【答案】

【1】 was

【2】actually

【3】the

【4】or

【5】to reduce

【6】cleaner

【7】that/which

【8】amazing

【9】changes

【10】patient

【解析】

试题分析:你正面临着一个看起来不可能解决的情况吗?

【1】 was 根据本段第一句In 1969,the pollution was terrible可知本段叙述的是过去发生的事情。the Cuyahoga River Cleveland在过去被污染地如此地严重,过去没有人能够想象倒这条河被清理干净。故填was。

【2】actually 本句中使用副词actually做状语修饰谓语动词caught fire,actual是形容词,不能在句中做状语,通常只做定语或者表语修饰名词。

【3】the 本句横线后面的most是最高级的形式,所以使用the most outstanding的形式。

【4】or但是这条河流的改变不是几天或者几个月的事情。本句中的or“或者”表示选择的意思。

【5】to reduce 考查固定句式:It takes sb some time to do sth做某事花了某人…时间;句中的不定式to reduce he industrial pollution and clean the water是句子真正的主语。前面的it是形式主语。

【6】cleaner句意:最后人们的努力得到了回报,现在这条河比以前更干净了。横线后面有than,说明横线上应该使用比较级的形式。

【7】that/which 本句是一个定语从句,先行词是a habit,定语从句中使用关系动词that/which指代先行词在句做主语。

【8】amazing现在分词转换的形容词常常修饰事物,过去分词转换的形容词常常修饰人或者与人有关的事物。横线后面是名词story,说明应该使用现在分词转换的形容词。

【9】changes本句中谓语部分是系动词are,说明主语应该是一个复数形式的名词,所以使用changes。

【10】patient 横线前面有系动词be,说明本句是一个祈使句be patient耐心一点。因为很多变化都是逐渐发生的,需要很多努力,我们要耐心一点。

【知识归纳】

谈or的用法

1.在否定句中表示“和”。He can’t sing or dance.他不会唱歌、跳舞。

2.“否则”,表示转折的意思。Hurry up,or you’ll miss the first bus.快点,否则你将错过第一班公共汽车。

3.“或者”,表示选择,可引导选择疑问句。either---or---或者---,或者---。

【题目】阅读理解

Kong Zi,also called Confucius(551—479 B.C.),and Socrates(469—399 B.C.)lived only a hundred years apart.During their lifetimes there was no contact between China and Greece,but it is interesting to look at how the world that each of these great philosophers came from shaped their ideas,and how these ideas in turn,shaped their societies.

Neither philosopher lived in times of peace,though there were more wars in Greece than in China.The Chinese states were very large and feudal,while the Greek city-states were small and urban.The urban environment in which Socrates lived allowed him to be more radical(激进的)than Confucius.Unlike Confucius,Socrates was not asked by rulers how to govern effectively.Thus,Socrates was able to be more idealistic,focusing on issues like freedom,and knowledge for its own sake.Confucius,on the other hand,advised those in government service,and many of his students went on to government service.

Confucius suggested the Golden Rule as a principle for the conduct of life.“Do not do to others what you would not want others to do to you.” He assumed that all men were equal at birth,though some had more potential than others,and that it was knowledge that set men apart.Socrates focused on the individual,and thought that the greatest purpose of man was to seek wisdom.He believed that some had more potential to develop their reason than others did.Like Confucius,he believed that the superior class should rule the inferior(下层的) classes.

For Socrates,the family was of no importance,and the community of little concern.For Confucius,however,the family was the centre of society,with family relations considered much more important than political relations.

Both men are respected much more today than they were in their lifetimes.

【1】Which of the following is TRUE according to the first paragraph?

A.Socrates and Confucius had much in common.

B.Confucius had much influence on Socrates’ ideas.

C.The societies were influenced by the philosophers’ ideas.

D.There were cultural exchanges between China and Greece.

【2】Socrates shared with Confucius the idea that .

A.all men were equal when they were born

B.the lower classes should be ruled by the upper class

C.the purpose of man was to seek freedom and wisdom

D.people should not do to others what they did not want others to do to them

【3】What made some people different from others according to Confucius?

A.Family. B.Potential.

C.Knowledge. D.Community.

【4】This passage is organized in the pattern of .

A.time and events

B.comparison and contrast

C.cause and effect

D.definition and classification

【题目】Music is an international language. The songs that are sung or played by instruments(乐器) are beautiful to all people everywhere.

Popular music in America is what every student likes. Students carry small radios(收音机) with earphones and listen to music before class, after class and at lunch. Students with cars buy large speakers (扬声器) and play the music loudly as they drive on the street.

Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to the news about sports, the weather, politics(政治), and activities of the American people. But most of the radio broadcast(广播) is music.

Pop or popular music singers make much money. They make a CD or tape which radio stations use in every state. Once the popular singer is heard throughout the country, young people buy his or her tapes. Some of the money from these tapes comes to the singer. Wherever the singer goes, all the young people want to meet him or her. Now the singer has become a national star.

Besides pop music, there are two other kinds of music that is important to Americans. One is called folk music. It tells stories about the common(平凡的)life of Americans. The other is called western or country music. This was started by cowboys who would sing at night to the cows they were watching. Today, any music about country life and the love between a country boy and his girl is called western or country music.

【1In America, every student likes ______.

A. folk music B. country music

C. pop music D. western music

2According to the passage, most of the car radio broadcast is ______.

A. sports B. the weather C. politics D. music

Time to give thanks

When it comes to Thanksgiving, turkey may be the first thing that comes to mindIt’s the right picture, but it’s not complete.

Celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November every year, Thanksgiving Day is a time for thanksgiving and feasts.It’s about expressing your gratitude to the important people and all the good things in your life.

Americans celebrate Thanksgiving with much warmth and keep many traditional customs.Here we introduce two of the rules Americans typically follow on this day.

1.Time for prayers and paying back

Thanksgiving Day has been associated with prayers in church and in homes for centuries.Attending church prayer services in the morning is the first step of many celebrators on Thanksgiving Day.The churches provide worship (礼拜) services and organize special events for the occasion.

Before Thanksgiving meals, some families gather together and read prayers to thank God for his kindness and the gifts he has bestowed upon (给予) them in the form of friends and family.

Some people also do voluntary community work on this day, as a way of paying back.

2.Family reunions and showing gratitude

Like China’s Spring Festival, preparing a big meal and bringing the family together at home is a long-standing tradition of Thanksgiving.Distances don’t really matter as relatives return home to be with their family, no matter how far away.
