Passage One
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.
People in the United States honor their parents with two special days: Mother’s Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father’s Day, on the third Sunday in June.
Mother’s Day was proclaimed (宣布) a day for national observance by President Woodrow Wilson in 1915. Anna Jarvis from Grafton, West Virginia, had started the idea to have a day to honor mothers. She was the one who chose the second Sunday in May and also began the custom of wearing a carnation.
In 1909, Mrs. Dodd from Spokane, Washington, thought of the idea of a day to honor fathers. She wanted to honor her own father, William Smart. After her mother died, he had the responsibility of raising a family of five sons and a daughter. In 1910, the first Father’s Day was observed in Spokane. Senator Margaret Chase Smith helped to establish Father’s Day as a national commemorative day.
These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care.
These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery. On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Father’s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.

Passage Two
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.
For years, scientists believed that human brain development was completed by the time we were 10 or 11. Recent studies, however, show that during our teenage years, our brain is still maturing in important ways. When we’re teenagers, our decision-making ability is developing and we’re learning to make good choices. At the same time, we’re more likely than ever to take risks. Is this normal? Scientists who study the brain say “yes”. In fact, they believe that risk-taking and our “irrational” behaviors may actually help teens to become successful adults.
Take, for example, the teenager’s love of thrills. We all like new and exciting things, but never as much as we do during our teenage years. During this time of our lives, scientists say, our brains produce chemicals that can lead to dangerous behaviors, and it can also produce positive ones. Taking risks and trying new things may be challenging or even dangerous, but this behavior can also lead to useful experiences that will benefit us as adults.
Scientists also find there is an intense need for peer (同龄人) approval among teenagers. We enter a world made by our parents. But we will live most of our lives and succeed in a world run by our peers. Therefore, it is important that we are accepted and respected by our peers, even if it means taking some risks to fit it.

Passage Three
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.
If you look around, there are probably many coffeehouses (咖啡馆) near you. Coffee is a very big business. According to the International Coffee Organization, the world drinks about $70 billion in coffee each year.
Although coffee is one of the world’s most popular drinks, many people believe it isn’t healthy. It has been blamed for high heart rates, high blood pressure, and stomach problems. Coffee can make you feel more stressed and it can lead to sleep problems. Don’t even think about drinking coffee before you go to bed, or you’ll be up all night!
One common belief is that some women who drink coffee may have a hard time getting pregnant (怀孕). Others believe coffee can cause low birth weight if pregnant women drink it.
Medical research, however, has started suggesting that coffee might actually be good for us. It can give us energy, and it is thought to be helpful for headaches. It can protect our bodies against harmful substances in things like smoke and pollution. Overall, research shows that coffee is far more healthful than harmful.
While coffee may have health benefits, it is also full of caffeine which can make us feel excited. However, the problems can be controlled by limiting the amount of coffee we drink. There is no evidence that coffee is more truly harmful, and every day there is more evidence to show that it is good for us.

正确答案：C

学生答案：D
老师点评：
答案解析：
此题考查的是by the time搭配的时态。by the time引导时间状语时，主句需要使用完成时态，而且本句的时间是表示将来的next month，所以主句需要使用将来完成时。have completed为现在完成式；complete为动词原形；am completing为现在进行式，均不符合时间状语所要求的动词形式。本句想表达的是：到你下个月来看我时，我就已经完成学期论文了。

客观题满分： 2分得分： 2分
A
when
B
that
C
where
D
before
正确答案：B
学生答案：B
老师点评：
答案解析：
此题考查的是强调句式。如果去掉强调结构，该句是一个“not… until”句型：Jennifer didn’t realize she had lost her keys until she got home.本句要强调时间状语until she got home，这时要把主句中的否定词not放在was之后。强调句型“It is (was) + that (who) + 句子的其余部分”，It在句中无意义，只起引出被强调部分的作用。
26

客观题满分： 2分得分： 2分
A
too
B
very
C
so
D
only
正确答案：A

老师点评：
答案解析：
此题考查的是习惯用法。“can’t … too + 形容词（副词）”; “can’t… + 形容词（副词）+ enough”这两个用法都可以表示“无论……都不为过”，为固定用法，不能使用其他的搭配。本句想表达的是：当你驱车回家时，再小心都不为过。

has left
正确答案：C
学生答案：C
老师点评：
答案解析：
此题考查的是动词的时态。本句想表达的是：根据时刻表，开往北京的列车发车时间为周一至周五晚 9:10。从句子中的from Monday to Friday可知，列车的发车时间是一种常态化的安排，因此动词leave要相应地使用一般现在时态。
28

客观题满分： 2分得分： 2分
A
which
B
whose
C
of it
D
its
正确答案：B
学生答案：B
老师点评：
答案解析：
此题考查的是定语从句中的连接词。which应该在定语从句中担任一定的成分，但空格之后的句子是主系表结构，成分已经齐全，所以不合适。of it 不能使原句的结构成立；假如把its放在空格处，其前应该加句号将两句分开，所以its也不合适。whose作为关系代词时，既可指人也可指物，符合题意。
29

B
Compare
C
While comparing
D
Comparing
正确答案：A
学生答案：A
老师点评：
答案解析：
此题考查的是分词作状语。句子的主语the highest mountain，是compare的对象，因此要用表示被动的过去分词compared，而不能用现在分词comparing。本句想表达的是：跟整个地球的大小相比，地球上最高的山看起来一点儿也不高。

for which
正确答案：C
学生答案：C
老师点评：
答案解析：
此题考查的是定语从句的用法。定语从句的先行词为表示地点的an environment，它是which指代的内容，因此which前面的介词应该能和an environment搭配，介词in符合要求，表示“在……环境中”。本句想表达的是：提供一个能够鼓励公司各个层次的人员建言献策的环境是非常重要的。
