2．Everyone would prefer to improve the________of their life by taking part in all kinds of activities. A．quantity

C．quantities D．qualities

答案 B [句意：人人都愿意通过参加各种各样的活动来提高生活质量。quality“质量，特性”，当“质量”讲时常用单数形式；quantity“数量”，排除A和C。]

3．Living in________ever increasingly fast-paced world，we are facing greater competition，so we must take________advantage of every opportunity to develop. A．an；the B．an；/ C．the；an D．the；/

答案 B 考查冠词。句意为：生活在一个节奏日益加快的世界，我们正面临着更激烈的竞争，所以我们必须利用每一个发展的机会。 根据句意可知，第一空处表示泛指，又因为ever的读音是以元音音素开头的，故用不定冠词an；take advantage of表示“利用 ”，为固定短语，故第二空不用冠词。

B．makes fun of D．plays tricks on

答案 A [考查固定短语。take advantage of“利用”。make fun of“嘲弄，拿??开玩笑”；pay attention to“注意”；play tricks on“戏弄，对??恶作剧”。句意：他总是利用我的善心向我借钱，却从不归还。]

A．which B．when C．that D．whether

答案 C [句意为：作为青少年，直到我们能够勇敢地面对困难，我们才算足够成熟。考查not until的强调句：It is not until＋被强调部分＋that＋原句剩余部分，所以C项正确。]

12．—You've been getting home very late recently. —________？Can't I enjoy myself if I want to? A．So how C．So why

B．So what D．So where

答案 B [考查交际用语。句意：“你最近一直回家很晚”。“那又怎么样？如果我想玩得开心一些不行吗？”此句只能用So what表示说话者的不以为然，意为“那又怎么样？”。]

13．Nothing can discourage him from________his promise, for he is a very honest man. A．carrying

B．breaking

14．Chinese people spend________money on education perperson today as they did in 1960.

A．more than twice B．as twice as much C．twice as much as D．more than twice as much

答案 D [考查倍数的用法。句意为：今天中国人花费在教育上的人均费用是1960年的两倍多。倍数的表达形式是“倍数＋as...as...”，所以A、B不对；又因为句中已经有个as，所以C项错误。]

3

15．—________you got to know I traveled to the USA? —Through one of your colleagues. A．Where it was that C．How was it that

B．When it was that

D．Why was it that

答案 C [句意：“你是如何知道我去美国旅游这一消息的？”“是通过你的一位同事(知道的)。”本题考查特殊疑问句的强调句型：“特殊疑问词＋was/is it that＋其他成分”，故排除B项；根据答语可知，问话是对方式进行提问，需用特殊疑问词how。故选C项。] II. 阅读理解

A

Katharine Mehta's mother likes to joke that the first sentence her daughter said was“I love dogs.”It's not the fact, but it's certainly true in spirit.

“When I was young, my grandmother told me about how she sometimes found stray dogs and cats, and kept them on her farm

as pets，”says Katharine.“That made me wonder what would happen when animals didn't have a home.I felt horrible thinking that they might be hungry or could get hit by a car.”

But what could a little girl do？The answer came during a trip to a park in her New York City neighborhood two years ago, where she met volunteers from Mighty Mutts, a local no-kill animal rescue organization.“I thought maybe I could earn some money and give it to them，”she says.

Since Katharine had plenty of practice taking care of her own dog, she decided to start a summer dog-walking service.She chose two friends and, with their parents'permission, the group put up homemade posters with their phone numbers and a bargain price—50 cents an hour.Before long they had 15 dogs in their care.“We walked two or three at a time with one mother helping out，”she says.“By the end of that summer, we'd collected $45.”That fall Katharine and her mother，Loma, came up with another mini enterprise to raise money for Mighty Mutts—selling fresh-baked shortbread to their neighbors.

The 11-year-old，who starts sixth grade this fall, has become a nonstop campaigner.Her mother says，“When she sees somebody with a dog, she starts a conversation and tells them to donate to Mighty Mutts.”

Katharine's passion comes from the heart.“It makes me cry to think that strays might be_put_to_sleep when there's a group that can find new homes for them，” Katharine says.“But it makes me smile to know I can help.” Notes：

①stray adj.流浪的 ②shortbread n．黄油甜酥饼 1．Katharine's love of dogs comes from________． A．her grandmother's influence B．her mother's influence

C．the influence of an organization D．seeing a dog killed by a car

2．How did Katharine help the organization—Mighty Mutts? A．By walking stray dogs.

B．By giving shortbread to stray dogs. C．By collecting money.

D．By making speeches everywhere.

