生活在大都市——伦敦给作者带来各式各样的便捷,虽然作者很喜欢这样的感觉,但是作者还是想离开这里,回到自己的家园。
Life in London
At the moment, I’m living in London, the capital city of the UK and in a busy, tourist-filled metropolis(大都市), but it’s easy to feel like a small fish in a very big pond.
I take the tube to work. The London underground is a great transport network and you can get across London by underground much more quickly than by bus.However, it’s often very crowded on the tube in the morning.There’s no air conditioning on the tube, and when there are a lot of people on board you’ll feel very uncomfortable. Occasionally(偶尔) there are delays which can be frustrating when you need to get to work!The tube can be quite expensive, and a single ticket can be up to £4.Luckily, if you have an Oyster card you pay almost half of that!
As a capital city, London has loads of great attractions.Some of them require an entrance fee, but
there are lots of things that you can do for free.The Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace is a well-known event.You can watch it for free but you need to get there early if you want a good view!Most museums in London are free for everyone to enjoy, but donations are welcome.
One thing I love about London is the free newspapers and magazines.On Tuesdays, a magazine called Time Out is published and it has great tips on what events will happen in London in the coming week.If you like fashion, you can pick up a copy of Stylist on Wednesdays.Every day, two newspapers are printed.You can pick up a copy of the Metro during the day, or later in the afternoon you can obtain a copy of the London Evening Standard.The articles aren’t too long, and it’s a great way to keep up with the news!
Though I’m enjoying living in London temporarily(临时地), it’ll be nice to escape the big smoke and return home!

PUZZLES①IN GEOGRAPHY
People may wonder why different words are used to describe② these four countries: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.You can clarify③ this question if you study British history.
First there was England. Wales was linked to④ it in the thirteenth century. Now when people refer to⑤ England you find Wales included as well. Next England and Wales were joined to Scotland in the seventeenth century and later the name was changed to “Great Britain”. Happily this was accomplished⑥ without conflict⑦ when King James of Scotland became King of England and Wales as well. Finally the English government tried in the early twentieth century to form the United Kingdom by getting Ireland connected in the same peaceful way. However, the southern part of Ireland was unwilling⑧ and broke away⑨ to form its own government. So only Northern Ireland joined with England, Wales and Scotland to become the United Kingdom and this was shown to the world in a new flag called the Union JackB10.
◆when...to England为when引导的时间状语从句,find Wales included为“find+宾语+宾补”结构。
◆by getting...way为方式状语,其中getting Ireland connected为“get+宾语+宾补”结构。
◆动词不定式短语to become...Kingdom作结果状语。
◆过去分词短语called the Union Jack作后置定语,修饰a new flag。
To their credit? the four countries do work together in some areas (eg, the currency? and international relations), but they still have very different institutions?. For example, Northern Ireland, England and Scotland have different educational? and legal? systems as well as different football teams for competitions like the World Cup!
◆do在此强调谓语动词,表示“的确,确实”。
England is the largest of the four countries, and for convenience? it is divided roughly? into three zones. The zone nearest France is called the South of England, the middle zone is called the Midlands and the one nearest to Scotland is known as? the North. You find most of the population settled in the south, but most of the industrial cities in the Midlands and the North of England. Although, nationwide? , these cities are not as large as? those in China, they have world-famous football teams and some of them even have two! It is a pity that the industrial cities built in the nineteenth century do not attractB21 visitors. For historicalB22 architectureB23 you have to go to older but smaller towns built by the Romans. There you will find out more about British history and culture.
◆Although...in China为Although引导的让步状语从句。those指代前面的cities。
◆It为形式主语,that...visitors为真正的主语。在该主语从句中,过去分词短语built...century作后置定语,修饰the industrial cities。
◆过去分词短语built by the Romans作后置定语,修饰towns。
地理之谜
人们也许对为什么用不同的词来描述英格兰、威尔士、苏格兰和北爱尔兰这四个国家感到奇怪。如果你学习英国历史,你就能弄清楚这个问题了。
首先是英格兰。威尔士于13世纪就同英格兰联合起来了。如今当人们提起英格兰时,你就会发现威尔士也被包括在内。接着,英格兰、威尔士同苏格兰在17世纪联合起来了,并且随后名字就被改成了“大不列颠”。所幸的是,当苏格兰的国王詹姆斯也成为英格兰和威尔士的国王时,这三个国家和平地实现了联合。最后,英国政府在20世纪初打算以同样和平的方式把爱尔兰联合进来形成联合王国。然而,爱尔兰的南部不愿意组建联合王国,它分离出去并建立了自己的政府。因此只有北爱尔兰同英格兰、威尔士和苏格兰联合起来组成了联合王国,这从向世界展示的新的英国国旗上就可以看出来。
值得赞扬的是,这四个国家的确在一些方面共同合作,例如在货币和国际关系方面;但是有些制度仍然区别很大。如北爱尔兰、英格兰和苏格兰拥有不同的教育制度和法律制度,并且它们有各自的足球队,参加像世界杯之类的比赛!
在这四个国家中,英格兰是最大的。为方便起见,它大致可以划分为三个地区。最靠近法国的那个地区叫作英格兰南部地区,中部地区叫作英格兰中部地区,最靠近苏格兰的那个地区叫作英格兰北部地区。你会发现大部分人定居在南部,而大多数的工业城市都位于英格兰的中部和北部。尽管从全国范围看,这些城市不如中国的城市那样大,但是它们都拥有世界闻名的足球队,有的城市甚至有两支足球队!可惜的是,这些建于19世纪的工业城市对游客没有什么吸引力。要找那些历史建筑,你得去更古老的、比较小的城镇,它们是由古罗马人建造的。在那儿你会找到更多有关英国历史和文化的东西。
The greatest historical treasure of all is London with its museums, art collectionsB24 , theatres, parks and buildings. It is the centre of national government and its administrationB25. It has the oldest portB26 built by the Romans in the first century AD, the oldest building begun by the Anglo-Saxons in the 1060s and the oldest castle constructedB27 by later Norman rulers in 1066. There have been four setsB28 of invadersB29 of England. The first invaders, the Romans, left their towns and roads. The second, the Anglo-Saxons, left their language and their government.The third, the Vikings, influencedB30 the vocabulary and place-names of the North of England, and the fourth, the Normans, left castlesB31 and introduced new words for food.
◆the oldest port..., the oldest building...和the oldest castle...为并列宾语,相对应的后面的过去分词短语作后置定语,修饰前面的名词。
If you look around the British countrysideB32 you will find evidenceB33 of all these invaders. You must keep your eyes open if you are going to make your trip to the United Kingdom enjoyableB34 and worthwhileB35.
◆主句中“keep...open”为“keep+宾语+宾补”结构,形容词open作宾补。if引导的条件状语从句中“make...enjoyable and worthwhile”为“make+宾语+宾补”结构。, 最具有历史意义的宝地是伦敦,那里有博物馆、艺术藏品、剧院、公园和各种建筑物。它是国家的政治和行政中心。它有公元1世纪由古罗马人建造的最古老的港口,有由盎格鲁-撒克逊人始建于11世纪60年代的最古老的建筑,还有公元1066年由后来的诺曼统治者建造的最古老的城堡。曾经有四批入侵者侵入英格兰。第一批入侵者古罗马人,留下了他们的城镇和道路。接着是盎格鲁-撒克逊人,留下了他们的语言和政体。第三批是斯堪的纳维亚人,他们对词汇以及北部的地名造成了一定的影响。第四批是诺曼人,他们留下了城堡和食物名称的词语。
如果你到英国乡间去看看,你就会发现所有这些入侵者的痕迹。如果要使你的英国之旅愉快且值得,你就必须留心观察。

