题目内容

15．---You mean you missed the concert last night？
---_____．I arrived at the hall half an hour before it finished．（　　）
A．Not exactlyB．Not at allC．Not especiallyD．Not really

分析 ---你是说你错过了昨晚的音乐会了？
---不完全是这样，我在它结束前半个小时到达了音乐大厅．

解答 答案：A
A．Not exactly（用于纠正某人说过的话）并非如此；不完全是这样； B．Not at all 别客气； 没什么；C．Not especially不是特别…； D．Not really不完全是；不见得；根据"I arrived at the hall half an hour before it finished我在它结束前半个小时到达了音乐大厅．"可知，我听了有半个小时的音乐，并没有完全错过昨晚的音乐会；故选A．

点评 本题主要考查的是语言交际．做此类题时，首先应学会从对话的情景中捕捉信息，推断出空缺处所要表达的意思，然后结合各个选项的内容，选出正确答案；另外，还应注意区分not exactly与not really的用法区别（它们都有"不完全是"的意思，但是侧重点是不一样的；not really侧重于"真假"而not exactly侧重于"精确不精确"）

5．Hundreds of years ago，news was carried from place to place by people on foot or by horse．It took days，weeks and sometimes months for people to receive news．Now it is possible to send words and pictures around the world in seconds．Billions of people learn about news stories of their own country and all over the world every day，either by watching TV or reading newspapers．
Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life since the 18th century．Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers．How do newspaper editors decide which news stories to print？Why do they print some stories and not others？What makes a good newspaper story？
Firstly，it is important to report news stories．TV stations can report news much faster than newspapers．Yet，newspapers give more about the same story．They may also look at the story in another way，or they may print completely different stories to those on TV．
Secondly，a news story has to be interesting and unusual．People don't want to read stories about everyday life．As a result，many stories are about some kind of danger and seem to be"bad"news．For example，newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely； instead they print stories about plane accidents．
Another factor （因素） is also very important in many news stories．Many people are interested in news in foreign countries，but more prefer to read stories about people，places and events in their own country．So the stories on the front page in Chinese newspapers are usually very different from the ones in British，French and American newspapers．

21．According to the passage，how do people learn about news stories in the world now？C
A．They carry news stories and tell others from place to place on foot or by horse．
B．They tell each other what they have seen with their eyes．
C．They watch TV or read newspapers．
D．They listen to the radio every day．
22．The difference between newspaper stories and TV news reports is thatA．
A．people can learn more about the same news story from a newspaper
B．people can read the news story more quickly in a newspaper
C．people can read news stories in other countries
D．people can read news stories about their own country
23．To make a good newspaper story，how many factors does the passage talk aboutB？
A．Two．B．Three．C．Five．D．Six．
24．According to the passage，which of the following can you most possibly watch on TV？C
A．You often play football with your friends after school．
B．Your teacher has got a cold．
C．A tiger in the city zoo has run out and hasn't been caught．
D．The bike in front of your house is lost．

10．On my first job as sports editor for the Montpelier Leader Enterprise（MLE），I didn't get a lot  of fan mail，so my attention was caught by a  letter on my desk one morning．
    When I opened it，I read："Sweet piece of  writing on the Tigers．Keep up the good work．"It was signed by Don Wolfe，the  sports editor． Because I was a teenager（being paid the grand total of 15 cents a column inch），his words could not have been more inspiring，I kept the letter in my desk drawer until it got old．Whenever I doubted I had the right stuff to a writer，I would reread Don's note and walk on air again．
    Later，when  I got to know him，I learned that Don made a habit of  writing a quick，encouraging note to people in all walks of life，"When I make others feel good about themselves，"he told me，"I feel good，too．"
    Over the years，I've tried to copy Don and write uplifting words．In a world too often cold and unresponsive，such notes bring warmth．
    Why are positive note writers in such short supply？My guess is that many who shy away from  the  practice are too self-conscious．They are afraid they will be misunderstood．Thus it may cause troubles and problems．And it sounds insincere on the phone，Also，writing takes time；it is far easier to pick up the phone．
    The drawback of phone calls，of course，is that they do not last．A  note attaches more importance to our well-wishing．It is a matter of record，and our words can be read more than once savored （回味） and treasured，and they bring strength and love to us．
    Today  I sent a warm letter to my old boss．I  don't know if it will make his day，but it made mine．As my friend Don Wolfe said．"Making others feel good about themselves makes me feel  good too．"

