Reading:
1. D。本题依据为第三段“To make his dream come true, Zac used the money he had earned
from summer jobs”，所以D正确。
2. C。本题依据为第四段最后一句“But even they were surprised by his dreams”，所以选shocked。
3. B。Zac买了帆船之后，于08年6月离开Marina del Rey港口，11月过了17岁生日，最后在09年7月回到家。所以B正确。
4. C。此题依据为最后一段。所以C正确。
5. B。作者由英语迎来第100万个单词这一新闻，谈到了英语新词都是从哪来的。第二段最后一句话“So where do all of these words
come from?”为文章主题句，因此可知B为正确选项。
6. A。第一段讲英语迎来第100万个单词；第二段讲人们日常的词汇量以及包含英语词汇最多的莎翁的戏剧，最后一句“So where do all of
these words come from?”承上启下；第三段回答上文的问题，介绍了这些英语新词的来源；第四五段侧重讲英语吸收外来词丰富自己的词汇；第六七段主要讲因特网如何丰富英语词汇。因此A选项最好地体现了本文结构。
7. C。由本段中心句“English borrows from other languages”可知，作者引用“feng shui”这一词汇，主要是为了论证英语吸收了很多外来词汇。
8. D。由第七段第一句“Speaking of cyberspace, the age of the Internet has created a
whole new vocabulary for its own purposes.”可知b项正确；由第六段第二句话d、e项正确，故选D。
9. Web 2.0.
10. It scoops up new words from all over the world and mixes them in with the
old.
11. English borrows new words from other languages and the age of the Internet
has created a whole new vocabulary for its own purposes.
12. 还有“feng shui”这个来自汉语的词。很多外国人开始注重家装方面的和谐，这个词也因而流行起来。
13. C。由第一则新闻第二段可知，这种无人驾驶的士最多可容纳四人（The four-seat taxi），是电池驱动（runs on a battery），乘客只需按“Start”按钮就可将其启动，到达自己的目的地；由最后一段的“The
taxi will be in use starting next year.”可知，这种的士要到明年才会使用，故C项正确。
14. B。由于是电池驱动的，所以不会产生尾气，因此是环保型交通工具，因此B项正确；由第一段“A TAXI without a driver could
make traffic jams and crowded buses a thing of the past.”可知这种的士能够有助于改善交通问题，但A项不对，因为它不能彻底解决都没有提到。C、D两项文中没有提及。
15. B。第二则新闻主要谈论了科学家发现，当遇到冒犯时，躺下来会让人没那么生气，故选B。
16. D。由第一段以及最后一句也可“The scientists now think that lying down could affect (影响)
how the brain deals with other emotions, such as sadness and happiness.”可知身体位置影响人们的情绪，故D项正确。A项文中没有提及，B项不对，学生事先并不知道他们在参与这一试验；C项不对，学生写的论文并不是有关public
smoking，而是有关“something that made them upset”，同时“giving their opinion on it”。
17. D。通过第二段中作者对自己的描述，可以看出作者意思是自己是非常典型的总说“I can”的例子。
18. C。作者的转折点发生在7岁时，他妈妈让他背了一首改变了Marlo Thomas的生活的诗，这首诗同样也改变了作者的生活。选项A的错误在于这首诗不是Marlo
Thomas所写；作者在读完介绍Marlo Thomas后并没有什么变化，真正的改变产生在他被迫背这首诗的过程中。文中并没有提到他妈妈的示范作用，所以选项D错误。
19. A。从倒数第三段“I repeated it again and again until it held firm in my heart”
这句话可以判断A正确。
20. B。从文章重点描写作者从 “I can’t”到“I can”的变化，尤其是最后一段态度改变后，所产生的变化，可以看出作者认为“相信自己能够做到”，也就是自信很重要。

M: Listening comprehension
Topic one: Hobbies
M: Starting a new school term is always exciting. It is a chance to see your friends again. But most exciting of all, the new term lets you take up new hobbies. It is common in Britain for students to take up new hobbies after the Christmas holidays. Promising to learn something new is a common New Year’s resolution.
Most schools offer different kinds of hobby classes. Students can take them during their free periods or after school. Students have to pay for some classes, but others are free. For example, I once took a free Wednesday evening gym class my school offered. But when I learnt how to play the drums, my parents had to pay for the lessons.
The most popular hobby classes at my school were piano lessons and drama club. Both classes offered exams that students could take. Students with many hobbies sometimes felt more pressure than those without any. But the students with hobbies graduated from school with many extra skills.
I haven’t continued any of the hobbies I began at school. But I have never regretted taking them. My best friend today is someone I met in my after-school gym class.
