Earlier that morning I accepted a job transfer(調(diào)動(dòng)) from our small town in pennsylvania to Orlando, Florida. My husband，F(xiàn)rank，and I felt it was the right decision. Our children have grown up and moved away from home，so we were ready for a change. But now I wasnt so sure. We would leave our friends，our church and our whole lives. Frank would be unemployed until he found a job there. We had to sell our house and find a new one! What had we got ourselves into?Then I fell asleep. In my dream，a name flashed before my eyes like a colourful light sign: Mary Clauser. I woke up suddenly. Mary and her husband, Lee，were our friends，who lived in an apartment in a neighbouring town. They visited us once years before. Still, I couldnt ignore what Id seen.I called her. “Hi，Mary! I want to let you know that were moving to Florida，” I said. Mary asked, “Does that mean youre selling your house？” “Yes.” “Great! Can I stop by tonight？” she asked. “Of course，” I said.Mary arrived that night and I showed her around. “Our home was originally built for a wounded soldier，” I told her. “It has wide doors and even a heated garage.” “I remember.” Mary said. Then she explained that Lee had become ill. He could no longer climb the stairs to their apartment and they needed a new place to live as soon as possible. Mary said, “I never told you that Lee grew up in this neighbourhood. His parents live less than a mile away，so theyd be able to help him when I am not in.”We had our buyer. And I had peace of mind.1We can learn from the first paragraph that _.A. the authors husband has found a new jobBthe author wanted to leave immediatelyCthe authors husband has leftDthe author felt very worried2The author thought of Mary Clauser when she _.Awas in her bedBwas in the backyardCthought about the pastDreceived the call3Mary Clauser decided to buy the authors house because _.Athe house met her needsBit was not very expensiveCit was convenient for Lee to look after his parentsDLees parents wheelchair could be let in very easily答案與解析：作者因?yàn)楣ぷ髡{(diào)動(dòng)，不得不出售她的房子。最終作者決定把房子賣給她的朋友Mary。1解析：根據(jù)第一段中的I sat in the armchair in the backyard, hoping for peace of mind以及后文提到的種種困難可知，作者感到很擔(dān)憂。答案：D2解析：從第一段可知作者躺在后院的扶手椅上，第二段說(shuō)到她坐在扶手椅迷迷糊糊地睡著了。在睡夢(mèng)中，Mary這個(gè)名字閃現(xiàn)在作者眼前，所以作者想到Mary時(shí)正在后院。答案：B3解析：根據(jù)第四段中的Our home was originally built for a wounded soldier和He could no longer climb the stairs to their apartment及His parents live less than a mile away, so theyd be able to help him when I am not in可知，這所房子符合Mary的要求。答案：AB(2013河南信陽(yáng)高二檢測(cè))In many cultures white is often associated with something positive. A whitecollar job, for instance, is the kind of job many people look for, working with your brain but not with your hands.White has a clean and pure image. That is why doctors, dentists and nurses usually wear white uniforms. Babies are dressed in white at baptisms(洗禮) and brides wear white wedding gowns at weddings. White in these cases is the symbol of innocence or purity. Sometimes white is used in expressions that are not good. “Whitewash” is one such expression. At first, “whitewash” meant painting over something with white paint to make it look better. However, it means something different today: hiding or covering up mistakes or failures.A “white elephant” is another example of white used in a negative way. In ancient Thailand, a white elephant was regarded as a sacred animal, but it was very expensive to keep. The kings of those days presented a white elephant to the people they wanted to ruin. Once they received this holy, royal animal as a gift, they were not allowed to sell or kill it. Today, a “white elephant” means something that is big, useless and unwanted. In America, when people want to get rid of their furniture or clothes, they often have a “white elephant sale”4The text is mainly about _.Athe meanings of white in English cultureBthe history of some English idiomsCsome interesting customs in English cultureDsome useful English words and expressions5Which expression has a historical background?AWhitewash.BWhitecollar.CWhite elephant.

