From childhood to old age, we all use language as a means of broadening our knowledge of ourselves and the world about us. When humans first 1 , they were like newborn children, unable to use this 2 tool. Y et once language developed, the possibilities for human kind…s future 3 and cultural growth increased.

Many linguists believe that evolution is 4 for our ability to produce and use language. They 5 that our highly evolved brain provides us with an innate language ability not found in lower 6 . Proponents of this innateness theory say that our 7 for language is inborn, but that language itself develops gradually, as a function of the growth of the brain during childhood. Therefore there are critical 8 times for language development.

Current 9 of innateness theory are mixed, however, evidence supporting the existence of some innate abilities is undeniable. Indeed, more and more schools are discovering that foreign languages are best taught in the lower grades. Y oung children often can learn several languages by being 10 to them, while adults have a much harder time learning another language once the 11 of their first language have become firmly fixed.

Although some aspects of language are undeniably innate, language does not develop automatically in a vacuum. Children who have been 12 from other human beings do not possess language. This demonstrates that 13 with other human beings is necessary for proper language development. Some linguists believe that this is even more basic to human language 14 than any innate capacities. These theorists view language as imitative, learned behavior. 15 , children learn language from their parents by imitating them. Parents gradually shape their child's language skills by positively reinforcing precise imitations and negatively reinforcing imprecise ones.

[全解全析]1—15 BAADC BABAB CDDAC

1. B 此处意为：当人类刚刚开始进化，他们如同新生儿一样不会运用语言这种工具。

evolved逐渐发展，进化符合题意。generated生殖，发展；born (bear的过去分词)不能作谓语动词；originated起源，不能用first修饰。

2. A根据语法分析，答案应用来修饰语言的。valuable珍贵的；appropriate合适的，适当的；convenient方便的，便利的；favorite最喜欢的。语言并不是人类选择的结果，而是人类在进化过程中慢慢发展起来的，对人类来说，应当是珍贵的。

3. A此处意思是：语言的发展增加了人类未来的成就和文化进步的可能性。attainments 成就；feasibility可行性；entertainments娱乐；evolution进化。

4. D 此处意为：许多语言学家认为进化使人们产生和具备了语言的能力。固定短语be responsible for对……负责，是……的原由。其它选项不与for搭配。

5. C 根据语法分析,空格后应是一个宾语从句，而A，B，D三项后都不能接从句做直接宾语。confirm(确认)+名词；inform(通知)sb. of sth.；convince(使某人确信) sb.of sth.

6. B 此处意为：我们高度发达的大脑是我们具备了其它低等动物所不具备的语言能力。显然，这里是把人和低等动物相比较。因此选organisms有机体，生物体。

7. A此句意思是：人类的语言能力是与生俱来的，但语言本身也在逐渐发展，所以这种能力应该是潜在的。potential潜力；performance履行；preference偏爱；passion激情。

8. B 此句意为：语言的发展有一个关键期，人体的成长是生物变化的过程。biological 生物的；ideological思想上的；social社会的；psychological心理的。

9. A此处意为：目前人们对“先天论”评论观点不一，但是支持某些天生能力的证据却是确凿无疑的。reviews评论；reference参考；reaction反应；recommendation推荐。

10. B 此处意为：通过接触多种语言，孩子们可以学会好几种语言。be exposed to是固定搭配，接触到。reveal(显露)sth.to sb，不合题意，因本题中的them指languages。其余选项不与to搭配。engage in从事；be involved in参与。

11. C 此句意思是：一旦母语的规则被深深印入脑海中，成年人就很难再学好另一种语言。rules规则，规律；regulations规定；formations构成，构造；constitutions宪法，章程。

12. D 此句意为：与人隔绝的儿童不能掌握好一门语言。isolated孤立的，与人隔绝的；distinguished区别的，杰出的；different不同的；protected受到保护的。

13. D 此句总结前几句，意为：必须通过与他人交往，语言才能够发展。interaction相互作用；exposition暴露；comparison比较；contrast对比。

14. A根据分析，本句中的“this”和“even more basic”分别指代上句的“interaction with other human beings”和“necessary”，此处所填词对应上文中的language development。也就是说，language acquisition语言习得。appreciation欣赏,感激；requirement要求；alternative转移，转变，转换。

