In ancient times, there was a king who wanted a special kind of horse. It could run 1,000 li a day, which was called qianlima. He sent many people to find these horses, but nobody found 3 (he) such a horse.
One day, someone new 4 (volunteer) to help. Within three months, he heard about a qianlima. He rushed to find it, 5 the horse was already dead. Still, he bought the bones of the horse with 500 pieces of gold. The king was very angry. “What I want is a live horse, 6 the bones of a dead horse!”
The man answered calmly, “Imagine this. You’re willing to pay a high price for a dead horse, let alone a live one. This shows people you truly wish to buy the horses. Just wait and the horses you want 7 (come) very soon.” Indeed, within a year, many qianlima owners brought their horses to the king.
Guo told the king that he could see himself as the bones of the horse. “If I 8 (value), more talents will be willing to serve the state,” he said. The king built houses for Guo and treated him as his teacher. Soon, talented people across the state came to help the king. His state finally 9 (beat) the State of Qi.

【解析】本文主要讲述了战国时期燕昭王想召集人才使国家强大，于是他向郭隗请教，郭隗给他讲述了一个故事。燕昭王从中领悟到了吸引人才的办法。
1. 句意：战国时期，燕国国君燕昭王想要招揽人才以使国家强大。根据该句的谓语动词wanted可知，所给动词make在句中做非谓语；且结合句意可知，此处表示“为了让……”之意，应该填入所给动词的不定式形式to make。故填to make。
2. 句意：他向学者郭隗请教建议。ask sb. for sth.意为“向某人要某物”，是固定搭配，由此可知，这里需要名词。所给词advise为动词，其名词是advice，意为“建议”，为不可数名词。故填advice。
3. 句意：他派了很多人去寻找这些马，但没有人给他找到这样的马。分析句子结构可知，空前的动词 found 后接人称代词宾格，he的宾格为 him。故填him。
4. 句意：有一天，一个新人自告奋勇去帮忙。根据上下文可知，这里讲述的是过去的故事，用一般过去时。动词用过去式 volunteered。故填 volunteered。
5. 句意：他急忙去找它，但马已经死了。根据空前一句“He rushed to find it”以及空后一句“the horse was already dead.”可知，前后句之间为转折关系，应该填入表转折的连词but。故填but。
6. 句意：“我想要的是一匹活马，不是一匹死马的骨头！”根据前句“What I want is a live horse.”可知，国王想要的是一匹活马，所以此处是指国王想要一匹活马，而不是死马的骨头；且not...but...意为“不是……而是……”，为固定搭配。故填not。
7. 句意：只要等待，你想要的马很快就会到来。分析句子结构可知，此空应填入谓语动词。根据空后的“very soon”可知，本句需用一般将来时，即will+动词原形。故填will come。
8. 句意：“如果我被重视，更多的人才会愿意为国家服务，”他说。if 引导的条件状语从句中，“I”和“value”之间是被动关系，表示“如果我被重视”，所以用被动语态 be valued；主语是“I”，be 动词用 am。故填am valued。
9. 句意：他的国家最终打败了齐国。分析句子结构可知，所给动词beat在句中做谓语；此处讲述的是过去的故事，用一般过去时，动词用过去式 beat。故填beat。
10. 句意：另一方面，如果你有全面的能力，不要等待别人来找你，你可以主动推销自己。根据空前“On the other hand”可知，所填词及其后的“of waiting for someone to find you”与前文形成对比关系，应该填入介词instead构成介词短语instead of。故填instead。
八、语法选择

More problems broke out in his kingdom—his enemies endlessly attacked and diseases spread all over his country which made many of his people 11 ill. He did not have the wisdom that could help him solve the problems. He did not know what 13 !

