Yes, you’re right. I am from South Africa. I am not at all used to this cold weather, but I am glad to say that I have all the clothes for this freezing weather.
When I first got to know that I would be attending this international conference in Finland, I’ve no idea what kind of clothes I should take along. I don’t know what to do when I thought of this two-week stay here, with a rather formal dinner, a few parties, social gatherings and a dance during the conference.
Fortunately, my friend Julia has been to Northern Europe. Yes, she was a great help. She helped to solve my biggest problem. She placed an order for some warm suits and dresses, business-type clothes, of course, of dark colors. She also bought me some skirts and blouses so that I could wear the same clothes in several different ways. A couple of lively colored dresses will give me a nice change from time to time. She also helped to choose a very warm raincoat and a pair of boots.
Oh, how lucky I am to have such a helpful friend. She saved me a lot of trouble. 第二 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)
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. — Do you mind if I sit next to you? —________. It is occupied. A. Not at all C. Up to you 答案 D

解析 句意：——你跟你的朋友杰克相处得如何?——我受够他了。他总是问问题。故A项I’ve had enough of him．“我受够他了”，符合语境。
23. If you can’t pay back the money ________ a certain date, you’ll receive a payment reminder. A. by C. after 答案 A
解析 句意：如果在特日期之前不能还款，你将会收到催款单。根据句意可知选择A项。by表示”不迟于；在……之前”。

C. on condition that
B. by the time D. so that B. at D. until B. Very well D. It depends B. You’re welcome D. I’m sorry

解析 句意：只要你答回来后马上还我，我就可以把车借给你。on condition that意为“条件是；只要……”，符合句意。
25. According to the agreement, you ________ be fined if you fail to meet the goal. A. will C. might 答案 D
解析 句意：按照协议，如果你没有达到目标，你将会被罚款。shall用于第二、三人称，表示说话人给对方的承诺、警告、命令，符合句意。 26. — How long ________ in New York?
— Until next Monday when I’ll come back for a meeting. A. have you stayed C. are you staying 答案 C
解析 根据答语可知，问话人是在询问对方的计划或安排，因此使用stay的现在进行时表示将来。故选C项。
27. ________ is known to us is ________ the curse of the emperor remains a riddle to this day. A. It; that C. That; that 答案 D
解析 分析句子成分可知，“________ is known to us”为主语从句，主语从缺少主语，故用What。第二空处引导表语从句，表语从句不缺少成分，故选that。因此答案为D项。
B. As; what D. What; that B. did you stay D. were you staying B. must D. shall
28. Everything is going well. We ________ any problems so far. A. didn’t have C. haven’t had 答案 C

解析 含有否意义的副词hardly位于句首时，主句要采用倒装的形式，故排除C、D两项。在hardly ... when ... 固句型中，主句的谓语动词用过去完成时，而从句用一般过去时。故B项正确。 30. He hurried to the station to catch the train, his wife and children ________ him. A. following C. followed 答案 A
解析 句意：他匆忙地到车站去赶火车，而他的妻子和孩子紧紧跟在后面。逻辑主语his wife and children与follow之间是主谓关系，故用following作伴随状语。
31. ________ by curiosity, he opened his wife’s notebook and began reading her diary. A. Driving C. Driven
B. Being driven D. Having driven B. to follow D. being followed B. don’t have D. won’t have
答案 C
解析 主句主语he与动词drive之间构成逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词Driven作原因状语。 32. Wang Zhiwen, a famous actor, was charged with drunk driving last week, ________ shows the government’s strength and determination to severely discipline offenders. A. that C. when 答案 B
解析 句意：著名演员王志文上周被指控醉酒驾车，这显示了政府严惩违法者的力度和决心。关系代词which在非限制性语从充当主语，指代整个主句的内容。
33. More often than not people like ________ when people make nice comments on their new clothes. A. that C. them 答案 B
解析 句意：人们往往会喜欢别人对自己衣服的赞美。表示“爱”“恨”情感的谓语动词后接由when, if, why引导的从句作宾语时，往往在从句前加形式宾语it。
34. I’m broke. I have to ________ an idea for making money. A. get on with C. come up with 答案 C

