【題目】閱讀下面短文，在空白處填入1個(gè)適當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~過括號內(nèi)單詞的正確形式。

British and American English are different 【1】 many ways. The first and most obvious way is in the vocabulary. There are 【2】 (hundred) of different words which are not used on the other side of the Atlantic. For example, Americans use automobiles, freeways, gas, cabs and subways 【3】 the British use cars, motorways, petrol, taxis and undergrounds. Besides, sometimes 【4】 same word used by Americans and the British has a slightly different meaning, which can be 【5】(confuse)．

There are a few 【6】(differ) in grammar, too. In addition, the two varieties differ in spelling and pronunciation. American spelling seems 【7】(simple): center, color and program instead of centre, colour and programme. Many factors 【8】 (influence) American pronunciation since the first settlers arrived four hundred years ago. But a Londoner doesn’t have much difficulty 【9】 (understand) a New Yorker.

The two varieties are moving closer. For more than a century, communications across the Atlantic have developed steadily, which has led to lots of American words and structures passing into British English. So, don’t worry. Users of English will all be able to understand each 【10】 — wherever they are.

【答案】

【1】in

【2】hundreds

【3】while

【4】the

【5】confusing

【6】differences

【7】simpler

【8】have influenced

【9】understanding

【10】other

【解析】

本文是一篇說明文，美國英語和英國英語的差別主要在詞匯發(fā)音和拼寫上，盡管這兩種英語有所差別，但人們?nèi)匀豢梢院苋菀拙拖嗷ダ斫狻?/span>

【1】考查固定短語。短語in many ways在很多方面，用很多方法。句意：英國英語和美國英語在很多方面都是不一樣的。故填in。

【2】考查固定短語。短語hundreds of成千上萬的；該短語hundreds of different words在句中做主語。句意：成千上萬的不同單詞在大西洋的另外一邊并沒有被使用。故填hundreds。

【3】考查連詞。連詞while然而。表示上下文的轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。句意：例如，美國人使用automobiles, freeways, gas, cabs和subways而英國人使用cars, motorways, petrol, taxis和 undergrounds.上下文之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，所以使用while連接上下文。

【4】考查定冠詞。定冠詞the通常表示特指，不定冠詞a/an通常表示泛指。本句中使用定冠詞the特指同樣的單詞。句意：而且有時(shí)候在美國和英國被使用的同樣的單詞有不一樣的意思。故填the。

【5】考查形容詞。形容詞confusing令人困惑的；這是現(xiàn)在分詞轉(zhuǎn)換的形容詞，通常修飾人或與人有關(guān)的事物。句意：而且有時(shí)候在美國和英國被使用的同樣的單詞有不一樣的意思，這讓人很困惑。

【6】考查名詞。名詞difference差異之處，區(qū)別；當(dāng)它指具體的區(qū)別點(diǎn)的時(shí)候是可數(shù)名詞。本句前面有a few修飾，可知把difference當(dāng)成可數(shù)名詞，應(yīng)該使用復(fù)數(shù)修飾。故填differences。

【7】考查比較級。本文中把美國英語和英國英語進(jìn)行本句，美國英語的拼寫更簡單。所以使用比較級形式simper與系動詞seem構(gòu)成系表結(jié)構(gòu)。故使用simper。

【8】考查時(shí)態(tài)。本句的時(shí)間狀語從句是since the first settlers arrived four hundred years ago表示從過去某個(gè)時(shí)間開始到現(xiàn)在為止已經(jīng)發(fā)生的動作，主句要使用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)。句意：自從400年前第一批定居者到達(dá)以后，很多因素影響了美式發(fā)音。故使用have influenced。

【9】考查動名詞。固定句式have some difficulty in doing sth做某事有困難。其中動名詞doing做介詞in的賓語。句意：但是倫敦人理解紐約人并不困難。故使用動名詞understanding。

【10】考查固定短語。短語each other相互；該短語在句中做動詞understand的賓語。句意：無論他們是誰，英語的使用者都將能夠相互理解。故使用other。

Last summer vacation, I worked as a volunteer in the Wolong China Giant Panda Garden in Sichuan, where I stay for two weeks. That I needed to do was to clean the pandas’ houses, feed the pandas or make food for them. One male panda I took care was named Jingjing. She was one of the most interested pandas in the Garden. Normally, the panda is a shy creature, not used to be in contact with other animals, particularly humans, but Jingjing seemed very differently. He often reached out one of his foot to greet me and smiled at me. Sometimes he tried to make me to laugh.

