【解析】

本文是说明文,介绍了英国酒吧的起源和营业的一些情况。

1考查名词。句意:参观酒吧是英国最古老的娱乐形式之一。在介词of后应该接名词,entertain是动词,名词形式为entertainment。故填entertainment

2考查冠词。句意:建造第一家酒馆的想法是几千年前征服英国的罗马军队带到英国的。在序数词第一/…”前,应该用定冠词。故填the

3考查时态和语态。句意:建造第一家酒馆的想法是几千年前征服英国的罗马军队带到英国的。根据时间状语thousands of years ago可知是叙述过去的事情,用一般过去时;句子主语the idea和谓语动词bring之间为被动关系,应用被动语态;因此用一般过去时的被动语态;主语是The idea, 谓语动词应该用单数;bring是不规则变化动词,过去分词为brought。故填was brought

4考查从属连词。句意:酒吧开始主要供应啤酒,就像他们现在的做法一样。此处用as引导方式状语从句,意为正如;也可用连词like 引导方式状语从句,意为“如同”。故填as/like

5考查时态。句意:其中最古老的一家,在ST. AlbansFighting Cocks酒吧,位于一座可以追溯到11世纪的建筑里。短语 date back to “起源于,追溯到;根据主句谓语动词is located的时态,是叙述客观事实,因此用一般现在时;空后是定语从句,修饰先行词a building,和谓语动词date之间为主动关系。故填dates

6考查定语从句。句意:英国酒吧要求有许可证,这是很难得到的。分析句子结构,空前有逗号,此处是非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词a license,指物,在从句中做宾语,用which引导非限制性定语从句。故填which

7考查非谓语动词 。句意:英国的饮酒年龄是18岁。修饰名词age应该用形容词,因此用形容词化的现在分词drinking做定语。故填drinking

8考查介词。句意:孩子们可以和他们的父母一起进入酒吧,直到晚上9点。上一句说“14岁的孩子可以无人陪同进入酒吧”,此句意为“小一些的孩子可以和父母一起进入酒吧”;介词with意为一起。故填with

9考查副词。句意:这就让一家人一起享用价格合理的酒吧餐。修饰过去分词priced,应用副词。故填reasonably

10考查名词单复数。句意:这也允许酒吧继续作为社区中心的传统角色而存在。根据常理,社区中心应该有很多,因此 center用复数形式。故填centers

【题目】 What you give your relatives and friends can help you know yourself better. 1 Most gift-giving (and getting) shows nothing more than the spirit of love and friendship. But it is possible to form some associations between the kinds of things brought and the people who buy them. 2

The clothes you wear tell something about your personality. They tell the world not only how you want to be seen but how you see yourself as well. When someone gives you something to wear that agrees with your self-image, they’re saying, “3” Such a gift should be taken as a form of compliment (赞美). On the other hand, a gift of clothing that doesn’t match your personality could be an insult (侮辱) to your character.

4 If you receive a homemade gift, you re lucky. It may not be made perfectly, but it will show a certain quality of love. They’ve given time and emotion, two important characteristics of being creative.

People who give books as gifts either like reading or would like everyone to think they do. If you happen to receive a large, heavy book, its giver may be much more interested in the way things appear than in the way they actually are. Of course, reading is a way of feeling the emotions of another person and of learning new things. 5 The giver is probably trying to say to you what the book said to him.

A.I agree with you. I like you the way you are.

B.However, gift giving can be misunderstanding if you are careless.

C.Also, what they give you can tell you something about their personality.

D.I don’t like you, especially the way you dress yourself.

E.Here is a guide to who gives what—and why.

F.Giving a book can be a way of sharing a feeling or newly-learnt meaning.

G.Making something by hand has become the exception in many countries today.

【题目】 Consuming food can be a pleasurable thing-we enjoy the mix of tastes and textures (结构) and it stops us feeling hungry too. Of course, food also gives us energy and the vitamins and minerals that our body needs. It’s no wonder we spend so much time preparing and eating food. But what many of us don’t consider is how our emotions are affected by what we put into our bellies.

For me, it’s the unhealthy foods that put a smile on my face-chocolate, cakes and ice cream. It might seem obvious that food that’s bad for our waistline, usually makes us happy, at least in the short term. But dieticians tell us that eating bad food long term, not only makes us put on weight but can lead to other health conditions such as diabetes (糖尿病), and it can also affect our mental state and bring on depression.

The link between our mind and food has been looked at by scientists. They’ve recently found that it’s the bacteria in our gut that affects our mood. It’s thought we have 39 trillion of these simple, small organisms (生物体) in our body. Researchers at McMaster University in Canada have found that certain “good” bacteria help reduce anxiety in mice. Experts believe that, for us humans, this means food with “good” bacteria can improve the way we feel.

Many food products are claiming to be high in this “good” bacteria and some of the best types are homemade food like miso soup, yoghurt and sauerkraut (泡菜). Doctor Michael Mosley would agree. He says the best food to cheer us up is in a “Mediterranean diet”. Olive oil; oily fish, full of omega 3, which is really good for the brain; whole grains; lots of fruits and vegetables. Sugar: terrible for you! There are other factors that can change our mood but it seems we have some ability to improve how we feel by controlling what we put on our plate. Does your diet affect your mood?

1What helps reduce anxiety in mice?

A.Good bacteria.B.Bad food.

C.Large organisms.D.Health conditions.

2We can infer from the last paragraph that ________.

A.we can improve how we feel by controlling food

B.people had better eat less cakes and ice cream

C.Mediterranean diet cheers people up

D.some of the worst food are homemade food like miso soup

3The best title of the passage may be ________.

A.The Theory of FoodB.Change Your Food

C.Food and MoodD.Enjoy Your Food