15. C 本句功能是以另一种方式解释前文中的“imitative, learned behavior.(模仿性的后天

行为)”。In other words换言之，换句话说；As a result结果是；After all毕竟；Above all首先。第二节：语法填空（共10小题，每小题1.5分，满分15分）

阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。

In today?s competitive world, the abil ity to work happily with other people is a good way of marking yourself out from everybody ___16_____. While teamwork may offer the chance to blame others ___17_____ your mistakes, you can never blame __18____ for your failings as a teammate. Get to know one another, so you can build up a group and combine your advantages. Find out each other?s values, weaknesses, and past __19________ (achieve).

Don?t shy away form disagreements __20____ work out how __21____ (deal) with them. Humor can be a good way, so have a laugh together.

Before getting down to business, it?s important to establish ground rules. First, make sure you all share the same idea of time. Will 9:30 am meetings take place at midday? Then, work out how you are going to make decisions. These are probably __22______ (well) made at a formal meeting and communicated by e-mail. Y ou must also agree with your teammate __23______ will be responsible for making decisions. Even if you have decided __24______ decisions don?t have to be agreed on, it is important that every team member __25________(keep) active.

[全解全析]这篇文章主要告诉我们怎样与他人合作。

16. else。意思是“与他人和谐工作的能力是使自己显示出与其他人不同的好方法”，用在复合代词everybody后作定语，表示“其他的”，用else。

17. for。表示“因某事责备某人”是blame sb. for sth.。

18. them。指代上文中的others，在句中做宾语，用them。

19. achievements。与前面的values和weaknesses同时充当短语动词find out的并列宾语，用名词形式。

20. but。这是表示“不是……而是……”的not…but…结构。

21. to deal。这是“疑问词+不定式”结构做宾语。

22. best。根据句意这里表示“最好”之意，故用最高级。

23. who。这里是定语从句，先行词teammate在定语从句中充当主语，指人，所以用who。

24. that。decided后接了一个宾语从句，该宾语从句句子结构和句意都完整，因而用连词that。

25. is kept。由keep sb. active(使某人保持活跃的状态)，可知every team member与keep是被动关系，故用被动语态。

Ⅲ.阅读

第一节阅读理解

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。

A

People do not analyze every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a similar problem. They often accept the opinions or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without thinking. They try to find a solution by trial and error. However, when all these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six stages in analyzing a problem.

First the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam?s bicycle is broken, and he cannot read it to class as he usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle.

Next the thinker must define the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must find out the reason why it does not work. For instance, he must determine if the problem is with the gears, the brakes, or the frame. He must make his problem more specific.

Now the person must look for information that will make the problem clearer and lead to possible solutions. For instance, suppose Sam decided that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the gear wheels. At this time, he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about gears. He can talk to his friends at the bike shop. He can look at his gears carefully.

After studying the problem, the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an illustration. His suggestions might be: put oil on the gear wheels; buy new gear wheels and replace the old ones; tighten or loosen the gear wheels.

Eventually one suggestion seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the final idea comes very suddenly because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a new way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees that there is a piece of chewing gum between the gear wheels. He immediately realizes the solution to his problem: he must clean the gear wheels.

Finally the solution is tested. Sam cleans the gear wheels and finds that afterwards his bicycle works perfectly. In short , he has solved the problem.

