第1题：
When I first knew Mike, we lived in a small village in Scotland. It was very different from Mike’s life in London now. We went to school together on our bicycles. Every morning I went to his house and knocked on the door. Every morning Mike’s mum said, “I’m sorry, he’s a bit late this morning”, and so I had to wait. Each day we were late for school, and I remember the teacher got very annoyed with us. I never told her we were late because of Mike. Now, 25 years later, I play tennis with Mike. I usually drive him to the tennis club. I go to his flat and he opens the door and says, “I’m sorry. I’m a bit late today.” The only reason he wasn’t late for his own wedding is that we lied to him about the time! As boys we spent a lot of time out exploring on our bikes. We went walking and fishing. I didn’t like fishing because I couldn’t swim. Probably the funniest thing we did was when we stole a bottle of whiskey from my Dad. We cycled about 5 miles away to drink it in one of our favorite places. When we finished drinking it, we couldn’t cycle back – it was a long, slow walk. I’m sure we looked awful. We still do, when we come back from the pub on Friday nights. Nothing’s changed really. Oh, and I still can’t swim.
1.Mike now lives in __________.
A.a village in Scotland
B.a village near London
C.London
2.__________ got up late every morning.

第二篇
I was blind,but I was ashamed of it if it was known.I refused to use a white stick and hated asking for help.After all,I was a teenager girl,and I couldn't bear people to look at me and think I was not like them. I must have been a terrible danger on the roads,coming across me wandering through the traffic,motorists probably would have to step rapidly on their brakes.Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.
One evening,I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses,and as usual I ran into something."I'm awfully sorry,"I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time,I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost. This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me.So I carried on and found the bus stop,which was a request stop,where the bus wouldn't stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had arrived.
Generally in this situation,because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help,I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away.In the end,I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.
But on this particular evening no one joined me at the stop;It seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus.Of course I heard plenty of buses pass,or I thought I did.But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself,I let them all go by.I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one.Then I gave up.I decided to walk on to the next stop.After the girl got off the bus that evening,she________.
A:began to run
B:hit a person as usual
C:hit a lamppost by accident
D: was caught by something答案：C解析：本文第一句提到：“I was blind , but I was ashamed of it if it is known.”我是盲人，但我羞于让人知道这一点。说明她认为被人发现是盲人会很难为情。所以选D项。
由第二段第三句“When it happened a third time , I realized I had been 叩ologizing to a lamppost.”可知她不小心撞到了电线杆上。所以选C项。
根据最后一段可知，她因害怕拦错车使自己难堪，所以放弃拦车。故选 C项。
根据第三段的“I tried to guess at the sound.Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away.”和第四段的“But because I had given up stop-ping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by”可知，根据声音来判断车辆是不可靠的。故选B项。
从“I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself。”可知，她本人不想拦车了，又根据“manage to swallow my pride and ask for someone at the stop for help”, 她决定找人帮忙了，但本站没有人，去下一站当然是希望在那里可以找到人帮忙。 -

Time is very important in our lives.It organizes our everyday moments.However,time never had any importance in my life until I received a watch from my father that organized my life and made me more responsible.
It came from Denmark to the U.A.E.jewelry shop in a gray box.It weighs 0.24 kilograms. It's round in the center with two silver bands that go around my wrist.And all of it is made of silver. This object tells me the importance of time in my life.
I received this gift on a gray-sky day.I had to go to the airport at 9:00 AM to pick up my uncle Aui and take him to my father's house.However,I was late because I was hanging out with my friends.Later on that day,around 11:00 AM,I remembered my uncle,but I was very late for him. He had left the airport and taken a taxi to my father's house.
I got to my father's house at 2:00 PM on the same day and looked at my angry father's face.I felt ashamed of myself at that moment.After I said hi to my angry father and tired uncle,my father asked me to sit next to him where he handed me this watch which was a gift from him.Then he said,"Essa,did you have fun with your friends today?"I answered, "Yes,father,and I'm sorry about not picking up my uncle Ali."He said,"What you did was not very nice and you should be sorry for your actions."I was ashamed and said,"Father,I'll never do it again.I promise."He said,"I hope today you learned something important,and this watch will be a reminder for you." He told me to take this watch and use it as an organizer of my life.
I learned a very important lesson from my father:to respect time and never be late to get someone.This watch is important to me,not because of its price,but because of the lesson that I learned from it.I was too late to pick up my uncle at the airport because I had to finish some schoolwork.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned答案：B解析：根据是文中第一段第三句话：但是，以前时间在我的生命中并不重要，直到我从父亲那里收到一块手表，这块手表帮助我安排我的生活而且使我变得更加有责任感。
根据是第二段第一句：这块丹麦制造的手表装在一只灰色盒子里，是在阿拉伯联合酋长国的一家珠宝首饰店买的。
第三段第三句：可是因为和朋友们出去玩，我迟到了。可见作者不是因为做作业而迟到。
根据是第四段第二句：那一刻我感到很惭愧。
文中对此没有提到。
依据是第四段最后一句：他让我拿走这块手表，用它来安排自己的生活。
依据是最后一段最后一句：这块手表对我来说很重要，不是因为它价格昂贵，而是因为我从中学习到的这个道理。 -

