1.考查動(dòng)詞辨析及上下文的呼應(yīng)。根據(jù)“So I dreamed of being a leader”(所以我夢想成為一個(gè)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者），K可知我總是羨慕學(xué)校的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)們對(duì)我們所有人負(fù)責(zé)。A.dmired“欽佩、羨慕”符合句意。

2.考查動(dòng)詞辨析及上下文的呼應(yīng)。語境為：希望我能贏，但現(xiàn)實(shí)的打擊使我沒有機(jī)會(huì)。hopeing“希望”，符合作者想贏得選舉的心態(tài)。planning“計(jì)劃”，pretending “假裝”，judging“判斷”，均不符合文意。故選A。

3.考查動(dòng)詞辨析及上下文的呼應(yīng)。it是形式主語，真正的主語是后面的動(dòng)詞不定式：to win a school election。這里指的是贏得學(xué)校的選舉需要什么。take“需要、花費(fèi)”，符合句意。A. offered提供；B. provided提供，給予；C. meant意味，意思。故選D。

4.考查形容詞辨析及上下文的呼應(yīng)。根據(jù)上題，作者沒有贏得選舉所需要的東西，所以感到沮喪。A. concerned關(guān)心的；C. surprised驚訝的；D. angry憤怒的。均不能表達(dá)作者此時(shí)的心情。故選B. upset心煩的。

5.考查副詞辨析及上下文的呼應(yīng)。suddenly突然。句意：我突然做了一個(gè)深呼吸并決定不放棄夢想。符合作者堅(jiān)定的態(tài)度。gradually“漸漸地”，immediately“立即”，impatiently“無奈地”，不能表達(dá)作者的態(tài)度。故選Ｃ.

6.考查動(dòng)詞短語搭配及上下文的呼應(yīng)。stand for elections為固定搭配，意為：參選。語境為：我決定在我上學(xué)的最后一年重新參選---并將要在選舉中勝出。故選B.

7.考查名詞辨析及上下文的呼應(yīng)。由語境可知，該空指的是下文提到的我的競爭對(duì)手們，也就是 “competitors”(競爭對(duì)手）。句意：我意識(shí)到我的競爭對(duì)手有很多事情戰(zhàn)友優(yōu)勢。classmates “同班同學(xué)”，enemies“敵人”，schoolmates“同學(xué)”，均不符合。故選A.

8.考查名詞辨析及上下文的呼應(yīng)。這里承接上文，意思是：我有優(yōu)勢的事情是什么？ my 是“我的”。故選D。

9.考查名詞辨析及上下文的呼應(yīng)。句意：我最大的長處是我有信念。由上文的“in their favor ，in my favor”可知，這里談?wù)摰氖莾?yōu)勢，所以選strength，意為“長處”。problem“問題”，worry“擔(dān)心”， dream“夢想”，均不符合文意。故選B。

10.考查形容詞辨析及上下文的呼應(yīng)。作者不想讓自己普通的的外表阻礙自己將最好的一面展現(xiàn)出來。plain“普通的”。 作者在列舉長處時(shí)，沒有提到自己的相貌。由此可以推知，她的相貌應(yīng)該不占優(yōu)勢，由此可知她不想讓自己的外表阻礙自己將最好的一面展現(xiàn)出來。此處是hold......back結(jié)構(gòu)，故答案為D。

11.考查動(dòng)詞辨析及上下文的呼應(yīng)。分析完優(yōu)勢后，作者開始著手預(yù)先制定自己的選舉計(jì)劃。A.began“開始；著手于”。符合題意.

14.考查名詞辨析及上下文的呼應(yīng)。由下文的“public speaking”可知答案 “election speech”(選舉演講）。句意：為了學(xué)會(huì)在一個(gè)大型的演講中如何表現(xiàn)自己，我還參加了一個(gè)高效公共演講的培訓(xùn)。A. capsule膠囊，概要的；C. meeting會(huì)議；D. promise許諾，承諾；均不符合題意，故答案選B. speech演講。

     Growing up in Philadelphia, Lieberman started cooking with his stay-at-home dad when he was seven. His food-loving family had two kitchens, and he quickly learned what was the best way to bake his cakes. Lieberman improved his kitchen skills greatly during a year abroad before college, learning from a cook in Italy and studying local specialties(特色菜) in Germany, Spain, and France.

     At Yale, he was known for throwing dinner parties, single-handedly frying and baking while mixing drinks for dozens of friends. Just for fun, he and some friends decided to tape a show named campus cuisine about his cooking. Lieberman was a real college student showing his classmates how to do things like making drinks out of dining-hall fruit. That helped the show become very popular among the students. They would stop Lieberman after classes to ask for his advice on cooking. Tapes of the show were passed around, with which his name went beyond the school and finally to the Food Network.

     Food Network producer Flay hopes the young cook will find a place on the network television. He says Lieberman’s charisma is key. “Food TV isn’t about food anymore,” says Flay. “It’s about your personality and finding a way to keep people’s eyeballs on your show.”

