1．The wild flowers looked like a soft orange blanket _____ the desert．（　�。�
A．to coverB．coveredC．coverD．covering

分析 野花好似一張柔軟的桔色毯子，覆蓋了沙漠．

解答 答案 D 這里句子已經(jīng)有謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞looked like，所以空格處必須用非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞，排除C選項(xiàng)；又因?yàn)閎lanket與cover之間是主動(dòng)關(guān)系，應(yīng)該排除表示被動(dòng)的過去分詞B；to cover是表示將來，這里是同時(shí)發(fā)生，由此應(yīng)該使用現(xiàn)在分詞covering作blanket的后置定語(yǔ)，故答案為D

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本題考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的用法 難度適中．需要考生把已學(xué)的語(yǔ)法知識(shí)點(diǎn)用在這個(gè)特定的語(yǔ)境下，能夠正確理解語(yǔ)言環(huán)境．非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞是近幾年高考的熱點(diǎn)需要考生多加練習(xí)．
即學(xué)即練：He droppedthe glass，_____ it into pieces．
A．breaking    B．breaked  C．broken   D．being broken
解析：A 句意：他把杯子掉了，結(jié)果摔得粉碎．
 野花好似一張柔軟的桔色毯子，覆蓋了沙漠

9．If you were a pilot flying a plane，and suddenly the engine failed，would you eject （彈出），or stay in？For a pilot，the decision is very difficult．If he ejects，he is wise，but the plane crashes．If he stays in the plane，he risks his life．
Recently，Chinese Air Force pilot Li Feng，38，faced this situation during a training exercise．It was March 7and he was flying a Jian-10 （Fighter-10）at 4，500meters．A warning appeared on the plane's computer screen．He realized the plane might fail at any moment．
Li Feng did a quick check of the engine and asked the base if he could return．When the fighter was 7km away from the airport，however，the engine stopped working．The plane began to fall at a speed of 25meters a second from an altitude of 1，160meters．
Under Air Force rules fighter pilots may eject if their aircraft loses engine power below 2，000meters and can't be restarted．Before Li lost contact（聯(lián)系）with the control tower，the commander in the air base asked him to eject．But Li Feng insisted on having another try．
"I knew where the deadline （to abandon the aircraft） was and was prepared for the ejection，but I decided not to give up unless the fighter was totally out of control，"Li recalled during a recent television interview．
After 104seconds，Li was able to bring the fighter to a safe landing．The plane only suffered slight damage．
"You are a hero!Congratulations!"Li's teacher，Xu Yongling wrote in a text message to him after the landing．He said Li was a cool-headed pilot and very professional．
Li's brave and calm act not only saved the 200million yuan aircraft but also gave him invaluable first-hand experience of dealing with an engine emergency．
For his outstanding performance，the Air Force recently awarded him a gold medal．
5．When the engine stopped working，Li FengB．
A．saw a warning on the screen
B．was still calm and cool-headed
C．was asked to stay in but he ejected
D．was flying a Jian-10at 4，500meters
6．When a fighter loses engine power below 2，000meters and can't be restarted，A．
A．pilots may eject for safety
B．pilots must stay with the plane
C．pilots should bring it to a safe landing
D．pilots should repair it as soon as possible
7．Why didn't Li Feng give up the fighter？D
A．The base ordered him not to．
B．He wanted to get a gold medal．
C．He would like to prove his skills．
D．The plane wasn't totally out of control．
8．What can be a suitable title for the text？C
A．Flying the Fighter Correctly
B．When to Abandon the Aircraft
C．Bringing the Fighter to a Safe Landing
D．How to Deal with an Engine Emergency．

9．As a senior，my future is always on my mind．To be exact，thoughts of the future have kept me up countless nights and made me worry enough to do poorly on more than one test．Because of this，words of wisdom are a source of comfort．Steve Jobs once gave a speech to Stanford's graduating class in 2005and his words resound repeatedly in my mind whenever I think about my future．
When I hear Jobs discuss his life as a student，some of my fears were eased．He，too，felt the need to attend college to make something of himself．He faced what many are extremely afraid of：uncertainty．His lack of understanding caused him to stop attending college and focus on what he felt was important．His story had a happy ending，of course，since he certainly turned out well．This doesn't mean that students shouldn't attend college，but rather that they shouldn't worry so much．
Jobs talked about the hardships in his work．His love of his work helped him carry on and he got where he was meant to be，which restates the point：don't panic．
One particular part of his speech stayed with me．Steve Jobs quoted（引用）the saying"Stay hungry，stay foolish"and it has become my motto．Staying foolish is realizing that you are still a fool，no matter how much you've learned or experienced．There is always more to explore．Staying hungry is wanting to find those things about which you are still uneducated．
Steve Jobs's level of success is attainable，and I aim to prove that．With the will power to go into the world living every day like it's my last and allowing the future to take care of itself，I will do great things．In the last moments of my life，I'll be proud of what I have done and hope to have all the wisdom a person could wish for．

56．The author felt worried whenB．
A．he had to take tests at school
B．he thought about his future
C．he had lots of sleepless nights
D．he searched for words of wisdom
57．It is suggested in first two paragraphs thatD．
A．Steve Jobs didn't attend college at all
B．Steve Jobs failed because of his decision
C．the author once discussed life with Jobs
D．Jobs'speech influenced the author greatly
58．What did the author gain from Jobs's speech？C
A．Courage to drop out of school．
B．Confidence in defeating Jobs．
C．Bravery to face uncertainties．
D．Interest in computer industry．
59．What did NOT Steve Jobs encourage students to do in his speech？B
A．Have the desire to learn more．
B．Be content with what they know．
C．Stay calm in the face of hardships．
D．Be modest so as to learn more．
60．The passage is mainly aboutA．
A．the wisdom drawn from a speech
B．the most impressive quotation in life
C．a(chǎn) memorable meeting with Jobs

