【題目】閱讀下面材料,在空白處填入1個適當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~或括號內(nèi)單詞的正確形式。

Today we talk about a word that is a feeling as well as a place. This word is “home.” Long ago in the 1700s, “home” was used as a verb, 1 (mean) “to be guided to a destination.” So, when you home in on something, you get 2 (close) to your target. For example, you could say, “Police are homing in on the suspects.” That is also where we get homing pigeons-pigeons that can find 3 (they) way home after being released.

But today, “home” is more often used as a noun. And it has a very emotional 4 (connect) for American English speakers. You can remember the meaning of the word by the expression “home is 5 the heart is.” That expression means home is anywhere you feel love and comfort. It is a place where you belong, and often a place you consider your origin. In other 6 (word), “home” is not 7 (simple) a building where you live—that’s a house. There is a big difference 8 a home and a house.

The writer, Thomas Wolfe, had 9 different idea about home. In 1940, his book “You Can’t Go Home Again” 10 (publish). Today we use this title to mean that the ideas and feelings that you had as a child often change when you are an adult. So, even if you return to the place where you grew up, time and distance have changed your perspective (觀點(diǎn)).

【解析】本文談?wù)摰氖顷P(guān)于一個既有一種感覺又是一個地方的單詞。這個詞是
home!文章敘述了這個詞的來由及發(fā)展。

1考查現(xiàn)在分詞。很久以前,在18世紀(jì),被用作動詞,意思是被引導(dǎo)到一個目的地。此處“home”mean之間是主動關(guān)系,所以用現(xiàn)在分詞做伴隨狀態(tài),故答案為meaning。

2考查比較級。當(dāng)你在某件事上回家時,你會更接近你的目標(biāo)。get closer to更靠近---,故答案為closer。

3考查形容詞性物主代詞。這也是我們得到歸巢的鴿子的地方——鴿子在被釋放后可以找到回家的路。此處way是名詞,用形容詞修飾名詞,故答案為their。

4考查名詞。它對美國的說英語的人有一種情感上的聯(lián)系。此處emotional是形容詞,修飾名詞,故答案為connection。

5考查表語從句。你可以記住這個詞的意思,家是心所在的地方。結(jié)合句意,此處is后面是where引導(dǎo)的表語從句,故答案為where。

6考查固定結(jié)構(gòu)。In other words換句話說,故答案為words。

7考查副詞。不僅僅是你住的房子——那是一個家庭。此處副詞修飾整個句子,故答案為simply。

8考查介詞。家和房子之間有很大的區(qū)別。between---and---,------之間---,故答案為between。

9考查不定冠詞。作家托馬斯沃爾夫?qū)矣幸粋不同的看法。一個不同的看法,故答案為a。

10考查被動語態(tài)。根據(jù)in 1940,再根據(jù)句子主語his bookpublish之間是被動關(guān)系,可知句子用一般過去時態(tài)的被動語態(tài),故答案為was published。

【題目】Blowing bubbles is fun! The best thing about bubbles is that it's easy to make your own bubble solution(溶液). You can make as much as you want and blow as many bubbles as you'd like. Do you know the secret of making bigger and stronger bubbles? Do just as follows:

Measure 6 cups of water into one container, then pour 1 cup of dish soap into the water and slowly stir (攪拌) it until the soap is mixed in. Try not to let bubbles form while you stir.

Measure 1/4 cup of corn syrup and add it to the container. Stir the solution until it is mixed together.

You can use the solution right away, but to make even better bubbles, put the cap on the container and let your super bubble solution sit overnight. The soap mixture on the outside of a bubble is actually made of three very thin layers: soap, water, and another layer of soap. A bubble forms when the water between the layers of soap turns into gas. The corn syrup mixes with the soap to make it thicker. The thicker skin of the bubbles keeps the water from evaporating(蒸發(fā)) quickly, so they last longer. It also makes them stronger, so you can blow bigger bubbles.

Dip a bubble wand or straw into the mixture, slowly pull it out, wait a few seconds, and then blow. If you don't have a ready made "bubble wand", you can make your own bubble wand by cutting off the end of the bulb of a plastic pipet (移液管). Dip the cut end in the solution and blow through the narrow end. You can also make a circle out of thin wire or pipe cleaner. Just twist a round end on your wire to blow the bubbles through. You can even make it heart shaped, square or use other shapes if you're clever enough to bend it well.

1The text is written to _________ .

A. argue B. advertise C. entertain D. instruct

2The secret of making bigger and stronger bubbles lies in_________ .

A. soap B. corn syrup C. water D. straw

3The bubble wand is used to_________ .

A. blow bubbles B. mix the solution C. measure soap D. shape wires

4What can we infer from Paragraph 4?

A. More soap, more bubbles.

B. Less water, better bubbles.

C. Thicker layers, more bubbles.

D. Stronger skin, bigger bubbles.

【題目】Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one of life’s essentials. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.

But for many people the thought of food as first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast increased by 33 percent-from 8.8 million to 11.7 million-according to the Chicago-based Market Research Corporation of America.

For those who feel pain or guilt about not earing breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with not taking breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect performance,” said Arnold E. Bender, former professor of nutrition(營養(yǎng))at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor doe giving people breakfast improve performance.

Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children, not adults. “The literature,” says one researcher, Dr. Ernesto Pollitt at the University of Texas, “is poor.”

1For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that ______.

A. the missing of breakfast does no harm to one’s health.

B. several studies have been done in the past few years.

C. adults have especially made studies in this field.

D. eating little in the morning is good for health.

2The underlined sentence “…nor doe giving people breakfast improve performance” in the 3rd paragraph means ______.

A. anyone without breakfast does improve his performance.

B. not giving people breakfast improves performance.

C. people having breakfast do improve their performances, too.

D. having breakfast does not improve performance, either.

3The word “literature” in the last sentence refers to ______.

A. stories, poems, plays, etc.

B. written works on particular subject.

C. any printed material.

D. the modern literature of America.

4What is suggested but NOT STATED by the author is that ______.

A. breakfast does not affect performance.

B. Dr. Pollitt is engaged in research work at an institution of higher learning.

C. not eating breakfast might affect the health of children.

D. Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in London.
