本文是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了一个有趣的梦，他参加了一场赛跑，开始时落后，受到同学的鼓舞后奋起直追，最终第一个冲过终点，当和同学们一起庆祝时，作者醒了，发现这只是一个梦。
【详解】第一处：考查冠词。句意：昨晚我做了一个有趣的梦。此处泛指一个有趣的梦，interesting以元音因素开头，故interesting前的a改为an。
第二处：考查情态动词。句意：我跑不快，落在后面了。could是情态动词，接动词原形，故去掉run 前的to。
第三处：考查连词。句意：但是我没有灰心，继续跑。没有灰心和落在后面是转折而非因果关系，故So 改为But。
第四处：考查时态。操场上的同学都为我加油助威。此处是句子的谓语，动作发生在过去，应该用一般过去时，故cheering改为cheered。
第五处：考查形容词。深受鼓舞的我跑得越来越快，直到我赶上了其他的选手。“比较级+比较级”是固定表达，表示“越来越……”，故fast 改为 faster。
第六处：考查固定搭配。句意参考上题解析。catch up with是固定搭配，表示“赶上”，故up 后加with。
第七处：考查时态。句意：最后，我第一个到达终点。事情发生在过去，应该用一般过去时，故get改为got。
第八处：考查形容词。句意：我为自己感到骄傲。作系动词felt的表语应该用形容词，故proudly改为proud。
第九处：考查名词。句意：很多同学把我抛向空中。Many of后接可数名词复数，故classmate改为 classmates。
第十处：考查代词。句意：就在那时我醒了，发现自己还在床上。此处表示“我自己”，故me改为myself。
20. 假定英语课上老师要求同桌修改作文， 请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有十处语言错误， 每句中最多有两处。错误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(∧)，并在下面写出该加的词。
删除：把多余的词用斜线( \ )划掉。
修改：在错的词下划一横线，在该词下面写出改正后的词。
注意： 每处错误及修改均仅限一次; 只允许修改10处，多者从第11处起不计分。  
During the 20th century the temperature of earth rose rapidly comparing to other natural changes. There is a fierce debate over whether it is human activity which has caused this global warming and it is just a natural phenomenon.
Many scientists believed that people have caused the increase in the earth’s temperature through the burning of fossil fuels. Some byproduct of this process are called “greenhouse” gases, the most importantly one being carbon dioxide.
When they burn fossil fuels , we add huge quantities of extra carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The increased amount of carbon dioxide means that more heat energy is trapping in the atmosphere ，causing the global temperature to rise. Scientists believe that the burning of more and more fossil fuels has resulted at this increase in carbon dioxide.

21. Unusual incidents are being reported across the Arctic. Inuit(因纽特人) families going off on snowmobiles to prepare their summer hunting camps have found themselves cut off from home by a sea of mud. There are also reports of sea ice breaking up earlier than usual, carrying seals beyond the reach of hunters. Climate change may still be a rather abstract idea to most of us, but in the Arctic it is already having great effects---if summertime ice continues to shrink at its present rate, the Arctic Ocean could soon become almost ice-free in summer. The knock- on effects(连锁反应) are likely to include more warming, cloudier skies, and higher sea levels. Scientists are increasingly eager to find out what’s going on in the Arctic.
For the Inuit the problem is urgent. They live in unsteady balance with one of the environments on earth. Climate change, whatever its causes, is a direct danger to their way of life. Nobody knows the Arctic as well as the locals, which is why they are not content simply to stand back and let outside experts tell them what’s happening. In Canada, where the Inuit people are trying hard to guard their hard-won autonomy in the country’s newest land, Nunavut, they believe their best hope of survival in this changing environment lies in combining their ancestral knowledge with the best of modern science. This is a challenge in itself.
The Canadian Arctic is a vast, treeless polar desert that’s covered with snow for most of the year. Adventure into this area and you get some idea of the hardships facing anyone who calls this home. Farming is out of the question and nature offers few pickings. Humans first settled in the Arctic a mere 4,500 years ago, surviving by taking advantage of sea first. The environment tested them to the limits: sometimes the settlers were successful; sometimes they failed and disappeared. But around a thousand years ago, one group appeared that was uniquely well adapted to deal with the Arctic environment. These Thule people moved in from Alaska, bringing dogs, iron tools and the like. They are the ancestors of today’s Inuit people.
Life for the descendants(后代) of the Thule people is still tough. Nunavut is 1.9 million square kilometers of rock and ice, and a handful of islands around the North Pole. It’s currently home to 2,500 people, all but a handful of them Inuit. Over the past 40 years, most have abandoned their nomadic(游牧的) ways and settled in the area’s 28 isolated communities, but they still rely heavily on nature to provide food and clothing.
Supplies available in local shops have to be flown into Nunavut on one of the most costly air networks in the world, or brought by supply ship during the few ice-free weeks of summer. It would cost a family around ￡7,000 a year to replace meat they obtained themselves through hunting with imported meat. Economic opportunities are few, and for many people state benefits are their only income.
63. The Inuit people believe the way to deal with the climate change problem is.
A. to change their way of life
B. to do as their ancestors
C. To try to protect the environment from now on
D. to use their ancestral knowledge and modern science
64. It can be concluded from Paragraph 3 that   .
A. the first settlers in the Arctic survive there quite easily
B. it's hard to farm in the Arctic due to climate change
C. the ancestors of the new people stood out among the settlers
D. the Thule people from Alaska invented iron tools
65. What may be the main reason of Inuit's low income?
A. Their nomadic ways of life
B. Their conservative thought.
C. The severe environment they live in.
D. The natural disasters.
66. Which of the following is the best title for this text?
A. Climate Change and the Inuit
B. Climate Change around the Arctic
C. Global Warming around the World
D. The Inuit and Their Ancestors around the World
参考答案：
63. D    64. C    65. C    66. A

22. When you put down your pens at the end of the college entrance exam, 12 hard years of study will have come to an end. Forget your studies for a while. It’s time to enjoy yourselves!
There are many ways to celebrate this special month of graduation. You can have photos taken with your classmates and teachers, or dine out together and exchange gifts. High school students in Western countries such as the United States and Canada usually have a prom to mark their graduation. It’s to mark the time kids turn into young men and women. After the prom(毕业舞会), teenagers either go to college or find a job. It means they are no longer as dependent on their parents as they were before.
At the prom, boys usually dress in dinner jackets and bow ties, though many different types of formal clothes are worn. Traditionally, girls give boys matching boutonnieres (a small collection of flowers they pin to their jackets). Girls traditionally wear formal dresses, or dress to shock or be noticed, in shiny or brightly color1 ed materials.
Common prom activities include dining, dancing, the crowning (加冠) of a prom king and queen, and just talking to friends. In some cases, high school students collect funds for their class prom through the four years of their high school.
High schools in or near large cities may rent ballrooms at expensive hotels or, to be unusual, on a pleasure cruise boat.
But often costs are cut by simply using the school gym. Students make a lot of effort to decorate the gym to make the event special. The music played at the prom will be the most popular kinds, like rock and hip-hop.
The students elect the Prom Queen. She is partnered with a Prom King who is elected similarly. These are great honors that the pair take very seriously. The two dance with each other to celebrate their election.
Sometimes teachers and
