1._______ caused the accident has not been found out yet.
A. What B. Which
C. The thing D. That
【谜底】A
【详解】查核主语从句。句意:构成紊乱的缘由没有查明。此处为主语从句,从句中短少主语,应当用what辅导,故A项精确。
2. She found her calculator _____ she lost it.
A. where B. when C. in which D. that
【谜底】A
略
3.I have no doubt _______ he’ll come to our help if we call him.
A. whether B. if
C. that D. when
【谜底】C
【详解】查核同位语从句。句意:如果咱们打电+话给他,我信赖他必定会来协助咱们的。分析语句规划可知此处为同位语从句,从句规划齐备,用that只起辅导感染,不作任何成份,抵偿阐明doubt的内容,故C项精确。
4.Boys, please don’t talk about such things _______ you don’t understand at all.
A. that B. as
C. which D. what
【谜底】B
【详解】查核定语从句。句意:孩子们,请不要谈论争辩你们根柢不理解的事端。分析语句规划可知本句为定语从句,先行词things前有such润饰,用纠葛代词as辅导这个定语从句,故B项精确。
【点睛】本题很简略误选A项,构成such…that…句型,但that辅导的是作用状语从句,显着逻辑不通畅,实际上本题查核的是定语中的一个特别用法:抢先行词前面有such, so, as many, as much等润饰的时辰,后边的纠葛代词使用as,本题中先行词前有such润饰,纠葛代词as指代先行词在从句中作understand的宾语。

8.My father thinks I am not capable _______ my own living, but I mean _______ him that he is wrong.
A. to earn, to show B. of earning, showing
C. of earning, to show D. in earning, to show
【谜底】C

Ⅲ. Reading Comprehension(30分)
SectionA(15分)
Directions:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
President Obama’s second Inaugural Address used soaring language to stress America’s co小妹itment to the dream of equality of opportunity: ‘We are true to our belief that a little girl born into ___31___ knows that she has the same chance to succeed as anybody else, because she is an American’.
The gap between ideal and reality could hardly be ___32___ . Today, the United States has less equality of opportunity than almost any other advanced industrial country. Study after study has ___33___ the myth that America is a land of opportunity. A way of looking at equality of opportunity is to as to what extent the life chances of a child are ___34___ the education and income of his parents. Is it just as likely that a child of poor or poorly educated parents gets a good education and rises to the middle class as someone born to middle-class parents with college degrees? Even in a more democratic society. the answer would be no.
How do we explain this? Some of it has to do with discrimination (小看). Latinos and African-Americans still get paid less than whites, and women still get paid less than men, ___35___ they recently surpassed (超出)men in the number of advanced degrees they obtain. Discrimination, however, is only a small part of the ___36___. Probably the most important reason for ___37___ of equality of opportunity is education. After World WarⅡ, we made a major effort to ___38___ higher education to Americans across the country. But then we changed, in several ways. While racial segregation(种族阻隔)decreased, economic segregation increased. After 1980, the poor grew poorer, the middle stagnated(故步自封), and the top did better and better. A result was a widening gap in educational performance – the ___39___ gap between rich and poor kids born in 2001 was 30 to 40 percent larger than it was for those born 25 years earlier, a Stanford sociologist found. Of course, there are other forces ___40___ . Children in rich families get more exposure to reading. Their families can afford enriching experiences like music lessons and su小妹er camp. They get better nutrition and health care, which enhance their learning, directly and indirectly.
Now Americans are coming to realize that without extensive policy changes, their long cherished belief is only a myth. It is unreasonable that a rich country like the United States has made ___41___ to higher education so difficult for those at the bottom and middle. There are many ___42___ ways of providing chances for more to receive higher education, from Australia’s income-contingent loan program to the near-free system of universities in Europe. A more educated population produces greater innovation, and a booming economy. Those benefits are why we’ve long been ___43___ to free public education through 12th grade. But while a 12th-grade education might have been enough a century ago, it isn’t today. Yet we haven’t ___44___ our system to contemporary realities.
The steps I’ve outlined are not just affordable but necessary. Even more important, though, is that we cannot afford to let our country drift farther from ___45___ that the vast majority of Americans share. We will never fully succeed in achieving Mr. Obama’s vision of a poor girl’s having exactly the same opportunities as a wealthy girl. But we could do much, much better, and must not rest until we do.

