资源描述
Global warming一、阅读理解。I felt like I had clicked my heels three times and e to a country away from home every morning as I walked through the doors at the Embassy of Australia in Washington.Musical Aussie accents and Aboriginal art exhibits made me wonder if I had entered without a visa. In fact I was a temporary employee，a public affairs unpaid intern(实习生) for three months during the summer in order to engage myself in the culture of the country where I planned to study the next spring. During the summer I read the Australian news every day. Working at the embassy allowed me to escape the US.for six hours per day and learn about what was going on across the planet.After reading the daily Australian and US.news I usually helped prepare a PowerPoint presentation for school kids who visited the embassy as part of a school activity. Depending on whether an embassy event was going on，I would attend weekly meetings to listen to planning and see what I could do to help.Usually there were smaller tasks to be done such as creating visitors guides. The most fantastic event in which I participated was the visit of the Australian Prime Minister. As the only American among countless Australian media and staff, I felt fortable and was kept busy taking pictures and recording doorstop interviews at famous sites such as the Capitol. As an intern, you will not be exposed to topsecret information, but you are on the inside when it es to special events.Government work is a useful addition to ones experience. As an embassy employee you will gain invaluable knowledge while spending your summer in a culturally diverse workplace.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者为了要到澳大利亚学习提前在位于华盛顿的澳大利亚驻美国大使馆实习的经历。1What is the author talking about?AHer embassy internship.BHer trouble in finding a job.CHer foreign culture experience.DHer preparation for future employment.A解析：主旨大意题。根据全文大意可知，作者主要讲述了她在位于华盛顿的澳大利亚驻美国大使馆实习的经历。2Why was the author in the Embassy of Australia for three months?ATo apply for a visa.BTo prepare to study in Australia.CTo record musical Aussie accents.DTo appreciate Aboriginal art exhibits.B解析：细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句中的“in order to engage myself in the culture of the country where I planned to study the next spring”可知，作者实习的原因是让自己融入澳大利亚的文化中，因为明年春天她要去那里学习，故答案为B。3What was the author forbidden to do when the Australian Prime Minister visited America?ARecord doorstop interviews.BKnow topsecret information.CTake pictures of special events.DStand among the Australian staff.B解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句中的“you will not be exposed to topsecret information”可知，实习生不会接触到绝密信息，故选B。4What can we infer about the authors daily routine at the Embassy?AIt is tiring.BIt is boring.CIt is exciting.DIt is relaxing.C解析：推理判断题。根据第三段第一句中的“The most fantastic event”以及最后一段中的“a useful addition”和“gain invaluable knowledge”可知，作者对这次经历的描述是非常积极和正面的，因此可以推断出，在大使馆工作是令作者兴奋的。二、语法填空。One day a young man was walking along the road when he heard a cry. It seemed _1_ (e) from underneath a bridge. As he approached the bridge, the sound got louder and then he saw _2_ pitiful sight. There, _3_ (lie) in the muddy riverbed, was a little dog about two months old, _4_ front legs were tightly tied with ropes. It had wounds on its head and was covered with mud.The young man wanted to help the dog, but as he approached, the dog started to bark. The young man did not give up. He sat down and started _5_ (gentle) talking to the dog. It took a long time but eventually the dog _6_ (stop) barking and the man was able to touch it. The young man carried the dog home, cared _7_ its wounds, and gave it food and water. Even with all of this, the dog was still _8_ (friend) every time the young man approached. But the young man did not give up. Weeks went by and the man continued _9_ (attend) to the dog. Then one day, as the young man approached, the dog wagged its tail._10_ was consistent love and kindness that won a lifelong friendship of loyalty.1_ 2._ 3._ 4._ 5._ 6._ 7._ 8._ 9._ 10._ 篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。一个年轻人在大桥下拯救了一只受伤被弃的狗，尽管小狗一开始不太友好，但他仍十分耐心地照顾它，最终小狗接纳了他。这个故事告诉人们，只有始终如一的爱才能赢得终身忠诚的友谊。1to be ing考查非谓语动词。句意：哀叫声好像来自桥下面。seem to do sth. “似乎要做某事”。