Every time I lost a t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ooth I would put it under my pillow at night. The next morning I would wake up to find two coins replacing my tooth. Then I'd wonder about the tooth fairy (牙齿精灵) all day.21世纪教育网版权所有
“Mom, where do ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )you think the tooth fairy lives What does she do with the teeth she collects?”21·世纪*教育网
My mom said she didn't ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) know. She only knew that the tooth fairy took the tooth away while we were sleeping and left us some money under our pillow. But I wanted to find out.
So I think it was a go ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )od thing that I would lose another tooth. The plan was to stay up all night and question the tooth fairy when she showed up.
That night I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lay quietly in my bed, growing sleepy as the night went on. Moments later, I felt that someone was close to me. Through my half opened eyes, I didn't see any feet, but I knew it was the tooth fairy. I watched her run around and fly right out of my room. She was wearing a shiny green dress.
After she left, I imme ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )diately felt under my pillow. There were two coins. I had never even felt my pillow move. I wondered if she used magic.
As I got older, I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) learned from my teachers that the tooth fairy didn't exist. It was just a mythical figure (神话人物) of early childhood. I kind of thought it was, but how could I see the tooth fairy fly that night
Then one night my m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )om came into my room to check on me. The moonlight was bright that night and it shone through my window right on her shiny green nightdress. Right then I knew deep down that my mom was the tooth fairy.

In this hotel, there ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )'s a garden that allows guests to hang around outside with a drink, a Japanese restaurant, and a 24 hour bar that serves all sorts of drinks at fair prices.21·cn·jy·com
Arran House Hotel (£97)
The main attrac ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tion here is the social history of this location. But if you're not interested in history, there's always the private rose garden and a DVD library for you to have fun. Generally, the rooms are luxurious (奢侈的) and provide all the necessary tools; however, the history of the place is the main selling point here.
The Hoxton (£69)
The Hoxton has always ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) been famous for its £1 per room offers, but for those who can't get one of those offers it's still affordable. A free small breakfast is provided to all rooms. There is also a nice restaurant next door.
The Pavilion (£100)
The Pavilion ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )is a place where each of the 30 rooms has a musical theme. Metallica, Honky Tonk Afro, and Casablanca Nights are just some of the themed rooms. The music is very classical and those who are part of the older generation will find staying here to be a very pleasant experience. Faces like Duran Duran and Naomi Campbell have turned up to this hotel before, so it must be good.

Almost all th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eme park accidents can be prevented. Here, based on theme park safety, are some tips to help you and your family stay safe on your next visit.
Stay_Cool,_and_Don't_Get_Burned
Heat causes more ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pain and injury at theme parks than all the worlD s roller coasters (过山车) combined. Water is your best friend in helping prevent heat related illnesses in theme parks. Choose water rather than juice and soft drinks whenever you get thirsty. Put on a waterproof sunscreen before you enter the park. A hat or a pair of sunglasses can help, too.
________
On any theme park rid ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e, keep your rear (后部) on the seat, your hands on the grab bar (扶手) and your feet and knees inside the car. If there is no grab bar, keep your hands on your lap (大腿部). If you are riding a “floorless” coaster, relax your legs. Don't kick them out to the side or front. Do not get on or off a ride until you've been given the okay by an attendant to do so.
Help_the_Kids
If you are visit ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing with children, tell them how they should behave. Meanwhile, parents also should know the following rules, too.
★ Tell them to stay ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )seated, to hold the grab bar or put their hands on their laps.
★ And never put a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) crying child on a ride. If your child starts to cry, let others pass you in line until your child is calmed. Or, gently exit the queue and find something more relaxing to do.
★ Let them take plenty of breaks.
“Kids get tired,” ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) said TPI reader Matt Johnson, a father of four. “Tired kids make parents even more tired. And tired kids and parents get hurt — physically and emotionally.” He advises that parents plan a mid day break, perhaps a swim back at the hotel, to avoid mid day heat and crowds.21*cnjy*com
“You will see many fam ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ilies having a miserable time while you are refreshed and having a great evening.”
语篇解读 本文为人们在游览主题公园时,需要注意的几个安全方面的问题。
8.The subtitle for the third paragraph should be ________.
A. Look After Yourselves
B. Do Not Get On or Off a Ride Alone
C. Relax Your Legs
D. Stay In to Stay Safe
答案与解析 D 主旨大意题。由本段 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )所叙述的内容可知答案为D项。Stay In to Stay Safe可理解为“安全驾驶指南”。其余几项都是具体细节,不能概括本段含义。21教育网
9.The best title of the passage would probably be ________.
A. Theme Park Safety Tips
B. How to Protect Yourselves Better
C. Full Preparations before Visiting Theme Parks
D. Theme Park Accidents
答案与解析 A 主旨大意题。第一段中 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )“Here, based on theme park safety, are some tips to help you and your family stay safe on your next visit.”指出了文章要介绍的内容。www.21-cn-jy.com
10.The underlined word “emotionally” most probably means ________.www-2-1-cnjy-com
A. bodily B. moodily
C. mentally D. materially
答案与解析 C 词义猜测题。 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )bodily“身体上地”; moodily“心情不稳地;易生气地”; mentally“精神上地”; materially“本质上地;物质上地”。由前面的词physically“身体上地”可知emotionally为“情感上地”,故选择C项。

Martin: [sighs] Yours ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), I know. But I'd rather be happy __45__ rich.
答案与解析 
36.it 考查代词。空格处指代homework,故填it。
37.a 考查冠词。concert是可数名词,且表泛指,故其前用不定冠词a。
38.won't 考查反义疑问句。前面的陈述句是肯定句,故填won't。
39.who/that 考查关系 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )代词。________ is from “Dream Discs”是定语从句,修饰先行词man,故填who/that。
40.can 考查情态动词。本句意为“周六你可以练习一整天”,故填can(可以)。
41.don't get 考查时态。条件句中用一般现在时表将来,且根据语境可知,此处表达否定的含义,故填don't get。
42.to play 考查非 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )谓语动词。play the guitar是don't need a certificate的目的,故用不定式短语作目的状语。
43.either 考查副词。否定句中表示“也”用either。
44.paid 考查时态。由语境可知,房子和吉它都是已经拥有的东西,故付款买它们是过去的事情,故用一般过去时。
45.than 考查固定搭配。本句用了would rather do ... than ...结构,表示“与……比较,更喜欢干”。
第三部分 写作(共两节,满分35分)
第一节 短文改错(每小题1分,满分10分)

