【题干】阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
Two things I did may have caused people 41 (think) that something is wrong with me. The first was when my wife asked me to have the sitting room clock 42 (repair).l drove into the market place of our little town and, clock under arm, entered a shop. Only it was the meat shop. 43 my thoughts far away, l stood staring into the shopkeeper's eyes. I 44 (be) his customer for a long time and the good man smiled at me.
This went on for several very long seconds before I realized where I was. There is no doubt that I should have calmly bought a pound of meat, 45 I merely nodded briefly and left.
The other man in my town who probably thinks I am mad is Mr. Smith. Some years ago he was manager of Mead's Shop, and he and I knew each other quite well. One day, he 46 ( stand)in the doorway of his shop when I passed. My brain was on some distant problem and my eyes stared into space.
"Hello, Mr. Herriot," I heard his voice. I turned a blank gaze on him-I just had no idea 47 he was though his face was familiar. Then I saw the word "MEAD" in foot-high letters above the shop window.
"Good morning, Mead," I cried 48 (hearty) and continued my way. I had gone only a few steps before I realized that my greeting had been 49 (polite). I turned back and said to him again, "Good morning, Mister Mead."
It was only when I had turned the comer of the street that I realized, too late, 50 his name was Tony and the time was late afternoon.
【答案】41.to think 42.Repaired 43.With 44.had been 45.but 46.was standing 47.who
48.heartily 49.impolite 50.that
【解析】◎语篇解读本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者所做的让人费解的两件事。
41.考查非谓语动词。cause sb. to do sth.引起某人做某事,固定短语。
42.考查非谓语动词。因为clock和repair之间存在被动关系,故用过去分词作宾补。have sth. done使某事被做。
43.考查介词。With my thoughts far away是with的复合结构,在句中作伴随状语。
44.考查动词时态。由时间状语for a long time以及smiled可知,此处应用过去完成时。
45.考查连词。由前后句子之间的逻辑关系可知,此处应用转折连词but。
46.考查动词时态。由时间状语从句when I passed可知,此处应表示“正站着”。
47.考查引导词。我不知道他是“谁”。
48.考查词性转换。因为修饰动词cried,故用副词。
49.考查形容词词义。由下旬I turned back and said to him again可知,设空处指的是“不礼貌的”。
50.考查引导词。that引导宾语从句,因为从句不缺成分且意思完整,故用that。
短文改错
【题干】假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误,每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。
增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧),并在其下面写出该加的词。
删除:把多余的词用斜线(\)划掉。
修改:在错的词下画一横线,并在该词下面写出修改后的词。
注意:1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词;

Snow came a bit later this year than usually. After school, we took a bus to go back home in noon. On the way, we were attracted by the amazing scenery-trees, houses, and even cars were covered with purely white snow. How desperately we want to play in the snow! However, when we got off the bus, we immediately ran to a square nearby to enjoy the very spirts what the snow brought us. Despite the cold weather, we had a great fun playing with the snow. Many passer-by watched us laughing and playing, with smiles on his faces. Occupying with our study every day, we would like to regard it a refreshing experience for us all.
