题目内容
【题目】阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1 个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
A German architect, Werner Aisslinger, thinks that he has found the answer 【1】our crowded cities. He has invented a portable micro-apartment. These apartments called “Loftcubes” can 【2】(lift) onto any empty roof by helicopter!
【3】(design) with a kitchen and a bathroom, as well as a large living area, each Loftcube is extremely modern depending on the 【4】(late) technology in interior (室内) design.
The Loftcube was first shown at an 【5】(exhibit) in Berlin last year, but Berlin wasn’t the right place for them, because it doesn’t have a housing shortage. They are actually needed in busy, overcrowded cities, such as London and New York.
They don’t cost much - only 38,000. Aisslinger hopes that young people, 【6】often move from city to city, will buy them. When it is time 【7】(move), they will just take their homes with them!
“We have been speaking to 【8】 number of companies interested in building them, 【9】no decisions have been made yet,” says Aisslinger. He thinks that the homes will be ready by the end of next year and that this way of life will 【10】(possible) reach Britain first.
【答案】
【1】to
【2】be lifted
【3】Designed
【4】latest
【5】exhibition
【6】who
【7】to move
【8】a
【9】but
【10】possibly
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。德国建筑师Werner Aisslinger认为他已经找到了解决我们拥挤的城市的方法。文章介绍了Werner Aisslinger的解决方法。
【1】
考查介词。句意:德国建筑师Werner Aisslinger认为他已经找到了解决我们拥挤的城市的方法。固定搭配:the answer to…“.…..的答案/方法”。其中to是介词,意思是“.…..的”。故填to。
【2】
考查含情态动词的被动语态。句意:这些被称为“阁楼”的公寓可以被直升机吊到任何一个空屋顶上!句子主语apartments和lift之间是被动关系,是含情态动词can的被动语态,can已经给出,故填be lifted。
【3】
考查过去分词作状语。句意:根据室内设计的最新技术,每个阁楼立方体都非常现代化,包括厨房和浴室,以及一个大的起居空间。句子主语each Loftcube和design之间是被动关系,是过去分词作状语。故填Designed。
【4】
考查形容词。句意:根据室内设计的最新技术,每个阁楼立方体都非常现代化,包括厨房和浴室,以及一个大的起居空间。根据the可知此处用形容词latest“最新的”。故填latest。
【5】
考查名词。句意:去年在柏林的一个展览上首次展出了这个阁楼。根据不定冠词an要放在名词前面,所以这里应该用名词形式,exhibit是动词,其名词形式是exhibition。故填exhibition。
【6】
考查非限制性定语从句。句意:Aisslinger希望经常从一个城市搬到另一个城市的年轻人能够买到它们。此处young people是先行词,指人,在后面的非限制性定语从句中作主语,且that不能引导非限制性定语从句。故填who。
【7】
考查动词不定式作主语。句意:到了搬家的时候,他们会把自己的家带走!此处it是形式主语,动词不定式作真正主语,故填to move。
【8】
考查固定词组。句意:我们已经和一些有兴趣建造它们的公司谈过,但还没有做出决定。固定词组:a number of“一些,许多”。故填a。
【9】
考查并列连词。句意:我们已经和一些有兴趣建造它们的公司谈过,但还没有做出决定。前后是一种转折关系,故填but。
【10】
考查副词。句意:他认为这些房子将在明年年底建成,这种生活方式可能会首先到达英国。此处reach是动词,由副词修饰,故填possibly。

The expression,“ everybody’s doing it,” is very much at the center of the concept of peer pressure. It is a strong influence of a group, especially of children, on members of that group to behave as everybody else does. It can be positive or negative. Most people experience it in some way during their lives.
People are social creatures by nature, and so it is hardly surprising that part of their self-respect comes from the approval of others. This instinct (天性) is why the approval of peers, or the fear of disapproval, is such a powerful force in many people’s lives. It is the same instinct that drives people to dress one way at home and another way at work, or to answer “fine” when a stranger asks“ how are you?” even if it is not necessarily true. There is a practical aspect to this: it helps society to function efficiently, and encourages a general level of self-discipline that simplifies day-to-day interaction.
For certain individuals, seeking social acceptance is so important that it becomes like an addiction; in order to satisfy the desire, they may go so far as to abandon their sense of right and wrong. Teens and young adults may feel forced to use drugs, or join gangs that encourage criminal behavior. Mature adults may sometimes feel pressured to cover up illegal activity at the company where they work, or end up in debt because they are unable to hold back the desire to buy a house or car that they can’t afford in an effort to“ keep up with the Joneses”.
However, peer pressure is not always negative. A student whose friends are good at academics may be urged to study harder and get good grades. Players on a sports team may feel driven to play harder in order to help the team win. This type of influence can also get a friend off drugs, or to help an adult take up a good habit or drop a bad one. Study groups and class projects are examples of positive peer groups that encourage people to better themselves.
Schools try to teach kids about the dangers of negative peer pressure. They teach kids to stand up and be themselves, and encourage them to politely decline to do things that they believe are wrong. Similarly, it can be helpful to encourage children to greet the beneficial influence of positive peer groups.
