Are you fresh out of college,looking to start a career?Have you recently started your very first job? Here are some nice tips to guide you through the first few days.
1.Listen more than you talk.Collect the information about how the organization works,and the reasons why,before you offer “helpful” advice.
2.Don't segregate yourself with people in your age group.Get to know older workers,too.The young group may be more fun for happy hours,but those who are a decade or more older than you can possibly help with your career.And you might find out you enjoy the company,too!
3.Take mistakes seriously.There's nothing more disappointing than a worker who made a mistake and doesn't seem to think it's a big deal.When you make a mistake,immediately be responsible for it,figure out how you're going to fix it,and make it clear that you understand its seriousness.Responses(回复)like “my bad” or worse,no response at all,signal that you don't take work seriously.
4.Take notes.Your boss expects you to remember the special instructions you were given.For most people,that means taking notes.And while a good manager is happy to answer questions,she won't be if the questions are ones she already answered when you weren't bothering to pay attention.
5.Be open to learning.College gave you theory;work is going to give something entirely different.So stay modest and realize your first job is going to be largely about learning.
6.Thank people who help you.When your boss or another coworker(同事)takes the time to help you with something,give them a sincere “thank you”.People who feel appreciated are more likely to go out of their way for you again.If you don't seem to care,they probably won't bother again.
1.The passage is written for________.
A.fresh graduates B.company leaders
C.old workers D.new advisers
2.The underlined word “segregate” probably means________.
A.connect B.treat
C.separate D.share
3.If you made a mistake you should________.
A.think it's not a big deal
B.try to fix it at once
C.say something like “my bad”
D.give no responses at all
4.If you want to remember something that has been given,you had better ________.
A.listen more than you talk
B.take mistakes seriously
C.take notes
D.be open to learning
5.From the last two paragraphs we can learn ________.
A.work can also give us some theory
B.we should often help our coworkers
C.we shouldn't bother to appreciate others
D.we should care for others' help

(2013·福建高考)A MENTORING (导师制) program is giving life changing opportunities to Banbury youth.
Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21.
Alex Goldberg,the program's founder,said: “We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook.”
“We try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a difference to our youth.For example,we've secured internships (实习) with world-famous firms such as Honda.”
“At a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring,it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures.” Kieran Hepburn,14,is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far.In October the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational,Scientific and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO) International Youth Forum(论坛).
The event was held for young people from around the world,to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look.Kieran joined several hundred observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event.Kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience.“Before we left I didn't quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didn't stop,it was amazing,” he said,“We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon.”
The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life.It dealt with issues (问题) such as drug abuse,violence and unemployment.
Kieran said:“It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August.”
The Young Inspirations mentoring sessions take place each Friday in Banbury.For details visit www.younginspirations.com.
6.The Young Inspirations mentoring program aims to ________.
A.train staff for world-famous firms
B.offer job opportunities to young adults
C.provide youth with unique experiences
D.equip the unemployed with different skills
7.According to Alex Goldberg,it is difficult for schools to offer the mentoring due to ________.
A.the lack of support from firms
B.the cultural differences
C.the effect of unemployment
D.the shortage of money
8.According to the passage,the forum focused on how youth can ________.
A.build up their confidence at school
B.find work experience opportunities
C.improve their social skills for the future
D.play an active role in the change of society
9.We can learn from the passage that ________.
A.the visit to the United Kingdom was amazing
B.Kieran has made great progress in many aspects
C.the youth have found a way to solve their problems
D.the mentoring sessions are held every day except Friday
10.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Alex Goldberg,Founder of Young Inspirations

C.Kieran,Banbury School Pupil to Paris
D.Debates Help Youth with Their Grades

7.C pick up捡起,学会,接某人;turn up调高,出现,露面;clear up整理,清理,收拾;put up张贴,挂起。根据句意:最后一位客人一离开女主人就开始收拾房子。可知选C。
8.C special特别的;regional地区的;optional可选择的;original最初的。根据句意可知,在那所学校,英语是必修课,紧接着后面用but进行转折,由此可知法语和俄语不是必修课而是可以选修。
9.B 考查非谓语动词。句意:如果它们被吸入,它们就会导致疾病甚至死亡。此处可改写为:If they are breathed in,they can result in illness or even death.。
10.A 考查动词短语的意义区别。A项的意思是处置,处理;B项意思是依赖、依靠;C项的意思是进行下去,继续开展,坚持下去;D项的意思是伴随,与……相配,与……持同一看法。根据语境可知答案选A项。

Ⅲ.【语篇解读】 本文是一篇应用文。文章向刚刚走出大学校门,准备找工作或刚开始工作的毕业生提供了6条实用且有效的建议。
1.A 推理判断题。根据第一段可知,本文是向刚刚走出大学校门,准备找工作或刚开始工作的毕业生提供一些建议。故答案为A。只要准确理解第一段段意,此题就不会误选。
2.C 词义猜测题。根据段落内容,特别是Get to know older workers too“同时和前辈搞好关系”可判断出这句话的意思是“不要跟你的同龄人一起而与其他人搞隔离”。故答案为C。其他选项放在句中意思逻辑不通顺。
3.B 细节理解题。根据第四段可知,一旦犯错,立刻承担起自己的责任,尽快找出解决的方法。只是说“是我的错”或者更糟糕的是,完全没有任何反应,表现出你完全不把你的工作当回事。故答案为B。其他选项都是不应该做的。
4.C 细节理解题。根据第五段可知,如果你要详细记住给你的指示或老板已经说过的话,你一定要记笔记。故答案为C。
5.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,他们得到感谢后,你再次遇到困难时,他们是更乐于伸出援助之手的。如果你不把别人的善意当回事,那很可能下次他们也不再理你。由此可判断出“我们应该尊重别人的帮助”。故答案为D。其他选项与最后两段的内容不相符。
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了一种新型体系——Young Inspirations。这种体系既能提高年轻人的学业水平,又能帮助他们拥有更多的生活经历以便更好地塑造未来。
6.C 推理判断题。通读文章我们可以发现Young Inspirations不仅能帮助年轻人提高学业水平还能为他们塑造美好未来提供各种经验,故C项正确。A项“为世界著名公司培训员工”,更换了适用对象,与原文不符;B项给young adults提供工作,扩大了适用对象,也不正确;D项“为失业者培训不同的技能”,也是片面的。
7.D 细节理解题。由第五段第一句可知由于资金缩减,造成了学校采用这一体系的困难,所以D项正确。A项“缺少公司支持”,与第四段最后一句“我们与世界著名公司,如Honda公司落实了实习关系”这一表述相矛盾;B项和C项文章没有提及。
8.D 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段可知这次讨论会的主题是年轻人如何驾驭政治和公众生活的变化,这将对他们人生的变化起着积极的指导作用,所以D项正确。A、C两项的表述只是Kieran的个人看法而不是讨论会的主题;文章并没有提到讨论会的主题是“找到就业经验机会”,故B项不正确。
9.B 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二、三段不难推断,这次讨论会不仅使Kieran获得了信心,而且社会技能和学业也取得了巨大进步,故B项正确;A项错在这次参观的目的地不是英国而是法国。C项“年轻人通过这次论坛已经找到了解决问题的办法”,过于绝对化;D项“导师制论坛除了星期五每天都举行”,而文章最后一段讲到“只在周五举行”,正好相反。
10.B 主旨大意题。文章主要介绍通过关于导师制这一新体系的参观研讨活动,给年轻人的未来生活提供了许多经验和机会,故B项正确。A项只是介绍创始人;C项只是一个个案,没有升华为主题;D项则强调辩论的意义,偏离主题。

Ⅳ.阅读理解
The words “college” and “university”represent educational institutions,but there is a difference.At the same time the difference between a college and a university also changes according to the area it is preferred to be in.The meaning of college and university is different in the USA from what it means in Canada and UK.
The word “college”is taken from the Latin word “collegium.”The meaning of the word is a group of people staying together for a common purpose,but with their own choice.Hence,you will often come across college students referred to as fellows.However,the word “college” as we use today is used to show an educational institution.There are different undergraduate and graduate courses offered in colleges.The traditional meaning of college was an institution,which was a part of a university.The university was divided into colleges for administration purposes.
Like the word “college”,the word “university” is also taken from the Latin words “universitas magistrorum et scholarium”.The meaning of the word “university” has not undergone a sea of changes and it continues to mean almost the same.In other words,universities are seats of advanced education,which offer opportunities both for learning as well as for research.
The difference between college and university lies in the variety of courses offered.Often colleges are restricted to one kind of field.They offer education either in science,arts,commerce,law,business,etc.However,there are either different departments or colleges under a university.The universities have advanced degrees like Masters and PhD programs.
Normally colleges have a limited number of students and the focus of this institution is on teaching.On the other hand,the focus of universities is teaching as well as research.However,research is where often a lot of focus is laid on.
Though colleges offer courses,the degrees are presented by the university to which the college is accredited(被认可) to.In other words,the university can be looked upon as the parent body and the colleges have to follow the rules laid down by the universities.
1.The text is mainly talks about ________.
A.how the college came into being
B.the difference between a college and a university
C.what functions a university really has
D.the similarity of a college and a university
2.From the text we know “college”________.

C.is where students take courses

A.caused B.suffered
C.experienced D.used
4.In a college,________.
A.you can find different departments

2.C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的There are different undergraduate and graduate courses offered in colleges.可知答案为C项。误解分析:根据第一段可知,在不同国家college含义不同,排除A;由第二段可知现在college是教育机构,故排除B项;根据倒数第二段的the focus of universities is teaching as well as research可排除D项。

Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (30 marks)
A
When Mary Moore began her high school in 1951,her mother told her,“Be sure and take a typing course so when this show business thing doesn't work out,you'll have something to rely on.”Mary responded in typical teenage fashion.From that moment on,“the very last thing I ever thought about doing was taking a typing course,”she recalls.
The show business thing worked out,of course.In her career,Mary won many awards.Only recently,when she began to write Growing UP Again,did she regret ignoring her mom.“I don't know how to use a computer,”she admits.
Unlike her 1995 autobiography,after all,her second book is less about life as an award?winning actress and more about living with diabetes(糖尿病).All the money from the book is intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation(JDRF),an organization she serves as international chairman.“I felt there was a need for a book like this,”she says.“I didn't want to lecture,but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we're self?controlled and do our part in managing the disease.”
But she hasn't always practiced what she teaches.In her book,she describes that awful day,almost 40 years ago,when she received two pieces of life?changing news.First ,she had lost the baby she was carrying,and second,tests showed that she had diabetes.In a childlike act,she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts(甜甜圈).Years would pass before she realized she had to grow up again and take control of her diabetes,not let it control her.Only then did she kick her three?pack?a?day cigarette habit,overcome her addiction to alcohol,and begin to follow a balanced diet.
Although her disease has affected her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance floor,she refuses to fall into self?pity.“Everybody on earth can ask,‘why me?’about something or other,”she insists.“It doesn't do any good.No one is immune(免疫的)to heartache,pain,and disappointments.Sometimes we can make things better by helping others.I've come to realize the importance of that as I've grown up this second time.I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be.”
36.Why did Mary feel regretful?
A.She didn't achieve her ambition.
B.She didn't take care of her mother.
C.She didn't complete her high school.
D.She didn't follow her mother's advice.
37.We can know that before 1995 Mary________.

D.supported the JDRF by writing
38.Mary's second book Growing Up Again is mainly about her ________.
A.living with diabetes
B.successful show business
C.service for an organization
D.remembrance of her mother
39.When Mary received the life?changing news,she ________.
A.lost control of herself
B.began a balanced diet
C.tried to get a treatment
D.behaved in an adult way
40.What can we know from the last paragraph?
A.Mary feels pity for herself.
B.Mary has recovered from her disease.
C.Mary wants to help others as much as possible.
D.Mary determines to go back to the dance floor.
B
I was a policeman.It was 6∶00 pm and I was starting working a twelve?hour shift.I said good?bye to a group of officers heading out of the station to go home.“Yeah,have a good time,”shouted an officer,sounding tired.
Just then,an officer I was working with said to me,“There is a fire at a grocery store.Our task is to assist other units already there.Come on;let's go.”He walked towards our car.Our team left the station and arrived ten minutes later at the grocery store.We took up a position in the parking lot to try to keep people away from the store.
The building was starting to disappear in flames and smoke.I_didn't_know_what_to_do.I_just_stood_there_staring_as_if_I_were_watching_a_horror_movie.All of a sudden,a loud explosion shook the ground and everyone fell down.Something in the alleyway(小巷) at the back of the store blew up and a large mushroom fire cloud rose into the sky.As the cloud grew larger,it began swallowing everything in sight,including the parking lot.As I got up and ran for cover as everyone else did,smoke and dirt rained down on us.
After clearing,we went close to the store to help in our car.“There is a man yelling for help,”the driver officer said,so we pulled over to assist him.“There are people still inside,”the man shouted.We quickly helped dozens of people to safety.During our rescue,another partner found a garden hose(水龙带),so we started to try to put out the fire below the building.
After half an hour,the fire was put out at last.“Everyone is out of the building.Let's go on to our other tasks!”shouted an officer.

C
She was born to wealth and power in an era when money and politics were left to the men.Later,as The Washington Post's publisher,Katharine Graham became one of America's most powerful women.
Despite a privileged background,Katharine had to deal,while growing up,with the high demands her mother placed on her children.Katharine's love of journalism,which she shared with her father,led to her career (事业) after college at The Washington Post,the newspaper her father bought in 1933.At the Post,Katharine met Phil Graham,a young,charming lawyer who became her husband.When,in 1945,Katharine's father chose Phil over her to take over his struggling paper,Katharine didn't object and stayed at home as a wife and mother of four.
While Phil's successful efforts to restore the Post to prominence made the Grahams popular members of the Washington social scene,Katharine privately suffered tremendous pain from her husband's increasingly abusive behavior and wild mood swings caused by severe depression.When Phil committed suicide(自杀),the 46?year?old Katharine found herself thrown into a new job,that of newspaper publisher.But determined to save the family paper for her children,Katharine rose to the challenge of running the Post,attending meetings in every department,working endlessly to prove herself to her critics,and becoming the toast of Washington.
In 1971,Katharine ordered the Post to print a copy of the Pentagon Papers,the top?secret documents revealing the truth about the United States' involvement in the Vietnam War.What's more,her courageous decision and support for her journalists prepared the Post to break the most important political story in modern history:Watergate(水门事件),one of the greatest scandals (丑闻) in American political history.Katharine managed to keep control over the most chaotic of situations when it was reported,all the time insisting the news stories be accurate and fair.Watergate made the Washington Post an internationally known Paper and Katharine was considered as the most powerful woman in America.
46.Katharine Graham was born in a time when ________.
A.women were not given the chance to receive education
B.women were not considered as intelligent as men

A.was strongly against the idea
B.was not happy to be rejected
C.was willing to take her share of responsibility
D.didn't believe her husband would do a good job

Part Ⅲ Writing (45 marks)
Section A (10 marks)
Traditionally,customers may consider more about what they buy the product for.However,the image of product and the consuming circumstances have become the key points to attract customer awareness and stimulate their buying needs.Frequently,customers buy goods just because they are cute,lovely and unique.With a less emphasis on fun_ction,the experience and imaginative space are placed into an increasingly important role.The image of product is emphasized,as well as the communication between products and consumers.“Customer behavior,which appears to be focused on,in fact responds to quite different objectives:the expression of desire,and the production of a code of social values through the use of different signs”,said Bandrillard.The reason for image?oriented customer behavior is probably that customers' lifestyle has been continuously virtualized by paying much attention to “virtual reality”.The evidences can be traced from computer games and Hollywood movies,in which customers' preference for fleeing reality is perfectly matched.
This change requires us to take efforts to enhance product image by integrating style,color,taste,shape and material,and communicate with customers creatively,imaginatively and innovatively,and enable them to enjoy the distinctive experience image brings.“It is not a need for a particular object as much as a ‘need’ for difference”,said Baudrillard.The typical example is Apple Computer's IMAC,which has strong visual impacts and outstanding dynamics.By this way,customer relationship can be set up through image,and brand can be treated as a sign that can transform people.Other examples commonly used are Disney Fairyland and Las Vegas,where new experience and imagination are fully demonstrated.In sum,consumption is negotiation,a never?ending conversation held in the languages of advertising,packaging,branding,fashion,and entertainment.
More Attention to the Image of Product

(2012·望城一中高三第四次调研)Now satellites are helping to forecast the weather.They are in space,and they can reach any part of the world.The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere,because this is where the weather forms.They send these pictures to the weather stations.So meteorologists can see the weather of any part of the world.From the pictures,the scientists can often say how the weather will change.
Today,nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures.When they receive new pictures,the meteorologists compare them with earlier ones.Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours.This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change,too.In their next weather forecast,the meteorologists can say this.
So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists.Before satellites were invented,the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours.Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days.Soon,perhaps,they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead.
61.Where does the weather form?(no more than 3 words)
________________________________________________________________
62.Why are the pictures a help to meteorologists?(no more than 10 words)

63.To nearly how many weather stations worldwide are satellite cloud pictures available according to the article?(no more than 3 words)

64.Could meteorologists even forecast the weather before the invention of the weather satellite?(no more than 3 words)

综合检测(一)
1.B talk about“谈论,谈起”;go about“着手(做某事),从事”;care about“关心”;come about“产生,发生”。根据句意“由于他们的试验失败了,我们必须更加谨慎地进行试验。”可知选B。
2.D 分析句子结构可知,is是系动词,其后为表语从句,从句中do为及物动词,所以从句缺宾语,故选what。
3.C carried out为过去分词短语在句中作see的宾语补足语。see sth. done结构意为“看见某事被做”。
4.B set up建立,创办;set down写下,记下;set about着手做;set off出发,动身。根据前一句“她是个勤奋的学生”可以推断后一句应是“她总是将老师讲的重点记下来”,所以选B。
5.A 句意:虽然一位成功的商人或发明家通常会变得富有,但许多在自己的领域中杰出的人对个人财产并不太关心。while在此引导让步状语从句,意为“虽然”。
6.A 由with her eyes ________ on the opposite wall可看出,填空处做with的复合宾语,排除C、D。fix和eyes是动宾关系,所以要用fixed,过去分词表示被动。
7.A 句意:在这么短的时间他几乎不能完成这么多工作。get through“完成”;get off“下车”;get into“进入”;get down“下来”。
8.D 考查倒装。表方位的介词短语under a big tree位于句首,句子应用完全倒装,不用助动词,因而选择D项。
9.A 考查形容词词义辨析。根据语境“只买我们能买得起和需要的”可知,买东西时要实际一些。
10.B 考查暗喻及介词的用法。此处把生活比作是一条曲线,“充满”应该用full of来表示,故选B项。
11.C 句意:一般来说,北方人爱吃饺子,南方人爱吃米饭。in common“共同地”;in total“整个地”;in general“一般地”;in particular“特别地”。
12.C 考查短语辨析。句意:今天早晨的雾太大了以至于司机们几乎不能看清前面十米远的物体。figure out想出,算出,理解;take out拿出,带……出去;make out看出,辨认出;rule out消除。
13.B 考查动词辨析。support支持,符合句意。consider考虑;agree同意;confirm证实,均不符合句意。
14.A 考查副词短语。more than+adj.表示“非常,很”的意思,此处是很高兴;other than意思是“不同于,除了”;rather than意思是“胜过,而不是”;less than少于,决不。
15.A 从语境得知,对方在道歉,只能用 That's all right/It doesn't matter/Never mind(没关系)等回答;It's a pleasure/You are welcome/Don't mention it 都是回答 Thank you 的用语。
16.C 服务员向年轻人解释玫瑰花非常“昂贵”,不是六美元可以买得到的。此处讲的是价格问题,而不是玫瑰花的象征意义,因此D项不恰当。
17.B 年轻人乞求的声音“触动”了约翰的内心,此处touch表示“触动”。recall表示“回想,回忆”,主语一般是人。
18. B 约翰努了努嘴,向服务员示意他将替年轻人支付(购买玫瑰花)不足的钱,由于他只是用嘴示意,因而是“无声地”。
19.B 年轻人的目的是购买鲜花,自然是拿着“鲜花”跑出了商店。
20.A 约翰订购了自己的鲜花,并委托服务员在“送”花时要附上一张便条,表达他对母亲无比的爱意。transfer表示“转移,移交”,语意不恰当。
21.C 约翰已经委托服务员把鲜花送给他的母亲,并叮嘱对方要附上一张便条,由此可见他自认为已经办妥了一切,自我感觉“良好”。文章中没有提到他之前感到紧张,所以A项不恰当。
22.B 他遇到了红灯,自然要在红绿灯处“等候”。
23.B 上文提到他遇到红灯后停了下来,由此可推断此时红灯“变”成了绿灯,他缓缓驶过交叉点。
24.B 他一时冲动,想跟踪男孩,所以把车停到路边。此处pull over表示“把车停靠在路边”。break down表示“出故障,崩溃”;burst out表示“突然开始做某事”,后面需要跟宾语。
25.A 男孩小心翼翼地把玫瑰花“摆放”在坟墓上,失声痛哭起来。B项表示“装饰”,通常用于喜庆场合。
26.C 约翰没有想到男孩倾其所有购买玫瑰花是为了祭奠他的母亲,感动得“泪流满面”。
27.C 约翰告诉服务员他想亲自把花“带”给他的母亲。A项表示“带来”,显然不正确;B项表示“去拿来”,不符合语境。
28.Instead 29.fewer 30.It 31.However 32.Second 33.If
34.an/the/your 35.and
36.D 推理判断题。第一段中提到Mary Moore的妈妈建议她学打字,而第二段中她承认自己还不会使用电脑,由此可知她后悔自己没有听妈妈的建议。故答案为D项。
37.B 推理判断题。根据第三段得知,Mary在1995年的自传中主要介绍自己成功的演艺事业,而近期所写的第二本著作主要介绍她身患糖尿病的生活,她打算把这本书的收入都捐给JDRF,由此可知1995年前她只写了一本书而不是两本,故排除A项;依靠写作来支持JDRF是在1995年之后,故可排除D项;根据第二段的最后一句话可排除C项。故答案为B项。
38.A 事实细节题。根据第三段首句可知,第二本书与1995年的那本自传不同,这本书主要是关于Mary身患糖尿病的生活经历,故答案为A项。B项“她成功的演艺事业”应该是第一本自传的内容,故可排除。C、D两项均不是书的内容,可排除。
39.A 推理判断题。根据第二段可得知,Mary 想通过自己的书告诫那些患糖尿病的人,自我控制才会使情况变得更好,但第三段提到她自己并未那样去做,并且讲到了她在得到令生活改变的噩耗时的反应,由此可知那时她失去了控制,故答案为A项。
40.C 推理判断题。根据本段最后一句话可得知,Mary 想尽其所能来帮助他人,故答案为C项。根据本段第一句话可排除A项和B项,D项“Mary决定返回舞池”文中并未提到,因此可排除。
41.D 主旨大意题。通读全文,可知作者主要记录了他作为警察,在一次执行任务中的经历,故选D项。
42.C 细节理解题。根据第一段的It was 6∶00 pm and I was starting working a twelve?hour shift.可知作者接到那个任务的时候,他才刚开始那晚的晚班。
43.D 推理判断题。根据画线部分的内容,可知作者面对大火不知该做些什么,只能盯着大火,故可推断他没有应付这种大火的经验。
44.D 细节理解题。根据第三段的Something in the alleyway at the back of the store blew up可知应选D项。
45.C 细节理解题。根据第四段的so we started to try to put out the fire below the building.可知作者他们只是拿着水龙带在楼底下救火,并没有冲进大楼里去,故选C项。
46.D 细节理解题。根据文章第一段可以看出当时的美国社会是男性占主导地位的时代,女性在很多领域都不能涉足。
47.C 细节理解题。根据文章第二段最后一句“...Katharine didn't object and stayed at home as a wife and mother of four.”可知。
48.A 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段最后一句“Watergate made the Washington Post an internationally known paper...most powerful woman in America”。
49.B 细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后一句可知,从文章可以知道她的丈夫取得一定的成绩并且因为绝望而自杀可以判断A、C两项错误。
50.C 确定文章标题。从文章的第一段就可以看出Katharine是如何从家庭主妇到成为华盛顿邮报的成功出版商的。

【参考范文】 
A_domestic_service_company_in_Beijing_provided_“Gaokao_nannies”_for_students_who_will_take_part_in_the_college_entrance_examination.The_nannies_can_not_only_tutor_the_students_in_their_weak_subjects_but_also_wash_clothes_and_cook_meals_for_them.As for the matter,opinions are divided.
60% of the people are in favor of it.They think the college entrance examination is very important to the students,so it's necessary to employ people with specialized knowledge to take care of them.Meanwhile,many parents are too busy to spare the time to look after their children.However,the rest of the people are opposed to it.In their view,employing “Gaokao nannies” is likely to make the students nervous,which may have bad effects on them.Besides,the students should go through this key period of time accompanied by their parents.
From my point of view,I totally disagree with the former.If I were one of those who have “Gaokao nannies”,I would not be used to being taken care of by an unfamiliar person who cannot possibly understand me as well as my parents.Furthermore,hiring a “Gaokao nanny” costs a lot,which may burden the parents.

