March 12,2009
Dear editor,
This weekend I bought an English-Chinese dictionary in a bookstore near my home. But when I went home and read carefully, I found that several pages were missing. What is worse, the misprints spread everywhere in the dictionary and seriously affect my comprehension. Since there was such damage and misprints to the dictionary, I went to the bookstore to require for a replacement. To my surprise, the staff of the bookstore turned down my request rudely and even refused to admit the poor quality.It goes without saying that today's market calls for better service. However, some service industries fail to achieve this standard and the quality of the staff needs to be improved. As a result, I expect your newspaper to appeal to the service industry to attach more importance to the service improvement.
Thank you for your attention!
Sincerely yours,
Sam [名师点评]

③joy表示高兴地表现出来的更强烈的快乐和愉快的情绪。 [预测题] ⑤What ________ them most was the ________ things in store for them.

我们是不是可以从讨论上次会议所产生的问题开始?
[词语辨析] arise,rise与raise

②rise也是不及物动词,意为“升起,出现;上涨;起身”。
③raise是及物动词,意为“升起;提高;饲养”。

B.was broken out;in charge;ought to be blamed
C.took place;in charge of;must be to blame
D.broke out;in charge of;should be to blame
答案与解析:D 句意:上个月深圳发生了一场大火,43人丧命。负责安全的官员应该承担责任。break out为不及物动词短语,无被动语态,故先排除B项。take place一般指按计划发生,故排除C项。in the charge of主语一般为物,排除A项。9. attempt vt.尝试,努力;n.试图,企图

1. It is going to be remembered as a historical meeting this year, as the topic of Africa will be discussed in detail.今年的会议将作为一历史性的会议留在人们的记忆中,因为非洲问题将是本届会议详细讨论的问题。
第一个as是介词,意为“作为”,形成短语be remembered as“作为……被怀念/记着”。句中第二个as是从属连词,意为“因为,由于”,引导原因状语从句,可以放在主句前或后,表示的理由没有because那么强,不能用来回答why的提问或被强调。 [解题警示] as作连词,除引导原因状语从句外,还可以引导下列从句:
①as连接时间状语从句,as的主句和从句的动作同时发生,意为“一边……一边”或“随着”。
As the sun began to set, he searched for a light and found it.
随着太阳西下,他开始寻找灯并找到了一盏。
②as引导让步状语从句,意为“尽管,虽然,即使”,常构成倒装结构。
Strange as it might sound, his idea was accepted by all the people at the meeting.
虽然他的主意听起来很奇怪,但参加本次会议的所有人却都同意。 ③as引导方式状语从句,意为“以……方式”。
④as引导比较状语从句,意为“如……,像……”。
⑤as作关系代词,引导定语从句。
⑥as引导非限制性定语从句,as指代整个主句,意为“这一点”。
As is probably true with many people, I got quite homesick and often thought about going home.
这或许和许多人一样,我非常想家并经常考虑回家。
⑦as引导限制性定语从句,先行词一般常被such,the same等修饰,as在从句中充当主语或宾语。
These houses are sold at such a low price as people expected.
这些房子的价格如人们期望的那么低。 [考试题] ①(成都外国语学校)Many Olympic athletes hold that the most important thing is not to win but to participate, ________ the most important thing in life is not the success, but the struggle.
A. as though B. just like
C. such as D. just as
答案与解析:D 考查连词与介词的辨析。句意:许多奥林匹克运动员认为,最重要的是参与,而不是获胜。正如人生中最重要的是奋斗而不是成功。just as“正如,正像”,后接句子。just like也有“正如,正像”之意,后接名词或代词。2. It is likely to be just the name of a company, part of which may be a general location.它很可能仅是公司的名称,其中可能含有公司的大概位置。
part of which may be a general location为“名词+of+which”引导定语从句,用来进一步说明先行词的一定数量、色彩或具体特征,很多情况下(涉及先行词数量除外),可以和“whose+名词”互换。 [解题警示] “名词+of+which”引导定语从句的先行词须是物,如果先行词是人,而定语从句表示“一定数量的……”时,也不能用whose,而用“名词+of+whom”。有时,也可用“of+which+名词”这种结构替代“名词+of+whom”。
In the group, there are 30 students, half of whom are girls.
这个小组有30个学生,其中一半是女生。

