But the history of Sherlock dates back 127 years.Since the creation of Holmes in 1887, he has been taking us on adventures（冒险）one after another.The Sherlock series is a playful drama, covered in crimes and mystery. It gives us a modern Sherlock for a new generation, who solves cases with the help of the Internet, cell phones and GPS. People look to Sherlock for both adventure and inspiration（灵感）. Each case sends us on a mysterious journey with Holmes. The stories give life and color to our imagination: as he checks the crime scene, we join him and become detectives too, looking out for hidden clues.Yet Holmes is no Superman. He cannot fly, or turn invisible（隐形的）. But his powers are within all of us: reason, logical thinking and paying attention to detail. While an artist‘s painting is his art, Sherlock‘s art is his intelligence（聪明才智）. He is human, and this is what makes Holmes a true hero for all of us.In the new series of Sherlock, most people thought Holmes was dead. But he returns after two years of hiding in the shadows. Now the whole city of London is in danger. What can Holmes possibly do? Uncover the mystery yourself by watching the new series!36. Sherlock was created in _________.A. 2014B. 1973C. 1887D. 190037. From the passage, we learn that Sherlock Holmes _________.A. invites some of his friends to help him with casesB. refuses to use modern technologyC. has super powers that helped many peopleD. is admired for his intelligence38. In the new series of Sherlock, Holmes returns after _________.A. dyingB. getting a special powerC. hidingD. going abroad39. The writer wrote the passage to __________.A. compare Sherlock Holmes with SupermanB. explain how Holmes solves casesC. ask people to learn from Sherlock HolmesD. explain why Holmes is so popular40. Where can you probably read the article?A. TV Guide.B. Science fiction book.C. Detective stories.D. Travel Guide.CTaking away a city‘s rubbish is a big job. Every day trucks come into a city to collect it. Most rubbish is made up of things we can't eat or use. If we kept these things we would soon have a mountain of rubbish.In some cities the rubbish is collected and taken outside of city to a dump. Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole. The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage system. The sewage system takes away the used water from toilets, bathtubs and other places.To keep mice and flies away, some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish. Later, grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land. Finally, a house or a school may be built there, and then you‘d never know that this had once been an old rubbish dump.In other cities the rubbish is burnt in special places. The fire burns everything