A
I came from a small country in East Africa with a refugee(难民) background.Before the airplane landed in Melbourne, I set two goals.One was to complete my Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering and the other one was to help my parents back home so that they would have a secure future.
I arrived on November 12, 1994.The next day, I enrolled_in Bachelor’s Degree courses in Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Victoria University of Technology.It took me five years to finish all the courses and then I continued completing my Master’s Degree in Engineering.
I also spent my time in Melbourne on a volunteer activity mainly helping refugees.I also helped their young children to get rid of bad habits and focus on education.I did about 14 different types of jobs to support myself and my family.I worked as a taxi driver and during that time, I learned to be patient and also improved my communication skills and the ability to deal with hard clients.I worked as a pizza delivery man, a technician, a cleaner, a guide, and many others.Each step in my life, I tried my best to learn something new and I believe that shaped my life at the end and made me a better man.
Throughout these years, I have achieved several Education Scholarships and National Awards.I love my life in Australia and I am now helping many kids in my spare time.I teach children and also elderly people from Africa.I have brought my parents to live with me here.I have my own house and a family with three beautiful kids.
My advice to young people is, “Do one thing at a time and put your effort into the thing you do.You will find at the end the result will be a positive one.”

A.His family led a very poor life.
B.It is important to be a better man.
C.There are many refugees in Melbourne.
D.He learned a lot from his work experiences.

B.Meaningful and satisfying.

