A
You wake up and the weather is all wet. What are you going to do today? Here are four ideas to try when it’s raining cats and dogs.
Puppet (木偶) showtime
You can create your own puppets with items your parents already have around the house. First, you’ll need some old socks or brown paper bags. Then get busy decorating them with markers, crayons, glitter, string, ribbons, buttons-even dry macaroni (通心粉)! Give your puppets names and funny voices. You might want to make up a special story for them. To make your show even better, use a cardboard box as a stage.
Build a castle
Ask your parents for some old sheets, blankets, or comforters. Spread them over chairs or other furniture to create a top-secret hideout. Bring a flashlight, a good book to read, and maybe even a snack. And don’t forget to think of a secret password.
Dress-up time
Both boys and girls can have fun trying on old clothes. Ask your parents to let you try on old hats, jewelry, shoes, and clothes. Do you want to be a doctor? You can pretend an old white shirt is a lab coat. Or maybe you see yourself as a movie star.
Say thanks
Birthdays and holidays are chances for us to thank people who love us and take good care of us. But it can be a special treat to get a gift or a card on an ordinary day. Think of the people who make you happy and then come up with a way to show them your care. It might be an aunt, uncle, grandmother, neighbor, or babysitter. It could even be your mom or dad! Use your arts and craft supplies to create a special card. You will be delivering sunshine on a rainy day!
1. What can you do to make your puppet show much better?
A. Creating your puppet by yourself. B. Offering your puppet a good name.
C. Giving a special story for your puppet. D. Using a cardboard box as a stage.
2. According to the passage, which of the following can be used to create a castle?
A. Old sheets, blankets or chairs. B. Old socks or brown paper bags.

Do you believe that blood types can determine your personality? People in Japan take blood types very seriously, according to a recent BBC report. They have big implications for life, work and love. “What’s your blood type?” is often a key question in everything from matchmaking to job applications.
Last year, four of Japan’s top 10 best-sellers were about how blood type determines personality, selling more than 5 million copies altogether. Why is it such a popular belief that they determine one’s character? Taku Kabeya, chief editor, the publisher of one of the books, told The Huffington Post that he thought the appeal of these books comes from having one’s self-image confirmed. Readers discover the definition of their blood type and “It’s like ‘Yes, that’s me!’” A popular reason often given about the craze is that in a relatively homogenous (一致) society, it provides a simple framework to divide people up into easily recognizable groups. “Being the same is considered a good thing here in Japanese society,” translator Chie Kobayashi told the BBC. “But we enjoy finding little differences that distinguish people.”
As defined by the books, type As are sensitive perfectionists and good team players, but they tend to be over-anxious. Type Os are curious and generous but stubborn, while ABs are artistic but also mysterious and unpredictable. Type Bs are cheerful, but have eccentric (怪癖的), individualistic and selfish traits (特点).
The beliefs surrounding blood groups have been used in unusual ways. The women’s softball team that won gold for Japan at the Beijing Olympics is reported to have used blood type theories to design training for each player. Major companies reportedly make decisions about assignments based on employees’ blood types, for example, in 1990 the Asahi Daily newspaper reported that Mitsubishi Electronics (日本三菱电器) had announced the creation of a team made up entirely of A workers.
4. What is the popular belief in Japan according to the passage?
A. Being the same is considered a good thing.
B. Blood types can determine personality.
C. Happy marriage is based on personality.
D. It is fashionable to buy top 10 best-sellers.
5. What does the underlined word craze in the second paragraph probably mean?
A. Fashion. B. Behavior.
C. Attraction. D. Habit.
6. Why did Mitsubishi Electronics hire so many workers with blood type A?
A. Because they are mysterious artistic and unpredictable.
B. Because they are perfectionists, good team players.
C. Because they are curious and generous but stubborn.
D. Because they are cheerful, but have eccentric traits.
7. This passage is likely to be selected from a book of ________.
A. medicine B. teamwork
C. geography D. culture
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. D
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了日本人认为血型能决定性格,它们对生活、工作和爱情都有很大的影响。

