A. absorbed B. being absorbed

C. having absorbed D. to be absorbed

【答案】A

【解析】考查固定搭配。句中的The retired professor是主语，而hasn’t realized是谓语动词，所以横线处所在的句子要用非谓语形式，根据固定搭配be absorbed in…“专心于……，全神贯注于……”，逻辑主语是前面的主语，故省略了主语和be，故选A。句意：那位在过去三年里全神贯注于新书的退休教授还没有意识到自己健康方面的下降。

【题目】Some people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own. My mom was one of those people.

My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen. While I was growing up, we lived a very hard life. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life, “Kemmons, you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it.”

At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again. Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk again if I wanted to badly enough. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I returned to school — walking on my own!

When the Great Depression (大萧条) hit, my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support the both of us. At that moment, I was determined never to be poor again.

Over the years, I experienced various levels of business success. But the real turning point occurred on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was angry that they charged an extra $2 for each child. That was too expensive for the average American family. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel (汽车旅馆) for families that would never charge extra for children. There were plenty of doubters at that time.

Not surprisingly, mom was one of my strongest supporters. She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style. As in any business, we experienced a lot of challenges. But with my mother’s words deeply rooted in my soul, I never doubted we would succeed. Fifteen years later, we had the largest hotel system in the world — Holiday Inn. In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $ 1 billion a year.

You may not have started out life in the best situation. But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you.

【1】What Kemmons’ mom often told him during his childhood was ______.

A. caring B. moving

C. encouraging D. interesting

【2】According to the author, who played the most important role in making him walk back to school again?

A. Doctors. B. Nurses.

【3】What caused Kemmons to start a motel by himself?

【题目】阅读下列短文，选出最佳选项。

There is a large percentage of Asian people in the US. They’re hard working, respectful but strange sometimes. If you don’t understand the culture, you will get some problems with them. Asian people are different from any other cultures if you think you know them, you might want to think again.

How are they different? When it comes to most Asian culture, respect is everything. You can do anything you want but don't disrespect an Asian man. You will get some real consequences afterward and especially if he is your boss. It’s something called face saving in the Asian culture. It’s ridiculous sometimes but it’s their culture. Sometimes their culture can come in between their relationship at work. Asian people might expect a lot of respect from their co-workers when their co-workers just see them as an equal.

Americans are very different from Asian people. If you’re Asian, you might want to understand the American culture and even adapt to their culture if you work with them. It will be easier for you since you’re in their countries. Imagine an American working in China, expecting Chinese co-workers to get along with him when he criticizes them straight out on every single matter in front of everyone. I think they will take him outside and take care of him. It just doesn’t work that way with Asian people.

If you’re an American boss giving your Asian employee a review, you will see that they will have a problem with your negative remarks. They will think that you don’t like them, disrespectful, and want to get rid of them; when in fact, you’re just doing your job. You just encourage them to do their work better. Of course, it’s not fair for you as an American boss but just expect that it can be something that is on your Asian employee’s mind.

【1】The Americans can’t get along well with the Asians probably because______.

A. their cultures are different.

B. they don’t like each other.

C. both of them are too proud.

D. they have different political views.

【2】The underlined phrase “face saving” in Paragraph 2 probably means_____.

A. saving some money for later use.

B. making faces to please your boss.

C. showing some respect to somebody.

D. helping somebody out of trouble.

【3】From the third paragraph we can know that it is difficult_________.

A. for the Asians to accept the culture in America.

B. for the Americans to adapt to the culture in China.

C. for people to learn the culture in a foreign country.

D. for people to follow the culture in their own country.

【4】The negative remarks an American boss gives on your work probably mean he/she _____

A. doesn’t like you any longer.

B. thinks you are not worth respecting.

C. doesn’t think you are suitable for the job.

D. wants you to improve your work.

News reports warn us that the smog is expected to stay with us for a couple of months. Air quality is 10 times worse than the World Health Organization’s recommended levels. You may think that there is nothing you can do about the air you breathe【1】

Wear an N95 mask.

Surgical masks won’t do, my friends. You need a proper N95 mask. 【2】The purpose is to filter out the little particles (颗粒) in the air that can be very unhealthy if breathed in. It’s not attractive, but your health is more important than looking attractive.

Drink lots of water and stay hydrated.

Hot temperature and high humidity are often connected with high smog levels. This makes it important to stay in the shade and drink lots of water to stay hydrated, especially before, during, and after exercise. 【3】

Stay indoors.

If possible, stay indoors. While you might want to visit your favourite open-air hawker stall (小贩摊档), now it’s not the time to do so. 【4】 Better still, for those at work, pack your own lunch. What’s more important, avoid exercise outdoors, especially from mid-morning to early evening, when smog levels are higher.

【5】.