One day I was driving a group of friends to a family seminar(研讨会) in Holmes County,Ohio.The village of Berlin was about an hour from our home.The seminar is usually half a day except on Saturday.In my hurry,I left the house without cash and without food.I comforted myself with the thought that I could go without and it would allow me to concentrate more on the rich teaching that I would receive.It was a beautiful day and the drive was pleasant through countryside.I enjoyed conversation with my friends about the things of the Lord as we drove.When we arrived I found my place and settled in to enjoy the seminar.The morning passed swiftly and I noticed no hunger.When the noon hour came I went to the van(面包车) to spend some time alone with the Lord.On the church grounds and in the shade of the tree people began to open large picnic baskets.I knew it would be impossible to think about this feast going on in front of me.
I started the van and drove into the village of Berlin.I found the Christian bookstore and spent some time browsing among the books.One of my favorite places on earth is a good bookstore.Standing there I sensed someone behind me.I turned and was shocked to see Lois standing there.She smiled “I couldn't stand the thought of you going hungry so I brought you some money.”My heart welled_up with love for her in that moment.We ate lunch and kissed goodbye.I went back to the seminar and she made the hour-long trip back home.
The two things stand out in my mind.First,Lois would know that I was hungry so I would not have to go without food.Second,when she went to the church and saw I was gone she knew exactly where she would find me.

Ⅳ.阅读填空
As the US wakes up to China's rising status (地位)as an economic and strategic competitor,US parents are urging their children to learn Chinese,reports Julian Borger.
The US is being swept by a rush to learn Mandarin (普通)—from wealthy New York mothers hiring Chinese nannies (保姆) for their small children to a defence department education project in Oregon.
The forces driving Mandarin's momentum (势头)are parental ambition for children facing a future in which China is almost certain to be a major player,and the government is worried about that America may get left behind in that new world.
The bottleneck is the supply of teachers.Mandarin instructors are difficult to import and difficult to train.There are visa problems in bringing over teachers from China but the biggest barrier is cultural.Teaching in Asia is generally done by rote and the change to western,interactive styles of instruction can be a large leap (跳越).
On the other hand,it requires enormous firmness for westerners to learn a language like Chinese,with its thousands of written characters.According to the Asia Society in New York,all of America's teacher?training institutions turn out only a couple of dozen homegrown Mandarin teachers.
One way to ease the shortage is to find native Mandarin speakers and use fast?track methods to train them.However,the majority of Chinese?Americans grew up speaking Cantonese,the dialect (方言)spoken in Hong Kong,where their parents came from.Many are themselves signing on as Mandarin students at the private language schools springing up on the west coast.

6.D 固定词组have difficulty(in)doing sth.做某事有困难。

Ⅲ.【语篇解读】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。作者参加星期六研讨会,匆忙之中没有吃早餐,也没有带钱,正感到饥肠辘辘时,遇到了Lois,原来Lois是为自己而来。
1.A 主旨大意题。根据第二段的I couldn't stand the thought of you going hungry so I brought you some money可知,Lois对作者的爱;第三段讲述了Lois了解作者,故答案选A。误解分析:作者没有着重讲研讨会的内容,也没有说午餐的丰盛,故排除A、B两项;文中尽管体现了作者看到老朋友时的惊讶,但并没有提到感兴趣,故排除D项。
2.C 推理判断题。根据文章的内容可知,作者在那里用午餐,故推测出研讨会下午还要进行,文中给出的The seminar is usually half a day except on Saturday表明只在星期六研讨会才进行一天,故选C。
3.D 推理判断题。根据第一段的When the noon hour came I went to the van to spend some time alone with the Lord.可知,中午会议结束时,作者并没有想到书店,而是坐到面包车里打发时光,因为看到他人在用餐,作者才驱车到了村中的书店,故由此推断作者到书店是为了消磨午餐时间。
4.B 词义猜测题。根据前后语境可知,作者听到Lois的话很感动,因此在该句中heart表示“情感,心情”,故well up表示“情感的迸发”,在这表示“此时此刻对Lois的爱更加强烈”。
5.D 细节理解题。文章最后一段表明了当Lois在会场找不到作者时,便知道他在书店,说明作者是一个常常把业余时间花在读书上的人。

A
(2013·山东高考)Jimmy is an automotive mechanic,but he lost his job a few months ago.He has a good heart,but always feared applying for a new job.
One day,he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview.His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8:30.While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed,he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car.Obviously there was something wrong with the car.Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand.When Jimmy finished working on the car,the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service.Jimmy said there was no need to pay him;he just helped someone in need,and he had to rush for an interview.Then the old man said,“Well,I could take you to the office for your interview.It's the least I could do.Please,I insist.”Jimmy agreed.
Upon arrival,Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed.Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair,but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt.One by one,the applicants left the interviewer's office with disappointed looks on their faces.Finally his name was called.The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window.Rocking the chair back and forth,he asked,“Do you really need to be interviewed?” Jimmy's heart sank.“With the way I look now,how could I possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself.
Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy's surprise,it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning.It turned out he was the General Manager of the company.
“Sorry I had to keep you waiting,but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into this office.I just know you'd be a trustworthy worker.Congratulations!”Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well-deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job.
1. Why did Jimmy apply for a new job?
A.He was out of work.
B.He was bored with his job.
C.He wanted a higher position.
D.He hoped to find a better boss.
2.What did Jimmy see on the way to the interview?
A.A friend's car had a flat tyre.
B.A wild man was pushing a car.
C.A terrible car accident happened.
D.An old man's car broke down.
3.Why did the old man offer Jimmy a ride?
A.He was also to be interviewed.
B.He needed a travelling companion.
C.He always helped people in need.
D.He was thankful to Jimmy.
4.How did Jimmy feel on hearing the interviewer's question?
A.He was sorry for the other applicants.
B.There was no hope for him to get the job.
C.He regretted helping the old man.
D.The interviewer was very rude.
5.What can we learn from Jimmy's experience?
A.Where there's a will,there's a way.
B.A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C.Good is rewarded with good.
D.Two heads are better than one.
B
There are a lot of things you can do to help others,whether it's with your mom's chores,or if a friend is upset.Here are some little things you can do to reach out to other people and they will bring benefits such as happiness.
Try to offer first.When people need your help,they'll most likely ask you first,but if you have the chance,try to offer to help before they ask you.This will show that you are willing to help from the start.For example,if you see a friend struggling to carry groceries,offer to help.Or if you see them getting bullied,help them stand up.Or if you see them getting pushed down or beaten,ask “Are you all right?” and help them up.Then try to cheer them up.Believe me,helping people will always make you feel better because it's the right thing to do.
Put_yourself_in_someone_else's_shoes.Being compassionate(有同情心的) can give you a strong reason to help someone else.It can also show people that you really do care about someone.
Volunteer or donate.Being in charitable organizations is a great way to help the less fortunate,like donating food or money to the poor.
Listen.You obviously can't know what you need to do if you're not even paying attention.Plus,people aren't going to rely on you very much if you act like you don't even care what they're saying.Think about what might happen if you don't.More people will feel more miserable if you just leave them when they need you,and you don't want to see people unhappy,do you? Don't stress yourself too much,but it's always nice to lend a hand.
6.In the passage the author talks about________.
A.the benefits of helping others
B.what you can do to help others
C.how to offer to help first
D.how to listen to others
7.What should you do first if your friend feels discouraged after a competition?
A.Encourage him not to lose heart.
B.Help him find out the problem.
C.Show compassion for him.
D.Listen to him patiently.
8.The sentence “Put yourself in someone else's shoes” means________.
A.putting on someone else's shoes
B.putting yourself in someone else's situation
C.showing enough care for others
D.listening to others carefully
9.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.The purpose of charitable organizations is to donate food or money to the poor.
B.Helping others is the right thing to do because it makes you feel better.
C.Helping those who ask you for help first can show that you are very willing.
D.Paying more attention to others will get you more trust.
10.In the next part,the author would most probably talk about________.
A.how to listen to others
B.the result of stressing yourself too much
C.the reason for being nice to lend a hand
D.the benefits of helping others

Ⅰ.1.sessions 2.wagging 3.roundabout 4.conservative

9.coverings 10.interviewer
Ⅱ.1.C 句意:晚上为了取暖,我会填满柴炉,然后为闹钟定时以便半夜里能起来再添一次。根据语境可知此处用动词不定式作目的状语,故答案为C。为了突出目的,通常把目的状语置于句首。
2.D 句意:昨天老板打电话告诉我他给我提供了一份好工作。空格后接的是双宾语,所以选D。
3.C 动名词短语做主语,这里的take和其逻辑主语a person like me有被动关系,故用being taken的形式。
4.A prepare接宾语时表示“准备的具体内容”,此处指“做好思想准备”,故选A。句意:他们发现自己很难对可能面对的艰苦条件做好思想准备。
5.C 句意:这个想法听起来很有趣所以我决定要做进一步的了解。follow up采取后续行动,在……之后再采取进一步行动;pick up捡起,接某人,收听;take up占据(时间、空间);make up编造,化妆,弥补。
6.B have the edge on/over稍微胜过……。句意:马西娅在英国待过一年,所以比班级里其他学生稍好一些。
7.C 句意:我会得到去晚会的邀请吗?考查介词to的特殊用法。在一些名词(key,answer,entrance,invitation...)之后表示“……的”所属关系时,用介词to。
8.C 考查非谓语动词和状语从句的省略。状语从句连词once之后的非谓语动词与主句主语anyone之间为被动关系,故选过去分词。
9.B 用not only...but also...连接主语时,谓语动词的单复数根据就近原则,因而选择B项。
10.D however或no matter how后接形容词或副词,这种让步状语从句不需要倒装。
11.C There is no need(for sb)to do sth.(某人)没有必要做某事,(某人)不必做某事。句意:我没必要打破窗户因为我有钥匙。
12.B even though尽管,即使;unless除非;as long as只要。句意:尽管蒂姆不经常锻炼,但他身体很好。前后两个分句是让步转折关系,故选B。
13.D be admitted to 表示“被允许进入,被录取”,其中to是介词;allow和permit常接动词不定式作宾语补足语;agree to do表示“同意做”;agree to sth.表示“同意(计划、建议)等”。
14.B “认为我们以前没有见过面”,正常情况下下文应该是看上去不面熟,但本题中下文说看上去面熟,由此可以看出应该选择B项,although引导让步状语从句。句意:我相信我们以前没有见过面,不过我必须说你看上去的确很面熟。
15.A for the benefit of为了……的利益,其他项均为错误词组。
Ⅲ.【语篇解读】 本文为一篇记叙文。讲述了吉米失业后去一家公司应聘的故事。在等公共汽车的时候,他看到一位老人的车坏了,就停下来帮助老人修车。车修好后,老人要给他钱,吉米拒绝了,并说了自己的情况。老人用车把吉米载到了他要去的公司。这位老人就是那家公司的总经理。最后,吉米得到了这份工作。本文旨在告诉读者“好人有好报”。
1.A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的he lost his job可知他失业了,因此要去申请一份新工作。选项B “他厌倦了他的工作”,选项C “他想得到一个更高的职位”以及选项D “他想找到一个更好的老板”在文中均未提及。
2.D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的...he saw an elderly man...there was something wrong with the car.可推知吉米看到一位老人的车坏了。选项A“一个朋友的车胎瘪了”中的朋友与文章内容不相符;选项B“一个疯狂的男人在推车”与文中的“一个上了年纪的人在使劲地踢他汽车的轮胎”不相符;选项C“发生了一场可怕的事故”在文中未提及。
3.D 推理判断题。第二段中的后半部分提到吉米帮老人修好车后,又说了自己的情况,即他急着去参加面试,老人很感激他,就坚持要载他去。选项A“他也要去面试”在文中未提及;选项B“他需要一个旅游同伴”在文中也未提及;选项C“他总是帮助需要帮助的人”在文中也未提及。
4.B 推理判断题。由第三段中的倒数第二句Jimmy's heart sank可推知他感觉自己已经没有希望得到这份工作了。选项A“他为其他的申请者感到遗憾”,选项C“他后悔帮助了那位老人”,选项D“这位面试官很粗鲁”在文中均未提及。
5.C 推理判断题。根据文中的叙述可知,吉米在去面试时帮助了一位车坏了的老人,而这位老人就是他去面试的那家公司的总经理,于是吉米得到了那份工作。由此我们可以推断出本文旨在告诉读者“好人有好报”。选项A“有志者,事竟成”,选项B“患难朋友才是真朋友”,选项D“两人智慧胜一人”,都与文章主旨不符。
【语篇解读】 本文主要讲述的是关于如何帮助他人的一些建议。
6.B 主旨大意题。由第一段最后一句可知,文章谈论的是帮助他人做所能做的一些事情和其能带来的益处。故选B。
7.B 细节理解题。由第二段作者举的最后一个例子可知,如果朋友被打倒或击败,首先帮助他们站起来然后鼓励他们。由这个比喻可知第一步要做的是帮助他们找出问题的所在。故选B。
8.B 猜测词义题。由后面的compassionate可知选B。
9.D 细节理解题。由最后一段“若你表现得……”可知D正确。由第四段可知捐钱等仅是慈善组织帮助他人的方法之一,故A错。由第二段最后一句可知B项弄错了因果关系。由第二段第二句可知主动先提出帮助他人才能表示你是自愿的,故C错。
10.D 推理判断题。从文章第一段最后一句知作者将讨论如何帮助别人和帮助别人带来的益处,前面的内容一直在讲如何帮助别人,故下一步该讲帮助别人带来的益处了。

Ⅳ.阅读理解
American sign language has an interesting history.Although there have always been deaf individuals in America,the history really begins in 1817.Before 1817 deaf people communicated by using “home signs”.Gestures were individually created and used within the home for simple communication.There were no schools or formal sign language training for the deaf.
So,why was 1817 an important year? Well,the story begins with Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet.Gallaudet met his neighbor's daughter Alice Cogswell.Alice was the young deaf daughter of Dr.Mason Cogswell from Hartford,Connecticut.Gallaudet began teaching Alice to read and write a few simple words.Excited by the success Dr.Cogswell encouraged Gallaudet to establish a school for the deaf.Cogswell raised the money and Gallaudet traveled to Britain to learn the methods used there.However,the schools refused to share their instructional techniques and methods.
While in London there happened to be a demonstration of the French method of deaf education.Britain was using an oral method of instruction;however,the French method used signs.Gallaudet was fascinated with the method and was able to meet with the instructor,Sicard,and his two deaf pupils,Jean Massieu and Laurent Clerc.Sicard agreed to teach Gallaudet his method and Gallaudet went to Paris to learn French signs.After a while,Gallaudet wished to return home and convinced Clerc to go with him and help him establish the school.The trip home was a 52-day voyage during which Clerc taught Gallaudet French signs and Gallaudet taught Clerc English.
On April 15,1817,Laurent Clerc and Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet established what is currently known as the American School for the Deaf in Hartford,Connecticut.The opening of the first school for the deaf can be viewed as one of the most important events in current deaf culture.

As a child I was always counseled by parents and teachers to study hard,work diligently and get good grades.Of course  28  goes without saying that the “good jobs” were well?payed jobs and all of us had to aim for those.No one ever asked us what actually wanted to do.It was all about working hard,studying,then getting a job and making money.
All I wanted to do was reading novels and writing them, 29  creative writing is not something that is encouraged.It does not ensure a five?figure salary.I was brainwashed all  30 school to become a doctor and even pushed into taking science in high school.I know many people  31 sing well,are wonderful painters of the most awesome cooks  32 were not allowed to pursue their talents as a vocation.Their true purposes,their  33  vocation are forgotten.
A true vocation is something that is sheer joy.It sets the soul on fire.It is a pleasure to watch a person who is motivated by his  34  self.I once had the pleasure of watching a few young people singing and playing  35 guitar on a hillside.The pure joy on their faces and in the music they made was wonderful.

Everyone has dreams,but few believe they can actually achieve them.However,some people achieve their dreams while others live lives of regret.Some are inspired and follow through,while others delay or give up entirely on their dreams in exchange for whatever excuses they comfort themselves with.
Here are three simple steps you can take to help you realize your dreams:
1.Motivations.Everyone has their own motivations for their dreams.Consider what motivates you to achieve your goals.It could be financial freedom,more free time,or a second home in the Caribbean.Whatever it is,remind yourself of it on a daily basis.
For example,having pictures of your dream Caribbean home hung on the fridge or in your work space will remind you of your dream and refresh your mind with motivation.
2.Planning.Although developing a systematic plan is necessary if you want to achieve your goals,many people overlook (忽视) this process and then wonder why they aren't moving forward toward their goals.Be sure to take the time to plan your path for greater success!
Once you have a broad plan,you must allow for all the details.Put it down on paper,even if it's an emotional or psychological life goal,and determine the necessary steps to make that goal a reality.Then put a time frame on it.Put_all_excuses_aside_with_a_finite_deadline_for_each_step.
Be realistic of your own competencies (能力).Creating a practical plan with a deadline will bring your dreams to life.Setting definable little goals to achieve on the way to your desired large goal will enable you to follow your plan through to success.
3.Action:No dream or goal can be achieved without action.If you've developed your plan as recommended,you will see that there are a number of little steps you must take on a daily basis that will further you on your path to your ultimate (最终的)goal.
36.Why do some people feel regret in their life?
A.They don't believe in themselves.
B.They fail to achieve their dreams.
C.They lack courage and determination.
D.They lack great ambitions to succeed.
37.The purpose of writing the article is ________.
A.to offer tips on how to make plans

C.remind yourself of the possible obstacles
D.decorate your home with colorful pictures
39.A lot of people don't make much progress because ________.
A.they don't have a definite goal
B.they don't make a plan in advance
C.they don't want to make efforts
D.they don't care about the process

An increase in students applying to study economics at university is being attributed to (归因于)the global economic crisis awakening a public thirst for knowledge about how the financial system works.
Applications for degree courses beginning this autumn were up by 15% this January,according to UCAS,the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service.A spokesman for the Royal Economic Society said applications to do economics at Alevel were also up.
Professor John Beath,the president of the society and a leading lecturer at St Andrews University,said his first?year lectures—which are open to students from all departments—were drawing crowds of 400,rather than the usual 250.
“There are a large number of students who are not economics majors,who would like to learn something about it.One of the things I have done this year is to relate my teaching to contemporary events in a way that one hasn't traditionally done,” he added.
University applications rose 7% last year,but there were rises above average in several subjects.Nursing saw a 15% jump,with people's renewed interest in careers in the pubic sector (部门),which are seen as more secure in economic crisis.
A recent study showed almost two thirds of parents believed schools should do more to teach pupils about financial matters,and almost half said their children had asked them what was going on,although a minority of parents felt they did not understand it themselves well enough to explain.
Zack Hocking,the head of Child Trust Funds,said:“It's possible that one good thing to arise from the downturn will be a generation that's financially wiser and better equipped to manage their money through times of economic uncertainty.”
41.Professor John Beath's lectures are ________.
A.given in a traditional way
B.connected with the present situation
C.open to both students and their parents
D.warmly received by economists
42.Careers in the public sector are more attractive because of their ________.
A.greater stability B.higher pay
C.fewer applications D.better reputation
43.In the opinion of most parents,________.
A.economics should be the focus of school teaching
B.more students should be admitted to universities
C.the teaching of financial matters should be strengthened
D.children should solve financial problems themselves
44.According to Hocking,the global economic crisis might make the youngsters ________.
A.wiser in money management
B.have access to better equipment
C.confident about their future careers
D.get jobs in Child Trust Funds
45.What's the main idea of the text?
A.Universities have received more applications.
B.Economics is attracting an increasing number of students.
C.College students benefit a lot from economic uncertainty.
D.Parents are concerned with children's subject selection.

It is December thirty?first,the time when the old year dies and the New Year is born.
Many Americans have parties at home and invite all their friends.Many of these events are noisy.People shout and sing.They often blow on small noisemakers when the New Year arrives at midnight.They kiss their husband or wife or the person they are with.They dance to music.Other Americans spend a quiet evening at home.They drink Champagne at midnight to welcome the New Year.
Some people drink too much alcohol at New Year's Eve celebrations.This can lead to tragic results if a person drinks too much and then drives a car.The National Safety Council says hundreds of people die in road accidents during the holiday.
In recent years,the danger of accidents has resulted in a new tradition called the “designated driver”.One person among a group of friends drinks little or no alcohol during New Year's Eve celebrations.Then this designated driver can safely drive the other people home.Many American cities also offer free taxi service on New Year's Eve to take people home safely.
Other Americans observe the coming of the New Year at events without alcohol.More than 220 American cities hold these First Night celebrations.Artists in Boston,Masssachusetts started the tradition of First Night celebrations.In 1976,they wanted to observe the coming of a New Year.But they did not want to hold noisy drinking parties.So they organized music concerts,art exhibitions and other events to observe the holiday.

One?room schools are part of the United States,and the mention of them makes people feel a vague longing for “the way things were”.
One?room schools are an endangered species.However,for more than a hundred years one?room schools have been systematically shut down and their students sent away to centralized schools.As recently as 1930 there were 149,000 one?room schools in the United States.By 1970 there were 1,800.Today,of the nearly 800 remaining one?room schools,more than 350 are in Nebraska.The rest are scattered through a few other states that have on their road maps wide?spaces between towns.
Now that there are hardly any left,educators are beginning to think that maybe there is something yet to be learned from one?room schools,something served the pioneers that might serve as well today.
Progressive educators have come up with progressive?sounding names like “peer?group teaching” and “multi?age grouping” for educational procedures that occur naturally in the one?room schools.In one?room schools the children teach each other because the teacher is busy part of the time teaching someone else.A fourth grader can work at a fifth?grade level in math and a third?grade level in English without the shame associated with being left back or the pressures of being skipped ahead.A youngster with a learning disability can find his or her own level without being separated from the other pupils.In larger urban schools today,this is called “mainstreaming”.A few hours in a small school that has only one classroom and it becomes clear why so many parents feel it one of the advantages of living in Nebraska that their children have to go to a one?room school.
61.According to the text,what's many educators' opinion to one?room schools?(No more than 8 words)

综合检测(二)
1.B not only位于句首,句子用部分倒装,故选B。
2.C even though“尽管”;ever since“从那以后”;now that“既然”;even as“甚至当……时候”。
3.C 考查动词短语辨析。句意:我们刚搬进一套大一点的房子,有很多要做的事情。让我们开始做吧。keep up with跟上,赶上;do away with废除,去掉;get down to 开始,着手;look forward to 期望,期盼。
4.B 句意:我去的不早,结果我没有得到一个好位子。此空需一个引导结果状语从句的连词,所以选B。
5.B 根据句意是向对方介绍那个男孩,所以此空应为B项。
6.D 句意:我们要努力工作,否则我们无法按时完成工作。so意为“所以”;therefore意为“因此,所以”;lest意为“以 免,唯恐”;otherwise意为“否则”,由句意可知D项正确。
7.A 考查定语从句。句意:在最近一次去英国的旅游中,我们参观了科技博物馆,它是伦敦的旅游景点之一。which引导非限制性定语从句,在定语从句中作visited 的宾语,修饰先行词the Science Museum。that 不引导非限制性定语从句;what不引导定语从句;where是关系副词。
8.A 本题考查强调句型:It is/was+被强调部分+that+其他部分。句意:直到快写到信的结尾的时候,她才提到了自己的计划。句中被强调的部分是时间状语not until near the end of the letter。
9.A rather than而不是;more than不仅仅;other than除了;less than 不到,根据句意选A项。
10.B 句意:只有主编来了,才有可能解决这个问题。“Only+状语”放在句首时,主句需要部分倒装,但要注意作状语的从句不能倒装。
11.B 句意:这位著名的音乐家和他的学生被邀请为2012年台北花卉展的开幕式表演。“被邀请”是一个发生在过去的动作,而且不表示对现在造成了影响,也不表示动作持续到现在,所以不能选用完成时。根据主谓一致的语法规则,A as well as B作主语时,遵循“就前原则”,也就是说谓语动词要和A保持一致。也可以理解为本句的主语是A而不是B,所以本题谓语动词的数要和the famous musician保持一致,用was invited。
12.C 考查介词辨析。句意:我熟悉这座城市,因此我不会迷路。sb.be familiar with sth.某人熟悉某事。

Western artist R.V.(Ron)Johns creates his unique Western wildlife paintings by making into his vast experience of true life,Western experiences out in the mountains and on the trails of the great Northwest.Ron paints from the heart and his experience as a cowboy in the west and out on the trails.Ron has a particular passion for the mountains from Eastern Oregon to Alaska and draws from his many years of mountain adventures as inspiration for his Western paintings.Born and raised on a ranch,this cowboy artist is well knowledgeable with the subjects of his Western art.Ron struggles for historical accuracy in his Western cowboy paintings when an artist misrepresents the facts about cowboy life in the west!

