them.But when enjoying _1_ (they) with little ones, sharing pictures at birthday parties, or wearing new _2_ (cloth), parents should keep some moments private.Otherwise, you may put kids into embarrassment, or even _3_ (bad), make them a potential target for child traders._4_， children at certain stages hate their photos to be made public too.Now, parents _5_ post pictures of their children on social media could be accused by their sons or daughters under Frances privacy laws.Mothers and fathers are likely _6_ (face) a year in prison and a fine of 35,000, if they _7_ (find) guilty of posting details of their childrens private lives without their permission.And adults, who accuse that their parents damaged their right to privacy when they _8_ (be) children, could receive a large amount of money from their parents.In February, Eric Delcroix，_9_ expert on Internet law, posted a message on WeChat, reading：“Please stop _10_ (post) pictures of your kids on WeChat.”語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文，主要呼吁父母不要輕易將孩子的照片放到社交媒體上以保護其隱私。1themselvesenjoy oneself為固定搭配，意為“玩得高興”，故用反身代詞themselves。2clothesclothes是名詞，意為“衣服”，這里指“穿新衣服”，故用clothes。cloth意為“布料”。3worseeven用來修飾比較級，故用worse，意為“甚至更糟糕的是”。4Besides/Furthermore/Moreover根據(jù)對空格前后語境的理解可知，這里并列敘述了將孩子的照片放到社交媒體上的兩個缺點，所以這兩點之間應(yīng)用承接副詞Besides/Furthermore/Moreover，意為“此外”。注意首字母大寫。5who/thatparents后為定語從句，定語從句中缺少主語，且先行詞是parents，指人，故用關(guān)系代詞who/that引導(dǎo)從句。6to facebe likely to do sth.為固定搭配，意為“很可能做某事”，故用to face。7are foundfind與前面的主語they之間是被動關(guān)系，且全文時態(tài)主要是一般現(xiàn)在時，故用are found。8were根據(jù)前面的“And adults, who accuse that their parents damaged their right to privacy .”可知，此處指當他們是孩子的時候，是過去的事情，應(yīng)用一般過去時。故填were。9anan expert on Internet law為同位語，解釋說明了Eric Delcroix。同位語中常用不定冠詞，表示 “一”；因為expert的讀音是以元音音素開頭的，故用an。10postingstop doing sth.為固定搭配，意為“停止做某事”，符合語境。故填posting。(對應(yīng)學(xué)生用書P184)means n手段；方法by means of.用辦法；借助by this means 用這種方法by all means 務(wù)必，一定，當然可以by any means 無論如何，以一切可能的手段by no means 絕不，無論如何也不a means of

physically.懲罰絕對不是幫助學(xué)生身心成長的明智選擇。means用作“方式；方法”時單復(fù)數(shù)同形。若all/some/several/many means作主語，謂語動詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式；若every/each/one/a means作主語，謂語動詞用單數(shù)形式。Every possible means _has been tried_ (try)，but none worked.All possible means _have been tried_ (try)，but none worked.各種可能的辦法都嘗試了，但沒有一種奏效。majority n大多數(shù)；大半(1)the majority of 的大多數(shù)in a/the majority 占大多數(shù)have a majority over

a few decades.(1)majority為可數(shù)名詞，意為great number，指可數(shù)的概念，不指量(amount)。the majority作主語時，如果泛指多數(shù)(與少數(shù)相對)，謂語動詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式和單數(shù)形式皆可。(2)the majority of名詞，表示“多數(shù)，許多”，其后的謂語動詞取決于of之后的名詞。(3)majority常由great(但不是greater)修飾，表示“most of”。只有在談到兩個“大多數(shù)”(two majorities)時使用greater。occur vi.發(fā)生；存在；出現(xiàn)(1)occur to(主意或想法突然)浮現(xiàn)于腦中；被想起，被想到It

persons brain takes in and processes information”可知，大腦領(lǐng)會和加工信息的方式不同導(dǎo)致了學(xué)習障礙的形成；據(jù)此可以判斷，空處介紹學(xué)習障礙形成后的結(jié)果：一些人使用不同的方式學(xué)習。2E根據(jù)空前一句“Kids with learning problems are sometimes surprised to find out that one of their parents had similar troubles when he or she was in school”可知，有學(xué)習障礙的孩子會發(fā)現(xiàn)他們的父母中會有一位在上學(xué)時有學(xué)習障礙；結(jié)合下文中的“Learning experts now know a lot more about the brain and how learning works”可知，現(xiàn)在學(xué)習專家已經(jīng)對大腦和學(xué)習的工作原理知道得更多；據(jù)此可以判斷，空處與上文形成轉(zhuǎn)折，說明現(xiàn)在的孩子會比他們的父母更有優(yōu)勢，故E項符合語境。3B根據(jù)空后一句“Start with his teacher and his mom or dad”可知，孩子可以從老師和父母那里得知自己是否有學(xué)習障礙，據(jù)此可知，孩子不需要自己去弄明白自己是否有學(xué)習障礙，但他所需要做的是問一下老師和父母，故B項符合語境。4D根據(jù)空前一句“Finding out you have a learning disability can be upsetting”可知，發(fā)現(xiàn)自己有學(xué)習障礙是很難受的；據(jù)此可以推斷，空處應(yīng)該介紹發(fā)現(xiàn)自己有學(xué)習障礙后，你會感到自己和他人不一樣，故D項符合語境。5G根據(jù)空前一句“It may take a lot of efforts every

