2.Finding your feet in a new town can be hard, especially if you’re covered in fur and don’t speak the language. But for pets new to Marlborough, help is at hand. Marlborough SPCA and the Railway Café, in Blenheim, have joined forces to help welcome pets and their people

to the region with a fortnightly morning tea. They hope the morning teas will get tails and tongues wagging as well as giving advice on how to make the move smoother. Railway Café owner Leanne Harris came up with the innovative plan as a way to help welcome people to the area. Leanne moved to Marlborough from Auckland two years ago and said she initially struggled to find friends and feel part of the community. “Coming from Auckland I thought people would open their doors and that there would be neighbours calling round with cake. I expected people to come to me and, of course, it wasn’t like that. I did get lonely. “I hope to save newcomers having to wait as long as I did to feel part of it all. I would like to welcome them to the town.”

Free platters of sandwiches, cakes and other goodies will be on offer, for the people, while there will be special handmade yoghurt and banana treats for the dogs. The morning teas will take place in the covered area at the back of the popular café beside the railway station off Grove Rd.

Leanne said she was happy to devote both her time and effort into giving back to the community and felt the venture was a great fit with the SPCA.

“Volunteering is such an amazing thing to do and it changed things for me completely, and I met some amazing people with similar interests.”

SPCA Op Shop manager Karina Greenall, originally from the United Kingdom, said she also wanted to help. “I can give advice on how to resettle pets, the best parks to go to , where the best walks are and where the vet centers are in town.” There will be volunteering opportunities too for people where they can help out and hopefully make friends too.”

【1】How will Marlborough SPCA and the Railway Café help new pets? A．By offering morning teas. B．By giving advice to them. C．By communication with them.

D．By providing accommodation to them.

【2】What was Leanne’s plan originally intended for? A．Saving animals. B．Helping newcomers. C．Making more friends. D．Expanding her business.

3.In 1917 Orville Wright predicted that \"the aeroplane will help peace in many ways –in particular I think it will have a tendency to make war impossible.” Earlier in 1904, American journalist John Walker declared, “As a peace machine, the value of the aeroplane to the world will be beyond computation.” This wasn’t the first grand promise of technology. In that same year Jules Verne announced, “The submarine(潜艇)may be the cause of bringing battle to a stoppage.”

Alfred Nobel, sincerely believe his dynamite(火药) would be a war obstacle: “My dynamite will sooner lead to

peace than a thousand world conventions(公约).” Similarly, when Hiran Maxim, inventor of the machine gun, was asked in 13, “Will this gun not make war more terrible?” he answered, “No, it will make war impossible.”

Gugliemo Mareconi, inventor of the radio, told the world in 1912. “The coming of the wireless time will make war impossible, because it will make war ridiculous.” General James Harbord, chairman of the board of RCA in 1925,

believed, “Radio will serve to make the concept of Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Men a reality.”

David Nye, a historian of technology, adds to the list of inventions imagined as abolishing war forever and leading to universal peace the hot-air balloon, poison gas, land mines and laser guns.

It is not that all these inventions are without benefits—even benefits toward democracy. Rather, it’s the case that each new technology creates more problems than it solves. “Problems are the answers to solutions,” says Brian Arthur.

Most of the new problems in the world are problems created by previous technology. These problems are nearly invisible to us. Every year 1.2 million people die in automobile accidents. The technological transportation system kills more people than cancer. Global warming, environmental poisons, nuclear terrorism, and species loss, are only a few of the many other serious problems troubling people. If we embrace(拥抱) technology we need to face its costs.

【1】What will new inventions do according to the first two paragraphs? A．They will increase wars. B．They will lead to peace. C．They will serve people. D．They will break conventions.

【2】What does the author list so many inventions? A．To show people’s creativity. B．To appreciate their benefits. C．To contradict the original ideas. D．To prove grand promises.

【3】What does the author hope to tell us about new technology through the text? A．It will experience many tests.

B．It will bring about huge costs in the world. C．It provides answers to many problems. D．It presents more problems than it solves.

4.Cyclist Alain Such has been dropped from the Ingotel cycling team for two years after a positive drug test at the Institute of drug Free Sport. “ I was flabbergasted.” Said Didier Garcia, from Team Ingotel. “Alain joined our team last month and we had no idea that he was being examined.”

It’s a story that has become more and more familiar in recent years. Dr. Mohammad Farnood, a leading sports scientist from Cairo, Egypt, said, “ It is thought that some athletes will look for other ways to improve performance in addition to using drugs.”