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
Cleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy — they’re given after all. Choices can be hard.
I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that Internet usage was growing at 2 300 percent per year. I’d never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old, and I’d been married for a year. I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldn’t work since most start-ups don’t, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. MacKenzie told me I should go for it. As a young boy, I’d been a garage inventor. I’d always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me to follow
my passion.
I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people, and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park, listened carefully to me, and finally said, “That sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn’t already have a good job.” That logic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but ultimately(最后), I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn’t think I’d regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all.
After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow my passion, and I’m proud of that choice. For all of us, in the end, we are our choices.
56. What inspired the author with the idea of building an online bookstore? A. His dream of being an inventor.
B. The greatly increasing usage of the Internet. C. The support of his boss. D. The millions of exciting titles.
57. The underlined word “haunted” in the third paragraph probably means “_______” A. remaining in the mind C. having a doubt
B. being excited D. being afraid
58. We can know from the passage that ________. A. the boss thought the idea was suitable for the author
B. the author might not regret if he failed the idea C. the author wanted someone else to try the idea D. the author might go back to his boss if he failed
59. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Cleverness and Kindness C. Following My Passion 答案与解析
【解题导语】 聪慧是上天赐予的礼物，而选择却是自己作出的。作选择时是困难的，而我们的选择会决我们的一生。 56．答案 B
解析 根据文章第二段第二、三句可知，迅速增长的互联使用量让作者产生了创建亚马逊上书店的想法。 57．答案 A
解析 根据上下文可知，作者认为如果尝试了，即使失败，他也不会后悔，但如果决不去尝试，这件事可能会一直让他耿耿于怀，故选A，意为“萦绕于脑际；难以忘却”。 58．答案 B
解析 根据第三段中的“I didn’t think I’d regret trying and failing．”可知，即使失败，作者也不会后悔。 59．答案 D
解析 在文章的开头，作者表明，作选择是困难的；在第二、三两段中作者详细讲述了当初作出创建亚马逊上书店这个选择的艰难；在最后一段中又强调我们的选择决我们的一生。故D项作为标题最合适。
Medical students in California are getting real-world experience by helping the homeless on the streets of Los Angeles. They are filling gaps in the health care system while learning
B. The Starting of Amazon D. We Are What We Choose
about their future profession.
The patients sit on folding chairs along the sidewalk in Hollywood, as students unload supplies and medical records from a truck. They are creating a makeshift clinic on the street.
The first stage is triage, assessing the needs of the poor and homeless at this once-a-week mobile clinic. It is run by students from the University of California, Los Angeles, who operate similar clinics in different communities on other nights. They provide medicine and offer clean socks and reading glasses to those who need them. They bandage injuries and monitor vital signs.
Another charity offers nutritious meals to the patients. Students in social work and law also come to offer assistance, getting long-term help from the government or private agencies for those people who qualify.
Physician Walter Coppenrath helped start this street clinic 12 years ago when he was a medical student. He now teaches at UCLA and sees patients at a nearby medical center.
The care is given to those who do not get help in other places, says medical student Steffanie Becerra. “They see us as their only point of care within the medical system where they can get medications. A lot of people with hypertension or diabetes really have no other choice but to come here because they just can not afford the medications elsewhere,” she explained.
The mobile clinic helps both patients and students, says undergraduate Kevin Norris, who plans to become a doctor.“We really treat them as individuals deserving of respect because so many of the homeless people here in Los Angeles are really just looked down upon and largely ignored by much of the population,” Norris stated. He says that once a week these people get the attention and the care they deserve, and the volunteer work helps him understand his future role as a physician.
60. The once-a-week mobile clinic can provide the patients with the following things EXCEPT ________. A. clean socks C. reading glasses
B. medicine D. nutritious meals
61. Which of the following doesn’t belong to medical students’ duty? A. Bandaging injuries.
B. Making sure what medical treatment the patients need. C. Helping some patients get long-term help from the government. D. Monitoring vital signs.
62. According to the passage, we can learn that ________. A. the idea of creating a makeshift clinic started in 1990 B. the once-a-week mobile clinic only opens in the daytime C. most of the people receiving the service are very poor D. Waler Coppenrath’s occupation is only a teacher at present 答案与解析
【解题导语】 本文讲述加利福尼亚医学系的学生在洛杉矶建立移动诊所，运用自己所学的专业知识帮助无家可归的人的故事。
【长难句解读】 Students in social work and law also come to offer assistance, getting long-term help from the government or private agencies for those people who qualify．
分析：getting long-term help from the government or private agencies for those people who qualify为状语, who qualify为语从句，修饰先行词those people。
译文：社会和法律系的学生也来提供援助，为那些符合条件的人从政府或私人机构中获得长期帮助。
60. 答案 D
解析根据第四段首句“Another charity offers nutritious meals to the patients.”可知营养餐不是移动诊所提供的，故答案选D。 61. 答案 C
解析 根据第四段第二句“Students in social work and law also come to offer assistance, getting long-term help from the government or private agencies for those people who qualify.”可知，社会和法律系的学生为那些符合条件的人从政府或私人机构获得长期帮助。故C项不是医学系学生的职责。 62．答案 C
解析 根据第五段第一句可知A项错误。根据第三段第二句“It is run by students ... in different communities on other nights.”可知B项错误。根据倒数第二段内容可知C项正确。根据第五段第二句可知D项错误。
A ten-day festival, Slow Down London, will offer residents a rare opportunity: the chance to relax and take stock.
If it is successful, organisers plan to expand their campaign to other British cities and conduct events throughout the year. Tessa Watt, who organised the event with two friends wanting a more balanced life said: “There’s a sense in a city like London that we do tend to run around like mad rabbits in a cage. We get angry with someone walking slowly on the pavement, and we want to attack someone if they haven’t got their card out at the gate of the tube(地铁). Things are a little bit out of hand. ”
She said that the festival would offer a range of events aimed at inspiring people to “improve their lives by slowing down to do things well, rather than as fast as possible”.
A walk across Waterloo Bridge, which would take most commuters (上下班往返的人) a couple
of minutes, will take participants in an organised stroll up to an hour. A workshop will seek to bring back the lost art of letter writing, while another will offer suggestions for better organisation of the working day. During the event organisers will hand out “speeding tickets” to who they think are walking too quickly.
Ms. Watt said: “We’re not saying that people should be going slowly all the time, but stress and speed are major issues for most people in big cities. This is an opportunity to highlight the issues and help people create a little bit of space in their lives.”
The concept of “slow living” began in the late 1990s in Italian towns where residents feared that their traditional way of life was being destroyed. Since then, several movements have developed quickly across Europe — from slow food to slow cities, which seek to improve the quality of life, for instance by planting flowers in the street.
Ms. Watt said: “People always connect slowing down with having to go outside the city, and they think you can only have a feeling of calm in rural life. We’re out to show that you can achieve that in the city.”
63. What is Slow Down London festival aimed at? A. Improving people’s lives by slowing down. B. Calling on residents to relax outside the city. C. Not getting angry with someone walking slowly. D. Inspiring people to learn the art of letter writing. 64. What will Londoners probably do during the ten-day festival? A. They will run around like mad rabbits in a cage.
B. They will write letters to those people who are walking too quickly.
C. They will walk slowly across Waterloo Bridge in about an hour. D. They will plant flowers on the pavement.
65. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. The campaign will be expanded to other British cities soon.
B. People in cities are not concerned about the change of their lifestyle. C. Slow Down London is only connected with commuters.
D. The concept of “slow living” has spread throughout Europe. 66. What’s the opinion of Ms. Watt? A. People in London are rude to each other. B. People should walk slowly all the time.
C. Many people haven’t realized the issues of stress and speed. D. People can also have a feeling of calm in the city. 答案与解析
【解题导语】 Slow Down London是一个通过放慢节奏来缓解生活压力，提高生活质量的节日。本文介绍了这个节日的详细情况。
【长难句解读】 We get angry with someone walking slowly on the pavement, and we want to attack someone if they haven’t get their card out at the gate of the tube(地铁).
分析：该句由and连接的两个分句构成。walking slowly是动词-ing形式作语，修饰someone； if引导的从句作第二个分句的条件状语。 63．答案 A
解析 根据文章第三段中的“... aimed at inspiring people to ‘improve their lives by slowing down to do things well, rather than as fast as possible’.”可知，这个节日的目的是通过放慢生活节奏
来提高人们的生活品质。 64．答案 C
解析 从第四段第一的“A walk across Waterloo Bridge, which would take most commuters (上下班往返的人)a couple of minutes, will take participants in an organised stroll up to an hour.”可知，C项正确。 65．答案 D
解析 从第六段第二句话可知，“slow living”这一概念已经迅速遍及欧，所以D项正确。 66．答案 D
解析 根据最后一段中瓦特女士所说的最后一句话可知，在城市人们也能够感受到平静，故答案为D项。

