After two years of careful consideration, Robert McCrum has reached a conclusion on his selection of the 100 greatest novels written in English. Take a look at a few in his list.
The Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan (1678)
A story of a man in search of truth told with the simple clarity and beauty of Bunyan’s prose makes this an English classic.
Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe (1719)
By the end of the 19th century, no book in English literary history had enjoyed more editions and translations. This world-famous novel is a complex literature that one cannot resist.
Gulliver s Travels by Jonathan Swift (1726)
A great work that s been repeatedly printed, Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels comes third in our list of the best novels written in English.
Clarissa by Samuel Richardson (1748)
Clarissa is a tragic heroine, pressured by her dishonorable family to marry a wealthy man she dislikes, in the book that Samuel Johnson described as “the first book in the world that shows the knowledge about the human heart”.
Tom Jones by Henry Fielding (1749)
Tom Jones is a classic English novel that gets the spirit of its age and whose characters are well-known since they have come to represent the society at that time.
Emma by Jane Austen (1816)
Jane Austen’s Emma is her most outstanding work, mixing the best parts of her early books with a deep sense of feelings.
The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket by Edgar Allan Poe (1838) Edgar Allan Poe’s only novel-a classic adventure story with supernatural elements-has fascinated and influenced generations of writers.

2. 细节理解题。题干问的是关于Clarissa的情况,根据Clarissa by Samuel Richardson (1748)标题下的in the book that Samuel Johnson described as “the first book in the world that shows the knowledge about the human heart可知,这本书被认为是世界上第一部关于剖析人心的小说。故选A。
3. 细节理解题。提干提到Tom Jones,故根据文章Tom Jones by Henry Fielding (1749)标题下的--- whose characters are well-known since they have come to represent the society at that time.可知,这部小说的人物之所以有名是因为他们代表了当时的社会。故选D。
B
When I was a boy there were no smart phones, and our television only got one
channel clearly. Still, I never felt bored. The fields, hills and woodlands around my home were the perfect playground whose adventures were only limited by my imagination. I can remeber once hiking to nearby lake and walking slowly around it. At the back of it I was amazed to find an old dirt road that I had never seen before. It was full of muddy tyre tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides, but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure.
I walked on and on for what seemed like hours. I was sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ears “turn around and head back home”, but I was stubborn and walked on. There was still neither a car nor a house in sight. I noticed that the sun was starting to go and down I grew scared. I didn’t want to end up trapped on this road, and I was worried that it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake again.
I continued to walk on with something growing inside of me. My heart was pounding and my legs were aching. I was almost in tear s when I saw something in the distance. It was a house that I recognized. I jumped up and down and laughed out loud. It was still over a mile away, but my legs felt like feathers and I hurried back to my house in no time. I walked in with a big smile on my face just in time for dinner. Then I ended my adventure with a good night’s sleep.
I often thought of that experience recently. Actually, in our life, all roads, no matter how they twist and turn, can lead us home again. They can lead us to hey can lead us to our homes in our hearts. May you always walk your path with love! May you always help you r fellow travelers along the way! And may your roads always lead you home again!
4. Why did the author hardly feel bored when he was young? A. He could watch TV all day. B. He had many friends to play with. C. He could have fun in nature. D. He used to explore the old dirt road
5. What does the underlined word “something” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to? A. Doubt. B. Fear. C. Hope. D. Courage.
6. How did the author feel when he was exploring the dirt road? A. He was contradictory in mind. B. He was unconscious of danger ahead. C. He was worried to be trapped in the woods.
