Ⅲ.多项选择
1．(2010年高考山东卷)Mothers holding jobs outside the home should have ________ schedules to make it easier to care for their children.
A．heavy B．smooth
C．flexible D．complex
解析：选C。句意为：外出工作的母亲们应该灵活安排，以便能更加轻松地照顾孩子。flexible“灵活地，可变通地”，符合题意。heavy“沉重的”；smooth“光滑的”；complex“复杂的”。
2．Before Tom left home，his mother kept telling him to ________ his manners at the party.
A．watch B．mind
C．observe D．notice
解析：选B。mind指注意，留心；watch强调注视，notice指注意到。
3．(2014年潍坊高二检测)Her attitude to the party is ________.She said she liked it but she refused to attend it.
A．controversial B．contradictory
C．contemporary D．conventional
解析：选B。考查词义辨析。根据语境“她说她喜欢却拒绝参加”可知她的态度是矛盾的，因此用contradictory。controversial“有争议的”主要指某事容易引起争论，用在本句中不合适。contemporary“当代的”，conventional“传统的”。
4．I don’t like the pattern of the trousers.________，the color doesn’t suit me.
A．However B．Instead
C．Besides D．Another
解析：选C。表示前后意义的递进关系时用besides。
5．Tom succeeded in ________ all the difficulties in his studies and became a college student.
A．overcoming B．affecting
C．hitting D．knocking
解析：选A。overcome意为“战胜；克服”，根据所提供的情景became a college student可判断出他克服了学习中的一切困难。affect影响，感动；hit击打；knock碰，撞。
6．There was such a long queue for coffee at the interval that we ________ gave up.
A．eventually B．unfortunately
C．generously D．purposefully
解析：选A。考查词义辨析。句意：中间休息时排队喝咖啡的人特别多，所以我们最后放弃了。eventually“最后；最终”符合语境。unfortunately“不幸的是”，generously“慷慨地；大方地”，purposefully“故意地”。
7．Having walked in the desert for several days，they felt exhausted，but they had to find a pool before the water they had in the bottle ________.
A．put out B．kept out
C．ran out D．used up
解析：选C。句意是：他们在沙漠中行走了几天后，已是疲惫不堪了，但是他们必须在瓶中的水用光之前找到池塘。put out熄灭；kept out把……挡在外面；ran out不及物动词短语，意为“用光；耗尽”；used up是及物动词短语，意为“用光”，在此句中要用被动语态。
8．No one seems to have any ________ information about her.So she remains a mystery to everyone.
A．concluding B．detail
C．concrete D．complete
解析：选C。考查词义辨析。句意：似乎没有人知道关于她的任何具体信息。因此她对每一个人来说仍然是个谜。concrete“具体的”符合语境。concluding“的；最后的”，detail是名词，意为“细节”，complete“彻底的；完全的”。
9．A good teacher must know how to ________ his ideas to the students，as generally agreed by educational experts.
A．transmit B．transfer
C．convey D．communicate
解析：选C。句意是：像教育专家一致认同的那样，一个好的老师应该知道怎样把他的思想传达给他的学生。transmit“传输，转送，传达，传导，发射，传播”；transfer“转移，调转，调任，传递，转让，改变”；convey“传达，表达”；communicate“沟通，通信，(房间、道路、花园等)相通，传达，感染”。

Ⅳ.阅读理解
A
November not only marks the publication of Toni Morrison’s eagerly anticipated(期待) eighth novel，Love，but it is also the tenth anniversary of her Nobel Prize for Literature.Morrison is the first black woman to receive a Nobel，and so honored before her in literature are only two black men: Wole Soyinka，the Nigerian playwright，poet and novelist，in 1986; and Derek Walcott，the Caribbean?born poet，in 1992.But Morrison is also the first and only American?born Nobel prizewinner for literature since 1962，the year novelist John Steinbeck received the award.
Like Song of Solomon，Love is a multigenerational story，revealing the personal and communal legacy(遗产) of an outstanding black family.As Morrison scholars will tell you，Love is the third volume of a literary master’s trilogy(三部曲) investigating the many complexities of love.This trilogy began with Beloved(1988)，which deals with a black mother’s love under slavery and in freedom.Jazz (1993)，the second volume，tells a story of romantic love in 1920s Harlem.This latest novel looks back from the 1970s to the 1940s and ’50s.
