【解析】試題分析:短文大意:本文敘述了布萊克先生失業(yè)后和幾個老人在樹下談論的事情。他們都認為老人比年輕人聰明。他們也都認為年輕人比老人強壯。但是布萊克先生不這樣認為。他說,他年輕時搬不動他家附近的一塊石頭,現(xiàn)在老了,還是搬不動那塊石頭,所以他認為年老時和年輕時一樣強壯。
【1】考查形容詞及語境理解。句意:所以他每天有很多時間去做事。many 許多的,修飾可數(shù)名詞; a lot 很多;lots of 很多的,修飾可數(shù)名詞或不可數(shù)名詞;lot份額。修飾不可數(shù)名詞time,故用lots of,所以選C。
【2】考查動詞短語及語境理解。句意:他們在那里喝茶,談論他們喜歡的任何事情。talked for 為……說話;talked to 與……交談;talked with 與……交談;talked about.談論關于;此處的賓語是anything,故結合句意,表示談論某事,所以選D。
【3】考查形容詞及語境理解。句意:他們都認為老人比年輕人更聰明。clever 聰明的; cleverer 更聰明的; cleverest 最聰明的; a clever一個聰明的;根據(jù)介詞than,可知此處用形容詞的比較級,所以選B。
【4】考查名詞及語境理解。句意:其中一個老人說,小伙子比老頭子更強壯。man男人; woman 女人; men 男人們; women 女人們;根據(jù)前文的some old men were sitting together again 可知此處是一些老男人,所以選C。
【5】考查代詞及語境理解。句意:他們所有人都同意這是對的。All 所有,表示三者或三者以上;None 沒有一個,表示三者或三者以上;Both 兩個都;Neither兩者都不;根據(jù)some old men可知此處是三人以上,結合句意表示同意,所以選A。
【6】考查連詞及語境理解。句意:但是布萊克先生不這樣認為。 so 所以;or 或者;and 而且;but但是。前半句大家都同意,后半句布萊克先生不這樣認為,故此處表示轉折關系,故用連詞but,所以選D。
【7】考查介詞及語境理解。句意:他的朋友對他所說的話感到驚訝。at 在;to 向;of 的;on 在……上面。be surprised at“對……感到驚訝”所以選A。
【8】考查非謂語動詞及語境理解。句意:當我年輕的時候,我過去常常努力著去搬它,但是搬不動。trying 努力,現(xiàn)在分詞; try 努力,動詞原形; to try 努力,動詞不定式; to trying努力。used to do sth過去常常做某事;be used to doing sth.習慣做某事。結合句意,表示過去常常搬,所以選C。
【9】考查形容詞及語境理解。句意:因為我不夠強壯,我搬不動。enough修飾形容詞時,位于形容詞的后面,故排除BD兩項。strong enough 足夠強壯的weak enough 足夠虛弱的; 根據(jù)but I couldn’t可知我搬不動,是因為不夠強壯,所以選A。
【10】考查情態(tài)動詞及語境理解。句意:現(xiàn)在我老了,我努力去搬它,還是搬不動。can 能;can’t 不能;could 能,can的過去式; couldn’t不能,can’t 的過去式;根據(jù)I am an old man now,可知此處用一般現(xiàn)在時,結合句意,表示不能搬動,所以選B。

【題目】5-second rule:what’s the truth?
Almost everyone has dropped some food on the floor and still wanted to eat it. If someone saw you drop it, he or she might have shouted, “5-second rule!”This so-called rule says food is OK to eat if you pick it up in five seconds or less. But is that true?
Professor Anthony Hilton from Ashton University, UK, tested the rule with his students. They found that food dropped for five seconds is less likely to contain bacteria(細菌) than if it sits there for longer.
For the study, Hilton and his students tested a lot of food—bread, pasta, cookies and candy—to see how much bacteria they had when they made contact with the floor. They allowed the food to lie on various types of flooring-carpet, laminate(復合地板), and tile (瓷磚) for three seconds to 30 seconds.
Not surprisingly, the longer the food was on the floor, the more bacteria it had. And the type of floor where the dropped food landed had an effect. Bacteria are least likely to transfer from carpet, while they’re most likely to transfer from laminate or tiled surfaces after more than five seconds.
The study also found that the wetter the food, the more likely it was to pick up bacteria. Although most people are happy to follow the 5-second rule, eating food dropped on the floor still carried an infection(感染) risk. “It very much depends on which bacteria are on the floor at the time,” Hilton told Forbes.
【1】What is the “5-second rule” about?
A. People often shout at someone when they drop food on the floor.
B. Food is safe when you pick up off the floor in less than five seconds.
C. It’s better to eat dropped food when it’s been on the floor for over five seconds.
D. Food will go bad when dropped on the floor in five second or less.
【2】Hilton’s test wanted to find out ________.
A. if the “5-second rule” is true??? B. the students’ favourite food
C. which food is easily dropped??? D. if different types of floor have different bacteria
【3】According to the test, we learn the following EXCEPT ________.
A. the dropped food had more bacteria if it sat on the floor for longer
B. the dropped food on carpet had the least bacteria
C. bacteria was impossible to transfer from laminate or tied surfaces
D. the wetter food was more likely to pick up bacteria
【4】According to the article, the infection risk of the dropped food does NOT depend on _______.
A. how long the food sits on the floor??? B. what the dropped food was
C. what the bacteria are??? D. what the weather is like that day

【題目】The Silk Road is the name of different roads that long ago connected Europe, Africa and Asia. People reached these different places along these roads. Scientists believe people began to travel the Silk Road about 3000 years ago. By the time the Chinese silk trade became important in the world. The Silk Road covered almost 6500 kilometers. It went from Rome to China, which is from the West to the Far East.
Merchants travelled along the Silk Road to carry silk, of course. They also carried and traded other things like spices (香料), cloth, jewels and gold.

It included people and trading goods from different areas. All these peoples travelled the Silk Road. And they shared goods, stories, languages, and cultures.
In modern times, the old Silk Road routes (路線) are still used, but now they are crossed by trains instead of camels and horses. There is even silk route museum in Jiuquan in China.

【題目】Are you angry when others smoke in a restaurant or shopping mall? You don't have to worry about it anymore. People can't smoke in public indoor places in China now.
Smoking is a bad habit. Smokers are more likely to get lung cancer(肺癌) and heart disease. Besides, if you smoke a lot, your teeth and fingers may turn an ugly yellow.
Smoking is also harmful to non-smokers because they can get sick from breathing in second-hand smoke. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2008, second-hand smoke causes about 600,000 deaths every year.
According to WHO, two million people die because of smoking every year. So it is very important to ban(禁止)smoking. On January 1, 2007, smoking in most public places in Hong Kong, China became illegal(非法的). The UK also introduced the ban in 2007.
Different countries have different ways of helping people to stop smoking. In Thailand(泰國), scary(恐怖的) signs come on the cigarette packs, such as pictures of black lungs of a smoking skull(骷髏). People might change their minds about smoking when they see this.
【1】People can’t smoke in any ________ ________ places in China now.
