B
Another
man?made
wonder
of
the
US
was
built
long
before
the
nation
was
established.About
900
years
ago,
the
Ancestral
Puebloan
people
built
villages
high
in
the
walls
of
canyons
(大峡谷)
in
Colorado,
where
600
cliff
dwellings
are
now
part
of
the
Mesa
Verde
National
Park.
Visitors
can
stand
at
the
top
and
look
into
the
dwellings
almost
hidden
in
openings
of
the
rock
walls.The
Puebloan
people
cut
small
steps
into
the
rock,
which
connected
buildings
containing
hundreds
of
rooms.
The
rock
walls
have
protected
the
buildings
from
severe
weather
in
the
area;
therefore,
they
remain
mostly
unchanged
in
the
hundreds
of
years
since
they
were
built.
Our
final
man?made
wonder
is
in
the
northwestern
city
of
Seattle,
Washington.The
Space
Needle
was
built
as
the
central
structure
for
the
1962
World's
Fair.
The
184?meter?tall
structure
was
designed
by
Edward
Carlson,
which
has
a
wide
base
on
the
ground,
with
its
middle
narrow
and
a
large
ring?like
structure
on
top.The
structure
was
meant
to
look
like
a
“flying
saucer”，
a
vehicle
that
was
popular
in
science
fiction
space
travel
stories.The
saucer
includes
an
observation
area
and
eating
place.The
restaurant
slowly
turns
to
provide
visitors
with
a
360
degree
view
of
Seattle.
The
Space
Needle
was
not
very
costly,
and
was
designed
and
completed
in
about
a
year
and
opened
on
the
first
day
of
the
World's
Fair.
Today,
the
Space
Needle
is
the
most
popular
place
for
visitors
to
Seattle.And
it
remains
the
internationally
known
symbol
of
the
city.
4．What
can
be
talked
about
before
the
passage?
A．American
geography.
B．Touring
in
the
USA.
C．Other
US
artificial
wonders.
D．World
natural
wonders.
5．The
underlined
word
“dwellings”
is
closest
in
meaning
to
“
”．
A．houses
B．people
C．canyons
D．steps
6．Which
is
TRUE
about
the
Space
Needle?
A．It
remains
a
symbol
of
the
US.
B．Edward
Carlson
built
the
structure.
C．It
has
a
ring?like
structure
on
top.
D．It
is
a
man?made
wonder
in
Colorado.
7．Which
of
the
following
is
the
best
title
for
the
passage?
A．Cultural
Relics
B．Artificial
Wonders
in
the
US

C
I
have
been
very
lucky
to
have
won
the
Nobel
Prize
twice.It
is,
of
course,
very
exciting
to
have
such
an
important
recognition
of
my
work,
but
the
real
pleasure
was
in
the
work
itself.Scientific
research
is
like
an
exploration
of
a
voyage
of
discovery.You
are
continually
trying
out
new
things
that
have
not
been
done
before.Many
of
them
will
lead
nowhere
and
you
have
to
try
something
different,
but
sometimes
an
experiment
does
work
and
tells
you
something
new
and
that
is
really
exciting.However
small
the
new
finding
may
be,
it
is
great
to
think“I
am
the
only
person
who
knows
this”and
then
you
will
have
the
fun
of
thinking
what
this
finding
will
lead
to
and
deciding
what
will
be
the
next
experiment.One
of
the
best
things
about
scientific
research
is
that
you
are
always
doing
something
different
and
it
is
never
boring.There
are
good
times
when
things
go
well
and
bad
times
when
they
don't.Some
people
get
discouraged
at
the
difficult
times
but
when
I
have
a
failure,
my
policy
has
always
been
not
to
worry
but
to
start
planning
the
next
experiment,
which
is
always
fun.
It
is
very
exciting
to
make
a
new
discovery.Some
people
will
do
the
strangest
things
for
this
excitement,
such
as
going
round
the
world
in
a
balloon
or
walking
to
the
North
Pole.There
are
not
many
new
places
to
explore
but
there
is
a
lot
of
new
information
to
be
discovered
in
science
and
a
journey
into
this
unknown
area
can
be
much
more
worthwhile
and
just
as
exciting.
I
am
sometimes
asked,
“What
do
you
have
to
do
to
win
a
Nobel
Prize?
”My
answer
is:
“I
don't
know.I
have
never
tried.”But
I
know
of
one
way
not
to
win
one.There
are
some
people
whose
main
reason
for
doing
science
is
to
win
prizes
and
they
are
always
thinking
about
how
to
do
it.Such
people
don't
succeed.To
do
good
science
you
must
be
interested
in
it
and
enjoy
doing
experiments
and
thinking
out
problems.And,
of
course,
you
must
be
prepared
to
work
hard
and
not
to
be
too
discouraged
by
failure.

