【解析】

試題分析:本文講述了作者在美國(guó)留學(xué)期間與美國(guó)家庭相處的兩個(gè)月時(shí)光。主要講述了中美習(xí)俗差異。一個(gè)是飲食習(xí)慣上的差異,在中國(guó)最重視的魚頭在美國(guó)人看來卻很抵觸放在餐桌上。一個(gè)是待客習(xí)慣上,中國(guó)人對(duì)客人十分客氣,美國(guó)人則給客人更多的自主選擇權(quán)。不會(huì)主動(dòng)向客人接待什么。

1.考察形容詞辨析. And并列的兩個(gè)形容詞應(yīng)該意思相近的。由前面的pride可得知空白處的形容詞應(yīng)該是褒義的。Worry“擔(dān)心的”、attention是名詞“注意、照料”、delight是名詞“高興、快樂”只有pleasure是形容詞并且有“開心的”的意思。故選D。

2.考察動(dòng)詞辨析 。由后一句話作者談到“盡管自己的廚藝很爛“可得知作者給她的美國(guó)家庭做中國(guó)菜。Buy“買”的意思,不符合題意。Fetch“到達(dá)、取得、吸引”的意思。Leave“離開”。Cook“烹飪”。故選C

3.】考察形容詞辨析。后一句說改變菜的顏色、肉的種類或者湯的風(fēng)味等都是一種與以往不一樣的新的做法。故選B。

4.考察名詞辨析. Way“方法,手段”,joy“樂趣”,trouble“麻煩”,importance“重要性”之前說中國(guó)食物是最棒的食物,那么,我改變花樣的做中國(guó)食物肯定是想讓我的美國(guó)朋友發(fā)現(xiàn)吃中國(guó)食品的樂趣。其他三個(gè)搭配都不當(dāng)。故選B。

5.考察形容詞辨析.后文談到作者受到獎(jiǎng)勵(lì),故變換花樣給美國(guó)朋友展示中國(guó)菜,這是一個(gè)不錯(cuò)的工作。Hard“艱難的”,daily“日常的”日常的工作,一般不會(huì)受到獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)。New“新的”雖然作者嘗試做菜是一種新的嘗試,可是不會(huì)因?yàn)樾碌膰L試就受到獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)。只有做得很好才會(huì)受到獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)。故選C,good。

6.考察動(dòng)詞辨析. “很好吃”、“非常棒”這些語(yǔ)句都是美國(guó)朋友表達(dá)他們感激的方式。故與appreciation搭配的是表達(dá)“expression”。 flowers“花”,talk“說”,不與appreciation搭配。Smile“微笑”。故選A。

7.考察名詞辨析.第四段第一句話有說到,美國(guó)朋友看著桌上的魚。故空白處填B“fish,魚”。Meat“肉”,soup“湯”,egg“雞蛋”。

8.考察形容詞辨析.作者談到成就了,所以achievement前面應(yīng)該是一個(gè)褒義形容詞修飾。Praised動(dòng)詞“稱贊”。Pleased“高興的、滿意的”,good“好的”,surprised“驚訝的”,對(duì)于自己的成就不應(yīng)該是驚訝的。故選B,對(duì)自己的成就很開心、滿意。

9.考察副詞辨析。由第三段開頭的“但是,有趣的是……”可知美國(guó)朋友對(duì)魚的反應(yīng)跟作者肯定是不一樣的。Happily“開心地”,excitedly“激動(dòng)地”,surprisedly“驚訝地”,worriedly“擔(dān)心地”。驚訝地反應(yīng)才能和作者滿意的感覺形成反差。故選擇C.

10.10】考察名詞辨析. 第五段作者說魚頭是很美味的,可知美國(guó)朋友這里驚訝的是為什么魚頭留在菜盤里。故選D。bones“骨頭”,skins“皮膚”,tails“尾巴”。

11.11】考察助動(dòng)詞辨析.空白處這句話語(yǔ)句完整,缺的是一個(gè)無實(shí)意的助動(dòng)詞。Do起強(qiáng)調(diào)作用 。will“想”,“want to“想做…”should“應(yīng)該”。故選A。

12.12】考察名詞辨析. 前一句說到魚頭是最美味的,所以魚身最好的部分就是魚頭。故選B“head”

13.13】考察句意分析. 因?yàn)橹忻懒?xí)俗不同,美國(guó)人不喜歡把魚頭放在菜盤里面,但是中國(guó)人卻把魚頭看得很尊重。很顯然,不可能in USA 也不可能in the West人們敬重魚頭。Fact“事實(shí)”,沒有語(yǔ)境,放在這里顯得突兀。故選B

14.14】考查動(dòng)詞辨析。enjoying“享受”,looking at“看著”,playing with“與…玩!,cooking“烹飪”。最受敬重的客人肯定是享受魚頭,而不是看著、玩或者親自去做。故選A。

15.15】考察形容詞辨析.美國(guó)朋友買來水果后對(duì)作者說:“自己動(dòng)手選擇水果。”但是當(dāng)作者買回來水果后,他們也會(huì)“自己動(dòng)手選擇水果”。這與中國(guó)的“賓客為上”是不一樣的。Real“真正的”,exciting“激動(dòng)的”,easy“簡(jiǎn)單的”intresting“有趣的”這是一件有趣的事情,不是真的,激動(dòng)的,簡(jiǎn)單的。故選C。

16.16】考察句意分析. 聯(lián)系下文,作者在買回水果后也說了“help yourself”所以此處選C。please help us“幫幫我們”,excuse me“打擾一下”,eat them please“請(qǐng)吃”。