D. He was afraid of being scolded by his parents. 7. What may be the best title for the passage? A. Every Effort Is Worthwhile. B. Be Brave to Adventure. C. Be Determined in Your Life. D. All Roads Lead Home.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D
【解析】本文是一篇哲理感悟。文章讲述的是“所有的路,最终都是回家的路”。 确实是这样,这辈子所有的路不管怎样波折最终都会引导着我们回家,有的是回到地球上看得见摸得着的家,有的是回到心里的家。
4. 推理判断题。根据第一段中Still, I never felt bored. The fields, hills and woodlands around my home were the perfect playground whose adventures were only limited by my imagination. I can remeber once hiking to nearby lake and walking slowly around it. ---, but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure. 即使这样,我也不觉得无聊。家附近的田野、山坡、林地都是极佳的玩耍场所,只有想不到,没有玩不到的冒险。可知,作者在他年轻的时候之所以几乎没有感到无聊是他可以在大自然中享受乐趣。故选C。
5. 词义猜测题。根据第二段最后一句I grew scared. I didn’t want to end up trapped on this road, and I was worried that it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake again.(我开始害怕起来,我不想等天黑以后困在这条路上,但是如果现在往回,天黑前也回不到湖边。)和第三段第二、三句--- My heart was pounding and my legs were aching. I was almost in tear s when I saw something in the distance.(心跳加速,双腿疼痛,泪水几乎要夺眶而出,我最后抬头一瞥,远处好像有什么东西)由此推知,“我继续朝前走着,恐惧在我心理蔓延”,这说明作者心里害怕,划线词something指的是Fear.故选B。
6. 推理判断题。根据第一段最后两句At the back of it I was amazed to find an old dirt road that I had never seen before. It was full of muddy tyre tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides, but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure. 在湖的后部沿岸,我惊奇的发现之前没有的一条上了些年头的草坪泥泞路。我当即就决定去走走。这条路上遍布凹坑以及泥巴上的轮胎印,在路的两边类似分界线般的扎根的植物,这仍然不失为一个冒险的好场所。可知,当他在泥土路上探险时他的想法是矛盾的。故选A。
7. 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中Actually, in our life, all roads, no matter how they twist and turn, can lead us home again. They can lead us to hey can lead us to our homes in our hearts. May you always walk your path with love! May you always help
you r fellow travelers along the way! And may your roads always lead you home again! 确实是这样,这辈子所有的路不管怎样波折最终都会引导着我们回家,有的是回到地球上看得见摸得着的家,有的是回到心里的家。愿你的人生之路都有爱为伴,愿你在旅途中帮助同路人,愿你人生中的一段又一段旅程都是通往“家”的旅程。可知,本文所讲述的是“所有的路,最终都是回家的路”。故选D。

When we think of leadership, we often think of strength and power. But what are these really, and how do they operate?
Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things. If this is even possible, it is short-tern, and tends to backfire. If you order someone to do something against their will, they may do it because they feel they must, but the anger they feel will do more harm in the long-term. They will also experience fear.
Fear causes the thinking brain to shut down, making the person unable to function at his or her best. If they associate you with .his emotion of fear, they will become less functional around you, and you will have succeeded in not only shooting yourself in the foot, but possibly making a very good employee or partner unable to perform effectively. Fear has no place m leadership.
The way we influence people in a lasting way is by our own character, and our understanding and use of emotion. We can order someone to do something, which may be part of the work day, or we can employ them at the emotional level, so they become fully devoted to the projects and provide some of their own motivation. Today’s work place is all about relationships.
Anyone works harder in a positive environment in which they’re recognized and valued as a human being as well as worker. Everyone produces just a bit more for someone they like. Leaders understand the way things work. They know the pay check is not the single most motivating factor in the work life of most people.
The true strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidence of emotional intelligence—knowing your own emotions, and how to handle them, and those of others. Developing your emotional intelligence is the single best thing you can do if you want to develop your relationships with people around you, which is the key to the leadership skills.
8. An employee man have a feeling of fear in the work place when . A. he is forced to do things B. he cannot work at his best C. he feels his brain shut down
D. he thinks of his work as too heavy
9. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A People tend to associate leadership with fear. B. Good relationship is the key to business success. C. Smart people are more functional in the work place. D. Working conditions affect people’s physical health.
