11.We went to the Shaolin Temple last weekend,      ,not surprisingly,was crowded with visitors from all over the world.(  )
A.whereB.whichC.thatD.when

分析 上周末我们去少林寺,毫不令人吃惊的,那里挤满了来自全世界的游客.

解答 答案:B.
从主句We went to the Shaolin Temple last weekend,可以知道 the Shaolin Temple 是先行词.not surprisingly是插入语,而在was crowded with visitors from all over the world中缺少主语.四个选项中,where和 when只能做状语,that不能用于非限制性定语从句.但which即可以做主语又可以做宾语,也可以用于非限制性定语从句.所以选择B.

点评 考查非限制性定语从句在句中作用不同
  非限制性定语从句与先行词关系不十分密切,只是对其作一些附加说明,不起限定制约作用.如果将非限制性定语从句省去,主句的意义仍然完整.
  限制性定语从句因与先行词关系密切,所以不可以用逗号将其与主句隔开;而非限制性定语从句与先行词关系不十分密切,所以可用逗号将其与主句隔开.
that不能用于非限制性定语从句

16.It is widely known that any English conversation begins with The Weather.Such a fixation with the we ather finds expression in Dr.Johnson's famous comment that"When two English meet,their first talk is of weather."Though Johnson's observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago,most commentators fail to come up with a convincing explanation for this English weather-speak.
   Bill Bryson,for example,concludes that,as the English weather is not at all exciting,the obsession with it can hardly be understood.He argues that"To an outsider,the most striking thing about the English weather is that there is not very much of it."Simply,the reason is that the unusual and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the British Isles.
  Jeremy Paxman,however,disagrees with Bryson,arguing that the English weather is by nature attractive.Bryson is wrong,he says,because the English preference for the weather has nothing to do with the natural phenomena."The interest is less in the phenomena themselves,but in uncertainty."According to him,the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain and it attracts the En glish as well as the outsider.
  Bryson and Paxman stand for common misconceptions about the weather-speak among the English.Both commentators,somehow,are missing the point.The English weather conversation is not really about the weather at all.English weather-speak is a system of signs,which is developed to help the speakers overcome the natural reserve and actually talk to each other.Everyone knows conversations starting with weather-speak are not requests for weather data.Rather,they are routine greetings,conversation starters or the blank"fillers".In other words,English weather-speak is a means of social bonding.

3.In the past 15years,Chad Pregracke has helped pull more than 67,000tires from the Mississippi River and other waterways across the United States.
But that's just scratching the surface.He's also helped retrieve 218washing machines,19tractors,12hot tubs,four pianos and almost 1,000refrigerators.
For Pregracke,removing this debris-pieces of wood,metal,brick,etc.-has become his life's work.Sometimes called"The Rivers'Garbageman",he lives on a barge (驳船) about nine months out of the year with members of his 12-person crew.Together,they organize community cleanups along rivers across the country.
It's a dirty job,but Pregracke took it on because he realized that no one was doing it.It began as a solo (独自的) effort,and over the years his energy and enthusiasm have helped it grow.To date,about 70,000volunteers have joined him,helping collect more than 7million pounds of debris through his nonprofit.
Pregracke grew up in East Moline,Illinois,where the Mississippi River was in his backyard.As a teenager,he worked as a commercial shell diver and began to notice the heaps of debris in the waterway-one that supplies drinking water to 18million people in more than 50U.S.cities.
"I saw thousands of barrels,thousands of tires,cars,trucks and tops of school buses…I got sick of seeing it and just wanted to do something about it,"he said.
Pregracke got a small fund from a company in 1997and spent that summer cleaning a 35-mile stretch of the river by himself.He would transport the trash by boat and sort it on his parents'lawn to be recycled.By year's end,he had single-handedly pulled around 45,000pounds of trash out of the river.
His nonprofit now has a fleet of boats.And while he has resources and know-how,he depends on each community he visits to supply the manpower needed to get the job done.
At the cleanup sites,Pregracke's humor creates cheerful atmosphere-something he knows is necessary for the work that they do.His team uses motivational speeches and music to get the volunteers amped up (陶醉).
"We do everything in our power to get people excited about it,"Pregracke said."We want people to leave feeling good about what they did so they'll contribute more here."
Pregracke views his work as a different kind of service to the country.
"A lot of people call me a conservationist or an environmentalist,but the thing is I'm no different than anybody else,"he said.
Ultimately,Pregracke believes his story is proof that anyone can make a difference:
"If I had one thing to say,it wouldn't even be about rivers necessarily.It would be about finding a cause that's dear to you and taking action."
67.What initially caused Pregracke to clean up the waterway?D
A.People's ignorance of the debris at the bottom of the river.
B.His ambition to become famous throughout the country.
C.Safety problems of sailing boats along the Mississippi.
D.His bad feeling about the source of the drinking water.
68.What can we learn about Pregracke from the passage?A
A.He maintains his cause with the help from society.
B.He aims at recycling what have been found in rivers.
C.He makes a living by cleaning waterways all over the country.
D.He thinks of himself as a conservationist or environmentalist.
69.Why does Pregracke try to create a cheerful atmosphere at the cleanup sites?B
A.To make the heavy job lighter.
B.To attract the volunteers back.
C.To increase efficiency in the job.
D.To get the participants'motivated.

B.his value to society
C.his attitude to environment                 
D.his capacity for working.
3.I am a junior in high school.There is a lady at my school (16)whose  job is to hand out call-slips(索书单) and prevent students from leaving campus (17)without  permission.Before today I had never seen her smile.
The other day my friends and I were eating in the cafeteria and I saw her walking around.When she came (18)closer (close) to us I could see that she was crying.She pulled out a tissue and quickly wiped her eyes.I thought to myself that this lady is so under-appreciated and needs (19)recognizing/to be recognized(recognize) for all her hard work.So I wrote a note telling her that the students appreciated everything she did and (20)that   her contribution to our school made a difference in all of our lives.I signed it"Some thankful students"and slipped it into (21)an  envelope.Then I realized I didn't even know her name.I asked all of my professors but (22)nobody   knew her name.I finally went to ask the lady at student services and (23)was told(tell) that her name is Kathy.I bought her a bouquet of (24)colorful/colourful(colour) sunflowers and taped the envelope to it.I brought the flowers to school and left (25)them in her office.
She came into my third period class shortly afterwards to deliver a call-slip,and there it was-a smile on her face!
