二、英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)
第一节 单项填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)
请从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
21．—Are you still thinking about yesterday’s party?
—Oh，that’s ________.
A．what makes me feel excited
B．whatever I fell excited about
C．how I feel about it
D．when I feel excited
解析：选A。考查表语从句。what引导名词性从句时，充当句子的成分，可作主语、宾语或表语，此题中what引导的是表语从句，它在从句中作主语。
22．I am heavily ________ at the moment，but I hope to be out of it when I get paid.
A．in debt B．in trouble
C．of difficulty D．in danger
解析：选A。句意：我现在陷入严重的债务危机中，但是我希望发了工资后会摆脱债务困扰。由后半句的“out of it when I get paid”可知A项正确。in debt“欠债”；in trouble“陷入困境”；in danger“陷入危险”。
23．She has been ________ over his strange letter for several weeks，but she still figures out nothing about it.
A．puzzling B．worried
C．troubled D．anxious

—________， but I had an accident on the way.
A．I was going B．I would
C．I should have D．I’d like to
解析：选C。根据上下文可知，“我本该去，但路上出了事，所以没有去”。should have done表示“本该做而没有做”。如果A项改为I was going to也是正确的。
25．—Have you finished the report?
—Oh，sorry.It was so noisy in the office that I couldn’t ________ down to write anything.
A．settle B．put
C．sit D．lie
解析：选A。settle down意为“平静下来；专心于”。其余选项均不符合句意。
26．—I’ll ask the teacher about the attributive clause.I’m very puzzled about it.
—That’s just ________ most of our classmates have doubt.
A．what B．why
C．where D．how
解析：选C。句意：——我要问老师定语从句的问题。我对它感到很困惑。——那也是大部分同学有疑问的地方。where引导的是表语从句，have doubt on/about“怀疑……”，doubt后无介词，所以用where。
27．—We are afraid we can’t finish the task ________ a month.
—Take your time，but next month you’ll have a new one.
A．within B．by
C．among D．after
解析：选A。within“在……里；在……之内”，后常接表示某个特定范围的名词。within a month“在一个月内”。
28．—I come all the way to say “Thank you” and we
________________________________________________________________________
it without you.
—Think nothing of it.
A．should have done B．mustn’t have done
C．couldn’t have done D．needn’t have done
解析：选C。第一句句意为：我专程来向你道谢，如果没有你，我们一定做不了这件事。should have done表示“本应该做某事而没有做”，needn’t have done意为“本不必做某事”，放在此处都不符合句意；B项must表推测时不能用于否定句。couldn’t have done意为“过去不可能做……”，符合句意。
29．In many countries in the world，breakfast is a snack ________ a meal，but the traditional English breakfast is a full meal.
A．other than B．more than
C．rather than D．less than
解析：选C。句意：在世界上很多国家，早餐是小吃而不是一顿饭，但是传统的英国早餐是一顿正餐。rather than“而不是”，符合句意。other than“不同于；除了”；more than“不仅仅；超过”；less than“不如；少于”。
30．The fact ________ this country spends more on its military than on education and health care combined is a serious and worrying thought.
A．where B．which
C．that D．why
解析：选C。句意：这个国家在军队上的投入超过教育和健康投入的总和，这一事实很严重也很令人担忧。that引导同位语从句，具体解释说明fact的内容。
31．There was a lot of fun at the party.You ________，but why didn’t you?
A．should come B．ought to have come
C．may have come D．must have come
解析：选B。句意：晚会很有趣，你本该来，但为什么没来？根据句意可知“应该做，但没做”，故用ought to/should have done形式。
32．I don’t understand how you should spend so much money in only one month.Please ________ each sum of the money you spent to me.
A．make out B．account for
C．describe D．record
解析：选B。句意：我不明白你一个月怎么花掉这么多钱，我要你向我说明你所花掉的每一笔钱的用途。account for“解释；说明”，符合句意。make out“弄清楚；辨认出来”；describe“描写；描述”；record“记录”。
33．They were determined to carry out the plan at first，but then we ________ persuade them to change their minds.
A．would B．could
C．were able to D．had to
解析：选C。句意：他们一开始决定执行这个计划，但后来我们说服他们改变了主意。were able to表经过一番努力，成功地做成某事，相当于managed to do sth.；could只表过去一般性的能力。
34．It even leaves the scientists in wonder ________ they should call the newly-born creature，which looks half-human and half-animal.
A．that B．why
C．what D．how
解析：选C。句意：这甚至使科学家们也困惑了，他们不知道叫这个看起来一半像人一半像动物的新生动物是什么。it是形式主语，此空引导主语从句，并在从句中作宾补，故选what。call sb.sth.为惯用词组。
35．—I am so glad I caught you at home.I need your help!
—________， Robin?
A．What’s up B．What else
C．How come D．Why not

