【解析】 句意：尽管牛仔裤发明于100多年前，但它们现在依然很流行。本题考查连词的用法。100年前的东西原本应该是落后于时代了，但是主句中的still in fashion与上文构成转折关系，因此C项Although正确，意思是“尽管”。A项Because表示原因。B项If表示条件。D项Since表示原因。

A. don’t give
B. aren’t given
C. haven’t given
D. won’t give
【答案】 B
【解析】 句意：许多学生没有机会在课堂上表现自己，因为课堂上人太多了。本题考查动词被动语态。主语Many students与chances之间是被动关系，学生只能是被给予机会的人，因此需用被动语态be+动词的过去分词，B项aren’tgiven正确。

【文章大意】 本文主要介绍了感冒的基本情况，其中包括感染途径、主要症状以及应对方法。
【答案及解析】
41.D 由标题可知本文主要讨论感冒（cold），而在空格所在句子之前，描述的均是感冒的症状。在第一段第五句文章又提到“Some kids have up to eight colds every year”，即一些孩子一年感冒可达八次，可知本题答案应该为D项cold。
42.A 本题考查推理判断。空格前主要是对感冒一些症状以及对人的影响的介绍，空格后是对“感冒”的详细描述以及解释，由此可知空格所在句子起到承上启下作用，A项exactly符合题意，起到加强语气的作用。代入文中意思是“那么感冒究竟是什么？”，语句通顺且符合逻辑，故答案为A项。
43.B 本题考查代词用法。空格中内容与and后内容是并列成分，语意相关。and后内容是“makesyou feel sick”，对象是第二人称，由此可知空格中内容也应是第二人称代词，B项your正确。
44.C 本题主要考察逻辑推理。空格中形容词主要形容“catch a cold”，由下文描述可知患感冒很容易，因此C项easy正确。
45.D 本题考查逻辑推理。空格所在句子主要描述患感冒的一种途径，“When someone sneezes or coughs near you, bacteria travel through theair”意思是“有人在你身旁擤鼻涕或者咳嗽，细菌就会通过空气”，细菌进入人体才能使人患病，因此D项enter正确，意为“进入”。
46.A 本句句意：如果你摸到有细菌的东西然后摸鼻子或者眼睛的时候，……学校的门或者书桌，你就可能生病。门或者书桌属于可能有细菌的物品，因此空格处应填入表示举例说明的单词，故A项like正确，意为“比如，像”。
47.D 本句主语为Some of the symptoms of a cold，宾语为a fever, a sore throat and a cough，前者包括后者，因此谓语动词应具有“包括”的意思，故D项include正确，意为“包括”。
48.C 空格后形容词watery意为“水汪汪的；泪汪汪的”，结合选项以及感冒时可能有的症状可知C项eyes正确。代入文中，句意为：“如果你打喷嚏，流鼻涕，眼睛流泪，那你可能是感冒了”，句意符合逻辑。
49.A 本句是讲感冒的后果，“feel very tired”和“don’t have much...to do anything”表示相近的意思，觉得累就会没有精力做任何事情，因此A项energy正确，意思是“精力”。
50.D 本题考查了动词词义辨析。感冒是一种经历，D项experience符合题意，意思是“经历”。A项do对象一般是某种事情，不能为感冒。B项make意思是“制作”，对象也不能为感冒，感冒是自然而然发生的。C项pass意思是“通过，经过”一般指从某种物体旁走过，或者超越某种标准，如考试。
51.B 空格后主要介绍了缓解感冒症状的措施，这样能让人感觉好一些，空格所在句子起到概括作用，因此B项better符合题意。
52.C 本句句意：你应该喝些热饮……你嗓子疼，咳嗽。空格处应该填入一个连词表明两个从句之间的逻辑关系。“嗓子疼，咳嗽”是“喝热饮”的条件，因此此处应填入表示条件的连词，故C项if正确，意为“如果”。
53.A 当人感冒时，就要注意饮食和休息，以增强身体抵抗力，有助于免疫系统击败感冒病毒，因此此处需填C项fight，意思是“抵抗（疾病）”。
54.B 由空格后take some medicine可知空格处应填入B项doctor。本句句意是“如果发烧，几天内不好转的情况下，应该去看医生，抓药”。visit a doctor是固定搭配，意思是“看医生”。
55.A 空格前讲“A cold can be frustrating”意思是“感冒让人很不舒服”，空格后讲“just remember that there are many things you can do to feel better”即“记住你可以做许多事让自己感觉好一些”，两者形成转折关系，因此空格处需填入表示转折意思的连词，故选A项but。
B）请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从方框中所给的词中选出最恰当的10个填空。每个词限用一次。（每小题1分）
Deal with Conflict (冲突)
Losing friends is aboutas easy as making friends if you don’t know how to deal with anger andconflict. Conflict is part of everyone’s 56 . It willshow up at school, at work and at home. It’s OK to feel angry, annoyed or sad.These feelings are 57 , but different people deal with 58 in different ways. Some people shout, callpeople names, or even hit the person who has 59 them. Others do their best to keep awayfrom disagreements but very few deal with conflict 60 .
Dealing with conflict isa step by step process (过程). 61 you start discussing the problem, calm down, count to 10 and imaginea relaxing 62 .Then, say what is really bothering you,but watch how you express yourself. Don’t complain. Share 63 you feel by using “I...”. For example, don’t say “You are alwaysordering me to do this or to do that,” but “I feel sad 64 you don’t pay attention to what Ithink.”
You want people to 65 your opinion so make sure you practice what you want to say.Listen carefully to the other person and accept that he or she might see theproblem in a different way. Be open-minded and willing to say sorry.
【文章大意】 本文主要介绍如何应对冲突。面临冲突时，首先应冷静，然后尝试换个角度说话，要开放性地对待问题，并勇于道歉。
【答案及解析】
56． 1ife
空格前为代词的所有格，因此空格处缺少一个名词。方框中名词只有place和life，若将place代入文中，逻辑不通顺，若将life代入文中，则语义明确，逻辑通顺，意思是“所有人的生活中都充满矛盾”，因此选择life。
57.natural
定位至第一段第五句，主语为“These feelings”谓语为“are”，空格处可以是名词或者形容词，若将剩余名词place代入文中，意思不合适。形容词只有natural和hurt。hurt意思是“伤心的；（肉体）受伤的”不适合形容这些情绪。因此只能选择natural，将其代入文中，意思是“这些情绪都是自然的”，符合逻辑。故选择natural。
58.them
上文讲“这些情绪都是自然的”，本句话意思是“不同的人处理这些情绪的方式不 同”，空格处需填入表示这些情绪的名词或者代词，只有代词them合适，因此答案为them。
59.hurt
本句介绍人们处理情绪的不同方式。句意：有的人大声喊叫，说脏话，甚至打那些……他们的人。空格处缺少一个表示行为的动词，可供选择的有hear，listen，place和hurt，根据句意可知hurt符合题意，意思是“伤害”。
60.successfully
空格所在分句“very few deal with conflict”是一个完整的句子，空格处需填入一个状语，可供选择的有before 和successfully，代入before，句子意思是“以前很少有人处理过矛盾”，这句话不合常理，因此只能选择successfully，句子意思是“很少有人成功地解决矛盾”，所以此题答案为successfully。
61.Before
空格所在句子是个完整的句子，可以填入一个状语，可供选择的只有before，代入文中，意思是“在讨论问题之前，冷静下来”，语句通顺，符合逻辑，故答案为before，因其位于句首，首字母需大写。
62.place
空格所在句子主语为“you”，谓语是imagine，因此空格处需填入一个由a relaxing修饰的可数名词，可供选择的只有place，带入文中，句子意思是“想象一个令人放松的地方”，语句通顺，因此此题答案为place。
63.how
此句为祈使句，空格前是动词share，其后是一个缺少宾语的句子，可知空格处需填入引导宾语从句且可在宾语从句中做宾语的从属连词。选项中how和what都可引导宾语从句， 但只有what可在宾语从句中做宾语成分，因此此题答案为what。
64.because
空格前为结构完整的分句“I feel sad”，意思是“我觉得难过”，空格后是结构完整的分句“you don’t pay attention to what I think”，意思是“你不重视我的想法”，可知空格处需填入表示两者逻辑关系的连词。可供选择的连词只有because，代入句中，语义明确通顺，符合逻辑，故此题答案为because。
65.hear
由题可知空格中缺少一个及物动词，可供选择的动词只有hear和listen，但是listen是不及物动词，因此此题答案为hear。