However, it has not always been against the law. In the Olympics in 1904, Thomas Hicks won the marathon after using drugs in the middle of the race. In fact, the first one didn’t make him feel better for long, so he was given another and, as a result, he fell down soon after finishing and knew nothing. Another one may well have killed him.

Things are very different today. Some scientists are considering the possibilities of using genetic engineering to further develop athletes’ abilities. “If it works with no risk of discovering,” said Dr Farnood, “ then it’s likely to become common practice for athletes.”

Researchers are looking at the possibility of identifying “athletic” genes and correcting weak ones. Put into

practice, this would make a person healthier and stronger. Once scientists understand what genes of top athletes look like , it might even become possible to identify “athletic” genes in young people, and then money could be spent on children who have the most promising genes.

“People are beginning to recognize that genetics can in many ways do good to our society, for example in saving lives and in creating better quality food for people.” Dr Farnood says. “ So, is it fair to use genetic engineering in sport? You could ask if it’s fair for some runners to use the latest scientifically developed footwear. The key question is whether it’s available to everyone.”

【1】What does the underlined word “ flabbergasted” in Paragraph 1 mean ? A．Shy . B．Proud. C．Excited. D．Surprised.

【2】What happened to Thomas Hicks in 1904 ? A．He was badly hurt in training.

B．He broke the law when running in a race. C．He took drugs and almost got killed. D．He lost the match in the Olympic Games.

【3】Who may show the greatest concern about using genetic engineering in sport ? A．Didier Garcia . B．Thomas Hicks. C．Cyclist Alain Such . D．Dr Mohammad Farnood.

【4】What can we learn from Paragraph 5 and 6 ?

A．The possibility of identifying “athletic” genes has become available . B．It’s not clear whether it is fair to use genetic engineering in sport. C．The practice of using drugs in sport has a long history. D．It’s dangerous to use drugs in sport.

二、其他

Tired of traditional running? Well, maybe it’s time to try using your hands instead. That’s what Shaun McCarty and other Australians are doing — running on all fours. 【1】

McCarthy, who comes from Melbourne, Australia, said he’s the one behind the term “crunning.” “It’s not crawling, it’s not running.” he said. “Crunning is a better workout than running. It puts more of an emphasis（着重）on the body than traditional running does.

【2】”

McCarthy thinks that he gets much more exhausted after crunning, so he believes it must burn more calories than running.

【3】 Some believe crunning could result in bad shoulder injuries or broken noses.

But McCarthy is not worried. Many Melbourne residents have been seen running around on all fours.

【4】In the Chinese city of Zhengzhou, crawling, a much slower version of crunning, has been a favourite activity for many years. According to some people there, the exercise is believed to date back two thousand years to the Han Dynasty.

【5】 Then McCarthy advises you to buy some good shoes, hand gloves and most important of all, a face mask! A．Ready to give crunning a try?

B．As it turns out, they are not the only ones.

C．Crunning seems more difficult than traditional running.

D．It really exercises your legs and shoulders at the same time. E. It’s part of the Internet’s latest fitness activities: “Crunning.”

F. However, many are not sure if it is the right exercise for humans.

G. He warns, however, that he can’t say whether crunning is potentially harmful.

【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段““People are beginning to recognize that genetics can in many ways do good to our society, for example in saving lives and in creating better quality food for people.” Dr Farnood says. “ So, is it fair to use genetic engineering in sport? You could ask if it’s fair for some runners to use the latest scientifically developed footwear. The key question is whether it’s available to everyone.””可知，对于在比赛中，运动员使用基因工程去获得比赛的胜利是否公平这一问题，没有定论。故选B。

Tired of traditional running? Well, maybe it’s time to try using your hands instead. That’s what Shaun McCarty and other Australians are doing — running on all fours. 【1】 McCarthy, who comes from Melbourne, Australia, said he’s the one behind the term “crunning.” “It’s not crawling, it’s not running.” he said. “Crunning is a better workout than running. It puts more of an emphasis（着重）on the body than traditional running does. 【答案】E

【解析】根据本段开头“Tired of traditional running? Well, maybe it’s time to try using your hands instead”可知，作者是在为下文做铺垫，为了引出本文的话题，与传统的跑步所不同的运动方式。故选E。

【2】”

McCarthy thinks that he gets much more exhausted after crunning, so he believes it must burn more calories than running.