Ⅳ.阅读填空
Supplying energy by nuclear power is a new trend in the recent years.However,it may be very dangerous.
First,the radioactive material must travel from its place of production to the power station.Although the power stations themselves are strongly built,the containers used for the transport of the materials are not.Normally,only two methods of transport are in use,namely,road and rail.Unfortunately,both of these may have an effect on the general public,since they are sure to pass near,or even through,heavily populated areas.
Second,there is a problem of waste.All nuclear power stations produce wastes that in most cases will remain radioactive for thousands of years.It is impossible to make these wastes non?radioactive,so they must be stored in one of the inconvenient ways that scientists have invented.For example,they may be buried under the ground,or dropped into deserted mines,or sunk in the area.However,these methods do not solve the problem,since an earthquake could easily break the containers.
Third,there may occur the danger of a leak or an explosion at the power station.As with the other two dangers,this is not very likely,so it doesn't provide a serious objection to nuclear program.However,it can happen.
Separately,these three types of dangers are not a great cause for worry.Taken together,though,the probability of disaster is extremely high.

Ⅰ.1.drive 2.faith 3.blessed 4.optional 5.shrunk
6.dignity 7.thirst 8.microscopes 9.mopped 10.nurseries
Ⅱ.1.A 考查固定搭配。would rather do something than do something和prefer to do something rather than do something都属于固定结构。
2.C 根据句意“你会发现这张地图在你游览伦敦时会非常有用”,可知选C。
3.B 句意:使这本书与众不同的是作者具有的创造性的想象力。分析结构可知,________makes the book so extraordinary为主语从句,从句缺少主语,要用what引导。that引导主语从句时,仅仅起连接作用,不作句子成分,但不能省略;who指人;which引导名词性从句时与what的区别在于它为特指,而what为泛指。故正确答案为B项。分析清楚句子结构是解题关键。
4.B treat sb./oneself to sth.用某物款待某人/自己。句意:如果你陪我购物,我请你吃冰淇淋。
5.B 句意:每当我必须演讲时,在开始前,我都变得非常紧张。whatever“任何事物,一切事物;无论怎样”,引导名词性从句或让步状语从句;whenever“每当;无论什么时候”,引导时间状语从句或让步状语从句;whoever“……的人;无论是谁,不管是谁”,引导名词性从句或让步状语从句;however“不管怎样”,引导让步状语从句。故只有whenever符合句意。
6.A 考查目的状语从句。目的状语从句要用in order that或so that引导。
7.A believe,believe in都表示“相信,不怀疑”的意思,但词意有细微的区别。believe后跟人或话语,表示相信某人的话。believe in信任,宾语是有能力,能带来福祉等。trust与believe in意思差不多,但语气较重,表示“深信不疑”。
8.D 考查动词短语的辨析。pick up“偶然,无意中学会……”。
9.C 句意:我们应该学会把我们面临的问题当作成就未来的垫脚石。use...as是固定用法,“把……用作”。to后要接不定式,for后接名词或动名词,by通常不与use连用。
10.D 考查时态。句意:——请问,这个店里的外卖怎么样?——夫人,如果你在家里慢慢享用的话,这道菜虽然简单,但会给你留下深刻的印象。现在进行时表示将来,“慢慢享用”的过程。
11.A 答语句意:我不很喜欢看电影。care for意为“喜欢”,所以选A项。
12.C 句意:这个小孩既健康又活泼。as well as 连接并列的成分,故选C项。
13.C grateful意为“感激的”,常用于be grateful to sb.for sth.结构。helpful“有帮助的”;hopeful“有希望的”;useful“有用的”。
14.D 句意:亚历山大试图让他的工作在医学圈内得到认可。宾语work和recognize之间存在被动关系,所以用过去分词作宾语补足语。
15.B 考查定语从句的句法知识。原句可改为:This is the reason he explained at the meeting for his carelessness in his work.此处the reason是先行词,关系词作explained的宾语,可省略。
Ⅲ.【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了生活在山区的美国牛仔Ron凭借自己的经历,创作了真实反映牛仔生活的绘画,并且在美国、欧洲以及其他一些国家展出的故事。
1.B 主旨大意题。本文是人物介绍。全文讲述了牛仔Ron的绘画生涯。A项在文中未提及,C项不能表达Ron的牛仔身份,而D项范围过大,不适合做标题。
2.C 细节理解题。从第一段第三句Ron has a particular passion for the mountains from Eastern Oregon to Alaska and draws from his many years of mountain adventures as inspiration for his Western paintings.可知,他17年的牛仔经历是他创作的源泉。
3.D 猜测词义题。尽管canvas的意思是“帆布”,但是在本文中,实际上是表达他把这种精神转移到绘画中。
4.B 主旨大意题。从第二段作者讲述Ron的作品在美国、欧洲以及各种展览中展出可知,他是一位有名的艺术家。
5.A 细节理解题。从最后一段可知,除了绘画,他还讲故事、写诗歌。B、C两项文章中没有提到,D项与文章中的Although a self-taught Western artist...相矛盾。

(2013·广东高考)Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family,and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck.I'm not going to say luck,talent,and circumstances don't come into play because they do.Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence,and that's just the reality of how life is.
However,to succeed in life,one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical.And,in addition to that,in order to get really good at something,one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practising.To become great at certain things,it'll require even more time,time that most people won't put in.
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love.If you don't enjoy what you do,it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success,you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost.It's sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent,but thinking that way does you no good,and there's a huge chance that you're wrong anyway.
Whatever you do,if you want to become great at it,you need to work day in and day out,almost to the point of addiction,and over a long period of time.If you're not willing to put in the time and work,don't expect to receive any rewards.Consistent,hard work won't guarantee you the level of success you may want,but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.
1.Paragraph 1 mainly talks about________.
A.the reasons for success
B.the meaning of success
C.the standards of success
D.the importance of success
2.In Paragraph 2,the underlined word that refers to________.
A.being good at something
B.setting a practical goal
C.putting in more time
D.succeeding in life
3.Successful people suggest doing what one loves because________.
A.work makes one feel pain
B.one tends to enjoy his work
C.one gives up his work easily
D.it takes a lot of time to succeed
4.What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A.Successful people like to show their great skills.
B.People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.
C.People need to achieve success at the cost of life.
D.It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.
5.What is the main theme of the passage?
A.Having a goal is vital to success.
B.Being good is different from being great.
C.One cannot succeed without time and practice.
D.Luck,talent and family help to achieve success.

When Boris left school,he could not find a job.He tried hard and pestered(纠缠)his relatives,but they had problems of their own.He answered advertisements until he could not afford to buy any more stamps.Boris grew annoyed,then depressed,then a little hardened.Still he went on trying and still he failed.He began to think that he had no future at all.
“Why don't you start your own business?” one of his uncles told him.“The world is a money-locker.You'd better find a way of opening it.”
“But what can I do?”
“Get out and have a look round,” advised his uncle in a vague sort of way.“See what people want;then give it to them,and they will pay for it.”
Boris began to cycle around the town and found a suitable piece of a waste ground in the end.Then he set up his business as a cycle repairer.He worked hard,made friends with his customers and gradually managed to build up his goodwill and profit.A few months later,he found that he had more work than he could deal with by himself.He found a number of empty shops but they were all no good:in the wrong position,too expensive or with some other snag(障碍).But at long last,he managed to find an empty shop on a new estate where there were plenty of customers but no competition.
Boris and his assistant taught themselves how to repair scooters and motor-cycles.Slowly but surely the profits increased and the business developed.At last,Boris had managed to open the money-locker and found bank notes and gold coins inside.
6.Which of the following would be the BEST title for the passage?
A.Goodwill is the key to success
B.The world is a money-locker

C.he could make good use of his skills there
D.there were good opportunities there

Ⅱ.1.B hold up举起,受阻;pull through恢复健康;set forth动身,阐明;pull up停下,根据语境,B项符合句意。

3.A 表示计算,统计时用calculate,又因与主语之间是被动关系,故用was calculated。
4.D 根据句意前面的“由于管理不善”可知,后面是“公司开张半年后倒闭了”,所以选D。
5.B 句意:我要进城除了买东西之外还要看望我的老师。in addition to“除了……以外”,相当于besides。
6.D take off起飞;turn off关掉;cut off切断;show off炫耀。句意:喜欢炫耀她们的孩子的母亲们总是谈论他们小孩取得的进步。
7.A 句意:众所周知,黑暗实际上是缺少光明。我们可以在阳光下学习,在黑暗中不可以。absence“缺少,缺席”。
8.D 从题干中because he was offered a better job可推知resigned(辞职)符合语境。regain重新获得;repeat重复;represent代表。
9.C 句意:每天晚饭后,如果不是因为工作后太疲劳,我都会花点时间出去遛狗。if not tired from work=if I am not tired from work,从句中主语及be动词被省略了。
10.B 句意:这些产品很便宜,因为这一产业靠的是原料便宜。空格处的意思是“依靠,依赖”之意。应用rely on。take on呈现,具有;stand on(对某事)持某种态度;take off快速成功,移开,脱下。

14.C 考查形容词。ridiculous荒唐的,滑稽可笑的,符合题意。
15.A 句意:这位老人每天晚上都坐在电视机前,快乐地观看电视上播放的任何节目。happy是解答本题的关键词,adj.+to do sth.表示“……地做某事”,happy to do sth.意为“快乐地做某事”;空格部分很像伴随状语,所以很容易误选B项,但是修饰watching应用副词happily,而不是happy;C项watched与句子的主语是被动关系,不符合句意;to have watched表示发生在谓语动词表示的动作之前。
Ⅲ.【语篇解读】 本文为议论文。成功的关键因素不是天赋、出身或运气,而是设定一个符合实际的目标,然后为此不断地努力、付出。巨大的努力也许无法确保你想要的成功,但是你为之付出的(领域)一定会成为你的优势所在。
1.A 主旨大意题。第一段主要分析了成功的原因,有人认为是天赋、出身或者运气,但是作者并不完全认同,认为这只是生活的现实而已。故A项正确。B项意为“成功的意义”;C项意为“成功的标准”;D项意为“成功的重要性”,均与第一段不相关。
2.B 词义猜测题。根据上句...to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical.可知,that代指“设定一个符合实际的目标”。
3.D 推理判断题。根据第二段可知,成功需要付出大部分人不愿付出的时间来学习和练习,这就是成功人士建议一个人要从事他所喜欢的事情的原因,故D项“成功需要很多时间”正确。A项和C项描述的情况只能在一个人不喜欢的前提下发生,故排除。B项意为“人们往往喜欢自己的工作”,文章中无从得知。
4.B 推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句可知,认为成功是依靠运气或者天赋的想法对你是没有好处的,很有可能你错了,也就是说有时候人们的成功并不是靠这些因素,故B项正确。A项与本段首句不一致,并未提到成功的人喜欢展示自己的技巧;C项at the cost of life“付出生命的代价”是对they have put in a huge part of their life“付出他们生命中绝大部分的时间”的曲解;根据...thinking that way does you no good...排除D项。
5.C 主旨大意题。概括全文可知,文章主要指出成功的关键不是靠天赋、出身或运气,没有大量的时间和练习,一个人是不会取得成功的。文章虽然提到,要取得成功首先要设定一个符合实际的目标,但没说这是“至关重要的(vital)”,这并非文章的主题;文章也并非主要比较being good与being great的不同,故排除B项;D项与文章内容相反。
【语篇解读】 主人公Boris毕业后,在寻找工作的过程中屡屡受挫,失望之至,在叔叔的建议下,从修理自行车开始,逐渐走向了成功。
6.B 标题判断题。纵观全文可以看出,文章通过主人公求职屡遭拒绝,最后经过调整思路赚得第一桶金,然后把自己的生意越做越大,从而打开了世界这把锁钱的锁的故事,由此可知,B项最能概括全文。
7.D 推理判断题。第一段中描述了Boris求职接连失败的感受:Boris grew annoyed,then depressed,then a little hardened.,因此,四个选项中只有disappointing(失望的),符合语境。

Are you fresh out of college,looking to start a career?Have you recently started your very first job? Here are some nice tips to guide you through the first few days.
1.Listen more than you talk.Collect the information about how the organization works,and the reasons why,before you offer “helpful” advice.
2.Don't segregate yourself with people in your age group.Get to know older workers,too.The young group may be more fun for happy hours,but those who are a decade or more older than you can possibly help with your career.And you might find out you enjoy the company,too!
3.Take mistakes seriously.There's nothing more disappointing than a worker who made a mistake and doesn't seem to think it's a big deal.When you make a mistake,immediately be responsible for it,figure out how you're going to fix it,and make it clear that you understand its seriousness.Responses(回复)like “my bad” or worse,no response at all,signal that you don't take work seriously.
4.Take notes.Your boss expects you to remember the special instructions you were given.For most people,that means taking notes.And while a good manager is happy to answer questions,she won't be if the questions are ones she already answered when you weren't bothering to pay attention.
5.Be open to learning.College gave you theory;work is going to give something entirely different.So stay modest and realize your first job is going to be largely about learning.
6.Thank people who help you.When your boss or another coworker(同事)takes the time to help you with something,give them a sincere “thank you”.People who feel appreciated are more likely to go out of their way for you again.If you don't seem to care,they probably won't bother again.
1.The passage is written for________.
A.fresh graduates B.company leaders
C.old workers D.new advisers
2.The underlined word “segregate” probably means________.
A.connect B.treat
C.separate D.share
3.If you made a mistake you should________.
A.think it's not a big deal
B.try to fix it at once
C.say something like “my bad”
D.give no responses at all
4.If you want to remember something that has been given,you had better ________.
A.listen more than you talk
B.take mistakes seriously
C.take notes
D.be open to learning
5.From the last two paragraphs we can learn ________.
A.work can also give us some theory
B.we should often help our coworkers
C.we shouldn't bother to appreciate others
D.we should care for others' help

(2013·福建高考)A MENTORING (导师制) program is giving life changing opportunities to Banbury youth.
Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21.
Alex Goldberg,the program's founder,said: “We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook.
“We try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a difference to our youth.For example,we've secured internships (实习) with world-famous firms such as Honda.
“At a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring,it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures.” Kieran Hepburn,14,is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far.In October the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational,Scientific and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO) International Youth Forum(论坛).
The event was held for young people from around the world,to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look.Kieran joined several hundred observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event.Kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience.“Before we left I didn't quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didn't stop,it was amazing,” he said,“We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon.”
The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life.It dealt with issues (问题) such as drug abuse,violence and unemployment.
Kieran said:“It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August.”
The Young Inspirations mentoring sessions take place each Friday in Banbury.For details visit www.younginspirations.com.
6.The Young Inspirations mentoring program aims to ________.
A.train staff for world-famous firms
B.offer job opportunities to young adults
C.provide youth with unique experiences
D.equip the unemployed with different skills
7.According to Alex Goldberg,it is difficult for schools to offer the mentoring due to ________.
A.the lack of support from firms
B.the cultural differences
C.the effect of unemployment
D.the shortage of money
8.According to the passage,the forum focused on how youth can ________.
A.build up their confidence at school
B.find work experience opportunities
C.improve their social skills for the future
D.play an active role in the change of society
9.We can learn from the passage that ________.
A.the visit to the United Kingdom was amazing
B.Kieran has made great progress in many aspects
C.the youth have found a way to solve their problems
D.the mentoring sessions are held every day except Friday
10.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Alex Goldberg,Founder of Young Inspirations
B.Young People Find a World of Opportunity
C.Kieran,Banbury School Pupil to Paris
D.Debates Help Youth with Their Grades

2.A while用作从属连词时,可表示“尽管;虽然”,引导一个让步状语从句。

10.A 考查动词短语的意义区别。A项的意思是处置,处理;B项意思是依赖、依靠;C项的意思是进行下去,继续开展,坚持下去;D项的意思是伴随,与……相配,与……持同一看法。根据语境可知答案选A项。

Ⅲ.【语篇解读】 本文是一篇应用文。文章向刚刚走出大学校门,准备找工作或刚开始工作的毕业生提供了6条实用且有效的建议。
1.A 推理判断题。根据第一段可知,本文是向刚刚走出大学校门,准备找工作或刚开始工作的毕业生提供一些建议。故答案为A。只要准确理解第一段段意,此题就不会误选。
2.C 词义猜测题。根据段落内容,特别是Get to know older workers too“同时和前辈搞好关系”可判断出这句话的意思是“不要跟你的同龄人一起而与其他人搞隔离”。故答案为C。其他选项放在句中意思逻辑不通顺。
3.B 细节理解题。根据第四段可知,一旦犯错,立刻承担起自己的责任,尽快找出解决的方法。只是说“是我的错”或者更糟糕的是,完全没有任何反应,表现出你完全不把你的工作当回事。故答案为B。其他选项都是不应该做的。
4.C 细节理解题。根据第五段可知,如果你要详细记住给你的指示或老板已经说过的话,你一定要记笔记。故答案为C。
5.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,他们得到感谢后,你再次遇到困难时,他们是更乐于伸出援助之手的。如果你不把别人的善意当回事,那很可能下次他们也不再理你。由此可判断出“我们应该尊重别人的帮助”。故答案为D。其他选项与最后两段的内容不相符。
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了一种新型体系——Young Inspirations。这种体系既能提高年轻人的学业水平,又能帮助他们拥有更多的生活经历以便更好地塑造未来。
6.C 推理判断题。通读文章我们可以发现Young Inspirations不仅能帮助年轻人提高学业水平还能为他们塑造美好未来提供各种经验,故C项正确。A项“为世界著名公司培训员工”,更换了适用对象,与原文不符;B项给young adults提供工作,扩大了适用对象,也不正确;D项“为失业者培训不同的技能”,也是片面的。
7.D 细节理解题。由第五段第一句可知由于资金缩减,造成了学校采用这一体系的困难,所以D项正确。A项“缺少公司支持”,与第四段最后一句“我们与世界著名公司,如Honda公司落实了实习关系”这一表述相矛盾;B项和C项文章没有提及。
8.D 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段可知这次讨论会的主题是年轻人如何驾驭政治和公众生活的变化,这将对他们人生的变化起着积极的指导作用,所以D项正确。A、C两项的表述只是Kieran的个人看法而不是讨论会的主题;文章并没有提到讨论会的主题是“找到就业经验机会”,故B项不正确。
9.B 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二、三段不难推断,这次讨论会不仅使Kieran获得了信心,而且社会技能和学业也取得了巨大进步,故B项正确;A项错在这次参观的目的地不是英国而是法国。C项“年轻人通过这次论坛已经找到了解决问题的办法”,过于绝对化;D项“导师制论坛除了星期五每天都举行”,而文章最后一段讲到“只在周五举行”,正好相反。
10.B 主旨大意题。文章主要介绍通过关于导师制这一新体系的参观研讨活动,给年轻人的未来生活提供了许多经验和机会,故B项正确。A项只是介绍创始人;C项只是一个个案,没有升华为主题;D项则强调辩论的意义,偏离主题。

(2013·山东高考)Jimmy is an automotive mechanic,but he lost his job a few months ago.He has a good heart,but always feared applying for a new job.
One day,he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview.His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8:30.While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed,he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car.Obviously there was something wrong with the car.Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand.When Jimmy finished working on the car,the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service.Jimmy said there was no need to pay him;he just helped someone in need,and he had to rush for an interview.Then the old man said,“Well,I could take you to the office for your interview.It's the least I could do.Please,I insist.”Jimmy agreed.
Upon arrival,Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed.Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair,but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt.One by one,the applicants left the interviewer's office with disappointed looks on their faces.Finally his name was called.The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window.Rocking the chair back and forth,he asked,“Do you really need to be interviewed?” Jimmy's heart sank.“With the way I look now,how could I possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself.
Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy's surprise,it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning.It turned out he was the General Manager of the company.
“Sorry I had to keep you waiting,but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into this office.I just know you'd be a trustworthy worker.Congratulations!”Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well-deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job.
1. Why did Jimmy apply for a new job?
A.He was out of work.
B.He was bored with his job.
C.He wanted a higher position.
D.He hoped to find a better boss.
2.What did Jimmy see on the way to the interview?
A.A friend's car had a flat tyre.
B.A wild man was pushing a car.
C.A terrible car accident happened.
D.An old man's car broke down.
3.Why did the old man offer Jimmy a ride?
A.He was also to be interviewed.
B.He needed a travelling companion.
C.He always helped people in need.
D.He was thankful to Jimmy.
4.How did Jimmy feel on hearing the interviewer's question?
A.He was sorry for the other applicants.
B.There was no hope for him to get the job.
C.He regretted helping the old man.
D.The interviewer was very rude.
5.What can we learn from Jimmy's experience?
A.Where there's a will,there's a way.
B.A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C.Good is rewarded with good.
D.Two heads are better than one.
B
There are a lot of things you can do to help others,whether it's with your mom's chores,or if a friend is upset.Here are some little things you can do to reach out to other people and they will bring benefits such as happiness.
Try to offer first.When people need your help,they'll most likely ask you first,but if you have the chance,try to offer to help before they ask you.This will show that you are willing to help from the start.For example,if you see a friend struggling to carry groceries,offer to help.Or if you see them getting bullied,help them stand up.Or if you see them getting pushed down or beaten,ask “Are you all right?” and help them up.Then try to cheer them up.Believe me,helping people will always make you feel better because it's the right thing to do.
Put_yourself_in_someone_else's_shoes.Being compassionate(有同情心的) can give you a strong reason to help someone else.It can also show people that you really do care about someone.
Volunteer or donate.Being in charitable organizations is a great way to help the less fortunate,like donating food or money to the poor.
Listen.You obviously can't know what you need to do if you're not even paying attention.Plus,people aren't going to rely on you very much if you act like you don't even care what they're saying.Think about what might happen if you don't.More people will feel more miserable if you just leave them when they need you,and you don't want to see people unhappy,do you? Don't stress yourself too much,but it's always nice to lend a hand.
6.In the passage the author talks about________.
A.the benefits of helping others
B.what you can do to help others
C.how to offer to help first
D.how to listen to others
7.What should you do first if your friend feels discouraged after a competition?
A.Encourage him not to lose heart.
B.Help him find out the problem.
C.Show compassion for him.
D.Listen to him patiently.
8.The sentence “Put yourself in someone else's shoes” means________.
A.putting on someone else's shoes
B.putting yourself in someone else's situation
C.showing enough care for others
D.listening to others carefully
9.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.The purpose of charitable organizations is to donate food or money to the poor.
B.Helping others is the right thing to do because it makes you feel better.
C.Helping those who ask you for help first can show that you are very willing.
D.Paying more attention to others will get you more trust.
10.In the next part,the author would most probably talk about________.
A.how to listen to others
B.the result of stressing yourself too much
C.the reason for being nice to lend a hand
D.the benefits of helping others

