It was a normal Monday morning at an assembly, and the old headmaster was giving the students a speech about important things in life and about 11 ourselves to what is important to us.

There were small bags of 20 all over the house that he had 21 over the years. The police counted the money, and they soon realized that the old man was a 22 . They waited outside his house expecting to share the good news with him. When he arrived home that evening, he was met by one of the officers who told him that there was no need for him to beg any more 23 he was a rich man now. He said 24 at all; he went into his house and locked the door. The next morning he woke up as usual, went to the street and 25 to beg. 26 , this old man had no great plans, dreams or anything important for his life. We learn nothing from this story other than staying 27 the things we enjoy doing.

About 1.5 billion people speak English around the world. But for more than 1.1 billion of them, English is their second language－often with a noticeable accent (口音).
“Someone’s accent really reveals a lot about who they are and the ir identity. It will tell people what their native language is and probably where they come from.” says Marc Pell, a communication professor at McGill University in Montreal. And according to Pell, one reaction to it can be a bias (偏见) against that person.
Previous research that has been done elsewhere showed that people who have an accent tend to be trusted less, simply because they have an accent. But accents aren’t the only thing we listen for when we have to decide if we trust another person. Tone of voice also plays a role. Pell and his team wanted to know if people would trust a confident tone, even if it came from someone with an accent.
The researchers had Canadian English speakers listen to different versions of people saying neutral (无明显特性的) statem ents like “she has access to the building” while they were getting a brain scan in an MRI (磁共振成像) machine. Subjects heard someone say it with a confident tone with a Canadian English accent, an Australian accent or a French accent. Participants also heard the sentence with the three accents spoken in a doubtful or neutral tone.
The MRI scans showed that the participants had to use more brain power to decide if they could trust the statements said with the non-native accents. When the study participants heard
the Australian or French accents, blood flow increased to the part of the brain that we use to process sound. They seemed to have to analyze that perhaps more carefully, or for a longer period of time to make this decision about whether they truly believed the speaker, especially when the speaker sounded doubtful. When asked, the participants reported not trusting either Australian or French accents－except when the statements were said confidently. It seems that confidence speaks for itself.
33．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A．A person’s identity.B．A person’s accent.
C．A person’s hometown.D．A person’s native language.
34．What did Pell’s team want to know?
A．Why some people trust others less.
B．Which parts of the brain deal with sound.
C．What can cause a bias against non-natives.
D．Whether a non-native’s confident tone can gain trust.
35．For the study participants, which of the following might demand the most brain power? A．A Canadian speaking English in a friendly way.
B．A French person speaking English neutrally.
C．An American speaking English confidently.
D．An Australian speaking English doubtfully.
When I was 17, I read a magazine article about a museum called the McNay, once the home of a watercolorist named Marian McNay. She had requested the community to turn it into a museum upon her death. On a sunny Saturday, Sally and I drove over to the museum. She asked, "Do you have the address? ""No, but I'll recognize it, there was a picture in the magazine. "
"Oh, stop. T here it is!”
The museum was free. We entered, excited. A group of people sitting in the hall stopped talking and stared at us.
"May I help you?" a man asked. "No, "I said. "We're fine.” Tour guides got on my nerves. What if they talked a long time about a painting you weren't that interested in? Sally had gone upstairs. The people in the hall seemed very nosy(爱窥探的), keeping their eyes on me with curiosity. What was their problem? I saw some nice sculptures in one room. Suddenly I sensed
a man standing behind me. "Where do you think you are? " he asked. I turned sharply. "The McNay Art Museum!" He smiled, shaking his head. "Sorry, the McNay is on New Braunfels Street." "What’s this place?” I asked, still confused. "Well, it's our home." My heart jolted(震颤). I raced to the staircase and called out, "Sally! Come down immediately! "
"There's some really good stuff(艺术作品) up there." She stepped down, looking confused. I pushed her toward the front door, waving at the family, saying, "Sorry, please forgive us, you have a really nice place." Outside, when I told Sally what happened, she covered her mouth, laughing. She couldn't believe how long they let us look around without saying anything.
The real McNay was splendid, but we felt nervous the whole time we were there. Van Gogh, Picasso. This time, we stayed together, in case anything else unusual happened.
Thirty years later, a woman approached me in a public place. "Excuse me, did you ever enter a residence, long ago, thinking it was the McNay Museum?"
"Yes. But how do you know? We never told anyone."
"That was my home. I was a teenager sitting in the hall. Before you came over, I never realized what a beautiful place I lived in. I never felt lucky before. You thought it was a museum. My feelings about my home changed after that. I've always wanted to thank you." 36．What do we know about Marian McNay?
A．She was a painter.
B．She was a community leader.
C．She was a museum director.
D．She was a journalist.
37．Why did the author refuse the help from the man in the house?
A．She disliked people who were nosy.
B．She felt nervous when talking to strangers.
C．She knew more about art than the man.
D．She mistook him for a tour guide.
38．How did the author feel about being stared at by the people in the hall? A．Puzzled. B．Concerned.
C．Frightened. D．Delighted.
39．Why did the author describe the real McNay museum in just a few words?