【答案】D

【解析】根据“It puts more of an emphasis（着重）on the body than traditional running does”（Crunning比起传统的跑步更加看重于身体的运动），结合后文“Some believe crunning could result in bad shoulder injuries or broken noses”可知，Crunning可以活动肩膀等部位。故选D。

【3】 Some believe crunning could result in bad shoulder injuries or broken noses.

But McCarthy is not worried. Many Melbourne residents have been seen running around on all fours. 【答案】F

【解析】根据前文“he believes it must burn more calories than running”, McCarthy认为这项运动可以燃烧更多的卡路里，“Some believe crunning could result in bad shoulder injuries or broken noses”但是有些人认为，crunning可以造成肩部损伤或使鼻子受伤，因此这是两种不同的观点。故选F。

【4】In the Chinese city of Zhengzhou, crawling, a much slower version of crunning, has been a favourite activity for many years. According to some people there, the exercise is believed to date back two thousand years to the Han Dynasty.

【答案】B

【解析】根据后文“In the Chinese city of Zhengzhou, crawling, a much slower version of crunning”，McCarthy在郑州也看到过这项运动，因此他并不是这项运动唯一的支持者。故选B。

【5】 Then McCarthy advises you to buy some good shoes, hand gloves and most important of all, a face mask! A．Ready to give crunning a try?

B．As it turns out, they are not the only ones.

C．Crunning seems more difficult than traditional running.

D．It really exercises your legs and shoulders at the same time. E. It’s part of the Internet’s latest fitness activities: “Crunning.”

F. However, many are not sure if it is the right exercise for humans.

G. He warns, however, that he can’t say whether crunning is potentially harmful.

【答案】A

【解析】根据后文“Then McCarthy advises you to buy some good shoes, hand gloves and most important of all, a face mask ”，McCarthy给从事这项运动的人提出的建议，以及连接词Then可知，前文表示有人想要从事这项运动。故选A。 【名师点睛】

七选五旨在考查学生对全文整体理解和对信息辨析的能力，做此题时首先需要先了解文章的整体结构，弄清文章大意，然后再把7个备选项浏览一下，最后再综合上下文进行推理判断。通过通读全文，了解到文章主要讲述了关于Crunning这一新兴运动方式的话题。然后再结合上下文进行选择。

例如，第3题，首先根据前文“McCarthy thinks that he gets much more exhausted after crunning, so he believes it must burn more calories than running”，McCarthy认为这项运动比传统的跑步方式能消耗更多的卡路里，再结合横线后的文章“ Some believe crunning could result in bad shoulder injuries or broken noses”然，而有些人认为这项运动可能会造成肩膀的损伤或者使鼻子受伤，因此McCarthy与Some代表两种不同的观点，因此，横线处应选择具有过渡性的句子，既承接上文的观点，又能引出下文的观点。故选F。

四、其他

As is known to all, we live in a world of germs（细菌）. It is impossible to avoid exposure. Genetic makeups may give some people 【1】 advantage over others. However, it does not stop people from becoming sick. All of us have been a victim of an 【答案】an

【解析】考查冠词。“Genetic makeups may give some people ____1____ advantage over others”分析句子，句子结构完整，不缺少成分，句中使用的是advantage，名词要用单数形式，因此应该加上冠词。故填an。

【2】(ill) at some point in our lives. Moreover, it is likely that we 【答案】illness

【解析】考查名词。“All of us have been a victim of an ____2____(ill) at some point in our lives”，横线前为不定冠词an，所以横线处只能使用名词形式。故填illness。

【3】(get) sick again in the future. Our best chances of avoiding sickness 【答案】will get

【解析】考查动词。“Moreover, it is likely that we ____3____(get) sick again in the future”，根据横线后的in the future，判断为将来时，应与前文谓语动词相对应。故填will get。

【4】(be) by exercising and employing good 【答案】are

【解析】考查动词。“Our best chances of avoiding sickness ____4____(be) by exercising”，分析句子，主语为Our best chances，chances为名词复数形式，时态是一般现在时，故填系动词are。

【5】(habit).