第21题：
问答题Passage 6 Though every morning I queue(排队) (Example: 0 ) the bus stop very early, I am often 1 for school. The reason is that there are 2 buses for all the people who queue up at the stop, and the buses often arrive there late. 3 the timetable, there should be a bus 4 fifteen minutes, but one often has to wait 5 hour for a bus to arrive. By the time the bus arrives, 6 so many people in the queue that those near the 7 can’t get on the bus and 8 to wait for another thirty minutes before the 9 bus arrives. I wish the bus 10 would put more buses on.例：0. A. of B. at C. on【答案】B1. A. early B. late C. on time2. A. too few B. quite a few C. quite a lot3. A. Instead of B. According to C. Because of4. A. other B. another C. every5. A. half an B. half a C. half of6. A. there are B. they are C. there have7. A. stop B. bus C. end8. A. has B. have C. had9. A.last B. other C. next10. A. station B. driver C. company正确答案： 1.B 考查形容词搭配和上下文理解。am是个系动词,其后要接形容词作表语。由句子开头表让步关系的though(尽管)可知,主句应与在正常情况下从句情况的结果(即早到学校)相反,故选late。be late for school意为“上学迟到”。而on time为副词词组,故不能填入题中。
2.A 考查上下文理解。由前一句指出的“迟到”以及本句的句意可知,应选含否定义的too few(太少)。其余两项都是肯定义,quite a few/lot意为“很多,相当多”。
3.B 考查介词固定搭配辨义和上下文理解。由空格后的there should be a bus... (公交车本应当15分钟一趟)可知,此处指的是“按照或根据时刻表(来看)”,故选according to(按照,根据)。instead of意为“代替,而不是”。because of意为“因为,由于”。
4.C 考查限定词用法。指汽车、火车、航班等的时间间隔用“every+时间段”,此时every指“每(隔)多长时间”。其余两项都没有这种用法。other指不定范围内的“其他的”。another指二者中的“另一(个)”。
5.A 考查名词的惯用法。half an hour意为“半个小时”,其中的冠词用an,是因为hour的发音是以元音开头。
6.A 考查there be句型。很显然,这里指的是“有很多的人”,因此填入there are。其余两项中,B项中的主语they不知所指。而C项属于搭配错误,have本身即含“有”义,不与there连用。
7.C 考查名词辨义和上下文理解。由常识可知,应当是那些站在队伍后面的人挤不上车,故此处应选end(末尾)。
8.B 考查主谓一致。本题既考查时态上的前后一致性,又考查主谓之间数的一致性。分析句子结构不难看出,此处填入动词的主语仍是前面的those(near the end),是复数,故谓语动词也要用复数形式。而短文通篇用的都是一般现在时态(说明的是一种经常性的情况),故此处也要用一般现在时态,故B项为正确答案。
9.C 考查形容词辨义和上下文理解。由上下文可知,此处指的是“等下一趟车”,故应填入next(下次的,下一个的)。其余两项在意义上都不符合本题:last意为“最后的”。other意为“其他的”(其后接可数名词复数)。
10.C 考查名词辨义和上下文理解。由空格后的put more buses on(增加更多的公共汽车)以及常识可知,这属于对公交公司的期待,而车站(station)或司机(driver)是没有权力这样做的,故应选company(公司)。解析： 暂无解析 -

填空题If I (be) ____ you, I wouldn’t miss the job interview tomorrow morning.正确答案： were解析：
本题考查虚拟语气。句意：如果我是你的话，我就不会错过明早的面试。说话人的假设与现在事实相反时，虚拟语气条件句的谓语要用过去时；说话人的假设与过去事实相反时，虚拟语气条件句的谓语用过去完成时。本题中，if引导的条件从句是对现在事实的假设，所以要用过去式。be动词应使用were。
