三、阅读理解：共20题 每题2分 共40分
If your parents take out a loan, remind themselves to make the payments on time. Otherwise it will become a negative record in their personal credit reports, which are playing an increasingly big role in people's daily lives. A story carried by Chongqing Morning Post in June, underlines this trend.
According to the report, a Chongqing student borrowed money from the bank to finance his university studies. After he graduated in 2005, he went to work in Shenzhen. Later, he wanted to buy a house using loans. But several banks turned down his loan applications. The reason was that he had not paid back 1,500 yuan he borrowed from a bank when he was at university.
A personal credit rating is becoming an essential “pass” in everyday life, as China establishes a nationwide credit database. Personal credit systems go back 150 years. In developed countries, enterprises and banks use them to decide whether or not to loan money or do other business with a person.
A credit report estimates the credit worthiness of an individual, a company, or even a country. It is an evaluation made by credit bureaus of a borrower's overall credit history and his or her ability to repay debt. A poor credit rating means a high risk of defaulting on a loan, and thus leads to the refusal of a loan by the lender.
Today in China, credit history in banks is the major content of a credit report. But in the future, reports will include information about the payment of telephone bills, water use fees, electricity and natural gas bills, and taxes, according to officials of the People's Bank of China, the central bank.
Personal information such as appearance, genetic data, fingerprints, blood type, disease history, ethnic identity, family and religious beliefs are not to be included in credit reports, according to a draft regulation on credit rating issued last year by the Sate Council. The authors of the draft have just finished soliciting(征求) public opinions.
The Credit Reference Center run by the People's Bank of China is in charge of developing a nationwide credit database. Credit reports for all people with bank transactions (交易)began in 2006.
A personal credit rating is important to the social and economic activities of a person. According to the draft, if you have a personal negative credit record, it will be kept for five years.
36．The author took the story as an example in order to ________.
A.warn us of the importance of our personal credit report
B.tell us the story of a Chongqing student
C.encourage us to use credits widely
D.inform us to apply for a loan at university
37．Credit reports will include the following except ________.
A.taxes B.telephone bills C.water use fees D.genetic data
38．According to the passage, which of the following statements? is TRUE?
A.Personal credit systems go back 150 years in China.
B.You can turn to the People's Bank of China for the information about your credit report.
C.Credit history in banks is the only content of a credit report.
D.Credit reports began in 2006 in China.
39．What's the best title for the passage?
A.A Credit Report Rating B.Credit in China
C.Credit Really Counts D.Credit Report Contents
【答案】
36．A
37．D
38．B
39．C
【解析】
36．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第二段的内容可以推断出，作者引用这个故事的目的是提醒大家个人信用报告的重要性。选A。
37．细节理解题。根据第五段中的“But in the future, reports will include information about the payment of telephone bills, water use fees, electricity and natural gas bills, and taxes, according to officials of the People's Bank of China, the central bank”，可知信用报告要包含税收，电话费用，水费。没有提到genetic data基因数据，选D。
38．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段中的“The Credit Reference Center run by the People's Bank of China is in charge of developing a nationwide credit database”，可知个人信用报告数据是由中国人民银行负责管理的。故B项正确。
39．主旨大意题。本文讲述的是个人信用的重要性。选C。
?
Children are delight, they are our future. But sadly, hiring someone to take care of them when you’re going to work is getting more expensive by the year.
Earlier this month it was reported, that the cost of involving an infant or small kidata childcare centre rose 3?percent in 2012, faster than the general cost of living. There are now large strips of the country where daycare (日托) for an infant costs more than 10% of the average married couples’ income.
