题目内容

【题目】Most Americans think of New Year as a single day on January lst. However, Chinese-Americans and people from other 【1】(culture) that use different calendars each have another celebration as well. A good example of this is the Chinese New Year celebration in San Francisco, which is similar to 【2】 we do in Shanghai.

The most famous part of Chinese New Year in San Francisco is the parade, which 【3】(watch) by over three million people every year. Over a hundred entries take part in the parade 【4】(march) through downtown and Chinatown. In the course of the parade, cheering from the crowd is mixed 【5】 music as local community groups wave banners, flags, and carry lanterns. Chinese themed floats will “float” by, including 【6】 long Golden Dragon float that 【7】(take) one hundred people to operate. Local kung fu schools will perform lion dances when firecrackers explode around their feet.

For many Americans, celebrating 【8】 (they) ancestral culture is as 【9】 (importance) as American culture, and they celebrate both. If you have a chance 【10】 (visit) the United States, you may have the chance to see some of the celebrations yourself.

【答案】

【1】cultures

【2】what

【3】is watched

【4】matching

【5】with

【6】a

【7】takes

【8】their

【9】important

【10】to visit

【解析】本文主要叙述了中国的一些传统节日在美国的庆祝方式，简单介绍了春节在旧金山的庆祝方式。

【1】“other ___1___ (culture) that use different calendars each have another celebration as well.”，other常常修饰复数名词，而且其他文化不只一种。故填cultures。

【2】“A good example of this is the Chinese New Year celebration in San Francisco, which is similar to ___2___ we do in Shanghai.”，此处用what作do的宾语，表示“……的事物”，故填what。

【3】“The most famous part of Chinese New Year in San Francisco is the parade, which ___3___ (watch) by over three million people every year.”，the parade和watch之间是被动关系，通篇时态为一般现在时，故填is watched。

【4】“Over a hundred entries take part in the parade ___4___ (march) through downtown and Chinatown.”，parade与march是主动关系，故这里用动词的-ing形式作parade的后置定语，故填marching。

【5】考查固定短语。be mixed with“混合”，文中指欢呼声和歌声混合，故填with。

【6】考查冠词的用法。“ including ___6___ long Golden Dragon float that ___7___ (take) one hundred people to operate.”，long前的冠词应为a。故填a。

【7】“including ___6___ long Golden Dragon float that ___7___ (take) one hundred people to operate.”，a long Golden Dragon float 是主语，为单数名词，所以谓语take应该用单数形式。故填takes。

【8】“For many Americans, celebrating ___8___ (they) ancestral culture is as ___9___ (importance) as American culture, ”，ancestral culture为名词，故要使用they的形容词性物主代词their来修饰名词，表示“他们祖先的文化”，故填their。

【9】“For many Americans, celebrating ___8___ (they) ancestral culture is as ___9___ (importance) as American culture, ”，此处缺少is的表语，故要用importance的形容词形式。故填important。

【10】考查have的用法。“If you have a chance ___10___ (visit) the United States, you may have the chance to see some of the celebrations yourself.”，have a chance to do sth.有机会做某事。故填to visit。

【题目】He knew his colors and shapes, he learned more than 100 English words, and with his own brand of one-liners he established (确立) himself in TV shows, scientific reports, and news articles as perhaps the world’s most famous talking bird.

But last week, Alex, an African parrot, died, obviously of natural causes, said Dr Irene Pepperberg, an expert at Brandeis University and Harvard who studied and worked with the parrot for most of its life and published reports of his progress in scientific journals. The parrot was 31.

Scientists have long debated whether any other species can develop the ability to learn human language. Alex’s language ability was, in some ways, more surprising than the efforts of those animals that have been taught, like Koko, the gorilla (猩猩) trained by Penny Patterson at the Gorilla Foundation in Woodside, or Washoe, another gorilla studied by R. Allen and Beatrice Gardner at the University of Nevada in the 1960s and 1970s.

When Dr Pepperberg, who was then a doctoral student in chemistry at Harvard, found Alex was good at remembering words in a pet store in 1977 and bought it, scientists had little expectation that birds could learn to communicate with humans. Most of the research had been done on pigeons, and was not promising.

But by using novel methods of teaching, Dr Pepperberg taught Alex to learn about 150 words, which he could put into categories. He could count small numbers and tell colors and shapes. “The work changed the way we think of bird brains,” said Diana Reiss, a psychologist at Hunter College who works with dolphins and elephants. “We used to look down upon those birds, but now we look at those brains — at least Alex’s — with some awe.”

A. it died of a strange disease

【题目】For years I have had no idea what I have been doing with my life. I was a 30-year-old lawyer(律师) in New York. But being a lawyer was never my dream or goal in life. I honestly wanted to be a writer. I have a great imagination and would write amazing stories in my head. But I always knew that being a writer was never possible for me because it was a better financial decision to stay a lawyer.

Recently, I couldn’t fall asleep at my usual time of 10 p. m. and when I did fall asleep I had the same dream over and over again. The dream starts with me in the ocean trying to go for a swim and I’m searching for something, but I start to drown(溺水) and have no control over my body. Then a light shines through the waters and when I look up all I can see is myself in a bright white room writing a novel. Then I hear a voice say repeatedly, “Now is the time to try something new!”

It wasn’t just a dream；it was my opportunity to make something good out of my life. That afternoon, I quit my job at the law firm and I couldn’t have been any happier. My life started at 30, and every day since that point I haven’t stopped enjoying life. I started to write and have been on the best-sellers（畅销书） list for the last two months. Things have definitely turned around.

Change is a good thing; it gives us an opportunity to take a chance. So my two favorite words I live by and so should you are “change and chance”.

【1】From the first paragraph, we can know that ________.

A. a lawyer is likely to earn more than a writer

B. it is unlikely that the author becomes a writer

C. the author is a 30-year-old lawyer at present

D. the author prefers to be a lawyer rather than a writer

【2】The second paragraph mainly talks about the author’s ________.

A. strong desire to become a writer

B. difficulty in sleeping at night.

C. wish to have a swim in the waters

D. terrible swimming experience in the ocean.

【3】The best title of the text might be _________.

A. Change and Choice B. Lawyer or Writer

C. Change and Chance D. Risk or Opportunity

【题目】As they walk down the halls during their years together at Shady Side, our boys and girls —— so soon to become men and women —— are learning to think, to work, to question, to be 【1】 and 【2】, to 【3】with others, to laugh at their mistakes and to act 【4】 when 【5】 comes their way.

Sir William Osler, a famous Canadian doctor, 【6】 the value of 【7】 by saying, "No man is really happy 【8】 a hobby, and it makes precious little 【9】 what the outside 【10】 may be."

【题目】One of my father’s favorite __【1】__ (say) as I was growing up was “Try it!”. I couldn’t say I didn’t like something, __【2】_ it might be, until after I tried it. Over the years I’ve come to realize how much of my success I owe to my __【3】_ (accept) of those words as one of my values. My first job was just one I decided to try for a couple of years until I determined what I wanted to do as a career. __【4】_ (actual) I believed I would work for a few years, get __【5】_ (marry), stay home and raise a family, so I didn’t think the job I took mattered that much. I couldn’t __【6】__ (be) more mistaken. I mastered the skills of that __【7】__ (begin) level position and I was given the opportunity to move up through the company into __【8】_ (differ) positions. I accepted each new opportunity with the thought, “Well, I’ll try it; __【9】__ I don’t like it I can always go back to my __【10】__ (early) position.” But I was with the same company for the past 28 years.
