【点睛】本题旨在考查句子的时态，要求学生明确地掌握各个时态的定义以及它们在时间上的划分段和用法。“助动词will或shall+动词原形”这一形式，表示将来发生的事情，用于征求对方的意见或表示客气的邀请。虽然在此题中没有明确的时间状语，但从意思上还是可以理解的。

Section B (每题2分，共22分)
Directions: Read the following three passages. Bach passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A. B, C and D. Choose thone that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
There have been big changes in the attitudes of most parents over the last few years. Physical punishment is banned in schools in most countries, and in many countries, there are moves to ban all physical punishment of children even at home. However, many parents still believe that they have the right to use some physical punishments to deal with certain misbehavior at certain ages.
It’s easy to find reasons to allow some physical punishments. One issue is that many parents find it very difficult to abandon physical punishment completely. Parents argue that this was the way they were brought up and that it didn’t do any harm to them. They believe that for the child’s sake they have the right to discipline the child in any way they consider fit, including using some physical punishments. The other one is that physical punishment can be quick and effective. There is not much point reasoning with a screaming child in the supermarket.
However, there are several reasons why we should stop using physical punishment. One point is that most parents are not trained to deal with misbehaving children. They don’t have enough resources or choices to handle the situation. As a result, they immediately react by hitting the child even if there are other solutions to the problem. Another point is that unless people are challenged or forced to change their belief, they may keep following negative habits. An example is seat belt use —now most people wear seat belts without thinking, while years ago the idea of using seat belts was strange to most people. In the same way, banning physical punishment will force people to change their habits.
In conclusion, parents have to change some of their belief and ideas about how children should be raised. It is possible to avoid the use of physical force, and doing so will help us move closer to the dream of removing violence from our society.
36. According to the first paragraph, many parents think that ____________.
A. they are free to use physical punishment on their children
B. most of the children behave badly in their daily life
C. they have changed their attitudes towards their children
D. physical punishment is effective to educate their children
37. Many parents won’t give up physical punishment because _____________.
A. they are disappointed with their children
B. they were brought up just in the same way
C. they don’t want to hurt their children badly
D. they don’t know what to do with their children
38. The author gives the example of using seat belts in order to show ____________.
A. most people are used to wearing seat belts
B. it’s not difficult to change some negative habits
C. seat belts are really very necessary and useful
D. people won’t change their old habits unless forced
39. The main purpose of the author in writing this passage is to ____________.
A. talk about a ban on using physical punishment
B tell us we should educate our children in other ways
C. advise parents to give up using physical punishment
D. suggest physical punishment should be used at home
【答案】36. A 37. B 38. D 39. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。最近几年来很多国家的学校都禁止体罚儿童，现在也有运动要求禁止在家体罚孩子。对此有些家长并不同意，他们认为有时候孩子的确需要体罚，而且体罚孩子也没有什么坏处，毕竟他们自己就是被体罚过的。在本文中作者还提出了几条应该禁止在家体罚孩子的原因。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据首段末句“However, many parents still believe that they have the right to use some physical punishments to deal with certain misbehavior at certain ages.(然而，许多父母仍然认为，在某些年龄段，他们有权使用一些体罚来处理某些不当行为。)”可知许多家长仍然认为他们有权利去体罚某个年龄段内表现不好的孩子，由此推断A选项（他们可以自由地对孩子进行体罚）正确。故选A。
【37题详解】

