【解析】

这是一篇新闻报道。本文主要报道了MrsRoundy对中国广场舞的感受,MrsRoundy过去跳芭蕾舞,不习惯中国的广场舞,罗迪现在已经拥有了足够的信心在队伍中间跳舞,而她有时还会展示自己的美国舞步。除了舞蹈之外,她和丈夫也一直积极参与社区生活、教英语、帮助年老的邻居。

1考查冠词。teacher为可数名词,在此处表示泛指,且U.S首字母的发音为辅音音素,所以用不定冠词a来修饰teacher。表示“一名美国退休教师”故填a

2考查副词。currently为副词修饰动词teaching故填 currently

3考查介词。dance to the tunes of Chinese songs“在中文歌曲的伴奏下跳舞” to为介词是“伴随着”的意思。故填to

4考查一般过去时的被动语态。分析句子可知,本句为一般过去时,主语she与谓语invite为被动,所以用一般现在时的被动语态。故填was invited

5考查动名词。by 为介词后接动名词作宾语。故填exchanging

6考查从属连词。分析句意可知,尽管对她来说语言并不是最困难的事情,但掌握中国的舞蹈才是最难的。所以本句为While/Although/Though引导的让步状语从句。故填While/Although/Though

7考查名词的复数。分析句子可知,宾语从句的谓语为“dance”,所以主语为dancers,且dancer为可数名词。故填dancers

8考查形容词。分析句子可知,本句为主系表结构,主语为it,所以表语为confusing,以后缀 -ing 结尾的形容词主要用于说明事物,表示事物的性质或特征。故填confusing

9考查形容词。分析句子可知,定语从句为主系表结构。分析句意可知,Roundy夫人说他们还一起出去吃饭和实地考察,这对她来说是难忘的经历。所以空处应填forgettable的反义词unforgettable。故填unforgettable

10考查动词不定式。分析句子可知,本句为动词不定式作后置定语。故填to understand

关于-ing形容词与-ed形容词的区别,比较准确的表述应该是:

1. 以后缀 –ed结尾的形容词(ashamed, delighted, excited, frightened, interested, moved, pleased, surprised, worried)通常用于说明人,不用于说明事物,即使它们所修饰的名词是事物,那它们指的也是与该事物相关的人。

2. 以后缀 -ing 结尾的形容词(delighting, exciting, frightening, interesting, moving, surprising, worrying )主要用于说明事物,表示事物的性质或特征,若用它们说明人,则表示此人具有此性质或特征。

分析小题8可知,本句为主系表结构,主语为it,所以表语为confusing,以后缀 -ing 结尾的形容词主要用于说明事物,表示事物的性质或特征。故填confusing

【题目】Would you buy a car that released calming smells into the air when you are stuck in heavy traffic? Would you buy a robot that smells like a human being?

Many people have seen the 3-D computer-made environments of virtual (虚拟的) reality (VR). Now these virtual worlds will not just look and sound real. Researchers have created VR environments that even smell like the real things. With the new technology, users open a virtual door and step into a new environment, like a rainforest. After they enter this virtual world, special equipment releases forest-like smells into the air to make the experience seem more real.

Suzanne Fisher-Murray said, “It is a really wonderful experience that you have because you, re exploring this environment and you have smells with it.”

In the United States, Smell-O-Vision was designed to provide smells during the showing of a movie. The Smell-O-Vision system was once popular in the 1960s.

The uses for smell technology are not just limited to films and the performing arts. Researchers showed a computer program where users could imagine themselves driving a car. The system included a special smell- spraying machine. Dmitrijs Dmitrenko said, “We want to deliver the smell of lavender (薫衣草) every time the person drives over the speed limit. We choose lavender because it’s a very calming smell.”

Scientists are experimenting with smell instead of sounds or image-based alerts on telecommunications equipment. And businesses are already using smell to influence people’s behavior. “Not only...in stores…But on the other side, you can create and stimulate (刺激) immediate buying,” Maggioni said. “So you’re in a library and you smell coffee and actually you are unconsciously having the need to drink a coffee.”
