11、手)去修建自己的房屋。hopeful 有希望的；literary 文藝的，書本的；cultural文化的。 2．C 考查動詞詞義辨析。這里指的是在冬天到來前就要完成房屋的修建。所以用complete，意思是：完成。倒數(shù)第三段 “By fall, Marc had finished his home．”中有同義詞復(fù)現(xiàn)：finish。 3. A 考查動詞詞義辨析。 倒數(shù)第三段“The first winter storm destroyed his home and he froze to 16 ．The villagers mourned for him．”告訴我們，由于Paul修建

12、的房子不好，被凍死了，人們都來哀悼他，但沒有幫助他度過寒冬，由此可以看出，在這一奇怪的傳統(tǒng)中，別人是不能提供幫助的，所以選help。 4．D考查語境話選詞。上一段告訴我們，成年的男孩是在每年的年初(At the beginning of every year)拿到一塊地和資金的，四個選項(xiàng)中只有spring(春天)符合境。 5．B 考查動詞辨析。對應(yīng)第一段提到的was given，所以這里選receive意思是：收到。exchange 交換；recognize 認(rèn)出，承認(rèn)；advise 建議，忠告。 6．C考查語境話選詞。前文告訴我們，他們要建的是房子，這是在外出考察，自然是找最好的房子和

13、房主交談以獲得如何建好房子的建議。文中有多處同義詞home的復(fù)現(xiàn)。 7．D考查名詞詞義辨析。每一位房主都很樂意提供給他們(關(guān)于如何建好房子的)建議。所以選advice?？梢詮摹癝oon he had so many great ideas that he began to 10 some of them．”中的idea得到啟示。 8．B 考查動詞辨析。Marc 參觀了幾棟房子，把房主們提供的建議搜集起來，所以選gather。意思是：搜集。9空后的“continued collecting more ideas”有同義詞復(fù)現(xiàn)。expect 期待，預(yù)料；create 創(chuàng)造；underst

14、and理解。 9．C 考查副詞辨析?？疾閯釉~辨析。Marc開始建房，而Paul 卻仍在繼續(xù)搜集如何建房的建議，兩者之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，所以用however。 10． A 考查動詞辨析。由于搜集的好的修建房屋的方法太多了，以至于都忘了一部分，所以用forget。 believe 認(rèn)為，相信；replace代替；doubt懷疑。 11． C 考查連詞辨析?！癏e had several false starts”和“his home gradually rose from his land”之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，所以用but。 12． D考查動詞辨析。倒數(shù)第二段 “Each year, Marc s

15、earched for other good ideas he could use to make his own home look better．”中的make his own home look better，說的就是他所修的房子可以在建成后隨時(shí)改良，所以用improve。repair 修理、修補(bǔ)； rebuild重建；sell賣。 13．A 考查名詞辨析。第二段的“In each village, they found the nicest 31 and talked to the owners．”可知，應(yīng)該選conversations，意思是：談話、會話。 14．B 考查動詞

16、辨析。冬天來了，第一場雪使Paul意識到建房子所剩的時(shí)間不多了，所以自己便急匆匆地往回趕，所以選rush，意思是：沖、奔，急匆匆的趕。 15. A 考查形容詞辨析。由后面的“The first winter storm destroyed his home”可以看出，由于動工時(shí)間較晚，時(shí)間緊，他修的房子不牢固，所以選weak，意思是：不牢固的。Funny滑稽的；small小的；amazing令人吃驚的。 16. B 考查名詞辨析。下一句“The villagers mourned for him”告訴我們，村民們都去哀悼他，由此可知他被凍死了，所以選death。 17. C 考查動詞辨析

17、。這里指的是Marc由于修好了房子，順利渡過了冬天，所以用survive，意思是：從困境中挺過來。 18. D 考查動詞辨析。raise 養(yǎng)育。句意為：(后來)他成了村里的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)，養(yǎng)育了一家人，幸福滿意的生活著。如果把 A 項(xiàng)后加上up，也是正確的。 19. B 考查形容詞辨析。上面的故事告訴我們，建議和想法的尋找是簡單的，而實(shí)踐才是困難的，所以選easy。 20. D考查動詞辨析。這里指的是最好的想法的“應(yīng)用”，所以選apply。 閱讀理解 A Some unusual words describe how a person spends his or her t

18、ime. For example, someone who likes to spend a lot of time sitting or lying down while watching television is sometimes called a couch potato. A couch is a piece of furniture that people sit on while watching television. Robert Armstrong, an artist from California, developed the term “couch potato”

23、ls and even offices and stores are closed. Some people enjoy spending a lot of time in their homes to make them nice places to live. This is called nesting or cocooning. Birds build nests out of sticks to hold their eggs and baby birds. Some insects build cocoons around themselves for protection wh

24、ile they grow and change. Nests and cocoons provide security for wildlife. So people like the idea of nests and cocoons, too. The terms cocooning and nesting became popular more than twenty years ago. They describe people buying their first homes and filling them with many things. These people then

25、 had children. Now these children are grown-up and have left the nest. They are in college.