     But Lieberman isn’t putting all his eggs in one basket. After taping the first season of the new show, Lieberman was back in his own small kitchen preparing sandwiches. An airline company was looking for someone to come up with a tasteful, inexpensive and easy- to-make menu to serve on its flights. Lieberman got the job.

The summer I was ten, my mother decided to bring us to the world of art. My brother and I were not very excited when we realized what my mother meant. What she meant was that we would have to spend one afternoon a week with her at the Fine Arts Museum. Before each visit to the museum, she made us read about artists and painting styles. It was almost as bad as being in school. Who wants to spend the summer thinking about artists when you could be with your friends at the swimming pool?

     First we had to read about ancient Egyptians and their strange way of painting faces and then go to look at them at the museum. My 12-year-old brother thought this was so funny, but I was not interested. Later we had to learn about artists in the Middle Ages who painted people wearing strange long clothing. We had to look at pictures of fat babies with wings and curly (鬈曲的) hair and with no clothes on flying around the edges of paintings. I certainly couldn't see what was so great about art.

     On our last visit to the museum, something happened when I saw a painting by a woman called Mary. In it, a woman was reading to a child. The colors were soft and gentle, and you could tell by the mother' s expression how happy she was just to be with the child. I couldn't stop looking at this painting ! I wanted to see every painting Mary had ever made! It was really worth looking at so many paintings to find a painter who could interest me so much.

The aim of the mother' s plan was to _________.

  A. take them to visit the museum              B. introduce them to the world of art

  C. ask them to read about artists               D. show them different painting styles

What was the writer' s experience in the museum before the last visit?

  A. She came to feel her mother' s love.   B. She liked many paintings.

  C. She hardly enjoyed herself.             D. She could understand the pictures of fat babies.

What made the writer go through a change that summer?

  A. One of Mary's paintings.           B. A strange way of painting.

  C. Artists in the Middle Ages.          D. Her mother' s instruction.

From the text, we can see _________.

Have you ever stayed in a hotel? Most Chinese hotels often provide guests with things like disposable (一次性的) toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and slippers. Many guests like the idea because they don't have to bring their own. But, if you travel to Beijing, remember to bring your own things. Starting from June, some hotels in Beijing will no longer provide guests with these disposables. They want to ask people to use less disposable things.

Many disposable things are made of plastic. People throw them away after only using them once. It is a waste of natural resources and is very bad for the environment. Do you know, one Chinese person makes as much as 400kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things. In Beijing, people throw away about 19,000 tons of plastic bags and 1,320 tons of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down. So the less plastic we throw out, the better. So, wherever you travel, bring your own things and use them again and again.

Back at home and school, you can also do something to make our world a better place. Try to do these things in your daily life:  Use cloth shopping bags, not plastic ones. After using a plastic bag, wash it out and let it dry. Then you can use it over and over again. Do not use paper cups. At your school canteen（食堂）, use your own bowl and chopsticks instead of disposable ones.

People in Britain often talk about their homes: their mortgages (按揭), the interest rates, and rising prices. Here’s a guide to some of the words and phrases you might come across.

        It’s a good idea in the UK to arrange a mortgage with a bank before you start looking. This is when the bank tells you how much money they will lend you so you have a good idea of how much you can afford.

        The next step is to go to an estate agent and see what sort of properties they have available in your budget range and in your area. If you see something you like, the estate agent will arrange for you to view the property, so that you can see the house or flat for yourself.

        If you see something that takes your eye, you put in an offer. The vendor (賣家) can accept or decline this offer, and if the vendor accepts it, you can move forward with the sale. However, as you don’t pay any money at this point, the offer isn’t legally binding (具有約束力), and in theory, you can pull out of the offer at any time that you like.

        Your next step will probably be to get a structural survey done. A qualified surveyor will inspect the house and write a report that illustrates any structural problems, like damp or drainage problems.

        If you still want to go ahead with the sale, you need to appoint a lawyer to do the legal paperwork, if you already own a house you might also be busy trying to sell it Many house owners prefer to sell to first-time buyers (those people who don’t already own a home), as they are not in a chain (waiting for other people to buyer house before they can buy their next house).

        Finally, once the contracts are signed and exchanged, you complete on your house. You get the keys and you can move in whenever you want. Then you might want to throw a house-warming party. Congratulation!

Which of the following shows the right order of what happens before the people in the UK move into a new house?

      a. ask for a company which represents others of properties

      b. decide how much to borrow from the bank

      c. examine the structure of the house

      d. hire a lawyer and make a contract

      e. offer the seller the right money

      f. visit the house and discuss a price with the seller

       A. b, a, f, d, c, e                                B. b, a, f, e, d, c

C. b, a, f, c, d, e                                     D. b, f, d, e, c, a

According to the passage, these statements are correct EXCEPT ___________.

       A. After getting the keys, the owners sometimes have a party.

       B. People care for mortgages, interest rates and the prices &house.

       C. The sellers are more interested in the first-time buyers.

       D. People can borrow the whole money for a new house from a bank.

Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

       A. Collectors.                             B. Owners.

C. Lawyers.                                   D. Surveyors.

The passage is maybe one that _______________.

       A. give some advice on the house         B. give some tips to buyers

       C. introduces a book on travelers         D. introduces a guide to visitors
