【解析】

试题分析:本文介绍一年一度的老汽车比赛。它不同于现代汽车的比赛,但并不失兴奋。

【1】excitement 考查名词。a great deal of后接不可数名词,excite的名词形式是excitement,故填excitement。

【2】The 考查定冠词。形容词最高级前需用定冠词the修饰,故填The。

【3】which/that 考查定语从句的引导词。此处为定语从句,先行词是a Benz,指物,故填which或that。

【4】Built 考查非谓语动词。主语it与build构成逻辑上的动宾关系,表被动,且build这一动作已经完成,所以应该用过去分词形式,故填Built。

【5】broke 考查时态。全文讲述的是过去的事情,应该用一般过去时,故填broke。

【6】more 考查形容词比较级。根据后面的“than”可知此处有比较意义,应该用比较级,故填more。

【7】however 考查连词。前面讲述一些车中途故障,没完成比赛,而本句讲一些车完成了比赛。前后语意上是转折关系,又因为有逗号将其与句子的其他部分隔开,所以填however。

【8】its 考查形容词性物主代词。此处是说它的对手,it的形容词性物主代词是its,表示“它的”,故填its。

【9】trying 考查动词。have trouble (in) doing sth.表示“做某事有困难”,故填trying。

【10】from 考查介词。be different from是固定搭配,表示“与……不同”,故填from。

【知识归纳】

1.介词后面用动名词做宾语He left home without telling his parents.他没告诉他的父母就离开了家。

温馨提示:be busy with sth.忙于某事/be busy doing sth.忙于做某事;spend---on sth. 在某事上花费---/spend---(in) doing sth.在做某事上花费---;have difficulty(trouble/problems) with sth.在某事上有困难/ have difficulty(trouble/problems) (in) doing sth.在做某事上有困难;It’s no good/need/use/pleasure doing sth.

The guy who tried to edit English

The English vocabulary is not only huge, it is also full of words that mean practically the same thing. Get, obtain, acquire. Shine, gleam, glow, sparkle. 【1】

That was the thinking of a British writer named C.K. Ogden, who in the 1930s promoted a new form of English with a vocabulary of just 850 words. He called the project Basic English. 2

Ogden arrived at his 850-word list through experimentation. The words he finally included were not necessarily the shortest or most concrete. 3 Because any verbal (动词的) idea could be expressed with a small number of “operators”— words like come, go, take, have, make, be and do — Ogden argued that most verbs were unnecessary. In Basic English, eat is “have a meal” and forget is “go from memory.”

Winston Churchill was a fan of the concept as a way to get foreigners to speak English, and he encouraged the BBC to use it. 4 Roosevelt, who expressed mild interest, joked that Churchill’s famous speech about offering his “blood, toil, tears and sweat” to his country wouldn’t have been so exciting if he “had been able to offer the British people only blood, work, eye water and face water, which I understand is the best that Basic English can do with five famous words.”

5 Churchill didn’t use it either. When seeking to express ourselves, we don’t necessarily need fewer words; we need the right words. So it’s our benefit to have a large supply of words on hand.

A. Do we really need them all?

B. How many words are there in English?

C. Ogden himself didn’t actually use Basic English.

D. Plenty of seeming basic words did not make the list at all.

E. He also tried to persuade President Franklin Roosevelt to promote it.

F. He believed it would make the language more efficient and easier to learn.

G. Despite attention from world leaders, Basic English never got as far as expected.
