21.﹣I sometimes call my son abroad，but it's expensive.
﹣Why do you waste money ________ you could easily use Wechat or QQ?( )
A.while B.unless C.until D.when
【考点】从属连词.
【分析】﹣﹣我有时给我国外的儿子打电话，但是花费太贵了.
﹣﹣你可以轻易地使用微信或者QQ，为什么还要浪费那个钱呢?
【解答】答案：D.
when用作从属连词可以表示条件，意为"如果，既然"，另如How can I get a job when I can't even read or write?如果我连读和写都不会，我怎么能找到工作呢?while表示当…的时候，unless表示让步，除非…;until表示"直到…";故选D.
【点评】对于从属连词要掌握它的特殊用法，结合句意好好领会句子的意思，本题有一定的难度.
22.Alice went fishing in the company of her father early in the morning and she ________ life lessons along the way.( )
A.was learning B.has learned C.is learning D.had learned
【考点】过去进行时.
【分析】Alice一大早就在爸爸的陪伴下去钓鱼了，一路上她都在学习人生的经验教训.
【解答】答案：A.
因为and前面的分句时态为一般过去时，所以后面的句子也应该是过去的相应时态，可排除B和C;句中体现不出用过去的过去的语境，可排除D;又根据后面的along the way说明是在去钓鱼的一路上都在学习人生道理，所以用过去进行时;故选A.
【点评】分清不同的时态所表示的不同用法，理顺句子的具体含义.
23.Education is to change traditionally﹣minded individuals，typically those who are not prepared to ________，and to encourage critical thinking.( )
A.compensate B.accumulate C.investigate D.innovate
【考点】动词的辨析.
【分析】教育的目的在于改变有着传统思想的个人，特别是那些不准备创新的人们，并鼓励批判性思维.
【解答】答案：D
A：compensate 补偿，赔偿;B：accumulate 积累，集聚;C：investigate 调查，研究;D：innovate 创新，改革;
根据题干中"to change traditionally﹣minded individuals"和"not prepared to"可推断出应选择与"traditionally﹣minded"有相反意义的选项，四个选项中仅"innovate创新"符合语境，故正确选项为D.
【点评】此题考查动词的词义辨析，根据对动词词义的把握并结合语境，可选出正确选项.
24.I found my computer functioning much better，________ a new operating system.( )
A.to install B.installing
C.having installed D.installed
【考点】现在完成进行时.
【分析】在安装了一个新的操作系统之后，我发现我的电脑运行得更好了.
【解答】答案：C.
本句中划线前只有一个逗号，所有可推断考查现在分词作状语的用法，排除A和D.再结合本句的意思可知，安装新的操作系统应该是在电脑运行更快之前，所有应该使用现在分词的完成式作原因状语，排除B;故选C.
【点评】对于现在分词作状语的用法要分清分词的动作和主句谓语动词的动作发生的时间是否有先后关系，然后再判断所使用的形式.
25.﹣I hope you'll make good efforts while I'm away.
﹣Be assured!You'll be amazed at what ________ accomplished when you get back.( )
A.will have been B.has been
C.was D.would be
【考点】将来完成时.
【分析】﹣﹣我希望在我离开的这段时间里你们要好好努力工作.
﹣﹣放心.当你回来的时候会很吃惊的发现我们所完成的成就.
【解答】答案：A.
此处表示当你回来的时候(这个时间点是在将来的一个时间点)，已经完成的动作或已经对动作产生的一定的影响，即此处的完成的任务让你感到惊讶，故用将来完成时，而what和accomplish之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，所以用被动语态.因此为将来完成时的被动语态，答案为A.
【点评】对于时态的运用要分清句子的发生的时间，结合句子的语境要选择适当的时态，并明白句中的逻辑关系.
26.Echo is always complaining about her job as a cashier，but frankly it's ________ to have a job in these difficult days.( )