10. To positively influence employees, a leader should first of all . A. develop his own personality B. provide better suggestions C. give his employees a pay raise D. hide his own emotion of fear
11. Good leadership is mainly seen in a leader’s ability to . A. provide a variety of projects for employees B. help raise employees’ living standards C. give employees specific instructions D. deal wisely with employees’ emotions 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. D
【解析】本文是一篇议论文。当我们想到领导的时候,我们常常想到力量和权力。但这些到底是什么,它们是如何运作的呢?文章对此进行了论述。
8. 推理判断题。根据第二段“If youorder someone to do something against their will,they may do it because theyfeel they must..They will also experience fear.”所以恐惧来自于违反意愿而被强制做某事。故选A。
9. 判断正误题。根据最后一段“Thetrue strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidenceof emotional intelligence.”可以判断出好的上下级关系是工作成功的保障。故选B。
10. 推理判断题。根据第四段“or wecan employ them at the emotional level,so they become fully devoted to theprojects and provide some of their own motivation.”和第五段“Anyone works harder in a positive environment in which
they’rerecognized and valued as a human being as well as a worker.”可以推断出应该让被雇佣者发挥自己的能动性和个性,才能更好完成工作。故选A。
11. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Thetrue strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidenceof emotional intelligence—knowing your own emotions,andhow to handle them,and those of others.”可以判断出这里面“others”就是指被雇佣者,所以好的领导者可以更好地处理被雇佣者的情绪。故选D。 【点睛】
做推理题时,有时需要在弄懂全文意思的基础上,整合与题目相关的有用信息,综合起来去推理判断,确定最佳结论。根据最后一段“Thetrue strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidenceof emotional intelligence—knowing your own emotions,andhow to handle them,and those of others.”可以判断出这里面“others”就是指被雇佣者,所以好的领导者可以更好地处理被雇佣者的情绪。故选D。
D
It seems hard to watch someone yawn(打哈欠)and not to yawn ourselves. Even reading about yawning can make you do it. Now, a new study has found why yawning has such a powerful force.
Yawning when others yawn, the study suggests, is a sign of pity and a form of social connection. Kids don’t develop this deeply rooted behavior until around age four, the study found. Kids with autism (自闭症) are less likely to catch yawns. In the most serious cases, they never do. Yawning might help doctors to see whether the children are developing rightly. The work could also lead to a better understanding of the ways that people communicate and connect.
“Emotional infection seems to be a born thing that connects us together,” said Molly Helt, a graduate student in psychology at the University of Connecticut. “Yawning may be part of that.” Inspiration for her study came when she tried to get her own autistic son to clear his ears on an airplane. She repeatedly yawned at him, hoping he would yawn back. He never did.
“The fact that autistic kids don’t do it might mean they’re really missing out on that emotional connection with people around them,” she said. “The biggest thing people try to figure out after birth is how we become humans and understand that humans have minds that are different from others’,” she added. “Autistic people never seem to understand that.”
Like infectious(有感染力的)laughter and crying, scientists have found that yawning is a shared experience that promotes social connection. Helt said it could fight stress after a period of being nervous and spread a feeling of calm through a group.
12. According to the first two paragraphs, what does the new study suggest? A. It is easy to stop yawning when you see others yawn. B. Yawning is a form of communication.
C. Children follow others in yawning just after they are born. D. Yawning has some mysterious force which is related to God. 13. According to Molly Helt, _________.
A. yawning is a kind of emotional connection among humans
B. humans differ from animals because they communicate with others C. emotions are infectious, but yawning is not D. yawning helps clear ears on planes
14. Which of the following is NOT true about yawning? A. It is natural to yawn back if people around you yawn. B. Some kids are too young to yawn after others. C. Kids with autism yawn easily when others yawn. D. Yawning can be used to test children’s development. 15. The author implies in the last paragraph that ________. A. it is bad manners to yawn on some social occasions B. yawning can make people feel relaxed C. the more you yawn, the happier you will be
D. yawning is different from infectious laughter and crying in theory 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】这篇文章主要讲了打哈欠是怜悯心和社会关系的一种表现形式,会在人与人之间相互传染,打哈欠是人们之间的一种情感交流方式,是人们之间沟通的纽带,打哈欠能使人放松。
12. 细节理解题。根据文章第一、二段的描述可知打哈欠是怜悯心和社会关系的一种表现形式,会在人与人之间相互传染。故选B。
13. 细节理解题。结合文章三、四段可知Helt通过患有自闭症的儿子对打哈欠“启而不发”的情况意识到打哈欠是人们之间的一种情感交流方式,是人们之间沟通的纽带。故选A。
14. 细节理解题。根据文章描述可知看到别人打哈欠就会回应是人的一种自然反应;孩子们从四岁开始就会对别人的打哈欠有反应;心理学家也能通过打哈欠的测试了解孩子的心理发展进度,故A、B、C项说法均正确;根据第三段可知自闭症患者对打哈欠的反应不如常人。故选C。
15. 推理判断题。根据Helt said it could fight stress after a period of being nervous and spread a feeling of calm through a group可知,作者在最后一段中暗示,打哈欠可以让人感到放松。故选B。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Living with other people can be difficult, especially when each person has their own ideas about how they want to live. ___16___. Taking a few simple steps
will help you share your living space harmoniously. Discuss your expectations ahead of time.
