An extraordinary new restaurant in Semarang, Indonesia is on a mission (使命) to support locals trapped in poverty, many of whom are earning less than $25 a month, by providing them with an alternative way to pay for their food.
The Methane Gas Canteen, run by husband and wife team Sarimin and Suyatmi, is located in an unexpected place for an eatery — Jatibarang Landfill. The landfill is a mountain of purifying waste, where poor locals spend their days collecting plastic and glass to sell. Meanwhile, the couple, who spent 40 years collecting waste before opening the restaurant, is busy cooking.
What makes the restaurant unusual aside from its location, is that no cash is required to pay for meals. Poor people have the option to pay for their food with recyclable waste instead of cash. Sarimin weighs the plastic customers bring in, calculates its worth, and then deduct that value from the cost of the meal, giving any extra value back to the customer. The scheme is part of the community’s solution to reduce waste in the landfill and recycle non-degradable plastics.
“I think we recycle 1 ton of plastic waste a day, which is a lot. This way, the plastic waste doesn’t pile up, drift down the river and cause flooding,” said Sarimin in an interview with Channel News Asia. “It benefits everyone.”
The restaurant seats about 30 people and serves meals that cost between $0.40 and $0.80 each. Since opening the canteen Sarimin and Suyatmi have seen their daily income more than double to $15 a day.
“I’m happy to see our customers enjoying their meals,” Sarimin told NHK World. “The poor must also have the right to enjoy healthy eating. I want to give them that chance as much as possible.”
8. What do we know about Jatibarang Landfill?
A. An unusual restaurant for people to eat free meals.
B. A mountain where the locals live on selling waste.
C. A place where poor locals collect waste to sell.
D. A plant where waste is recycled.
9. Why did Sarimin and Suyatmi open their restaurant?
A. To double their daily income and profit.
B. To prove waste is a valuable thing.
C. To provide food for locals trying to survive.
D. To help settle the issues of poverty and trash.
10. What does the underlined word “deduct” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Increase B. Replace
C. Remove D. Equal
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. An unusual way to pay for meals.
B. A local mission to help get rid of poverty.
C. A different scheme to reduce waste.
D. A new restaurant getting double income.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Sarimin 和Suyatmi夫妇经营的沼气餐厅位于一个意想不到的地方—Jatibarang 垃圾填埋场。穷人们可以用可循环的垃圾代替现金来支付他们的食物,这样既能帮助穷人又处理了垃圾问题。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The Methane Gas Canteen, run by husband and wife team Sarimin and Suyatmi, is located in an unexpected place for an eatery — Jatibarang Landfill. The landfill is a mountain of purifying waste, where poor locals spend their days collecting plastic and glass to sell.”可知,Jatibarang Landfill是一个当地人收集塑料和玻璃出售的地方。结合选项,故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“An extraordinary new restaurant in Semarang, Indonesia is on a mission (使命) to support locals trapped in poverty, many of whom are earning less than $25 a month, by providing them with an alternative way to pay for their food”以及倒数第三段中“I think we recycle 1 ton of plastic waste a day, which is a lot. This way, the plastic waste doesn’t pile up, drift down the river and cause flooding”可知,穷人们可以用可循环的垃圾代替现金来支付他们的食物,这样既能帮助穷人又处理了垃圾问题。结合选项,故选D。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。划线句上文 Poor people have the option to pay for their food with recyclable waste instead of cash.(穷人可以选择用可回收的废物来支付他们的食物,而不是现金。)因此推断划线词所在的句子“Sarimin weighs the plastic customers bring in, calculates its worth, and then deduct that value from the cost of the meal, giving any extra value back to the customer.”句意是:Sarimin对顾客带来的塑料制品进行称重,计算其价值,然后从餐费中扣除这些价值,再把额外的价值返还给顾客。A. Increase增加;B. Replace取代; C. Remove移动;D. Equal等于。结合选项,故选C。
【11题详解】

