2. earned。考查时态。联系上下文可知，全文用的一般过去时态，故用earned。
3. What。考查名词性从句。主语从句中 do后缺宾语，故用What。

5. Having been。考查非谓语动词。主语是he，句中有“for two years”，用现在分词的完成
式Having been作状语。
6. difficulties。考查词形变化及名词的数。前面有介词into，空处用名词形式。根据空后的“one of which”可知，困难不止一个，故此空用名词的复数形式。
7. the。考查冠词。这里表示特指那张船票，用定冠词。
8. It。考查代词。此处是强调句型，缺代词It。
9. thankfully。考查词形变化。根据语意，用副词thankfully修饰后面的句子。
10. best。考查形容词的最高级。联系上下文可知此处表达“他曾经做过的最好的决定”，用形容词的最高级。

5. it。考查it的特殊用法。本句中的it为形式主语，真正的主语为后面的不定式。
6. and。考查连词。根据句意可知“世界最大的”和“美国第一个”之间是并列关系，共同修饰后文的digger theme park(挖掘主题公园)。
7. Visitors。考查词形变化。分析句子结构可知，本句缺少主语，可判断本空应填名词；根据动词learn可知应是“访问者能够了解挖掘机是怎么样使用的”，可知应用visitor；而访问者不可能是一个人，且位于句首，故可知答案。
8. with。考查介词。communicate with sb表示“与某人交流”，故可知答案。
9. have opened。考查时态。根据时间状语in recent years可知此处应用现在完成时；由于主语A small number of digger parks为复数，故可知答案。
10. which。考查定语从句。___ is used in Las Vegas为限制性定语从句，由于先行词为that指代equipment，故用关系代词which。在先行词是that的情况下，一般不用关系代词that，避免重复。
C

6. in。考查介词。根据句意“我问司机他的名字，以便我的朋友可以亲自感谢他”可知答案。in person表示“亲自”。
7. telling。考查非谓语动词。本句已有谓语动词e-mailed，且主语I与动词tell之间存在主谓关系，故使用现在分词充当伴随状语。
8. myself。考查代词。根据句意作者把手机还给了朋友，并代表司机和自己给了朋友一张微笑卡，可知答案。
9. happier。考查形容词比较级。根据句意“他说他现在比任何一个人都要幸福”可知答案。

8. loudly。考查词形变化。分析句子结构可知，此处应用副词修饰laughing。
9. had been closed。考查时态和语态。主语freezer与close之间存在被动关系，可知应用被动语态；因为if引导一个虚拟从句，是对过去发生事情的虚拟，故谓语动词用过去完成时的被动形式。
10. interesting。考查词形变化。本句缺少形容词修饰memory；因为主语为物，故此处答案为interesting，而不是interested。
E
1. an。考查冠词。空后面的store是泛指，且Asian是以元音音素开头，故使用不定冠词an。
2. which。考查关系代词。本句是非限制性定语从句，由先行词items可知应使用关系代词which。
3. to buy。考查非谓语动词。本句缺少目的状语，故使用动词不定式。句意为：我去商店买豆腐和水果。
4. in。考查介词。wait in line为固定短语，意为“排队等候”。
5. how。考查连接词。___ I was going to consume the big box of tofu I was buying是宾语从句，且从句中缺少表达方式的状语，故使用连接副词how。

10. had received。考查时态。定语从句的谓语动词receive发生在主句谓语动词was之前，故使用过去完成时。
F
1. successful。考查词形变化。分析句子结构可知，此处需要形容词修饰名词career，success的形容词形式为successful。
2. most important。考查形容词最高级。根据前文“the”及后文的the best 可知应用最高级。important为多音节词，因此它变成最高级时前面要加上most。
3. around。考查介词。根据句意可知，第二个年轻人帮助他周围的人。
4. which。考查定语从句。___ didn’t leave him enough time to follow his own dreams of greatness为非限制性定语，且从句中缺少主语；引导词指代第二个年轻人帮助他人的事，故用which引导从句。
5. spreading。考查非谓语动词。本句中已有谓语动词struck，根据句意可知，spread的动作
与struck是同时进行的，故用现在分词作伴随状语。
6. anything。 考查代词。根据句意可知，第一个年轻人从来没有遇过像这种灾难的事情；因为句子为否定句，故用不定代词anything。