．
A．to
win
the
Nobel
Prize
for
the

be
awarded
the
Nobel
Prize
for
the
second
time
C．in
the
work
itself
D．to
have
a
much
more
important
recognition
of
his
work
9．Why
did
the
writer
think
scientific
research
to
be
one
of
the
best
things?
A．You
will
be
able
to
win
the
Nobel
Prize
through
the
scientific
research.

can
make
as
much
money
as
possible
by
doing

scientific
research.
C．You

and
exciting,
so
you

be
tired
of
doing
the
scientific
research.
D．You
can
get
much
more
chances
of
promotion
by
making
the
scientific
research.
10．What
would
the
writer
do
when
he
had
a
failure?
A．He
would
forget
this
failure
and
start
the
next
experiment.
B．He
used
to
be
worried
about
it
for
several
days
and
never
forget
it.
C．He
always
gave
up
his
study
as
the
result
of
the
failure.
D．He
used
to
think
out
the
reasons
and
then
continue
to
do
it
again.
11．Which
of
the
following
is
TRUE
according
to
the
passage?
A．The
writer
could
still
keep
calm
when
he
heard
the
news
that
he
had
won
the
Nobel
Prize.
B．The
writer
always
gave
up
his
courage
when
he
met
with
some
difficulties
in
the
course
of
his
scientific
research.
C．In
the
field
of
science
there
are
still
many
new
things
which
need
to
be
studied
further.
D．There
are
still
many
exciting
places
to
explore
in
the
world.
D
The
Internet
has
opened
a
new
world
of
opportunity
for
even
the
smallest
home?based
business
owner.There
are
a
great
number
of
self?made
millionaires
(百万富翁)
that
have
achieved
their
success
on
the
Internet.Do
you
want
to
know
their
secrets
of
being
successful?
If
a
company
doesn't
care
enough
about
its
own
domain
name
(域名),
customers
may
not
feel
comfortable
when
doing
business.A
company
with
its
own
domain
name
and
a
professional?looking
website
will
have
a
much
higher
rate
of
success.
A
website
can
present
both
you
and
your
business
directly.Creating
a
professional
website
takes
a
lot
of
time
and
efforts,
as
there
are
many
more
things
to
think
about
than
the
website's
design.You
must
give
your
visitors
a
reason
to
visit
and
continue
to
visit
your
website
in
the
future;
just
provide
your
visitors
with
fresh
contents.
Your
words
are
the
foundation
(基础)
of
your
business.Your
product,
website
and
marketing
strategies
all
depend
on
your
words.You
must
learn
how
to
write
persuasive
(有说服力的)
words
especially
for
your
customers.You
must
feel
your
customers'
needs
and
write
with
passion,
excitement
and
consideration.
As
an
Internet
business
owner,
it
is
your
personal
responsibility
to
make
sure
that
your
visitors
feel
very
comfortable
with
you
and
your
website.In
order
to
gain
confidence
and
your
visitor's
trust,
you
first
have
to
build
your
credibility
(信誉)．
Your
attitude
is
the
most
important
factor
in
determining
your
success.You
must
think
positively
and
be
willing
to
deal
with
any
difficulties
that
come
along.All
you
must
do
is
to
believe
that
you
can
do
whatever
you
put
your
mind
to.

