题目内容

8.It was his courage,not his skill,______ really struck me most.(  )
A.whenB.whereC.whichD.that

分析 是他的勇气,而不是技巧真正吸引了我们.

解答 D 考查强调句.强调句的特点就是去掉it was that这个结构,句子完整,不缺少成分,即his courage,not his skill really struck me most.可以判断出这是一个强调句.被强调部分是his courage,not his skill.根据强调句的固定结构It is/was+被强调部分+that+句子的剩余部分,所以答案选D.

点评 强调句是英语中的一个基本句型,也是考试的一个语法内容,在英文中,句子的主语、宾语、状语都可以以一种固定的句式表示对它的强调.It is/was+被强调部分+that+句子的剩余部分,掌握固定结构是做好强调句的关键.

The term “to extend an olive(橄榄) branch” means to make an offer of peace or reconciliation(和好). This term has Biblical(圣经的) origins, coming from the section of the Old Testament that deals with the flood; the sign that the flood is over is an olive branch brought back to the ark(方舟) by a dove. Olive branches were also symbols of peace in Ancient Greece and Rome, and they continue to be used in various works of art that are meant to suggest peace.

Some people have suggested that the olive was a very deliberate and well-considered choice as a metaphor(比喻) for peace, because olive trees famously take years to mature. War is typically very hard on the trees because people cannot take the time to nurture them and plant new ones. Therefore, the offer of an olive branch would suggest that someone is tired of war, whether it is an actual war or a falling out between friends.

In Ancient Greek and Roman times, people would offer actual olive branches. In Rome, for example, defeated armies traditionally carried olive branches to indicate that they were giving in, and the Greeks used them into weddings and other ceremonies. In the modern era, the branch is usually metaphorical, rather than actual, not least because the plants can be a bit difficult to obtain.

Many people agree that peace negotiations at all levels of society are a good idea. Between nations, obviously, it is important to extend an olive branch to ensure mutual safety and to help the world run more smoothly. This act can also be important on a personal level, as resolving conflict and learning to get along with others is viewed as an important life skill in many cultures.

At some point in their lives, many people will be advised to extend an olive branch to settle a dispute or resolve an issue. Some people believe that it takes an immense amount of courage to take this action, as it often comes with an admission of wrongdoing and regret.

3.By the logic(逻辑)of geography,the continent of Australia should have been populated with Asians.Instead,by an accident of history,Australia has been mainly populated with Westerners.
Sadly,no major Australian newspaper or expert commented.This made me aware that Australians are reluctant to face Australia's painful new geopolitical realities.
Against this background,the release of the Asian Century White Paper is timely.It should provide a sharp wake-up call to the Australian population that Australia's destiny(命运)is now firmly tied to Asia.Julia Gillard is right in saying,"The transformation of the Asian region into the economic powerhouse of the world is not only unstoppable,it is gathering pace."
One truly impressive part of the paper is the data it provides on Asia's rise.It notes,for example,that"in the past 20 years,China and India have almost tripled(增三倍)their share of the global economy and increased their economic size almost six times over.By 2025,the region as a whole will account for almost half the world's output."
In this Asian century,as Western power gets weak steadily,Australia will be left"beached"alone as the only Western country (together with New Zealand) in Asia.Twenty-two million Australians will have to learn to deal with 3.5 billion Asians with great care and sensitivity.
Ignorance(无知)about Asia could prove to be fatal(致命的)for Australia's long-term future.This is why the report is right in focusing on Australian misunderstanding of Asia.
Sadly,this kind of terrible ignorance may be a result of Australian education.The report says,"Only a small proportion of Year 12 students study anything about Asia in the subjects of history,literature,geography,economics,politics and the arts under existing state-based curriculums."Worse,only 5 per cent of each Australian groups study any kind of Asian language.
Learning Asian languages would open windows to Asian cultural and political sensitivities.The time for Australians to think deeply about their Asian destiny has arrived.The sooner Australia adjusts to its new Asian destiny,the less painful the adjustment will prove to be.
Title:It's (66)timeto accept our place in Asian region
(67)Background(68)Geographicallyspeaking,Australia is close to Asia,yet few Australians are willing to face Australia's new geopolitical (69)realities.
Release of the white paper  Aim:To tell Australians that their (70)destinydefinitely has much to do with Asia.
Cause:Asia has (71)become the economic powerhouse of the world.
(72)Data:China and India have tripled their share of the global economy and the region will account for half the world's output by 2025. 
Writer's opinionsAustralians will be lonely if they don't learn to deal with 3.5 billion Asians.
Australian (73)education,in part,is responsible for their ignorance about Asia. 
It's right for the paper to (74)focuson Australian misunderstanding of Asia.   
It's high time that Asia languages were (75)taught to Australian children.    

They say after a parents dies, the surviving children can taken on some of their parent’s characteristics. I ____

becoming anything like my dad for years ______I wanted to be me, not him; but there I sat at his memorial service several months ago, telling myself, “ You’ve   _______a lot more of your dad in you than you think.”

There is this phrase my dad ______, and I know I’m going to sound ______to complain about it, but it used to ______me. “ I am so proud of you,” he told us kids, whether we’d won a race or helped others.

I knew the feeling of parental ______well, especially when my boys achieved in ways that were  _____my comprehension and ability, but I looked for other ways to _____  it. “ That’s an extremely good story you’ve written!” I would say about the composition. I thought that by making my praise _____, it would feel like I was claiming their achievement less as mine and more as one they could own themselves.

So just the other day when my older son sent me an email about his scholarship, I searched  for _____things to say, but finally _____he doesn’t need my cleverness. They just want what my dad gave me. “ I’m so proud of you,” I wrote. Just like the old man to me.
