【解析】

本文介紹了一位普通的郵遞員——薛瓦勒，通過自己的努力用石頭建成了一座城堡。

【1】句意：他就是一個普通的郵遞員。

根據(jù)第二段中“One day, he was delivering mails as usual.”可知，他像往常一樣在送信，所以他是一個郵遞員；postman是可數(shù)名詞，意為“郵遞員”。故填postman。

【2】句意：當他仰望天空時，突然失去了平衡。

根據(jù)下一句“It was a little stone that caught his feet.”可知，是一塊小石頭絆住了他的腳，所以他突然失去了平衡；suddenly是副詞，意為“突然地”。故填suddenly。

【3】句意：他有個想法，我可以用這么漂亮的石頭建一座城堡。

根據(jù)句中“a castle with such beautiful stones”可知，此處是“用漂亮的石頭建一座城堡”；build是動詞，意為“建造”。故填build。

【4】句意：在收集了足夠的石頭以后，他開始了。

根據(jù)后半句he started可知，此處是“他收集了足夠的石頭以后，開始建造城堡”；enough是形容詞，意為“足夠的”。故填enough。

【5】句意：但他仍然很高興，因為他知道這個夢想和這座城堡只屬于他。

根據(jù)句中“But he was still happy”可知，但是他很高興，這是因為他知道這個夢想和城堡只屬于他；because是連詞，意為“因為”，此處解釋他高興的原因。故填because。

【6】句意：正如他想象的那樣，這是一座美妙的城堡。

根據(jù)第二段中“He had a thought”可知，他有了建造城堡的想法，也就是說他想象過城堡的樣子，所以此處是“城堡和他想象的一樣美”；imagine是動詞，意為“想象”，根據(jù)句中was可知，時態(tài)為一般過去時，所以此處動詞使用過去式。故填imagined。

【7】句意：石頭城堡已經(jīng)成為法國最著名的旅游景點之一。

根據(jù)句中tourist可知，此處石頭城堡成了旅游景點；attraction是名詞，意為“吸引人的地方”，句中有one of結(jié)構，所以此處使用attraction的復數(shù)形式。故填attractions。

【題目】

Wind power is a very clean source of energy. This is how wind power works. Wind makes windmills spin (旋轉(zhuǎn)). When the windmills spin, they make electricity. Then we can use the electricity. A lot of people think that wind power is new, but that’s not true. For thousands of years, people have used wind to sail boats and move water. We still do those things today, but these days we mostly use wind power to make electricity.

Wind power is a very popular source of energy. Most people think that we should use it more and more. First of all, it’s clean. Windmills don’t pollute the environment at all. Second, we can use wind power forever. After all, we will always have wind. Also, wind power is cheap, and it’s getting even cheaper.

A lot of people don’t understand wind power very well. They believe that there are problems with wind power, but many of those problems are not real. For example, some people say that windmills are dangerous for birds. They used to be true, but it isn’t true anymore. Old windmills killed birds because they spun very fast. New windmills spin slowly, and they aren’t dangerous for birds.

However, there are real problems with windmills. One problem is that many people think windmills are very ugly. This is a problem for people, because windmills are often in very pretty areas. Also, wind doesn’t blow all the time, so we can’t use wind power all the time. Finally, windmills are noisy.

Wind power is becoming more and more common. Right now, more than 80 countries use wind power. About 2.5 percent of the world’s power comes from the wind. For some countries, that number is a lot higher. Wind power gives Denmark more than 25 percent of its electricity.

【1】Why DON’T new windmills kill birds? Because .

A. birds don’t fly near themB. they spin slowly

C. they are shorter than old windmillsD. new windmills don’t spin

【2】When did people start using wind power?

A. About 25 years ago.B. About 80 years ago.

C. About 500 years ago.D. Over 1,000 years ago.

【3】 , so we CAN’T use wind power all the time.

A. Windmills break all the timeB. We can’t use windmills at night

C. Windmills are too expensive to use all the timeD. Wind doesn’t blow all the time

【4】What does the article say about wind power?

A. Most people don’t like it.B. It’s getting cheaper.

C. Denmark doesn’t use it.D. It’s getting more expensive.

【5】What is the best title for the passage?

A. Expensive WindmillsB. Cheap and Clean Energy

C. Popular and Clean Wind PowerD. Dangerous Birds

【題目】Answer the questions.

Dear Grandma and Grandpa,

As you may have heard from my parents, I’m in China right now on a cultural exchange program. I’m enjoying my time here very much. I have made new friends here, many of whom are locals. Through my interaction（相互交流）with them, I’ve noticed some interesting cultural differences. One of the most obvious（ 明 顯 的 ）cultural differences is the size of food portions in restaurants. Back home in America, the food portions are usually larger than those I’ve seen in China. We’re even used to seeing super-sized dishes in some restaurants.

However, in Asia, food portions are generally not extremely large. I’m must encouraged to eat until I’m full and enjoy different kinds of food. Eating out in Asia is often a big social affair（社交活動）. People here eat out a lot. There are all kinds of restaurants. And there are food stands and food carts-even on the sidewalk（人行道）.

Another interesting aspect of eating out is the way food is served. Back home in America, each diner orders their own meal. When people eat out in Asia, they usually order food to share. Nearly every time I eat out with friends in China, each of us has our own bowl of rice or noodles, and we share the rest of the dishes. This is an excellent way to try new foods! One thing that makes me confused is the way people pay for food at a restaurant.

In the U.S. we often ask for separate（分開的）checks, so we each pay for our own meal. But here, if diners decide to pay separately, they typically don’t request separate checks. Instead, they give money to one person who pays the bill. People also don’t tip the server. Instead, there is often a service charge added to the bill.

I hope you are doing well. I’ll write you again!

Love, Margare