【解析】第一句usually—usual 考查短语用法。此处than usual意为:比平时。
第二句in—at考查介词的用法。“在中午”应是at noon。
第四句want—wanted考查时态。根据全文可知用一般过去时。
第五句However—Therefore考查句子的逻辑关系,根据文意这里是顺接关系。
第五句what-that考查定语从句的关系词。此处spirits是先行词,在定语从句中作brought的宾语。
第六句去掉a考查冠词的用法。fun是不可数名词,前面不用不定冠词。
第七句passer-by—passers-by考查名词的复数形式。根据前面的many可知用复数。
第七句his—their考查代词指代一致。根据文意此处指的是passers-by的脸,所以用their。
第八句Occupying—Occupied 考查非谓语动词的用法。此处be occupied with意为:忙于……,逻辑主语是we,与主句相同,所以省略。
第八句it后加as考查短语的用法。解题关键:regard...as...。

【解析】◎语篇解读本文为一篇记叙文。文章讲述了在庆功会上,朋友跟“我”讲述的有关Arthur Scoresby这个幸运的军事领袖的有趣故事。
21句意:坐在我旁边的一位老友眼神中流露出“奇怪的”表情。A项意为“担心的,担忧的”;B项意为“贪婪的”;C项意为“好奇的”;D项意为“奇怪的”。根据下文内容可知,他认为Arthur Scoresby只不过是一个幸运的傻瓜,所以当他看到Arthur Scoresby接受如此高的荣誉时,应该是感到“奇怪”。
22.句意:他靠近我并低声说:“在我看来他只不过是个幸运的傻瓜而已。”A项意为“快乐地,幸福地”;B项意为“幸运地”;D项意为“逐渐地”。privately本意为“私下地,私人地”,在此译作“在我看来,就我个人观点而言”。
23.句意:他的这些话令我很“震惊”。根据文章第一句内容可知,“我”对Arthur Scoresby充满崇拜,所以当“我”听到朋友对Arthur Scoresby作出这样的评价时,应该是“震惊”。
24.句意:多年前我(作者的朋友)是Woolwich军事学校的一名教员,当时年轻的Arthur Scoresby参加了他的第一次“考试”。根据下文中的“He got through the examination.”可知答案选B。
25.句意:每个人的回答都不错,“然而”他(Arthur Scoresby)却什么也不会。while符合句意。
26.句意:我同情他,并只问我认为他可能知道的东西。what引导的为宾语从句,且在从句中作宾语,I thought为插入语。
27.句意:我认为最后“毁掉”他的一定会是数学考试。A项意为“破坏,毁灭”;B项意为“使确信,相信”;C项意为“激发”;D项意为“鼓舞,鼓励”。根据句意可知,destroy符合语境。
28.句意:但是,努力想象考试的“结果”。根据下文中的“such strange,laughable results”可知,“我”的朋友讲述的是考试的“结果(成绩)”。
29.句意:由于某些“幸运的”巧合,他居然得了第一名。根据上文中的“he is a fool and yet a lucky dog”可知,应用lucky一词。
30.句意:我从来没想到会导致这样奇怪的、可笑的结果。A项意为“适应……”;B项意为“属于”;C项意为“参考,涉及,指的是”;D项意为“导致”。
31.句意:后来,克莱米亚战争爆发了,他被任命为军官。但“没有人”知道这个秘密。根据文章内容可知,人们都认为Arthur Scoresby是个出色的将军,“没有人”知道他是个傻瓜的这个秘密。
32.句意:人们把他每次所犯的错误看作是天才的表现。A项意为“无私”;B项意为“智力,聪明”;C项意为“重要”;D项意为“诚实”。
33.句意:战争变得越来越激烈,在整个战场上英国军队正逐渐撤退。我们团“占据”一个非常重要的位置(据点)。A项意为“占领,占据”;B项意为“放弃”;C项意为“预测”;D项意为“证实,证明”。根据语境可知,我们当时应该是“占据”着那个据点。
34.句意:任何一个错误都会导致全部的“失败(灾难)”。A项意为“革命”;B项意为“机会”;C项意为“灾难”;D项意为“压力”。disaster符合句意。
35.句意:上峰发出命令让他撤退去援助我们的右翼。“但是”他却前进,翻过山脉去了我们的左翼方向。根据上下句内容可知,要用instead。
36.句意:一支庞大的、“没有预料到的”俄国军队正等候在那里。A项意为“官方的,正式的”;B项意为“自信的”;C项意为“普通的,平常的”;D项意为“没有预料到的,出乎意料的”。Arthur Scoresby带领军队冲到那里,没有想到那里会有敌人的军队。
37.句意:这些吃惊的俄国军队没有想到单独一个团会在这个时候“出现”在这里,认为这一定是全部的英国军队。come around意为“到处走动,来访,出现”。根据语境可知,俄国军队没有想到英国军队会“出现”在这里。
38.句意:他们仓皇逃窜了。根据文章内容可知,俄国军队没有想到英国军队会来,认为是全部的英国军队前来进攻。所以他们就“混乱”地撤离了。
39.句意:英国军队把失败变成了一个全面的“胜利”。与“defeat(失败)”对应的应该是“victor(胜利)”。
40.句意:那天以后,Arthur Scoresby就作为一个出色的军事“领袖”闻名世界了。A项意为“运动员”;B项意为“士兵”;C项意为“讲师”;D项意为“领袖,领导”。根据文章第一句“...when I saw the famous general Arthur Scoresby...”以及第三段中的“He was appointed an officer.”可知,他是一名“领袖”。

【题干】 A
Americans get some of their news and entertainment from public television and radio. These public media receive money to operate from private citizens, organizations and the government. Many of their programs are educational. But most of the American media are run by businesses for profit. These privately owned media have changed greatly in recent years. Newspapers, magazines and traditional broadcast television organizations have lost some of their popularity. At the same time, online, cable and satellite media have increased in number and strength. So have media that serve racial groups and those communicating in foreign languages.
