Dear Abbly,

How are you? Today I’ve got a wonderful news to tell you. I have offered a scholarship at a university in Australia for my further education. One hundred and twenty students take exams for it, but only a few was chosen and I was one of them. Therefore, my parents are not happy about it. They are strong against me. They say it is too far away that they will not see me for a whole year and they are afraid that I will feel lonely. They can’t imagine a girl so young living alone. They advise me to studying in the capital instead. Then I’ll be able to continue living with him. How can I persuade them to accept the fact what I have grown up?

Best wishes,

Jane

【答案】

【1】a去掉

【2】加入been

【3】take改为took

【4】was改为were

【5】Therefore改为However

【6】strong改为strongly

【7】too改为so

【8】studying改为study

【9】him改为them

【10】what改为that

【解析】

试题分析:

【1】a去掉 本句中的名词news是一个不可数名词,不能用a修饰。

【2】加入been 本句是被动语态,澳大利亚的一所大学向我提供一份奖学金。对于我来说,是被提供奖学金。

【3】take改为took 句意:120名学生参加了开始,只有一小部分人被选中,我是其中之一。学生们参加奖学金考试是过去发生的事情,所以使用一般过去时的时态。

【4】was改为were 本句的主语是a few,谓语动词应该使用复数形式were。

【5】Therefore改为However 我获得了奖学金,但是我的父母亲很不高兴。上下文之间是转折关系,所以使用however。

【6】strong改为strongly 本句使用副词strongly在句中做状语修饰谓语部分。句意:他们强烈反对我们。

【7】too改为so 本句是固定句式so…that…如此…以至于…;他们说那个学校太远了以至于他们一整年看不到我,并且他们担心我会感觉孤单。

【8】studying改为study 固定结构advise sb to do sth建议某人做某事;他们建议我在首都学习。

【9】him改为them 本句中使用them代替parents。Him只能指代单数。

【10】what改为that 本句是一个同位语从句,对前面的名称the fact的内容进行解释说明,that在句中不充当任何成分,只起引导连接的作用。

【题目】I was born in Tuckahoe,Talbot Country,Maryland. I have no accurate(准确的)knowledge of my age,never having seen any record containing it. By far the larger part of the slaves know as little of their ages as horses know of theirs,and it is the wish of most masters within my knowledge to keep their slaves thus ignorant(不知情的).I do not remember having ever met a slave who could tell of his birthday. They seldom come nearer to it than plantingtime,harvesting,springtime,or falltime. A lack of information concerning my own was a source of unhappiness to me even during childhood. The white children could tell their ages,but I could not tell. Why the same right ought to be taken away from me!I was not allowed to ask my master about it. He considered all such questions on the part of a slave improper and impolite. The nearest estimate(估计)I can live makes me now between twentyseven and twentyeight years of age. I come to this,from hearing my master say,some time during 1835,I was about seventeen years old. My mother was named Harriet Bailey. She was the daughter of Isaac and Betsey Bailey,both colored,and quite dark.

My father was a white man. The opinion was also whispered that my master was my father;but of the correctness of this opinion,I know nothing and I have no means to know. My mother and I were separated when I was but an infant—before I knew her as my mother. It is a common custom,in the part of Maryland from which I ran away,to part children from their mothers/span> at a very early age. Frequently,before the child has reached its twelfth month,its mother is taken from it,and hired out on some farm a considerable distance off,and the child is placed under the care of an older woman,too old for field labor.

【1】It can be learned from the text that________.

A.the slaves forgot the exact time when they were born

B.the writer didn't know whether his master was his father

C.the writer was about twentyseven years old in 1835

D.the writer's mother left him as soon as he was born

【2】The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refers to________.

A.their birthday B.my age

C.a record D.Maryland

【3】The author was most probably raised________.

A.by his grandparents

B.by an old woman slave

C.with his master's support

In Greek mythology, the Trojan(特洛伊) War was started against the city of Troy by the Greeks after Paris of Troy took Helen from her husband Menelaus, king of Sparta. The war is one of the most important events in Greek mythology and has appeared in many works of Greek literature, most notably through Homers(荷马) Iliad. The Iliad relates a part of the last year of the siege(包围) of Troy; the Odyssey describes the journey home of Odysseus, one of the war’s heroes. Other parts of the war are described in a cycle of epic poems(史诗), which have survived through fragments. The war provided material for Greek tragedy and other works of Greek literature, and for Roman poets including Virgil and Ovid.

