You could turn your back for a moment in my mothers house, leave a halfwritten letter on the dining room table, a magazine open on the chair, and turn around to find that my mother had “put it back where it belonged”，as she explained.My wife, on one of her first visits to my mothers house, placed a packet of biscuits on an end table and went to the kitchen to fetch a drink. When she returned, she found the packet had been removed. Confused, she set down her drink and went back to the kitchen for more biscuits, only to return to find that her drink had disappeared. Up to then she had guessed that everyone in my family held onto their drinks, so as not to make water rings on the end tables. Now she knows better. These disappearances had a confusing effect on our family. We were all inclined to (有的倾向) forgetfulness, and it was common for one of us, upon returning from the bathroom, to find that every sign of his work in progress had disappeared suddenly. “Do you remember what I was doing？” was a question frequently asked, but rarely answered. Now my_sister_has_developed_a_secondhand_love_of_clean_windows,_and my brother does the cleaning in his house, perhaps to avoid having to be the one to lift his feet. I try not to think about it too much, but I have at this later time started to dust the furniture once a week.We have all become busy persons.31. Which of the following is TRUE about my mother?AShe enjoyed removing others drinks.BShe became more and more forgetful.CShe preferred to do everything by herself.DShe wanted to keep her house in good order.32. My wife could not find her biscuits and drink in my mothers house because _Ashe had already finished themBmy mother had taken them awayCshe forgot where she had left themDsomeone in my family was holding them 33. The underlined part in the fifth paragraph suggests that my sister _Ais happy to clean windowsBloves to clean used windowsCis fond of clean used windowsDlikes clean windows as my mother did34. This passage mainly tells us that _A. my mother often made us confusedBmy family members had a poor memoryCmy mother helped us to form a good habitDmy wife was surprised when she visited my motherB2012江苏卷 Deputy Agriculture Secretary Kathleen Merrigan sees an epidemic (流行病) sweeping across Americas farmland. It has little to do with the usual challenges, such as flood, rising fuel prices and cropeating insects. The countrys farmers are getting older, and there are fewer people standing in line to take their place. National agricultural census (普查) figures show that the fastestgrowing group of farmers is the part over 65. Merrigan is afraid the average age will be even higher when the 2012 statistics are completed.Merrigan, a former college professor, is making stops at universities across the country in hopes of encouraging more students to think about careers in agriculture. Aside from trying to stop the graying of Americas farmers, her work is made tougher by a recent blog posting that put agriculture at No. 1 on a list of “useless” college degrees. Top federal agriculture officials are talking about the posting, and it has the attention of agricultural organizations across the country. “There couldnt be anything thats more incorrect，” Merrigan said. “We know that there arent enough qualified graduates to fill the jobs that are out there in American agriculture.” In addition, a growing world population that some experts predict will require 70% more food production by 2050, she said. “I truly believe were at a golden age of agriculture. Global demand is at an alltime record high, and global supplies are at alltime record lows，”said Matt Rush, director of the Texas Farm Bureau. “Production costs are going to be valuable enough that younger people are going to have the opportunity to be involved in agriculture.” The Department of Agriculture has programs aimed at developing more farmers and at increasing interest in locally grown food. The National Young Farmers Coalition has also been pushing for state and federal policy changes to make it easier for new farmers.Ryan Best, president of Future Farmers of America, has been living out of a suitcase, traveling the country and visiting with high school students about