In 1839 the Clements family moved to Hannibal,Missouri,on the Mississippi River where he was brought  (63)up.Like many authors of his day he had little formal education.His education came from the print shops and newspaper offices  (64)wherehe worked as a youth.In 1853 Twain left Hannibal to travel.On a trip to New Orleans he persuaded a riverboat pilot  (65)to teach(teach) him his skill.By the spring of 1859 Twain was a licensed riverboat pilot.

解答 61.known 62.the 63.up 64.where 65.to teach
66.unsuccessful 67.were collected 68.including 69.As 70.that
詳解:
61.答案known.考查過去分詞.be known as因…而聞名,此處用過去分詞作定語,修飾前文的"Samuel Langhorne Clemens".
62.答案the.考查冠詞.此處考查the+最高級結構,the greatest最偉大的.
63.答案up.考查介詞.bring up為固定搭配,意為"養(yǎng)育,使成長".
64.答案where.考查限制性定語從句.where引導限制性定語從句修飾先行詞the print shops and newspaper offices,并在從句中充當?shù)攸c狀語.
65.答案to teach.考查不定式.persuade sb.to do sth.說服某人做某事,故填to teach.
66.答案unsuccessful.考查形容詞.根據(jù)句意,在一次不成功的采金銀礦之后,他加入了內華達州維吉尼亞城的報社,此空要填入一個形容詞修飾名詞attempt,意為"不成功的",故填unsuccessful.
67.答案were collected.考查時態(tài)語態(tài).根據(jù)句意,他的旅行信件被收入流行的《傻子出國記》.letters與collect之間為被動關系,時態(tài)為過去,故用一般過去時的被動語態(tài),即were collected.
68.答案including.考查非謂語.這句話謂語為wrote,謂語動詞與include之間沒有并列連詞,排除作并列謂語的可能性,考慮非謂語.seven novels與include之間為主動關系,故V-ing形式表示主動,填including.句意:1889年,他寫了七部小說包括密西西比河系列.
69.答案As.考查連詞.根據(jù)句意,隨著生活和事業(yè)的進步,他放棄了太多早年寫作時的幽默風格.a(chǎn)s引導時間狀語從句,表示"隨著…".
70.答案that.考查表語從句.空格前的was是一個系動詞,系動詞之后的從句為表語從句.表語從句采用"主+系+表"結構,句子成分完整,用that引導表語從句.

點評 作答之前,要先對題干進行詳細閱讀,檢查題目中是否有提示詞語存在;而后判斷出所填詞語在句子中所充當?shù)木渥映煞郑,主語、謂語等;最后根據(jù)其所充當?shù)木渥映煞,加之其所處句子的語態(tài)等,選擇詞語的正確形式,例如,動詞的現(xiàn)在分詞或者過去分詞,或者形容詞的比較或者最高級的使用等.
在句子中沒有提示詞或者標志詞存在時,考生要根據(jù)句子中所填詞語的位置,判斷所填詞語的詞性,例如,連接詞、定冠詞或者不定冠詞、代詞或者介詞等.定冠詞以及不定冠詞的位置通常在名詞之前,起到對名詞進行限制的作用.而代詞則分為形容詞性物主代詞、名詞性代詞、指示代詞和不定代詞等.在運用介詞的時候,往往考查介詞的固定搭配,其中包括動詞、形容詞等與介詞的搭配.

