Ⅱ.理解
(2009年黃岡2月檢測)
I am a good mother of three children.I have tried never to let my passion stand in the way of being a good parent.
I no longer consider myself the center of the universe.I show up.I listen.I try to laugh.I am a good friend to my husband.I have tried to make marriage vows (誓言) mean what they say.I am a good friend to my friends，and they to me.Without them，there would be nothing to say to you today.
So here’s what I want to tell you today：Get a life.A real life，not a desire of the next promotion (提升)，the bigger paycheck，the larger house.
Get a life in which you are not alone.Find people you love，and who love you.And remember that love is not leisure (休閑)，it is work.Pick up the phone.Send an email.Write a letter.And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.
It is so easy to waste our lives，our days，our hours，and our minutes.It_is_so_easy_to_exist_instead_of_to_live.I learnt to live many years ago.Something really，really bad happened to me，something that changed my life in ways that，if I had my choice，it would never have been changed at all.And what I learned from it is what，today，seems to be the hardest lesson of all.
I learned to love the journey，not the destination.I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it，completely and totally.And I tried to do that，in part，by telling others what I had learned.
By telling them this：Read in the backyard with the sun on your face.Learn to be happy.And think of life as a deadly illness，because if you do，you will live it with joy and passion (激情) as it ought to be lived.

(2010年鄭州第一次檢測)
Busy senior managers need no longer waste time in showering themselves—an Australian company has invented a suit that can be worn while they wash.
The suit has been specially designed so that it can be cleaned under the showerhead.There is no need for soaking (浸泡)，dry cleaning—or even soap.
The Japanese market has taken a liking to the “shower suit”，described as “revolutionary” by its owner Australian Wool Innovation (AWI)，which is the research and marketing body that represents Australian woolgrowers.Orders have been placed for 170,000 of the woolen suits.
The suit could be worn in the shower，although it was probably better to hang it on a clothes hanger and carry it instead，AWI corporate affairs spokesman Stephen Feighan said.“The idea is that you hang it up and then...you give it a spray (噴霧)，and it’s dry the next morning，” Mr Feighan said.
A Japanese researcher working for AWI invented the suit by combining three technologies.The secret is the best lining (內(nèi)襯)，which allows the suit to dry quickly.The shower suit attracted busy corporate people，particularly those who often traveled or stayed up late，Mr Feighan said.The airline industry was also interested.
Mr Feighan confessed he had not worn one of the suits yet，or tried to wash it in the shower，because they cut to fit Japanese figures.
AWI believes that the shower suit will spread from the Japanese market through Europe and India.Mr Feighan hoped the suit，made from local wool，would be available in Australia in 12 to 18 months’ time.
5．What is the writing purpose of the article?
A．To introduce a newlydesigned shower suit.
B．To help the white collars arrange their life more sensibly.
C．To provide suggestions on saving time in bath.
D．To praise AWI for its important achievement.
6．Which is true about the suit according to the passage?
A．It can spare the owner’s trouble of soaking，dry cleaning and applying soap.
B．It is of the quality of fast dry for its best cloth.
C．It is not suitable for hanging.
D．It has attracted more orders than any other suit.
7．The suit draws the attention from all the following groups EXCEPT________.
A．corporate people who are always on the go
B．people on occasional business trips
C．the airline industry
D．people burning the midnight oil
8．Which of the following has much to do with Mr Feighan?
A．The invention of the suit.
B．The tryon of the suit.
C．The combination of the three technologies on the suit.
D．The popularization of the suit and best wishes for it
9．It can be inferred from the passage that________.
