7、ohn was asked to go on a business trip and Mary needed to go along too. They found a babysitter to care for the11 and made the trip, returning home a little earlier than they had planned.As they drove into their home town, they 12 smoke, and they went to see what it was. Theyfound a home on fire. Ma
8、ry said, “Oh, well, it isnt our home. Lets go.”But John drove 13 and said, “The home belongs to Fred Jones who works at the factory. Hewouldnt be off work yet, maybe theres something we would do.” “It has something to do withus,” said Mary.But John drove up, stopped and found the whole house on fire
9、. A woman in the street wascrying, “The children! 14 the children!” John grabbed（抓）her by the shoulder saying, “Get ahold of yourself and tell us where the children are!” “In the 15 , ”cried the woman, “down thehall and to the left.”Although Mary didnt agree, John wet his clothes and 16 for the bath
10、room which was full ofsmoke and heat. He found the door and grabbed two children, holding one under each arm. As he left he could hear some other sound like crying. He sent the two badly 17 and nearly suffocated（窒息）children into waiting arms. Then he was told two more children were still in there. M
11、arygrabbed his arm and shouted, “John! Dont go back! That house will fall down in any second!”But he shook her off and went back by 18 his way down the smoke-filled hallway and intothe room. It seemed a century had passed 19 he found both children and started back. Theywere coughing and he lowered h
12、is body trying to get some 20 . As he walked up the endlesssteps, the thought went through his mind that there was something strangely familiar about thelittle bodies, and at last when they came out into the sunlight and fresh air, he found that he hadjust saved his own children.The babysitter had l
13、eft them at this home while she did some shopping.11.A. childrenB. pet C. gardenD. business解析：此处考查名词。由前面的babysitter可知此空应填children。答案：A12. A. watchedB. recognizedC. noticedD. realized解析：此处考查动词。空后面为smoke，固应选择noticed注意到；watch意为“看”；recognize意为“认出来，承认”；realize意为“认识到，实现”。答案：C13.A. fartherB. offC. backD. c
14、loser解析：此处考查副词。but表示转折，与“Lets go”相反，并且下一段第一句为“But John drove up”，所以，选择closer。其他三个选项皆为相反的意思。答案：D14.A. FindB. GetC. MoveD. Hold解析：此处考察动词辨析。当时John、Mary及老太太都在房子外，想要救出孩子，需先进入房子，找到孩子，才能带出，此路线有双向的含义。A. Find“找到”，只是强调了进入的结果，并没有要“带出”的含义，故不选。B. Get本身就有双向的含义，即go and bring,如Could you get me todays newspaper?你能帮我
15、拿今天的报纸吗？即“过去拿到再带来”之意。C. Move“搬”，后面不与人搭配。D. Hold “拿”，错因同C。故选B。答案：B 15.A. bathroomB. kitchenC. bedroomD. living room解析：此处考查名词。此空为被困儿童的位置，由下文36空后面bathroom可知选择A。答案：A16.A. lookedB. caredC. headedD. reached解析：此处考查动词。head for意为“朝.行进”。Look for寻找；care for照料；reach for伸 出.以触及。答案：C17.A. frightenedB. surprised C
16、. sadD. sick解析：此处考查为形容词。frightened害怕的，受惊的；surprised惊奇的，惊讶的；sad悲伤的；sick生病的。根据文章情境，孩子应该是被惊吓到并且几乎窒息，所以选A。答案：A18.A. followingB. goingC. pushingD. feeling解析：此处考察动词辨析。需要联系上下文，盲做必死无疑。上文“Mary grabbed his arm andshouted, “John! Dont go back! That house will fall down in any second!”交代背景，此时已经非常凶险，John如果再进入，会有
17、生命危险。下文修饰“way”的是“down the smoke-filled hallway and into the room”，此处smoke-filled非常关键，意为“浓烟密布的”，一个成人在浓烟中很难睁开眼睛，只能靠摸索前进。最常见的错误选A，“follow ones way”表示“沿着某人的路”，似乎有道理；B. go ones way表示直观的“走出一条路”，缺乏描述性；C. push ones way “闯出一条路”，常用于人多时的竞争场合，故不选；D. feel ones way“摸索一条路”，在眼睛看不见的状况下，用“摸索”更加生动地体现John的搜救过程。故D为最佳选项。
18、答案：D19.A. afterB. beforeC. whenD. until解析：此处考查介词辨析。原句为“It seemed a century had passed 39 he found both children andstarted back.”这个句子主句“It seemed”为一般过去时，从句“a century had passed 39 he found both children and started back”为过去完成时，表示“在他找到两个孩子似乎过去了一个世纪”，这是对John救人的心理描写，是救人结束后的有感而发。A. after “在之后”，B. before
19、 “在之前”，C. when “在时”, D. until“直到”。此处强调找孩子的过程非常艰难，故选择B。答案：B20.A. waterB. energyC. airD. light解析：此处考查名词。放低身体试着获得一些空气。固选air。答案：C 六、阅读理解（共15分，每小题2分）ABorn in England, Elizabeth moved to theUnited States when she was 11 years old.

34、but a number.Youre not too young to change the world. Planning an event alongsideyoung people makes you realize that kids have ideas that an adult might usually not think of,” saidone TEDx Youth speaker. Another speaker said, “What I have come to realize is that no matterwhere you live or how old yo
35、u are, everyone is eager to be someone great.”Organizing a TEDx Youth event shows that kids are able to do much more than whatsexpected.

Indias indoor air pollution is even worse.The WHO says its Indias second biggest killer, after high blood pressure, and results in 1.3million deaths every year.But can plants really clean the air?NASA published several studies in the 1980
49、s showing indoor plants could clean the air. Itlater tested the value of the plants to both clean air and recycle waste in building known as theBioHome.