A.anything B.everything C.something D.nothing
【考点】不定代词.
【分析】Echo总是抱怨她当出纳员的工作，但是坦率地说，在这段艰难的日子里有这样一份工作就很不错了.
【解答】答案：C.
something可指有价值或者重要的人或事，如it's something意为"已经不错了"，类例：that's something真了不起!故选C.而everything指最重要的东西;anything指任何东西;重要东西;重要事物;nothing无关紧要的人或事.
【点评】要重点掌握特殊不定代词的用法，结合句子的语境来判断选项的意思及具体用法.
27.﹣Jack has been out of consciousness since the accident.Will he come to himself，doctor?
﹣It's going to be tough but we anticipate that he will ________.( )
A.put through B.pull through C.put over D.pull over
【考点】动词短语.
【分析】﹣﹣自从事故发生以后Jack就一直昏迷.他会醒来吗，医生?
﹣﹣这很难说，但是我们估计他会熬过这一关的.
【解答】答案：B.
put through，实行，完成;pull through 恢复健康，精神状况好转;put over 推迟，成功完成;pull over 靠边停车.根据句意"这很难说，但是我们估计他会熬过这一关的"可知，医生预计他会醒过来的，故选B.
【点评】对于动词短语的词义辨析题要分清不同短语的含义，并结合句子的语境来进行判断.28.She would be much healthier now ________ with that much pressure from work when young.( )
A.had she not burdened herself
B.were she not burdened
C.should she not burden herself
D.were she not to be burdened
【考点】倒装句.
【分析】如果不是她年轻时工作压力过大，她现在就会更加健康了.
【解答】答案：A.
本句是考查虚拟语气.根据when young可知，从句是对过去事实的假设，由now可知主句是对现在事实的假设，而在if引导的虚拟条件句中，如果从句中含有had、were或者should，可以将if省略，然后将had、were或者should提前，构成虚拟语气句的倒装;本句中的从句完整的句式应该是if she had not burdened herself with that much pressure from work when young，因为是对过去事实的虚拟，所以谓语动词用had done;故选A.
【点评】对于虚拟语气的句子要分清句子是对什么时间的事实进行的虚拟，尤其是对于错综时间虚拟条件句要认真分析，结合语境做出判断.
29.There has been positive reaction to the proposal of helping the disabled，the impact ________ will be lasting especially for younger ones.( )
A.on which B.on whom C.of which D.of whom
【考点】关系代词.
【分析】帮助残疾人的建议会产生积极的反响，其中的影响对于青少年来说将会更加持久.
【解答】答案：C.
根据the impact前面的逗号及选项可知，后面的内容应该是一个定语从句，the impact和前面的句子是一种所属关系，即这件事情的影响，所以用介词of+which来引导定语从句;故选C.
【点评】介词+关系代词引导的定语从句中介词的选择要遵循句子的指代及逻辑关系，短语的搭配等内容，所选介词要符合句子的表达意思.
30.What is expected of the 90's generation，who tend to spend most of their income every month，is ________ they should form a sense of saving.( )
A.when B.whether C.that D.how
【考点】连接代词;表语从句.
【分析】90后，几乎是一个"月光族"的群体，对于他们的期望就是希望他们养成一种节约的意识.
【解答】答案：C.
本句中who引导的为一个非限制性定语从句，what引导的为一个主语从句，is后面是一个表语从句，从句成分完整，所以用that来引导，that只起连接作用，不作任何成分;故选C.
【点评】对于连接词的选择要考虑相应的从句类型，以及连接词是否在从句中担当成分等.
31.It is widely accepted that the stock market usually reflects a country's economic ________.( )
A.function B.cooperation C.performance D.dependence
【考点】名词的词义辨析.

