(1)I was only an 11-year-old girl when my parents told me that we would soon move to America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear(忍受)the thought of never hearing the radio program for school children again which I listened to every morning. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving, I even felt a little excited because I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The first four years in America taught me the importance of optimism(乐观), but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools and I (2)________most of my time(2)_________learning the English language.I hardly had any time for fun. Sometimes I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried(再婚), and things became even harder for me. It took me some time to get used to my stepfather(继父). I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times.” I had to do many things for the family since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated(翻译)all kinds of information and took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there. Luckily, things got better and better later and almost all common troubles went away at last From those experiences I have learned one important rule: Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! 小题1:将(1)句译成中文:_________________________________________________________ 小题2:在(2)处填入两个合适的词,使句意完整,上下文通顺:__________; __________ 小题3:回答问题:Why did the writer feel excited when they were leaving? _______________________________________________________________________________ 小题4:在文中找出此句的同义句: Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. _______________________________________________________________________________ 小题5: 在文中找出主题句:___________________________________________________________ |

解析
试题分析:短文大意:作者从他的经历中学到了一条重要的规则:好事情一定是在最后发生。请你遇到困难时不要放弃,只要坚持,幸运总会到来! 小题1:英译汉:当我的父母告诉我我们将移居到美国的时候,我仅仅是个11岁的小女孩。 小题2:根据下一句I hardly had any time for fun. 可推知本句句意:我将大部分时间都用来学习英语。所以在空白处填写devoted;to。 小题3:根据第二段中When we were leaving, I even felt a little excited because I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. 可知该作答:Because she thought about all the places she was going to see (-the strange and magical places she had known only from books and pictures)。 小题4:Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other.的意思是:过了一段时间之后,我的继父和我才彼此习惯了。也就是说:习惯继父花费了我一段时间。即它与文中句子It took me some time to get used to my stepfather.同义。 小题5:从短文最后From those experiences I have learned one important rule: Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little!即可得到主题句:Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! |

Several weeks ago, our headmaster, Mr. Gaudi, told us that our school had been chosen to compete on Smart Aleck—a game show which my best friend Carla and I 16 love. Carla has a good imagination, and I know a lot of history, so we thought we’d be good 17 for the team. A few days later, Mr. Gaudi held a meeting with everyone interested in the 18 . He told us that Smart Aleck uses a five-member team. He also said that three more people would be needed as backup(替补). 19 , four times that many students were at the meeting. So Mr. Gaudi said we would have a 20 and the top eight scorers(得分者) would become the team and the backup. Everybody agreed that this was a 21 way to decide. Yesterday, all of the hopefuls went to the dining hall after school. We would have to decide the starting line-up(阵容). Mr. Gaudi acted as the host. After a few hours, all the 22 on the team were chosen except one. Carla and I tied(打成平手) for that last position. We had to hold a one-on-one competition 23 the two of us. The winner would be on the team and the loser would be the backup. Midway through our two-person competition, I was starting to pull ahead(领先). 24 I saw the look on Carla"s face. I waited for a second and knew what I had to do. As much as I wanted to be on Smart Aleck, Carla wanted 25 even more. So, starting with my next question, I held back and let Carla 26 , just by a little bit. She felt sorry for my not being on the team as she 27 she would be on the show. And since I will go as backup, I’ll still have the fun of 28 the show up close. Was I cheating(欺骗) by not trying as hard as I could? I don’t think so. No one noticed, and Carla and I didn’t 29 it. It won’t hurt the team 30 Carla will be a very good competitor on the real show. I think that making my best friend happy was the right thing to do.

Some students like to translate(翻译) when they practice speaking English. Translation is a very difficult exercise. During a conversation, we don’t really have time to translate what we understand. When we use translation, we don’t develop the necessary reflexes (反应能力) needed to speak and understand a foreign language. It is important to build up reflexes right from the beginning. It will help you later when your skills are good enough to take a conversation. Here is some advice on how to build up reflexes when you only have basic words and grammar. Relax! No one is checking you except yourself! Look at each communication experience as an adventure. Try to relax first when you speak English. You will pick up on small details. Context(上下文) is your friend. What is context? It means the situation in which something happens and that helps to understand it. (2)We can make good guesses about what is being said by using the context. It will be easy when you think about the context. You will feel much more comfortable and confident if you remember that. Ask questions what you want to know. After you have proudly asked for tickets at the train station, the booking-office clerk (售票员) spoke a long sentence to you about the place and the time. You may be a little unclear or have only understood a part of it. However, you can ask questions about what you want to know, such as, “Did you say…?” and “Would you repeat that more slowly?”. So that you can easily move the communication forward. Use body language. Use body language to go with your words when you __(1)___ to learn a __(1)_____ language. The person you are speaking to only wants to understand you and will be carefully listening to you. As you become more proficient (熟练的) in your second language, you will depend(依靠) more on the language and less on body language. But there is no shame for a beginner.

When I was ten, my sisters and I were amazed at our neighbor’s Christmas tree. We returned home from their house and decided that we must have one of our own. In our house we never had enough money for a Christmas tree. In fact, we insisted so much that my father had no choice but to agree. “Yes!” he finally said.“This year we will have a Christmas tree.” Our mouths dropped open at the thought of having our own tree. Then Dad said,“I’ll do it myself.” We followed him around the house as he gathered up the materials he would need, We all sat close to him, carefully watching everything he did. He passed the thread around the first nail on the corner of a box, then back down to the second nail on the box, and up again to the nail, until right there before our eyes a green Christmas tree began to take shape. He carefully did the same with all of the 50 nails in the box and when he had finished, he said,“Now you can decorate it.” I don’t remember where the decorations came from, but they were red and small and to us they just looked so beautiful and perfect for our tree. When we finished decorating it, we proudly invited all our friends over to see our Christmas tree. We were so happy, not only because it looked so pretty, but because my father had made it himself. It truly was the most beautiful Christmas tree we had ever seen. Years later, things got better and Dad was able to buy a proper Christmas tree which we would happily decorate.

Are you in a bad mood? Don’t worry! According to a new Australian study, a bad mood can actually be good for you. The study showed that being sad could help people to judge others more correctly and was also good for the memory. The study was carried out by Professor Joseph Forgas at the University of New South Wales.“People in a bad mood paid more attention to the people and things around them than happy people .Happy people were more likely to believe anything they were told,”said Forgas For the study, Forgas and his team did a lot of experiments. During the experiments, they made the participants(参加者) feel happy or sad by watching films and thinking about good or bad things of the past. In one of the experiments, happy and sad participants were asked to judge whether some wrong things were true or not. The results showed that people in a bad mood were less likely to believe that these things were true. People in a bad mood were also less likely to make mistakes when they were asked to remember the things that they saw. The study also showed that sad people were better at talking about their thoughts in written style. In fact, the study said that a slightly bad mood could help to make communication more successful. 小题1:The study was completed by _______________.A.sad participants | B.happy participants | C.Professor Joseph Forgas | D.Forgas’ friends | 小题2:Being sad is good for the following except ______________.A.one’s judgment | B.one’s diet | C.one’s memory | D.one’s communication | 小题3:.
