�、�. 閱讀理解

　　36. A［解析］由...they will surely choose the label “Legless Man”. Histories of the time will go something like this: “in the twentieth century, people forgot how to use their legs...”可以推知答案為A。

　　37. A［解析］通過最后一段開頭When you travel at high speed, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place. But actual arrival, when it is achieved, is meaningless. You want to move on again.可以推出A項符合題意。

　　38. C［解析］通過第二段中In our hurry to get from one place to another, we failed to see anything on the way...they never want to stop.可以推出人們在旅行途中什么都見不到。故C為正確答案。

　　39. D［解析］通過最后一段The traveler on foot, on the other hand, lives constantly in the present. For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes...the just reward of all true travelers. 再聯(lián)系前面幾段話，可以推斷作者寫文章的目的——走路是旅行的最佳方式。

　　40. C［解析］a bird’s?eye view是美國俚語，意為“從高處向下看的景致：俯視”。A項意為“用鳥的眼睛看景點”；B項意為“鳥在看美景”；D項意為風(fēng)景點。故C為正確選項。

　　41. A［解析］通過文章首段首句When you think of the tremendous technological progress we have made, it’s amazing how little we have developed in other respects.及第三段For centuries man has been trying to improve himself spiritually and emotionally——admittedly with little success. But at least we no longer tolerate the sight of madmen being cooped up in cages, or public floggings...可推知作者對現(xiàn)代人類的評價不太高，并不僅僅是蔑視或批判。故A項最為恰當(dāng)。

　　42. A［解析］可以由末段中間Big efforts are being made to distribute wealth fairly. These changes have come about not because human beings have suddenly and unaccountably improved, but because positive steps were taken to change the law. 推出法律應(yīng)禁止墮落而又危險的體育項目。A項正確。B項是作者說明“嗜血成性”的具體內(nèi)容之一。C項本身錯誤，文中沒有對比。D項是作者認(rèn)為人們?yōu)槭裁葱蕾p危險而殘忍的體育項目的根源。

　　43. D［解析］通過第一段開頭舉出羅馬人“嗜血成性”的例子及其后提出的問題Are we any less bloodthirsty?容易推出D項最為恰當(dāng)。A、B、C項的說法太過籠統(tǒng)、概括。

　　44. B［解析］通讀全文，容易知道作者在文中提到了斗熊、斗牛、賽車、拳擊、斗獅五種危險體育活動。

　　45. A［解析］通過文章最后一段If we banned dangerous and violent sports, we would be moving one step further to improving mankind. We would recognize that violence is degrading and unworthy of human beings.可以推知A項最為恰當(dāng)。

　　46. B［解析］根據(jù)文章第一句“When I was looking for a Christmas present for my daughter in a toy store”,知道故事發(fā)生在玩具店里。所以答案選B。

　　47. C［解析］那個小男孩看到喜歡的東西問他爸爸能否買得起，他爸爸總是搖頭，可以知道小男孩應(yīng)該是來自一個貧窮的家庭。所以答案選C。

　　48. A［解析］小男孩從商店免費得到了想要的電視游戲，被告知是獎品，這種天上掉餡餅的事情讓人很難以置信，所以答案選A。

　　49. A［解析］A選項說小女孩善良而樂于助人，文章講述這個小女孩放棄自己喜歡的娃娃，她買了小男孩喜歡的電視游戲讓店員送給他，可以看出她很善良、樂于助人。B選項說電視游戲是商店的獎賞，這只是小女孩為了不傷害小男孩自尊心讓店員說的善意的謊言。C選項說作者替小男孩付電視游戲的錢，但文章說是小女孩讓爸爸買的，而不是作者。D選項說小男孩從商店自己買了電視游戲，顯然不符合文意。所以答案選A。

　　50. D［解析］從文章最后小女孩和她爸爸的對話中知道，小女孩這么做的原因是奶奶告訴她去買一些能讓她高興的東西，那么小女孩認(rèn)為幫助別人，使別人快樂就是自己最大的快樂，這體現(xiàn)了小女孩的優(yōu)秀品質(zhì)。根據(jù)...didn’t Grandma want...答案選D。

　　51. B［解析］根據(jù)第一段At the beginning of the 20th century there was a big farm called Hollywood.知道，好萊塢最早的時候是農(nóng)場。所以答案選B。

　　52. C［解析］根據(jù)...1910’s to the 1950’s, Hollywood was the film center of the world.知道從1910年開始好萊塢變成了電影中心。

　　53. B［解析］文章第二段提到的人名有Charlie Chaplin, Greta Garbo, Bergman，沒有B選項，所以答案選B。

　　54. C［解析］從第三段The reason why people went to Hollywood to make films was the sun.知道，人們?nèi)ズ萌R塢拍戲是因為那里陽光充裕。所以答案選C。

　　55. A［解析］根據(jù)第四段As they made all the films by sunlight, the west coast was a much better place to work. 知道選項A是正確的，答案選A。

　　56. C［解析］A項太過籠統(tǒng)；B、D項錯誤。文章不是講廣告的優(yōu)點和廣告費用，而是講廣告服務(wù)于社會的功能；通過第二段開頭The poor old consumer! He’d have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn’t create mass markets for products.第三段A cheerful, witty advertisement makes such a difference to a drab wall or a newspaper full of the d[ 此文轉(zhuǎn)貼于貴,大.在.線 http://www.qdbaoqi.com] aily ration of calamities.第四段首句We must not forget, either, that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets.可以推出C項符合題意。

　　57. A［解析］文中作者提出了廣告的種種功能，可以推出作者對廣告是比較贊賞的；文中沒有提到廣告值得信任，B項排除。C項批評，D項不滿意，在文中找不到依據(jù)。

　　58. A［解析］通過文章首句Advertisers tend to think big and perhaps this is why they’re always coming in for criticism. 可以推出A項正確。

　　59. C［解析］A、B、D項均可在文中找到依據(jù)；C項說優(yōu)質(zhì)產(chǎn)品不需要廣告是錯誤的，一切產(chǎn)品都需要廣告，新產(chǎn)品、老產(chǎn)品都需要。

　　60. C［解析］本文一開頭引入對廣告的批評，然后作者以對比的手法詳述了廣告的功能。故C項“評論”為正確選項。

　�、�.書面表達(dá)

　　In the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games Chinese athlete Liu Xiang dropped out of the race due to his foot injury， which led to a heated discussion among people across the country.

　　According to a survey conducted by Sina Website，over 34% of the people think an athlete should quit the race when injured since health is much more important than a gold medal；while nearly 20% of the netizens believe that an injured athlete should hold on to the end instead of giving up halfway. They regard the sports field as a battlefield in which every athlete should fight for the honor of his or her country in spite of any difficulty.

　　In my opinion，it was a right choice for Liu Xiang to choose to quit the race. For one thing，nothing is more important than health and sports don’t mean sacrificing one’s health for a gold medal；for another，after Liu Xiang recovers fully，he still has many chances to realize his dream.Ⅵ. 教學(xué)設(shè)計
