Sweetest Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in October as a day to make someone happy. It is an occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick, the aged, and children who have lost their parents, but also friends, workmates, relatives and neighbours whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed.
Over 60 years ago, when a Cleveland man noticed that some people, such as children who lost their parents and patients who lay in bed, too often felt forgotten and neglected, he developed in his mind the idea of showing them that they were remembered. He did this by giving them small gifts. With the help of his friends and neighbours, he gave those people small gifts on a Saturday in October. During the years that followed, other Clevelanders began to take part in the celebration, which came to be called “Sweetest Day”. Over time, the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the poor, the sick and children who had lost their parents was broadened to include everyone, and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small gift. Soon the idea spread to other cities all over the USA.
Sweetest Day is not based on any single group’s religious beliefs or on a family relationship. It is a reminder that a thoughtful word or deed enriches life and gives it meaning. Because many people remember taking the form of gift giving, Sweetest Day offers us the opportunity to show others that we care, in a positive way.
16. Which of the following has little relationship to Sweetest Day
A. Visiting sick people of the hospital.
B. Visiting children who have lost their parents.
C. Giving friends small gifts.
D. Giving flowers to sweethearts.
17. How did the Sweetest Day appear
A A Cleveland man was inspired after seeing other’s suffering
B. The nurses in the hospital thought of it.
C. The poor people on the street begged for it.
D. Children with sick parents came up with the idea.
18. The underlined word “neglected” in the second paragraph means “________”.
A. remembered
B. hated
C. paid little or no attention to
D. disappointed
19. What do most people usually do to show their care to others according to the passage
A. They give money. B. They give gifts.
C. They send regards. D. They offer help.
20. Where may the article be taken from
A. A text book B. A science book
C. A guide book D. A magazine
B
It’s believed by British people that they are very aware of each other’s social rank. Britons can usually work out a fellow countryman’s background from the way they speak or dress, and may even treat them differently based on this. But although this may have been truer in the past than it is today, visitors to Britain say that they still notice it. The comic play Pygmalion(1913), by the Irishman George Bernard Shaw (1856—1950), is a famous exploration of the importance of social rank in British society.
The main story of the play concerns a working class girl, Eliza Doolittle, a flower seller from London. Two upper class gentlemen try to see if they can get Doolittle to appear like an upper class lady after sending her for elocution lessons. Professor Henry Higgins, a language expert, says it can be done; his friend Colonel Pickering says that it’s impossible. Even so, Higgins sets out to teach Eliza how to “speak properly”.
Of course, Eliza isn’t a lump of clay; she has her own will. She can see that it’ s in her best interest to go along with Higgins’ plan to “improve herself” . She wants to be able to sell flowers in a shop rather than on the street. After the training, Eliza proves that a flower girl can pass herself off as a lady at a ball. She is a triumph (赢家), and Higgins has won his bet.
But what happens next Eliza has her future to worry about. She may be able to fool the upper class into thinking she’s one of them, but she isn’t really one of them.
Shaw seems to be telling us that social rank is about more than the way someone talks—it’s about wealth and privilege. The whole experiment proves the idea that accents and classes are very superficial (肤浅的). The ways one speaks and dresses are only markers of class. The class system itself, however, is something completely different.
21. What can we learn about speaking and dressing from Paragraph 1
A. They decide Britons’ social rank.
B. Britons are stricter in them nowadays.
C. Britons don’t care about them any longer.
D. They could influence others’ impression of a person.
22. What is the meaning of the underlined word “elocution”
A Dress. B. Manners.
C. Speech. D. Dance.
23. What happens to Eliza Doolittle during the experiment
A. She is asked to give up selling flowers on the street.
B. She is unsatisfied to take part in the experiment.
C. She is regarded as an upper class lady at the hall.
D. She is hopeful about her future.
24. Which words can describe Eliza
A. rude and superficial B. pretty and reserved
C. generous and optimistic D. wise and beautiful
25. Which of the following would Shaw probably agree with
A. After receiving training one can enter the upper class.
B. People should try their best to improve their accents.
C. The way people speak greatly affects their social status.
D. Social rank can’t be easily judged by dressing or speaking.