B
Many Americans who love tea would laugh at the idea of adding milk to it.Brits, on the other hand, are known for loving strong tea with milk.But with or without milk, tea is tea.It’s served one way in Britain and another way in the United States, but everyone can recognize it for what it is.The language that Americans and Brits speak differently is a bit like that—understandable to both groups of speakers.
As colonists(殖民者) in America didn’t have the ease of communication and transportation available today, they couldn’t keep in touch with their grandparents in Europe.People in America first noticed that their English was special about one hundred years after settling in Jamestown.Faced with Native Americans as well as with immigrants(移民) from Germany, France, and other countries, the settlers had to create original words to adapt to their new society.
Some words exist in both British English and American English, but they mean divergent things.For example, if you requested a caretaker in England, you might be introduced to someone who cleans a building.To Americans, a caretaker is someone who takes care of someone, such as a child or a sick person, or who looks after something while the owner is away.
One man is responsible for many of the spelling differences that exist between American and British English.His name is Noah Webster—the same Webster of Webster’s Dictionary.He decided that Americans should be independent, not only politically, but also lexically(词汇上).That’s why you’ll notice an extra U in some British words like colour, armour, and humour.American English tends to end words with-ize rather than the British-ise.The-er ending of words like theater and center is reversed(颠倒的) in British English words.
Apart from vocabulary and spelling differences in both languages, what people care most is the grammar rules, which are easy to understand but kind of hard to master.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了英式英语和美式英语的部分区别。
5.What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A.American people are unfamiliar with tea culture.
B.British people have a better taste than Americans.
C.The differences between British and American English are acceptable.
D.There are more British English speakers than American English speakers.
C 解析:细节理解题。根据第一段的“everyone can recognize it for what it is...understandable to both groups of speakers”可知,人们认可英式英语和美式英语的差异。
6.Why did the settlers in America create their original words?
A.To learn the special culture of Native Americans.
B.To improve the connection with European countries.
C.To deal with the difficulty in learning standard English.
D.To communicate with people from various backgrounds.
D 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段的“Faced with Native Americans as well as with immigrants(移民) from...adapt to their new society.”可知,美国定居者创造出一些自己的文字是为方便和来自各种背景的人交流。
7.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “divergent” in Paragraph 3?
A.Common. B.Different.
C.Useful. D.Terrible.
B 解析:词义猜测题。根据第三段的例子“if you requested a caretaker in England...something while the owner is away”可知,同一个caretaker在英美英语中有截然不同的意思,由此可推断divergent在此处意为“不同的,迥异的”。
8.What is Webster’s contribution to American English?
A.He led the use of right dictionaries.
B.He brought in some new pronunciations.
C.He encouraged unique American spellings.
D.He made American English easy to understand.
C 解析:细节理解题。根据第四段的“He decided that Americans should be independent...but also lexically(词汇上).”可知,韦伯斯特致力于保持美式英语的独特性。

Many Americans who love tea would laugh at the idea of adding milk to it.Brits, on the other hand, are known for loving strong tea with milk.But with or without milk, tea is tea.It’s served one way in Britain and another way in the United States, but everyone can recognize it for what it is.The language that Americans and Brits speak differently is a bit like that—understandable to both groups of speakers.
As colonists(殖民者) in America didn’t have the ease of communication and transportation available today, they couldn’t keep in touch with their grandparents in Europe.People in America first noticed that their English was special about one hundred years after settling in Jamestown.Faced with Native Americans as well as with immigrants(移民) from Germany, France, and other countries, the settlers had to create original words to adapt to their new society.
Some words exist in both British English and American English, but they mean divergent things.For example, if you requested a caretaker in England, you might be introduced to someone who cleans a building.To Americans, a caretaker is someone who takes care of someone, such as a child or a sick person, or who looks after something while the owner is away.
One man is responsible for many of the spelling differences that exist between American and British English.His name is Noah Webster—the same Webster of Webster’s Dictionary.He decided that Americans should be independent, not only politically, but also lexically(词汇上).That’s why you’ll notice an extra U in some British words like colour, armour, and humour.American English tends to end words with-ize rather than the British-ise.The-er ending of words like theater and center is reversed(颠倒的) in British English words.
Apart from vocabulary and spelling differences in both languages, what people care most is the grammar rules, which are easy to understand but kind of hard to master.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了英式英语和美式英语的部分区别。

A.Common. B.Different.

B 解析:词义猜测题。根据第三段的例子“if you requested a caretaker in England...something while the owner is away”可知,同一个caretaker在英美英语中有截然不同的意思,由此可推断divergent在此处意为“不同的,迥异的”。
8.What is Webster’s contribution to American English?
A.He led the use of right dictionaries.
B.He brought in some new pronunciations.
C.He encouraged unique American spellings.

