【解題導(dǎo)語】 作者幫助一只被卡住的鴿子從欄桿中間脫身出來,由此得到一些啟示:困住鴿子的欄桿就好像是生活中的障礙,我們不停地掙扎直到筋疲力盡。有時(shí)候來自朋友的一點(diǎn)幫助或者正確指引能夠幫助我們獲得解脫。
1.A.observe B.feed
C.draw
D.catch
解析:選B。根據(jù)文章首句可知,作者住在公寓里, 不讓在屋里養(yǎng)寵物,所以他只能在陽臺(tái)上喂養(yǎng)鳥,下文“As I put the usual seeds out...”也給予了提示。
2.A.visits
B.a(chǎn)ttacks
C.calls
D.welcomes
解析:選A。根據(jù)下文“...from some sparrows or magpies coming from the outside.”可知,到了夏天,還會(huì)有從外面來的麻雀或者喜鵲飛到他的陽臺(tái)上,即有其他鳥經(jīng)常光顧他家。
3.A.reflection
B.treatment
C.experiment
D.exercise

B.wake
C.struggle
D.breathe
解析:選C。根據(jù)下文“...he got more frantic(狂亂的).I comforted him and told him not to move.”可知,當(dāng)作者走到陽臺(tái)上去查看時(shí),這只鳥開始掙扎。
7.A.unconscious
B.sleepy
C.exhausted
D.drunk
解析:選C。根據(jù)下文“...from the effort of trying to free himself.”及最后一段“...we struggle against them till we are exhausted.”可知,此處說的是:這只鳥是因?yàn)閽暝朊撋矶鄣媒钇AΡM。

解析:選B。根據(jù)上文可知,作者告訴這只鳥不要掙扎,它就不動(dòng)了,或許是它害怕了,但是作者更愿意相信是鳥兒能夠感應(yīng)到作者的意圖,知道他不會(huì)傷害自己才乖乖聽話的。
11.A.curiously
B.bravely
C.quickly
D.gently
解析:選D。根據(jù)上文描述作者對(duì)鳥兒的安撫和他對(duì)鳥兒的喜愛,此處應(yīng)該是:作者輕輕地把手放到鳥兒下邊把它托起,讓它從欄桿中解脫出來。
12.A.surprised
B.a(chǎn)mused
C.watched
D.thanked
解析:選C。根據(jù)下文“...with joy and maybe appreciation in his eyes...”可知,鳥兒飛回來,眼中含著喜悅地看著作者,眼神中仿佛也帶著感激。
13.A.worries
B.wonders
C.opportunities
D.barriers
解析:選D。根據(jù)下文“l(fā)ike the railings holding the pigeon back”可知,生活中也充滿了像困住鴿子的欄桿那樣的障礙。

第二節(jié) 語法填空(共10小題;每小題1.5分,滿分15分)

