【解析】
1.考查副词。第一句就交代作者去美国,从后文我们可以得出作者是一个英国人,且又提到他到法国。所以应选C项。这不是我第一次出国。
2.考查介词。 在学校读书用介词at。
3.考查use的用法。从文中可知他经常出国,所以应是他习惯说外语。
4.考查名词。该题根据上下文判断。因为我懂英语, 因此我能够与那些不懂法语的人讲话。
5.考查连词。在去美国之时,且went是非延续性动词。
6.考查动词。度过一个轻松愉快的假期。have a holiday度假。
7.考查名词。到外国去存在的就是语言问题。
8.考查感叹句。 用形容词作中心词的感叹句就只能用how修饰。
9.考查动词。误会是在机场开始的。此处用一般过去时的谓语动词。
10.考查形容词。a public telephone意为“公用电话”。
11.考查名词。我们从上文可以知道作者是想在公用电话亭打个电话。
12.考查形容词。他愿主动提供帮助,说明他是一个非常友好的人。
13.考查连词。问作者他是否能提供一些帮助。
14.考查marry的用法。从后文我们可以得知这个老人是误会了作者要送戒指给他的女友,所以问他是否结婚了。
15.作者感到莫名其妙,所以问谁要结婚。
16.考查连词。作者是要找一个公用电话亭,所以应是问在哪里有公用电话亭。
17.考查名词。朋友叙述的是开始遇到了很多麻烦,而trouble是不可数名词,应排除。
18.考查动词。该题根据上下文判断。上文中所出现的情况是语言使用习惯的问题, 因此Danny说美国人用的许多单词在意思上与英国人不同。
19.考查形容词。该题根据上下文判断。从下句Most of the 55 British and American people understand each other!可以看出, Danny对“我”说“我”不久就会习惯他们所讲的一切有趣的东西。
20.考查名词。该题根据上下文判断。大多数时候, 美国人和英国人能彼此理解。
Jamaican sprinter (短跑选手) Usain Bolt plans to send a message to rival Tyson Gay by breaking the world 100m record in the London Grand Prix on Friday.
Bolt, who won gold in the 100m,200m and 4*100m relay in reord times at the Beijing Olympics last year, is determined to use the Crystal Palace event to crush the morale (士气) of his main rival for gold at next month’s World Athletics Championships in Berlin.
The 22-year-old is slowly returning to peak form after posting 19.59 sec for the 200m in Lausanne earlier this month and clocking a time of 9.79 sec over 100m in cold, rainy conditions in Paris on Friday.
Despite Bolt’s impressive times, Gay still believes he has the beating of the Jamaican. But Bolt insists there is no one in the sport who scares him and he will prove the point in south London this weekend.
Although Bolt believes he is only running at 85 percent at the moment while he recovers from injuries suffered in a recent car crash in Jamaica, he sees no reason why he can’t break his world record 100m time of 9.69 seconds.
However he won’t get the chance to take on Gay in the 100m in London as the American is only running in the 200m, which Bolt is not competing in, so he will have to settle for underlining his own ability.
“You never know what is possible. I will give my best either way. My friends are saying I’m bringing the rain wherever I go but we will see on Friday.”
While Bolt would love to make a big impact in London, he knows the main event is the World Championships.
“The London Grand Prix will show me where I’m at and what I need to do. After, we can analyse what I need to do ahead of the World Championships.”
