题目内容

【题目】阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

There must be spirits that direct me to different 【1】 (victim) in the wild. That’s the only explanation for the impossible chance meeting.

My wife and I set out across a large wasteland of sandy desert and just headed for the mountains and canyons (峡谷) two miles away. After a few minutes, high on the canyon wall we clearly heard someone else talking in the 【2】 (distant). I climbed a little up and saw a man shouting to us. He seemed very 【3】 (frighten). We climbed up a few hundred feet to where he was. He was a policeman from California. He and his wife were driving a motorbike for miles across the mountains. The policeman was typical 【4】 an adventurer. He headed down into the canyon on a path 【5】 driving was not allowed. His wife 【6】 (wise) got off it just before he drove it over a small ledge (岩架) and he landed it on a tree. Yes, this motorbike had its wheels several meters off the ground, 【7】 (hang) in a bush like a tree. Without the bush, he 【8】 (be) injured. It took us an hour to rescue him. 【9】 (save) by us, he was very thankful to us.

The couple thought it necessary 【10】 they should relax before heading back.

【答案】

【1】victims

【2】distance

【3】frightened

【4】of

【5】where

【6】wisely

【7】hanging

【8】should/could/might/would have been

【9】Saved/ Having been saved

【10】that

【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者和妻子无意间在野外发现了一对需要救助的夫妻，它们的摩托车挂在了树上，最终作者对他们施以援手，收获了他们的感恩。

【1】考查名词的数。victim为可数名词，由different判断此处用victim的复数形式，故填victims。

【2】考查名词。此处考查短语in the distance“在远处”，故填distance。

【3】考查形容词。此处应填形容词作为seem宾语，又该词修饰主语he，故填frightened。

【4】考查介词。此处考查be typical of是……的典型， he was typical of an adventurer“他是典型的冒险家”，故填of。

【5】考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，此处是定语从句关系词，先行词path在从句中充当地点状语，故用关系副词where，故填where。

【6】考查副词。此处应用wise的副词形式修饰动词短语got off，故填wisely。

【7】考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知，此处应用非谓语作状语，hang和motorbike之间是逻辑上的主动关系，故用现在分词，故填hanging。

【8】考查虚拟语气。句意：如果没有灌木丛，他肯定受伤了。结合句意和without，判断此处是含蓄虚拟语气，且与过去事实相反，故用“情态动词 + have done”，故填should/could/might/would have been。

【9】考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知，此处是非谓语动词作状语，主语he和save之间是逻辑上的被动关系，故用过去分词作状语；又该动作可以理解为发生在谓语动作was之前，故用过去分词的完成式having been done，故填Saved/ Having been saved。

【10】考查宾语从句。分析句子结构可知，句中it是形式宾语，they should relax before heading back.是宾语从句，且该句子的成分和意义都完整，故用连接词that引导，故填that。

A.associatedB.consistentC.familiarD.permanent

【题目】 Soaps are television serial (连续的) dramas of a highly dramatic and sentimental (情感的) nature. They are called soaps because many of them were originally funded by soap companies. They were appealing to an audience primarily made up of house wives. Soaps tell us a lot about the viewers they are produced for. These long-running serials, with potentially endless episodes (集), are concerned with everyday life. They are generally aimed at the lower classes in a country.

In the US, the most popular soaps usually feature the lives of the rich, the charming and the beautiful. Their houses are always beautiful, big and well decorated. The characters lead exciting lives. Most of these characters are very ambitious. One of the most popular soaps is The bold and the Beautiful. The name says it all really! It is set in Los Angeles and centred on the attractive and wealthy Forrester family and their impossibly gorgeous fashion house business. It is probably the most watched soap in the world.

The British prefer to see ordinary characters rather than the gorgeous high-flyers of the US soaps. They prefer to view on TV what they have experienced personally and what they actually see around them. They believe that one should accept one’s station in life and not attempt to be more than one actually is.

Coronation Street, first shown in 1960, is the longest-running British TV soap opera. It is watched by about one-third of the British population, more often by women, by older people, and especially by people from lower socio-economic groups. EastEnders is another popular British show, though it appeals to a younger generation. Again the characters tend to be working class. In addition to women, young people and men are also given strong roles in order to reach a wider audience.

Thus the soaps can teach us a lot about the audience that they are intended for. The characters, settings and even the story lines can show us what appeals to British and American people.

【1】What’s the relationship between soaps and soap companies according to Paragraph 1?

A.Soap companies are named after soaps.

B.Soap companies support soaps financially.

C.Soap companies depend on soaps for promoting their products.

D.Soap companies make soaps appealing to the public.

【2】How does the author introduce US soaps in Paragraph 2?

A.By using examples.B.By making comparisons.

C.By analyzing causes.D.By describing processes.

【3】Which is the difference between British soaps and American soaps?

A.The audience they are intended for.B.Their popularity and influence.

C.The characters’ class and the settings.D.Their tradition and history.

【4】What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A.To show his love for soaps.

B.To remember some of the classic soaps.

C.To introduce American and British soaps.

D.To encourage audience to watch more soaps.

【题目】Traditions of giving middle names vary around the world.

Scotland

Middle names are actually a fairly recent discovery in Scotland. However, as the practice has become popular around the world, it has become pretty common for Scottish babies to have middle names. Because last names in Scotland are generally associated with their family roots, and first names usually describe a physical characteristic, many parents see a middle name as an opportunity to give their baby a slightly more creative name.

