來自：要學習網 1.先通讀，后細讀
閱讀一篇文章，最好采用先通讀、再細讀的策略。首先要快速瀏覽全文，這一點非常重要。因為一篇文章是一個整體，是圍繞一個中心思想組織的。如果我們了解了文章大體講的是什么，有了整個篇章的結構模式，就有利于我們理順句子或段落間的關系，準確地把握文章的主旨，同時也有利于我們在解題過程中有重點地細讀部分內容。 一篇文章無論長短，要做到一口氣讀下來。對于生詞，只要不妨礙我們理解主要內容，可暫時放下不管。如果我們讀讀停停，左顧右盼，往往會把文章完整的體系讀破了，有礙于對文章整體的理解。在掌握了文章的大體內容后，我們再根據需要解答的問題逐句細讀，認真分析詞義及句子結構，從而更準確地把握文章的具體內容。 Passage A 閱讀理解 An old friend from California called from the airport to tell me that he had arrived. I was not able to leave the office, but I had made plans for his arrival. After explaining (解釋) where my new house was, I told him that I had left the key under the doormat (門墊). Since I knew it would be pretty late before I could get home, I suggested that he make himself at home and help himself to anything that was in the refrigerator(電冰箱).① Two hours later my friend phoned me from the house. At the moment, he said, he was listening to some of my records after having had a delicious meal. Now, he said, he was drinking a glass of orange juice. When I asked him if he had had any difficulty finding the house, he answered that the only problem was that he had not been able to find the key under the doormat, but luckily, the living room window by the apple tree had been left open and he had climbed in through the window.

I remember one birthday party some friends of mine had for me when I was a student at the university. Of course, I had told my best friend Henry that I didn't want a party and I made him promise he wouldn't do anything. He agreed. I should have known better than to believe him.② On the day of my birthday, we got home from school at about, oh, I don't know, three or half past three. We went inside and as usual I went into the bathroom and started to close the door when suddenly from behind the shower curtain (浴簾), a kind of strange female(女) voice started singing, “Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you.” And then from all over the room, people joined in. There were about fifteen people hiding everywhere in the room. They had got my roommate's key and got in earlier.

A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fairweather friends.① They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities (品質) of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability (可靠). Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person's place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener. At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults (過錯) in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.② Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on (信賴) a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me. There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun.③ We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience (經驗) and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor (幽默), too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me. When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I've found a friend! 根據文章內容，選擇正確答案： 1. Which of the following qualities the writer thinks is the most important in choosing a friend? A. understanding. B. honesty. C. reliability. D. a sense of humor. 2. If you have fair weather friends, ______ . A. they will give you all that they have when you need help B. you will be refused when you get into trouble C. you will become rich D. you can be sure that you get real friends 3. Good friends need to ______. A. always point out each other's mistakes B. be helped with money C. understand each other's feelings D. have money or luck 4. This passage mainly discuss ______ .

Some are always 1 you, but don't understand you. Some say only a few words to you, but understand you. Many people will step in your life, but only 2 friends leave footprints (腳印). I shall always recall (回憶) the autumn and the girl with the 3 . She will always bring back the friendship between us. I know she will always be my best friend. It was the golden season. I could see the yellow leaves 4 on the cool 5 . In such a season, I liked walking alone in the leaves, 6 to the sound of them. Autumn is a 7 season and life is uninteresting. The free days always get me 8 . But one day, the sound of a violin 9 into my ears like a stream (小溪) flowing in the mountains. I was so surprised that I jumped to see what it was. A young girl, standing in the wind, was 10 in playing her violin. I had 11 seen her before. The music was so nice that I listened quietly. Lost in the music,① I didn't know that I had been 12 there for so long but my existence (存在) did not seem to disturb her. Leaves were still falling. Every day she played the violin in the corner of the building 13 I went downstairs to watch her performance. I was the only listener.

It was your listening every day that 18 me.” she said. “In fact, it was your playing 19 gave me a meaningful autumn,②” I answered, “Let's be friends.” The girl smiled, and so did I. I never heard her play again in my life. I no longer went downstairs to listen like before. Only thick leaves were left behind. But I will always remember the fine figure (身影) of the girl. She is like a 20 —so short, so bright, like a shooting star giving off so much light③ that it makes the autumn beautiful. 根據文章內容，選擇正確答案： 1. A. with B. for C. against D. to 2.