满分12.5分)
Last
week，we
talked
about
how
to
start
and
organize
your
English
Club.This
week，we
share
ideas
for
effective
and
fun
activities
to
do
with
your
English
Club.
Warm?up
activities
are
good
ways
to
start
any
club
meeting.
16
Here
are
a
few
warm?up
activities
that
can
be
used
with
any
age
or
skill
level.
The
first
is
called
Two
Truths
and
a
Lie.This
activity
can
be
done
in
pairs，small
groups，or
the
whole
English
club.
17
Two
of
the
facts
are
true，and
one
is
a
lie.They
tell
the
group
the
three
facts，and
the
group
must
decide
which
one
is
the
lie.Each
participant
takes
a
turn
with
this
activity.
18
For
this
activity，tell
everyone
to
think
of
a
person，place
or
thing
and
write
it
down
on
a
piece
of
paper.Collect
the
pieces
of
paper
and
mix
them
around
in
a
big
bowl.Then，divide
the
club
into
two
teams.Each
team
then
takes
turns
having
one
person
go
to
the
front
of
the
room
to
take
a
piece
of
paper.
19
As
soon
as
a
team
member
correctly
guesses
the
word，the
person
then
selects
another
word
from
the
bowl.Each
team
has
30
seconds
to
guess
as
many
words
as
possible.
Finally，for
groups
that
do
not
like
activities，you
can
simply
start
a
club
meeting
with
a
warm?up
discussion
question，or
by
sharing
a
word
or
quote
of
the
day.
There
are
hundreds
of
possibilities
for
English
club
activities.
20
The
important
thing
to
remember
is
to
keep
things
fun
and
keep
your
club
members
motivated.
A．The
second
is
called
Stating
Things.
B．This
article
provides
you
with
a
good
start.
C．Another
warm?up
activity
is
Salad
Bowl.
D．They
cause
club
members
to
speak
more
English.
E．One
person
comes
up
with
three
facts
about
themselves.
F．The
person
must
then
describe
the
word
to
other
team
members.
G．They
help
people
relax
and
prepare
them
to
start
speaking
English.

Afraid
to
have
a
start，I
was
walking
slowly
into
my
first
school
in
America.I
had
21
a
long
way
from
India
in
order
to
join
parents.They
had
been
here
for
three
years，and
hoped
America
would
help
my
future.My
father
decided
that
I
would
go
to
school
here，so
I
found
a
local
high
school
in
my
new
town.
With
22
on
one
hand
and
fear
on
the
other，I
arrived
at
the
classroom.Everyone's
eyes
were
on
me
as
I
entered
the
classroom.Without
paying
attention
to
them，I
went
straight
to
the
23
and
asked
if
it
was
the
right
class.With
a
24
voice，he
answered.“Yes.”His
voice
comforted
me
a
little.He
gave
me
a
piece
of
25
called“course
requirements”，which
I
would
never
get
in
India.Then
he
asked
me
to
choose
where
I
would
sit.I
chose
the
26
closest
to
the
door
instead
of
the
corner
where
all
of
the
boys
were
sitting.I
didn't
27
want
to
pick
a
seat.In
India，the
teacher
28
seats，so
I
never
needed
to
worry
about
that.I
spent
the
rest
of
the
class
taking
notes
from
the
picture
produced
by
the
overhead
projector(投影仪)．
29
it
was
my
first
day，I
was
confused
about
which
hallway(走廊)
to
use，but
I
30
to
get
to
my
classes
without
asking
anyone.I
was
very
confused
about
when
I
would
have
31
．It
was
noon
when
I
went
to
my
next
class
and
the
bell
rang
as
I
entered.I
went
through
the
normal
process
of
asking
the
teacher
if
I
was
in
the
right
class.Feeling
32
，she
said，“That
is
the
lunch
bell.”I
felt
a
little
awkward.Without
another
word，I
headed
for
the
cafeteria(食堂)．
At
the
end
of
the
day，I
was
on
my
way
to
the
bus
stop.I
realized
that
all
the
33
was
like
the
difficulty
I
had
to
34
to
reach
my
goal.I
35
my
bus
and
sat
down
inside
happily.I
said
to
myself：Today
isn't
so
bad.

