I lost my passport two days before at about 8:30 in the evening that I bought three dictionaries at the MBC bookstore. By accidents, I left my passport at the shop. When I realized what I have done, I telephoned the shop, but the shop assistants there could not find one. I would be grateful if you could tell me what documents I need send you in order to get a new passport. Do you require any passport photographs, and if so how many? How much will a new passport cost but in which currency would you like me to pay off? I must apologize to any inconvenience caused and look forward to hear from you soon.

【答案】1. before→ago

2. that→when

3. accidents→accident

4. have→had

5. one→it

6. needsend之间加to

7. but→and

8. off去掉

9. to→for

10. hear→hearing

【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。本文中的在书店里丢了护照,咨询补办护照需要的材料以及费用等信息。

第一处:考查副词。副词ago与一段时间连用,通常与一般过去时连用;而before与一段时间连用,表示过去的过去时间,与完成时连用。本句描述两天前的事情,所以使用ago。

第二处:考查状语从句连词。句意:两天前晚上8点半的时候,当我书店买三本字典的时候,我把护照丢了。本句中应用when引导时间状语从句,表示“当……时”,修饰主句

第三处:考查固定短语。短语by accident是固定短语,意为“偶然”。

第四处:考查时态。句意:当我意识到自己所做的事情时候,我打电话给书店。“我”在书店丢了书发生在意识到之前,该动作是过去的过去发生的,所以使用过去完成时。故把have改为had。

第五处:考查代词。代词it指代上文出现的同一事物passport;代词one指代同类事物中的某一个,表示泛指。

第六处:考查动词。情态动词need通常用于否定句和疑问句中,实意动词need后面要接不定式做宾语。本句中need是实意动词,后面要跟不定式,故在send前加to

第七处:考查连词。句意:一份新护照要花多少钱,并且你们想要我用什么货币支付?根据句意可知,上下文之间是顺接的并列关系,并不是转折关系。故把but改为and

第八处:考查动词。动词pay支付;短语pay off还清;句意:一份新护照要花多少钱,并且你们想要我用什么货币支付?这里并不是“付清”的意思,而是“支付”的意思,故去掉off

第九处:考查固定短语。短语apologize to sb for sth因为某事向某人道歉;介词to的宾语通常是道歉的对象。句意:我要为给你带来的麻烦向你道歉。

第十处:考查动名词。短语“look forward to(期待)中的“to”是介词,后面要接名词或动名词做宾语。故把hear改为hearing

【题目】 I took a motor rickshaw to the train station in the city of Belapur. The driver didn’t speak much English, but understood “Belapur Railway Station”. I had my tabla, a traditional drum from India, my suitcase with my clothes and other essentials. The feeling of flying by cars in this little machine is: as if you are inside a box with tiny wheels, dashing through terrible traffic.

I arrived at the station safely, and took a heavy breath as I unloaded my baggage before the ticket office. It was the first time that I had taken a train in India. I wanted to go to Tilak Nagar, where I was going to learn traditional vocal music. Standing in line, I counted at least 20 people staring at me. I bought my ticket, which was only 55 cents for a 20-minute train ride. The prices still blow me away.

When the train came after 15 minutes or so, I got on with all speed, as the train only stops for a few seconds. The locals again stared at me. This was a train especially for local transport. After a while, a young man asked me if he could talk to me. He wanted to know if I was in a band. I stated no, but I love to play the tabla. Through the conversation I knew he was a student of engineering with his exams being tomorrow — I wished him good luck for the exams sincerely, as I know what it means to Indian students to get good marks on their exams. If students do not get good enough scores, job opportunities will be few in a highly-competitive environment.

The student I met helped me unload my luggage as the train reached Tilak Nagar Station. He shook my hand strongly and looked into my eyes with marks of genuine care and friendship, despite us meeting for only 20 minutes.

1Which of the following best explains the author’s feeling of riding in a motor rickshaw?

A. Relaxed.B. Courageous.

C. Frightened.D. Excited.

2Why did so many people stare at the author at the station?

A. Because he was carrying a strange instrument.

B. Because his suitcase was too large for him.

C. Because he was a foreigner to the local people.

D. Because he couldn’t understand what they said.

3What do we know about the young man mentioned in the passage?

A. He wanted to learn to play tabla from the author.

B. He was a student on the way to a university.

C. He was a genuine and helpful university student.

D. He wished to find a job in Tilak Nagar.

4What can be the best title for the text?

A. Traveling Is the Most Memorial TimeB. A Warm-hearted Indian Student I Met

C. I Learn to Play the Tabla in IndiaD. My First Train Travel in India

【题目】Interviewing is one of those skills that you can only get better at. You will never again feel so ill at ease as when you try it for the first time, you’ll probably never feel entirely comfortable trying to get from another person answers that he or she maybe too shy to reveal. But at least half of the skill is mechanical. The rest is instinct(本能直觉), which can all be learned with experience.

The basic tools for an interview are paper and two or three well-sharpened pencils. But keep your notebook or paper out of sight until you need it. There’s nothing less likely to relax a person than the arrival of someone with a note-taking pad(便签纸). Both of you need time to get to know each other. Take a while just to chat, judging what sort of person you’re dealing with, getting him or her to trust you.

Never go into an interview without doing whatever homework you can. If you are interviewing a town official, know his voting record. If it’s an actor, know what plays he has been in. You will not be liked if you inquire about facts that you could have learned in advance.

