Baby Universes and Other Essays.CBlack Holes.DA Brief History of Time：From the Big Bang to Black Holes.解析：选D。细节理解题。依据第四段可知，霍金总共写了4本书，他的第一本书在1991年被拍成了电影。故选D项。2From the second paragraph，we can learn before his condition was diagnosed，Hawking_.Aheld an active attitude towards lifeBwas very bored with lifeChad always been valuing timeDwas interested in everything around解析：选B。推理推断题。依据其次段中的“The doctorsgrim prognosis made me determined to get the most from a life I had previously taken for granted and life was no longer boring for me.”可知霍金在此之前对生活的态度并不乐观，觉得生活没有意思。3According to Hawking，his disease_.Astopped him making greater achievementsBstopped him outweighing other famous scientistsCcaused him to focus all his attention on the researchDcaused him to lose the hope of life解析：选C。推理推断题。依据第三段的末句可知霍金认为正是由于他的疾病才使得他把精力放在他最终擅长的领域。4What would be the best title of the passage?AStephen Hawking and the universeBThe brief history of Stephen HawkingCA disabled person worked wondersDDisabled people dont lack mind power解析：选B。主旨大意题。文章中提到了霍金对于所争辩领域的选择，他何时患病，患病后的态度以及所取得的成就，只有B项能够概括这些。BI 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 teenage girl，and I couldnt 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.“Im 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 lamp post.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 wouldnt 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.【解题导语】本文主要叙述了作者作为一名盲人乘车的经受。由于不愿让别人知道自己是一个盲人，作者在生活中遇到了很多麻烦。5The girl refused to ask for help because she thought_.Ashe might be recognizedBasking for help looked sillyCshe was normal and independentDbeing found blind was embarrassing解析：选D。细节理解题。由文章第一句“I was blind，but I was ashamed of it if it was known.”可知作者认为被别人发觉自己是个盲人是很难为情的。6At the request stop that evening，the girl_.Astopped a big lorryBstopped the wrong busCmade no attempt to stop the busDwas not noticed by other people解析：选C。细节理解题。由最终一段中“I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one。”可知作者由于担忧推断错误，当晚并没有尝试着叫停公交车。7What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus?AOther vehicles also stopped there.BIt was unreliable for making judgments.CMore lorries than buses responded to the girl.DIt took too much time for the girl to catch the bus.解析：选B。细节理解题。由文中第三段“I tried to guess at the sound.Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away.”可知，依据声音来推断公交车的到来有时会失误。8Finally the girl decided to walk to the next stop，hoping_.Ato find people thereBto find more buses thereCto find the bus by herself thereDto find people more helpful there解析：选A。推理推断题。由于在这个站牌处没有等到车，也没有人可以求助，因此作者走向下一个站牌是期望可以在那里找到人。CAccording to a report，British people have the worst quality of life in Europe，because of the long hours，bad weather，low life expectancy(人均寿命) and high price of many consumer goods.In a study of ten of the largest European countries，Britain comes last followed by Ireland，with France and Spain topping the table.Though British households enjoy the highest income，at 35,730 a year，10,325 higher than the European average，British families have to deal with a high cost of living，with fuel，food and alcohol all costing more than the European average.With petrol at 1.08 a litre，the UK is the second most expensive country in Europe.However，diesel (柴油)is more expensive in the UK than anywhere else in Europe1.13 a litre.The report by price comparison website uSwitch showed Britain suffers from the lowest number of holidays per year，well below Spain and spends less than the European average on health and education.It also has the 4th lowest life expectancy in Europe，well behind France，Italy and Sweden and workers retire later than most European countries.The study came less than a week after the UN moved Britain out of the top 20 list of most desirable countries to live in for the first time.While France and Germany were initially hit hard by the global financial crisis，both have officially exited their recessions (衰退)，but Britain has yet to confirm that this has happened.Despite signs of recovery in the housing market，unemployment is predicted to have climbed to above 2.5 million for the first time since 1994.Ann Robinson，a researcher，said，“We earn actually more than our European neighbors，but this level of income is needed just to keep a roof over our heads，food on the table，and our homes warm.Its not helping us achieve the quality of life that people in other countries enjoy.”【解题导语】一项争辩显示，英国是欧洲生活质量最差的国家，这主要表现在工作时间长、天气恶劣、人均寿命短以及消费品价格昂贵等方面。 9What can you learn from the second paragraph?ABritish people earn the most money in the world.BAll British consumer goods are the most expensive.CPetrol is a little cheaper than diesel in the UK.DIt costs people most to live in Britain.解析：选C。细节理解题。依据其次段的With petrol at 1.08 a litre及diesel(柴油)is more expensive in the UK than anywhere else in Europe1.13 a litre.可知，在英国汽油比柴油廉价。10It can be inferred from the third paragraph that_.Aliving in Spain is more tiring than living in BritainBBritish people are less educated than ItaliansCthe French have the highest life expectancy of all EuropeansDBritain used to be on the top 20 list of most desirable countries to live in解析：选D。推理推断题。依据第三段最终一句可知，英国曾名列世界20大宜居国家排行榜之中。11After the global financial crisis，Britain seems to_.Ahave suffered the mostBhave recovered from the recessionChave the most buildings for saleDhave more people who are jobless解析：选D。细节理解题。依据第四段的unemployment is predicted to have climbed to above 2.5 million for the first time since 1994可知，英国的失业人口创下了1994年以来的新高，故选D。