Dear Jeremy and Alice,
Although we've been delighted to have you as neighbors, we're hoping to settle something that bothers to us. In a word, your dog --- Cleo.
We've called several time about Cleo's early morning barking. It is difficult to understanding why she barks every minute she's outside. The early morning barking have been disturbing as we are often up all night with the baby. Beside, Cleo tends to bark a average of six hours a day. This morning she starts barking even before 5 o'clock. That is too much for us, considering how closely our houses are.
We appreciate our apologies and goodwill, but we hope that you can figure a good way of settling the matter.
Sincerely

【答案】①去掉bother to中的to

②time改为times

③understanding改为understand

④have改为has

⑤beside改为besides

⑥a average中的a改为an

⑦starts改为started

⑧closely改为close

⑨our改为your

⑩figure后面添加out


【解析】本文叙述的是邻居家的狗叫声早上扰民的事情。

①去掉bother to中的to 动词bother困扰,麻烦;这是一个及物动词,后面直接加宾语,不需要使用介词to。

②time改为times 本句中的time表示“次数”,是一个可数名词,前面有several修饰,说明使用复数形式。

③understanding改为understand 本句中的it是一个形式主语,真正的主语是后面的不定式结构to understand why….;不定式结构中to后面要接动词原形。

④have改为has 本句的主语是单个的动名词短语the early morning barking,做主语时,谓语动词要使用单数形式。

⑤beside改为besides 介词beside以为“在…旁边”;本句中的besides是一个副词“而且”,单独使用,表示递进关系。

⑥a average中的a改为an 名词average是以元音开始的单词,所以使用an修饰average of…。

⑦starts改为started 本句叙述的是具体早晨发生的事情,也就是过去所发生的事情,所以使用一般过去时started。

⑧closely改为close 本句how close the houses are中的close本应该是在系动词are的后面,构成系表结构are close。Closely是一个副词,副词通常不能和许系动词连用构成系表结构的。

⑨our改为your 句义:我们很欣赏你的歉意。根据后面的you可知对方是来道歉的。

⑩figure后面添加out 固定搭配figure out找到,算出。我们希望你能够找到一个解决问题的好方法。故在figure后面添加out。

It was once common to regard Britain as a society with class distinction. Each class had unique characteristics.
In recent years, many writers have begun to speak of the 'decline of class ' and 'classless society ' in Britain. And in modern day consumer society everyone is considered to be middle class.
But pronouncing the death of class is too early. A recent wide-ranging study of pubic opinion found 90 percent of people still placing themselves in a particular class; 73 percent agreeed that class was still a vital part of British society.; and 52 percent thought there were still sharp class differences. Thus, class may not be culturally and politically obvious, yet it remains an imprtant part of British society. Britain seems to have a love of stratification.
One unchanging aspect of a British person's class position is accent. The words a person speaks tell her or his class. A study of British accents during the 1970s found that a voice sounding like a BBC newsreader was viewed as the most attractive voice. Most people said this accent sounds 'educated ' and 'soft '. The accents placed at the bottom in this study, on the other hand, were regional(地区的) city accents. These accents were seen as 'common ' and 'ugly '. However, a similar study of British accents in the US turned these results upside down and placed some regional accents as the most attractive and BBC English as the least. This suggests that British attitudes towards accent have deep roots and are based on class prejudice.
In recent years, however, young upper midder-class people in London, have begun to adopt some regional accents, in order to hide their class origins. This is an indication of class becoming unnoticed. However, the 1995 pop song ' Common People ' puts forward the view that though a middle-class person may ' want to live like common people ' they can never appreciate the reality of a working class life.
(1)A recent study of pubic opinion shows that in modern Britain _________.
A.it is time to end class distinction
B.most people belong to middle class
C.it is easy to recognize a person's class
D.people regard themselves socially different
(2)The word stratification in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to_________.
A.variety
B.division
C.authority
D.qualification
(3)The study in the US showed that BBC English was regarded as _________.
A.regional
B.educated
C.prejudiced
D.unattractive
(4)British attitudes towards accent_________.
A.have a long tradition
B.are based on regional status
C.are shared by the Americans
D.have changed in recent years
(5)What is the main idea of the passage?
A.The middle class is expanding.
B.A person's accent reflects his class.
C.Class is a key part of British society.
D.Each class has unique characteristics.

