Ⅲ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
A
It's pretty much common knowledge that Easter is a Christian celebration of Christ's rising.Where did the colored eggs, cute little bunnies, baby chicks, leg of lamb dinners，and lilies come from？They are all symbols of rebirth and the lamb was a traditional religious sacrifice(祭品)．
Easter falls in the spring, the yearly time of rebirth，when the earth makes good itself after a long，cold winter.The word Easter comes to us from the Norsemen's Eostur, Eastar，Ostara, and Ostar, and the goddess Eostre, all of which involve the season of the growing sun and new birth.The Easter Bunny arose originally as a symbol of fertility (多产), due to the rapid reproduction habits of the hare and rabbit.
The ancient Egyptians, Persians, Phoenicians, and Hindus all believed the world began with a large egg，and thus the egg as a symbol of new life has been a long time.
The details may be different, but most cultures around the world use the egg as a symbol of new life and rebirth.A system of signs in the household accounts of Edward I of England showed an expense of eighteen pence for 450 eggs to be gold-leafed and colored for Easter gifts.The first book to mention Easter eggs by name was written five hundred years ago.Yet，a North African tribe that had become Christian much earlier in time had a custom of coloring eggs at Easter.Long hard winters often meant little food，and a fresh egg for Easter was quite a prize.Later，Christians give up eating meat during the Lenten season before Easter.Easter was the first chance to enjoy eggs and meat after the_long_abstinence.
Some European children go from house to house begging for Easter eggs, much like Halloween trick-or-treaters.Called pace-egging, it comes from the old word for Easter, Pasch.Many old cultures also considered the egg to be great healing powers.It is interesting to note that eggs play almost no part in the Easter celebrations of Mexico, South America, and Native American Indian cultures.Egg-rolling contests are a symbolic practice of the rolling away of the stone from Christ's tomb.The decoration of small leaf-barren branches as Easter egg trees has become a popular custom in the United States since the 1990s.
36．People celebrate Easter in spring because ________.
A．it is a time of rebirth
B．it is warm
C．it is a season of power
D．it is a season of little food
37．The underlined part “the long abstinence” in Paragraph 4 is likely to mean ________.
A．eating meat for a long time
B．refusing to eat meat for a long time
C．rest for a long time
D．the long celebration
38．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A．In all the Easter celebrations, eggs play an important part.
B．When celebrating Halloween, children beg for eggs from door to door.
C．Most cultures use the egg as a symbol of new life.
D．The first book to mention Easter eggs by name was written four hundred years ago.
39．The best title of the passage should be ________.
A．Origin of Easter food
B．Easter egg history
C．Easter food
D．Celebration of Easter
B
It was harvest time, and several farm hands were working for $10 an hour.But they were not common laborers(劳工)．They were students who had just graduated from colleges.Mr.Krauss-Malett said he became interested in farming after working in a restaurant and seeing how much food was wasted.They had been in the fields at Hearty Roots Community Farm in the Hudson Valley since 7 a．m.They all said they could not imagine doing any other job.“Farming attracts me, and probably other people, because it's simple work outdoors，” Mr.Bobman said.“It doesn't feel like you're a part of an oppressive (压抑的) company.”
For decades, the number of farmers has been decreasing, and farming has often been seen as a backbreaking (辛苦的)job.But the recent research showed a 4 % increase in the number of farms, the first increase since 1920, and some college graduates are joining in the return to the land.
Jordan Schmidt, a manager at Hearty Roots Community Farm, studied environmental science at Wesleyan.Ms.Schmidt did not have so much as a garden growing up, but in college, she worked at a student-run farm and fell in love with agriculture(农业)．So she gave up her scientific research and moved onto a farm in Pennsylvania after graduating.This is her third season at Hearty Roots Community Farm.
“Most people who work for me are here for one season and then move onto other farms, so that's actually the biggest challenge，” said Ben Shute, who owns Hearty Roots Community Farm with his wife, Lindsey.“Every year we are busy training new people.But it is worth having such people.A lot of young people want to farm for themselves, so they are motivated(有积极性的)to learn quickly.”
On the East End of Long Island, Sean Frazier and other four people who are recent college graduates in their mid-20s, work on Quail Hillfarm in Amagansett and have become close friends.Asked if he felt he was missing out on (失去……机会) the city lifestyle, Mr.Frazier replied, “I much more feel the opposite.It would just really bother me to feel like I was inside all day and I was just missing out on everything that happened.”