That
first
afternoon,
when
I
came
downstairs
from
my
classroom
and
put
my
hand
in
my
mailbox,
I
got
a
sinking
feeling
in
my
stomach.The
check
I
expected
and
badly
needed
wasn't
there.
When
I
asked
the
school
secretary
what
happened,
she
informed
me
that
the
teachers
weren't
paid
until
the
end
of
the
month.This
was
a
problem.I
had
only
four
dollars
left,
and
the
end
of
the
month
was
a
whole
month
away.
My
first
teaching
experience
had
been
in
a
small
school
in
Missouri,
where
the
teachers
always
received
the
first
month's
check
the
first
day
of
school.Now,
here
in
the
big
St.Louis
Public
School
System,
I
found
things
worked
differently.
What
to
do?
I
had
come
into
St.Louis
two
weeks
before
as
required
for
all
new
teachers
to
prepare
their
lessons
and
had
spent
my
little
reserve.Now
with
the
four
dollars
I
couldn't
even
pay
for
my
cheap
motel
room
that
night,
much
less
buy
dinner
and
gasoline.
I
had
my
trumpet(小号)
in
the
car,
as
I
played
the
trumpet
and
a
little
piano.So
I
did
something
most
musicians
have
done
at
one
time
or
another.I
decided
to
pawn(典当)
my
trumpet.
I
drove
downtown
to
an
unpleasant
area
where
the
pawn
shops
and
cheap
bars
were.I
pawned
my
trumpet
for
fifteen
dollars,
and
now
I
had
enough
money
to
get
through
the
night
and
the
next
day
of
school,
but
then
what?
There
was
a
little
bar
nearby.I
walked
in
and
ordered
a
thirty?cent
beer.I
was
the
only
customer.I
sat
there
sipping
my
beer
and
trying
to
think
my
way
out
of
this
problem.
“You
look
like
you
lost
your
last
friend,
Son，”said
the
owner
of
the
bar.“What's
the
matter？”
His
name
was
Charlie,
and
he
was
a
pleasant
man
about
60,
which
seemed
quite
old
to
me
at
the
time.I
was
about
24.I
told
him
what
had
happened
and
about
pawning
my
trumpet.Then
I
stared
at
the
old
piano
I
had
seen
as
I
came
in
the
door.
Paragraph
1：
“Play
the
piano,
too,
do
you？”asked
Charlie.
Paragraph
2：
When,
after
a
month,
I
finally
got
paid,
I
went
back
to
the
bar.

B
Another
man?made
wonder
of
the
US
was
built
long
before
the
nation
was
established.About
900
years
ago,
the
Ancestral
Puebloan
people
built
villages
high
in
the
walls
of
canyons
(大峡谷)
in
Colorado,
where
600
cliff
dwellings
are
now
part
of
the
Mesa
Verde
National
Park.
Visitors
can
stand
at
the
top
and
look
into
the
dwellings
almost
hidden
in
openings
of
the
rock
walls.The
Puebloan
people
cut
small
steps
into
the
rock,
which
connected
buildings
containing
hundreds
of
rooms.
The
rock
walls
have
protected
the
buildings
from
severe
weather
in
the
area;
therefore,
they
remain
mostly
unchanged
in
the
hundreds
of
years
since
they
were
built.
Our
final
man?made
wonder
is
in
the
northwestern
city
of
Seattle,
Washington.The
Space
Needle
was
built
as
the
central
structure
for
the
1962
World's
Fair.
The
184?meter?tall
structure
was
designed
by
Edward
Carlson,
which
has
a
wide
base
on
the
ground,
with
its
middle
narrow
and
a
large
ring?like
structure
on
top.The
structure
was
meant
to
look
like
a
“flying
saucer”，
a
vehicle
that
was
popular
in
science
fiction
space
travel
stories.The
saucer
includes
an
observation
area
and
eating
place.The
restaurant
slowly
turns
to
provide
visitors
with
a
360
degree
view
of
Seattle.
The
Space
Needle
was
not
very
costly,
and
was
designed
and
completed
in
about
a
year
and
opened
on
the
first
day
of
the
World's
Fair.
Today,
the
Space
Needle
is
the
most
popular
place
for
visitors
to
Seattle.And
it
remains
the
internationally
known
symbol
of
the
city.
【语篇解读】 美国有很多著名的奇观和建筑，而人造奇观反映了美国人民的智慧和创造精神，本文主要介绍了美国的两大人造景观。
4．What

the
USA.