56．What does the underlined  part"walk  on air"in Paragraph 2 probably mean？
（No more than 5 words）
Become confident．/Feel good about himself．/Become uplifted．
57．According to the author，why aren't  people  willing  to  write  letters？
（No more than 15 words）
Because they may be self-conscious，and writing may cause misunderstanding，and also take time．
58．Why did the author write to his old boss？（No more than 15 words）
To encourage him，make him feel good and also the same to the writer himself．
59．What's  the text mainly about？（No more than 10 words）
The power of a letter from Don Wolfe．
60．Were you  encouraged by anybody？And how？（No more than 25 words）
Yes，I was．When I didn't do well in an exam，my best friend encouraged me to be confident and worked harder．．
20．The reason why he____his post was that there was a more attractive and challenging him．（　　）
A．remainedB．removedC．resignedD．replaced
7．I can tell you from experience，both private and public schools have one thing in common．Look around your school．What do you see？Beautiful buildings？Good teachers？I'll tell you what I see：the need to have the most expensive clothing，newest phone，most expensive car，etc．Think about it．Do you find yourself wanting to one-up （胜过） your friends？Be honest．I know I have at some point in time．
  In my school parking lot，for example，there are more BWM's and Mercedes than one could possibly imagine．When I look at my 2006 Honda CRV，the butterflies in my stomach start flapping their wings wildly．Do people look at me differently because my car is old？
  What about my phone？What about text messaging？Earlier this year in my statistics class my teacher asked our class how many texts each student received in the past 24 hours．My count was twelve．Twenty minutes later，people started to come up with the answers of 200 or more．I firmly believe that people were in competition with each other．Who could get the most texts？Having only twelve texts sent to me made me feel terrible．Was it bad that hardly anyone had texted me？My teacher would never have thought that his question which intended a better understanding of the course made me uncomfortable．
  How about the difference between grade levels in high school？Come on．There is a distinct difference from being a senior and a freshman．At gatherings，the senior class boos（喝倒彩） every other grade，sometimes causing fights．Being a senior，I don't want to make negative comments on people in other grade levels．High school is hard enough as it is．Freshman，sophomores and juniors don't need four hundred students to remind them．
  Trying to impress everyone is hard．Most of the stress we have as teens is living up to everyone else's expectations．The only people we need to impress are ourselves．Be in competition with yourself and you'll live a happier life．

4．If humans were truly at home under the light of the moon and stars，we would go in darkness happily，the midnight world as visible to us as it is to the vast number of nocturnal（夜间活动的）species on this planet．Instead，we are diurnal creatures，with eyes adapted to living in the sun's light．This is a basic evolutionary fact，even though most of us don't think of ourselves as diurnal beings．Yet it's the only way to explain what we've done to the night：We've engineered it to receive us by filling it with light．
   The benefits of this kind of engineering come with consequences-called light pollution---whose effects scientists are only now beginning to study．Light pollution is largely the result of bad lighting design，which allows artificial light to shine outward and upward into the sky．III-designed lighting washes out the darkness of night and completely changes the light levels-and light rhythms-to which many forms of life，including ourselves，have adapted．Wherever human light spills into the natural world，some aspect of life is affected．
   In most cities the sky looks as though it has been emptied of stars，leaving behind a vacant haze（霾） that mirrors our fear of the dark．We've grown so used to this orange haze that the original glory of an unlit night，-dark enough for the planet Venus to throw shadow on Earth，is wholly beyond our experience，beyond memory almost．
  We've lit up the night as if it were an unoccupied country，when nothing could be further form the truth．Among mammals alone，the number of nocturnal species is astonishing．Light is a powerful biological force，and on many species it acts as a magnet（磁铁）．The effect is so powerful that scientists speak of songbirds and seabirds being"captured"by searchlights on land or by the light from gas flares on marine oil platforms．Migrating at night，birds tend to collide with brightly lit tall buildings．
  Frogs living near brightly lit highways suffer nocturnal light levels that are as much as a million times brighter than normal，throwing nearly every aspect of their behavior out of joint，including their nighttime breeding choruses．Humans are no less trapped by light pollution than the frogs．Like most other creatures，we do need darkness．Darkness is as essential to our biological welfare，to our internal clockwork，as light itself．
   Living in a glare of our own making，we have cut ourselves off from our evolutionary and cultural heritage-the light of the stars and the rhythms of day and night．In a very real sense，light pollution causes us to lose sight of our true place in the universe，to forget the scale of our being，which is best measured against the dimensions of a deep night with the Milky Way-the edge of our galaxy-arching overhead．
