After breakfast Dad always announced: “Go ahead everyone.I'll take care of the dishes！” With that my mother disappeared into the folds of the Sunday paper. Off_came_the_suit_coat_he_had_worn_to_church_that_morning._Up_went_the_shirtsleeves._On_went_that_apron. For the next hour Dad did the dishes, singing songs like“Who Put the Chow in Mrs. Murphy's Chowder”？I suppose it was strange for a father to wear an aproneven one with race carsbut I never thought much of it until that Sunday when we walked home from church together.“Tommy”， he said，“There comes a time in every boy's life when he must take on responsibilities” “Responsibilities？” I asked. “Yes. It's time you took a greater role in the household. Starting today, I want you to do the dishes on Sunday morning so your mother and I can relax.” “The dishes？” “Anything wrong with taking over the dishes？”I started to say something about a man's job, but I knew immediately that my protests would fall on deaf ears.I didn't taste a bit of breakfast that morning. My father announced to my mother, “Let's go to read the paper, honey.Our oldest son has generously offered to fill the position.”So this was what my life had come to.People often say there is a special chemistry between a father and a son. He came back into the kitchen just as I was about to storm out. In his right hand was the old apron.“I want you to have this, Tommy. It'll keep your clothes from getting wet.” And before I could do anything, he had put that apron on me. “Thanks, Son. Your mother and I appreciate this.”With that he disappeared into the Sunday paper. I looked down at the apron.It had seen better days.I could see my dad reaching for the dishes. Soon I was singing about Mrs. Murphy's Chowder.16What is the main purpose of the underlined sentences in the first paragraph?ATo show the unwillingness of his father when doing dishes.BTo instruct the main steps of how his father does dishes.CTo emphasize his father's clumsy way of doing dishes.DTo stress the enjoyment and happiness of his father's doing dishes.17What does the underlined word “responsibilities” in the second paragraph refer to?ATaking care of the brothers.BMaking progress academically.CDoing all the dishes.DWashing the apron with race cars.18What did the author mean by saying “People often say there is a special chemistry between a father and a son” in the fourth paragraph?AMind acts upon mind.BLike father like son.CA child is better unborn than untaught.DObedience is the first duty of a boy.19How did the author feel at the end of the passage?AProud. BEnjoyable.CSurprised. DRegretful.BAll over the world, libraries have begun the Herculean task of making faithful digital copies of the books, images and recordings that preserve the intellectual effort of humankind. For armchair scholars, the work promises to bring such a wealth of information to the desktop that the present Internet may seem amateurish in retrospect. Librarians see three clear benefits to going digital. First, it helps them preserve rare and fragile objects without denying access to those who wish to study them. The British Library, for example, holds the only medieval manuscript of Beowulf in London. Only qualified scholars were allowed to see it until Kevin S. Kiernan of the University of Kentucky scanned the manuscript with three different light sources(revealing detail not normally apparent to the naked eye) and put the images up on the Internet for anyone to peruse(細讀). Tokyo's National Diet Library is similarly creating highly detailed digital photographs of 1，236 woodblock prints, scrolls and other materials it considers national treasures so that researchers can scrutinize them without handling the originals.A second benefit is convenience. Once books are converted to digital form, patrons can retrieve them in seconds rather than minutes. Several people can simultaneously read the same book or view the same picture. Clerks are spared the chore of reshelving. And libraries could conceivably use the Internet to land their virtual collections to those who are unable to visit in person.The third advantage of electronic copies is that they occupy millimeters of space on a magnetic disk rather than meters on a shelf. Expanding library buildings is increasingly costly. The University of California at Berkeley recently spent $46 million on an underground addition to house 1.5 million booksan average cost of $30 per volume. The price of disk storage, in contrast, has fallen to about $2 per 300­page publication and continues to drop.20The best title for this passage would be “_”AThree Benefits of LibrariesBLibraries Going DigitalCSpace­saving E­learningDSecurity of Electronic Reading21Which paragraph(s) in the text offer(s) further explanation of the central idea?AParagraphs 2, 3 and 4 BParagraphs 3 and 4CParagraphs 2 and 4 DParagraph 422Which one of the following is mentioned as an advantage of e­libraries?AOld manuscripts can be moved more easily.BMaterials can be examined without being touched.CFewer staff will be required in libraries.DLibraries will be able to move underground.23What does the word “scrutinize” probably mean?AKeep for a while.