A device called a TreeTalker is providing information about trees to people who oversee forests and woodlands. The device aims to measure the growth and general health of trees.
Scientists say forests are important because they absorb, or take in, carbon dioxide, one of the gases released by burning oil and other fossil fuels. It is a heat-trapping gas and has been linked to a general warming in the Earth's atmosphere.
The world is at a historic period for climate change because the scientific world is on guard. Many scientists say “Be careful, the ecosystem of the forests is not able anymore, as it was before, to absorb all this carbon dioxide.” Rising temperatures are placing forests under increased stress. Harmful insects and diseases are becoming more of a threat to trees. This is bad for the environment.
The TreeTalker devices serve as an early warning system for people overseeing forests. TreeTalker turns eco-physiological signals, such as growth, absorption of carbon dioxide, liquid flow from roots to leaves, into scientific information. This can help show if a tree is under attack from insects or other organisms. The TreeTalker sends its information to forest managers.
The TreeTalker device transmits data via radio and it can transmit data actually a very long distance, up to one kilometer. The information lets forestry officials take action immediately to control threats. The TreeTalker is able to measure the width of the bottom of a tree. Timber industry workers can use this information to know how much wood they are growing compared to how much they are harvesting. Another goal is to give scientists the information they need to understand how climate affects forests and the part trees play in a healthy environment.
About 300 TreeTalker devices are being tested in Italy and other countries, such as China and Russia. Another 1,700 devices are expected to be tested worldwide this year.
12. What was the TreeTalker device used for?
A. Providing information of forests change.
B. Absorbing carbon dioxide.
C. Controlling threats from nature.
D. Helping the growth and health of trees.
13 Which of the following threats to forests is the most severe?
A. Harmful insects and diseases. B. Forest managers.
C. Carbon dioxide. D. Timber industry workers.
14. What does the underlined word “This” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The information of an early warning system.
B. The information on the absorption of carbon dioxide.
C. The information of eco-physiological signals.
D. The information to the forest managers.
15. What’s the author’s attitude towards the TreeTalker device?
A. Promising. B. Alarming.
C. Doubting. D. Understanding.
【答案】12. A 13. A 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。主要讲述了一种叫做Tree Talker的装置正在向监督森林和林地的人提供有关树木的信息。该装置旨在测量树木的生长和一般健康状况。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“A device called a TreeTalker is providing information about trees to people who oversee forests and woodlands”可知,Tree Talker为监督森林和林地的人提供有关树木的信息。结合选项,故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Harmful insects and diseases are becoming more of a threat to trees. ”可知,对森林威胁最严重的是害虫和疾病。结合选项,故选A。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据倒数第三段“TreeTalker turns eco-physiological signals, such as growth, absorption of carbon dioxide, liquid flow from roots to leaves, into scientific information. This can help show if a tree is under attack from insects or other organisms”可知,TreeTalker将诸如生长,二氧化碳吸收,液体从根部流向叶子等生理信号转化为科学信息。this指代上文提到的事情,也就是这些信息,即显示一棵树是否受到了害虫或其他生物的攻击的信息,生态生理信息。结合选项,故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“About 300 TreeTalker devices are being tested in Italy and other countries, such as China and Russia. Another 1,700 devices are expected to be tested worldwide this year”可知,在意大利和中国、俄罗斯等其他国家,大约有300台设备正在测试使用,预计,今年全球将再测试1700台设备。由此可判断,作者认为TreeTalker device很有前景。结合选项,故选A。
【点睛】推理判断题要求同学们在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上,做出一定的判断和推理,从而文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理判断题属于主观性较强的高层次阅读理解题,做这类题目时,同学们应严格依据作者所陈述的细节、事实以及作者的措辞、态度和语气等,找出能够表露作者思想倾向和感情色彩的词语,然后利用自己已获得的相关知识进行推理判断,从而得出符合逻辑的结论。以本文第四小题为例,我们可以根据最后一段“About 300 TreeTalker devices are being tested in Italy and other countries, such as China and Russia. Another 1,700 devices are expected to be tested worldwide this year”推测出作者的态度,认为TreeTalker device很有前景,故选A。

