题目内容

【题目】The general manager thought _______ of these problems before he made the final decision.

A. a good many B. a great deal

C. lots D. a plenty

【答案】B

【解析】

试题分析:考查固定短语。短语a good many意为“许多”,单独使用修饰可数名词复数形式。A great deal of不可数名词。Lots of既可以修饰可数名词也可以修饰不可数名词,没有a plenty of的结构。本句中a great deal充当副词修饰动词短语think of these problems。句意:在总经理做出最后决定之前,对这些问题他考虑了很多。故B正确。

【题目】House Sitting

In many countries of the world people do what is called house sitting. It means that if owners of the house are going away, they want someone to come into their home and look after the house and maybe pets while they are away.

In Australia, many people travel. After people retire, they might buy a van and travel all over the country. 1

So if someone wants to travel or go away for some reason, they might want someone in their home to care for it and keep the gardens tidy. House sitters might have to care for pets. Also, quite a few people have swimming pools in their back yard and they need cleaning. 2I feel it is a great way of seeing the country, because you go and stay in a new city, get to meet new people, and have time to go sightseeing in a new area.

3 There are websites where you find the advertisements by people who want to travel, and by replying to the advertisement, you can make arrangements to go and look after their home.

There are some requirements to be a house sitter. You must be a trusted person, so that the home owner knows you will not steal anything. You must be able to go when the house owner wants you to go, so you need lots of free time.4 You need to be good with pets, able to care for cats and dogs, or other pets they may have.

Some house sitting jobs are just for a few days or a couple of weeks while the house owner have a short holiday. Sometimes it is for much longer. We have had one house sit for six months, while the home owner travelled to Europe.

5 Then you can travel to many different countries and stay there. One of the important things to get are references from the home owners where you have stayed. A reference is a written letter to say that you are trustworthy and have looked after their home well. You can show these letters to prospective house sitting jobs and they know you will do a good job.

A. I have done house sitting many times.

B. Thousands of people do this all the time.

C. It is also possible to do house sitting in other countries.

D. Generally you have many opportunities to get a house sitting job.

E. You must take a little care over what your description says about you.

F. This is an international house sitting service for all city and country areas.

G. You must have a good car, so you can travel to different parts of the country.

【题目】When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance, the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment, but certainly not an education priority(优先). This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students.

Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values and the social environment it came from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as does a Schubert song. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society.

Music provides a kind of perception(感知)that cannot be acquired any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotive meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.

The arts are forms of thoughts as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings talk to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our discoveries, our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.

Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love.

So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.

【1】According to Paragraph 1, students _______.

A. disagree with their parents on education

B. regard music as a way of entertainment

C. view music as an overlooked subject

D. prefer the arts to science

【2】In Paragraph 2, the author uses jazz as an example to _______.

A. compare it with rock music

B. introduce American musical traditions

C. show music identifies a society

D. prove music influences peoples lifestyles

【3】According to the passage, the arts and science _______.

A.approach the world from different angles

B. explore different phenomena of the world

C. express peoples feelings in different ways

D .explain what it means to be human differently

【4】What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Music is an effective communication tool.

B. Music should be of top education priority.

C. Music makes students more imaginative

D. Music education deserves more attention.