40．When working in the fields, the college graduates
______.
A．were low-paid
B．felt free from pressure
C．became more interested in farming
D．thought their hard work was wasted
41．By mentioning college graduates in the return to the land, the author wants to tell us ________.
A．agriculture has been paid more attention to
B．it is much easier to make a living on a farm
C．more farmers don't like to do farm work
D．something is wrong with American agriculture
42．Why did Jordan Schmidt give up her scientific research?
A．Because she wanted to be a farm manager.
B．Because she moved onto a farm after graduating.
C．Because she wanted to study environmental science.
D．Because she fell in love with agriculture on a student-run farm.
43．From what Mr.Shute said, we can infer that ________.
A．he was fond of training new college graduates
B．college graduates shouldn't often move onto other
farms
C．he spoke highly of college graduates working on his farm
D．it was a great challenge for college graduates to do farm work
C
The city of Pompeii was once part of the largest and most powerful empire the world had ever seen.Behind this city was Vesuvius, a mountain that had been formed by an old volcano.It sometimes trembled as underground gases caused earth tremors(地震)which shook buildings.The people were sometimes alarmed, but never thought there was any real danger in being close to the volcano.
Then one day in the year 79, many dogs and farm animals began to act strangely.More tremors began.Unusual rumbling noises came from higher up the mountain until there was a loud explosion.The top of the volcano blew off－showering the city with smoke, hot stones and ashes.A tongue of fire appeared out of the crater(火山口) which had now formed at the peak(顶峰)．
The hot air and debris (碎片) continued to rain down.At first the people locked their doors and windows, hoping that this would only last a short while.They went into cellars (地下室)and underground passages to avoid the poisonous gases that filtered through cracks and openings.But, soon they were choking to death as they gasped for fresh air.Some tried to escape by running away, but the streets became blocked with loaded carts that had overturned, and piles of dead and dying people.
In a short while all the houses were totally covered by the debris which piled up over the rooftops.The city lay buried.The volcano subsided and the people gradually forgot about the city and those who lay buried under the ashes.Over the years, winds carried soil over the top and gradually trees and grass grew over where all the streets and buildings lay meters below.The people farmed the land around Vesuvius, which remained dormant(休眠)for hundreds of years.
It was not until around 1860 that archaeologists, interested in finding the remains of the buried city Pompeii, started digging.It has taken many years for most of the city to be uncovered.Today you can walk along the paved(铺设好的) streets and see the marks made by wheels of chariots and carts.You can enter many of the houses and shops which are well preserved.There is a museum in which all kinds of possessions are housed.They include tools, cooking utensils (器具), furniture and clothing.
44．Which was the sign of the coming volcano in Pompeii?
A．The forming of the crater.
B．The strange action of animals.
C．Loud noise from under the ground.
D．The falling of hot stones and ashes.
45．People went into their cellars because ________.
A．they could run away from there
B．no poisonous gases could enter there
C．they thought the explosion wouldn't last long
D．other places were blocked by the hot stone and ashes
46．The underlined word “subsided” in the fourth paragraph means ________.
A．disappeared suddenly after explosion
B．became quiet after being violent
C．last for some time and disappear slowly
D．become active and explode sometimes
D
When people talk about a “slow boat to China”， they usually mean that something is taking a very long time.The term is often used in reference to movements of people or goods, as in “my package is taking so long to arrive；it must be on a slow boat to China”．This idiom is most commonly used in American English.
The origins of the term appear to lie in the game of poker, The player who lost at a slow and steady pace was often referred to as a “slow boat to China”．Therefore the patient player achieved his winnings slowly and steadily.In a way the loser's plight (困境) was beneficial for the winning poker player.
In 1948, Frank Loesser used the idiom in a slightly different way in his song “On a Slow Boat to China”．He used it in a romantic sense, referring to the idea of being so in love with someone that you would want to take the person on a slow boat to China to spend as much time with him or her as possible.Both of these meanings referred to the fact that shipping something to China took a long time, and it would have taken even longer to cross the Pacific on a slow boat.
People continue to use this term to refer to long trips, or to suggest that they have a great deal of time to do something.For example, one might say，“We can sit and talk as long as you like, because we might as well be on a slow boat to China.” As a matter of fact, the term isn't used as much in the romantic sense anymore, because the famous song has fallen out of favor.
47．Which of the following statements about “on a slow boat to China” is NOT true?
A．It's an idiom.
B．It's the name of a song.
C．It is commonly used in British English.
D．It refers to an unexpected long slow voyage.
48．A poker player who is referred to as “a slow boat to China”is someone ________.