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The home humidity (湿度) is a measurement of the amount of vaporized (汽化了的) water in the air of the home. Humidity levels are naturally higher in warmer climates and lower in cooler climates. ___16___Older and less energy efficient homes tend to have lower indoor humidity levels, while modern homes with higher energy efficiency tend to have higher humidity levels.
Both high and low home humidity levels can cause problems. Humidity levels that are too high can affect paint and cause mold (霉菌) . Humidity levels that are too low can cause cracks in your drywall and affect furniture. ___17___
You may wonder what exact level of humidity you should have. Generally, people are most comfortable when home humidity is between 20 and 60 percent. ____18____ It can balance your need for comfort with the conditions that are less likely to damage your house.
___19___ It doesn't require expensive equipment. Just drop three ice cubes into a glass, add water, shake it and wait for three minutes ; if moisture(水汽) does not form on the outside of the glass, you may need to increase humidity. On the other hand, if you notice frequent fogging of your windows, you may have too much humidity in your home.
Daily activities like cooking can add water to the air in your home. If the home humidity level is top high, you can start cooking with pans covered. ___20___ If these basic changes don't help correct the problem, use a dehumidifier.
A. This is the ideal humidity level.
B. You must add water on a regular basis.
C. High humidity levels can damage furniture.
D. So do avoid too high and also too low humidity levels.
E. Taking shorter showers may also control the humidity.

【17题详解】
根据上文“Humidity levels that are too low can cause cracks in your drywall and affect furniture”可知,温度 过低会导致干墙开裂,影响家具。D(所以要避免过高和过低的温度),承接上文。故选D。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Generally, people are most comfortable when home humidity is between 20 and 60 percent”可知,当家里的湿度在20%到60%之间时,人们感到最舒服。A(这是理想的湿度水平),承上启下,符合题意。故选A。
【19题详解】
本空应选一个主旨句。根据下文“It doesn't require expensive equipment. Just drop three ice cubes into a glass, add water, shake it and wait for three minutes”它不需要昂贵的设备,只需把三块冰块倒进玻璃杯,加水,摇匀,等三分钟。是湿度测量的简单方法。故F(家庭湿度水平可以用简单的方法测量)符合题意。故选F。
【20题详解】
根据上文“If the home humidity level is top high, you can start cooking with pans covered.”如果家里的湿度很高,你可以盖上锅盖开始做饭,可知,这是控制湿度的方法。故E(缩短淋浴时间也可以控制湿度),也是控制湿度的方法,符合语境。故选E。
【点睛】七选五题型要求考生从整体上把握文章的逻辑结构和内容上的联系,理解句子之间、段落之间的关系,对诸如连贯性、一致性等语段特征有较强的意识和熟练的把握。所以懂得整篇文章的基本结构或段落的语篇结构对解题很有用。
以第4小题为例。分析本段可知,本段是让选出一个主题句。根据下文“It doesn't require expensive equipment. Just drop three ice cubes into a glass, add water, shake it and wait for three minutes”它不需要昂贵的设备,只需把三块冰块倒进玻璃杯,加水,摇匀,等三分钟。是湿度测量的简单方法。故F(家庭湿度水平可以用简单的方法测量)符合题意。故选F。

42. were asked
43. creative
44. working
45. which 46. found
47. poorest
48. While\Although
49. actually

【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。美国伊利诺伊大学的科学家将几个学生分成四组。学生们被要求对不同的噪音背景下做一些涉及“创造”思维的任务。他们发现,虽然高水平的噪音会分散人们的注意力,但适度的噪音实际上可以增加创造力。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意:美国伊利诺伊大学的科学家将几个学生分成四组。divide…into…固定搭配,意为“把…分成…”。根据句意,故填into。
【42题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:学生们被要求在不同的背景噪音下做一些涉及“创造”思维的任务。分析句子可知,学生与要求之间是被动关系,故应用被动语态;且文章用的是一般过去时。故填were asked。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意:学生们被要求在不同的背景噪音下做一些涉及“创造”思维的任务。creative thinking固定搭配,意为“创造性思维”,形容词作定语。故填creative。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他们发现,当在中等噪音-70分贝下工作时,学生表现最好。分析句子可知,这是when引导的省略句。因work与逻辑主语students之间是主动关系,故填working。
【45题详解】
考查非限制定语从句。句意:这与在咖啡馆工作时的水平差不多。分析句子可知,这是一个非限制定语从句。先行词是decibels(分贝),非限制定语从句中缺主语,故填which。
【46题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这与在咖啡馆工作时的水平差不多。分析句子可知,句中已有谓语动词is,故此处应用非谓语;且find与the same level之间是被动关系。故填found。
【47题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:学生在低噪音(50分贝,安静房间的音量)下表现更差,在高噪音环境(85分贝,工厂的噪音水平)下表现最差。根据上文“Students did worse in low noise-50 decibels,”(学生在低噪音(50分贝,安静房间的音量)下表现更差),此处表示与上文的比较,上文用的是比较级,故此处应用最高级。故填worst。
【48题详解】
考查连词。句意:虽然高水平的噪音会分散人们的注意力,但适度的噪音实际上可以增加创造力。空后的句子是高水平的噪音会分散人们的注意力,后面的句子是适度的噪音实际上可以增加创造力,显然前者是后面的一个“让步”,这里是一个让步状语从句,While/Although都是“即使,尽管”的意思,引导一个让步状语从句。故填While/Although。
【49题详解】
考查副词。句意:虽然高水平的噪音会分散人们的注意力,但适度的噪音实际上可以增加创造力。分析句子可知,此句是一个完整的句子不缺成分,actually副词,意为“实际上”修饰整个句子。故填actually。
【50题详解】
考查动词。然而,在一个非常安静的地方工作可以加强我们的注意力,并且有利于做一些详细的事情,比如校对一篇论文。分析句子可知,此句缺少谓语动词,故应填一个动词。空前的can是一个情态动词,故直接填strong的动词strengthen。
第四部分 写作(共两节,满分35分)
第一节 短文改错(共10小题,每小题1分,满分10分)
51.假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误,每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。
增加:在缺词处加一个漏子符号(∧)并在其下面写出该加的词。