Part A: Reading Aloud
The Dubai Fountain does put on quite a spectacular show with several different music themes. Definitely worth a visit, although the advertised 500+ foot high spurts of water are somewhat underwhelming — they look more like 100ft high at best, but we didn’t get our tape measure out. You’ll know when a performance is about to start because the lights along the lake-edge go out seconds before the beginning. Each display lasts about 5 minutes, and bizarrely, some people clap at the end. Don’t forget to check the wind direction first if you don’t want to get wet. Part B：Role Play
M: Where to, Ma’am?
W: Well, I want to go to the National Art Museum. Can you take me there?
M: OK. No problem.
W: Hmm, excuse me, how long will it take to get there?华夏希望英语周刊官网。
M: Well, that all depends on the traffic, but it won’t take more than twenty minutes. W: Okay. Uh, sorry for asking, do you have any idea about how much it will be?
M: Oh, it will be less than 18 dollars, of course.
W: By the way, do you know when the museum closes?
M: Well, Maybe around 6:00 pm, I think. You still have enough time, Ma’am.
W: OK. And do you have the time?
M: Yeah. It’s half past three.
W: OK. I think I have enough time to watch the drawings.

Miss Tam was a selfish woman. Her manners were bad. She never thought of others’ feelings. One day, she got a cold and went to see the doctor. However, it was raining heavily. So, she decided to catch a taxi outside the building she lived in. She jumped the queue in order to get on ahead of the other passengers. The other passengers were very angry with her and told her to wait for her turn later. But she did not listen to them and tried to open the door of the taxi. The taxi driver saw that and didn’t open the door for her. She was embarrassed and went to the back of the queue.
After she arrived at the clinic there were many patients. As she waited for the treatment, she took two seats. One was for herself and the other was for her umbrella! Because of the wet floor, she slipped on the floor and hurt her leg, when it was her turn to see the doctor. As a result, she saw the doctor not only for her cold but also for her leg.

The Maldives, officially Republic of Maldives, also referred to as the Maldive Islands, is an island nation in the Indian Ocean formed by a double chain of twenty-six islands oriented（朝向） north-south off India’s Lakshadweep islands. It stands in the Laccadive Sea, about 700 kilometres (430 mi) south-west of Sri Lanka and 400 kilometres (250 mi) south-west of India. More than 40 years ago, the Dutch referred to the country as “Maldivische Eilanden” in their documentation, while “Maldive Islands” is the local name used by the British, which later came to be written “Maldives”.

M: Oh, yes. I’ve been a little busy recently.
W: Why are you so busy these days?
M: Oh, because of my final exam. It’s coming next week.
W: Will it be difficult? You look nervous.
M: Yes. It will be much harder than before. It was so hard for me to pass my last exam, so I am afraid I will fail this time.
W: Don’t worry. Maybe this one will be a little bit easier.
M: Anyways, I have to spend more time studying for it, or I will fail the exam.
Part C：Story Retelling
When Paul was a boy, he never did what he was told. So his father always told him to do the opposite of what he wanted him to do.
One day, when the two were bringing bags of rice home on their donkeys, they had to cross a shallow river. When they were in the middle of it, one of the bags on Paul’s donkey began to slip. So his father said to him, “That bag is nearly in the water! Press down hard on it.”
His father, of course, expected that he would do the opposite, but this time Paul did what his father told him to do. He pressed down on the bag and it went under the water. Of course the rice was lost.
“What have you done, Paul?” his father shouted angrily. “Well, Father,” said Paul, “this time I thought that I would do just what you told me, to show you how stupid your orders always are.”

Dear Sun Yuzhen,
I don’t think you should be so anxious about your daughter’s studies because the college entrance examination is only one of the challenges we have to face up to.
I think there are several things you can do for your daughter. On the one hand, after get to know what she is interested in and help her set an appropriate goal, trust her and encourage her to believe in herself, which lets her enjoy what she is doing and learn efficiently. On the other hand, do spare some time to listen to her, because the more she communicates with others, the less pressure she’ll have.
I hope what is suggested above will bring out an easier time in your family during your daughter’s preparation for her college entrance examination.
Yours,
Mark
读写任务
Many teenagers get involved in physical fights and many even carry weapons when fighting. The author thinks that fights frequently take place because teens misunderstand the solutions to their conflicts with others.
It is quite common that teens frequently fight with each other. The first reason for their fighting is that many of these teens are easy to grow angry and don’t know how to properly control their emotions. Besides, some don’t want to apologize to others even when they realize their faults. In addition, some teens actually don’t know how to live and work in peace with others.
In my opinion, I don’t think that fight is the only solution to conflicts. Once we find we truly have made a mistake, we are supposed to apologize to others. Once we are in a conflict with others, I suggest working out a most possible means to end the conflict. Only in this way, can we protect ourselves effectively from any possible harm or injuries.
