The experiment shows that proper amounts of exercise, if _ (carry) out regularly, can improve our health. 答案：carried句意：试验表明，如果有规律地进行适量的锻炼，就能够提高身体健康状况。首先，if carried outif it is carried out，依句意可知it指proper amounts of exercise，与carry out 构成被动关系，所以用过去分词表被动含义。8. Though _ (surprise) to see us, the professor gave us a warm wele.答案：surprised当状语从句的主语和主句的主语一致，且从句中含有系动词be时，可以省略从句主语和系动词be，从句补充完整为though he was surprised to see us。9. _ (be) there no modern telemunications, we would have to wait for weeks to get news from around the world.答案：Were句意：要是没有现代化的通讯工具，我们要等上几周才能获取世界各地的新闻。本题考查虚拟语气。根据主句谓语结构would have to可知设空处表示与现在事实相反的假设，if条件从句谓语应为“动词的过去式”，即If there were.，在虚拟条件句中可以省略if，把were提到句首。10. They were about to go out _ it began to rain.答案：when句意：他们正要出去，这时天开始下雨了。sb. be about to do sth. when.“某人正要做某事，这时突然”为固定结构。提升实战能力.阅读理解It is widely known that any English conversation begins with The Weather. Such a fixation with the weather finds expression in Dr.Johnsons famons ment that“When two English meet, their first talk is of weather.” Though Johnsons observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago, most mentators fail to e up with a convincing explanation for this English weatherspeak.Bill Bryson, for example, concludes that, as the English weather is not at all exciting, the obsession with it can hardly be understood. He argues that“To an outsider, the most striking thing about the English weather is that there is not very much of it.” Simply, the reason is that the unusual and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the British Isles.Jeremy Paxman, however, disagrees with Bryson, arguing that the English weather is by nature attractive. Bryson is wrong, he says, because the English preference for the weather has nothing to do with the natural phenomena. “The interest is less in the phenomena themselves, but in uncertainty.”According to him, the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain and it attracts the English as well as the outsider.Bryson and Paxman stand for mon misconceptions about the weatherspeak among the English. Both mentators, somehow, are missing the point. The English weather conversation is not really about the weather at all. English weatherspeak is a system of signs, which is developed to help the speakers overe the natural reserve and actually talk to each other. Everyone knows conversations starting with weatherspeak are not requests for weather data. Rather, they are routine greetings, conversation starters or the blank “fillers”. In other words English weatherspeak is a means of social bonding.本文为议论文，主要介绍了对英国人见面谈论天气的不同看法。1. The author mentions Dr.Johnsons ment to show that _.Amost mentators agree with Dr.JohnsonBDr.Johnson is famous for his weather observationCthe ment was accurate two hundred years agoDEnglish conversations usually start with the weather答案：D推理判断题。第一段作者首先提出英国人见面谈论天气这一现象，接着就给出了Dr.Johnson的评论，由此可判断引用Dr.Johnson评论的目的是说明这一现象的普遍，故选D项。2. What does the underlined word “obsession” most probably refer to?A. A social trend.B. An emotional state.C. A historical concept. D. An unknown phenomenon.答案：B词义猜测题。第二段提到Bill Bryson认为由于英国的天气一点也不让人兴奋，所以人们见面就谈天气的这种痴迷令人费解。可推断obsession的意思可能是“痴迷”，是一种情感状态，故选B。A：社会趋势；B：情感状态；C：历史概念；D：未知现象。3. According to the passage, Jeremy Paxman believes that _.A. Bill Bryson has little knowledge of the weatherB. there is nothing special about the English weatherC. the English weather attracts people to the British IslesD. English people talk about the weather for its uncertainty答案：D推理判断题。根据第三段中“The interest is less in the phenomena themselves, but in uncertainty.”可知人们见面谈论天气的兴趣不在天气本身，而在于天气的不确定性，故选D。