People often come up across the word “SOHO” in the newspaper or magazine. But not everyone knows how it means. As the matter of fact, “SOHO” means “Small Office/ Home Office”. Now many people use computer, so it is possible for you to work at their homes. They needn't go to offices. They can usually work fast and better at home. By work at home, they save a lot of time and energy. They needn't spend time on the road but they won't feel tired or angry because the bad traffic. Maybe in the future, more and more people would be “SOHO” workers.

【答案】①up删去②how→what③the→a④computer→computers⑤you→them⑥fast→faster⑦work→working⑧but→and⑨because加上of⑩would→will


【解析】本文介绍SOHO的含义。

(1)up删去 固定词组:come across偶遇,故把up删去。

(2)how→what 句意:但是不是每个人都知道它意味着什么。句中mean缺宾语,引导宾语从句的连接词要起双重作用,故把how改为what。

(3)the→a 固定词组:as a matter of fact事实上,故把the改为a。

(4)computer- computers 句意:很多人用电脑。可知此处名词用复数形式,故把computer- computers。

(5)you→them 句意:他们在家里工作是可能的。指代前一句中的many people,故把you改为them。

(6)fast→faster 根据后面的better可知,此处用比较级,故把fast改为faster。

(7)work→working 固定结构:by doing sth.通过做某事,故把work改为working。

(8)but→and 句意:他们不必在路上花时间,并且不会因为严重的交通而感到累或生气。两句之间不是转折关系,而是递进关系,故把but改为and。

(9)because加上of 固定结构:because of +sth./doing sth.,故在because后加上of。

(10)would→will 句意:或许在不久的将来,越来越多的人会是“SOHO”工人。用一般将来时态,故把would改为will。

【题目】Imagine you’ve finally landed a job of your dreams in another city. It’s everything you’d hoped for, but there’s only one problem — housing costs in the area are so high that you’re forced to live in a parking lot.

While this sounds like an impossible situation, this predicament is a reality for one man.

Brandon, 25, is a software engineer for Google at its San Francisco, California campus.

“I realized I was paying too large an amount of money for the apartment I was staying in, and I was almost never home,” he told Business Insider. “It’s really hard to justify throwing that money away. You’re not putting money into anything and you are not building it up for a future.”

Since scoring his job in May 2015 following a successful internship, he’s been living in a truck on a parking lot a short distance from his workplace.

The tech worker makes up for the lack of facilities by eating, using the bathroom and showering at work, also charging his phone and computer there.

San Francisco is home to the most expensive rental market in the US, with the average rental for a one-bedroom apartment coming to $3,590 (24,900 yuan) a month, according to property site Zumper.

And while some may not be able to handle giving up life’s luxuries just to put aside some cash, Brandon estimates that he’s saved almost $28,000 since he moved in just over 18 months ago.

“Not only do I get to invest all of that redirected rent money, but I get to invest all the money I’m not spending on furniture, facilities and buying food,” Brandon wrote on his blog.

1Which of the following can replace the underlined word “predicament” in Paragraph 2

A. possibility B. disappointment C. dilemma D. mess

2Why does Brandon prefer to live in a truck on a parking lot?

A. Because he has no time to go back to an apartment.

B. Because the rent is too high and he thinks it isn’t worthwhile

C. Because his workplace provides him with what he needs

D. Because he wants to save money for an apartment of his own.

3What does Brandon think of his choice?

A. Difficult. B. Embarrassing. C. Painful. D. Wise.

Imagine you are in a jumping contest. Animals and insects can also enter this contest. But they might just leave humans in the dust!
The first event is the long jump. The human athlete is Mike Powell. In 1991, he jumped nearly 30 feet, which is the world record for the long jump. That is about five times his own height.
His competitor in the long-jump contest is a frog named “Rosie the Ribbiter.” Rosie set the world record for frogs in 1986 by jumping more than 21 feet. Her record has never been broken by any other frog. Compared to Mike Powell, Rosie's jump is not that amazing. But wait! Rosie is only about 10 inches long when her legs are stretched to their full length. She can jump more than 25 times her size. Rosie, the frog, wins the long-jump event.
The next event is the high jump. Javier Sotomayor, the world record holder, can jump a bar (横杆) 8 feet high. That is about as high as the ceiling in most homes.
Looking around for someone to challenge his record, Javier might need a magnifying glass (放大镜). The next contestant is a tiny insect called the spittlebug (吹沫虫).
The spittlebug can jump 28 inches into the air. It is only a quarter-inch long, less than the width of a pencil. If the spittlebug were the same size as Javier, it would be able to jump 600 feet into the air. That is like a human jumping over a building 55 stories high!
Though the humans lose the “jumping contest,” their competitors would probably agree that Mike and Javier are still pretty excellent athletes. If only Rosie and the spittlebug could speak!
(1)The underlined word “contestant” in Paragraph 5 means “_____”.
A.coach
B.teammate
C.challenger
D.record holder
(2)What can we learn about the spittlebug?
A.It likes living on the ceiling.
B.It is good at flying in the air.
C.It is the same length as a pencil.
D.It has a wonderful jumping talent.
(3)In the author's opinion, Rosie and the spittlebug's jumping abilities are ________.
A.surprising
B.promising
C.doubtful
D.fearful
(4)How does the author develop the text?
A.By giving instructions.
B.By making comparisons.
C.By following the order of time.
D.By following the order of importance.

To me, inspirations mean to put my thoughts, heart, and creations into my jewelry. Sometimes I become so inspired with what I'm working on that I can finish one or more sets in less than an hour. Because of that feeling, I have named my jewelry collection “Inspirations”.
I am a 17-year-old student with sickle-cell anemia. With this, I am in and out of the hospital a lot. So I started making jewelry a year ago when I was in the hospital. I really needed something to do, so I was introduced to jewelry making by a child life expert.

I am getting very excited about graduating next year and preparing myself for college. Who knows my collection of “Inspirations” would take me to the places I always dreamed of? I may see celebrities I admire and even sell them some of my beautiful “Inspirations”. If they wear my “Inspirations”, it will be well known and in great demand.