Often neighbors or family members smoke in the hallways or just outside of apartment buildings, which makes the air much worse. And this air still comes into the apartments. So, keep the windows closed and use air purifiers to protect your home.

When your city’s smog gets bad, now you have the tips to keep on trucking. Best of luck.

A. Protect your home.

B. Keep the doors open.

C. If you want to go out, go to malls, and eat in enclosed spaces.

D. Consider exercising indoors in a smoke-free, air-conditioned environment.

Dear Ken,

I am very exciting to learn that you’re coming to Beijing for the Olympics. Both my parent miss you a lot. So do our friend, Cathy. August is the best time of the year to visit Beijing, because of there is only a few rain and the weather is neither too hot or too cold. There are so many places I want to take you after I finish my work like a volunteer. When you come, you can stay with ourselves. My home is about three kilometers away from the National Stadium, knowing as the “Bird’s Nest”, where opening ceremony will be held.

Best regards,

【题目】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

Henry Ford, the famous U.S. inventor and car manufacturer, once said, “The business of America is business.” By this he meant that the U.S. way of life is based on the values of the business world.

Few would argue with Ford’s statement. A brief glimpse at a daily newspaper vividly shows how much people in the United States think about business. For example, nearly every newspaper has a business section, in which the deals and projects, finances and management, stock prices and labor problems of corporations are reported daily. In addition, business news can appear in every other section. Most national news has an important financial aspect to it. Welfare, foreign aid, the federal budget, and the policies of the Federal Reserve Bank are all heavily affected by business. Moreover, business news appears in some of the unlikeliest places. The world of arts and entertainment is often referred to as“the entertainment industry”or“show business.”

The positive side of Henry Ford’s statement can be seen in the prosperity that business has brought to U.S. life. One of the most important reasons so many people from all over the world come to live in the United States is the dream of a better job. Jobs are produced in abundance because the U.S. economic system is driven by competition. People believe that this system creates more wealth, more jobs, and a materially better way of life.

The negative side of Henry Ford’s statement, however, can be seen when the word business is taken to mean big business. And the term big business—referring to the biggest companies, is seen in opposition to labor. Throughout U.S. history working people have had to fight hard for higher wages, better working conditions, and the fight to form unions. Today, many of the old labor disputes are over, but there is still some employee anxiety. Downsizing—the laying off of thousands of workers to keep expenses low and profits high—creates feelings of insecurity for many.

【1】The United States is a typical country ________.

A. which encourages free trade at home and abroad

B. where people’s chief concern is how to make money

C. where all businesses are managed scientifically

D. which normally works according to the federal budget

【2】The influence of business in the U.S. is evidenced by the fact that ________.

A. most newspapers are run by big businesses

B. even public organizations concentrate on working for profits

C. Americans of all professions know how to do business

D. even arts and entertainment are regarded as business

【3】Henry Ford’s statement can be taken negatively because ________.

A. working people are discouraged to fight for their fights

B. there are many industries controlled by a few big capitalists

C. there is a conflicting relationship between big corporations and labor

D. public services are not run by the federal government

【4】A company’s efforts to keep expenses low and profits high may result in ________.

A. reduction in the number of employees

B. improvement of working conditions

C. fewer disputes between labor and management

D. a rise in workers’ wages

【题目】The word “Dutch” originally referred to Germans, and even today, the word "Deutschland" means Germany. 【1】 The country, which is on the coast of the North Sea between Germany and Belgium is also known as Holland.

There are many English expressions that include the word“Dutch.”【2】 For example, "Dutch courage" means false courage or bravery gotten by drinking alcohol. A "Dutch uncle" is a person who gives unwanted advice. A "Dutch concert" is just a lot of noise and no music. A "Dutch defense" means surrender（投降），although the Dutch never surrendered an inch of their homeland without a heroic fight.

In these phrases the English imply that the Dutch are cheap and not brave enough. 【3】 When most people think of Holland, they imagine huge fields of tulips（郁金香），tall windmills（风车）and children wearing wooden shoes一pleasant and positive things. So why did the English take such a contrary view of Holland?

【4】 But as the two countries became interested in the East Indies; they competed to control sea routes leading to the East indies and the valuable goods found there. The Dutch and the English fought three wars at sea between 1652 and 1674. In 1667. when the Dutch bravely blocked off the Thames River near London, England, the English were angry!【5】 Today relations between the two countries are quite friendly; but the old phrases remain.

A. Most of them have negative meanings.

B . It was during this time that the unfair war of words began.

C. Dutch is one of the closest relatives of both German and English.

D. Take advantage of any Dutch language center as you learn to speak Dutch.

E. Yet the rest of the world views Holland and the Dutch people much differently.

F. Before the 17th century, the Dutch were respected in English writing and language.

G.But in present-day English,“Dutch”refers to people and things coming from the Netherlands.