In 1880, fourteen-year-old Matthew Henson loved to hear sailors tell tales of their exciting lives at sea. The travel, the adventure, the danger, and the steady pay were all attracting young Henson. One day, he found a job as a cabin boy on a beautiful ship called the Katie Hinds. For the next five years, Henson sailed around the world. With the help of the ship's captain and other members of the crew, Henson learned mathematics, navigation, history, geography, and many other subjects. By the time he left the Katie Hinds in 1885, Henson was well educated and had become an excellent seaman.
Unable to find work anywhere else, Henson took a job in a hat shop in Washington, D.C. One day in 1887, a man came in to buy a hat. The man, Robert Peary, asked the owner if he knew anyone with experience at sea. Peary would soon travel to South America for the U.S. government. He needed experienced men to accompany him. The shop owner knew about his young employee's skills and experience on ocean journeys, so he introduced Peary to Henson.
Using his map-reading and sailing skills, Henson proved himself to be a worthy and smart seaman. Peary soon made Henson his assistant(助理), and they became close friends. One day Peary told Henson about his real dream: to be the first man to stand on “the top of the world” at the North Pole. He asked Henson to help him make his dream come true. Over the next five years, the two explorers made two trips together to the Arctic. However, they were not able to reach the pole either time. The cold, wind, and ice were worse than either of them had ever imagined.
In 1908, Peary and Henson were ready to make their final attempt at reaching the North Pole. Both men were over forty years old. The years of hardship in the arctic cold had made them suffer a lot. This would be their last chance. With four Inuit(因纽特)guides, they made a mad rush straight across the ice toward the pole. Peary's feet were injured and he had to be pulled on a dogsled. In April 1909, Henson's instruments showed they were standing at the North Pole. Together Henson and Peary planted the American flag in the snow.
In later years, Robert Peary and Henson were greatly honored for their achievements. Today, the two friends and fellow explorers lie in heroes' graves not far apart in the Arlington National Cemetery.
(1)In paragraph1, the author shows how Henson became ________.
A.a wonderful seaman
B.an educated captain
C.a good shop assistant
D.a successful learner
(2)Paragraph 2 mainly tells us ________.
A.why Matthew Henson went to the hat shop
B.how Matthew Henson met Robert Peary
C.why Matthew Henson stopped working on the Katie Hinds
D.how Robert Peary knew Matthew Henson had sea experience
(3)The following statements are TRUE except ________.
A.Henson proved himself a better seaman than Peary
B.Peary wanted Henson to help him realize his dream
C.Before their final attempt, they made two trips together
D.After they died, they were highly respected by people

【题目】阅读理解
When my students ask me why I live in a tiny house, they ask it in light of all the “sacrifices(牺牲)”I an making. They know that I have moved from a large apartment in the city to a small custom-built home on wheels in the backyard woods. They know I forego running water, Internet connection, sewage(下水道), and reliable phone reception.
However, it was possible for me to be truly happy while living with very few material things. My body responded well, in health, fitness and mood, to a schedule more consistent(一致的)with the natural day and night cycle. Observing the daily sunset, hosting friends for days at a time, reading, writing letters to my families and friends and exploring natural wonders in my spare time all were free and invaluable experiences.
What was necessary to my survival proved to be a rather short list-healthy food, clean and drinkable water, heat source, weather-protecting shelter, weather-suitable clothing, equally important friends and mental and physical stimulations(刺激).
When I returned to life in the US, I couldn't help but sense a deep and uneasy belief that life suddenly changed. I felt disconnected with many things- the earth, others, my food source, my waste disposal, the natural cycle of my body and the productive interests. These are the things I once cared for but now find myself too busy to enjoy. How was it that I was earning literally 40 times my Peace Corps salary and was less healthy, satisfied and intentional in my daily schedule? I found myself asking-what is it to be rich anyway? Therefore, last August I let go of most of my possessions and moved into a tiny house on wheels because I wanted to see if I could live a more enjoyable lifestyle. So far so good. No inconvenience has made up for the many positive benefits that continue to come from this change in lifestyle. I believe that I have made the right decision.
(1)What does the underlined word “forego” in the first paragraph probably mean?
A.Give away.
B.Take along.
C.Care for.
D.Go after.
(2)What interested the author most when living in the tiny house?
A.The natural living schedule.
B.Busy and invaluable experiences.
C.The happiness of the simple life.
D.The very few material possessions.
(3)What did the author feel when he returned to the US?
A.He was behind the times.
B.He wouldn't enjoy the modern life.
C.He was rich enough to enjoy the city life.
D.He was disconnected with the outside world.

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
A girl became a volunteer in the activities of Deathbed Care, which meant visiting and taking care of a patient suffering from an incurable disease with days numbered.
The girl was assigned to look after an old man suffering from cancer whose children lived abroad. Their living conditions were not satisfactory while the old man had a lot of savings. She was expected to comfort him and keep up his spirits.
Every Saturday the girl came on time to keep him company, telling him stories. When he was having an intravenous drip (静脉滴注), she would help massage his arms. The doctor found the patient much improved mentally. The old man began to involve himself actively in the medical treatment and he seldom shouted at others.
But something that happened made the doctor uneasy and puzzled. Each time the girl left, the old man would give her some money. The doctor did nothing to interfere (干涉), unwilling to offend the old man. A month later the old man showed evident signs of decline after suffering coma (昏迷) a few times.
When rescued from the latest coma, the old man told the doctor his last wish, “I have deep sympathy for the girl. Will you be kind enough to help her finish her studies?”
But the doctor knew that her family was welloff and she had no difficulty pursuing her studies. Sometimes she even came to the hospital in her father's car.
When the girl came at the weekend after the death of the old man, the doctor told her the bad news. She was very sad and burst into tears.
