【解析】

试题分析:本文属于记叙文,讲述了Johnson赖以为生的奶牛摔死以后,他努力开发被人抛弃的农场的潜力得以生活下去的事情。

【1】a考查冠词。本句中使用不定冠词a,表示泛指。句意:他有一个农村,这个农场看上去好像是被抛弃的。

【2】Luckily 考查副词。根据后一句:他有一头奶牛,每天都产奶。这对他来说是一件很幸运的事情。所以本句中使用副词luckily作状语修饰整个句子。

【3】for 考查固定搭配。短语exchange.... for....用...交换....;他到城里卖掉牛奶或把一些牛奶换成其他食物,用剩下的牛奶做奶酪或黄油。

【4】was left 考查时态语态。根据本文第一句可知本文叙述的是过去发生的事情,所以要使用一般过去时。同时根据句意可知他把剩下的牛奶做成奶酪和黄油。所以使用被动语态was left。

【5】when 考查固定句式。句式be doing sth when...作者做某事在这时发生了意料之外的事情。其中的when是一个并列连词。句意:有一天奶牛正在吃草在这时开始下起了大雨。

【6】fell 考查时态。本文叙述的是过去发生的事情,所以使用一般过去时。奶牛在跑的时候,摔下了山,死掉了。

【7】without 考查上下文串联。根据上句可知奶牛摔死了,所以他努力地在没有奶牛的情况下活下去。

【8】to sell 考查不定式用法。在高中英语中,常常使用不定式充当目的状语。本句表示他砍树来卖木材谋生。

【9】where 考查定语从句。本题定语从句的先行词是the market,关系代词where引导定语从句,并在句中充当地点状语。

【10】考查代词。本句是一个固定句型:sth occur to sb某人突然想起某事;本句中的it就是指文章的主人公Mr. Johnson。

【题目】Long live language. That’s the message Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson and city councilor Amarjeet Sohi voiced when they declared Feb. 21 to be International Mother Language Day (IMLD) in Edmonton, the capital of the Canadian province of Alberta.

The pair were on hand for the International and Heriage Languages Association’s (IHLA) 12th annual Mother Language Day celebrations in an effort to save endangered languages.

“Keeping languages alive is important for me richness of our culture and the diversity that strengthens Edmonton,” said Iveson.

There are nearly 7,000 unique languages spoken worldwide, but according to data from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) half of those languages are at risk of going extinct in just a few generations.

For example, there are currently over 3,000 languages spoken throughout Africa. This sounds impressive until you realize that there were over 10,000 languages spoken on the continent before colonization during the 19th century.

“People who lose their language experience suffering,” said Olenka Bilash, professor of second language education at the University of Alberta. Bilash likened the loss of language to the loss of cultural identity.

“As a multicultural society, it is very important to continue to preserve and pass on to future generations the language, culture, traditions and customs that we bring to Canada, said IHLA president Olga Prokhorova.

While the City of Edmonton’s citizen and new arrival centre in city hall provides services in 150 languages, Bilash said research shows that “most people are still uncomfortable speaking their own language in public spaces.”

Bliash hopes the official announcement of International Mother Language Day in Edmonton——which echoes International Mother Language Day declared by UNESCO in 1999 —— will be a step toward encouraging more language diversity in order to preserve the cultures tied to them.

“Our words define us; our expressions and vocabulary define who we are as people,” said Marueen Kubinec, Alberta’s minister of culture and tourism. “Our words are living examples, perhaps the best that there are, of human creativity.”

【1】The example of the languages in Africa is given to show .

A.there’re many languages in Arica.

B.a great number of languages became extinct.

C.Africa believes in encouraging cultural diversity.

D.Africans are trying to save endangered languages.

【2】Both Bilash and Prokhorova stress the importance of .

A.mastering more than one foreign language.

B.public policy on Canadian traditions and customs.

C.protecting languages and cultures from extinction.

D.the official announcement of IMLD by UNESCO.

【3】What does the underlined word “echoes” in the text mean ?

A.Suggests. B.Creates.

C.Celebrates. D.Imitates.

【4】What can we learn from Kubinec’s words ?

A.Your language is your identity.

B.Native language is disappearing.

C.Alberta is rich in language diversity.

D.Language can be saved by creativity.

【题目】I have been teaching animal behavior at the Boulder County Prison in Colorado for 10 years. The course is one of the most popular in the prison. Prisoners have to earn the right to attend the course and they work hard to get in.

One reason why the course is so popular is that many prisoners find it easier to connect with animals than with people, because animals dont judge them. They trust animals in ways they dont with humans.

Yet, they hold a misunderstanding of how animals treat one another. Many admit that their own animal behavior is what got them into trouble in the first place. I teach that though there is competition and aggression in the animal kingdom, there is also a lot of cooperation(合作)and sympathy.

