2.exposed

3.deadly

4.nor

5.so

6.be controlled

7.a

8.result

9.immediately

10.to

【解析】

試題分析：

1.Who/that 本句是一個定語從句，先行詞是John Snow，定語從句中使用who/that指代先行詞做主語。

2.exposed 固定搭配be exposed to…接觸到…；本句中使用形容詞短語exposed to cholera修飾前面的名詞ordinary people指接觸到霍亂的人。

3.deadly 形容詞deadly致命的，修飾后面的名詞disease，指霍亂是一種致命的疾病。

4.nor 句意：霍亂的原因和治愈方法都沒有人知道。Neither…nor…既不…也不…；表示全部否定。

5.so 句意：霍亂的原因和治愈方法都沒有人知道，所以很多人都死于這種疾病。根據(jù)句意可知上下文是因果關(guān)系，所以使用so來連接上下文。

6. be controlled 句意：John Snow認識到直到霍亂的原因被查明這個疾病才可以被控制。因為control是一個短暫性動詞，所以使用not…until…的結(jié)構(gòu)。本句的否定使用的是never。

7.a 句意：他幫助收集信息，為此他制作了一幅地圖。動詞短語Make a map制作一幅地圖。

8.result 固定搭配as a result結(jié)果是；句意：結(jié)果，他找到了霍亂的原因，并建議水源要被立刻檢查。

9.immediately 句意：他找到了霍亂的原因，并建議水源要被立刻檢查。使用副詞immediately做狀語修飾謂語動詞。

10.to 句意：幸虧有他，“King Cholera”才被打敗了。固定搭配thanks to…幸虧…；這個短語含有很強的感情色彩。

Mr. Eckerd at the end of the street was a different fellow with a different kind of house. He let kids from the neighborhood come to see his house, but only if they had written permission from their parents, and if he’d already spoken to the parents before.

What made it so different? He shared his home with rescued animals that the county couldn’t keep. He had the permission to have things like monkeys, large cats, and other strange creatures. His house had the ivy(常春藤)-covered brick wall and the iron gate across the driveway. Once you went inside, the hedges(樹藤)lining the driveway were carved into the shapes of animals. There were other pretty plants on the grounds, too.

The old brick house held a lot of surprises. The double doors with the lion’s head door knockers opened into a large flat entryway. In the wooden board walls all around, there were fish tanks with colorful fishes. The ceilings were painted with scenes of plants and rare animals. Room opened off from there. Continuing down the hall, you came to a large courtyard, which had been caged in, partly open to the sky .A large group of tiny monkeys shook up and down trees. You had to walk through a caged tunnel into other parts of the house. They called out to whoever walked in, hoping for treats of fruits, nuts, and seeds. Behind that, the hall continued to a room full of snakes and lizards. It felt like a desert in that room, so dry and hot. It was not everyone’s favorite room, but it certainly was interesting. The final room was actually out back, and definitely not something to miss. It was much like a large glass bird cage or a greenhouse. It was there that you would usually find Mr Eckerd on a bench next to some carvings of jungle animals. He was watching the Bengal tiger that wandered back and forth inside the cage.

Mr. Eckerd’s house was the strangest and most unique place in town, a place very well worth seeing.

1.What was different about Mr. Eckerd’s house?

A. It was big and frightening.

B. It was full of flowers and gardens.

C. It had wild animals inside and outside.

D. It was an amusement park.

2.What kind of live animals was NOT at Mr. Eckerd’s house?

A. Fish B. Snakes and lizards.

C. Monkeys. D. Elephants.

3. What exhibit or animal room seemed to be the least popular for most people?

A. The tiger. B. The monkeys.

C. The birds. D. The snakes and lizards.

4.According to the story, ______seemed to be Mr. Eckerd’s favorite animal at his house.

A. The tiger. B. The monkeys.

When I was 12, all I wanted was a signet (圖章) ring. They were the "in" thing and it seemed every girl except me had one. On my 13th birthday, my Mum gave me a signet ring with my initials(姓名首字母) carved into it. I was in heaven.

What made it even more special was that it was about the only thing that wasn't being "replaced". We'd been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everything—so most of the " new" stuff (東西) we got was really just to replace what we'd lost. But not my ring. My ring was new.

Then, only one month later, I lost it. I took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning. I was sad and searched everywhere for it. But it seemed to have disappeared. Eventually, I gave up and stopped looking for it. And two years later, we sold the house and moved away.

Years passed, and a couple of moves later, I was visiting my parents' when Mum told me that she had something for me. It wasn't my birthday, nor was it Easter or Christmas or any other gift-giving occasion. Mum noticed my questioning look. " You'll recognize this one," she said, smiling.

Then she handed me a small ring box. I took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful signet ring inside. The family who had bought our house 13 years earlier had recently decided to do some redecorations, which included replacing the carpets. When they pulled the carpet up in my old bedroom, they found the ring. As it had my initials carved into it, they realized who owned the ring. They'd had it professionally cleaned up by a jeweler before sending it to my mother. And it still fits me.

1.The underlined word "in" in the first paragraph probably means "_____".

A. fashionable B. available

C. practical D. renewable

2.When she got the ring back, the writer was about _____.

A. 13 years old B. 15 years old

C. 26 years old D. 28 years old

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The writer's family moved several times.

B. The writer never stopped looking for her ring.

C. The writer's ring was cleaned up by the new house owner.

D. The writer lost her ring in the morning when she took it off.

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

A. My New Ring B. Lost and Found

C. Lost and Replaced D. An Expensive Ring

What will man be like in the future——in 5000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.

Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.

Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger.

On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.

But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.

Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.

1. The passage mainly tells us that____.

A. man’s life will be different in the future

B. future man will look quite different from us

C. man is growing taller and uglier as time passes

D. the functions of man’s organs(器官) will function as well as today

2. Which of the following serves as the evidence that man is changing?

A. Man’s hair is getting thinner and thinner.

B. Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had.

C. Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.

D. Man’s arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.

3. The change in man’s size of forehead is probably because__________

A. he makes use of only 20 % of the brain’s capacity.

B. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due（預(yù)定的） time.

C. his brain has grown larger over the past centuries.

D. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on.

4. Which of the following is true about a human being in the future?

A. He thinks and feels in different way.

B. He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.

C. He is hairless because hair is no longer useful.

D. His fingers grow weaker because he doesn’t use them.

5. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.

A. future life is always predictable（可預(yù)測的）

B. human beings hope for a change in the future life

C. human beings will become less attractive in the future

D. Less use of a bodily organ may lead to its degeneration（衰退）

The tradition of birthday parties started in Europe a long time ago. It was feared that evil(邪惡的) spirits were particularly attracted to people on their birthdays. To protect them from harm, friends and family members would come to stay with the birthday person and bring good thoughts and wishes. Giving gifts brought even more good cheer to keep away from the evil spirits. This is how birthday parties began.

Italy---Pulling ears. The child’s ears are pulled as many times as how old he / she is turning.

Japan---New clothes. The birthday child wears new clothes to mark the occasion.
