22、e morning, many of us check a window thermometer(温度计)for the temperature. This helps us decide what to wear. _25_. We want our food to be a certain coldness in the refrigerator. We want it a certain hotness in the oven. If we dont feel well, we use a thermometer to see if we have a fever. We keep ou
23、r rooms a certain warmth in the winter and a certain coolness in the summer.Not all the thermometers use the same system to measure temperature. We use a system called the Fahrenheit scale. But most other countries use the Centigrade scale.Both systems use the freezing and boiling points of water as
24、 their guide._26_ .The most common kind of thermometer is made with mercury(水银)inside a clear glass tube. As mercury (or any other liquid ) becomes hot, it expands. As it gets colder, it contracts(收缩).That is why on hot days the mercury line is high in the glass tube._27_.First. Take a clear glass j

In my own experience, the people I respect most are the teachers _30_ demanded the
30、 most discipline from their students.I miss one teacher in particular that I had in high school. I think she was a good teacher because she was a very strict person. I remember very _31_(clear) a sign over her classroom door. It was _32_ simple sign that said， “Laboratoryin this room the first five
31、letters of the word was emphasized, not the last seven.”In other words, I guess, labor _33_ her was more important, which means _34_(make) speeches.She prepared her work very carefully and demanded us to do the same. We got lots of homework from her. _35_ she had broken her arm, and everybody in the
32、 class thought that maybe the homework _36_(reduce), but it continued just the same.

Beside, it is becoming more and more important in our daily life. If you study hard, you will be succeed. Do remember that where there
35、 is a will there is a way. I am looking forward to hearing good news from you.答 案完形填空：1.B 考察连词及句子理解。前面 unpleasant voice 和 direct way of speaking是消极意向,后面 encouraging 和 inspiring 是积极意向,因此需填转折连词,四个选项中 A表并列,C 表结果，D 表原因，只有 B 选项 yet 表转折。2.A 考察名词及篇章理解。第二段第二句话“她想知道我认为我们该怎样处理事情”直接提示了这个空应该选观点 opinion 这个词. 第二段
36、倒数第四句话中也出现了这个词从而验证了其正确性。B. impression 印象、C. information 信息、D. intention 意图均不符合题意。3.C 考察动词及篇章理解。根据文章主线选择“处理”事情。考纲要求考生掌握 handle 的两种意思，名词是“柄、把” ，动词是“处理” ，这里考察后者。A, 做、创造 B 保持 D 改变 均不符题意。4.D 考察代词及句子理解。开始我不知如何回答是因为我对舞台设计“一无所知” 。 know nothing about sth 对某事一无所知。5.A 考察名词及篇章理解。解题关键词是本句的 ”respond 回答、响应”, 线索是第二
37、段第一句中的 “ask 提问”及第四句中的“answer 回答” ， 因此这里填 “question 问题”这个词。BD 选项是评论，C 是解释，不符题意。6.D 考察动词及篇章理解。本句的 them 指代 opinions 。form opinion 形成观点 。hold opinion 持有某种观点，form 是个变化的状态，hold 是个持续的状态，根据文意推断作者开始并没有观点，由于她相信我有观点所以我形成了观点，强调形成这个过程，另外 Begin to 后接有变化感的词，故选 form 不选 hold. B. follow 遵照,C .evaluate 评估与题意差别较大。7.C 考