Ⅱ.1.C 句意:晚上为了取暖,我会填满柴炉,然后为闹钟定时以便半夜里能起来再添一次。根据语境可知此处用动词不定式作目的状语,故答案为C。为了突出目的,通常把目的状语置于句首。
2.D 句意:昨天老板打电话告诉我他给我提供了一份好工作。空格后接的是双宾语,所以选D。
3.C 动名词短语做主语,这里的take和其逻辑主语a person like me有被动关系,故用being taken的形式。
4.A prepare接宾语时表示“准备的具体内容”,此处指“做好思想准备”,故选A。句意:他们发现自己很难对可能面对的艰苦条件做好思想准备。
5.C 句意:这个想法听起来很有趣所以我决定要做进一步的了解。follow up采取后续行动,在……之后再采取进一步行动;pick up捡起,接某人,收听;take up占据(时间、空间);make up编造,化妆,弥补。

8.C 考查非谓语动词和状语从句的省略。状语从句连词once之后的非谓语动词与主句主语anyone之间为被动关系,故选过去分词。
9.B 用not only...but also...连接主语时,谓语动词的单复数根据就近原则,因而选择B项。
10.D however或no matter how后接形容词或副词,这种让步状语从句不需要倒装。
11.C There is no need(for sb)to do sth.(某人)没有必要做某事,(某人)不必做某事。句意:我没必要打破窗户因为我有钥匙。
12.B even though尽管,即使;unless除非;as long as只要。句意:尽管蒂姆不经常锻炼,但他身体很好。前后两个分句是让步转折关系,故选B。
13.D be admitted to 表示“被允许进入,被录取”,其中to是介词;allow和permit常接动词不定式作宾语补足语;agree to do表示“同意做”;agree to sth.表示“同意(计划、建议)等”。
14.B “认为我们以前没有见过面”,正常情况下下文应该是看上去不面熟,但本题中下文说看上去面熟,由此可以看出应该选择B项,although引导让步状语从句。句意:我相信我们以前没有见过面,不过我必须说你看上去的确很面熟。
15.A for the benefit of为了……的利益,其他项均为错误词组。

4.B 推理判断题。由第三段中的倒数第二句Jimmy's heart sank可推知他感觉自己已经没有希望得到这份工作了。选项A“他为其他的申请者感到遗憾”,选项C“他后悔帮助了那位老人”,选项D“这位面试官很粗鲁”在文中均未提及。
5.C 推理判断题。根据文中的叙述可知,吉米在去面试时帮助了一位车坏了的老人,而这位老人就是他去面试的那家公司的总经理,于是吉米得到了那份工作。由此我们可以推断出本文旨在告诉读者“好人有好报”。选项A“有志者,事竟成”,选项B“患难朋友才是真朋友”,选项D“两人智慧胜一人”,都与文章主旨不符。
【语篇解读】 本文主要讲述的是关于如何帮助他人的一些建议。
6.B 主旨大意题。由第一段最后一句可知,文章谈论的是帮助他人做所能做的一些事情和其能带来的益处。故选B。
7.B 细节理解题。由第二段作者举的最后一个例子可知,如果朋友被打倒或击败,首先帮助他们站起来然后鼓励他们。由这个比喻可知第一步要做的是帮助他们找出问题的所在。故选B。
8.B 猜测词义题。由后面的compassionate可知选B。
9.D 细节理解题。由最后一段“若你表现得……”可知D正确。由第四段可知捐钱等仅是慈善组织帮助他人的方法之一,故A错。由第二段最后一句可知B项弄错了因果关系。由第二段第二句可知主动先提出帮助他人才能表示你是自愿的,故C错。
10.D 推理判断题。从文章第一段最后一句知作者将讨论如何帮助别人和帮助别人带来的益处,前面的内容一直在讲如何帮助别人,故下一步该讲帮助别人带来的益处了。

Ⅳ.阅读理解
American sign language has an interesting history.Although there have always been deaf individuals in America,the history really begins in 1817.Before 1817 deaf people communicated by using “home signs”.Gestures were individually created and used within the home for simple communication.There were no schools or formal sign language training for the deaf.
So,why was 1817 an important year? Well,the story begins with Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet.Gallaudet met his neighbor's daughter Alice Cogswell.Alice was the young deaf daughter of Dr.Mason Cogswell from Hartford,Connecticut.Gallaudet began teaching Alice to read and write a few simple words.Excited by the success Dr.Cogswell encouraged Gallaudet to establish a school for the deaf.Cogswell raised the money and Gallaudet traveled to Britain to learn the methods used there.However,the schools refused to share their instructional techniques and methods.
While in London there happened to be a demonstration of the French method of deaf education.Britain was using an oral method of instruction;however,the French method used signs.Gallaudet was fascinated with the method and was able to meet with the instructor,Sicard,and his two deaf pupils,Jean Massieu and Laurent Clerc.Sicard agreed to teach Gallaudet his method and Gallaudet went to Paris to learn French signs.After a while,Gallaudet wished to return home and convinced Clerc to go with him and help him establish the school.The trip home was a 52-day voyage during which Clerc taught Gallaudet French signs and Gallaudet taught Clerc English.
On April 15,1817,Laurent Clerc and Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet established what is currently known as the American School for the Deaf in Hartford,Connecticut.The opening of the first school for the deaf can be viewed as one of the most important events in current deaf culture.
1.What is the text mainly about?
A.How Gallaudet set up the first school for the deaf in America.
B.What contributions Gallaudet made to the education of the deaf in America.
C.Different methods of teaching the deaf in the world.
D.Who invented American sign language.
2.Before 1817 deaf people in America________.
A.couldn't even communicate with their parents at home
B.could only have simple communication within home
C.could only communicate with an oral method
D.could only communicate with deaf people from other homes
3.Schools in Britain didn't teach Gallaudet because________.
A.their methods were quite different
B.they thought it was impossible for Gallaudet to learn
C.Gallaudet knew little about sign language
D.they wanted to keep their methods a secret
4.What happened during the 52-day voyage back to America?
A.Clerc began to teach Gallaudet French signs.
B.American sign language began to form in Gallaudet's mind.
C.Gallaudet learned many of French signs.
D.Both men learned the language of the other.
5.Who gave the biggest help to Gallaudet,according to the passage?
A.Alice Cogswell. B.Dr.Mason Cogswell.
C.Laurent Clerc. D.Jean Massieu.
课时作业(五)
Ⅰ.1.garage 2.relaxed 3.management 4.trainees
5.smartly 6.introduced 7.responsible 8.accurate
9.surprising 10.employees
Ⅱ.1.B 根据句意“在过去30年中我们国家从海外引进了大量的先进的技术和管理。”可知选B。
2.C 句意:既然每一个人都来了,让我们开始制订我们的下一个五年计划。get down to开始做……,to为介词,故其后接动名词形式,可排除A、B项;for不能位于句首引导从句。
3.A accurate精确的;ridiculous可笑的,滑稽的;urgent紧急的;shallow浅的,肤浅的。根据句意“我确信印刷的媒体信息常常会比电视更准确、更可靠。”可知选A。
4.D support支持,支撑;care关心,在意;spare挤出,匀出;share分享。句意:哈里也玩你的玩具——克莱尔,你必须学会分享。
5.A 句意:我的朋友真不错,他带我绕城转了一圈。was前没主语,排除where;it不能引导定语从句,排除D项;that不引导非限制性定语从句,排除B项,故选A项。
6.B It is possible for sb.to do sth.意为“某人有可能做某事”,故选B。
7.D 考查连词辨析。句意:请早起床,否则会错过第一班列车。otherwise 否则,要不然。
8.B 根据上下文这里应表示“结果”之意,故用so that。
9.B 本题考查的是短语look forward to的用法。要注意短语中的to是一个介词,后面接名词、代词或者动词的-ing形式。
10.B 所填选项与happy并列,应看作形容词,说明主语的状态,A、D两项都表示主动意义,意为“令人吃惊的”,C项表示原因,意义不当。surprised看作形容词,表示“吃惊的”。
11.B 句意:直到我来到这里我才意识到这个地方不仅因为它的美丽而闻名,还因它的天气而闻名。句中的not until结构有两种句型:①it is/was not until...that...强调句型;②not until...部分倒装句。分析本题句式可知B项正确。
12.B 考查形容词词义。句意:履行诺言的人当然是负责任的人。
13.C 考查连接词的用法。A项表示一定范围中的哪一个;B项也必须有特定的范围;C项意为“……的事”,不存在范围限制;D项意为“无论……”,不符合题意要求,所以C项正确,此处引导宾语从句,且在从句中作表语。
14.D attend (on/upon/to) 伺候、看护、照料。A应为take care of;B应为look after。
15.B take advantage of利用;take control of操纵,控制,管理。句意:我们应该举行会议来决定派谁去管理这个项目。
Ⅲ.【语篇解读】 本文介绍了一位名叫雪莉·艾伦的女孩身处逆境自强不息并最终取得事业成功的事迹。
1.C 句意:她在大学学习音乐,她的梦想是成为一位钢琴家或一位布鲁斯歌手。dream“梦想,渴望”,符合句意。
2.A 根据下文艾伦患病可知此处表示“一切都改变了”。change改变,变化;disappear消失,不见;stop停止;end结束。
3.D 句意:她患了医生们认为是伤寒的病。thought“认为”,符合句意。
4.B cause sb.to do sth.导致某人干某事。句意:药物导致她失聪了。allow允许;encourage鼓励;enable使能够。
5.B 根据下文“她再也听不到音乐了”可知此处为“她完全失聪了”。
6.B 根据文章第一句提示,此处意为“她一直热爱的音乐”。
7.C but表示句意的转折。
8.A 由下文她转入另外一所大学去学习英语可知句意为“她永远都不会放弃弹钢琴但是她决定改变职业”。
9.C 大学毕业后“找工作”。
10.B 句意:她想要做一份全职工作自立。
11.C then“然后”,表示时间顺序。
12.C 由上文雪莉担任宿舍监管员可知,此句意为:雪莉监管大学期间在大学里生活居住的年轻女子。
13.A 由下文她在1972年获得学位可知,句意:她在研究生学院上学学习。attend“参加,上学”,符合句意。
14.D 句意:雪莉随时准备接受挑战。interested in对……感兴趣;busy with忙于;concerned about关心,关注;ready for准备好干……。

16.A 句意:这位令人惊异的女士……。amazing“令人惊异的,很棒的”,符合句意。
17.B 句意:当她在1992年获得纽约市罗彻斯特大学最高教育学位的时候,被载入史册。make history载入史册。
18.D when引导非限制性定语从句。
19.C follow遵循,沿着,句意:雪莉走过许多路,沿着各种各样五彩缤纷的路追寻她的梦想。
20.A and连接并列成分,与courage在含意上并列的是determination(坚定,决心)。
Ⅳ.【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文,介绍了Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet如何创立美国第一所聋哑学校,开创了美国哑语的先河。
1.A 主旨大意题。综合分析文章可知:文章并不是笼统地介绍美国哑语的发展史,而是介绍在美国哑语发展史中起着关键作用的人物Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet,是他开办了美国第一所聋哑学校。
2.B 细节理解题。文章第一段说明,在1817年之前,美国的聋哑人只能在家里借助简单的手势语交流。
3.D 细节理解题。文章第二段最后一句表明,英国人不想分享他们的教学方法,说明他们保密。
4.D 细节理解题。由文章第三段最后一句可知,在52天的返程中,法国人Clerc教Gallaudet法国手势语言,而Gallaudet教Clerc英语,他们相互学习对方的语言,D项说法更准确全面。
5.C 推理判断题。综合文章信息,Dr.Cogswell给予Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet主要是经济上的援助,而法国人Laurent Clerc则教给了他手势语。

Don't Let Your Job Search Depress You
如果你现在正在找工作,花费的时间肯定比你想象的要漫长。花费大量时间找工作,还是找不到,所以就不免感到受挫,甚至心碎。那么怎样保持昂扬的斗志呢?请阅读本文,从中找到答案。
If you are looking for a job right now,it is certain to take longer than you would like.And because the job search takes longer and has no result,you are frustrated,even heart-broken.So how do you keep your spirits up in such a tough environment? I asked this question of several people,including Lila.
The best advice Lila gave was to manage your feelings.Becoming negative,cynical(愤世嫉俗),or depressed will work against you.When you get angry with yourself,it shows,Lila says.Don't believe you can easily pretend energy and enthusiasm.Most interviewers will pick up your real feelings.
Actively manage your feelings so that you actually are happy,focused,and energetic.Of course,this is not easy.Here are some changes that should help in this culture of rejection:
Be your own good manager.Since searching for a job is indeed a full-time job in itself,manage yourself appropriately.Bad managers are never satisfied,setting impossible goals and then punishing people for not finishing them.Instead,set reasonable weekly goals for networking,researching,or applying for jobs.Reward yourself for achieving your goals or doing something difficult.And never beat up on yourself for doing things wrong or not doing enough,the way a bad manager would.The people around you should be good managers too—encourage them to be supportive.
Don't just sit there,doing nothing.This means getting out of the house.Take a class.Join a professional group—they generally have special benefits for unemployed members.Check a few things off your list.Do anything that will get you out,teach you something new,connect you with new people,and perhaps become a new line on your resume(简历).
Keep to a routine.Manage your time as if you were working.Keep a regular schedule for researching new positions,following up,and volunteering.Work in exercise — you'll look and feel better.A daily and weekly schedule will provide the structure that will enable you to have a sense of accomplishment.
【诱思导学】
1.How do you keep your spirits up when you are frustrated according to Lila?

2.What should you do when you have achieved your goals or doing something difficult?


3.What's the benefit of keeping a daily and weekly schedule?


【答案】 1.Manage your feelings.
2.Reward yourself.
3.It will provide the structure that will enable you to have a sense of accomplishment.

强调句型由“It is/was+被强调部分+that/who+其他”构成。强调人时可用that/who,强调其他任何部分时只能用that。被强调的部分可以是单词、短语,也可以是从句,但结构必须完整。被强调的成分可以是主语、宾语和状语,但不能是定语或谓语。

正是在公园里汤姆把他的手表弄丢了。(状语)
在使用强调句型时须注意的几个问题:
①原句子是现在时或将来时,强调句用It is + 被强调的部分 + that (who)...;若原句子是过去时,强调句用:It was + 被强调的部分 + that (who)...
②在强调not...until结构中的时间状语时,应将not移到until前,再将not until部分移到被强调的位置。
③强调主语时,who 或that后面的谓语形式须与被强调的主语保持一致。
I didn't go to bed until twelve o'clock last night.→It was not until twelve o'clock last night that I went to bed.
昨天晚上我一直到十二点才睡。

【答案】 B
对画线部分进行强调
I studied at this school a few years ago.

习 语
英语习语是英语中使用最普遍、表达力最强、文化内涵最丰富的一部分,它是人们从口头和著作中提炼出来的,是英语语言的精粹。英语习语指英语中长期习用的、表达完整意义的、结构定型的固定表达。
一、英语习语的来源
1.源于历史故事或历史事件。如:burn one's boats,相传古罗马恺撒等名将出征时,常烧毁船只,士兵们后退无路,只有勇往直前,战胜敌人。与汉语中的破釜沉舟意义很相近。
2.源于《圣经》或神话故事。《圣经》中有很多关于耶稣,撒旦以及一些发人深省的故事,因受到英美国家人民的喜爱而广为流传,成为大量英语习语的来源。如:Achilles' heel (唯一致命的弱点),meet one's Waterloo(一败涂地),a Pandora's box (潘多拉之盒,即灾难、麻烦、祸害的根源),Sphinx's riddle(斯芬克司之谜,比喻难解之谜),As wise as Solomon (像所罗门一样聪明,比喻非常富有智慧等)。还有一些习语源于神话故事或传说,如:to act the part of a Trojan Horse这句习语的Trojan Horse即出自于希腊神话,古希腊人攻打特洛伊城,久攻不下,于是留下一个内藏有士兵的木马,木马被特洛伊人当做战利品拉入城内,深夜希腊人与木马内士兵里应外合,打下了特洛伊城。现在Trojan Horse被作为用意是对手上当,误以为于己有益的破坏的人或事。
3.源于风俗人情,日常生活。海在英国文化背景中扮演着重要的角色,因此很多英语习语都跟海有关系。如:at the sea(茫然,困惑)。同时,人们日常生活中存在着大量日积月累的宝贵的文化资源,英语习语作为一种独特的语言形式,形象地反映出人们平时衣食住行的风俗人情,如:He was a drug addict and went to pot at last.(他吸毒成瘾最后走上了毁灭之路。)其中习语go to pot (变坏,毁灭)是讲人们在饭后将剩菜倒入桶里,意指“无用了”。
二、英语习语的分类
英语习语按词性分可分为动词性习语、名词性习语、形容词性习语以及副词性习语。
1.动词性习语
fall by the way 中途遇见某人
go easy 安闲,从容
laugh off one's head笑破肚皮
hang by a hair千钧一发
grasp at a straw抓救命稻草
hang in the balance未见分晓
2.名词性习语
flesh and blood 亲属
a drop in the ocean沧海一粟
fish in the air白费力气
money like water挥金如土
a stone's throw一箭之遥
3.形容词性习语
high and weight 趾高气昂的
as poor as a church mouse家贫如洗
as easy as falling off a log极其容易
as plain as the day显而易见
4.副词性习语
heart and soul全心全意的
all at sea不知所措
for good永远
in luck幸运
三、英汉习语中所反映的文化差异
1.生存环境的差异
习语的产生与人们的劳动和生活密切相关。英国是一个岛国,历史上航海业曾一度领先世界;而汉民族在亚洲大陆生活繁衍,人们的生活离不开土地。比喻花钱浪费,大手大脚,英语是spend money like water,而汉语是“挥金如土”。英语中有许多关于船和水的习语,在汉语中没有完全相同的对应习语,如to rest on one's oars(暂时歇一歇),to keep one's head above water(摆脱困难),all at sea(不知所措)等等。
在汉语的文化氛围中,“东风”即是“春天的风”,夏天常与酷暑炎热联系在一起,“赤日炎炎似火烧”、“骄阳似火”是常被用来描述夏天的词语。而英国地处西半球,北温带,海洋性气候,报告春天消息的却是西风,英国著名诗人雪莱的《西风颂》正是对春的讴歌。英国的夏季正是温馨宜人的季节,常与“可爱”、“温和”、“美好”相连。
2.习俗差异
英汉习俗差异是多方面的,最典型的莫过于在对狗这种动物的态度上。狗在汉语中是一种卑微的动物。汉语中与狗有关的习语大都含有贬义:“狐朋狗党”、“狗急跳墙”、“狼心狗肺”、“狗腿子”等,尽管近些年来养宠物狗的人数大大增加,狗的“地位”似乎有所改变,但狗的贬义形象却深深地留在汉语言文化中。而在西方英语国家,狗被认为是人类最忠诚的朋友。英语中有关狗的习语除了一部分因受其他语言的影响而含有贬义外,大部分都没有贬义。在英语习语中,常以狗的形象来比喻人的行为。如You are a lucky dog(你是一个幸运儿),Every dog has his day(凡人皆有得意日),Old dog will not learn new tricks(老人学不了新东西)等等。形容人“病得厉害”用sick as a dog,“累极了”是dog-tired。与此相反,中国人十分喜爱猫,用“馋猫”比喻人贪嘴,常有亲昵的成分,而在西方文化中,“猫”被用来比喻“包藏祸心的女人”。
3.宗教信仰方面
与宗教信仰有关的习语也大量地出现在英汉语言中。佛教传入中国已有一千多年的历史,人们相信有“佛主”在左右着人世间的一切,与此有关的习语很多,如“借花献佛”、“闲时不烧香,临时抱佛脚”等。在西方许多国家,特别是在英美,人们信奉基督教,相关的习语如God helps those who help themselves(上帝帮助自助的人),也有go to hell(下地狱去)这样的诅咒。

Ⅲ.阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
A
I'm a single mom looking for a job.One morning I had grabbed my favorite spot at a local Starbucks and was going through the newspaper when I noticed a man in ragged clothing looking really unkempt(不整洁的).I felt led to speak to this man and so I did.
I learned that he was homeless and just wandered from place to place.Starbucks was nice enough to allow him to come in from the cold or the heat depending on the day.I also learned that he used to be an architect,but as we spoke I saw more and more that he wasn't at the fullest of mental capabilities,which made me even more upset that he didn't have a place to go.
I sat with this man for a very long time in Starbucks calling different clinics,hospitals,shelters,police departments.He even gave me a beat up business card of a gentleman saying that was his son's phone number.It was an out-of-state number,but I called anyway but was not able to reach him.Unfortunately,all the places I called were unable to take him.
I asked if he was hungry and he said yes,so I went down the street to a deli and ordered a sandwich and drink.When I got back,my new found buddy became angry for a reason I was not aware of or maybe it was some sort of mental disturbance.All I could do was set the sandwich down and tell him that I'll leave it there for him if he wanted it and I left.I walked around the town for a couple of minutes and then headed back to see if he was still there.
A man who was sitting in Starbucks most of the time when I was there came out and told me that the man ate the sandwich and that he was touched that I had sat with him like I did.It seems to me that no matter if something go away on the surface,there is always something beautiful at a deeper level.
36.The author of the passage________.
A.was out of work
B.had a big family
C.looked really unkempt
D.was a homeless person
37.The author stayed with the man for a very long time to________.
A.find him a place to go
B.wait for his son's number
C.order him something to eat
D.prevent him from being hurt
38.The man became angry because________.
A.he can't reach his son for long
B.he must have some mental disease
C.he was hungry so much
D.he didn't want the author to leave

John Apollos is losing weight in the old-fashioned way—by eating less.A whole lot less.As a volunteer in the two-year Comprehensive Assessment of Long-Term Effects of Reducing Intake of Energy(CALERIE) study at Tufts University in Boston,Apollos has lowered his daily caloric intake 25% over the past eight months.The fat,not surprisingly,has melted away;the 52-year-old physical trainer has lost more than 11 kg since the study began and is down to his high school weight.
But that's not the real reason that Apollos and the other participants in the program are eating only three-quarters of what they used to.The researchers running the multicenter CALERIE study are trying to determine whether restricting food intake can slow the aging process and extend our life span.“I feel better and lighter and healthier,” says Apollos.“But if it could help you live longer,that would be pretty amazing.”
The idea is counterintuitive(反直觉的):If we eat to live,how can starving ourselves add years to our lives? Yet decades of calorie-restriction studies involving organisms ranging from microscopic yeast to rats have shown just that,extending the life spans of the semistarved as much as 50%.Last July a long-term study led by researchers at the University of Wisconsin pushed the implications of this a bit closer to our species,finding that calorie restriction seemed to extend the lives of humanlike rhesus monkeys as well.The hungry primates fell victim to diabetes,heart and brain disease and cancer much less frequently than their well-fed counterparts did.
But there may be more than just the absence of disease operating here.Anytime you go on a diet,after all,you stand a good chance of lowering your blood pressure,cholesterol level and risk of diabetes and other health woes.All that can translate into extra years.With calorie restriction—usually defined as a diet with 25% to 30% fewer calories than normal but still containing essential nutrients—something else appears to be at work to extend longevity.
Finding out what that something is—and determining if it works in people—is what CALERIE is all about.By putting people on a carefully reduced diet for two years,investigators hope to home in on the biological mechanism that links eating less to living longer.They will also explore whether such a strict diet is even feasible in the overweight U.S.
39.Who is John Apollos according to the passage?
A.He is a student of Tufts University.
B.He is one of the researchers of CALERIE.
C.He is an expert of Tufts University.
D.He is a volunteer in one of the studies taken by CALERIE.
40.What do they take the study for?
A.They want to make sure whether people can lose weight by eating less.
B.They want to know if people can live longer by eating less.
C.They want to find out what are healthy foods.
D.They want to know what people should eat to live longer.
41.What does the underlined word in the fourth paragraph mean?
A.Goodness. B.Diseases.
C.Conditions. D.Wealth.
42.What does the author write the first paragraph for?
A.To show John Apollos' great achievement to readers.
B.To tell a story to readers to make the passage more vivid.
C.To draw readers' attention and then lead them to the survey.
D.To tell people what John Apollos has experienced.