A. much more fond B. much fond C. very fonder D. too more fond

2. She is out on Sundays.
A. almost B. mostly C. most D. the most
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查副词词义辨析。句意:她星期天多半不在家。A. almost几乎,差不多;B. mostly多半;C. most最多;D. the most最……。由“out on Sundays”可知,句子描述的是她在星期天的习惯性动作,也就是多半不在家,空格处意为“多半”,故选B。
3. It may rain, but I shall go out_________.
A. somehow B. anyhow C. somewhat D. anywhere
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查副词词义辨析。句意:可能下雨,但我不管怎样还是要出去。A. somehow不知怎么回事;B. anyhow不管怎样;C. somewhat有一点;D. anywhere任何地方。根据but表示转折关系,说明不管怎样还是要出去。故选B。

A. didn’t he know B. had he known
C hadn’t he known D. did he know
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查部分倒装。句意:直到史密斯先生来了中国,他才知道中国是个怎样的国家。not until…等具有否定意义的词或词组位于句首时,句子用部分倒装,要将谓语的一部分,如助动词或情态动词,倒装至主语之前,而谓语动词无变化,根据句中的came可知本句是陈述过去的事实,“来到中国”和“明白中国是个怎么样的国家”这两个动作都发生在过去,且无时间对比,故空格处用一般过去时;not until...表示“直到……才”,故主句用肯定形式。故选D。
5. So badly in the accident that he was sent to a hospital.
A did he hurt B. he was hurt C. was he hurt D. be did hurt
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查倒装句。句意:他在事故中伤得很重,被送进了医院。分析句子结构可知,此处为固定句型“so+adv.+that...”结构,其中“so+adv.”位于句首时,句子使用部分倒装;根据从句中的谓语动词was sent可知,此处应使用一般过去时,且hurt与主语he之间为被动关系,且主语为第三人称单数,所以谓语动词应为was hurt,该句使用部分倒装,应将was提至主语he之前,即was he hurt。故选C项。
6. about the universe up till now.
A. So little had me known B. Only a little do we know
C. Very little have we known D. Little shall we know
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查倒装句。句意:到目前为止,我们对宇宙所知甚少。根据时间状语up till now可知,此处应为现在完成时,表示否定意义的little位于句首时,句子使用部分倒装,即将助动词have提至主语we之前。故选C项。
7. unless I call you.
A Please come B. Not come in C. Don’t come in D. Come in
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查祈使句。句意:我不喊你,不要进来。分析句子结构可知,unless引导的条件状语从句,所以空处应为主句,结合句意可知,此处表示“不要进来”符合逻辑,应为祈使句Don’t come in。故选C项。
8. Do you mind _________ alone home
A. Jane leaving B. Jane having left
C. Jane’s being left D. Jane to be left
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查动名词的复合结构作宾语。句意:你介意简被独自留在家里吗?mind后只能接动名词形式,且Jane与leave之间是被动关系。此处用“名词所有格+动名词的被动语态”结构作宾语。故选C项。
9. I’d rather he tomorrow afternoon.
A. will come B. comers C. coming D. came
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查虚拟语气。句意:我宁愿他明天下午来。句中I’d是I would的缩写,结合语意可知,宁愿他明天下午来,但是事实并非如此,本句中would rather后从句应用虚拟语气,应用一般过去时,表示与将来的愿望相反的假设,动词使用过去式形式came。故选D。
10. —Do you have clothes ________ I’ll wash them for you.
—No, thank you. I’ll wash them myself.
A. to be washed B. to wash C. washing D. being washed
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词和被动语态。句意:——你有衣服要洗吗?我给你洗衣服。——没有,谢谢。我自己洗。分析句子可知,wash作宾语补足语,由后半句“l will wash them for you”可知,you不是wash的逻辑主语,且“衣服将要被洗”,因此用不定式的被动式to be washed。故选A。
11. This is the bag I lost yesterday, but it’s not mine.
A. same; as B. same; that C. very; that D. such; as
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:这个包和昨天丢的一样,但不是我的。此处I lost yesterday为定语从句修饰先行词bag,从句缺少宾语,根据后文but it’s not mine.可知不是同一物,应用the same…as…。故选A。
12. The sun shines brightly in the sky us light and heat.
A. that give B. having given C. to give D. giving
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:太阳在天空中明亮地照耀着,给我们光和热。主语为the sun与动词之间为主谓关系,因此需要用现在分词。故选D。
13. It is the third time ____ late this month.
A. that you arrived B. when you arrived
C. that you’ve arrived D. when you’ve arrived
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查时态:句意:这是对你这星期第三次迟到。It is +the+序数词+time+that从句,表示“某人第几次做某事”,从句中的谓语用现在完成时。故选D。
14. He gets up early and reads English aloud, he has greatly improved his English.
A. on the way B. by the way C. in this way D. in this means
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语辨析。句意:他早起大声朗读英语,这样他的英语水平有了很大的提高。A. on the way在路上;B. by the way顺便说一下;C. in this way用这种方法;D. in this means没有这个搭配。“He gets up early and reads English aloud(他早起大声朗读英语)”是他英语水平提高的一种方法,因此空格处是“用这种方法”,故选C。
15. In the cinema, there was an old man beside me.
A. at B. sit C. sitting D. to sit
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:在电影院里,有一位老人坐在我旁边。分析句子结构可知sit与逻辑主语man构成主动关系,故用现在分词作定语;at与beside均为介词,不能连用。故选C。

