correct

77.a→the.考查冠词。此处特指战胜霍乱的挑战，用the。
78.controlled前加be.考查被动语态。此处指霍乱将会被控制，是情态动词的被动。情态动词+be+过去分词，故controlled前加be.
79.去掉how前的that.考查宾语从句。此处指解释霍乱是怎样害死人的，explained后是宾语从句根据句意由how引导，故去掉how前的that.
80.correctly→correct.考查形容词。句中prove是系动词后面用形容词做表语，故correctly→correct.

Dear Sir,
I’m writing to you for the mobile phone I bought it on 20th April. Ten day after that, it didn’t ring and send short messages. Then I took it to the seller, but was told that the model had sold out and I had no choice but to waiting for at least 3 months for a new one. Later, I went to the repairman. He said since it was a new model in China, it was impossible to fix it with the right spare parts. I was so desperately on hearing that. How could I wait such long? Therefore, I require that you sent me a new one of a same model within a month.
Thank you for your consideration.
Yours sincerely

三、 阅读理解
21. What makes a house a home?
Not size，of course.I've been in some of the grandest houses in America，and it's clear that no one lives there.Earlier this year，I had dinner in a mud hut in Ethiopia，where we sat on chairs next to the hostess' bed—a home that had more warmth than any house I've been in since.
Now John Edwards is exploring what makes a house a home in his just-released(发行)Home.The Blueprints of Our Lives.There Edwards writes，“This isn't a book about houses；it's a book about homes.About the values they rest on，the dreams they are filled with，and the people they have shaped.”Edwards writes，“The houses and circumstances are different，but much of what you find inside will be familiar.”
Whether you're sitting in an airport right now，waiting to fly to your childhood home for Thanksgiving，or in your own home waiting for the s to arrive，you know what he's talking about.
We've lived in our townhouse for 21 years.It's home now.The loose windows that shake in the wind.The fireplace so shallow it holds only one log.The kitchen window that offers a view of the world passing by.It's where friends sit on the kitchen counter drinking wine while dinner is being fixed.I lived there for only 18 years，but it will always be my true home.Even the lamp in the west living room window，which I could see far down the road when driving home late at night，still shines.
While all this talk about childhood memories can be warm and comforting，home is whom you're with，not where you are.As Edwards writes，“Home is family.Home is safety.Home is faith.”
Happy homecoming.
41．According to the author，what makes a house a home?
A．All the belongings in the house.   B．Feelings of warmth and comfort.
C．The houses and circumstances.   D．Drinking with friends on the kitchen counter.
42．About the book Home: The Blueprints of Our Lives，we know that ________.
A．it helps us understand the concept(概念)of home
B．it is mainly about houses
C．it was the description of Edwards' houses
D．it was written by the author of the text
43．What did the author mean when he mentioned the loose windows and the shallow fireplace?
A．His house was too old to live in.     B．He missed the feeling of home.
C．He hated living there.             D．He missed his old friends too much.

22. You may complain that there are too many tests on the way to college entrance, but an increasing number of students want to take one more. That is the Scholastic Aptitude Test, or SAT, an American test for students who intend to apply for college admission.
Chen Huanlu, aged 18, from Shandong Province took part in the SAT subject tests （SAT 2） in Hong Kong on June 2. She has also been scheduled to take the SAT reasoning test （SAT 1） in October.
“I hope to study environmental engineering at an American university, where I may have more opportunities to get cutting-edge （前沿的） knowledge in this area,” said Chen.
However, not all SAT test takers want to apply to American universities.
“I wanted to see how I would do when faced with plenty of stress and also to evaluate （测评） my scholastic level by an American standard. The SATs made my school life more diverse,” said Senior 2 student Zhou Yuxiang from Sichuan Province.
Zhou, aged 17, a top student in his school, was inspired by some of his friends. They have taken this test and been admitted to American universities, including Harvard and Yale. Last winter vacation he took a 20-day SAT course at Chengdu New Oriental School.
“As I prepared for the test in the following months, I was forced to balance my everyday schedule better. Fortunately I was optimistic enough to have undergone the most difficult time,” he said.
In May and June, Zhou flew alone to Hong Kong to sit for the SAT1 and SAT2.
“They are both the standards which have been set for us to reach. What we should do more sensibly is to try harder to prepare for them. Survival of the fittest （适者生存） is true both in America and in China. That is something I have learnt beyond the SAT itself,” he said.
1.  The SAT is a test designed mainly for _________.
A. Chinese students who want to go to college in America
B. American students who intend to apply for college admission in China
C. students who plan to apply for American universities
D. students who want to learn about the survival of the fittest
2.  What can we learn about Chen Huanlu according to this passage?
A. She doesn’t like the college entrance examination in China.
B. She has taken part in both SAT 1 and SAT 2 in June.
C. She is interested in environmental issues.
D. She wants to get cutting-edge knowledge from SATs.
3.  By taking Zhou Yuxiang for example, the author wants to tell us that ________.
A. all the students who take SATs intend to apply to American universities
B. some SAT takers simply regard the SAT as a challenge
C. he just takes the test for fun
D. SAT 1 and SAT 2 have something in common
4.  What do Chen Huanlu and Zhou Yuxiang have in common?
A. They both took part in the SAT subject tests in Hong Kong.
B. They are both students of Senior 2.
C. Both of them attended a SAT course at New Oriental School.
D. Both of them came from the top schools.
参考答案：
1.C 2.C 3.B 4.A
试题分析：文章讲述了SAT考试在学生生涯中的各种意义。
1.C 细节理解题。根据SAT, an American test for students who intend to apply for college admission.可知SAT是美国学生申请上大学的考试，故选C。

【名师点睛】
关于细节理解题
用细节定位法：细节理解题属直接解答性问题，是阅读理解题中最简单的一种，多数属中低难度的送分题。但由于高考所占的比例很大，应特别引起注意。事实和细节题的命题特点是：把某词语、某个句子或某具体事实用不同于原文的另一方式或句型表达，即同义改写。解答这类题的窍门是：A）注意掌握英语的多种表达法；B）正确分析词语在句中的作用；C）熟练运用英语的句型转换；D）读懂题干所提出的问题，并准确地找到文中涉及该问题的句子。