细节理解题。根据第一段Do you believe that blood types can determine your personality? People in Japan take blood types very seriously, according to a recent BBC report.(你相信血型能决定你的性格吗?根据英国广播公司最近的一篇报道,日本人非常重视血型)可知,根据这篇文章,在日本流行的信仰是血型可以决定一个人的性格。故选B。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段Last year, four of Japan’s top 10 best-sellers were about how blood type determines personality, selling more than 5 million copies altogether.(去年,日本十大畅销书中有四本都是关于血型如何决定性格的,共卖出了500多万册)可知,“血型决定性格”的想法,在日本是一种潮流。划线词所在的句子意思是关于这股热潮,人们通常给出的一个流行的理由是,在一个相对单一的社会里,它提供了一个简单的框架,把人们分成容易辨认的群体。craze意思是潮流,故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段As defined by the books, type As are sensitive perfectionists and good team players, but they tend to be over-anxious.(根据书中的定义,A型血的人是敏感的完美主义者和优秀的团队成员,但他们往往过于焦虑)和最后一段Major companies reportedly make decisions about assignments based on employees’ blood types, for example, in 1990 the Asahi Daily newspaper reported that Mitsubishi Electronics (日本三菱电器) had announced the creation of a team made up entirely of A workers.(据报道,大公司根据员工的血型来决定分配工作。例如,1990年,《朝日日报》报道称,三菱电子宣布成立一个完全由A型血员工组成的团队)可知,三菱电子雇佣这么多A型血的员工是因为他们是完美主义者,是优秀的团队队员。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。第一段Do you believe that blood types can determine your personality? People in Japan take blood types very seriously, according to a recent BBC report.