A．Australians prefer foreign markets to the domestic one
B．wool is the most favorite material for clothing
C．westerners have different body sizes and figures from easterners
D．Australia’s economy will not recover within a year

Ⅰ.單項
1．C 考查冠詞。take action采取行動，是固定短語；第二空是特指，特指“行動帶來的后果”。
2．A 考查動詞辨析。glance匆匆看一眼。observe觀察；glare怒視；stare凝視。
3．C 考查it的用法。此句是it is...that...強調(diào)句型的特殊疑問句，在此作know的賓語，故用陳述語序。
4．B 考查副詞辨析。unfortunately不幸的是。句意為：對上屆奧運會冠軍陳中來說，不幸的是，她無緣決賽。
5．A 考查compare和get down to的用法。compare與whatever she did構(gòu)成邏輯上的動賓關(guān)系；get down to后接動詞ing形式作賓語。
6．B 考查主謂一致。句意為：在產(chǎn)鋼的工廠中，只有這一家使用大量的水進(jìn)行冷卻。quantities作主語，謂語動詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式；第二空用單數(shù)形式與先行詞the only one保持一致。
7．A 考查形容詞辨析。average普通的。句意為：“你認(rèn)為英國和意大利的那場足球賽怎么樣？”“沒什么特殊的地方——太一般了�！眜sual通常的；typical典型的；normal正常的。
8．A 考查短語辨析。come out出版。句意為：我們班里的大部分學(xué)生都喜歡讀《中國日報》，它每天都出版。come up上來，出現(xiàn)；come across偶遇；come about發(fā)生。
9．B 句意為：你在中犯了幾個錯誤，但總的來說，寫得很好。A.首先，最重要的是；B.總的說來，大體上；C.另一方面；D.迄今為止。
10．B 考查連詞。下句意為：“或許隨后我會去散散步，只要天一直好的話�！� so long as和as long as一樣，可以引導(dǎo)狀語從句，表示“只要”的意思。
11．A 根據(jù)空后的my selfishness and moodiness可知，她不能再忍受“我”的自私和壞脾氣了。
12．D 此題考查it作形式主語代替從句的用法。
13．D 此題考查近義詞辨析。length指“(具體物品的)長度”；aim作名詞時，意為“目標(biāo)”；distance指“(兩地的)距離”；range可指“射程”，根據(jù)后面的gun可知應(yīng)選D。
14．D 此題考查短語辨析。根據(jù)語境騎自行車的目的應(yīng)是增強體質(zhì)，故選D。build up意為“鍛煉”。
15．B 句意為：導(dǎo)致兩名乘客死亡的事故起因于粗心駕駛。result in后跟結(jié)果；result from后跟原因。
Ⅱ.理解
【語篇解讀】 作者通過自己的經(jīng)歷和體會，就如何過真正有意義的生活發(fā)表了自己的觀點。
1．A 推理。根據(jù)全文尤其是第二段可知，作者在個人生活方面是一個成功者。B、C所述與原文不符；作者熱愛生活這一旅程，并非指普通意義上的旅程，故D錯誤。
2．C 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第五段“I learned to live many years ago.Something really，really bad happened to me.”可知答案。
3．A 句意理解題。本句意為：生存容易，過真正的生活并不容易。在作者看來，人們往往只顧謀生而活著，并非過著真正的生活。
4．D 細(xì)節(jié)推斷題。根據(jù)第一段I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.“我從不讓工作影響自己做一個好母親�！笨芍鸢浮�
【語篇解讀】 本文介紹了一種新的服裝——可以穿著洗澡的衣服。穿上這種衣服洗澡，衣服不需要浸泡以及打肥皂，而且干得很快。
5．A 通讀文章內(nèi)容可知，本文主要介紹了一種新產(chǎn)品——一種可以穿著洗澡的衣服。
6．A 根據(jù)第二段內(nèi)容可知，A項與原文內(nèi)容相符，即這種衣服可以免去浸泡甚至打肥皂的麻煩。
7．B 根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段內(nèi)容可知，這種衣服受到經(jīng)常外出以及熬夜的人的歡迎，航空公司對此也很感興趣，但并沒提到偶爾旅行的人。
8．D 根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知，Mr Feighan是這種服裝生產(chǎn)廠家的發(fā)言人，結(jié)合選項可知D項正確，即這種服裝的推廣等方面跟他有關(guān)。
9．C 根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中Mr Feighan自己沒有穿這種衣服“because they cut to fit Japanese figures”可推知，西方人的體形和東方人不一樣。