The smells of food flew over from the kitchen. Mother was pulling out quilt(被子)after quilt from the boxes, proudly showing me their beauties. She was preparing for a quilt show at the Elmhurst Church. When we began to fold and put them back into the boxes, I noticed something at the bottom of one box. I pulled it out. “What is this？” I asked.“Oh？” Mom said, “Thats Mamas quilt.”I spread the quilt. It looked as if a group of school children had pieced it together: irregular designs, childish pictures, a crooked line on the right.“Grandmother made this？” I said, surprised. My grandmother was a master at making quilts. This certainly didnt look like any of the quilts she had made.“Yes, right before she died. I brought it home with me last year and made some changes，” she said. “Im still working on it. See, this is what Ive done so far.”I looked at it more closely. She had made straight a crooked line. At the centre of the quilt, she had stitched(縫)a piece of cloth with these words: “My mother made many quilts. She didnt get all lines straight. But I think this is beautiful. I want to see it finished. Her last quilt.”“Oh, this is so nice, Mom，” I said. It occurred to me that by completing my grandmothers quilt, my mother was honoring her own mother. I realized, too, that I held in my hands a family treasure. It started with the loving hands of one woman, and continued with the loving hands of another.8Why did the author go to her mothers home?ATo see her mothers quilts.BTo help prepare for a show.CTo get together for the family dinner.DTo discuss her grandmothers life.9The author was surprised because_.Athe quilt looked very strangeBher grandmother liked the quiltCthe quilt was the best she had seenDher mother had made some changes10The underlined word “crooked”in the passage most probably means_.Aunfinished BbrokenCbent Dunusual11Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?AA Quilt Show BMothers HomeCA Monday Dinner DGrandmothers Quilt答案與解析：8解析：細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。從文章第一段第一句可知答案。答案：C9解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第三段和第四段可以看出作者驚訝的原因。答案：A10解析：詞義猜測(cè)題。文章第六段又出現(xiàn)這個(gè)詞，從“She had made straight a crooked line.”可以看出crooked是“彎曲的”意思。答案：C11解析：主旨大意題。文章主要圍繞作者回母親家吃飯發(fā)現(xiàn)外祖母做的最后一床被子展開，所以選D項(xiàng)。答案：DDToday many people want adventure when they go on holiday; they want a challenge and excitement. But there are other more important elements (元素；因素) they look for in their holiday. The main one is that they want to have a sense of achievement from their holiday. That is why growing numbers of todays holidaymakers are turning to ecotourism.Travelers who choose ecotourism can contribute to the environment rather than destroy it; and there are more and more projects to choose from. In Antigua (安提瓜), guests help the endangered loggerhead turtles (海龜) by covering up their tracks against predators (天敵). In Boston, USA visitors work with the Museum of Science to create a Science Park. In Egypt, ecotourists join in a “Green Program” for planting trees, bushes and flowers.The most selfless ecotourism projects can be found in England. One organization offers tourists ecowork from 9: 00 a. m. to 5 : 00 pm. and warns them that, although the work is very rewarding, it can also be demanding! Holidaymakers choose from many different types of holiday: archaeological construction (repairing and rebuilding stone walls), outdoor conservation work and so on. Those who are lucky enough to find a place on holiday are involved in productive projects, such as clearing paths, preserving plants. Sometimes the work is heavy, like cutting down weeds and rebuilding stone walls. Its rewarding, though! One visitor was challenged to provide a stream crossing, to connect pathways on both sides. After several days hard effort and determination from her and the rest of the group, there was a footbridge in place which they were able to cross. At the end of a weeks holiday, they all stood on the bridge to have their photo taken above the stream. It was a great achievement, a break from the usual 95 routine, and a_big_“plus” for the environment. 