but the metal. Sometimes the metal can be used again in factories where things are made of metal. The food parts of rubbish are put in special piles where they slowly change into something called humus （腐殖质）, which looks like black earth. It is rich with the kinds of things that feed plants and help them grow. 41. Where is the rubbish put after it is taken outside of city?A. On the mountainB. In the waterC. In low placesD. In special places 42. The main idea of the passage is_________.A. to let us know taking away rubbish is a big jobB. to explain the need for rubbish collectionC. to introduce different ways to treat rubbishD. to tell people to take useful things out of rubbish43. The underlined word ―sewage‖in the passage means_________. A. 排污 B. 染色 C. 洗涤 D. 吸尘44. According to the passage, the food parts of rubbish can be used again_________.A. to feed animalsB. to feed plantsC. to build a houseD. to make machines 45. How should we take care of a used metal box according to the passage? A. By burning it off. B. By putting it in water. C. By throwing it away. D. By reusing and recycling it.DHaving a teenager at home can be a real headache. Many teenagers smoke, wear strange hairstyle and even fight. Basically （基本上）, they are often taking risks.Earlier studies have shown that teenagers are more likely to make irrational decisions than people from any other age group, including children and adults. Is it that teenagers are too young to tell right from wrong? Not really. So what‘s the reason?According to Laurence, a teacher from a US university, the reason is that teenagers care a lot about how their peers （同龄人）view them —that is ―peer influence‖.As children enter their teenage years, they spend more time with their friends and classmates, and also they care more about what they think of them. This makes teenagers make decisions without thinking about the costs.In a test, a group of teenagers were asked to play a video driving game. When they played with their friends watching around them, they took more chances and drove more carelessly because that would increase their possibility of winning. But when they played alone, they drove more safely. Why do peers have such a big influence on teens‘ behavior?As Laurence sees it, a teenager‘s brain is like a car with a good accelerator （油门）but a weak brake （刹车）. The ―accelerator‖ is fully developed by teenage years while the ―brake‖ is still not fully developed. When teenagers are watched by their peers, they usually push hard on the accelerator. With their weak brake, it is likely that they are going to end up in an accident.But the good news is that a violent （暴力的）teenager doesn‘t necessarily become a violent adult. About two-thirds to three-quarters of violent youth grow out of it. ―They get more self-controlled.