A．who keeps losing money
B．who plays poker well by cheating
C．who likes playing poker on a boat
D．who dislikes playing poker very much
49．We can infer from the passage that in American people's eyes，ancient China is ________.
A．amazing and easy to arrive in
B．far away and hard to arrive in
C．strange and hard to understand
D．uncultured and easy to control
50．Talking about “a slow boat to China” now, people may mean ________.
A．they are true fans of classic songs
B．they have difficulty in doing something
C．they are involved in something romantic
D．they will spend a long time achieving their goals
Ⅳ.任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)
请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
Sometimes you find yourself unable to sleep in a hotel.Therefore, in order to get a full night's rest in a bed unfamiliar to you, firstly, try to reduce as much noise as you can.Find out the location of the possible hotel you want to stay at and see if it is near possible noise sources(来源), such as highways or airports.Before being given a room, ask if there are any quiet rooms.These rooms are located on upper floors and away from elevators.Make sure the room is at least two or three floors above the dining rooms.Another idea is to ask for rooms located in the back of the building，away from parking lots.
While finding the right room is important, it's also helpful to pack a few key items to make your hotel stay as pleasurable as possible.Pack some earplugs(耳塞)，which can prevent noise entering your ears.Packing a sleep mask is also a good idea because it will prevent any annoying light entering the room, which is necessary if your room doesn't have curtains.If possible, bring some sheets, pillowcases, or blankets from your home.You'll find that your body is used to the material, which can help you sleep faster.
Before you decide to go to bed, there are some further steps you can take to prepare yourself.Don't eat before sleeping.You can also try having a small cup of tea or a glass of wine.Ask the receptionist not to put any call through to your room, making sure that you will not be woken up in the middle of the night.Remember to adjust (调节) the temperature in the room to your liking.You can also take a warm bath, which lowers body temperature enough to help make sleeping easier.
If you're a person who depends on background noise to sleep in hotels, there are plenty of steps you can try.You can put on background music and wear headphones.Also you can try putting the television on low, but make sure it will not annoy your neighbors.
Once you're in bed，clear your thoughts.If you have ideas and feelings controlling your mind，you'll find that it will be difficult to concentrate on sleeping.Look for ways to control your breathing and find a comfortable position (位置)on the bed.While sleeping in a new room might be scary at first, following these steps will help you make sure that your nights in hotels will be quite peaceful.

综合检测(三)
1．D 考查冠词。throughout history“贯穿整个历史”，history前不加冠词；sb.become＋职业/身份等“……成为……”，表示独一无二的职位的名词在作表语时，前面不加冠词。
2．B 考查动词词义辨析。consist of“由……组成，由……构成”，不用于被动语态中；be made up of“由……构成/组成”；be made of“由……制成”。故选项B正确。
3．D 表示前面的否定情况也适用于后者时常用“Neither/Nor＋be动词/助动词/情态动词＋另一主语”，故D项切题。
4．A 句意：——你的报告完成了吗？——没有，再过十分钟才能完成。another ten minutes表示“还需要10分钟”，可用ten more minutes替换。
5．A 句意：——你觉得明天开会吉姆会迟到吗？——毫无疑问，他就爱迟到。no doubt毫无疑问，符合句意。not really并非如此，how come怎么可能，no way不可能。
6．A 句意：——你有衣服要洗吗？我帮你洗。——不用了，谢谢，我要自己洗。have sth.to do有某事要做(do所表示的动作由主语发出)，have sth.to be done有某事要做(do所表示的动作不是主语发出的)，此处you不是wash这一动作的执行者，故不定式用被动式，选A。
7．D 句意：不要被承诺让你迅速减肥的产品给骗了。take off起飞，迅速流行；take out带……出去；take away带走；take in欺骗。D项符合句意。
8．D 考查非谓语动词。本题用还原法做。定语从句先行词为plan，从句谓语动词为see，关系代词代替the plan在从句中作宾语，the plan与carry out之间为动宾关系，故应用过去分词作宾补，构成see sth.done结构。
9．D 动词词义辨析。句意：我们本来打算去成都看一个朋友，但那天发生的强烈地震把我们的计划全毁掉了。ruin指外界原因使事物受到破坏，弄糟。
10．A 考查“make＋宾语＋宾补”结构，结合句意和句子结构可知此处应用interested(感兴趣的)作宾补。
11．C as well as连接的两个名词作主语时，谓语动词与as well as之前的名词在人称和数上保持一致，排除B、D。因every Sunday afternoon in winter暗示此处表示经常性、习惯性的动作，因此应用一般现在时。故选C。
