【解析】

这是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了一个初到美国的男子在自助餐厅点餐的经历,并由此引发的所思所感。

1

考查动名词。句意:在岛上安顿下来之后,他走进一家自助餐厅去找些吃的。此处动词settle的逻辑主语与主句中的he相同,因而可使用after+动名词的介宾结构,故填settling

2

考查不定式作宾语补足语。句意:在岛上安顿下来之后,他走进一家自助餐厅去找些吃的。此处something为宾语,之后为宾语补足语,以解释something的作用(用途),get为使役动词,表示目的或还未完成的状态时,使用get sth. to do结构而不能使用get sth. done的结构,故填to eat

3

考查副词。句意:最后,一位女士拿着盛满食物的托盘坐在他对面。该空位于句首,结合句意可知应使用副词修饰其后所接的整个句子,表示“最后,最终”,且为句首大写,故填Finally

4

考查名词性从句。句意:女士告诉他自助餐厅是怎样运作的。结合下文内容,女士告诉他自助点餐的流程是怎样的,如何运作,作方式状语,故此处应填how

5

考查冠词。句意:在另一头,他们会告诉你该付多少钱。点餐线有两端,从那一端开始(Start out at that end),再到另一端(the other end)结算,属于具体、确定的特指,故填the

6

考查过去分词作形容词。句意:我惊讶于在美国各种事物是这样运作的。此处表示个人的主观感受,“感到惊讶的”,应使用过去分词形式,故填surprised

7

考查连词。句意:甚至于你可以(靠自己努力)取得成功,但如果你等着别人带给你东西,给你端上来,就永不可能成功。根据句意,前后两个句子间构成转折关系,故填but

8

考查反身代词。句意:你必须站起来,通过你自己(的努力)去得到它。结合句意,此处表达的是“你自己”,故填yourself

9

考查主谓一致。句意:你唯一能做的事情是控制你自己的生活态度。句子主语为the only thing you can do,可以提炼出the thing,即为单数,且该段语境使用一般现在时,故填is

10

考查名词。句意:一旦你达到了生命中的那个境界,快乐和满足就不会太远了。此处快乐和满足(satisfaction)共同作主语,应使用名词,故填happiness

【题目】 Starbuck’s founder, Howard Schultz, came up with an idea for his coffee chain while drinking espresso(浓咖啡) in a bar. He took a good product, repackaged it and globalized it. But to many Italians, the coffee served by Starbucks and other branded stores is as far away from proper Italian coffee as you can get, despite the Italian-sounding offerings on their menus.

Now, I am part-Italian and like most Italians, I think that Italy represents the height of coffee culture, against the standard by which all coffee should be measured. My Italian friends and family hate the idea of adding a little sugar juice or other things to their valuable cappuccino(卡布基诺). I have a coffee machine at home, which is to the Italian kitchen what the kettle is to the British. As far as I’m concerned, the cappuccinos, lattes(拿铁) and espressos served in branded coffee chains taste bitter, a low copy of the real thing.

You’d never ask for a latte in Italy. If you did, you’d get served a glass of milk. Coffee and espresso are the same in Italy. Then there’s the Australian “white coffee”, a halfway house between a Starbucks-style latte and a macchiato(玛奇朵). The “white coffee” has gone global so much that recently it replaced the cappuccino on Starbucks’ menu in some parts of the US.

What’s more, Italians don’t waste time around in coffee shop armchairs drinking cappuccinos while surfing the Internet. Still, when it comes to taste, Italians are trying to reclaim the ground. Part of the problem is the price of coffee. Most Italian bars will not charge more than one euro a cup, which means there isn’t the choice to purchase more high-quality coffee. Italian flavor is held back by the way the coffee is boiled.

I still think I’ll be sticking to home-made coffee from my trusted machine. And I’ll continue to drink it in the Italian way.

1What’s the purpose of telling the story of Starbucks in Paragraph 1?

A.To introduce the topic of the passage.B.To introduce the history of Starbucks.

C.To present the standard of good coffee.D.To explain the key to the success of Starbucks.

2In the author’s opinion, the coffee served in Starbucks and other branded stores _______.

A.contains too much sugar juiceB.represents the Italian coffee culture

C.is very different from that served in the USD.cannot meet the Italian standard of good coffee

3Italians prefer home-made coffee due to the fact that _______.

A.home-made coffee is much cheaper

B.they can produce proper Italian coffee at home

C.each family has a tradition to use the coffee machine

D.they can have access to the Internet when drinking coffee at home

【题目】 Sometimes people add to what they say even when they don't talk. Gestures are the “silent language” of every culture. We point a finger or move another part of the body to show what we want to say. It is important to know the body language of every country or we may be misunderstood.

In the United States, people greet each other with a handshake in a formal introduction. The handshake must be firm. If the handshake is weak, it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness. Friends may place a hand on the other's arm or shoulder, some people, usually women, greet a friend with a hug.

Space is important to Americans. When two people talk to each other, they usually stand about two and a half feet away and at an angle, so they are not facing each other directly. Americans get uncomfortable when a person stands too close. They will move back to have their space. If Americans touch another person by accident, they say, “Pardon me.” or “Excuse me.” Americans like to look at the other person in the eyes when they are talking. If you don't do so, it means you are bored, hiding something, or are not interested. But when you stare at someone, it is not polite.