Would you believe that the first outstanding deaf teacher in America was a Frenchman? His name was Laurent Cleric. He became a friend of Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet and together they founded America’s first school for the deaf.
Laurent Cleric was born in a small village near Lyons, France, on December 26, 1785. When he was one year old, he fell into a fire, losing both his hearing and his sense of smell. At 12, Laurent entered the Royal Institution for the Deaf in Paris where he excelled in his studies. After he graduated, the school asked him to stay on as an assistant teacher.
Meanwhile, in America, Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet was studying to be a minister. He was very concerned about the lack of educational opportunities for the deaf. Therefore, in 1815, Gallaudet sailed to London, England to seek ideas on how to teach deaf people. While he was there, he met a French educator of the deaf who invited him to go to Paris to spend three months learning at the Royal Institution for the Deaf, the school where Laurent Cleric was teaching. Gallaudet accepted the offer. The two worked and studied well together. When the time came for Gallaudet to return, he asked Cleric to come with him. Cleric accepted on one condition: that he would stay in America only a short time.
The two men set sail on June 18, 1816. The voyage across the Atlantic Ocean took 52 days; however, Cleric and Gallaudet put the time to good use. Cleric studied English, and Gallaudet studied sign language. They discussed the school for the deaf which they planned to open. On the long trip, they had many conversations about education and deafness. The year after they arrived, they founded a school for the deaf in Harford, Connecticut.
At the school, Cleric led a busy life. He taught signs to Principal Gallaudet; he taught the pupils; and he taught hearing men who came to the school to study deaf education.
In 1819, Cleric married Eliza Crocker Boardman, one of his pupils. They had six children. He retired from teaching in 1858. Although he had intended to return to France, he never did. He died on July 18, 1869 in the United States.
8. Why did Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet sail to London?
A. He needed to finish his studies to become a minister.
B. It was the easiest way to get to France.
C. He wanted to study their system of deaf education.
D. He wanted to marry Alice Cogswell.
9. From the information in this passage we can infer that ________.
A. Laurent Cleric was an intelligent man
B. Cleric had difficulties learning language
C. Cleric married Eliza in order to get his Green Card
D. Cleric was paid well because he made such important contributions to society
10. On their trip from Paris to America, Cleric and Gallaudet ________.
A. played cards and socialized
B. studied and discussed their plans for a deaf school
C. founded a school for the deaf
D. Gallaudet studied English and Cleric studied Sign Language
11. The main idea of this passage could best be stated as __________.
A. Cleric managed his time well, and was able to teach a lot of information in a short period of time
B. Thomas Gallaudet was indebted to Cleric for all that he taught him
C. Cleric preferred teaching deaf students to hearing students
D. Cleric, an educated Frenchman, had a great influence on American Deaf Education
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇人物传记。文章主要讲了Cleric是一个受过良好教育的法国人,他对美国聋人教育产生了重大影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段He was very concerned about the lack of educational opportunities for the deaf. Therefore, in 1815, Gallaudet sailed to London, England to seek ideas on how to teach deaf people.(他非常关心聋人缺乏受教育的机会。因此,在1815年,Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet航行到英国伦敦,寻求如何教育聋人的理念)可知,Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet去伦敦是想研究他们的聋人教育体系。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段At 12, Laurent entered the Royal Institution for the Deaf in Paris where he excelled in his studies. After he graduated, the school asked him to stay on as an assistant teacher.(12岁时,Laurent Cleric进入了巴黎的皇家聋人机构,在那里他学习非常出色。他毕业后,学校请他留下来当助教)可推断出,Laurent Cleric是个聪明的人。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段Cleric studied English, and Gallaudet studied sign language. They discussed the school for the deaf which they planned to open.(Cleric学习英语,Gallaudet学习手语。他们讨论了他们计划开办的聋人学校)可知,在从巴黎到美国的旅途中,Cleric和Gallaudet研究并讨论了他们建立一所聋哑学校的计划。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。第一段Would you believe that the first outstanding deaf teacher in America was a Frenchman? His name was Laurent Cleric. He became a friend of Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet and together they founded America’s first school for the deaf.(你相信美国第一位杰出聋哑教师是法国人吗?他叫Laurent Cleric。他成为了Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet的朋友,他们一起建立了美国第一所聋哑人学校)是全文的主题句,结合全文内容,可知这篇文章主要讲了Cleric是一个受过良好教育的法国人,他对美国聋人教育产生了重大影响。故选D。