12．D 句意：——你昨晚去看演出了吗？——是的，这个地区的每个女孩和每个男孩都被邀请了。every boy and girl属于“every＋可数名词单数＋and＋(every＋)可数名词单数”结构，该结构作主语时谓语要用单数形式，排除A、B；此处说的是过去的一般情况，所以用一般过去时。
13．B 考查主谓一致的“就近一致”原则。either...or...连接的名词或代词作主语时，谓语动词要与or后面的名词或代词在人称和数上保持一致，one of your students表示单数概念，故本题选B。
14．C with的复合结构中，宾语补足语的非谓语形式根据宾语决定，这里date和fix是被动关系，因此用过去分词。
15．A 句意：——你对求职面试很有信心，对吗？——当然了，我做好了全面准备并且认为自己准备好了他们需要的一切。A项“当然”；B项“很难说”；C项“希望如此”；D项“或许”。

Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
There used to be a term that was used to describe someone who drove their vehicles down the highway while staring at the scenery.These drivers just drove slowly，taking their own sweet time，as if they had nothing to do and no place in particular to go.Thus，the expression，“Sunday driver”，was born.Consequently，a Sunday driver wasn't necessarily someone who was driving on a Sunday.A person could be a Sunday driver any day of the week.The_expression_simply_meant_that_the_person_was_an_obstacle_to_other_drivers_who_were_in_a_hurry.
The expression probably came about because there was a time when people would often decide to go for a relaxing drive on Sunday afternoons.A Sunday drive was a common occurrence years ago and especially on a nice warm sunny day.There were no stores open on Sunday because of the“blue laws”，so you needed to be sure and fill up the gas tank and make any other needed purchases before Sunday arrived.
Some of the states had strict blue laws that even prohibited some activities on Sunday.However, there is still a lot to be said for the slow, gentle life that once existed.It was a time when very few people worked on Sunday except for those professions vital to our well-being such as those in the medical profession.It was a day“set apart” that was used to rest, visit with neighbors and friends, or maybe go to grandma's house for supper.Today there are many who return to work and children who go back to school overly tired on Monday due to a lack of rest.Perhaps there would be less stress related illnesses if we really kept Sunday as a day of rest.
1．According to the passage，“Sunday driver”refers to the person who ________.
A．drives his vehicle on Sundays
B．drives for fun and relaxation
C．enjoys a weekend break
D．makes a Sunday purchase
2．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．Sunday drivers affected traffic flow.
B．Sunday drivers drove too slowly.
C．Sunday drivers increased traffic speed.
D．Sunday drivers felt hatred for other drivers.
3．What kind of activity was strictly prohibited on Sunday by blue laws?
A．Visiting with neighbors and friends.
B．Going to the hospital to see a doctor.
C．Having a family get-together.
D．Selling goods or services.
4．According to the author, Sunday rest would help people ________.
A．earn a lot more money
B．experience less pressure
C．keep pace with society
D．improve academic performance
5．What is the author's attitude toward“blue laws”？
A．Supportive. B．Doubtful.
C．Opposed. D．Conservative.
B
At dawn on Friday, May 19,1780，farmers in New England stopped to wonder at the pink color of the sun.By noon the sky had darkened to midnight blackness, causing Americans, still in the painful struggle of a prolonged war of independence，to light candles and tremble at thoughts of the Last Judgment.As the birds quieted and no storm accompanied the darkness, men and women crowded into churches，where one minister commented that“The people were very attentive”．John Greenleaf Whittier later wrote that “Men prayed, and women wept；all ears grew sharp...”
A recent study of researchers, led by Richard Guyette from the University of Missouri Tree-Ring Laboratory，has shown that vast forest fires in the Algonquin Highlands of southern Ontario and elsewhere in Canada brought this event upon New England.The scientists have discovered“fire scars”on the rings for that year，left when the heat of a wildfire has killed a part of a tree's cambium (形成层)．Evidence collected also points to a drought that year.An easterly wind and low barometric pressure (低气压) helped force smoke into the upper atmosphere.“The record fits pretty close，” says Guyette.“We had the right fuel，the drought.The conditions were all there.”
