15.不幸的是卓别林的父亲去世了,使得他的家境更加贫困.
Unfortunately Charlie's father died,leaving his family evenworse off.

分析 leaving,worse off

解答 答案:leaving,worse off.
分析句子的结构可知,后面的成分应该是非谓语动词的形式,根据句意可知,卓别林的父亲去世导致了家境更加贫困,所以用现在分词短语作结果状语,badly off意为"境况糟糕,贫困",其比较级为worse off;故答案为leaving,worse off.

点评 做翻译句子的题目要注意解题步骤:1.分析每道题目需要完成部分的语法属性 2.划出已给出部分的中心词.依据空格前后成分,确定空格的语法属性:词性、单复数、时态等.

6.Remembering My Father's Vest
People get into trouble because they don't know enough to keep cool.As a child,I had a lot of(41)Bthat had been held back and not released.Worse still,I was not good at (42)Cconstructively.
Once as I was getting ready for school,my mother(43)Ame my father's vest instead of mine.This was around the time when I was going to be larger in (44)Athan my father,so as I put on the vest,I felt like I was being choked in it!I(45)Dthat it was a small oversight(疏忽) on my mother's part,but (46)Bthe feeling of being choked drowned me and I got very angry.

3.Recently I had a conversation in Beijing with an adult Chinese friend who was complaining how difficult it was to study English.No surprises there.It is a difficult language to master,just like Chinese.I made a few suggestions based on my experience.One involved a very valuable fact which I learned from my high school Latin and Greek teacher,Dr.Smith.He is a gifted linguist (语言学家),and has an amazing ability to remember things,like poetry,essays,speeches,etc.His advice to us students is that for memorization purposes,there is forty minutes each day in which our memory is more acceptable than it is during the other 23 hours and 20 minutes.
This 40-minute"super memory"period is divided into two parts:the 20 minutes before we sleep,and the 20 minutes after we first awake.The theory supporting this is pretty simple.First,the last information we input into our brain before bed has a better chance of taking root than information gained during the noisy daytime; and second,our mind is free of disturbance(干扰) when we first awake in the morning一so more receptive to inputs,like a blank slate(石板).
I took the advice to heart and it served me well in my school years.In my university days,our Chinese teacher would assign us 200 new vocabulary words each day,on which we would be quizzed(测试)the following day.Without the"magic"40-minute technique,there's no way I would have passed those daily quizzes.
As far as language study goes,it's not only useful for memorizing vocabulary.It's also a very useful window of time to listen to the language we're studying even with background noise,and even if it's at a level we find difficult to understand.It might be audio(声音的)language study,aids,or just radio,TV or whatever.
Beyond our years of formal(正式的) education,memory skills are hugely important in any career.How many times have we heard a speaker read their speech from a prepared text,or read the word-by-word content of a PowerPoint presentation as they present each slide(投影片)?These are annoying,boring,and less effective ways of communicating.They are almost guaranteed(保证) to lose the audience's close attention and interest,let alone persuade or inspire anyone to do anything.And yet lots of people still make this mistake.
If we use the 40-minute technique,we may not succeed in memorizing our presentation content on a 100% word-by-word basis,but we'll be familiar enough so that we can spend much more time making eye contact with our audience.We will get them in the process,while looking at our text instead of staring at it.This will also free up our hands and arms to convey some extra messages through gesture.
As you see,the technique really works,but like many things,it takes practice to perfect it.Therefore,we'd better find ways to use the language outside of the classroom,as regularly and frequently as possible.One basic rule of language learning is,"Use it,or lose it•"
Seize the forty-minute learning window and we'll bring in a rich harvest of language learning.

10.You know immediately that something strange is going on in the city of Rotorua.The air smells like bad eggs.Clouds of steam rise from the ground.Strange coverings of yellow,white,and red cover the rocks,which burn your hands.The ground shakes as a geyser (间歇泉) sends hot water 100 feet into the air.
Welcome to New Zealand's North Island,where the earth boils under your feet.This hot spot is part of the Ring of Fire,a circle of underwater volcanoes (火山) and earthquake areas around the Pacific Ocean.New Zealand sits above a place between two plates (huge rock s that form the surface of the earth).As they slowly move together,the edge of one plate is pushed under the other,where it becomes molten (熔化的) rock.This molten rock heats rocks and groundwater lying above it,creating a hot area.Under Rotorua lies a huge amount of steam and hot water heated by molten rock.
Rotorua may not sound like a perfect place to live,but people who made their homes in the area managed to survive.The Maori people arrived 600 years ago and built villages around the hot springs.They used the hot water to wash and keep warm.They prepared their meals by placing baskets full of meat and vegetables into steaming pools.Today,the Maoris in traditional villages still use the heat the same way their ancestors did.
The people of Rotorua have learned to live above the boiling earth.Walkers in hot spots must stay on marked paths,or risk falling into a pool of boiling water.For safety,houses are not built in known hot areas.But sometimes the steam and hot water break through the ground in unexpected places.Imagine a geyser suddenly appearing in your front yard!

A.How a geyser works.
B.What Rotorua is like.

2.Harper Lee,whose 1961 novel To Kill a Mockingbird on the racial troubles of the American deep south,has died at the age of 89.
Until last year,Lee had been something of a one-book literary legend.To Kill a Mockingbird sold more than 40 million copies around the world and earned her a Pulitzer prize,remaining a towering presence in American literature.Another novel,Go Set a Watchman,was controversially published in July 2015 as a"sequel"to Mockingbird,though it was later confirmed to be Mockingbird's first draft.
But from the moment Mockingbird was published to almost instant success,the author consistently avoided public attention.Lee had lived for several years in a nursing home near the house in which she had grown up in Monroeville,Alabama-the setting for Maycomb of her famous book.Her neighbor for 40 years,Sue Sellers,said,"She was such a private person.All she wanted was privacy,but she didn't get much.There was always somebody following her around."
James Naughtie,BBC Books Editor,commented on the novels of Harper Lee:"I think she stands,particularly among American readers,as someone who shone a light into a very dark place.She was writing at a time when people were beginning to lift the lid on everything in the South which they'd chosen not to understand.That all changed in the 1960s.So I think her status for writing that book in its extraordinarily direct way will remain."
24.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 probably mean?C
A.Lee became successful with stories on American south.
B.People owe Lee's success to luck to some degree.
C.Mockingbird makes Lee a wonder in American literature.
D.Mockingbird was a bestseller by selling 40m copies.
25.What does"Maycomb"in Paragraph 3 probably refer to?C
A.A nursing home.
B.Lee's hometown.
C.A fictional place.
D.A main character.
26.Which best describes Americans'attitude towards racial troubles before the 1960s?B
A.Tolerant.
B.Unconcerned.
C.Sympathetic.
D.Dissatisfied.
27.What can we learn from the text?C
A.Lee based all her stories on her life.
B.Lee had to avoid being followed by her fans.
C.Lee wrote Go Set A Watchman before Mockingbird.
D.Lee lived in the house where she grew up for the whole life.
