题目内容

Nowadays car accidents are ______.The _____occurrence is more than 10 per day in the city.

C. usual, general                          D. common, average

 

【答案】

D

【解析】

试题分析:ordinary的基本意思是“普通的”“平常的”“一般的”“平庸的”。指与一般事物的性质标准相同,强调“平常”而无高明奇特之处。

ordinary在句中可用作定语,也可用作表语,偶尔也可用作宾语补足语。

ordinary没有比较级和最高级。

common的基本意思是“普遍的”“共有的”“共同的”,主要指因许多人〔物〕所共同具有或使用而常见,引申可表示“一般的”“平常的”,指普通、无特别之处,有时含有低劣粗俗之意。

common在句中常用作定语,也可用作表语,其后可接介词to。

common在句中修饰不可数名词时,前面不能加不定冠词。

common还可作名词,表示“公有”“公用”“平常”。例如:He has a lot in common with his father.他和他的父亲有许多共同之处。He noticed nothing out of the common.他没有注意到有什么异常的地方。

average的基本意思是“平均的”,可指算术上“平均的”,也可用于一般事物; 引申可表示“平常的,普通的”,指一般水平,既非优异,亦非低劣。

average作“平均的”解时只用作前置定语,不用于比较等级。

average作“平常的”或“一般的”解时,后面的名词用单数形式比复数形式普通。假使后面的名词是单数形式,前面用the或an都可以。

general的基本含义是“普遍的,全面的; 总的,整体的”,该词侧重牵涉人人或绝大多数地方。引申可表示“非专门的,一般的”“正常的,常规的; 通常的”“大致的,笼统的”。

general也可表示“总的,首席的”,只用作定语,多与定冠词the连用,首字母常大写。

general在句中可用作定语、表语或宾语补足语。

usual的意思是“通常的,寻常的,惯常的”,指正常的、通常发生的或期望发生的事物,或描述在特定情况下经常发生、经常进行或经常使用的事物。强调“习惯性的,遵循常规的,不陌生的”。

usual在句中可用作定语或表语。用作定语时,其前一般加the或所有格代词,不能加a。

usual在特定的上下文中有时可省略后面的被修饰词。

句意:如今,交通事故是常见的,在一个城市里每天发生事故有十几次之多。

考点:考查形容词辨析。

点评:本题难度适中。多年来,高考中对“实词”的考查,侧重于对同义词、近义词的辨析及其选择使用。高考对正确使用单词的考查,已经完全抛弃了以往对语言静态的分析,而是以词语为载体,注重考查学生的实际运用能力,因此,在复习备考中,对近义词辨析选择填空题,应重点落实词义的细微差别,掌握辨析角度,强化语境分析,加强针对性训练。

即学即练:He was an______old gentleman who was going to enjoy what life had to offer.

A. ordinary          B. common   C. usual      D. usually

解析:A。句意:他是个普通老绅士,他将享受生活所能提供的东西。

It is impossible to think about “growing up” in modern America without considering “youth culture” which every young person—even those who do not attend public schools—is confronted by and must deal with. It is impossible to be so isolated that we are untouched by the surrounding culture. Nor should we wish to be—as we are called to be—salt and light in a very confused and broken world. Popular culture deserves neither uncritical acceptance nor knee-jerk rejection, but thoughtful critique(批评).
On the contrary, China paid too little attention to youth culture in the past. However, with society developing, more and more people have realized the importance of analyzing, understanding and promoting youth culture.
About 100,000 young Chinese people from all over the world will attend the first China Youth Culture Week scheduled to open Saturday in Shenzhen’s China Folk Culture Villages, a press conference was told Thursday.
A series of cultural activities will be staged from Saturday to Wednesday, including a huge performance expected to challenge for a listing in the Guinness Book of World Records.
About 10,000 young people will attend the opening ceremony Saturday. A final list of the Chinese Youth Idol Award to five outstanding young Chinese was announced at the conference. They are the country’s first astronaut, Yang Liwei, Chinese NBA star, Yao Ming, IT entrepreneur, Ding Lei, anchorperson, Wu Xiaoli, and Olympic Games gold medalist, Deng Yaping. The youth idols were selected by
Chinese teenagers with 380,000 votes cast nationwide.
During the past two months, the organizers received more than 3,000 applications from young people in Hong Kong and Macao who wanted to take part in the performance.
52. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “confronted by”?
A. Concerned about.        B. Thought of.  C. Confused with.    D. Faced with.
53. Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 1?
A. People can be isolated from the surrounding culture.
B. The American youth accept popular culture without any thought.
C. People shouldn’t refuse popular culture totally.
D. Americans ignore cultures at all while growing up.
54. The list of the five Chinese youth idols indicates that ____.
A. success is considered the most important factor in the Chinese youth’s values
B. the Chinese youth don’t care about their idols’ personalities
C. there are only five people admired by the Chinese youth
D. the parents want to set those people as examples
55. What can we infer from this passage?
A. America paid too much attention to youth culture.
B. China pays more attention to youth culture nowadays.
C. Chinese youth admire movie stars and regard them as their idols.
D. America thinks their youth are more important than the Chinese youth.