【解析】战国时期，魏国攻打赵国并包围赵都邯郸，赵国向齐国求救。齐国将领孙膑献策，不直接救援邯郸，而是率军前往防守薄弱的魏都大梁。魏军得知都城受威胁，立即撤军回援，途中遭埋伏的齐军击败。最终齐国成功解救赵国，这一 “围魏救赵” 的策略，体现了智慧比武力更重要的道理。
1.D.句意：战国时期，魏国决定攻打赵国。A. attach 附上、依附；B. attribute 把…… 归因于；C. attract 吸引；D. attack 攻击、攻打。根据后文 “it was soon surrounded by Wei’s strong army”（赵国都城很快被魏国大军包围）可知，魏国的行为是 “攻打” 赵国，故选 D。
2.D句意：赵国的都城邯郸位于北方，很快就被魏国的精锐部队包围了。A. was different from 与…… 不同；B. was made up of 由…… 组成；C. was famous for 因…… 闻名；D. was located in 位于……。此处描述邯郸的地理位置，“be located in” 是表达 “位于某地” 的常用搭配，符合语境，故选 D。
3.A 句意：孙膑没有直接率军前往邯郸，而是想出了一个巧妙的计策。A. trick 计策、计谋；B. challenge 挑战；C. mind 头脑、想法（侧重抽象的思维）；D. instruction 指示、命令。根据后文 “Surround Wei to Save Zhao”（围魏救赵）可知，这是一个具体的 “计策”，“trick” 在此处指巧妙的策略，符合语境，故选 A。
4.D.句意：因此，齐国军队悄悄向魏国都城大梁进军。A. Though 虽然（表转折）；B. Anywhere 任何地方（表地点）；C. However 然而（表转折）；D. Therefore 因此（表因果）。前文孙膑提出 “攻打大梁以解邯郸之围” 的计策，后文 “向大梁进军” 是该计策的执行，二者为因果关系，故选 D。
5. B句意：因此，齐国军队悄悄向魏国都城大梁进军。A. went their way to 表述不规范（正确表达为 “make one’s way to”）；B. made their way to 前往、向…… 进发（强调艰难或有目的的行进）；C. on their way to 在去…… 的路上（是介词短语，不能作谓语）；D. got their way in 表述错误（无此固定搭配）。句子缺少谓语动词，且需表达 “向大梁进军” 的含义，“made their way to” 符合语法和语境，故选 B。
6.C句意：当魏国将领得知自己的都城遭到袭击时，他非常害怕，立即率领大部分军队返回救援大梁。A. suddenly 突然；B. eventually 最终；C. immediately 立即、马上；D. especially 尤其。根据 “he was very scared”（他非常害怕）可知，将领应是 “立刻” 率军返回，体现紧急性，故选 C。
A. filling B. pretending C. entering D. hiding
7.D.句意：在返回的路上，疲惫的魏军突然遭遇了一直在那里秘密埋伏的齐军。A. filling 充满；B. pretending 假装；C. entering 进入；D. hiding 隐藏、埋伏。根据 “secretly there, waiting for them”（秘密地在那里等待他们）可知，齐军是 “隐藏” 起来埋伏魏军，故选 D。
8. C句意：最终，齐军没有在邯郸打一场大仗，就成功解救了赵国。A. remaining 保持、剩余（常与介词 “in” 搭配，但 “remain in” 表示 “停留在……”，不符合 “解救赵国” 的语境）；B. managing 设法做到（常与 “to do” 搭配，即 “manage to do”，此处空后是 “in”，语法不符）；C. succeeded 成功（“succeed in doing sth” 是固定搭配，意为 “成功做某事”，符合语境）；D. attempting 尝试（“attempt in doing sth” 表述不规范，常用 “attempt to do sth”）。结合语法和 “成功解救赵国” 的语义，故选 C。
9. A.句意：赵国人非常高兴，举办了一场盛大的宴会来庆祝他们的胜利。A. victory 胜利；B. independence 独立；C. intelligence 智慧；D. cooperation 合作。前文提到 “魏军被打败，赵国被解救”，赵国的最终结果是 “获胜”，因此庆祝的是 “胜利”，故选 A。
10. D. 句意：这个故事告诉我们，有时候，运用智慧比使用武力更有力。A. bravery 勇敢；B. determination 决心；C. teamwork 团队合作；D. wisdom 智慧。“围魏救赵” 是靠计策而非蛮力取胜，体现的是 “智慧”，与 “force”（武力）形成对比，故选 D。
十、阅读理解
In Venice, Antonio, a merchant (商人), borrowed money from Shylock, a greedy (贪婪的) person who lent money to people. They signed an unfair contract (合同).If Antonio couldn’t return the money, Shylock could get Antonio’s one pound of flesh (肉). Unluckily, he failed to pay back the money. The case was now in the hands of the wise judge (法官) Portia.
Judge Portia gave her decision: ”One pound of the merchant’s flesh is yours. It’s what the contract says. You may take his flesh.” Shylock held his knife and told Antonio to get ready. “Wait!” said Portia. “You will not do anything not written in the contract. Is that right, Shylock ”
“Yes,that’s right,” said Shylock,wondering what the judge would say next.
“Well,”“said Portia,”I’ve read the contract. It doesn’t say anything about taking his blood. It says ‘a pound of flesh\ You can take your pound of flesh, but you may not take one drop of his blood. If you do, the Duke (公爵) will take everything you own!”
Antonio praised Portia’s wisdom. Portia then told Shylock, “You wanted justice (正义), and you’ll get it.” Shylock didn’t want to lose everything, so he decided not to take the flesh. Instead, he asked for money: ”Give me ninety thousand dollars, and I’ll let Antonio go.”
Bassanio, Antonio’s friend, was happy to pay. He was very pleased that his friend Antonio would not die.________.
“Wait!” Portia said again.”Shy lock cannot get the money. It is not written in the contract.”
Shylock said he only wanted his money back without interest (利息). But Portia stopped him again: ”You said you only wanted what was in the contract.”
Shylock realized he wouldn’t get the flesh or the money. He decided to go home. But Portia stopped him for the third time: ”The law of Venice says if you plan to kill a citizen, you’ll lose everything. Half of your wealth goes to the person you tried to kill, and half to the Duke.”
—Adapted from The Merchant of Venice

