　　（４） 利用标点符号
　　1. They_________on the program for almost one week before I joined them, and now we_________on it as no good results have come out so far.
　　A. had been working; are still working.
　　B. had worked; were still working
　　C. have been working; have worked
　　D. had been worked; are still working
　　【解析】 答案A，带入法。从语态上排除D，由before I joined就知道是过去完成时加上for almost one week，知道这动作未完成，还有待继续，故用过去完成进行时。后面一句中，now是关键词，用现在进行时。
　　2. —The weather has been very hot and dry.
　　—Yes. If it had rained even a drop, things would be much better now! And my vegetables _________.
　　A. wouldn’t die B. didn’t die
　　C. hadn’t die D. wouldn’t have died
　　【解析】 答案D，还原法。根据答语中的If条件句可以判断此题表示与过去事实相反的虚拟语气。句意：要是当时下雨了，现在的情况就会好多了，我的蔬菜也就不会死了。
　　3. What do you imagine_________him from going?
　　A. to prevent B. preventing
　　C. to have prevented D. prevented
　　【解析】 答案D，去除法。很容易误选B，因为imagine doing是固定词组。其实do you imagine是插入语，本句中缺谓语。句子中若有插入语I think, do you suppose, she told me, to tell you the truth, in my opinion, you know等，在分析句子结构时，可以将它们从句子中去除。
　　4. At one point I made up my mind to talk to Uncle Sam. Then I changed my mind,_________that he could do nothing to help. (2011年上海卷)
　　A. to realize B. realized
　　C. realizing D. being realized
　　【解析】 答案C，标点符号提示法。句中有逗号，提示此处可能有非谓语动词、非限制性定语从句或插入语。
　　5. He spent as much time as he could_________his younger brother with the homework.
　　A. help B. helping
　　C. to help D. helped
　　【解析】 答案B。但容易误选A，以为could是情态动词后加动词原形，该题是考spend...doing的搭配。as much time as he could只是一个修饰的成分。

　　Thanks to a combination of young businessmen, large numbers of university students and revitalization (新生) efforts by the local and national governments, today’s Nanjing has an 1 of youthful exuberance (繁茂) that would have been 2 only a few decades ago. 3 , the city, a booming city of 6.5 million on the banks of the Yangtze River some 185 miles west of Shanghai, bears 4 resemblance to the former capital of China that suffered the worst cruelty and violence of World War II.
　　 5 Nanjing has shown a remarkable capacity for reinvention during its 2500year history. And in recent years, the city has moved 6 its tragic past to become a vital engine of China’s economic growth, thanks 7 to its position in the middle of China’s prosperous eastern seaboard. Growth has also 8 thanks to improved ground transportation: A new bullet train linking Nanjing and Shanghai started service last year, 9 travel time between the cities from several hours to just 75 minutes, and a BeijingShanghai highspeed line is 10 to open later this year, with a stop in Nanjing. Within the city, two metro lines were built in the last few years; 15 more are planned to begin service by 2030.
　　Signs of Nanjing’s 11 wealth and optimism can be seen everywhere. In the heart of the downtown Xinjiekou district, a bronze statue of Sun Yatsen, 12 the father of modern China, looks 13 over a busy 14 area.
　　There is perhaps no more 15 symbol of the city’s transformation than the Zifeng Tower, a 1480foot skyscraper that opened its doors last May. 16 offices, restaurants and an InterContinental hotel, the tower is the second tallest building in China and billed as the seventh tallest in the world.
　　Underlying all this development is a large Chinese and 17 student population—there are several major universities, plus a branch of Johns Hopkins’s international studies school. In fact, art and music 18 in all sorts of places.
　　On a larger 19 , local government officials and private investors are pushing the city as a rising center for contemporary art and architecture, hoping to attract 20 from the neon bathed streets of its neighbor Shanghai.