单元测评(六) 综合质量测评
(时间:90分钟 满分:110分)
第一部分 阅读理解(共两节;满分30分)
第一节 (共10小题;每小题2分,满分20分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
I sat at my sea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t waiting for the school paper to be passed around. I waited anxiously, knowing that once I received it I would know how good a writer I really am.
When the paper a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rrived at my classroom, I nearly knocked down five of my classmates to get to the first paper. With the school paper in my hands, I returned to my seat. About a month earlier, I had handed in one of, what I believed to be, my best stories. I named it Symbol of Success. The head of the English Department at my school, Professor Cullen, had said that she would include some reviews (评论) of students' stories in the latest school paper. Professor Cullen was known for her rough criticism. Impressing her was very hard but I wanted to be the first to do so.
I sat at the edge of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) my seat as I read through the other story reviews. There wasn't one story that got more than three stars. I became calm and wasn't anxious to know my review. It was long after that I heard someone shout out “Five stars?! Seriously!” from behind me. I turned around and saw the shocked expression of Gene's face, “Peter, your story got five stars!” I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I turned my attention back to my story and saw the five stars at the end of the review that I had not read yet. I looked through the review written by Professor Cullen. She wrote that I had a gift for story writing.21cnjy.com
I was proud that I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) achieved what I thought was impossible. For so long I believed I wasn't as good as I thought I was and that my talent was not enough to cover up my lack of writing skills. But this review proved that I was truly a good writer and that there was a future ahead of me in the field of fiction writing. The review and the five stars meant the world to me. Those five stars became the symbol of my success.
语篇解读 本文为夹叙夹议文。作者写了一篇佳作,得到了卡伦教授的高度评价,这使作者看到了自己的写作天赋,对未来充满了信心。

To us it seems ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains, but actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. Its first use was as a shade against the sun!
Nobody knows ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese in the 11th century BC.
We know that t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office.
In Europe, the Gre ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was commonly used in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.
During the Middle A ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ges, the use of umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late 16th century. And again it was considered as a symbol of power. By 1680, the umbrella appeared in France and later in England.
By the 18th century, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe.
Umbrellas ha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ve not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn't until the twentieth century that women's umbrellas began to be made, in a whole variety of colors.
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了伞最初产生时的用途以及后来的演变。
8.According to th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )is passage, the umbrella was probably first invented in ancient ________.
A. China B. Egypt
C. Greece D. Rome
答案与解析 A 细节理解题 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )。根据文章第二段第二句“Probably the first to use it were the Chinese in the 11th century BC.”可判断伞最初是在中国产生的。
9.Which of the following statements is NOT true about the umbrella
A. No one exactly knows who the inventor of the umbrella was.
B. The umbrell ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a was first invented to be used as protection against the sun.
C. The umbrella changed much in style in the 18th century.
D. In Europe, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade.
答案与解析 C 细节理解题。根 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )据文章倒数第一段中“Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time”可知伞在风格上没有什么变化。
10.A strange feat ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ure of the umbrellA s use is that it was used as ________.
A. protection against rain
B. a shade against the sun
C. a symbol of honor and power
D. women's decoration (装饰)

答案与解析 
语篇解读 美国的广场舞历史悠久。它源自过去男女在一起干完农活时跳的集体舞蹈。
36.or 空格前后是并列的部分bui ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ld a house 和harvest crops,两部分之间为选择关系,故填表“或”之意的连词or。
37.was done  ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )所给词在句中作谓语,又根据主句谓语动词danced可知该处应用一般过去时。 所给动词do与其逻辑主语the work为被动关系,故用一般过去时的被动语态,故填was done。
38.stands 所给词在句中作谓语 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )表现在的习惯动作,应用一般现在时,又句子主语为Each couple,表整体,故谓语用单数形式,故填stands。
39.right 根据语境男士站在左边可判断出女士站在右边,故填right。
40.facing 空格前已有谓语stan ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d,故该空应填非谓语,所给动词face与其逻辑主语they为主动关系,故用现在分词形式作伴随状语。
41.many as many as “多达”,修饰可数名词复数形式。
42.who 这是一个定语从句,空格前的those是先行词,指人,空格后的从句中缺少主语,故用关系代词who 引导定语从句。
43.more colorful 根据空 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )格前的比较级修饰语much及语境暗示“穿上戏服更加多姿多彩” 可知该处填形容词colorful的比较级形式more colorful。2·1·c·n·j·y
44.different 空格后是名词c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )olors,应用形容词作定语。故该空填名词difference“不同;区别”的形容词形式different“不同的”。
45.it 空格处缺少宾语,又结合语境可知该处所填代词指代前一句所提到的square dancing,故该空填代词it。
第三部分 写作(共两节,满分35分)
第一节 短文改错(每小题1分,满分10分)
英语课上,老师要求同桌同学相互修改作文。 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )假设以下短文为你同桌所写,请你对其进行修改。文中共有10处错误,每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。www.21-cn-jy.com

Hi_Worried,
I'm_sorry_to_know ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )_that_you're_having_such_a_bad_time_at_the_moment. The truth is that everyone will have one of those periods when things seem to be going wrong, so you don't have to worry much. The important thing is to learn to control your temper so that you may not do or say anything you'll regret. Here are three useful tips:【来源:21cnj*y.co*m】
First, talk to someone ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) you trust about how you feel. This is a good way of letting your anger out without hurting others or yourself. Second, go outdoors and play team games with your friends, as physical exercise is an effective way to get rid of anger. And third, remain optimistic about your future. Such a positive attitude towards life can be helpful in lifting your spirits.
I hope you'll soon feel calmer and carry on as normal.
Yours,

