Dr.Petrels has his own TV show.The show is in Italian，English and French.The doctor starts the show with a song and then gives medical advice.He explains a medical problem or disease in simple language.After that，he sings another song.Dr.Petrels produces and performs in his own show every week.The program is very popular with his patients and with people who enjoy his singing.His dream is to perform (表演) in Las Vegas.His favorite songs are love songs，and he has a compact disk of love songs that he wrote.Dr.Petrels says，“I always loved to sing.All my problems are gone when I sing.” But when Dr.Petrels was young，his father didnt want him to be a singer，so he went to medical school.Some people tell Dr.Petrels he can help people more as a doctor.But Dr.Petrels says he helps people when he sings，too.“I like to make people smile.Sometimes its difficult to make a sick person smile.Medicine and entertainment (娱乐) both try to do the same thing.They try to make people feel good.”36Dr.Petrels works 60 hours a week，because he_.Agives his patients medical adviceBtakes care of 159 patients a weekCsings on televisionDhas his own TV show37In his TV show，Dr.Petrels _.Asings and gives medical adviceBsings about different diseasesCstarts to explain diseases with a songDsings love songs he wrote38Dr.Petrels show is popular _.Ain Las VegasBat medical schoolCwith people who like his singingDwith patients in Montreal39Dr.Petrels says he likes to_.Ahelp people singBmake people feel betterCdo the same thingDmake difficult people smileBWhat is language for？Some people seem to think its for practising grammar rules and learning lists of wordsthe longer the lists，the better.Thats wrong.Language is for the exchange(交流) of ideas and information.Its meaningless knowing all about a language if you cant use it freely.Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules，but they cant speak correctly or fluently.They are afraid of making mistakes.One shouldnt be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language.Native speakers make mistakes and break rules，too.Bernard Shaw once wrote，“Foreigners often speak English too correctly.” But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make.Theyre English mistakes in the English language.And if enough native speakers break a rule，it is no longer a rule.What used to be wrong becomes right.People not only make history，but they make language.But a person can only make its own language.He cant make another persons language.So Chinese students of English should pay attention to grammar，but they shouldnt overdo (做过头) it.They should put communication first.40Language is used to_.Aexpress oneselfBpractise grammar rulesCtalk with foreigners onlyDlearn lists of words活页裁切线41.If too many native speakers break a rule，_.Awhat they use will become rightBthey are against the lawCthey should say sorry to othersDthey will become heroes42When we speak a foreign language，we should_.Aspeak in the Chinese wayBspeak by the rulesCspeak to native speakersDnot be afraid of making mistakesCMr.Harris used to work in Dover，but then he changed his work，and he and his wife moved to another town.They did not have many friends there，but they soon met a lot of interesting people，and after a few weeks，they often went to dinner or to parties at other peoples houses.Then Mrs.Harris said to her husband，“Weve been to a lot of other peoples houses，and now we must invite them to our house，mustnt we？”“Yes，certainly，” answered her husband，“A big party will be the easiest thing，wont it? Then we can start to invite people to dinner in small numbers next month.”So Mrs.Harris said，“Yes，Ill invite all our friends here to a big party on 5th December.”“How many will that be？” Mr.Harris asked，“Dont invite too many.”Mrs.Harris was beginning to write the invitations when her husband saw that she was writing，“Party: 6：30 to 8：30 pm.”“That isnt very nice，is it？” he said.