【点睛】通过对关键词,关键短语或者是关键的句子的把握是解决推理判断题的重要解题方法之一,它们往往隐藏着深层的意思。小题2根据第二段At 12, Laurent entered the Royal Institution for the Deaf in Paris where he excelled in his studies. After he graduated, the school asked him to stay on as an assistant teacher.(12岁时,Laurent Cleric进入了巴黎的皇家聋人机构,在那里他学习非常出色。他毕业后,学校请他留下来当助教)可推断出,Laurent Cleric是个聪明的人。故选A。
D
In the early days of sea travel, seamen on long voyages lived exclusively on salted meat and biscuits. Many of them died of scurvy (坏血病), a disease of the blood which causes swollen gums (牙龈), livid white spots on the flesh and general exhaustion. On one occasion, in 1535, an English ship arrived in Newfoundland with its crew desperately ill. The men’s lives were saved by Iroquois Indians who gave them vegetable leaves to eat. Gradually it came to be realized that scurvy was caused by some lack in the sailors’ diet and Captain Cook, on his long voyages of discovery to Australia and New Zealand, established the fact that scurvy could be prevented by the supply of fresh fruit for the sailors.
Nowadays it is understood that a diet which contains nothing harmful may yet result in serious disease if certain important elements are missing. These elements are called “vitamins”. Quite a number of such substances are known and they are given letters to identify them, A, B, C, D, and so on. Different diseases are associated with shortages of particular vitamins. Even a slight lack of Vitamin C, for example, the vitamin most plentiful in fresh fruit and vegetables, is thought to increase significantly our susceptibility (敏感度) to colds and influenza.
The vitamins necessary for a healthy body are normally supplied by a good mixed diet, including a variety of fruit and green vegetables. It is only when people try to live on a very restricted diet, say during extended periods of religious fasting (斋戒), or when trying to lose weight, that it is necessary to make special supply to make up for the missing vitamins.
12. Scurvy is a disease that is caused by .
A. salted meat and biscuits B. exhaustion
C. lack of some essential substances D. need of fresh vegetables and fruits
13. To avoid such disease as scurvy, it’s better for us .
A. not to eat much salted meat
B. to supply our diet with various vitamin pills
C. to have more fresh fruit and vegetables
D. to develop a good dietary habit
14. Based on the passage we can safely conclude that if our diet is not comprehensive enough, .
A. vitamin pills are of no use
B. nutritious food might be unhealthy
C. vegetable leaves can be a good treatment
D. religious fasting may help out a lot
15. Which of the following sentences best expresses the main idea of the passage?
A. Shortages of Vitamin C may cause serious diseases.
B. Fresh fruit and green vegetables contain enough nutrition that is necessary for a healthy body.
C. Vitamins play a vitally important role in people’s health.
D. A good mixed diet normally supplies sufficient vitamins for us.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了维生素在人们的健康中起着至关重要的作用。健康身体所需的维生素通常由良好的混合饮食提供,包括各种水果和绿色蔬菜。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段Gradually it came to be realized that scurvy was caused by some lack in the sailors’ diet and Captain Cook, on his long voyages of discovery to Australia and New Zealand, established the fact that scurvy could be prevented by the supply of fresh fruit for the sailors.(人们逐渐认识到,坏血病是由于水手们的饮食中缺少某种营养而引起的。库克船长在到澳大利亚和新西兰的长途航行中,发现了坏血病是可以通过向水手们提供新鲜水果来预防的这一事实)可知,坏血病是一种由于缺乏某些必需物质而引起的疾病。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段The vitamins necessary for a healthy body are normally supplied by a good mixed diet, including a variety of fruit and green vegetables.(健康身体所需的维生素通常由良好的混合饮食提供,包括各种水果和绿色蔬菜)推断出,为了避免坏血病等疾病,我们最好养成良好的饮食习惯。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段Nowadays it is understood that a diet which contains nothing harmful may yet result in serious disease if certain important elements are missing.(现在人们知道,不含任何有害成分的饮食,如果缺少某些重要的成分,可能会导致严重的疾病)推断出,根据这篇文章,我们可以有把握地得出结论,如果我们的饮食不够全面,有营养的食物可能是不健康的。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。第二段Different diseases are associated with shortages of particular vitamins.(不同的疾病都与特定维生素的缺乏有关)是全文的主题句,结合全文内容,可知这篇文章主要讲了维生素在人们的健康中起着至关重要的作用。故选C。
【点睛】细节理解题大多是根据文章中的具体信息如事实、例证、原因、过程、论述等进行提问的。抓住文段中的事实和细节是做好该题型的关键,也是做好其它类型问题的基础。该题型几乎都可以在文章中直接找到与答案有关的信息,或是其变体。在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都属于这类围绕主体展开的细节。做这类题一般采用寻读法,即先读题,然后带着问题快速阅读短文,找出与问题和选项有关的词语或句子,再对相关部分进行分析对比,找出答案。正确选项虽然一般不是原文照搬,但是一般是原文的改写,意思不变。如换一个同义词,把否定改为肯定,把肯定改为否定等。如第1小题,根据第一段Gradually it came to be realized that scurvy was caused by some lack in the sailors’ diet and Captain Cook, on his long voyages of discovery to Australia and New Zealand, established the fact that scurvy could be prevented by the supply of fresh fruit for the sailors.(人们逐渐认识到,坏血病是由于水手们的饮食中缺少某种营养而引起的。库克船长在到澳大利亚和新西兰的长途航行中,发现了坏血病是可以通过向水手们提供新鲜水果来预防的这一事实)可知,坏血病是一种由于缺乏某些必需物质而引起的疾病。故选C。

