【解析】

本篇是一种对话式的短文。说话人A认为英语很难,比如很多单词读音相似,但含义不同;有些单词写法相似,变化形式却差异很大,因此而产生厌学情绪;说话人B以爱斯基摩语为例,阐明英语并非难学并且鼓励说话人A学好英语。

1句意那是真实的。A错误的;B真实的;C好的;D容易的。根据后文It isn’t the easiest language in the world. 可判断本空同意上文“英语有时非常难”的说法,故填B项。

2句意他们听起来相像但是有不同的含义。A拼写;B写;C项意为“声音”或“听起来…”;D项意为“看”或“看起来”。根据上文Think about “there” and “they’re” and “their” 可判断所给三个词读音很相似故选C。

3句意:ox的复数形式是oxen,但是box的复数不是boxen。A项为“盒子”的复数形式;B项为“盒子”的单数形式;C项是错误的写法;D项意为“复数”。前文阐述英语学起来很难,一种表现是有些词读音相似但是含义不同,第二种表现是oxbox都包含ox,但变复数规则却不同。根据本句句意,故选C项。

4句意并且单词“hard”可以意为“困难的”,也可以是“柔软的”的反义词。A“困难的”或“坚硬的”,A项即是题干中的“hard”,故无法解释清其含义;B“强壮的”;C“容易的”;D“困难的”。通过理解语境,可知本题答案选D。

5句意庆幸你没有学习爱斯基摩人的语言。A项“喜欢”;B项“学习”;C项“生活、居住”;D项“离开”。根据后文“-为什么,爱斯基摩语比英语更难吗?-是的”可判断本空应填B项。

6句意庆幸你没有学习爱斯基摩人的语言。A“人”;B“国家”;C“语言”;D“意义”根据前文讨论语言及后文问题:“-为什么,爱斯基摩语比英语更难吗?-是的”, 可判断本空应填C项。

7句意你谈论的是“hard”的两个不同词义。A项“不同的”;B项“有趣的”;C项“相同的”;D项“英语,英语的”根据前文所述“hard”的词义有“困难的”和“坚硬的”,可判断本空应填A项。

8句意一些爱斯基摩语的名词拥有超过一千种意思。A带来;B某人或某物拥有”,强调事物的归属;C谈论;D项是There be句型表示“某地存在/…”。本题强调“某物拥有”,故选B。

9句意很高兴我没居住在阿拉斯加。A学习;B抵达;C带走;D居住

A、C项为及物动词,无需加介词,可直接加宾语,本题题干中有介词in,故A、C错误;B、D均可以与in连用构成固定短语,arrive in“到达某地”;live in“居住于”,根据语境应选D项。

10句意我认为我不够强壮去携带一本爱斯基摩语字典!A学习;B查阅、抬头看;C搬运,携带;D上文提到有些爱斯基摩语名词可能含有上千种含义,作者此处用暗讽爱斯基摩语复杂难学,需要携带很厚的字典才能学懂,故选C项。

【题目】Do you know about DNA? Here is an introduction of it.

DNA is short for deoxyribonucleic acid. It contains genetic instructions. These instructions are used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms(有机体). That's to say that your DNA decides what you are like. Perhaps this is a little bit difficult for you to understand. Here is an example to explain it more clearly. Before you were born, your DNA had already decided you would have two hands and that each hand would have five fingers. Your_hands_would_help_you_hold_things_and_do_many_other_things.

However, DNA is more than that. We get our DNA from our father and mother. That is why we look like our parents and are not like others'. Also because of different DNA, Chinese people look different from Americans. Chinese people have black hair and eyes, but many Americans have blue eyes and blond hair. Though we have discussed many things about DNA here, there is still a lot more to know about it. If you would like to know more about DNA, you should go on the Internet. Perhaps the website will help you.
