Ⅲ.阅读理解
I spent three months volunteering with Volunteer Bolivia.It was at times annoying，scary and difficult，but also life－changing，satisfying and amazing.Because I had studied Spanish for a couple of years before I went out，I had just one week of classes at Volunteer Bolivia.
Living with a family also helped my Spanish greatly and I felt immediately like one of their daughters.They were good friends from the beginning of my time there and I was looked after very well.I still had a lot of independence.The Volunteer Bolivia centre，with its café bar and cultural talks，was a meeting place for all the volunteers and I met some wonderful people from all over the world who were doing the same as me—giving something of themselves to a country which needs so much.
My placement was in a caring centre for prisoners’ children from the Cochabamba prisons and from the very start I felt welcomed and needed.There I met some inspiring members who put so much of their heart into caring for those children who maybe had no one else to love them.The work itself was not only very hard but at times emotionally demanding，especially sending a group of two－year－olds back into the prison at the end of the day.Despite all this，I learnt a lot through the experience and now I’m more aware of the problems faced daily by many people in South America.The centre has very limited funding so they rely heavily on the work of volunteers，and any time people give is very valuable to them.Since returning to Britain I have kept in touch with the people I worked with and I’m trying to support them as much as possible.Volunteering through Volunteer Bolivia has changed my life and is an experience I will never forget.
21．We can infer that the official language of Bolivia is most probably________.
A．English B．Spanish
C．French D．Italian
22．Where did the author stay when she was in Bolivia?K]
A．In a hotel. B．In the volunteer centre.
C．In a café bar. D．With a local family.
23．The author’s job as a volunteer in Bolivia was to________.
A．raise money for some prisons
B．meet volunteers from other countries
C．look after some prisoners’children
D．help the local people with their farm work
24．What did the author think of her work in Bolivia according to Paragraph 3?
A．Challenging. B．Relaxing.
C．Disappointing. D．Boring.
25．What can we learn from the passage?
A．All people in Bolivia need the volunteers’help.
B．There is the world’s largest number of prisoners in Bolivia.
C．The author was a college student when she went to Bolivia.
D．The author’s experience in Bolivia had a great effect on her.
Ⅳ.短文填空
(海南嘉积中学2009～2010学年度质量监测)
No fight can end，and no friendship can move on，until everyone says these little words：I’m sorry.Sometimes，though，they can be difficult to say.26.________
It is not about winning.
Friendships aren’t like the Super Bowl，and there should never be a winner and a loser.When you start fighting with a friend，it may feel important that you “win” the fight by proving you’re right and he is wrong，or by making him be the first to apologize.
In reality，you’ll both lose if you let your fight ruin your friendship，and you’ll both win if you find a way to heal it.27.________
You may have heard the expression “His pride stood in the way”．It is usually used to describe a person who is so determined to be “right” that he lets an opportunity for happiness pass him by forever.28.________Remember：as time goes on，we usually forget who was right and who was wrong in a disagreement，and only remember the sadness of losing a friend.
Take the first step.
Are you sick of fighting？Do you think this fight is just not important enough to ruin your friendship？29.________You don’t have to take full responsibility for starting the fight，or even say that your feelings were wrong.But you should find something you did or said that’s worth apologizing for.Maybe you’re sorry that you let the fight go for so long，or that you overreacted to something your friend did.If you say you’re sorry，it’s like an invitation for your friend to do the same.
30．________
A．Then try to be the first to apologize.
B．Stop thinking about your pride.
C．It’s about taking some responsibility for the argument.
D．Don’t let this happen to a friendship you care about.
E．Here are some things to keep in mind.
F．There are some special cases when you shouldn’t be the one to apologize first.
G．Once you’ve both said it，you’ll both feel a million times better.

课时作业答案
Ⅰ.单项填空
1．C　句意为：我们坚信战争永远不能解决任何事情，它只能导致暴力。run into撞上，偶然碰见；come from来自；lead to导致；begin with以……开始。
2．C　考查冠词。发明物前习惯用定冠词；most是“非常”之意，而非最高级形式；in history为常用搭配。
3．C　句意为“这种药没有影响他的健康，事实上，似乎一点效果都没有”。affect是及物动词，意为“影响”；have no effect on...对……没有影响。
4．D　考查非谓语动词作状语。此处考查短语be lost to 沉湎于，故排除A；由于读故事发生在过去，而非现在或将来。
5．D　考查主谓一致与blame的用法。Tom为主语，故排除B。be to blame为固定搭配，意为“应受谴责；应负责任”。
6．D　考查非谓语动词作状语。此处过去分词短语Tired of man－made city life作状语相当于状语从句Because they are tired of man－made city life。
7．B　考查动词辨析。句意为：这次谋杀案中受害者的家属恳求高等法院给一个明确的答复。appeal to sb.to do sth.意为“恳求某人做某事；上诉”。
8．D　由于周末可能会下雪，我们是否去野餐要视情况而定。It depends.那要看情况而定。符合句意。
9．A　考查固定词组辨析。regardless of 不管，不顾；instead of 代替，然而；in relation of 与……相关；on behalf of 代表。句意为：不管天气如何，运动会将会如期举行。
10．A　句意为：他们正在寻求对身体有好处的最合理的饮食。seek “寻求”符合句意。stimulate 刺激；shape 形成，塑造；sink 下沉，均不合题意。
11．D　be thirsty for渴望；渴求；热望。
12．A　on behalf of代表；on account of因为，由于；in honor of向……表示敬意；in memory of纪念。据题意应该是“我代表妈妈写信来对您的好客表示感谢”。
13．C　motivate sb.to do sth.激励某人做某事；affect sb.影响某人；discourage sb.from doing sth.劝阻某人不要做某事；forbid sb.to do sth.禁止某人做某事。据题意“利润分红计划”应该是为了“激励员工更加努力工作”，可知答案为C项。

15．B　句意为：三小时后，我们站在了山顶上，从那里我们可以一览整个城市的亮丽风景。from where相当于from at the top of the hill，引导了非限定性定语从句。