When the summer heat hits countries like China and Japan, woman often carry umbrellas to protect themselves of the strong sunlight. However, a few men are seen doing such in these countries. At most, they might wear a hat-carry an umbrella would be considered silly and even inappropriate for a man.
However, this belief had been changing in recent years. In several parts of Japan, including Tokyo, men are being encouraged use umbrellas to protect them. People are starting to believe that Japanese men do and still be manly.
【答案】
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇说明文。当中国和日本这样的国家受到夏季高温的侵袭时,女士们常常带着雨伞来保护自己免受强烈的阳光照射。然而,在这些国家,几乎没有男人这样做。他们至多戴一顶帽子——带一把伞会被认为是愚蠢的,甚至不适合男人。
【详解】1. 考查名词。woman是可数名词,此处表示女士们常常带着雨伞来保护自己免受强烈的阳光照射。故应用woman的复数。故把woman改为women。
2. 考查介词。protect…from/against…固定搭配,意为“保护……不受……的伤害”。故把of改为form/against。
3. 考查冠词。a few意为“一些;几个”,few意为“几乎没有”。根据下文可知,几乎没有男士带伞。故去掉a。
4. 考查代词。so是一个代词,意为“这样做”。指代上文的东西。such没有这种用法。故把such改为so。
5. 考查动名词。分析句子可知,此句是动名词做主语。故把carry改为carrying。
6. 考查连词。句意:带一把伞会被认为是愚蠢的,或者被认为是不适合男人。分析句子可知,这里表示选择关系,而不是并列关系。故把and改为or。
7. 考查时态。根据句子中的时间标志词“in recent years”以及本段的时态是一般现在时可知,这是应用现在完成时。故把had改为has。
8. 考查介词。be encouraged to do sth固定用法,意为“被鼓励去做某事”。故在encouraged后加to。
9. 考查反身代词。句意:在日本的一些地方,包括东京,人们鼓励男性使用雨伞来保护他们自己。根据句意可知,是鼓励男性保护他们自己。故应用反身代词。故把them 改为themselves。
10. 考查宾语从句。分析句子可知,此句是一个宾语从句。且do后面缺少宾语。故把that改为what。
第二节 书面表达(满分25分)

