过去分词在句中作状语。注意，此处位于句首，单词首字母要大写。故填Given。3.Philsuggests________(raise)somemoneyfortheparentswhocan’taffordschoolsuppliesfortheirchildren.（所给词的适当形式填空）【答案】raising【解析】【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：菲尔建议为那些买不起孩子学习用品的父母筹集一些钱。suggestdoingsth.表示“建议做某事”。用动名词作宾语，故填raising。4.Hefeltmoreuneasywiththewholeclass________(stare)athim.(所给词的适当形式填空）【答案】staring【解析】【详解】考查现在分词。句意：全班都盯着他看，他感到更不自在了。空格处是with复合结构，class和stare是主谓关系，因此空格处用现在分词表主动，故填staring。5.IworkedsolateintheofficelastnightthatIhardlyhadtime________(catch)thelastbus.（所给词的适当形式填空）【答案】tocatch【解析】【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：昨晚我在办公室工作到很晚，几乎没时间赶上末班车。结合句意表达“有时间做某事”用havetimetodosth.，不定式作time的后置定语。故填tocatch。6.Toacertainextent,weareallresponsible________thistragicsituation.（用适当的词填空）【答案】for【解析】【详解】考查介词。句意：在某种程度上，我们都对这种悲惨的局面负有责任。分析句子且根据句意可知，空处涉及固定搭配beresponsiblefor，表示“对......负责”，所以空处应填介词for。故填for。7.Lightisthefastthingintheworld,thespeedof________is300000kilometerpersecond.（用适当的词填空）【答案】which【解析】【详解】考查定语从句。句意：光是世界上速度最快的，它的速度是30万千米/ 秒。分析句子结构可知，thespeedof　　　　is300000kilometerpersecond是定语从句，先行词是Light，在从句中作介词of的宾语，指物，应用关系代词which引导。故填which。8.Forthesakeofhealth,however,youmightconsider________(exercise)regularly.（所给词的适当形式填空）【答案】exercising【解析】【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：然而，为了健康起见，你可以考虑定期锻炼。分析句子结构及根据句意，可知此处考查动词短语“considerdoing”（考虑做某事），意为“考虑做锻炼”。故填exercising。9.Ifyoukeepdoingthat,I’msureyouwillbecome________(energetic)andfeelbetteraboutyourself.（所给词的适当形式填空）【答案】moreenergetic【解析】【详解】考查形容词。句意：如果你一直这样做，我相信你会变得更有活力，自我感觉也会更好。分析句子结构可知，空格前有动词“become”，所以空格处要填形容词；根据并列连词“and”后有比较级“better”，所以空格处也要填形容词比较级；由于所给词“energetic”是多音节形容词，所以用more来构成比较级。故填moreenergetic。SectionB(6%)Directions:Fillineachblankwithaproperwordchosenfromthebox.Eachwordcanbeusedonlyonce.Notethatthereisonemorewordthanyouneed.A.profitsB.donationsC.volunteersD.sellingE.fundingF.floodedG.appealIlovecharityshopsandsodolotsofotherpeopleinBritainbecauseyoufindquiteafewofthemoneveryhighstreet.ThecharityshopisaBritishinstitution,____10____everythingfromclothestoelectricgoods,allatverygoodprices.Youcangetthingsyouwon’tfindintheshopsanymore.ThethingIlikebestaboutthemisthatyourmoneyisgoingtoagoodcauseandnotintothepocketsofprofit-drivencompanies,andyouarenotdamagingtheplanet,butfindinganewhomeforunwantedgoods.Thefirstcharityshopwasopenedin1947byOxfam.Thefamouscharity’s____11____toaidpostwarGreecehadbeensosuccessfulthatithadbeen____12____withdonations.Theydecidedto