The emotional center of Love is Bill Cosey，the former owner and host of the shabby Cosey’s Hotel and Resort in Silk，North Carolina，described in the novel as “the best and best?known vacation spot for colored folk on the East Coast.” We get to know Cosey through the memories of five women who survive and love him: his granddaughter，his widow，two former employees，and a homeless young girl.
The latest novel，Love，had been described in the promotional material from her publisher as “Morrison’s most accessible work since Song of Solomon.” This comparison to her third novel，published in 1977，was an effective selling point.
1．What would be the best title for the text?
A．Toni Morrison’s latest novels
B．Toni Morrison and her trilogy
C．Toni Morrison and her novel Love
D．Toni Morrison，the Nobel prizewinner
解析：选C。主旨大意题。本文先讲了Toni Morrison得到了Nobel Prize，然后介绍了她的小说Love的主要内容，因此title应该选C。
2．What can we learn about John Steinbeck?
A．He was a black writer.
B．He was born in America.
C．He received the Nobel Prize after Morrison.
D．He was the first American novelist to win a Nobel.
解析：选B。细节推断题。从第一段“Morrison is also the first and only American－born Nobel prizewinner for literature since 1962，the year novelist John Steinbeck received the award.”可知Morrison 是在John 1962年得奖之后的第一个美国本土出生的诺贝尔奖获得者，因此John是美国人，B正确。
3．The similarity between Love and Song of Solomon is that they both ________.
A．belong to the same trilogy together with Beloved
B．concern families of more than one generation
C．deal with life of blacks under slavery
D．investigate life in 1820s Harlem
解析：选B。细节推断题。从第二段第一句“Like Song of Solomon，Love is a multigenerational story”，可知这两本书的相同点是multigenerational，因此选B。
4．The novel Love mainly describes ________.
A．the best?known vacation spot for blacks
B．the life of an outstanding black family under slavery
C．the miserable experience of the five women in Harlem
D．the memories of five women about Bill Cosey
解析：选D。推断题。从第三段“The emotional center of Love is Bill Cosey”和“We get to know Cosey through the memories of five women who survive and love him”可知love的中心内容是D。
B
No poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed”，until it has been read aloud by someone，teacher or student.Better still，perhaps，is the practice of reading it twice，once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end，so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it.
All discussions of poetry are，in fact，preparations for reading it aloud，and the reading of the poem is，finally，the most telling “interpretation” of it，suggesting tone，rhythm，and meaning all at once.Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice，on records or on film，is obviously a special reward.But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it or，best of all，reciting it.
I have come to think，in fact，that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analyzing” it，if there isn’t time for both.I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry.Poetry is “a criticism of life”，and “a heightening(提升) of life”．It is “an approach to the truth of feeling”，and it “can save your life”．It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.
I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry.Those who don’t like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else.But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature，about its sound as well as its sense，and they must make_room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.
5．To have a better understanding of a poem，one should ________.
A．discuss it with others
B．analyze it by oneself
C．copy it down in a notebook
D．practise reading it aloud
解析：选D。推理判断题。阅读文章第一段可以得出答案，这一段主要说明了读诗的重要性。
6．Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a function of poetry?
A．Extending your life.
B．Saving your life
C．Criticizing life
D．Heightening life.
解析：选A。细节理解题。根据文章第三段第三、四句话可知B、C、D三项都是诗歌的作用，而A项没有提到。
7．What does the last sentence in Paragraph 3 imply?
A．More stress should be laid on the teaching of poetry.
B．Poetry is more important than any other subject.
C．One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry.
D．Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses.
解析：选A。推理判断题。这句话的意思是“在语言和文学的教学中诗歌应该拥有比现在更重要的位置”。显然选项A符合题意。
8．The underlined phrase “make room” in the last paragraph could be best replaced by “________”．
A．build a room
B．provide equipment
C．leave a certain amount of time
D．set aside enough space
