Since you've been away, has this country changed for the betteror for the worse?If you've just arrived back in the UK after a fortnight's holiday, small changes have probably surprised youanything from a local greengrocer suddenly being replaced by a mobile­phone shop to someone in your street moving house.So how have things changed to people coming back to Britain after seven, ten or even 15 years living abroad? What changes in society can they see that the rest of us have hardly noticedor now take for granted? To find out, we asked some people who recently returned. Debi: When we left, Cheltenham, my home town, was a town of white, middle­class familiesall very conservative(保守的). The town is now home to many eastern Europeans and lots of Australians, who come here mainly to work in hotels and tourism. There are even several shops only for foreigners. Having been an immigrant(移民) myself, I admire people who go overseas to find a job. Maybe if I lived in an inner city where unemployment was high, I'd think differently, but I believe foreign settlers have improved this country because they're more open­minded and often work harder than the natives. Christine: As we flew home over Britain, both of us remarked how green everything looked. But the differences between the place we'd left behind and the one we returned to were brought sharply into focus as soon as we landed. To see policemen with guns in the airport for the first time was frighteningin Cyprus, they're very relaxedand I got pulled over by customs officers just for taking a woolen sweater with some metal­made buttons out of my case in the arrivals hall. Everyone seemed to be on guard. Even the airport car­hire firm wanted a credit card rather than cash because they said their vehicles had been used by bank robbers. But anyway, this is still a green, beautiful country. I just wish more people would appreciate what they've got.16After a short overseas holiday, people tend to _Anotice small changesBexpect small changesCwelcome small changesDexaggerate small changes17How does Debi look at the foreign settlers?ACautiously. BPositively.CSceptically. DCritically.18When arriving at the airport in Britain, Christine was shocked by _Athe relaxed policemen Bthe messy arrivals hallCthe tight security Dthe bank robbers19Which might be the best title for the passage?ALife in Britain. BBack in Britain.CBritain in Future. DBritain in Memory.BCan you imagine living in a house built by recycled waste?Texas home builder Dan Phillips transforms trash into artful treasures, creating beautiful floors with wood pieces, kitchen counters from ivory­colored bones and roofs out of license plates(牌照)The fantastic houses which spring from his imagination are made almost entirely of materials which would otherwise have ended up in a garbage area.“People have been doing this for hundreds of thousands of years; using whatever is available to build shelter，” Phillips said，“If you think about carefully what could be used, then building materials are everywhere.”The thirteen homes he has built so far would fit better in an art museum than the residential streets of Huntsville, a conservative town of about 35，000 people.Living in these houses is a bit like living in a roadside attraction.“Almost every day, somebody knocks on the door and says Is there any way that we could see？”said Edie Wells, an artist who rents a room in the Bone House.Her home features a stairway made of bones, floors covered in wine corks(軟木塞) and beer bottle caps.Wells said visitors are most impressed when they see a bathroom with its walls, floor and ceiling entirely covered with broken mirror pieces.In addition, each house is highly energy­efficient with plenty of insulation(隔熱材料), an on­demand solar hot water heater and a system that can collect and recycle rainwater to clean the toilet and wash clothes.Phillips founded Phoenix Commotion 12 years ago with the aim of creating a new model for sustainable housing.For as little as $10，000 it builds affordable homes for single parents, low­income families and artists.The company has used hundreds of tons of construction waste by recycling the materials into habitable buildings.Phillips tries to spread his recycled­house idea by speaking at events across the United States, and by using the Internet to reach out to like­minded