Lacking the ability to communicate quickly over long distances, Americans in 1780 remained in the dark about the event，which had disappeared by the next day.Over the next several months, the papers carried heated debates about what brought the darkness.Some were the voices of angry prediction，such as one Massachusetts farmer who wrote，“Oh! Backsliding New England, attend now to the things which belong to your peace before they are forever hid from your eyes.”Others gave different answers.One stated that “a flaming star” had passed between the earth and the sun.Ash, argued another commentator.The debate, carried on throughout New England, where there were no scientific journals or academies yet, reflected an unfolding culture of scientific enquiry already sweeping the Western world，a revolution nearly as influential as the war for independence from the English.
New Englanders would not soon forget that dark day；it lived on in folklore, poems，and sermons for generations
6．New Englanders crowded into churches because they were frightened by ________.
A．the pink color of the sun
B．the darkened sky at daytime
C．the Last Judgment on Friday
D．the American War of Independence
7．What can we infer about the event in New England on May 19,1780?
A．Prayers remained silent and attentive.
B．Night birds no longer came out to sing.
C．People's ears became sharper than usual.
D．Mid-day meals were served by candlelight.
8．According to the researchers，the origin of the event was ________.
A．an east wind
B．a severe drought
C．some burning fuel
D．low barometric pressure
9．What can we know about the debates after the dark day?
A．They focused on causes of the event.
B．They swept throughout the Western world.
C．They were organized by scientific institutions.
D．They improved Americans' ability to communicate.
10．What can be the BEST title for the text?
A．New England's dark day
B．Voices of angry prediction
C．There is no smoke without fire
D．Tree rings and scientific discovery

Ⅱ.1.A 句意：你认为如果经理退休了谁将接管这个公司？take over接收，接管；take off起飞，离开；take in领会，理解；take on呈现，雇用。
2．B 表示某人的确如此用“so＋主语＋助动词”结构；表示后者与前者情况相同，则用“so＋系动词、助动词、情态动词＋另一主语”结构，因此B项正确。
3．A 句意：李白作为诗人而出名，他因他的诗闻名。be famous as作为……而出名；be known for因……而出名。
4．B civilization作为“文明社会，文明世界”讲时，为不可数名词，根据句意此处即为此意，所以A项错误。C、D项均为形容词。
5．C 句意：——你听说过有关最近选举的事情了吗？——当然，这已经成为最近三天报道的唯一话题。根据时间状语“for the last three days”可知此处用现在完成时，故答案为C。for the last three days是本题的关键信息，它多与现在完成时连用。
6．D 考查由副词there引起的倒装句。句意：约翰打开门。那儿站着一个他从没有见过的女孩。当here，there，thus，then等副词位于句首，且当句子的主语是名词时，句子用全部倒装。所以D项为正确答案。
7．A 句意：该宫殿在上世纪曾三次失火，现在原始的建筑物所剩无几。考查动词的时态和语态。remain是不及物动词，没有被动语态或进行时态，故排除B、C和D，而选择A。

9．B 句意：布莱克夫人对儿子的期望很高，儿子赢得英语写作比赛的一等奖，她非常兴奋。情感类形容词之后常接不定式作原因状语，当不定式的逻辑主语与句子主语不一致时，不定式前要加上自身的逻辑主语，故本题选B。
10．C 句意：明天是格洛里亚在这儿的最后一天，明天下午她就要动身去伦敦了，我想我们应该去机场为她送行。趋向性动词leave的现在进行时在此表示按计划将要发生的动作。
11．A 表示方向的副词up前置，句子谓语动词为jump，但句子主语为人称代词，所以句子主谓不倒装，故本题选A。
12．C remains意为：剩余物，遗迹。第二空考查bury充当宾语补足语，与宾语buildings为被动关系。
13．B 句意：——你的峨眉山之行如何？——除了路上车抛锚了两次，一切都很顺利。break down出故障，(车)抛锚，符合语境。slow down慢下来；get down下来，写下；put down镇压，写下。
14．A 句意：上个月我们去法国度假了，那儿的坏天气彻底毁了我们的假期。ruin在此指毁坏美好的事物。damage损坏，一般指破坏具体的事物，且损坏程度较轻；harm伤害；cover覆盖，报道。
15．A 句意：九寨沟非常美，每年都有很多游客涌来欣赏它的美景。pour in涌入，符合句意及句子结构的要求，in在此为副词。pour into涌入，into为介词，其后要接宾语；reach作“到达”解时，为及物动词，其后要接宾语；reach out伸出，与句意不符。

5．A 态度意图题。从文章最后一段可以看出，作者认为“blue laws”禁止周末进行商业活动使得人们可以在周末休息放松，这样可以减少因压力而产生的疾病，因此可判断作者对于“blue laws”是持支持态度的。

9．A 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句可知人们对于白昼变成黑夜的争论主要集中在引起这种现象的原因，因此选项A正确。

In Paris ，Isabella became close friends with one of her classmates，Julia Gardner，whose family was from Boston.Julia would later introduce Isabella to her brother，Jak.In 1860，Isabella Stewart married Jack Gardner.