B. 由第一段第一句 “...called...to tell me that he had arrived.”可知。 2. D. 細節(jié)題，由第二段 “...he had not been able to find the key...”可知。 3. D. 以第二段朋友所說的“apple tree”為線索，推知朋友誤入鄰居家。 Passage B 本文講述了作者的朋友們想為他開生日party以給他意外驚喜的事。 1. D. 由第三段 “I went into the bathroom...when suddenly from behind...”可知“我”并不知情。 2. C. 由第二段 “We went inside and as usual I went into the bathroom...” 推知。 3. D. 由最后一段 “They had all planned to come out of...just at the same time”推知。 Passage C 本文論述了一個好朋友必須具備的四個品質：理解、誠實、可靠和幽默。 1.

A. 結合后面一句可知，“許多人與你在一起(with you)， 卻不能理解你”。 2. B. 只有真正的朋友，才能留在心中。 3. D. 結合后面的內容可知，“我”每天去聽小姑娘拉小提琴。 4. D. 金黃的樹葉在秋風中隨風飄動。 5. A. 葉子是在風中飄動。 6. B. 現在分詞用作伴隨狀語。 7. C. 秋天本是收獲的季節(jié)，但是此處“我”卻獨自一人漫步在落葉之上，與下文的生活的無趣相對應。 8. C. 短語 get sb. down 意為“使人泄氣； 使人疲倦”。 9. A. 琴聲像山澗溪流一樣，流進(flow into)“我”的耳畔。 10. A. 短語be lost in (doing) sth. “陷入……之中”。此處指小姑娘正在聚精會神地拉小提琴。 11. B. 結合上下文可知，“我”以前與小姑娘素不相識。 12. C. “我”沉浸在優(yōu)美的琴聲中，不自覺地在風中佇立。 13. C. 從下文可知，“我”并不是聽到琴聲才下樓，而是因為兩人心有靈犀，每次幾乎是在小姑娘拉琴的同時，“我”也到了樓下。因此這里應用when。 14. A. 與上文的“生活無趣”相對，琴聲讓“我”覺得“生活有趣”。 15. D. 從整個句意來看，這里是一個讓步狀語從句。though表“盡管”，合乎文意。 16. A. 與平日不同，琴聲突然停止，小姑娘朝“我”走來，讓“我”驚訝。 17. B. 由下文可知，小姑娘即將離開，故臉上閃現出悲傷的神色。 18. C. 在小姑娘眼中，“我”每天來聽琴對她是一種無聲的激勵。 19. A. 此處是一個強調句型。 20. B. 結合全文的意思可知，在“我”看來，小姑娘就像一個夢，讓“我”久久難忘。 1.When I asked him if he had had any difficulty finding the house...當我問他找房子是否有困難時…… (Line 14, Passage A) have difficulty (in) doing sth. 意為“在做某事方面有困難”，也可以說：have trouble (in) doing sth. 如： I have some difficulty understanding him. 我理解他有些困難。 Did you have any trouble in finding his house? 你找到他家有困難嗎？ 英語中還有have difficulty with sth. 和have trouble with sth. 如： I dont have much difficulty with English grammar. 我學英語語法并沒有太多的困難。 I hope you won't have any trouble with the work. 我希望你應付這工作沒有困難。 2.The girl smiled, and so did I. 小姑娘笑了，我也笑了。(Line 29, Passage D) “So + be(have，助動詞或情態(tài)動詞)+ (另一)主語 ”用于表示某人與前者具有相同的肯定情況，意為“某人也一樣”。如： I like dogs; so does he. 我喜歡狗，他也如此。 He can speak good English and so can she. 他能說一口好英語，她也能。 如果對前面所說的內容加以肯定，那就不倒裝。如： —Jack won the first prize in the contest. 杰克在比賽中獲一等獎。 —So he did. 確實如此。 2.略讀 略讀(skimming)是利用較短的時間粗略地閱讀全文的閱讀策略，其主要目的是迅速抓住文章的主旨大意或作者的寫作意圖。這是一種高效的、有選擇性的、有針對性的閱讀技巧。掌握略讀這一技巧的關鍵就在于學會在閱讀過程中區(qū)別文章的重要部分和非重要部分，全局部分和枝節(jié)部分。一些次要信息要大膽略去不讀，迅速找出topic sentence，即找出概括全段大意的句子。 在運用這一方法閱讀文章時，要特別注意：①文章的標題；②文章的首句或引導性段落；③文章尾部的結論性詞語；④反映段落中心思想的主題句。如果我們找到了每段的主題句，再將這些主題句集中在一起，就差不多能夠把握住全文的中心內容了。 Passage A 閱讀理解 What do you think of British people and American people? You might think that there are no differences between the people in the two countries. After all they speak the same language, don't they? But if you ask a British or an American person, the differences are quite great. What do British people think Americans are like? The British think Americans are very strange.