【答案】1. B 2. B 3. C 4. C
【分析】本文是戏剧故事。本文节选自莎士比亚小说《威尼斯商人》。节选部分讲述了法官Portia利用自己的聪明才智帮助了商人安东尼奥。
1. 细节理解题。根据“If Antonio couldn’t return the money, Shylock could get Antonio’s one pound of flesh (肉).”可知，如果安东尼奥不能还钱，夏洛克可以得到安东尼奥身上的一磅肉。所以根据合同如果安东尼奥不能还钱，夏洛克能得到一磅安东尼奥的肉。故选B。
2. 推理判断题。根据前文“Bassanio, Antonio’s friend, was happy to pay. He was very pleased that his friend Antonio would not die.”以及后文“‘Wait!’ Portia said again. ‘Shy lock cannot get the money. It is not written in the contract.’”可知，巴萨尼奥很高兴能付钱，但波西亚阻止了夏洛克拿走钱。所以横线处应填“But Portia stopped Shylock from taking the money.”。故选B。
3. 细节理解题。根据文章内容，首先是“Antonio, a merchant (商人), borrowed money from Shylock”即安东尼奥向夏洛克借钱但还不上（c）；接着“Shylock held his knife and told Antonio to get ready.”即夏洛克拿着刀准备取安东尼奥的肉（a）；然后“Portia said, ‘You will not do anything not written in the contract. …You can take your pound of flesh, but you may not take one drop of his blood.’”即波西亚警告夏洛克不能流安东尼奥一滴血（d）；最后“Shylock didn’t want to lose everything, so he decided not to take the flesh. Instead, he asked for money”即夏洛克决定要钱而不是肉（b）。所以正确顺序是c-a-d-b。故选C。
4. 推理判断题。根据文章最后“The law of Venice says if you plan to kill a citizen, you’ll lose everything. Half of your wealth goes to the person you tried to kill, and half to the Duke.”可知，威尼斯的法律规定如果夏洛克企图杀害公民，他会失去一切，一半财产给安东尼奥，一半给公爵。所以接下来很可能夏洛克会失去所有财产然后回家。故选C。

The man answered calmly, “Imagine this. You’re willing to pay a high price for a dead horse, let alone a live one. This shows people you truly wish to buy the horses. Just wait and the horses you want 7 (come) very soon.” Indeed, within a year, many qianlima owners brought their horses to the king.
Guo told the king that he could see himself as the bones of the horse. “If I 8 (value), more talents will be willing to serve the state,” he said.
