One night, I was on my home for my Christmas holiday when my car broke down. It was complete dead, and I was a few miles away from my home in that cold, wet night. I decided to walk around a little after accepting that I’d have to spend the night in the car. Maybe I can find a telephone. Actually, I didn’t have to walk far before I found the small house standing in a field with a light shone from the sitting room. I knocked the door was delighted when a pleasant old man opened the door and listened to my story carefully. He said he had no telephone and that it wasn’t any within walking distance, but the old man who offered to go to repair my car.

【5】the改为a

【6】shone改为shining

【7】knocked后加at/ on

【8】was前加and

【9】it改为there

【10】who删掉

【解析】

试题分析:此类题型要求考查考生综合能力,包括句子理解、语法、时态等重点知识,难度偏难。

【1】complete改为completely,dead为形容词,意为“死气沉沉的;无生命的”,副词用来修饰形容词,故改为completely.

【2】in改为on. 考查介词的用法。at, in, on均可以表示时间,但又有区别。at表示时间的一点、时刻等,eg:at 9 o’clock ; at midnight. in表时间时,某个较长的时间(如年、月、季节以及泛指的上午、下午等)内,eg:in 2015 ; in the morning. 在一段时间之后,意为“在……以后”。eg: I will arrived in three hours. on表时间指,具体的时日和一个特定的时间,如某日、星期几等。eg: on Monday ; on January 19th . 表示在某个特定的早晨、下午或晚上。eg: He will arrive at 9 o’clock on the night of the fifth. 本题指出在那个特定的“湿冷的晚上”,故介词应用on.

【3】after改为before. 此题考查考生对句子的理解。句意:在接受在车内睡一晚上的事实前,我决定四处看看。从后文可知,“我”四处看看也许可以找到电话,说明作者并未接受在车子里过一夜的事实,而还保留希望,故应为before.

【4】can改为could. 全文时态为一般过去式,故此处can 要改为could.

【5】the改为a. 考查冠词的用法。特指用定冠词the,泛指用不定冠词a/an. 此题中“我”发现的那个小屋,上文中并未提及,可知此处为泛指,故改为a.

【6】shone改为shining. 此处考查复合结构“with+宾语+宾语补足语”,它在句中主要用作状语,表示伴随、原因、时间、条件、方式等;其中的宾语补足语可以是名词、形容词、副词、现在分词、过去分词、不定式、介词短语等。此处为with+宾语+过去分词/现在分词。当宾补为过去分词时,一般表完成或被动;当宾补为现在分词时,一般表进行或主动,此处光线照射应为主动,故为shining.

【7】knocked后加at/ on. 考查knock的用法。knock at/on为固定搭配,意为“敲,击,打”,eg: He knocked at the door and entered. 他敲了敲门便走了进去。

【8】was前加and. I knocked the door was delighted…”此句有两个动词,故需要添加一个连词来连接两个完整的句子。由句意可知,两个句子的主语均为“I”,故添加“and”连接两个并列动词,则符合语法规则。

【9】it改为there. 考查there be句型。句意:在可以走到的范围内,没有一个电话。

【10】who删掉.“…but the old man who offered to go to repair my car.”but引导的分句中,只有一个动词,不需要定语从句,故去掉who,则是一个完整的句子。

【题目】When we found him, he was a sorry sight. His clothes were torn, his hands bleeding. Before we reached him, we saw him fall. He lay a moment. Then he pulled himself to his feet, walked unsteadily a few yards through the woods and fell again. After we got him out, we went back to find the gun that he had thrown down. His tracks showed that for two days he had circled in the forest, within 200 yards of the road. His senses were so dulled by fear and tiredness that he did not hear the cars going by or see the lights at night. We found him just in time.

This man, like others before him, had simply been frightened when he knew he was lost. What had been a near disaster might have turned out as only a pleasant walk, if he had made a few preparations before he stepped from the highway or off a known path.

Whatever sense of direction that a man may have, it’s still largely a question of observation. A skilled woodsman always keeps an eye on his surroundings. He notes the shape of a mountain, the direction water flows through a swamp, and the way a tree leans across a path. With these in mind, he is still likely to turn around many times, but he is seldom lost.

There are exceptions, of course, and once in a while a man does come across some strange problem that puts him into the “lost” situation. A rainstorm may catch him without a compass in /span>his pocket. Darkness may find him in a rough area, where travel is dangerous without a light.

When this happens, the normal first reaction is the fear of being laughed at as a result of his poor knowledge in the woods. He may also be concerned about the inconvenience that he will cause his friends when he doesn’t show up. This false pride may lead him to keep on the move in a false effort to find his way against all difficulties.

The person who thinks ahead is seldom in great danger. He’ll be safe if he observes carefully, thinks ahead, and remains calm.

【1The writer suggested that if the man had not been found, ______.

A. he would have been shot by a gun

B. he would have become confused

C. he would have been attacked by wild animals

D. he would have been in great danger

【2According to the text, if a person gets lost in the forest, at the very beginning,___.

