Last weekend I visited Rome for the first time.I spent three busy days in the Italian capital，seeing lots of tourist attractions and walking down streets lit with Christmas decorations.There are a lot of things I love about the city.Rome is one of the most ancient cities in the world and is full of wonderful relics (遗迹) from its distant past.These monuments include the Roman Forum and the vast Coliseum where gladiators used to fight each other until death and hunt animals coming from another country.The ruins of buildings and temples are fascinating：you can’t quite believe how old they are.
I studied the masterpieces of the Renaissance period at university and was very excited to see them in real life.I walked around the museum in Vatican City and saw plenty of famous sculptures (雕塑)．The best part of the visit was，without doubt，the Sistine Chapel ceiling，painted in the early 16th century by the great Michelangelo.It was so breathtaking that I couldn’t tear my eyes away from it.
In Rome，there is a lot of food on offer for tourists but some of it isn’t of very good quality.I made an effort to find reliable restaurants to taste the popular meals of the region，like pasta with tomato，onion and bacon.I also love eating ice cream and hot chocolate under the Christmas lights.
Rome has not only lots of luxury boutiques (精品店)but also plenty of shops that were more in my price range! It was a perfect opportunity to go and buy presents for my family and friends.There was also a Christmas market，where I bought a sparkly decoration for the tree.

文章大意：这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了英国的地理概况、组成部分及历史渊源等。

C．another D．other
解析：由上文中的“two large islands.One is called Ireland”可知，此处为两个中的另一个，应选B。

C．defended against D．ruled over
解析：由该句并结合常识可知，“The United Kingdom”就是“the British Isles”中被女王统治的那一部分。
4．A．half B．part
C．most D．whole
解析：由第一段最后一句可知，Britain是由Scotland，Wales和England三部分组成，所以说以上三部分就是整个的Britain。

C．rest D．island
解析：爱尔兰分为两部分，北部为英国统治，其他部分自治。
6．A．correct B．true
C．full D．last

C．poorer D．larger
解析：England比其他的地方更大(larger)，更富有。
9．A．colleges B．officials

C．spellings D．pronunciations
解析：参见上题解析。
11．A．say B．cover
C．show D．write
解析：表示当人们说Britain和British时，常常用England和English这两个单词。

C．elect D．regard
解析：此处表示威尔士人也不把自己看作(regard)英国人。
15．A．ever B．even

C．Meanwhile D．Instead

C．refers D．adds
解析：belong to意为“属于”，Northern Ireland仍旧属于the United Kingdom。
19．A．turned away B．run away
C．broke away D．kept away
解析：1922年爱尔兰剩余的部分脱离了出来。词组break away表示“脱离”。

我发现这所学校的学生经常被老师惩罚。过去分词作宾语补足语2)少数不及物动词如 go，change，fall等的过去分词作宾语补足语时，仅表示动作完成。因此，宾语与过去分词之间不存在逻辑上的被动关系。
①She found her necklace gone on her way home.
在回家的路上，她发现项链不见了。
②In fall，you will find the leaves changed from green to brown.

凶手被带进来了，他的双手被绑在背后。(表方式)
注意：在这一结构中，当宾语为某一身体部位，且作宾补的动词是及物动词时，身体部位通常是过去分词的逻辑宾语，因而过去分词不可换用现在分词。
①She stood in front of him，with her eyes fixed on his face.
她站在他面前，眼睛注视着他的脸。(fix one’s eyes on为固定短语，因此，不可将句中 fixed换为 fixing)
②He stood for an instant with his hand still raised.

