题目内容
【题目】It’s hard for Mary to ________ her excitement when she saw her favorite film star, jumping and crying.
A.discoverB.increaseC.controlD.improve
【答案】C
【解析】
句意:当玛丽看到她最喜欢的电影明星,她很难控制住自己的兴奋,她兴奋地跳起来大哭。
考查动词辨析。discover发现;increase增加;control控制;improve改进。It是形式主语,真正的主语是后面的动词不定式;根据“jumping and crying”可知她看到最喜欢的影星很兴奋,此处表达控制住她的兴奋情绪是很难的,用to control her excitement。故选C。
【题目】 Somerset Maugham, a famous English writer, says, to acquire the habit of reading is to construct for yourself a refuge from almost all the miseries of life. Here are several ways to develop a lifetime reading habit.
Set times. You should have a few set times every day when you'll read for at least 5-10 minutes, no matter what happens. For example, make it a habit to read during breakfast and lunch(and even dinner if you eat alone).
Always carry a book. No matter where you go, take a book with you. When leaving the house, make sure to have at least one book. You may keep the book in the car, or take it into the office or to anywhere you go, unless you're sure you won't have time to read. If there is a time when you have to wait, like at a doctor's office, take out your book and read.
Make a list. Keep a list of all the great books you want to read. You can keep this in a pocket notebook. Be sure to add to it whenever you hear about a good book. Keep a running list, and cross out the ones you have read.
Find a quiet place. Find a place in your home where you can sit in a comfortable chair with a good book. There should be no television or computer near the chair to distract you. There should be no music or noisy family members.
Set a high aim. Tell yourself that you want to read 50 books this year or some other number like that. You set about finishing reading them. Just be sure you' re still enjoying the reading.