___17___. This applies to finances, food, possessions, use of common areas, loud activities or parties, quiet hours, and so on. Divide responsibilities.
Make a plan to divide up responsibilities and chores(家常杂务)between you and your roommate. For example, if your roommate is a good cook and you are not, ___18___. It may also be a good idea to set up a chores schedule, where you will take turns cleaning the bathroom, raking out the trash and so on. ___19___.
Not everyone has the same ideas about day to day living as you do. Take your roommate’s feelings into consideration. For instance, if you are dying to throw a party on Thursday night but your roommate has a final early the next morning, agree to postpone the party till Friday evening, instead. Communicate effectively.
Communication is key in making the relationship work. If a problem comes up, it’s better to talk about it right away than to ignore it. For example, say “Chris, it upsets me when I wake up to find all the milk gone. If you use the last of something, can you please add it to the list?” If you simply cannot communicate openly and there is tension all the time, ___20___. A. Be prepared to compromise
B. Create a roommate agreement on Internet use
C. ask him or her to cook if you’ll clean up afterward D. you may as well find a new roommate
E. Though having a roommate can be challenging, it can also be enjoyable and fun from the other
F. People may have different religious or political views that could cause conflict G. Talk about what each of you needs and wants in advance 【答案】16. E 17. G 18. C 19. A 20. D
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些简单的可以帮助你和谐地分享你的生活空间的步骤,从另一个人那里让你得到享受和乐趣。
16. 上文提到“和其他人住在一起生活是很困难的,特别是当每个人关于他们想要如何生活都有自己的想法时。”再根据下文提到“采取一些简单的步骤可以帮助你和谐地分享你
的生活空间。”承接上下文,E项Though having a roommate can be challenging, it can also be enjoyable and fun from the other“虽然有一个室友是很有挑战性的,但从另一个人那里也可以得到享受和乐趣。”切题。该项中的challenging和上文的difficult相吻合;该项中的enjoyable and fun和下文的share harmoniously对应。
17. 根据本段小标题“提前讨论你的期望。”此空位于段落首句,下文提到“这适用于财务、食物、财产、公共区域的使用、喧闹的活动或聚会、安静的工作时间等等。”承接小标题和下文,G项 Talk about what each of you needs and wants in advance“提前谈谈你们每个人都需要什么和想要什么。”切题。该项中的in advance和小标题中的ahead of time吻合;该项中的what each of you needs and wants与下句内容符合。 18. 分析if your roommate is a good cook and you are not, ___3___.的结构,可知该句是if引导的条件状语从句,此空所填内容应该是小写开头,根据前半句“如果你的室友是个好厨师,而你不是,”承接前半句,C项ask him or her to cook if you’ll clean up afterward“让他或她做饭,如果你事后收拾干净”切题。该项中的cook与上半句中的a good cook匹配。
19. 此空属于小标题,应该用短小精悍的祈使句。本段第一、二句提到“不是每个人都有和你一样的日常生活的想法。把你室友的感受考虑进去。”由此可知,A项 Be prepared to compromise“准备妥协”符合题意。
20. 分析If you simply cannot communicate openly and there is tension all the time, ___5___.可知该句是if引导的条件状语从句,此空所填内容应该是小写开头,根据前半句“如果你不能开诚布公地交流,而且总是有紧张的关系,” 承接前半句,D项you may as well find a new roommate“你也可以找个新室友”切题。该项中的a new roommate与上半句的cannot communicate openly相吻合。

第二节 语法填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面材料,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Today we talk about a word that is a feeling as well as a place. This word is “home.” Long ago in the 1700s, “home” was used as a verb, ___41___ (mean) “to be guided to a destination.” So, when you home in on something, you get ___42___ (close) to your target. For example, you could say, “Police are homing in on the suspects.” That is also where we get homing pigeons-pigeons that can find ___43___ (they) way home after being released.