4. What is the authors main purpose of writing the passage?ATo explain what English weatherspeak is about.BTo analyse misconceptions about the English weather.CTo find fault with both Bill Bryson and Jeremy Paxman.DTo convince people that the English weather is changeable.答案：A主旨大意题。文章第一段首先引出英国人见面爱谈天气的现象，第二和第三段分别阐述了Bill Bryson和Jeremy Paxman对这一现象的两种相反观点，最后一段提出了自己的观点：英国人见面谈论天气是社交的一种手段，可判断文章的写作目的是剖析英国人见面谈天气的原因。.七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Cold weather has a great effect on how our minds and our bodies work. Maybe that is why there are so many expressions that use the word “cold”. For centuries, the bodys blood has been linked closely with the emotions. People who show no human emotions or feelings, for example, are said to be coldblooded. _1_ They may do cruel things to others, and not by accident. Cold can affect other parts of the body, the feet, for example. Heavy socks can keep your feet warm, if your feet are really cold. But there is an expressionto get cold feet. _2_The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do. For example, you agree to be president of an organization. But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned(放弃). All the work of the organization will be your responsibility. _3_ Cold can also affect your shoulder. _4_ You treat them in a distant and cold way. The expression probably es from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him facetoface. You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you, or to someone who has lied about you to others. Out in the cold is an expression often heard. It means not getting something that everybody else got. A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise, and that he was left out in the cold. _5_A. A cold fish is not a fish.B. And it is not a pleasant place to be.C. Coldblooded people act in merciless ways.D. That has nothing to do with cold or your feet.E. You may feel cold if you are lied to by others.F. You give someone the cold shoulder when you refuse to speak to them.G. You are likely to get cold feet about being the president when you understand the situation.“寒冷”有时候不是指天气。本文向我们说明了一些与“寒冷”有关的习语。1C上文提到“冷血的人没有人类的情绪或感觉”，故此处选择C项“冷血的人做事情的方式也很无情”，紧承上文进行论述。2D上文提到to get cold feet，故此处选择D项“这个成语与寒冷或你的脚没有任何关系”，与上文相呼应。3G上文提到“这个短语的意思是临阵脱逃”，并讲述了一个例子，故此处选择G项“你很可能会在了解到局势时不想成为总裁了”，对上文进行总结。 4F下文提到“你以一种冷淡而且疏远的方式对待他们”，F项“当你不愿意和他们讲话时你会对他们冷淡”与下文语境相呼应。5B此处紧承上文的in the cold进行论述，即“(被冷落)那不是一件令人愉快的事情”对上文进行总结。.书面表达 假设你们的学校和英国的友谊学校互派交换生。John在中国学习一段时间后，发现有点不适应，找不到正确的学习方法。请你根据下表所提供的内容给他写一封鼓励信，给他提一些建议。词数100左右。开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。建议原因注意每堂课的后20分钟，尤其最后几分钟老师会做小结或给出结论课前预习上课时带着问题听课针对性强记好笔记课后复习时用每天复习要点10分钟否则大多数会忘记Dear John，Im sorry to hear that you didnt find the right way to learn in China. Here are a few suggestions I have to help you for your study._This is my advice for you and I hope it can help you a lot. Yours sincerely， Li MengOne Possible Version：Dear_John，Im_sorry_to_hear_that_you_didnt_find_the_right_way_to_learn_in_China._Here_are_a_few_suggestions_I_have_to_help_you_for_your_study.First of all, pay particular attention during the last 20 minutes and to the final minutes of class when a summary might be given or when conclusions may be drawn by your teachers. Secondly, read the text before class so that you can attend class with an interest in the material and with questions to be answered, which can be very helpful. Thirdly, take careful notes of the points and what your teachers stress in class so that you can review them after class. You should also go over the notes for 10 minutes for each class within 24 hours, or else you may forget most of what your teachers have talked about.This_is_my_advice_for_you_and_I_hope_it_can_help_you_a_lot. Yours_sincerely， Li_Meng