weekdays.In fact most of us obey this regulation，but some still play various against it.Im among those.Once，I in a waste phone.Mr.Li，our head teacher，seemed ignore all that.So I felt very to have an extra phone with me. good times dont last long.“Can I use your phone a while？I forgot to take mine by chance.”Mr.Li said， out my waste phone and dialing.You can see how I was at the scene!第一處：it改為them?？疾榇~。此處指代上文中的“smart phones”，故用them。第二處：刪除the。此處most是代詞，表示“大多數(shù)”，故其前不用定冠詞修飾。第三處：trick改為tricks。考查名詞復(fù)數(shù)。trick為可數(shù)名詞，且根據(jù)語境中的“various”可知，此處用名詞復(fù)數(shù)形式，即用tricks。第四處：hand改為handed?？疾閯釉~時態(tài)。根據(jù)語境中的“Once”可知，事情發(fā)生在過去，故用一般過去時，且下文中的“seemed”亦是提示。第五處：ignore前加to。考查固定搭配。seem to do sth.為固定短語，意為“好像要做某事”，符合語境，故用動詞不定式作賓語。第六處：luckily改為lucky?？疾樾稳菰~。lucky是形容詞，在此處作表語。第七處：And改為But/Yet?？疾檫B詞。根據(jù)語境可知，前后句表示邏輯上的轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，并非順承或遞進關(guān)系，故用連詞But/Yet。第八處：as改為for?？疾榻樵~。固定短語for a while意為“一會兒”，符合語境，故用介詞for。第九處：pick改為picking?？疾榉侵^語動詞。動詞pick和句子謂語said之間沒有連詞，故此處用非謂語，且pick與句子的主語Mr.Li構(gòu)成邏輯上的主謂關(guān)系，故用現(xiàn)在分詞作伴隨狀語。第十處：embarrassing改為embarrassed 。考查形容詞。embarrassed是過去分詞充當形容詞，在從句中作表語，修飾人，意為“尷尬的”。_That is why_ today over 40% of Californians speak Spanish as a first or second language.這就是今天有超過40%的加利福尼亞人把西班牙語作為第一或第二語言的原因。句中的why引導(dǎo)的是表語從句，注意以下句式的區(qū)別：(1)Thats why.這就是為什么(why從句表示結(jié)果)(2)Thats because.這是因為(because從句表示原因)(3)The reason why.is/was that.的原因是(表語從句常用that引導(dǎo)，而不用because)Tom was ill.That was _why_ he came late for the meeting.湯姆病了，那就是他開會遲到的原因。Tom came late for the meeting.That was _because_ he was ill.湯姆開會遲到了，那是因為他病了。The reason _why_ Tom came late for the meeting was _that_ he was ill.湯姆開會遲到的原因是他病了?！鹃喿x理解】It has always been thought that alcohol causes people to put on weight because it contains a lot of sugar, but new research suggests a glass a day cold form part of a diet. Looking at past studies they found that, while heavy drinkers do put on weight; those who drink in moderation can actually lose weight.A spokesman for the research team at Navarro University in Spain says, Light to moderate alcohol intake, especially of wine, may be more likely to protect against, rather than promote, weight gain. The International Scientific Forum on Alcohol research reviewed the findings and agreed with most of the conclusions, particularly that data do not clearly indicate if moderate drinking increases weight.Boston Universitys Dr. Harvey Finkel found that the biologic mechanisms(生物學(xué)機制) relating alcohol to changes in body weight are not properly understood. His team pointed out the strong protective effects of moderate drinking on the risk of getting conditions like diabetes(糖尿病), which relate to increasing obesity. Some studies suggest that even very obese people may be at lower risk of diabetes if they are moderate drinkers.The group says alcohol provides calories that are quickly absorbed into the body and are not stored in fat, and that this process could explain the differences in its effects from those of other foods. They agree that future research should be directed towards assessing the roles of different types of alcoholic drinks, taking into consideration drinking patterns and including the past tendency of participants to gain weight.For now there is little evidence that consuming small to moderate amounts of alcohol on a regular basis increases ones risk of being obese. Whats more, a study three years ago suggested that resveratrol, a pound present in grapes and red wine destroys fat cells.1.The passage is mainly for those_.A. who produce wineB. who have a drinking habitC. who go on a dietD. who are eager to lose weight2.The underlined phrase in moderation in the first paragraph means _.A. excitedlyB. carefullyC. frequentlyD. properly3.What can we learn from the passage?A.