SectionB(11分)
Directions: Read the following four passage. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
There are two factors which determine an individual’s intelligence. The first is the sort of brain he is born with. Human brains differ considerably, some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the individual --- the sort of environment in which he is raised. If an individual is handicapped environmentally, it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never get to the level of intelligence of which he is capable.
The importance of environment in determining an individual’s intelligence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins, Peter and Mark. Being identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, and their growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separate foster homes. Peter was brought up by parents of low intelligence in an isolated co小妹unity with poor educational opportunities. Mark was brought up in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college. He was read to as a child, sent to good schools, and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually. This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were given tests to measure their intelligence. Mark’s I.Q. was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother. Given equal opportunities, the twins, having identical brains, would have tested at roughly the same level.
46. This selection can best be titled_______.
A. Measuring Your Intelligence B. Intelligence and Environment
C. The Case of Peter and Mark D. How the brain Influences Intelligence
47. The best statement of the main idea of this passage is that _______.
A. human brains differ considerably
B. the brain a person is born with is important in determining his intelligence
C. environment is crucial in determining a person’s intelligence
D. person having identical brains will have roughly the same intelligence
48. The case history of the twins appears to support the conclusion that _______.
A. individual with identical brains seldom test at same level
B. an individual’s intelligence is determined only by his environment
C. lack of opportunity blocks the growth of intelligence
D. changes of environment produce changes in the structure of the brain
49. This passage suggests that an individual’s I.Q._______.
A. can be predicted at birth B. stays the same throughout his life
C. can be increased by education D. is determined by his childhood
【谜底】46. B 47. C 48. C 49. C
【分析】
这篇文章是一篇阐明文,介绍了智力和情况的纠葛,相同智力程度的人,情况和教训纷歧样,智商也会有很大的不合。
【46题详解】
大旨粗心题。依照第一段中的“So the second factor is what happens to the individual --- the sort of environment in which he is raised.”可知,这篇文章重要介绍了智力和情况的纠葛,故B项精确。
【47题详解】

【48题详解】
推理决断题。依照最终一段中的“Given equal opportunities, the twins, having identical brains, would have tested at roughly the same level”可知,如果机缘对等,这对具有不异智力程度的双胞胎,查验作用将大致不异,由此可知,短少机缘阻止智力的生长,故C项精确。
【49题详解】
推理决断题。依照第二段中的“Mark was brought up in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college. He was read to as a child, sent to good schools, and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually.”可知,马克在上过大学的丰饶家庭长大,小常常常听故事,被送到好的黉舍念书,并被给以各类机缘去激起他的智力,最终的智商查验表达马克的智商远高于他的孪生兄弟彼得,由此可知,一小我的智商可以经由进程教训前进,故C项精确。
【点睛】大旨粗心题的难度较大,捉住文章主题是关头。比方本篇第1题,依照第一段中的“So the second factor is what happens to the individual --- the sort of environment in which he is raised.”可知影响智力的第二个身分是他打开的情况,再连系第二段第一句“The importance of environment in determining an individual’s intelligence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins, Peter and Mark.”可知,双胞胎Peter 和Mark受不合的情况的影响,最终智力程度也不合是@情%3XNVK%况对决%1it24%议@一小我智力的首要性的最佳证明,由此可知,这篇文章重要介绍的是智力和情况的纠葛。

Teachers are conditioned to tolerate a lot of bad treatment—it’s a professional suffering—but what teachers at Sir G.E. Cartier Elementary School in London went through last spring seems beyond the call of duty: a few of them agreed to be tied to a rail in the gym while students hit them in the face with cream pies. Why on earth would they do that? To raise $3,000 – enough cash for an interactive whiteboard, the most desirable piece of educational technology on the market right now. These Internet-age boards are essentially giant computer touchscreens, and they are all the fashion in schools. But with little room for them in school budgets, many educators are doing whatever it takes to raise the money themselves. “We are a desperate breed, aren’t we?” says Sharon Zinn, one of three teachers who volunteered for Cartier Elementary’s whipped- cream-flavored activity.
At schools fortunate enough to have them, interactive-white boards are a blessing for educators struggling to attract a generation of students who got accustomed to using the Web from the early age. In the UK—where 70 percent of all primary and secondary classrooms have interactive whiteboards, compared with just 16 percent in the United States – students in those classrooms made the equivalent of five mouths’ additional progress in math. So far, the data on the efficacy (有用性)of touchscreens in US classrooms is inconclusive, but promising. Multiple recent studies suggest that the devices advance attendance rates and classroom participation. Ever since Dorchester School District 2 in Su小妹erville installed 1,200 interactive boards in its classrooms, disciplinary incidents are cut down. “Students were bored” before the touchscreens arrived, says Superintendent Joe Pye.” Trips to the principal’s office are almost nonexistent now.”