What should you think about when trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others.These may show strengths that you can use in your work.A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career.A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work.So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school.On the other hand,you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard.Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job,they may have indirect value.A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details.This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
Your school may have taught you skills,such as typing or technical drawing,which you can use in your work.You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills.If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer,think what you gained from it.If nothing else,you may have learned how to get to work on time,to follow instructions and to get on with older workers.You may have learned to give correct change in a shop,for example.Just as important,you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.
Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself.You may be_all_thumbs when you handle tools;perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures.It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist.Your school record,for instance,may not be too good,yet it is an important part of your background.You should not be apologetic(认错的) about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.
43.What is the passage mainly about?
A.The importance of working hard at school.
B.Choosing a career according to one's strengths.
C.How to face one's weakness.
D.The value of school work.
44.The writer thinks that a student have a part-time job is probably________.
A.a good way to find out his weak points
B.one of the best ways of earning extra money
C.of great use for his work in the future
D.a waste of time he could have spent on study
45.The underlined phrase “be all thumbs” (in para 3) probably means“________”.
A.be clumsy at doing things
B.be skillful in doing things
C.be not interested in certain things
D.be easily bored in doing things
D
For three days a fierce winter storm had traveled 1,500 miles across the North Pacific from Alaska.In the foothills of the Sierras in the town of Grass Valley,California,the streets were flooded.At the small church,the heavy rain and high winds beat against the windows with a violence that Father O'Malley had never before heard.
In his tiny bedroom,O'Malley was writing Sunday's sermon by candlelight.Out of the darkness,the phone in his office rang.As he picked up the phone,a voice quickly asked,Is that Father O'Malley?
“Yes.”
“I'm calling from the hospital in Auburn,” said a concerned female voice.“We have a heavily ill patient who is asking us to get someone to give him his last rites (临终祈祷).Can you come quickly?”
“I'll try my best to make it,” O'Malley answered.
The trip was only 30 miles,but it took him two hours to reach the hospital.
“I'm so glad you could get here,” said the night nurse.“The man called Tom has been an alcoholic for years,and his liver has finally given out.He lives up in the woods,and no one around here knows much about him.”
In the soft night-light of the room,it was as though his life was already gone.
“Hello,Tom.I'm Father O'Malley.I was passing by and thought we could talk a bit before you go to sleep for the night.”
Tom replied,“I know my deal is done and it's my turn to go.Now get on with it.”
“Patience,” said Father O'Malley,and he began to say the prayers of the last rites.
After the “Amen”,Tom moved a little,and he seemed to want to talk.
“Would you like to make your confession(忏悔)?”O'Malley asked him.
“Absolutely not,” Tom answered.“But I_would_like_to_just_talk_with_you_a_bit,before_I_go.”
After a couple of hours,Tom suddenly said,“Father,when I was young,I did something that was so bad that I've never told anyone about it.It was so bad that I haven't spent a single day since without thinking about it and reliving the horror.”
“Don't you think it would be good for you to tell me about it?” O'Malley asked.
“Even now,I still can't talk about what I did,” Tom said.After a while,he sadly said,“Okay.It's too late for anyone to do anything to me now,so I guess I might as well tell you.”
“I worked as a switchman(扳道工) on the railroad all my life,until I retired a few years ago and moved up here to the woods.Thirty-two years,two months and 11 days ago,I was working in Bakersfield on a night kind of like tonight.”
Tom's face became intense.“It happened during a bad winter storm with a lot of rain.I guess I was more drunk than I thought I was because I pushed that switch in the wrong direction.At 45 miles an hour my train slammed into a passenger car at the next crossing and killed a young man,his wife and their two daughters.”
“I have had to live with my being the cause of their deaths every day since then.”
There was a long moment of silence as Tom's confession of this tragedy hung in the air.After what seemed like ages,Father O'Malley gently put his hand on Tom's shoulder and said very quietly,“If I can forgive you,God can forgive you,because in that car were my mother,my father and my two older sisters.”
46.Why does Tom remember so clearly about the day of the accident?
A.Because of the bad weather.
B.Because he was working on the railroad.
C.Because his carelessness caused the accident.
D.Because he drove the train and killed the family.
47.What can you learn from Father O'Malley's words in the last paragraph?
A.He can forgive Tom because he is one member of the family.
B.He suffered much more than God because he lost his family.
C.God will not forgive Tom unless he forgives Tom first.
D.Tom needn't feel guilty any more because his family has forgiven him.
48.What can you infer from the passage?
A.Tom has had a house in the woods the whole of his life.
B.Tom makes many friends after retirement to relieve his horror.
C.Tom has realized the fact that he will die tonight.
D.No one survived in the terrible accident.
49.What does the underlined sentence mean?
A.Tom wants to chat with Father O'Malley before sleeping.
B.Tom wants to tell Father O'Malley his secret before his death.
C.Tom wants to talk with Father O'Malley before his death.
D.Tom wants to talk with Father O'Malley before coming out of hospital.
50.The aim of the passage is to ask people________.
A.never to keep the guilt in the dark but to admit it bravely.
B.never to drink before working or driving on the road.
C.to make confession bravely before they die.
D.to be kind and forgiving to those worn by their guilt.
Ⅳ.任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
A newly-established line of research suggests that relationships can keep us healthier.And a new study finds those social connections may also help us live longer.
This new study combined a large number of previous studies and concluded that a lack of social interactions ranks right up with smoking,obesity(肥胖),and alcoholism as a risk factor for death.
Researchers from Brigham Young University analyzed 148 studies with a total of some 300,000 participants,tracking their social relationships and whether they survived to the end of their particular study,which averaged about seven years.
“Those who scored higher on those measures of social relationships were 50 percent more likely to be alive at that follow-up than people who scored low on those measures,” said Professor Julianne Holt-Lunstad,one of the authors of the study.
She pointed out several relationships can affect our health.They can help us cope with stress.They can help us maintain healthy habits like eating well,exercising or seeing a doctor.And there's increasing research that shows a direct but poorly-understood link between relationships and physiological(生理的)processes in the body.
“So for instance,our relationships have been linked to lower blood pressure,better immune(免疫的) functioning,and even inflammatory(发炎的)processes that are implicated in a number of diseases,” said Holt-Lunstad.“And so our relationships can influence our health in a variety of ways that are all very important.”
Even though Holt-Lunstad and her colleagues looked at almost 150 different scientific studies,most of them didn't assess the quality of the relationships.
“And certainly relationship quality matters,and not all relationships are entirely positive,”she conceded.“And so it's possible that the effects that we have reported may be a conservative estimate,and that the odds of survival associated with high-quality relationships may actually be larger.”
Speaking via Skype,Julianne Holt-Lunstad said her research suggests that policy makers need to consider relationships as a health issue.

综合检测(二)
1.B not only位于句首,句子用部分倒装,故选B。
2.C even though“尽管”;ever since“从那以后”;now that“既然”;even as“甚至当……时候”。
3.C 考查动词短语辨析。句意:我们刚搬进一套大一点的房子,有很多要做的事情。让我们开始做吧。keep up with跟上,赶上;do away with废除,去掉;get down to 开始,着手;look forward to 期望,期盼。
4.B 句意:我去的不早,结果我没有得到一个好位子。此空需一个引导结果状语从句的连词,所以选B。
5.B 根据句意是向对方介绍那个男孩,所以此空应为B项。
6.D 句意:我们要努力工作,否则我们无法按时完成工作。so意为“所以”;therefore意为“因此,所以”;lest意为“以 免,唯恐”;otherwise意为“否则”,由句意可知D项正确。
7.A 考查定语从句。句意:在最近一次去英国的旅游中,我们参观了科技博物馆,它是伦敦的旅游景点之一。which引导非限制性定语从句,在定语从句中作visited 的宾语,修饰先行词the Science Museum。that 不引导非限制性定语从句;what不引导定语从句;where是关系副词。
8.A 本题考查强调句型:It is/was+被强调部分+that+其他部分。句意:直到快写到信的结尾的时候,她才提到了自己的计划。句中被强调的部分是时间状语not until near the end of the letter。
9.A rather than而不是;more than不仅仅;other than除了;less than 不到,根据句意选A项。
10.B 句意:只有主编来了,才有可能解决这个问题。“Only+状语”放在句首时,主句需要部分倒装,但要注意作状语的从句不能倒装。
11.B 句意:这位著名的音乐家和他的学生被邀请为2012年台北花卉展的开幕式表演。“被邀请”是一个发生在过去的动作,而且不表示对现在造成了影响,也不表示动作持续到现在,所以不能选用完成时。根据主谓一致的语法规则,A as well as B作主语时,遵循“就前原则”,也就是说谓语动词要和A保持一致。也可以理解为本句的主语是A而不是B,所以本题谓语动词的数要和the famous musician保持一致,用was invited。
12.C 考查介词辨析。句意:我熟悉这座城市,因此我不会迷路。sb.be familiar with sth.某人熟悉某事。
13.B 考查连词。这里是说“你知道邵先生来学校有多长时间了吗”?
14.B 句意:考虑到他的社会地位,我们很难反对他加入到我们到西部执教的队伍中来。considering介词,“考虑到,就……而论”;oppose“反对,反抗”。
15.C 句意:他们承诺,无论可能有什么困难,到今年底都要开发出一个软件包。本题是一个主从复合句,由句意“无论”可知是让步状语从句,从而排除选项B,D项。从句中的关键词是实义动词have,用还原法,可知是短语have difficulty,所以从句为whatever difficulty they might have。如果选B,则从句要改为:however difficult it might be。
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章围绕主题“美国梦”讲述了作者的心理变化,作者遭遇了一系列的不幸后,在乡村的经历和体验让他对“美国梦”有了不同于以往的更为深刻的理解。
16.A 根据该句话的语境“跟其他所有人一样我想实现美国梦并且为此努力工作,我们所有人各自奋斗,目标相同”可知,应选separately“各自地,分别地”。equally“相等地,平等地”;violently“激烈地”;naturally“自然地”。
17.B 由本空前的“through a series of unhappy events”可知,作者经历了一系列的不幸之后,梦想破碎了。故应选fall apart“崩溃,破碎”。fall off“减少,跌落,变坏”;fall over“被……绊倒,意外地从……上跌落”;fall out“争吵,脱落,解散”。
18.D 此处语境为:穷困潦倒时,作者只好到乡村找了一个便宜的居所。此处搭配为search...for...“在……搜索……”。其余选项均不符合语境。
19.D 由“I had my truck and $ 56.”可知作者已经到了几乎身无分文的地步,带着身上仅有的56美元,作者只能以尽可能便宜的价格租下住所,故用cheapest。
20.C 此处语境为:作者找到了一座破旧的可以租赁的房子,位于西弗吉尼亚州的波托马克河对岸,沿着蜿蜒的山路向上四英里处。over在此处意为“在……的另一边”,又如:They live over the river in Richmond.他们住在河对面的里士满区。
21.B 由“a shabby house”“full of broken glass and rubbish”可知这是一座破旧的房子,到处都是玻璃碎片和垃圾,由此推测这里已被“遗弃”多时。abandoned“被放弃的,被遗弃的”,符合题意。occupied“已占用的,在使用的”;emptied“被清空的”;robbed“被抢劫的”。
22.C 作者找到房主租下房子后,必须先进行清理之后才能“camp in”,所以此空填cleared,即作者先“清理”了一个角落。turn“旋转,使改变方向”;approach“接近,走近,靠近”;cut“剪切,切成”。这三项均与语境不符。
23.A 句意:尽管当地人对我一无所知,但是慢慢地,他们开始教我……很显然前后是一种转折关系,故用but。although“尽管,虽然”,它的位置应该放在“The locals knew nothing about me...”之前;otherwise“否则,不然”;for“因为,由于”。
24.D 此处语境为:他们开始教我与邻居们相处的艺术。art“艺术,技能”,符合题意。benefit“利益,好处”;lesson“教训,经验”;nature“自然,天性”。这三项均与语境不符。
25.A 本题考查动词短语的意义辨析。stick around“逗留,停留”;look around“环视周围”;swing around“使转过”;turn around“(使)转身;(使)好转”。此处语境为:邻居们开始在此逗留与我聊天,故选A项。
26.C 文章第一段讲到了作者起初理解的美国梦是工作、按揭、信用卡和成功,而由空格后的“...not the one of individual achievement but of...”可知,现在信仰的是一个“不同的”美国梦,故选different。wild“野生的,野蛮的,狂野的”;real“真实的”;remote“偏僻的,遥远的”。
27.A 本段前面讲到邻居们教作者做邻居的艺术,给他提供了很多帮助,由此可知选neighborliness“友善,睦邻友好”,侧重指邻里关系。其余三项分别意为“幸福”“友好,亲切”“仁慈,好意”。
28.D 根据第一段所描述的美国梦的内容“a job,a mortgage(按揭),credit cards,success”可知,作者原来认为这些东西是文明生活所必需的,故选necessary。unique“独特的”;expensive“昂贵的”;rare“稀少的”。这三项均不符合语境。
29.A 由第二段中“I came upon a shabby house four miles up a winding mountain road...”可知房子在山上,故选up。
30.B 句意:在这座山上,我最珍贵的财产是我和邻居们的关系(relationships)。cooperation“合作”;satisfaction“满意”;appointment“约会”。这三项均不符合语境。
31.C 解答该题的依据是第二段中的“I __18__ the countryside for some place...”及本段的“Four years later,I moved back into...”。与countryside相对的是town,故选C。reality“现实”;society“社会”;life“生活”。这三项均不符合语境。
32.B 该空前的“many people were having a really hard time”说明许多人正过着相当艰难的生活,可推测是“失去”了工作和家,故选losing。create“创造”;offer“提供”,明显不符合语境;quit只能和jobs搭配,不能和homes搭配。
33.C 本题考查对四个动词短语的意思的理解。put in“放进,提交,申请”;turn in“上交,拐入,告发”;take in“让……进入,接受,理解,欺骗”;get in“进入,收获,被录取”。此处说作者设法租了一个足够大的房子能让一些人住进来,因此选C。get in是指人主动进入,不符合语境。
34.B 此处语境为:如果我们不团结在一起,我们就都会流落到住收容所(shelters)的地步。yard“庭院”;camp“帐篷”;cottage“小屋,村舍”。这三项均不符合语境。
35.D 此处语境为:与其说美国梦在于自己能得到什么,不如说它在于我们所有人如何一起渡过难关。get by勉强度日,为固定搭配。about后面的从句不缺主语、宾语和表语,因此不选what;也没有“是否”(whether)的意思;也没有涉及时间(when)问题,因此只能选how。
【语篇解读】 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在寻找工作的路上遇到了一个无家可归的人。出于好心作者想给他找到一个去处,然而遇到了一些意料不到的事情。
36.A 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中I'm a single mom looking for a job可判断作者是没有工作的,因此选A。
37.A 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中I sat with this man for a very long time in Starbucks calling different clinics,hospitals,shelters,police departments可判断作者是为了给那个人找个去处。
38.B 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中he wasn't at the fullest of mental capabilities以及倒数第二段中maybe it was some sort of mental disturbance可判断。
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文,通过以John Apollos为例,说明了一项新的发现——吃得越少,活得越久。
39.D 细节理解题。由第一段第三句“As a volunteer in the two-year Comprehensive Assessment of Long-Term Effects of Reducing Intake of Energy(CALERIE)...”可知,John Apollos是CALERIE进行的一项研究中的志愿者。
40.B 推理判断题。由第一段最后一句“The fat,not surprisingly,has melted away...”及第二段前两句“...trying to determine whether restricting food intake can slow the aging process and extend our life span。”可知,尽管志愿者通过减少进食量达到了减肥的效果,然而,这并不是研究人员的初衷,他们进行这项研究的目的在于弄清楚人类是否可以通过减少进食量而达到延缓衰老,延长寿命的目的。
41.C 猜测词义题。由画线单词前的“...lowering your blood pressure,cholesterol level and risk of diabetes...”可知,woe应该是指包括高血压,高胆固醇和糖尿病在内的糟糕的健康条件。其余说法不符合逻辑。
42.C 写作意图题。文章第一段以John Apollos亲身经历为例引起读者的兴趣,进而引入新的研究成果。其余说法或错误或片面,不符合作者意图。
43.B 全文讲的就是如何在选择职业的时候,应用在校期间学到的自己擅长的强项。
44.C 从第二段的第三句到这一段的结束可以看出正确答案。
45.A 根据这个词组所在的那一句的含义和thumb这个词的意思:大拇指,猜测出句意是:当你在使用工具的时候,你可能是所有的手指都是大拇指,意思就是没有长短之分,没有擅长,就是笨拙。
【语篇解读】 生命中总有一些人对我们造成了难以忘却的痛,然而他们也会背着沉重的包袱直到人生的最后一刻。那么你是否会宽恕他们?本文中Father O'Malley的行为会告诉我们一切。
46.C 推理判断题。由倒数第三段最后一句killed a young man,his wife and their two daughters可知C正确。
47.A 细节理解题。最后一句是指Father O'Malley作为受害家庭的一员已宽恕了Tom,那么上帝也会这样的。故选A。
48.C 推理判断题。由Tom在文章中说的第一句话I know my deal is done and it's my turn to go可知C正确;由倒数第四段第一句可知A错;由第七段no one around here knows much about him可知B错;Father O'Malley活下来了,故D错。
49.C 细节理解题。由此句上面的倒数第四段可知这里的go应指die。故选C。
50.D 主旨大意题。从文章开始Father O'Malley不顾恶劣天气去医院到最后宽恕了使他失去家人的Tom,可以看出文章主旨是D项。
51.relationship 52.Researchers 53.Conclusion(s)/Result(s)

Ⅳ.任务型阅读
Does anyone still hope to be a gentleman?There are only select occasions when one is still addressed as a gentleman,and they are remarkable for their variety and irony(讽刺).We are “Ladies and Gentlemen” at the start of wedding toasts and the acts of old-school comedians.Should the modern man give up the idea of the gentleman?
We can find two very different champions of the idea of a gentleman settling on the same point.Oscar Wilde,always precise of phrase,noted “the true gentleman is one who is never unintentionally rude”.Much of life is the manners of everyday getting along;queuing,answering the phone,making plans,keeping promises,remembering birthdays.We can agree with Wilde that in all these,not being rude is a true—and gentlemanly—mark of success.This he shares with American Civil War general,Robert E.Lee.Found in Lee's papers after his death was a discussion of the gentleman in which he noted “The gentleman does not needlessly and unnecessarily remind an offender of a wrong he may have committed against him.He cannot only forgive,he can forget.” Yet,both the military man and the writer bring the same thought into their definitions.For Wilde,the gentleman may cause intentional rudeness;for Lee,he may necessarily remind an offender of a wrong.
The gentleman knows when to forgive,and when to not,when to make peace and when to face up to—even at the risk of rudeness.It is this wisdom that is worth reflecting upon.The gentleman is more than a bowler hat,a social class,or an old-fashioned title.It is a way of life.To be a gentleman is to be polite,but not passive; to be graceful,but with bravery.Within the gentleman's elegant velvet(天鹅绒) glove can be found an iron fist.
课时作业(九)
Ⅰ.1.drive 2.faith 3.blessed 4.optional 5.shrunk
6.dignity 7.thirst 8.microscopes 9.mopped 10.nurseries
Ⅱ.1.A 考查固定搭配。would rather do something than do something和prefer to do something rather than do something都属于固定结构。
2.C 根据句意“你会发现这张地图在你游览伦敦时会非常有用”,可知选C。
3.B 句意:使这本书与众不同的是作者具有的创造性的想象力。分析结构可知,________makes the book so extraordinary为主语从句,从句缺少主语,要用what引导。that引导主语从句时,仅仅起连接作用,不作句子成分,但不能省略;who指人;which引导名词性从句时与what的区别在于它为特指,而what为泛指。故正确答案为B项。分析清楚句子结构是解题关键。
4.B treat sb./oneself to sth.用某物款待某人/自己。句意:如果你陪我购物,我请你吃冰淇淋。
5.B 句意:每当我必须演讲时,在开始前,我都变得非常紧张。whatever“任何事物,一切事物;无论怎样”,引导名词性从句或让步状语从句;whenever“每当;无论什么时候”,引导时间状语从句或让步状语从句;whoever“……的人;无论是谁,不管是谁”,引导名词性从句或让步状语从句;however“不管怎样”,引导让步状语从句。故只有whenever符合句意。
6.A 考查目的状语从句。目的状语从句要用in order that或so that引导。
7.A believe,believe in都表示“相信,不怀疑”的意思,但词意有细微的区别。believe后跟人或话语,表示相信某人的话。believe in信任,宾语是有能力,能带来福祉等。trust与believe in意思差不多,但语气较重,表示“深信不疑”。
8.D 考查动词短语的辨析。pick up“偶然,无意中学会……”。
9.C 句意:我们应该学会把我们面临的问题当作成就未来的垫脚石。use...as是固定用法,“把……用作”。to后要接不定式,for后接名词或动名词,by通常不与use连用。
10.D 考查时态。句意:——请问,这个店里的外卖怎么样?——夫人,如果你在家里慢慢享用的话,这道菜虽然简单,但会给你留下深刻的印象。现在进行时表示将来,“慢慢享用”的过程。
11.A 答语句意:我不很喜欢看电影。care for意为“喜欢”,所以选A项。
12.C 句意:这个小孩既健康又活泼。as well as 连接并列的成分,故选C项。
13.C grateful意为“感激的”,常用于be grateful to sb.for sth.结构。helpful“有帮助的”;hopeful“有希望的”;useful“有用的”。
14.D 句意:亚历山大试图让他的工作在医学圈内得到认可。宾语work和recognize之间存在被动关系,所以用过去分词作宾语补足语。
15.B 考查定语从句的句法知识。原句可改为:This is the reason he explained at the meeting for his carelessness in his work.此处the reason是先行词,关系词作explained的宾语,可省略。
Ⅲ.【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了生活在山区的美国牛仔Ron凭借自己的经历,创作了真实反映牛仔生活的绘画,并且在美国、欧洲以及其他一些国家展出的故事。
1.B 主旨大意题。本文是人物介绍。全文讲述了牛仔Ron的绘画生涯。A项在文中未提及,C项不能表达Ron的牛仔身份,而D项范围过大,不适合做标题。
2.C 细节理解题。从第一段第三句Ron has a particular passion for the mountains from Eastern Oregon to Alaska and draws from his many years of mountain adventures as inspiration for his Western paintings.可知,他17年的牛仔经历是他创作的源泉。
3.D 猜测词义题。尽管canvas的意思是“帆布”,但是在本文中,实际上是表达他把这种精神转移到绘画中。
4.B 主旨大意题。从第二段作者讲述Ron的作品在美国、欧洲以及各种展览中展出可知,他是一位有名的艺术家。
5.A 细节理解题。从最后一段可知,除了绘画,他还讲故事、写诗歌。B、C两项文章中没有提到,D项与文章中的Although a self-taught Western artist...相矛盾。
Ⅳ.1.address 2.abandon 3.intention 4.success 5.remind

(2013·广东高考)Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family,and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck.I'm not going to say luck,talent,and circumstances don't come into play because they do.Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence,and that's just the reality of how life is.
However,to succeed in life,one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical.And,in addition to that,in order to get really good at something,one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practising.To become great at certain things,it'll require even more time,time that most people won't put in.
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love.If you don't enjoy what you do,it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success,you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost.It's sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent,but thinking that way does you no good,and there's a huge chance that you're wrong anyway.
Whatever you do,if you want to become great at it,you need to work day in and day out,almost to the point of addiction,and over a long period of time.If you're not willing to put in the time and work,don't expect to receive any rewards.Consistent,hard work won't guarantee you the level of success you may want,but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.
1.Paragraph 1 mainly talks about________.
A.the reasons for success
B.the meaning of success
C.the standards of success
D.the importance of success
2.In Paragraph 2,the underlined word that refers to________.
A.being good at something
B.setting a practical goal
C.putting in more time
D.succeeding in life
3.Successful people suggest doing what one loves because________.
A.work makes one feel pain
B.one tends to enjoy his work
C.one gives up his work easily
D.it takes a lot of time to succeed
4.What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A.Successful people like to show their great skills.
B.People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.
C.People need to achieve success at the cost of life.
D.It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.
5.What is the main theme of the passage?
A.Having a goal is vital to success.
B.Being good is different from being great.
C.One cannot succeed without time and practice.
D.Luck,talent and family help to achieve success.