B．She was too upset to spend much time at the real museum.
C．The McNay was disappointing compared with the house.

C．People tend to be blind to the beauty around them.
D．People tend to educate teenagers at a museum.

参考答案
1．B
【解析】
【详解】
考查动词时态语态和主谓一致。

句意：现在，骑车，还有慢跑和游泳，被认为是最好的全能运动之一。

分析句子可知，cycling， along with jogging and swimming与动词regard构成被动关系，故A、D项错误；由along with连接的多个名词作主语时，谓语与along with前的名词保持一致，cycling是动名词形式，所以谓语动词应该用三单形式，故C项错误；且描述客观事实用一般现在时，故选B。

【点睛】
在英语中，句子的主语和谓语动词要保持数上的一致关系，叫主谓一致．这种关系通常要遵循下面三条原则：
1. 语法一致原则句子的主语是单数形式，谓语动词要用单数形式；主语是复数形式，
谓语动词用复数形式。

例如：Both my parents are doctors.我的父母都是医生。

主语
parents为复数，故谓语动词用are。

2．意义一致原则谓语动词该用单数还是复数取决于主语所表达的内容在含义是单数意义还是复数意义。

例如：Paris is among the largest cities in the world.巴黎是世界上最大的城市之一。

主语Paris以s结尾，长得像复数，实则为单数，故谓语动词用is。

3．邻近原则谓语动词该用单数还是复数形式，取决于最邻近它的名词、代词或其它词的数。

连词or, not…but…, either…or…, neither…nor…, not only…but also…等连接的并列主语，谓语动词的数与靠近它的主语一致。

例如：
Neither you nor I am a stranger here.
你和我都不是刚来这里。

Does neither he nor his classmates know the secret?
他和他的同学都不知道这个秘密吗?
2．C
【详解】
考查动词不定式表示目的。

句意：考试前每一分钟都被充分利用来学习功课。

根据句子语境判断“Every minute is made full use of（每一分钟都被充分利用）"的"目的"是"study our lessons （学习功课）"，所以需要的是表示目的动词不定式。

故选C。

3．B
【详解】
考查定语从句。

句意：彼得•帕克参加了一个科学展览，在那里他被一只暴露在辐射下的蜘蛛意外咬伤。

分析句子可知，第一个空先行词为 a science exhibition，在非限制性定语从句
中作地点状语，所以用where引导；第二个空先行词为 a spider ，在定语从句中做主语，所以用which或that引导。

故选B。

【点睛】
做定语从句题时：我们可先将不是关系代词或关系副词的选项去掉，然后采用"代入原则"
并同时结合定语从句的关系词之间的相关区别来进行解题，所谓"代入原则"就是试着把先行词即被定语从句修饰限制的那个词放进从句中，能直接代入的就用关系代词（不包括whose），不能直接代入的可能有三种情况，要么用关系副词，要么用介词加关系代词which或whom，要么就用关系代词whose。

