In America, 4 (expense) gifts are definitely out. A good 5 (choose) is to take the deserving person to dinner, or to 6 entertainment or a sporting event. 7 the contrary, gift giving is a traditional custom in Japan. In Japan the proper gift is thought 8 (express)the giver's true friendship, gratitude and respect far 9 (well) than words can.

10be presented

【解析】

本文是一篇說明文,詳細解釋了世界各地不同文化中送禮的不同禮儀以及需要注意的事項

1考查連詞。本句中Australia, Canada, the United States European countries四部分形成并列結(jié)構(gòu),一起做介詞in的賓語。故填and。

2考查動名詞語法。句意:避免送一些高度私人化的禮物是非常重要的;動詞短語avoid doing sth避免做某事,其中動名詞doing sth做動詞avoid的賓語,故填giving。

3考查名詞單復(fù)數(shù)。句意:當(dāng)拜訪來著這些國家的同事家的時候,帶禮物是恰當(dāng)?shù)。橫線前面有these修飾,后面要接可是名詞復(fù)數(shù)形式。故填countries。

4考查形容詞。形容詞expensive意為昂貴的,在句中做定語修飾名詞gifts。句意:在美國,昂貴的禮物是不合適的。故填expensive。

5考查名詞。系動詞is前面是主語,主語通常是名詞或代詞,應(yīng)該使用代詞choose的名詞choice做主語。句意:好的選擇是帶客人去吃飯或去參加娛樂或體育活動。故填choice。

6考查不定冠詞。英語中不定冠詞a/an表示泛指,定冠詞the表示特指。本句中an修飾entertainment 或者a sporting event泛指一個娛樂或體育活動。故填an。

7考查固定短語。句意:恰恰相反,在日本送禮物是一個傳統(tǒng)。短語on the contrary恰恰相反。表示上下文的轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,故填On。

8考查不定式。句意:恰當(dāng)?shù)亩Y物被認為比語言可以更好地表達送禮者真誠的友誼。本句中不定式做補足語,起補充說明的作用。故填to express。

9考查比較級。本句中把送禮與語言相比,恰當(dāng)?shù)亩Y物被認為比語言可以更好地表達送禮者真誠的友誼。所以使用比較級形式better,故填better。

10考查語態(tài)。本句主語modest gifts, such as a diary, a paperweight, or a coffee cup與動詞present構(gòu)成被動關(guān)系,所以使用被動語態(tài)形式,故填be presented。

【題目】At one time, the Iroquois Indians lived along the lakes and rivers of the northern part of New York.The five tribes (部落) — the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca — fought with each other for years.

In the late 1500s, a wise Iroquois man named Dekanawida had a dream.In his dream, he saw the end of the Indian wars.An Onondaga chief named Hiawatha agreed to help Dekanawida bring peace to the area.Hiawatha traveled from tribe to tribe, trying to persuade the tribal leaders to unite in peace.The leaders realized that if they stopped fighting, they could become a powerful force in the Northeast area.

The leaders of the five tribes set up a league, called the Iroquois League, which brought all five tribes together.They set up a kind of democratic (民主的) government in which each tribe had an equal voice.A Great Council was formed.Fortynine chiefs from every tribe were appointed to the Council.The members were all men, but they were chosen by the elder women of the tribes.The Council worked together to solve big issues for the league, while each tribe remained selfgoverning.

In 1722, the Iroquois League increased from five to six tribes when the Tuscarora tribe joined them.The Iroquois League controlled the fur trade in the area.They controlled land from Canada to Kentucky.The Iroquois League remained powerful for over 200 years.

Then during the War of Independence, most of the Iroquois League sided with the British.After the Americans defeated the British, many Iroquois villages were destroyed.The Iroquois were forced to move and live on reservations (印第安人居留地).This caused the Iroquois League to become less powerful.

History shows that the writers of the United States Constitution used some of the same ideas as the Iroquois League.One section of the Iroquois Constitution is entitled “Rights of the People” and might be compared to the “Bill of Rights”.The Iroquois League’s constitution is often called America’s first democracy.

1The underlined word “voice” in Paragraph 3 could probably be replaced by“________”.

