The Olympic Games一、阅读理解When I was in college, I spent a semester studying abroad at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland. In my brief time there, I came to love Scotland for its local culture, food and scenery.You might think：“Scotland isnt so different from the US.; they still speak English there！” But when I stepped off the plane, I was greeted by a gruffvoiced(声音粗哑的) lady at customs. “Youll be ing from America, then？” She asked me, and I nodded. “But all of our guys are leaving Glasgow for the States！” Her thick Scottish English and sense of humor were obvious right away. I was not in the US. any more, where customs agents never joke around.As I settled in at the university, I could feel myself getting used to hearingand even speakingthe Scottish English of my customs agent. In classroom discussions, people would say “em” when they couldnt think of what to say instead of “um”， which was great fun. After the first few weeks, I stopped chuckling about this. Strathclyde students stayed up late into the night, running around campus and shouting, “Go! Lats go, lats go(curse word) Glasgow！” Pretty soon, I was no longer saying “thanks” at the supermarketinstead, I said “cheers”My Scottish friends drank whiskey and ate haggis(羊杂碎布丁). I drank plenty of whiskey but I was ashamed to admit that I wasnt brave enough to try haggis. Scottish bakeries usually sell bridies(肉馅饼). Add a cup of teathough I usually Americanized it by choosing coffee insteadand a bridie makes for a delicious breakfast.Every time I took a train anywhere in Scotland, Id gaze out at the rolling hills and wonder if grass was greener than anywhere else in the world. Then Id reflect that theres a reason this country was the birthplace of golf.【解题导语】本文介绍了“我”在苏格兰学习期间的体验：居民友好，食物独特，景色优美，苏格兰英语与美式英语有区别。1What did the author think of the lady at customs?AImpolite.BFriendly.CSerious.DCalm.B解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Her thick Scottish English and sense of humor were obvious right away.

him.第一处：areis。考查主谓一致。whose引导的定语从句的先行词是代词“one”，因此谓语动词应该用单数。第二处：becausethat。考查名词性从句。主语为名词reason，表语从句中的连接词要用that。第三处：smilesmiles。考查动词时态和主谓一致。由后文“which makes me”可知，主句应用一般现在时；主语为第三人称单数，谓语动词应该用单数。第四处：makemaking。考查非谓语动词。make与前面的谓语动词之间无连词，故此处应用现在分词短语作结果状语。第五处：honesthonesty。考查名词。形容词不能作主语，应该用名词。第六处：lies后加to。考查固定用法。lie to sb.意为“对某人说谎”。第七处：thea。考查冠词。此处表示他是一个热心并且有同情心的人，表示泛指，应该用不定冠词。第八处：删除in。考查介词。句意：无论何时我有困难，他都愿意帮助我。have trouble意为“有困难”，in多余。第九处：excellentlyexcellent。考查形容词。作is的表语应该用形容词。第十处：himme。考查代词。Petou能帮助别人也能帮助我。
