【10】but

【解析

试题分析:本文讲述了一个交通事故,故事主人翁危险驾车,与搭乘车辆的人均未系安全带,最后引起了一起事故,最后Kevin Daly因此被判三年刑期。此类题型要注意句子间的逻辑关系,以及时态,固定搭配等用法。

【1】考查sentence的用法。①用作名词时,意为“句子;宣判”;②用作动词时,意为“宣判;判决”。此题考查其作动词的用法,be sentenced to 被判处,且因为全文时态以过去时为主,故填was sentenced.

【2】考查句子理解。从句子结构上判断,空白处应填入的成分为形容词来修饰partner. 根据句意,此题填入形容词性物主代词最符合逻辑,且主人翁为男性,故填his.

【3】考查介词用法。mph=miles per hour 每小时英里数。可知前面应填修饰速度的介词。at常用来表示速度、价格、温度等,eg: The train runs at fifty kilometers an hour.句意:Daly在以80英里每小时的时速驾驶朋友Alice的车时,车子失控,他被判处近三年的刑期。故填at.

【4】考查状语从句。句意:当他撞上对向驶来的汽车时,她被甩出了车子。此题要注意when和while的区别,两者均表示“当…时候”,when多强调某一时间点;而while则表示某一时间段,谓语动词要为延续性动词。此题“was thrown”和“crashed”均为瞬间动词,故此题应填入when.

【5】考查现在分词作定语。相当于 “… he crashed into the vehicle which is moving in the opposite direction” 省略从句的主语和谓语,相当于现在分词作定语。故填moving.

【6】考查die的用法。deny doing sth 拒绝、否认做某事 cause sth 导致;引起。故空白处应填入名词。要注意die的各种形式:原形die, 过去时和过去分词均为died, 现在分词dying, 形容词dead, 名词death. 故此题为death.

【7】考查固定搭配。neither… nor… 既不…也不… ;两者都不 句意:Daly和Hicks在撞击发生时都没有系安全带。故填nor.

【8】考查wait用法。wait to do sth. 等着做某事 句意:当道路被一辆等着右转的卡册堵住时…。故填to turn.

【9】考查从句。填空处后面为完整句子,可知describe后接宾语从句,故填that引导宾语从句。

【10】考查but的用法。句意:目击者描述道他很少有可能或几乎不可能将车停在停着的车后面,转向为了避让货车,然而撞到另一边的马自达。but作连词时,意为“但是;然而”;but作介词时,意为“除…之外”,eg:I had nothing to do but wait. 除了等待,我别无他法。but作副词,意为“只不过”,eg:She is but a young girl. 她只不过是一个小女孩。

【题目】阅读下面短文,然后按要求写一篇120词左右的英语短文。

A group of frogs were travailing through the woods. And two of them fell into a deep pit. When the other frogs saw how deep the pit was, they told the two that they were as good as dead. The two frogs didn’t listen and tried to jump out of the pit with all their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop. Finally, one of the frogs heard what other frogs were saying and gave up, so he died.

The other frog went on jumping as hard as he could. Once again, the other frogs cried at him and told him to stop and just allow himself to die. He jumped even harder and finally made himself out. When he got out, the other frogs said,“ Didn’t you hear us?” the frog explained to them that something was wrong with his hearing. He thought they were encouraging him the whole time.

There is power of life and death in the tongue. An encouraging word to someone who is down can lift him or her up and help them make it through the day. Be careful what you say. Speak life to those who cross your path. The power of words --- anyone can speak bad words that rob another of the spirit to go on in difficult times. But an encouraging word can go such a long time.

【1】 Half a minute? A few seconds?

Google engineers have discovered that even 400 milliseconds-as short as the blink of an eye-is too long for most Internet users.

A millisecond is one thousandth of a second. People hardly notice such a small time difference, but it does cause them to stop searching, reported The New York Times.

Nowadays, millions of smart-phones and computers are constantly gathering and sending out information. 2 you can get digital "traffic jams". Meanwhile, users are expecting faster and faster service.

Google found that if one website is 250 milliseconds slower than another website ,then people will visit it less often. 3 Google said people do expect different things from different websites because they realize not all loading times are the same. For example ,a person will be more patient waiting for a video clip to load than for a search result.

Even so, four out of five online users will click away if a video takes too long to load. This makes “difficult for video websites to choose between the quality of pictures and fast loading times.

Pursuing a higher speed has always been part of the history of the Internet.

In the 1990s,when the World Wide Web first started to become popular, 4 people called it the "World Wide Wait". But engineers managed to fight the problem with new inventions. They laid a lot of fiber optic cables for high-speed transmissions , they improved software so it would work more smoothly; they placed computer servers all around the world to be nearer to users; all this increased speed.

Nowadays we can enjoy much faster Internet ._ 5 But they will need to keep fighting to keep up with the developing demands of internet users.

A. internet is becoming faster and faster.

B. With so many people downloading maps, sports videos, news and restaurant recommendations,

C. Major search engines such as Google and Microsoft's Bing usually find search results in less than a second.

D. We can not expect a faster speed about the internet.

E. This is why technology companies are now competing to be the fastest.

F. How long are you willing to wait for a webpage to open before you start to lose your patience?

G it was very crowded and slow;

【题目】The influence of America is increasing in my country. Spanish people drink Coca Cola, wear blue jeans, watch Hollywood movies, listen to American music, and eat fast food, and they do these things every day.

I think that American movies are a good way to spread American culture because people are often influenced by what they see in the movies. Most of the programs and documentaries (纪录片) we watch on TV are from America, and most of the movies we go to see are made in Hollywood.

In the last few years, the government has tried to protect the Spanish movies. Now, in our cinemas, at least twenty percent of the movies which are shown must be from Spain or from other countries in Europe.

American culture is a part of Spanish life now. It’s certain that many things from America are as much a part of people’s lives as Spanish things. For example, Coca Cola is as familiar to everybody as any typical Spanish product. I’ve known about Coca Cola for my whole life.

However, it’s different with Western fast food. For example, I don’t think McDonald’s is as successful in Spain as it is in other countries. In my opinion, one of the reasons may be the lifestyle of the Spanish people. The Spanish people normally eat at home.

On the other hand, maybe McDonald’s hamburgers will eventually replace the famous Spanish tapas. It’s true that in every city in Spain you can find a McDonald’s, and it is more popular among the Spanish children than among the adults. In any case, it’s obvious that American culture is becoming more and more a part of our lives every day.

1From the first paragraph we can know that ____.

A. the influence of America on Spain can be found everywhere

B. most Spanish people don’t like to listen to their own music

C. fast food spreads from Spain to the United States

D. some Spanish actors go to America to improve their acting skills

2What plays an important part in the spreading of American culture in Spain?

A. American novels. B. Hollywood movies.

C. McDonald’s. D. American music.

3Why did the government set some rules for the films shown in Spain?

A. To protect foreign culture in Spain.

B. To earn more money from Spanish films.

C. To limit the number of foreign movies.

D. To unite the European Community.

4What do you think Spanish tapas might be?

A. The name of a drink. B. The name of a restaurant.

C. A clothing brand. D. A certain kind of food.