But you should not be upset (難受的) if your English friends don't invite you home. It doesn't mean they don't like you! Dinner parties usually start between 7 and 8 p.m., and end at about 11. Ask your hosts what time you should arrive. It's polite to bring flowers, chocolates or a bottle of wine as a gift. Usually the evening starts with drinks and snacks(小吃).① Do you want to be more polite? Say how much you like the room, or the picture on the wall. But remember—it’s not polite to ask how much things cost. In many families, the husband sits at one end of the table and the wife sits at the other end. They eat with their guests. You'll probably start the meal with soup or something small, then you'll have meat or fish with vegetables, and then dessert, followed by coffee. It's polite to finish everything on your plate and to take more if you want it.② Did you enjoy the evening? Call your hosts the next day, or write them a short thankyou letter.

English is among them. Scientists say that this sleepstudy method greatly speeds language learning. They say that the ordinary person can learn two or three times as much during sleep as in the same period during the day—and this does not affect (影響) his rest in any way. However, sleepteaching will only put into your head what you have studied already while you are awake.① In one experiment, ten lessons were broadcast over the radio for two weeks.

At 11 p.m. a lullaby (催眠曲) was broadcast to send the student to sleep and for the next three hours the radio in a soft and low voice broadcast the lesson again into his sleeping ears. At 2 a.m. a sharp noise was sent over the radio to wake the sleeping student up for a few minutes to go over the lesson. The soft music sent him back to rest again while the radio went on.② At 5 oclock his sleep ended and he had to go through the lesson again for three hours before breakfast. 根據文章內容，選擇正確答案： 1. By the learnwhileyousleep method, one____ .

I think it's important to see as much of a country as you can, but it is difficult to travel around Nepal. The hospital let me have a few days holiday, so I decided to go into the jungle (叢林) and I asked a Nepalese guide, Kamal Rai, to go with me. We started our trip at six in the morning with two elephants carrying our equipment. It was hot, but Kamal made me wear shoes and trousers to protect me from snakes.① In the jungle there was a lot of wildlife, but we were trying to find big cats, especially tigers. We climbed onto the elephants backs to see better, but it is unusual to find tigers in the afternoon because they sleep in the daytime. Then, in the distance, we saw a tiger, and Kamal told me to be very quiet. We moved nearer and found a dead deer. This was the tiger’s lunch! I started to feel very frightened. We heard the tiger a second before we saw it. It jumped out suddenly, five hundred kilos plus and four meters long. It grabbed (咬住) Kamal's leg between its teeth, but I succeeded (成功) in pulling Kamal away.② One of our elephants ran at the tiger and made it go back into the grass, so we quickly escaped to let the tiger eat its lunch. That night it was impossible to sleep. 根據文章內容，選擇正確答案： 1. The writer of the passage must be____ . A. a Nepalese doctor B. a foreign tourist C. a Nepalese traveler D. a foreign doctor 2.

Some watch TV or go to the movies; others take part in sports. It depends on individual interests. There are many different ways to spend our spare time. Almost everyone has some kinds of hobbies. It may be anything from collecting stamps to making model airplanes. Some hobbies are very expensive, but others dont cost anything at all. Some collections are worth a lot of money; others are valuable only to their owners. I know a man who has a coin collection worth several thousand dollars. A short time ago he bought a rare (稀有的) fiftycent piece worth S｜250! He was very happy about his buying and thought the price was reasonable (合理的). On the other hand, my youngest brother collects matchboxes.① He has almost 600 of them but I doubt (懷疑) if they are worth any money. However, to my brother they are very valuable. Nothing makes him happier than to find a new matchbox for his collection.② That’s what a hobby means, I guess. It is something we like to do in our spare time simply for the fun of it.

