Travelling abroad一、阅读理解。Johannes Vermeer is such a quiet and introspective(内省的)artist that it took hundreds of years for anyone to notice he was a genius.A major Vermeer exhibition opens this month at the Louvre in Paris，whose permanent collection includes his great painting of a woman absorbed in close，visually demanding work，The Lacemaker(about 16691670)Like other paintings by Vermeer，this image represents modern culture.So attracted are todays art lovers by Vermeer that it was thought shocking when a recent survey found that 82% of Americans cant name who painted Girl with a Pearl Earring.Well，maybe they dont go to the movies much.It is not true to say he was forgottenthat would suggest he was famous in his lifetime.He was not.Vermeer was one more painter among the many who worked for money in the Dutch Republic in the 17th century.He was not a star like Rembrandt.He obviously took himself and his art seriously.His selfreferential painting The Art of Painting proves that.Even though he worked all his life in Delft，he painted only 35 known works and left his family poor when he died in 1675 at the age of 43.It is fitting that Paris is celebrating Vermeer，because it was the French avantgarde(先锋派)in the 19th century who saved him from being pletely forgotten.pare his painting Woman in Blue Reading a Letter or The Little Street with，say，Edouard Manets A Bar at the FoliesBergre(1882)or Camille Pissarros The Boulevard Montmartre at Night(1897)and it is easy to see why the art of Vermeer found its natural audience in Parisian bohemia.All these artists are likely to have known about and admired Vermeer due to the efforts of the critic ThorBrger，a veteran of the 1848 Revolution.Vermeers rediscovery is part of the history of modern French art.Vermeer is not only a great artist.He is a great modern artist.1How many paintings produced by Vermeer are mentioned in the text?AFour.

(should) do . “据要求”为固定句式；此处从句主语employees与所给动词之间为被动关系，故用被动语态。6To finish the job in an hour is out of _ question.答案：theout of the question “不可能的”。7As far as Im _ (concern), its time to share some secrets with you.答案：concernedas far as Im concerned “在我看来；就我而言”。8He got the first prize in the petition, _ was a surprise to his parents.答案：which该句为which引导的非限制性定语从句，指代主句提到的整件事，在从句中作主语。9Who do you _ (think) is fit for the job?答案：thinkdo you think在句中作插入语，构成“特殊疑问词do you think陈述语序”结构。10She wondered _ to win the game.答案：how“特殊疑问词to do”在该句中充当宾语，此外还可以充当主语、表语等。三、完形填空。Something quite tragic(悲剧的)happened in our home.It had a _1_ effect on our lives.It _2_ the way we relax and even where we sit.There was no fire or flood.we _3_ our WiFi service，for over a week.I was raised in the preWiFi era，so I was relatively _4_ to the situation.My children，_5_，did not have this training.When given the news that there was no WiFi in the house，their first _6_ was：“But，what will we do？”Fortunately，the TV still worked，although the children were _7_ to find that it had only 70 channels.For the children，a(n) _8_ challenge was homework，most of which is now given online.The lack of broadband seemed to provide a new _9_ of “the dog ate my homework”excuse.My daughter _10_ that one of her friends had her water supply temporarily _11_ due to a leak，but she thought that our lack of WiFi was _12_.“Because you can go to the shop and buy water，right？”My husband and I need the Internet to _13_ us to work at home.Luckily，Ive found out that these days you can go to the shop to _14_ WiFi.Although expensive，it allows you to set up your own WiFi network _15_.Buying 1 GB of data makes you view your broadband differently.I dont want to _16_ it like leaving a tap running.We log on to the WiFi network and do what we have to do as _17_ as possible and log off.The changes that _18_ has created in our daily life have occurred without us really _19_.The _20_ part of our time without WiFi was seeing the children make forts(堡垒)out of the sofa cushions，which they havent done in years.1A.possible BmodestCpositive Dhuge2A.explored BchallengedCimproved Dguaranteed3A.received BbookedClost Dbought4A.addicted BaccustomedCadmitted Dattached5A.however BthereforeCotherwise Dbesides6A.impression BinspirationCresponse Drequest7A.excited BgratefulCembarrassed Ddesperate8A.avoidable BmajorCenjoyable Dsimple9A.version BtranslationCdimension Dcollection10A.repeated BpromisedCobserved Dignored11A.fixed up Bcut offCused up Dlaid in12A.worse BbetterCclearer Dmore13A.force BencourageCremind Denable14A.look into Bsearch forCpurchase Dborrow15A.easily BsecurelyCfirmly Dconstantly16A.share BanalyzeCstore Dwaste17A.steadily BquicklyCproperly Dsmoothly18A.technology BinformationCknowledge Dintelligence19A.reflecting BhearingCappreciating Dnoticing20A.rigid BtoughCbright Dnecessary【解题导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，讲述了WiFi对“我”家生活的影响。