　　He was an old man who fished alone in a boat in the Gulf Stream and he had gone eightyfour days now without taking a fish. In the first forty days a boy had been with him. But after forty days without a fish the boy’s parents had told him that the old man was now definitely and finally salao, which is the worst form of unlucky, and the boy had gone at their orders in another boat which caught three good fish the first week. It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his skiff empty and he always went down to help him carry either the coiled lines or the gaff (鱼钩) and harpoon (鱼叉) and the sail that was furled around the mast (桅杆). The sail was patched with flour sacks and, furled, it looked like the flag of permanent defeat.
　　The old man was thin and gaunt with deep wrinkles in the back of his neck. The brown blotches（斑点）of the skin cancer the sun brings from its reflection on the tropic sea were on his cheeks. The blotches ran well down the sides of his face and his hands had the deepcreased scars from handling heavy fish on the cords. But none of these scars were fresh. They were as old as erosions in a fishless desert.
　　Everything about him was old except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated.
　　“Santiago,” the boy said to him as they climbed the bank from where the skiff was pulled up. “I could go with you again. We’ve made some money.”
　　The old man had taught the boy to fish and the boy loved him.
　　“No,” the old man said. “You’re with a lucky boat. Stay with them.”
　　“But remember how you went eightyseven days without fish and then we caught big ones every day for three weeks.”
　　“I remember,” the old man said. “I know you did not leave me because you doubted.”
　　“It was papa who made me leave. I am a boy and I must obey him.”
　　“I know,” the old man said. “It is quite normal.”
　　“He hasn’t much faith.”
　　“No,” the old man said. “But we have. Haven’t we?”
　　“Yes,” the boy said. “Can I offer you a beer on the Terrace and then we’ll take the stuff home.”
　　“Why not?” the old man said. “Between fishermen.”
　　1. The boy left the old man and went in another boat to fish because __________.
　　A. the old man preferred to fish alone
　　B. the old man was unlucky
　　C. the boy’s parents ordered him to
　　D. the old man’s sail suggested a permanent defeat
　　2. After reading this passage, we may safely conclude that_________.
　　A. the old man was insistent and not afraid of failure
　　B. the boy’s papa had confidence in everything
　　C. the old man caught big fishes during eightyseven days
　　D. the boy obeyed his father because he had some doubts about the old man
　　3. What might happen after the last paragraph?
　　A. The old man and the boy might go to fish with other fishermen.
　　B. The old man might go to have a drink with the boy.
　　C. The old man and the boy might go to enjoy beer at the old man’s home.
　　D. The old man might go to tell the boy’s papa about the secrets between fishermen.

　　If we agree that the function of education is to prepare us for life, then there is very little time to waste. So, while we can, we ought to concentrate on teaching children something really useful. Here is what our schools should teach.
　　Politeness is a mark of civilization. The sooner children learn this, the better. In any case, a lot can be accomplished by a smile and good manners.
　　Like it or not, our adult lives will be consumed by the struggle for money, but we don’t make an effort to teach children how to manage it. So our schools have a duty to teach them this ability from the beginning.
　　We’re likely to accept something we are told, but that’s not what educated people do. Educated people are reasonable and they look at facts. If our schools teach nothing else, they should at least teach critical (批判性的) thinking.
　　Children should learn to take care of their health. They should know that if they eat junk food (垃圾食品), they will become fat and unhealthy. They should be very clear about what happens to their bodies when they drink or smoke.
　　All of us are part of society. We have rights and responsibilities. We ought to understand what they are. We have to know a little bit of our history and geography, because we need to have an environment in which to relate to the people around us.
　　How will we test students on these? We can’t. But that’s not a reason to avoid teaching what is important. Our schools should spend every moment they have telling this to our children：“This is life, this is what you are going to face, and this is how you deal with it.” (2011年安徽卷)

　　参考词汇：倒计时牌 a countdown board
　　过度关心和监管 excessive care and supervision

　　One possible version:
　　With the College Entrance Examination around the corner, parents are making great efforts to help their child to prepare for it. As is seen in the cartoon, Dad is setting a countdown board, saying that the College Entrance Examination is 11 days away, while mum is cheering the daughter “Come on!”. What is illustrated in the picture is that parents expect too much of their child and try every means to encourage her to work harder. However, the daughter feels unhappy, or rather more stressed.
　　As far as I am concerned, what the parents think about is right, but what they do is wrong. Some students feel stressed at school with the time approaching. When they get home, the countdown board and mother’s words will cause them to become more stressed, which has a bad effect on their moods. As a result, they can’t focus on the study.
　　So it is necessary that parents know what their child needs most at this critical moment. Giving excessive care and supervision only add to the child’s anxiety. It is a regular routine that helps to promote quality revision. Besides, parents should provide relaxing atmosphere for study.