After her husband's death in 1898，Isabella knew she had no time to lose in building her museum.She bought land，hired a building designer，and supervised (监督)every detail of her museum's construction.

Ending your day the right way will make sure that you look back on it with a sense of achievement and satisfaction, making it easier to get up and go to work the next morning.So there are some things that all workers should do at the end of every workday.
Evaluate(评估) your to-do list.Make sure you're where you need to be on these activities and that you've completed as much as you could.If you aren't satisfied with where you are, plan what you need to do and when you'll do it, so you don't get further behind.If you can quickly get something done before you leave，do it.More importantly, decide what you must complete the next day and make a new to-do list.This will save your time the next morning.
Go over your schedule for the next day.Make sure you're aware of any meeting or call for the following day.You can also use this chance to schedule time on your calendar (日程表)to complete any remaining items from today's to-do list.Think about one thing you are most looking forward to tomorrow.It'll help you leave behind what's happened today，improve your present mood and put a full stop to your workday.
Tidy up.Before walking out of the room，take a few minutes to throw any trash, organize your paperwork and tidy up your desk.This will give you a feeling of a fresh start when you arrive the next morning.You should also spare at least 15 minutes at the end of your day to sort through those happy hour invitations，unnecessary emails，and so on.
Leave in a positive manner.Find something positive that makes you feel good about your job and make sure that moment is the last thing on your mind before walking out of the office.If you have people reporting to you，say a few words of encouragement.Most workers want to feel appreciated and know they're making a difference in the big picture.Equally importantly, say goodbye to everyone in a friendly way before you leave.
Leave your stress at the door.When you walk out of the office, remember to leave your stress behind.Leaving the office at the end of the day can be difficult, but carrying your stress home with you won't do any good.Your family needs you to be present, so do what you can to make sure your stress stays at the office.
Things you should do at the end of every workday

2．B 句意：凯特提前把钱给他了，这无疑是一个错误。根据句意可知，空白处要用no doubt表示“无疑”。
3．A 句意：过了几分钟，我才意识到出了什么事。根据题干中的结构可知，此处要用be aware what...表示“意识到……”。concerned关心的；awake醒着的；ashamed惭愧的，均不符合语境。
4．B 由句中的some...and some...可知，句子主语更强调个体，所以句子谓语用复数，排除A、C两项，be dressed in表示“穿着”，故B项切题。

11．A 句意：在老师的带领下，我们能取得很大的进步。考查with复合结构。teacher与lead为逻辑上的主动关系，不定式表示将来。
12．B 句意：既然已完成工作了，你就应该好好休息一下。now that意为“既然，由于”，表示因果关系。
13．A fight for意思为“为了……而斗争”，因为句中用了in history这一表过去的时间状语，所以应用一般过去时，排除B、D项；第三个空表示“与……”的含义，应用介词with。故A项正确。

4．A 细节判断题。根据文章第三段，Isabella Stewart 当时与Jack 的妹妹是同学，故A与原文不符；第四段提到当时的博物馆冷而空洞，因此应该感觉不舒服，故B与原文一致；根据文章第五段和第六段，Isabella Gardner 的丈夫是在1898年去世的，而她的博物馆的开馆时间是在1903年，也就是其丈夫死后5年，故C项与原文一致；根据第六段，当时进博物馆是需要花钱的，因此，D项也与原文一致。故答案选A。
5．D 细节理解题。Isabella Stewart死后留下一百万美元，但是这些不一定是经营博物馆所得，所以很难说她从艺术收藏中得到很多钱，故A不对；根据第六段，当时的博物馆叫Fenway Court，但现在不是，故B不对；该博物馆向大众开放是在1月份的下个月，即2月份，故C不对；根据文章最后一段，她死后就博物馆的经营方面作了要求，因此，现在的经营仍然受到当时Isabella stewart 的要求所影响。故答案选D。

Ⅳ.阅读理解
Drive-in movie theaters are considered an American invention.Drive-ins became very popular in the United States after World War Two.They combined two popular loves in America: cars and movies.
The first drive-in movie theater opened in the United States in 1933.People could watch a film on the big screen while sitting in their car, eating，talking and relaxing.
