【题目】书面表达

假定你是李华，贵校在学生中征集意见，询问学生是否赞成开设iPad课堂（iPad classrooms）。你支持开设iPad名师点拨

短文改错主要考查学生对冠词、名词、形容词、副词、固定搭配、主谓一致、同位语从句、被动语态、时态等语法知识的掌握情况。做短文改错之前应该首先确定全文的时态。众所周知，情态动词、助动词和be动词后跟动词原形，所以带be的固定搭配一定不要漏掉be。比如10小题，will后跟动词原形，be proud of因---而自豪，故在will后加be。常见的这类词组有be proud of因---而自豪；be pride in因---而自豪；be faced with面临着---；be full of充满了---；be filled with 被---填满；be interested in 对---感兴趣；be satisfied with 对---感到满意。

考点：考查短文改错

Snow falls in the Earth’s extreme North and South throughout the year. However, the heaviest snowfalls have been reported in the mountains of other areas during winter. Snow is even known to fall near the Equator (赤道), but only on the highest mountains.

Snow contains much less water than rain, but much of the water the world uses comes from snow. 【1】 In the western United States, mountain snow provides up to seventy-five percent of all surface water supplies.

Snowfall helps to protect plants and some wild animals from winter weather. Fresh snow is made largely of air trapped among the snow crystals (晶体). Because the air has trouble moving, the movement of heat is limited. 【2】 The surface of the snow takes in, or absorbs, sound waves. As snow grows older or if there have been strong winds, it can become hard and flat. Then, the snow’s surface will help to send back sound waves.

【3】 It is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of people. Many people die in traffic accidents on roads covered with snow and ice or from being seriously stuck in the winter storm. 【4】 .

People may not be able to avoid living in areas where it snows often. However, they can avoid becoming victims of snowstorms. People should stop driving and stay at home until the storm has passed. People living in these areas should carry emergency supplies in their vehicle. 【5】 .

A. These include food, emergency medical supplies, and extra clothing to stay warm and dry.

B. Snow also influences the movement of sound waves.

C. Melting snow provides water for rivers, electric power stations and agricultural crops.

D. Mountain snowfall is heavier than that in the South and the North Poles.

E. In many places, streets were blocked; houses fell down and supplies were short.

F. Others die from heart attacks caused by too much physical activity out in the cold.

G. Snow may be beautiful, but it can be deadly.

【题目】Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 AM. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.

I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice.

After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.

I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car.

She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It’s nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”

“Oh, you’re such a good man.” she said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”

“It’s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.

“Oh, I’m in no hurry,” she said. “I’m on my way to a hospice (临终医院). I don’t have any family left. The doctor says I don’t have very long.”

I quietly reached over and shut off the meter (计价器).

For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.

Sometimes she’d ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.

At dawn, she suddenly said,” I’m tired. Let’s go now.”

We drove in silence to the address she had given me.

“How much do I owe you?” she asked.

“Nothing.” I said.

“You have to make a living,” she answered. “Oh, there are other passengers,” I answered.

Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.”

【1】The old woman chose to ride through the city in order to ______.

A. show she was familiar with the city

B. reach the destination on time

C. let the driver earn more money

D. see some places for the last time

【2】The taxi driver did not charge the old woman because he ______.

A. was in a hurry to take other passengers

B. shut off the meter by mistake

C. had received her payment in advance

D. wanted to do her a favor

【3】What can we learn from the story?

A. An act of kindness can bring people great joy.

B. People should respect each other.

C. Giving is always a pleasure.

D. People should learn to appreciate others’ concern.

【题目】Last night’s meteor (流星) shower left many people in the community dissatisfied and demanding answers. According to Gabe Rothschild, Emerald Valley’s mayor, people gathered in the suburbs of the city, carrying heavy telescopes, expecting to watch the brightly burning meteors passing through the sky. What they found instead was a sky so brightened by the city’s lights that it darkened the light of the meteors passing overhead.

“My family was so frustrated,” admitted town resident Duane Cosby, “We wanted to make this an unforgettable family outing, but it turned out to be a huge disappointment.”

Astronomers---scientists who study stars and planets----have been complaining about this problem for decades. They say that light pollution prevents them from seeing objects in the sky that they could see quite easily in the past. They call on people and the government to take measures to fight against it.

There is yet a population besides professional and amateur star observers that suffers even more from light pollution. This population consists of birds, bats frogs, snakes, etc. For example, outdoor lighting severely affects migrating (迁徙的) birds. According to the International Dark-Sky Association, “100 million birds a year throughout North America die in crashes with lighted buildings and towers.”

Countless more animals casualties（伤亡）result from the use of artificial lighting. Clearly, people enjoy the benefits of lighting their evenings, but some scientists think it can be harmful for humans, too. They worry that exposure to light while sleeping can increase person’s chances of getting cancer.

Emerald Valley is only one community that is becoming aware of the negative effects of light pollution. For years, Flagstaff, Arizona, has enforced lighting regulations in its city in order to assist astronomers at the Lowell Observatory. Similar efforts have been made worldwide, and a movement is underway to remind us to turn off lights when we are not using them, so that other creatures can share the night.

【1】It happened last night that________.

A. the city light show attracted many people

B. the meteors flew past before being noticed

C. the city’s lights affected the meteor watching

D. the meteor watching ended up a social outing

【2】What is the author concerned about according to Paragraph 4?

A. Birds may take other migration paths.

B. Animals’ survival is threatened by outdoor lighting.

C. Varieties of animals will become sharply reduced.

D. Animals’ living habits may change suddenly.

【3】Lighting regulations in Flagstaff, Arizona are put into effect to________.

A. lessen the chance of getting cancer

B. enable all creatures to live in harmony

C. ensure citizens a good sleep at night

D. create an ideal observation condition

【4】What message does the author most want to give us?

A. Human activities should be environmentally friendly.

B. Great efforts should be made to save energy.

C. Saving wildlife is saving ourselves.

D. New equipment should be introduced for space study.