The North Pole has fascinated polar explorers for over a century—they all want to be the first to arrive there.
In 1969, British man Sir Wally Herbert was the first confirmed person to reach the North Pole on foot—with a team of dogs.And American Ann Bancroft was the first woman to trek(艰苦跋涉) there in 1986, as part of an expedition team led by Will Steger—also the first team to do so without supplies.And in 2006, Eric Larsen together with Lonnie Dupre, became the first to reach the North Pole on foot during the summer—when sea ice is looser than usual—in an attempt to raise awareness of climate change.
In fact, Eric Larsen did not grow up in an environment of polar exploration, though he found himself looking for a job as musher(赶狗拉雪橇的人).Then he got a chance to travel to Arctic, which made his short trips become longer trips, and become bigger expeditions later.
On the job training, Larsen was trained to adapt to the cold outdoor lifestyle and polar exploration culture.Once he arrived in Arctic, he was instantly hooked.And from then on, he started his expedition.
It was Will Steger who led the first unsupported North Pole expedition in 1986 that really inspired Larsen. “He is probably one of the biggest modern-day pioneers of polar exploration, ” Larsen says.
Larsen has since been to the North Pole a few times, was among the first mountaineers to reach the top of Jabou Ri in Nepal in 2015, and even made an attempt to be the first person to bike across Antarctica to the South Pole in 2012.He’s also the first to have trekked to the North Pole, the South Pole, and the top of Everest—within the span(跨度) of one year.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了Eric Larsen的探险经历。
1.What do people mentioned in Paragraph 2 have in common?
A.Exploring the North Pole by ship.
B.Reaching the North Pole in the same century.
C.Working on raising awareness of climate change.
D.Being the first to explore the North Pole in different ways.
D 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段的叙述可知,文章提到的这些人的共同点就是:以这样或那样的方式成为第一个到达北极探险的人。
2.What is the main cause of Eric Larsen becoming an explorer?
A.His on-the-job training.
B.His traveling to the Arctic.
C.His job-hunting experience.
D.His living environment in childhood.
B 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段的“Then he got a chance to travel to Arctic...became bigger expeditions later.”及第四段的“Once he arrived...started his expedition.”可知,真正让他成为一名探险者的是他后来有机会去北极。
3.What does the underlined word “hooked” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Attracted. B.Disturbed.
C.Rescued. D.Abandoned.
A 解析:词义猜测题。根据第四段的“And from then, he started his expedition.”及第六段的探险经历可推知,Larsen一到北极就被吸引住了,从此开始了他的探险之旅。
4.What does Larsen think of Will Steger’s expedition?
A.Normal. B.Dangerous.
C.Admirable. D.Expensive.
C 解析:推理判断题。根据第五段的“He is probably one of the biggest modern-day pioneers of polar exploration”可知,Larsen觉得Will Steger的北极探险是令人敬佩的。

International model United Nations meetings are events at which high school and college students from all over the world play the role of UN representatives. These meetings are largely based on the real United Nations. They are even divided into many of the same groups, such as the UN Security Council and the World Health Organization. The events allow students to develop and strengthen skills that are important for international careers, such as politics or international law.
One of the main goals of the meetings is to develop effective(有效的) communication skills. Because of this, students take part in many presentations(陈述), debates, and written research tasks. For example, at the end of every meeting, each student group writes a suggestion for solving one major world problem that they have learned about through their research tasks. These groups then discuss their suggestion with the rest of the student representatives in order to get them to support it. They may also discuss and solve invented problems, such as imaginary wars or natural disasters. Such activities challenge students’ abilities to express their thoughts in a clear, thoughtful way.
In addition to working on basic communication, students at the meetings try to express themselves in polite ways that help to solve problems. This is perhaps the most difficult task for real UN delegates(代表), so model UN organizers put great importance on it. The organizers strongly encourage students to try to understand the ideas of others, consider their feelings, and agree on solutions.
The meetings are also designed to help students become more open-minded. Students often play the role of representatives for countries other than their own. This encourages them to learn more about other cultures and to think about important problems in different ways. While pretending to be from a different country, students are receiving a lot of ideas and information that they would not normally consider. Usually, they come away with a much better understanding of people in different cultures. This experience often gives them an advantage over schoolmates who only learn about world events and international relations in traditional classrooms.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。模拟联合国会议可以帮助参与其中的学生培养良好的沟通技巧、用礼貌的方式表达自己,并且可以开阔学生的视野。

7.What does the author say about students learning only in traditional classrooms?
A.They are given a lot of information.
B.They don’t learn about international events.
C.It’s easy for them to understand their classmates.

The North Pole has fascinated polar explorers for over a century—they all want to be the first to arrive there.
In 1969, British man Sir Wally Herbert was the first confirmed person to reach the North Pole on foot—with a team of dogs.And American Ann Bancroft was the first woman to trek(艰苦跋涉) there in 1986, as part of an expedition team led by Will Steger—also the first team to do so without supplies.And in 2006, Eric Larsen together with Lonnie Dupre, became the first to reach the North Pole on foot during the summer—when sea ice is looser than usual—in an attempt to raise awareness of climate change.
In fact, Eric Larsen did not grow up in an environment of polar exploration, though he found himself looking for a job as musher(赶狗拉雪橇的人).Then he got a chance to travel to Arctic, which made his short trips become longer trips, and become bigger expeditions later.
On the job training, Larsen was trained to adapt to the cold outdoor lifestyle and polar exploration culture.Once he arrived in Arctic, he was instantly hooked.And from then on, he started his expedition.
It was Will Steger who led the first unsupported North Pole expedition in 1986 that really inspired Larsen. “He is probably one of the biggest modern-day pioneers of polar exploration, ” Larsen says.
Larsen has since been to the North Pole a few times, was among the first mountaineers to reach the top of Jabou Ri in Nepal in 2015, and even made an attempt to be the first person to bike across Antarctica to the South Pole in 2012.He’s also the first to have trekked to the North Pole, the South Pole, and the top of Everest—within the span(跨度) of one year.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了Eric Larsen的探险经历。
1.What do people mentioned in Paragraph 2 have in common?
A.Exploring the North Pole by ship.
B.Reaching the North Pole in the same century.
C.Working on raising awareness of climate change.
D.Being the first to explore the North Pole in different ways.
D 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段的叙述可知,文章提到的这些人的共同点就是:以这样或那样的方式成为第一个到达北极探险的人。
2.What is the main cause of Eric Larsen becoming an explorer?
A.His on-the-job training.
B.His traveling to the Arctic.
C.His job-hunting experience.
D.His living environment in childhood.
B 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段的“Then he got a chance to travel to Arctic...became bigger expeditions later.”及第四段的“Once he arrived...started his expedition.”可知,真正让他成为一名探险者的是他后来有机会去北极。
3.What does the underlined word “hooked” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Attracted. B.Disturbed.
C.Rescued. D.Abandoned.
A 解析:词义猜测题。根据第四段的“And from then, he started his expedition.”及第六段的探险经历可推知,Larsen一到北极就被吸引住了,从此开始了他的探险之旅。
4.What does Larsen think of Will Steger’s expedition?
A.Normal. B.Dangerous.
C.Admirable. D.Expensive.
C 解析:推理判断题。根据第五段的“He is probably one of the biggest modern-day pioneers of polar exploration”可知,Larsen觉得Will Steger的北极探险是令人敬佩的。

