题目内容

15．The teacher rather than the students _____ referring to Reading Skills that _____newly published in America．（　　）
A．is； wasB．is； wereC．are； wasD．are； were

分析 是老师而不是学生提到了在美国刚被发表的阅读技能．

解答 答案：A
rather than 固定短语，意为"而不是"，连接两个并列主语时，谓语动词遵循"就远原则"，本句谓语应与the teacher 保持一致，故用is；that引导的是一个定语从句，修饰Reading skills，意为"阅读技巧"，是一个专有名词，所以谓语用单数was．

点评 本题考查了动词第三人称单数．难度适中，考生要能熟练掌握as well as，together with，rather than，along with等短语连接两个并列主语时，谓语动词遵循"就远原则"．另外，专有名词作主语，谓语应用单数．

7．Grandpa picked up several items and placed them on the counter （柜台）．He told the clerk it would be on credit．The clerk was new and didn't know Grandpa，though he had been coming to this same country store for 20years．
"Sign here，"the clerk pointed to a piece of paper and said．
Grandpa took the pencil beside the paper and carefully marked an"X"on the dotted line．
"You're supposed to sign your name，"she said．
Grandpa's hand shook with the pencil．He was a tall man，thin with sandy blond hair and blue eyes．I hadn't seen him so embarrassed （尴尬） before，especially in front of a teenager girl．
"I can't read or write，"he said．"I've always signed with an'X'"．I could see he wanted nothing more than to get out of there．
I wasn't sure what happened，but somewhere deep inside of Grandpa had been pricked．I went close to him and broke my Hershey's bar in half．
"Want some？"I asked．He took it and bit into it．In spite of his smile，the sadness in his eyes said that chocolate wouldn't make the pain go away．
Grandpa is no longer with us now，but I know he was never simply"Grandpa X"．He just didn't know how to read and he thought it was too late in life for him to start．What I would want to tell Grandpa more than anything else，if I could speak to him today，is that it's not too late．There are programs and people who are willing to help him learn to read and write．But the most important thing I'd say is that whether he could read or not，he was never just"Grandpa X"to me．

C．He had always signed with an"X"in the country store before the new clerk came．
D．He was a hard-working man but slow at learning．
27．The underlined word"pricked"in paragraph 7means"C"．
A．ignored 
B．fooled 
C．hurt

28．What can we infer from the last paragraph？B
A．It's difficult for an old man to learn to read．
B．The writer's love for his grandpa wouldn't change．
C．The writer would have respected his grandpa more if he had learned to read．
D．You will be looked down upon if you can't read or write．
