In the village where I grew up, everyone knew an old man, who lived a simply life and spent all his time painting. The villagers used to admiring his works and he often gave his paintings to his friends. Whenever he was offered money, he would not take them. He said he painted for a pleasure. He once gave one of his paintings to my father, whom actually wasn’t interested in art. Years later I found it in our old house. By that time the old man has died and people started to recognize his paintings as great works of art, which was worth lots of money. An art gallery made me an offer of $5,000 for this painting and I nearly sold it, so then I decided not to. It always reminds me my childhood and of the old man who didn’t really want to make money by paint.

【答案】

【1】simply→simple

【2】admiring→admire

【3】them→it

【4】去掉a

【5】whom→who

【6】has→had

【7】was→were

【8】so→but

【9】me后加of

【10】paint→painting

【解析】

试题分析:作者村子里有一位老人擅长作画,却不为人所赏识,直到去世才体现出了他的画的价值,作者有幸收藏了一幅,但是却没有卖。

【1】simply→simple 考查形容词。此处为形容词作定语,修饰后面的名词,故用simple。

【2】admiring→admire 考查动词。此处为固定搭配:used to do“过去常常做……”。

【3】them→it 考查代词。此处指代前面的money,是不可数名词,用代词it指代。

【4】去掉a 考查冠词。此处pleasure为不可数名词,for pleasure也可看成固定搭配,“为了乐趣”。故去掉a。

【5】whom→who 考查定语从句关系词。此处为非限制性定语从句,缺少主语,先行词为人,应用who。

【6】has→had 考查时态。根据By that time可知,此处表示过去的过去,故用过去完成时,故把has改为had。

【7】was→were 此处为非限制性定语从句,主语which指代前面的works,复数,故was改为were。

【8】so→but 考查连接词。画廊要出高价买,但作者没卖,故此处为转折关系,故把so改为but。

【9】me后加of 考查固定搭配。remind sb of使某人想起……。

【10】paint→painting 考查非谓语动词。前面是介词by,后面接动词要用动名词形式。

A short guide to surviving a post-election Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving in the US is a celebration of the blessings of the previous year. This time it included one of the most divisive presidential campaigns. Even now it is over, the possibility of argument has not disappeared. Here we have some tips for you to survive this Thanksgiving.

●Cover up any signal of union

It might be fine to have your Hillary bumper sticker in New York, but it isn't going to go down well in Wyoming, where 70% voted Trump. Similarly, your "I love Trump" T-shirt will probably not be popular in California, where 62% voted Hillary.【1】.

●Practice your facial expression beforehand

They say a picture tells 1,000 words. Your face is the same. 【2】You need to invest some energy in making sure your true feelings are completely buried. Ten minutes in front of the mirror should be enough to perfect your neutral face. 【3】Well, we suggest closing them. Easy.

●Have a list of neutral topics for the dinner table

The weather is A favorite subject of the British. It is inoffensive, bland and can provide a good half-hour's chat, if done well. Everyone has an opinion on whether or not it is colder/hotter/wetter/windier than last year/10 years ago/when they were little. You can involve the whole family.【4】With Clinton and Trump supporters largely split on whether climate change exists, it could inadvertently lead to politics. So it's maybe trickier for Americans than the weather-worn Brits. 【5】After all, the rivalry between your American football team of choice and your cousin's may have a long and vitriolic history, but it is likely to be less poisonous than the current differences in your politics.

A. Sports may not be a neutral subject.

B. Biting your lip is simply not enough this holiday season.

C. There are hundreds of outstanding topics for Thanksgiving.

D. There is one slight downfall to this particular favorite.

E. Are you one of those people whose eyes always tell the truth?

F. So we advise leaving the T-shirt at home, and covering up the stickers.

G. It would be fine, if people of different opinions would not spend Thanksgiving together.

【题目】With the rapid development of China's economy, more and more foreigners begin to learn Chinese because they are beginning to realize the importance and growing influence of China. Pupils in Warwickshire will soon be learning Mandarin after new links were forged(建立联系) with a region in China.

Head teachers from the county spent a week in Shenzhen in South-east China, making links with schools and touring different education establishments.

Throughout the high profile(引人注目) visit led by our county education officer, Eric Wood, our group was made to feel very welcome and attracted a great deal of interest.

【题目】A new study suggests that recent college graduates have a good chance of finding employment. The website Career Builder published the survey. The website reports on the U.S. job market. It found that 67 percent of employers plan to hire new college graduates this year. They also found that 27 percent of employers will be hiring recent graduates for jobs that pay up to $ 57,000 a year.

Career Builder said the improving economy and the rise in retirements of older workers is raising the need for young professionals.

Another Career Builder survey of 2,186 hiring professionals found that they worry new college graduates lack professional experience. They blame universities for placing too much attention on teaching academic subjects that do not relate to real jobs. The hiring professionals suggest that schools should give more support to experience gained through internships (实习). They also said universities are not preparing their graduates well enough for jobs that involve (涉及) new technologies.

The survey found that business, computer science and engineering fields were seeking new workers the most. The biological sciences, architecture and education fields needed fewer new workers.

Career Builder’s advice to young graduates looking for jobs was to follow companies they like or social media.

The website also suggested students write blogs about their career interests.
