Second, if you think there 3. _ be an earthquake, it is better to build houses on rocks , not on 4. _. Third, you must make the houses as 5. _ as possible. Weak buildings will fall down in an earthquake, but strong ones may 6. _ . . Scientists are 7. _ that one day an even bigger earthquake will hit the part around San Francisco(旧金山) . They call it “ The Big One ”. However, people today are still building more 8. _ . The population in and around San Francisco is 9. _ ten times more than it was in 1906.

People sometimes 1 _ him broken umbrellas, and then he took them to a big shop in London. They were 2 _ there. One day Mr. Brown went to London by train. He 3 _ to take an umbrella with him that day. Sitting in front of him was a man with an umbrella standing 4 _ the seat. When the train arrived in London, Mr. Brown 5 _ up the umbrella as he often did during his journey by train. Just as he was getting off, he was 6 _ by the man. He said angrily, “Thats 7_ !” Mr. Brown s face turned red and he gave it back to the man at once. When Mr Brown got to the big shop, the shopkeeper had got his six umbrellas ready. After a good look at 8 _ of them, he said, “Youve mended them very well.” In the afternoon he got into the train again. The 9 _ man was in the same seat. He looked at Mr Brown and his six umbrellas, “Youve had a 10 _ day,” he said.1.brought 2.mended 3. forgot 4. beside 5.picked 6. stopped 7. mine 8.each 9. same 10. lucky【剖析】这是一篇伞店老板Mr Brown在火车上发生的故事，是叙述类文章。要求填的词汇都是大纲范围内的词汇，因此难度不是很大。学生应在短文语境中对有用的信息进行推敲，结合整篇文章的内容，确定所需词汇。通读全文，了解大意。再读全文，确定所需词的词义、词性和词形。第1题需要动词，因为该句无谓语，意思是“带来”或“给”，所以选brought。第2题需要动词，由于该句是被动语态，意思是“被修理”，选mended。 第3题为动词，由空前主语和空后的动词不定式决定，根据下文判断意思是“忘记”，选forgot。第4题选介词。由语境决定的，意思是“在座位旁边”，选beside。第5题选动词，意思是“拾起”，恰好是词组pick up,故事发生在过去，所以选picked。第6题选动词，由于句子是被动语态，选stopped。第7题选名词性物主代词，由于句子是主系表结构，意思是“我的”，选mine。第8题选代词，由后面的of结构决定的，指“每一”或者“全部”，选词中没有提供all；所以选each 。第9题选形容词，由于它修饰的是名词，指“相同的”，选same。第10题选形容词，由于它修饰的是名词，指“幸运的或好的”，选lucky。 ( 3 )A farmer saw an old man growing something on the other side of the river.The farmer 1. _ out to him, “ What are you growing , Grandpa? ”The old man 2 . _ for a moment, then said, “Swim over 3. _ Ill tellyou.”The farmer didnt like the 4. _ of swimming across the river.

I would have 8. _ quite clearly on that side.” Said the farmer.“ Oh, no, I wouldnt 9. _ that . The sparrows would have heard me and 10. _ my peas.”1. called 2.didnt speak 3. and 4.idea 5. what 6.quietly 7.garden 8.heard 9.do 10. eaten 1 此题选called 。 根据第一段讲的“一个农夫在河对岸看到一个老人在种什么东西”推理， 当他想问河对岸这位老人在种什么时，就得大声喊 “called out”。2 这题选 didnt speak。因为从下文可知这位老人并没有立刻回答。3 这里需要并列连词，选 and。由上文得知老人没有急于回答，而是让他游过来，再告诉他。 4 利用排除法，结合上下文的意思，可知此题选 idea。5从上下文的意思及句子结构，可知此题选 what。6从后面的in his ear ,可知说话的声音应该是悄悄地, 所以选 quietly。7从上下文可判断应是在garden里种东西。8从这个农夫前一句话有 shouted 一词也知后面为“听”的意思，表示听的结果应为heard。9 根据上下文的意思，“我不能那样做”选 do 。10此话表示如果我大声说话，麻雀会听到的，那么它就会来吃我的豌豆，虚拟语气， 选 eaten 。 ( 4 )Mrs Andrews had a young cat, and it was the cats first winter. One evening it was 1._ when it began to snow heavily. Mrs Andrews looked 2. _it everywhere and shouted its name, but she did not find it, 3. _ she telephone the police and said, “ I have4. _ a small black cat.