【解答】答案：C.

【点评】考查名词词义辨析及语境理解.对于名词的词义辨析题要分清不同名词的含义，并结合句子的语境来进行判断，
32.People's awareness of obeying the law is ________ to the guarantee of food safety.( )
A.sensitive B.superior C.loyal D.crucial

33.His way of addressing one hard problem last Friday ________ lead to the rise of another.( )
A.would rather B.may well C.shall D.need
【考点】情态动词.
【分析】上周五他解决一个难题的方法很可能会导致另一个新的问题的产生.
【解答】答案：B.
本句中表达的是一种委婉的说法，may well很可能，有充分理由可以;划线前后的两部分内容可以用此情态动词来表达;would rather宁愿，宁可;shall将会;need需要，这几个词都不符合语境;故选B.
【点评】对于情态动词的运用要多积累一些常用情态动词的用法，结合句子的语境来做出合理的推断.
34.﹣It is really boring to practise playing the piano every day.
﹣Come on，dear!The rewards you get are ________ the effort you put in.( )

56.Mount Cook National Park is home of the highest mountains and the longest glaciers.It is alpine(高山) in the purest sense﹣with skyscraping peaks，glaciers and permanent snow fields，all set under a star﹣studded sky.
Key Highlights
Although it includes 23peaks over 3，000metres high，this park is very accessible.State Highway 80leads to Mt Cook Village which is situated beside scenic Lake Pukaki and provides a comfortable base for alpine activities.Far from city lights，the stargazing here is magnificent﹣Aoraki Mount Cook National Park forms the majority of New Zealand's only International Dark Sky Reserve.
Mountaineers regard the area to be the best climbing region，while less skilled adventurers find plenty of satisfaction with the mountain walks that lead to alpine tarns，herb fields and spectacular glacier views.Encounters(遇到) with cheeky kea (mountain parrots) are part of the fun.
Key Activities
Mountain walks
There are 10short walks beginning near the village.All tracks are formed and well marked.The Red Tarns Track，Kea Point and the Hooker Valley Track each take around two hours return.For more experienced alpine hikers，there are three mountain pass routes﹣over the Mueller，Copland and Ball passes.
Glacier viewing and skiing
Helicopters and ski﹣planes provide access to the park's fabulous glaciers.The Tasman Glacier is an excellent choice for intermediate skiers，while the Murchison，Darwin and Bonney glaciers promise excitement for advanced skiers.From October until May，you can explore the Tasman Glacier's terminal lake by boat.
Mountaineering
Climbing Mount Cook remains the ultimate challenge，but there are many other peaks to tempt experienced climbers.Tasman，Malte Brun，Elie de Beaumont，Sefton and La Perouse are local favourites.

【解答】56.B.细节理解题.根据文章"Far from city lights，the stargazing here is magnificent﹣Aoraki Mount Cook National Park forms the majority of New Zealand's only International Dark Sky Reserve"可知，这里的星空是壮丽的奥拉基库克山国家公园形成唯一的国际黑暗天空保护区.故星光闪耀的夜空是公园特色.故选B.
57.A.细节理解题.根据文章"Climbers don't require permits，but are requested to complete a trip intentions form."可知，游客必须要填意向表，即游客要选择自己适合的项目.故选A.
【点评】本文为人文地理类阅读文章.但本篇也属于广告类，阅读这类文章时，也应该在整体把握文章结构的前提下，主要注意细节信息.细节题题干都是相应原文的变形(如同义改写、词性转换等)，因此要找到答案一定要找到题干在原文中的出处，再把原文和选项相比较.做题时，根据所提问题用寻读、跳读的方法可达到事半功倍的效果.
58.A report released this month found that grouping children by ability is on the rise again﹣teaching students in groups of similar ability has improved achievement for fast and slow learners alike﹣and who wouldn't want bright kids to be able to move ahead，or strugglers to get the help they need?
But for most kids，labels(标签) applied early in life tend to stick，even if they are wrong.
Sorting school children by ability has long been controversial.In some countries，especially in Asia，school﹣wide tracking(分流) remains normal.Children are tested and placed in different schools that direct them toward professional or vocational careers.Movement between the tracks is rare.
School﹣wide tracking decreased in U.S.schools in the 1960s and 1970s.It never died out，though.Sorting students into separate tracks for math at about junior high school age continues to be common，and other forms of tracking persist as well.
Unlike tracking，which means sorting students into separate classrooms，ability grouping happens within classrooms.When done according to the latest research，it has proven to promote achievement.
Ability grouping is changeable and temporary.Within classrooms，students might be divided into different learning groups dealing with materials of different levels.Any students who master concepts can move upward between groups，and the student groups might look different from subject to subject and unit to unit.For instance，a student who stands out in language arts might be at an average or slower level in math.A student who flies through multiplication tables might need extra help with fractions.Students who lag in reading can be pulled out of the classroom in small groups for practice with a tutor until their reading improves.
Research shows ability grouping within classes has more positive benefits than tracking.However，that must be weighed against the challenges involved.In many regular classrooms，the differences between student ability levels are very big.That presents challenges for teachers and low﹣performing students to constantly compare themselves with students who seem to fly through school with ease.
The rigid ability groups and tracking of the past are still with us in many schools.Likely，labels are applied with more caution than in the bad old days when some teachers gave reading groups not﹣so﹣secret code names like"Bluebirds""Robins""Crows"and"Buzzards".But kids still know.
58.Why is grouping children by ability becoming popular again? C
A.Because most teachers do not like slower learners.
B.Because grouping children should be done early in life.
C.Because it is academically beneficial to different learners.
D.Because fast learners can move ahead without teachers'help.
59.By saying"Movement between the tracks is rare."in Paragraph 3，the writer really means D .
A.tracking children is normal in Asia
B.school﹣wide tracking has decreased in US
C.professional and vocational careers are unrelated
D.sorted students can hardly change schools
60.The examples in Paragraph 6are used mainly to illustrate B .
A.a good language learner promises to be good at maths
B.a student might join different groups for different courses
C.ability grouping benefits gifted students more than slow ones
D.ability grouping presents no challenge for those slow students
61.What might be the challenge in regular classrooms for teachers? A
A.Students'different levels.
B.Students'low performance.
C.Constant self﹣comparison.
D.Application of not﹣so﹣secret code.