Sweetest Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in October as a day to make someone happy. It is an occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick, the aged, and children who have lost their parents, but also friends, workmates, relatives and neighbours whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed.
Over 60 years ago, when a Cleveland man noticed that some people, such as children who lost their parents and patients who lay in bed, too often felt forgotten and neglected, he developed in his mind the idea of showing them that they were remembered. He did this by giving them small gifts. With the help of his friends and neighbours, he gave those people small gifts on a Saturday in October. During the years that followed, other Clevelanders began to take part in the celebration, which came to be called “Sweetest Day”. Over time, the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the poor, the sick and children who had lost their parents was broadened to include everyone, and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small gift. Soon the idea spread to other cities all over the USA.
Sweetest Day is not based on any single group’s religious beliefs or on a family relationship. It is a reminder that a thoughtful word or deed enriches life and gives it meaning. Because many people remember taking the form of gift giving, Sweetest Day offers us the opportunity to show others that we care, in a positive way.

17. How did the Sweetest Day appear
A. A Cleveland man was inspired after seeing other’s suffering

【答案】16. D 17. A 18. C 19. B 20. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍的是Sweetest Day的来历和意义。
【16题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Over time, the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the poor, the sick and children who had lost their parents was broadened to include everyone, and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small gift.(随着时间的推移,向穷人、病人和失去父母的孩子们传播欢乐的最甜蜜的节日的想法扩大到包括所有人,并成为一个用善意的行为或小礼物来纪念他人的场合。)”可知,和Sweetest Day关系不大的是给爱人送花。故选D。
【17题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“Over 60 years ago, when a Cleveland man noticed that some people, such as children who lost their parents and patients who lay in bed, too often felt forgotten and, he developed in his mind the idea of showing them that they were remembered.(60多年前,当一个克利夫兰人注意到有些人,比如失去父母的孩子和躺在床上的病人,经常感到被遗忘和忽视时,他在脑海中产生了一个想法,让他们知道他们是被记住的。)”可知,Sweetest Day是一名Cleveland男子在看到别人的痛苦后受到了启发而产生的,故选A。
【18题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段的“some people, such as children who lost their parents and patients who lay in bed, too often felt forgotten(有些人,比如失去父母的孩子和躺在床上的病人,经常感到被遗忘)”及常识可知,失去父母的孩子和躺在床上的病人经常会觉得被忽视了,也就是没人注意他们,划线词“neglected”的意思是“忽视”,也就是很少注意,和C选项“paid little or no attention to(很少或根本不注意)”意思相近。故选C。
【19题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Over time, the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the poor, the sick and children who had lost their parents was broadened to include everyone, and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small gift.(随着时间的推移,向穷人、病人和失去父母的孩子们传播欢乐的最甜蜜的节日的想法扩大到包括所有人,并成为一个用善意的行为或小礼物来纪念他人的场合。)”可知,大多数人通常会通过送礼物来表达他们对别人的关心,故选B。
【20题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第一段的“Sweetest Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in October as a day to make someone happy. It is an occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick, the aged, and children who have lost their parents, but also friends, workmates, relatives and neighbours whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed.(Sweetest Day是在十月的第三个星期六庆祝,这是一个让人快乐的日子。这是一个让我们所有人都有机会记住的场合,不仅是病人、老人和失去父母的孩子,还有朋友、同事、亲戚和邻居,他们的帮助和善良让我们享受。)”可知,本文介绍的是Sweetest Day的来历和意义,可能是来自于一本杂志,故选D。

It’s believed by British people that they are very aware of each other’s social rank. Britons can usually work out a fellow countryman’s background from the way they speak or dress, and may even treat them differently based on this. But although this may have been truer in the past than it is today, visitors to Britain say that they still notice it. The comic play Pygmalion(1913), by the Irishman George Bernard Shaw (1856—1950), is a famous exploration of the importance of social rank in British society.