26. What is the best title for this passage?

A. Six Stages for Repairing Sam?s Bicycle

B. Possible Ways to Problem-solving

C. Necessities of Problem Analysis

D. Suggestions for Analyzing a Problem

27. In analyzing a problem we should do all the following except .

A. recognize and define the problem

B. look for information to make the problem clearer

C. have suggestions for a possible solution

D. find a solution by trial or mistake

28. By referring to Sam?s broken bicycle, the author intends to _________.

A. illustrate the ways to repair his bicycle

B. discuss the problems of his bicycle

C. tell us how to solve a problem

D. show us how to analyze a problem

29. Which of the following is NOT true?

A. People do not analyze the problem they meet.

B. People often accept the opinions or ideas of other people.

C. People may learn from their past experience.

D. People can not solve some problems they meet.

30. As used in the last sentence, the phrase “in short” means _________.

A. in the long run

B. in detail

C. in a word

D. in the end

[全解全析]26—30 BDCAC

本文讲的是一般情况下人们的思维方式，很少有人分析他们所遇到的问题，而是试图记住“问题的答案”，进而举例说明解决问题的过程：首先要认识到有问题，接下来对问题进行归类，而且对问题进行研究、找出问题产生的原因。解决问题的过程也可以向别人咨询，找出问题的解决办法。

26. B。主旨大意题。作者主要讲述一般情况下人们的思维方式，以及举例说明解决问题的过程。根据原文概括大意，给文章加标题，考查学生的概括和表达能力，所以答案为B。另外，注意文章的标题尽可能要新颖、短小、奇特、中肯。

B

What should you think about when trying to find your career? Y ou are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.

Y our school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work.. Y ou may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. Y ou may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.

Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. Y ou may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Y our school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. Y ou should not be apologetic(认错的) about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.

31．What is the passage mainly about?

A．The importance of working hard at school.

B．Choosing a career according to one?s strengths.

A．should pay more attention to learning skills and developing abilities

B．will be regretful about his bad results

C．may also do well in his future work

Four in 10 Chinese complain about the great gap between large investments in education and its returns, a recent nationwide survey has showed.

The Horizon Research Consultancy Group polled 3,355 residents aged 16 to 60 in both urban and rural areas, including Beijing and Shanghai.

The survey found that only 16 percent of respondents believed their investments on education gave good returns.

Those with higher education voiced greater disappointment at the quality of education received, the survey showed.

People in the rural areas generally gave more positive feedback（反馈）on the quality of education than those from the cities, the survey found.

"Our education has been focusing on an examination-oriented system," Huo Qingwen, the deputy director of language education testing service center under the Beijing Foreign Studies University, told China Daily yesterday.

"The survey result doesn't surprise me, as I had heard complaints not only from the students, but also from the teachers who have been asked to focus more about the exam-passing rate," Huo said.

"The job market is still hungry for talented staff, but many graduates are not competent(胜任的) because the posts require more practical experience and creative ability of workers," Huo added.

Most university graduates prefer jobs in large cities, causing an imbalance in human resources between urban and rural areas, Hong said.

The graduates would get better job options if they chose to work at the grassroots (基础的) level because of the government's preferential policies, including the waiving of tuition for those willing to work in the country's rural and western regions, he added.

About 580,000 graduates last year found county- or village-level jobs, and more than 550,000 got jobs in the central and western regions, Ministry of Education figures showed.

"Because many graduates focus only on jobs with high salaries and that are directly relevant to their specialties, they miss other good work opportunities," Kong Xiang, a Beijing graduate who works as an English teacher in a college located at a remote area in Y unnan province, said.

The recent survey showed that education costs form one-quarter of an urban family's income, while it forms one-third of a rural family's income.

36．According to the passage, most people think that _______

A. the investments in education gave them good returns.

B. the investments in education don?t bring them good results.

C. college students are satisfied with their the education received.

D. People in the cities are more satisfied with the quality of education than those in the rural

areas.

37．Which of the following is NOT mentioned?

