A healthy life一、閱讀理解。One of the main challenges facing many countries is how to maintain their identity in the face of globalization and the growing multi-language trend. One of the main reasons for economic failure in many African countries is the fact that, with a few important exceptions, mother-tongue education is not practiced in any of the independent African states. said Neville Alexander, Director of the Project for the Study of Alternative Education in South Africa at the University of Cape Town.In response to the spread of English and the increased multi-language trends arising from immigration, many countries have introduced language laws in the last decade. In some, the use of languages other than the national language is banned in public spaces such as advertising posters. One of the first such legal provisions(規(guī)定) was the 1994 Toubon law in France, and the idea has been copied in many countries since then. Such efforts to govern language use are often considered as futile by language experts, who are well aware of the difficulty in controlling fashions in speech and know from research that language switching among bilinguals is a natural process. It is especially difficult for native speakers of English to understand the desire to maintain the purity of a language by law. Since the time of Shakespeare, English has continually absorbed foreign words into its own language. English is one of the most mixed and rapidly changing languages in the world, but that has not been a barrier to acquiring superiority and power. Another reason for the failure of many native English speakers to understand the role of the state regulation is that it has never been the Anglo-Saxon way of doing things. English has never had a state-controlled authority for the language, similar, for example, to the Academic Francaise in France. The need to protect national languages is, for most western Europeans, a recent phenomenon- especially the need to ensure that English does not unnecessarily take over too many fields. Public munication, education and new ways of munication promoted by technology, may be key fields to defend.1.Neville Alexander believes that _.A. mother-tongue education is not practiced in all African countriesB. globalization has resulted in the economic failure of AfricaC. globalization has led to the rise of multi-language trendD. lack of mother-tongue education can lead to economic failure2.The underlined word futile (in paragraph 2) most probably means _.A. workable B. practical C. useless D. unnecessary3.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. English has taken over fields like public munication and education.B. Many aspects of national culture are threatened by the spread of English.C. Most language experts believe it is important to promote a national language.D. Europeans have long realized the need to protect a national language.4.The best title for the passage is _. A. Fighting against the rule of English B. Protecting local languages and identitiesC. Globalization and multi-language trend D. To maintain the purity of language by law【文章大意】現(xiàn)在世界全球化導致很多國家的獨特的文化收到了沖擊和影響，本文講述的正是這方面的話題。很多國家都采取了很多的措施來保護本國的文化。1.D 【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段One of the main reasons for economic failure in many African countries is the fact that, with a few important exceptions, mother-tongue education is not practiced in any of the independent African states. said Neville Alexander可知，他認為母語教育方面的缺失會導致經(jīng)濟方面的失敗。故D正確。2.C 【解析】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)本句Such efforts to govern language use are often dismissed as futile by language experts, who are well aware of the difficulty in controlling fashions in speech and know from research that language switching among bilinguals is a natural process.