Last week I went to visit to my former neighbor, Mr. Yang. He and I used to living next to each other for many years. About half a year ago, the order came that the old building, along with many other similar ones, was going to be pulled down to make rooms for a main street. So I had to move apart. His new apartment is much big than before. The only problem is that it took quite a long time to get to the downtown area. Therefore, Mr. Yang doesn’t seem to worry about the long distance. He says that new subway line is to be built in a few year and he is sure that life will be better in the future.
【答案】
【解析】【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者去拜访自己以前的老邻居的故事。
第一处:去掉visit后的to;考查动词。动词visit是一个及物动词,后面直接加宾语,不需要介词。故去掉visit后的to。
第二处:living改为live;考查词组搭配。固定搭配used to do sth过去常常做某事;used to后面接动词原形。故living改为live。
第三处:the改为an,考查不定冠词。根据语境可知,此处应泛指“一道拆迁的命令”,应使用不定冠词an。故the改为an。
第四处:rooms改为room;考查名词单复数。此处应指“给一条主要街道腾地方”,room表空间时,为不可数名词。故rooms改为room。
第五处:I改为we;考查代词指代。句意:因此,我们不得不分开。故I改为we。
第六处:big改为bigger;考查比较级。后面有than说明前面应该使用比较级的形式,而且前面有much修饰。故big改为bigger。
第七处:took改为takes;考查动词时态。本句话是一般现在时的时态,且主语是第三人称单数it所以谓语部分使用takes。故took改为takes。
第八处:Therefore改为However;考查副词。句意:唯一的问题是到时区要花很多时间,然而他似乎一点也不担心。上下文之间存在着转折关系,而不是因果关系。故Therefore改为However。
第九处:that后面加a;考查不定冠词。本句是指一条新的地铁线路将要被修建,表泛指,应使用不定冠词a。故that后面加a。
第十处:year改为years;考查名词单复数。根据前面的a few,可知此处应使用year的复数形式。故year改为years。

以下是这些报道的简要内容介绍,请配对它们的标题。
【1】Where did this most popular day for couples come from? And how does it come into beings, year after year? Noel Lenski, professor of the University of Colorado, said the lovers’ holiday traces its roots to raucous annual Roman festivals held every year on February 15 and remained wildly popular well into the fifth century A.D.
【2】The first Earth Day in 1970 was a raucous, radical teach-in that helped spur clean-air, clean-water, and endangered species legislation in the United States. Now, 40 years later, Earth Day is every day, as the saying goes. The thing is, it’s also everyday- environmentalism that has become a routine with greenness as much a marketing tactic as a moral pursuit.
【3】 Some 242 million turkeys were raised in the U.S. in 2010 for slaughter, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service. Last year’s birds were worth about U.S. $3.6 billion. Before the big dinner, debunk the myths, we need to know that the first “real” U.S. Thanksgiving wasn’t until the 1800s and get to the roots of Thanksgiving 2010.
【4】Father’s Day traditionally takes a backseat to Mother’s Day, and, for the most part, dads are cool with that, experts say. Nevertheless, as traditional roles around the house gradually change, fathers are gaining more attention on their special day, at least as measured in the monetary value of gifts estimated to be given on June 19, 2011, when the holiday will be celebrated in dozens of countries.
【5】Cookouts, fireworks, and, of course, a chance to wish Uncle Sam a big “happy birthday” —the day means summer in full swing across the United States and beyond. Besides the founders of the US, Fireworks, first authorized by Congress in 1777, are another legacy. More than 14,000 fireworks displays light up U.S. skies each year.