This is not necessarily a new trend, but it is somewhat puzzling me. The price of professional childcare has been rising since the 1980s. Yet during that time, pay for professional childcare workers has stood still. Actually caregivers (护理员) earn less today than they did in 1990. Considering that labor costs are responsible for about 80% of a daycare center’s expenses, one would infer that stable wages means stable prices.
So who is to blame for higher child care costs?
Childcare is a carefully regulated industry. States lay down rules about how many children each employee is allowed to watch over, the space care centers need per child, and other details. And the stricter the regulations are, the higher the costs will be. In Massachusetts, where childcare centers must hire one teacher for every three infants, the price of care averaged more than $ 16,000 per year. In Mississippi, where centers must hire one teacher for every five infants, the price of care averaged less than $5,000.
Unfortunately I don’t have all the daycare center regulations, but I wouldn’t be surprised if as the rules have become more complicated, prices have risen. The tradeoff (交换) might be worth it in certain cases; after all, the health and safety of children should probably come before cheap service. But certainly, it doesn’t seem to be an accident that some of the cheapest daycare available is in the least regulated South.
40．What?problem?do parents of small kids have to face?
A.The ever-rising child care prices. B.The budgeting of family expenses.
C.The balance between work and family. D.The selection of a good daycare center
41．What does the author feel puzzled about?
A.Why the prices of child care vary greatly?from?state to state.
B.Why increased child care prices have not led to better service.
C.Why childcare workers’ pay has not increased with the rising childcare costs
D.Why there is a severe shortage of childcare professionals in a number of states.
42．What prevents child care centers from saving money?
A.Steady increase in labor costs. B.Strict government regulations.
C.Lack of?support?from?the state. D.High administrative expenses.
43．What is the author’s view on a daycare service?
A.Caregivers should receive regular professional training.
B.Less complicated rules about childcare might lower costs.
C.It is vital to strike a balance between quality and costs.
D.It is better for different States to learn from each other.
【答案】
40．A
41．C
42．B
43．B
【解析】
40．细节理解题。根据第一段第一行“But sadly, hiring someone to take care of them when you’re going to work is getting more expensive by the year.”可知婴幼儿家长面临的问题是雇佣保育员的费用越来越高。故答案为A。
41．细节理解题。根据第三段第一行“This is not necessarily a new trend, but it is somewhat puzzling me. The price of professional childcare has been rising since the 1980s. Yet during that time, pay for professional childcare workers has stood still.”可知随着雇佣专业保育员的费用越来越高，可是专业保育工人的工资一直不动，这是让作者不解的地方。故答案为C。
42．推理判断题。根据第五段内容可知国家规定多少孩子由一个保育员看护，严格的规定使婴儿护理成本增加，而不能省下钱。故答案为B。
43．推理判断题。根据文中作者对保育员收入没有随之上涨的原因的分析和文章最后一段“But certainly, it doesn’t seem to be an accident that some of the cheapest daycare available is in the least regulated South.”可知作者的观点是减少对保育工作复杂的规定就会降低保育成本，这也不一定不可行。故答案为B。
?
I was born in Korea, and my family came over to America when I was 10. I’m the middle child of three girls, and my parents moved so we would experience a different life. They did it for our education and to give us more of a chance than they had. We moved to Staten Island, and I went to the High School of Performing Arts in New York City. My parents were depressed when I told them I wanted to be an actress. My father suggested I try premed(医学预科). But after they saw me in plays they were really proud.
I graduated from Boston University and was doing theater in New York when I got cast in a Korean miniseries(电视连续剧). We started shooting the show in New York, and then went to Korea to finish it up. They said I would be there for three weeks, but it ended up being two months. The miniseries took off, and overnight, I became recognizable. It was sort of like Lost. It blew up. Then amazing projects were offered to me. I kept thinking, “ I’ll do one more and then go back to the US.” I ended up staying for seven years.
Some people described me as the Julia Roberts of Korea, which is a bad comparison because she’s the queen of romantic comedy. I became famous in Korea for a dramatic role in a film called Shiri. I played a “La Femme Nikita” type of role. I was the girl with the gun—all action．