Professor Yuan Longping，the father of hybrid rice，expressed the hope that he would grow more crops on less farmland.The 77-year-old scientist is the pioneer of hybrid rice research and he has been carrying out his work since the 1960s.The scientist invented hybrid rice and was also the first to successfully change the self-pollinating (授粉) characteristics of rice.His hard work and devotion made large-scale farming of hybrid rice possible，thus making the nation self-reliant(自给自足的) on rice.Talking about farmers’ happiness and their strong response to hybrid rice，Professor Yuan recalled how an old farmer in Hunan Province became over-joyed during Phase(阶段) Ⅰ.“Thank you for teaching me how to plant the super hybrid rice.I’ve never had such a good harvest in forty years of rice farming.I have the highest regard for you and your fellow scientists，” the professor said，recalling the words of the farmer.
Apart from being highly productive，the hybrid rice is also tasty.Recalling another incident，Professor Yuan said three years ago some reporters from Hong Kong and Shenzhen had a chance to taste the rice.A young female reporter had two bowls of rice.On another occasion，a rich businessman even had three bowls of rice and took home some of the rice for his family.
Under the super rice planting programme，set up by China’s Ministry of Agriculture，a total of 10.5 tons of hybrid rice per hectare(公顷) was produced in Phase Ⅰ from 1996 to 2000.The production target was increased to 12 tons per hectare in Phase Ⅱ from 2001 to 2005，with the target achieved in 2004.Professor Yuan said Phase Ⅲ planting was well underway，and he was confident that the target could be achieved in 2010.Professor Yuan’s achievements in hybrid rice research have won him a large number of international awards，like the UNESCO(联合国教科文组织) Science Prize.
56．The author thinks the hybrid rice is________.
A．delicious as well as productive
B．not delicious nor productive
C．difficult to be planted
D．the best rice in the world in the future

58．What does the underlined word “response” in the first paragraph mean?
A．Export. B．Expand.
C．Reduce. D．Reaction.
解析：选D。词义理解题。第一段倒数第四句意为“谈到农民的幸福和他们对杂交水稻的强烈反应，袁教授回想起在第一阶段一个湖南老农种植杂交水稻后是多么的高兴”。此处response表示“对某事的反应”。

Norman Borlaug was born on a farm near Cresco in 1914，to a family of Norwegian descent(挪威血统)．His parents left Norway to escape food shortages.Norman took his early education in a one-room rural schoolhouse.
Norman attended the University of Minnesota where he studied forestry(森林学)．After he worked for the US Forestry Service for some time，he later returned to the university to study plant pathology(病理学) and received his master’s degree in 1939.
While at the University of Minnesota，Norman listened to a lecture from Dr.Elvin Stakman and learned how science would “go further than has ever been possible to end the miseries of hunger and starvation from this earth.”
When Norman graduated with his PhD in 1942，it was during World War Ⅱ.He began work with Dupont，a company that then specialized in using science and chemistry to create new products.But he was soon offered a position with a new research project in Mexico.Norman believed he could use his knowledge of science to help those poor farmers.For the next sixteen years he worked hard in Mexico.His creation of new wheat varieties (品种) was the start of what would be called “the Green Revolution”．
In 1970，Norman won the Nobel Peace Prize for his work to end world hunger in India and Pakistan.Norman remains the only agricultural scientist ever to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.
To bring more attention to the issue of hunger，he asked the Nobel Foundation to create a prize for food and agriculture.When refused，he sought financial support and in 1986 created the World Food Prize.The prize money totaling $ 250,000 mainly comes from a philanthropist(慈善家)，John Ruan.

