will I keep from littering and spitting anywhere, I will also help clean up the roadside litter whenever possible. I hope my behavior will make a difference.