International model United Nations meetings are events at which high school and college students from all over the world play the role of UN representatives. These meetings are largely based on the real United Nations. They are even divided into many of the same groups, such as the UN Security Council and the World Health Organization. The events allow students to develop and strengthen skills that are important for international careers, such as politics or international law.
One of the main goals of the meetings is to develop effective(有效的) communication skills. Because of this, students take part in many presentations(陈述), debates, and written research tasks. For example, at the end of every meeting, each student group writes a suggestion for solving one major world problem that they have learned about through their research tasks. These groups then discuss their suggestion with the rest of the student representatives in order to get them to support it. They may also discuss and solve invented problems, such as imaginary wars or natural disasters. Such activities challenge students’ abilities to express their thoughts in a clear, thoughtful way.
In addition to working on basic communication, students at the meetings try to express themselves in polite ways that help to solve problems. This is perhaps the most difficult task for real UN delegates(代表), so model UN organizers put great importance on it. The organizers strongly encourage students to try to understand the ideas of others, consider their feelings, and agree on solutions.
The meetings are also designed to help students become more open-minded. Students often play the role of representatives for countries other than their own. This encourages them to learn more about other cultures and to think about important problems in different ways. While pretending to be from a different country, students are receiving a lot of ideas and information that they would not normally consider. Usually, they come away with a much better understanding of people in different cultures. This experience often gives them an advantage over schoolmates who only learn about world events and international relations in traditional classrooms.

