试题分析:本文讲述的是一个腿部有残疾的男孩去购买小狗的时候,发现有一只小狗和他一样腿部都有残疾。于是他决定把小狗买下来,因为他感觉到这个小狗需要一个理解它的人。
1.D 名词辨析。A景色,视力B论文,纸张C信息D标牌;前面有an说明本题应该是一个可数名词。后面的advertising…说明这是一个做广告用的牌子。故D正确。
2.C 连词辨析。A那时B在…前C当…时D在…后;当他把最后一个钉子钉在柱子,他感觉有人拉他。
3.B 动词辨析。A放B看C跪下D开始;他在高处,有人拉他,很自然他应该向下看,故B正确。
4.B 名词辨析。A鼻子B脖子C头D脸;根据the back,可知是只擦去脖子后面的汗水。不会是ACD三项。
5..D 动词用法辨析。Spend的宾语是钱或者时间,指花费时间或者金钱;spare意为“抽出,匀出”;make生产,制作;cost值,以…为代价。本句是指他告诉男孩小狗值很多钱。故D项正确。

8.A 动词短语辨析。A发出,泄露B执行C扑灭D遗漏,省略;农夫吹了一声口哨。这里的let out是发出的意思。农夫让小狗从狗窝里出来。
9.C 副词辨析。Out出来;本句是一个倒装句,副词短语out from the doghouse放在句首,句子的主语是Dolly,要构成全部倒装的形式。指狗从狗窝里跑出来。Up向上;over超过;in在..里面;
10.B 动词词义辨析。Come来;follow跟随;go去;catch抓住;本句中的follow与Dolly构成被动关系,指四只小狗跟着Dolly就出来了。Dolly被四只小狗跟随着。故B正确。

14.B 动词词义辨析。A移动B指向C电话;召集D转向;男孩指着那只小狗对农夫说:我想买这只狗。
15.B 上下文串联。这个农夫对男孩说不要买这个狗,因为这只狗有残疾,永远都不可能像别的小狗那样陪你。

How clean are the nation’s homes?
According to a survey by CIF, there’s room for improvement all over Britain.
Love or hate it — cleaning your home is one job you simply can’t ignore(忽视). But that’s not to say everyone spends the same amount of time or effort on making their places spotless. A new survey by CIF— experts on making tough cleaning jobs easier—— shows that when it comes to washing windows or cleaning the oven(烤箱),where you live in the UK it may show how much effort you put into the task.
BATHROOM
25% of men have never cleaned the toilet — but those in Wales are the worst. Nearly four in 10 Welsh men said they never cleaned anywhere in the house. Hate cleaning the shower head? You’re not alone — a quarter of a million Brits say the same. 20% of Scots regard window-cleaning as their most hated job.
KITCHEN
36% of people in the south-east say cleaning the cooker is their hated task. 68% of those in the north-east spend more than six hours a week cleaning their homes — especially the kitchen — in sharp contrast to the 49% of Welsh and West Country folk, who put their hands up to cleaning for under an hour.
BEDROOM
18% believe cleaning starts here: that’s the percentage of women who clean wearing their dressing gowns. 51% of women in the north-west may be staying in bed and giving their husband a cuddle(拥抱)—as a thank-you for helping them clean. In other places, there are far fewer helpful men.
LIVING ROOM
32% of women in the north-east turn up the stereo to help make the dusting more fun. Almost six in 10 women agree, however, that cleaning is seriously energetic exercise.
SHIFT THE DIRT WITH CIF
It’s no secret that the right cleaning products will cut cleaning time and effort in half— and no one knows that better than How Clean Is Your house? Presenters Aggie Mackenzie and Kim Woodburn. For solutions(解决办法)to all your cleaning needs, here are some of CIF’s top tips:
·Stop a lot of build-up on your shower head—give it a quick squirt(喷洒)with CIF bathroom spray once a week.
·Stainless steel(不锈钢)tools seem to need endless cleaning. The CIF Wild Qrchid Qxy-Gel-it lifts dirt easily and leaves the kitchen smelling fresh and clean.
·Cooking outside? CIF cream will get your barbecue (烤架)spotlessly clean, ready for those long, lazy summer evenings. Perfect!
