Granddaughter Gayle Parks,31—who works alongside her in the family business—said it remained unknown as to who nominated Irene for the award.She said,“We don’t have any idea who put grandma forward.When we got a call 8.　　　　　(say)she was short-listed,we thought it was 9.　　　　　 joke.But then we got an official letter and we were blown away.We are so proud of her.It’s 10.　　　　　(wonder).” 

答案与解析

【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了一位90岁的英国女士仍然坚持工作,被评为“年度女性”的事迹。

1.being　考查非谓语动词。for是介词,后接动词时要用动词-ing形式。

2.which　考查定语从句。先行词是the pet shop,关系词在非限制性定语从句中作宾语,所以填which。

3.finally　考查副词。分析句子成分可知,所填的词在句中作状语,所以用副词形式。

4.declared　考查时态。根据下文的“she had no plans”可知,此处讲述的是过去发生的事情,所以用一般过去时。

5.to retire　考查非谓语动词。分析句子成分可知,plans后接动词不定式作定语。

6.have made　考查时态。根据句中的时间状语“over the years”可知,句子应用现在完成时。

7.but　考查连词。分析句子结构可知,此处是“not...but...”结构,意为“不是……而是……”。

8.saying　考查非谓语动词。call和say有逻辑上的主谓关系,所以用动词-ing形式来解释call的内容。

9.a　考查冠词。joke是单数可数名词,此处表示泛指,所以填a。

10.wonderful　考查形容词。所填的词在句中作表语,所以用形容词形式。

Ⅵ.概要写作

阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇 60词左右的内容概要。

What time do you start work?Do you prefer a leisurely start to the day,or are you an early bird who likes to get going at the crack of dawn?

At one computer programming company in the US you have no such choice.Work begins at the same oddly specific time every day—9:06 am.

In contrast to a more conventional 9 am kick-off,employees in Pivotal Software’s 20 offices around the globe have to be at work and ready to go precisely six minutes later.

At that time a cowbell is rung and employees gather for a brief stand-up meeting.After that it’s a long time to work,with no other meetings or distractions throughout the working day.They focus on working until 6 pm sharp,at which point everybody stops working.

So what’s the reason behind this unique timekeeping?Company CEO Rob Mee explains it’s about making his team of computer programmers as efficient as possible.

“I realized that programmers,if left to their own devices,may roll in at 10 am,” he says.

“We thought that if we made it 9 am,developers prepare themselves for the day would think,‘Well if it is 9 am I’ll be late.’”

He needed a little more extra time,but a starting time of 9:05 am felt too rigidly precise—whereas 9:06 am seemed “fun”.

Mr Mee was also thinking of their stomachs.Lazier programmers who turned up around 10:00 am would also often have missed breakfast.This meant they would be hungry by 11:00 am and take an early lunch,leaving them with an endlessly long working afternoon ahead.So he decided to provide breakfast as an extra incentive (激励) to get in to the office on time.

The company’s approach to punctuality may seem boring,but Pivotal Software is in fact a highly successful company,valued at 20 billion RMB.And Pivotal is not alone:Silicon Valley has long been associated with an alternative working culture.Google has “nap pods” and meditation classes,while Netflix offers a year’s paid parental leave (亲子假).

参考范文

The text tells us about the starting working time.Pivotal Software begins at 9:06 am because CEO Rob Mee believes that it helps employees become more efficient.(要点1)Firstly,it ensures workers begin to work at a good time,not too late in the morning.By choosing a usual time the requirement seems funny rather than strict.(要点2)Rob is also concerned about employees missing breakfast because if they don’t eat breakfast,they will have an early lunch and then have to face a very long afternoon of work.(要点3) Some other companies have other alternative working cultures.(要点4)