‖46. What does the underlined word ―irrational‖ in the 2nd paragraph mean? A. Quick. B. Crazy. C. Careful. D. Correct. 47. Why are teenagers often taking risks according to the text?A. They like difficult tasks.B. They don‘t care about costs.C. They are too young to tell right from wrong.D. They care a lot about what their peers think of them.48. How does Laurence explain the influence of peer influence on teens‘ behavior? A. By using a metaphor （比喻）. B. By giving examples.C. By presenting research findings.D. By performing an in-depth analysis （分析）. 49. According to the text, with peers around them, teenagers tend to （倾向于）______. A. use more self-control B. become more careful about what they do C. perform better than when they are alone D. focus more on short-term benefits （利益） 50. What can we learn from the text?A. Teenagers are easy to have traffic accidents.B. Peer influence is bad on teenagers.C. Most of the teenagers become less violent when they grow up.D. Teenagers shouldn‘t spend all the free time with their friends.第Ⅱ卷 非选择题（共50分）四、阅读表达（阅读短文，按要求完成短文后的各项任务）（10分）What is the strongest part of your body? Your head? Bones? It‘s your teeth! There is a special thing called enamel （牙釉质）in teeth. It is the hardest thing in the human body and keeps bacteria （细菌）away. However, teeth are vulnerable （易受伤害的）to problems and disease. September 20 is National Teeth-loving Day in China. Let‘s pay attention to the health of our teeth.Tooth （1） are （1） around the world. Most children andyoung adults have tooth decay （龋齿）. A study published on China Health Monthly magazine this year showed that 40.74 percent of a sample （抽样）of 1,306 Chinese students under age 15 had decayed teeth.（2）Food that is rich in sugar increases the risk of tooth decay. After you eat, bacteria go crazy over the sugar on your teeth, like ants at a picnic. The bacteria turn sugar into acids （酸）that eat away at tooth enamel. This cause holes in your teeth.Another common problem is crooked teeth （龅牙）. When your new teeth begin to grow and the old teeth haven‘t fallen out, there isn‘t enough space for the new ones. This causes crooked teeth.Don‘t worry. Here are some ways to keep your teeth healthy. Brush at least twice a day – in the morning and before bedtime. Learn to use dental floss （牙线）. The floss gets rid of food that‘s hidden where your toothbrush can‘t get it.Visit a dentist. He or she can check if you have any dental problems and help you clean your teeth.Pay attention to what you eat. It is better to eat lots of fruits and vegetables instead of fries and drink water instead of soda.Wear braces （牙套）to make your teeth straight and beautiful.51. 在（1）处的空白处分别填入一个适当的词使句意完整、上下文通顺。