While good hygiene and exercise serve as obvious advice to most people, eating 【答案】habits

【解析】考查名词。“employing good _____5_____(habit)”，good为形容词，后面应该使用名词形式，habit作名词“习惯”使用时，为可数名词，前面没有冠词修饰，故填habits。

【6】(healthy) is not always obvious. If you cannot define “healthy”, then your immune system will be happy 【答案】healthily

【解析】考查副词。“eating _____6_____(healthy) is not always obvious”，eating为动词，应由副词修饰动词，故填healthily。

【7】(tell) you. The immune system is the foundation of our health. It works for us every day to keep us well. Ask 【答案】to tell

【解析】考查不定式。happy to do sth.乐于做某事。故填to tell。

【8】(you): “Are you making its job easier 【答案】yourself

【解析】考查物主代词。\"Ask _____8_____(you)\"，ask为动词，后面应该加人称代词宾格形式，故填yourself。

【9】 harder?”

Like any system, the immune system is not different. It has a tolerance too. If you eat unhealthily, your immune system will make you aware of it. Take a step in the right direction 【答案】or

【解析】考查连接词。\"Are you making its job easier ____9____ harder?\"，easier与harder是意义相反的两个词，所以应该用or表示选择关系。故填or。

【10】 including some healthy food in your diet. 【答案】by

【解析】考查介词。\"Take a step in the right direction ____10____ including some healthy food in your diet\"，分析句子，including为动名词形式，direction为名词，所以横线处只能填写介词。故填by。

五、短文改错

假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。 增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧)，在其下面写出该加的词。 删除：把多余的词用斜线(＼)划掉。

修改：在错的词下面划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。 注意：1、每处错误及其修改均仅一词；

2、只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分。

Last Friday afternoon, our class was invited an old craftsman to teach us how to making dough figurines (面人). When the craftsman came into the classroom, we gave him warm welcome and two boys helped him with the tool box. First , he shows us the basic steps and skills of making dough figurines . We stood around him or watched attentively. Then we started to have a try himself. The old man walked around and helped us patient. Finally, we put the figurines we made on the table and took pictures with the old craftsman. Looking on the figurines, we were all very exciting. We hope we can have more activity of this kind!

【答案】

【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。作者主要讲述了上个星期五下午，班级请来了一个手工捏面师傅教大家捏面人这一活动，同学都学得很认真、很开心，并希望有更多这种活动。

1. 考查句子结构。“our class was invited an old craftsman”分析该句，句子出现双重谓语，动词成分冗余，故将was删掉。

2. 考查动词。“how to making dough figurines (面人).”，to为不定式符号，后面应该使用动词原形。故将making改为make。

3. 考查冠词。“we gave him warm welcome”，welcome作名词欢迎使用时，为可数名词，前面应该使用冠词修饰。故在warm前添加a。

4. 考查动词时态。根据“Last Friday afternoon”可知，文章所叙述的事情是过去发生，应使用过去时。而“he shows us the basic steps”用的是shows一般现在时，时态错误，故将shows改为showed。

5. 考查连接词。“stood around him”（站在他的周围），与“watched attentively”（认真地注视着他），两者是意思上的并列关系，故将or改为and。

6. 考查反身代词。“Then we started to have a try himself”主语为we，所以应该用与we相对应的反身代词对应主语we，故将himself改为ourselves。

7. 考查副词。“The old man walked around and helped us patient”分析句子结构，此句结构完整，不缺少成分，help为动词，应该用副词修饰动词，故将patient改为patiently。

8. 考查介词。“Looking on the figurines”，look at sth.看着……，为固定短语。故将on 改为at。

9. 考查形容词。“we were all very exciting”，exciting表示事物本身令人激动，excited用来形容人内心的激动，故将exciting改为excited。

10. 考查名词。“We hope we can have more activity of this kind ”，activity作名词“活动”使用时，为可数名词，根据more，应该使用名词复数形式。故将activity改为activities。

【名师点睛】短文改错主要考查考生对文章的理解以及句子结构的分析，考生可以先通读短文，整体把握短文大意再细读全文，逐句分析，把握结构，逐一作答。然后逐行修改，最后复读全文，验证答案。

动词常见的改错形式：时态和语态，常出现在总体时态为过去或现在时，中间杂有不适的另一时态的现象；或是及物动词后无宾语，或是不及物动词后加了宾语。应仔细分析句子结构，再进行判断。

例如，第1题，“Last Friday afternoon , our class was invited an old craftsman ”，首先分析句子结构，根据Last Friday afternoon 可以判断此篇文章都是以过去时为主，再根据our class was invited an old craftsman 此句想表达的意思是，班里面请来了做面人的师傅，分析句子，出现双重谓语，动词成分重复出现，句子不表被动。故将was删掉。