【分析】本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章向我们说明了如今很多学校依然根据学生的能力对他们进行不同的分组，这虽然对他们的学习有益，但是这种分组却一直存在争议，作者在文中讨论了这样分组的好处以及缺点.
【解答】58.C 细节理解题，根据第五段Unlike tracking，which means sorting students into separate classrooms，ability grouping happens within classrooms.When done according to the latest research，it has proven to promote achievement.可知学生根据他们的能力分组再次流行是因为它在学术上对不同能力的学习者是有益的，故选C.
59.D 推理判断题，根据第三段Children are tested and placed in different schools that direct them toward professional or vocational careers.Movement between the tracks is rare.可知作者说"Movement between the tracks is rare."是为了告诉我们给学生排序几乎不能改变学校，故选D.
60.B 细节理解题，根据第六段For instance，a student who stands out in language arts might be at an average or slower level in math.A student who flies through multiplication tables might need extra help with fractions.Students who lag in reading can be pulled out of the classroom in small groups for practice with a tutor until their reading improves.所提出的例子可知一个学生可能会加入不同的小组来学习不同的课程，故选B.
61.A 细节理解题，根据倒数第二段In many regular classrooms，the differences between student ability levels are very big.That presents challenges for teachers and low﹣performing students to constantly compare themselves with students who seem to fly through school with ease.可知教师在普通课堂上的挑战是学生能力水平之间的很大的差异，故选A.
【点评】考查学生的细节理解和推理判断能力.做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确选择.在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.
62.Microsoft just finished a three﹣month experiment operating an underwater data center.A server rack(服务器支架) with the power of about 300PCs was placed into a water﹣tight(防水) steel container and lowered into the ocean off the coast of central California.
The unusual experiment was launched because current data centers are unpleasantly inefficient.They're built where energy and land are cheap (not close to where people actually live).And they waste so much energy cooling their massive computers.The ocean can solve those problems.The cold ocean floor sufficiently cools the computing components inside the pod.And since most people live near the ocean，placing data centers under water could potentially increase the speed at which customers could access the information stored in Microsoft's cloud.
The experiment was so successful that Microsoft operated the underwater data center for 75days longer than it had planned to.The next step is to get a larger pod，with about four times the computing power，under the ocean for testing.Unlike the first experiment，the next pod will also be equipped with turbines，which will transform the ocean's currents into electricity.It's not clear when，if ever，underwater data centers will become a possible product."Our first experiment was like dipping our pinkie toe in the water，and now we're going for the big toe，"said Lee，corporate vice president of Microsoft Research.
Microsoft is still analyzing the environmental impacts of the study.Data centers are both hot and loud，which could have damaging effects on ocean life.Microsoft found that the noise its underwater data center produced was drowned out by nearby shrimp and crabs.The data centers are also built from recyclable materials，and Microsoft believes that the total carbon footprint of underwater data centers will be"dramatically lower"than current land﹣based centers.
Given the growth in the cloud，industry analysts believe that most of the world's data centers have yet to be built.But building a data center takes at least two years﹣an eternity in the fast﹣developing tech industry.As a result，Microsoft builds its data centers with the future in mind，installing far more computing power and space than it currently needs.
Lee believes that going under water can shift the building of data centers from construction projects to manufacturing jobs."What if we could mass﹣produce these pods on an assembly line?"he thought."We could deliver a data center，from conception to operation，in 90days.That's dramatically different than what's happening today."
62.What is the advantage of an underwater data center? D
A.It can be lowered to the ocean floor easily.
B.It can cool computing components automatically.
C.It can be built close to the place where people live.
D.It can make information easily accessible to people.
63.We can infer that the underwater data centers B .
A.cause little harm to the ocean life B.are more environmentally friendly
C.change the course of ocean currents D.are easy to build in large quantities
64.The underlined word"eternity"in Paragraph 5means" A ".
A.an extremely long time B.an extended period
C.a seemingly short time D.a fruitful period
65.The passage tries to inform readers that C .
A.an experiment was made in operating a data center
B.Microsoft will mass﹣produce pods on an assemble line
C.Microsoft succeeded in putting a data center underwater
D.underwater data centers are more efficient than land﹣based ones.

