试题分析:如何减轻学生的作业负担可真是个麻烦事。人家外国人也碰上了这个问题。看看外国人又是怎么处理的?
1.1】此处plan 是动词,副词修饰动词,proper是形容词,所以要用它的副词形式properly。句意:多数的老师没有合适地安排作业任务。
2.2】根据句意结果是学生们不得不重复他们在学校已经做过的任务。用现在完成时态,故填have done。
3.3】习惯用语a waste of time 浪费时间。故填a 。句意:父母说多数的作业是浪费时间。
4.4】这是一个定语从句的考查,two countries 作先行词,后面是定语从句,从句没有引导词,却主语,故填which /that。句意:西班牙和土耳其是两个停止作业的国家。
5.5】several other 后面跟名词的复数形式,所以此处用country 的复数形式countries。几个其他的国家。
6.6】固定搭配allow sb. to do sth.允许某人做某事,故填to stay。
7.7】“相似的安排”,形容词修饰名词,arrange是动词,所以用它的形容词形式arrangement。
8.8】根据后面的than可知此处用比较级,故填good的比较级better。
9.9】“吵闹的房间”,形容词修饰名词,noise 的形容词是noisy,所以填noisy。
10.10】固定搭配take no interest in对---不感兴趣,故此处填in。
考点:考查社会现象类阅读。
As a boy, Sanders was much influenced(影响) by books about the sea, but by the age of fifteen he had decided to become a doctor rather than a sailor. His father was a doctor. So he was often with the doctors and got along very well with them. When he was fourteen, he was already hanging around the hospital where he was supposed to be helping to clean the medicine bottles, but was actually trying to listen to the doctors’ conversations with patients in the next room.
During the war Sanders served in the army as a surgeon(外科医生). “That was the happiest time of my life. I was dealing with real sufferers and on the whole making a success of my job.” In Rhodes he taught the country people simple facts about medicine. He saw himself as a life-saver. He had proved his skill to himself and had a firm belief that he could serve those who lived simply, and were dependent upon him. Thus, while in a position to tell them what to do he could feel he was serving them.
After the war, he married and set up a practice deep in the English countryside, working under an old doctor who hated the sight of blood. This gave the younger man plenty of opportunity(机会) to go on working as a life-saver.