But today, “home” is more often used as a noun. And it has a very emotional ___44___ (connect) for American English speakers. You can remember the meaning of the word by the expression “home is ___45___ the heart is.” That expression means home is anywhere you feel love and comfort. It is a place where you belong, and often a place you consider your origin. In other ___46___ (word), “home” is not ___47___ (simple) a building where you live—that’s a house. There is a big difference ___48___ a home and a house.
The writer, Thomas Wolfe, had ___49___ different idea about home. In 1940, his book “You Can’t Go Home Again” ___50___ (publish). Today we use this title to mean that the ideas and feelings that you had as a child often change when you are an adult. So, even if you return to the place where you grew up, time and distance have changed your perspective (观点).
【答案】41. meaning 42. closer 43. their 44. connection 45. where 46. words 47. simply 48. between 49. a 50. was published
【解析】本文谈论的是关于一个既有一种感觉又是一个地方的单词。这个词是“ home。”文章叙述了这个词的来由及发展。
41. 考查现在分词。很久以前,在18世纪,“家”被用作动词,意思是“被引导到一个目的地”。此处“home”和mean之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词做伴随状态,故答案为meaning。
42. 考查比较级。当你在某件事上回家时,你会更接近你的目标。get closer to更
靠近---,故答案为closer。
43. 考查形容词性物主代词。这也是我们得到归巢的鸽子的地方——鸽子在被释放后可以找到回家的路。此处way是名词,用形容词修饰名词,故答案为their。
44. 考查名词。它对美国的说英语的人有一种情感上的联系。此处emotional是形容词,修饰名词,故答案为connection。
45. 考查表语从句。你可以记住这个词的意思,“家是心所在的地方”。结合句意,此处is后面是where引导的表语从句,故答案为where。
46. 考查固定结构。In other words换句话说,故答案为words。
47. 考查副词。“家”不仅仅是你住的房子——那是一个家庭。此处副词修饰整个句子,故答案为simply。
48. 考查介词。家和房子之间有很大的区别。between---and---,---和---之间---,故答案为between。
49. 考查不定冠词。作家托马斯沃尔夫对家有一个不同的看法。“一个不同的看法”,故答案为a。
50. 考查被动语态。根据in 1940,再根据句子主语his book和publish之间是被动关系,可知句子用一般过去时态的被动语态,故答案为was published。 第四部分 写作(百强校英语解析团队专供)(共两节,满分35分) 第一节 短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
51. 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改同桌写的以下作文。文中共有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(∧),并在其下面写出该加的词。 删除:把多余的词用斜线(\\)划掉。

In addition, he often gave his encouragement to us, but we have make a great progress. As a result, he is popular with our students. We all love him.
【答案】
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。介绍自己的班主任李老师。他不仅严格,而且很善良,很有耐心。他在我们学生中很受欢迎。
1.考查固定结构。In one’s +逢10的基数词的复数形式,表示“在某人几十几岁时”,故把thirty改成thirties。
2.考查固定用法。他现在已经三十多岁了,已经教了将近十年了。此处表示“一段时间”,故答案为for。
3.考查不可数名词。Knowledge知识,是不可数名词,无复数形式,故把knowledges改成knowledge。
4.考查主语从句。他在课堂上教我们的东西给我们留下了深刻的印象。此处句子的主语是一个句子,主语从句缺少引导词,且从句中谓语动词teach缺少宾语,其双重作用,故把That改成What。
5.考查形容词。他在课堂上教我们的东西给我们留下了深刻的印象。impression(印象),是名词,用形容词修饰,deeply是副词,故把deeply改成deep。
6.考查部分倒装。他不仅严格,而且很善良,很有耐心。Not only位于句子开头,句子用部分倒装,句子用一般现在时态,be strict严格的,句子主语是he,故在he前加is。 7.考查时态。另外,他经常给我们鼓励。结合上文可知句子用一般现在时态,句子主语是he故把gave改成gives。
8.考查并列连词。此外,他经常鼓励我们,所以我们取得了很大的进步。此句前后是一种因果关系,故把but改成so。
9.考查不可数名词。make progress取得进步,其中progress是不可数名词,无复数形式,前面不能加不定冠词,故把great前的a去掉。
