18.The boss          the employees a rise in salary for ages,but nothing has occurred yet.(  )
A.promisedB.had promisedC.would promiseD.promises

分析 老板答应雇员们长时间加薪,但是什么事也没有发生.

解答 A 考查时态.老板给员工的承若在先,到目前为止还没有兑现,可以推断承若是在过去,所以用过去时promised;B是过去完成时"过去的过去";C是过去将来时,所以答案选A.

点评 动词时态的考点是近几年高考试题考查的重中之重.各地高考试题对动词时态的考查越来越侧重于语境化、交际化的理解,这加大了试题的难度,没有明确的时间状语,这就要求考生对句子的语境进行正确的判断,从而选出正确的时态.

15.Although Paris is often considered the city of romance,close to a million adults who call it home are single.Many single people say that France's capital is one of the most difficult places to meet people.The complaints of this lonely group have inspired a new phenomenon known as"supermarket dating".At Galerie Lafayette Gourmet,singles can shop for more than just the items on their grocery list.They can look for someone who has blue eyes,brown hair,and is 1.8meters tall,or whatever may be on their romantic shopping list.
At this Paris location,single people of all ages can schedule their shopping for Thursday nights between 6:30and 9:00p.m.When they walk through the door,they pick up a purple basket to advise that they are looking for love.They try to arrive early because the baskets disappear quickly,and then they have to wait in line for their turn to wander the store aisles.

13.Importance of College Education
During the high school career,students may begin to question the importance of a college education.They might find themselves asking,"Why is it important to go to college?"The answer is that,more than ever,college graduates enjoy much greater opportunities available to them than those who have not received a college education.
For many high school students,being able to immediately generate an income after graduation is an appealing thought.They may also be affected by the rising cost of tuition,and while it is true that a higher education may be one of the largest expenses you will ever face,the importance of a college education has become quite evident in terms of earning potential within today's economy.
Why should you go to college?One important answer to this question is more opportunity.As opposed to generations of the past,high school graduates today are unable to obtain high-paying jobs that were once available.The U.S.has been transformed from a manufacturing-based economy to an economy based on knowledge,and the importance of a college education today can be compared to that of a high school education forty years ago.It serves as the gateway to better options and more opportunity.
There are additional reasons as to why it is important to go to college.When students experience a post secondary education,they have the opportunity to read books and listen to the lectures of top experts in their fields.This encourages students to think,ask questions,and explore new ideas,which allows for additional growth and development and provides college graduates with more opportunities in the job market over those who have not experienced a higher education.
The importance of a college education is also stressed because of the opportunity to gain valuable resources during the study.The more connections which are collected during your college career,the more options you will have when you begin your job search.Once you have ended your job search and have started your career,however,the importance of a college education has not been exhausted.Having a college degree often provides for greater promotion opportunity.
So,why should you go to college?The reasoning does not begin and end with the job aspect.A good education is beneficial from many different viewpoints,and though the importance of a college education is quite evident for many high school students,what is often not as clear is how they will pay for that education.

67.Why do some high school graduates prefer working to college study?B
A.To obtain high-paying jobs.
B.To earn money at an early age.
C.To spend less money on tuition.
D.To adapt to the knowledge-based society.
68.The author most likely agrees with the idea thatC.
A.too much time is spent on lectures in college study.
B.high school education is a gateway to more opportunity.
C.college graduates gain more chances over others in job market.
D.a college degree guarantees promotion in American companies.
69.What is most likely to be talked about in the paragraph after the last paragraph of the passage?A
A.Affording college education.
B.Changing college education.
C.Receiving college education.
D.Refusing college education.
70.Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?D

A lot of overachievers develop perfectionist tendencies at a young age when demands on their time arc limited to school,hobbies and maybe an after-school job.It's easier to maintain that perfectionist habit as a kid,but as you grow up,life gels more complicated.As you climb the ladder at work and as your family grows,your responsibilities increase rapidly.Perfectionism becomes out of reach and if that habit is left unchecked,it can become harmful.
The key to avoid burning out is to let go of perfectionism.As life gets more expanded it's very hard to keep that habit of perfection going.The healthier option is to work hard not for perfection,but for excellence.
From telecommuting to programmes that make work easier,technology has helped our lives in many ways.But it has also created expectations of constant accessibility.The workday never seems to end.There are times when you should just shut your phone off and enjoy the momcnl.Official instructions over the phone interrupt your off time and add stress to your system.So don't text at your kid's soccer game and don't send work e-mails while you're hanging out with family.By not reacting to the updates from work,you will developing a stronger habit of resilience(弹性).Resilient people feel a greater sense of control over their lives while reactive people have less control and arc more likely to get stressed.
Even when we're busy,we make time for the crucial things in life.We eat.We go to the bathroom.We sleep.And yet one of our most crucial needs-exercise-is often the first thing to go when our calendars fill up.Exercise is an effective stress reducer.So you should devote quite some time each week to self-care,whether it's exercise,yoga or meditation(冥想).And if you're really pressed for time,start small with deep breathing exercises during your travel to and from work,a quick five-minute meditation morning and night or replacing drinking alcohol with a healthier form of stress reduction.
These exercises require minor effort but offer major payoffs,Our autonomic nervous system includes two branches:the sympathetic nervous system(our body's stress response) and the parasympathetic nervous system (our body's rest and digest response).The key is to find something (hat you can build into your life that will activate your parasympathetic nervous system.