67.A 由关键词learn music可定位至本文第一部分Music Club，它提供“Music lessons”，再结合其地址“Address: 25 Jiefang Road”可知，选项A正确。
68.D 由National Park一词可定位至第二部分，与收费有关的是“Price: $15, children (aged 3-7) $8”。题中的“我”十四岁，大于儿童票的适用范围“3-7岁”，因此“我和父母”参观National Park应购买三张价值$15的全票，总共是$45，因此D项正确。
B

Many American parents take timeoff from work during June, July or August to travel with their children onvacation either in the US or a foreign country. On the other hand,schoolchildren get much more time off school than parents get vacation time.This means that parents with young children may have to pay more for babysittingor day care costs. As well, the long summer holidays mean that studentssometimes get bored.
Besides going on tripswith their parents, American students enjoy taking part in different kinds ofactivities during the holidays. For example, some kids enjoy summer camps andoutdoor adventures (冒险).Such trips are great for adventurous students. They also have alot to offer students who aren’t usually interested in traditional PEactivities. You can do courses in survival (生存) skills, for example. Students learn how to makea camp in the forest, which wild food they can eat and how to find their wayback to the center.
Students who are notexcited about summer camps or outdoor adventures may take part in courses incomputer game design, film-making and photography during the holidays. Finally,the traditional school trip to foreign countries is always popular. Studentscan practice their foreign language skills and experience everyday life in adifferent culture.