An extraordinary new restaurant in Semarang, Indonesia is on a mission (使命) to support locals trapped in poverty, many of whom are earning less than $25 a month, by providing them with an alternative way to pay for their food.
The Methane Gas Canteen, run by husband and wife team Sarimin and Suyatmi, is located in an unexpected place for an eatery — Jatibarang Landfill. The landfill is a mountain of purifying waste, where poor locals spend their days collecting plastic and glass to sell. Meanwhile, the couple, who spent 40 years collecting waste before opening the restaurant, is busy cooking.
What makes the restaurant unusual aside from its location, is that no cash is required to pay for meals. Poor people have the option to pay for their food with recyclable waste instead of cash. Sarimin weighs the plastic customers bring in, calculates its worth, and then deduct that value from the cost of the meal, giving any extra value back to the customer. The scheme is part of the community’s solution to reduce waste in the landfill and recycle non-degradable plastics.
“I think we recycle 1 ton of plastic waste a day, which is a lot. This way, the plastic waste doesn’t pile up, drift down the river and cause flooding,” said Sarimin in an interview with Channel News Asia. “It benefits everyone.”
The restaurant seats about 30 people and serves meals that cost between $0.40 and $0.80 each. Since opening the canteen Sarimin and Suyatmi have seen their daily income more than double to $15 a day.
“I’m happy to see our customers enjoying their meals,” Sarimin told NHK World. “The poor must also have the right to enjoy healthy eating. I want to give them that chance as much as possible.”

A. An unusual restaurant for people to eat free meals.
B. A mountain where the locals live on selling waste.
C. A place where poor locals collect waste to sell.
D. A plant where waste is recycled.

A. To double their daily income and profit.
B. To prove waste is a valuable thing.
C. To provide food for locals trying to survive.
D. To help settle the issues of poverty and trash.
10. What does the underlined word “deduct” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Increase B. Replace
C. Remove D. Equal
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. An unusual way to pay for meals.
B. A local mission to help get rid of poverty.

A device called a TreeTalker is providing information about trees to people who oversee forests and woodlands. The device aims to measure the growth and general health of trees.
Scientists say forests are important because they absorb, or take in, carbon dioxide, one of the gases released by burning oil and other fossil fuels. It is a heat-trapping gas and has been linked to a general warming in the Earth's atmosphere.
The world is at a historic period for climate change because the scientific world is on guard. Many scientists say “Be careful, the ecosystem of the forests is not able anymore, as it was before, to absorb all this carbon dioxide.” Rising temperatures are placing forests under increased stress. Harmful insects and diseases are becoming more of a threat to trees. This is bad for the environment.
The TreeTalker devices serve as an early warning system for people overseeing forests. TreeTalker turns eco-physiological signals, such as growth, absorption of carbon dioxide, liquid flow from roots to leaves, into scientific information. This can help show if a tree is under attack from insects or other organisms. The TreeTalker sends its information to forest managers.
The TreeTalker device transmits data via radio and it can transmit data actually a very long distance, up to one kilometer. The information lets forestry officials take action immediately to control threats. The TreeTalker is able to measure the width of the bottom of a tree. Timber industry workers can use this information to know how much wood they are growing compared to how much they are harvesting. Another goal is to give scientists the information they need to understand how climate affects forests and the part trees play in a healthy environment.
About 300 TreeTalker devices are being tested in Italy and other countries, such as China and Russia. Another 1,700 devices are expected to be tested worldwide this year.
12. What was the TreeTalker device used for?
A. Providing information of forests change.
B. Absorbing carbon dioxide.
C. Controlling threats from nature.
D. Helping the growth and health of trees.
13 Which of the following threats to forests is the most severe?
A. Harmful insects and diseases. B. Forest managers.
C. Carbon dioxide. D. Timber industry workers.
14. What does the underlined word “This” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The information of an early warning system.
B. The information on the absorption of carbon dioxide.
C. The information of eco-physiological signals.
D. The information to the forest managers.
15. What’s the author’s attitude towards the TreeTalker device?
A. Promising. B. Alarming.
C. Doubting. D. Understanding.
【答案】12. A 13. A 14. C 15. A

Just drop three ice cubes into a glass, add water, shake it and wait for three minutes ; if moisture(水汽) does not form on the outside of the glass, you may need to increase humidity. On the other hand, if you notice frequent fogging of your windows, you may have too much humidity in your home.
Daily activities like cooking can add water to the air in your home. If the home humidity level is top high, you can start cooking with pans covered. ___20___ If these basic changes don't help correct the problem, use a dehumidifier.

