We know the Brits have a love affair with drinking tea, _1_ more than 160 million cups drunk every day, but it was the invention of afternoon tea _2_ turned tea drinking into _3_ popular hobby.This sociable feast involves drinking good quality tea _4_ (comfort) while eating nice sandwiches, a selection of small cakes and so on. And, of course, it can only happen in the afternoon! Afternoon tea, which originally _5_ (design) as a light snack to bridge the gap between lunch and dinner, dates back to the 1840s. It went on to become a _6_ (fashion) social occasion for the upper classes.Now there is a resurgence (復(fù)蘇) in its _7_ (popular) in the UK and it is available to anyone who can afford it. _8_ it can be enjoyed at home, the best way to experience it is at a smart hotel or café. But if you're thinking of visiting such a place _9_ (enjoy) a plate of delicious treats with a steaming hot brew, remember the rules you must follow to avoid _10_ (ask) to leave.Writer Henry James once noted that “there are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour devoted to the ceremony known as afternoon tea” . I'm sure once you try it, you will agree.1_ 2._ 3._ 4._ 5._ 6._ 7._ 8._ 9._ 10._ 篇章導(dǎo)讀：本文是一篇說明文。喝下午茶是最為典型的英式傳統(tǒng)。濃郁的茶香配上精致、美味的各色茶點讓品飲下午茶成為了一件很愜意的事情。本文介紹了下午茶的起源、歷史、發(fā)展、現(xiàn)狀及受歡迎程度。1with 考查介詞。此處為“with名詞過去分詞”的復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)用法，在句中作狀語。2that 考查強調(diào)句型。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，此處為強調(diào)句型，“the invention of afternoon tea”是被強調(diào)部分，故填that。3a 考查冠詞。a popular hobby “一個受歡迎的業(yè)余愛好”，此處用不定冠詞a表示泛指。4comfortably 考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。空處在句中修飾“喝茶”這一動作，充當(dāng)狀語成分，應(yīng)該用副詞。5was designed 考查動詞的時態(tài)和語態(tài)。該空在定語從句中充當(dāng)謂語，design與作主語的關(guān)系詞之間是被動關(guān)系，且由“originally”“dates back to the 1840s”可知應(yīng)用一般過去時的被動語態(tài)。6fashionable 考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。修飾其后的名詞短語social occasion，作定語，用形容詞。7popularity 考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。該空充當(dāng)介詞in的賓語，所以用名詞。8Although/While/Though 考查連詞。分析句意可知，句子中存在讓步的邏輯關(guān)系，所以應(yīng)用連詞Although，While或Though來引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句。9to enjoy 考查非謂語動詞。此處為動詞不定式在句中充當(dāng)目的狀語。10being asked 考查非謂語動詞。動詞avoid后需接動名詞作賓語，并且ask和you之間是邏輯上的動賓關(guān)系，故用動名詞的被動式being asked。*完形填空。One day，while we were visiting my parents on a farm in late summer，Dad mentioned he'd always wanted a Crimson King Maple Tree for the yard.Mom agreed that the trees were _1_.Like many other parents，mine were hard to _2_ for，so I figured this was a great opportunity to get them something they'd _3_.I also thought two would be even better.I checked the _4_ at work and decided it was a bit more than I could _5_but all of my siblings(兄弟姊妹)agreed to give some money to buy the trees.In northern Ohio，you don't plant maple trees at Christmas，so we decided to _6_ Mom and Dad with a special Christmas in October before the ground _7_.We asked my aunt if she'd help us with the “_8_”，and she called my parents _9_ to say she was coming for a Sunday visit.Then my sisters and sisters­in­law went into _10_，planning a big holiday turkey dinner.On the _11_ Sunday，we all met at my house and _12_ the trees into a truck.I _13_ as Santa Claus.When we arrived at my parents' house，Dad was _14_ something was wrong first.He and Mom were amazed when we told them _15_ we were there.When Christmas _16_，of course，we couldn't go to our parents' house empty­handed，so Mom and Dad got _17_ presents that year.Almost half a century later，I _18_ drive by the old farm and smile when I see those big，handsome _19_ and remember giving a special _20_ to special people at Christmas in October.1A.distinctiveBfragrantCexpensive Dpretty2A.shop BrepresentCanswer Dcare3A.deserve

