The United Kingdom一、閱讀理解。He had more than 160 reports as a reporter on the Metro desk and more than 170 in 19 months as a national journalist based in Kansas City，Mo.But perhaps the most important piece of writing that AG.Sulzberger did for The New York Times before Wednesdaywhen he was named deputy publisherwas not an article and was not published in The Times, but was all about The Times.That work came to be known as the “innovation(創(chuàng)新) report”，which zeroed in on the importance of a digital future for the newspaper his family has owned since 1896 and said The Times risked losing its leading place if it did not make sweeping changes.In a conversation in his office on Wednesday, Mr. Sulzberger said he saw the innovation report and the thinking that led to his conclusions as “a wakeup call to the newsroom that we were at risk of missing the moment”“It was always easy to see how changes will endanger the traditions of the place，” he said，“but what became really clear to me was not changing was the more dangerous course if we cared about the traditions of the place.”Unlike some of the former deputy publishers in his role, Mr.Sulzberger has been more experienced in the newsroom than in advertising or consumer marketing.Still，his colleagues described him as a quick study whose modesty masked deep inner confidence.Besides，in the newsroom or out on an assignment，Mr.Sulzberger did not show off his connection to The Times owners.“I recognized the name，”said Vincent Bova，a video editor who figured in a feature article that Mr. Sulzberger wrote in 2010.“I mean, I knew I was dealing with royalty.There was no reason for me to bring that up with him, and he didnt.”So Mr.Sulzberger，in some way，has qualified himself for the position since long time ago.【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】本篇文章屬于人物介紹類，介紹了著名出版人A.G.Sulzberger對(duì)紐約時(shí)報(bào)的重要貢獻(xiàn)，還介紹了他提出的“創(chuàng)新報(bào)道”理論以及他人對(duì)他的評(píng)價(jià)。1A.G.Sulzberger wrote the “innovation report” mainly to Aurge revolutions in The TimesBgain the position of deputy publisherCpromote changes in New York City Dshow directions to his family future A解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段可知，“創(chuàng)新報(bào)道”關(guān)注報(bào)紙數(shù)字化未來的重要性，紐約時(shí)報(bào)如果不改革，則將面臨危機(jī)。據(jù)此可以判斷，A.G.Sulzberger提及“創(chuàng)新報(bào)道”的目的是敦促紐約時(shí)報(bào)進(jìn)行變革，故A項(xiàng)正確。2What is the biggest threat to traditional media according to Mr.Sulzberger?AScientific developments.BRapid social changes.CTheir own stubbornness.DDecreasing readers.C解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中的“and said The Times risked losing its leading place if it did not make sweeping changes”和文章中提到的“innovation(創(chuàng)新) report”可知，A.G.Sulzberger認(rèn)為紐約時(shí)報(bào)如果不做出變革，則將面臨危機(jī)；據(jù)此可以判斷，A.G.Sulzberger認(rèn)為傳統(tǒng)媒體面臨的最大的問題是它們固執(zhí)己見，不思變革，故C項(xiàng)正確。3How does the author show us what Mr.Sulzberger is like in the last paragraph?ABy paring him with others.BBy interviewing him in person.CBy giving examples of his routines.DBy quoting ments from others.D解析：寫作方法題。通讀最后一段可知，該段第二句介紹了同事對(duì)A.G.Sulzberger的評(píng)價(jià)，第四句和第五句介紹了視頻編輯Vincent Bova對(duì)他的評(píng)價(jià)；據(jù)此可以判斷，最后一段是通過別人的評(píng)價(jià)來描述A.G.Sulzberger的，故D項(xiàng)正確。