A. China?s education has been focusin g on an examination-oriented system .

B. Both the teachers and students are asked to pay more attention to the exam-passing rate.

C. The job market now does not lack university graduates.

D. Most university graduates enjoy hunting jobs in large cities.

38. What would happen to the graduates if they chose to work at the grassroots level?

A. They would get higher salaries.

B. They would get lower salaries.

C. Their tuition would be free.

D. They would get better job choices.

39. How much does the education cost according to the survey ?

A. One-third of a family's income.

B. one-quarter of a rural family's income.

C. 25% of an urban family's income.

D. Three in ten a rural family's income.

40. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage.

A. The gap between investments in education and its returns

B. Education and university graduates

C. China?s higher education

D. Education costs

Billy Joe Saunders is aiming for boxing gold at the Beijing Olympics but may have created history already.

As far as he knows, the 18-year-old welterweight from Hatfield is the first person from the Romany Gypsy community to qualify for an Olympic Games.

Billy Joe clinched （最终获得）his place at a qualifying event in Italy earlier this month and is one of seven boxers to make Team GB for Beijing.

Billy Joe Saunders is not the only British boxer with genuine（真的）medal prospects for Beijing, but his background has to be the most fascinating.

He comes from the Romany Gypsy community and lives on a caravan site near Hatfield in Hertfordshire.

Boxing runs deep in the Saunders family, who are immensely proud of their heritage.

His brother Tommy is a professional（职业的）, while his Dad Tom was an amateur and his great, great grandfather, the wonderfully named Absolom Beeny, now aged 96, used to make his living fighting in the old boxing booth at fairgrounds.

Billy Joe admits he has heard all the stories a hundred times, but once he and his brother had visited the local boxing club, he was hooked.

"Boxing has kept me off the streets, stops me smoking and drinking and gives me something to do", he said.

His background may be colorful, but make no mistake, Billy Joe Saunders is one very special boxer.

As a boy he wasn't the most naturally gifted, but had an inner toughness that set him apart from other fighters.

His trainer, Danny Hoy, said: "When I saw him have to dig down into his boots against much older boys, I thought this kid is not the same as anyone else. There is something with this kid".

It is that something which made Billy Joe a real prospect for London 2012, so qualification for Beijing means he is effectively four years ahead of schedule.

He remembers watching Amir Khan win silver in Athens four years ago, and wants to go one better. "I'm aiming for gold, simple as that", he said.

41．Where did Billy clinch his place as a boxer to make Team GB for Beijing.

A. At Beijing

B. At Romany Gypsy community

C. In Italy

D. In Britain

42．The underlined word " amateur" (in Para. 3) here means ________

A. a person who takes part in boxing only for pleasure

B. a person who takes part in boxing as his job

C. a coach who teaches boxing

D. a player who takes part in baseball

43．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Bi lly?s brother is a professional boxer.

B. Absolom?s son is not a professional boxer.

C. Billy was very interested in the local boxing club.

D. Billy was the most naturally gifted when he was still a very young boy.

44．It can be inferred from the passage that________

A. His coach thought Billy was gifted to be a boxer when he saw Billy?s boots against older boys.

B. It was Boxing that has kept Billy off the streets.

C. Billy won a silver medal in Athens Olympic Games..

D. Billy will compete in Beijing O lympic Games four years ahead of his trainer?s schedule. 45．What is Billy hoping to win in Beijing Olympic Games?

A. A silver medal for boxing

B. A gold medal for boxing

C. A piece of gold

D. A copper medal

[全解全析]本文主要讲述了Billy Joe Saunders将代表英国参加北京奥运会拳击比赛及其成长过程。

41．C．细节理解题，根据Billy Joe clinched his place at a qualifying event in Italy earlier this month可知。

42．A．词义推测题，根据His brother Tommy is a professional 和while his Dad Tom was an amateur可知amateur是与professional进行对比，professional是职业的，所以amateur就应是业余的，故选A。

43．D．推理判断题，可用排除法排除A、B、C，也可根据As a boy he wasn't the most naturally gifted推断D错误。

44．A．推理判断题，可用排除法排除B和Ｄ是明说，根据He remembers watching Amir Khan win silver in Athens可知Ｃ不是Billy而是Amir Khan。根据When I saw him have to dig down into his boots against much older boys, I thought this kid is not the same as anyone else. There is something with this kid". 可知Ａ正确。

45．B．第一句和Billy Joe Saunders is aiming for boxing gold最后一句都说到了I'm aiming for

gold。

第二节读写任务(共l小题，满分25分)

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

Friendship with oneself is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

We often focus on building relationships with others that we forget the essential first step: being friends of ourselves. That is the crucial first step if we are to have good relationships with others. How can we have good relationships with others if we don?t even have good relationship with ourselves?