When Boris left school,he could not find a job.He tried hard and pestered(纠缠)his relatives,but they had problems of their own.He answered advertisements until he could not afford to buy any more stamps.Boris grew annoyed,then depressed,then a little hardened.Still he went on trying and still he failed.He began to think that he had no future at all.
“Why don't you start your own business?” one of his uncles told him.“The world is a money-locker.You'd better find a way of opening it.”
“But what can I do?”
“Get out and have a look round,” advised his uncle in a vague sort of way.“See what people want;then give it to them,and they will pay for it.”
Boris began to cycle around the town and found a suitable piece of a waste ground in the end.Then he set up his business as a cycle repairer.He worked hard,made friends with his customers and gradually managed to build up his goodwill and profit.A few months later,he found that he had more work than he could deal with by himself.He found a number of empty shops but they were all no good:in the wrong position,too expensive or with some other snag(障碍).But at long last,he managed to find an empty shop on a new estate where there were plenty of customers but no competition.
Boris and his assistant taught themselves how to repair scooters and motor-cycles.Slowly but surely the profits increased and the business developed.At last,Boris had managed to open the money-locker and found bank notes and gold coins inside.
6.Which of the following would be the BEST title for the passage?

15.A 句意:这位老人每天晚上都坐在电视机前,快乐地观看电视上播放的任何节目。happy是解答本题的关键词,adj.+to do sth.表示“……地做某事”,happy to do sth.意为“快乐地做某事”;空格部分很像伴随状语,所以很容易误选B项,但是修饰watching应用副词happily,而不是happy;C项watched与句子的主语是被动关系,不符合句意;to have watched表示发生在谓语动词表示的动作之前。
Ⅲ.【语篇解读】 本文为议论文。成功的关键因素不是天赋、出身或运气,而是设定一个符合实际的目标,然后为此不断地努力、付出。巨大的努力也许无法确保你想要的成功,但是你为之付出的(领域)一定会成为你的优势所在。
1.A 主旨大意题。第一段主要分析了成功的原因,有人认为是天赋、出身或者运气,但是作者并不完全认同,认为这只是生活的现实而已。故A项正确。B项意为“成功的意义”;C项意为“成功的标准”;D项意为“成功的重要性”,均与第一段不相关。
2.B 词义猜测题。根据上句...to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical.可知,that代指“设定一个符合实际的目标”。
3.D 推理判断题。根据第二段可知,成功需要付出大部分人不愿付出的时间来学习和练习,这就是成功人士建议一个人要从事他所喜欢的事情的原因,故D项“成功需要很多时间”正确。A项和C项描述的情况只能在一个人不喜欢的前提下发生,故排除。B项意为“人们往往喜欢自己的工作”,文章中无从得知。
4.B 推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句可知,认为成功是依靠运气或者天赋的想法对你是没有好处的,很有可能你错了,也就是说有时候人们的成功并不是靠这些因素,故B项正确。A项与本段首句不一致,并未提到成功的人喜欢展示自己的技巧;C项at the cost of life“付出生命的代价”是对they have put in a huge part of their life“付出他们生命中绝大部分的时间”的曲解;根据...thinking that way does you no good...排除D项。
5.C 主旨大意题。概括全文可知,文章主要指出成功的关键不是靠天赋、出身或运气,没有大量的时间和练习,一个人是不会取得成功的。文章虽然提到,要取得成功首先要设定一个符合实际的目标,但没说这是“至关重要的(vital)”,这并非文章的主题;文章也并非主要比较being good与being great的不同,故排除B项;D项与文章内容相反。
【语篇解读】 主人公Boris毕业后,在寻找工作的过程中屡屡受挫,失望之至,在叔叔的建议下,从修理自行车开始,逐渐走向了成功。
6.B 标题判断题。纵观全文可以看出,文章通过主人公求职屡遭拒绝,最后经过调整思路赚得第一桶金,然后把自己的生意越做越大,从而打开了世界这把锁钱的锁的故事,由此可知,B项最能概括全文。
7.D 推理判断题。第一段中描述了Boris求职接连失败的感受:Boris grew annoyed,then depressed,then a little hardened.,因此,四个选项中只有disappointing(失望的),符合语境。
8.C 细节理解题。由倒数第二段的“Then he set up his business as a cycle repairer.”可知答案。
9.D 推理判断题。由倒数第二段的“But at long last,he managed to find an empty shop on a new estate where there were plenty of customers but no competition.”可以看出,那里顾客较多、没有竞争,也就是说那里机会好,所以选D。
10.B 推理判断题。最后一段前半部分告诉我们他的生意越来越大,利润越来越可观,最后一句对此作了总结,由此可以看出,他的事业取得了成功。
Ⅳ.1.Many people prefer to telephone rather than write letters.
2.In addition to saving time,you can save money and energy.
3.It is not ridiculous that fish is the best brain food.
4.I once lived in Guangzhou,which is the largest city in the south of China.
5.By the end of next month,we'll have finished all the tasks.

Ⅳ.阅读理解
A 23-year-old college dropout from Quebec has become the first Canadian champion of the World Series of Poker,trumping thousands of challengers to take home 8.9 million US dollars in prize money.
Jonathan Duhamel of Montreal beat Florida native John Racener,24,after 90 minutes of play on Monday,emitting primal screams as he gripped mounds of cash he won in poker's richest and most prestigious crown.
He entered Monday night's play with a commanding six-to-one chip advantage in the No-Limit Texas Holdem tournament,and kept Racener from winning any big hands or dramatic hands.
“This means so much to me,I'm the happiest guy on the earth right now,”said Duhamel,who was hoisted (升起) in the air by a crowd of hometown friends and relatives.
“I am very happy to be the first Canadian.It's an honour for me and it's great for Canada,”he said.
The pair had been the last two remaining in an event that began in July with 7,319 entrants,who put up 10,000 dollars each or won entry in smaller tournaments.
The final nine competitors played a 14-hour session that ended early Sunday with Duhamel with a huge lead.
His parents and closest friends sat on the stage at Penn & Teller Theater at the Rio Las Vegas resort,and dozens of Canadian fans filled the audience in Montreal Canadians jerseys to show support.
Duhamel's mother Johanne admitted after his victory the concern she had felt for him when at age 19 he had quit a finance degree at the University of Quebec at Montreal to focus on poker.
“It's not like a common (job),it's not something safe,” she said,adding that she would continue her own job because “I'm not the one who won.”
In recent years,the World Series of Poker championships have increasingly gone to non-Americans.In 2005,Australian Joe Hachem won,followed in 2008 by Peter Eastgate of Denmark.Jerry Yang,who escaped Laos as a boy when Communists took over,won in 2007.
Both Duhamel and Racener began their poker lives online.Racener won 5.5 million dollars for placing second.
1.In which country was the Poker Championship held?
A.In Canada. B.In America.
C.In Australia. D.In Laos.
2.What's the probable meaning of“emitting”in the second paragraph?
A.giving out B.bringing out
C.sending out D.letting out
3.How was Jonathan Duhamel after he won the champion?
A.He collapsed under great pressure.
B.He felt very excited and proud.
C.He decided to stop playing poker.
D.He felt playing poker dangerous.
4.What's Jonathan Duhamel's mother's attitude towards his playing poker?
A.worried—discouraged
B.concerned—supportive
C.angry—preventive
D.happy—approved
5.What can we conclude from the passage?
A.The World Series of Poker championship is held annually.
B.Jonathan Duhamel has played poker only for five years.
C.Duhamel's mother is also crazy about playing poker.
D.The competitors competed against each other online in finals.

【美文阅读】
Secrets of Successful People
Are you equipped to succeed?People who are successful have certain qualities that lead them to greater heights.
Nowadays,literature fills with texts written by people from all backgrounds who describe their recipes(秘诀) for success,regardless of their field.Because we live in an age of performance,where failure has become the largest of the crimes,it is no wonder so many people are looking for readymade recipes that give satisfactory results—and that too,quickly!
But which of the many theories out there is correct?The truth is that they probably all contain a part of the solution,but none have it in entirety.This is because there's no recipe for success,at least not in general.The fact remains that if you have an interest in developing certain personal qualities,you can tip the odds more in your favor.
By definition,charisma(魅力) is the power to please,and win with ease.Charismatic people have the ability to gather others to their cause because they know the importance of addressing people sincerely and simply.They have a sense of well-developed listening,give you their full attention when you speak,look you straight in the eye,call you by your name and even remember every
detail of your past conversations,simply because they give you their full attention and sympathy.In turn,you want to associate more with them!
What use are the qualities of charisma if you are in a hospital bed?The most important thing in life is one's health.You therefore need to invest time and money to maintain your health,changing physical and dietary habits.
Finally,regardless of what field you're in,it is important to remain grounded and critical of your own actions.It really is the only way to see changes and be prepared enough to adapt quickly.The methods you use today to be successful may not be as effective a few years.Without losing confidence in your abilities,to question yourself can be the most effective thing!
【诱思导学】
1.Why are so many people looking for recipes for success now?

2.What's the main idea of the third paragraph?

3.What is the most effective thing for you to adapt quickly?


【答案】 1.Because they want satisfactory results quickly and no failure at all.
2.The Secret of Charisma.
3.Being critical of your own actions/Questioning yourself in a relevant context.

限制性定语从句与非限制性定语从句的几点区别
区别一:形式不同
限定性定语从句主句和从句之间不用逗号隔开;而非限定性定语从句与主句之间通常有逗号隔开。
区别二:功能不同
限定性定语从句用于对先行词的意义进行修饰、限制和识别,如果去掉,就会造成句意不完整或概念不清;而非限定性定语从句用于对先行词起补充说明作用,如果省略,句意仍然清楚、完整。
区别三:含义不同
比较下面的两个句子:
I have a sister who is a doctor.
我有一个当医生的姐姐。(姐姐不止一个)
I have a sister,who is a doctor.
我有一个姐姐,她是当医生的。(只有一个姐姐)
区别四:先行词不同
限定性定语从句的先行词只能是名词或代词,而非限定性定语从句的先行词则可以是名词或代词,也可以是短语或句子。
区别五:关系词不同
关系词that和why可用于限制性定语从句中,通常不用于非限制性定语从句;另外,在限制性定语从句中,关系词有时可以省略,而在非限制性定语从句中关系词一律不省略。
  People who take physical exercise live longer.
进行体育锻炼的人活得长些。(若把从句去掉句子就失去意义)
His daughter,who is in Boston now,is coming home next week.

as与which引导非限制性定语从句的区别
两者之间的区别在于:
1.which 引导的定语从句只能位于主句后,但as引导的从句可位于主句前、中、后。
2.as在定语从句中作主语时,从句谓语通常要有be或别的系动词,但which不受此限制。
3.as 引导的定语从句只表示一个众所周知或意料之中的事,但 which 不受此限制。
4.as有“正如”之意,而which则意为“这(件事,一点)”,可用and this/that/it来代替。
5.as多用于固定搭配中:as is often the case(这是常有的事),as was expected(不出所料),as often happens(正如经常发生的那样),as is known to all(众所周知),as has been said before(如上所述),as is mentioned above(正如上面所提到的)等。
【对接高考】
(2013·江苏高考)The president of the World Bank says he has a passion for China, he remembers starting as early as his childhood.
A.where        B.which
C.what D.when
【解析】 句意:世界银行行长说,他热爱中国,这种热爱他记得早在童年时就开始了。通过分析句子结构可知,The president of the World Bank says he has a passion for China为主句,通过还原法可知定语从句是he remembers his passion for China starting as early as his childhood,从句中his passion starting为动名词复合结构。his passion用which替代。when和where虽然可以引导定语从句,但是它们在定语从句中是分别用来作时间状语和地点状语的,不能指代passion;what不能用来引导定语从句,故排除。

[自我总结]
1.委婉语(euphemism)是用比喻、 、 、迂回、缩略和喻指等手法来表达生活中那些使人 ,惹人不快,招人厌恶和令人恐惧的事物的 形式。
2.委婉语能使在某种场合不便 或不能直说的事物,用另一种 得以表达,使人们避免了许多 的局面,减少不必要的误会和不快,以谋求理想的交际效果。
【答案】 1.含蓄;借代;尴尬;修辞 2.直说;方式;难堪
英语委婉语(euphemism)
英语委婉语的使用,使得人们巧妙地表达了语言禁忌,传达了说话者的思想,也丰富了英语语言本身和英语文化,从而令英语更加生动自然,妙趣横生。
英语委婉语一般可分成两大类:传统委婉语(traditional euphemisms)和文体委婉语(stylistic euphemisms)。所谓传统委婉语亦称是与禁忌语密切相关的。像生、病、死、葬、性、裸、拉、撒等禁忌事物,如果直接表达,那就是禁忌语,给人的感觉是粗鄙,生硬,刺耳,无礼。反之,如果间接表达,这就是委婉语,给人的印象是典雅,含蓄,中听,有礼。
所谓文体委婉语,实际上是恭维话、溢美之词,与禁忌语并无关系。英、美(尤其是当代美国人)在交际过程中,为了表示礼貌,为了避免刺激,或是为了争取合作,有时会采用夸饰的手法,对一些令人不快的事物以美言相称。委婉语使用的范围十分广泛:
例1 “死亡”的委婉语
在英语里,表达“死”的委婉语很多,最常用的有:pass away(过世),to go west(归西天),tick the bucket(翘辫子),turn up one's toes(伸脚趾),to go to sleep(长眠),to be no more(没了,不在了),to close one's eyes(闭眼),to lay down one's life(牺牲),to expire(逝世),to breathe one's last(咽气),to end one's day(寿终),to pay the debt of nature(了结尘缘),to cross over to the other side(去世),to go to the happy hunting ground(去世)等。
例2 “贫穷”的委婉语
汉语中有“拮据”、“手头紧”、“囊中羞涩”表示贫困,英语中表示“贫穷”的委婉语有:badly off(短缺的),less well off(不太宽裕的),indigent(缺少钱物的),down on one's luck(时运不济),hard up for money(缺钱),in difficulty(处于困境)。
而have-nots(不富有的人)或a man of modest means(财产不多的人)或negative saver(积蓄为负值的人)都是“穷人”的婉称。美国对收入低于生活标准的个人或家庭的补助也被称作“税”,即“逆所得税”(negative income tax)。
贫穷落后的发展中国家可说成developing countries或the Third world(第三世界)。
例3 “老”的委婉语
年龄是西方国家的一个敏感话题,可用多种委婉形式表达“老”,如:senior citizen,people in advanced years,elderly people,third age,to feel one's age,mature等。
而“养老院”就称为a rest home(休养所),a private hospital(私人医院),a nursing home(护理之家)等。
由于英汉文化的差异,一种语言中的委婉表达在另一种语言中找不到相对应的表达方式,甚至连相近的表达也没有。例如汉语中有贵校,寒舍,惠存,贱内等的表达,英语中没有,这主要是因为汉语文化中,人们常使用谦词来表示对对方的礼貌与尊敬,而西方人难以理解汉语文化中的这种谦虚心理,因此英语中也不存在相对应的委婉的表达。英汉语中的委婉语涉及社会生活的各个方面,是各自文化的具体表现,在交际过程中起到了举足轻重的作用,因此我们在日常的语言学习中,一定要注意委婉语的积累和使用。避免不必要的误会,以便达到成功的交际,这是语言学习的最终目的。

如何写演讲稿
  演讲的目的是阐述演讲者的观点,并且通过演讲者的语言感染力让听众理解并接受其观点。因此,演讲稿在写作时要做到观点明确,层次分明,论据有力。
一、英语演讲稿的基本组成部分是:
1.开始时对听众的称呼语
最常用的是 Ladies and gentlemen,也可根据不同情况,选用 Fellow students,Distinguished guests,Mr.Chairman,Honorable Judges(评委)等等。
2.提出论题
由于演讲的时间限制,必须开门见山,提出论题。提出论题的方法有各种各样,但最生动、最能引起注意的是用举例法。比如:你要呼吁大家关心贫穷地区的孩子,你可以用亲眼看到的或者收集到的那些贫穷孩子多么需要帮助的实例开始。另外,用具体的统计数据也是一个有效的引出论题的方法,比如:你要谈遵守交通规则的话题,你可以从举一系列有关车辆、车祸等的数据开始。
3.论证
对提出的论题,不可主观地妄下结论,而要进行客观的论证。这是演讲中最需要下工夫的部分。关键是要把道理讲清楚。常见的论证方法有举例法、因果法、对比法等等。
4.结论
结论要简明扼要,以给听众留下深刻印象。
5.结尾
结尾要简洁,不要拉拉扯扯,说个没完。特别是不要受汉语影响,说些类似“准备不足,请谅解”,“请批评指正”这样的废话。最普通的结尾就是:Thank you very much for your attention。
二、英语演讲稿的常用语:
1.演讲稿要开门见山阐明演讲者的观点
In my point of view,I like/prefer...
There is no doubt that...
In order to make our world better,we should...
2.注意使用关联词使得文章层次分明
表示比较、对照:unlike,but,however,on the other hand,on the contrary,otherwise
表示递进关系:besides,what's more,what was worse,moreover,furthermore,in addition
表示总结:in general,in a word,in short,on the whole,to sum up,in brief
3.可以适当使用复合句,使得语言表达有力
What I want to point out is that...,for a person who wants to be successful in life and to be useful in society,he will have to learn to be both...and...
It's high time that immediate measures were taken to better the strength and face the challenges.

[连句成篇]










【参考范文】 
Ladies and gentlemen,
As we all know,everyone in the world wants to succeed.As a matter of fact,opportunity comes once in a while.On most occasions,it appears without being noticed.Only when the opportunity has left us,do we realize that we have lost it.
Some people know the importance of opportunity.They understand opportunity is a factor in achieving success.So they are always ready for an opportunity when it arrives.
However,other people give up their efforts to seek opportunity and grasp it.They are used to waiting for opportunity to come knocking on their doors.
All people are given opportunity,but only the more hard-working people seize it.
Thank you for listening.

Some time ago,I discovered a whole lot of antique (古董) shops near my home.So I left home one morning carrying the chair that had a broken leg.I didn't think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended.I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception (接待).I was quite wrong.The man would not even look at my chair.
The second shop,though slightly more polite,was just the same,and the third and the fourth—so I decided that my approach must be wrong.I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind.I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper,“Would you like to buy a chair?”He looked it over carefully and said,“Yes,not a bad chair.How much do you want for it,sir?”“Twenty pounds,”I said.“OK.” he said,“I'll give you twenty pounds”.“It's got a slightly broken leg.”I said.“Yes,I saw that,but it's nothing.”
Everything was going well according to the plan and I was getting excited.“What will you do with it?”I asked.“Oh,it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.”“I'll buy it.”I said.“What do you mean?You've just sold it to me,”he said.“Yes,I know but I've changed my mind.I'm sorry,I'll give you twenty-seven pounds for it.”“You must be crazy,”he said.Then,suddenly the penny dropped.“I know what you want.You want me to repair your chair.”“You are right.”I said.“And what would you have done if I had walked in and said ‘Would you mend this chair for me?’”“I wouldn't have agreed to do it,” he said.“We don't do repairs,not enough money in it and too much trouble.But I'll mend this for you,shall we say for a five?”He was a very nice man and was greatly amused (感到有趣)by the whole thing.

Cities need to put efforts to deal with pollution and clear the air.
Chinese cities will need to put efforts to clear up the sky when a new department to improve regional air quality is set up by 2015,according to the latest plan released by the State Council.
Besides the existing pollution control program for SO2,regional emission caps(区域排放上限)for other certain chemicals will be established in the three key air polluting areas—the Yangtze River Delta,Pearl River Delta and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.Coal-consumption caps will also be tried out in some areas,according to the plan.
“The plan is aimed at dealing with regional air pollution—such as acid rain and smog—which have become increasingly obvious in China in recent years and caused a severe threat to people's health,”Zhang Lijun,vice-minister of environmental protection,said in an interview on Monday.
“The air quality in a city affects the regions nearby because pollutants(污染物) can travel through the atmosphere,” said Chai Fahe,vice-director of Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences.
“So efforts to reduce air pollution in a single city,targeting a certain pollutant will not be enough,”Chai said.
Zhang said,“The country's major industrial districts—the Yangtze River Delta,Pearl River Delta and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region—have recorded more than 100 misty days annually in recent years.”
These three regions,home to at least 200 million people,occupy only 6.3 percent of the country's area but consume 40 percent of the country's coal and produce half of its steel,according to official figures.
Studies also show that the visibility(能见度) in eastern regions of China has dropped by 7 to 15 km compared to that in the early 1960s,as a result of air pollution.
Liaoning province,the Shandong Peninsula,Wuhan in Hubei province and its surrounding area,the Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan region in Hunan province,the Chengdu-Chongqing region,and the western coast of the Taiwan Straits are also listed as areas to carry out such regional air pollution control programs,according to the plan.
The new plan also requires an improved air quality system,which will measure the pollution levels.“The current system,which only measures some major pollutants,cannot reflect the_true_picture.”said Chai.
43.It will not be enough to reduce air pollution in a single city because________.
A.air pollution has been becoming more and more serious in recent years
B.air pollution like acid rain and smog is threatening people's health
C.air pollutants in a city can travel in the sky and affect nearby areas
D.air pollutants stay in fixed places over the cities
44.Suppose the visibility in eastern regions of China was 130 km in the early 1960s,the visibility there nowadays is ________.
A.123 to 115 km B.137 to 145 km
C.123 to 145 km D.115 to 137 km
45.The main purpose of the passage is________.
A.to inform readers of the damage caused by air pollution
B.to introduce the new plan to control air pollution
C.to provide official figures of air pollution levels
D.to point out the regions affected by air pollution

Little Robby,our neighbour's nephew,carefully drew some of his water into a bowl and started for the door.How I hated this water rationing (定量供应).We were forced to bathe without soap in the deep little pond we shared with Jessie,our cow.She was all we have now.Wells were dry,and crops transformed to dust.
I held the screen open for Robby and watched,smiling,as he slowly sat on the steps to my house.Dozens of bees circled his hair,and he imitated(模仿)their buzzing.His aunt's words echoed in my ears:
“I don't know what I was thinking when I took him in.Doctors say he wasn't hurt in the crash that killed my sister,but he can't talk.He's not like my children at all.”
Why couldn't she see the_wonderful_gifts this four-year-old boy possessed?My heart ached for Robby.He had become the dearest part of our world,eagerly tending the garden with me and my husband,Tom.He was blessed with a loving nature and a deep admiration for all living things,and I knew he could talk to animals.
His curious and brown eyes mirrored an understanding of everything spoken.I longed to adopt him.Robby's aunt eagerly agreed to our request that he live with us for the summer.All his days were spent in our company anyway.I brushed away a tear,remembering how tiny and helpless he looked when he hastily put his hand in mine and gave me an old brown paper bag.It contained two faded T-shirts we had bought him last year at the county fair and a pair of shorts.This and the clothes he wore were his only belongings.
On a silken string around his neck was hung a whistle.Tom had made it for him in case he was ever lost or in danger.After all,he could not call out for help.He knew perfectly well that the whistle was not a toy.It was for emergencies only,and to blow on it would bring us both running.I had told him the story of the boy who cried wolf,and I knew he understood me.
I sighed as I dried and put away the last supper dish.Tom came into the kitchen and helped clear the table.Every ounce of recycled water was saved for a tiny vegetable garden Robby had planted beside the porch.He was proud of it,and we tried desperately to save it.But without rain soon,it too would be lost.Tom put the pan on the counter and turned to me.
“You know,honey,”he started.“I've been thinking a lot about Robby lately.”
My heart began to pound,but before he could continue,a scream exploded from the yard made us jump.My God!It's Robby's whistle!When we reached him,Robby was pointing excitedly to the sky.Looking up,we saw the most magnificent sight.Rain clouds!“Robby!Help me,quickly!We need all the pots and pans from the kitchen!”
The whistle dropped his lips and he raced with me to the house.A drop of water fell on my pot and then another.Soon the yard was enveloped in soaking,glorious rain.We all stood with faces held upward to feel the comfort of it.Tom picked up Robby and danced about the pots,shouting and whooping,“Rain for Robby!” Tom swung about to show me Robby's face.He was laughing right out loud!I hugged them both,tears of joy mixing with the rain.
“W-W-Wobby's!”he stammered(结结巴巴地说).Stretching out one tiny hand in the shape of a cup to catch the rain,he giggled(咯咯地笑) again.“Wobby's...rain...Mom,”he whispered.
46.Why did Robby bring the water to the author's house?
A.He had been adopted by the author.
B.He lived with the author for the summer.
C.He wanted to help the author fetch water.
D.The author treated him very well.
47.In the third paragraph the underlined phrase“the wonderful gifts” refers to________.
A.his love for nature and all living things
B.his kindness to help others around
C.his readiness to accept what happened to him
D.his independence since his childhood
48.Why did the author “jump” when hearing the whistle?
A.Robby told her that it was going to rain.
B.The sudden whistle made her terrified.
C.An emergency might happen to Robby.
D.Robby may find something special.
49.What can we learn about Robby from the passage?
A.Robby once was hurt badly in an accident but survived.
B.Robby hasn't accepted the author and Tom as his parents.
C.Robby didn't know what the whistle meant to him.
D.Robby's aunt regretted adopting Robby very much.
50.The purpose of the passage is to tell us that________.
A.we should take care of the disabled children
B.we should find the gift in any children
C.it is difficult to get water in some dry areas
D.children are very sensitive to the rain
Ⅳ.任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
A study published Monday found that people who sleep less tend to be fat,and experts said it's time to find out if more sleep will fight fatness.
“We've put so much emphasis on diet and exercise that we've failed to recognize the value of good sleep,” said Fred Turek,a physician at Northwestern University.
Monday's study from Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk covered 1,000 people and found that total sleep time decreased as body mass index—a measure of weight based on height increased.
“Men slept an average of 27 minutes less than women and overweight and fat patients slept less than patients with normal weights,” it said.In general the fatter subjects slept about 1.8 hours a week less than those with normal weights.
“Americans experience insufficient sleep and fat bodies.Clinicians are aware of the burden of fatness on patients,” the study said.
“Our findings suggest that major extensions of sleep time may not be necessary,as an extra 20 minutes of sleep per night seems to be associated with a lower body mass index,”it added.
“We caution that this study does not set up a cause-and-effect relationship between restricted sleep and fatness,but investigations indicating success in weight loss via extensions of sleep would help greatly to set up such a relationship.”
The study was published in the Archives of Internal Medicine along with an editorial by Turek and Northwestern colleague Joseph Bass commenting on it and related research.
In an interview,Turek said some studies have shown the lack of sleep causes declines in an appetite holding back protein hormone,and increases in another hormone that cause a longing for food.“In addition neuropathies(神经疗法) in the brain governing sleep and fatness appear to overlap(部分重叠),”he said.
“Fatness has been rising dramatically in developed countries and reached epidemic(流行病)levels in the United States,”it added,“leading to a variety of health problems.”

