小題1:WhatdoesLowstilldoattheageof90attheCNIB?(nomorethan10words)

小題2:WhydidLowlearnBraille?(nomorethan15words)

小題3:whatdoestheunderlinedword“strenuous”mostprobablymean?(1word)

小題4:WhatareLow’scontributionstotheCNIB?(nomorethan10words)

小題5:WhatdoyouthinkofLow?Giveyourreasons.(nomorethan20words)答案：小題1:ShehelpstransformliteratureintoBraille(forblindreaders/theblind).小題2:(Because)hermother’seyesbegantofailandsheheardan/theadvertisement.小題3:Difficult/Hard/tiring/tough.小題4:Shehasbrailledandproofreadhundredsofbooks,andreadbooksintoontotape.小題5:LowiskindandhelpfulbecauseshehasdevotedmuchtimetotranscribingbooksintoBrailleasavolunteer.Or:Lowiskind-heartedladywithapositiveattitudetowardlifebecauseshetakesdelightinhelpingothers.解析：【文章大意】DorisLow到去年12月份就90歲了。但是她從事志愿者活動已經有40年了。她的工作是把故事和知識傳播給盲人讀者通過吧文學作品翻譯成布萊葉盲文。有時還要讀錄成磁帶。三年前她又從事校對工作。這個工作很辛苦，但是她喜歡。小題1:根據(jù)文章第一段第二句話可知，Low現(xiàn)在90歲仍然在CNIB從事幫助把文學作品翻譯成布萊葉盲文的工作。所以回答ShehelpstransformliteratureintoBraille(forblindreaders/theblind).小題2:根據(jù)文章第三段可知，因為她的媽媽喜歡閱讀，但是她的視力變差了，而她也聽到了一則鼓勵人們學習布萊葉盲文的廣告。所以回答(Because)hermother’seyesbegantofailandsheheardan/theadvertisement.小題3:第四段開頭，破折號是對畫線的詞strenuous的解釋，都做到最后了，因為一個錯誤就必須從新做。所以strenuous的同義詞是Difficult/Hard/tiring/tough.（很累、很難。）小題4:第五段介紹了Low對CNIB的貢獻：把很多書翻譯成了布萊葉盲文、校對了數(shù)百本書籍還讀書錄成磁帶。所以回答Shehasbrailledandproofreadhundredsofbooks,andreadbooksintoontotape.小題5:Low是一個善良的人，她幫助盲人讀書。所以回答LowiskindandhelpfulbecauseshehasdevotedmuchtimetotranscribingbooksintoBrailleasavolunteer.Or:Lowiskind-heartedladywithapositiveattitudetowardlifebecauseshetakesdelightinhelpingothers.2.Youaresupposed________theworkyesterdaybutyouforgot.

D.peoplewithpetsshouldbestayedathome答案：56.D57.D58.B59.A60.C解析：56.根據(jù)Wehavemettheenemy,andheisours.Weboughthimatapetshop.Whenmonkey-pox,adiseaseusuallyfoundintheAfricanrainforest,suddenlyturnsupinchildrenintheAmericanMidwest,it’shardnottowonderifthediseasethatcomesfromforeignanimalsishominginonhumanbeings.可推斷，從寵物商店購買的動物身上攜帶疾病。57.根據(jù)AstrangeillnesskilledIsaksen’spets,andshenowthinksthatkeepingforeignpetsisabadidea.“Idon’tthinkit’sfairtohavethemaspetswhenwehavesuchalimitedknowledgeofthem”可判斷。58.根據(jù)上文，猴痘是一種從非洲的動物身上傳播到人類身上的疾病，緊接著作者說這種沒有經過嚴格控制的法律需要改變。最后又以猴痘為例，由此可判斷“thewake-upcall”表示“一種警示”。59.根據(jù)Weknowverylittleaboutthesenewdiseases.Anewbug(病毒)maybekindatfirst.Butitmaydevelopintosomethingharmful(有害的).可知“新的病毒會轉化成有害的東西”，最后導致人與人的傳播，因此我們必須與病毒作斗爭。60.最后一段大意：我們必須改變不檢疫而引進野生動物的規(guī)定，才能避免疾病的傳播?！緲撕灐匡曫B(yǎng)寵物與人類健康13._______oneofyoubreaksthewindowwillhavetopayforit.A．WhoeverB．WhateverC．WhicheverD．Wherever.答案：C解析：句意為：你們當中無論哪個損壞了窗子都將得賠償。根據(jù)題干中“…oneofyoubreaksthewindow”可知主語從句內主語不完整，而且指人的主語“…oneofyou”有范圍限定。所以該用一個起形容詞作用的詞。若題干改為“_______breaksthewindowwillhavetopayforit.”，則應用whoever.【考點定位】主語從句和引導詞的綜合考查

who/whoever（誰/無論誰），指人，無限定范圍；what/whatever（什么/無論什么），指物，無限定范圍；which/whichever(哪個/無論哪個)，即指人又指物，有限定范圍。whichever的意思“……的那個人或事物”，在意義上大致相當于thepersonorthethingthat。如：Youcanpickwhicheveroneyoulike.你喜歡哪個就挑哪個。

Whicheverofyoucomesfirstwillreceiveaprize.你們誰第一誰就能得獎。

We’lleatatwhicheverrestauranthasafreetable.哪個飯館有空桌我們就在哪兒吃吧。

Whicheverofusgetshomefirststartscooking.我們當中無論哪個先到家，哪個就先開始做飯。14.—Doyoulikethematerial?

B.strongthan

C.sostrongthan

D.strongerthan答案：D17.Hisabilityisneverindoubtthequestionis_______heispreparedtoworkhard.A．whetherB．ifC．thatD．where答案：A解析：考查名詞性從句。句意：他的能力是不容置疑的——問題是他是否準備努力工作。if不可引導表語從句。18.用詞組的適當形式填空。答案：1.gettingalongwith

D.bothAandB答案：1-4ABDD解析：1.A

本題考查理解文章主旨大意的能力。由第一段第一句“Inmanyways,oursocietydoesn’tsimplyprepareforthekindsoflivesthattheelderlymustlead.”及文章內容可知，全文談的是我們在對待老人方面做得很不夠。因此A項正確。2.B

本題考查根據(jù)短文相關內容進行推理判斷的能力。由文章第一段“Inmanyways,oursocietydoesn’tsimplyprepareforthekindsoflivesthattheelderlymustlead.Wehavemademedicaladvancesthatallowpeopletolivelongerthaneverbefore,butwedonotseemtoknowwhattodowiththemafterwehavesavedtheirlives.”可以判斷選項B正確的。3.D

本題考查理解文章細節(jié)信息的能力。文中第二段結尾“Evenpeoplewhoareentrusting(委托)aparenttothecareofahomerarelyaskaboutthenurse-parentratio,aboutthekindsofcreativefacilitiesorphysicaltherapyequipmentavailable,orevenaboutthefrequencyofdoctor’svisits.”這是作者對人們的批評，由此可以判斷選項D正確。4.D

本題考查根據(jù)短文相關內容判斷作者的觀點態(tài)度的能力。由第二段“Evenpeople…rarelyaskaboutthenurse-parentratio,aboutthekindsofcreativefacilitiesorphysicaltherapyequipmentavailable,orevenaboutthefrequencyofdoctors’visits.”可以判斷選項A和B是正確的；選項C在文章中沒有提到.36.第二節(jié)完形填空（共20小題；每小題1.5，滿分30分）

閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）出可以填入空白的最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
