【解题导语】 作者帮助一只被卡住的鸽子从栏杆中间脱身出来,由此得到一些启示:困住鸽子的栏杆就好像是生活中的障碍,我们不停地挣扎直到筋疲力尽。有时候来自朋友的一点帮助或者正确指引能够帮助我们获得解脱。
1.A.observe B.feed
C.draw
D.catch
解析:选B。根据文章首句可知,作者住在公寓里, 不让在屋里养宠物,所以他只能在阳台上喂养鸟,下文“As I put the usual seeds out...”也给予了提示。
2.A.visits
B.attacks
C.calls
D.welcomes
解析:选A。根据下文“...from some sparrows or magpies coming from the outside.”可知,到了夏天,还会有从外面来的麻雀或者喜鹊飞到他的阳台上,即有其他鸟经常光顾他家。
3.A.reflection
B.treatment
C.experiment
D.exercise
解析:选A。根据文章最后一段作者的议论可知,观察鸟对作者来说既是放松也是思考的一种方式。
4.A.sparrows
B.pigeons
C.magpies
D.pets
解析:选B。根据最后一段“...like the railings holding the pigeon back...”可知,前几天一只鸽子卡在栏杆中间了。
5.A.injured
B.sick
C.crazy
D.dead
解析:选D。根据下文“...it was not dead...”可知,作者一开始以为鸟已经死了。
6.A.fly
B.wake
C.struggle
D.breathe
解析:选C。根据下文“...he got more frantic(狂乱的).I comforted him and told him not to move.”可知,当作者走到阳台上去查看时,这只鸟开始挣扎。
7.A.unconscious
B.sleepy
C.exhausted
D.drunk
解析:选C。根据下文“...from the effort of trying to free himself.”及最后一段“...we struggle against them till we are exhausted.”可知,此处说的是:这只鸟是因为挣扎着想脱身而累得筋疲力尽。
8.A.approached
B.noticed
C.teased
D.removed
解析:选A。根据语境可知,作者越接近这只鸟,它就挣扎得越厉害。
9.A.cried
B.shook
C.continued
D.stopped
解析:选D。根据上文“I comforted him and told him not to move.”及下文“He kept still...”可知,作者安抚这只鸟,告诉它不要动。这只鸟可能是害怕了,就停止挣扎,一动不动。
10.A.believe
B.feel
C.value
D.accept
解析:选B。根据上文可知,作者告诉这只鸟不要挣扎,它就不动了,或许是它害怕了,但是作者更愿意相信是鸟儿能够感应到作者的意图,知道他不会伤害自己才乖乖听话的。
11.A.curiously
B.bravely
C.quickly
D.gently
解析:选D。根据上文描述作者对鸟儿的安抚和他对鸟儿的喜爱,此处应该是:作者轻轻地把手放到鸟儿下边把它托起,让它从栏杆中解脱出来。
12.A.surprised
B.amused
C.watched
D.thanked
解析:选C。根据下文“...with joy and maybe appreciation in his eyes...”可知,鸟儿飞回来,眼中含着喜悦地看着作者,眼神中仿佛也带着感激。
13.A.worries
B.wonders
C.opportunities
D.barriers
解析:选D。根据下文“like the railings holding the pigeon back”可知,生活中也充满了像困住鸽子的栏杆那样的障碍。
14.A.imagined
B.artificial
C.unavoidable
D.necessary
解析:选A。根据上文“some are very real”可知,生活中的障碍有些是确实存在的,而有一些却是想象的。
15.A.push
B.lift
C.comfort
D.appreciation
解析:选B。根据上文“...lifted him up to set him free...”可知,像被困鸽子得到了作者的帮助(lift)一样,有时候当一个人身处困境时,所需要的就是来自朋友的一点帮助或者正确指引。
第二节 语法填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求,在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。
My husband and I recently attended a large party held by his company.As we were leaving,a lot of cookies and other food items16.________(offer)to people so that they could take them home.My husband thought he’d take a few for us to have later and picked up17.________.

