One terribly cold day, a snowstorm hit our area. Needing firewood, I quickly set out with my best friend, Bruce, to look for a tree to cut down. Cutting down a tree in a snowstorm can be dangerous. (1) So to have a friend who could warn me of dangerso was important.
When I chose a big 23-meter-tall tree and prepared to cut it down, Bruce suddenly warned me, “Don’t cut down that tree! It’s too close to the power line!” I wasn’t sure about it. So I decided to disregard his warning. I couldn’t wait to finish the job and go back home. I began cutting down the tree. (2) When the tree fell, there was no longer any doubt whether my friend was right.
The tree caught the power line, bringing it to the ground. I considered cutting the tree off the line. After all, electricity can’t travel through wood. As I reached out my finger to touch the tree, pain ran up my arm and through my head. I had been shocked!
After I returned home and told my mother what happened, she quickly called the power company. Workers from the power company soon arrived. One of them asked if I had touched the tree, and when I told him I had, his face turned pale. “You should have been killed,” he said. It was my boots that saved my life.
(3)Within two hours, the workers removed the tree. Soon the snowstorm calmed down——but not my mother. Even though she was glad that I wasn’t hurt, my mother was still serious with me. After all(毕竟), I shouldn’t have brushed off my friend’s warning.
小题1:将①处改成同义句。
_______________________________________________________________________________
小题2:将②处翻译成汉语。
小题3:将③处用It takes sb. some time to do sth. 句型改为同义句。
___________________________________________________________________________

小题1:So it was important to have a friend who could warn me of dangers.
小题2:当树砍倒时,(所发生的事表明)毫无疑问我朋友说的话是正确的。
小题3:It took the workers two hours to remove the tree.

试题分析:这篇短文中作者主要记述了自己一次砍树的经历,由于不听从朋友的劝告,最好把电线挂断,自己也差点一次丧命。
小题1:考察强调句式, It is adj for sb to do sth,做某事对某人来说怎么样。本句中it是形式主语,指代后面不定式内容做形式主语.
小题2:考察句式it is no doubt 无疑……。
小题3:考察take用法。take 用于 it takes sb ... to do sth句型,仅指花费时间(three hours等),必须用it作形式主语,指代下文不定式内容。
点评:此类题型考查英语知识的综合运用,各小题类型比较复杂,涉及补全句子,翻译及阅读理解等题型,答题中要注意运用这些题型的答题技巧。答题前一定要弄懂全文,然后再动手解答问题。答题过程中,注意联系学过的句式,短语,结合短文内容,完成各小题的解答。

As soon as you land at London Heathrow airport, you will see it is easy for you to ride the subway or take a bus to your hotel. However, if you are planning on touring London, it would be the best idea for you to rent a car so that you can go wherever you wish to visit freely and you don’t have to run to catch a bus or a train. Remember that the trains in London are always very crowded. So a rental car is the easiest and most comfortable way to travel.
London has so many different attractions(旅游景点) to offer and the same is true for England itself. In London you can find Buckingham Palace, which you can also visit during summer time when the Queen of England goes to one of the castles(城堡)around the country. If you are interested in history and art, you can’t miss the National Gallery, which is right in front of Trafalgar Square. Not far from Trafalgar Square, there is the House of Parliament that faces the Thames River. If you wish to have a good view of London, then the best idea would be to take a ride on the London Eye, the tallest Ferris wheel(摩天轮)of Europe. The tour takes about half an hour so you can sit comfortably and take pictures of London from above.
London is not too far from other major cities and attractions in England. For example, a drive of only one hour and a half will take you to Cambridge and with even less time than that you can reach Stonehenge to see the stones that have been there for centuries.
小题1:According to the passage, the best way for you to tour London is ______________.
A.to take the subwayB.to take buses
C.to take the trainD.to rent a car

小题3:Among these attractions, _____________ are in London.
①Buckingham Palace
②The London Eye
③Stonehenge
④Trafalgar Square
A.①②③B.②③④C.①②④D.①③④
小题4:Which of the following is NOT true?
A.By visiting the National Gallery, you can learn much about history and art.
B.The House of Parliament lies by the Thames River.
C.Cambridge is just one and a half hours’ drive from London.
D.The stones in Stonehenge have been there for only a hundred years.

My mother was a housewife. She thought that successful people spent a lot more time reading than watching TV. So she asked my brother and me not to watch too much TV, but to read two books every week in our free time. She would check them with marks, though she couldn’t read the book at all.
When I went to high school, I was an A-student, but not for long. I wanted cool clothes and hung out with friends. I became a C-student, but I didn’t care.

I went back to my studies and became an A-student again. Finally, my dream came true and I became a doctor.

Wonder why you can get angry so easily while your friend smiles all the time? It’s probably because you both have different personalities(个性).
Personality is also about how people think, behave, and react (反应) to everything around them from day to day.
So what makes people think and behave in certain ways?
Part of the reason is that people are born like this. A baby gets its blood type, genes (基因) and other physical things when it’s still inside its mother. These things may help decide what the baby will be like.
But one’s personality doesn’t stop here. Family life, school learning and life experiences can also make you the person you are. This doesn’t mean it’s impossible to change your personality. You can always try to make yourself better. Don’t get too worried about your shortcomings (缺点). Just accept them. This is a good way to start making changes.
If you don’t know how to make friends, find out why. Is it because you’re too shy? Tell yourself to smile at people. Start talking to people using warm greetings.
Don’t give yourself a hard time about it all. It’s not easy to change lifelong habits in one night. Keep working at it. One day you’ll see that you can turn over a new leaf and be a new you!
小题1:Personality is about the following except        .
A.how you behave
B.what you look like
C.how you react to something
D.how you think about something
小题2:We know that         from the passage.
A.people are born the way they’ll always be
B.a person can try to change his/her personality
C.personality decides what a person looks like
D.blood type decides what a person will be like
小题3:From the last two paragraphs, we learn that         .
A.a shy person can’t make many friends
B.you can work hard to improve yourself
C.everyone can change him- or herself in life
D.there is no way to change your lifelong habits

Before you go to another country it is a great help if you know the language and some of the customs of the country.
When people meet each other for the first time in Britain, they say “How do you do?” and shake hands. Usually they do not shake hands when they just meet or say goodbye. But they shake hands after they haven’t met for a long time or when they will be away from each other for a long time.
Last year a group of German students went to England for a holiday. Their teacher told them that the English people hardly shake hands. So when they met their English friends at the station,
they kept their hands behind their backs. The English students had learned that the Germans shake hands as often as possible, so they put their hands in front and got ready to shake hands with them. It made both of them laugh.