For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that were also enjoyed by the inhabitants (居民) of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants will become unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help a country's economy (經濟). It is important to think about the people of a destination (目的地) country and how tourism affects(影響)them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the wellbeing of local inhabitants. Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy will suffer. On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people will lose jobs.① Businesses will also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, broad roads, and other things needed by places of interest. For example, a fivestar tourism hotel needs as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel will lose money. Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities (支撐設施) as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, and sewers to handle waste and water② . All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost. 根據文章內容，選擇正確答案： 1. Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the part that goes before this passage? A. It is very important to develop tourism. B. Building roads and hotels is necessary. C. Support facilities are highly important. D. Planning is very important to tourism. 2. Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT ____. A. a bad effect on other industries B. a change of tourists customs C. overcrowdedness of places of interest D. pressure (壓力) on traffic 3.Not enough tourism can lead to ____. A. an increase of unemployment (失業(yè)) B. a decrease(減退)in tourist attractions C. the higher cost of support facilities D. a rise in price and a fall in pay 難句注釋 ?、?On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people will lose jobs. 另一方面，如果旅游業(yè)不能得到充分的發(fā)展，那么許多人將會面臨失業(yè)的問題。 Total words:267 Reading time:____ Reading speed: ____ ?、?There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, and sewers to handle waste and water. 還需要一些配套設施，包括交通，電力和處理垃圾、廢水的衛(wèi)生設施等。 Passage D 完形填空 I arrived in the United States on February 6, 1996, but I remember my first day here very clearly.

We started our trip at six in the morning with two elephants carrying our equipment. 早上六點鐘我們開始了旅途，兩頭大象馱著我們的設備。(Line 8, Passage A) trip 是非正式用語，強調一次往返的短途旅程。journey 則比較正式，常指時間和距離都較長的陸路旅行，不一定最終要回到出發(fā)地。而travel 則泛指旅行、游歷，尤指國外旅行，但無路程之義。 如： Mother took me downtown on a shopping trip. 媽媽帶我進城買東西了。 We made a journey to the Northeast of China. 我們在中國的東北做了一次旅行。 He has just returned from his travels. 他旅行剛回來。 2. The value in dollars is not important, but the pleasure it gives us is. 金錢的價值并不重要，重要的是它(業(yè)余愛好)給我們帶來的快樂。(Last line, Passage B) not...but... 意為“不是……而是……” 連接兩個并列的成分，表示意思上的轉折。如： He went not to help his father but to borrow money from him. 他并不是去幫他父親忙而是去向他父親借錢。 注意：當not...but...連接兩主語時，謂語動詞要與緊靠它的主語在人稱和數上一致。如： Not he but I am a doctor. 不是他而是我是一名醫(yī)生。 Not the teacher but the students are going there. 不是老師而是學生們將去那里。 4.默讀 專家認為，做閱讀理解不應該是讀，而應該是看。默讀有利于發(fā)展閱讀者的內部語言，有利于強化理解，有利于提高閱讀速度。測試表明，我們朗讀時，一分鐘能念125個字就已很不錯了，而默讀時，每分鐘可讀150個字以上，有人閱讀小說時甚至可達每分鐘600字。 默讀時一定要做到如下三點：①全神貫注。這是有效閱讀最需要的心理素質。②積極思維。默讀有利于思維活動的開展，有利于深層理解。③減少回視。回視率高不僅限制了速度，也會對內容的理解產生支離破碎的影響。 培養(yǎng)默讀習慣最好的方法是擴大視幅快讀，讓你的嘴跟不上你的閱讀速度；我們也可用手指壓在嘴上或按住喉部，這樣就會逐漸改掉嘴唇抖動的壞習慣。 Passage A 閱讀理解 As one comes to some crossroads, he or she sees a sign which says that drivers have to stop when they come to the main road ahead.① At other crossroads, drivers have to go slow, but they do not actually have to stop unless, of course, there is something coming along the main road; and at still others, they do not have either to stop or to go slow, because they are themselves on the main road. Mr Williams, who was always a very careful driver, was driving home from work one evening when he came to a crossroad. It had a “SLOW” sign. He slowed down when he came to the main road, looked both ways to see that nothing was coming, and then drove across without stopping completely. At once he heard a police whistle (口哨聲), so he pulled into the side of the road and stopped.② A policeman walked over to him with a notebook and a pen in his hand and said, “You didnt stop at that crossing.” “But the sign there doesn't say ‘STOP’.” answered Mr Williams, “It just says ‘SLOW’, and I did go slow.” The policeman looked around him, and a look of surprise came over his face.③ Then he put his notebook and pen away, scratched (抓) his head and said, “Well，I'm in the wrong street！” 根據文章內容，選擇正確答案： 1.