44．细节理解题。根据第一段中“They did it for our education and to give us more of a chance than they had.”可知他们搬家的目的在于他们能够为他们的孩子提供更好的教育，故选A。
45．细节理解题。根据第一段中“My parents were depressed when I told them I wanted to be an actress.”可知当父母一开始知道她想要成为一名演员的时候是不同意的，故选C。
46．推理判断题。根据第二段中“overnight, I became recognizable.”可知一夜之间我被所有人所认识，作者第一次表演取得了很大的突破，故选D。
47．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的内容可知，作者被别人看作是韩国的Julia Roberts，但是她不这么认为，因为Julia Roberts是浪漫喜剧女神，作者想要扮演不同的角色，因此她觉得这个比喻不恰当，故选C。

A woman was in a hurry to go to the airport. She told the cab driver to drive quickly. She was so absorbed in her own thoughts that she was not aware that they was going by a different route.
Suddenly, a man got inside the cab. He took her handbag where she had placed her visa, passport, and all her money for the trip. The driver, who was in cahoots with the robber, left her in the middle of the dark street. She cursed the world for being so mean to her and thought how unlucky she was in that situation.
That very same night, she heard some shocking news. Tears flowed down her face. Flight 230, which was the plane that she was supposed to have boarded, had crashed. If she had not lost her precious belongings, she could have lost something far more important---her life.
Sometimes bad things really happen. We lose money, fail our exams, or are rejected by others. There are times when nothing seems to go our way.
So what should we do about it? Should we be disappointed? The answer is a resounding “No!” We must get rid of all these frustrations and start all over again in the consistent faith that we will get what we deserve.
Don’t waste your time and energy on things that can’t be changed. Continuous worrying will only affect your health and you’ll be doing much more damage than what was previously done.
What if it was the other way around? What if we never ran out of good luck?
There was a man who won the lottery. He thought he was the luckiest person in the world. He became greedy and wasted all his money on everything he could get his hands on. One day, he made it to the front page of the newspaper again. But this time, it was a different story. He had been killed because of his riches.
If you attain good luck, you can never be too secure about it. Hope for protection and guidance. Life is so unpredictable. You never know what will happen next.
Live one day at a time. We sometimes subject ourselves to unnecessary emotional trouble. We ask ourselves: “What if I don’t get this done in time?” or “What if my family leave me and I’ve got no one else to turn to?”
Live for the moment. Do what must be done for the present and the future will turn out just fine. Believe me. And believe in yourself. As Captain Planet always says, “The power is yours!”

四、七选五：共5题 每题2分 共10分
What is the purpose of reading or studying? If you can't remember what you read or study, it will be a waste of time. 56 ??? One useful aid that does help you remember what you study is to have a specific purpose or reason for reading.
Why does a clerk in a store go away when your reply to her offer to help is, "No, thank you, I'm just looking."? Both you and she know that if you aren't sure what you want, you are not likely to find it. But suppose you say instead, "Yes, thank you. I want a pair of sun glasses." She says, "Right this way, please.” It’s quite the same with your studying. If you choose a book, "just looking" for nothing in particular, you are likely to get just that—nothing. 57 Your reasons will vary; they will include reading or studying "to find out more about", "to understand the reasons for" and "to find out how"．
58 Before you start to study, you say to yourself something like this, "I want to know why Stephen Vincent Benet happened to write about America"．Because you know why you are reading or studying, you relate the information to your purpose and remember it better．
Reading is not one single activity. 59 As you read, you take in ideas rapidly and accurately. But at the same time you express your own ideas to yourself as you react to what you read. You have a kind of mental conversation with the author．
This additional process of thinking about what you read includes evaluating it, relating it to what you already know, and using it for your own purposes. 60 One part of critical reading, as you have discovered, is distinguishing between facts and opinions. Facts can be checked by evidence. Opinions are one's own personal reactions．Another part of critical reading is judging sources. Still another part is drawing accurate inferences.
A. This is an effective studying way.
B. In other words, a good reader is a critical reader.
C. You remember better when you know what you’re reading.
D. At least two important processes go on at the same time.
E. It is important for students to have a positive attitude to their study.
F. But if you do know what you want, you are almost sure to get it.
G. Perhaps you have already discovered some good ways to keep yourself from forgetting．
【答案】
56．G
57．F
58．A
59．D
60．B
【解析】
56．根据上文中的“If you can't remember what you read or study, it will be a waste of time”，可知这里是说：可能你已经想出一些方法让自己不要遗忘。故选G。
57．根据上文中的“If you choose a book, "just looking" for nothing in particular, you are likely to get just that—nothing”，可知这里是说：但是如果你确实知道你想要什么，你几乎肯定能得到它。故选F。
58．根据下文中的“Before you start to study, you say to yourself something like this”，可知这里是说：这是有效的学习方法。故选A。
59．根据上文中的“Reading is not one single activity”，可知这里是说：至少两个过程同时进行。故选D。
60．根据下文中的“One part of critical reading, as you have discovered, is distinguishing between facts and opinions”，可知这里是说：换句话说，一个好的读者是会批判的读者。故选B。

4、数词1000后应该用名词复数。
5、but表示转折，此处表示并列，故用and。
6、be popular with 受某人欢迎，固定搭配，be动词后通常用形容词，所以把popularly改为popular。
7、invite sb to do sth 邀请某人做某事，固定短语，故应该把for去掉。
8、此处应该是条件状语从句，when 引导的是时间状语从句，结合语境，故用if。

