[答案与解析]

1.embarrassed。分析句子结构可知，空处与上文的nervous并列，故填形容词形式embarrassed(窘迫的，害羞的)。
2.practical。考查形容词。句意：当时他给我的建议听上去是切实可行的。sound是系动词，后面应接形容词。故填practical。
3.conclusion。考查名词。drawaconclusion得出结论。
4.from。考查介词。bansb.fromdoingsth.“禁止某人做某事”，为固定搭配。故填from。
5.concerned。考查形容词。句意：你可以粗略地读一本书，只读那些有关的段落。concerned在此处用作形容词，意为“有关的”，相当于involved，在句中做后置定语。故填concerned。
6.mistaken。句意：如果我没弄错的话，这就是我昨天丢的那个钱包。bemistaken表示“弄错”，故填mistaken。
7.all。句意：并非我们班上所有的学生都喜欢听这种音乐。notall“并非所有的”。故填all。
8.combined。分析句子结构可知，combine与thetwo(即childrenandjobs)之间存在动宾关系，应用过去分词表被动，故填combined。
9.to。考查固定搭配。accessto...“接触……的机会”，故填to。
10.of。考查固定搭配。consistofsth.“由……构成，由……组成”，故填of。
11.contribution。考查名词。分析句子结构及结合语意可知，此处应填可数名词的单数形式。故填contribution。
12.gently。句意：当黄昏轻轻地把山坡染成橘黄色时，河流就会变成金色的溪流。修饰动词sweep用副词，故填gently。
13.occupied。考查固定搭配。句意：他仍然忙于写他的报告，所以不能抽出一些时间来锻炼。beoccupiedindoingsth.意为“忙于做某事”，为固定短语。故填occupied。
14.for。句意：为了开阔我们的眼界，我们的英语老师总是在寻找各种阅读材料。huntfor“搜寻，搜索”。故填for。
15.a。句意：总的来看，这条规则适用于全校学生。asawhole为介词短语做状语。故填a。

[语篇导读]
本文是一篇说明文，介绍了LouisBraille和他发明的盲文。
[答案与解析]
16.D。主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据第二段中的“ThiscodewasmadeupbyaFrenchmancalledLouisBraille.”可知，本文主要介绍了LouisBraille和他发明的盲文，故选D。
17.D。细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Whilethere，heheardthatacaptainhadsentmessagestohissoldiersthattheycouldreadatnightwithoutlight.Hismessageswereinthesimpleformofraiseddotsanddashes.ThiswastheclueBrailleneeded.”可知，LouisBraille成为一名老师之后，偶然得知有一位上尉用凸起的圆点和破折号代码给士兵传递信息，这样他们就能在没有灯光的夜晚阅读，这给了Braille发明盲文的灵感，故选D。
18.B。词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段内容可知，LouisBraille成为一名盲人学校的老师后发明了盲文；再结合画线词前的“taught”可知，他教盲人学生用盲文阅读文字和音乐作品，由此可知画线词指的就是盲人学生，故选B。
19.A。细节理解题。根据文中的“whenhewasonlythree”“At10”“Attheageof15”以及“attheageof43”等时间点可知，本文是按照时间顺序展开的，故选A。

本文主要介绍的是虽然有很多濒临灭绝的语言，但最近值得高兴的是有一种新的语言诞生了，这就是由澳大利亚偏远山区的孩子们创造的语言——LightWarlpiri。
[答案与解析]
20.D。细节理解题。根据第三段Dr.O'Shannessyhasbeenabletodocumenta“new”languageintheveryearlyperiodofitsexistence.可知，Dr.O'Shannessy的主要贡献就是在LightWarlpiri这种语言的存在早期就开始记录了，所以她记录了这种语言的发展。故选D。

本文为一些关于用英语打电话的建议。
[答案与解析]

25.C。考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。本段主要说了通话应该以礼貌的问候作为开始，C选项内容“你应该在开始进行一个简短的谈话。”符合语境，与本段大意一致，且beginning与本段第一句呼应，故选C。
26.A。考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据上句“在这种情况下你应该做什么？”下句应为要做的行动，A选项内容“用短语‘我打电话是为了……’来转换话题。”符合语境。且下文ifyouarewaitingtofindoutwhysomeonecalledyou与A选项I'mjustcallingto...呼应，故选A。
27.E。考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据上句Sometimesyoumayhappentobespeakingwithaverytalkativeperson.有时你可能会和一个话特别多的人通话，可知E选项“插话是很困难的。”符合语境，且空格下句中的interrupt和E项中的getawordin呼应，故选E。
28.B。考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。本段讲如何结束一段对话，上句中的may与B选项内容呼应。句意“如果合适的话你可能会表达一下祝福，除此之外你可能会想确定一下制定的计划。”通顺连贯，故B选项符合语境，故选B。

[语篇导读]
这是一篇说明文。我们怎样才能学好一门外语呢？文章介绍了四件必须要做的事。
[答案与解析]
49.Toknow。考查非谓语动词。句意：为了彻底了解一门外语，我们必须注意下面的四件事情。分析句子结构可知，空处应填非谓语动词，再结合句意可知，此处用动词不定式充当目的状语。故填Toknow。
50.it。考查代词。分析句子结构可知，空处填代词，且和空后的spoken是被动关系，故此处用it指代上文的thelanguage。故填it。
51.confidently。考查副词。分析句子结构可知，此处用副词confidently修饰动词speak。故填confidently。
52.are。考查时态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知，空前的that引导定语从句，
15
指代先行词sentences并在从句中做主语，表示复数概念，且此处表示一般情况，故填are。
53.but。考查连词。句意：良好的记忆力是很有帮助的，但仅仅记住语法书中的规则是不够的。根据语境可知，上下文是转折关系，故填but。
54.learning。考查非谓语动词。句意：背诵一长串单词……没有多大用处。结合句意可知，Itisnousedoingsth.是固定结构，意为“做某事没用”，其中动词ing形式充当主语。故填learning。
55.meaning(s)。考查名词。由空前的代词their可知，空处应填名词，meaning既可做可数名词又可做不可数名词，故填meaning(s)。
56.havememorized。考查时态和主谓一致。句意：如果我们只满足于我们已经记住的一些规则。结合语境可知，此处用现在完成时表示已经完成的动作；主语为we，谓语动词用复数形式。故填havememorized。
57.who。考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，指代先行词those，指人并在从句中做主语，故填who。
58.important。考查形容词。分析句子结构可知，空处填形容词做表语，故填important。
六、书面表达
人们之间的沟通除了通过语言外，还可以借助身势语。在英语课上，老师让你根据下列要点用英语写一篇关于身势语对人们交流的帮助的短文。
学会使用身势语的好处：
1.帮助传递信息；
2.借此了解一个国家的文化；
3.……
注意：1.词数80左右；
2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。