②(临沂质检)Martin Van Buren was the eighth President of the United States and the first ________ native language was not English but Dutch.
A. that B. whose
C. which D. where
答案与解析:B 考查定语从句。名词the first(president)与native language之间是所有关系。故答案选B项。 ③(2010·湖南省联考)Learning another language is like stepping out of a door, ________ I can look back and see more clearly my own language.
A. by which B. which
C. through which D. on which
答案与解析:C 考查非限制性定语从句引导词。根据语意,“通过那扇门我能回忆并且更能看清楚我自己的语言”,故C项符合题意。3. However, not all advertising is about selling products and services for a profit.然而,并非所有的广告都是为谋求利润而销售产品和服务的。
not all为部分否定,意为“并非都……”。
[解题警示]
(1)英语中的all,both,each,every,everybody,everything,complete,completely,always,whole,wholly,entirely,altogether等具有总括意义的代词、形容词和副词与否定词not连用,构成部分否定,表示“不都、并非都”的意思。(2)英语中的no,none,never,nobody,nothing,neither,no one,nowhere,no more,no longer等表示否定意义的词与肯定式谓语一起使用构成“全部否定”。
While I agree with most of what you said, I don't agree with everything.

I'm not altogether convinced by this argument.
我不完全信服这一论据。 4. “I would have been killed if I'd stayed in the truck,”he said afterwards.“如果我呆在货车里,我也死了,”他之后说。
本句是与过去事实相反的虚拟语气。 [解题警示]
虚拟条件句可分为三类:一类是叙述与现在事实相反的情况;一类是叙述与过去事实相反的情况;另一类是叙述与将来事实相反的情况。其构成列表如下:注意看清if引导的是真实条件句还是非真实条件句。
I wouldn't have gone, if I'd known he was going to be there.
如果我当初知道他也要到那里去,我就不会去的。

④(济南统考)We ________ here at lunch time; we were delayed at the airport, though.
A.could be B.should be
C.must have been D.would have been
答案与解析:D 由句后的“We were delayed at the airport.”知前句未能在午饭时赶到这里,would have done“本来可能做某事,但未能做到”;must have done“肯定做了某事”。二者都用于对过去发生事情的推测,但由句意可知选D项。⑤(成都外国语学校)—How did you manage to travel abroad?
—My parents lent me the money. Otherwise, I________ have afforded the trip.
A. shouldn't B. couldn't
C. mustn't D. needn't
答案与解析:B Otherwise后面的句子用了虚拟语气,表示和过去的事实相反。couldn't have afforded the trip在这里表示“(要不是父母借给我钱,)我就负担不起出国旅游的费用了。”⑥(连云港调研)—Why didn't you pick up the MP4?
—I ________ it, but I didn't carry that much money.