三、阅读理解：共20题 每题2分 共40分
If your parents take out a loan, remind themselves to make the payments on time. Otherwise it will become a negative record in their personal credit reports, which are playing an increasingly big role in people's daily lives. A story carried by Chongqing Morning Post in June, underlines this trend.
According to the report, a Chongqing student borrowed money from the bank to finance his university studies. After he graduated in 2005, he went to work in Shenzhen. Later, he wanted to buy a house using loans. But several banks turned down his loan applications. The reason was that he had not paid back 1,500 yuan he borrowed from a bank when he was at university.
A personal credit rating is becoming an essential “pass” in everyday life, as China establishes a nationwide credit database. Personal credit systems go back 150 years. In developed countries, enterprises and banks use them to decide whether or not to loan money or do other business with a person.
A credit report estimates the credit worthiness of an individual, a company, or even a country. It is an evaluation made by credit bureaus of a borrower's overall credit history and his or her ability to repay debt. A poor credit rating means a high risk of defaulting on a loan, and thus leads to the refusal of a loan by the lender.
Today in China, credit history in banks is the major content of a credit report. But in the future, reports will include information about the payment of telephone bills, water use fees, electricity and natural gas bills, and taxes, according to officials of the People's Bank of China, the central bank.
Personal information such as appearance, genetic data, fingerprints, blood type, disease history, ethnic identity, family and religious beliefs are not to be included in credit reports, according to a draft regulation on credit rating issued last year by the Sate Council. The authors of the draft have just finished soliciting(征求) public opinions.
The Credit Reference Center run by the People's Bank of China is in charge of developing a nationwide credit database. Credit reports for all people with bank transactions (交易)began in 2006.
A personal credit rating is important to the social and economic activities of a person. According to the draft, if you have a personal negative credit record, it will be kept for five years.
36．The author took the story as an example in order to ________.
A.warn us of the importance of our personal credit report
B.tell us the story of a Chongqing student
C.encourage us to use credits widely
D.inform us to apply for a loan at university
37．Credit reports will include the following except ________.
A.taxes B.telephone bills C.water use fees D.genetic data
38．According to the passage, which of the following statements? is TRUE?
A.Personal credit systems go back 150 years in China.
B.You can turn to the People's Bank of China for the information about your credit report.
C.Credit history in banks is the only content of a credit report.
D.Credit reports began in 2006 in China.
39．What's the best title for the passage?
A.A Credit Report Rating B.Credit in China
C.Credit Really Counts D.Credit Report Contents
【答案】
36．A
37．D
38．B
39．C
【解析】
36．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第二段的内容可以推断出，作者引用这个故事的目的是提醒大家个人信用报告的重要性。选A。
37．细节理解题。根据第五段中的“But in the future, reports will include information about the payment of telephone bills, water use fees, electricity and natural gas bills, and taxes, according to officials of the People's Bank of China, the central bank”，可知信用报告要包含税收，电话费用，水费。没有提到genetic data基因数据，选D。
38．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段中的“The Credit Reference Center run by the People's Bank of China is in charge of developing a nationwide credit database”，可知个人信用报告数据是由中国人民银行负责管理的。故B项正确。
39．主旨大意题。本文讲述的是个人信用的重要性。选C。
?
Children are delight, they are our future. But sadly, hiring someone to take care of them when you’re going to work is getting more expensive by the year.
Earlier this month it was reported, that the cost of involving an infant or small kidata childcare centre rose 3?percent in 2012, faster than the general cost of living. There are now large strips of the country where daycare (日托) for an infant costs more than 10% of the average married couples’ income.
This is not necessarily a new trend, but it is somewhat puzzling me. The price of professional childcare has been rising since the 1980s. Yet during that time, pay for professional childcare workers has stood still. Actually caregivers (护理员) earn less today than they did in 1990. Considering that labor costs are responsible for about 80% of a daycare center’s expenses, one would infer that stable wages means stable prices.
So who is to blame for higher child care costs?
Childcare is a carefully regulated industry. States lay down rules about how many children each employee is allowed to watch over, the space care centers need per child, and other details. And the stricter the regulations are, the higher the costs will be. In Massachusetts, where childcare centers must hire one teacher for every three infants, the price of care averaged more than $ 16,000 per year. In Mississippi, where centers must hire one teacher for every five infants, the price of care averaged less than $5,000.
Unfortunately I don’t have all the daycare center regulations, but I wouldn’t be surprised if as the rules have become more complicated, prices have risen. The tradeoff (交换) might be worth it in certain cases; after all, the health and safety of children should probably come before cheap service. But certainly, it doesn’t seem to be an accident that some of the cheapest daycare available is in the least regulated South.
40．What?problem?do parents of small kids have to face?
A.The ever-rising child care prices. B.The budgeting of family expenses.
C.The balance between work and family. D.The selection of a good daycare center
41．What does the author feel puzzled about?
A.Why the prices of child care vary greatly?from?state to state.
B.Why increased child care prices have not led to better service.
C.Why childcare workers’ pay has not increased with the rising childcare costs
D.Why there is a severe shortage of childcare professionals in a number of states.
42．What prevents child care centers from saving money?
A.Steady increase in labor costs. B.Strict government regulations.
C.Lack of?support?from?the state. D.High administrative expenses.
43．What is the author’s view on a daycare service?
A.Caregivers should receive regular professional training.
B.Less complicated rules about childcare might lower costs.
C.It is vital to strike a balance between quality and costs.
D.It is better for different States to learn from each other.
【答案】
40．A
41．C
42．B
43．B
【解析】
40．细节理解题。根据第一段第一行“But sadly, hiring someone to take care of them when you’re going to work is getting more expensive by the year.”可知婴幼儿家长面临的问题是雇佣保育员的费用越来越高。故答案为A。
41．细节理解题。根据第三段第一行“This is not necessarily a new trend, but it is somewhat puzzling me. The price of professional childcare has been rising since the 1980s. Yet during that time, pay for professional childcare workers has stood still.”可知随着雇佣专业保育员的费用越来越高，可是专业保育工人的工资一直不动，这是让作者不解的地方。故答案为C。
42．推理判断题。根据第五段内容可知国家规定多少孩子由一个保育员看护，严格的规定使婴儿护理成本增加，而不能省下钱。故答案为B。
43．推理判断题。根据文中作者对保育员收入没有随之上涨的原因的分析和文章最后一段“But certainly, it doesn’t seem to be an accident that some of the cheapest daycare available is in the least regulated South.”可知作者的观点是减少对保育工作复杂的规定就会降低保育成本，这也不一定不可行。故答案为B。