第一节 短文改错 (共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)

增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧),并在其下面写出该加的词。

As we all know, culture is similar with an iceberg. There are cultural roles where are obvious and easily to understand. Most of our cultural values, however, is not clear or hidden. For example, when you will visit a restaurant in Japan, people may sit in the floor and use chopsticks to eat. These eat habits are easy to come across. You may not know, therefore, that it’s common for a man to sit cross-legged on the floor, but it’s not considered acceptable for woman to do so. You have to study people’s body language to understanding this less obvious cultural rule.
【答案】第一处:with→to
第二处:where→that/which
第三处:easily→easy
第四处:is→are
第五处:去掉will
第六处:in→on
第七处:eat→eating
第八处:therefore→however
第九处:在woman前面加a
第十处:understanding→understand
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇议论文。文章作者通过例举日本人吃饭的习惯,说明了为了理解不那么明显的文化规则,你必须研究人们的肢体语言。
【详解】第一处:考查介词。句意:我们都知道,文化就像一座冰山。be similar to后既可以加物主代词又可以加人;be similar with后只可以加人。故with改成to。
第二处:考查定语从句。句意:有一些很明显,也很容易理解的文化角色。这里含有一个限定性定语从句,关系词在从句中作主语,指物,应使用关系代词that/which引导。故where改成that/which。
第三处:考查形容词。句意:有一些很明显,也很容易理解的文化角色。该空作are之后的表语,用形容词。故easily改成easy。
第四处:考查主谓一致。句意:然而,我们的大多数文化价值并不是很清楚或是隐藏的。主语Most of our cultural values是复数,be动词用复数。故is改成are。
第五处:考查动词时态。句意:例如,当你在日本参观一家餐馆时,人们可能会坐在地板上用筷子吃饭。描述一个客观的事实,用一般现在时。故去掉will。
第六处:考查介词。句意:例如,当你在日本参观一家餐馆时,人们可能会坐在地板上用筷子吃饭。此处表示“在……之上”。故in改成on。
第七处:考查形容词。句意:这些饮食习惯很容易偶遇。修饰名词habits,用形容词eating“进餐用的”。故eat改成eating。
第八处:考查副词。句意:然而,你可能不知道,一个男人盘腿坐在地板上是很常见的,但一个女人这样做是不可接受的。文中表示“然而”。故therefore改成however。
第九处:考查冠词。句意:然而,你可能不知道,一个男人盘腿坐在地板上是很常见的,但一个女人这样做是不可接受的。泛指“一个女人”,woman的首字母发音是辅音音素。故在woman前面加a。
第十处:考查不定式。句意:为了理解这个不那么明显的文化规则,你必须研究人们的肢体语言。作目的状语,用不定式。故understanding改成understand。

【答案】Dear students,
As everybody can see in our school, many students don’t have good behavior. They don’t get up early and are late for school. They throw rubbish and park their bicycles anywhere as they like. What’s worse, they don’t behave according to the etiquette rules.
I think it’s high time that we should develop good behavior habits when we’re studying at school. For one thing, good habits have a key effect on our characters, which will determine our fortune. For another thing, good habits are symbols of Chinese traditional virtues, which we are responsible to spread to the world.
Dear friends, if we take action to change our behavior right away, we can make a big difference in the future.