“Youre telling our guests that they must go at 8：30.” So Mrs.Harris just wrote “Party: 6：30 pm.”A lot of guests came，and they all had a good time，so they did not go home at 8：30.In fact they were still there at midnight when the door bell rang and a policeman arrived.He said，“You must stop making a noise，because someone has complained(抱怨)”Mr.Harris said he did not want to quarrel with the policeman，so everyone went home.They were sorry to have to go.When Mr.and Mrs.Harris were alone again，she said to him，“That was a surprise，wasnt it? Who complained about the noise？”“I did，” Mr.Harris answered in a tired voice.43Why did Mr.Harris and his wife move to another town?AThey wanted to make some new friends.BMr.Harris changed his work.CThey wanted to meet a lot of interesting people.DThey enjoyed going to parties and visiting other peoples houses.44How long would Mrs.Harris like the party to last?AFrom the morning till night.BAbout fourteen hours.CAbout two hours.DTill midnight.45When did the party end that evening?AAt about 8：30.BWhen the policeman talked with Mr.Harris on the phone.CAbout twelve oclock.DWhen someone telephoned the police station.46Why did Mr.Harris telephoned the policeman about the noise?ABecause someone rang his door bell many times at midnight.BHe did not want his friends to stay late that night.CHis friends had a good time that night and also feel tired.DBecause he hated the noiseDWhen it comes to learning a foreign language，many people wonder if they will be able to memorize enough vocabulary.But this question never happens about their mother tongue，and yet，it was a foreign language once.However，among all the questions that new parents ask，no doctor has ever heard : “Will my baby be able to learn my language？” Be honest，do you know all the words of your mother tongue? The answer is：“No”New words，and new ways of using old words，appear every day.Twenty years ago，who would have been able to understand a sentence like this: “Click here to download your digital book”？ Nobody.You never stop learning new vocabulary and you never know how long you will need it.Sometimes，you_have_the_word_on_the_tip_of_your_tongue.and_it_sticks_there！But you do know this phenomenon(现象)and dont think that it is because of a bad memory.You should not give this phenomenon more importance in the language you are learning than in your mother tongue.You need to learn only 2,000 or so basic words to be able to create any phrase you need.You cant avoid some work in order to learn these necessary words and all the more if you want to learn quickly.And before you consider buying into any method，be sure it is right for you.It is not wise to depend on any method based upon mnemonics(记忆术)The first words seem very easy to learn，so you buy the course，but then you discover quickly，though too late，that a dozen words later，it is all the more difficult to learn a new word.47From the first paragraph，we can infer that_.Athere is no need to know all the words of a foreign languageBit is honest to answer “no” to a question you dont knowCa baby can know all the new words of its mother tongueDpeople find it hard to memorize vocabulary of their language48To learn a foreign language，the author advises you_.Ato remember new words appearing every dayBto keep up with new ways of using old wordsCto learn at least 2,000 necessary wordsDto pay more attention to your bad memory49The authors attitude to mnemonices is_.Asupportive BneutralCopponent Dindifferent50The passage is mainly about_.Ausing old words in a new wayBlearning new words from the contextCfinding a method to memorize vocabularyDlearning vocabulary of a foreign language.阅读填句(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)(2013沈阳育才学校高一周练)Weight loss is a hard topic.