David．答案和解析1.【答案】D【解析】略略略2.【答案】A【解析】略略略3.【答案】D【解析】答案：D．结合选项联系语境可以推断设空处句子的句意是"我太饿了，我可以吃点什么吗？"，首先根据修饰不定代词需用用动词不定式作后置定语，此处的一般疑问句是希望得到肯定回答，所以用something不用anything，故选D．我太饿了，我可以吃点什么吗？本题考查不定代词的辨析．做题的关键是首先根据语境明确句意，另外掌握选项中每个不定代词的用法，便可得出正确答案．4.【答案】C【解析】略略略5.【答案】C【解析】略略略6.【答案】C【解析】略略略7.【答案】A【解析】答案：A，考查系动词．句意"不仅我的父母而且我也是一名医生．"根据题干Not only my parents but also I _____ a doctor．可知not only…but also…表示不仅…而且…连接的两个并列主语，谓语动词一般要与后一个主语保持一致．这里主语I是单数第一人称，所以用am．故选A．不仅我的父母而且我也是一名医生．掌握not only…but also…的含义及其用法，根据具体内容作答．8.【答案】C【解析】略略略9.【答案】B【解析】略略略10.【答案】A【解析】A略略11.【答案】C【解析】答案：C．考查形容词原级比较．句意"这个男孩没有我姐姐高，所以他坐在她前面．"．A和…一样高．B比…高．C与…不一样高．D最高的．结合语境"所以他坐在她前面"，可知应该是男孩没有我姐姐高，因此用not as…as与…不一样，中间用形容词原形形式．答案是C．这个男孩没有我姐姐高，所以他坐在她前面．考查形容词原级比较，这里要掌握not as…as和as…as的区别，结合语境选择合适答案．12.【答案】B【解析】答案：B．根据题干可知，本句的意思应是这本书非常有趣，我对它很感兴趣．在英语中，以-ing形式结尾的形容词多形容客观事物体现在外的性质，其修饰的对象多不具有生命；以-ed形式结尾的形容词多形容人或其他生物的情绪或感受，对于被修饰的对象来说，这种形容词体现了它的主观感受．根据题干可知，第一个空修饰的是事物the book，应用interesting；第二个空是修饰人称代词I，应用interested，be interested in表示"对…感兴趣"是固定短语．故选B．这本书非常有趣，我对它很感兴趣．此题主要考查英语动词形容词的两种形式即过去分词作形容词与现在分词作形容词之间的区别．掌握它们之间的差异能帮助快速答题．13.【答案】C【解析】略略略14.【答案】B【解析】答案：B根据题意：-他的表妹什么时候到达？-大约12点钟．结合选项，arrive后要接介词in/at，后面要接地点；get 后接to，单独用，没有"到达"之意；reach是及物动词，要接宾语．所以只有选项B符合题意．故选：B．-他的表妹什么时候到达？-大约12点钟．熟悉动词短语的基本用法，结合题意，给出答案．15.【答案】C【解析】略略略16.【答案】D【解析】略略略17.【答案】C【解析】答案：C．any后跟名词单数时，表示任何一个（用于不是同一范围作比较），any other表示其他的，后也可跟名词单数形式（用于同一范围作比较），theother常和one连用，表示"一个…，另一个…"．根据题意，上海比日本的任何一座城市都大，这是不在同一范围作比较，用any，故选择C．上海比日本任何一座城市都大．本题考查形容词比较级，是一道易错题，要注意any和any other的区别．18.【答案】B【解析】答案：B．两者都可表示"借"，但是borrow 指"借入"，而lend 则指"借出"，两者其实是一对反义词，而不是同义词．要表示"向某人借某物"，英语用borrow sth from sb，其中用介词from．要表示"把某物借给某人"，英语用lend sth to sb，其中用介词to．根据-Could I your bike，可知这里应该是借入，用borrow；再根据but youmustn't---it to others，这里应该是借出，用lend．故选B．--我可以借一下你的自行车吗？--很乐意．但是你不可以把它借给别人．了解每个选项的含义是做好此类题型的关键，还要从句意着手，根据句意作出解答；所以，平时的学习中要多进行积累词汇，才能很好的完成．19.【答案】D【解析】略略略20.【答案】C【解析】答案：C，考查名词的词义辨析．句意"人们在英国说假日，在美国的时候说假期．"movie电影；fall落下；vocation假期；elevator电梯．根据题干People in the UK say‘holiday'while people in the USA say___________．可知本题考的是名词的同义词，holiday假日，和vocation假期是同义词．也是英语在两国的不同说法．即人们在英国说假日，在美国的时候说假期．故选C．人们在英国说假日，在美国的时候说假期．理解各个选项的含义，根据具体内容作答．21.【答案】【小题1】B 【小题2】C

【小题4】A 【小题5】B【解析】1B 细节理解题．根据文章第一段There was a famous church in London．可知，这个故事发生在伦敦，伦敦属于英国．故选B．2 A 细节理解题．根据文章第一段To have a better look at his painting，he stepped back again．可知，这个艺术家又朝后退，是想更好的看看的他的绘画．故选A．3D 细节理解题．根据文章第一段Suddenly，his assistant shouted，picked up a small bowl of paint and started to paint the artist's work on the top．可知，助理对这个艺术家大喊，并且自己开始在顶部绘画，才使得艺术家没有掉下平台．故选D．4A 细节理解题．第二段划线句子的意思是：在平台上，艺术家的助理在混合颜料，艺术家后退想看看他的画进展得怎么样了，为了更好的看清楚，他又向后退了．故选A．5B 推断理解题．根据文章第一段Suddenly，his assistant shouted，picked up a small bowl of paint and started to paint the artist's work on the top．可知，助理对这个艺术家大喊，并且自己开始在顶部绘画，才使得艺术家没有掉下平台．助理那样做的目的是为了使艺术家向前跑，这样就不会掉下平台，艺术家应该会感谢助理救了他的命．故选B．这篇文章讲述了一个画家站在一个70米高的平台上给一个教堂的顶绘画，他想看看画的进展，就一直朝后退，见状，他的助理赶紧自己在顶部画画，气得画家往前跑来阻止他，这样才使得画家没有掉下去．本文风趣幽默，结构简单．对于此类记叙文章，学生在答题时需要把握好答题的方法，首先对文章进行整体的阅读，本文全部以细节题进行考察，重在对比文章和题目的关系．平时的学习需要适当做题，保持良好的语感与阅读的习惯．46.【答案】【小题1】A