Halloween is hard work. Coming up with a great costume idea, running around to try to find the elements of said costume, sitting around with a hot glue gun and felt trying to perfect your outfit — all can make Halloween seem like more trouble than it’s worth. It shouldn’t be that way. The annual Half-Assed Halloween party has two rules: you’re only allowed to make a costume out of things you have at home, and your costume can only take 30 minutes to assemble, tops. This year’s party will be held at the 201 Bar, and is a fund-raiser for the Multiple Sclerosis Society. The ＄ 30 ticket is good for free appetizers (开胃品) and an open bar from 8 p. m. to 10 p. m., with drink specials after that. There will be “crappy(劣质的)” prizes for the “best” costumes, so there’s no pressure.

第一处：答案 There改为Here。
解析 here“这里”， there“那里”。根据上下文内容可知，此处表示“这是为你们的参观所做出的安排”。 第二处：答案 Firstly改为First。 解析 first of all表示”首先”，是固用法。 第三处：答案 在show you后面加around ／ round。 解析 show sb. around ／ round意为“带(某人)参观”。 第四处：答案 others改为other。

Recently a new policy was approved by the Ministry of Education. __________ _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ 【范文赏读】
Recently a new policy was approved by the Ministry of Education. It is regulated that sports scores will be added to the scores of every student’s College Entrance Examination. The policy caused many people’s concern.
Some people hold the view that the policy will serve as a guide to strengthen students’ physical quality. Both teachers and students will undoubtedly attach great importance to physical education, and it’s easy to imagine the phenomenon that PE is always taken away will never be seen.
On the other hand, some people argue that Roman was not built in a day. It takes time to meet the goal. The teaching of PE should be aimed at developing students’ interest in sports rather than using scores as a means of assessment. If the policy of College Entrance Examination doesn’t carry out a reform fundamentally, this new policy won’t work out well.
In my opinion, every school should make a specific plan of improving students’ physical quality. Setting aside some time for students to work out every day is also helpful.