How a lovely scene!.书面表达(满分25分)随着中国国际地位的提高，世界各地掀起了学汉语的热潮，美国也不例外。假定你叫李华，你的美国网友Mike通过email告诉你他在学汉语方面的困难：口语不怎么好，听力差，写作能力最差。请你回一封Email，给他提出一些行之有效的建议。口语：每天说，每天背一定量的常用语；写作：多读简易读物并做笔记，每天写一点，比如写日记等。注意：1.词数100左右；2不要逐字译成英文，为使行文流畅可适当增加细节。3Email的开头和结尾已为你写好(不计入总词数)。Dear Mike，How nice to hear from you！In your letter you talked about your difficulties with your Chinese learning._综合检测(二)1Cthe former.，the latter.前者，后者，为固定搭配。late迟到的，晚的；later稍后；lately最近，近来。2Abase.on指“以为基础”。根据句子可知，此处不需要谓语动词，排除B项。被修饰词map与base之间为被动关系，故选A项。3B此句为短语make full use of的被动形式，故of后面接不定式，作目的状语。4Cthe same.as.“跟一样”，表示同类的事物，as为关系代词，引导定语从句。5Dcommand sb.to do sth.“命令某人做某事”。6Cexactly“准确地”；gradually“逐渐地”；actually“实际上”；entirely“全部地”。句意：本杰明工作时看起来并不忙，但实际上他做事效率很高。7C句意：众所周知，许多汉语词汇已经渗入到英语里了，比如台风、豆腐和功夫。for example常作为插入语，前后都用逗号；such as后直接跟列举的例子；that is“也就是说；即”；so as to“为了”。8Cnative“本地的”，be native to.“原产于”，符合语境。9Crequest sb.not to do sth.“要求某人不要做某事”，此句中用其被动语态，指“按要求”。10C后半句句意：长城被公认为世界八大奇观之一。be recognized as.“被公认为”。forecast“预测”；realize“意识到”；suppose“认为”，可构成be supposed to be/to do.短语。11D答语句意：朱丽叶？恐怕我们公司没有叫朱丽叶的女孩子。no such girl“没有这样的女孩”。注意：no相当于not a/any，因此不能再与a或any连用。12Aactually“事实上；实际上”；especially“尤其；特别”；hopefully“有希望地；充满希望地”；exactly“确切地”。只有A项符合句意。13D句意：因为海外有生意，他经常在海上旅行。voyage可以指海上旅行，故选D。14Bvocabulary“词汇”，为可数名词；play a part in“在起作用”。15A考查状语从句连接词。句意：看那些云彩！别担心。即使天下雨，我们仍然要玩痛快。even if即便；as though似乎；in case以防；if only要是多好。16Cin a/one sense是固定搭配，意为“从某种意义上说”。17C句意：没有两个人说话的方式完全相同。18Din exactly the same way意为“以完全相同的方式”。in the form of意为“以的形式”，form前面不可有修饰语。19Athem指代前面提到的two speakers，between用于两者之间。20C根据下文中的a good variety可知答案。21A根据第27空后的the pronunciation of this area可知答案。22Dmodel模式；direction方向；symbol象征；guide向导。根据下文中的take _31_your model可知答案。23D根据前面的question可知应选answered。24B根据文章的意思，此处表示条件关系，故用if。25Blike用作介词，意为“像，如同”。26Btradition传统；custom习俗，习惯；use用处；habit习惯，习性。根据第30空后的there is no traditional use of English可知答案。27Dtend to do sth.意为“有做某事的倾向”。28Bnonsense意为“无意义的事”。此处是说在有很多不同种发音的地区就没有必要使用标准的BBC英语。29Bor anything of the sort是对BBC英语的补充说明。30Awhere引导定语从句，修饰先行词a country。31D根据文章最后一句可知答案。32Bnative意为“本国的，本土的”，符合语意。33D句意：你选择哪种方式都没有多大关系。34Aeffective意为“有效的”。句意：最有效的方法是将你最常听到的那种英语作为你的模仿对象。35Chear强调听的结果，意为“听到”；listen是不及物动词，强调听的动作，后面不能直接加宾语，可以用listen to，意为“收听”；sound作名词时表“声响，声音”，作动词时是一个半系动词，后面一般加形容词或从句，表示“听起来怎么样”。【语篇解读】这篇文章描绘在Montreal一个有趣的医生，他不但给病人治病，还在自己的节目中为病人唱歌，给他们带来欢笑。36B第1段告诉我们He takes care of 159 patients a week，如此多的病人，难怪He works 60 hours a week。37A根据第2段的“The doctor starts the show with a song and then gives medical advice.”我们便可知道Dr.Petrels在他的节目中干些什么。38C根据第3段的第2句“The program is very popular with his patients and with people who enjoy his singing.”可推知答案为C。Dr.Petrels受欢迎的不只在Las Vegas这些地方和patient这些人。39B最后一句“They try to make people feel good.”告诉了我们Dr.Petrels想干什么。40A细节理解题。根据文章第四句可知应选A项。express oneself“表达自己”。41A细节理解题。根据文章倒数第六、七句可知答案。42D推理判断题。通过文章我们知道语言的作用是什么，而且更明确在学习外语时，我们不仅要学语法，更重要的是学会使用这种语言来交流，当然就不能怕犯错误。【语篇解读】这是一篇关于Harris夫妇之间举行宴会所发生的有趣的故事。43B从文章的第1句我们得知Mr.Harris changed his work，所以他才移居到另一个小镇，也就是B答案。44C题目问的是Mrs.Harris预计宴会持续多长时间，而不是实际到几点结束。在Mrs.Harris刚开始写请柬时是写Party：6：30 to 8：30 pm.，大概两个小时，即答案C。45C宴会结束是midnight，也就是午夜12点，而当警察出现时，宴会还在进行，而我们从文章可以推断出宴会是在警察走后才结束的。46B根据全文我们可以推测出电话是Mr.Harris打的，而打电话的原因属选项B最符合原文。47A推理判断题。从第一段的“Be honest，do you know all the words of your mother tongue？The answer is：No”可知，一个人既然连自己的母语的词汇都不可能全认识，那么在学习外语时，也没有必要记住所有的词汇。48C细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“You need to learn only 2,000 or so basic words to be able to create any phrase you need.”可知C项为正确答案。49C推理判断题。由最后一段的“It is not wise to depend on any method based upon mnemonics.”可知，作者对记忆术是持否定态度的。50D主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了学习外语的问题，人们总是担心自己记忆的词汇不够，但是一个人即使对自己母语的词汇也并不能全认识，所以也就没有必要担心词汇量的问题，只要掌握一些基本的词汇就可以了，故D项符合主题。5155D E G C A第一句：basketbaskets第三句：去掉第一个the；whichwhere或其前加in第四句：surprisingsurprised第五句：muchmore；fewmany第六句：atover；runruning第七句：afraid前加was；than后加in【参考范文】Dear_Mike，How_nice_to_hear_from_you！In_your_letter_you_talked_about_your_difficulties_with_your_Chinese_learning.Well，my advice is that first you practice speaking Chinese every day for at least 15 minutes，and learn some everyday Chinese by heart.Then，it is a must to listen to some easy tapes，say，for 20 minutes every day，till you think its time for more difficult ones.As for writing，doing simple readings as much as you can and taking some possible notes will be of much help.Besides，writing something in Chinese every day，such as keeping diaries，will greatly improve your writing skills