综合检测(三)
1.D 句意:在这次飞机失事中一百多人遇难,只有五位乘客幸存。此处应用谓语动词,而且根据句意应用一般过去时,故选D项。
2.C 考查定语从句。本题用which代表前面整个句子。非限制性定语从句排除that;this表示并列句,但没有连词and。
3.D also 可用于句中,而too,as well常用于句末,故选D项。
4.C 通过分析句子结构可知,________ it is discovered在句中作状语。在这个状语从句中,不缺少构成句子的主要成分,所以引导词只能在从句中作状语,从而选择具有副词性质的词成为答题的关键。分析四个选项可知符合条件的只有C项(wherever),故答案选C。句意:在全球经济中,无论是在哪儿发现一种治疗癌症的新药物,这都将会在全球产生很多经济方面的可能性。
5.C 句意:架子上有很多玩具,你想玩哪个玩哪个,不过当你玩完了的时候,请把它们放回原处。put back把……放回原处,符合句意。
6.C 句意:他伤势很重,但期望他能康复。pull away 脱身,离开,逃出;pull down拆毁,推翻;pull in(火车)进站,到站;pull through康复,符合句意。
7.D 考查动词词义。句意:她在6分钟内跑完2,000米,在所有运动员中排第二。
8.B possess意为“拥有”,符合句意,故选B项。
9.A 考查句式There is no/little point of doing sth.做某事没有意义。句意:跟吉姆争论一点意义都没有,这没有任何帮助。B项意为“意见,含义”;C项是形容词,不符合题干结构;D项意为“观点,看法,意见”。
10.A 考查句子之间的逻辑关系,可知“modeling business is by no means easy to get into”与“the good model will always be in demand”之间是转折关系,因此使用while引导让步状语从句。while在此意为“虽然,尽管”,相当于though或although。
11.B in spite of和despite具介词性,多接名词或代词,不接从句,此处为省略主谓的从句,只有形容词,不宜用介词短语。
12.A 考查动词的用法。过去分词短语作定语,相当于一个定语从句who was involved in the murder。
13.C 句意:如果你朋友提出的想法让你吃惊,不要马上拒绝;相反,想象它是真的。thus因此;besides况且,除此之外;rather相反,与此相反;otherwise否则,要不然。前后两句的语意是相反的,由此可知正确答案为C项。
14.B 考查动词consider的用法。consider doing sth.考虑做某事;sb. be considered to have done sth.某人被认为已经做了某事。
15.C 本题考查短语辨析。care about担心,介意,take care当心,care for照看,由句意可知选C。
【语篇解读】 皮革商汤姆因为一次次的失败使得他万分沮丧,他对自己的城市也失去了信心,于是搬到了另外一个城市,在一个周末发生的事让他找到了自己失败的原因,那就是对别人过于刻薄和冷漠……
16.C 根据上文可知汤姆商场失意,情绪沮丧,总认为别人欺骗他,故对居住的城市失望要搬离。
17.D 搬到另外一个城市。another再一,又一。
18.C 根据常识可知,搬了新家要打扫卫生,故选cleaning。
19.B 分析句子成分可知,此句是个强调句,It was...that...。
20.C 根据下文可知,汤姆家里没有准备蜡烛,停电后没法干活,故用quit“停止”。
21.A 根据下文in a low mood可推断Tom当时的心情不好,故选用helplessly无助地。
22.A 夜晚一般很宁静,根据上文对敲门声的描述,可知这里不是强调夜的黑“dark”。
23.A 刚来到新地方,没有熟人。acquaintance熟人;consultant顾问;adolescent青少年。
24.C 前面提到汤姆讨厌被人打扰,后面谈到他去开门,前后形成转折,故用however。
25.B 根据下文可知小姑娘问汤姆是否有蜡烛。
26.D 结合语境“answered Tom in anger”知,此处表示“猛烈地关上门”,故violently符合语境。
27.D 汤姆开始以为小姑娘是来借蜡烛的。
28.B 过了一会儿,又有敲门声,这里体现出汤姆厌烦的心情,故用again,而不用suddenly。
29.C 根据语境可知,小姑娘是被奶奶派来送蜡烛的。没有suggest sb.to do的用法;forbid禁止;force强迫。
30.D 汤姆原本以为小姑娘是来借蜡烛的,没想到是送蜡烛的,显然很惊讶。
31.A 是小姑娘的奶奶派她来的,故这里谢谢她和她的奶奶。
32.A 首段提到了他的失败,所以这里选A。
33.B 根据语境可知,汤姆反思的是自己对别人的冷漠与刻薄。apology歉意;coldness冷淡;responsibility责任;concept观念。
34.A 生活中欺骗他的人不是别人而是自己。in reality实际上;in particular尤其;in all共计;in general大体上。根据句意选A。
35.B 他失败的原因是他没有怜悯同情之心。mind心灵,理智,精神;brain大脑;thought思想;idea想法,主意。
【语篇解读】 本文为一篇信息材料题,为我们介绍了五部英语科幻影片。
36.C 信息查找题。因为这四部影片中只有Andromeda strain提到an alien virus,故选C。
37.B 信息查找题。根据第二部电影简介中的“...agents in a top secret agency,and they fight bravely with the alien to...”可知选B。
38.A 事实细节题。根据Harry Potter简介中的第二句可知A正确。
【语篇解读】 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者去古董店修椅子被拒绝后想到一个怪招而顺利解决问题的有趣故事。
39.D 细节理解题。根据文章第一段第三句I didn't think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended.可判断作者进第一家店是去修椅子。
40.C 猜测词义题。根据后文中I know what you want可判断对方已经明白了作者的真正目的。
41.A 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段倒数第二句But I'll mend this for you,shall we say for a five?可判断对方所要价格为£5。
42.D 猜测词义题。根据文章第二段作者认为自己的方法错误,以及下文采取的更为机智的办法可判断approach为“方式,方法”之意。
【语篇解读】 随着经济的发展,我们在感受到生活水平极大提高的同时,也感觉到我们的环境、空气质量日益恶化。所以,节能减排,降低能源消耗及减少环境污染,就纳入了计划范围。本文就介绍了一个控制污染的计划。
43.C 细节理解题。根据文章第五段中的The air quality in a city affects the regions nearby because pollutants(污染物)can travel through the atmosphere可知选C。
44.A 推理判断题。根据文章第九段Studies also show that the visibility (能见度)in eastern regions of China has dropped by 7 to 15 km compared to that in the early 1960s,as a result of air pollution.计算得出。
45.B 主旨大意题。根据第三段第一行,第四段第一行,以及最后一段第一行中的关键词“pollution control program”,“The plan”以及“The new plan”可知,本文是介绍控制空气污染的计划。
【语篇解读】 本文讲述了Robby身世不幸,但他却有很多天赋,他乐于助人,在一个雨天深深地感动了“我”。
46.B 推理判断题。由第五段第三句的he live with us for the summer可知Robby和作者一家整个夏天住在一起,自然Robby会走向作者的家。作者此时并没有收养Robby,所以B项错。最后两项不是直接原因。
47.A 细节理解题。由第四段最后一句a loving nature and a deep admiration for all living things可知Robby热爱自然和万物生灵,这是他的天赋。
48.C 细节理解题。由第六段的It was for emergencies only可知哨子是为紧急情况准备的。
49.D 细节理解题。由第三段和第五段第三句的Robby's aunt eagerly agreed to our request可知Robby的婶婶急于送走Robby。Robby虽然遭遇事故但医生说并没有受伤,故A错。由文章末尾一句Robby说的Mom可知B错。由第六段最后一句的I knew he understood me可知C错。
50.B 主旨大意题。文章前半部分通过举例说明Robby的特别天赋——爱自然,后面几段通过雨中欢景又侧面说明了这一点,因此B项符合。其他三项都是片面的说明。
51.published 52.Emphasis 53.exercise 54.covered 55.average 56.insufficient 57.relationship/connection 58.reduce/decline 59.high 60.common
【参考范文】
Good afternoon,ladies and gentleman!
What is success?It is what everyone is longing for.However,as a person's whole life is concerned,success becomes very complicated.Is fortune success?Is fame success?Is high social status success?No,I don't think so.My opinion on success is very simple:to achieve satisfaction on work and family.
Generally speaking,the aim on getting work is to support life.People who work just for the salary every month either feel tired or bored.Finding a job you like very much is difficult,but not impossible.I can get the feeling of achievement from my work and I feel happy.
Sometimes my friends and I discuss about work and love.In my opinion,it is more difficult to get a happy marriage than to get a good job.The family is very important to me for it will influence my future.So I think one isn't successful if he doesn't have a successful family.
In a word,I think success is to achieve satisfaction on work and family.Thank you very much.

Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
She is widely seen as proof that good looks can last forever.But, at over 500 years of age, time_is_catching_up_with_the_Mona_Lisa.
The health of the famous picture, painted by Leonardo Da Vinci (莱昂纳多·达·芬奇)in 1505, is getting worse by the year, according to the Louvre Museum (卢浮宫博物馆)where it is housed.“The thin, wooden panel on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago,”the museum said.Visitors have noticed the changes but repairing the world's most famous painting is not easy.Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current(现在的) chemical state.
Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year,and many are attracted by the mystery of her smile.“It is very interesting that when you're not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then you look at her and she stops,” said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University.“It's because direct vision(视觉) is excellent at picking up details, but less suited to look at shadows.Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.”
However,the actual history of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile.Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it was eventually sold to France's King Francis Ⅰ in 1169.
In 1911,the painting was stolen from the Louvre by a former employee, who took it out of the museum hidden under his coat.He said he planned to return it to Italy.The painting was sent back to France two years later.
During World War Ⅱ, French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces.
Like many old ladies, the Mona Lisa has some interesting stories to tell.
1. The underlined sentence in the first paragraph means the Mona Lisa________.
A.is losing its value
B.is being damaged after so many years
C.is getting more valuable with years passing
D.will rot away
2.The smile of the Mona Lisa can only be seen________.
A.by indirect vision B.at a distance
C.by direct vision D.in shadows
3.Which of the following is TRUE about Mona Lisa?
A.It was once taken away and hidden up by German forces.
B.Its painter himself loved it greatly and always kept it in a shade.
C.Mona Lisa stops smiling when you look at her wanting to see her smiles.
D.King Francis Ⅰ bought it and then returned it to Italy.
4.It may add to the difficulty in repairing the painting that________.
A.experts haven't noticed changes in its shape as visitors do
B.it is likely to be stolen again when it's under repair
C.it is uncertain which country, Italy or France, should take charge
D.experts aren't sure about the materials and the chemical state of its oil paint
5.From the last paragraph,we can infer that________.
A.many interesting stories have been written about the Mona Lisa
B.people are interested in the stories about the Mona Lisa
C.some mysteries still remain to be solved about the Mona Lisa
D.many more stories will be told about the Mona
Lisa
B
When I started teaching in school,I was sure I would change the world and touch children who needed love.
Although most of my students seemed to respond pretty well to my teaching,there was a small group of teenage girls who became more and more hostile(敌对的) toward me.
One day a fight happened in my classroom.Attempting to end it,I stepped in to face one of these hostile young women,who started hitting me in the face.Two boys jumped up to control the girl,but the damage was done.
While the girl was suspended(暂时停学) for a few days,I was determined that she would not return
to my classroom.But I also prayed.I wanted to see all the students right there in my daily work at school.
On the top of my daily lesson-plan book,I wrote this statement,“To see all the children in my classroom as always beautiful.”It was the first thing I saw each day when I started teaching.With this view I could expect healing in my heart of any anger toward the girl.
After her suspension,she returned to my classroom.The student's young mother was trying to raise six children while her husband was away in the war overseas.The mother and I agreed to work together to help her eldest daughter.
There were no more incidents of anger the rest of the year.In fact,in the seven years I remained at that school,I taught all six of this family's children.When the youngest was in my class,the mother told me,“Our family loves you.Every year one of my kids says,‘I hope I' m in her classroom!’”
The standard of seeing each of my students as perfect was the best teaching tool I had,which led to success in the classroom.
6.At the beginning of teaching,the author ________.
A.was full of confidence in herself
B.doubted if she could be a good teacher
C.was sure to win love from her students
D.decided to change her students' life
7.What happened in the author's class one day?
A.A girl fought with two boys.
B.She was hit by a girl.
C.She hit a girl in the face.
D.She fought with several girls.
8.How was the girl punished?
A.She was sent to another class.
B.She was driven out of school at once.
C.She had to stay at home for a few days.
D.She was beaten heavily by her mother.
9.When the girl returned to school,________.
A.she apologized to the author
B.she took her mother to school
C.the author was still angry with her
D.the author treated her with love
10.It can be inferred from the passage that________.
A.the author got along better with boys
B.the author tried to let the girl come to her class
C.the girl's mother was very thankful to the author
D.all the six kids of the woman are hard to teach

课时作业(十)
Ⅰ.1.previewing 2.terrified 3.furnished 4.brochures
5.numerous 6.astronomy 7.catalogue 8.hooked
9.frying 10.psychology
Ⅱ.1.C 句意:学期开始的时候,老师让学生们提前了解要学习的内容。review回顾,复习,view风景,意见,revision修正,复习,都不符合题意,故选C。
2.D 空格后面的宾语是名词,所以用decided on。句意:你结婚的日子选好了吗?
3.C 答句句意:噢,我本应该去参加昨天迈克的生日聚会的,但我忘了。完整的答语为Well,I should have come to Mike's birthday party yesterday but I forgot it.助动词have不省略。
4.B 题干中he was used to是定语从句修饰主语the country life,所以空格处应为主句的谓语,只有B项正确。
5.A 考查动词短语辨析。apply to 适合。句意:他的诉讼暂时难以判决,因为所有现存的法律没有适用于它的。故选A。
6.A course意为“课程”。句意:他已经报名参加了一门英语课程,我希望他会取得很大进步。故选A。
7.D mean后接不定式和动名词意义不同;mean to do sth.“打算做某事”;mean doing sth.“意味着做某事”,由句意可知,此处须用动名词作宾语。
8.D 句意:我在工作上遇到了问题,真的不知道怎么处理才好。 根据句意,选择D项。
9.B 考查regularly的用法。句意:我的爸爸告诉我要定期把汽车送去检修。此处应用副词,故选B项。
10.A 句意:除了一个立在墙角的书架外,整个房间是空着的。分析句子结构知,主句是“The room is empty.”,except for后接名词、代词或动名词形式,它的后面不可能是一个句子,因此后一个空不可能填谓语动词,所以排除选项C、D;再根据a bookshelf与stand构成逻辑上的主谓关系,且stand这一动作正在发生着,故选项A符合句意。选项B是不定式,表示动作尚未发生,不符合句意。
11.A 句意:有少数人被牵涉其中,可能才20人。as few as常用来强调数量出乎意料地少。根据语境可知A项正确。
12.B 由主句时态看出,从句应表将来,所以C项不对;又因此处不表示已完成的动作,所以A项不对。条件句中不用将来时态,故D项错误。
13.A 句意:这所学校并不是我真正想去读的学校,但我认为我得充分利用它。make the best of充分利用,符合句意。get away from逃脱;keep an eye on监视;catch up with赶上。
14.B to choose from作定语,修饰five pairs,并且与之构成逻辑上的动宾关系。
15.B offer主动提供,furnish装饰,符合句意。supply(大批量)供应;provide提供。
Ⅲ.1.B 推理判断题。根据下文Mona Lisa的历史可推出,这里指的是随着时间的推移,Mona Lisa遭到一些损坏,关键句“...is getting worse by the year...”,因此B项为正确答案。
2.A 细节理解题。关键句“It's because direct vision is excellent at picking up details,but less suited to look at shadows.”因此Mona Lisa的微笑只能indirect vision才能看见。
3.C 细节理解题。关键句“It's very interesting that when you're not looking at her,she seems to be smiling,and then you look at her and she stops.”。
4.D 细节理解题。关键句“Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current chemical state.”这件事将增加他们修复这幅画的困难。
5.C 推理判断题。关键句“...the Mona Lisa has some interesting stories to tell.”,这表明Mona Lisa这幅名画还有很多事情有待我们去探索、发现、解决。
【语篇解读】 要做一名成功的老师,就要对学生充满爱。
6.A 细节理解题。结合第一段可知,作者认为自己可以改变世界,可以感动学生,可见作者对自己充满了信心,故选A项。
7.B 细节理解题。根据第三段的...who started hitting me in the face...可知,作者在劝架时被一个女孩打在了脸上。
8.C 细节理解题。结合第四段的While the girl was suspended for a few days.可知,这个女孩被停课几天,所以选C项。
9.D 细节理解题。根据第五段的最后一句及下文中这个女孩家六个孩子对她的喜爱之情可以看出她对那个女孩以爱心相待,所以选D项。
10.C 推理判断题。作者把这个学生最后教好了,再结合文章倒数第二段可知这个学生的妈妈说她所有小孩都希望在作者的班上,因此可知这个妇女非常感激作者。

Ⅳ.阅读理解
Although I started learning English during my college years,when I entered the States,I only understood two English words “Yes” and “No”.We learned many grammar rules but we could not make the language connections to the real English world.Language frustration worries almost all first generation immigrants.For example,I got a letter from a Chinese-American who has lived in the States for a long time and has a good IT job saying “My 11-year-old girl writes quite well,but as her parents,we could not even read her article.”In addition,my Chinese American professor friend has difficulty reading a novel.Improving our English skills has become a long journey for all of us.Honestly,if I have a chance,I really want to reach out to everyone in the world who has had a similar experience:learning a second language in adulthood.I wish I could encourage them to speak out about the culture shock,frustration they felt about the differences between West and East.
I have mainly focused on my English writing since 2008 after I found “Literacy Volunteers”,an organization that specially focuses on helping immigrants improve their English.I decided to challenge myself,writing a story like an American.I saw many wonderful Americans there.As soon as I met my teacher Alice,I asked her to be my private language tutor and have taken Tims English class.Every week Alice and I have worked on my English essays sentence by sentence.
To observe the culture differences between West and East,occasionally,I posted a few of my English essays online.I mentioned previously about American culture; when people read the same article or even face the same situation,American and Chinese act very differently.In my viewpoint,these differences make America the strongest country in the world.I know you have the right to express your own opinions,but accusing others without proof is not acceptable.
1.The purpose of the passage is________.
A.to show how hard a Chinese-American lives in America
B.to share her experience of improving her English
C.to imply grammar rules are not important
D.to warn Chinese-Americans of English
2.The underlined word “frustration” in the first paragraph means________.
A.failure and setbacks
B.words and problems
C.understanding and progress
D.slang and idioms
3.If the author had a good master of English,________.
A.she would open a school for Chinese-Americans
B.she would like to hear the differences spoken out
C.she could lend a hand to the children for learning
D.she might earn some money by giving advice
4.In the passage,“Literacy Volunteers” is________.
A.only intended to help the Chinese-Americans
B.an organization which is set up to make a profit
C.of great use to people like the author
D.a school showing how to enjoy literature
5.From the last paragraph we can learn that ________.
A.Americans and Chinese are of the same idea about something
B.culture shock only exists between Chinese and Americans
C.accusing others freely can be acceptable in America
D.culture differences have great influence on the people
课时作业(十一)
Ⅰ.1.surprisingly 2.aimless 3.unbeatable 4.heels 5.related 6.universes 7.associate 8.range 9.involved 10.refer
Ⅱ.1.C 句意:这家餐馆变得出名是由于它做的各种各样的食物满足所有人的口味。a wide range of意为“各种各样的”,符合题意。
2.A 句意:正如报道所说,许多人死于那次地震中。As引导的非限制性定语从句,指代后面句子的内容。
3.D be tied with被……捆绑;be associated with与……有关;be bound up with与……密切相关;be involved in牵涉……,忙于……。
4.D “be involved in doing sth.”热衷于做某事。
5.B 考查动词辨析。句意:他刚才谈到的那位移民是我父亲的一位朋友。refer to谈到,提到。
6.B effort努力,make efforts(to do sth.)努力(去做某事)。句意:请继续努力,我确信你正在付出的努力将会有所收获。effect影响;decision决定;impression印象。
7.C disappear消失;fall落下;damage毁坏,破坏;fail失败,衰弱,下降。此处指视力下降。句意:威廉姆发现阅读越来越困难了,因为他的视力开始下降了。故选C。
8.C when it comes to sth.意为“当提到……”。
9.B 考查非谓语动词。根据固定结构somebody seems/seemed to do/to have done等同于It seems/seemed that somebody did/does/has done,本句主体时态用一般过去时,说明事情已经发生,所以用不定式的完成式。
10.C 考查虚拟语气。本题关键是要抓住“demand”,它在表示“坚持,命令,要求,建议”的名词性从句时,从句要用somebody should do,should可以省略。
11.B 考查倒装。当so...that结构中,so位于句首时,句子用倒装语序,即so+adj./adv.+助动词+主语+that从句。
12.B 由“his temper and his health”可以排除D项,由后面的never表否定,可知选either,never...either是全部否定,相当于neither。
13.B 句意:公众缺少环保的习惯被认为是全球气候变化的主要原因。result结果;cause原因,起因;warning提醒,警告;reflection反射,反映。
14.D various作定语修饰things,故选D。
15.D link连接,联系;relate联系;connect连接;combine结合,联系,指把两个或两个以上不同的东西结合起来。本题指把养育孩子和工作结合起来,因此D项正确。
Ⅲ.【语篇解读】 在美国,所有的孩子都要接受教育,但不少父母选择让孩子在家接受教育。的确,在家接受教育有很多优势,但并不是所有家庭的孩子都适合在家接受教育。
1.B 根据下文Such children are known__2__“homeschoolers”.可知有一部分家长不愿将孩子送去学校,故选B。
2.C 固定搭配be known as被称为。
3.A 由文章内容可知,一些家长宁愿在家教育孩子,因为(because)他们不相信学校教的宗教价值观是正确的。
4.D 正确的宗教价值观(values),符合语境。
5.A 还有一些家长相信他们可以为孩子提供更好的教育体验(experience)。
6.B actually事实上,符合语境。sadly伤心地;unbelievably难以置信地;happily高兴地,均不符合语境。
7.D 第一段最后一句意为研究结果显示在家接受教育的孩子在阅读和数学方面常高出平均水平(average)。
8.B 句意:他说(says)他的孩子与在学校的孩子所学的东西大不相同。故选B。
9.A 在家学习通常是由孩子的兴趣(interests)和提问开始的。
10.D 由上文Learning starts with可知选D。
11.B snow removal equipment除雪设备,符合语境。
12.C watch the stars固定搭配。
13.D could在此表示可能性。
14.B 此句意为沙漠是怎样形成(formed)的。
15.A 极地冰冠是如何影响(affect)海平面的。
16.D 最后一段第一句意为在家教育常比通常的(regular)学校有趣得多。
17.C be uncomfortable doing sth.做某事感到不自在。此处是说在家学习的孩子成人后与其他人在一块时可能会觉得不自在。
18.A 最后一段第二句意为批评家还认为大多数家长并不适合(fit)教育孩子,故A项正确。
19.B 句意为大多数家长没有时间也没有意愿(desire)要在家教育孩子。
20.D 所以学校将继续成为大多数孩子接受正规教育的地方(where)。此处where引导一个表语从句,且在从句中作地点状语。
Ⅳ.【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。作者虽然在大学期间学了几年英语,但由于没有注重口语,以至于到了美国发现只能听懂“Yes”和“No”。类似的情况还发生在很多移民到美国的中国人身上。
1.B 主旨大意题。作者在文中简述了初到美国时自己的英语水平以及她如何提高自己的英语水平,故B符合题意。
2.A 词义猜测题。根据该词前面的句子可知,作者初到美国在语言方面有障碍,这类问题发生在很多移民身上,由此推断他们在语言方面受到了挫折,故选A。
3.B 细节理解题。在第一段的尾句,作者用了I wish I could...的虚拟语气结构,表明如果有能力,她愿意……故B与该句意义相符。
4.C 细节理解题。根据文章第二段的that specially focuses on helping immigrants improve their English可知,该组织是为了帮助移民提高英语水平,因为作者是移民,故C正确。
5.D 推理判断题。在尾段中,作者讲述了中美文化的差异,正是这种差异使美国成为一个强国,由此推断对国民有着重大的影响,故选D。误解分析:文化差异不仅仅只影响中美的国民,故排出B;根据最后一段的内容,排除A项;作者讲到没有证据的指控他人是不可接受的,故排除C项。