A
Ladybirds (瓢虫) didn't ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) have black spots on their backs at first. Then a storm broke out, and their famous guide, Caius Insectus, disappeared into the flood (洪水), and the few ladybirds who survived had to choose a new leader to guide them out of trouble. They decided that their new leader would be the first ladybird to successfully travel south to the Great Lake and return to describe it.
Many young ladybirds ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )moved off immediately into this adventure. One by one they returned and told of how beautiful the southern lake was at that time of year, with its clear waters and flowers. However, the last of the ladybirds was late in getting back. He hadn't managed to reach the lake. Everyone criticized (批评) him, and they prepared to continue their journey the next day.
Following their ne ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )w guide, they spent a morning walking northwards until they reached some tall thick grassland, where they stopped. There were no clear waters or flowers in front of them. The heavy rain had turned the place into a huge green puddle (水坑). Everyone understood what had happened. When the ladybirds had gone out looking for the lake, they had gone in the wrong direction. Now they could see that, except that one late ladybird, they had lied in order to get what they wanted.
And so, the late l ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ittle ladybird was made the Great Guide. They also decided that every time one of them was discovered lying they would paint a black spot on that ladybirD s back. From then on, when a ladybird looks at another's back, it can tell whether that ladybird can be trusted.

When it comes to the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )reason why those people are fond of the foods and other products (产品) of Fresh Choice, I'm willing to share with you some information about that. Here I would like to show you a way to inspect its wonderful stories. So far, it has become popular among the public and has won great fame within a short period of time. Lots of people are crazy about this special restaurant and like to have a try.
Compared with other ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) famous companies that provide foods, it has enjoyed a quite short history, as it was created in 1986. However, it has some important characteristics that have led to its success.
First of all, mos ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t people are familiar with its natural farm produce. That is to say, this concept just lives_up_to the demands of environmental protection and balanced diets. In addition, Fresh Choice provides customers with all kinds of foods, including soups, desserts and all kinds of salads, along with many other delicious dishes. The most important thing is that all these foods contain enough nutrition, such as protein, vitamins and fiber.

C
Sooner or la ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ter, many families will face the situation of moving. The experience can be very bad for kids, who may not be a part of the decision to move and may not understand it. You can take steps to make the whole process (过程) easier for everyone.
Many kids like to stay ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) in familiar places. So as you consider a move, weigh the benefits of that change against the comfort that neighborhood, school, and social life give your kids. If your family has recently dealt with a big life change, such as death, you may want to put off a move to give your children time to accept the fact.
The decision to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )move may be out of your hands, perhaps because of a new job or money problems. Even if you're not happy about the move, try to keep a positive attitude to it. During the move, a parent's attitude can greatly influence kids.21·世纪*教育网
No matter what the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )results are, the most important way to prepare kids to move is to talk about it. Try to give your children as much information about the move as possible. You can ask kids to join in the planning such as house hunting or the search for a new school. This can make the change feel less like it's being forced on them. If you're moving across town, try to take your children to visit the new house and the new neighborhood.
A move can have ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )many problems, but good things also come from this kind of change. Your family might grow closer and you may learn more about each other by going through it together.
8.According to th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e passage kids may feel a move is a bad experience because ________.
A. they don't like the moving process
B. they may feel they're forced to do so
C. they think their parents don't care about them
D. they often feel lonely in a new school
答案与解析 B 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段说明的内容可知需要搬迁时父母应和孩子交流,以免他们认为他们是被迫要搬迁的。
9.In which situation does the writer advise to put off a move
A. The new neighborhood isn't safe.
B. The parents have money problems.
C. A family member has just died.
D. The kiD s birthday is coming.
答案与解析 C 细节理解题。根据第二段 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )中“If your family has recently dealt with a big life change, such as death, you may want to put off a move ...”一句可知答案。21教育名师原创作品
10.When making the move easier for kids ________ is most important.
A. letting them themselves choose a school
B. trying not to show them the bad parts of a move
C. telling them as much information as possible
D. promising to choose a new house with them
答案与解析 C 细节理解题。根据倒数 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )第二段中“Try to give your children as much information about the move as possible.”一句可知答案。A项和D项的说明和同一段中“You can ask kids to join in the planning such as house hunting or the search for a new school.”一句说明不吻合。

答案与解析 
语篇解读  本文是记叙文。Emma因为与父母分享了自己要作画的纸张,所以一再改变自己的作画计划。21教育网
16.B 下文多次出现的draw提示了本题的答案。
17.D Emma想要画只鹰,所以她“挑了(picked)”一支棕色的蜡笔。
18.B 见19题解析。
19.D 根据shopping list可推测,妈妈要去“商店(store)”,所以“需要(need)”写张购物清单。21*cnjy*com
20.D 根据下句妈妈问Emma要纸可知,妈妈现在“找(find)”不到纸写购物清单。
21.A 根据下文Emma撕纸的举动可知,她要给妈妈一半自己的纸,故此处用量词piece指代纸张。
22.B 本空前后的两个动作“折纸”和“撕纸”是顺接关系,故此处用and。
23.A 根据上下文都出现的h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )alf可知, Emma从“中间(middle)”把纸撕成两半。下文中的“tore it down the middle”也是提示。
24.C 根据上文内容可知,Emma帮了妈妈一个忙,所以此处是“妈妈(mother)”在道谢。
25.B 见下一题解析。
26.A Emma“看着(looked at)”自己剩下的一半纸,觉得纸太“小(small)”了,画不下一只鹰。【来源:21·世纪·教育·网】
27.B Emma决定画一只鹦鹉,所以从蜡笔“盒(box)”里拿出一支橘黄色的蜡笔。
28.C 根据上句中的on the phone可推测,爸爸需要写个“便条(message)”。
29.C Emma已经撕过一次自己的纸了,所以这里是指她看着自己有撕痕的“纸(paper)”。
30.D 根据下段中的“tore it down the middle”可知,Emma要给爸爸“一半(half)”纸。【出处:21教育名师】
31.B Emma“小心地(carefully)”把纸对折,然后一撕两半。上文中的carefully tore也是提示。
32.A Emma把一半纸“递给了(handed)”爸爸。
33.B Emma撕了两次纸,所以纸上有两个撕过的“边(edges)”。
34.C 根据上文内容可知,Em ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ma在把自己的纸分了一半给妈妈后决定画只鹦鹉,但是当她把剩下的纸又分给爸爸一半后,她留给自己的纸连“鹦鹉(parrot)”也画不下了。
35.A 下文画蝴蝶就是Emma想出来的“主意(idea)”。