16.解析:考查動(dòng)詞的被動(dòng)式。因?yàn)橹髡Z與謂語動(dòng)詞offer之間存在著被動(dòng)關(guān)系,且事情發(fā)生在過去,故填were offered。
答案:were offered
17.解析:考查代詞。根據(jù)上文中的a few可知,此處應(yīng)使用不定代詞some。
答案:some
18.解析:考查詞形變化。修飾名詞winter應(yīng)使用名詞wind的形容詞形式windy。
答案:windy
19.解析:考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。本句已有謂語動(dòng)詞were,且police officers與動(dòng)詞direct之間存在著邏輯上的主動(dòng)關(guān)系,故填directing。
答案:directing
20.解析:考查it的特殊用法。本句中的it為形式主語,真正的主語為to have to be outside...。
答案:it
21.解析:考查介詞。in the cold表示“在嚴(yán)寒中”。
答案:in
22.解析:考查限制性定語從句的關(guān)系詞。因先行詞前有all修飾,故使用關(guān)系代詞that引導(dǎo)從句。
答案:that
23.解析:考查詞形變化。It was amazing that...表示“令人驚訝的是……”。
答案:amazing
24.解析:考查冠詞。由句意“你是一位善良漂亮的女士”可知,此處應(yīng)使用表泛指的不定冠詞。
答案:a
25.解析:考查限制性定語從句的關(guān)系詞。根據(jù)句意“這就是我們高興的原因”。因?yàn)閒or which=why,故此處應(yīng)填關(guān)系代詞which。
答案:which
Ⅱ.閱讀(共兩節(jié),滿分50分)
第一節(jié) 閱讀理解(共20小題;每小題2分,滿分40分)
閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A、B、C和D項(xiàng)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
A
I was hungry because after a full day of exploring the German town,I hadn’t eaten anything more than a pizza.I’m comfortable traveling through a country where I don’t speak the language,but I would almost rather go hungry than sit in a restaurant eating alone.
After wandering around the town for another half an hour,I finally chose an Italian restaurant that seemed friendly enough.I know I should have gone for more traditional German food,but the idea of a plate of Italian noodles for only six euros was too much to pass up.So I nervously entered.As I stood there,I noticed all the happy families and friends eating together.The hostess found a small table for me next to the front entrance.
“Great,” I thought,“now people can look at this friendless traveler as they enter.” Then I started to wonder how many of the customers might mistake me for the hostess and how much this would interrupt (打斷)my meal.Then a woman,whose name is now lost to memory,invited me to have dinner with her and her family.I couldn’t believe it!This was the German friendliness I had read about.
I walked to their table.I can be quite shy when talking to new people.I also started to wonder how this would work.Do I have to talk to them the whole time?Do they even know English?The meal began awkwardly.The woman’s two children mostly stared at me.
Fortunately the parents spoke enough English and I knew a little German.I came into this restaurant afraid of eating alone and I ended up conquering my shyness.Separate bills came for each of us;we paid and went our own ways.The family probably ended up discussing their day while I just walked back to my hotel with a smile on my face.
【解題導(dǎo)語】 作者在德國一個(gè)小鎮(zhèn)逛了整整一天后很餓,但是卻不想坐在餐廳里獨(dú)自吃飯。當(dāng)她最后走進(jìn)一家意大利飯店的時(shí)候,一家熱情的德國人邀請(qǐng)她共進(jìn)晚餐。

Text messaging was designed for quick exchange of information.For messages that need short words,the short messaging systems are preferred.In a public place,for example,it is better for people to send text messages than to talk loudly and disturb others with their conversation.It has its advantages,but sadly,there are also disadvantages.
There have been several celebrities(名人)and TV shows raising the problem about accidents caused by sending or reading text messages while driving.It causes drivers to lose control or lose their concentration while driving.
Text messaging may actually be more dangerous than talking while driving as it requires the driver to take his eyes off the road and onto the phone.It is a most dangerous thing to do while driving.
The other disadvantage is the poor spelling habit that it develops among young people.It is natural for them to want to make a shorter form of the words so as to get it done quickly.However,they carry this through even when writing formal documents.Young people are becoming poor at spelling even simple words.
Text messaging also brings about an impersonal (冷淡的)culture.People communicate with text messaging.And they say important things on their phone when they should actually be said in person.
Culture changes along with its people and that is something that everyone knows will happen.What is sad is what it is turning into.Although many will argue that this kind of change is just like any other change that happened in the past,radical (激進(jìn)的) in the beginning,common finally.Text messaging may be one of those but it is pretty hard to think about the time when the phone separates two people even when they are sitting side by side.
【解題導(dǎo)語】 短信息給人們帶來很多方便,但同時(shí)也有不少的負(fù)面影響:駕駛時(shí)發(fā)短信息或閱讀短信息會(huì)造成交通事故;由于經(jīng)常使用單詞的縮略形式而降低了年輕人的拼寫能力;改變了人們傳統(tǒng)的信息交流方式而使人際關(guān)系淡薄。
31.We can know from the first paragraph that________.
A.text messaging is becoming less popular
B.some people like listening to others’ talk
C.people would like to make a phone call in public
D.many people prefer text messaging
解析:選D。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的For messages that need short words,the short messaging systems are preferred.和接著所舉的一個(gè)例子可知,人們還是比較喜歡使用發(fā)短信息這種方式。
