A【文章大意】 本文是一篇記敘文,主要介紹了一位和藹的、樂于助人的并具有影響力的老師Donofrio以及由她發(fā)起的捐贈活動。1.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第一句“Donofrio collected clothes she did not wear for donations and brought the bag into her class to see if any of her students wanted anything she was going to give away.”可知,Donofrio把不穿的衣服帶進(jìn)教室是想看看她的學(xué)生是否需要,故選B。2.D推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段第一句“The students generous attitudes motivated Donofrios interest to start a programme for students to collect and distribute donations among one another.”可知,是學(xué)生積極的回應(yīng)促使捐贈活動得以開展。故選D。3.A推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段第一句和第三段最后一句可知,Donofrio的行為是和藹的、樂于助人的并具有影響力的,故選A。B【文章大意】 本文是一篇人物傳記,主要介紹了美國爵士樂歌手和詞曲作家Billie Holiday的生平。4.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“Her voiced style, strongly inspired by jazz instrumentalists, pioneered a new way of controlling tempo(節(jié)奏).”可知,Holiday唱歌的風(fēng)格引領(lǐng)了控制節(jié)奏的一種新風(fēng)尚,故選B。5.C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段第二、三句可知,歌曲Strange Fruit被禁止在電臺播放是因?yàn)樗婕肮駲?quán)利,故選C。6.D推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中的“Her voiced style, strongly inspired by jazz instrumentalists, pioneered”和倒數(shù)第三段最后一句可知,Holiday因?yàn)樗纳ひ艉脱莩L(fēng)格而著名,故選D。7.C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中的“Her voiced style, strongly inspired by jazz instrumentalists, pioneered a new way of controlling tempo (節(jié)奏).”可知,爵士樂樂器演奏者對她有影響;根據(jù)第三段第二句可知,John Hammond對她有影響;根據(jù)最后一段第一、二句可知,她成長中的苦難經(jīng)歷對她有影響。由此推知,C項(xiàng)正確。.【文章大意】 本文是一篇記敘文,主要講述了著名哲學(xué)家蘇格拉底的故事。1.for考查介詞。for the love of wisdom表示“蘇格拉底教學(xué)的動力是對知識的熱愛”,與語境not for money呼應(yīng)。2.what考查連接詞。what引導(dǎo)主語從句,在從句中作賓語,表示物的概念。3.dangerous考查形容詞。修飾名詞需要用形容詞,故用形容詞dangerous修飾名詞enemies,在句子中作定語。4.falsely考查副詞。副詞修飾動詞、副詞、形容詞或者整個句子,在句子中作狀語,故用副詞falsely修飾動詞accused。5.leading考查非謂語動詞。根據(jù)and提示可知,此處與teaching并列,故用動名詞leading作介詞of的賓語。6.arrested考查非謂語動詞。arrest和句子謂語had之間沒有連詞,故為非謂語,且arrest和其邏輯主語him構(gòu)成被動關(guān)系,故用過去分詞作賓語補(bǔ)足語。7.were allowed考查動詞時態(tài)和語態(tài)。allow和句子主語his friends and pupils是邏輯上的被動關(guān)系,通過語境“he was put to death”可知,事情發(fā)生在過去,故用一般過去時的被動語態(tài)形式。8.he考查代詞。根據(jù)was提示可知,此處缺少主語,且表示人,和上文中的him呼應(yīng),故用主格代詞he。9.tears考查名詞復(fù)數(shù)形式。in tears意為“流淚”,故用名詞復(fù)數(shù)tears。10.bravest考查形容詞最高級。與the呼應(yīng),此處用形容詞最高級形式,修飾名詞man,在句子中作定語。.March 5th is the day in honour of Lei Feng, who people are called on to help others. On the morning of that day whenthis year, our class met at the school gate and went to a Hope Primary School by the bus. Upon arriving there, they gave us a warmly welcome.

See their smiling faces, we both felt left Seeing all a sense of happiness. We arrived home and promised to go back whenever possible. How an unforgettable experience Whatit was!.One possible version:Dear Mr Smith, Im writing to ask you for advice, hoping that you will do me a favour.As you know, every year we hold an activity, appealing to new members to join a variety of student societies.