本文是一篇说明文。美国伊利诺伊大学的科学家将几个学生分成四组。学生们被要求对不同的噪音背景下做一些涉及“创造”思维的任务。他们发现,虽然高水平的噪音会分散人们的注意力,但适度的噪音实际上可以增加创造力。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意:美国伊利诺伊大学的科学家将几个学生分成四组。divide…into…固定搭配,意为“把…分成…”。根据句意,故填into。
【42题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:学生们被要求在不同的背景噪音下做一些涉及“创造”思维的任务。分析句子可知,学生与要求之间是被动关系,故应用被动语态;且文章用的是一般过去时。故填were asked。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意:学生们被要求在不同的背景噪音下做一些涉及“创造”思维的任务。creative thinking固定搭配,意为“创造性思维”,形容词作定语。故填creative。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他们发现,当在中等噪音-70分贝下工作时,学生表现最好。分析句子可知,这是when引导的省略句。因work与逻辑主语students之间是主动关系,故填working。
【45题详解】
考查非限制定语从句。句意:这与在咖啡馆工作时的水平差不多。分析句子可知,这是一个非限制定语从句。先行词是decibels(分贝),非限制定语从句中缺主语,故填which。
【46题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这与在咖啡馆工作时的水平差不多。分析句子可知,句中已有谓语动词is,故此处应用非谓语;且find与the same level之间是被动关系。故填found。
【47题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:学生在低噪音(50分贝,安静房间的音量)下表现更差,在高噪音环境(85分贝,工厂的噪音水平)下表现最差。根据上文“Students did worse in low noise-50 decibels,”(学生在低噪音(50分贝,安静房间的音量)下表现更差),此处表示与上文的比较,上文用的是比较级,故此处应用最高级。故填worst。
【48题详解】
考查连词。句意:虽然高水平的噪音会分散人们的注意力,但适度的噪音实际上可以增加创造力。空后的句子是高水平的噪音会分散人们的注意力,后面的句子是适度的噪音实际上可以增加创造力,显然前者是后面的一个“让步”,这里是一个让步状语从句,While/Although都是“即使,尽管”的意思,引导一个让步状语从句。故填While/Although。
【49题详解】
考查副词。句意:虽然高水平的噪音会分散人们的注意力,但适度的噪音实际上可以增加创造力。分析句子可知,此句是一个完整的句子不缺成分,actually副词,意为“实际上”修饰整个句子。故填actually。
【50题详解】
考查动词。然而,在一个非常安静的地方工作可以加强我们的注意力,并且有利于做一些详细的事情,比如校对一篇论文。分析句子可知,此句缺少谓语动词,故应填一个动词。空前的can是一个情态动词,故直接填strong的动词strengthen。

However, this belief had been changing in recent years. In several parts of Japan, including Tokyo, men are being encouraged use umbrellas to protect them. People are starting to believe that Japanese men do and still be manly.
【答案】
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇说明文。当中国和日本这样的国家受到夏季高温的侵袭时,女士们常常带着雨伞来保护自己免受强烈的阳光照射。然而,在这些国家,几乎没有男人这样做。他们至多戴一顶帽子——带一把伞会被认为是愚蠢的,甚至不适合男人。
【详解】1. 考查名词。woman是可数名词,此处表示女士们常常带着雨伞来保护自己免受强烈的阳光照射。故应用woman的复数。故把woman改为women。
2. 考查介词。protect…from/against…固定搭配,意为“保护……不受……的伤害”。故把of改为form/against。
3. 考查冠词。a few意为“一些;几个”,few意为“几乎没有”。根据下文可知,几乎没有男士带伞。故去掉a。
4. 考查代词。so是一个代词,意为“这样做”。指代上文的东西。such没有这种用法。故把such改为so。
5. 考查动名词。分析句子可知,此句是动名词做主语。故把carry改为carrying。
6. 考查连词。句意:带一把伞会被认为是愚蠢的,或者被认为是不适合男人。分析句子可知,这里表示选择关系,而不是并列关系。故把and改为or。
7. 考查时态。根据句子中的时间标志词“in recent years”以及本段的时态是一般现在时可知,这是应用现在完成时。故把had改为has。
8. 考查介词。be encouraged to do sth固定用法,意为“被鼓励去做某事”。故在encouraged后加to。
9. 考查反身代词。句意:在日本的一些地方,包括东京,人们鼓励男性使用雨伞来保护他们自己。根据句意可知,是鼓励男性保护他们自己。故应用反身代词。故把them 改为themselves。
10. 考查宾语从句。分析句子可知,此句是一个宾语从句。且do后面缺少宾语。故把that改为what。