The evidence for harmony(和谐) may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly-held image (形象)of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.

An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it had ever been in the past.“We were surprised by just how positive(肯定的) today’s young people seem to be about their families,” said one number of the research team.“They’re expected to be rebellious(叛逆的) and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds:they want a car and material goods,and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There’s more negotiation(商议) and discussion between parents and children,and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don’t want to rock the boat(捣乱).”

So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. “My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17-year-old Daniel Lazall. “I always tell them when I‘m going out clubbing. As long as they know what I’m doing, they’re fine with me.” Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. “Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I’d done all my homework, could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”

Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments(评论),“Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over. ”

New York Times---( DINITIA SMITH )Tomorrow is the 433d anniversary of Shakespeare’s birth. A recent survey shows that more people are watching him, reading him and studying him than ever before.

Consider the recent yearly conference of the Shakespeare Association of America in Washington, where more than 600 people who study or admire Shakespeare from 18 countries took in topics like ‘‘Whither Attribution Studies,’’ ‘‘Unpopular Shakespeare’’ and ‘‘Sex Me Here,’’ a talk on breast-feeding and Lady Macbeth.

‘‘The national media is saying that fewer students’ taking Shakespeare,’’ Barbara Mowat, the editor of The Shakespeare Quarterly, observed in a speech at the conference. ‘‘But Shakespeare is thriving.’’ The association’s membership has increased by a third since 1990.

The Shakespeare business is so good these days that W. W. Norton is introducing a huge new collections of the plays into the already crowded field just in time for tomorrow’s birthday anniversary. Priced at $44.95, ‘‘The Norton Shakespeare: Based on the Oxford Edition’’ runs for 3,420 pages, offering introductions, illustrations and notes and three versions(版本) of ‘‘King Lear.’’

Today, movies and videos have made the plays even more accessible. Last year, ‘‘William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet’’ was No. 1 at the box office when it opened, and it grossed nearly $50 million. In New York in January, crowds lined up in the freezing cold to see Kenneth Branagh’s four-hour ‘‘Hamlet.’’ The students select a scene and then have a violent discussion about it.’’ Influenced by films, professors are increasingly teaching students by having them perform the plays.

1.Why people from 18 countries came to Washington this year?

A. To celebrate Shakespeare’s 433d birth day only.

B. To watch some plays by Shakespeare as planned.

C. To celebrate Shakespeare’s birthday and study his works.

D. To discuss how to teach students using Shakespeare’s plays.

2.What does the underlined word “ field” in the fourth paragraph refer to?

A. Washington D.C.                              B. Shakespeare Association.

C. The birthday anniversary.                  D. The Shakespeare business.

3.Which of the many plays by Shakespeare was most popular the year before?

A. King Lear.                                            B. Hamlet.

C. Macbeth.                                              D. Romeo and Juliet.

4.What does the author want to prove by using so many examples about Shakespeare?

A. More and more people are becoming interested in Shakespeare.

B. Shakespeare business is being run well in America nowadays.

C. Plays by Shakespeare can be used at school for more studies.