Many drive-in theaters opened in the 1950s, as the American economy expanded(发展)after the war and more people bought cars.In the 1960s，there were between 4,000 and 6,000 drive-in theaters in the United States.There wasn't really television at that point in all the homes.And so it was just sort of this thing that families did where they saw their neighbors, where they took their kids.But almost as soon as drive-ins were everywhere, their popularity began to fade.Today, fewer than 400 are still operating in the United States.So why did drive-ins lose their appeal (吸引力)?
Some of the older theaters were dirty and the quality of the films declined.In the late 1960s, more people were buying color televisions.And more indoor theaters were opening with multiple choices of films.The 1970s and the 1980s brought video rentals (录影带租借) and cable TV with many choices of channels.Televisions made it easier and cheaper to stay at home for entertainment.
Today，there are more choices and more ways than ever to experience entertainment.If you really want to watch a movie in your car，you could watch it on a DVD player or stream video on a mobile device.You don't have to go to a drive-in any more.
In spite of that, some people still think drive-in movie theaters can still be an important focus in the cultural life of a community and they still go there.
1．In the 1950s, what Americans were very interested in were ________.
A．peace and relaxation
B．houses and cars
C．cars and movies.
D．relaxation and culture
2．After the war, many people bought cars ________.
A．because they wanted to travel
B．because cars were very cheap
C．because they got rich
D．in order to see movies in drive-ins
3．What influenced the drive-ins most according to the passage?
A．Video rentals. B．Televisions.
C．Car videos. D．The Internet.
4．We can learn from the last paragraph that ________.
A．some people still like to go to a drive-in to see movies
B．drive-ins are getting more important in the community
C．more people prefer going to the indoor theatres to drive-ins
D．drive-ins are popular though there're more cho-
ices for relaxing
5．What is the BEST title of this passage?
A．The history of televisions
B．The cultural life of a community in the USA
C．Watching a film in a drive-in movie theater
D．Different ways to experience entertainment
课时作业(八)
Ⅰ.1.extreme 2.complaint 3.bone 4.solution 5.historical 6.fled 7.ashes 8.institute
9．disaster 10.beneath
Ⅱ.1.C 句意：因缺少停车设施，我们接到了很多客户的投诉。complaint投诉，符合语境。
2．C 句意：自1990年以来，来中国上大学的外国学生数量一直在稳步增加。“the number of＋复数名词”作主语，谓语动词用单数形式；由时间状语since 1990判断句子用现在完成进行时。
3．A 题干中family指一个家庭，强调整体概念，故第一分句的谓语用单数，排除D；加之consist不用于被动语态，排除C。all指所有家庭成员，强调个体，第二分句的谓语用复数，故A项切题。
4．B 题干中含有“have difficulty(in)doing sth.”结构的变化形式，imagine后接的宾语从句是感叹句，由“What＋adj.＋不可数名词＋其他”结构可知，B项切题。
5．D 句意：他们使用电脑来保证交通的顺畅。keep“使……保持(某种状态)”，其后用现在分词作补语；run“运转，运行”，是不及物动词，与the traffic是逻辑上的主动关系。
6．B 句意：——那个司机被认为违反了交通规则。——那就是警察考虑罚他款的原因吗？第一句中的consider意为“认为”，be considered to have done意为“被认为做了某事”；第二句中的consider意为“考虑”，consider doing sth.考虑做某事。综上可知B项切题。