When you put down your pens at the end of the college entrance exam,12 hard years of study will have come to an end.Forget your studies for a while.It’s time to enjoy yourselves!
There are many ways to celebrate this special month of graduation (毕业)．You can have photos taken with your classmates and teachers，or dine out together and exchange gifts.
High school students in western countries such as the United States and Canada usually have a party to mark their graduation.It’s to mark the time when kids turn into young men and women.After the party，teenagers either go to college or find a job.It means they will no longer depend on their parents as before.
At the party，boys usually dress in dinner jackets and bow ties，though many different types of formal clothes are worn.Girls traditionally wear formal dresses，or dress to shock or be noticed，in shiny or brightly colored materials.
Common party activities include dining，dancing，the crowning (加冠) of a ball king and queen，and just talking to friends.In some cases，high school students collect funds for their class party through the four years of their high school.
High schools in or near large cities may rent big rooms at expensive hotels or，to be unusual，on a pleasure boat.But often costs are cut by simply using the school gym.Students make a lot of effort to decorate the gym to make the event special.The music played at the party will be the most popular kinds，like rock and hip-hop.
Sometimes teachers and parents also go to the party.But others like to go with friends，to whom they are soon going to say goodbye.
If you like the idea of a party，why don’t you and your classmates organize one for your graduation?
64．The writer’s purpose in writing this passage is to________.
A．tell an interesting experience of high school students
B．tell how the western students spend the last days of high school
C．introduce several ways of the western students’ killing time
D．tell how western high school students usually celebrate graduation

We walked in so quietly that the nurse at the desk didn’t even lift her eyes from the book.Mum pointed at a big chair by the door and I knew she wanted me to sit down.She took off her hat and coat and gave them to me and walked quietly to the small room by the lift and took out a wet mop (拖把)．She pushed the mop past the desk and as the nurse looked up，Mum nodded and said，“Very dirty floors.”
“Yes.I’m glad they’ve finally decided to clean them，” the nurse answered.She looked at Mum strangely and said，“But aren’t you working late？”
Mum just pushed farther and farther down the hall.I watched until she was out of sight and the nurse had turned back to writing in the book.
After a long time Mum came back.Her eyes were shining.She quickly put the mop back and took my hand.As we turned to go out of the door，Mum nodded politely to the nurse and said，“Thank you.”
Outside，Mum told me, “Dagmar is fine.No fever.”
“You saw her，Mum？”
“Of course.I told her about the hospital rules，and she will not expect us until tomorrow.Dad will stop worrying as well.It’s a fine hospital.But such floors! A mop is no good.You need a brush.”
68．When she took a mop from the small room，what Mum really wanted to do was to________.
A．clean the floor B．please the nurse
C．see a patient D．surprise the story-teller
解析：选C。此题不能从文章中直接找到答案，但从文章描述妈妈拿起拖把，从护士面前走过，从作者的视线内消失到最后一个自然段妈妈谈话的内容，可以判断出他们是来看病人的。
69．When the nurse talked to Mum，she thought Mum was a________.
A．nurse B．visitor
C．patient D．cleaner
解析：选D。从第二自然段提供的信息可以推断出护士一定以为她是一个清洁工，所以才没有阻拦她。
70．Who is Dagmar?
A．The story-teller’s sister.
B．The story-teller’s classmate.
C．Mum’s friend.
D．Dad’s boss.
解析：选A。从作者与妈妈的对话“You saw her，Mum？”“...Dad will stop worrying as well...”中，可以推断出病人是作者的妹妹。
71．Which of the following words best describes Mum?
A．Polite. B．Patient.
C．Changeable. D．Clever.
解析：选D。通过整个故事情节的描述，母亲装扮成清洁工，成功躲过护士的监视，在非探视时间混进病房看望女儿，都说明了母亲的聪明。