English is a fun language, and even though it’s considered an accessible and relatively easy one to learn, with 750,000 words and spelling that can throw off even the most skilled learner, learning English fast can seem impossible. Take the following tips on how to learn English faster as your starting point and you’ll master this wonderful language in no time !
TIP 1 _______
Classic literature, paperbacks, newspapers, websites, emails, your social media feed: if it’s in English, read it. Why Well, this content will be full of juicy new vocabulary, as well as a fair amount you already know. This helps you improve quickly, as repeated exposure to learned vocabulary gives you new examples in context, therefore reinforcing those words in your mind. On the other hand, learning new words and expressions is essential to building your vocabulary, particularly in a language like English with so many words!
TIP 2 ACTIVELY TAKE NOTE OF NEW VOCABULARY
This tip is a classic one for good reason. It works ! When learning, we often enjoy a new word or phrase so much that forgetting it seems impossible. But trust us, not everything sticks the first time. To fight this, get into the habit of carrying around a notebook. Whenever you hear or read a new word or expression, write it down in context: that is, in a sentence and with its meaning noted. This saves you time as you won’t return to that word and ask yourself: “What did that word/expression mean again ”
TIP 3 TALK WITH REAL LIVE HUMANS
What is a language for if not to communicate It’s true that speaking a language helps it stick in your head far better than only reading or writing it. Just think of how many times you’ve heard people say that they “understand, but can’t speak English.” A lot of would-be English speakers have turned talking into a huge obstacle that only serves to psyche them out. Don’t be like that. Seek out native speakers for an informal language exchange, enroll in a course, or take classes online.
TIP 4 SUBSCRIBE TO PODCASTS (IN ENGLISH)
Like humor Politics Blogging Cooking With topics covering every interest imaginable, there are English-speaking podcasts out there for you. Subscribe to a few and listen or watch while going to school or work. At first, you might find the native accents difficult, but stick with it and you’ll soon start to understand what you hear (as well as learning lots of new vocabulary from a native speaker!)
40. Which of the following is the best heading for TIP 1
A. START WITH READING WHAT YOU REALLY NEED
B. USE CONTEXTUAL CLUES TO BUILD YOUR VOCABULARY
C. READ ALL THE PRINTED MATERIALS YOU CAN BUY
D. READ EVERYTHING YOU CAN GET YOUR HANDS ON
41. The phrase“ psyche them out” is closest in meaning to ____
A. make them discouraged B. cause them trouble
C. relieve their stress D. affect their fluency
42. Which strategy of learning new words and expressions is NOT mentioned
A. By reading English materials. B. By noting them down in context.
C. By talking with native speakers. D. By listening to English podcasts.
【答案】40. D 41. A 42. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了关于快速学好英语的几个小贴士，有了这些小贴士掌握英语指日可待。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第二段中“if it’s in English, read it. Why Well, this content will be full of juicy new vocabulary, as well as a fair amount you already know. This helps you improve quickly, as repeated exposure to learned vocabulary gives you new examples in context, therefore reinforcing those words in your mind.(如果是英文的，读一读。为什么？好吧，这个内容将充满有趣的新词汇，以及你已经知道的相当多的内容。这有助于你快速提高，因为反复接触所学词汇会在上下文中为你提供新的例子，从而在你的脑海中强化这些单词。)可知通过大量阅读可以帮助我们夯实巩固词汇，所以阅读所有你能找到的东西。故选D。
【41题详解】
词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段中“Just think of how many times you’ve heard people say that they “understand, but can’t speak English.” A lot of would-be English speakers have turned talking into a huge obstacle(想想你听过多少次人们说他们“懂英语，但不会说英语”。很多想说英语的人已经把说话变成了一个巨大的障碍)”可知，很多人因为理解英语但不会说英语，因而他们感到沮丧。A. make them discouraged 让他们灰心；B.cause them trouble给他们带来麻烦；C.relieve their stress释放他们的压力；D.affect their fluency 影响他们的流利程度。所以psyche them out应和make them discouraged同义。故选A。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“if it’s in English, read it.(如果是英文的，请阅读。)”可知A选项Reading English materials.(阅读英文材料)符合题意；根据原文第三段中“To fight this, get into the habit of carrying around a notebook. Whenever you hear or read a new word or expression, write it down in context(为了解决这个问题，养成随身携带笔记本的习惯。每当你听到或读到一个新词或短语时，都要把它写在上下文中)”可知，B选项Noting them down in context.(摘抄下来)符合题意；根据原文第三个小标题“TIP 3 TALK WITH REAL LIVE HUMANS(技巧3与真人交谈)”可知，和真人交谈符合题意，没有强调和以英语为母语的人士交谈，故选项C并未提及；根据最后一段中“TIP 4 SUBSCRIBE TO PODCASTS (IN ENGLISH)(技巧4订阅播客（英文）)”可知，坚持听播客会学习很多新词汇，所以D选项Listening to English podcasts.收听英语播客符合题意。故选C。
(C)
A study of English learning problems was carried out among a total of 106 foreign students. It shows that most students considered understanding spoken English to be their biggest problem on arrival. This was followed by speaking, Writing increased as a problem as students discovered difficulties in writing papers that they were now expected to hand in. Reading remained as a significant（显著的）problem.
The information gained helped us in determining where special attention should be paid in our course. Although many students have chosen to join the course with a reasonable motivation（动机）, we considered it important to note what seemed to encourage interest. Nearly all the students have experienced some kind of grammar-based English teaching in their own country. To use the same method would be self-defeating because it might reduce motivation, especially if it has failed in the past. Therefore a different method may help because it is different.
Variety of activity was also seen as a way of maintaining（保持）or increasing motivation. Several years ago we had one timetable that operated throughout, but we soon found that both the students and the teachers lost interest by about halfway through the ten weeks. This led us to a major re-think, so finally we brought it into line with the expressed language needs of the students.
43. What is the text mainly about
A. Foreign students have more problems.
B. There are many ways to improve English.
C. Teaching should meet students’ needs.
D. English learning problems should be studied again.
44. Writing became a bigger problem when foreign students .
A. became less interested in reading
B. became better at speaking
C. had to write their papers
D. had fewer problems with listening
45. We may infer from the last two paragraphs that .
A. grammar-based teaching seems to be encouraging
B. different teaching methods should be used
C. English courses are necessary for foreign students
D. teaching content should be changed halfway
46. The word “it” underlined in the last paragraph refers to“ ”.
A. re-think B. activity
C. motivation D. timetable
【答案】43. C 44. C 45. B 46. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。主要介绍了学习英语过程中遇到的一些问题及解决办法，并且指出教学应该满足学生的需要。
【43题详解】