Here are some tips:

1. Forgive yourself

Y ou may have made those mistakes in the past, but is there anything you can do about them? I don?t think so, except learning from them. It?s true that you are not perfect, but neithe r is everybody

else. It?s normal to make mistakes, so do yourself a favor by giving yourself forgiveness.

2. Focus on your strengths

Instead of focusing on your weaknesses, focus on your strengths. Y ou always have some strengths which give you a unique combination nobody else have. Recognize your strengths and build your life around them.

3. Stop comparing yourself with others

Y ou are unique. Y ou can never be like other people, and neither can other people be like you. The way you measure your success is not determined by other people and what they achieve. Instead, it is determined by your own life purpose. Y ou have everything you need to achieve your life purpose, so it?s useless to compare yourself with others.

Dear Li Ping,

I?m glad that you trust me so much and tell me your true feeling, now I?ve read an article which says that it is important to be friendly to yourself first and then to others, and gives a few tips, such as forgiving yourself, realizing your virtues and not comparing with others.

As is known to all, no one is perfect，and everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, so if you fall behind others in some aspect, it?s natural and there?s nothing so serious as for you to feel frustrated. I know you?re worried about your study because you?ve not got as good results as some of your classmates in the exams, but that?s not the most import ant, so long as you try your

best, I?m sure you?ll make progress. Besides, Y ou have your own virtues which some others don?t have, for example, you play basketball better than many other students in our school, and you also play the guitar well. How we envy you!

So never feel discouraged if you fall behind others in your study, and be sure you are good at many aspects.

With the best wishes!

Y ours truly，

Wang Y an

He was cooking some delicious food in the kitchen. Suddenly, he 16 (find) that he had run out of salt. So Nick called to his son, “Go to the village and buy some salt, but pay a fair price for it: neither too much 17 too little.” His son looked surprised. “I can understand why shouldn’t pay too much, Father, but if I can pay less, 18 not save a bit of money?” “That would be a very 19 (reason) thing to do in a big city, but it could destroy a small village like ours,” Nick said. Nick’s guest, 20 had heard their conversation, asked why they should not buy salt more cheaply if they could. Nick replied, “The only reason a man would sell salt 21 a lower price would be because he was desperate for money. And anyone who took advantage of that situation would be showing a lack of respect 22 the sweat and struggle of the man who worked very hard to produce it.” “But such a small thing couldn’t 23 (possible) destroy a village.” “In the beginning, there was only 24 very small amount of unfairness in the world, but everyone added a little, always 25 (think) that it was only small and not very important, and look where we have ended up today.” 第三节阅读理解 A． Imagination and fantasy can play an important role in achieving the things we fear. Children know this very well. Fred Epstein, in his book I Make It to Five, tells a story he heard from one of his friends about Tom, a four-year-old boy with a cancer in his back bone. He came through several operations and a lot of pain by mastering his imagination. Tom loved to pretend, and he particularly loved to play superheroes. Dr. Epstein explained that it was actually a brilliant way for his young mind to handle the terrifying and painful life he led. The day before his third trip to the operating room, Tom was terribly afraid. “Maybe I could go as Superman,”he whispered to his mom. Hearing this, the mother hesitated for while. She has avoided buying the expensive costume(戏装), but finally she agreed. The next day Tom appeared as the powerful Superman, showing off through the hospital halls and coolly waving his hand