Period ⅡWelcome to the unit & Reading
1.Students studying engineering often have to make models.(P49)
学习工程学的学生经常不得不制作模型。
句中studying engineering为现在分词作定语,修饰主语students。
This is a very charming village.
这是一座迷人的村庄。
There is a door leading to the garden.
有一座门通往花园。
①单个的现在分词作定语时,它总是位于被修饰的名词之前,说明被修饰名词的性质或特征等。但如果是现在分词短语作定语,则总是位于所修饰的名词之后。
②现在分词的被动式一般都不能用作前置定语,只能作后置定语。
③现在分词作定语时,表示动作正在进行或与谓语动词所表示的动作几乎同时发生,或表示某个经常性的动作或状态。如果定语的动作发生在主句之前,一般不能用现在分词形式作定语,而要用定语从句,如果定语的动作发生在主句之后常用定语从句或不定式表示。
  The house being painted will be completed next week.
正在被粉刷的房子将在下周完成。
(误)The man coming here yesterday will give us a talk.
(正)The man who came here yesterday will give us a talk.
昨天来的那个人将给我们作个报告。
【提示】 过去分词,现在分词的被动式与不定式的被动式都可作定语,其区别主要体现在动作发生的时间上。
①过去分词表示的动作或是在谓语所表示的动作之前发生,或是没有一定的时间性。
②现在分词的被动式作定语时,表示的动作正在发生或是与谓语动词所表示的动作同时发生。
③不定式的被动式作定语时,表示一个未来的动作。
【对接高考】
(2013·辽宁高考)Laura was away in Paris for over a week.When she got home,there was a pile of mail
for her.
A.waited       B.to wait
C.waiting D.was waiting
【解析】 句意:劳拉去了巴黎一个多星期。当她到家时,有一堆邮件正等着她。分析句子结构可知,空格处用作后置定语修饰mail,因为mail与wait之间为主动关系,且wait的动作不是发生在将来,故不用不定式而用现在分词结构。D项若改为which/that was waiting也正确,这样可构成定语从句修饰mail,但是作为从句主语的关系代词不可省去。

【答案】 1.直接;特殊 2.历史;传说;文学作品

典故(Allusion)
典故与汉语的暗引相近似。其特点是不注明来源和出处,一般多引用人们熟知的关键词或词组,将其融合编织在作者的话语中。引用的东西包括典故、谚语、成语、格言和俗语等。英语引用最多的是源出《圣经》故事以及希腊、罗马神话、《伊索寓言》的那些源远流长的谚语、格言等。
英语国家的文化源远流长,浓郁的文化背景留下了许多脍炙人口的习语典故,它们有些来自历史故事,有些来自神话故事,有些来自民间传说,有些来自《圣经》故事。以下分为五类简述:
一、来源于历史故事
1.为什么含有Dutch(荷兰佬)的短语均带有贬义色彩呢?例如:Dutch courage(酒后之勇),Dutch leave(擅离职守,不辞而别),go Dutch/Dutch treat(各自付账),以及Dutch uncle(严厉的批评者)等。十七世纪,英国与荷兰争夺制海权的斗争空前激烈,英国人民由于民族感情高涨而在国内开始用荷兰人(Dutch)来指代“坏的、假的、错的事情”,之后便流传开来,并沿用至今。
2.worth one's salt(称职),古罗马时,盐相当珍贵,从盐矿向罗马运盐的路就是最重要的道路之一,士兵沿此路驻扎以防盐贼,士兵的工资也以盐来支付,由此产生了英语单词salary,所以worth one's salt=worth one's pay(称职)。
3.cut and run(急忙退避不利形势)。英国古时航海,海上的船只如果遇到了紧急情况,例如突如其来的风暴或者强大的敌舰,船长急于躲避灭顶之灾,往往不会像平常那样起锚,而会叫艇员砍断锚链,尽快逃走。后来便用“砍断并逃走”来指代“急忙退避不利形势”。
二、来源于神话故事
1.rain cats and dogs(下倾盆大雨)。源于北欧神话,神话中说猫对天气有很大影响,英国水手至今还流传着“猫尾巴藏大风”的说法。据说驾风暴的巫士化为猫形,狗和狼都是暴风雨神奥丁的随从。在德国古画中猫被当作暴雨的象征,狗是伴随暴雨的强风。现在人们用rain cats and dogs表示下倾盆大雨。
2.Trojan horse(特洛伊木马,指代用以使敌人或对手上当,误以为于己方有益的破坏性的事物或人)。源于希腊神话,特洛伊战争中,希腊人为了攻打特洛伊城,造了一匹巨大的木马,其中藏有希腊士兵。他们故意装出弃马而逃的样子,特洛伊人将木马作为战利品请进城。半夜,士兵们从木马内爬出,将城中的人杀死。特洛伊终于陷落。
3.apple of discord(不和的苹果,指代争端、祸根)。源于希腊神话,佩琉斯(Peleus)和忒提斯(Thetis)举行婚礼时忘记了邀请不和女神厄里斯(Eris)。这位女神大为恼火,留下一个刻有“献给最美者”的金苹果,引起了雅典娜,赫拉和芙罗狄忒三者之间的战争,此事是特洛伊战争的导火线。
三、来源于作品故事
1.pound of flesh(形容以借款人的惨重损失和痛苦为代价的债务,也可以说是合法却极不合理的要求)。源于莎士比亚作品《威尼斯商人》,一个痛恨Antonio(作品中的人物)的商人答应借给他一大笔钱,但条件是如果他不能按时还清就要割下他身上的一磅肉。Antonio果然中了高利贷商人的奸计没能按期偿还。那奸商便告上法庭,名正言顺要割他的肉。
2.pie in the sky(天上掉下来的馅饼)。源自美国流行作曲家、世界产业联盟的组织者Joe Hill于1911年所作的一首著名歌曲《传教士与奴隶》。他在歌曲中写到:
You will eat,bye and bye,
In the glorious land above the sky!
Work and pray,live on hay,
You'll get PIE IN THE SKY when you die!
这几句歌词是Joe Hill从美国救世军军歌中引用过来的,意在讽刺这个宗教组织,揭露其欺骗性和虚伪性,唤醒广大被压迫的奴隶,后来人们就用pie in the sky比喻不能实现的事情或东西。
四、来源于《圣经》
1.doubting Thomas(怀疑的托马斯,指那些不肯轻易相信别人的人)。源自《圣经·新约·约翰福音》第20章,该篇讲到耶稣复活后出现在众人面前,十二门徒之一的托马斯没有亲眼见到,声称除非看到耶稣手上的钉痕,否则不信他已经复活。后来人们用“doubting Thomas”指那些不肯轻易相信别人的人。
2.feet of clay(泥足,致命的弱点)。典出《圣经·旧约·但以理书》第二章,巴比伦国王尼布甲尼撒(Nebuchadnezzar)梦到一泥足巨人,头是金的,胸臂是银的,腹部是铜的,被飞来的一块巨石砸碎了脚,整个巨人顿时瓦解。西伯来先知但以理(但以理为人名)释梦称这预示着国家的分裂。现多指“伟人不为人知的弱点或致命的弱点”。
五、来源于现实生活
  Mother Teresa(乐善好施、无私地服务于他人的人)泰瑞莎修女是世界敬重的天主教慈善工作者,主要为印度加尔各答的穷人服务。

写一篇调查报告
针对某一现象、某一事件或某一问题进行深入细致调查后写一份调查报告,它要求根据调查结果,针对某种现象进行分析并谈谈自己的看法。
一、策略指导与解题技巧
1.应该站在读者的角度去思考。
2.要写明调查的原因、调查过程、调查结果以及你得出的结论。
3. 通常用一般现在时态。若出现具体的时间状语,如last year,next year,recently等,则根据具体使用适当的时态。
4.常见的写作方法:
①按调查的先后顺序逐点写;②按事物发展的阶段来写;③按调查对象的特点分门别类来写。④将两种事物进行对比,以显示其是非、优劣,找出其差异来写。
注意:叙述数据时要避免过多重复使用百分比,可以用约数、倍数等来表达。应选用有针对性的数据来说明问题,切忌面面俱到,一一罗列全部数据。应该对图表信息加以分析、归纳,选取有代表性的,如最大值,最小值,以及同类信息加以表述,做到主次分明、准确生动。
二、文章结构:
  一般说来,文章开头应先交代调查的时间、对象、问题和主题或目的。其次,客观介绍调查的信息。根据不同的调查内容,选择不同的方法。一般是描述表格中数据所反映的情况,数据间的主要差异或趋势,有的还要求谈谈数据所反映出来的问题,并分析原因。最后,写出自己的观点或提出解决该问题的方案。
注意:在进行客观介绍这一部分时,应尽量避免过多使用同一种句式。其次,要学会从题目中提取信息。
[题目要求]

Studies show that the way most of us spend our mornings is exactly opposite to the conditions that experts tell us to promote open-minded thinking.Take hurried wake-up for example;in a study,researchers reported that imaginative (富于想象的) ideas are most likely to come to us when we're powerless and not focused.The brain conditions are at their weakest in these moments,allowing unexpected connections to be made.Sleepy people's “more outward moving thinking”leads them to “widen their search” which leads to an increase in creative problem solving.By not giving yourself time to adjust your absent mind,you're missing the surprising solutions it may offer.
The stress hormone(荷尔蒙) can harm certain physical parts that coat our brain cells.Damage to these parts slows down the speed with which signals are transported,making lightningquick “Find it!” moments less likely.A recent study found that subjects (被试者) who watched a sorrow-making video were less able to solve problems creatively than people who watched an upward video.A positive mood,wrote professor Ruby Nadler,increases “adaptability of recognition” while a negative one narrows our scope.
So what should we do in mornings?We'd set the alarm a few minutes early and lie awake in bed,following our thoughts where they lead and writing down any creative thought.
And once in the office,one of the right things to do is drink coffee.Caffeine(咖啡因) not only makes us more alert,but also increases the brain's level of positive hormone,which influences feelings of motivation and reward when we hit on a great idea.After we get that cup of coffee,we'd direct our computer browser not to the news of the day but to the funniest videos the web offers.Now there's YouTube-video of laughing resources.Laughing is a good way to start the day.
36.We can infer from Paragraph 1 that most people may ________ in mornings.
A.rush to make themselves awakening
B.promote open-minded thinking
C.do as experts tell them to do
D.try to solve problems creatively
37.In Paragraph 2 the author tells us that________.
A.the stress hormone is a kind of skin
B.the stress hormone coats our brain cells
C.sorrow-making videos are less capable than upward videos
D.the stress hormone may damage certain physical parts
38.What might as well we do in the morning?
A.To set the alarm a few minutes earlier than working time.
B.To lie awake in bed.
C.To note the good idea that occurs to us while in bed.
D.To lead to where creative thought exists.
B
You've been waiting an hour to eat breakfast but your guests are still snoozing.
“Unless you corrdinated(调整)a time for breakfast the evening before,let your guests sleep-in and enjoy your breakfast without them.If possible,keep their breakfast warm,or,better yet,when entertaining it's always a good idea to have cold breakfast (as well as lunch,dinner and snack)food on-hand.”
You're hosting out-of-town friends for a couple of weeks.The husband is vegetarian (素食者) and the wife is a picky eater.Cooking for them is proving to be a strain on your budget and your nerves.
“As a gracious host,you want to make sure and accommodate your guest's dietary needs,especially when they are related to health issues.Make an attempt to offer at least one dish based on his or her preferences.Those with special dietary needs are usually familiar with eating creatively.But if your guests get too picky or demanding,it is not necessary to break the bank.You can say ‘If you would provide the ingredients,I would be happy to follow the recipe’.”
Your guest's teenage son is a Facehook addict and hogs your computer all day long.
“If you have a guest whose fingers are fixated on your keyboard,kindly let him know that you are expecting work e-mail and give him enough time to finish using it.”
Your visitors don't have a car and demand that you drive them everywhere.
“If you've invited them,then you should at least offer to pick them up and return them to the airport.But draw the line there.It's time to remove your chauffeur's hat.If you have a second car not in use,you could offer them the keys after you confirm they are insured.Or,keep the chauffeur's hat on and offer to drive them to the nearest rental car agency due to their busy schedule.”
39.What's the best title of this passage?
A.How to deal with difficult house guests.
B.How to host an out-of-town friend.
C.How to rent a car when you're free.
D.How to wait your guests to eat breakfast.
40.When you have been waiting an hour to have breakfast while your guests are still sleeping,you can________.
A.coordinate a time for breakfast from then on
B.go into the guests' room and wake them up
C.just enjoy your breakfast without them that day
D.keep their breakfast warm and enjoy your meal
41.If your friend is a picky eater,then you can________.

By the middle of the 19th century,newspapers had become the primary means of providing and receiving information.The time between 1890 and 1920 is known as the “golden age”of the print media.
The radio broadcast was widely used in the 1920's.Newspapers had to reevaluate their part as the primary information provider.Like the new media technology of today,the development of a low-cost and convenient media source produced results that radio would greatly affect the newspaper industry.In order to change this situation,editors spent a lot of time on the new design and at the same time more information and stories were added to newspapers.
Hardly had newspapers adapted to radio when they began to reevaluate themselves because of a new and more powerful medium: television.Television became popular for the colorful pictures in it.Between 1940 and 1990,the sale of newspapers in America dropped from one newspaper for every two adults to one for every four adults.Some newspapers,like USA Today,started to use the short and quick stories that are usually featured on television.
The technological development of today is creating new challenges and opportunities for traditional media.More and more websites are added to the Internet and almost any information can be found.The amount and rapidity of information on the Internet can be matchless,but it doesn't mean the end of the newspaper's existence.Newspapers in print remain a popular and powerful medium for the reporting.Thousands of people in the world read a newspaper every day!
43.Radio had a great influence on the newspaper industry because________.
A.it was cheaper and easier to receive information from radio
B.many people were too poor to buy newspapers in the 1920's
C.nobody supported the development of the newspaper industry

44.USA Today is mentioned as an example to tell us________.
A.it was a famous newspaper then
B.it had the most information at that time
C.some newspapers use some advantages of television
D.television is a major means of media in the world
45.We can learn from this passage that________.
A.newspapers still play an important part in our life
B.the “golden age” of the print media is in the 1920's
C.radio took the place of newspapers completely in the 1920's
D.newspapers can never catch up with the modern means or media

Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours(绕行路) in life than by the narrow road toward goals.I like this image.But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.
For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents' home in Boise in nine hours.We traveled the way most people do: the fastest,shortest,easiest road,especially when I was alone with four noisy,restless kids who hate confinement(限制) and have strong opinions about everything.
Road trips felt risky,so I would drive fast,stopping only when I had to.We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.
But then Banner,our lamb was born.He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise.I had two choices:leave Banner with my husband,or take him with me.My husband made the decision for me.
That is how I found myself on the road with four kids,a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through.We took the country roads out of necessity.We had to stop every hour,let Banner shake out his legs and feed him.The kids chased him and one another.They'd get back in the car breathless and energized,smelling fresh from the cold air.
We explored side roads,catching grasshoppers in waist-high grass.Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother,or fish leaping out of the water,it was better than the best ride down the freeway.Here was life.And new horizons (见识).
We eventually arrived at my parents' doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories.
I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique.On an empty section of road,everyone started quarreling.I stopped the car,ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead.I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.
Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight.But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of a journey—and the best part of yourself.
46.Why did the author use to take freeways to her parents' home?
A.It was less tiring.
B.It would be faster and safer.
C.Her kids would feel less confined.
D.She felt better with other drivers nearby.
47.The author stopped regularly on the country roads to ________.
A.relax in the fresh air
B.take a deep breath
C.take care of the lamb
D.let the kids play with Banner
48.What does the author discover from the trip according to Paragraph 6?
A.Freeways are where beauty hides.
B.Getting close to nature adds to the joy of life.
C.Enjoying the beauty of nature benefits one's health.
D.One should follow side roads to watch wild animals.
49.Why did the author ask the kids to get out of the car on their way back home?
A.To give herself some time to read.
B.To order some food for them.
C.To play a game with them.
D.To let them cool down.
50.What could be the best title for the passage?
A.Charm of the Detour

Ⅳ.任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
(2013·扬州中学高三模拟)When I opened my e-mail the other day,a pretty woman named Rachel appeared on my computer screen.She greeted me by name and started talking enthusiastically.Every now and then she stopped to smile at me or blow a kiss.She was reading to me an e-mail from my brother,and a lot of it was about his getting the phone company to give him a high-speed Internet connection.It was pretty cool.
Rachel was there thanks to a new technology called Facemail.Facemail lets you send e-mails that can be read to the receiver by an attractive male or female form or by a clown.The software,which is free,can be downloaded at www.Facemail.com.
Facemail faces are lifelike,and they copy emotions based on the ones that you put in your text.For example,type in X,and Rachel blows a kiss.
Life FX,the company that develops the Facemail is sure there are broad business uses.The reason e-business is not popular,the company says,is that buying over the Internet lacks the human touch.But what if you went to the Nike website and Michael Jordan greeted you by name,waited on you and personally closed the sale?And the company is talking with Whirlpool about using the technology in a computer screen on a fridge.Then if Mom can't be home when the kids get back from school,she can leave a note with voice and image telling them what there is to eat.
Facemail could get hot fast.Personally,I'm a fan.But Facemail should be used with words in an e-mail and add angry emotions when you've got a psycho-mail.
Title:A New Technology on Facemail

综合检测(四)
1.C 考查有关动词在语意和使用上的区别。句意:——你怎么没买黄油?——我打算买但是忘记了。mean的过去式为meant,在此处意为“打算”。
2.B 四个动词短语的主要含义:carry on“继续”;feed on“吃,以……为食”;put on“上演,穿/戴上”;focus on“聚焦于”。句意:蝴蝶以花卉产生的一种甜甜的液体为食,蜜蜂和别的昆虫则采集这种液体。根据句意选B,表示“吃,以……为食”。
3.A 本题含有“leave+宾语+宾补”结构,分词和不定式都可作该结构的补语;根据句意知此处应为“使某人感到不满意的”,故应用过去分词形式的形容词unsatisfied作补语。
4.B 考查时态。根据句意,“告诉”这一动作还未发生,应用一般将来时。D项是be to do sth.结构,表示按照计划安排要发生的事,不合语境。
5.A 考查as引导的方式状语从句。as连接方式状语从句时表示“正如……”。
6.B 句意:为了确保博物馆里的文物保存完好,西藏文化保护协会采用了现代技术来监测文物的情况。apply运用,使用;adapt使适应,改编;appoint任命,指定,约定;abolish废止,革除。
7.C 考查regular用作形容词作定语的用法。句意:护士每隔一定的时间给这个病人量血压。故选C。
8.A 句意:在伦敦一些地方,错过一辆车就意味着再等一小时。mean doing sth.“意味着什么”;mean to do sth.“打算做什么”。
9.B as为关系代词,引导一个非限制性定语从句,指代主句整个内容。若用it,则:It is known to everybody that she is...。
10.B take up“开始从事”。句意:为了放松一下,他最近开始下象棋。take on“穿上,呈现”;hold on“握住”;hold up“阻碍”。
11.B 句意:——我收到的这件T恤衫和网页上展示的不一样。——怎么会呢?不过我向您保证我们会立刻查清楚的。Who says谁说的;How come怎么会(表达说话人的惊讶之情);What for为什么;Why worry为什么担心。这段对话是关于网购的,发生在买家和客服之间,根据答语中的But可知客服对于买家反映的情况表示惊讶,但还是承诺会查清楚。
12.C 考查非谓语动词。句意:车内安装了显示确切位置的电子地图后,司机就可以朝正确的目的地方向行驶了。fixed in the car 与 showing the exact position 都是宾语补足语,修饰 the electric map。the electric map与 fix 是被动关系;the electric map与showing the exact position 之间是主动关系。
13.B 句意:我们想说些什么,但是她不听任何解释。however在此用作副词。
14.A furnish...with...用……装备……,符合句意。instructs“引导”;admits“承认”;quits“放弃”,均不合句意。
15.C 考查让步状语从句。句意:无论他回来的有多晚,他母亲都是等着他一块吃晚饭。however作连词,引导让步状语从句。

【参考范文】 
As_can_be_seen_in_the_cartoon,the young couple educate their child in_different_ways.Father educates their child with a ruler but Mother with a bar of chocolate.What is illustrated in the picture is that Father is too hard on their child while Mother spoils him.They adopt strikingly inconsistent methods,which makes their child confused.
I subscribe to neither of their education methods.If we always give children severe punishment,they will become nervous and lack self-confidence or become violent and aggressive,following in the father's footsteps.If we always love children too much,they will turn out to be self-centered and dependent,tending to do whatever they want to.
So far as I am concerned,it is better to use appropriate methods based on children's individual personalities.Since praise and criticism both play vital roles in children's education,it is essential that parents should try to maintain the balance between love and strictness.Only in this way can children benefit from proper family education and achieve all-round development.
