The Olympic Games一、閱讀理解When I was in college, I spent a semester studying abroad at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland. In my brief time there, I came to love Scotland for its local culture, food and scenery.You might think：“Scotland isnt so different from the US.; they still speak English there！” But when I stepped off the plane, I was greeted by a gruffvoiced(聲音粗啞的) lady at customs. “Youll be ing from America, then？” She asked me, and I nodded. “But all of our guys are leaving Glasgow for the States！” Her thick Scottish English and sense of humor were obvious right away. I was not in the US. any more, where customs agents never joke around.As I settled in at the university, I could feel myself getting used to hearingand even speakingthe Scottish English of my customs agent. In classroom discussions, people would say “em” when they couldnt think of what to say instead of “um”， which was great fun. After the first few weeks, I stopped chuckling about this. Strathclyde students stayed up late into the night, running around campus and shouting, “Go! Lats go, lats go(curse word) Glasgow！” Pretty soon, I was no longer saying “thanks” at the supermarketinstead, I said “cheers”My Scottish friends drank whiskey and ate haggis(羊雜碎布丁). I drank plenty of whiskey but I was ashamed to admit that I wasnt brave enough to try haggis. Scottish bakeries usually sell bridies(肉餡餅). Add a cup of teathough I usually Americanized it by choosing coffee insteadand a bridie makes for a delicious breakfast.Every time I took a train anywhere in Scotland, Id gaze out at the rolling hills and wonder if grass was greener than anywhere else in the world. Then Id reflect that theres a reason this country was the birthplace of golf.【解題導(dǎo)語】本文介紹了“我”在蘇格蘭學(xué)習(xí)期間的體驗(yàn)：居民友好，食物獨(dú)特，景色優(yōu)美，蘇格蘭英語與美式英語有區(qū)別。1What did the author think of the lady at customs?AImpolite.BFriendly.CSerious.DCalm.B解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中的“Her thick Scottish English and sense of humor were obvious right away.

him.第一處：areis?？疾橹髦^一致。whose引導(dǎo)的定語從句的先行詞是代詞“one”，因此謂語動詞應(yīng)該用單數(shù)。第二處：becausethat?？疾槊~性從句。主語為名詞reason，表語從句中的連接詞要用that。第三處：smilesmiles?？疾閯釉~時(shí)態(tài)和主謂一致。由后文“which makes me”可知，主句應(yīng)用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)；主語為第三人稱單數(shù)，謂語動詞應(yīng)該用單數(shù)。第四處：makemaking?？疾榉侵^語動詞。make與前面的謂語動詞之間無連詞，故此處應(yīng)用現(xiàn)在分詞短語作結(jié)果狀語。第五處：honesthonesty?？疾槊~。形容詞不能作主語，應(yīng)該用名詞。第六處：lies后加to?？疾楣潭ㄓ梅?。lie to sb.意為“對某人說謊”。第七處：thea?？疾楣谠~。此處表示他是一個(gè)熱心并且有同情心的人，表示泛指，應(yīng)該用不定冠詞。第八處：刪除in?？疾榻樵~。句意：無論何時(shí)我有困難，他都愿意幫助我。have trouble意為“有困難”，in多余。第九處：excellentlyexcellent?？疾樾稳菰~。作is的表語應(yīng)該用形容詞。第十處：himme。考查代詞。Petou能幫助別人也能幫助我。