careers in agriculture. The 21yearold Best hopes his messagethat this is a new time in agriculturewill motivate the next generation to_turn_around_the_statistics. “Never before have we had the innovations (创新) in technology which have led to agriculture in this country being the most efficient it has ever been，” he said. “Theres really a place for everybody to fit in.”35. What is the new challenge to American agriculture?A. Fewer and older farmers. B. Higher fuel prices.C. More natural disasters. D. Lower agricultural output.36. Why is Merrigan visiting universities across the country?A. To draw federal agriculture officials attention.B. To select qualified agriculture graduates.C. To clarify a recent blog posting.D. To talk more students into farming careers.37. According to Matt Rush, American agriculture will provide opportunities for younger people because _A. the government will cover production costsB. global food supplies will be even lowerC. investment in agriculture will be profitableD. America will increase its food export38. What do the underlined words “to turn around the statistics” in the last paragraph mean?A. To reanalyze the result of the national census.B. To increase agricultural production.C. To bring down the average age of farmers.D. To invest more in agriculture.课时作业(十四).1.C考查固定搭配。hearing aid是固定短语，表示“助听器”。2A考查look forward 的用法。本题容易误选B。此句中的look forward表示“向前看”，而不是表示“期望”。句意：他往前看了看，看那边发生了什么事。3D考查固定搭配。be the envy of sb.是固定搭配，表示“某人的嫉妒/羡慕对象”。 4B考查形容词在具体语境中的运用。句意：她成了这家书店的常客。considerate考虑周到的；regular 经常做某事的，常去某地的；regular customer常客；continuous连续的，持续的(不能修饰人)；constant重复的，恒定的。5. D 考查虚拟语气。It is high time that从句中，从句谓语动词要用一般过去时表示虚拟语气。句意：杰克是个大话王。是他该做点什么而不是仅仅夸夸其谈的时候了。6D考查动词辨析。句意：她一直抱怨医生收费过高。spend花费；offer出价，开价；cost花费(主语不能是人)；charge要价，收费。7C考查动词短语辨析。fill up表示“装满，填满”；bring up表示“带大，抚养大”；make up表示“占比例”；set up表示“建立，建造”。句意：美国的印第安人大约占美国总人口的百分之五。8A考查连词的用法。in case以防，以免；so that为了，目的是；in order that为了；as if似乎，好像。根据句意“当我去医务室时总要带上一些可以读的东西，以防等待”可知，答案为A。9B考查动词短语辨析。句意：总有一天你会为这一愚蠢的行为付出代价。pay out为某事而付出大笔款项；pay for sth.为付出代价；pay back sth.还某物；pay off取得成功，还清债务。根据句意可知答案为B。10. A考查动词辨析。hesitate“犹豫”；beg“恳求，祈求”；desire“要求，渴望”；seek“寻找，探索”。句意：点击这儿可以找到关于我们阿拉斯加假日旅游活动的更多信息。请不要犹豫，赶快给我们来信或打电话吧。. 本文讲述“我”来到一个“我”不了解的城市，在去医院的时候，结果误乘一辆开往相反方向的公交车。正当“我”灰心的时候，一位好心的陌生人让“我”搭便车送“我”去了医院。她告诉“我”遇到困境时，不要失去信心，因为一切皆有可能。11. A考查形容词。去医院做检查，应该是身体问题，所以选A。 12. D考查形容词。thorough意为“彻底的；完全的”。 去医院进行彻底的检查。13. B考查名词。和“我”即将要面对的相比，这似乎是很小的挑战。 14. A考查形容词。但是事情从刚一开始就不对头。go wrong意为“出错，不对头”。 15. C考查动词。没有车和不了解这座城市，只有依靠公交车从一个地方到另一个地方。 16. A考查连词。尽管给自己预留很多时间，但是不久就发现很明显“我”会迟到，因为“我”误乘了一辆去相反方向的公交车。17. C18. D考查形容词。既然是“误乘”，根据提供的所有选项，只有“相反的”符合情境。19. C考查动词短语。get off意为“下车”。20. C考查名词。根据下文a passerby，可推断是陌生人。 21. B考查副词。一个陌生人不是继续走，而是停下来问“我”是否有麻烦事，所以“我”感到很惊讶。 22. C23. D考查名词。situation意为“处境，境遇”。“我”向她解释“我”的境遇。24. A考查名词。to my appointment意为“赴约”。公交车把“我”送到“我”住的城市的医院去赴约看病。25. B考查形容词。有人帮“我”，当然很感激。 26. B考查副词。then意为“那时，当时”。当时听到附近有喇叭声，“我”抬头看到一辆车，“我”的新朋友坐在里面。 27. C考查动词。wave意为“向挥手示意”。 “我”的新朋友向“我”挥手示意让“我”上车。28. A考查名词。lift意为“顺便搭载”。 她回来让“我”搭便车去医院。29. C考查名词。kindness意为“好意；好事”。来自过路人的这样意想不到的好心帮助是“我”收到的最可爱的礼物。30. B考查名词。faith意为“信心”。她告诉“我”不要失去信心，因为一切皆有可能。. A当妻子第一次见自己妈妈的时候，去拿点饮料回来后发现自己的饼干不见了，再去拿饼干回来后，发现饮料又不见了。原来“我”有一个特别爱整洁的妈妈。不过在妈妈的影响下，我们也养成了很好的习惯。31. D推理判断题。根据第一段“It was very important that her house should remain at all times clean and tidy.”可知(母亲)希望她的房子整天保持清洁有序。32. B推理判断题。根据第二段可知如果你把读了一半的杂志放在椅子上走开，母亲会把它放回原位，所以“我妻子”找不到饼干和饮料是因为母亲把它们拿走放回去了。33. D推理判断题。根据后面下半句“and my brother does the cleaning in his house”可以推断出这句话是说我妹妹在妈妈的影响下也开始喜欢干净明亮的窗户了。34. C主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了母亲喜欢干净整洁，在她的影响下，我们全家都养成了这个好习惯。B美国的农业目前正面临农民少，年龄大的问题。从而很多专家都鼓励专业大学生从事农业生产。35. A信息理解题。根据第一段第三句“The countrys farmers are getting older, and there are fewer people standing in line to take their place.”可知选A。36. D信息理解题。根据第二段第一句“Merrigan, a former college professor, is making stops at universities across the country in hopes of encouraging more students to think about careers in agriculture.”可知选D。37. C推理判断题。根据第五段“Global demand is at an alltime record high, and global supplies are at alltime record lows”可推断Matt Rush认为，全球对农业的需要达到了最高，而供应则最低，故在农业上投资肯定会获利，即选C。38. C语意推测题。根据最后一段第二句“this is a new time in agriculturewill motivate the next generation”可推断此处表示的是“农业的新时期将会激励下一代来参与，即农民的平均年龄将会年轻化”，故C项正确。7