I was born in Korea, and my family came over to America when I was 10. I’m the middle child of three girls, and my parents moved so we would experience a different life. They did it for our education and to give us more of a chance than they had. We moved to Staten Island, and I went to the High School of Performing Arts in New York City. My parents were depressed when I told them I wanted to be an actress. My father suggested I try premed(医学预科). But after they saw me in plays they were really proud.
I graduated from Boston University and was doing theater in New York when I got cast in a Korean miniseries(电视连续剧). We started shooting the show in New York, and then went to Korea to finish it up. They said I would be there for three weeks, but it ended up being two months. The miniseries took off, and overnight, I became recognizable. It was sort of like Lost. It blew up. Then amazing projects were offered to me. I kept thinking, “ I’ll do one more and then go back to the US.” I ended up staying for seven years.
Some people described me as the Julia Roberts of Korea, which is a bad comparison because she’s the queen of romantic comedy. I became famous in Korea for a dramatic role in a film called Shiri. I played a “La Femme Nikita” type of role. I was the girl with the gun—all action．

A woman was in a hurry to go to the airport. She told the cab driver to drive quickly. She was so absorbed in her own thoughts that she was not aware that they was going by a different route.
Suddenly, a man got inside the cab. He took her handbag where she had placed her visa, passport, and all her money for the trip. The driver, who was in cahoots with the robber, left her in the middle of the dark street. She cursed the world for being so mean to her and thought how unlucky she was in that situation.
That very same night, she heard some shocking news. Tears flowed down her face. Flight 230, which was the plane that she was supposed to have boarded, had crashed. If she had not lost her precious belongings, she could have lost something far more important---her life.
Sometimes bad things really happen. We lose money, fail our exams, or are rejected by others. There are times when nothing seems to go our way.
So what should we do about it? Should we be disappointed? The answer is a resounding “No!” We must get rid of all these frustrations and start all over again in the consistent faith that we will get what we deserve.
Don’t waste your time and energy on things that can’t be changed. Continuous worrying will only affect your health and you’ll be doing much more damage than what was previously done.
What if it was the other way around? What if we never ran out of good luck?
There was a man who won the lottery. He thought he was the luckiest person in the world. He became greedy and wasted all his money on everything he could get his hands on. One day, he made it to the front page of the newspaper again. But this time, it was a different story. He had been killed because of his riches.
If you attain good luck, you can never be too secure about it. Hope for protection and guidance. Life is so unpredictable. You never know what will happen next.
Live one day at a time. We sometimes subject ourselves to unnecessary emotional trouble. We ask ourselves: “What if I don’t get this done in time?” or “What if my family leave me and I’ve got no one else to turn to?”
Live for the moment. Do what must be done for the present and the future will turn out just fine. Believe me. And believe in yourself. As Captain Planet always says, “The power is yours!”