The war originated from a quarrel between the goddesses Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite, after Eris, the goddess of strife and discord(不和谐), gave them a golden apple marked “for the fairest”. Zeus sent the goddesses to Paris, who judged that Aphrodite, as the “fairest”, should receive the apple. In exchange, Aphrodite made Helen, the most beautiful of all women and wife of Menelaus, fall in love with Paris, who took her to Troy. Agamemnon, king of Mycenae and the brother of Helen’s husband Menelaus, led an expedition of Greek troops to Troy and besieged the city for ten years because of Paris’ insult. After the deaths of many heroes the city fell to the ruse(策略) of the Trojan Horse. The Greeks slaughtered(大屠杀) the Trojans and desecrated(亵渎) the temples, thus earning the gods’ great anger. Few of the Greeks returned safely to their homes.

The ancient Greeks treated the Trojan War as an historical event which had taken place in the 13th or 12th century BC, and believed that Troy was located in modern-day Turkey near the Dardanelles. As of the mid-19th century, both the war and the city were widely believed to be non-historical. In 1868, however, the German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann met Frank Calvert, who convinced Schliemann that Troy was at Hissarlik; this claim is now accepted by most scholars. They believe that there is a historical core to the tale. However, whether there is any historical reality behind the Trojan War is still an open question.

【题目】根据短文内容,从对话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。

We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job. 【1

So, you have to give a speech and you are terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank Goodness, it’s over. I’m just not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”

Cheer up! 2 Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of your time doing your research. Then spend plenty of your time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly. 3 Don’t talk over their heads, and don’t talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.

Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. 4 And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience. If you follow these simple steps, you will see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the span>experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches ! You’re not convinced yet?5

A. It doesn’t have to be that bad.

B. Take several deep breaths before your speech.

C. This article gives some advice on how to give good speech.

D. Say what you have to say and then stop.

E. Don’t say what you aren’t familiar with.

F. Never forget your audience.

G. Give it a try and see what happens.

【题目】Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook by yourself ? Have you been doing Internet shopping rather than going to the stores?

A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of the adults are so lazy that they’d catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs.

Just over 2,000 people were quizzed by independent researchers in the Britain’s largest health center. The results were very surprising.

About one in six people who were asked said if their control was broken, they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up.

More than one third of those asked said they would not run to catch a bus. Worryingly, of 654 respondents (离婚被告) with children, 64% said they were often too tired to play with them.

We know that it’s no wonder that one in six children in the UK are very fat before they start school.

Dr Sarah, Dauncey, medical director of the center, said, “People need to get fitter, not just for their own health, but for their families, friends and pets, too.”

“If we don’t start to take control of this problem, a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most basic tasks.”

And Scotland’s largest city, Glasgow, was shamed as the laziest city in the UK, with 75% asked thinking they do not get enough exercise, followed by Birmingham and Southampton, both with 67%.

So there are some problems for the National Health Service, where fatness-related (相关的) illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on an increase for the past 40 years and are costing billions of pounds every year.

【1】What does the underlined word “quizzed” mean?

A. questionedB. answered

C. listenedD. heard

【2】Of 654 respondents with children, 64% said _____.

A.they were often too busy to play with their children

B.they were often so tired that they couldn’t play with their children

C.they were often so sad that they didn’t want to play with their children

D.they were often ill and they couldn’t play with their children

【3】Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A.All the adults in the UK are very lazy.

B.Half of the children are very fat before they go to school.

C.Pets will be in trouble if their owners don’t keep healthy.

D.All people in Glasgow feel ashamed because they don’t get enough exercise.

【4】From the last paragraph, we can learn ______ if they keep lazy.

A. people may have heart disease

B. people can work at home all the time

C. people like shopping online

D. people don’t like climbing the stairs

【5】What does the passage mainly talk about ?

A. The health service in the UK.

B. A study of British people’s lifestyles.

C. A study of British people’s laziness.

D. The fatness problem in the UK.