SIGHTSEEING① IN LONDON
Worried about the time available②,Zhang Pingyu had made a list of the sites she wanted to see in London. Her first delight③ was going to the Tower. It was built long ago by the Norman invaders of AD 1066. Fancy!This solid stone, square tower had remained④ standing for one thousand years. Although the buildings had expanded⑤ around it, it remained part of a royal⑥ palace and prison combined. To her great surprise⑦, Zhang Pingyu found the Queen’s jewels guarded by special royal soldiers who, on special occasions⑧, still wore the four-hundred-year-old uniform⑨ of the time of Queen Elizabeth Ⅰ.
◆形容词短语Worried about ...available作原因状语;she wanted to see in London为省略关系词的定语从句,修饰先行词the sites。
◆was going to the Tower不是be going to do结构,而是系表结构,v.-ing短语going to the Tower作表语。
◆found...guarded为“find+宾语+宾语补足语”结构,其中宾语补足语由动词的过去分词充当。
There followed St Paul’s Cathedral built after the terrible fire of London in 1666. It looked splendid⑩ when first built! Westminster Abbey, too, was very interesting.It contained? statues? in memory of? dead poets and writers, such as Shakespeare. Then just as she came out of the abbey, Pingyu heard the famous sound of the clock, Big Ben, ringing out? the hour. She finished the day by looking at the outside of Buckingham Palace,the Queen’s house in London. Oh, she had so much to tell her friends!
◆There followed ...in 1666为there be句型的变体。过去分词短语built...in 1666作后置定语,修饰St Paul’s Cathedral。built表示被动和完成。
◆when first built为状语从句的省略,when之后省略了it was。
◆as...abbey为as引导的时间状语从句,heard...ringing out the hour为“hear+宾语+宾语补足语”结构。
The second day the girl visited Greenwich and saw its old ships and famous clock that sets the world time. What interested her most was the longitude? line.It is an imaginary? line dividing the eastern and western halves of the world and is very useful for navigation?. It passes through Greenwich, so Pingyu had a photo taken standing on either side of the line.
◆that引导定语从句,修饰先行词famous clock。
◆What...most为what引导的主语从句。
◆现在分词短语dividing...world作后置定语,修饰an imaginary line。
◆had a photo taken为“have+宾语+宾补”结构,现在分词短语standing...line作状语。
The last day she visited Karl Marx’s statue in Highgate Cemetery. It seemed strange that the man who had developed communism? should have lived and died in London. Not only that, but he had worked in the famous reading room of the Library of the British Museum. Sadly the library had moved from its original? place into another building and the old reading room was gone. But she was thrilled? by so many wonderful treasures from different cultures displayed in the museum. When she saw many visitors enjoying looking at the beautiful old Chinese potsB21 and other objects on showB22 , she felt very proud of her country.
◆It为形式主语,that引导的从句为真正的主语,在that引导的从句中,who引导定语从句,修饰先行词the man。should表示“竟然,居然”。
◆过去分词短语displayed in the museum作后置定语,修饰so many wonderful treasures。
◆saw...enjoying为“see+宾语+宾补”结构。
The next day Pingyu was leaving London forB23 Windsor Castle.“Perhaps I will see the Queen?” she wondered as she fell asleepB24.
◆was leaving...Windsor Castle为进行时表将来。
◆as在此引导时间状语从句。
伦敦游记
由于担心时间不够,张萍玉早就把她想要在伦敦参观的地方列了一张清单。她最先想参观的地方是伦敦塔。它是很久以前由公元1066年入侵的诺曼人修建的。真是不可思议!这座坚固的石制方形塔已经屹立了1 000年之久。尽管在塔的四周扩建了一些建筑,但它仍然是皇宫和监狱联合体的一个组成部分。让张萍玉异常惊讶的是,她发现女王的珠宝由皇家特别卫士守护着,而这些士兵在一些特殊的日子仍然穿着400年前伊丽莎白一世女王时代的制服。
接着(参观的)是圣保罗大教堂,它是在公元1666年伦敦那场可怕的大火之后建造的。刚建成的时候,它看起来金碧辉煌!威斯敏斯特教堂也是很有意思的地方。这里珍藏着纪念已故诗人和作家的雕像,如莎士比亚的雕像。正当萍玉走出教堂的时候,她听到了著名的大本钟整点敲响的钟声。她参观了女王在伦敦的住所——白金汉宫的外面,以此结束了一天的观光。啊,她有很多话要给朋友们讲!
第二天,萍玉姑娘参观了格林尼治天文台,看到了古老的船只和那座著名的为世界定时的钟。她最感兴趣的是那条经线。它是一条假想的线,它把世界分成东西两个半球,并对航海极为有用。这条线穿过格林尼治,所以萍玉就拍了一张跨着这条线的照片。
最后一天,她参观了伦敦海格特墓地里卡尔·马克思的雕像。这似乎是一件怪事:这位发展了共产主义的人竟然在伦敦生活过,并且在伦敦去世。不仅如此,他还在大英博物馆著名的图书阅览室里工作过。遗憾的是,这座图书馆已经从原来的地方搬到另一座大楼里去了,原来的阅览室就没有了。但是令她感到非常兴奋的是博物馆里展出了那么多来自不同文化的令人惊叹的宝物。当她看到许多参观者用欣赏的目光注视着古老、漂亮的中国陶罐和其他展品时,她为祖国感到非常自豪。
再过一天,萍玉就要离开伦敦去温莎城堡了。她边睡觉边想:“也许我能见到女王呢?”

Each year, the women of Olney, England, and Liberal, Kansas, have an unusual “pancake racing”. This tradition is said to have started on Shrove Tuesday, 1445, in Olney. Shrove Tuesday is the day before the Christian season of Lent begins.
It is said that in 1445, an Olney woman was making pancakes. She suddenly heard the church(教堂) bells ring, signaling the beginning of the Shrove Tuesday service. Realizing that she was going to be late for church, she raced out the door still wearing her apron(围裙) and headscarf and holding her frying pan(锅) with a pancake in it. Olney women continue this tradition more than 500 years later.
In 1950, a person of Liberal wanted his town to join in Olney Pancake Race. He made some phone calls to Olney to set up a friendly competition, and the people of Olney accepted the challenge.
The rules are simple. Racers must wear the traditional headscarf and apron. They have to flip(抛) the pancake in the air so that it flips and lands back in the pan on the other side. After the race, there are Shrove Tuesday church services. Then Liberal and Olney connect through a video call to compare race times and announce a winner.
In both towns, the races have grown into larger festivals. Olney’s festival is an all-day event starting with a big pancake breakfast. Liberal’s festival lasts four days and includes a parade, a great show, and eating competitions.
Although the women’s race is still the main event, both towns now hold races for boys and girls of all ages. Emma Evans, 14, was the winner of her age group’s race in Liberal last year. She wore an apron that her grandma made for her and used a pan passed down to her from her older brother. Her family cheered her on from the sidelines.
“It’s a family tradition,” Emma says. “And there are only two places in the world that compete against each other in a race like this, so it feels special.”