13．I cannot speak Spanish．It is a fact that becomes extremely obvious whenever I visit my mother because she lives in Argentina，but before sophomore（大二） year，she lived in Puerto Rico．When I was a child，I went to Puerto Rico every summer．We lived in a villa on the grounds of the Westin Rio Mar and had family in the small town of Rio Grande．My lack of Spanish skills was met with a mixture of disdain（蔑視） and fascination at the fact that I was a"unilingual"American．Though I explained to them that I studied French，it did little to convince them．
After months of pleading（哀求） for a vacation in a French-speaking country，we went to the Canadian province of Quebec．I was looking forward to the role-reversal（角色轉(zhuǎn)換）； for once，I would be the bilingual traveler and my mother would be the"Ugly American．"To my surprise，she transitioned（轉(zhuǎn)換） almost seamlessly（無(wú)縫），using her broken French as a jumping off point to start conversations．In doing so，she met many people who were eager for a chance to converse in English with a native speaker．
Her ability to connect with others confused me．I did not understand how she could relate to them so easily，that is until I went to Ghana．Though I worked during the day，I was able to spend quality time with the girls attending the Nsaba Diaspora School，a recently built single-sex school in a rural village．They were in the process of learning English and I cannot speak Twi （their language），but we connected immediately．They took me to their classes，showed me the village and worked math problems with me on a chalkboard so we could compare problem-solving methods．
What brought us together was a shared desire to relate to each other and to experience life from another viewpoint．What I took away from that experience was that language does not have to function as a barrier if both sides are willing to look past linguistic differences and acknowledge shared humanity（人性）．
28．How did the author feel when he couldn't speak Spanish while in Puerto RicoB
A．Satisfied          
B．unhappy         
C．Hopeful        
D．Fascinated
29．Why did the author want to have a vacation in a French-speaking country？A
A．To demonstrate that he was also bilingual so he could save face．
B．To practice speaking French．
C．To show that her mother was also fluent in French．
D．To show his ability to communicate with people with language barrier．
30．When did he begin to understand his mother's ability to connect with others？C
A．When he was travelling in Quebec
B．When he was living in Puerto Rico
C．When he was in Ghana
D．When he was a sophomore
31．What's the purpose of writing this article？A
A．To explain that language barrier is not a problem if we are willing to share．
B．To show us how to live in a foreign country．
C．To introduce foreign cultures．
D．To demonstrate that we have to fight back if we lose our face．

17．Surprises often come in boxes．Birthday presents wrapped in colorful paper，brown paper packages mailed from a friend．No matter what kind of box it is，people like to open it up and see what's inside．In America，and in many other countries，one special kind of box contains the future．It's called a ballot box．What people put into the box on election day can change the course of history．
Elections are the lifeblood of a democracy．The word democracy literally means"the people rule，"an important concept in American history．In the mid-1700s，England began passing laws that made the American colonies angry．The colonists had to pay more and more taxes and enjoyed less and less freedom．They felt the government of England didn't represent their interests．On July 4，1776，the colonies declared their independence from England．They wanted to establish a democracy where people could have a voice in government．
An effective democracy holds regular elections．In America，elections are held every two years for members of Congress．In these elections，all seats in the House of Representatives and one-third of the Senate seats are up for grabs．In addition，every four years，voters go to the polls to elect the nation's president and vice-president．Voters also regularly cast their ballots for state and city government leaders and local school board members．Sometimes they also have to vote on a proposed law．
In the American electoral system，people don't really vote for presidential candidates．Instead，voters cast their ballots for"electors"who support each candidate．Each state has as many electors as the total number of its representatives in Congress．This equals two senators per state plus the number of its representatives in the House （which is based on the state's population）．The candidate who has the most votes in a state wins all of the state's electors．To win the presidential election，a candidate must gain at least 270 of the 538 total electoral votes．
Over the years，the U．S．has made a number of election reforms．Some early reforms outlawed cheating，giving bribes and threatening voters．They also limited the amount of money candidates could receive from donors and spend on their campaigns．In 1870，black people gained the right to vote，and in 1920，that right was extended to women．In recent decades，laws against unfair rules for voting have been passed．No longer do people have to pay a special tax or pass a test in order to vote．In 1971，the voting age was lowered to 18．Other reforms made voting easier for the blind，the disabled and people who couldn't read．In some areas，ballots had to be printed in languages besides English．
In November，Americans will again elect those who will represent them in government．Although some citizens aren't even registered to vote--and some registered voters don't bother to go to the polls--most Americans exercise their right to vote．They realize that their future is wrapped up in a special package--the ballot box．It's a package that must definitely be"handled with care"．

41．According to the context，what does a"ballot box"mean in Chinese？B
A．彩票箱        
B．投票箱          
C．禮品箱          
D．保險(xiǎn)箱
42．Democracy means thatD．
A．People couldn't have a voice in a government．
B．In America，elections are held every four years for members of Congress．
C．Democracy is the lifeblood of elections．
D．Basically"the people rule"，and it's very important in American history．
43．How will the votes distributed if Romney got 20 votes while Obama received 17 votes in California in the election？C
A．Romney will win 20 votes in California．
B．Obama will win 20 votes in California．
C．Romney will win 37 votes in California．
D．Obama will win 37 votes in California．
44．Which one is RIGHT about election reforms？C
A．People have to pay a special tax to vote．
B．There are bribes and threatening in elections now．
C．People above eighteen years old can vote now．
D．The disabled or the blind have tough access to voting．
45．What's the main idea of this passage？B
A．Birthday boxes in the U．S．
B．Election systems in the U．S．
C．Election reforms in the U．S．
D．Democracy in the U．S．