For Americans, thumbs-up; means yes, very good, or well done. Thumbs-down means the opposite. To call a waiter, raise one hand to head level or above. To show you want the check, make a movement with your hands as if you are singing a piece of paper. It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index finger. Americans shake their index finger at children when they scold them and pat them on the head when they admire them.

Learning a culture's body language is sometimes confusing. If you don't know what to do, the safest thing to do is to smile.

1If you are introduced to a stranger in the USA, you should _________.

A.greet him with a hugB.place a hand on his shoulder

C.shake his hand firmlyD.shake his hand weakly

2Which behavior is acceptable when people talk to each other in the USA?

A.Facing each other directly.B.Touching each other.

C.Not looking at the other person in the eyes.D.Not standing too close.

3When your American friend gives you the thumbs-up, he, in fact,_________.

A.shows his rudeness to youB.shows his anger to you

C.expresses his satisfaction to youD.expresses his worries about you

【题目】 Learning a foreign language isn’t easy, but some people can learn it well if they’re willing to put in the necessary time. 1

Study every day

Language learning is a process of accumulation (积累过程). 2 Study one or two hours out of class every day if you want a good mark.

Distribute (分配) your study time properly

Study a different task each time. Get an overview during half an hour: spend 10 minutes learning new vocabulary; 10 minutes learning new grammar; 10 minutes reading through the text. So you’ll at least have looked at it all.

Take part in every class

3 Learn the grammar and vocabulary outside of class in order to make full use of the class time. If you are active at class and try to perform well, you’ll make progress quickly.

Learn grammar if you don’t already know it

Grammar is the skeleton (骨架) and the basic structure of a language. If you haven’t learned about it, you will meet problems with reading and understanding.4

Develop a good attitude

Have a clear personal reason for taking the class. 5 Leave perfectionism at the door; give yourself permission to make mistakes and learn from them.

A.You cannot put it off until tomorrow.

B.You cannot succeed if you lose heart.

C.So it is necessary for you to learn grammar.

D.Class time is your best opportunity to practice.

E.Here are some practical suggestions for studying effectively (有效).

【题目】 When my son, Tony, was 11 years old, he got a small job helping out with a traveling carnival (狂欢节) in our town. He didn’t come home at lunchtime and got back for supper as usual after he finished his work.

I asked him where he had lunch and he told me he made some new friends at the carnival, some young men who were twin brothers, and their mom and dad. They had paid him a few dollars and invited him for lunch in return for helping them with their chores (杂务).

I was glad Tony found new friends but a little worried about the type of people who might be traveling in a carnival. “Oh, Mom, they’re normal people like anyone else. They just work at a carnival instead of in a store or something”. “Come down tomorrow and meet them yourself,” he said.

So the next day I went to the carnival. The twin brothers turned out to be Siamese (连体的) twins, joined at the chest. Tony didn’t think this fact was noteworthy enough to mention. When I brought it to him, he said, “Yes, I noticed that too. Do you know that their mom has to make all their clothes because it's so difficult to find anything to fit them? They’re also really good cooks. Today, Joe,the one on the right, made me spaghetti (意大利面条) for lunch.”

What others see first in a person is not what a child considers important. Where I saw Siamese twins, he saw people having difficulty buying clothes that fit, and young men who were good cooks. It was a lesson I have thought about many times over the years.

1Why didn’t Tony go home for lunch?

A.Because his mother hoped not.

B.Because he wanted to have a rest.

C.Because his friends invited him for lunch. .

A.her son found a small job and made money

B.her son found new friends during the carnival

C.her son didn’t come back home for lunch

D.her son could do some help to their travelers

3In the author’s opinion, the people who are traveling in a carnival are ________.

A.friendly.B.rich.

C.normal.D.unreliable.

4From the text we may infer that ________.

A.Tony is a kind and honest boy

B.the author couldn't make clothes for her son

C.a child’s opinion is always different from his mother’s

D.the author and her son are not getting on well with each other

【题目】Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

The Conflict of the Orders

The types of people who served as officials in the Roman government changed over time. These changes stemmed from the attempts of common people to more rights. The struggles became known as the Conflict of the Orders.

In the early republic, Romans were divided into two classes of people: patricians and plebeians. Patricians were powerful landowners who controlled the government. As nobles, they inherited their power. Plebeians, who made up most of the population, were mainly farmers and workers. For many years, plebeians had few rights. They could vote, but they were barred from holding most public offices. Plebeians could not even know Roman laws because laws were not written down. In court, a judge stated and applied the law, but only patricians served as judges.

Over time, plebeians increased their power through demand and strikes. They gained the right to join the army, hold government office, form their own assembly, and elect leaders. In one of their greatest victories, they forced the government to write down the laws of the Roman Republic. In about 450, B.C. the Romans engraved their laws on tablets called the Twelve Tables. The laws were placed in the Forum, the chief public square, for all to view.

The first plebeians were appointed to the government in the late 400s B.C. After 342 B. C, a plebeian always held one of the consul positions. By about 300 B. C. many plebeians had become so powerful and wealthy themselves that they joined with patricians to form the Roman nobility. From that time on, the distinction between patricians and plebeians was not as important. Membership in the nobility was still very important, however, since government officials were not paid a salary only wealthy nobles could afford to hold office. Thus, the nobles still controlled the republic.