I believe that through ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) my efforts, I can gain good learning results by having good learning habits.
答案与解析 
语篇解读 学习习惯如何影响学习结果呢?本文将从几个方面说明好的学习习惯的好处和对学习结果的影响。
36.which 这是一个非限制性定语从句,which引导非限制性定语从句代替前面整句话的内容。
37.including 本句已有谓语h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )elp,故该空应填非谓语,include 置于名词前使用现在分词形式,故填including“包括”
38.attitudes attitude ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )为可数名词,该空格前无不定冠词或表示数量“一”的不定代词,故该空填attitude的复数形式attitudes。
39.can as we can see “正如我们所能看出的”。
40.that so+形容词+that...“如此……以至于……”。
41.writing 介词by后加动名词作宾语,故该空填writing。
42.meaningful 该空所填词与空 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )格前面的形容词impressive并列作定语修饰不定代词something,故该空应填所给词的形容词形式meaningful“有意义的”。www.21-cn-jy.com
43.it 该空填代词作宾语,代替前面提到的一个好的学习习惯。故填代词it。
44.have 该空应填谓语,表现在的客观事实,应用一般现在时,填have。
45.on focces on “专心于……”。

第一节 (共10小题;每小题2分,满分20分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
In just eight months ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), my dog Toby had grown too big for our small apartment, so Mom sent him to GrandmA s farm. To comfort me, Mom got me a cat and I decided to train this cat.21*cnjy*com
First, I named him Wi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lbur. Next, I decided to train him not to make our apartment dirty. In order to train him to use the litter box my mother bought as his toilet, I followed him everywhere, watching for some sign that he wanted to go outside, just like I'd done with Toby. I waited and watched. But all that cat did was sleep. Pretty soon I fell asleep, too. When I woke up, I heard some noise from the box. I looked inside and found Wilbur in it on his own.
If a cat could do tha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t by himself easily, I figured that teaching him a few tricks would be a cinch. I set Wilbur down in front of me and said, “Sit”, pushing his back down gently, just like I'd done with Toby. However, he jumped away. This cat didn't know anything about taking orders.
Then I decide ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d to give him a bath. I'd washed Toby every Saturday. Strangely, at the sound of the running water, Wilbur began to lick (舔) himself. Mom saw what I was doing. “Oh, honey, cats don't need baths.” She looked at Wilbur. “See?” she said. “They clean themselves.”
When Wilbur finishe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d bathing, he made a strange noise, like a motor running, so I sat down to get a better listen. To my surprise, Wilbur moved to me, and jumped onto my legs. Toby never did that! Seeing that, Mom said, “You know, cats only do that when they really like you.”
I looked up at he ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r, then down at the cat and said, “Let me introduce Wilbur, Mom. He is my friend now.”
语篇解读 本文是记叙文。作者新养了一只猫并开始训练它,最终作者和猫成为了好朋友。
1.What did the author do for the cat
A. He gave the cat a name.
B. He bought the cat a box.
C. He freed the cat from the toilet.
D. He helped the cat clean himself.
答案与解析 A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“First, I named him Wilbur”可知答案。21教育网
2.The underlined ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )word “cinch” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.
A. boring thing B. simple thing
C. funny thing D. terrible thing
答案与解析 B 词义猜测题。根据本句中的ea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sily可推测,作者认为如果一只猫可以自己学会用专用的盒子上厕所的话,那么教他一些把戏也会是件“简单的事情”。
3.What did th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e author feel about Wilbur before he jumped onto his legs
A. He didn't think Wilbur could be friends with Toby.
B. He didn't think Wilbur would make a good pet.
C. He thought Wilbur was dirty.
D. He thought Wilbur was lazy.
答案与解析 B 推理判断 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )题。根据第二、三、四段内容,尤其是第二段中的“But all that cat did was sleep”和第三段中的“This cat didn't know anything about taking orders”可知, Wilbur并不配合作者的训练,因此作者一开始并不认为Wilbur会是一个好宠物。【来源:21cnj*y.co*m】
4.From the text we ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )know that Toby did all the following things EXCEPT ________.
A. doing some tricks
B. taking baths every Saturday
C. jumping onto the author's legs
D. giving signs when he wanted to go outside
答案与解析 C 细节理解题。根据倒数第 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )二段中的“To my surprise, Wilbur moved to me, and jumped onto my legs. Toby never did that”可知, Toby从来不会跳到作者腿上。21cnjy.com

