6月6日拂晓,数千人在法国北部空降在敌人后方。
Meanwhile, thousands more were journeying across the English Channel to Normandy, protected by fighter planes in the skies above them.

Their objective was clear: to reach the Normandy beaches along about 80 kilometres of French coastline.

Seventy years later, men who had fought on D-Day gathered on both sides of the English Channel, where people were coming together for memorial ceremonies.
70年后,在诺曼底登陆日作战的士兵聚集在英吉利海峡两岸,在此人们聚集在一起举行纪念仪式。
As part of this solemn and moving occasion, a former soldier read out to the crowd these lines from the poem For the Fallen, by Laurence Binyon:
作为这个庄严而感人的仪式的一部分,一位退伍军人向人群朗诵了劳伦斯·比尼恩的《致阵亡者》中的几行诗:
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

(使)非常疲倦 condemn v. 迫使(某人)处于不幸的境地 “主(men who had fought on D Day)谓(gathered)”。介词短语on both sides of the English Channel是地点状语,who had fought on D Day是定语从句,修饰先行词men; where people ... memorial ceremonies是非限制性定语从句,解释说明both sides of the English Channel。
Survivors of the D-Day landings continue to meet to remember the fellow soldiers and friends they lost that day.
诺曼底登陆的幸存者们继续相聚来纪念那一天他们所失去的士兵和朋友。
Although each year they are fewer in number, their outstanding acts of courage mean that we will always remember them—as well as those who lost their lives on the beaches of northern France.

Are you looking for the best war books Take a look at a few titles you need to add to your list!
The Art of War, by Sun Tzu
The Art of War was published thousands of years ago, which dates back to the earliest days of the Chinese Empire. It is a comprehensive military masterpiece that discusses the basics of war, covering everything from basic battle preparation to military supply and how to win a battle before it is even fought. Therefore, it remains one of the most important war books even in the modern era.
War and Peace, by Leo Tolstoy
War and Peace is widely known as one of the greatest war novels, focusing on the age of Napoleon. At the time, Napoleon had already conquered the vast majority of Western Europe and rounded up his allies to invade Russia. This novel illustrates how Russia was able to turn back the tide of the French invasion and preserved its land during the Battle of Borodino.
For Whom the Bell Tolls, by Ernest Hemingway
Before Ernest Hemingway became a famous author, he served as an ambulance driver in the Great War. Based on the experience, he wrote For Whom the Bell Tolls, which is about Robert Jordan, a volunteer with a republican guerilla (游击队) unit during the Spanish Civil War. This book provides an inside look at what it was like to serve in a major conflict and its impact on individuals.
The Iliad, by Homer

World War Ⅱ began when the UK and France declared war on Germany, after German troops led by Adolf Hitler had invaded Poland on 1 September 1939 to claim land there as their own. Hitler had already invaded Austria and Czechoslovakia, so the war began over his plan to take more land for Germany.
The Siege of Leningrad is a famous event during World War Ⅱ. For 900 days—from 8 September 1941 to 27 January 1944—the city of Leningrad in Russia was surrounded by German troops. That meant everyone inside the city had to stay there, and that there wasn't any way for food or other sources like medicine to get in. Many hundreds of thousands of people died during this time because there wasn't enough food or heating to go around, but the people who lived in Leningrad refused to surrender to the Germans.
In 1940, the French port of Dunkirk was the location of a big turning point for the Allies in World War Ⅱ. Hitler's armies bombed Dunkirk heavily, and many Allied troops were waiting on the beach to be rescued because they didn't have the resources they needed to fight back. From 26 May to 4 June, over 550,000 troops were ferried to safety across the English Channel—the code name for this was “Operation Dynamo”. Some British civilians (people who weren't in the army) even used their own boats to help save as many people as they could. The rescue operation helped to boost morale (士气) in Britain, where they really needed some good news. This helped in going into the next major event in World War Ⅱ, the Battle of Britain.
June 6, 1944 is also known as D Day. On that day, the Allied forces launched a huge invasion of land that Adolf Hitler's Nazi troops had taken over. It all began with boats and boats full of Allied troops landing on beaches in the French region of Normandy. They broke through the German defences and carried on fighting them back through Europe for the next 11 months until they reached Berlin, where Hitler was then hiding.
篇章导读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了二战期间几次著名的战役,包括列宁格勒保卫战、敦刻尔克大撤退、诺曼底登陆等。
4.What led to the outbreak of World War Ⅱ?
A.UK and France's declaring war on Germany.
B.German troops' invading Poland in 1939.
C.Hitler's starting an attack on Austria.
D.Hitler's plan for occupying more land.