【題目】 A high school student has a science test on Monday but spends most of the weekend playing video games and does not start studying until late Sunday night. This kind of avoiding or delaying of work that needs to be done is called procrastination(拖沓). It has been said that up to 95% of people procrastinate at least sometimes, and about 20% of them do it too much. 【1】

The first factor is how pleasant or unpleasant people find a task. Research shows that people put off tasks they find unpleasant. Someone who loves bicycles might not delay fixing a tire, while someone who does not may put it off.

【2】 For example, those who have low expectations of success are more likely to delay starting a job. On the other hand, those who believe they can perform well take on challenging tasks rather than avoid them.

【3】 Studying hard in high school might not give high school students any immediate rewards; what they learn might not seem useful to the present. Sometimes. it is hard to see the benefit of making an effort when the reward is too far away. 【4】

Lastly, another factor is whether or not people can use self-control. Those who have less self-control can easily be drawn away from their work. Interestingly, age is said to be associated with self-control. 【5】

If procrastination is a problem for you, the first step to reducing it is identifying the reasons behind it. It is only by understanding the roots of your problem that you can choose the appropriate method for yourself.

A. Besides, there is a link between procrastination and how long people must wait before they see the reward for an effort.

B. Research shows that the older people become, the less likely they are to delay doing their work until the last minute.

C. In addition, the amount of confidence they have in their ability to do a task is also related to procrastination.

D. As it is common to most people, how to avoid procrastination has become a major concern.

E. What's more, it has been argued that too much confidence can also lead to procrastination.

F. Although researchers do not agree on all the reasons behind procrastination, there is general agreement about some factors that can explain it.

G. This can explain why many people do not start saving money for their old age when they are young.

【題目】 A new urban sport, parkour, is hitting the streets. It has evolved from obstacle course training into a fitness option for young people. In parkour, the outside world is the gym! 【1】 The goal of parkour is a direct route from one place to another. You meet an obstacle, you overcome it.

Mark Toorock, who teaches the techniques of parkour at his fitness gym, says that parkour is a method to train the body and mind using obstacles as the medium. He says that this new sport is demanding and takes years to master. 【2】

But Toorock, who used to be a martial arts expert, says that everyone can benefit from learning the basic skills involved in parkour like running, jumping and crawling (爬行). These are the things that humans used to have to do all the time. 【3】 The original idea of parkour was to return to running and jumping as basic elements in moving from one place to another.

Georges Hebert, a French navy officer, was so impressed by the effortless athleticism of African tribes that he devised a training method based on running, climbing, jumping, balancing and throwing. The word parkour comes from parcours de combatant, the French term for a military obstacle course. 【4】

Dr Kenneth Kao explains that the sport of parkour is not extreme — it is the environment which is extreme and dangerous. Being outside, jumping off railings and flipping over park benches can be quite frightening, so parkour courses in gyms concentrate on practicing all the individual moves to make everything easier. 【5】 However, that is not real parkour because it’s indoors with a fixed obstacle. The goal for everyone is to go outdoors.

A.Gyms provide thick floor matting (墊子) for rolling and rubberized boxes for jumping over.

B.The bridges, buildings and railings (欄桿) of each and every city are the equipment.

C.Every action in parkour is natural, so everyone must have the ability to move in this way.

D.Parkour was introduced into china in recent years and has gained popularity.

E.But today, due to modern transport, these basic skills are no longer used on a regular basis.

F.The French word for people who participate in the sport is traceurs or traceuses.

G.Beginners should realize that they won’t be jumping over buildings any time soon!

Our mothers accompanied us to school in the first day. Soon a teacher came and led us to a classroom. There we were put into four separate class. Some children begin to cry as the parents were not allowing into the classroom. I did not cry because I have been to a kindergarten before. Actual my mother went home soon after for she knew I would be all right. It was enjoyable time for me as I got to know my new classmates. The teacher was very busy for writing down our information so they had plenty of time to ourselves. In the meantime some children continued to sob although their parents looked in anxiously through the window.