If cars had wings, they could fly and that just might happen, beginning in 2011.The company Terrafugia, based in Woburn, Massachusetts, says it plans to deliver its car-plane, the Transition, to customers by the end of 2011.
“It’s the next ‘wow’vehicle，” said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh.“ Anybody can buy a Ferrari, but as we say, Ferraris don’t fly.”
The car-plane has wings that unfold for flying－a process the company says takes one minute－and fold back up for driving.A runway is still required to take off and land.
The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies, although it is both.The company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations, and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations.
The company is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as a more convenient and cheaper way to fly.They say it saves you the trouble from trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports：You drive the car to the airport and then you’re good to go.When you land, you fold up the wings and hit the road.There are no expensive parking fees because you don’t have to store it at an airport－you park it in the garage at home.
The car-plane is designed to fly primarily under 10,000 feet.It has a maximum take-off weight of 1,430 pounds, including fuel and passengers.Terrafugia says the Transition reduces the potential for an accident by allowing pilots to drive under the bad weather instead of flying into marginal(临界的) conditions.
The Transition’s price tag: $ 194,000.But there may be additional charges for options like a radio, a transponder or a GPS.Another option is a full-plane parachute.
“If you get into a very awful situation, it is the necessary safety option，” Gersh said.
So far, the company has more than 70 orders with deposits.“We’re working very closely with them，but there are still some remaining steps，” Brown said.
【解题导语】 大千世界，无奇不有。一种既能够在陆地上行驶，又可以在空中飞行的汽车式飞机即将诞生。
72. We can learn from the first two paragraphs that ________.
A．car-planes will be popular in 2011
B．people might drive a car-plane in 2011
C．both the Transition and Ferrari can take off and land
D．Richard Gersh is the vice president of Massachusetts
解析：选B。推理判断题。第一段提到这家公司计划在2011年的年底之前推出这款新产品，由此可推测B项正确。
73．It takes the car-plane one minute to ________.
A．fold and unfold its wings
B．unfold wings for flying
C．land in the airport
D．meet flying safety regulations
解析：选B。细节理解题。根据第三段可知它打开飞行用的机翼需要一分钟的时间。故选B。
74．According to the passage，which of the following is NOT true?
A．The car-plane needs a runway to take off and land.
B．To meet aircraft regulations, the company has been working with FAA.
C．The car-plane may fly as high as normal planes.
D．People can park the car-plane in the garage at their home.
解析：选C。正误判断题。第六段的第一句提到这款产品设计的起初飞行高度是一万英尺以下，由此可知它不能和正常的飞机飞行同样的高度。
75．The underlined word “it” in the last but one paragraph refers to ________.
A．the radio B．the transponder
C．the GPS D．the full-plane parachute
解析：选D。猜测词义题。根据本句前半句中的内容可推测此处指代的是上一段最后一句中提到的full-plane parachute(降落伞)。

One possible version：
Dear students，
In the last thirty years，great changes have taken place in the way the farmers work in the fields in China.
In the past, they had to use oxen or horses to help them to plough the soil. Also，they had to gather crops with sickles at harvest time because there were no machines available.
However, nowadays things are quite different from what they were. Today, the farmers use machines to turn over the soil and sow the seeds. In the harvest season, they also use machines to help them.The time of modernization is coming.
The modern equipment has made farming much easier and the farmers’ lives more enjoyable！It has saved a lot of labors and time.