Four Great Destinations For Free
The Getty (Los Angeles, America)
This place is so huge that you must take a tram (有轨电车) just from the parking garage to the top, but that's part of the fun. The collection features Greek and Roman antiquities. But they also have Van Gogh's Irises and some lovely Monets. If you have a choice, go on a clear day because you can see the ocean and Catalina Island from the rooftop gardens, which are an attraction in themselves.
Golden Gate Bridge (San Francisco, America)
Did you know you can walk or bike across this 1.7 mile bridge across San Francisco Bay If you walk the entire length, you end up in the charming town of Sausalito. A new overlook called Strauss Plaza provides a visitor center and great overlooks.
Fusterlandia (Havana, Cuba)
Artist Jose Fuster left Cuba decades ago to travel in Europe and came back inspired to decorate his run down property in Havana with broken tiles (瓷砖).
Eventually he covered a good portion of the neighborhood with his whimsical (异想天开的) tile art, including bus stops, benches, front gates, doctors' offices and more. His own property is covered with sculptures of fantastic creatures. Expect to see tons of tourists every day and maybe even the artist himself, who still lives and works there.
Statue of Liberty (New York, America)
Yes, you can pay to take a harbor tour and see the Statue of Liberty up close, but why not just hop on the Staten Island ferry It will take you past the famous statue in the harbor and give you a 25 minute harbor tour between Manhattan and Staten Island. The ferry runs all day and night, seven days a week.

Are you looking for the best war books Take a look at a few titles you need to add to your list!
The Art of War, by Sun Tzu
The Art of War was published thousands of years ago, which dates back to the earliest days of the Chinese Empire. It is a comprehensive military masterpiece that discusses the basics of war, covering everything from basic battle preparation to military supply and how to win a battle before it is even fought. Therefore, it remains one of the most important war books even in the modern era.
War and Peace, by Leo Tolstoy
War and Peace is widely known as one of the greatest war novels, focusing on the age of Napoleon. At the time, Napoleon had already conquered the vast majority of Western Europe and rounded up his allies to invade Russia. This novel illustrates how Russia was able to turn back the tide of the French invasion and preserved its land during the Battle of Borodino.
For Whom the Bell Tolls, by Ernest Hemingway
Before Ernest Hemingway became a famous author, he served as an ambulance driver in the Great War. Based on the experience, he wrote For Whom the Bell Tolls, which is about Robert Jordan, a volunteer with a republican guerilla (游击队) unit during the Spanish Civil War. This book provides an inside look at what it was like to serve in a major conflict and its impact on individuals.

World War Ⅱ began when the UK and France declared war on Germany, after German troops led by Adolf Hitler had invaded Poland on 1 September 1939 to claim land there as their own. Hitler had already invaded Austria and Czechoslovakia, so the war began over his plan to take more land for Germany.
The Siege of Leningrad is a famous event during World War Ⅱ. For 900 days—from 8 September 1941 to 27 January 1944—the city of Leningrad in Russia was surrounded by German troops. That meant everyone inside the city had to stay there, and that there wasn't any way for food or other sources like medicine to get in. Many hundreds of thousands of people died during this time because there wasn't enough food or heating to go around, but the people who lived in Leningrad refused to surrender to the Germans.
In 1940, the French port of Dunkirk was the location of a big turning point for the Allies in World War Ⅱ. Hitler's armies bombed Dunkirk heavily, and many Allied troops were waiting on the beach to be rescued because they didn't have the resources they needed to fight back. From 26 May to 4 June, over 550,000 troops were ferried to safety across the English Channel—the code name for this was “ Operation Dynamo”. Some British civilians (people who weren't in the army) even used their own boats to help save as many people as they could. The rescue operation helped to boost morale (士气) in Britain, where they really needed some good news. This helped in going into the next major event in World War Ⅱ, the Battle of Britain.
篇章导读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了二战期间几次著名的战役,包括列宁格勒保卫战、敦刻尔克大撤退、诺曼底登陆等。
June 6, 1944 is also known as D Day. On that day, the Allied forces launched a huge invasion of land that Adolf Hitler's Nazi troops had taken over. It all began with boats and boats full of Allied troops landing on beaches in the French region of Normandy. They broke through the German defences and carried on fighting them back through Europe for the next 11 months until they reached Berlin, where Hitler was then hiding.
4.What led to the outbreak of World War Ⅱ?
A.UK and France's declaring war on Germany.
B.German troops' invading Poland in 1939.
C.Hitler's starting an attack on Austria.
D.Hitler's plan for occupying more land.