3．The underlined part“be put to sleep”in the last paragraph means“________”． A．to be supplied with a comfortable place for sleeping B．to be given drugs so that they can die without pain C．to be made unconscious before a medical operation D．to be made to sleep

4．What would be the best title for the passage? A．Katharine and her pets

B．An organization for rescuing stray dogs C．Pet dogs are popular with children D．A little girl helps strays

5．The author's attitude towards Katharine's behaviour is________． A．disappointed

B．indifferent

5

C．favourable D．critical

【语篇解读】 本文主要讲了11岁女孩Katharine是如何关爱和帮助流浪狗等小动物的。 1．A [细节理解题。由第二段可知，Katharine关心流浪狗是受奶奶的影响。]

2．C [推理判断题。由第三、四段可知，Katharine为别人遛狗挣钱，然后捐给Mighty Mutts，并且经常劝说养狗的人为Mighty Mutts捐款，故选C。]

3．B [词义猜测题。Katharine很有爱心，非常关心无家可归的小动物，所以她一想到流浪的小动物被人们用药物所谓“仁道地”杀死，她就会心痛地流泪。put to sleep意为“用药物使(长眠)，无痛苦地杀死”。]

4．D [标题归纳题。全文主要讲述了小女孩Katharine帮助、关爱流浪狗，故正确答案为D。]

5．C [态度判断题。根据作者在文中多次引用小女孩母亲的话和小女孩的话来展现小女孩帮助流浪小动物的感人行为，及最后一段第一句可判断，作者对Katharine行为的认可和赞成。]

Does stress cause gray hair？Many people believe that tension and stress can cause your hair to lose its color.In fact，it is an_old_wives’_tale that being upset all the time can result in premature graying.Here is a closer look at this situation and why some believe that this old wives’ tale could be true.

As one ages，the hairs on the head also age.In fact，just about everything on the human body begins to show signs of wear and tear after a while.The joints wear and become stiff and skin wears and becomes wrinkled.Hairs on the head grow and eventually die.They are replaced，but in the process something else happens.

When new hairs are replaced，the color or pigment (色素) is also added to them.However，as one ages，this pigment becomes less and less available.At first，hairs will have a limited amount of pigment and they will appear to be grayish in color.In time，they will lose all of their pigment and will be white.Many things are known to cause graying，and genetics is a very powerful factor.If one of your parents turns gray at an early age，there is a good chance that you will too.Some people begin the graying process in high school，while others may be over the age of forty.

Constant worry and tension can have many harmful effects on the human body.It is a known fact that stressful times can cause one to suffer hair loss.It would make

sense that if it can cause these problems，perhaps it also may contribute to graying.However，there is no sound evidence to support this.

On the other hand，many medical professionals believe that there may be a link between graying and a constant state of anxiety or tension.Does stress cause gray hair？There is no scientific evidence to support the theory，but it is best to avoid stressful situations.

6．The underlined phrase in the first paragraph most probably means________.

A．clever remarks C．exciting remarks

B．silly remarks D．disappointed remarks

7．The second paragraph mainly tells us________.

A．every part of body is replaced with age B．hairs will grow weak but not die C．skin becomes wrinkled with age D．every part of body ages with age

8．What might play the most important role in the graying process?

A．Genetics and the amount of sleeping time.

B．The amount of food people eat and living environment. C．The amount of pigment and genetics.

D．Genetics and the amount of water people drink

9．According to the passage，continuous pressure may result in________.

A．a person’s fatness C．a person’s weight loss

B．a person’s fitness D．a person’s hair loss

10．From the passage we can infer that________.

A．stress causing gray hair is still in question B．gray hair has nothing to do with tension C．stressful situations can be of benefit D．sound evidence has been found

【语篇解读】 压力会导致头发变白吗？许多人相信情况是这样的。本文从年龄和基因两方面谈了头发变白的原因，持续的压力和忧虑对于身体是有害的，可导致脱发。但是，究竟压力和头发变白之间是否有联系，目前尚无定论。

6．B [词义猜测题。画线短语前面提到“Many people believe that tension and stress can cause your hair to lose its color”，即许多人相信紧张和压力导致头发褪色变白。短文接着谈到“In fact，it is...”，这是推测画线词意思的关键。因此an old wives’ tale意为“无稽之谈”。]

7

7．D [主旨大意题。第二段第一句话是该段的主题句。从中可以看出，人体的每一部分都会随着年龄的增长而衰老。]

8．C [细节理解题。本文第三段提到“At first，hairs will have a limited amount of pigment and they will appear to be grayish in color.In time，they will lose all of their pigment and will be white.Many things are known to cause graying，and genetics is a very powerful factor.”由此可以看出，色素和基因在头发变白的过程中起着重要的作用。]

9．D [细节理解题。本文倒数第二段提到“Constant worry and tension can have many harmful effects on the human body.It is a known fact that stressful times can cause one to suffer hair loss”。由此可知，持续的压力会导致脱发。]

10．A [推理判断题。本文倒数第二段最后提到“However，there is no sound evidence to support this.”最后一段也提到“There is no scientific evidence to support the theory...”。由此可知，是否压力会引起头发变白仍无定论。] III . 短文改错