Several years ago we had one timetable that operated throughout, but we soon found that both the students and the teachers lost interest by about halfway through the ten weeks.从最后两个自然段可知使用相同方法的弊端及不同方法运用的好处，可以推断出不同的教学方法应该被使用。故选B。
【46题详解】
猜测词义题。根据Several years ago we had one timetable that operated throughout, but we soon found that both the students and the teachers lost interest by about halfway through the ten weeks. This led us to a major re-think, so finally we brought it into line with the expressed language needs of the students.几年前，我们有一个贯穿始终的时间表，但我们很快发现，学生和老师都在十周的中途失去了兴趣。这让我们重新思考了一个主要的问题，最后我们把它和学生表达的语言需求结合起来。可知这句话的it指代上文的timetable。re-think重新考虑；activity活动；motivation动机；timetable时刻表。故选D。

62. 当事情结果并不能令人满意时，你也不能失去信心。(turn out) (汉译英)
【答案】When things turn out not satisfying, you still can’t lose confidence.

【答案】The subject of this passage is related to Confucius’s saying, which goes “In a party of three, there must be one whom I can learn from.”
【解析】
【详解】考查时态、定语从句。根据句意可知，本句表示一般情况，句子用一般现在时。表示“这篇短文”用this passage；表示“主题”用subject，此处为特指这篇短文的主题，故用第三人称单数The subject of this passage，作主语；表示“关于”用be related to，故本句用is related to，其中to为介词；表示“孔子”用Confucius，表示“孔子的名言”用Confucius’s saying，因为是这一句名言，故形式不变；其后用which引导的非限制性定语从句修饰先行词Confucius’s saying，从句主语which代替第三人称单数Confucius’s saying，故从句谓语用goes表示“说”。表示“三人行”用In a party of three，位于名言的句首，故字母I大写；“必有我师”理解为“肯定有一个我可以向他学习的人”；表示“必有”用 there must be；表示“可以向他学习的”用whom I can learn from作one的定语从句表示，其中whom代替one在从句中作主语，表示“可以”用情态动词can，表示“向某人学习”用learn from。故翻译为The subject of this passage is related to Confucius’s saying, which goes “In a party of three, there must be one whom I can learn from.”

Section B (每题2分，共22分)
Directions: Read the following three passages. Bach passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A. B, C and D. Choose thone that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
There have been big changes in the attitudes of most parents over the last few years. Physical punishment is banned in schools in most countries, and in many countries, there are moves to ban all physical punishment of children even at home. However, many parents still believe that they have the right to use some physical punishments to deal with certain misbehavior at certain ages.
It’s easy to find reasons to allow some physical punishments. One issue is that many parents find it very difficult to abandon physical punishment completely. Parents argue that this was the way they were brought up and that it didn’t do any harm to them. They believe that for the child’s sake they have the right to discipline the child in any way they consider fit, including using some physical punishments. The other one is that physical punishment can be quick and effective. There is not much point reasoning with a screaming child in the supermarket.
However, there are several reasons why we should stop using physical punishment. One point is that most parents are not trained to deal with misbehaving children. They don’t have enough resources or choices to handle the situation. As a result, they immediately react by hitting the child even if there are other solutions to the problem. Another point is that unless people are challenged or forced to change their belief, they may keep following negative habits. An example is seat belt use —now most people wear seat belts without thinking, while years ago the idea of using seat belts was strange to most people. In the same way, banning physical punishment will force people to change their habits.
In conclusion, parents have to change some of their belief and ideas about how children should be raised. It is possible to avoid the use of physical force, and doing so will help us move closer to the dream of removing violence from our society.
36. According to the first paragraph, many parents think that ____________.
A they are free to use physical punishment on their children
B. most of the children behave badly in their daily life
C. they have changed their attitudes towards their children
D. physical punishment is effective to educate their children
37. Many parents won’t give up physical punishment because _____________.
A. they are disappointed with their children
B. they were brought up just in the same way
C. they don’t want to hurt their children badly
D. they don’t know what to do with their children
38. The author gives the example of using seat belts in order to show ____________.
A. most people are used to wearing seat belts
B. it’s not difficult to change some negative habits
C. seat belts are really very necessary and useful
D. people won’t change their old habits unless forced
39. The main purpose of the author in writing this passage is to ____________.
A. talk about a ban on using physical punishment

