解析试题分析:本文讲述了盐在古代的用途,以及在古代如果偷盐会受到怎样的惩罚,并且在古代通过盐也能看出尊卑来。
【小题1】根据题干,本句的意思“我们不知道人类什么时候开始用盐”,“什么时候”是when。所以本题选A。
【小题2】throughout是“贯穿”,though和although是“尽管”,thought是“思想”,根据题意,本句的意思是“但是我们知道在整个历史中盐有许多不同的用途。”所以本题选A。
【小题3】根据题干,此处应该是“据记载”的意思,而“据记载”是It’s recorded。所以本题选C。
【小题4】根据three thousands years ago可知,本句应是过去时,故用ate。所以本题选B。
【小题5】根据题干,本句的意思是“盐被用来保存尸体。”“被用来做某事”是be used to do。所以本题选B。
【小题6】keep……from是“阻止某人或某物做某事”,是固定用法。所以本题选B。
【小题7】根据前面的was可知,后面应该用过去分词表示被动语态,只有thought。所以本题选D。
【小题8】通过阅读下文可知,此处应该是违反法律。故用law。所以本题选A。
【小题9】根据if a person was caught stealing salt可知,对待罪犯的方式是将他投入监狱。故用prison。所以本题选C。
【小题10】根据题干,本句的意思是“一万多人因为偷盐被投入监狱。”“因为”是because或because of;根据stealing salt可知,应该用because of。所以本题选B。
【小题11】根据题干,应该是带更多的盐会被惩罚。故用more。所以本题选A。
【小题12】根据题干,本句的意思是“将被严重惩罚”,本空是修饰“惩罚”一词,故用副词。所以本题选D。
【小题13】本句的意思是“过去盐在国王的餐桌上是很重要的。”故用important。所以本题选A。
【小题14】根据题干,“它总是被放在国王的前面”。In the front of是在物体本身上的前部,in front of是“在物体前面”不附属在物体上,而before一般表示时间之前。故用in front of。所以本题选C。
【小题15】根据前句important visitors sat near the salt和后句less important visitors可知,两者之间是转折的关系,故用while“而,却”。所以本题选D。
考点:本题考查故事类阅读
点评:阅读本文时,首先应该明白盐的重要性,才会理解为什么在古代对盐会有这样的规定。在完成本题是,应充分阅读文章,充分体会作者的意图。要结合生活中的常识,进行选词,并且应该注意区分一些词的用法和英语中的固定搭配等。

Someone says, “Time is money.” But I think time is    31   important than money. Why? Because when money is spent, we can get back. However(然而), when time is    32   , it’ll never    33  . That is    34   we mustn’t waste(浪费)time.

Why do we come to school? Most of us may say we come to school to study. But to study needs a right way, or you either waste the time or the money. The following are the ways for studying.
The best time for reading is morning. In the morning the air is fresh and the mind is clear. For that reason we can get good results.
In studying we must have patience(耐心). If we have not known a text well, we must read it again. We should not read the next one until we have learned the first one well.
When we are studying, we must put our hearts into the books, or we can get nothing from the books while we are reading.
We must always ask “whys”. If it is not well understood, write it down and ask our teachers or our parents, brothers or friends. In any possible way, we must know it completely and what we have learned can be used well and made better.
Though there are many ways for studying, yet what I have said above will be enough if we can keep them in heart and do so.