You wake up and the weather is all wet. What are you going to do today? Here are four ideas to try when it’s raining cats and dogs.
Puppet (木偶) showtime
You can create your own puppets with items your parents already have around the house. First, you’ll need some old socks or brown paper bags. Then get busy decorating them with markers, crayons, glitter, string, ribbons, buttons-even dry macaroni (通心粉)! Give your puppets names and funny voices. You might want to make up a special story for them. To make your show even better, use a cardboard box as a stage.
Build a castle
Ask your parents for some old sheets, blankets, or comforters. Spread them over chairs or other furniture to create a top-secret hideout. Bring a flashlight, a good book to read, and maybe even a snack. And don’t forget to think of a secret password.
Dress-up time
Both boys and girls can have fun trying on old clothes. Ask your parents to let you try on old hats, jewelry, shoes, and clothes. Do you want to be a doctor? You can pretend an old white shirt is a lab coat. Or maybe you see yourself as a movie star.
Say thanks
Birthdays and holidays are chances for us to thank people who love us and take good care of us. But it can be a special treat to get a gift or a card on an ordinary day. Think of the people who make you happy and then come up with a way to show them your care. It might be an aunt, uncle, grandmother, neighbor, or babysitter. It could even be your mom or dad! Use your arts and craft supplies to create a special card. You will be delivering sunshine on a rainy day!
1. What can you do to make your puppet show much better?
A. Creating your puppet by yourself. B. Offering your puppet a good name.
C. Giving a special story for your puppet. D. Using a cardboard box as a stage.
2. According to the passage, which of the following can be used to create a castle?
A. Old sheets, blankets or chairs. B. Old socks or brown paper bags.
C. Markers, crayons or comforters. D. Ribbons, chairs or other furniture.
3. The passage is mainly written to ________.

B
Do you believe that blood types can determine your personality? People in Japan take blood types very seriously, according to a recent BBC report. They have big implications for life, work and love. “What’s your blood type?” is often a key question in everything from matchmaking to job applications.
Last year, four of Japan’s top 10 best-sellers were about how blood type determines personality, selling more than 5 million copies altogether. Why is it such a popular belief that they determine one’s character? Taku Kabeya, chief editor, the publisher of one of the books, told The Huffington Post that he thought the appeal of these books comes from having one’s self-image confirmed. Readers discover the definition of their blood type and “It’s like ‘Yes, that’s me!’” A popular reason often given about the craze is that in a relatively homogenous (一致) society, it provides a simple framework to divide people up into easily recognizable groups. “Being the same is considered a good thing here in Japanese society,” translator Chie Kobayashi told the BBC. “But we enjoy finding little differences that distinguish people.”
As defined by the books, type As are sensitive perfectionists and good team players, but they tend to be over-anxious. Type Os are curious and generous but stubborn, while ABs are artistic but also mysterious and unpredictable. Type Bs are cheerful, but have eccentric (怪癖的), individualistic and selfish traits (特点).
The beliefs surrounding blood groups have been used in unusual ways. The women’s softball team that won gold for Japan at the Beijing Olympics is reported to have used blood type theories to design training for each player. Major companies reportedly make decisions about assignments based on employees’ blood types, for example, in 1990 the Asahi Daily newspaper reported that Mitsubishi Electronics (日本三菱电器) had announced the creation of a team made up entirely of A workers.
4. What is the popular belief in Japan according to the passage?
A. Being the same is considered a good thing.
B. Blood types can determine personality.
C. Happy marriage is based on personality.
D. It is fashionable to buy top 10 best-sellers.
5. What does the underlined word craze in the second paragraph probably mean?
A. Fashion. B. Behavior.
C. Attraction. D. Habit.
6. Why did Mitsubishi Electronics hire so many workers with blood type A?
A. Because they are mysterious artistic and unpredictable.
B. Because they are perfectionists, good team players.
C. Because they are curious and generous but stubborn.
D. Because they are cheerful, but have eccentric traits.
7. This passage is likely to be selected from a book of ________.
A. medicine B. teamwork
C. geography D. culture
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. D
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了日本人认为血型能决定性格,它们对生活、工作和爱情都有很大的影响。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段Do you believe that blood types can determine your personality? People in Japan take blood types very seriously, according to a recent BBC report.(你相信血型能决定你的性格吗?根据英国广播公司最近的一篇报道,日本人非常重视血型)可知,根据这篇文章,在日本流行的信仰是血型可以决定一个人的性格。故选B。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段Last year, four of Japan’s top 10 best-sellers were about how blood type determines personality, selling more than 5 million copies altogether.(去年,日本十大畅销书中有四本都是关于血型如何决定性格的,共卖出了500多万册)可知,“血型决定性格”的想法,在日本是一种潮流。划线词所在的句子意思是关于这股热潮,人们通常给出的一个流行的理由是,在一个相对单一的社会里,它提供了一个简单的框架,把人们分成容易辨认的群体。craze意思是潮流,故选A。