A
Last summer I got a real taste of Swiss life when I spent six weeks with a host family in the Bernese Alps. After much preparation, my departure(出发) time finally arrived. Needless to say, I was pretty nervous. All I knew about my host family was that it consisted of two parents and three kids: an 18-year-old girl and two boys. I knew I was staying in a place called Erlenbach in central Switzerland. Although I had read about Switzerland, I really didn’t know what to expect.
My host father picked me up at the train station and drove me to Erlenbach, a beautiful mountain village. One of the best things about living with a host family was that I was not feeling like a tourist. I wasn’t traveling around Europe, seeing the major sights; I was absorbed in a different culture. I participated in my family’s day-to-day activities, whether helping pick berries in the garden or going to friends’ houses.
While many aspects of the Swiss culture are similar to America’s, there are lots of differences, too. Probably my biggest shock was the language. I expected the Swiss to speak German, but they speak a dialect called Swiss German, which has hardly anything in common with German. I couldn’t understand when my host family talked to each other. At times I was very frustrated, but I reminded myself that I was in Switzerland, and then my bad mood disappeared. I enjoyed every minute of my stay here above the clouds. I became more independent as a result of my six-week stay.
Signing up for a cultural exchange is probably the biggest risk I have ever taken, but it is also the most rewarding. I still keep in touch with my host family via email. I hope to return and stay with them for a year, which they have encouraged me to do. When I left, I promised I would return to Erlenbach.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文,文章叙述了作者在瑞士寄宿家庭生活的难忘经历。

A.What would happen in Switzerland remains unknown.
B.He was not familiar with his host family.
C.It was the first time he had gone abroad.
D.He hadn’t prepared well enough.
A 解析:细节理解题。根据第一段的“Although I had read about Switzerland, I really didn’t know what to expect.”可知,作者对瑞士的了解仅限于从书本上的一点知识,而接下来会发生些什么还不知道,所以在出发前作者很忐忑。
2.The second paragraph mainly tells us ________.
A.some unforgettable activities in his host family
B.the author’s traveling experience in Europe
C.the advantages of living in a host family
D.some well-known attractions in Europe
C 解析:段落大意题。本段主要告诉我们寄宿家庭给作者带来的好处,也就是寄宿家庭的优势。

A.He couldn’t communicate with the host family well.
B.He couldn’t speak German as his second language.
C.He was not independent enough.
D.He had no new friends.

A.Difficult. B.Boring.

No one can deny(否认) that LeBron James gets paid a lot of money—but no one can deny that he hasn’t earned it either. He’s broken the records of greats like Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson. He’s a talent(天才).
Professional athletes like LeBron give their lives to their sport— to training, traveling, and pushing themselves to the limit. And while their lives may seem glamorous,_think about this: Athletes face injuries that can be not only career-ending but also life-changing. In fact, many retired(退休的) athletes have long-term health problems because of how hard they push on their bodies. Retired New York Jets player Wesley Walker said that he suffered so much pain as a result of playing football that today he can hardly open a water bottle.
The toll(代价) a professional athlete’s career takes on his or her body means more than a lifetime of pain (and medical bills); it also means a short career. Athletes need pay that will carry them past the 5 to 15 years they are able to play.
Without the showstopping performances of stars like Serena Williams and Stephen Curry, many jobs wouldn’t exist. Sports reporters, stadium workers, cheerleaders, and coaches are among those who can thank the professional sports industry for their employment.
It may seem unfair that athletes get paid to play a game, but remember who they are really playing for: us. We’re the ones who fill stadiums in rain and snow to watch their games, who crowd around the television to cheer them on, and who feel immeasurable joy when our team wins.
The work of professional athletes certainly pays off for us. Shouldn’t it pay off for them too?
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了职业运动员值得获得高额薪酬的原因。
5.What does the underlined word “glamorous” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Difficult. B.Tiresome.
C.Attractive. D.Organized.
C 解析:词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“Athletes face injuries that can be not only career-ending but also life-changing.”及画线词所在句子中的while可知,while在这里表示“然而”的意思,是对前后两个事物的对比,由此可知,虽然运动员的生活看起来很“吸引人”,但是运动带给他们的伤痛不仅会终止他们的职业生涯还会改变他们的人生。
6.Which of the following may the author agree with?
A.Professional athletes have no idea about their limits.
B.Injuries are a problem for professional athletes.
C.Retired professional athletes are badly treated.
D.Professional athletes’ careers are short.
B 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“many retired(退休的) athletes have long-term health problems...he can hardly open a water bottle”及第三段中的“The toll(代价) a professional athlete’s career takes on his or her body means more than a lifetime of pain”可知,很多职业运动员都会受到疾病的困扰。
7.What is the author’s attitude to athletes’ high salaries?
A.Doubtful. B.Surprised.
C.Supportive. D.Unconcerned.
C 解析:推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Athletes need pay that will carry them past the 5 to 15 years they are able to play.”以及第四、五段的内容可知,职业运动员忍受着伤痛并要为巨额的医疗费买单,此外他们也带动了体育行业的发展,为很多人提供了就业机会,因此作者认为职业运动员应该得到高额的薪酬。
8.What is the best title for the text?
A.The Most Impressive Athletes
B.You Can’t Put a Price on Talent
C.You Shouldn’t Push Athletes Hard
D.Salaries in the Professional Sports Industry
B 解析:标题归纳题。根据文中作者对职业运动员该得到高额薪酬的论述及最后一段的内容可知,人们不能给天才定价,他们的付出是无价的。

