19、 it all seems to fit together.This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books，which some might honor with the title of scientific research.But curiosity，a keen eye，a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist：one of the outstanding and essential qualities

24、p with solutions in a most natural way第一节单项填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)21. A midnight午夜前不加冠词；get the best of战胜，击败22. A a normal response/reaction to sth.对的正常反应；第二空根据其后的an accident可知选injure。23. B 虚拟语气的考查。对过去事实的虚拟，条件从句用过去完成时，主句用would/could/might+现在完成时。24. C while在此表对比，“尽管”，引起一个让步状语从句。25. D 虚拟条件句中有were/should

25、/had时，可省略if，把were/should/had提前。26. C take up开始从事；save up储蓄；keep up坚持，继续；draw up起草，制定27. D used to do sth.过去常做某事；be devoted to doing sth.致力于做某事；B项错在work上，应该用working。28. B on behalf of“代表”29. D hardships“艰难，苦难，辛苦”；disadvantages“不利之处”；shortcoming“缺点”；troubles“烦恼，困难，麻烦”。30. B without which里隐含了一个虚拟的条件：If

26、 he hadnt given me31. A face vt./ be faced with“面对，面临”；若选D，则要去掉题干中的with.32. D anyway不管怎样；likewise同样地，也；therefore因此；otherwise否则33. C be worthy to be done，形容词短语作后置定语，其前省略了that is；而worth的固定结构为be worth doing。34. B 考查省略。当主句与从句主语一致时，且从句中含有be动词，这是可省略从句主语和be动词，补充完整则为“when it is taken”。35. A 从前一句看，应是对过去的虚拟，因

27、此，but后的句子应该是过去的事实，用一般过去时。第二节完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)【语篇解读】父亲是卡车驾驶员，工作很忙。尽管难得见上一面，我们的关系还是很亲密。我爱我的父亲，因为他的坚持和大度使我获益很多。36C根据本句中的后半句“and comes home only at weekends”可知他工作日通常不会来。37A本句进一步说明父亲回来很少，有时在外面一待就是两个星期。stay away待在外面，不回来。38B从本句的句意来看前面是从句，表示让步，选择cven though表示“即使我不能向我希望的那样经常见到他，可是我们的关系很亲密”。39Dclose形容

28、词“亲密”的意思。40A从本段下文所举的例子中可以看出父亲有一种坚持不懈，永不放弃的品质，这一点在教育子女上也有所体现。give up放弃。41C从本段的描写可以看出作者在开始的时候对于弹钢琴很入迷。be crazy about.对着迷。42D作者对于弹钢琴的态度发生了变化，由刚开始的入迷到后来的厌倦。get boring变得枯燥无味。43B父亲看到我想退缩，千方百计说服我继续弹下去。从本段最后一句也可以看出他的劝说成功了。44C作者听从了父亲的建议。take ones advice听从某人的建议。45C根据下句“for he has been playing the guitar for o

29、ver 20 years“可知父亲在音乐方面很有天赋。46A 本文主要叙述了作者在父亲的影响下是如何培养音乐方面的才能的。compose这里指音乐创作。47B根据下一句可知即使我在才艺比赛中失败了。父亲也不责怪我。由此可见，他一直鼓励我，支持我。48C本句与前一句是并列句，构成句型：Sometimes he can be.and sometimes he can be.。49C从上一句“my biggest critic”可知他对我的错误一点也不放过，从不忽略我的错误。50D根据本句中的encourages可知他总是鼓励我不要灰心。lose heart灰心丧气。51.父亲鼓励我不要灰心丧失希望

30、，因为他认为我所有的努力都会带来好结果，得到回报。pay off带来好结果，得到回报。52D从generous可知，父亲是一个慷慨大方的人，对自己的时间也不吝啬，每个星期四晚上都自愿去儿童俱乐部读书给孩子们听。offer to do表示自愿或主动做某事，而intend to do则表示打算做某事。 53D句中的light up表示“照亮；发出光彩”这里指小孩的脸上露出好奇的神彩。54C有这样的一位父亲，作者应该感到自豪。feel/be proud of.对感到自豪。55B这里与本段中的offer to read呼应。第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题，满分40分)B【语篇解读】通过回忆少年时代的经

31、历，作者发现自己从小就对动物和植物充满好奇心，俨然是个天生的自然学家。由于对大自然充满热爱，作者刻苦钻研自然界的奥秘、博览群书，最终学有所成。作者还对比了成为自然学家和科学家所需具备的不同素质。60A推理判断题。根据第一段中的第二至四句可知，在少年时代，作者与兄弟姐妹们不同，一直对昆虫和花草情有独钟。61D细节理解题。根据第二段中的最后一句可知，作者之所以对亲戚们的记忆很模糊，是因为他更关注家畜、小鸟和昆虫。换言之，他忙于观察大自然。62A正误判断题。由文章第三段第一句及第五段第一句内容可知，作者认为自己是一个自然学家，而非一个科学家，因为自己缺乏成为科学家的一种素质：自律。63B推理判断题。

32、根据最后一段中的“But curiosity，a keen eye，a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist：one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is selfdiscipline，a quality I lack”一句可推断作者认为自己缺乏成为科学家的一种素质：自律。D68B根据第一段中的最后一句话可知答案。69C根据第二段可知答案。70D由最后一段最后一句话可知答案。71A根据前面一句话可知，他是希望这里可以吸引更多的游客。
