Pets for the English  For the English people, keeping pets is not just a leisure activity. 26   In fact, the expression “keeping pets” does not show the high status of their animals.An Englishman’s home may be his castle, but his dog is the real king.
  Many other cultures have pets.The Americans may oudivo (超过)the English in buying expensive things for their pets. 27   Their pets are more than symbols of status.They tend to be far more open, easy and communicative in their relationships with their animals than with each other.
  The average Englishman will divy hard to avoid communication with his fellow humans. 28  But he will have no difficulty in having lively conversations with a dog.
  An American visitor had once suffered for a week as a guest in a fairly typical English home. 29   The owner of the dogs engaged them in non-stop chat and laughed lovingly at their misbehaviors.She complained that the owner’s relationship with these pets was “abnormal” and “unhealthy”.
  The English are allowed to criticize their own pets.But this must be done in friendly and joking tones. 30   They may lovingly talk about the items their dogs have eaten or desdivoyed.“It wasn’t just shoes and ordinary things, mine used to eat mobile phones.” “Well, mine chewed a whole Hi-Fi system to bits!”
答案: 【文章导读】文章主要介绍了在英国文化里,英国人是怎样与宠物相处的、宠物的地位以及在对待宠物方面,英国文化与其他文化的区别。
  26.A  根据此空上文提到,对于英国人,养宠物不仅是一项休闲活动。由此可推断此空与上文是语意递进的关系。A项意为:它是整个生活的一种方式。此项符合语境推理,故选A。
  27.C  此空上文提到,美国人可能会比英国人花费更多在为宠物添置昂贵物品。下文又说到,他们的宠物不仅仅是地位的象征。此处可与第一段最后一句话(An Englishman’s home may be his castle, but his dog is the real king.)相呼应。由此可知,该空下文中的“他们”指的是“Englishmen”。所以该空应选择一个将话题从美国人转至英国人的句子,C项意为:但是英国人和动物的关系又不一样。C项符合逻辑,故选C。
  28.F  根据该空上文“一般的英国人会尽量避免和人交流。下文又说到:但是他和狗的互动是完全没有障碍的”可知,此段中会提到英国人和人交流时,会有某些障碍。F项意为:当他无法避免的时候,通常会变得紧张。结合“avoid”等词的提醒,可知应选F .
  29.B  根据此空上文:美国人去到一个典型的英国家庭做客。后文提到一些狗主人和狗的互动。由此可推出要想使句意合乎逻辑,中间会要提到该英国主人家的狗。B项意为:两条大狗统治着这个家。B项符合文意,故选b .
  30.D  根据此空下文:英国人会充满爱意地跟别人谈论起自家的宠物狗吃掉了或者是损坏了他们的物品。由此语境可推断出他们对宠物的捣蛋并不生气,相反还引以为傲。D项意为:实际上,他们经常为自家宠物的调皮行为感到自豪。D项与文意一致,故选D。
3.下面的短文有10处空白,短文后列出12个词,其中10个取自短文,请根据短文内容将其分别放回原有位置,以恢复文章原貌,并在答题卡相应位置上将答案选项涂黑。

46)beautiful  句意:一些人认为涂鸦违法,另一些人却认为这是一种很美的文化形式。分析句子结构,因为形容词作定语修饰名词(form),此空该填一个形容词。名词“beauty(美,美人)”的形容词形式为“beautiful(美丽的)”,故此空填beautiful。
47)movement  句意:艺术专家称这场运动始于20世纪60年代的纽约。分析句子结构可知,此空应填入一个名词充当宾语从句中的主语。动词“move(移动)”的名词形式是“movement(运动)”,故该空填movement。
48)sprayed  句意:年轻人在墙上和火车上喷涂文字和其他图形。根据该段“in the 1960s”时间状语的提示,此句中时态应为过去式,spray(喷涂,喷射)的过去时形式为“sprayed”,故该空填sprayed。
49)colorful  句意:这种色彩斑斓、朝气蓬勃的创作风格被称作涂鸦。分析句子可知,此处应填一个形容词和“energetic”构成并列一起修饰“writing of style”。名词color(颜色)的形容词形式为“colorful(多彩的)”,故该空填colorful。
50)known  句意参考上一题。be/become known as意为“被称作……,被认为是……”,为固定搭配,“known”为动词“know(知道)”的过去分词形式。此句结合语意,故填known。

二、第一部分——阅读选择 (每题2分,共10分)
1.下面的短文后列出了10个句子,请根据短文的内容对每个句子作出判断:如果该句提供的是正确信息,选择A;如果该句提供的是错误信息,选择B;如果该句的信息文中没有提及,选择C。在答题卡相应位置上将答案选项涂黑。
The Truth about Left-Handed People  About 90% of people in the world today are right-handed.The other 10% are left-handed, including Obama, the President of the US.Every day, left-handed folks quietly face problems.It could be something as simple as driving a car or using a can opener.
Why are so few of us left-handed? One theory is that handedness (hand preference) could be a result of genetics.Scientists say that there are two genes (基因) associated with handedness.One is the D gene.It is more frequent in the population and promotes (促成) right-hand preference.The other is the C gene.It has the ability to promote a preference for either hand.When the C gene is present, there is a 50% chance that a person could be right- or left-handed.
Another theory has to do with human brains, which are made up of two halves.If the left half is more powerful, then one is most likely right-handed.But with left-handers, it is more complicated.Seventy percent of them are also left-brain dominant (占优势的).The other 30% have right-side dominant brains.
During the 18th and 19th centuries, left-handedness was considered a disability.But not all of the myths about left-handers are bad.One myth suggests that they are more creative and smarter than the right-handers.So far scientific research has yet to find any divuth to these claims.In fact, a 2013 survey out of New Zealand found that left-handers and right-handers were the same.
Life might be a little more complicated for left-handers when it comes to cutting a piece of paper or opening a bottle of wine.However, it seems to be a good sign if you are divying to make it to the White House.

(6).In the 19th century, left-handedness was no longer considered abnormal.