Annie Wauneka smi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )led as she touched the medal. It was the presidential Medal of Freedom (总统自由勋章)! She was very proud to be the first Native American to get this award. It was given to her because of the Navajo people. A lot had changed because of her.2-1-c-n-j-y
Annie was born in 19 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )10 in Arizona. When Annie was 8 years old, her father sent her away to receive a good education — homes of Navajos were too spread to build schools near where people lived. That year, a terrible flu swept through her school. Some of the students died. Annie wasn't seriously affected, so she helped care for those who were sick. She said her interest in health work began to grow because of this early event in her life.
When she grew up, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Wauneka saw the poor health of many Navajo people. This troubled her, and she wanted to do something about it. In 1951, she ran for a seat on the tribal council (部落委员会). She won, and in fact, she served for 27 years.
From the start, she ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) pushed for better living conditions. Every year, many Navajos and others died from tuberculosis (肺结核), or TB. Wauneka fought to reduce the number of TB cases and deaths across the country. This was the main reason she won the Medal of Freedom in 1963.
Wauneka wanted ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )her people to take good care of their own health. She talked to them about health each week on the radio. And she wrote a dictionary of medical terms to help them talk to doctors and nurses that weren't Navajos.
Wauneka knew that e ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ducation was the key to a good future. First of all, she wanted Navajo children to have schools closer to where they lived. She knew from her own childhood experiences how hard it was to leave home at a young age.
Wauneka received the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )name “Legendary (传奇的) Mother of the Navajo Nation” from the tribal council in 1984. She could have stopped then, but of course she didn't. At the time of her death in 1997, her grandson said, “She made us proud to be Navajo.” Annie Wauneka would have smiled to hear him say that.
语篇解读 本文是记叙文。文章讲述了Annie Wauneka为纳瓦霍族人所做的贡献。
5.Annie Wauneka was sent away to study because ________.
A. her father wanted her to receive the best education
B. she wanted to stay away from Navajos
C. there was no school near her home
D. many Navajos went to that school
答案与解析 C 细节理解题。 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )根据第二段的“homes of Navajos were too spread to build schools near where people lived”可知,当时她被送出去读书是因为她家附近没有学校。
6.Which of the foll ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )owing is the CORRECT order of the events that happened to Annie Wauneka
a. won the Presidential Medal of Freedom
b. experienced a terrible flu
c. received the name “Legendary Mother of the Navajo Nation”
d. ran for a seat on the tribal council
A. b d a c B. a b d c
C. b c a d D. a d c b
答案与解析 A 细节理解题。a发生在1963年, b发生在Annie八岁那一年, c发生在1984年, d发生在1951年。
7.According to the text, Annie Wauneka ________.
A. once worked as a doctor
B. gave most of her attention to education
C. felt happy when she left home at 8
D. was highly thought of by her grandson
答案与解析 D 细节理解题。根据最后一段她孙子所说的话可知答案。

I had arrived at the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )airport about 30 minutes before the check in. It had been a very __16__ three days for me with lots of meetings. So I was glad to have the __17__ time to make my notes on what I __18__ to do the following day. But then came the __19__ that my flight had to be __20__ because there was a problem with the plane.
As I sat waiting fo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r my __21__ to be called, I reflected on my last meeting of the day.

答案与解析 
语篇解读 这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )作者在一次等飞机时领悟到经常停留一下,回顾生活中美好事情的重要性。这对现代社会中忙忙碌碌的人们有特别的意义。2·1·c·n·j·y
16.B 由“with lots of meetings”可知应是很繁忙的三天。
17.D 在办理登机手续前30分钟到 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )了机场,所以就有额外的时间来计划接下来需要做的事情。pleasant“令人愉快的;吸引人的”; satisfying“令人满意的”; valuable“很值钱的”; extra“额外的”。显然extra切合文意,能较好地把句子补充完整。【版权所有:21教育】
18.C 结合上下文,那三天由于一直忙于开会,“我”很乐于有时间计划接下来“需要”做的事情,need“需要”。
19.A 分析句意可知,这时机场发布了 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )一项通知。announcement“通知;宣告”。declaration“声明;宣言”; speech“演说”; opening“开放;开始”。
20.D 文中提到飞机出 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )了问题,带来的应是航班“延误”或者“取消”,但从下文可知,航班并没有被取消,所以B项cancelled(取消)错误。
21.A 飞机没有来。“我”坐在那 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )里应该是等待“航班”。flight“飞行;航班”。turn“转动;(依次轮到的)机会”; name“名字”; order“命令;次序”。
22.B 下文中出现了lunch,照应上文。理解全句,应为“那不是一个商务会议,而是与一个长达12年没见面的业务上的老朋友的愉快的午餐。”
23.C 分析句意,作者 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )要表述的是在午饭时做了什么,filling和recalling引导的短语是并列关系,需用as well as连接。as well“也;又”,多用于句末; except for“除……以外”; in addition“另外”。
24.D 句意:想到以前我们一起度过的快乐时光和美好的经历,我们都很开心。share“分享;共有”,可以构成完整的句意。
25.B 由“we must do ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) it again”可知,我们当然很满意那天的聚会。分析四个选项的意思,只有enjoy“喜欢;满意”合适。pay“付费”; get“理解;明白”; make“获得成功”,均与句意不符。
26.D 句意:有这样一个额外的时间来回想我们的对话实在是太好了。回想当然应是在大脑中,所以mind“头脑;心思”符合文意。
27.C 此处说的是作者的感受, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )强调这次谈话对作者的影响。reminder“提醒人的事物;引起回忆的事物”,符合语境。time“时间”; plan“计划”; remains“残余物;遗迹”。
28.D 从上下文可知,显然作者认 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )为自己很幸运,有这样一个机会来放松并回忆过去12年的快乐时光。break恰好能与take搭配,take a break“放松;休息”。
29.A 句意:这就有点像 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )是在看保存在你家橱柜里的老相册一样。因此store away符合句意。store away“收存;保存”; put on“穿上”; set aside“留出;暂不考虑”; give out“公布;用尽”。
30.B 看着相册,展现在眼前的应是许多精彩的“回忆”。
31.D 句意:呈现在你眼前的 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )是许多精彩的回忆,它们带你回到过去的时光和场景,更重要的是,它们让你想起照片中的那些人。上文提到了“photo album”显然说的是“照片”中的人物。
32.C 由第21空后的to be called可知。
33.B 飞机来了,当然要登机了,board the plane“登机”,为正确答案。
34.A 通读整篇文章可知作者这时的心情应是 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )很愉快的。此处意为:我微笑着登上飞机,对于飞机的晚点一点儿也不心烦意乱。结合句意,upset符合语境。
35.C 作者心情好的原因应是“有时 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )间去回顾那些逝去的好时光”。第二段和第三段都用到了reflect on这个短语,意思是“回忆;反思”。take on“呈现”; seize on“把握”; bring on“使发展;导致(通常指坏事);促使提高”。
第二节 语法填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(不多于3个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
When I was 8 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) years old, I once decided to run away from home. With my suitcase packed and some sandwiches in a bag, I started for the front door and said to Mom, “I __36__ (leave).” 21教育名师原创作品
“If you want ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to run away, that's all right,” she said. “But you came into this home __37__ anything and you can leave the same way.” I threw my suitcase and sandwiches on the floor heavily and started for the door again.
“Wait a minute,” M ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )om said. “I want your __38__ back. You didn't wear anything when you arrived.” This really angered(激怒) me. I took my clothes off — shoes, socks, underwear and all — and shouted, “Can I go now?” “Yes,” Mom answered, “but once you close that door, don't expect __39__ (come) back.”
I was so angry that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) I slammed (砰地关上) the door and stepped out on the front porch. __40__ (sudden) I realized that I was outside, with nothing on. Then I noticed that two girls were walking toward our house. I ran to hide behind a big tree in our yard at once. After a while, I was sure the girls __41__ (pass) by. Then I dashed to the front door and banged on it loudly.
“Who's there?” I heard.
“It's Billy! Let me in!”
The voice behind __4 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )2__ door answered, “Billy doesn't live here anymore. He ran away from home.” __43__ (glance) behind me to see if anyone else was coming, I begged, “Aw, come on, Mom! I'm still your son. Let me __44__!”
The door opened and ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Mom's smiling face appeared. “Did you change your __45__ (decide) about running away?” she asked.
“What's for supper?” I answered.
答案与解析 
36.am leaving/will lea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ve 根据语境“作者收拾好行李,准备离开家,和妈妈说‘我要走了’”,可知,该空动作表将来,用现在进行时表将来或will do。
37.without 根据语境“但是你一无所有的来到这个家”可知该空填介词without。
38.clothes 根据下文语境“脱衣服”可知,该空填clothes。
39.to come 根据动词expect的用法expect to do sth.“期盼做某事”可知该空填to come。
40.Suddenly 设空处所填词在句中作状语,应用副词形式,故填Suddenly。
41.had passed 根据语境可知“女孩走过去”是发生在was sure之前的动作,表“过去的过去”,应用过去完成时。
42.the the door“门”。
43.Glancing 主句主语I与glance为主动关系,应用现在分词形式作状语。
44.in let ... in“让某人进去”。
45.decision 根据设空前的物主代词your可知该空填decide的名词decision。