28、ime. D．The origin of some words. B German researchers said older people tend to be portrayed negatively in society. Although they are often described as wise, they are also shown as being slow and forgetful. “Living in a youth centered culture, they may appreciate a boost in self-esteem.That's w

29、hy they prefer the negative stories about younger people, who are seen as having a higher status in our society，” said Dr Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick，of Ohio State University. Knobloch-Westerwick and her co-author Matthias Hastall, of Zeppelin University in Friedrichshafen, Germany, studied 276 Germ

30、an adults, including 178 aged 18 to 30 and 98 between 55 and 60. Their findings are published in the journal Communication. All the adults in the study were shown what they were led to believe was a test version of a new online news magazine.They were also given limited time to look over either a n

31、egative or a positive version of 10 pre-selected articles. Each story was also paired with a photograph depicting(描繪) someone of either the younger or the older age group. The researchers found that older people were more likely to choose to read negative articles about those younger than themselv

32、es. They also tended to show less interest in articles about older people, whether negative or positive. But younger people preferred to read positive articles about other young people.

After reading the articles, the participants completed a questionnaire designed to measure levels of self-esteem. U

34、nlike their younger counterparts, the self-esteem of older people rose after they read a negative article about younger people.

46、nce exam. 課后閱讀-------Fully insured? 全保險(xiǎn) Insurance companies are normally willing to insure anything. Insuring public or private property is a standard practice in most countries in the world. If, however, you were holding an open air garden party or a fete it would be equally possible to insu

47、re yourself in the event of bad weather. Needless to say, the bigger the risk an insurance company takes, the higher the premium you will have to pay. It is not uncommon to hear that a shipping company has made a claim for the cost of salvaging a sunken ship. But the claim made by a local authority

48、to recover the cost of salvaging a sunken pie dish must surely be unique. Admittedly it was an unusual pie dish, for it was eighteen feet long and six feet wide. It had been purchased by a local authority so that an enormous pie could be baked for an annual fair. The pie committee decided that the

49、 best way to transport the dish would be by canal, so they insured it for the trip. Shortly after it was launched, the pie committee went to a local inn to celebrate. At the same time, a number of teenagers climbed on to the dish and held a little party of their own. Dancing proved to be more than t

50、he dish could bear, for during the party it capsized and sank in seven feet of water. The pie committee telephoned a local garage owner who arrived in a recovery truck to salvage the pie dish. Shivering in their wet clothes, the teenagers looked on while three men dived repeatedly into the water t

51、o locate the dish. They had little difficulty in finding it, but hauling it out of the water proved to be a serious problem. The sides of the dish were so smooth that it was almost impossible to attach hawsers and chains to the rim without damaging it. Eventually chains were fixed to one end of the

52、dish and a powerful winch was put into operation. The dish rose to the surface and was gently drawn towards the canal bank. For one agonizing moment, the dish was perched precariously on the bank of the canal, but it suddenly overbalanced and slid back into the water. The men were now obliged to try

53、 once more. This time they fixed heavy metal clamps to both sides of the dish so that they could fasten the chains. The dish now had to be lifted vertically because one edge was resting against the side of the canal. The winch was again put into operation and one of the men started up the truck. Sev

54、eral minutes later, the dish was successfully hauled above the surface of the water. Water streamed in torrents over its sides with such force that it set up a huge wave in the canal. There was a danger that the wave would rebound off the other side of the bank and send the dish plunging into the wa

55、ter again. By working at tremendous speed, the men managed to get the dish on to dry land before the wave returned. 保險(xiǎn)公司一般說來愿意承保一切東西。承辦公共財(cái)產(chǎn)或私人財(cái)產(chǎn)保險(xiǎn)是世界上大部分國家的正常業(yè)務(wù)。如果你要舉辦一次露天游園會或盛宴，為避免碰上不好的天氣而遭受損失也同樣可以保險(xiǎn)。不用說，保險(xiǎn)公司承擔(dān)風(fēng)險(xiǎn)越大，你付的保險(xiǎn)費(fèi)也就越高。航運(yùn)公司為打撈沉船而提出索賠，這是常有的事，但某地當(dāng)局為打撈一只焙制餡餅的盤子提出索賠，倒是件新鮮事兒。 這個餡餅盤子確實(shí)少見，有18英尺長

56、，6英尺寬。某地方當(dāng)局買下它用來焙制一個巨大的餡餅為一年一度交易會助興。餡餅委員會確認(rèn)運(yùn)輸這只盤子的最佳方案是通過運(yùn)河水運(yùn)。于是，他們對這只盤子的運(yùn)輸安全投了保。盤子下水后不久，餡餅委員會成員們來到當(dāng)?shù)匾患倚【频陸c賀。就在這個時(shí)候，許多十幾歲的孩子爬上盤子舉行他們自己的集會。他們跳起了舞，盤子難以承受。舞會進(jìn)行過程中，盤子傾覆，沉入了7英尺深的水中。 餡餅委員會給當(dāng)?shù)仄囆蘩韼炖习宕螂娫挘動嵑箝_著一輛急修車前來打撈盤子。那些孩子們穿著濕衣服哆嗦，看著3個工人輪番潛入水中以確定盤子的位置。他們沒費(fèi)多大事兒就找到了盤子，可是把盤子撈出卻是一個很大的難題。盤子四邊十分光滑，要在盤邊拴上繩索或鏈

62、Oct., 2011, China has been captivated by the distressing case of two-year-old girl Xiao Yueyue, who was coldly ignored by passers-by as she lay bleeding in the street after being struck by a delivery van. Video shared widely across social media documented the incident in horrifying detail, including

63、 at least 18 people walking past Xiao Yueyue's body without so much as a glance. In my eyes, those 18 people have shamed the whole of China. Owing to the new complexities of Chinese social life, people had lost their reverence for life and felt indifferent or even cold about life or death. Any on
