【答案】

1an

2terrifying

3caused

4when

5possibility

6Hopefully

7had lost

8In

9hitting

10which

【解析】本篇文章是一篇采访。通过记者和在Typhoon Goni台风中幸存者的对话,讲述了台风的起因、过程及其所造成的灾害。

1an

考查冠词。由题中可知是一场可怕的大灾难。因为是首次出现,表数量。故用不定冠词an.

2terrifying

考查形容词。台风导致了许多其它的可怕的灾难。terrifying 令人害怕的,可怕的。

3caused

考查非谓语。由台风造成的山崩。由by the typhoon可知由台风引起的,要用被动。

landslides     caused by the typhoon           killed

主句的主语   过去分词作定语修饰主语主句的主语    主句的谓语

at least 12 people   by the time rescuers arrived,

主句的宾语      时间状语从句

4when

考查连词。从本句的结构看主句和从句缺少一个连词。从句意来看是当他们在睡觉时突然有一大块山体从山上下来。when用作时间连词,意为“在那时,;就在这时……突然地”。这时主句中可以用was/were doing sth./ was/were abouttodosth.when……”结构

5possibility

考查名词。for any后应该是一个名词,从句意看救援人员一直在寻找有幸存者的可能性,现在仍在寻找幸存者。。所以填possibility。

6Hopefully

考查副词。从句意来判断是希望会是好消息。修饰整个句子。

7had lost

考查动词的时态。过去听别人说(told),而人们是在(told)就有三人死于北方的某个地方,是过去的过去。要用过去完成时。所以用had lost.

8In

考查固定搭配。in all总计,总共。符合题意。 注意一定要大写第一个字母。

9hitting

考查非谓语。hit表示自然灾害的侵袭,遭遇……。且台风与hit侵袭是主动关系,所以现在分词hitting作定语修饰台风。

10which

考查非限制性定语从句。which用来指代前面的整个句子,which所引导的这类特殊的非限定性定语从句是对主句所叙述的情况进行某种意义的补充说明, which常可译为“这一点, 这件事”,在定语从句中作主语。在非限制性定语从句中指代物或整个句子的只能是which.

【题目】Forgiveness

To forgive is a virtue, but no one has ever said it is easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research.

1 Try the following steps:

Calm yourself. 2 You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.

Don’t wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. 3 Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.

Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者). Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who causes you pain. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.

4 If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’s point of view.

Don’t forget to forgive yourself. 5 But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don’t do it.

A. Why should you forgive?

B. How should you start to forgive?

C. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.

D. Try to see things from your offender’s angle.

E. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.

F. To make your anger die away, try a simple stress-management technique.

G. If you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time.

【题目】Does your local town have a nickname?If so,what does it say about the area and the people who live there?

Many cities are recognized across the world by their unofficial titles.New York is the Big Apple,London is the Big Smoke,and Los Angeles is famously called La La Land.

Now Britain's National Mapping Agency(规划局),Ordnance Survey,and the British Linguistics (语言学)Charity,the English Project,are launching an interactive project to uncover the nicknames people use for local places.

The project,which was launched last week to coincide with English Language Day,is called Location Lingo.It aims to identify the names people use every day,whether it's a term of endearment(昵称) or a hate name.

The University of Winchester's Professor Bill Lucas is a leader of the English Project.He explains that unofficial place names often show what people think about a place.“The name that people conjure_up or create for a place forms an emotional connection,”he says.“So Basingstoke becomes Amazingstoke,Swindon is known as Swindump.Padstow,hometown of chef Rick Stein,is nicknamed Padstein.”

Basingstoke is a town in central England.The local nickname,Amazingstoke,shows the love that locals seem to have for the area.Swindon,on the other hand,is sometimes called Swindump,showing that local people think it's a big dump.Stanford Le Hope in Essex is called Stanford No Hope by locals.And Padstow in Cornwall is so closely associated with the local celebrity Rick Stein that it's become known as Padstein.

Since launching the online database (数据) last week,the creators have already received 3,000 alternative titles for places and landmarks.

Some also say that the project could even have a practical use.Glen Hart,Ordnance Survey's head of research,says the information could be very helpful to the emergency services,for example.“By having the most complete set of nicknames,we could help the emergency services quickly locate the right place,and maybe even save lives,”he says.
