【解析】

这篇文章讲述的是作者去年去了笔友James的家里拜访,作者非常羡慕James有一个大家庭,有姐姐和弟弟的陪伴。而且作者发现英国人和中国人的生活习惯是很不一样的。

1句意:我给James写信已经快三年了,但这是我第一次有机会拜访他的家。

考查序数词辨析及语境。first第一;second第二;third第三;fourth第四。根据文意和句中的but表示转折可知,James通信的时间很长了,但去他的家还是第一次。故选A

2句意:他的家庭比大多数中国人的家庭都要更大。

考查形容词比较级辨析及语境。wider更宽的;smaller更小的;bigger更大的;newer更新的。根据下文 “James has an elder sister____3____Alice, and a younger brother, Luke.”以及最后一段 “James said I was lucky to be an____14____child because I could watch anything I wanted”可知,James有姐姐和弟弟,而作者没有,因此James的家庭比一般中国人的家庭更大。故选C

3句意:James有一个姐姐叫Alice,还有一个弟弟叫Luke

考查动词辨析及语境。phoned打电话;called称呼;叫作;shouted大喊;wanted想要。根据句意和空后的Alice可知,这里介绍James的姐姐叫什么,故用called,作后置定语。故选B

4句意:每个人都有自己的卧室,但我去的时候,他们大部分时间都在客厅里,看电视,和我聊天。

考查连词辨析及语境。before……之前;if如果,是否;when ……时候;though尽管。根据句意可知,James的家的时候,他的家人都陪我在客厅里。故选C

5句意:每个人都有自己的卧室,但我去的时候,他们大部分时间都在客厅里,看电视,和我聊天。

考查动词辨析及语境。talking谈话;dealing处理;studying学习;walking散步。根据上文 “but it was the____1____time I had had a chance to visit his home.”以及这句话中in the living room可知,James家拜访,他的家人陪在客厅聊天。故选A

6句意:这两个行为都让我感到很吃惊。

考查不定代词辨析及语境。All三者或以上都;Neither两者都不;Both两者都;Each每一个。根据语境 “they spent most of the time in the living room, watching TV and____5____with me. Sometimes Alice made long phone calls to her friends as well”可知,这里指的是看很多电视以及打很长时间的电话这两个活动都让我很吃惊,因为下文提到 “In China, my parents do not____7____me watch a lot of TV or make long phone calls.”在中国这两种行为都是不行的。故选C

7句意:在中国,我的父母不让我看很多电视或打很长的电话。

考查动词辨析及语境。let让;allow允许;tell告诉;advise建议。空后…me watch…是用动词原形作宾语,let的句型是let sb. do sth.“让某人做某事,语法合适。其他三个选项都应跟带to的动词不定式作宾补,故选A

8句意:有时候这三个孩子需要分担家里的一些工作。

考查动词辨析及语境。find发现,找到;plan计划;lose失去,丢失;share分享,分担。根据下文 “Alice would wash the dishes and____9____the bathroom. James and Luke would usually work together to wash the floors in____10____living room and iron some clothes.”可知,James和姐姐、弟弟都要分担家里的工作。故选D

9句意:Alice会洗碗和打扫浴室。

考查动词辨析及语境。build修建;clean打扫;break打破;use使用。根据上文 “Sometimes the three children had to____8____some jobs around the house.”可知,这里说的是家里的工作,因此应该是打扫浴室,故选B

10句意:JamesLuke经常一起打扫客厅的地板,熨衣服。

考查冠词辨析及语境。aan都是不定冠词,修饰名词单数,表示泛指一个……an用于元音音素前;the定冠词,修饰名词表示特指。根据文意可知,这里特指James家的客厅,应用the。故选C

11句意:如果他们都做得好,他们的父母会给他们一些零花钱。

考查形容词性物主代词辨析及语境。his他的;your你的,你们的;her她的;their他们的。根据文意可知,这里指的是James以及他的姐姐和弟弟,应用他们的。故选D

12句意:James和他的兄弟大部分时间相处得很好,但有时他们会争论看哪个频道的电视。

考查副词辨析及语境。well好;badly差地,糟糕地;hard努力地;deeply深深地。根据句意 “but sometimes they argued(争论)about____13____channel(频道)to watch on TV.”可知,but表示转折,该空应表示与后面相反的意思,所以大部分时间他们相处得很好,故选A