Some accidents are not serious and some are. We read about such accidents nearly every day in the newspapers. It is wrong for people to think that accidents take place only on the roads or highways, or even at work places. Home accidents are just as common. Because very few home accidents are reported, people come to think that there are few accidents which happen in homes. There have been many cases where people fall to their deaths from highrise flats.① Children often fall over while coming down the stairs. Old people may slip (滑跤) on wet floors if they are not careful. Nowadays there are a lot of modern electrical appliances (電器) such as ricecookers which make life easy for the modern housewives. These appliances can kill if they are not used in the proper way. Gas stoves (煤氣灶) used for cooking are also dangerous if they are not properly used. They may cause burns or, in more serious cases, even fires.② But all such accidents can be stopped if we are careful and follow simple rules of safety. For example, it is unwise for people to try repairing their own electrical appliances if they do not know how to. It is safer to get them repaired by an electrician (電工). 根據文章內容，選擇正確答案： 1. Accidents take place ____. A. mostly in homes B. mostly on roads and highways C. mostly in factories D. almost everywhere 2. Which of the following accidents may NOT happen in homes? A. People may fall to death from high buildings. B. People may be knocked down by cars on the roads. C. Gas stoves may cause burns or even fires. D. People may be killed by an electrical appliance. 3. People are advised____ . A. to avoid using electrical appliances B. to repair their own electrical appliances C. not to repair their own electrical appliances D. not to get their electrical appliances fixed 難句注釋 ?、賂here have been many cases where people fall to their deaths from highrise flats. 曾有過很多人從高樓摔下而亡的例子。 Total words:223 Reading time:____ Reading speed: ____ ?、赥hey may cause burns or, in more serious cases, even fires. 它們會導致燒傷，甚至更嚴重的會引起火災。 Passage C 閱讀理解 Ellen Parker was worried about her health. She could not walk very quickly and it was difficult for her to climb stairs. She was soon out of breath.① “I suppose I had better go to the doctor.” she thought. She went to the doctor and told him her problem. “I'm not at all surprised.” he said, “I know what your problem is.” He examined her and then gave her some advice. “If you dont do what I say, Mrs Parker,” he said, “You will have a heart attack (心臟病發(fā)作). It could kill you.” Ellen was very worried as she left the doctors. She knew that she had to take his advice but that it would not be easy and it would take time. The next day she went shopping. The first shop she went into was a butcher shop (肉鋪). “I'd like ten pounds of steak (牛排), please.” she said. “Certainly, madam.” the butcher replied and went into the cold room and found a large piece of steak. He brought the huge piece of meat back into the shop and placed it on the scale (稱). “That's just ten pounds.” he said. “That's big enough.” Mrs Parker said. The butcher worked out the price.② “At S｜4.99 a pound that will be S｜49.90, please. Would you like me to cut it up into smaller pieces for you?” “Oh, I don't want to buy the meat.” Mrs Parker said. “If you don't want to buy it,” the butcher replied angrily, “Why did you ask me to get it for you?” “My doctor told me that I am too heavy and have to lose ten pounds. I wanted to see what ten pounds of meat looked like.” 根據文章內容，選擇正確答案： 1. Why did Ellen Parker visit the doctor? A. She had a heart attack. B. She had a problem with her health. C.