因此，通过这些耳朵，雇主会有一个更老练，更聪明，因此更有价值，更有生产力的员工)”和“Thus”可知，此处是对上文的总结，即指出对员工投资的结果。由此可知，空处应承接上文，“Acompanythatputsoutfundstopayfortheeducationofitsemployeeswhogoontoanotherjobinadifferentcompanyassoonastheygettheirdegree,moreoftenthannot,theemployeeswillstaywiththecompany.(对于一拿到学位就会去另一家公司工作的员工，如果公司提供资金来支付这些员工的教育费用，通常情况下，这些员工会留在公司)”指出即使员工离开了，在此期间也会给公司带来价值，E选项“Evenifemployeesdoleave,itgenerallytakesseveralyearstocompleteanydegreeprogram.(即使员工真地离开了，通常也需要几年时间才能完成任何学位课程)”符合，故选E。第Ⅱ卷Ⅰ.Phrases(16%)Directions:FillintheblankswiththeproperformsofthegivenwordsorphrasesEachphrasecanbeusedonlyonce.endupstickouttakeintoaccountslipintoleantowards40.She________unconsciousnessanddiedthenextday.41.Itisreportedthatsomeobesepeoplearesoobsessedwithlosingweightinextremewaysthatthey________inhospital.42.He________morerelaxsubjectsinhislaterworkratherthanseriousones.43.Childrenofaparticularagecannotbeexpectedtomastereducationalmaterial.Weshould________theircurrentlevelofcognitivedevelopment.【答案】40.slippedinto41.endup42.leanstowards43.takeintoaccount【解析】【40题详解】考查动词短语。句意：她陷入昏迷，第二天就死了。分析句子结构可知，此处要填谓语动词；根据后句“diedthenextday”（第二天死了）可知，此处表示“陷入昏迷”，所以要用动词短语“slipinto”；根据“and”后动词“died”是过去时，所以此处也用过去时。故填slippedinto。 【41题详解】考查动词短语。句意：据报道，一些肥胖的人是如此痴迷于用极端方式去减肥，他们最终都生病住院了。分析句子结构可知，此处要填谓语动词；根据前句“losingweightinextremeways”（用极端的方式减肥）可知，一些肥胖的人痴迷减肥，不注重健康，最后都生病住院了，所以要用短语“endup”；根据前句动词“are”及空格前主语“they”，可知此处要填动词原形。故填endup。【42题详解】考查动词短语。句意：在他后期的作品中，他倾向的是较为轻松的题材，而不是严肃的题材。分析句子结构可知，此处要填谓语动词；根据句意及“ratherthanseriousones”可知，此处意指“他更倾向轻松的题材”，所以用动词短语“leantowards”；由于句子主语是“he”，所以谓语动词用三单式。故填leanstowards。【43题详解】考查动词短语。句意：不能期望特定年龄的孩子掌握教育材料。我们应该考虑到他们目前的认知发展水平。分析句子结构可知，此处位于情态动词“should”后，所以空格处要填谓语动词原形；根据前句“Childrenofaparticularagecannotbeexpectedtomastereducationalmaterial.”（不能期望特定年龄的孩子掌握教育材料。）可知，后句表示的意思应该是“要考虑他们的认知发展水平”。故填takeintoaccount。Directions:Fillintheblankswiththeproperformsofthegivenwordsorphrases.Eachphrasecanbeusedonlyonce.perceiveinspirationcollapsesocialisepanicky44.Thisisanupliftingstoryoftriumphbyablackwomanwhoovercamedifficultiesandbecamean________formillions.45.Buildingswayed.Walls________andhousescamecrashingdown.46.Whileyouandyourfriendareboththinkingaboutskydiving,you________thesituationinverydifferentways.47.Youareunabletofunctionincertainsituations---liketakingtestsor________withfriends.【答案】44.inspiration45.collapsed 46.perceive47.socialising【解析】【44题详解】考查名词。句意：这是一个令人振奋的成功故事，作者是一位黑人女性，她克服了种种困难，成为令数百万人受到鼓舞的人。分析句子可知，前面有冠词an，所以这里需要可数名词单数形式做became的表语，inspiration“鼓舞，启发（的人/事）”是名词，符合句意。故填inspiration。【45题详解】考查谓语动词。句意：建筑物摇晃。墙壁和房屋突然就倒塌了。分析句子可知，这里需要动词做谓语，句子描述的是过去的事情，所以要用一般过去时，collapse“倒塌；垮塌；坍塌”是动词，符合句意。故填collapsed。【46题详解】考查谓语动词。句意：当你和你的朋友都在考虑跳伞的时候，你却用截然不同的方式察觉到了那个状况。分析句子可知，这里需要动词做谓语，句子描述的是现在的事情，所以要用一般现在时，perceive“察觉；发觉”是动词，符合句意。故填perceive。【47题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：你无法在某些情况下发挥作用——比如参加考试或者和朋友在一起社交时。分析句子可知，这里需要动词的动名词形式和前面的taking并列，做介词like的宾语，socialise“社交”是动词，符合句意。故填socialising。Ⅱ.WritingSectionA(12%)Directions:TranslatethefollowingsentencesintoEnglish,usingthewordsgiveninthebrackets.48.聆听舒缓的音乐可以帮助你减缓压力。(calming)（汉译英）【答案】Listeningtocalmingmusiccanhelpyoureducestress.【解析】【详解】考查短语和非谓语动词。listento听；calmingmusic舒缓的音乐；helpsb.dosth.帮助某人做某事；reducestress减缓压力。“聆听”作主语，应用动名词形式。情态动词can，表示“可以，能够”。故翻译为Listeningtocalmingmusiccanhelpyoureducestress.49.此外，当面对一些未知的事情时，一点勇气可以致使成功。(result)（汉译英）