wonders.

wonders.
C [推理判断题。根据第一段第一句可推断，在这篇文章之前应该是谈论了美国其他的人造奇观。]

underlined
word
“dwellings”
is
closest
in
meaning

B．people
C．canyons

C
I
have
been
very
lucky
to
have
won
the
Nobel
Prize
twice.It
is,
of
course,
very
exciting
to
have
such
an
important
recognition
of
my
work,
but
the
real
pleasure
was
in
the
work
itself.Scientific
research
is
like
an
exploration
of
a
voyage
of
discovery.You
are
continually
trying
out
new
things
that
have
not
been
done
before.Many
of
them
will
lead
nowhere
and
you
have
to
try
something
different,
but
sometimes
an
experiment
does
work
and
tells
you
something
new
and
that
is
really
exciting.However
small
the
new
finding
may
be,
it
is
great
to
think“I
am
the
only
person
who
knows
this”and
then
you
will
have
the
fun
of
thinking
what
this
finding
will
lead
to
and
deciding
what
will
be
the
next
experiment.One
of
the
best
things
about
scientific
research
is
that
you
are
always
doing
something
different
and
it
is
never
boring.There
are
good
times
when
things
go
well
and
bad
times
when
they
don't.Some
people
get
discouraged
at
the
difficult
times
but
when
I
have
a
failure,
my
policy
has
always
been
not
to
worry
but
to
start
planning
the
next
experiment,
which
is
always
fun.
It
is
very
exciting
to
make
a
new
discovery.Some
people
will
do
the
strangest
things
for
this
excitement,
such
as
going
round
the
world
in
a
balloon
or
walking
to
the
North
Pole.There
are
not
many
new
places
to
explore
but
there
is
a
lot
of
new
information
to
be
discovered
in
science
and
a
journey
into
this
unknown
area
can
be
much
more
worthwhile
and
just
as
exciting.
I
am
sometimes
asked,
“What
do
you
have
to
do
to
win
a
Nobel
Prize?
”My
answer
is:
“I
don't
know.I
have
never
tried.”But
I
know
of
one
way
not
to
win
one.There
are
some
people
whose
main
reason
for
doing
science
is
to
win
prizes
and
they
are
always
thinking
about
how
to
do
it.Such
people
don't
succeed.To
do
good
science
you
must
be
interested
in
it
and
enjoy
doing
experiments
and
thinking
out
problems.And,
of
course,
you
must
be
prepared
to
work
hard
and
not
to
be
too
discouraged
by
failure.

而是接着进行下一个实验研究；做科研要有兴趣，

Nobel
Prize
for
the
second
time

the
work
itself
D．to

work

very
exciting
to
have
such
an
important
recognition
of
my
work,
but
the
real
pleasure
was

9．Why
did
the
writer
think
scientific
research
to
be
one
of

will
be
able
to
win
the
Nobel
Prize
through
the
scientific
research.
B．You
can
make
as
much
money
as
possible
by
doing
the
scientific
research.
C．You
may
continue
doing
with
something
different
and
exciting,
so
you
can
never
be
tired
of
doing
the
scientific
research.
D．You
can
get
much
more
chances
of
promotion
by
making
the
scientific
research.
C [细节理解题。根据第一段中的“One
of
the
best
things
about
scientific
research
is
that
you
are
always
doing
something
different
and
it
is
never
boring.”可知，
作者认为，
科研工作永远不会枯燥、无聊，
因为你一直在做不同的事情。故选C。]
10．What
would
the
writer
do
when
he
had
a
failure?
A．He
would
forget
this
failure
and
start
the
next
experiment.
B．He
used
to
be
worried
about
it
for
several
days
and
never
forget
it.
C．He
always
gave
up
his
study
as
the
result
of
the
failure.
D．He
used
to
think
out
the
reasons
and
then
continue
to
do
it
again.
A [细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“...but
when
I
have
a
failure,
my
policy
has
always
been
not
to
worry
but
to
start
planning
the
next
experiment,
which
is
always
fun.”可知，
实验失败时，
作者会去计划下一个实验，
而不总是感到沮丧。故选A。]
11．Which
of
the
following
is
TRUE
according
to
the
passage?
A．The
writer
could
still
keep
calm
when
he
heard
the
news
that
he
had
won
the
Nobel
Prize.
B．The
writer
always
gave
up
his
courage
when
he
met

