described考查動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)和語(yǔ)態(tài)。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境中的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)“A century before the birth of Christ”可知，事情發(fā)生在過(guò)去，且tea和describe構(gòu)成邏輯上的動(dòng)賓關(guān)系，故用一般過(guò)去時(shí)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。3longer考查比較級(jí)。此處表示“讓人活得更長(zhǎng)”，故用longer。4preventing考查動(dòng)名詞。介詞后跟名詞、代詞或動(dòng)名詞作賓語(yǔ)，故用動(dòng)名詞preventing。5that考查定語(yǔ)從句。that引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句，在從句中作介詞of的賓語(yǔ)，修飾先行詞one point。6is考查主謂一致。句子主語(yǔ)為Tea，且與下文的“is drunk”在時(shí)態(tài)上呼應(yīng)，故此處用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)的第三人稱單數(shù)形式。7flowers考查名詞復(fù)數(shù)。flower是可數(shù)名詞，由前面的other可知，此處表示復(fù)數(shù)概念。8at考查介詞。固定搭配at a loss意為“困惑，不知所措”，故用介詞at。9held考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。hold和句子謂語(yǔ)之間沒(méi)有連詞，故用非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。句子主語(yǔ)The ceremony與hold構(gòu)成邏輯上的動(dòng)賓關(guān)系，故用過(guò)去分詞形式。10as考查連詞。由“as形容詞as”的結(jié)構(gòu)可知，此處應(yīng)用連詞as引導(dǎo)比較狀語(yǔ)從句。.閱讀理解I am a volunteer teacher in our local middle school.Recently,while working with my excellent student,I wrote him a note regarding an assignment he needed to work on.“Here,”I said,“keep this with you so you dont forget.”He took the piece of paper and stared at it for a moment before menting,“I cant read this.”I wasnt sure what he meant,so I examined the note.It was my best cursive(草書).Its true,then.The news about schools no longer teaching handwriting.But I believe it is necessary for students to learn cursive.First,there continues to be a need to sign “hard copies”of documents.There is a sense of ceremony and a seriousness of purpose about the act of signing something.It calls to mind the signers of the Declaration of Independence.Just look at those signatures!John Hancocks was so robust (遒勁的) and original that,more than 200 years later,it still serves as the logo (標(biāo)識(shí)) of a namesake (同名者) insurance pany.And why not?It is a work of art.Second,a great part of the history of the United States is recorded in handwritten documents,including personal letters.If one has not been taught to write in cursive,it is unlikely that one will be able to read it.Third,and perhaps most important,when one is trying to learn something,somewhere in the process there must be a slow step.Writing in longhand is a means of slowing down enough to be able to think deeply about what one is penning.In times of budgetary trial,schools often jettison music and art instruction but keep dangerous football.If cursive joins those victims from the curriculum,then it will be the loss of yet one more outlet (發(fā)泄途徑) through which students are able to say,“This is my mark.This is me.”I still remember in fifth grade,I once handed my finished work to Mrs.Shaw,my handwriting teacher.She looked at it,caught her breath,and