试题分析：本题考查动词时态。句意：我发现演讲很难懂，因为当我到达的时候，演讲已经开始了。根据题干信息，“不能跟上演讲的原因是，我到达的时候演讲已经开始”，“到达”为过去时，“已经开始”应该用过去完成时。所以选D。

B
考查过去分词作状语，分析句子结构she  couldn’t spare any time to go for a holiday.是句子,前面没有连词,只能是分词作状语；固定结构be occupied with 忙于么事,状语的逻辑主语为主句的主语，所以省略be动词直接用过去分词作状语，故选B。

Last Friday, the students in our school are organized to visit the exhibition on China’s development. We watched some outstanding achievement in China and a guide gave us unusual introduction to the exhibition. While visiting, they were excited and proud of that our nation had achieved. After visited the exhibition, we had a class meeting in the classroom. We worked in groups and delivered a short speech on turn, sharing our thoughts on what we have seen. Neither the exhibition or the class meeting is memorable. We will do nothing but to work hard and make contributions to our country.

【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者学校组织参观关于中国发展的展览，并召开主题班会的事情。
【详解】第一处：考查时态。根据时间状语last Friday，此处应该用一般过去时。故将are改为were。
第二处：考查名词的数。句意：我们看到了中国的一些杰出的成就。根据句意可知，在此处应使用可数名词复数表示泛指，故将achievement改为achievements。
第三处：考查冠词。分析句子结构可知，introduction是可数名词，这里表示“一个不寻常的介绍”，故将unusual前面加上an。
第四处：考查代词。句意：访问期间，我们为我们国家取得的成就感到兴奋和自豪。此处they指代错误，根据句意和语境，故将they改为we。
第五处：考查宾语从句连接词。分析句子结构可知，of后引导宾语从句，that在宾语从句中不能作achieved的宾语，表示“所……的”，故将that改为what。
第六处：考查非谓语动词。根据句中after可知，其后动词应用-ing形式，故将visited改为visiting。
第七处：考查介词短语。句意：我们分组工作，依次做了一个简短的演讲。in turn意为“轮流”，故将on改为in。
第八处：考查时态。根据语境可知，see的动作发生在work和deliver之前，故用过去完成时，故将have改为had。
第九处：考查连词。句意：无论是展览还是班会都是值得纪念的。whether…or意为“无论……还是……”，故将Neither改为Whether。
第十处：考查介词。句意：我们只有努力工作并且为我们的国家做出贡献。分析句子结构可知，nothing but后跟to do还是do要看主句中是否有实意动词do，如果有，则but后加动词原形故去掉to。
【点睛】一般过去时和过去完成时的区别：
①时间状语不同：过去完成时在时间上强调“过去的过去”；而一般过去时只强调过去某一特定的时间。
比较：They had arrived at the station by ten yesterday.
They arrived at the station at ten yesterday.
②过去完成时表示过去的过去，不单独使用，一般和一般过去式一起使用。
③当两个或两个以上接连发生的动作用and或but连接时，按时间顺序，只需用一般过去时来代替过去完成时；另外，在 before, after , as soon as 引导的从句中，由于这些连词本身已经表示出时间的先后，因此也可以用过去时来代替过去完成时。

三、 阅读理解
21. Water goes around and around Earth in a never ending journey called the water cycle（循环）. The sun heats up lakes, oceans, and other wet places on Earth. When the water gets warm enough, it changes into vapour. Plants also give off lots of water vapour. Some of this water vapour cools off high in the sky and becomes clouds. Then it falls back to Earth in a new place as rain or snow. This cycle happens over and over again. *ks*5u
     The ground can absorb water like a sponge (海绵). If you could see this groundwater, it wouldn’t look like a lake or river. The groundwater is mixed in with the rocks and sand that lie in layers(层) below Earth’s surface.
     Groundwater moves along slowly. How slowly? Maybe 1.5 kilometres in one century. Some of this water has been underground for thousands of years. And once groundwater is pumped out of the ground from a deep well（井） by people, it may take hundreds of years for another water to take its place.
57.In which order does water go around Earth?
   a .Fall down as rain or snow. 
b. Heated up by the sun on lakes, oceans and other wet places.
   c. Cool off high in the sky.    
d. Form clouds.    
e. Change into vapour.
   A. dacbe          B. becda           C. caebd          D. bceda
58. The groundwater seems to________.
   A. be just on the ground        B. be pure water like that in a lake or river
   C. exist in rocks and sand       D. flow along like rivers or streams
59. The underlined word “pumped” in the passage can be replaced by________.
   A. run        B. pushed      C. drawn         D. picked
60. What conclusion（结论） can we draw from the passage?
   A. Groundwater can be quickly replaced by other water once pumped out.
   B. Groundwater is very valuable.
   C. Groundwater has nothing to do with human beings.        
D. Groundwater travel in an unknown way.

22. 阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。（请注意问题后的字数要求）
Have you considered studying abroad, but are not sure whether it’s worth our time? Perhaps you’re not certain what benefits you can get from an extended stay in a foreign country. Here are some very excellent reasons why you should study in a foreign county?
     1. Studying abroad is the best way __________. There is no better and more effective way to learn a language than to study in a culture that speaks the language you’re learning. You’re surrounded by the language on a daily basis ，seeing and hearing it in the proper cultural context. Language learning happens most quickly under these circumstances.
     2. Studying abroad provides the opportunity to travel. Weekends and academic breaks allow you to venture out and explore your surroundings— both your immediate and more distant surroundings. Since studying abroad often puts you in a completely different country, you are much closer to places you might otherwise not have had the opportunity to visit.
     3. Studying abroad allows you to get to know another culture at first hand. Cultural differences are more than just habits. A person’s culture reflects very deep thoughts, beliefs, and values that influence his or her way of life and that he or she views the world. Students who experience cultural differences personally can truly understand where other cultures are coming from.
     4. Studying abroad affords you the opportunity to make friends around the world. While abroad, you will meet not only natives to the culture in which you are studying, but also other international students who are as far from home as you.
     5. Studying abroad raises employment opportunities. As the world continues to become more globalized, American countries are increasingly investing dollars abroad, and companies from countries around the world continue invest in the international market. Through an employer’s eyes, a student who has studied abroad is independent。 Your experience living and studying in a foreign country, knowing about other culture and another language will make you have many advantages over the other job applicants.（求职者）