the
field
of
science
there
are
still
many
new
things
which
need
to
be
studied
further.
D．There
are
still
many
exciting
places
to
explore
in
the
world.
C [细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“...there
is
a
lot
of
new
information
to
be
discovered
in
science
and
a
journey
into
this
unknown
area
can
be
much
more
worthwhile
and
just

就科学而言，
仍然有许多未知的新信息需要去探索和发现。故选C。]
D
The
Internet
has
opened
a
new
world
of
opportunity
for
even
the
smallest
home?based
business
owner.There
are
a
great
number
of
self?made
millionaires
(百万富翁)
that
have
achieved
their
success
on
the
Internet.Do
you
want
to
know
their
secrets
of
being
successful?
If
a
company
doesn't
care
enough
about
its
own
domain
name
(域名),
customers
may
not
feel
comfortable
when
doing
business.A
company
with
its
own
domain
name
and
a
professional?looking
website
will
have
a
much
higher
rate
of
success.
A
website
can
present
both
you
and
your
business
directly.Creating
a
professional
website
takes
a
lot
of
time
and
efforts,
as
there
are
many
more
things
to
think
about
than
the
website's
design.You
must
give
your
visitors
a
reason
to
visit
and
continue
to
visit
your
website
in
the
future;
just
provide
your
visitors
with
fresh
contents.
Your
words
are
the
foundation
(基础)
of
your
business.Your
product,
website
and
marketing
strategies
all
depend
on
your
words.You
must
learn
how
to
write
persuasive
(有说服力的)
words
especially
for
your
customers.You
must
feel
your
customers'
needs
and
write
with
passion,
excitement
and
consideration.
As
an
Internet
business
owner,
it
is
your
personal
responsibility
to
make
sure
that
your
visitors
feel
very
comfortable
with
you
and
your
website.In
order
to
gain
confidence
and
your
visitor's
trust,
you
first
have
to
build
your
credibility
(信誉)．
Your
attitude
is
the
most
important
factor
in
determining
your
success.You
must
think
positively
and
be
willing
to
deal
with
any
difficulties
that
come
along.All
you
must
do
is
to
believe
that
you
can
do
whatever
you
put
your
mind
to.