可知，很多語言專家都認為管理語言使用的努力是無用的，因為這樣的控制是沒有什么效果的。故C正確。4.B 【解析】主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章第一段One of the main challenges facing many countries is how to maintain their identity in the face of globalization and the growing multi-language trend.可知，現(xiàn)在世界全球化導致很多國家的獨特的文化受到了沖擊和影響，本文講述的正是這方面的話題。故B正確。二、語法填空。A survey showed a child, who has been protected and habitually given whatever he wants, will always put himself first. He will be ignorant _1_ his parents efforts. When he starts work, he _2_ (assume) that every person must listen to him, and when he bees a manager, he will never know the sufferings of his _3_ (employ) and will always blame others.For this kind of person, _4_ may be good academically and may be _5_ (success) for a while, eventually he will not feel the sense of achievement. If we are this kind of protective parents, are we really showing love or are we destroying our children instead? You can let your children live in _6_ big house, eat a good meal, learn the piano, watch a big screen TV. But when you are cutting grass, please let them experience _7_.After a meal, let them wash their plates and bowls together with their brothers and sisters. It is not _8_ you do not have money to hire a maid. You want them _9_ (understand), no matter how rich their parents are, one day their hair will grow gray.The most important things are that your children learn _10_ to appreciate the effort and experience the difficulty and learn how to work with others to get things done.1_ 2._ 3._ 4._ 5._ 6._ 7._ 8._ 9._ 10._ 篇章導讀：本文是一篇說明文。研究表明被溺愛的孩子往往會很自私，因此讓孩子適度體驗生活的艱難對他們會有好處。1of考查介詞。此處指他會忽視父母的努力。be ignorant of sth. “不知道，不了解”。2will assume考查動詞的時態(tài)。根據(jù)語境，此處指的是還未發(fā)生的動作，從句“When he starts work”用一般現(xiàn)在時，主句應用一般將來時。下文中的“when he bees a manager, he will never know the sufferings . ”亦是提示。3employees考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。他永遠也不會知道他下屬的痛苦?？涨暗摹癶is”表明，此處應用名詞，且此處用名詞復數(shù)形式表泛指。4who考查定語從句的引導詞。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，空處引導定語從句，修飾先行詞person，并在定語從句中作主語，故用who。5successful考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，空處在句中作表語，故用形容詞successful。6a考查冠詞。此處指讓你的孩子住在一個大房子里，表泛指，故用不定冠詞，結(jié)合空后的big可知，應填a。7it考查代詞。你割草時讓他們來體驗一下。此處用it指代割草這件事。8because考查連詞。這樣做并不是因為你沒錢雇女仆?？蘸蠼忉尩氖窃颍视胋ecause。注意：本句為省略的強調(diào)句，只能用because，不用since/as/for。9to understand考查非謂語動詞。want sb.to do sth.為固定用法，意為“想要某人做某事”。10how考查疑問詞。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，此處是“疑問詞不定式”結(jié)構(gòu)作賓語，且表示“如何”，故用how。三、完形填空。閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出可能填入空白處的最佳選項。I have written a poem called Flying Kites，in which a man _1_ his son to fly a kite.After a few minutes，the child _2_ drops the string and lets the kite soar(高飛)With joy in his eyes，he watches it climb until it disappears _3_.The father realizes that _4_ hell have to loosen the tie that binds(綁)him to his son.And he _5_ ，“Will I release the string as unselfishly as that？”Many years later my son，Gary，_6_ he wouldnt finish his college career.I tried to talk him out of it.But none of my reasoning made any _7_.At the end of the semester Gary moved back home.Gary managed to find a_8_ at a nursery and went at it with usual enthusiasm.I，_9_ ，was deeply disappointed.What was a college professors _10_ doing at a job that any high school dropout could perform？Then I tried to _11_ him.“Look，”I said，“in a few years youll be at your high school reunion with_12_ classmates who became doctors，lawyers，and engineers.Do you think youll be able to_13_ that？”“Yes，Dad，”he replied without _14_.Then he fixed his eyes on mine and said，“But the real question is：Can you？”