(1) LONDON — Britain awoke on Easter Monday to a period of mourning for the Queen Mother, who died over the weekend after a life spanning a century of noisy and evident change. The 101-year-old royal matriarch died in her sleep last Saturday with Queen Elizabeth, her elder and only surviving daughter, at her bedside. For a woman who was one of the best-known figures in Britain for more than 80 years — from the era of tinted portraits on tin biscuit boxes and cigarette cards to the age of the Internet, the Queen Mother remained an enigmatic(不可思议的) and elusive(躲避的) figure. She achieved such a respect through aeons(永世, 亿万年) of, first, fawning and, later, intrusive media fascination, by remaining almost entirely silent. Her private thoughts were never paraded(炫耀) in public. What the public saw was a charming and benign elderly lady, adept at winning the admiration of press photographers, whom she always favoured with a particular smile. CHINA’s third unmanned spacecraft, Shenzhou Ⅲ, landed safely in central Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Monday afternoon, after orbiting the earth 108 times in slightly less than a week. The craft, which lifted off from Jiuquan in Gansu Province last Monday night, landed after successfully conducting a chain of flight and scientific experiments over a period of 162 hours. A powerful earthquake jolted Taiwan, killing five construction workers, authorities(官方) said. Over 200 injuries ware reported across the island, mostly minor, as a result of Sunday’s 7.5-magnitude quake. The quake was centred off Hualien, 180 kilometres east of Taipei. It struck at 2:53 pm and lasted for nearly a minute. 1. Which of the following statements is true according to the news? A. The Queen Mother died on Easter Monday alone. B. The Queen Mother was an attractive person in her political life. C. The British people felt sorry for the death of the Queen Mother. D. The Queen Mother was suffering a lot when she was dying. 2. It can be inferred that _______. A. the craft landed in central Inner Mongolia unexpectedly B. it took the craft at least 2 hours to orbit the earth once C. the Chinese scientists did a lot of experiments in space D. China was successful in sending an unmanned spacecraft into space 3. The third news mainly talks about the _______ in Taiwan. A. political matters B. social problems C. unexpected damage D. construction workers 【答案解析】 这是 3 篇新闻报道。第 1 篇是关于英国皇太后死亡的消息;第 2 篇是关于中国发射神舟三号无人飞船的消息;第 3 篇是关于台湾发生 7.5 级强烈地震的消息。 1. C。判断题。皇太后死的时候有其女儿伊利莎白皇后在身边，排除A项;皇太后没有从政，排除B项;皇太后是在睡觉的时候死去的，D项也排除。所以答案选C。 2. D。判断题。从第3段的几个关键词safely…successful 可知A项错误;B项内容在文中没有提及，可排除;而神舟三号为无人飞船，故不会有科学家在太空中做实验，可排除C;既然神舟三号无人飞船已安全着陆，那肯定是已成功发射了。 3. C。主旨题。既然台湾发生了地震，那当然是没有预料到的灾害。A、B、D三项内容离题太远。

英语：整理重点词汇 石狮一中余信路老师认为，考生英语科复习要从六点入手：
一、认真学习《考试说明》，进一步明确《考试说明》中的高考指导思想、命题方式、方法、考试范围、能力要求等，尤其是今年对词汇的要求更加具体化，如词性和汉语意思的标注。
二、坚持听力训练，反复听高考真题，穿插听速度略快于高考题的模拟训练题。听力训练后还要再读一遍相应的语音文字材料，重点关注较难的句子和与做错的题的答案有关的句子，同时还要关注句中的连读以及英、美音的差异，把握英语的语音、语调，最好能与自己的读音进行对比。
三、回归基础，夯实基础。首先要整理重点词汇。考生应把掌握《考试说明》附录词汇表I和表II中约2500个要求掌握的单词作为复习重点，如掌握最常见常用的动词、名词、形容词等的词组、短语、搭配、句型、构词、辨析等，一定要记住常用的例句。要在听、说、读、写的训练中科学学习和记忆词汇，并有效地掌握它们。其次要理清语法重难点，语法复习不必面面俱到，可借助已有的错题本或重新归纳、整理过去做过的试卷、练习册上的难点和错点，结合高考试题，从而把握高考试题的出题方式和出题趋势。特别注意重点训练那些有具体的上下文、语境丰富、灵活性强的题目，切忌死抠语法条款;要培养自己对题干的分析能力，善于弄清题意，明辨语境。
四、提高限时阅读理解能力，每天坚持进行限时阅读，当然选择阅读材料也很关键，要确保不同体裁的文章，如记叙文、说明文、议论文，题材方面要特别关注人物、社会文化、校园生活、科技、广告、文学作品简介等方面的文章;做完题后的分析也是很重要的。
五、做全真高考题，以熟悉高考题的难易程度及其命题思路，把握自己的答题时间，及时做适当地调整。
六、背诵写作模版和范文。借鉴别人的好模版和好文章，对提高写作水平是非常有效的。熟悉不同体裁和不同话题的英语文章，了解英美人的思维表达方式，结合自己真实的语言表达的实际水平，最终学会准确完整地用英语表达自己的思想。