It is something far less unhappy than you are called in by your leader to explain why you did this and that or why you did not do this or that.② At some time or another, every one of us has to “face the music”, especially (尤其) as children. We can all remember father’s angry words “I want to talk to you”. And only because we did not listen to him. What a bad thing it was! In the middle or at the end of every term, we students have to “face the music”. The result of the exam will decide whether we will face the music or not. If...that means parents cold faces and contempt (輕視) of the teachers and classmates. “To face the music” is well known to every American, young or old. It is at least 100 years old. It really means that you have to do something, no matter (無論) how terrible the whole thing might be, because you know you have no choice. 根據文章內容，選擇正確答案： 1. “To face the music” means “to____ ”. A. do something that we dont like to B. go to the theatre C. go to the music show D. do something that we want to 2. In the third paragraph, “If...”really means “If____ ”. A. we don't do a good job B. we get an“A” in the exam C. the exam is easy D. the exam is difficult 3. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. “To face the music” is well known in the United States. B. “To face the music” has a history of more than 100 years. C. The young Americans know what “to face the music” means. D. Only the old in the United States know the meaning of “to face the music”. 難句注釋 ?、買 guess Ill have to face the music. 我想這下我得自食其果了。 face the music 指由于自己的決定或行為而接受批評、承擔后果等。 Total words:200 Reading time:____ Reading speed: ____ ?、贗t is something far less unhappy than you are called in by your leader to explain why you did this and that or why you did not do this or that. 它要比你被老板喊進去解釋為什么這樣那樣做，或者為什么不這樣那樣做要難過得多。 Passage B 閱讀理解 Julia lived in the countryside, but one year she decided to visit the capital city to do some shopping and to see the sights.

We must find out their customs, so that they will not think us illmannered. Here are some examples of the things that a wellmannered person does or does not do. If you visit a Chinese family you should knock at the door first. When the door opens, you'll not move before the host says “Come in, please!”. After you enter the room, you wouldnt sit down until the host asks you to take a seat. When a cup of tea is put on a teatable before you or sent to your hand, youll say “Thank you”① and receive it with your two hands, not one hand, or they'll think you are illmannered.

In European countries, even though shoes sometimes become very dirty, this is not done.② In a Malay (馬來西亞的) house, a guest never finishes the food on the table. He leaves a little to show that he has had enough. In England, a guest always finishes a drink or the food to show that he has enjoyed it.

Before you leave home for a feast (宴會), have a small, lowfat snack (小吃).This may help to keep you from getting too excited before delicious foods. Begin with clear soup and fruit or vegetables.

They will attend U.S. schools, meet U.S. teenagers, and form impressions (印象) of the real American teenagers. American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and have a new understanding of the rest of the world. Here is a twoway student exchange in action.① Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George's family. In return, George's son, Mike, spent a year in Fred's home in America. Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months study, the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected — much harder ②. Students rose respectfully (尊敬地) when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities (活動). Family life, too, was different. The family's word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual (個人). Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car. “Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.” At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. “I suppose I should criticize (批評) American schools.” he says. “It is far too easy by our level (水準). But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens (市民). There ought to be some middle ground between the two.③” 根據文章內容，選擇正確答案： 1. The whole exchange program is mainly to ____.

When all the family members arrived at the table, they first looked 9 at the fish, then looked at me. “Why do all the fish have their10 ？” they asked，“It’s terrible!” Terrible or beautiful？I don't know. But I 11 know that fish heads are delicious. The 12 is the best part of fish; in 13 only the respectable(受敬重的)guest can have the special honour of 14 it. Another 15 thing is: the American friends often said to me“ 16 ”as they 17 fruits or other things. According to Chinese tradition I would simply smile in answer to their kindness② 18 actually helping myself to any of the food. 19 , I said “help yourself” to them whenever I brought home fruits.

This may help to keep you from getting too excited before delicious foods. 這也許有助于防止你在美食面前太過興奮。(Line 9, Passage B) 要表達“使某人不能做某事”，可用keep sb. from doing sth. ，prevent sb. from doing sth. 或stop sb. from doing sth. 等結構。如： The church bells keep me from sleeping. 教堂的鐘聲吵得我睡不著覺。 They stopped me (from) going out of the door. 他們阻止我出門。 What prevented you (from) joining us last night? 昨天晚上什么事使你不能參加我們的晚會? 注意這三個詞組中keep sb. from doing sth.中的from不能省，因為keep sb. doing sth. 意為“讓某人一直做某事”。 2. It is far too easy by our level. (Line 20, Passage C) 該句中的far 是程度副詞，“很；極；大大地”的意思，修飾形容詞、副詞及其比較級、最高級。 This room is far too warm. 這個房間極熱。 She speaks English far better than I. 她英語說得遠比我好。 My work is far from finished. 我的工作還遠沒有結束。 句中的by 表基準，可譯為“根據……；按照……”。如： You must play by the rules. 你們必須按照規(guī)則來比賽。 I can see by the expression on your face that you are in trouble. 從你的表情，我可以看得出你有了麻煩。 7.抓主干，理枝葉 長難句增加，是近年高考閱讀理解試題不可忽視的現象之一。英語的長句可分為兩類：含有數量較多的定語或狀語的簡單句和含有數量較多的各種從句的并列句或復合句。閱讀長句的基本方法是抓主干，理枝葉。抓主干就是抓句子的主體部分，也就是主語和謂語，它們是傳達信息的主要載體；理枝葉就是分析句子的附加部分，不論它們有多長，有多復雜，它們都是輔助成分，我們只要明確它們與主體的關系就可以了。如： The moon is so far from the earth that even if huge trees were growing on the mountains, and elephants were walking about, we could not see them through the most powerful telescopes which have ever been invented. 這個長句的主干就是The moon is far from the earth，其他部分，如狀語從句、定語從句等，都是為突出主題服務的。 Passage A 閱讀理解 The Winter Olympics, which is also called the White Olympics, were first held as a separate competition in 1924 at ChamonixMontBlanc, France.

