【答案】

【1】was

【2】actually

【3】the

【4】or

【5】to reduce

【6】cleaner

【7】that/which

【8】amazing

【9】changes

【10】patient

【解析】

试题分析:

【1】】was 根据本段第一句In 1969,the pollution was terrible可知本段叙述的是过去发生的事情。the Cuyahoga River Cleveland在过去被污染地如此地严重,过去没有人能够想象倒这条河被清理干净。

【2】actually 本句中使用副词actually做状语修饰谓语动词caught fire,actual是形容词,不能在句中做状语,通常只做定语或者表语修饰名词。

【3】the 本句横线后面的most是最高级的形式,所以使用the most outstanding的形式。

【4】 or 句意:但是这条河流的改变不是几天或者几个月的事情。本句中的or“或者”表示选择的意思。

【5】 to reduce 考察固定句式:It takes sb some time to do sth做某事花了某人…时间;句中的不定式to reduce he industrial pollution and clean the water是句子真正的主语。前面的it是形式主语。

【6】cleaner 句意:最后人们的努力得到了回报,现在这条河比以前更干净了。横线后面有than,说明横线上应该使用比较级的形式。

【7】that/which 本句是一个定语从句,先行词是a habit,定语从句中使用关系动词that/which指代先行词在句做主语。

【8】 amazing 现在分词转换的形容词常常修饰事物,过去分词转换的形容词常常修饰人或者与人有关的事物。横线后面是名词story,说明应该使用现在分词转换的形容词。

【9】 changes 本句中谓语部分是系动词are,说明主语应该是一个复数形式的名词,所以使用changes。

【10】patient 横线前面有系动词be,说明本句是一个祈使句be patient耐心一点。因为很多变化都是逐渐发生的,需要很多努力,我们要耐心一点。

Following the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge,Australia plans to build a new landmark—a Chinese theme park,including a full-sized replica(复制品)of the gates to Beijing’s Forbidden City.The plan,which will cost £330 million,has been passed by the local government.This big park is to be built in Wyong Shire,about 50 miles north of Sydney.

The local mayor,Doug Eaton,said the park,to be finished in 2020,was built to become one of the country’s main tourist attractions.“What this park will do is to turn Wyong into a tourist destination and bring millions of money into the area.”The government has agreed to sell the land to the Australian Chinese Theme Park Pty Ltd,the personal company behind the project.The big project will begin with the building of the Forbidden City gates in 2015.

Besides a full-sized replica of the gates to Beijing’s Forbidden City,the park will also have a huge temple with a giant Buddha(佛)and a mini-city looking like Chinese water towns.There is also a part in the building style of the Tang and Song dynasties and another in the style of the Ming and Qing dynasties.It will feature a 1,000-seat theatre,restaurants,a royal villa(皇家别墅),and a children’s part built for pandas,which won’t have any pandas.

“It’s going to be a special $500 million tourist attraction,engaging more than a thousand people to work for it and bringing fast development to Wyong,”said Bruce Zhong,chairman of the ACTP.The project is designed to create a big Chinese tourist market.Experiences in many countries have shown that the more one attracts Chinese tourists,the more money one would make.For example,more than 400,000 Chinese tourists visit the state of New South Wales each year.

House Sitting

In many countries of the world people do what is called house sitting. It means that if owners of the house are going away, they want someone to come into their home and look after the house and maybe pets while they are away.

In Australia, many people travel. After people retire, they might buy a van and travel all over the country. 【1】

So if someone wants to travel or go away for some reason, they might want someone in their home to care for it and keep the gardens tidy. House sitters might have to care for pets. Also, quite a few people have swimming pools in their back yard and they need cleaning. 【2】 I feel it is a great way of seeing the country, because you go and stay in a new city, get to meet new people, and have time to go sightseeing in a new area.

【3】 There are websites where you find the advertisements by people who want to travel, and by replying to the advertisement, you can make arrangements to go and look after their home.

There are some requirements to be a house sitter. You must be a trusted person, so that the home owner knows you will not steal anything. You must be able to go when the house owner wants you to go, so you need lots of free time. 【4】 You need to be good with pets, able to care for cats and dogs, or other pets they may have.

Some house sitting jobs are just for a few days or a couple of weeks while the house owners have a short holiday. Sometimes it is for much longer. We have had one house sit for six months, while the home owner travelled to Europe.

【5】 Then you can travel to many different countries and stay there. One of the important things to get is references from the home owners where you have stayed. A reference is a written letter to say that you are trustworthy and have looked after their home well. You can show these letters to possible house sitting jobs and they know you will do a good job.

A. I have done house sitting many times.

B. Thousands of people do this all the time.

C. It is also possible to do house sitting in other countries.

D. Generally you have many opportunities to get a house sitting job.

E. You must take a little care over what your description says about you.

F. This is an international house sitting service for all city and country areas.

G. You must have a good car, so you can travel to different parts of the country.
