In the early 1800s, Stanislas Baudry built public baths in the center of a town in France. To encourage people to come, Baudry drove a large vehicle around to give people a ride to the baths. He called the vehicle an omnibus, 1 is a Latin word meaning “for everyone”. Then he 2 (notice) that many passengers would get off at stops during the journey to the baths. So Baudry shifted the focus of his omnibus service. He created a permanent route for passengers 3 (board) and get off. Eventually, the omnibus became known 4 (simple) as a bus.

【答案】

1which

2noticed

3to board

4simply

【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了bus(公共汽车)一词的来源。19世纪初,在法国一个城镇中心经营浴池业的斯塔尼拉斯鲍德雷,为了吸引顾客,他开着一辆大车接送客人去浴池洗澡。发现乘客在途中就会下车后,他设立了上下车的固定路线。鲍德雷给自己的马车起名为omnibus,是拉丁语为了大家的意思,后来就是大家熟知的bus(公共汽车)。

1】考查定语从句。本句是非限制性定语从句,先行词是omnibus,指物,且从句中缺主语。故填which

2】考查时态。全文讲述的是一件发生在过去的事,此处填动词notice(注意到)的适当形式,应用一般过去时,故填noticed

3】考查非谓语动词。句意:他为乘客们创造了一条固定的上下车路线。此处用动词不定式作后置定语,修饰前面的名词route(路线)。故填to board

4】考查副词。句意:最终,公共汽车(omnibus)以巴士(bus)的简称而广为人知。副词simply在此处修饰整个句子,故填simply

分析定语从句关键抓住两点:第一、找准先行词;第二、看先行词在定语从句中所作的成分。先行词往往为名词或代词,如第1小题中先行词为名词omnibus,再分析先行词omnibus在定语从句中所作的成分,将先行词omnibus带到从句中可知,在从句中作主语,且为非限制性定语从句,故填which

Before she was crowned (加冕) Miss Amazing National in Chicago? US, Vanessa Cleary had never thought of herself as a beauty pageant (选美) competitor.

Yet the way in which Vanessa told the story of her birth mother’s struggle to help her with her disabilities and the positive impact the adoption had on her life helped her win over the judges last month. After the pageant, in which she took top honors in the junior teen division, the 15-year-old girl said she’s looking forward to telling her friends about her experience so they can join in as well. “I want everyone to have the experience I had,” Vanessa said. “It was really fun and I really enjoyed it.”

Miss Amazing is a pageant for girls with learning disabilities. In the ten years since it began, 1700 girls with disabilities have benefited from it. The pageant is designed to help the girls who participate to build sisterhoods, develop life skills, and so on.

The main event of the pageant is the stage performance, in which participants get to showcase a talent of their choice. When Vanessa’s mother first heard about Miss Amazing, she thought the pageant would be a great opportunity for Vanessa to showcase her skill for public speaking. Vanessa wants to be a teacher to teach other students who have disabilities like her.

Vanessa’s hearing is impaired, and she has a disability that makes reading difficult for her. Despite these, she is very active and loves public speaking. For Vanessa, it wasn’t about winning the pageant. It was about the opportunity for her to participate and feel supported.

【题目】 When it comes to green buildings, we tend to think of new ones – the kind of high-tech, solar-paneled masterpieces that make the covers of architecture magazines. 1They are the witness of the country. And it would be incredibly wasteful to tear them all down and replace them with greener versions. 2What’s more, it would take an average of 65 years for the reduced carbon emissions from a new energy-efficient home to make up for the resources lost by destroying an old one. 3

But there is an unavoidable fact that nearly half of U. S. carbon emissions come from heating, cooling and powering those aged houses. "You can't deal with climate change without dealing with existing buildings," says Richard Moe, the president of the National Trust. With some exceptions, the oldest homes tend to be the least energy- efficient. 4Houses built before 1939 use about 50% more energy per square foot than those built after 2000.

5Historic ones like Lincoln's Cottage can be transformed through efficiency upgrades. They can not only help protect property owners from rising power costs; They can save the earth.

A.But how to change their conditions?

B.But the U.S. has more than 100 million existing homes.

C.Some effective measures should be taken by government.

D.So some people say that the greenest way is to maintain old ones.

E.Fortunately, some relatively simple changes can green older homes.

F.Vast energy and resources went into the construction of those houses.

G.The main cause is the cracks that expand over time and let outside air in.