【分析】本文讲了微软刚刚完成了一个操作水下数据中心的服务器机架，这个水下数据中心可以更环保，使客户更方便的了解微软信息.但是目前在世界未推广出去，建设水下的数据中心还是一个很漫长的过程.
【解答】62.D.细节理解题.根据文章"And since most people live near the ocean，placing data centers under water could potentially increase the speed at which customers could access the information stored in Microsoft's cloud."可知，在水下的数据中心可能会增加客户可以访问存储在微软的云的信息的速度.即客户可以更方便的访问信息.故选D.
63.B.推理预测题.根据文章"Microsoft found that the noise its underwater data center produced was drowned out by nearby shrimp and crabs.The data centers are also built from recyclable materials，and Microsoft believes that the total carbon footprint of underwater data centers will be"dramatically lower"than current land﹣based centers"可知，水的数据中心的噪音被附近的虾和螃蟹淹没，数据中心也从可回收的材料建造.可推测出，水的数据中心更环保.故选B.
64.A.词义猜测题.原句中"But building a data center takes at least two years﹣an eternity in the fast﹣developing tech industry"，意为建设水的数据中心需要两年的时间发展.可猜测"eternity"应是时间意义的词汇.又从"most of the world's data centers have yet to be built"可知，世界大多数数据中心没建成，本句又用"but"转折，可见是一段长时间的建设过程.故选A.
65.C.主旨大意题.本文讲了微软刚刚完成了一个操作水下数据中心的服务器机架，介绍了水下数据中心的操作和一些优势.故选C.