A. sound B. power

C. saying D. speech

2According to the text, the Iroquois League ________.

A. consisted of six tribes in the 17th century

【題目】閱讀下面短文,根據(jù)所給情節(jié)進行續(xù)寫,使之構(gòu)成一個完整的故事。

My husband Andrew, a wise father, teaches our kids how to balance risk with freedom.

We have four chickens: Pecky, Buckbeak, Mayonnaise and Cornflake. My husband made their coop (籠子). It’s beautifully made.

Actually he made it with our sons and daughter. The kids and their father spent several weekends in the garage. He gave them tools because he believed it was important that they could actually make something. He slowly helped them and together, they made the coop. They also made the mistakes of learning-a board cut too short, nails smashed (打碎) by hammers — but in the end, Andrew did some tricks and the coop looked perfect.

The chickens loved their perfectly imperfect home and we also gave them free range in the yard. Andrew encouraged our kids to provide the chickens with quite a big area and explained that to take risks is part of life, and by giving chickens the freedom to wander around and dig for bugs, it is a better experience for them than the confines (限制) of the coop.

Yesterday, they ran around the lawn (草地). We needed to go downtown, knowing that chickens wouldn’t go very far. When we got back, my son, Gordon, ran to check on them. There were Mayonnaise, Cornflake and Buckbeak, looking a mess but still alive. Yet Pecky was nowhere to be seen.

With Andrew, we searched the yard and found some feathers by the trees. Then, we saw more feathers littering the yard. By this time. Gordon started to worry; Pecky was his favorite chicken and his eyes got watery.

Andrew picked Gordon up and held him. As we stood there, beginning to accept that we were now a three-chicken family, we heard it-a soft clucking (咯咯聲) sound under a bush.

注意:

1. 所續(xù)寫短文的詞數(shù)應(yīng)該為150左右;

2. 至少使用5個短文中標有下劃線的關(guān)鍵詞語;

3. 續(xù)寫部分分為兩段,每段的開頭語已為你寫好;

4. 續(xù)寫完成后,請用下劃線標出你所使用的關(guān)鍵詞語。

Paragraph 1:

Andrew put Gordon down and they looked under the bush.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 2:

The next day Andrew had a discussion with the kids about what to do with the chickens.

【題目】Comments on the July Issue of Reader’s Digest

Jennie Gardner, Bath

I couldn’t agree more with Lee Child, that books are really important. Yes, you can get lost in them but you can also find yourself and new worlds and possibilities in them. Books help us to forget and remember. They remind us both of what's really important and what’s not.

And, as Lee says, they let us hold the whole world in our hands, We can feel the weight of this word, we can mark our favourite spots, add in our own thoughts and see our progress through the pages as the story leads us back home, allowing us to re-find ourselves along the way.

Jayne Wile, North Wales

Brian Blessed’s I Remember was most enjoyable. I love Brian, a popular actor of stage and screen. It was interesting to learn more about his life. I noted how he enjoyed being involved in the Space Program, doing 600 hours training in Moscow and I have to agree with his thought”We need to get out to Mars because the Earth has got to rest.” Mars has always been a source of inspiration for explorers and scientists.

Melanie Lodge, West Yorkshire

I was thrilled to read author Lee Childs If I Ruled The World. I was most impressed that he wanted to make teachers the most respected and highest paid professionals.

I work as a teaching assistant in a primary school and have done so since my youngest daughter began school 12 years ago. Until then I had no idea just how much planning was involved in each lesson and how much patience was required in a class of 30 children! I also agree with Lee that there’s nothing more rewarding than finishing a good book.

1What is Jennie Gardner’s comment mainly about?

A.Books make us get lost.B.Books mean a lot in life.

C.Books help us progress.D.Books bring us possibilities.

2What do we know about Jayne Wile?

A.He once got trained in Moscow.

B.He joined in the Space Program.

C.He thinks it necessary to explore Mars.

D.He’s a popular actor of stage and screen.

3What can be inferred from Melanie Lodge’s comment?

A.She better knows how to teach.

B.She thinks teachers are overpaid.

C.She finds teaching more rewarding.

D.She used to work in a primary school.

4Which of them have a similar opinion according to the passage?

A.Brian Blessed and Lee Child.