例如本题，第一空，使用代入法，不能直接代入，就用关系副词where；第二空格，可以直接代入，就工关系代词that或者which。

4．C
【详解】
考查非限制性定语从句。

句意：我不怕云彩挡住我的视线，因为我已经在高处了。

分析句子可知，____ may block my sight是定语从句，先行词为the clouds，在非限制性定语从句中做主语，指物，所以用which引导。

故选C。

5．A
【详解】
考查定语从句。

句意：让我有时间和我的孩子们相处一天的机会非常少。

根据句意看出是定语从句，此题为分隔式定语从句，occasions是先行词，所选关系词在定语从句中要作时间
状语，故可排除其他选项。

when此处为关系副词，引导定语从句，修饰先行词occasions，when在从句中作时间状语。

故选A。

6．D
【详解】
本题考查反义疑问句。

句意：你一定看了十月一日的阅兵仪式，是吗？本题考查反义疑问句。

反义问句的基本结构是"陈述句+简略疑问句？"，疑问句中的主语和助动词与陈述句一致；当陈述句含推测的情态动词时，疑问句中的助动词的判断方法是"去掉表示推测的情态动词，将句子还原"；本句还原为"You watched the military parade on October 1st"，根据时间October 1st可知是对过去的事情的肯定推测，此时需要用与对应的过去时间所表达的事实一样的反意疑问句形式．所以用didn't you。

故选D。

【点睛】
must表示推测时的反义疑问句解题策略：
1、当must用来表示对现在的情况进行推测时，问句通常要根据must后面的动词采用相应的形式。

例如：It must be late，isn't it？天一定黑了，是吗？
2、当must+have done表示对过去的情况进行推测（一般句中有明确的过去时间状语），问句要根据陈述部分谓语的情况用"didn't+主语"或"wasn't/weren't+主语"；如果强调动作的完成（一般没有明确的过去时间状语），问句要用"haven't/hasn't+主语"。

例如：1）It is six o'clock．She must have come home，didn't she？现在是六点，她一定到家了，是吗？
2）You must have told her about it，haven't you？你一定把这事告诉她了，是吗？
7．B
【详解】
考查insist 用法。

句意：我坚持说他应该把钱包还给那个女士，他坚持认为他没有偷。

insist 后跟宾语从句分两种情况，一，表示坚持要去做某事(未做) insist+that从句(主语+should+动词原形)should可省也可以不省,但要记住动词一定要用原形,这是一种虚拟语气。

二，但如果表对已经发生过的事的一种看法,(注意;是对已经发生过的事)则使用正常时态。

根据句意可知，故选B项。

8．C
【解析】
【详解】
考查非谓语动词。

句意：由于许多困难的问题要解决，新当选的总统日子很不好过。

动词不定式to settle作定语表示现在或将来要解决的难题；过去分词settled作定语表示已经解决的难题；现在分词的被动式being settled作定语表示正在被解决的难题。

所提供的语境the newly-elected president is having a hard time说明新任总统现在和将来都有难以解决的问题，
所以要用to settle作定语。

故选C项。

【点睛】
with结构是许多英语复合结构中最常用的一种。

学好它对学好复合宾语结构、不定式复合结构、动名词复合结构和独立主格结构均能起很重要的作用。

with结构：with + 宾语（名词或代词）+ 宾补（介词短语，形容词，副词现在分词，过去分词，不定式）,是一个独立主格结构，在句中做状语，可表原因，伴随等。

The teacher came in with a book in his hand.老师手里拿着一本书进来了。

With a lot of work to do, I have no time go out with you.(不定式表将来动作)有许多工作要做，我没时间和你一起出去。

We found the house easily with the little boy leading the way.(现在分词表示主动动作，即分词所表示的动作是由with后的宾语发出来的)
With all the things she needed bought, she went home happily.(过去分词表示被动，with后面的宾语与过去分词之间是被动关系)
9．B

句意：你不可能能预测一切事情，事情经常不会像你预料的那样发展。

A. run out用完；
B. work out发展，计算出；
C. break out爆发；
D. put out熄灭，出版。

work out“发展，计算出”符合句意。

故选B。

10．A
【详解】
考查情景交际及习惯用语。

句意：---他一定是疯了，把所有的钱都花在汽车上了。

---是的，他是疯了!A. out of his mind发疯的；B. a wet blanket扫兴的人或物；C. playing games玩游戏；D. a green finger园艺能手。

由“be crazy和Yes”可知，out of his mind“发疯的”符合句意。

故选A。