13句意:James和他的兄弟大部分时间相处得很好,但有时他们会争论看哪个频道的电视。

考查连词辨析及语境。where在哪里;when什么时候;whose谁的;which“哪一个。根据句意可知,这里表示James和弟弟争论看哪一个频道。故选D

14句意:James说我是个幸运的孩子,因为我可以看任何我想看的东西。

考查形容词辨析及语境。just公正的,合理的;only唯一的;honest诚实的;brave勇敢的。根据这句话的意思以及下文 “Besides, I would love to have a brother or sister to talk to.”可知,是独生子,没有兄弟姐妹,所以这里表示家里唯一的孩子。故选B

15句意:我不同意James的话,因为在中国,我们不被允许看太多电视。

考查动词短语辨析及语境。agree with同意;join in参加;take in吸收,领会;depend on依靠,取决于。根据句意可知,并不同意James上面说的话。故选A

这是一篇记叙文,短文讲述了去笔友James家拜访的经历。短文叙述清晰,文章内容贴近学生们的日常生活,比较容易理解。题型是完形填空,考查学生们在具体语境中运用语言的能力,综合性较强。做题时,应先通读短文,了解文章大意;然后根据上下文语境做题,先易后难,注意空前后的固定搭配,并仔细辨析选项中单词的意思和用法;最后将答案代入原文,再读一遍,检查答案是否正确。例如第2小题,考查形容词比较级辨析及语境。wider更宽的;smaller更小的;bigger更大的;newer更新的。根据下文 “James has an elder sister____3____Alice, and a younger brother, Luke.”以及最后一段 “James said I was lucky to be an____14____child because I could watch anything I wanted”可知,James有姐姐和弟弟,而作者没有,因此James的家庭比一般中国人的家庭更大。故选C。再如第8小题,考查动词辨析及语境。find发现,找到;plan计划;lose失去,丢失;share分享,分担。根据下文 “Alice would wash the dishes and____9____the bathroom. James and Luke would usually work together to wash the floors in____10____living room and iron some clothes.”可知,James和姐姐、弟弟都要分担家里的工作。故选D

【题目】 It is late at night. People in Cape Town,South Africa,line up to collect water from a spring. One by one,they fill their plastic bottles. Each person can take up to 13 gallons(加仑). Policemen stand by to keep the rules. In a few months,that number will be cut in half.

Cape Town is a city of four million people. It is running out of water. For three years,the city has faced a drought(干旱). It is the worst in a century. Local reservoirs(水库)are mostly sand and dried earth. Officers are telling people to save water.A_______, the city will one day be forced to cut off the supply to homes and businesses. That day is being called Day Zero. At press time,Day Zero was expected to be June 4.B_______ the date may change based on water levels in local reservoirs.

"There are a lot of people who have not realized the problem." said Shirley Curry. She waited at a spring to get her share of water. "Now they suddenly realize this is for real."

On Day Zero, each person's daily water supply will drop to about 6.5 gallons. (The average American uses 80 to 100 gallons of water per day.) Lines at the city's 200 water collection points will probably get even longer.

Some places will not be included in the cutoff. The water will keep running in hospitals and schools. It will stay on in poor areas, too. This is to prevent illness. Areas popular with tourists may also have water. More than 10 million people visit Cape Town each year. Tourism provides nearly 10% of South Africa's economy.

Across the city,people are making an effort to save water. They are taking 90-second showers. They are washing their clothes less often. Using tap water to wash cars or fill swimming pools is not allowed. Those caught using too much water are punished.

For some people,rationing(定量供应)now feels normal. Kelson da Cruz keeps one container of water near the shower. Another he uses for brushing his teeth and washing his face. He uses non-drinking water to flush(冲洗)the toilet.

1AB空白处各填入一个合适的单词或短语。A______________B_______________

2将画线句子翻译成汉语。___________________________________________________________________

3"This" 指代:_____________________________________________________________________________

4How much water will each person in Cape Town get in a few months?_______________________________