【文章大意】 本文主要介绍了美国学生的休假情况，并具体讨论了其优缺点。其中优点包括拥有更多时间和家人相聚以及可以参加各种课外活动，但是这也意味着父母需要支付更多的费用来请保姆。
【答案及解析】
77.A 由第一段中的“In fact, kids in the US only go to school for about 180 days a year”可知答案为A项。
78.D 第三段中划线单词They所在句子之前为“Such trips are great for adventurous students”，意思是“这些活动对爱探险的孩子们来说十分有益”，接下来是讲这些活动对另外一类孩子的好处，可知they指代的也是Such trips，即summer camps and outdoor adventures，故D项正确。
79.C 由第三段第一句话中的“American students enjoy taking part in different kinds of activitiesduring the holidays”可知，选项C是正确的描述。
80.B 本题主要考察文章主旨。文章第一句话就点出主题，美国孩子的假期。第一段将假期时间，第二段讲家长对假期的看法，第三段和第四段主要介绍美国孩子们在假期的各种活动。因此，B项SchoolHolidays in the US正确，意思是“美国小学的假期”。

At my clinic (诊所), I work long days onMondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and short days on Tuesdays, Thursdays andSaturdays. Sunday is my day off so I can spend some time with my family.
82 Myclerk opens the door, turns on some music, and makes everyone a cup of tea orcoffee. My assistant cleans and feeds the animals. The phones start to ring andpeople make appointments. This is a very busy time of a day!
At 9 am, pet owners startto arrive with their sick pets. Appointments take up the whole morning. 83 I don’t examine (检查) any new sick animals. I use these two hours to have lunch and doall my paperwork.
At 2 pm, I start to seesick animals again. At 5 pm, three students from a local school who loveanimals arrive to help out. 84 I am always happyto see their smiling faces!
From 5 pm to 7 pm, Icontinue to see sick animals. Then, at 7 pm, we close the door and the clean-upbegins! We tidy the clinic, feed and clean the animals. Of course, we alsostroke (轻抚) themand give them hugs! Then, we turn off the lights and go home. 85

【答案及解析】
81.B 空格后讲“我喜欢是因为尽管工作很累，但是每天都有变化”，可推知空格中介绍了某种作者喜欢的工作。第二句话“这完全取决于送来的动物出了什么问题”，可知这项工作与生病的小动物有关，因此可知第一句主要是讲与动物有关的某种工作，结合选项可知B项符合题意，意思是“兽医的工作很有趣”，因此答案为B项。
82.E 空第三、四、五段是作者按照时间顺序对一天工作的详细描述，三段结构相似，由四、五段均以时间开头可知空格中内容应该为上午的某个时间，只有E项My dayat my clinic begins at 7 am符合题意，意思是“我在诊所的一天开始于上午七点”。
83.C 空格前讲“预约挂号占满了整个上午”，空格后讲“我不再检查生病的动物。我利用这两个小时吃午饭，处理文件”，可知空格中与中午的两个小时有关，结合选项可知C项符合题意，意思是“中午时，我会休息两个小时”。
84.G 空格前讲“下午5点时，本地学校里三个热爱动物的学生过来帮忙”，空格后讲“看到他们的笑脸我总是很开心”，可知空格中内容与这三个学生有关，选项中只有G项符合题意，意思是“他们很善良，很热心”。
85.F 空格前主要讲一天工作的结束，空格后是对兽医职业的总结，所以空格中内容应该是对一天生活的总结。剩余选项中有A项Do youlike pets?，D项Animals are not easy to dealwith，以及F项This is the type of day I wantto have，A项是一句问句，作为总结不合适，D项意思是“动物们不好对付”，与全文感情色彩不符合，只有F项符合题意，其意思是“这就是我想要的一天”，代入文中。语句通顺，且符合逻辑，因此选择F项。

I have made a reading plan for myself anddecided to read an adventure story book one week after class. I do not reade-books, because my parents forbid me to do so. They think e-books are bad formy eyes. Usually, I will read for one hour after class and another one and ahalf hours after dinner every day.