12. According to the writer, what do people want during their adventure?A. enjoyment B. relaxationC. protection D. achievement 13. From the third paragraph we can learn that_.Apeople can be offered a job on their ecotourB. people who are offered ecowork are paid by the hourC. people feel it rewarding to join in ecotourism projectsD. people can find interesting ecotourism project only in England14. The underlined phrase “a big plus” means_.A. a great contribution B. great progressC. one great step D. a pleasant thing15. The following projects belong to ecotourism EXCEPT_.A. to build a little wood bridge which is convenient for touristsB. to help rebuild the damaged wallsC. to make some signs telling tourists how to protect animals and environmentD. to take a stone or a rare plant away as a reminder答案與解析：12解析：細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。從文中第一段中“The main one is that they want to have a sense of achievement from their holiday.”可知，人們想要在旅游中有所作為，對(duì)環(huán)境做出些什么。答案：D13解析：細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。從第三段文字“Sometimes the work is heavy，.Its rewarding，though！”可知答案。答案：C14解析：詞義猜測(cè)題。從文章第三段可知，人們?cè)诼糜芜^(guò)程中經(jīng)常會(huì)做一些有利于環(huán)?；蚺c自然界或游人有益的事情，并且事例中講述人們自己動(dòng)手做了一個(gè)footbridge，并認(rèn)為這是一個(gè)大的成果，因此選A。答案：A15解析：細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。答案：D第二節(jié)：(共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分)根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。Good studentteacher relationships result from the choices that are made even before school, and how those choices are carried out on a daily basis. Here are a few tips to make this process easier for both parties._16_For the teacher, this means that they need to look at each student from the perspective(角度) of what that student could learn, rather than what that student learned last week or last year. For the student, this means that they need to enter the classroom every day with the willingness to trust the teacher to help them understand. _17_ Every school day there are new opportunities to learn new information or to understand subjects that might have been difficult in the past._18_This is not to say that you have to “buy” the affections(關(guān)愛) of the student or the teacher，but you can give the gift of a smile，the gift of attention in class，or the gift of eye contact. Giving this type of gift always helps to build strong relationships.Demand the best._19_ We can trust friends to keep us responsible and when developing good studentteacher relationships，the same principle of trust applies. Setting high expectations always pushes us to be our best，and when both the student and the teacher are pushing the other for more depth, more wisdom(智慧), more insight(洞察力), etc，then both the student and the teacher will give more.To develop a good studentteacher relationship，both the student and the teacher must be willing to decide to do these things daily. Each day，they must be willing to try again and work on the relationship. _20_ABuy gifts for teachers.BFocus on the positive.CGive gifts to one another.DWe can always learn a lot from our teachers.EFuture learning is never limited by past experiences.F. Good relationships are always founded on honesty and high expectations.GThe most important thing is to trust the relationship to benefit each of the members.答案：1620BECFG第二部分英語(yǔ)知識(shí)運(yùn)用(共兩節(jié)，滿分45分)第一節(jié)：完形填空(共20小題；每小題1.5分，滿分30分)We all like to think that we are perfect to a fault. And whose fault is that? Not mine.Recently, my husband and I got up at the _21_ of 4 am. to catch an early _22_ to New York. We were extremely _23_ , perhaps because we were sleepwalking. And we were all ready when the taxi came to _24_ us 45 minutes later.It was a quiet _25_ to the airport. We didnt even chat, because he was enjoying his new iPod. At the airport, the taxi _26_ to let us get off, at which point iPod guy _27_ me and said, “We dont have our _28_.”“Youre _29_， right？” I replied, for he _30_ lies like that.“No. I mean it. Did you bring it down? I didnt.”“What do you mean, you didnt？” I shouted. “All our things are there.”How _31_！ I was thinking, youre always _32_ to do things like bringing down luggage. This is your fault, _33_ now, we may _34_ our flight. I didnt say that out loud, _35_. He already knew how I felt.The experience showed I had a hard time accepting _36_. But what do you think of me? Psychologists(心理學(xué)家)think that the best way to evaluate ourselves is _37_ the eyes of others. We often dont recognize when weve done wrong.Oh, and that missing suitcase? We went home _38_in the taxi, picked it up, returned to the airport and made it through with minutes to _39_.Later, while walking along Broadway, I noted how _40_ I was. I hadnt said a thing about his forgetting our suitcase at home.21. A. point B. hour C. strike D. times22. A. bus B. train C. flight D. taxi23. A. surprised B. excited C. calm D. disappointed24.