17.17】考察動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)辨析.brought home“帶回家”,wanted“想要”,were buying“正在買”,were eating“正在吃”。聯(lián)系語(yǔ)境,下文也說到作者買回水果時(shí)候也說過 “help yourself”。故選A。

18.18】考察介詞辨析。根據(jù)中國(guó)習(xí)俗,主人不遞上茶水,客人一般不會(huì)自己動(dòng)手。所以空白處應(yīng)該選C。“without”實(shí)際上不會(huì)真的自己動(dòng)手。actually是一個(gè)副詞。前面應(yīng)該用一個(gè)介詞修飾。

19.19】考察常用短語(yǔ)辨析。下文說到作者買回水果時(shí),美國(guó)朋友會(huì)主動(dòng)自己動(dòng)手。與上文形成對(duì)比,所以應(yīng)該是in return“相反”。At last“最后”,above all“首要的是”,after all“畢竟”

20.20】考察頻率副詞辨析。作者面對(duì)美國(guó)朋友的“help yourself”以微笑婉拒。而美國(guó)朋友對(duì)我買回來的水果會(huì)毫不猶豫吃光。Usual“經(jīng)!泵绹(guó)朋友不會(huì)猶豫吃掉家里的水果,所以u(píng)sual不符合,often“常!保琱ad“有,會(huì)”never“從不”。從不猶豫只能是never修飾。故選C。

NEW YORK— The band Atomic Tom has scored an Internet hit with its self-created video to the song Take Me Out. In the video, the band members ride a New York City subway while performing entirely on iPhones, with applications linked with mini-battery powered broadcasters for each instrument.

Singer Luck White says the production was a top-secret operation.

"We didn't tell anyone about this. It was completely top-secret from our family, from our friends, from management, from everybody. So the first time that people saw this video was last Friday when we put it on YouTube,"explained White.

It has been watched by more than 2 million on YouTube since debuting(首次露面) last week. "All I've wanted to do for the past few days is just stare at the YouTube page and keep refreshing it to see how far it will go, " said Espiritu, the lead guitarist of the band.

"The Internet changed everything,"Espiritu said. "It's kind of an exciting time because it forces everyone to adjust and be creative and find new ways to get your name out there."

The idea for the video came from Espiritu's 24-year-old brother Benjamin, who's hoping to go to film school. " I've seen a lot of these music applications, and they're kind of fascinating to me,"Benjamin Espiritu said. " I thought: 'What would happen if iPhones kind of took over the world? If there could actually be a band that played straight through with iPhones, what would that look like?'" So they shot(拍攝) the video —with iPhones also serving as video cameras. The band also tried Union Square but were stopped during playing because they didn't have a permit.

"The YouTube views are translating into album sales,"Espiritu said. "We've seen the jump." Their album has been in the top 10albums on iTunes.

Will their fans start cheering for iPhone-only performances? "We've gotten the most exposure(曝光)and teh most fans that we've ever gotten through this, so I wouldn't be surprised if fans are going to want to see that.: Espritu said.

1.Who first saw the ban's video to the song Take Me Out?

A. Their friends B. Their family

C. The people online D. Their management.

2.What did Espiritu mean by saying "The YouTube views are translating into album sales"?

A. The You Tube views make the album sales increase.

B. The band has changed the video on the YouTube into an album.

C. People need to pay for the video if they view it on the YouTube.

D. People who have viewed the video on the YouTube should buy an album.

3.What can we learn from the text?

A. It was Espiritu who came up with teh idea of the video.

B. Benjamin thought iPhones would take over the world.

C. The band also managed to shoot the video in the Union Square.

D. Espiritu thought it was possible fro their fans to prefer iPhone-only performances.

4.What would be the best title for this text?

A. Atomic Tom's iPhone Subway Performance

B. Take Me Out—Atomic Tom's New Song

C. A band's performance through YouTube

D. A Band's iPhone single Take Me Out Hits Big

Towards the end of Middle English, a sudden change in pronunciation started, with vowels (元音) being pronounced shorter and shorter. From the 16th century the British had contact (接觸) with many people from around the world. This meant that lots of new vocabulary entered the language. The invention of printing also meant that there was now a common language in print. Books became cheaper and more people learned to read. Spelling and grammar became fixed, and the dialect of London became the standard. In 1604 the first English dictionary came out.

Early Modern English and Late Modern English are mostly different in the number of words. Late Modern English has many more words, mainly because of the following two reasons: First, the Industrial Revolution (工業(yè)革命) led to the need for new words. Second, the British Empire covered one quarter of the earth’s surface, and the English language took in foreign words from many countries.

From around 1600, the English colonization (殖民地化) of North America led to American English. Some English pronunciations and words “froze” when they reached America. In some ways, American English is more like the English of Shakespeare than modern British English. Some expressions that are called “American English” are in fact from British expressions. They were kept in the colonies while lost for a time in Britain. Spanish also had an influence (影響) on American English. For example, words like canyon, ranch, stampede and vigilante are from Spanish. They entered English by the people of Spain who settled in the American West. French words and West African words also influenced American English.

Today, American English has a greater influence, because of the USA’s movies, television, popular music, trade and technology.

1.The main difference between Early and Late Modern English lies in _____.

A. vocabulary B. pronunciation

C. spelling D. grammar

2. What helped to increase the vocabulary of Late Modern English?

a. the invention of printing

b. the Industrial Revolution

c. the colonization

d. the contact with other countries

A. a, b, c B. a, c, d

C. a, b, d D. b, c, d

3.From the passage, we can learn the word “canyon” is from _____.

A. American dialect B. African dialect

C. Spanish D. French