66.(10分)My father's family is not a musical family.They are a family of words.My brother has my father's dark hair，his love of a good argument.I take after my mother.From her I inherited a curious nature，a sense of adventure，bright red hair.I did not，contrary to her hopes，inherit a talent for the piano.That fact was established beyond doubt after unsuccessful attempts to draw music from me.
The piano lessons began when I was four.My mother was convinced that I would be a child Mozart.She found the ideal teacher﹣Madame Oblenka，a strict Russian woman，whose pursed lips were enough to frighten a wild horse into submission.Madame Oblenka，who expected a little Mozart，was not very delighted to find a little girl banging her fists(拳头) on the keys.
I tried to please her."Feel the music，"she urged.I"felt"it and winced(退避) my ears﹣for what is more unpleasant than a series of wrong notes played continuously?She"felt"my music，too，which is why she always left with an angrier expression than when she came.
Once，when I was ten，I managed to record one of my own rehearsals(练习).In order to escape my practice sessions，I would close myself behind the door of the piano room，put on the tape recording，and read until the tape had finished.That method worked for a week，until my mother began to wonder why I always missed the same B﹣sharp.She knocked on the door，and，receiving no answer，came in to check on me and found that I had fallen asleep while the tape of my performance played on and on.
I was twelve when my parents finally acknowledged that my hidden talent was not about to emerge(显现) any time soon.My mother，refusing to admit defeat，told me to pick another instrument."Choose anything you want，Honey，"she said，assuming that freedom of choice would inspire devotion.I thought long and hard and chose the drums.My parents，sensitive to noise，would be less than overjoyed by a daily bombardment of playing.I imagined my father in his study，cotton wads in his ears.
I worked my way through several other instruments before my mother hit on another idea.Maybe I wasn't meant to be an instrumentalist.Realizing that drama might be more suited to my talents，Mom took me to a drama teacher.However，he put me backstage，painting scenery.Once I recovered from my sense of injury，I realized the wisdom of his choice.I loved the active，practical backstage world，and I discovered that I had a knack for constructing and painting.I loved the challenge of taking our scanty(贫乏的) supplies and using them to make something beautiful.Imagining a scene and then seeing it emerge before me﹣this，to me，was close to magic.
I'm a sculptor now，and every day I experience afresh the joy of being fully absorbed in the act of artistic creation.It's a wonderful，blissful(乐而忘忧) feeling.I realize that my parents，in their misguided attempts to interest me in music，were trying to give me this feeling.And now I feel grateful.Perhaps they went about it in the wrong way，but their hearts were in the right place.
66.Madame Oblenka always felt angry because D .
A.the author was too young to play the piano well
B.the author often pointed out the wrong notes of her
C.the author kept banging on the keys unconsciously
D.the author's performance was far from satisfactory

A.She was eager to free herself from piano lessons.
B.She was reluctant to play an instrument.
C.She was confident of handling them.
D.She was fond of beating drums.
69.The author's mother can be best described as A .

A.parents should encourage their children to create art

D.art should be treated as a joy rather than a burden.

71.(10分)Social Networking and Its Effect
Social networking has become an unquestionable part of our everyday lives.Those who have a life on the Internet do not always realize that they are losing their connections with the real world.Nowadays，a reputation online is more important.Some are even finding a way to make a living online.Social media seems to have quite the impact，especially on teenagers.
Years ago，before social networking existed，friends would go out and have a good time，and popularity in high school would be something of importance to a lot of people.Today，popularity means having a lot of followers on Twitter or Tumblr.Tumblr has its own way of creating"celebrities".Users are considered"Tumblr famous"if they have a high number of followers.Websites make us think that greatness is achieved just because thousands of strangers are familiar with your face.Popularity is not about having a lot of friends anymore; it is just about being known for absolutely nothing.
Social networking has its positives，considering it allows us to connect with friends and family in a matter of seconds.Although this is extremely useful，it is also destroying our ability to make real life conversations.People are attacked over the Internet，but do not say a word to each other in person.Social media is preventing us from standing up for ourselves the way we should be.Facebook limits our conversations that we have with people，which is why it is always better to strike up a conversation in person instead of through a computer screen.Social networking destroys the true meaning of human interaction.
Teens are finding new ways to make a living out of advertisements that they post on their social networking pages.Social networks allow them to make money without even getting up off the couch.Being out in the real world and working creates ways to communicate and is a crucial part of life，but that will be destroyed if young teens think it is okay to just make money through social media.Social networking makes things easier，but that does not always mean that it makes things better.
Social networking affects young lives and causes teens to grow up differently from how their older relatives have.They rely on their blogs and pages to communicate with people，keep up with the latest trends and enjoy their separate little world.Social media has ruined how life should be：fun，adventurous and exciting.Instead，it has turned most teenagers into anti﹣social couch potatoes.There needs to be a break from social networking so young people can once again live a real life in the real world.