In general, more media than ever now provide Americans with news and entertainment. At the same time, fewer owners control them. Huge companies have many holdings(股份).In some areas, one company controls much of the media. One dramatic change in American media is the increased success of cable television. It comes into most homes over wires. It does not use the public airwaves to present programs, as broadcast television does, Like broadcast television, most cable television programs perform advertisements. This is true although people must pay to see cable television in their homes. Thirty years ago, few people had cable. Today, about sixty-eight percent of American homes have cable television. Television by satellite is also gaining popularity.
Over the years, traditional broadcast organizations have tried to appeal to as many watchers as possible. Many cable companies, however, present programs for one special group of viewers. For example, there are cable stations for people who like books, cooking, travel, golf or comedy.
l. Which of the following is TRUE about American public media
A. They depend on the government.
B. They are controlled by the government.
C. They are free.
D. They can earn money.
2. Which of the following properly shows the change in these privately owned media
A. Newspapers are getting more popular.
B. Satellite media are getting more popular.
C. Traditional media also serve racial groups.
D. Some media make their programs in foreign languages.
3. From the second paragraph, we learn that__________.
A. broadcast TV and cable TV programs include sales messages
B. more media are out of control
C. American media are dramatic
D. cable TV is free
4. The underlined word "airwaves" in Paragraph 2 could be best replaced by"_________"
A. TV channels B. TV stations
C. radio stations D. satellite media
【答案】1.D 2.B 3.A 4.A
【解析】◎语篇解读本文主要说明美国媒体的发展变化。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段中的“These public media recelve money..."与“But most of the American media are run by businesses for profit.”判断,美国大众媒体是赚钱的。
2.细节理解题。第一段“At the same time,online,cable and satellite media have increased in number and strength.”和第二段“Television by satellite is also gaining popularity.”可知答案。
3.推理判断题。由第二段“Like broadcast television,most cable television programs perform advertisements:”可知。
4.词义猜测题。根据第二段“present programs”与“as broadcast television does”判断,airwave意为“波段,频道”。
【题干】 B
Finally, I entered the university. Because of my careful savings, I did not have to work during the school years. Then, summer came and it was time to work harder than ever. I continued working as a waitress at night, instructed tennis camps several mornings a week and worked as a secretary for a few hours in the afternoons. I even decided to take a class at a community (社区) college. This class at the community college saved me $ 650.1t was an extremely tiring summer and made me anxious to return to my relatively easy life at the university.
During my second and third years of undergraduate schooling, I decided to work about five hours per week in the campus (校园)admissions office answering phones. This provided a little spending money and kept me from draining my savings. The overall situation looked hopeful as I approached my senior year as long as I could make as much money as I had the previous summer. i wanted to go to Israel to study for 3 weeks, but I hesitated in making this decision because it would cost me $1,600 more to get the credits in Israel. About two weeks later my mom called to tell me that I had $1,600 in the bank that I had forgotten about! One of my concerns about this trip was not only the cost, but the loss of time to make money; however, I made money as much that summer in the ten weeks when I was at home as I had earned during the fourteen weeks when I was at home the summer before. The way everything worked together to make this trip possible was one of the most exciting things that have ever happened to me.