10.A gift of love
"Can I see my baby?"the happy new mother asked.
"我可以看看我的宝宝吗?"初为人母的她开心地问道.
When the bundle(襁褓) was nestled in her arms and she moved the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face,she suddenly breathed deeply.The doctor turned quickly and looked out the tall hospital window.The baby had been born without ears.
当裹着的婴儿放到她臂弯里,她掀开裹着婴儿的布,在看到他的小脸时,她不禁倒吸了一口气.医生快速地转过身,透过医院的高层窗户向外看去.婴儿生下来就没有耳朵.
Time proved that the baby's hearing was perfect.It was only his appearance that was spoiled.When her son rushed home from school one day and threw himself into his mother's arms,she sighed,knowing that his life was to be a succession of heartbreaks.
时间证明婴儿的听力毫无问题,只是有损他的相貌.一天,当他匆匆从学校跑回家,扑向母亲的怀抱时,她叹了口气,意识到他的生活注定会受到一连串的打击.
He cried out the tragedy."A boy,a big boy…called me a freak(畸形)."
他脱口诉说遭到的不幸:"一个男孩,一个大个子男孩…他喊我怪胎."
He grew up,handsome except for his misfortune.A favorite with his fellow students,he might have been class president,but for that.He developed a gift,a talent for literature and music.
他长大了,虽然不幸但还是长得挺帅.颇受同学的欢迎,要不是有缺陷,他很可能当了班长.他对文学和音乐很有天赋和潜质.
"But you might look the same as other young people,"his mother whispered to herself,feeling a kindness in her heart.
"但你可能会和其他年轻人一样."母亲责备地说,但从心底里觉得很欣慰.
The boy's father had a talk with the family physician…"Could nothing be done?"
男孩的父亲与家庭医生商量…"难道真无法补救吗?"
"I believe I could graft(移植) on a pair of outer ears,if they could be obtained,"the doctor decided.So the search began for a person who would make such a sacrifice for a young man.
"我认为可以移植一双外耳,如果能够找到的话."医生做了决定,于是他们开始寻求一个愿意为这个年轻人做出牺牲的人.
Two years passed through.Then,"You're going to the hospital,son.Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need.But it's a secret."said the father.
两年过去了.对儿子说,"孩子,你要住院了.我和你妈找到愿意为你捐献耳朵的人了.但要求保密."
The operation was a brilliant success,and a new person emerged.His talents blossomed into genius,and school and college became a series of triumphs.

Paragraph 2:
The years kept their profound secret,but the day did come.The years kept their profound secret,but the day did come.One of the darkest days that ever pass through a son.He stood with his father over his mother's casket(棺木).Slowly,tenderly,the father sighed and stretched forth a hand and raised the thick,reddish brown hair to reveal that the mother had no outer ears."Mother said she was glad she never let her hair be cut,"his father whispered gently,"and nobody ever thought mother less beautiful,did they?".

3.Why should mankind explore space?Why should money,time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits?Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth?These are questions that,understandably,are very often asked.
Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup as human beings.What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains,and on into all possible areas and environments?The wider the spread of a species,the better its chance of survival.Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.
Nearly every successful civilization has explored,because by doing so,any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for.Without knowledge,we may be completely destroyed by the danger.With knowledge,we can lessen its effects.
Exploration also allows minerals and other potential resources to be found.Even if we have no immediate need of them,they will perhaps be useful later.Resources may be more than physical possessions.Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration.The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives.We have already benefited from other spin-offs including improvements in earthquake prediction,in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems.Even non-stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products of technological developments in the space industry!
While many resources are spent on what seems a small return,the exploration of space allows creative,brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us.While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works,it also holds dangers.The danger exists,but knowledge can help human being to survive.Without the ability to reach out across space,the chance to save ourselves might not exist.
While Earth is the only planet known to support life,surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets.It is true that the lifestyle would be different,but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.
29.Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph l?B
A.To express his doubts.
B.To introduce points for discussion.
C.To compare different ideas.
D.To describe the conditions on Earth.
30.What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph 2?A
A.Humans are nature-born to do so.
B.Humans have the tendency to fight.
C.Humans may find new sources of food.
D.Humans don't like to stay in the same place.
31.The underlined word"spin-offs"in Paragraph 4 probably refers toC.
A.survival chances            
B.potential resources
C.unexpected benefits      
D.physical possessions
32.What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets'?B
A.Our genetic makeup.
B.The adaptive ability of'humans.
C.Resources on the earth.
D.By-products in space exploration.