第一节 (共10小题;每小题2分,满分20分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
In the supermarke ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t my daughter ran over to me with a DVD in her hand. “Mum! Hotel for Dogs is out. Can we get it?”
“Of course, but you must use your own money,” I said.
She looked at the price and put it back.
Usually my kids ar ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e happy to spend my money, but are much more careful when it comes to putting_their_hands_in_their_own_pockets. I like to think this is because they have earned their money and it therefore has a value to them.
My children's pocket m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oney is reward based. They each have certain weekly jobs: they clean their rooms, organize their clothes and clear the table. There are things that we need to pay attention to while rewarding children: the rules need to be clear, transparent (透明的) and very fair. And I don't want money to be connected in their minds with the giving of love.
Therefore, my chi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ldren's pocket money is not based on them “being good”. It is too difficult to be good for most normal children all day, every day for a full week.21教育网
I also don't belie ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ve in paying my children to be kind and well mannered. This is something we expect from them as part of our family and as little human beings. As a reward for good behavior such as going to bed on time, I'd rather use a reward based activity or experience that is done together: ice skating or a cinema trip instead of money. Punishments for bad behavior will usually be not allowing them to play.
I really wan ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t to teach my children good money management skills, and I believe allowing them to earn and spend their own pocket money is a great place to start.
语篇解读 本文是议论文。文章讨论了该如何给孩子零用钱。
1.The example at the beginning of the text serves as a(n) ________.
A. comment B. conclusion
C. introduction D. background
答案与解析 C 推理判断题。文章一开始举在超市购物的例子是为了引出下文作者要讨论的话题。
2.The underline ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d phrase “putting their hands in their own pockets” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to “________”.21·cn·jy·com
A. earning money by themselves
B. spending their own money
C. visiting the supermarket
D. doing certain jobs
答案与解析 B 词义猜测题。画线短语前的 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )“Usually my kids are happy to spend my money”与画线短语所在的句子形成对比,孩子们在花“我”的钱时很高兴,但是花他们自己的钱时却格外小心。
3.The author holds the view that ________.
A. kids should earn their pocket money
B. kids should learn how to give love
C. parents should set an example to their kids
D. parents should help manage their kids' money
答案与解析 A 推理判断题。根据第四段 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )最后一句以及第五段的“My children's pocket money is reward based ... clear the table”可知,作者赞成孩子们应该自己去挣他们的零用钱,这样他们才会更珍惜。