12Whats the main idea of the passage?ABritain has the worst quality of life in Europe.BBritish people enjoy the highest living standard.CBritain is no more a desirable country to live in.DBritain has fallen deep into economic recession.解析：选A。主旨大意题。通读全文可知，全篇都是围围着英国是欧洲生活质量最差的国家这一主题来开放。DLill was a young French Canadian girl who grew up in the farming community.At the age of 16，her father thought that she had enough schooling and forced her to drop out of school to contribute to the family income.In 1922，with limited education and skills，the future didnt look bright for Lill.Her father demanded that Lill find a job as soon as possible，but she didnt have the confidence to ask for a job.One day，Lill gathered her courage and knocked on her very first door.She was met by Margaret Costello，the office manager.In her broken English，Lill told her she was interested in the secretarial position.Margaret decided to give her a chance.Margaret sat her down at a typewriter and said，“Liu，lets see how good you really are.”She directed Lill to type a single letter，and then left.Lill looked at the clock and saw that it was 11：40 am.Everyone would be leaving for lunch at noon.She thought she should at least attempt the letter.On her first try，she got through one line but made four mistakes.She pulled the paper out and threw it away.The clock now read 11：45.“At noon，”she said to herself，“Ill move out with the crowd，and they will never see me again.”On her second attempt，things didnt get any better.Again she started over and finally completed the letter，full of mistakes，though.She looked at the clock: 11：55five minutes to freedom.Just then，Margaret walked in.She came directly over to Lill，and put one hand on the desk and the other on the girls shoulder.She read the letter and paused.Then she said，“Lill，youre doing good work！”Lill was surprised.She looked at the letter，then up at Margaret.With those simple words of encouragement，her desire to escape disappeared and her confidence began to grow.She thought，“Well，if she thinks its good，then it must be good.I think Ill stay！”Lill did stay at the Carhartt Overall Company for 51 years，through two world wars and 11 presidentsall because someone had the insight to give a shy and uncertain young girl the gift of selfconfidence when she knocked on the door.【解题导语】Lill 16岁被迫辍学，去找工作时她很不自信，而面试时一位经理的鼓舞使她重拾信念并打算留下来，而这一留就是51年。13When Lill applied for the job，she_.Acould speak good EnglishBdidnt know much about typingCknew Margaret very wellDnever wrote any letter解析：选B。推理推断题。依据第四、五段的内容可知，Lill打字总是出错，由此可推知，她对打字不是很了解，故选B。14Who does the underlined word “someone” in the last paragraph refer to?ALills father. BLill herself.CA president. DMargaret.解析：选D。代词指代题。通读全文可知，是Margaret在Lill求职时给了她机会和鼓舞。所以此处的“someone”应指Margaret。15What can we learn from Lills story?AEncouragement makes a difference.BHonesty is the best policy.CVirtue leads to success.DTime waits for no man.解析：选A。推理推断题。通读全文可知，从Lill的故事中我们可以了解到鼓舞会对一个人产生很大的影响，故选A。其次节(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分)依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。There is an English saying：“_16_” Until recently，few people took the saying seriously.Now，however，doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body._17_Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body.People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts，blood pressure，breathing and muscles.It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise._18_If laughter exercises the body，it must be beneficial.Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body.In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs.The group that tolerated(忍耐) the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program._19_20_They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing，making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.ALaughter can prolong ones life.BAs a result of these discoveries，some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics in which they help to improve their patients condition by encouraging them to laugh.CThe reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish both stress and pain.DIt increases blood pressure，the heart beating and breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face，the stomach and even the feet.EAlthough laughter helps cure the disease，doctors still can not put this theory into clinic practice.FLaughter is the best medicine.GThey have found that laughter really can improve peoples health.答案：1620.FGDCB其次部分：英语学问运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节：完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。My wife，Kathy and I moved with our twoyearold son，Nate，to a small native village in Alaska.The small three andfourpassenger plane we took so_21_our little boy that he took his favorite blanket and covered his head until we_22_on the small dirt landing strips(简易机场)During the months that followed，my son carried his security_23_everywhere.He couldnt fall asleep until he had it.The second year，I had a chance to guest speak in Seattle.While I was_24_for the trip，my son followed me around the room.Finetuning my speech in my mind，I was a little distracted (分心的)My son seemed most_25_about my having to fly out in bad weather on one of those small planes he_26_so much.I reassured (使放心) him that I would be_27_.When I got to the hotel in Seattle，I didnt have time to _28_until later that evening，and I was_29_when I opened my luggage and found my sons security blanket inside.I_30_my wife trying_31_to find the lost blanket as she prepared our son for_32_.I immediately_33_to the phone to call K