She almost talks. ”The policeman was getting tired, “Well then, ” he said “ Why dont you put your 10._ down? Maybe she is trying to telephone you now. ”1.outside 2.for 3. so 4. lost 5. anybody 6.strong 7. well 9. clever 8. happier 10. telephone 1. 从上下文可看出猫在外面，因此选outside。2. “look for寻找”是固定搭配 ， 所以选for。3. 从上下文判断表因果, 所以选so。4. 从上下文判断找不到猫，所以是丢了lost。5. 在疑问句中应用不定代词anybody 。6. 猫是一种生命力非常强的动物，所以选strong。7. 表示身体好当用 well 。8. 从上下文可以知道， Mrs. Andrews 听了警察安慰她的话后，感觉好些了，所以选happier 。9. 从后面一句的 “She almost talks”可推断出她的猫clever 。10. 联系上下文，Mrs. Andrews在打电话，所以警察让她放下电话telephone。 ( 5 ) Here are some old ways to sending messages. An Egyptian(埃及人) put his ear to the ground. He 1 . _ the horses coming this way. He ran to 2. _ his people . He was a 3. _ .

In the next village people heard the drum and beat their drums, too. The messages went from village to village by 5._ .Much 6. _ , some armies (军队) kept many pigeons(鸽子) . These pigeons always 7_ back. When a soldier was sent far away from his own 8. _ , he might take a pigeon along. He could tie a message to the birds leg.

Can you think of more 10. _?1 heard 2. tell 3. guard 4. other 5. drum 6. more 7 . flew 8. army 9. with 10.ways1. 他“听到”马朝这边跑来的声音，故选 heard。2. 他跑去 “告诉”他的人民，故选tell。3. 符合上下文要求，应该是放哨的人guard。4. “其他”国家的不特指，other。5. 通过鼓来传递信号，drums。6. “更何况，更不用说 much more ”是固定搭配，所以选 more。7. 常理，鸽子应是“飞” 回来的，所以此题选flew。8. 根据士兵应属军队，这一题选army。9. 表示伴随，应用“带着with” 。10.根据上文，推断这里是问，“你能想出更多的方法吗？”，所以选 ways。 ( 6 ) Light travels at a speed(速度) which is about a million times 1 . _ than that of sound. 2. _ one second, light travels about 300,000 kilometers, but sound travels only 340 meters. You can get some idea of this difference by 3. _ the start of a running match. If you stand far away from the starter(发令员), you can see smoke 4._ from his gun 5._ the sound reaches your ears.The fast speed of light produces some strange facts.

They were 10. _ four years ago but their light has just reached our earth. ” 1.faster 2.In 3. watching 4. come 5. before 6. so 7. ago 8. its 9. cannot 10. shining1 因为光的速度比声快，显然“than”之前应该用比较级，所以选faster。2 承接上文，这里应该用“在 内”，选。3 介词后应接动名词，表示观看比赛应用 watch , 所以选watching。4 see后跟不带to 的不等式，做宾语的补足语，即see sb. do 结构, 因此，选come 。5 发令枪响时，在远处观看的人，先看到的是火光和烟，紧接着听到的才是枪声。选before 。6 引导一个表结果的状语从句。 “如此 以致于 so that ” ，下文有that 所以这里应该用so。7 由上下文判断这里应选 ago。8 “开始 的旅程 on ones journey ” 是固定搭配，选 its 。9 上文已告诉我们：有的星球离我们太远，它们的光线到达我们地球需要几年的时间。因而从科学的角度讲，我们不能说“今夜星光灿烂”。选 cannot 。10根据上文可知，我们现在看到的光是几年前的发出的，应选shining。( 7 )A man was sitting in the doctors office.