A. he will worry about being laughed at

B. he will push himself to find his way out

C. he will feel sorry that he didn’t prepare well enough

D. he will feel it is convenient to ask for help from his friends

【3What is the most important when a person tries to find his way in the woods?

A. Intelligence. B. Observation.

C. Direction. D. Chance.

【4The writer tells the story of the lost man as an example of people who ______.

A. go into the woods by themselves

B. keep their head when they are in trouble

C. are frightened when they think they are lost

D. don’t know how to signal for help properly

【5What is probably the best title for the passage?

A. A Man Lost in the Woods

B. Timely Rescue in the Woods

C. Don’t Panic When Lost in the Woods

D. A Pathfinder in the Woods

【题目】Your teen is falling asleep in class

Teens have a busy morning schedule as they need to wake up and get moving very early in order to catch a bus and get to school by the required time. This means teens need to get their rest the night before or they will be too tired to learn anything at school. 1

When a teen falls asleep in class, two things happen: he/she misses what is being taught and he/she loses the respect of the teacher. He/She may also receive a consequence from the school, depending on the classroom discipline policy. 2

To prevent your teen from being sleepy in class, try these three tips:

* Set a time for “lights out” on school nights. This is never be any later than 10 p. m. and preferably 9 p.m. 3 Soft music can be on and used to help calm your teen.

* Help your teen develop a nighttime routine that involves activities that slow them down for the end of the day. 4 Turning off the computer and disconnecting from friends and the excitement of the day an hour before bedtime will also help your teen relax.

* 5 This will reinforce (增强)what it feels like to be rested and capable of accomplishing what he/she wants.

A. What’s worse, they may even fall asleep in class.

B. Taking a bath and reading are two activities that work well.

C. Set a good example and show him/her your love for learning.

D. Point out the positives after your teen has had a good night’s rest.

E. All of these things affect your teen’s academic success and can be avoided.

F. “Lights out” means the computer, television, lights and cell phone should be off.

G. While your teen keeps his/her goals in line with your expectations, he/she may have his/her own goals.

【题目】EDINBURGH, Scotland (AP) they arrived before polling stations even opened, dressed for the school day in striped ties and blazers, dress slacks and tartan skirts, book bags over their shoulders and, for the first time in British history, ballot (选票) cards in hands on September 18.

Scotland’s experiment of allowing more than 109,000 Scottish teenagers aged 16 to 17 took part in the Scottish independence referendum (公民投票), in which Scotland finally decided not to become independent.

The age group only made up a small part of the 4.29 million total voters, but they have “demonstrated how the youngest voters can be some of the most enthusiastic in a mature democracy”, commented The Associated Press. Casting their ballots, they were “proud and passionate” to help their nation decide whether to break away from the UK after 307 years in union.

At age 16, Scottish residents are allowed to join the military, get married, and work. Eighteen is the legal drinking age, as well as the UK’s voting age. But in 2013, Scottish law was changed to allow 16- and 17-year-olds in Scotland to vote in the referendum. The government pushed for the change because “younger voters are more likely to vote with their hearts, not their heads—and embrace fundamental change by voting for the pro-independence Yes Scotland campaign”, NBC News said.

But when the decision was handed down, some worried that high school students might not be as informed as adult voters. However, many experts said that assumption was wrong.

Professor Jan Eichhorn of the University of Edinburgh insisted that Scottish teenagers were as likely to read newspaper articles and campaign materials as their parents. They would simply get these resources through social media.

“There’s no evidence to suggest that they’re less capable than adults of voting, from a research point of view,” Eichhorn told NPR.

Scotland’s move to let younger teenagers vote in the referendum has led to a discussion about whether the voting age ought to be lowered to 16, both in the UK and the US.

“By 16, most people have about as stable an ideology (思想意识) as they are going to get,” Professor Jason Brennan of Georgetown University wrote for CNN, arguing that the US should also think about allowing younger US citizens to vote.

【1The Scottish independence referendum was held on Sept. 18 ______.

A. to encourage youngsters to be concerned with politics

B. to lower the minimum voting age to 16 for the referendum

C. to decide whether Scotland would become independent from the UK

D. to elect who would be the new leader of Scotland

【2According to the passage, we can learn ______.

A. Scotland gained its independence from the UK eventually.

B. It is possible for the USA to lower the voting age to 16 in the future.

C. All the people in Scotland thought highly of the government’s decision to lower the voting age to 16.

D. Scottish teenagers aged 16 are allowed to join the military, get married, work and drink alcohol now.

【3What does the underlined word “embrace” (in para.4) probably mean?

A. Admit toB. Object to

C. Know aboutD. Approve of

【4What is Jan Eichhorn’s opinion of the Scottish teenagers aged 16 to 17?

A. They are as informed and capable as adults of voting.

B. They make no difference to the voting result.

C. They are too enthusiastic to make informed decisions.

D. They are unwilling to be involved in the decision of the country’s future.
