题目内容
— Is John coming by train ?
— He should, but he ______ not. He likes driving his car.
A. must B. can C. need D. may
D
解析:
先确定问句为将来时态，因为像come,go,leave,start等等这类趋向动词的进行时表示将来时。这是至关重要的，因为答语是就一将来的动作作出判断的。先排除A项，must not译为“不准”，与 文意不合；再排除B项，至少cannnot不可分开写；最后排除C项， need not译为“不必”，与文意相左；只有选D项，译为“可能不，不一定”，正好与后文的He likes driving his car相吻合，故应选D项。
The boy ________ a blue jacket is John’s brother.
| A．wear | B．wore | C．wearing | D．wears |
What do you want to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? How about an ice-cream taster?
Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice-cream. Just ask John Harrison, an “Official Taste Tester” for the past 21 years. Testing helps manufacturers to be sure of a product’s quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream — as well as for developing over 75 flavors (味道）.
Some people think that it would be easy to do this job: after all, you just have to like ice cream, right? No — there’s more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or food-science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this “cool” field.
In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice-cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12℉. Harrison explains, “You get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir it, creating ice-cream soup.”
While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance. “Tasting begins with the eyes,” he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself, “Does the product have the color expected from that flavor?” Next it’s time to taste!
Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy — working at one cool job.