Nonverbal Communication
When you are in anot ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )her country, it is important to know the language, but it is equally important to know how to communicate nonverbally (不用言语地). Before saying anything, people communicate nonverbally by making gestures. According to an investigation (调查), only 30 to 35 percent of our communication is verbal. When people don't know the language, the most common way to communicate is through gestures. However, many gestures have different meanings, or no meaning at all, in different parts of the world.21*cnjy*com
In the United ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )States, for example, nodding your head up and down means “yes”. In some parts of Greece and Turkey, however, this motion can mean “no”. In Southeast Asia, nodding your head is a polite way of saying “I've heard you.”2-1-c-n-j-y
In ancient Rome, wh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )en the emperor wanted to spare someone's life, he would put his thumb up. Today in the United States, when someone puts his/her thumb up, it means “Everything is all right.” However, in Sardinia and Greece, the gesture is insulting and should not be used there.
In the United State ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s, raising your clasped (握紧的) hands above your head means “I'm the champion” or “I'm the winner”. It is the sign that prizefighters make when they win a fight. When a leading Russian statesman (政治家) made this gesture after a White House meeting, Americans misunderstood and thought he meant he was a winner. In Russia, however, it is a sign of friendship.
There are other nonv ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )erbal signals that people should be aware of when they go to another country, such as the distance to maintain between speakers. Americans stand closer to each other than English people. English people don't like touching somebody or being touched. Now in America, touch is important. For example, friends touch each other on the arm. They often put an arm around a friend when they say “hello” or “goodbye”.
4.It is very importan ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t to know how to communicate nonverbally when you are in another country because ________.
A. most people speak different languages
B. much of our communication is nonverbal on many occasions
C. people usually make gestures before saying anything
D. it's easy to learn how to express oneself through gestures
答案与解析 B 推理判断题。由第一段第 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )三句“According to an investigation (调查), only 30 to 35 percent of our communication is verbal”可知。【出处:21教育名师】
5.If a native in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Singapore nods his head up and down when you talk to him, his motion means ________.
A. yes B. no
C. that's all right D. I've heard you
答案与解析 D 细节理解题。新加坡 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )属于东南亚。由第二段最后一句“In Southeast Asia, nodding your head is a polite way of saying ‘I've heard you’”可知。
6.When the Russi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )an leader put up his clasped hands after the meeting at the White House ________.
A. he meant Russia was the winner
B. he was insulting America
C. he made a show of friendship to America
D. he in fact meant nothing at all
答案与解析 C 细节理解题。由倒数第二段 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )最后一句“In Russia, however, it is a sign of friendship”可知。
7.The gesture of pu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tting one's thumb up should not be used when you are travelling in ________.
A. China B. the United States
C. Greece D. Southeast Asia
答案与解析 C 细节理解题。由第三段最后一句可知,在希腊这个手势是侮辱性的,因而不能使用。
C
Why buy art To ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) answer this question, ask yourself what your reasons are for thinking of getting a piece of art. An artwork can cost a large amount of money, but if it meets your needs, it's worth every penny. Anyone can buy art for almost any reason. Many people buy an artwork simply because they like it, even if the artwork may be created by an unknown artist. Art, as long as you enjoy it, is never a waste of money.
Art Is for Enjoyment
Art is meant to be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) shown. Don't ever feel pressured to buy something you won't enjoy looking at day after day, no matter what other people may say. Don't buy something that doesn't attract you just because it is trendy (时髦的), or because the artwork will make a good investment. If you don't like the artwork at all, don't buy it!
Art Improves Your Environment
Have you ever noticed ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )that all beautiful homes have art as an integral (不可或缺的) part of the decoration Art lends life and color to otherwise plain and ordinary walls. A well thought out art collection will help create a unique ambience (气氛) in your home and make it more attractive.
Art Makes a Statement
The kind of art ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )you surround yourself with says much about your personality, tastes and values. Art_truly_is_a_mirror_of_the_soul.
Art Enriches Your Life
Love — even ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the love of an activity or an inanimate object, such as a work of art — contributes to healthier living and a longer lifespan (寿命). Art should enrich your life. Otherwise, why do you spend precious time and resources on it
Just remember to selec ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t something that will appeal to your tastes, and keep to a sensible budget. Good art needn't cost an arm and a leg.
Happy art collecting!
语篇解读 本文介绍了收集艺术品的好处。
8.According to the a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uthor, what should you consider when buying a piece of art
A. Whether it brings pleasure to you.
B. Whether it is fashionable at present.

答案与解析 
语篇解读 美国纽约的一个偷车贼把车上的面包随机送给了陌生人。这个新的习语“送面包给陌生人”是否与旧习语“与朋友分面包”有什么相同之处呢?
36.whom/who/th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at 这是个定语从句,空格前的先行词是the people,空格后的从句中缺少宾语,故用关系代词whom/who/that 引导定语从句。
37.to create 根据conv ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ince的用法convince sb. to do sth. “说服某人做某事”可知该空填不定式to create。
38.gave 该句缺少谓语,又全文时态为一般过去式,故该空应填一般过去时态gave。
39.was located be located in sp.“位于某地”在该句作谓语,又全文时态为一般过去式,故该空应填一般过去时态。

41.running 分析句 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )子结构可知该空缺少非谓语。run与其逻辑主语the delivery truck 为主动关系,故用现在分词形式作宾语补足语。
42.a a number of “许多;大量的”,是固定的短语。
43.astonishing 空格后是名词thing,应用形容词修饰,故填astonishing“令人吃惊的”。www.21-cn-jy.com
44.finally 所填词在句中作作状语修饰谓语应用副词形式,故填形容词final 的副词形式finally“最后;终于”。
45.whether/if 空 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )格及后面的从句为动词check的宾语,从句在结构上完整,但意义上缺少“是否”,故用whether/if引导宾语从句。

单元测评(三) Unit 3 A taste of English humour
(时间:90分钟 满分:110分)
第一部分 阅读理解(共两节;满分30分)
第一节 (共10小题;每小题2分,满分20分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
I have heard havin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g a good sense of humour often helps in breaking the ice. Also people remember you because of your humour. But I think I don't have a very good sense of humour. Could you suggest how to build on this
— Radha Karnik
This is a great q ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uestion that is unfortunately difficult to answer. I can only give you my views on this topic, which may or may not be correct. I know that my sense of humour developed over time.21·cn·jy·com
When I was younger ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )I was not funny at all; now I can easily make people laugh. At the same time, sometimes I say things that I think are very funny but others do not. Improving wit and humour, I believe, is an ongoing process.www-2-1-cnjy-com
Now, there are v ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )arious forms of humour and everyone has their individual style. Overall, I believe being fluent in a language is very important for being witty or funny. The way we play around with words adds the “funny” tag to an otherwise normal sentence.
Also, seeing ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) irony is very important. I think humour is often the link between two unrelated things.
In my experience, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) laughing frequently and appreciating other people's jokes and wit are very important. Within these, finding humour in everyday normal situations is the key.
I often notice w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hat is going on around me and say funny things in my head and laugh to myself. That serves almost as practice for when I am in a group. I watch comedy shows and movies and I am sure that has some effects on helping me improve my sense of humour. And last, having confidence that you are witty is important. There will always be someone wittier or funnier than you, which is fine. Just work on building your own style.
Remember, if you ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) are trying to be funny and witty in order to break the ice at a business function, be careful. In those situations, humour has to be mild and politically correct.
Yours,
Brad

