【解析】

试题分析:本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了意大利旅游城市威尼斯的狂欢节。狂欢节在威尼斯有着悠久的历史,一直以来都是这个城市传统的节日,游客对于该节日的着迷程度有增无减。

【1】a 考查冠词。依据句意可知,此处表示“威尼斯----一个意大利东北部的水边城市”,是威尼斯的同位语,对其进行描述,因此除用不定冠词a,表达“一个”的含义。

【2】parties 句意:对大多数人来说,狂欢节意味着大型舞会和宴会.所以此处用名词复数形式,故填parties。

【3】originally 考查副词。此处修饰过去分词meant,需用副词形式,故填originally。

【4】as 考查介词。依据句意可知,直到今天,威尼斯人仍以最奇怪的方式打扮自己——比如他们就象武装好的士兵、屠夫和渔夫等。dress up---as---打扮成,是固定搭配,故填as。

【5】who/that 考查定语从句的关系代词。从句中缺少主语,且先行词是party-goers,指人,故填who/that。

【6】are made 考查时态、语态。句意为:他们的设计和发明都是由特殊的工作室完成的,make与主语间是动宾关系,因此用被动语态,再依据文章是一篇说明文,所以用一般现在时态,故填are made。

【7】to meet 句意:狂欢节前一个月我们得加班才能满足要求。此处是动词不定式表示目的状语,故填to meet。

【8】best 句意:狂欢节是一年中最好的时候.根据句意可知用最高级,故填best。

【9】dates 句意:威尼斯的狂欢节要追溯到中世纪。固定搭配:date back to追溯到---,根据句意可知用一般现在时态,单数第三人称,故填dates。

【10】one 考查代词。依据句意:威尼斯是当时欧洲最富裕的城市之一,one of---,表示“---之一”,故填one。

Pearls of wisdom in Proverbs

Out of sight, out of mind. An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.1. Each of the phrases mentioned above teachers a common truth. But what exactly is a proverb? It’s a short statement that contains a general truth. It is popularly known and often repeated.

Every culture has proverbs.2. For example, many cultures value old people for their wisdom and experience. This idea can be found in proverbs. A Chinese proverb says, “An old horse will never get lost.” And a Portuguese proverb states, “An old pan is the one that makes good food.”3. The English say, “Good and quickly seldom meet.” The Chinese say, “Think three times before you act.” A Russian proverb exclaims, “Take your thoughts to bed with you, for the morning is wiser.”

There is a saying: To truly know a people, learn their proverbs. Proverbs contain a culture’s values and morals.4. People in Saudi Arabia value books and learning. One of their proverbs says, “A book is a garden carried in the pocket.” The French say. “There is no pillow so soft as a clear conscience.” So that culture thinks that being honest is important. Egyptians know that value of friendship. One of their proverbs says, “Friendship doubles joy and halves grief.”

In Africa, many proverbs also use images familiar to Africans. For example, “The best way to cat an elephant in your path is cut him up into little pieces.”5Or “A roaring lion kills no game.” This means that one cannot achieve anything by sitting around and talking about it. One must get out and strive for it.

Learning proverbs in another language is fun. You can make a good impression with your language ability. But remember, proverbs are usually used in spoken language. They are rarely used in writing. If you use a lot of proverbs when you write, people will think you don’t have original thoughts

AWhat is your favorite proverb?

BHave your heard any of these proverbs before?

CMany culture also agree that acting in a hurry is not a good idea.

DAnd while some are special for one culture, there are common themes.

E. In other words, the best way to solve a problem is to work on it bit by bit.

F. There are also proverbs such as “get your ducks in a row.”

G. So you can learn what is valued in different cultures through their proverbs.

【题目】We can achieve knowledge either actively or passively(被动地). We achieve it actively by direct experience, by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning.

We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else. Most of the learning that takes place in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is passive. Conditioned as we are to passive learning, it’s not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday communication with friends and co-workers.

Unfortunately, passive learning has a serious problem. It makes us tend to accept what we are told even when it is little more than hearsay and rumor(谣言).

Did you ever play the game Rumor? It begins when one person writes down a message but doesn’t show it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. That person, in turn, whispers it to still another, and so on, through all the people playing the game. The last person writes down the message word for word as he or she hears it. Then the two written statements are compared. Typically, the original message has changed.

That’s what happens in daily life. The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words changes the story. Then, too, most people listen imperfectly. And many enjoy adding their own creative touch to a story, trying to improve on it, stamping(打上标记)it with their own personal style. Yet those who hear it think they know.

This process is also found among scholars and authors: A statement of opinion by one writer may be re-stated as fact by another, who may in turn be quoted by yet another; and this process may continue, unless it occurs to someone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to challenge the interpretation he placed upon those facts.

【1】According to the passage, passive learning may occur in _______.

A. doing a medical experiment

B. solving a math problem

C. visiting an exhibition

D. doing scientific reasoning

【2】The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to _____.

A. active learning B. knowledge

C. communication D. passive learning

【3What can we infer from the passage?

A. Active learning is less important.

B. Passive learning may not be reliable.

C. Active learning occurs more frequently.

D. Passive learning is not found among scholars.

【题目】根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Many people talk about how reading books can expand your knowledge and improve your life. __【1】__ Reading books is indeed good. But there is one aspect of it that many people tend to forget: the value of rereading books.

In fact, I’d argue that rereading books is just as important as reading new ones.Here are some reasons why rereading books is good:

1. __【2】__

Research shows that in just 24 hours people would forget most of what they’ve read. You might get a lot of good ideas from a book, but it’s easy to forget most of them. Rereading a book helps you refresh those ideas in your mind.

2. _【3】__

Just as it’s easy to forget ideas, it’s also easy to have some ideas skip your attention when you first read a book. Rereading the book helps you notice them.

3. It gives you a new perspective.

__【4】__ The ideas that didn’t make sense before could now make sense. The things that didn’t matter before could now be connected to your experience.

4. It helps you apply the ideas.

In my opinion, the primary value of reading is the application and not the reading itself. Reading alone could expand your knowledge but application could change your life. By rereading a book, you can see which parts of it you have applied and which parts haven’t. __【5】_

A. It helps you refresh yourself.

B. It reminds you of the good ideas.

C. There’s nothing wrong with that, of course.

D. Rereading a book allows you to see it with fresh eyes.

E. It helps you notice the ideas that you didn’t notice before.

F. You can then focus your effort on the parts that need more work.

G. Later, when you’ve applied them, you can find reading all kinds of materials really works.