Would you believe that the first outstanding deaf teacher in America was a Frenchman? His name was Laurent Cleric. He became a friend of Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet and together they founded America’s first school for the deaf.
Laurent Cleric was born in a small village near Lyons, France, on December 26, 1785. When he was one year old, he fell into a fire, losing both his hearing and his sense of smell. At 12, Laurent entered the Royal Institution for the Deaf in Paris where he excelled in his studies. After he graduated, the school asked him to stay on as an assistant teacher.
Meanwhile, in America, Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet was studying to be a minister. He was very concerned about the lack of educational opportunities for the deaf. Therefore, in 1815, Gallaudet sailed to London, England to seek ideas on how to teach deaf people. While he was there, he met a French educator of the deaf who invited him to go to Paris to spend three months learning at the Royal Institution for the Deaf, the school where Laurent Cleric was teaching. Gallaudet accepted the offer. The two worked and studied well together. When the time came for Gallaudet to return, he asked Cleric to come with him. Cleric accepted on one condition: that he would stay in America only a short time.
The two men set sail on June 18, 1816. The voyage across the Atlantic Ocean took 52 days; however, Cleric and Gallaudet put the time to good use. Cleric studied English, and Gallaudet studied sign language. They discussed the school for the deaf which they planned to open. On the long trip, they had many conversations about education and deafness. The year after they arrived, they founded a school for the deaf in Harford, Connecticut.
At the school, Cleric led a busy life. He taught signs to Principal Gallaudet; he taught the pupils; and he taught hearing men who came to the school to study deaf education.
In 1819, Cleric married Eliza Crocker Boardman, one of his pupils. They had six children. He retired from teaching in 1858. Although he had intended to return to France, he never did. He died on July 18, 1869 in the United States.
8. Why did Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet sail to London?
A. He needed to finish his studies to become a minister.
B. It was the easiest way to get to France.

A. played cards and socialized
B. studied and discussed their plans for a deaf school
C. founded a school for the deaf
D. Gallaudet studied English and Cleric studied Sign Language
11. The main idea of this passage could best be stated as __________.

B. Thomas Gallaudet was indebted to Cleric for all that he taught him
C. Cleric preferred teaching deaf students to hearing students

In the early days of sea travel, seamen on long voyages lived exclusively on salted meat and biscuits. Many of them died of scurvy (坏血病), a disease of the blood which causes swollen gums (牙龈), livid white spots on the flesh and general exhaustion. On one occasion, in 1535, an English ship arrived in Newfoundland with its crew desperately ill. The men’s lives were saved by Iroquois Indians who gave them vegetable leaves to eat. Gradually it came to be realized that scurvy was caused by some lack in the sailors’ diet and Captain Cook, on his long voyages of discovery to Australia and New Zealand, established the fact that scurvy could be prevented by the supply of fresh fruit for the sailors.
Nowadays it is understood that a diet which contains nothing harmful may yet result in serious disease if certain important elements are missing. These elements are called “vitamins”. Quite a number of such substances are known and they are given letters to identify them, A, B, C, D, and so on. Different diseases are associated with shortages of particular vitamins. Even a slight lack of Vitamin C, for example, the vitamin most plentiful in fresh fruit and vegetables, is thought to increase significantly our susceptibility (敏感度) to colds and influenza.
The vitamins necessary for a healthy body are normally supplied by a good mixed diet, including a variety of fruit and green vegetables. It is only when people try to live on a very restricted diet, say during extended periods of religious fasting (斋戒), or when trying to lose weight, that it is necessary to make special supply to make up for the missing vitamins.
12. Scurvy is a disease that is caused by .
A. salted meat and biscuits B. exhaustion
C. lack of some essential substances D. need of fresh vegetables and fruits
13. To avoid such disease as scurvy, it’s better for us .
A. not to eat much salted meat
B. to supply our diet with various vitamin pills
C. to have more fresh fruit and vegetables
D. to develop a good dietary habit
14. Based on the passage we can safely conclude that if our diet is not comprehensive enough, .
A. vitamin pills are of no use
B. nutritious food might be unhealthy
C. vegetable leaves can be a good treatment
D. religious fasting may help out a lot
15. Which of the following sentences best expresses the main idea of the passage?
A. Shortages of Vitamin C may cause serious diseases.
B. Fresh fruit and green vegetables contain enough nutrition that is necessary for a healthy body.
C. Vitamins play a vitally important role in people’s health.
D. A good mixed diet normally supplies sufficient vitamins for us.