【核心词汇】have an effect on对有影响temporarily adv.暂时地log on登录occur v发生1D根据上下文可知，家里没有WiFi对我们生活的影响是巨大的(huge)。possible“可能的”；modest“谦虚的”；positive“积极的”。2B根据前一句“It had a _1_ effect on our lives”和下文的“But，what will we do”可知，平时家里离不开WiFi，现在没有了，当然对我们平时的生活方式产生挑战。explore“探索”；improve“提升”；guarantee“保证”。3C根据下文的“When given the news that there was no WiFi in the house”可知，我们家里失去(lost) WiFi一个多星期；receive“收到”；book“订购”；buy“购买”。4B根据第二段第一句“I was raised in the preWiFi era”可知，“我”是在没有WiFi的时代长大的，因此对于没有了WiFi也是比较习惯的(accustomed)，be accustomed to表示“习惯于”。5A根据上下文可推知，“我”习惯无WiFi的生活，但是孩子们不习惯。上下文是转折关系，因此选however。6C根据空后的“But, what will we do”可知空处指的是他们的第一反应(response)。7D根据上下文可知，没有WiFi只有电视，且电视频道只有70多个，孩子们很绝望。excited“兴奋的”；grateful“感激的”；embarrassed“尴尬的”；desperate“绝望的”。8B根据本句的定语从句“most of which is now given online”可知，家庭作业应是孩子们的主要(major)挑战。avoidable“可避免的”；enjoyable“令人愉快的”；simple“简单的”。9A空后的“the dog ate my homework”表示“狗吃了我的作业”，此处表示没有网络是这种借口的一个新提法，故选A。10C根据空后的宾语从句“that one of her friends had her water supply temporarily_11_ due to a leak”可知，这些内容应该是女儿讲出来(observed)的。 repeat“重复”；promise“承诺”；ignore“忽略”；observe“观察，说，评论”。11B根据该空后的“due to a leak”可推知，水管漏水了，供水会被暂时中断(cut off)。12A根据上下文可知，女儿认为我们没有WiFi更糟糕(worse)。13D根据上下文可知，为了能够在家工作，丈夫和“我”需要互联网。enable sb.to do sth.表示“使某人能做某事”。14C根据下文的“Although expensive”可知，“我”去商店买(purchase)WiFi。 look into“调查”；search for“寻找”；borrow“借”。15A根据语境可知，买了WiFi，“我”建立自己的网络就容易了。16D根据本句中的“like leaving a tap running(像让水管的水不停地流着一样)”可知，我们知道让水管的水不停地流着意味着“浪费”，故选D。17B根据上下文可知，当“我”上网做事时，“我”是尽快地做，as quickly as possible表示“尽快地”。18A根据语境可知，技术已经引起了我们日常生活的改变，这些改变在我们没有注意(noticing)的情况下发生了。19D参见上题解析。reflect“反思”；hear“听到”；appreciate“欣赏”。20C根据该空后的“without WiFi was seeing the children make forts(堡垒)out of the sofa cushions，which they havent done in years”可知，没有了WiFi，孩子们可以在一起玩，这是愉快的(bright)事情。四、单句改错1Rose is really fort to all of us. She brings us a lot of fun and happiness._答案：fort前加afort表示“舒适；舒服；安慰”讲时为不可数名词，作“令人安慰的人或事”讲时为可数名词，即此处为“抽象名词具体化”的用法。2Occupying with various research projects all day, he was tired out._答案：OccupyingOccupied(be) occupied with . “忙着做；忙于某事物”，形容词短语在句中作状语。3Since he arrived in Beijing, he has adjusted to eat the northern food gradually._答案：eateating该词组中的to为介词，故后接名词或动名词。adjust to (doing) sth. “适应(做)某事”。4The question that many students are puzzled about is how improve their oral English._答案：how后加to“特殊疑问词to do不定式短语”在该句中作表语。5Charlie chaplin is acknowledged of one of the most outstanding edians in the history of cinema._答案：第一个ofasbe acknowledged as . “被公认为/被认为是”。五、短文改错With the development of science and technology，intelligent robots will be wide used in the future. At home，robots will help people do some housework and taking care of the elderly，babies and patients.In addition to these task，robots will even be able to play the chess and do exercise with people.In factories，robots will be used to perform some dangerous jobs avoid accidents.Robots will change our future life by many ways，what will make it more colorful and fortable.Therefore，we shouldnt depend on intelligent robots too much，for they were made to help humans rather than replace us.As helpers of we humans，robots should be used properly.【答案】With the development of science and technology，intelligent robots will be used in the future. At home，robots will help people do some housework and care of the elderly，babies and p atients.In addition to these ，robots will even be able to play chess and do exercise with people.In factories，robots will be used to perform some dangerous jobs avoid accidents.Robots will change our future life many ways， will make it more colorful and fortable.，we shouldnt depend on intelligent robots too much，for they made to help humans rather than replace us.As helpers of humans，robots should be used properly.第一处：widewidely。考查副词。修饰动词，故用副词。wide也可作副词，意为“尽可能广地”，不符合语境。第二处：takingtake。考查固定用法。根据该句中的“help people do some housework and”可知，此处应用原形；help sb.(to) do sth.为固定用法。第三处：tasktasks。考查名词的数。task为可数名词，根据该词前的these可知，应用复数形式。第四处：删除the。考查冠词。play chess为固定用法，意为“下象棋”；棋类名词前不用冠词。第五处：jobs后加to。考查动词不定式。在工厂里，机器人将被用于执行危险任务，以避免事故。分析句子结构可知，应用动词不定式表目的。第六处：byin。考查介词。in many ways意为“在很多方面”。第七处：whatwhich。考查关系代词。分析该句结构可知，该句为非限制性定语从句，且先行词为ways，故用which引导该定语从句。第八处：ThereforeHowever。考查副词。上句说，机器人将改变我们未来的生活，使我们的生活多彩而舒适；该句说，我们不能过度依赖智能机器人；据此可知，两句间为转折关系，故用However。第九处：wereare。考查动词的时态。机器人是被用来帮助人类的，而不是来代替人类的。该句陈述的是客观事实，故用一般现在时。第十处：weus。考查代词。of后接宾语，故用宾格us。
