【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。叙述了作者第一次偶遇Steve Jobs是在游泳派对上,看见他和他的儿子在一起游的很开心。作者第二次见Steve Jobs是在孩子们的上课的教室里,虽然他的打扮很古怪,其他的人假装感觉很正常,从此以后作者每次遇见Steve Jobs都上去和他打招呼。

1考查连词。句意:我很兴奋,很尴尬因为有机会和他见面,我几乎不能在我们被介绍的时候说出我的名字。空格后是形容词,后面有that引导的从句,so+形容词或副词+that“如此……以至于”。故答案为:so。

2考查动词时态及语态。句意:我很兴奋,很尴尬因为有机会和他见面我几乎不能在我们被介绍的时候说出我的名字根据1空前的was可知,这里叙述的是过去发生的事情,所以2空格处也应该用一般过去时,句子的主语weintroduce是被动关系,所以应该用一般过去时的被动语态。故答案为:were introduced。

3考查非谓语动词。句意:我看着他和他的儿子在游泳池里游泳,就像一个普通的人,一个好爸爸和他的孩子们一起玩。like“像”是介词,a good dadhave之间是主动关系。这里应该用动名词的形式,故答案为:having。

4考查冠词。句意:他坐在教室里,而我们其他人则假装有Steve Jobs在教室里也是完全正常的。这里指除了Steve Jobs之外的所有的人,表示特指,用定冠词。故答案为:the。

5考查副词。句意:他坐在教室里,而我们其他人则假装有Steve Jobs在教室里也是完全正常的。空格后是形容词,修饰形容词应该用副词来修饰。total是形容词“完全的”;totally是副词。故答案为:totally。

6考查定语从句的关系词。句意:那是一个万圣节的时候,我意识到他知道我的名字,这让我有点吃惊。___6___ made me a little surprised.是定语从句,先行词是句子:he actually knew my name。这里是非限制性定语从句,指事时用which。故答案为:which。

7考查非谓语动词。句意:他打扮得像个怪物,他和他的妻子一起装饰了一间可怕的房子。整个句子已经有谓语动词was decorating,句子没有连词,所以空格处只能用非谓语动词,句子的主语hedress的逻辑主语,它们之间是被动关系,所以应该用过去分词表示被动。故答案为:Dressed。

8考查介词短语。句意:从那时起,当我看到他在我们的社区里参加会议时,我毫不犹豫地微笑着打招呼。短语from then on(从那时起)。故答案为:From。

9考查名词。句意:从那时起,当我看到他在我们的社区里参加会议时,我毫不犹豫地微笑着打招呼。neighbor邻居,因为空格前有介词in,所以这里指社区neighborhood。故答案为:neighborhood。

10考查非谓语动词。句意:从那时起,当我看到他在我们的社区里参加会议时,我毫不犹豫地微笑着打招呼。hesitate to do顾虑地做某事,空格处与to smile是并列的两个动词不定式,第二个动词不定式前面的to可以省略。故答案为:say。

【题目】 Pigeons in London have a bad reputation. Some people call them flying rats. And many blame them for causing pollution with their droppings. But now the birds are being used to fight another kind of pollution in this city of 8.5 million.

“The problem for air pollution is that it’s been largely ignored as an issue for a long time,” says Andrea Lee, who works for the London-based environmental organization Client Earth. “People don’t realize how bad it is, and how it actually affects their health.” London’s poor air quality is linked to nearly 10,000 early deaths a year. Lee says, citing(引用)a report released by the city manager last year. If people were better informed about the pollution they’ re breathing, she says, they could pressure the government to do something about it.

Nearby, on a windy hill in London’s Regent’s Park, an experiment is underway that could help—the first week of flights by the Pigeon Air Patrol. It all began when Pierre Duquesnoy, the director for DigitasLBi, a marketing firm, won a London Design Festival contest last year to show how a world problem could be solved using Twitter. Duquesnoy, from France, chose the problem of air pollution.

“Basically, I realized how important the problem was,” he says. “But also I realized that most of the people around me didn’t know anything about it.” Duquesnoy says he wants to better measure pollution, while at the same time making the results accessible to the public through Twitter.

“So”, he wondered, “how could we go across the city quickly collecting as much data as possible?” Drones were his first thought. But it’s illegal to fly them over London. “But pigeons can fly above London, right?” he says. “They live—actually, they are Londoners as well. So, yeah, I thought about using pigeons equipped with mobile apps. And we can use not just street pigeons, but racing pigeons, because they fly pretty quickly and pretty low.”

So it might be time for Londoners to have more respect for their pigeons. The birds may just be helping to improve the quality of the city’s air.

1What can we infer about London’s air quality from Paragraph 2?

A. Londoners are very satisfied with it.

B. The government is trying to improve it.

C. Londoners should pay more attention to it.

D. The government has done a lot to improve it.

2Duquesnoy attended the London Design Festival to _________.

A. entertain Londoners.B. solve a world problem.

C. design a product for sale.D. protect animals like pigeons.

3Why did Duquesnoy give up using drones to fly across London?

A. Because they are too expensive.B. Because they fly too quickly.

C. Because they are forbidden.D. Because they fly too high.

4Which can be the best title for the text?

A. Clean air in London.B. London’s dirty secret.

C. London’s new pollution fighter.D. Causes of air pollution in London.

【题目】 If you’ve done your last year of school but are not yet ready to settle down to life at university or college, why not think about taking a break and having a gap year? Over 200,000 people between the ages of 18 and 25 did this last year.

1 You will become more confident and independent and learn to get on with all sorts of different people during the year, which will help you when you go to university or college. 2 Students who have had a gap year are more likely to be satisfied with their chosen courses and, therefore, are more likely to finish them.

3 Doing voluntary work overseas is one of the most rewarding ways of spending your gap year. If you don’t want to work, there are plenty of other exciting educational possibilities to consider. How about studying art history in Italy? Perhaps you would like to take up acting and want to try a drama course in your gap year. 4 Maybe it has always been your dream to visit China, or India or even Australia.

Of course, you don’t have to leave home. The key to a constructive gap year is to learn new skills and work out what you want to do with your life. You can do this just as easily in your own country as you can on the other side of the world. 5.

A. There are many reasons to take a gap year.

B. The universities actively encourage gap year.

C. What are the most common types of gap year?

D. Having a gap year can help gain relevant work experience and key skills.

E. There are plenty of established volunteering project you can research online.

F. Perhaps you would rather just fill your backpack and go off on an adventure.

G. Employers will often ask you what you gained from the year, not where you went.