When the Winter Olympics came, the host countries as well as the nonhost countries published stamps to mark those games. 當冬季奧運會來臨時，主辦國以及非主辦國都要發(fā)行郵票來紀念冬奧會。(Line 17, Passage A) 英語中可用as well as來表示“也；和”的概念。如： The meeting is important for you as well as for me. 這個會議對我重要對你也重要。 Small towns as well as big cities are developing quickly. 小鎮(zhèn)和城市一樣都在迅速地發(fā)展。 A as well as B 重點在A，因此該結構作主語時，謂語動詞要隨A的人稱、數而變化。如： His children as well as his wife were invited to the party. 不但他太太，連他的孩子們都被邀參加了那次聚會。 詞組as well作“也”講時，通常只出現在句尾。如： He sent me a letter and some money as well. 他寄給我一封信，外加一些錢。 2.

But we can certainly imagine the reasons for the beginning of the whistle language. There are many deep valleys (峽谷) on the island. A person on one side of a valley can not easily shout to a person on the other side. But he can whistle and be heard. Some of the best whistlers can be heard from four miles away and the record is seven miles. The people who live on the island usually have good teeth, and this helps them to whistle well. They must also have good ears so that they can hear other whistlers. We can understand why the whistle language continues. It is very useful on the island, and quite easy to learn. When somebody is hurt or ill, the whistle language takes the place of telephone. If the sick person is quite far away from the town, people pass the message from one to another. A boy guarding cattle (放牛) on a hillside whistles to a man fishing from his boat. The last one is able to describe the trouble fully and exactly to the doctor in town. People help one another in the same way when a car breaks or a cow is lost. The whistle language is hundreds of years old, and probably it will continue to live on for hundreds of years more. Radio and TV often kill the special ways of speaking in the different parts of a country.② But on Comera you are nobody if you cannot whistle. Perhaps soon after TV arrives on the island, the people there will be whistling the news and other facts and opinions. 根據文章內容，選擇正確答案： 1. If a person on Comera island is ill, ____. A. others will phone the doctors in town B. the whistle language will help pass the message to the doctor C. his family will take him to the hospital D. people will take him to town by carriage 2. From this passage we know radio and TV ____ at that time. A. killed the special way of speaking B. whistled all the news and opinions C. helped Comera people to communicate D. did not appear on Comera island yet 3. Comera island is special in that____ . A. many visitors go there every year B. no visitors have ever been there C. people there have special ears to hear whistles D. people there use the whistle language to communicate with each other 4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. It is not easy for a person to live on Comera island if he cannot whistle. B. The whistle language can only be found in Comera. C. The whistle language has been used for hundreds of years on the island, but will not be used any longer. D. The record shows that one best whistler can be heard by others seven miles away. 難句注釋 ?、?Comera is the only place in the world which has a whistle language. Comera是世界上惟一使用口哨語言的地方。 Total words:313 Reading time:____ Reading speed: ____ ?、?Radio and TV often kill the special ways of speaking in the different parts of a country. 收音機和電視機的使用常常會使一個國家的不同地區(qū)的特殊講話方式徹底消失。 Passage D 完形填空 A welldressed man entered a famous jewelry (珠寶) shop one day.