As we all know, culture is similar with an iceberg. There are cultural roles where are obvious and easily to understand. Most of our cultural values, however, is not clear or hidden. For example, when you will visit a restaurant in Japan, people may sit in the floor and use chopsticks to eat. These eat habits are easy to come across. You may not know, therefore, that it’s common for a man to sit cross-legged on the floor, but it’s not considered acceptable for woman to do so. You have to study people’s body language to understanding this less obvious cultural rule.
【答案】第一处:with→to
第二处:where→that/which
第三处:easily→easy
第四处:is→are
第五处:去掉will
第六处:in→on
第七处:eat→eating
第八处:therefore→however
第九处:在woman前面加a
第十处:understanding→understand
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇议论文。文章作者通过例举日本人吃饭的习惯,说明了为了理解不那么明显的文化规则,你必须研究人们的肢体语言。
【详解】第一处:考查介词。句意:我们都知道,文化就像一座冰山。be similar to后既可以加物主代词又可以加人;be similar with后只可以加人。故with改成to。
第二处:考查定语从句。句意:有一些很明显,也很容易理解的文化角色。这里含有一个限定性定语从句,关系词在从句中作主语,指物,应使用关系代词that/which引导。故where改成that/which。
第三处:考查形容词。句意:有一些很明显,也很容易理解的文化角色。该空作are之后的表语,用形容词。故easily改成easy。
第四处:考查主谓一致。句意:然而,我们的大多数文化价值并不是很清楚或是隐藏的。主语Most of our cultural values是复数,be动词用复数。故is改成are。
第五处:考查动词时态。句意:例如,当你在日本参观一家餐馆时,人们可能会坐在地板上用筷子吃饭。描述一个客观的事实,用一般现在时。故去掉will。
第六处:考查介词。句意:例如,当你在日本参观一家餐馆时,人们可能会坐在地板上用筷子吃饭。此处表示“在……之上”。故in改成on。
第七处:考查形容词。句意:这些饮食习惯很容易偶遇。修饰名词habits,用形容词eating“进餐用的”。故eat改成eating。
第八处:考查副词。句意:然而,你可能不知道,一个男人盘腿坐在地板上是很常见的,但一个女人这样做是不可接受的。文中表示“然而”。故therefore改成however。
第九处:考查冠词。句意:然而,你可能不知道,一个男人盘腿坐在地板上是很常见的,但一个女人这样做是不可接受的。泛指“一个女人”,woman的首字母发音是辅音音素。故在woman前面加a。
第十处:考查不定式。句意:为了理解这个不那么明显的文化规则,你必须研究人们的肢体语言。作目的状语,用不定式。故understanding改成understand。

【答案】Dear students,
As everybody can see in our school, many students don’t have good behavior. They don’t get up early and are late for school. They throw rubbish and park their bicycles anywhere as they like. What’s worse, they don’t behave according to the etiquette rules.
I think it’s high time that we should develop good behavior habits when we’re studying at school. For one thing, good habits have a key effect on our characters, which will determine our fortune. For another thing, good habits are symbols of Chinese traditional virtues, which we are responsible to spread to the world.
Dear friends, if we take action to change our behavior right away, we can make a big difference in the future.
Student Union
