DSince.閱讀理解A(2012·河南省五所示范性高中質(zhì)量檢查)It is reported that one in three of us eats more meals by ourselves than we do with other people.But before you accept that somewhat depressing statistic，there is some good newsa lot of us are perfectly happy to eat alone because the computer and TV provide us with solitary entertainment.Perhaps unsurprisingly，half of the UKs singles eat a meal alone at least once a day.And even one in four mothers with families has dinner mostly by themselves according to a major report on eating trends and social change by the Future Foundation.However，eating alone doesnt seem to matter anymore if you can chat away on social networksin fact its now a both quick and entertaining affair.“Suppertainment” is the phrase created for the current major trend that reflects the number of people who eat in front of the computer，TV or game controller.Single men are the majority leading this trend，with 60 percent of them spending mealtimes entertaining themselves with something.However,40 percent of mothers and 30 percent of students also eat meals while being on the PC or laptop several times a week.Boyd Hilton，TV and reviews editor of Heat magazine says，“Setting yourself up in front of the TV to suppertain comes naturally，especially when youve been busy all day.If Im on my own I always tend to make a quick and easy meal and settle down to watch something entertaining or Ill get on the laptop and catch up with comedies like the new season of Curb Your Enthusiasm on More 4 or Outnumbered on BBC 1.”“I think its such a bonus that healthy and tasty convenience meals now mean you can relax about eating good food without having to worry about preparation time.”1Why dont many people eating alone feel lonely?AThey are too busy to feel lonely.BPeople are happy to eat alone.CThey eat with solitary entertainment.DThey have good news at mealtimes.2Which of the following best defines the term “suppertainment”？AThe trend of eating alone among single people.BEating alone accompanied by the computer，TV or game controller.CEntertaining oneself with advanced technology.DGet relaxed by watching comedies on TV or playing games on the computer.3What is the purpose of the author by quoting what Boyd Hilton said in the last paragraph?ATo emphasize the importance of healthy and tasty meals.BTo tell people to have good meals without doing preparing work.CTo prove that “suppertainment” is a good idea.DTo call peoples attention to eating meals in relaxing manners.B(2012·長春市畢業(yè)班第一次調(diào)研)Have you noticed how many nouns are being used as verbs？We all use them，often without noticing what were doing.I was arranging to meet someone for dinner last week，and I said “Ill_pencil_it_in_my_diary”，and my friend said “You must ink it in”，meaning that it was a firm arrangement!Many of these new verbs are linked to new technology.An obvious example is the word “fax”We all got used to sending and receiving faxes，and then soon started talking about faxing something and promising wed fax it immediately.Then along came emails，and we were soon all emailing each other madly.How did we do without it？I can hardly imagine life without my daily emails.Also，my computer and its software have produced another couple of new verbs.On my computer I can bookmark those pages from the World Wide Web that I think Ill want to look at again.And I can do the same thing on my PC，but there I dont bookmark；I favoritecoming from “favorite pages”，so the verb is derived from an adjective not a noun this time.Now my children bought me a mobile phone，known simply as a mobile and I have to learn yet more new verbs.I can message someone，that is，I can leave a message for them on their phone.Or I can text them，write a few words suggesting，when and where to meet，for example.How long will it be before I can mobile them，that is，phone them using my mobile？I havent heard that verb yet，but Im sure I will soon.Perhaps Ill start using it myself!4.“Ill pencil it in my diary” in the second paragraph probably means_.Ait was a firm arrangementBit was an uncertain arrangementCthe arrangement is written as a diaryDhe prefers a

to)”那兒的快節(jié)奏生活。答案：A3解析：根據(jù)Where theres a will theres a way可知，這里說你“不可能(unlikely)”長久沒有工作或者不成功。unlikely可以以人為主語，后接動(dòng)詞不定式。impossible通常用于it is impossible (for sb.) to do sth.結(jié)構(gòu)。答案：D4解析：句意為：經(jīng)過多年的努力，我弟弟最終獲得了頂級(jí)廚師的“名聲(reputation)”。fortune大筆錢財(cái)，巨款；advantage有利條件，優(yōu)點(diǎn)；legend傳奇。答案：A5解析：埃拉不能來上班是“由于(due to)”重感冒。up to多達(dá)；as for關(guān)于；except

cost可知，我們?cè)诓恢篱_支的情況下本不應(yīng)該同意這項(xiàng)計(jì)劃，故選oughtnt to。答案：C8解析：seem后跟動(dòng)詞時(shí)應(yīng)用動(dòng)詞不定式， 故排除A、B兩項(xiàng)；根據(jù)答語后句“讓我們?nèi)タ纯础笨芍?，有幾個(gè)人“好像正在跳舞”。故選C項(xiàng)。seem to be doing sth.好像正在做某事。答案：C9解析：考查形容詞辨析。句意為：面對(duì)警察，他盡可能想保持鎮(zhèn)靜，但是額頭上的汗水使他暴露無遺。silent沉默不語的；still一動(dòng)不動(dòng)的；calm(心情)平靜的；鎮(zhèn)靜的；quiet安靜的。答案：C10解析：考查名詞辨析。句意為：“湯姆上周在市中心買了一座新房子?！薄澳遣⒉黄婀帧Ｋ诓傻V業(yè)賺了錢。”fortune運(yùn)氣；命運(yùn)，財(cái)富；make

done。從前面的“我不確定她在哪里”可知，用may have done，表示過去可能已經(jīng)做了；must have done表示過去一定做了；can have done用在否定句和疑問句中；should have done表示過去本該做但實(shí)際卻沒做。答案：D14解析：考查die的相關(guān)短語與語態(tài)。句意為：每年，由于人類的破壞，地球上很多動(dòng)植物正在滅絕。die out滅絕；die

lot of us are perfectly happy to eat alone because the computer and TV provide us with solitary entertainment”，即人們?cè)讵?dú)自用餐時(shí)可以玩電腦或看電視，并不會(huì)覺得孤獨(dú)，故選C。答案：C2解析：詞義猜測(cè)題。文章第三段介紹了“suppertainment”的含義，即在獨(dú)自用餐的同時(shí)通過電視或電腦娛樂，故選B。答案：B3解析：推理判斷題。作者在文章第一段說獨(dú)自用餐漸成風(fēng)尚，字里行間透露出作者的贊成態(tài)度，最后一段借用Boyd Hilton的話進(jìn)一步說明邊獨(dú)自吃飯邊娛樂的優(yōu)點(diǎn)。答案：C語篇解讀：英語中有許多詞匯涉及詞性的活用，本文就介紹了人們?cè)谏钪薪?jīng)常將“名詞動(dòng)詞化”這一現(xiàn)象。4解析：句意猜測(cè)題。從文章中第二段的“.You must ink it in.a firm arrangement！”可知，“You must ink it in”表示“這是一個(gè)確定的安排”，故畫線部分表示“這是不確定的安排”，所以選B項(xiàng)。答案：B5解析：事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。由文章中第四段的“And I can do the same.I dont bookmark；I favorite.”可知選C項(xiàng)。答案：C6解析：事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。由文章最后一段的“How long will it be before I can mobile them.”可知mobile尚未被動(dòng)詞化，所以選D項(xiàng)。答案：D7解析：主旨大意題。第一段是本文的主題段，故A項(xiàng)“由名詞轉(zhuǎn)化而來的新動(dòng)詞”做標(biāo)題最合適。答案：A111
