题目内容

13.Every country shares things (46)incommon:we value family and laughter,cherish food and health,and celebrate large (47)festivals (festival) and traditions.Yet within the similar things we share,there are unique parts of each country.One of characteristics that are famous of British people(48)is (be) their sense of humor,particularly self-mockery (自嘲).This is a type of humor that criticizes and undervalues oneself.For example,a fat person may joke:"I am on a new sea food diet.If I see food,I eat it."This is(49)awell-known self-mockery joke.It's difficult why self-mockery(50)is tied (tie) to the British people.But every nation's sense of humor comes from its culture and history.It could come from another British characteristic,modesty,(51)meaning (mean) not talking openly about your skills.This seems to be something that is similar to people in China,(52)wheremodesty plays a big part in daily life.It also acts as a defense of our self-respect by playing down our skills,this can(53)lessen (less) the chance of people criticizing us.Another possible reason is(54)thatthe British people do not take themselves too(55)seriously (serious).

分析 文章介绍了不同国家的相同点和不同点.重视家庭,珍惜健康,庆祝节日等是每个国家都有的,但每个国家又都有独特之处.英国人幽默,还喜欢自嘲.和中国人一样,英国人也很谦虚.这些都和历史文化有关.

解答 46.in 考查介词.incommon是固定短语,意为"具有共同点",故填in.
47.festivals考查名词复数.根据and后的traditions是名词复数,且festival是可数名词,可知此处应用复数形式,故填festivals.
48.is 考查主谓一致.句中that isfamous是定语从句,主句的主语是One British characteristic,谓语动词要用单数;文章讲述的是客观事实,要用一般现在时态.故填is.
49.a 考查冠词.此处是用来限定名词joke,表示泛指,意为"一个笑话".表示"一"的概念时需用不定冠词,故填a.
50.is tied考查被动语态.tie与其逻辑主语self-mockery是被动关系,并且文章讲述的是客观事实,所以应用一般现在时的被动语态.故填is tied.
51.meaning考查现在分词.句中有逗号分隔且没有连词,要用非谓语动词;mean与modesty构成主谓关系,要用表示主动的现在分词.故填meaning.
52.where 考查定语从句.句中modestyplays a big part in daily life是一个非限制性定语从句,从句结构完整,要用关系副词;先行词China表示地点,要用where来引导.故填where.
53.lessen 考查动词.句中less位于情态动词后作谓语,要用动词形式,less的动词是lessen.故填lessen.
54.that 考查连词.句中onaverage,the British people don't take themselves too…是作系动词is的表语,是一个表语从句;句意表达的是事实,所以用that来连接,且不可省略.故填that.
55.seriously考查副词.因为副词修饰动词,所以修饰动词take应用副词seriously,take sth seriously认真对待某事.故填seriously.

点评 语法填空是通过语篇在语境中考查语法知识的运用能力,在解题前应快速浏览短文掌握大意,在读懂短文的基础上,结合短文提供的特定的语言环境去逐句分析,逐题解答.扎实的语法功底加上准确的理解是解答语法填空题的关键.

3.Michael Fish may soon be replaced as a weather forecaster by the shark (鲨鱼).
Research by a British biology student suggests that sharks could be used to predict storms.Lauren Smith,24,is close to completing her study on shark's ability to sense pressure.If her studies prove the theory,scientists may be able to monitor the behavior of sharks to predict bad weather.
Miss Smith had previously studied the behavior of lemon sharks in the Bahamas.
She then used their close relatives,lesser spotted dogfish,for further research at Aberdeen University.
Her work---thought to be the first of its kind to test the pressure theory----resulted from the observation that juvenile blacktip sharks off Florida moved into deeper water ahead of a violent storm in 2001.
Miss Smith said:"I've always been crazy about traveling and diving and this led me to an interest in sharks."
"I was delighted to have been able to research in the area for my degree.I know there's so much more we need to understand----but it certainly opens the way to more research."
It has been discovered that a shark senses pressure using hair cells in its balance system.
At the Bimini Shark Lab in the Bahamas,Miss Smith fixed hi-tech sensors to sharks to record pressure and temperature,while also tracking them using GPS (Global Positioning System) technology.
In Aberdeen,she was able to study the effects of tidal (潮汐的) and temperature changes on dogfish----none of which were harmed.She also used a special lab which can mimic (模拟) oceanic pressure changes caused by weather fronts.
She is due to complete her study and graduate later this year.She says she will be looking for a job which will give her the chance to enrich her experience of shark research.

Learning to express worry is also important.If you're worried about a friend or a loved one,(69)talk(talk) to them about your worry.This could give you some peace of mind.Also,you can choose an activity(70)that/whichyou are interested in and spend some time doing it.The less you think about the problem,the less you will worry.