To their horror, they found out that most of their stored information was got rid of by computer viruses! 使他們驚恐的是，他們發(fā)現大部分儲存的信息都被計算機病毒清除了。(Line 6, Passage A) to one's horror使某人感到恐怖的是。類似的短語還有： to one's joy 使某人高興的是 to one's surprise 使某人驚訝的是 to one's sadness 使某人悲哀的是to one's delight 使某人高興的是 To my surprise, she was the mother of two children. 令我驚訝的是，她是兩個孩子的媽媽。 To her parents joy, she won the first prize for her composition. 使她父母高興的是，她的作文得了一等獎。 2.

Most dinosaurs were planteaters. The Apatosaurus, for example, had a long thin neck so that it could eat leaves from trees. Other dinosaurs were meateaters. The Tyrannosaurus Rex killed smaller dinosaurs for food. Dinosaurs were real animals that once lived on the earth, but they died out about 65 million years ago. The disappearance of the dinosaurs is in some way a great mystery (謎).① Some scientists think that the climate (氣候) changed suddenly. Fossils (化石) of trees tell us that the temperature dropped a lot and that the level of the sea dropped as well. ② This means that it got suddenly much colder. Perhaps the dinosaurs were too slow to change with the climate. A new idea is that a meteor (流星) crashed into the earth. Scientists discovered a place in Mexico where they think the meteor crashed. They think that there was a lot of dust from the meteor. The dust landed on the plants. Also the dust blocked (阻擋) the sun's light for as long as five years. Many animals, including dinosaurs, were planteaters, and perhaps the dust killed them. This means there was nothing left for meateating dinosaurs to eat, and so they died out. But, as many animals from that time didnt die, we are not 100% sure what really happened. 根據文章內容，選擇正確答案： 1. What is the subject discussed in the text? A. Dinosaurs, the real animals living millions of years ago. B. The two types of dinosaurs. C. The probable reasons for dinosaurs disappearance. D. A meteor crashed into the earth. 2.

It is still unknown. 難句注釋 ?、賂he disappearance of the dinosaurs is in some way a great mystery. 恐龍的消失在某種程度上說還是個謎。 Total words:233 Reading time:____ Reading speed: ____ ②Fossils of trees tell us that the temperature dropped a lot and that the level of the sea dropped as well. 樹木的化石告訴我們氣溫大大地降低了, 海平面也降低了。 Passage B 閱讀理解 The elephant is the biggest fourlegged animal in the world. It is also, perhaps, the gentlest (溫順的), but not always! Elephants are like us in some ways. They live for a long time ― fifty or sixty years. They can remember things very well. They never forget great sadness or great happiness. If a female(雌性的)elephant dies, her daughters and her grand daughters are sad for many months. They stay with the dead body. Then they carry a bit of it away with them. They never forget a dead friend. Elephants are like us, but they are also different. They live in families of females. There will be a few young males ― a few “baby boys”. But the females will soon send them away. An elephant family keeps only its daughters, mothers and its great grandmothers. The females stay together for fifty, sixty...a hundred years. The older animals look after the younger ones. The mothers teach their daughters and set a good example.① And what happens to male(雄性的)elephants? Well, the young males stay with their mothers for a time. Then they must leave the family. The females just send them away. A male elephant does not often have a friend. He lives apart away from the family,② and often away from other male elephants. Sometimes the females call a male elephant. He can visit them then, and stay for a time. But soon his “wife” and sisters send him away again. The females have a very happy family life. What do the male elephants think about it? We don't know. 根據文章內容，選擇正確答案： 1. In the elephant family, there are ____.

Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers, for food, for sport, and simply because they were in the way. Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the world forever. Hundreds more are on the danger list today. About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger.① Why should people care? Because we need animals. And because once they are gone, there will never be any more. Animals are more than just beautiful and interesting.② They are more than just a source of food. Every animal has its place in the balance of nature (生態(tài)平衡). Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems. For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks (老鷹), the farmers stores of corn and grain were destroyed by rats and mice. Why? Because hawks eat rats and mice. With no hawks to keep down their numbers, the rats and mice multiplied(繁殖)quickly. Luckily, some people are working to help save the animals. Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem. And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger. Quite a few countries have passed laws. These laws forbid (禁止) the killing of any animals or plants on the danger list. Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing. 根據文章內容，選擇正確答案： 1.

What can we infer from the fact that quite a few countries have passed laws protecting animals in danger? A. Every person will know the importance of protecting wild animals. B.