我通常在星期天洗衣服，但不是我自己洗。
2)意为“主语遭遇、遭受某一不愉快、不测的事情”。

4．过去分词、现在分词和不定式作宾补的区别单句语法填空
1．(四川卷改编)The manager was satisfied to see many new products _____________ (develop)after great effort.
解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：经理很高兴地看到在作出了很大的努力后，许多新产品被开发了。由语境可知，此处是“see＋宾语＋宾语补足语”这一结构；宾语 many new products与develop之间为动宾关系，故要用过去分词作宾语补足语。developed 2．(北京卷改编)When we saw the road ___________ (block)with snow，we decided to spend the holiday at home.
解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：当我们看到道路被大雪堵住的时候，我们决定在家度假。分析结构可知，此处是“see＋宾语＋宾语补足语”结构；宾补是do，表示“看见宾语干某事的过程”；宾补是doing，指“看见宾语正在干某事”；若宾语与宾补之间为动宾关系，则要用过去分词作宾补。分析结构可知，此处宾语the road与block之间为动宾关系，故用blocked作宾补。
blocked
3．(四川卷改编)Before driving into the city，you are required to get your car __________ (wash)．
解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：在开车进城市之前，按要求你要把你的车洗干净。get后跟复合宾语，宾语是car，与宾补wash之间是被动关系，故用过去分词形式。
washed 4．(江西卷改编)He is thought _______________ (act)foolishly.Now he has no one but himself to blame for losing the job.
解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：他被认为行为愚蠢，现在，除了他自己没有人该为他失去工作负责了。sb./ sth.be thought 后接不定式作主补。又由他现在失去工作可知他行为愚蠢是发生在过去的事情，导致他失去工作，所以要用不定式的完成式。to have acted 选词填空

A
London is the capital of Britain.It is located in the southeast plain of England.The Thames River goes through this city.
The British have lived there for about 3,000 years.The Roman Empire intruded into (侵入)Britannia Island in 54 BC．The Romans built the first wooden bridge over the Thames River.
London is a world-famous cultural city.There are many famous cultural sites.It is one of the world’s great tourist destinations.About eight million people visit London every year.
The largest museum is the British Museum，which was built in the 18th century.There are many ancient cultural relics of Britain and of other countries in the museum.The London Tower stands on the southeast of Tower Mountain.It was once a palace and it is now an exhibition centre.Westminster Hall is located on the west bank of the Thames River and was built in AD 750.It is the largest Gothic building of the world and was a palace in the past，too.
The Clock Tower，which is about 97metres high，is located in the northeast of the parliament.The famous “Big Ben” weighs about 21 tons and its big pendulum is about 305 kilograms.Hyde Park is one of the great parks in the world and it is in the west district of London.There is a free forum there and some people give speeches there every week.They can say almost anything，but they can’t attack the Queen or support violent revolution.
文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。从历史、文化、地理、名胜等方面介绍了伦敦。
1．Which of the following statements is WRONG？ __D__
A．London lies in the southeast plain of England.
B．The British first lived in London thousands of years ago.
C．People can enjoy a walk along the Thames River in London.
D．The Roman Empire intruded into Britannia Island over 2,100 years ago.
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的“The Roman Empire Intruded into(侵入)Britannia Island in 54 BC．”可知罗马帝国入侵Britannia Island大约在2,068年前，而不是在2,100多年前。故选D项。
2．What are the last two paragraphs mainly about？ __A__
A．Some famous cultural sites in London.
B．Some famous museums in London.
C．What makes London famous all over the world.
D．The places which travellers usually visit when in Britain.
解析：主旨大意题。通读文章的最后两段可知这两段主要介绍了英国一些著名的文化遗产。故选A项。
3．If you are interested in the largest Gothic building of the world，you would go to visit __C__.
A．the British Museum B．the London Tower
C．Westminster Hall D．the Clock Tower
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段的“Westminster Hall...is the largest Gothic building of the world...”可知应选C项。
4．We can learn from the passage that __D__.
A．London receives millions of visitors every month
B．only in the British Museum can you see ancient cultural relics of Britain
C．the famous “Big Ben” in the Clock Tower is about 97 metres high
D．not everything can be talked about in the forum at Hyde Park
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段的“They can say almost anything，but they can’t attack the Queen or support violent revolution.”可知，演讲者除了不能攻击女皇和支持暴力运动以外，其他话题都可以讨论。