Mr. Bean is an in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ternationally recognized comedy character on TV and in films. He always gets into awkward and absurd (荒谬的) situations, which greatly amuses audience regardless of their nationality or culture. The humour is always made clear through a series of simple and funny acts that rely simply on body language.www.21-cn-jy.com
One of my favourite ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )shows is Mr. Bean in a restaurant. After being seated at his table, Mr. Bean takes out a card, writes a few words on it, seals (密封) it in an envelope and places it on the table. After a moment, he looks back at the envelope but this time he looks surprised, as if he did not know it was there. He opens it to find a birthday card and happily puts it on the table for everyone to see.【来源:21cnj*y.co*m】
When he looks at ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the menu, a surprised look quickly appears on his face. He takes all the money out of his wallet, counts it and puts it in a saucer (茶托). He then looks from the menu to the money with concern until he finds one thing that makes him smile. Then he orders a dish called “steak tartare”. When the dish arrives, he is shocked to discover that “steak tartare” is actually raw hamburger. He makes an attempt to eat it, but it is clear from the look on his face that he finds the taste truly disgusting. He can't hide his feelings, except when a waiter asks if everything is all right. When this happens, he smiles and nods, showing that everything is fine. When the waiters are not looking, however, he hides the raw meat anywhere he can reach — the sugar bowl, the tiny flower vase, and under a plate. He becomes so desperate (孤注一掷的) in the end that he even hides some inside the purse of a woman sitting near him and throws some down the trousers of the restaurant's violinist!21教育名师原创作品
I like to watch Mr. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Bean on TV, but I wouldn't like to meet someone like him in real life and I certainly wouldn't like to have dinner with him!

6.Why does Mr. Bean pretend to smile in front of the waiter
A. Because he doesn't want the waiter to feel bad.
B. Because he doesn't want to say bad things.
C. Because he likes to express himself in the opposite way.
D. Because he thinks the waiter dislikes him.
答案与解析 A 推理判断题。当服务员询问时,憨豆先生设法掩盖自己的真实感受,由此可推断,他这样做是不想让服务员感到尴尬。
C
I will always remember my mother's last few days in this world.
On February 14 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )th, 2000, my class went on a field trip to the beach. I had so much fun. When we returned to school, my teacher told me to go to the headmaster's office.

I knew I had to say goodbye.

My mother was an angel walking on the earth. I will always remember her as living. When someone is asked who their hero is, they usually say someone famous, like Michael Jordan or Britney Spears. When someone asks me who my hero is, I tell them, my mother. My mother lives every day. That is what makes her a true hero.

Change the World
I want the world ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to be a better one because I am in it. However, “change the world” isn't easy. Here are some great ways to change it for the better.
Smile At Everyone.
__11__ Smile ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) at people — the folks on the bus, or the receptionist at the office, for instance.

Take it further: Give out free hugs.
Write a Letter to Someone You Love.

答案与解析 
语篇解读 本文为一篇记叙文。母亲以实际行动教育孩子要以宽大的胸怀和无私的爱心善待那些曾经伤害过自己的人。【来源:21·世纪·教育·网】
16.B 由“walked over to the scale”可知,Chase忙于称母亲选好的每一袋蔬菜。
17.C 作者递给他一袋西红柿。hand在此用作动词,表示“递;交”。
18.B Chase走到称重处,耐心地排队等待称重。patiently表示“耐心地”。
19.A 由“that man cut right in front of me”可知,before(在……前面)切题。
20.A 这位老人突然插队,Chase感到 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )震惊和害怕。shocked意为“感到震惊的”,符合语境。excited“感到兴奋的”; delighted“感到高兴的”; touched“感动的”。
21.D 作者当时在超市购物,可见她推着购物车(shopping cart)。
22.D finish doing sth.“做完某事”。
23.C 洋葱掉在了地板(floor)上。

27.D 孩子受了委屈,故他是眼泪汪汪地说这番话的。
28.D 那个男人似乎今天心情很不好。mood意为“心情”,符合语境。
29.C 由上文可知,作者对那个男人的行为应该感到气愤。
30.C 从19空所在句可以看出那个男人对待小男孩很粗暴。
31.A 作者真想踢他一下,但那样做没有任何意义。make sense“有意义;讲得通”,符合语境。2-1-c-n-j-y

第二节 语法填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(不多于3个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
One day, a tra ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mp (流浪汉) was sleeping on a park bench, __36__ (satisfy) with the afternoon sunshine. A couple walked by. The man stopped, woke the tramp up, and asked him, “Excuse me. __37__ you have the time?” the tramp replied, “I'm sorry — I don't have a watch, so I don't know the time.” The man apologized and walked away with his wife.
The tramp lay d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )own and went back to sleep. Just then, a woman, __38__ was out walking her dog, shook the tramp's shoulder until he woke up, __39__ said, “I'm sorry to trouble you, but do you happen __40__ (know) the time?” The tramp was a little angry at __41__ (wake) up again, but he politely told the woman he didn't have a watch and had no idea __42__ the time. After the woman left, an idea __43__ (occur) to the tramp. He opened his bag and took out a pen and a piece of paper. He wrote down with all his __44__ (strong), “I do not have a watch. I do not know the time.” He then hung the paper round his neck thinking that nobody would hold him back in his sleep. Fifteen minutes later, a policeman noticed the tramp and the sign around his neck. Out of __45__ sense of duty, he woke the tramp up and said, “It's 2:30 p.m.”
答案与解析 
36.satisfied satisfied“满意的”,在句中为形容词作状语。
37.Do 该空应填助动词Do,构成一般疑问句。
38.who 这是一个非限制性定语从句,先行词是a woman,设空后的从句中缺少主语,故用关系代词who引导定语从句。
39.and 该句中动词shook与said为并列的动作,应用并列连词and连接。
40.to know 根据happen的用法happen to do sth.“碰巧做某事”可知该空填不定式。
41.being woken 介词a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t后应接动名词作宾语,又wake与其逻辑主语the tramp为被动关系,故用being done形式作宾语,填being woken。
42.of have no idea of sth.“不知道某事”。
43.occurred 所填词在句中作谓语,且根据全文的整体时态(一般过去时)可知该空应用一般过去时,填occurred。
44.strength 根据设空前 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )的物主代词his可知该空应用名词。strong的名词是strength。with one's strength“全力地”。
45.a a sense of duty“一种责任感”。