Shame suddenly _15_ me.I wasnt thinking about my son；I was thinking about myself and what my friends would think.The problem wasnt Garys pride；it was mine.All at once I remembered my _16_ and the question it asks“Will I release the _17_ as unselfishly as that？”At that moment I knew I had to let go.Gary was _18_ enough to make his own choices.Today Gary has a successful career working for the city.I am very _19_ of who he has bee._20_ I let go of my pride，Ive been able to sit back and enjoy watching him soar.1A.orders BinstructsCadvises Dallows2A.suddenly BactuallyCproperly Dsadly3A.in a row Bin a wayCin no time Din the distance4A.abruptly BeventuallyCabsolutely Dapparently5A.responds BguessesCwonders Dhesitates6A.believed BexplainedCregretted Dannounced7A.progress BdecisionCeffort Ddifference8A.ball BjobCkite Dtoy9A.therefore BbesidesChowever Dotherwise10A.daughter BnephewCson Dcousin11A.support BacceptCcontrol Dpersuade12A.honest BordinaryClatter Dformer13A.prevent BforgetChandle Dadmit14A.hesitation BmitmentCpermission Dment15A.deserted BsilencedCignored Dangered16A.essay BarticleCpoem Dpassage17A.secret BstringCdog Dnews18A.old BhonestClucky Dcute19A.guilty BtiredCafraid Dproud20A.Since BWhenCAlthough DUnless【解題導語】本文主要講述了作者應對兒子大學輟學這一情況的故事?！竞诵脑~匯】release v釋放，放開semester n學期enthusiasm n熱情reunion n團聚1B根據(jù)語境可推知，一個男人在教兒子放風箏。instruct“教授”。故選B。2A根據(jù)下文可知，詩篇中的兒子突然(suddenly)把線松開，讓風箏高飛。3D與語境“disappears”呼應可推知，風箏消失在遠方(in the distance)。4B這個男人意識到最終(eventually)他必須對兒子放手。5C結(jié)合語境可推知，詩篇中的父親有疑問，想知道自己將來會不會無私地“松開線”。wonder“想知道”。6D根據(jù)語境可推知，作者的兒子宣布他將不會完成大學學業(yè)。7D根據(jù)下文的“At the end of the semester Gary moved back home”可知，作者的勸說毫無作用。make a difference意為“有作用”。8B根據(jù)下文的“What was a college professors _10_ doing at a job”可知，作者的兒子找到了一份工作。9C根據(jù)上文的“with usual enthusiasm”和下文的“was deeply disappointed”可知，上下文表示邏輯上的轉(zhuǎn)折關系。10C根據(jù)上下文可知，Gary和作者是父子關系。11D根據(jù)作者下文所說的話和上文的“reasoning”可知，作者想勸說兒子放棄那份工作，因為作者感到很失望。persuade“勸說”。12D根據(jù)“reunion”可知，此處是和以前的高中同學團聚。former “以前的”。13C根據(jù)語境可知，作者認為兒子的工作一個高中輟學者都可以做，而他的同學們則成了醫(yī)生、律師和工程師，作者問兒子能否應對這種情況。handle“應付，處理”。14A作者的兒子很堅定地回答，沒有絲毫猶豫，與語境“Yes，Dad，”呼應。15B根據(jù)上文可知，兒子的話讓作者沉默了。16C根據(jù)上文的“I have written a poem called Flying Kites”可知，作者想起了自己寫的那首詩。17B根據(jù)上文的“Will I release the string as unselfishly us that”可知，此處表示要放開風箏上的線。18A根據(jù)空后的“make his own choices”可推知，兒子已經(jīng)長大，可以自己做決定了。19D根據(jù)上文的“Today Gary has a successful career working for the city”可推知，父親看到兒子的成功，自然是為之自豪。20A根據(jù)語境可知，此處表示邏輯上的因果關系。since“因為，既然”。四、短文改錯。This morning I lost my MP3 player on my way to school. It was bought with the money I had been saved for months. Too upset was I that I could hardly concentrate in what the teacher was saying. After class, my head teacher called me out and asked if or not I had lost something. It turned out that my MP3 player slipped out of my pockets while I was walking. And fortunately, a young lady walked behind me noticed it. She found the school guard and gave them to him.How excited and how deep moved I was to get my MP3 player back! I want to be kind person like the lady.答案：This morning I lost my MP3 player on my way to school. It was bought with the money I had saved for months. upset was I that I could hardly concentrate what the teacher was saying. After class, my head teacher called me out and asked or not I had lost something. It turned out that my MP3 player slipped out of my while I was walking. fortunately, a young lady behind me noticed it. She found the school guard and gave to him.How excited and how moved I was to get my MP3 player back! I want to be kind person like the lady.難項分析：第一處：去掉been考查動詞的語態(tài)。此句中the money為先行詞，其后為省略了關系詞which/that的定語從句。從句中I和save之間是主動關系，所以此處不能用被動語態(tài)。第四處：ifwhether考查賓語從句。asked后的句子是賓語從句。賓語從句可用if/whether “是否”來引導，但whether可與or not連用，if則不可，故應將if改為whether。第十處：kind前加a考查冠詞。person為可數(shù)名詞，且此處表泛指，故其前應加不定冠詞，表示“一個善良的人”。五、七選五。