11.First lady Michelle Obama turns 50on Friday,Jan.17,2014.
Michelle Obama has spent the first half-century of her life breaking barriers and checking off a series of firsts.Now,as she reaches her milestone birthday Friday,the nation will be watching to see in what other areas she will leave her mark.
Five years after moving into the White House,and without a re-election campaign to worry about,she has more room to relax in her role and,political watchers say,possibly become more vocal (聲音的) on political issues in the three years left in office.
So far,critics have complained about Michelle's silence on issues where they expected to hear her voice:Last year,at the start of her husband's second term,she disappointed advocates for tighter gun-control measures after she failed to push harder on the issue in response to the massacre (殘殺) at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown,Conn.She also disappointed some feminists (女權主義者) who wanted her to defend their causes instead of falling back on her self-described role as the nation's"mom-in-chief."Nor did she handle racial issues during her second term,as some had expected.
"The most important thing to remember is,whether you are black,white or Hispanic,you're the first lady and the president of all the people in the United States.That's a huge melting pot,so to reinforce (強化)that she's African American over anything else would not be wise,"said Anita McBride,who directs programming and national conferences on the legacies (遺產(chǎn)) of America's first ladies and their historical influence at American University.
Valerie Jarrett,a top White House adviser and a close friend of the Obamas,said the first lady doesn't want to  "spread herself too thin."
"She really wants to have a maximum impact and to do that in fewer areas,"Jarrett told the Associated Press."That,she said,"is better than trying to take on every single possible cause."
But Robert Watson,a Lynn University professor,said he expects Obama to"go a little harder at issues"over the next several years."Second-term first ladies usually feel more at ease to speak more forcefully about issues close to their heart,"he said.
Myra Gutin,a Ryder University communications professor and frequent lecturer on first ladies,said she expects Obama to continue making both of them a priority in her remaining years in the White House,given their success.Michelle launched the"Let's Move"campaign in 2010.It in particular has gained widespread support,ranging from the National Football League to the Sesame Street franchise (特許),which even gave permission to the produce industry to use its licensed characters for free on fruits and vegetables.
"There's no such thing as a traditional first lady,not anymore in this technology-filled world.Is Mrs.Obama cutting edge?Is she an activist?No.As first ladies go,I think she's been politically careful because she does not want there to be a major flare-up that would require her husband to use his political capital to clean up,"she said."But she's not exactly just sitting in the White House pouring tea and having receptions,either."

28.Critics were disappointed with Michelle becauseD.
A.she didn't put gun-control measures into effect
B.she failed some feminists to stand out to be a career woman
C.she didn't solve some racial problems
D.she failed to voice her opinion on some issues
29.According to the professors or advisers,which of the following statements is NOT true?D
A.It's not wise to reinforce Michelle is African American over anything else.
B.It's better for Michelle to have a maximum impact than to take on every possible cause.
C.It's expected for Michelle to go a little harder at issues.
D.It's a tradition for first ladies to stay out of political issues.
30.What does the underlined phrase"spread herself too thin"in Paragraph 6mean?A
A.Try to do a lot of work at the same time.
B.Get very tired.
C.Try to improve physical fitness.

15.The British"Daily Telegraph"
Traditionally regarded as one of the safest planes in the skies,the Boeing 777's reputation will have been damaged by the second fatal crash in less than a year.There are around 1,000Boeing 777s in service,and the plane is a long distance machine,travelling some of the longest routes.It entered service in 1995and the National Transportation Safety Board,which is responsible for monitoring US-made aircraft,has recorded fewer than 60incidents.
But the recent record hasn't been exact with two major incidents-a crash at San Francisco airport last July,which causes three lives,and the crash-landing of a British Airways 777at Heathrow in January 2008.
To our sadness,two days ago,Malaysia Airlines Flight 370lost contact flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.The Malaysian disaster is very different from both the BA incident and the crash involving an Asian Airlines flights at San Francisco International Airport in July,which occurred shortly before landing,while the Malaysia airlines plane disappeared off the radar(雷達)during the early stages of the trip.
The accident at San Francisco in July was due to pilot error which led to the engines being set to idle because he believed the computer would maintain sufficient speed to keep the plane up in the air.The BA crash landing,which did not result in any deaths,was finally found to have been caused by a block in the fuel line feeding the engine.
However,the Malaysia airlines plane disappeared off the radar during the early stages of the trip.No exact explanations have been given for the Malaysia airlines plane crash.First reports suggest that Zaharie Ahmad Shah,the 53-year-old Malaysian airlines pilot,was hugely experienced-having joined the carrier in 1981and with 18,365hours in the aircraft under his belt.

25.Which of the following is TRUE of the plane crashes?C
A.There are four plane crashes mentioned in the passage
B.The BA incident in July resulted from the pilot error
C.Three deaths were caused in the crash at San Francisco
D.The crash in San Francisco airport was caused by a block
26.What can we learn from the next?A
A.The exact reason for 370crash is not clear
B.Flight 370crash must be similar to the BA incident
C.The experienced pilot of Flight 370can't have operated wrong
D.Flight 370must have been taken control of to a different place
27.What you read isD.
A.a(chǎn) note            B.a(chǎn) schedule       C.a(chǎn) review         D.a(chǎn) news report
28.The main purpose of the passage is toA.
A.introduce the Flight 370crash
B.show Boeing 777's safety
C.guess the cause of the Flight 370crash
D.compare the causes of these plane crashes.