【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。研究表明,晚睡对人们的健康有害。因此,晚睡的人应该改变工作模式,减少对健康的危害。
1.was carried 解析:考查动词的时态和语态。根据语境可知,研究是在英国被做的,陈述过去的事实,故用动词的一般过去时的被动形式。
2.looking 解析:考查非谓语动词。spend time doing sth.,表示“花费时间做某事”,故填looking。
3.comparison 解析:考查名词。所填词在句中作made的宾语,故用名词形式comparison。
4.more likely 解析:考查形容词的比较级。根据语境可知,晚睡的人更有可能缩短寿命,故用比较级形式more likely。
5.concluded 解析:考查动词的时态。根据语境可知,研究已经完成,陈述过去的一个事实,故用动词的过去式形式。
6.to reduce 解析:考查非谓语动词。动词不定式短语to reduce the risks of poor health for night owls在句子中作目的状语。
7.that/which 解析:考查关系代词。关系代词that/which在句子中引导限制性定语从句,作主语。
8.so 解析:考查连词。Malcolm建议晚睡的人应该被允许工作开始和结束晚一点, 这样他们早上能够多睡一会儿。此处表结果,故用so。
9.easily 解析:考查副词。所填词修饰动词,故用副词形式easily。
10.the 解析:考查冠词。during the week表示“工作日”。

The toll(代价) a professional athlete’s career takes on his or her body means more than a lifetime of pain (and medical bills); it also means a short career. Athletes need pay that will carry them past the 5 to 15 years they are able to play.
Without the showstopping performances of stars like Serena Williams and Stephen Curry, many jobs wouldn’t exist. Sports reporters, stadium workers, cheerleaders, and coaches are among those who can thank the professional sports industry for their employment.
It may seem unfair that athletes get paid to play a game, but remember who they are really playing for: us. We’re the ones who fill stadiums in rain and snow to watch their games, who crowd around the television to cheer them on, and who feel immeasurable joy when our team wins.
The work of professional athletes certainly pays off for us. Shouldn’t it pay off for them too?
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了职业运动员值得获得高额薪酬的原因。
5.What does the underlined word “glamorous” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Difficult. B.Tiresome.
C.Attractive. D.Organized.
C 解析:词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“Athletes face injuries that can be not only career-ending but also life-changing.”及画线词所在句子中的while可知,while在这里表示“然而”的意思,是对前后两个事物的对比,由此可知,虽然运动员的生活看起来很“吸引人”,但是运动带给他们的伤痛不仅会终止他们的职业生涯还会改变他们的人生。
6.Which of the following may the author agree with?
A.Professional athletes have no idea about their limits.
B.Injuries are a problem for professional athletes.
C.Retired professional athletes are badly treated.
D.Professional athletes’ careers are short.
B 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“many retired(退休的) athletes have long-term health problems...he can hardly open a water bottle”及第三段中的“The toll(代价) a professional athlete’s career takes on his or her body means more than a lifetime of pain”可知,很多职业运动员都会受到疾病的困扰。
7.What is the author’s attitude to athletes’ high salaries?
A.Doubtful. B.Surprised.
C.Supportive. D.Unconcerned.
C 解析:推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Athletes need pay that will carry them past the 5 to 15 years they are able to play.”以及第四、五段的内容可知,职业运动员忍受着伤痛并要为巨额的医疗费买单,此外他们也带动了体育行业的发展,为很多人提供了就业机会,因此作者认为职业运动员应该得到高额的薪酬。
8.What is the best title for the text?
A.The Most Impressive Athletes
B.You Can’t Put a Price on Talent
C.You Shouldn’t Push Athletes Hard
D.Salaries in the Professional Sports Industry
B 解析:标题归纳题。根据文中作者对职业运动员该得到高额薪酬的论述及最后一段的内容可知,人们不能给天才定价,他们的付出是无价的。

【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。研究表明,晚睡对人们的健康有害。因此,晚睡的人应该改变工作模式,减少对健康的危害。
1.was carried 解析:考查动词的时态和语态。根据语境可知,研究是在英国被做的,陈述过去的事实,故用动词的一般过去时的被动形式。
2.looking 解析:考查非谓语动词。spend time doing sth.,表示“花费时间做某事”,故填looking。
3.comparison 解析:考查名词。所填词在句中作made的宾语,故用名词形式comparison。
4.more likely 解析:考查形容词的比较级。根据语境可知,晚睡的人更有可能缩短寿命,故用比较级形式more likely。
5.concluded 解析:考查动词的时态。根据语境可知,研究已经完成,陈述过去的一个事实,故用动词的过去式形式。
6.to reduce 解析:考查非谓语动词。动词不定式短语to reduce the risks of poor health for night owls在句子中作目的状语。
7.that/which 解析:考查关系代词。关系代词that/which在句子中引导限制性定语从句,作主语。
8.so 解析:考查连词。Malcolm建议晚睡的人应该被允许工作开始和结束晚一点, 这样他们早上能够多睡一会儿。此处表结果,故用so。
9.easily 解析:考查副词。所填词修饰动词,故用副词形式easily。
10.the 解析:考查冠词。during the week表示“工作日”。