said,“Oh,my.I think youre going to be a writer someday.”Thank you,Mrs.Shaw,for seeing so much in my handwriting.I needed that push.1.The authors student .A.knew few wordsB.didnt study hardC.had poor eyesightD.couldnt read cursive2.What do we know about John Hancocks signature?A.It is hard to recognize.B.It is really appreciated.C.It is used illegally by a pany.D.It was discovered in a personal letter.3.Which can best replace the underlined word “jettison”in Paragraph 7?A.Focus on.B.Get rid of.C.Depend on.D.Look down upon.4.To the author,Mrs.Shaws words were .A.quite interestingB.really confusingC.very encouragingD.pretty disappointingB閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。A record of 6.15 million trips was made by Chinese mainland tourists to overseas destinations

cursive.”可知,該學(xué)生不會(huì)讀草書。2.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第四段中的“John Hancocks was so robust and original.It is a work of art.”可知,約翰漢考克的簽名得到了高度評(píng)價(jià),200多年后仍被一家同名保險(xiǎn)公司用做標(biāo)識(shí)。3.B詞義猜測(cè)題。由上下文可知,受預(yù)算的影響,學(xué)校常放棄音樂(lè)和藝術(shù)課,卻保留危險(xiǎn)的足球課。如果草書成為另外一個(gè)課程犧牲品,那對(duì)學(xué)生會(huì)是一大損失。故畫線詞的意思應(yīng)該是“放棄”。4.C推理判斷題。由最后一段“Thank you,Mrs.Shaw,for seeing so much in my handwriting.I needed that push.”可推斷,老師表?yè)P(yáng)作者的話令作者很受鼓舞。.【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】本文是記敘文。一次停車的經(jīng)歷讓作者意識(shí)到多為他人著想能給自己帶來(lái)心靈上的平靜。1.B根據(jù)第二段中的 I was heading into one car space,the park in front 可知,市場(chǎng)有很多停車位,作者“選擇了(choose)”其中一個(gè)停車。2.A參照第3題解析。3.D根據(jù)下句中的“The girl was actually a teenager.”可知,一位行人因?yàn)樽髡卟铧c(diǎn)撞到了自己的“女兒(daughter)”而“指責(zé)(abuse)”作者。4.D根據(jù)本空前的a teenager及下句內(nèi)容可知,與小孩子相比,青少年已經(jīng)足夠“大(old)”了,她應(yīng)該有看到車子躲避的常識(shí)。5.C根據(jù)上文中的a parking space and reversed in可知,這里指作者“停好車(park)”后。6.A根據(jù)本句內(nèi)容可知,“當(dāng)(when)”那位女士指出作者的錯(cuò)誤時(shí),作者為自己辯護(hù)。7.B根據(jù)but的轉(zhuǎn)折語(yǔ)氣及作者為自己的辯護(hù)I had never.the park in front可知,那位女士認(rèn)為作者本來(lái)是向一個(gè)停車位開(kāi)去,但是又改變了“主意(mind)”,向另一個(gè)停車位開(kāi)去。8.C根據(jù)第一段內(nèi)容可知,作者一開(kāi)始就選好了停車位,所以從來(lái)沒(méi)有“打算(intend for)”停在前面的一個(gè)停車位上。9.C參照第10題解析。10.B既然雙方已經(jīng)解釋清楚了,所以作者“建議(suggest)”就把這件事當(dāng)成一個(gè)誤會(huì),而不是因?yàn)閷?duì)方生氣,自己就“不客氣(unkindness)”或者更生氣。11.A根據(jù)本句中的the angry woman was in the wrong可知,一對(duì)老夫婦目睹了事件的全過(guò)程,他們認(rèn)為是那位女士的錯(cuò),由此可推測(cè),他們認(rèn)為作者把這件事情處理得“很好(well)”。12.B得到了別人的支持,作者應(yīng)該感到“安慰(fort)”。13.C根據(jù)本空后兩句內(nèi)容可知,作者在市場(chǎng)里想起了這件“事(incident)”。14.D根據(jù)第二段內(nèi)容不難看出,作者并未與那位女士爭(zhēng)吵,全程都很“冷靜(calm)”。15.A參照第17題解析。16.D參照第17題解析。17.C根據(jù)本段開(kāi)頭的Car parks in summer及常識(shí)可知,夏天的停車場(chǎng)又“熱(heat)”又忙碌,絕不是什么“讓人快樂(lè)的(joyous)”的場(chǎng)所,人們很容易失去“耐心(patience)”。18.B本空前的consider other people和本空后的only thinking of ourselves是非此即彼的關(guān)系,故instead of(而不是)符合此處語(yǔ)境。19.A根據(jù)本空后的self-love可知,這次停車的經(jīng)歷讓作者得到了“平靜(peace)”和自愛(ài)。20.D通讀全文不難看出,在平靜、自愛(ài)與怒氣之間,作者“更喜歡(prefer)”前者。.短文改錯(cuò)Dear Ms.Li,Im very happy have you as our teacher.As the world