individuals.Phillips said, “I'm not going to be saving the world anytime soon.But there needs to be at least some visibility for this model in this century.”20Which of the following is NOT the advantage of the homes built by Phillips?AEnvironmentally­friendly. BEnergy­efficient.CConvenient. DCheap.21What do we know about Dan Phillips?AHe is serious and hard­working.BHe is full of imagination and intelligence.CIt didn't take him long to build the houses.DHe didn't give speeches in the United States.22According to the passage, the houses are like artful treasures because they are _Amade of bones BmuseumsCadmired by people Dmade of various trash23Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?AHome Builder Dan PhillipsBGreen HomesCHome Builder Dan Phillips Turns Trash into Green HomesDA Home Builder' s Life.開放作文請根據(jù)下面提示，寫一篇短文。詞數(shù)不少于50。In your English class, you are asked to describe the following picture and explain to your classmates how you understand it._參考答案課時作業(yè)(三十).1.C考查“be about to do when”句型。此結(jié)構(gòu)的意思是“正要做某事，就在這時”，其中when相當(dāng)于and just then，不可以用while, as等替換。2C考查獨(dú)立主格結(jié)構(gòu)。“his hands fast tied”是一個由“名詞過去分詞”構(gòu)成的獨(dú)立結(jié)構(gòu)，這種結(jié)構(gòu)的名詞后還可以接介詞短語等，在句中通常作狀語。3C考查find后動詞的非謂語形式。himself與surround之間為被動關(guān)系，因此用過去分詞。4A考查動詞辨析。由語境可知，淘氣的兒子弄壞“我”最喜愛的唱片，所以應(yīng)該是發(fā)火，故選erupt，意思是“(因生氣)突然發(fā)出(尤指叫喊)”。explode爆炸，爆發(fā)；promote提升，促進(jìn)；ignore忽視，不理。5D考查形容詞辨析。由于(這里的人)來自世界各地，所以鄰里關(guān)系比其他任何一個地方都更多樣化。varied 意思是“多樣化的”。6B考查動詞詞義辨析。句意：在國內(nèi)，有一個關(guān)于他是否愿意重新團(tuán)結(jié)整個國家的先期測驗(yàn)，即他是否會任命民主黨人加盟他的新內(nèi)閣。entertain意為“招待，使愉快”；appoint意為“任命，指派，約定”；employ意為“使用，雇用”；attract意為“吸引，引起(注意、興趣等)”。根據(jù)句意可知B項(xiàng)正確。7D考查動詞辨析。句意：顯然，男人與女人之間、富人與窮人之間，他們的希望、目標(biāo)、恐懼和渴望有很大區(qū)別。vary 相當(dāng)于 be different。alter 指“微小的變化”，不影響本質(zhì)的改動；shift 指(位置、性質(zhì)、形式等的)改變，轉(zhuǎn)變；transfer 表示“將某物(人)由一處轉(zhuǎn)移至另一處”。8C考查名詞辨析。句意：刻苦努力不是取得巨大成功的唯一保證，但它是基本條件之一。guarantee “保證”；signal “信號，暗號”；supposition “推測，推斷”；sign “跡象，標(biāo)記，符號”。9A考查動詞短語辨析。burn down (建筑物)燒毀，火勢減弱；burn for渴望； burn up 燒得更旺，消耗；burn in 給留下不可磨滅的印象。此處應(yīng)是“把燒毀”的意思。10A考查固定短語。be anxious about意為“對感到擔(dān)憂”。11D考查非謂語動詞。分析句子成分可知，所填的詞在句中作目的狀語，所以用動詞不定式。12D考查非謂語動詞。句意：為了及時使項(xiàng)目完工，全體員工周末都在加班。不定式一般式作目的狀語，故選D項(xiàng)。A項(xiàng)為現(xiàn)在分詞表示主動，正在進(jìn)行； B項(xiàng)為現(xiàn)在分詞的完成式，表示此動作發(fā)生在主句動作前，已完成；C項(xiàng)為不定式完成式，表示此動作發(fā)生在主句動作前，已完成。13D考查現(xiàn)在分詞的用法。此處現(xiàn)在分詞短語作結(jié)果狀語，表示自然的結(jié)果。14A考查名詞辨析。句意：在期末考試之前，許多學(xué)生已經(jīng)表現(xiàn)出緊張的跡象sign意為“征兆，跡象，病癥”；mark意為“記號”；anxiety意為“憂慮，擔(dān)心”；remark意為“評論”，均不符合題意。15A考查非謂語動詞的用法。補(bǔ)全為：Many car owners are driven by the rising，也就是說，drive和其邏輯主語是被動關(guān)系，故用過去分詞作狀語，表示原因。句意：受日益高漲的油價的影響，很多車主用車的次數(shù)大大減少。.A此篇涉及人們對家鄉(xiāng)變化的關(guān)注，短期離家和長期離開家鄉(xiāng)的人們對家鄉(xiāng)變化的感悟是不一樣的。16A信息理解題。由第二段第一句“small changes have probably surprised you”可知答案。其他選項(xiàng)不能根據(jù)文章得出。17B推理判斷題。由第五段中“but I believe foreign settlers have improved this country because”可知B項(xiàng)正確。18C信息理解題。由倒數(shù)第二段第一句“policemen with guns in the airport”及倒數(shù)第二段最后一句“their vehicles had been used by bank robbers.”可知C為正確答案。19B主旨大意題。第一段即為全文的主旨段，從全文也可看出文章講的是離開家鄉(xiāng)一段時間再回來，人們便會感知家鄉(xiāng)的變化。B文章講述了Dan Phillips利用回收的垃圾作為建筑材料建房子。20C推理判斷題?；厥绽美鴳?yīng)該是環(huán)保的、便宜的。由第七段“In addition, each house is highly energy­efficient with plenty of insulation”可知B也是優(yōu)點(diǎn)。但是C并未提及。21B推理判斷題。由第三段的“The fantastic houses which spring from his imagination”可知Dan Phillips充滿想象力。由“Phillips founded Phoenix Commotion 12 years ago with the aim of creating a new model for sustainable housing.”可知他充滿智慧。22D推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章可知所有的建筑都是用各種各樣的回收垃圾做成的。這也正是這些建筑的特別之處。23C主旨大意題。通讀全文可知文章是關(guān)于Dan Phillips利用垃圾作為建筑材料建房子的，故選C。.One possible version：In the picture we can see two mena young man and an old man. The young man looks excited with the three big fish in his hand while the old man looks upset and angry carrying only a small fish with him. And the young man is running after the old man trying to explain something to him.I think the picture conveys a message that everyone has his or her advantages. The old man is rich in life experience, but it doesn't mean he can do everything best. The young one is lack of life experience, but full of energy and new ideas. He can do something better than the old. In my opinion, we should learn from each other no matter whether he (she)is old or young.