12．The
underlined
word
“strategies”
in
the
fourth
paragraph
probably
means

A．chances
B．policies
C．powers
D．possibilities

one
of
the
following
is
the
author's

towards

A．It
takes
less

only
thing
needed
to
think
about
is

needs
to

Ⅱ.阅读七选五(共5小题；
每小题2.5分，
满分12.5分)
Last
week，we
talked
about
how
to
start
and
organize
your
English
Club.This
week，we
share
ideas
for
effective
and
fun
activities
to
do
with
your
English
Club.
Warm?up
activities
are
good
ways
to
start
any
club
meeting.
16
Here
are
a
few
warm?up
activities
that
can
be
used
with
any
age
or
skill
level.
The
first
is
called
Two
Truths
and
a
Lie.This
activity
can
be
done
in
pairs，small
groups，or
the
whole
English
club.
17
Two
of
the
facts
are
true，and
one
is
a
lie.They
tell
the
group
the
three
facts，and
the
group
must
decide
which
one
is
the
lie.Each
participant
takes
a
turn
with
this
activity.
18
For
this
activity，tell
everyone
to
think
of
a
person，place
or
thing
and
write
it
down
on
a
piece
of
paper.Collect
the
pieces
of
paper
and
mix
them
around
in
a
big
bowl.Then，divide
the
club
into
two
teams.Each
team
then
takes
turns
having
one
person
go
to
the
front
of
the
room
to
take
a
piece
of
paper.
19
As
soon
as
a
team
member
correctly
guesses
the
word，the
person
then
selects
another
word
from
the
bowl.Each
team
has
30
seconds
to
guess
as
many
words
as
possible.
Finally，for
groups
that
do
not
like
activities，you
can
simply
start
a
club
meeting
with
a
warm?up
discussion
question，or
by
sharing
a
word
or
quote
of
the
day.
There
are
hundreds
of
possibilities
for
English
club
activities.
20
The
important
thing
to
remember
is
to
keep
things
fun
and
keep
your
club
members
motivated.
A．The
second
is
called
Stating
Things.
B．This
article
provides
you
with
a
good
start.
C．Another
warm?up
activity
is
Salad
Bowl.
D．They
cause
club
members
to
speak
more
English.
E．One
person
comes
up
with
three
facts
about
themselves.
F．The
person
must
then
describe
the
word
to
other
team
members.
G．They
help
people
relax
and
prepare
them
to
start
speaking
English.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了英语俱乐部的几种热身活动，以唤醒学生对英语的喜爱。
16．G [空格前讲到热身活动是开始俱乐部会议的好方式，结合选项可知，G项“热身活动可让人们放松，准备好开始说英语”承接上文，故选G。]
17．E [空格后讲到“两个是事实，一个是谎言”，与E项中three
facts相呼应，故选E。]
18．C [本段主要讲了第二个热身活动的游戏规则，一组成员从碗中取出纸条进行描述，另一组成员进行猜测。C项“另一个热身活动是沙拉碗”符合语境。]
19．F [空格后讲到“只要有一名成员正确猜出这个词语，这个人就再从碗里挑选一张纸条”，F项“然后这个人必须向其他成员描述这一词语”符合语境。]
20．B [英语俱乐部有数百种活动，而本文只是提出了几种热身活动，故B项“本文提供了一个好的开始”符合语境。]
Ⅲ.完形填空
(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)
Afraid
to
have
a
start，I
was
walking
slowly
into
my
first
school
in
America.I
had
21
a
long
way
from
India
in
order
to
join
parents.They
had
been
here
for
three
years，and
hoped
America
would
help
my
future.My
father
decided
that
I
would
go
to
school
here，so
I
found
a
local
high
school
in
my
new
town.
With
22
on
one
hand
and
fear
on
the
other，I
arrived
at
the
classroom.Everyone's
eyes
were
on
me
as
I
entered
the
classroom.Without
paying
attention
to
them，I
went
straight
to
the
23
and
asked
if
it
was
the
right
class.With
a
24
voice，he
answered.“Yes.”His
voice
comforted
me
a
little.He
gave
me
a
piece
of
25
called“course
requirements”，which
I
would
never
get
in
India.Then
he
asked
me
to
choose
where
I
would
sit.I
chose
the
26
closest
to
the
door
instead
of
the
corner
where
all
of
the
boys
were
sitting.I
didn't
27
want
to
pick
a
seat.In
India，the
teacher
28
seats，so
I
never
needed
to
worry
about
that.I
spent
the
rest
of
the
class
taking
notes
from
the
picture
produced
by
the
overhead
projector(投影仪)．
29
it
was
my
first
day，I
was
confused
about
which
hallway(走廊)
to
use，but
I
30
to
get
to
my
classes
without
asking
anyone.I
was
very
confused
about
when
I
would
have
31
．It
was
noon
when
I
went
to
my
next
class
and
the
bell
rang
as
I
entered.I
went
through
the
normal
process
of
asking
the
teacher
if
I
was
in
the
right
class.Feeling
32
，she
said，“That
is
the
lunch
bell.”I
felt
a
little
awkward.Without
another
word，I
headed
for
the
cafeteria(食堂)．
At
the
end
of
the
day，I
was
on
my
way
to
the
bus
stop.I
realized
that
all
the
33
was
like
the
difficulty
I
had
to
34
to
reach
my
goal.I
35
my
bus
and
sat
down
inside
happily.I
said
to
myself：Today
isn't
so
bad.

