题目内容

【题目】In the middle of the lake _______ a huge island, _______ lives a phantom.

A.lies, whereB.locates, whereC.stands, in whichD.is situated, that

【答案】C

【解析】

考查倒装句和定语从句。句意:湖中央有一个巨大的岛屿,里面住着一个幽灵。A. lies位于;B. locates使·····安置于;位于;C. stands位于(某处);D. is situatedsituate使位于。表示方位的介词短语In the middle of the lake位于句首,句子需要半倒装。分析句子成分可知,分句“_______ lives a phantom.”修饰前边的名词island,且有逗号,因此是非限制性定语从句,that不能引导非限制性定语从句,排除D;又因先行词island在从句中作主语,where引导定语从句在从句中作状语,也可用介词in + which。故排除ABC项符合句意和语法。故选C

【题目】Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks with the proper forms of the given worlds to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct.

Having nothing to write about is, perhaps, the greatest fear of a student about to begin an essay for an IELTS or TOEFL test. However, critical thinking isn’t such a difficult skill to master. In fact, many of you will have already used this valuable skill in your life.

Suppose one of your friends recommends a movie by saying ,“It’s a really wonderful movie and definitely worth 1 (watch).”,Instead of simply taking the recommendation, you may ask the question“Why is it wonderful?”By doing this you are thinking critically. A more professional term to define this process 2 (call) identifying ambiguity, which is regarded as the key stage in thinking critically.

Let’s look at following examples from IELTS Writing Task.

Detailed description of crimes on newspaper and TV have consequence for society, so this kind of information should be restricted in the media. To what extend do you agree or disagree with this statement.

To think critically, the fist thing 3 (consider) isn’t whether you agree or not. You should instead try to clarify the words “detailed description of crimes” by asking yourself 4 these details might be. Then you should come up with a list like this :

1.Investigating the target victim before the crime

2.Measures to avoid 5 (track)by the police

3.Bloody crime scenes.....

After that ,it won’t be hard for us to groups these details, leading eventually to two paragraphs: some disclosure of information may allow people to protect themselves from crime. However,it is not appropriate for many other details 6 (release)to the general public.

Practice identifying ambiguity when you write the essay.Your work will definitely leave a good impression on your teachers.

【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.

A Workaholic Economy

Although the output per hour of work has more than doubled since 1945, leisure seems reserved largely for the unemployed and underemployed. Those who work full-time spend as much time on the job as they did at the end of World War Ⅱ. In fact, working hours have increased noticeably since 1970. Bookstores now abound with manuals describing how to manage time and cope with stress.

There are mainly two reasons for lost leisure.

Since 1970, companies have responded to improvements in the business climate by having employees work overtime rather than by hiring extra personnel. Some firms are even downsizing as their profits climb. A host of factors pushes employers to hire fewer workers for more hours and, at the same time, compels workers to spend more time on the job. Most of those incentives(诱因) involve the structure of compensation(报酬). The way salaries and benefits are organized makes it more profitable to ask 40 employees to labor an extra hour each than to hire one more worker to do the same 40-hour job. Once people are on salary, their cost to a firm is the same whether they spend 35 hours a week in the office or 70. Therefore, it is more profitable for employers to work their existing employees harder.

For all that employees complain about long hours, they, too, have reasons not to trade money for leisure. “People who work reduced hours pay a huge penalty in career terms,” Bailyn of Massachusetts Institute of Technology maintains. “It’s taken as a negative signal about their commitment to the firm.” He adds that many corporate managers find it difficult to measure the contribution of their employees to a firm’s well-being, so they estimate staff productivity in terms of hours worked. Employees know this, and they adjust their behavior accordingly.