A.was forced by B.had cooperated with
C.was fighting bravely with D.was trying to beg

54．According to the author, which of the following is the right attitude to adopt towards life?
A.Don’t waste your time and energy because time is limited.
B.Worrying about what you don’t have means you miss out on opportunities for other things.

What is the purpose of reading or studying? If you can't remember what you read or study, it will be a waste of time. 56 ??? One useful aid that does help you remember what you study is to have a specific purpose or reason for reading.
Why does a clerk in a store go away when your reply to her offer to help is, "No, thank you, I'm just looking."? Both you and she know that if you aren't sure what you want, you are not likely to find it. But suppose you say instead, "Yes, thank you. I want a pair of sun glasses." She says, "Right this way, please.” It’s quite the same with your studying. If you choose a book, "just looking" for nothing in particular, you are likely to get just that—nothing. 57 Your reasons will vary; they will include reading or studying "to find out more about", "to understand the reasons for" and "to find out how"．
58 Before you start to study, you say to yourself something like this, "I want to know why Stephen Vincent Benet happened to write about America"．Because you know why you are reading or studying, you relate the information to your purpose and remember it better．
Reading is not one single activity. 59 As you read, you take in ideas rapidly and accurately. But at the same time you express your own ideas to yourself as you react to what you read. You have a kind of mental conversation with the author．
This additional process of thinking about what you read includes evaluating it, relating it to what you already know, and using it for your own purposes. 60 One part of critical reading, as you have discovered, is distinguishing between facts and opinions. Facts can be checked by evidence. Opinions are one's own personal reactions．Another part of critical reading is judging sources. Still another part is drawing accurate inferences.
A. This is an effective studying way.
B. In other words, a good reader is a critical reader.
C. You remember better when you know what you’re reading.
D. At least two important processes go on at the same time.
E. It is important for students to have a positive attitude to their study.
F. But if you do know what you want, you are almost sure to get it.
G. Perhaps you have already discovered some good ways to keep yourself from forgetting．
【答案】
56．G
57．F
58．A
59．D
60．B
【解析】
56．根据上文中的“If you can't remember what you read or study, it will be a waste of time”，可知这里是说：可能你已经想出一些方法让自己不要遗忘。故选G。
57．根据上文中的“If you choose a book, "just looking" for nothing in particular, you are likely to get just that—nothing”，可知这里是说：但是如果你确实知道你想要什么，你几乎肯定能得到它。故选F。
58．根据下文中的“Before you start to study, you say to yourself something like this”，可知这里是说：这是有效的学习方法。故选A。
59．根据上文中的“Reading is not one single activity”，可知这里是说：至少两个过程同时进行。故选D。
60．根据下文中的“One part of critical reading, as you have discovered, is distinguishing between facts and opinions”，可知这里是说：换句话说，一个好的读者是会批判的读者。故选B。

【解析】1、根据短文前后句子结构可知此处应该是一般现在时，故were改为are。
2、此处city表示特指，故需加定冠词the。
3、此处句子主语应该是指an art exhibition,上文出现过的名词，下文再出现时，应该用it，此处做句子主语。
4、数词1000后应该用名词复数。
5、but表示转折，此处表示并列，故用and。
6、be popular with 受某人欢迎，固定搭配，be动词后通常用形容词，所以把popularly改为popular。
7、invite sb to do sth 邀请某人做某事，固定短语，故应该把for去掉。
8、此处应该是条件状语从句，when 引导的是时间状语从句，结合语境，故用if。
9、前面句子主语是we,故此处应该用we的宾格us。
10、此处to为介词，后面应该用动名词。
