题目内容

【题目】He failed in the exam not only his laziness but also he didn’t listen to the teacher.

A．because; for B．because of; because

C．as; for D．for; since

【答案】 B

【解析】

试题分析：考查because, because of, as, since 辨析。句意：他考试失败不仅是因为懒惰还因为他上课不认真听讲。because 是连词，引导原因状语从句，而because of 是复合介词，后面接名词或者代词等。because/as/since/for because表示直接原因，语气最强。回答why提出的问题只能用because。在强调句型中，也只能用because。 as用于解释做某事的原因，语气较弱，通常位于主句前。 since表示的原因是指人们已知的事实，常意为“既然”。语气比because弱，但比as强。通常位于主句前，并常与as换用。 for并列连词，连接并列分句，表示一种补充说明，是推测或判断的理由，语气较弱，不可位于主句前。有时可表示直接原因，相当于because。故选B项。

【题目】Elizabeth Mitchell’s new “Liberty’s Torch” is the fascinating story of how the Statue of Liberty came to be. The Statue of Liberty’s rough history is explored in “Liberty’s Torch”.

Frederic Auguste Bartholdi is an all-but-forgotten figure in American history. He was, however, responsible for one of the most enduring symbols of the United States: the Statue of Liberty. A Frenchman from Alsace, he designed and built the Statue of Liberty which stood on Bedloe’s Island in New York Harbor. How this statue came to be is the fascinating subject of Elizabeth Michell’s new book “Liberty’s Torch”.

The power of Mitchell’s narrative is convincing(令人信服的). We recognize the Statue of Liberty now as a symbol of hope and opportunity for a nation of immigrants. At the time, though, people could not see that－nor did they even imagine that. Instead, the construction of the statue was born of one man’s desire to set up a great monument.

For this reason, perhaps, “Liberty’s Torch” relies on Bartholdi as the connecting thread. Bartholdi went to Egypt to make photographic copies of the main monuments. On the boat, Bartholdi met and began a lifelong relationship with Ferdinand de Lesseps, the man who would build the Suez Canal. Maybe it was this friendship, or maybe it was seeing Egypt’s huge monuments, but finally the trip inspired Bartholdi’s dream to create the largest statue ever built. Failure to bring this to completion in Egypt, followed by his exile (流放) from Paris, led Bartholdi to sail to America.

By explaining the Statue of Liberty’s hard history and showing Bartholdi’s brave spirit, Mitchell has done a great service.

【1】 It can be inferred from the text that ________.

A. American people have never forgotten Frederic August Bartholdi

B. the Statue of Liberty wasn’t originally regarded as a symbol of hope

C. Bartholdi finished the Suez Canal

D. Bartholdi was a famous architect from Egypt.

【2】What was the main reason for Bartholdi to build the Statue of Liberty?

A. To finish his education in the arts.

B. To mark his friendship with Ferdinand.

C. To create something better than Egyptian monuments.

D. To achieve his dream to create the largest statue.

【3】What type of writing is the passage?

A. A travel guide. B. A book review

C. An announcement D. An architecture report.

Boys are not so good at English when there are girls in their class, a research student said．This finding disagrees with the widely held belief that girls always have a good influence on boys in school.

Boys do best with as few girls as possible in English lessons at primary and secondary schools, Steven Proud, a research student at Bristol University, told the Royal Economic Society’s conference.

But when it comes to math and science, both boys and girls at primary schools achieve up to a tenth of a grade higher when there is a greater percentage of girls in the class, Proud found.

Proud kept a record of boys’ and girls’ test results at the ages of 7, 11, and 16 in 16,000 schools in England．He studied the test scores to see whether the percentage of girls made a difference to the results of both boys and girls in math, science and English.

Boys always perform worse when the number of girls they study English with increases, which is especially the case at primary schools．Proud also found that girls are unaffected by the number of boys in their English class.