【语篇解读】 作者虽然残疾，但通过自己的努力获得了成功。他的事迹告诉我们：有志者，事竟成。
36．disability [考查词性转换。根据下文的in
a
special

37．truly [考查词性转换。这里用副词修饰形容词happy，故填truly。]
38．was
placed [考查动词的时态和语态。语境表明此处用一般过去时；句中主语I是动词的承受者，所以用一般过去时的被动语态。]

That
first
afternoon,
when
I
came
downstairs
from
my
classroom
and
put
my
hand
in
my
mailbox,
I
got
a
sinking
feeling
in
my
stomach.The
check
I
expected
and
badly
needed
wasn't
there.
When
I
asked
the
school
secretary
what
happened,
she
informed
me
that
the
teachers
weren't
paid
until
the
end
of
the
month.This
was
a
problem.I
had
only
four
dollars
left,
and
the
end
of
the
month
was
a
whole
month
away.
My
first
teaching
experience
had
been
in
a
small
school
in
Missouri,
where
the
teachers
always
received
the
first
month's
check
the
first
day
of
school.Now,
here
in
the
big
St.Louis
Public
School
System,
I
found
things
worked
differently.
What
to
do?
I
had
come
into
St.Louis
two
weeks
before
as
required
for
all
new
teachers
to
prepare
their
lessons
and
had
spent
my
little
reserve.Now
with
the
four
dollars
I
couldn't
even
pay
for
my
cheap
motel
room
that
night,
much
less
buy
dinner
and
gasoline.
I
had
my
trumpet(小号)
in
the
car,
as
I
played
the
trumpet
and
a
little
piano.So
I
did
something
most
musicians
have
done
at
one
time
or
another.I
decided
to
pawn(典当)
my
trumpet.
I
drove
downtown
to
an
unpleasant
area
where
the
pawn
shops
and
cheap
bars
were.I
pawned
my
trumpet
for
fifteen
dollars,
and
now
I
had
enough
money
to
get
through
the
night
and
the
next
day
of
school,
but
then
what?
There
was
a
little
bar
nearby.I
walked
in
and
ordered
a
thirty?cent
beer.I
was
the
only
customer.I
sat
there
sipping
my
beer
and
trying
to
think
my
way
out
of
this
problem.
“You
look
like
you
lost
your
last
friend,
Son，”said
the
owner
of
the
bar.“What's
the
matter？”
His
name
was
Charlie,
and
he
was
a
pleasant
man
about
60,
which
seemed
quite
old
to
me
at
the
time.I
was
about
24.I
told
him
what
had
happened
and
about
pawning
my
trumpet.Then
I
stared
at
the
old
piano
I
had
seen
as
I
came
in
the
door.
Paragraph
1：
“Play
the
piano,
too,
do
you？”asked
Charlie.
Paragraph
2：
When,
after
a
month,
I
finally
got
paid,
I
went
back
to
the
bar.
【参考范文】
Paragraph
1：
“Play
the
piano,
too,
do
you？”asked
Charlie.He
said
with
a
smile，“Perhaps
it
can
help
you
get
through
the
trouble.”I
felt
my
eyes
light
up
at
the
invitation.“Really？”A
feeling
of
hesitation，however，fell
upon
me.Charlie
encouraged
me
to
give
it
a
try.When
I
finished
a
piece,
he
applauded.“No
problem
at
all！”Since
then,
I
would
often
spend
time
relaxing
in
the
bar.Though
there
was
usually
no
customer
at
all,
Charlie
was
my
loyal
listener.
Paragraph
2：
When,
after
a
month,
I
finally
got
paid,
I
went
back
to
the
bar.With
great
gratitude
towards
Charlie,
I
knocked
at
the
door.However,
no
one
came
to
answer
it.Then
I
found
the
door
was
not
locked
and
there
was
nothing
inside
except
the
old
piano.A
letter
on
it
drew
my
attention.I
learnt
from
it
that
Charlie
had
been
to
California
and
would
never
come
back.But
what
impressed
me
most
was
the
last
line
and
it
remains
my
motto.It
reads，“God
never
takes
your
hope
away.”