4What does the author think of Mr.Sulzberger according to the passage?ACasual.BObjective.CAdmirable.DCritical.C解析：觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。通讀全文可知，A.G.Sulzberger提出“創(chuàng)新報(bào)道”理論并前瞻性地認(rèn)識(shí)到數(shù)字化時(shí)代對(duì)傳統(tǒng)媒體的影響，意識(shí)到傳統(tǒng)媒體變革的重要意義；據(jù)此可以判斷，作者對(duì)A.G.Sulzberger的態(tài)度是欽佩的，故C項(xiàng)正確。二、單句語(yǔ)法填空1_(attract) by the movie starring Jet Li, I decided to see it again.答案：Attractedattract與其邏輯主語(yǔ)I之間為動(dòng)賓關(guān)系，故應(yīng)用過去分詞attracted作狀語(yǔ)。2Ill appreciate it if you can reply to my letter _your earliest convenience.答案：atat your earliest convenience 為固定短語(yǔ)，意為“盡快”。3We were _(delight) that we were successful in our experiment.答案：delighteddelighted “高興的；快樂的”，常用于修飾人，表示人的心理活動(dòng)。4It is necessary that the problem _(discuss) at once.答案：(should) be discussedIt is necessary that sth./sb. (should) do sth. 為固定句型，本句中，the problem和discuss之間存在被動(dòng)關(guān)系，故用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。5I am looking forward to being told about your _(arrange) of vacation.答案：arrangementsarrangement “安排”，常用復(fù)數(shù)形式。6Even if _(invite) to, I wont go to such a bad lecture.答案：invited所填詞為狀語(yǔ)從句的省略形式，補(bǔ)充完整為：Even if (I am) invited to . 。7Mr Green is in charge of a large pany _(consist) of more than 2,000 workers.答案：consistingconsist of “由組成”，無(wú)被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)，故應(yīng)用現(xiàn)在分詞形式作后置定語(yǔ)，修飾pany。8When would it be _(convenience) for you to start work?答案：convenientIt is convenient for sb. to do sth. “對(duì)某人來說做某事是方便的”。9Success consists _the ability to continue efforts through failures.答案：in句意：成功在于歷經(jīng)失敗卻持續(xù)努力的能力。consist in “在于”。10This job doesnt pay well, but itll _(rough) cover your daily expenses.答案：roughlyroughly “粗略地”，在此處修飾動(dòng)詞cover，應(yīng)用副詞。三、完形填空。閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出可能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。I have written a poem called Flying Kites，in which

flies！I went back to school and my lesson last month.It will be ten months before I attend the College Entrance Examination， makes me worried.I failed pass the English test last term because I had difficulty with it.I will never give up and determine to give myself second chance to pass .I will ask my teachers and friends for on how to improve it and work out a detailed plan.Besides，I will make

month可知，此處描述的是發(fā)生在過去的事情，所以應(yīng)用一般過去時(shí)。第二處：that改為which?？疾槎ㄕZ(yǔ)從句。此處是非限制性定語(yǔ)從句，that不能引導(dǎo)非限制性定語(yǔ)從句，且從句中缺少主語(yǔ)，先行詞為整個(gè)句子，所以關(guān)系詞應(yīng)該用which。第三處：fail后加to?？疾楣潭ù钆洹ail to do sth.是固定用法，表示“未能做成某事”。第四處：刪除because后的of。考查介詞。because of后面跟名詞、代詞或動(dòng)名詞作賓語(yǔ)，文中其后跟的是從句，應(yīng)用because來引導(dǎo)，故刪除of。第五處：the改為a?？疾楣谠~。該處表示“再給自己一次機(jī)會(huì)”，a second chance表示“再一次機(jī)會(huì)”。第六處：them改為it。考查代詞。該處表示“通過英語(yǔ)考試”，應(yīng)用it代指英語(yǔ)考試。第七處：advices改為advice?？疾槊~。advice是不可數(shù)名詞，故把a(bǔ)dvices改為advice。第八處：fully改為full。考查形容詞。該句中的名詞use應(yīng)用形容詞修飾，所以把fully改為full。make full use of“充分利用”。第九處：or改為and。考查并列連詞。此處表示“告訴我(你的建議)，我將不勝感激”。“祈使句and句子”，and表示順承關(guān)系；“祈使句or句子”，or表示“否則”。第十處：hear改為hearing。考查動(dòng)名詞。look forward to短語(yǔ)中to是介詞，后面跟名詞、代詞或動(dòng)名詞作賓語(yǔ)。