Proud said boys may do worse in English when there is high proportion(比例) of girls in their class because they think that the girls are better than them．It could also be that teachers use teaching styles more appropriate(适合) to girls when there are more girls than boys in the class.

Proud argues that his results show boys should be taught English in single-sex classes.

However, Professor Alan Smithers, director of the Centre for Education and Employment Research at the University of Buckingham, said, “Boys may be discouraged by how well girls are doing in English, but you can’t say that it means boys and girls should be separated．It has very little practical importance to schools.”

It is important to teach your dog to guard you and the other members of your family against danger．Here are some tips on how to train your dog to protect you.

Use proper commands.

A dog acts according to how it has been trained．The only way to do this is through commands and your own body actions and sounds． 【1】 Soon, whenever you use the command “Attack!”, your dog will understand that it needs to fight the thing you are pointing at．While you are training the dog to attack, you must also train it to stop the attack.

Encourage socializing（交际）.

It is very important to introduce your puppy to other people and let it interact（互动）with them.

【2】

This exercise is very important because it will help the dog distinguish（辨别）between good people and bad people．People who are good will be those who are allowed to come close to it and pat it.

【3】

Teach your dog to keep a check on the house by taking it around the house and making it sniff（嗅）the area．You will need to do this a couple of times so that the dog understands that it needs to keep a check every night．After a few days, the dog will begin to do this exercise on its own．It will check the house and return back indoors.

【4】

Giving rewards such as a pat, a hug, verbal praise “Good dog!” or treats is an excellent way of letting the dog know that you are happy with its behavior．Since you are the master, it is your duty to make sure your dog is rewarded for its good behavior and punished for its bad behavior．Punishment involves scolding the dog by using the command “Bad dog!” or “No, very bad!” 【5】

A．Teach night guarding.

B．Reward it for its good behavior.

C．Command the dog to attack by saying the word “attack” loudly.

D．An older dog can also be trained to protect its master.

E．A good guard dog is friendly to the people around it.

F．This will help the dog learn that it mustn’t do certain things.

G．If your dog does not come inside, you will need to command it to get back.

Weighing the Options

Making decisions when shopping is often a tough call．Even if you’re satisfied with the first dress you try on, would you go on looking for alternatives, comparing styles and prices, until you literally dropped dead?

Psychology researchers have studied how people make decisions and concluded there are two basic styles．“Maximizers” like to take their time and weigh a wide range of options—sometimes every possible one—before choosing．“Satisficers” would rather be fast than thorough.

【1】 So even if they see what would seem to meet their requirements, they can’t make a decision until after they’ve examined every option to make sure that they’re making the best possible choice．Researchers followed 548 job-seeking college seniors at 11 schools from October through their graduation in June．They found that the maximizers landed better jobs．【2】

“The maximizer is kicking himself because he can’t examine every option and at some point had to just pick something,” they say．“Maximizers make best decisions and end up feeling bad about them．【3】”

Satisficers also have high standards, but they are happier than maximizers．Maximizers tend to be more depressed and to report a lower satisfaction with life, his research found.

Faced with so many choices in our lives, we need to learn how not to waste time and energy on our decision-making．

【4】 For instance, if you’re picking a restaurant for a lunch meeting, first deciding on a certain part of town or type of cuisine can narrow your options.

Once you’ve arrived at a decision, stick with it．【5】 To limit the number of options you can consider, you can set a time limit for decision-making．Say you are buying a new bag, you could spend an amount of time studying features, price and value—but if you give yourself only five minutes to make a decision, and there are only these bags you can consider, you’ll save time．You’ll be happier with your decision, too.

A．Maximizers are people who want the best.

B．First of all, decrease your range of options.

C．Comparing is often a must when you make a decision．

D．Just accept that no decision is ever completely perfect.

E．Satisficers make good decisions and end up feeling good.

F．The other is to make decisions more accurately at the beginning.

G．Their starting salaries were 20 percent higher but they felt worse about their jobs．