This experience has shaped me in many important ways. The first thing that I learned was the importance of a strong work ethic (遵德准则).Working long hours did a lot to develop my character and helped me learn the value of a dollar. It also made me learn how to search for creative ways to settle difficult situations.
5.Where did the writer probably work part-time before attending the university
A. In a restaurant.
B. In the tennis camps.
C. In a company.
D. In the campus admissions office.

Can people change their skin color without suffering like pop king Michael Jackson Perhaps yes. Scientists have found the gene that determines skin color.
The gene comes in two versions, one of which is found in 99 percent of Europeans. The other is found in 93 t0 100 percent of Africans, researchers at the Pennsylvania State University report in the latest issue of Science.
Scientists have changed the color of a dark-striped zebrafish (斑马鱼) to gold by inserting a version of the pigment(色素) gene into a young fish. Like humans, the skin color of zebrafish is determined by pigment cells, which contain melanin (黑色素).The number, size and darkness of melanin per pigment cell determine skin color.
It appears that, like the golden zebrafish, light-skinned Europeans also have a mutation (变异) in the gene for melanin production. This results in less pigmented skin.
However, Keith Cheng, leader of the research team, points out that the mutation is different in human and zebrafish genes.
Humans acquired dark skin in Africa about l.5 million years ago to protect bodies from ultra-violet rays of the sun, which can cause skin cancer.
But when modem humans leave Africa to live in northern latitudes, they need more sunlight on their skin to produce vitamin.
Asians have the same version of the gene as Africans, so they probably acquired their light skin through the action of some other gene that affects skin color, said Cheng.
The new discovery could lead to medical treatments for skin cancer. It also could lead to research into ways to change skin color
without damaging it like chemical treatment did on Michael Jackson.

Five steps to take if your child is being bullied
16 The worst thing you can do is ignore it. Too often parents feel children and teens need to" work things out" on their own. If the problem is ignored, your child's self-esteem will become unhealthy, he will be hurt mentally or physically, and he could become a bully himself.
Here are five steps you can take if your child is having problems with a bully:
17 This is an important first step and will help your child trust that you are able to help him with his problem. Accept what he has to say by using your active listening skills.
Let your child know that he is not alone. 18 Reassure your child that he is not the problem. Nothing he did caused the bully to go after him.
If your child is being threatened in a physical or an illegal way at school, report the problem. Your child may not want you to do this, or the school may not take it seriously, but violence cannot be tolerated. 19 You will need to model assertive(果断的) behavior by alerting those in charge where the bullying is taking place.
Teach your child assertive behavior and how to ignore routine teasing. Let them know it is okay to say " no", sometimes even friends bully, so let your child know he can be true to his own feelings and saying" no" can go a long way.
20 Giving up possessions or giving in to a bully in anyway encourages the bully to continue. Identify ways for your child to respond to a bully-showing assertive but not aggressive behavior-and role-play them.
A. Believe what your child tells you.B. Encourage your child not to give in to a bully.C. Praise your child for being brave enough to talk about it.D. Bullying is a terrible situation for a child to have to cope with.E. If you choose not to do anything, that is what you're teaching your child.F. Most children have to deal with some type of bullying behavior at one time or another.G. If your child comes to you because a bully is bothering him, you need to pay close attention to the problem.
【答案】16.G 17.A 18.F 19.E 20.B
【解析】◎语篇解读本文介绍如何应对孩子受到欺辱的情况,保护孩子的心灵并给出五个应对方法。
16.本文主要介绍如何应对孩子受到欺辱的情况。G中的pay close attention to与下句的The worst thing you can do is ignore it.完全吻合。
17.本段主题是“要相信孩子”。A项中的中心词believe与接下来两句trust that you...Accept what he...相吻合。
18.F项与本段首句中的he is not alone的阐释相吻合。
19.上下文对称的平行句式。
20.B项中的not to give in to a bully与下句中的giving in to a bully吻合。