handsome”，故此處應(yīng)是母親也欣然同意，認(rèn)為楓樹很漂亮(pretty)。distinctive“與眾不同的”；fragrant“芳香的”。2A根據(jù)上文的“Like many other parents, mine were hard to”，下文的“so I figured this was a great opportunity to get them something”以及接下來介紹的作者兄弟姊妹幾人為父母買禮物的內(nèi)容可知，此處指作者覺得給父母買東西是很難的，故選shop“購物”。3B根據(jù)上文的“Dad mentioned he'd always wanted a Crimson King Maple Tree for the yard.”及下文介紹的為父母買禮物的內(nèi)容可知，此處指作者認(rèn)為這是一個給父母買他們欣賞的東西的好機會。deserve“值得，應(yīng)得”；appreciate“感激，欣賞”；advertise“為做廣告”；imagine“想象”。4C根據(jù)下文的“but all of my siblings(兄弟姊妹)agreed to give some money to buy the trees”可知，作者在上班時查看了一下楓樹的價格(price)，認(rèn)為它的價格比自己能支付得起(afford)的還要高一點。express“快遞”。5A參見上題解析。6C從下文作者聯(lián)合其姑姑來幫忙實施這個計劃以及計劃具體實施的內(nèi)容可知，作者他們想給父母一個驚喜(surprise)。assist“幫助，協(xié)助”。7B根據(jù)上下文語境及句中的“In northern Ohio, you don't plant maple trees at Christmas”“a special Christmas in October before the ground”可知，作者他們決定在土地上凍之前讓父母度過一個特別的圣誕節(jié)。freeze“結(jié)冰”符合語境。soften“變軟，軟化”。8A根據(jù)上下文語境可知，作者詢問姑姑是否可以幫忙實施這個“騙局(trick)”。9A根據(jù)上下文語境可知，作者的姑姑提前(in advance)給作者的父母打電話說她會在周日來拜訪。in time“及時”；by accident“意外地”；on purpose“故意地”。10B根據(jù)下文的“planning a big holiday turkey dinner”可知，隨后，作者的姊妹和嫂子(或弟媳)行動起來。go into action“行動起來”符合語境。go into service“投入使用”；go into effect“生效”；go into production“投產(chǎn)”。11D根據(jù)語境可知，作者和親人們在選定的(chosen)那個周日聚到自己家里。regular“慣常的，有規(guī)律的”。12B根據(jù)下文的“the trees into a truck”可知，作者他們把樹裝上(loaded)卡車。transport“運輸，運送”；transplant“移植”。13A根據(jù)下文的“as Santa Claus”可知，作者把自己裝扮(dressed up)成圣誕老人。pass sb./sth.off as“把冒充為”；look on sb./sth.as“把當(dāng)做”；start out as“以開始，起初是”。14D根據(jù)上下文語境及句中的“something was wrong first”可知，作者的父親一開始堅信哪里出了問題。convinced“確信，堅信”符合語境。15C根據(jù)語境可知，當(dāng)我們告訴他們我們?yōu)槭裁?why)會在那里的時候，父母感到很吃驚。16A根據(jù)下文的內(nèi)容可知，當(dāng)又到圣誕節(jié)時，作者他們?nèi)ヌ酵改?。come around“再次出現(xiàn)，再度發(fā)生”；drop out“退出”；turn up“出現(xiàn)”；draw in“(白天變得)漸短”。17C根據(jù)上文的“In northern Ohio, you don't plant maple trees at Christmas so we decided to.with a special Christmas in October”可知，作者他們在十月份的時候已經(jīng)為父母送上了一份特別的圣誕節(jié)禮物，而在真正的圣誕節(jié)到來的時候，他們又不能空手去拜訪自己的父母，故作者的父母那年是收到了雙份的(double)圣誕節(jié)禮物。additional“額外的”。18D根據(jù)上下文語境可知，時隔幾乎半個世紀(jì)之后，當(dāng)作者看到那些高大、漂亮的楓樹(trees)時依然(still)會面帶微笑地駛過那個農(nóng)場。19B參見上題解析。20B作者看著那些楓樹時，會想起自己多年前在特別的圣誕節(jié)送給父母特別的禮物(gift)。上文中的“presents that year”亦是關(guān)鍵提示。donation“捐贈物”；greeting“問候”。*短文改錯。Nowadays more and more people would rather to look for a job on the Internet than in the newspapers or in the job market. There are many reasons for my preference, one of that is that a job hunter can find a job conveniently. He needn't bother to get recommendations from relative or friends, or registration at an employment exchange. Besides, a job hunter can get a job by simple browsing among the advertisements online and sending resumes by email. Finally, the success rate is very high. But even if one fails to find a job, it can spare him the embarrassment of refused.As for me, I believe that as the increasing popularity of the Internet, this new way would win favor among more and more jobless people and laid­off workers. It's due to its convenience, efficient and high success rate. 答案：Nowadays more and more people would rather look for a job on the Internet than in the newspapers or in the job market.

It's due to its convenience, and high success rate.難項分析：第一處：去掉rather后的to 考查固定用法。would rather do sth.為固定用法，意為“寧愿做某事”，故去掉to。第五處：simplesimply 考查副詞。應(yīng)用副詞修飾browsing這一動詞。第七處：refused前加being 考查非謂語動詞。此處作介詞of的賓語，應(yīng)用動名詞，又因為refuse與其邏輯主語one之間為被動關(guān)系，故用動名詞的被動式。* 我國經(jīng)濟發(fā)展進(jìn)入新常態(tài)，需要轉(zhuǎn)變經(jīng)濟發(fā)展方式，改變粗放式增長模式，不斷優(yōu)化經(jīng)濟結(jié)構(gòu)，實現(xiàn)經(jīng)濟健康可持續(xù)發(fā)展進(jìn)區(qū)域協(xié)調(diào)發(fā)展，推進(jìn)新型城鎮(zhèn)化，推動城鄉(xiāng)發(fā)展一體化因：我國經(jīng)濟發(fā)展還面臨區(qū)域發(fā)展不平衡、城鎮(zhèn)化水平不高、城鄉(xiāng)發(fā)展不平衡不協(xié)調(diào)等現(xiàn)實挑戰(zhàn)。
