【3】to speak

【4】funny

【5】had happened

【6】because/for

【7】directly

【8】owners

【9】were filled

【10】a

【解析】

【1】mine 考查固定短语。friends of mine意为:我的朋友。

【2】should 考查固定句型。suggest意为:建议。后面加宾语从句时,从句中的谓语动词需要使用虚拟语气,形式是:should+do,其中should可以省略。

【3】to speak考查固定搭配。the chance to do sth.意为:做某事的机会。to do这里是定语,修饰前面的名词the chance。

【4】funny考查形容词。根据句子的语法结构,可知我们这里需要一个形容词来修饰名词stories。

【5】had happened考查动词时态。根据句子的语法结构我们可以知道,我们填的是宾语从句中的谓语动词,主句的谓语动词understood已经是一般过去时了,happen这个动作发生在它之前,所以应该使用过去完成时态。

【6】because/for 考查连词;根据这两句话之间的逻辑关系我们可知,后面的句子是用来说明前一句话的原因的。他之所以认为vacancies是holidays的意思是因为,在西班牙语中,表达holidays含义的词就是vacancies。

【7】directly 考查副词。根据句子的语法结构,可知这里应该使用副词来修饰动词go

【8】owners考查名词。根据句子的语法结构以及句意我们可以知道,这里需要的是表示“主人”含义的名词。

【9】were filled考查谓语动词 。根据句子的语法结构我们知道,这里需要使用提示词的适当形式来做句子的谓语动词。结合文章的时态,以及该句的句意可知此处应该使用该词的一般过去式的被动语态,即were filled 形式。

【10】a 考查固定搭配。as a result意为:结果。

考点 :语法填空。

My friend Li Hua used to be rather poor in English, especially his terrible and strange pronunciation. Hardly could he make him understood when speaking English. Bearing a heavy load in mind, he felt desperate and upset. He dared not speak English at class. When asking questions, he was always nervous and embarrassed. The classmates always make fun of him, saying that he was speaking Japanese! Once I met him in the corridor. I told him that his pronunciation was very special and a kind of like Obama’s. Believing what I said, he got greatly inspired. He spared no effort to practice speak English every day. Now, he can speak English fluent with a perfect accent.

Recently, he told me that it wasn’t long after he knew that I just told a little white lie then but he appreciated badly, without which, he said, he couldn’t have achieved such great progresses.

【题目】As with any house guests, indoor plants require a certain amount of basic, regular attention if they are going to feel at home. The first consideration when purchasing plants is to make reasonably sure that they are suitable for the condition in which they are going to be housed.

A general rule for most plants being brought indoors for the first time is to ensure that they have reasonable temperature of not less than 60 degrees Fahrenheit, a position out of cold air, safe from pets and not exposed to strong sunlight.

Plants love company. When plants are growing together, they create an atmosphere of damp around themselves which is far more beneficial than hot dry conditions. A group of plants will also present a more pleasing picture and provide an opportunity for a creative arrangement. There is no secret to this. Just rely on your natural feeling for harmony.

Watering and feeding plants are probably the two areas of care that are the least well understood, but, again, if you follow a few simple rules, your plants should do well. Cold slightly warm water is therefore the answer. It is usually better to pour water on to the soil on the surface of the pot rather than put the water into the pot holder at the bottom. Avoid giving small amount of water at regular intervals- it is much better to wet the soil right through the pot in one go and then to allow it to dry noticeably before giving it a further watering.

The majority of indoor plants will be in active growth from March until October, and during this time, the established ones will benefit from regular feeding. This may mean feeding with a weak liquid fertilizer(肥料) at each watering or at intervals of a week or ten days with fertilizer at a standard strength. It is important, however, to ensure that plants are not fed when growth is inactive, when the soil in the pot is dry, or too soon after the plants has been potted up.

【1】In Paragraph 2, the author mainly tells us to___________.

A. buy plants that help clean indoor air

B. create a new environment with plants

C. put plants on the sunny side of the room

D. make sure of suitable conditions for plants

【2】What’s the benefit of plants growing together?

A. It provides owners good company.

B. It makes it convenient to look after them.

C. It helps the air around them slightly wet.

D. It allows owners to draw a pleasant picture.

【3】While watering the plants, what should we remember to do?

A. Use water that is a little warm.

B. Pour the water into the pot holder.

C. Give small amount of water at one time.

D. Consider further watering in wet weather.

【4】What is the best time to feed the plants?

A. When the soil is dry.

B. When the temperature is high.

C. When their growth is active.

D. When they have just been planted.

【题目】Whether we’re 2 years old or 62, our reasons for lying are mostly the same: to get out of trouble, for personal gain and to make ourselves look better in the eyes of others. But a growing body of research is raising questions about how a child’s lie is different from an adult’s lie, and how the way we deceive changes as we grow.

“Parents and teachers who catch their children lying should not be alarmed. Their children are not going to turn out to be abnormal liars,” says Dr. Lee, a director of the Institute of Child Study. The fact that children tell lies is a sign that they have reached a new developmental stage. Dr. Lee conducted a series of studies in which they bring children into a lab with hidden cameras. Children and young adults aged 2 to 17 are likely to lie while being told not to look at a toy, which is put behind the child’s back.

For young kids, the desire to cheat is big and 90% take a secret look in these experiments. When the test-giver returns to the room, the child is asked if he or she looked secretly. At age 2, about a quarter of children will lie and say they didn’t. By 3, half of kids will lie, and by 4, that figure is 90%, studies show.

Researchers have found that it’s kids with better understanding abilities who lie more. That’s because to lie you also have to keep the truth in mind, which includes many brain processes, such as combining several sources of information and faking that information. The ability to lie and lie successfully is thought to be related to development of brain regions that allow so called “executive functioning”, or higher order thinking and reasoning abilities. Kids who perform better on tests that involve executive functioning also lie more.

【1】 What’s the purpose of children telling lies?

A. To help their friends out.

B. To get rid of trouble.

C. To get attention from others.

D. To create a popular image.

【2】 From the second paragraph we can know that ____________.

A. which factors can reduce lying

B. why some lie more than others

C. it is normal for kids to tell lies

D. how lying changes as kids grow

【3】It can be inferred from the passage that ________________.

A. children’s lies are the same as adults’

B. the better kids are, the more they lie

C. the older kids are, the more they lie

D. kids always keep the truth in their mind

【4】What is NOT included in the passage?

A. The reasons why kids tell lies.

B. Which kind of kids tells more lies.

C. Experiments about lying of young kids.

D. What to do with lying children.

Trust has been considered as the basis of any relationship, including friendship. No relationship can last long with a lack of trust. Not many of your friends will have real faith in you as you would like to believe. 【1】_________ Sometimes, it takes years, even a complete lifetime, to trust someone. However, how do we know if our friends have faith in us?

2_______With whom will you share things that you don’t want everyone to know? It would be with a close friend, whom you trust as much as you trust yourself.