A. proud B. sorry C. wise D. funny答案與解析21解析：根據(jù)下文的“sleepwalking”可知他們還沒有睡醒，由此判斷時(shí)間是在凌晨四點(diǎn)鐘，hour指“小時(shí)”，符合句意。point應(yīng)該與介詞on搭配；strike表示“敲鐘”；times指“次數(shù)”。答案：B22解析：從下文第七段的“our flight”可知，他們是要乘坐飛機(jī)去紐約。答案：C23解析：由下文的“we were sleepwalking”和“It was a quiet.”可知，此時(shí)兩人的心情非常平靜。因此選C項(xiàng)。答案：C24解析：動(dòng)詞pick與up構(gòu)成短語(yǔ)才有“開車接某人”之意；fetch是“去拿來(lái)”；draw是指“拖，拉”，均與語(yǔ)境不符。只有collect有“去取，接”之意。答案：A25解析：drive作名詞用時(shí)，一般指自己駕車；experience“經(jīng)歷”；travel“長(zhǎng)途旅行”都與語(yǔ)境不符；ride指乘車的短途旅程。此處指乘出租車到機(jī)場(chǎng)的這段路程。答案：D26解析：動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)pull in指“車進(jìn)站或者開到路邊停下”；push in指“插隊(duì)”；hurry in指“趕快進(jìn)來(lái)”；drag in指“把扯進(jìn)來(lái)”。由“the taxi”可知，此處選A項(xiàng)。答案：A27解析：turn to“轉(zhuǎn)向”；turn up“出現(xiàn)”；turn against“轉(zhuǎn)而反對(duì)”；turn away“把打發(fā)走”。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知，此處應(yīng)為：丈夫向我轉(zhuǎn)過(guò)身。答案：A28解析：根據(jù)后面的“all our things are there”，可排除C項(xiàng)和D項(xiàng)；briefcase“公文包”，也不符合語(yǔ)境，所以答案選B項(xiàng)。同時(shí)倒數(shù)第二段的“suitcase”是原詞復(fù)現(xiàn)。答案：B29解析：A和B項(xiàng)均與上下文語(yǔ)境不符；cheat一般指考試作弊或者欺騙。通過(guò)上下文，此處應(yīng)該表示“你在開玩笑吧”之意。答案：C30解析：因?yàn)樗偸菒坶_玩笑，所以她才認(rèn)為他說(shuō)的不是真的。答案：B31解析：此處作者在推卸自己的責(zé)任，說(shuō)丈夫“很蠢”，意思是“他不應(yīng)該把行李忘在家里”。答案：B32解析：根據(jù)上文可知，作者認(rèn)為她的丈夫應(yīng)主動(dòng)去搬行李，因此本句話的意思是：搬行李這樣的事一直應(yīng)當(dāng)由你做。be supposed to do “被期望應(yīng)該做某事”。答案：D33解析：根據(jù)上下文的語(yǔ)意判斷，前后兩句話之間是遞進(jìn)關(guān)系。答案：A34解析：既然回去拿行李是要耽擱時(shí)間的，所以很可能會(huì)錯(cuò)過(guò)他們要乘坐的班機(jī)。答案：D35解析：上面幾句都是在責(zé)怪丈夫，本句卻說(shuō)沒有大聲說(shuō)出來(lái)，上下文之間有轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，因此應(yīng)選though。答案：C36解析：此處指作者通過(guò)上面這件事，說(shuō)明自己很難接受那是自己的錯(cuò)，不能勇敢地承擔(dān)起應(yīng)該承擔(dān)的責(zé)任。答案：C37解析：本句話的意思是說(shuō)“評(píng)價(jià)自己的最好方式是通過(guò)別人的眼睛”。介詞through表示“通過(guò)方式”。答案：B38解析：由下文可知，他們回家拿了行李包再次趕到機(jī)場(chǎng)，還是趕上了飛機(jī)，所以他們應(yīng)該是乘坐出租車匆匆忙忙回家的。答案：D39解析：動(dòng)詞spare表示“能夠騰出來(lái)的時(shí)間”。如果是leave應(yīng)該是用過(guò)去分詞形式，并且前面不應(yīng)該有to；選項(xiàng)B、D語(yǔ)義不通。答案：A40解析：作者并沒有因此事而埋怨她的丈夫，所以作者應(yīng)該是為自己的做法感到十分自豪。答案：A第二節(jié)(共10小題；每小題1.5分，滿分15分)閱讀下列材料，在空白處填入適當(dāng)?shù)膬?nèi)容(不多于3個(gè)單詞)或括號(hào)內(nèi)單詞的正確形式。Alice：Hi, Peter! I saw you on the 7 oclock news last night.Peter：Oh, yeah.Alice：So tell us what happened?Peter：I _41_(walk) alone on the beach when I heard someone _42_(call) out for help. I looked up and there on the headland was a little kid. He had climbed up the cliff(懸崖) and was stuck.Alice：What did you do then?Peter：My first thought was to run and get help, but the boy was crying. He looked as though he would fall at _43_ moment. So I climbed up to get him down. The rocks were very loose, and I almost _44_(slip) a couple of times. I was beginning to think _45_ wasnt a good idea to climb up there alone and that I _46_(get) help first. Then I re
