三、阅读理解
For Canaan Elementary's second grade in Patchogue, N. Y., today is speech day, and right now it's Chris Palaez's turn. The 8-year-old is the joker of the class. With shining dark eyes, he seems like the kind of kid who would enjoy public speaking.
But he's nervous. "I'm here to tell you today why you should... should..." Chris trips on the "-ld," a pronunciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers. His teacher, Thomas Whaley, is next to him, whispering support."…Vote for... me..." Except for some stumbles Chris is doing amazingly well. When he brings his speech to a nice conclusion, Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him.
A son of immigrants, Chris started learning English a little over three years ago. Whaley recalls (回想起) how at the beginning of the year, when called upon to read, Chirs would excuse himself to go to the bathroom.
Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience. What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes. "It takes a lot for any student," Whaley explains, "especially for a student who is learning English as their new language, to feel confident enough to say, 'I don't know, but I want to know.'"
Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president. The answer broke his heart. Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn to boast (夸耀) about themselves.
"Boasting about yourself, and your best qualities," Whaley says, "is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident."
1.What made Chris nervous
A.Telling a story. B.Making a speech.
C.Taking a test. D.Answering a question.
2.What does the underlined word "stumbles" in paragraph 2 refer to
A.Improper pauses. B.Bad manners. C.Spelling mistakes. D.Silly jokes.
3.We can infer that the purpose of Whaley's project is to __________.
A.help students see their own strengths B.assess students' public speaking skills
C.prepare students for their future jobs D.inspire students' love for politics
4.Which of the following best describes Whaley as a teacher
A.Humorous. B.Ambitious. C.Caring. D.Demanding.
四、语法填空
On our way to the house, it was raining ① ____ hard that we couldn't help wondering how long it would take ②____ (get) there. It was in the middle of Pearl City.

三、答案:1-4.BAAC
解析:1.考查细节理解。根据第一段中的"today is speech day... Chris Palaez's turn"和第二段中的"But he's nervous"可知,Chris 在进行竞选演说,他感到非常紧张。
2.考查词义猜测。Chris在演讲时说到"why you should... should..."时,磕绊起来,因为他像很多母语非英语的孩子一样,-ld发音有困难。语篇中的省略号清楚地表明Chris话语不流畅,在should这个词上停顿,重复,因此选A。
3.考查推理判断。根据倒数第二段的"Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn to boast(夸耀) about themselves"和最后一段的内容可知,老师让学生参加竞选演说不仅仅是让学生们学会在公开场合演说,更重要的是让他们发现自己的长处,从而树立自信。
4.考查推理判断。根据第二段可知,当Chris Palaez发表竞选演说遇到问题时,老师耳语为他提示。文章最后两段解释了老师举办这项活动的初衷,我们可以判断这个老师是关心他人的人,因此选C。
四、答案:①so ②to get ③of ④who ⑤recommended ⑥competition ⑦traditional ⑧hugely ⑨were invited ⑩listening
解析:①考查固定结构。句意:在去那座房子的路上,雨下得如此大以至于我们不能不想还要多久才能到达那里。“so...that...”意为“如此……以至于……”,引导结果状语从句。故填so。
②考查固定用法。此处考查“it takes sb. some time to do sth.”,表示“花某人多长时间做某事”。
③考查介词的用法。a pack of意为“一群”。故填of。
④考查定语从句关系词。句意:它们被主人训练地很好,它们的主人在照顾这些动物方面很有经验。先行词为masters(主人),且从句缺主语。故关系词填who。
⑤考查动词的时态。句意:主人跟我们分享了很多他们的经历并推荐了一些很好的吃饭、购物和参观的地方。and前后两个动作shared与recommended是并列关系,时态一致。故填recommended。
⑥考查词形转换。由空前的不定冠词an与空后的不定式to watch可以确定空处应该用名词形式。故填competition。
⑦考查词形转换。空处修饰名词stories,应用形容词形式,tradition的形容词为traditional,故填traditional。
⑧考查词形转换。空处单词修饰形容词popular,应用副词形式,huge的副词为hugely,故填hugely。
⑨考查动词的时态和语态。由“on the last day of our week-long stay”可知,句子时态为一般过去时;表示“我们被邀请”所以用被动语态。主语为we,故填were invited。
⑩考查非谓语动词。本句谓语动词为“were invited”,所以listen应用非谓语动词形式。听音乐这个动作是由we发出的,所以应用现在分词形式。也可由and前后连接两个并列的结构这一规律解题,and后meeting interesting locals为分词形式,故填listening。