根据句意可知，声音是正在传过来，应用动词不定式的进行时。故填to be ing。2a考查冠词。sight是第一次出现的单数可数名词，故填不定冠词a，表泛指。3lying考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，这是一个there be句型。动词lie与其逻辑主语dog之间是主动关系，应用现在分词表伴随。故填lying。4whose考查定语从句的引导词。分析句子结构可知，关系词引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词dog，且从句主语front legs与先行词为所属关系，故填whose。5gently考查词性转换。应用副词修饰动词短语，故填所给词gentle的副词形式gently。6stopped考查动词的时态。根据上文提示词took可知，事情发生在过去，故填动词的过去式stopped。7for考查介词。care for是固定搭配，意为“照顾”。故填介词for。8unfriendly考查词性转换。根据前后语境，尤其是关键词“even”和“still”可知，此处是表否定意义；be动词后接形容词，作表语。故填unfriendly，意为“不友好的”。9attending考查非谓语动词。continue doing sth.意为“继续做某事”，故填attending。10It考查强调句。“It is/was被强调部分that .”是强调句结构，故填it。三、完形填空。阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可能填入空白处的最佳选项。A Letter to My DadFour years ago we found out about the cancer growing inside you.You told me the news that it had

Dconversation【解题导语】你以为你对他的爱很深沉，这是你了解的；你不了解的是，他对你的爱比你的深沉一万倍。对父母的爱，要怎么才说得出口？别太晚。如果没有勇气当面表达，就写封信来告诉他。1B四年前作者发现父亲身患癌症，癌细胞已经扩散，因此，此处指不知道还能活多久。how long you had left是“你还剩下多长时间”的意思，left用作后置定语。故选B项。2C根据该空后的people older than me可判断，作者以为父(母)亲垂死这件事只会发生在比他年龄更大的人身上。故选C项。3Din doubt意为“怀疑”；in anger意为“生气地”；in vain 意为“徒劳无益地”；in shock意为“震惊地；吃惊地”。听到父亲患癌这件事，作者当然是长时间地感到震惊。故选D项。刷有所得方法：做完形填空题时，有些题要注意该空前后的介词、副词等。有时需要分别把选项与前后的介词、副词相搭配，再判断它们搭配后哪个短语的意思更符合上下文的逻辑。4A根据下文But there was nothing I could do.可知，作者什么都做不了，由此可推测，此处指作者感到无能为力。powerless意为“无能为力的”；nervous意为“紧张不安的；焦虑的”；lost意为“迷路的；不知所措的”；bored意为“厌烦的；烦闷的”。根据语境可知选A项。5A根据下文and take the cancer out可知，此处指作者希望可以进入父亲的身体拿走癌细胞。reach into意为“伸进；伸入”；turn to意为“转向；求助于”；stand by意为“袖手旁观；支持”；look into意为“调查”。故选A项。6B根据该空后面的You reacted well to treatment and youre still here可知，作者的父亲对治疗反应很好并且依然还活着，所以作者一家感觉是幸运的(lucky)。故选B项。confused意为“困惑的；混乱的”；active意为“积极的”；hopeless意为“没有希望的”。7C父亲的治疗效果很好，“我们”很幸运，虽然不知道父亲还能坚持多久，但是他还活着。better意为“更好”；deeper意为“更深”；longer意为“更长久”；further意为“更远”。故选C项。8B根据设空后的everything youve given me可知，作者在此表达对父亲的感激之情。eager意为“渴望的；热切的”；grateful意为“感激的”；regretful意为“遗憾的；后悔的”；desperate意为“绝望的”。故选B项。9D句意为：好像在我们的父子关系上就是这不成文的规则阻止了这句话被说出口。unwritten rule意为“不成文的规则”，符合语境。故选D项。10A根据下文的Youre a man conservative和You keep them to yourself可知，父亲很保守，所以这一不成文的规则阻止了父爱的表达。prevent意为“阻止；防止”；change意为“改变”；destroy 意为“破坏；摧毁”；transform意为“使改观；使转化”。故选A项。11Bguarded意为“谨慎的”，结合下文的You keep them to yourself可知，此处指父亲是一个保守的、对情感(feelings)谨慎的人。conservative and guarded with your feelings作后置定语，修饰前面的a man。故选B项。illness意为“疾病”；belongings意为“所有物”；opinion意为“观点”。12B根据前文对父亲的描述conservative, guarded with your _可知，父亲收敛自己的感情，希望别人也这样做。require意为“要求”；expect意为“期望；盼望”；allow意为“允许”；persuade意为“劝说；说服”。故选B项。13C根据下文的Ive seen your proud looks可知，父亲是很在意儿子的。lie意为“撒谎”；understand意为“理解”；care意为“在意；在乎”；fear意为“害怕”。故选C项。14A根据前面的your proud looks可知，父亲自豪的应该是作者取得的成就(achievements)。故选A项。difficulty意为“困难”；goal意为“目标”；experience意为“经历”。15D根据设空后的when things havent gone well及I remember all the offers of help.可知，当事情进展不顺利时，父亲会主动提供帮助，因此可知，父亲是关心儿子的。power意为“力量；权力”；anger意为“愤怒；生气”；curiosity意为“好奇心”；concern意为“担心；忧虑”。故选D项。16D结合下文I wish you could tell me youre _ and I could tell you I love you.可知，作者希望父亲能够告诉他父亲是如何想的，作者也能告诉父亲作者爱他。由此可推测，此处指作者希望能够与父亲谈论他们对彼此意味着(mean)什么。故选D项。17C根据上文的your proud looks可知，此处指作者希望父亲能够告诉他父亲为他而自豪。conservative意为“守旧的；保守的”；brave意为“勇敢的”；proud 意为“骄傲的；自豪的”；helpful 意为“有帮助的”。故选C项。18A根据上一题解析及空后的masculinity可知，此处指作者希望这些荒谬的大男子观念不会在他和父亲的心中根深蒂固。absurd意为“荒唐的；可笑的”，符合语境。故选A项。important意为“重要的”；useful意为“有用的”；popular意为“流行的”。19C根据语境可知，此处指作者希望这样的大男子观念不要根深蒂固。lost in意为“迷失在”；trapped in意为“陷入”；rooted in意为“植根于；深植于”；covered in意为“被覆盖”故选C项。20D根据上文的talk about可知，此处指作者与父亲的谈话(conversation)。故选D项。四、短文改错。Time flies! This is a third year that I have been in this school. In the past two and a half years, our school had organized many activities. What impressed me most was an activity called “Learning to Farm”. In an autumn afternoon, we were sent to a farm which we learnt to plant potatoes. Having been in the city for so a long time, we were so happy to go to the countryside. After divided into three groups, we started to work. Some students cut potatoes into pieces, some dug holes, and the others put the pieces of potatoes into the hole, put the earth back and pushed them down hard. We continued doing that until all the work was done. Although we were exhausted, but we felt fulfilled on our way back home.答案：Time flies! This is third year that I have been in this school.