Spain and Latin America

In Spain and Latin America, a middle name is a way to break free from the cultural code governing first names. In some countries, even first names are legislated(立法) to be of Christian origin. In Chile, most girls are named Maria, after the Virgin Mary, so the middle name is used in practice for differentiation. Maria is the most common name in the Spanish-speaking world, so in all Spanish-speaking countries the middle name takes on great significance.

Russia

In Russia, both boys and girls are given middle names based on their father's first name. For boys, the middle name usually has ovich, or evich, added to its ending. For girls, the middle patronymic(从父名衍生出的名字) name usually has ovna, or evna, added to its ending. People in Russia are often referred to by both their first and middle names, sort of the way parents in America use their children's full names when they're trying to get their attention(or yell at them). Close friends in Russia often don't use their first names completely, and use only patronymic names, when talking to each other.

Australia

According to Law Buddy, an Australian legal advice service, child naming laws in Australia allow Birth Registrars to refuse to register baby names that to be offensive to register to careless, inappropriate, ridiculous. They do allow for children to get a middle name, which is typically reserved for the mother's maiden name(娘家姓),provided, of course, that the mother's maiden name is not offensive, careless, inappropriate, or ridiculous.

【1】What do we know about giving middle names in Scotland?

A.It needs to be based on their family roots.

B.It's opposed by the elderly in the country

C.It mainly describes a baby's appearance.

D.It didn't become common until not long ago

【2】What role do middle names in the Spanish-speaking countries play?

A.Showing family roots.

B.Showing their unique culture.

C.Describing a physical characteristic.

D.Allowing people to have different names

【3】What is a typical feature of middle names in Russia?

A.They usually have the same ending.

B.They're usually very creative names.

C.They're usually difficult to remember.

D.They're based on their father's middle name.

【4】What should parents in Australia consider when naming their children?

A.Avoiding a middle name.

B.Avoiding registering baby names.

C.Using the mother's proper maiden name.

D.Using an unusual name for differentiation.

Once a traveler came to a village, hungry. The villagers tried to stop the traveler from staying, fearing he wanted to give him food. They told him there was no food anywhere to be found. The traveler explained he didn't need any food and that in fact, he was planning to make a soup to share with all of them. The villagers watched strangely as he built a fire and filled a large pot with water. Then he pulled a stone from a bag, dropping the stone into the pot. He tasted the soup and said how delicious the stone soup was. As the villagers began to show interest, he said how good the soup would be with just a little cabbage in it. A villager brought out a cabbage to share. This event repeated itself until the soup had cabbage, carrots and onions indeed, a large soup that fed everyone in the village.

Are you like one of the villagers, holding back? If you come forward and share your gifts, you will encourage others to do the same. The reward is a gift that can benefit many.

Humor

If you see humor as an optional form of entertainment, you’re missing some of its biggest benefits: Humor makes average-looking people look cute and uninteresting people seem entertaining. Studies show that a good sense of humor even makes you seem smarter.

Best of all, humor raises your energy, and that can have an effect on everything you do at school, at work, or in your personal life. The increase of energy will even make you more willing to exercise, and that will raise your overall energy even more.

Humor also transports your mind away from your daily troubles. Humor lets you better understand life and sometimes helps you laugh at even the worst of your problems.

In my experience, most people think they have a sense of humor, and to some degree that’s true. But not all senses of humor are created equal. So I thought it would be useful to include some humor tips for everyday life.

You don’t have to be the joke teller in the group in order to show your sense of humor. You can be the one who directs the conversation to fun topics that are ripe for others to add humor. Every party needs a straight person. You’ll appear fun and funny by association.

When it comes to in-person humor, effort counts a lot. When people see you trying to be funny, it frees them to try it themselves. So even if your own efforts at humor fall short, you might be freeing the long kept humor in others. People need permission to be funny in social settings because there’s always a risk that comes with humor. For in-person humor, quality isn’t as important as you might think. Your attitude and effort count a lot.

Some people--and I was one of them--believe that humorous complaints about the little problems of life make humor, and sometimes that is the case. The problem comes when you start doing too much complaint-based humor. One funny observation about problem in your life can be funny, but five is just complaining, no matter how smart you think you are. Funny complaints can wear people out.

Self-deprecating(自嘲式) humor is usually the safest type, but here again you don’t want to overshoot the target. One self-deprecating comment is a generous and even confident form of humor. You have to be at least a bit self-assured to laugh at yourself in front of others. But if you do it too often, you can transform in the eyes of others from a confident joker to a Chihuahua dog.

Humor
Benefits of humor	●Humor is form of 【1】. Humor can improve one’s【2】 and personality. ●Humor can make one 【3】 in his work, study, and life. ●Humor has a positive【4】 effect when we are in difficulties.
【5】to follow	●【6】 others for a conversation of fun is as good as telling a joke yourself when showing your sense of humor. ●Quality counts 【7】 than attitude and effort-even stupid joke can 【8】 others of risk and embarrassment.
Traps to 【9】	●One humorous complaint makes funny person. But too many complaints will 【10】 your audience. ●Self-deprecating comments show one’s assurance. But too much deprecation will make a Chihuahua dog.