38、察形容词及句子理解。解题线索在后半句 “so I began to show up to paint more and more ” 作者做的事情变多是 Mrs. Neidl 信任的结果，说明我是个可信赖（reliable）的人,C 选项符合题意。其他三个选项 happy 高兴的 lively 活泼的和 punctual 准时的都不能表达出这种合理的因果关系。另外迷惑性较大的 lively 通常用来形容物。 8. B 考察名词及句子理解。引号里是一句鼓励性质的话，而且前面“that year”也是线索，说明这话是她的 motto 座右铭。迷惑性较大的 C 选项 saying 是谚语的意思，往往
39、是人们长期形成的对生活及经验的总结，强调群体性及时间性，故不合适，message 信息，suggestion 建议，不合题意。9.D 考察副词及篇章理解。本题难度较大，解题关键词是介词“over” ，表覆盖。选择 later 可以理解为“如果没有画好，稍后可以再画一次覆盖在之前的画上。 ” more 更多， Instead 代替， 不合题意。迷惑性最大的是 again.表示“再一次、又一次”但是放在这里与 over 意思重复，paint over it later 相当于 paint it again, 故不选 A。10.D 考察名词及篇章理解。take risks 固定搭配，冒险。通读全文发
40、现作者是开始很不自信，第四段开头也提示了作者“shy” ,“quiet”,因此动笔画画对他来说是个冒险，是自我突破的过程，文章最后一段也提到了 take chances 冒险，因此选 D。take steps 是采取措施、步骤的意思，与文章主题不搭，control 和 charge 都有控制的意思，不合题意。11.A 考察动词及句子理解。Improve upon 改进。线索是本段开头的座右铭“试试吧，我们永远可以重画一次。 ”因此不存在失败，只存在改进。Act upon 按照、对起作用，look upon 看待、考虑，reflect upon 考虑、回顾，均不符题意。12.C 考察副词及篇章理
41、解。本段主要描写了作者从不敢做到敢做的过程，根据前文提示作者曾很不自信，后来在 Mrs. Neidl 的鼓励下自信地拿起了画笔，因此选 confidently. A easily 容易的。作者超越自我的过程并不容易。B carefully 小心地。创作并不是个小心翼翼的过程。D Proudly 骄傲地。文章中没有任何体现。13.B 考察动词。Be recognized as“被公认为、被承认” 。 Introduce 介绍、引入，be identified as“ 被确定是” ，有验证身份的意思，be considered as “被认为、被当作” 。其中 be recognize as 有“
42、被大家承认、被普遍接受”的意思，表意更准确。14.C 考察动词。解题关键词是“want ”。作者意识到自己想要的是什么，所以用 realized. 迷惑项是 decided 决定。可以说决定要什么，但不可以说决定想什么，因为想法是不可控制的。Confirm 证实 acknowledge 承认，与题意差别较大。15.A 考察介词。Being with sb 与某人在一起。这里不能选 of 是因为全文第一句话，Mrs. Neidl 是“ one of the directors” ，所以不能说是她的团队。Below 和 by 搭配错误。16.B 考察动词。发现了一项爱好和一个未知的世界，选 dis
43、covered. 迷惑项是 developed , 这个词可以与 interest 连用表示形成了某种爱好，但是不可以与 world 连用表示“形成一个未知世界， ”故排除。Take interest 取利，foster 培养，均不合适。17.B 考察动词及篇章理解。 “她教会我不要去在乎别人认为我该怎么做” ，care 在乎，符合文意。Accept 接受，judge 判断 ，wonder 怀疑 均不合文意。18.D 考察形容词及句意理解。Be afraid 害怕。前面说 Take chance 冒险，后面理所当然说不要怕（失败） ，而且前文反复出现了 afraid 这个词，是全篇的关键词。B
44、ored 无聊的，lazy 懒惰的，sad 伤心的，在文中均无体现19.A 考察名词及篇章理解。Trust 信任。通读全文会发现文中多次提到 Mrs. Neidl 对作者的信任，并在第三段明确使用了 trust 这个词，因此推断出答案。Patience 耐心，curiosity 好奇心，interest 兴趣，文中均无体现。20.C 考察形容词及篇章理解。 “她对我的信任激励我完成以前认为不可能的事情” ， “never imagined possible” 等于 “imagined impossible.” 认为不可能的，贴合文意。Accessible 容易取得的 enjoyable 有趣的
45、 favorable 有利的赞同的 均不合文意。阅读答案：21.选 D 根据文中小标题 For killing wolves 第一段第三行“so the wolf population has increased”第三段第一句和第四段第一句话，可知选项 D 不是原因22 选 A 小标题 Against killing wolves 中第三段最后一句23 选 C 小标题 Against killing wolves 中第二段最后两行可知强者生存，弱者淘汰是自然法则24 选 B 文中最后一段可知狼居住的地方被人类占据，它们就会跑到就近的农场等地吃人，那么人类就会反过来杀死它们七选五：25-29.A
46、ECFD语法填空：30-39. that/who . clearly . a. for making . Once . would be reduced . them . least . as改错答案：receive ( received) greatly(great) learn(learning) because (that) interests( interest) couldnt (cant) difficulty(difficult) It will be（加 a）Beside( Besides) you will be (去 be)succeed.y. I am looking forward to hearing good news from you.