Many beginning interviewers are afraid that they are forcing the other person to answer questions and have no right to inquire about his personal secrets. The fear is almost 100 percent unnecessary. Unless the person really hates being interviewed, he is delighted that somebody wants to interview him.

Most men and women lead lives that are uninteresting, and they grasp any chance to talk to an outsider who seems eager to listen.

This doesn’t certainly mean that it will go well. In general you will be talking to people who have never been interviewed before, and they will get used to the process awkwardly(笨拙地), perhaps not giving you anything that you can use. Come back another day; it will go better. You will both even begin to enjoy it—proof that you aren’t forcing your victim to do something he doesn’t really want to.

1The word “reveal” could best be replaced by ________.

A. ask B. question

C. give D. look

2According to the passage, during an interview notebooks or paper should ________.

A. never be used B. be used only when necessary

C. be kept at home D. be given to the interviewer

3It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that most men and women ________.

A. are afraid to meet interviewers B. hate being interviewed

C. like being interviewed D. fear to speak to outsiders

4According to the passage, if a person being interviewed is too uneasy to give you anything useful, what should you do?

A. Arrange another interview. B. Give him or her a bad score.

C. Wait until he or she calms down. D. Try to make him or her trust you

【题目】A new study, which was published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, found that heavy use of platforms such as Facebook and Snapchat was associated with feelings of being separated from society among young adults—basically the opposite of what we are led to believe.

Study co-author Brian Primack and his team surveyed 1,787 U. S. adults aged 19 to 32 and asked them about their usage of 11 social media platforms. They also asked participants questions related to social isolation, such as how often they felt left out. The participants who reported spending the most time on social media—over two hours a day—had twice the odds of perceived(感知到的)social isolation than those who said they spent a half-hour per day or less on the same sites.

According to Tom Kersting, psychotherapist and author of Disconnected, the key to understanding these results lies in our understanding of “connections.” “Humans are social —emotional beings, meaning that it is in our DNA to be connected, face-to-face, with other humans,” he told Reader’s Digest. “Although people think being on social media all the time makes them ‘connected’ to others, they are actually ‘disconnected,’ because the more time one spends behind a screen, the less time one spend face-to-face.”

“Part of the issue of loneliness is that the majority of people who use social media aren’t just posting, they are also viewing,” Kersting continued. “They are spending a lot of time looking at everyone else’s posts, where they are and what they are doing. The constant exposure to everyone else’s ‘perfect’ life experiences causes feelings of being left out.”

So what’s the answer? It’s simple, says Kersting. “The solution to this is resisting the temptation to look at everyone else’s life. Just focus on your own life, where you’re going, what you are grateful for, and what you want to accomplish in this world.”

1What is the finding of the new study?

A. Humans are social-emotional beings.

B. Social media platforms are overused by the young.

C. Social media strengthens interpersonal relationship.

D. Heavy use of Social media can lead to loneliness.

2How did the team conduct their research?

A. By asking questions. B. By experimenting.

C. By distributing forms. D. By media reporting.

3Who might have a strong feeling of social isolation?

A. Those who use a single social media platforms.

B. Those who spend three hours a day on social media.

C. Those who don’t spend time on social media.

D. Those spending a half-hour per day on social media.

4What does Kersting suggest people do to avoid feelings of social isolation?

A. Never compare with others. B. Make more fiends on the internet.

C. Choose a travel destination. D. Set up a clear goal for the future.

【题目】Swiss researchers said Monday they have developed a wireless camera system to monitor vital signs in premature babies, a move that could replace uncomfortable and highly inaccurate skin sensors (传感器) which produce false alarms in up to 90 percent of cases, mainly set off by the baby’s movement.

“This is a cause of discomfort for the babies, because we have to check on them every time,” said Jean-Claude Fauchere, a doctor at University Hospital Zurich’s newborn clinic.

His hospital is preparing to begin tests of a new, contactless system created by researchers at the EPFL polytechnical university in Lausanne and at the Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology.

The system designed in Switzerland should allow premature babies kept warm in incubators (恒温箱) to be medically monitored using highly sensitive cameras that detect the newborn’s pulse by analyzing its skin color, which changes so slightly every time its heart beats.

“Breathing is monitored by measuring movements of its chest and shoulders. At night, infrared (红外线的) cameras take over, and monitoring can be carried out non-stop,” the statement said.

The visual system was designed by CSEM researchers, who chose cameras sensitive enough to detect minute changes in skin color, while the EPFL researchers designed algorithms (运算程序) to process the data in real time.

“We ran an early study on adults, where we looked at a specific part of skin on their foreheads,” EPFL doctoral student Sibylle Fallet said. “With our algorithms we can track this area when the person moves, and use tiny changes in their color to determine the pulse,” she said. “The tests showed that the cameras produced practically the same results as conventional sensors.”

Once the system has been widely tested on premature babies, it could one day replace skin sensors altogether, the schools said.

1What is the advantage of the wireless camera system?

A. It is light and painless. B. It is mobile and effective.

C. It is cheap and convenient. D. It is comfortable and accurate.

2What is the key for the wireless camera to monitor a premature baby?

A. Its non-stop measurement.

B. Good condition of incubators.

C. Its sensitivity to sense skin color change.

D. The algorithms to process the data in time.

3It be inferred from what Sibylle Fallet said that .

A. their early study on adults was successful

B. the system has been used on premature babies

C. the visual system can sense the people’s pulse

D. the wireless cameras will replace conventional sensors

4What’s the schools’ attitude towards the visual system?

A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Unconcerned. D. Uncertain.