7．B It remains to be seen...表示“……有待证实/弄清楚”，为常用句型。it是形式主语，此处whether引导的从句是真正的主语。句意：吉姆是否很适合参加决赛还不知道。
8．D 句意：我们多数人都知道应该减少脂肪的摄入量，但当涉及购物和吃的时候，知道这些起不了很大的作用。appeal to对……有吸引力；call for要求；focus on集中精力于……；come to谈到，涉及。D项符合语境。
9．D 考查动词词义辨析。句意：想挣更多钱的欲望使他发疯，有一天晚上他进了一家超市。drive sb.mad为固定搭配，意为“把某人逼疯”。
10．C 考查代词用法区别。句意：——下午三点时我们见面好吗？——抱歉，咱们改个时间吧。没有other's形式；the other指两者中另外一个；other形容词，意为“其他的，别的”，后接名词或者代词。以上三者均不合句意。
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．A 句意：这所大学估计，国际学生的生活费用每年大约8 450美元，这对他们中的一些学生来说是一个负担。第一个空的主语为living expenses“生活费用”，所以谓语动词用复数形式；“which________a burden for some of them”是一个非限制性定语从句，which指代前面的“生活费用高”这件事，故此处谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。
13．A 句意：一般说来，别人对其期望值高的学生，他们的内在动机对自身的发展是至关重要的。分析句子结构可知，该句的主语部分为students' inner motivation with high expectations from others，中心词inner motivation显然为第三人称单数。再根据generally(一般说来)判断该句话讲的是通常情况，所以用一般现在时。解答该类题目的关键在于找准中心词。
14．D 句意：当看到道路被雪堵住的时候，我们决定在家里度假。分析结构可知，此处是“see＋宾语＋宾语补足语”结构；宾补是do形式时，表示“看见宾语做某事的整个过程”；宾补是doing形式时，表示“看见宾语正在做某事”；若宾补与宾语之间为动宾关系，则要用过去分词作宾补。分析结构可知，此处block与宾语the road之间为动宾关系，应用blocked作宾补，故正确答案为D项。解此类试题，分析宾语与宾补的逻辑关系是解题关键。
15．B 句意：要让那些生活困难的人们相信我们会全力以赴帮助他们的。本题考查let sb.do sth.结构，let是使役动词，其后作宾补的动词不定式要省略to，故该题的正确答案为B。in need生活困难的，作those的后置定语。
Ⅲ.1.C 根据上文中的．..I was about to go on a long drive...可知，此处指为旅途(trip)购买饮料。
2．A 联系下文中的．..just one I passed along the way可以推知，这不是作者经常(usually)去的商店。
3．D 作者从入口走过去，注意到(noticed)一个男人和一个男孩站在商店门口。
4．B 上文提到商店门口，所以这里应该是指顾客(Customers)走过去，倒数第二段中最后也有相关的提示。
5．A 根据上文中的I walked up to them with curiosity，可知这里指作者走近(closer)的时候。
6．C 结合下文中提到的．..a simple list of food items：peanut butter，noodles，pasta sauce and vegetables可知，此处指食物(foods)。
7．B 联系句中的I said hello可知，这个人向作者问好(greeted)。
8．D 根据上文中的．..I saw that they had two carts starting to fill with __6__可以推知，他们是收集(collecting)捐赠的。
9．A 在这张纸上(On)列举了各种食物，也就是，这是一张列举了各种食物的单子。
10．C 根据句中的．..about the boy and his efforts to collect food donations since the age of 8可以推知，单子上内容还包括有关小男孩8岁以来收集捐赠的故事(story)。
11．A 上文提到小男孩从8岁就开始募捐，由此可知此处指这样年轻的(young)一个人。
12．D 作者说募捐是一件令人敬畏的想法，小男孩应该为自己感到自豪，所以小男孩笑了(smiled)。
13．B 根据下文中的．..the store didn't have it等语境可知，作者走(walked)进商店。
14．A 作者走进商店去买饮料，不幸的是(Unfortunately)，商店里没有这种饮料。
15．C 作者并没有感到伤心，因为(because)他还有一项任务，也就是买东西去捐赠。
16．B 下文提到作者要按照单子选择商品，所以他要四处在商店寻找(went through)。
17．D 根据上文中的．..__9__ the paper was a simple list of food items...可知，此处指选购单子(list)上的东西。
18．A 上文提到那个男人递给作者一张纸(paper)，这里作者又还回去，可以给别的顾客用。
19．B 联系文章第一段第二句可知，作者是开车来的，所以这里指作者回到自己的车(car)那。
20．A 偶然碰到(meet with)一个有志于做好事的年轻男孩，作者感到深受鼓舞。
Ⅳ.1.C 从第一段最后一句话“美国人把他们钟爱的两样东西——汽车和电影，融合在一起”可知答案。
2．C 第三段的Many drive-in theaters opened in the 1950s，as the American economy expanded after the war and more people bought cars告诉我们“二战后，美国经济迅速发展”，由此可推断出，更多的人买车是因为他们富有。
3．B 根据第四、五段内容，特别是第四段最后一句话，可推断出，电视对汽车影院冲击最大。录影带也需要通过电视才能观看，汽车影像出现时，汽车影院已经萧条，文章没有提到因特网。
4．A 该段内容是：尽管有各种影音设备，有些人仍然认为，汽车影院仍是社区文化生活的重要组成部分，他们仍然去那儿。由此可推断出，汽车影院仍然受到部分人的青睐。
5．C 文章主要讲了美国汽车影院的产生、发展以及衰落，所以C项正确。