【答案】21. D 22. C 23. C 24. D 25. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要讲述的是在英国讲话和穿衣会影响人们对一个人的看法,文章通过戏剧 Pygmalion 中的故事说明不能通过穿衣或说话来判断一个人的社会地位。
【21题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Britons can usually work out a fellow countryman’s background from the way they speak or dress, and may even treat them differently based on this.(英国人通常可以从一个人的说话或穿着方式判断出他的背景,甚至可能因此对他区别对待。)”可知,英国人经常通过人们的说话和穿着判断一个人的社会地位和背景,由此可推断讲话和穿衣会影响人们对一个人的看法。故选D项。
【22题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段的“Even so, Higgins sets out to teach Eliza how to “speak properly”(即便如此,希金斯还是开始教伊丽莎如何“正确地说话”。)”可知,这两位绅士要让 Eliza学习得体地说话,即语言艺术课,画线词语 elocution 和 speech同义。故选C项。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“After the training, Eliza proves that a flower girl can pass herself off as a lady at a ball. She is a triumph (赢家), and Higgins has won his bet.(经过训练,伊莉莎证明了卖花女可以在舞会上假扮淑女。她是一个胜利,希金斯赢了他的赌注。)”可知,Eliza通过训练后,在舞会上被认为是上流社会的淑女。故选C项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了雨林在人们生活中的重要作用,它们能吸收太阳的热量并调节地球上的气候,还能提供一些药材为人类治病。因此,我们受保护雨林,不要滥垦滥伐。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:热带雨林是指被高大树木覆盖的地区,全年的总降雨量相当平均,气温很少低于16℃。句中谓语是is,空格处用非谓语动词作后置定语,由by可知,空格处用过去分词表被动,故填covered。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意:如果没有森林覆盖,这些地区将把更多的热量反射到大气中,使世界其他地区变暖。由“the forest cover, these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere”及常识可知,句子表示“如果没有森林覆盖,这些地区将把更多的热量反射到大气中”,空格处意为“没有”,用介词without,位于句首,首字母大写,故填Without。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:如果没有森林覆盖,这些地区将把更多的热量反射到大气中,使世界其他地区变暖。句中谓语是would reflect,空格处用非谓语动词,空后是一种必然的结果,因此用现在分词作结果状语,故填warming。
【44题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:在过去的一百年里,人类为了寻找三种主要资源而开始破坏雨林:种植作物的土地,造纸和其他产品的木材,饲养牲畜的土地。由In the past hundred years可知,句子时态用现在完成时,主语humans是复数,因此空格处是have begun,故填have begun。
【45题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:在过去一百年里,人类为了寻找三种主要资源而开始破坏雨林:种植作物的土地,造纸和其他产品的木材,饲养牲畜的土地。animal是可数名词,此处表示不止一个,因此空格处用复数,故填animals。
【46题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:例如,空气中的大量二氧化碳来自于热带雨林的燃烧。for example是固定短语,意为“例如”,因此空格处是for,位于句首,首字母大写,故填For。
【47题详解】
考查连词。句意:人们显然需要我们从砍伐树木中获得的资源,但我们所遭受的痛苦将远远超过我们所获得的好处。由“People obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees”和“we will suffer much more than we will benefit”可知,句子表示“人们显然需要我们从砍伐树木中获得的资源,但我们所遭受的痛苦将远远超过我们所获得的好处”,前后句子是转折关系,因此空格处用but表转折,故填but。
【48题详解】
考查形容词。句意:然而,只有不到1%的雨林植物被研究过其医疗价值。空格处用形容词作定语,修饰名词value,medicine的形容词是medical,意为“医疗的”,故填medical。
【49题详解】
考查主语从句。句意:极有可能,我们治愈疾病的最佳机会就在世界上日益缩小的热带雨林的某个地方。It是形式主语,空格处引导的是主语从句,从句中不缺成分且句子意思完整,因此用that引导主语从句,故填that。
【50题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:极有可能,我们治愈疾病的最佳机会就在世界上日益缩小的热带雨林的某个地方。句子描述客观事实,时态用一般现在时,主语chance是单数,因此空格处用第三人称单数,故填lies。