考查形容词的比较级和最高级．根据后面但他唱得不如我妹妹好．前面应该是比我唱得好，故排除A、B．第二个空修饰动词sing要用副词well，故选择D．卢载旭唱得比我好，但他唱得不如我妹妹好．考查形容词的比较级和最高级．根据句子结构，分析句中的形容词的结构及在本句中的用法是解决此类题的关键．4.【答案】A【解析】本题考查的是一个固定句式的用法，You'd better+do sth．所以应该用动词原形，stop to do是停下来去做某事，而stop doing是停止做这件事，从句意可知，应该是停下来休息一下，故选A．你看起来很累．你最好休息一下．动词的基本用法是作谓语．当句中已经有了谓语动词了，要选或要填的动词就只能用非谓语形式了．非谓语形式有三种：1、动词不定式：to do 2、动词的ing：doing 3、动词的过去分词：done，在解决此类题目时，一定要找出动词的位置，再就是熟记一些固定搭配．5.【答案】A【解析】略略略略略略7.【答案】C【解析】C略略8.【答案】D【解析】答案：D．考查形容词及副词．句意"在那静静坐着的女孩是谁？如果你确实想知道，她叫詹尼．"．A友好的，形容词．B孤独的，形容词，C可爱的，形容词，D 静静地，副词．这里用副词修饰动词sit坐，答案是D．在那静静坐着的女孩是谁？如果你确实想知道，她叫詹尼．形容词和副词的种类有很多，要根据具体语境选择适当的形容词或副词．抓住关键词语，分析用法，完成试题．9.【答案】D【解析】答案：D．考查名词词义辨析．句意"我父亲是一个好司机．他有很好的方向感．"idea主意，feeling感觉，experience经验．根据题意父亲是一个好司机．可知他应该有很好的方向感．故选D．我父亲是一个好司机．他有很好的方向感．了解所给选项中名词词义，再结合句意进行选择．10.【答案】C【解析】略略略11.【答案】D【解析】略略略略略略13.【答案】【解析】略略略14.【答案】C【解析】略略略15.【答案】C【解析】C略略16.【答案】A【解析】略略略17.【答案】C【解析】答案：C．问句中，设空处单词放在动词taught后面作宾语，所以用宾格代词you，答语中，根据句意"没有人，我是自学的．"可以知道设空处缺少反身代词，构成短语teach oneself"自学"，再根据主语主语是第一人称I，判断用反身代词myself，故选C．--谁教你滑冰？--没有人，我是自学的．本题考查人称代词和反身代词，要求必须看清句子结构，找出句子缺失的成分，再根据代词的分类和用法来确定正确选项．18.【答案】B【解析】略略略19.【答案】A【解析】略略略20.【答案】A【解析】略略略21.【答案】【小题1】D【小题2】C【小题3】A【小题4】B【小题5】C【小题6】B【小题7】B【小题8】C【小题9】C【小题10】B

holiday"，因为空格前面有个冠词a，只能用在复合形容词two-week前面．故选D．2．C．考查特殊疑问词及语境的理解．句意：但是她不知道去哪里．A．what什么B．which 哪个C．where哪里D．how如何；本题考查疑问词加不定式，句子后有个不定式短语 to go，只有和where结合成"where to go去哪里"，才符合题意．故选C．3．A．考查动词短语及语境的理解．句意：但是，在澳大利亚我想不到有一个凉爽的地方．A．think of 想起B．think about 思考关于C．think over仔细考虑D．thought of想起；根据句意要用"想起"，因为前面有情态动词can't因此用动词原形．故选A．4．B．考查介词及语境的理解．句意：我的假期应该去哪儿呢？A．to 到…B．for

C．to eat 吃（动词不定式）D．Ate吃（过去式）；考查动词不定式做定语，吃的食物food to eat．故选C．10．B．考查形容词及语境的理解．句意：然而，伊万先生兜里没有吃的东西．A．Nothing…没有B．No没有的 C．none 没有一个D．Some一些；因为前文中的however是转折词，可以判断下文是否定的意义． food中有个名词food，nothing不能修饰名词，none也不能直接接名词，故选B．11．C．考查动词短语及语境的理解．句意：他试图让这只狗走开．A．take away带走B．throw away扔掉C．go away 离开D．put away收拾；根据句意，伊万先生想让他走开．故选C．12．A．考查动词及语境的理解．句意，：他看到地上有一小块骨头．A．saw看到B．Heard听到

not不可以；这个故事是以一般过去时叙述的，所以得用动词过去式．could是can的过去式．故选C．14．D．考查感叹句及语境的理解．句意：俄国人多么奇怪．What 什么；How如何；因为后面是形容词strange，所以要用感叹句式how adj+S+V!故选D 15．B．考查反身代词及语境的理解．句意：伊万对自己说："他们拴的是骨头而不是狗．"A．itself 它自己B．himself 他自己C．Myself我自己D．Yourself你自己；根据上文伊万捡不起骨头的语境，可以判断他在对自己说话．故选B．文章大意为：伊万先生在悉尼居住和工作，上周他有两周的假期，朋友建议他去莫斯科度假．一天他去公园，一只狗跟着他，当他路过一座房子的时候，那只狗开始对他叫，似乎是饿了，想要吃的，但是伊万先生口袋里没有吃的．狗还是对着他不停地叫，这时，他看到地上有一块骨头，但是捡不起来．于是他很好奇的说："俄罗斯人为什么拴骨头而不拴狗呢．"解答完形填空题需要快速阅读全文，了解文章大意，再带着选项去读，边读边做，注意联系上下文．36.【答案】【小题1】B【小题2】A【小题3】B【小题4】A【小题5】C【解析】BABAC略略41.【答案】【小题1】C【小题2】C【小题3】B【小题4】D【小题5】A【解析】CCBDA略略46.【答案】【小题1】A【小题2】C【小题3】D【小题4】C【小题5】B【解析】（1）A．细节理解题．根据Every