C. homework D. exercises

16. C he was playing in 暗示先行词the bars是介词in的宾语,所以应用that/which。另外A、B为同类项,可首先排除。
17. B Ben sang in a hand, 所以 Declan应该是在注视着他爷爷和他爷爷的同事——音乐人。空后的their music也是暗示。
18. A inspire表示“赋予……灵感”,符合语境,照应了后面的句子“became his early musical influence.”。有兴趣但不一定能出成就,故排除C项。19. D 根据上一句的already singing at two(两岁就会唱歌了)和空格后面的always singing可知,这里指他最初的记忆,而不是“最近的”(latest, recent)记忆。
20. C publicly“公开的,在公众场合地”,符合语境。
21. B 后面的sweeper暗示前面应该是dressed up as(装扮成)。
22. A crowd指听歌的台下的人群,符合语境:观众变得非常狂热。而the masses表示“群众,大众”,the folks“老百姓”,都不符合语境。23. C talent contests“才艺竞赛”。后面的won 16 titles也暗示了本题的答案。
24. B before在这里的意思为“还没有来得及”。遗憾的是Ben还没来得及看到Declan的成功就去世了。
25. A 用However表示转折,意思为“然而”。
26. D 第二段中“his early musical influence”暗示了本题的答案。
27. C a nationwide暗示这是全国范围内的巡回演出,所以只能用tour,表示“巡回演出”。28. A 2002年他推出了首张专辑《迪克兰》,唱片非常成功,登上了英国和爱尔兰排行榜,在“Young Voices”的全国巡回演中,打破了吉尼斯世界纪录。
29. B 由该空所在语境“他不能脱离现实世界”可知,这里应用lose touch with,表示“和……疏远,脱离”。
30. D normal表示“正常的,平常的,普通的”,侧重人的行为、思维、长相等。干扰项是common,侧重没有特殊的地位、头衔等,如a common soldier。
31. A set a goal为习惯用法,意思为“确定目标”。而B、C、D项为同类项,都可以表示“达到、实现(目标)”。32. C career表示“职业”,音乐和唱歌成了他的全部事业。
33. B “发行”专辑用release,“出版”图书用publish。
34. A schoolwork意思为“功课”,与后面的education对应。此外从语言的“小环境”看并不是赶上同学们。
35. D 用develop表示“开发、培养、发展”等,与other skills搭配,意为“培养其他的技能”。Ⅲ.阅读理解 Nowadays credit cards almost replace cash and checks for both individuals and business. Each person's social security number would used as the card number. Firms would use their state identification number. Thus, every individual would be able to pay for everything by credit card—newspapers, donations, tolls, theater admissions, tuition, children's allowances, everything. All salary payments would be credited directly to each individual's account which would pay one's bills, state taxes, and deposit (存款) what's left—if anything—into a saving account. Just think of the convenience of getting rid of cash and checks and even eliminating loose change. No need,then, to worry as before, when you wanted to buy a newspaper and you only had a $ 20 bill. However,with a complete credit card economy, we would still have the problem of thefts of cards, forging of cards and lost cards. Children would lose their cards, mom would leave hers in the other purse, and dad would forget his in other jacket. If a girl did not have room in her bikini for her card, how could she buy a coke at the beach? You could not spend a cent without your card, so the credit card is really not that practical. Something else is needed that is small, always with us, cannot be forged, and easily identifies our account. The answer is your thumbprint; everyone's thumbprint would be recorded with his or her Social Security number! Using thumbprints satisfies all of the requirements. The details of everyone's thumbprint would be picked up on a small scanning screen in the Charging device at each store and business. Corporations, firms and government agencies would use the thumbprint of the treasurer or anyone authorized to sign checks. Even babies could be thumbprinted at birth so they would be prepared to buy their first lollipop! The thumbprint is certainly a handy solution to our money problems. But one final word of advice:if your child is a thumb sucker, don't be too quick to break the habit—keeping his thumb in his mouth may save him money some day. 36. The general idea of this passage is that ________.
A. there are many serious problems in the credit economy
B. the biggest advantage of the credit card is its protection from theft
C. with necessary improvements the credit card economy is becoming the trend of modern economy
D. thumbprint has more advantages than credit card
答案与解析:C 归纳概括题。文章主要讲信用卡的优点、不足和改进,根据题意,应选C项。 37. The underlined word“ eliminating” ( in Paragraph 1 )means ________.
A. killing in large numbers
B. doing away with
C. spending completely
D. protecting from stealing
答案与解析:B 猜词题。eliminating消除的、排除的,根据文章第一自然段第六、七句可知,消除了携带现金和支票的不方便,甚至是消除携带零钱的麻烦,根据题意,应选do away with废除,消灭。38. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A. Without credit card one couldn't make a living in the society.
B. The credit card saves one's trouble of carrying cash with him.
C. The credit card can be used for both payment and deposit.
D. The use of credit card also has its disadvantages.
答案与解析:A 推理判断题。根据文章第一自然段第六句可知,信用卡可使我们省去携带现金和支票带来的不便,B项正确。根据文章第一自然段第四句可知,信用卡可以为任何东西付款,C项正确。根据文章第二自然段可知,信用卡有很多缺点,信用卡被偷、忘记带或是丢失卡片,D项正确。根据题意,应选A项。39. In the last sentence the writer ________.
A. gives a piece of very useful advice
B. tells the harm of a baby's habit of thumb-sucking
C. tries to be humorous about the topic of using the credit card
D. thinks that it's necessary to teach children to be economical 答案与解析:C 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段,指纹无疑是一个对钱这个问题方便的解决办法,但最后一个忠告:如果您的孩子吮吸拇指,不要太快打破习惯——有一天,保持他的拇指在他的嘴里可能会节省他的钱。可推知,作者对信用卡使用这个话题,用了幽默的表达方式,根据题意,应选C项。Ⅳ.短文改错