Americans use many expressions with the word “dog”．People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well.They take their dogs for walks，let them play outside and give them good food and medical care.However，dogs without owners lead a different kind of life.The expression “to lead a dog’s life” describes a person who has an unhappy life.
Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world.That means many people are competing for the same things，like good jobs.They say that to be successful，they have to work like a dog.This means they have to work very hard.Such hard work can make people dogtired.And，the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.
Some people say，“Every dog has its day.”This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life.To be successful people often have to learn new skills.Yet，some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks.They believe that old people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things.
Some other people are compared to dogs in bad ways.People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog.Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they don’t want.But mean dogs are often used to guard the property，for they bark at or attack people who try to enter the property.However，sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad.We say his bark is worse than his bite.
Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather.The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year.A rainstorm may cool the weather，but we do not want it to rain too hard.We don’t want it to rain cats and dogs.
文章大意：文章介绍了美国人使用的与单词“dog”有关的一些习语。
5．A person who lives an unhappy life can be described as“ __B__ ”．
A．becoming sick as a dog B．leading a dog’s life
C．living in a dog-eat-dog world D．working like a dog
解析：细节理解题。第一段的最后一句提到，“to lead a dog’s life”可用来描述生活不幸福的人。因此选B项。
6．The underlined word “mean” in Paragraph 4 most probably means“ __A__ ”．
A．violent B．selfish
C．wild D．poor
解析：词义猜测题。文中提到这种狗被用来看护宅院，如果有人想进去，狗就会狂吠或者攻击他们，且前面提到“People who are unkind or uncaring...as meaner than...”，由此推断该词的含义是“凶猛的”。
7．To support his idea，the author develops the text mainly by __C__.
A．listing reasons B．using idioms
C．giving examples D．making comparisons
解析：推理判断题。本文在介绍与狗有关的习语时举了各种相关的例子。因此选C项。
Ⅳ．语法填空
The Serpentine River, added to London’s Hyde Park in 1730, is an 1. __enjoyable__ (enjoy)scenic spot.Queen Caroline asked for the river to look as natural as possible and the river 2. __was named__ (name)because of its snake-like shape.

文章大意：这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了the Serpentine River的一些情况。
1．解析：考查词形转换。分析句子结构可知，此处要用形容词修饰名词scenic spot。
2．解析：考查时态和语态。句意：这条河由于像蛇一样的形状而得名。根据语境可知，空处应用一般过去时，且the river与name之间是被动关系，所以要用一般过去时的被动语态。
3．解析：考查非谓语动词。permit sb. to do sth.“允许某人做某事”，是固定用法，这里是其被动形式。
4．解析：考查副词。分析句子结构可知，空处修饰动词rise，应用副词形式。roughly“大致”。
5．解析：考查连词。训练时可以穿潜水服，但是比赛期间不能穿。即使在冬季也不能穿。前后表转折关系，故填but。
6．解析：考查主谓一致。句子的主语“Half the members of the club”是复数，所以谓语动词要用复数形式。
7．解析：考查介词。consist of “由……组成”，是固定用法。
8．解析：考查时态。根据句中的in 1864可知，动作发生在过去，所以要用一般过去时。
9．解析：考查关系代词。分析句子结构可知，空处引导一个非限制性定语从句，指代先行词James Matthew Barrie，且在从句中作主语，所以用who。
10．解析：考查非谓语动词。Barrie与attract之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，故此处应用动词-ed形式作状语。

4．注意合理地运用过渡词语，将各自然段有机地结合在一起，使整篇文章过渡自然、条理清晰；
5．要准确使用表示方位的词及短语，同时注意详略，重点部分要突出，详细描述。位置：be located/lie；in the center of/in the east of/to the east of/on the west of...