16.解析:考查动词的被动式。因为主语与谓语动词offer之间存在着被动关系,且事情发生在过去,故填were offered。
答案:were offered
17.解析:考查代词。根据上文中的a few可知,此处应使用不定代词some。
答案:some
18.解析:考查词形变化。修饰名词winter应使用名词wind的形容词形式windy。
答案:windy
19.解析:考查非谓语动词。本句已有谓语动词were,且police officers与动词direct之间存在着逻辑上的主动关系,故填directing。
答案:directing
20.解析:考查it的特殊用法。本句中的it为形式主语,真正的主语为to have to be outside...。
答案:it
21.解析:考查介词。in the cold表示“在严寒中”。
答案:in
22.解析:考查限制性定语从句的关系词。因先行词前有all修饰,故使用关系代词that引导从句。
答案:that
23.解析:考查词形变化。It was amazing that...表示“令人惊讶的是……”。
答案:amazing
24.解析:考查冠词。由句意“你是一位善良漂亮的女士”可知,此处应使用表泛指的不定冠词。
答案:a
25.解析:考查限制性定语从句的关系词。根据句意“这就是我们高兴的原因”。因为for which=why,故此处应填关系代词which。
答案:which
Ⅱ.阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节 阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项。
A
I was hungry because after a full day of exploring the German town,I hadn’t eaten anything more than a pizza.I’m comfortable traveling through a country where I don’t speak the language,but I would almost rather go hungry than sit in a restaurant eating alone.
After wandering around the town for another half an hour,I finally chose an Italian restaurant that seemed friendly enough.I know I should have gone for more traditional German food,but the idea of a plate of Italian noodles for only six euros was too much to pass up.So I nervously entered.As I stood there,I noticed all the happy families and friends eating together.The hostess found a small table for me next to the front entrance.
“Great,” I thought,“now people can look at this friendless traveler as they enter.” Then I started to wonder how many of the customers might mistake me for the hostess and how much this would interrupt (打断)my meal.Then a woman,whose name is now lost to memory,invited me to have dinner with her and her family.I couldn’t believe it!This was the German friendliness I had read about.
I walked to their table.I can be quite shy when talking to new people.I also started to wonder how this would work.Do I have to talk to them the whole time?Do they even know English?The meal began awkwardly.The woman’s two children mostly stared at me.
Fortunately the parents spoke enough English and I knew a little German.I came into this restaurant afraid of eating alone and I ended up conquering my shyness.Separate bills came for each of us;we paid and went our own ways.The family probably ended up discussing their day while I just walked back to my hotel with a smile on my face.

Text messaging was designed for quick exchange of information.For messages that need short words,the short messaging systems are preferred.In a public place,for example,it is better for people to send text messages than to talk loudly and disturb others with their conversation.It has its advantages,but sadly,there are also disadvantages.
There have been several celebrities(名人)and TV shows raising the problem about accidents caused by sending or reading text messages while driving.It causes drivers to lose control or lose their concentration while driving.
Text messaging may actually be more dangerous than talking while driving as it requires the driver to take his eyes off the road and onto the phone.It is a most dangerous thing to do while driving.
The other disadvantage is the poor spelling habit that it develops among young people.It is natural for them to want to make a shorter form of the words so as to get it done quickly.However,they carry this through even when writing formal documents.Young people are becoming poor at spelling even simple words.
Text messaging also brings about an impersonal (冷淡的)culture.People communicate with text messaging.And they say important things on their phone when they should actually be said in person.
Culture changes along with its people and that is something that everyone knows will happen.What is sad is what it is turning into.Although many will argue that this kind of change is just like any other change that happened in the past,radical (激进的) in the beginning,common finally.Text messaging may be one of those but it is pretty hard to think about the time when the phone separates two people even when they are sitting side by side.
【解题导语】 短信息给人们带来很多方便,但同时也有不少的负面影响:驾驶时发短信息或阅读短信息会造成交通事故;由于经常使用单词的缩略形式而降低了年轻人的拼写能力;改变了人们传统的信息交流方式而使人际关系淡薄。
31.We can know from the first paragraph that________.
A.text messaging is becoming less popular
B.some people like listening to others’ talk
C.people would like to make a phone call in public
D.many people prefer text messaging
解析:选D。细节理解题。根据第一段中的For messages that need short words,the short messaging systems are preferred.和接着所举的一个例子可知,人们还是比较喜欢使用发短信息这种方式。