Four Great Destinations For Free
The Getty (Los Angeles, America)
This place is so huge that you must take a tram (有轨电车) just from the parking garage to the top, but that's part of the fun. The collection features Greek and Roman antiquities. But they also have Van Gogh's Irises and some lovely Monets. If you have a choice, go on a clear day because you can see the ocean and Catalina Island from the rooftop gardens, which are an attraction in themselves.
Golden Gate Bridge (San Francisco, America)
Did you know you can walk or bike across this 1.7 mile bridge across San Francisco Bay If you walk the entire length, you end up in the charming town of Sausalito. A new overlook called Strauss Plaza provides a visitor center and great overlooks.
Fusterlandia (Havana, Cuba)
Artist Jose Fuster left Cuba decades ago to travel in Europe and came back inspired to decorate his run down property in Havana with broken tiles (瓷砖).
Eventually he covered a good portion of the neighborhood with his whimsical (异想天开的) tile art, including bus stops, benches, front gates, doctors' offices and more. His own property is covered with sculptures of fantastic creatures. Expect to see tons of tourists every day and maybe even the artist himself, who still lives and works there.
Statue of Liberty (New York, America)
Yes, you can pay to take a harbor tour and see the Statue of Liberty up close, but why not just hop on the Staten Island ferry It will take you past the famous statue in the harbor and give you a 25 minute harbor tour between Manhattan and Staten Island. The ferry runs all day and night, seven days a week.

A.Golden Gate Bridge B.Statue of Liberty
C.Fusterlandia D.The Getty
解析:细节理解题。根据Fusterlandia (Havana, Cuba)部分中的“Expect to see ... and works there.”可知,在Fusterlandia (弗斯特之家),预计你每天可以看到大量游客,甚至可能看到艺术家本人。故选C。

A.Take a tram.
B.Pay an extra fee.
C.Walk or bike across the bridge.
D.Make reservations in advance.
解析:细节理解题。 根据Statue of Liberty (New York, America)部分中的“Yes, you can pay to take a harbor tour and see the Statue of Liberty up close”可知,游客可以付钱进行海港游览,从而近距离观看自由女神像。故选B。

篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“年糕”的寓意,以及它是如何成为我们的一种日常食物的历史故事。
解析:考查词性转换。根据设空前定冠词The及设空后介词of可知,此处应用名词。故填pronunciation。
1.答案:pronunciation
2.答案:and
解析:考查连词。句意:在汉语里,年糕的发音听起来像“年年高升”,象征着更高的收入,更高的职位,孩子的成长及对更好的一年的希望。设空前后为并列关系,应用and连接。故填and。
解析:考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。主语the whole country与divide之间为被动关系;且根据时间状语“In the Spring and Autumn Period of ancient China”可知,此处应用一般过去时的被动语态;主语为单数。故填was divided。
3.答案:was divided
4.答案:to protect
解析:考查非谓语动词。句意:当时,吴国筑起了坚固的城墙,以保护自己免受反复的攻击。此处应用不定式作目的状语。故填to protect。
解析:考查名词。attack意为“攻击”,为可数名词;设空前有形容词repeated“反复的”修饰,应用名词复数作介词from的宾语。故填attacks。
5.答案:attacks
6.答案:It
解析:考查强调句型。此处为强调句句型It be+被强调部分+that/who+其他;位于句首,单词首字母应大写。故填It。
解析:考查词性转换。句意:伍子胥告诉他的随从,不应该轻视战争。修饰动词viewed,应用副词作状语。故填lightly。
7.答案:lightly
8.答案:of
解析:考查介词。句意:伍子胥去世后,一场战争爆发了,许多人死于缺乏食物。固定短语lack of sth意为“缺少……”。故填of。
解析:考查非谓语动词。bricks和make为被动关系,应用过去分词作后置定语。故填made。
9.答案:made
10.答案:what
解析:考查宾语从句的连接词。设空处引导宾语从句;从句中缺少eat的宾语,意为“……的东西”,应用连接代词what。故填what。