English is a fun language, and even though it’s considered an accessible and relatively easy one to learn, with 750,000 words and spelling that can throw off even the most skilled learner, learning English fast can seem impossible. Take the following tips on how to learn English faster as your starting point and you’ll master this wonderful language in no time !
TIP 1 _______
Classic literature, paperbacks, newspapers, websites, emails, your social media feed: if it’s in English, read it. Why Well, this content will be full of juicy new vocabulary, as well as a fair amount you already know. This helps you improve quickly, as repeated exposure to learned vocabulary gives you new examples in context, therefore reinforcing those words in your mind. On the other hand, learning new words and expressions is essential to building your vocabulary, particularly in a language like English with so many words!
TIP 2 ACTIVELY TAKE NOTE OF NEW VOCABULARY
This tip is a classic one for good reason. It works ! When learning, we often enjoy a new word or phrase so much that forgetting it seems impossible. But trust us, not everything sticks the first time. To fight this, get into the habit of carrying around a notebook. Whenever you hear or read a new word or expression, write it down in context: that is, in a sentence and with its meaning noted. This saves you time as you won’t return to that word and ask yourself: “What did that word/expression mean again ”
TIP 3 TALK WITH REAL LIVE HUMANS
What is a language for if not to communicate It’s true that speaking a language helps it stick in your head far better than only reading or writing it. Just think of how many times you’ve heard people say that they “understand, but can’t speak English.” A lot of would-be English speakers have turned talking into a huge obstacle that only serves to psyche them out. Don’t be like that. Seek out native speakers for an informal language exchange, enroll in a course, or take classes online.
TIP 4 SUBSCRIBE TO PODCASTS (IN ENGLISH)
Like humor Politics Blogging Cooking With topics covering every interest imaginable, there are English-speaking podcasts out there for you. Subscribe to a few and listen or watch while going to school or work. At first, you might find the native accents difficult, but stick with it and you’ll soon start to understand what you hear (as well as learning lots of new vocabulary from a native speaker!)
40. Which of the following is the best heading for TIP 1
A. START WITH READING WHAT YOU REALLY NEED
B. USE CONTEXTUAL CLUES TO BUILD YOUR VOCABULARY
C. READ ALL THE PRINTED MATERIALS YOU CAN BUY
D. READ EVERYTHING YOU CAN GET YOUR HANDS ON
41. The phrase“ psyche them out” is closest in meaning to ____
A. make them discouraged B. cause them trouble
C. relieve their stress D. affect their fluency
42. Which strategy of learning new words and expressions is NOT mentioned
A. By reading English materials. B. By noting them down in context.
C. By talking with native speakers. D. By listening to English podcasts.
(C)
A study of English learning problems was carried out among a total of 106 foreign students. It shows that most students considered understanding spoken English to be their biggest problem on arrival. This was followed by speaking, Writing increased as a problem as students discovered difficulties in writing papers that they were now expected to hand in. Reading remained as a significant（显著）problem.
The information gained helped us in determining where special attention should be paid in our course. Although many students have chosen to join the course with a reasonable motivation（动机）, we considered it important to note what seemed to encourage interest. Nearly all the students have experienced some kind of grammar-based English teaching in their own country. To use the same method would be self-defeating because it might reduce motivation, especially if it has failed in the past. Therefore a different method may help because it is different.
Variety of activity was also seen as a way of maintaining（保持）or increasing motivation. Several years ago we had one timetable that operated throughout, but we soon found that both the students and the teachers lost interest by about halfway through the ten weeks. This led us to a major re-think, so finally we brought it into line with the expressed language needs of the students.
43. What is the text mainly about
A. Foreign students have more problems.
B There are many ways to improve English.
C. Teaching should meet students’ needs.
D. English learning problems should be studied again.
44. Writing became a bigger problem when foreign students .
A became less interested in reading
B. became better at speaking
C. had to write their papers
D. had fewer problems with listening
45. We may infer from the last two paragraphs that .
A. grammar-based teaching seems to be encouraging
B. different teaching methods should be used
C. English courses are necessary for foreign students
D. teaching content should be changed halfway
46. The word “it” underlined in the last paragraph refers to“ ”.
A. re-think B. activity
C. motivation D. timetable