Many of the students want to build healthy relationships, and they find that the class helps them. I use examples of the social behavior of group-living animals such as wolves as a model for developing and maintaining(维持)friendships among people who must work together for their own good and also for the good of the group.

Its clear that science inspires the students here and it also gives them hope. I know some students have gone back into education after their being set free while others have gone to work for humane(人道)societies or contributed time and money to conservation organizations. One went on to receive a masters degree in nature writing.

Science and humane education help the prisoners connect with values that they otherwise would not have done. It opens the door to understanding, trust, cooperation and hope. Theres a large population of people to whom science could mean a lot, if only they could have access to it. The class helps me, too. I get as much out of it as the students and it has made me a better teacher.

【1】The authors course is welcomed by the prisoners because ______.

A. they consider animals their best friends

B. they are curious about animal kingdom

C. they feel it easier to get along with animals

D. they are more familiar with animal behavior

【2】The author used wolves as an example to ______.

A. provide the prisoners with more knowledge

B. explain the cruel side of group-living animals

C. help the prisoners realize the importance of teamwork

D. inform the prisoners that animals get people into trouble

【3】We can infer from the text that some prisoners ______.

A. have turned over a new leaf

B. are required to attend the course

C. are willing to learn working skills

D. prefer humane education to science

【题目】A new research of 8,000 young people in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily, it is a bad thing for young people. Puppy love (早恋) may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression .The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys, and younger girls are the worst of all.

The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”. According to the study, even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”, this “loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions. They won’t tell that to their parents.

Dr Marian Kaufman, an expert on young people problems, says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression. She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up, it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends, attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.

Parents should watch for signs of depression—eating or mood changes —and if they see signs from their daughters or sons, they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age. Love will always make us feel young, but only maturity gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.

【1】Which of the following is more likely to have depression?

A. Young people who have a strong sense of selfishness.

B. Young boys whose parents watch for their behavior.

C. Young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions.

D. Careless parents whose children are deep in love.

【2】What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly.

B. The older a woman is,the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance.

C. Early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents.

D. Parents should help their children to be aware of the signs of depression.

【3】What’s the author’s attitude towards puppy love?

A. Confused.

B. Disinterested.

C. Scared.

D. Disapproving.

【4】What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. Parents should forbid their children’s love.

B. Puppy love may bring young people depression.

C. Romance is a two edged sword for adults.

D. Romance is good for young people.

【题目】C

Maggie was very glad that James was not a frequent visitor to the house. In the children’s opinion, they had something that they couldn’t explain or understand about him and that excited their imagination. He stirred(激起) Maggie’s anger, however, so that she often said to her husband. “It’s mercy that brother of yours doesn’t come oftener.”

In fact James came once a year, unexpectedly, around eight o’clock in the evening, and he stayed for six hours of close discussion with his brother. His arrival was a signal to the children that their bedtime would be delayed. Not that he ever spoke to them or played with them. He took no notice of them, as if he was unable to see children, at least until the time came for him to go. Indeed, after his first greeting and a careless kiss, James took no notice of Maggie either, except to add, “You’ll be getting on with the supper, Maggie”. Such was his regard for her.

Maggie paid him back in her own way. She kept the children up, the four of them, to keep her company, she said, but of course they sang and made a noise and broke the endless sound of James’ voice. Very late, they dropped off to sleep in their chairs. Then, when James was about to go, Maggie woke them up and so more or less forced him to part with four shillings before he left. That gave her some satisfaction, for James, though rich, was unwilling to give or share what he had. He always went home by the last train, just after two o’clock.

Maggie’s children secretly stared at their uncle. They could not forget that he had in their mother’s words, “lost two wives and taken a third”. They wondered about those two unfortunate, lost ladies. They asked each other what their fate(命运) had been, and if neither could ever be found again. James never brought his third wife with him nor ever mentioned her. The children decided that he must be so frightened of losing her that he never allowed her outside the door.

【1】Maggie never prepared anything special for James because ________.

A. he was a man difficult to please

B. she never knew when he was coming

C. she was too busy looking after her children

D. he never stayed long enough for a meal

【2】What do we know about Jame’s behavior?

A. He was a kind man, with love for the family.

B. He was unselfish, especially towards his brother.

C. He was anxious to please the family, especially the children.

D. He was rude to his sister-in-law.

【3】Maggie felt pleased when ________.

A. she paid James the money that she owed him

B. James gave some money to the children

C. she had to wake James up to catch his train

D. James thanked her for the nice supper

【4】The children did not realize that two of James’ wives ________.

A. were dead

B. suffered from loss of memory

C. had run away from him

D. might reappear one day