DExamine carefully.參考答案課時作業(yè)(四).1.C考查冠詞的用法。第一空特指2012年倫敦奧運會；第二空考查抽象名詞具體化，此處指“一個震驚的消息”。2D考查情態(tài)動詞。could have done表示“本來可能而實際未”。根據(jù)句意應選D。3C考查非謂語動詞。句意：地震之后，那個可憐的女孩被發(fā)現(xiàn)埋在一個教堂的廢墟下。4A考查連詞。句意：杰克什么都沒說，但是老師對他微笑著，好像他做了件很明智的事情。as if意為“好像，似乎”，根據(jù)語境可知，A項正確。5B考查動詞不定式的用法。動詞seem接動詞不定式構成seem to結構，故首先排除A、D兩項。再結合語境可知，此處描寫的是我們目前的狀況，故用動詞不定式的進行式表示目前正在發(fā)生的事情或所處的狀態(tài)。即B項正確。6C考查動詞辨析。根據(jù)前一句中的內容可知父母想給孩子提供“庇護”，讓他們避免各種危險，無論是真實的還是想象的。A項表示“認出；發(fā)現(xiàn)”；B項表示“開除；解散”；D項表示“區(qū)分”，都不符合語意。7B考查“remain v.­ed”的用法。由語境可知，工人是被困的，所以用trapped。8C考查動詞辨析。ruin破壞， 毀滅。句意：根據(jù)最近的一項調查，壓力過大和長時間的工作正在破壞許多人的健康。hurt傷害(感情)；injure傷害，損害(感情)，損害(名譽)；desert放棄，拋棄。9B考查動詞的時態(tài)和語態(tài)。截止到被發(fā)現(xiàn)已經被埋藏了千年，故用過去完成時態(tài)，且使用被動語態(tài)。10B考查習慣用法。judging by “通過判斷”，在句中通常作狀語。11D考查動詞短語辨析。give out分發(fā)，符合句意。 give off散發(fā)，放出； give in屈服；give up放棄。12A考查介詞短語辨析。句意：王女士給這個無家可歸的人提供食物和水，而不是把他看作社會的羞恥。 instead of “代替，而不是”，其后接名詞、動名詞等； as a result of 由于； in the event of 在關頭； regardless of 不顧，不管。13C考查主謂一致。a large number of作主語，謂語動詞用復數(shù)，由Nowadays可知，時態(tài)為一般現(xiàn)在時。14B考查非謂語動詞。to be improved 用作補語，表示尚未發(fā)生的動作。our speaking and writing skills leave much to be improved 意為“我們的說和寫的能力有待于極大提高”。15C考查交際用語。根據(jù)答語中的反意疑問部分可知前半句是否定句，由此可排除前兩項。C項的意思是“問一下沒關系”，符合語境。.A一條黑色的圍裙，一對心照不宣的父子，維系著一個無比溫馨的家庭。16D推理判斷題。下一句提到作者的父親一邊唱歌一邊洗刷餐具，再結合本段中他所說的話可推測這三個倒裝句是為了強調作者的父親非常享受這個過程，樂在其中。17C詞義猜測題。根據(jù)下文中的“Starting today，I want you to do the dishes”可知畫線詞指的是“洗刷所有的餐具”。18A推理判斷題。下一句提到正當作者要沖出來時，作者的父親拿著那件舊圍裙來到了廚房，由此可推出兩人“心有靈犀一點通”。后三項分別表示“有其父必有其子”、“養(yǎng)不教，父之過”、“男孩以服從命令為天職”，都不符合語境。19B推理判斷題。最后一段最后提到作者也效仿父親的做法，邊唱那首歌曲邊洗刷餐具，由此可推斷作者感到非?！坝淇臁薄本文敘述的是圖書館數(shù)字化了之后對讀者和管理員的好處。20B推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段可知，圖書館將會建立網上圖書館，這就意味著圖書館的數(shù)字化。21A推理判斷題。文章第二、三、四段分別就三個優(yōu)點進行了深層次的剖析。因此選A。22C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段可知管理員無需親自把書放入書架了，這樣就省了大量的員工，因此選C。23D詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞所在的句子：有了網上瀏覽，讀者不需花大量的時間仔細地尋找自己需要的書了。
