9.The Black Country is about 10miles from Birmingham.It's made up of four districts:Dudley,Walsall,Sandwell,and Wolvehampton.
Historically,it was famous for industry,which explains (16)whythe area is called the Black Country.It got its name during the industrial revolution,(17)when factory pollution turned the local skies black and coal dust from the mines made the soil the same color.Dudley,which is (18)probably(probable) the heart of the Black Country,has a history (19)dating ( date) back over 1,000years,and its famous castle has been there (20)sinceabout the 8th century.
People from Black Country are very friendly. (21)Buttheir local dialect,which comes from the old"Middle English",can be very difficult to understand.I still remember taking (22)a visiting friend from Canada to a local Black Country pub for lunch. (23)Beforethe waitress could even finish describing the menu,my friend looked at me with his eyebrows (24)raised(raise).When I asked what he wanted to order,he just shook his head in disbelief and asked if the waitress whom I (25)had been speaking/was speaking/had spoken/spoke(speak) to just now was naturally speaking English.

分析 本文主要介绍黑区的组成部分,名称的由来以及难以听懂的语言.

解答 16.why  考查副词.此处表示该地区被称之为"黑区"这个名词的由来,表原因;explain后面为一个宾语从句,所以由why来引导;故答案为why.
17.when   考查关系副词.先行词theindustrialrevolution在定语从句中充当时间状语,故用关系副词引导非限制性定语从句.故答案为when
18.probably  考查句子的构成成分.此处应用副词形式probably.故答案为probably
19.dating  考查非谓语动词.动词date和逻辑主语ahistory之间为主谓关系,所以用dating作定语.故答案为dating
20.since  考查介词.根据and后的句意"自从约8世纪以来,著名的城堡就一直在那里了",以及主句中的谓语动词是现在完成时可知,应填since.
21.But  考查连词.第三段第一句话提到人们很友好,紧接着提到他们来自古英语的方言很难懂,由此可知,这两句话之间是转折关系,故用but.
22.a   考查冠词.remember doing sth.意为"记得曾经做过的事".句意:我仍然记得曾经来访的一个朋友….此处强调一个;故答案为a.
23.Before    考查连词.引导一个时间状语从句,表示在服务员报完菜单之前的状况,所以用连词before引导.故答案为Before.  
24.raised   考查非谓语动词.with的宾语hiseyebrows和raise之间是动宾关系,由此可知使用raised.
25.had been speaking/was speaking/had spoken/spoke   考查动词的时态.本句的时态较灵活,根据本句主从句的谓语动词的动作关系或时间状语可知可以使用过去时的各种相应时态.故答案为had been speaking/was speaking/had spoken/spoke.

点评 做阅读填空题时,要在理解文章整体的基础上,补全所缺的部分.针对这个特点,解答时要注意语境和上下文的联系,同时还要注意文章的写作方法和结构.

17.Culture shock is so named because of the effect it has on people when they enter a new culture.Experts have been interested in these effects and have agreed on five basic stages of culture shock.These stages are general and should only be used as a reference.Not every individual will go through each stage,and one stage may last longer than another for different individuals.
The hardest thing for most travelers to deal with is the emotional"roller coaster"they seem to be riding.One moment they feel very positive toward the new culture,and the next moment very negative.It seems common that international visitors and immigrants vacillate(犹豫不定)between loving and hating a new country.Feelings of separation and alienation can be intensified if they do not have a sense of fitting in or belonging.
Fatigue is another problem people face when entering a new culture.There can be a sense of greater need for sleep.This is due not only to physical tiredness,but also to mental fatigue.This mental fatigue comes from straining to comprehend the language,and coping with new situation.
The impact of culture shock can vary from person to person.There can be significant differences because some people may be better prepared to enter a new culture.Four factors which play into these are personality,language ability,length of stay,and the emotional support received.
It is logical to think that when people are deprived of heir familiar surroundings they will feel disoriented.One solution some have found is to bring a few small reminders of home.Pictures,wall hangings,favorite utensils,and keepsake are all good candidates to make things feel more familiar.Another helpful activity is to establish little routines that become familiar over time.Even better is fitting things that were part of the regular routine back in the home country into the routine established in the new culture.This will make people feel more at home.
(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)

81.According to the 1st paragraph,what have experts been interested in?Culture shock's effects on people.
82.What are the two problems people face when entering a new culture?Emotional"roller coaster"and fatigue.
83.Coping with new situations may result inmental fatigue.
84.The author thinks the more effective way to solve"cultural shock"isfitting some past regular routine into the new culture.

4.
[1]E-mail may be the most important,unique method for communicating and developing relationships since the telephone.First of all,     .Anyone who can use a word processor can also write an e-mail message without difficulty.Secondly,it saves time and money.It costs nothing more than your time.No paper expense,no postage,no envelope expense.People find it familiar and safe because it is similar in many aspects to writing letters-but minus the annoyances of addressing envelopes,licking stamps and trips to the mail box.
[2]Of all the methods for developing relationships on the Internet,e-mail is the most common-and perhaps the most powerful.Although friendship may indeed begin in chat rooms,instant messages,blogs or other environments,these relationships almost always expand into e-mail as a way to deepen the communication.It is a more private,more reliable,less messy way to talk.Even when other online tools improve greatly by becoming more effectively visual and auditory(听觉的)-as in video tele-conferencing-e-mail will not disappear.Many people will prefer it because it is a non-visual and non-auditory form of communication.After all,we don't see people rushing out to buy video equipment to add it to their telephone,even though that technology has been available for some time.
[3]E-mail is not just an electronic mail sent via the Internet.It creates a psychological space in which pairs of people-or groups of people-communicate with each other.It creates a situation and boundary in which human relationships can unfold.

76.What is the main idea of the text?(within 10words)
E-mail is an important,unique method for communicating and developing relationships
77.Which sentence in the text can be replaced by the following one?
People like e-mail better because it enables them to communicate even without seeing or listening to each other.
Many people will prefer it because it is a non-visual and non-auditory form of communication.
78.Please fill in the blank in Paragraph 1with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence.(within 8words)
it is easy to use
79.Please list three other ways of communication.(within 15words)

14.[1]Every language has its own special words and expressions.And a story can be told  about each of them.Hot is a simple,easily understood word.So are most of the expressions  made with the word hot.But not always,as we shall see.
[2]The words hot potato,for example,give you no idea at all to the meaning of the expres. sion,hot potato.The potato is popular and many Americans like baked potatoes.Imagine trying  to carry a hot potato in your hand.It would be difficult,even painful,to do SO.Some publicly argued  problems are highly emotional.The problems must be treated carefully,or they will be difficult and  painful if an elected official has to deal with them.One such hot potato is    taxes.Calling for higher  taxes can mean defeat for a politician.And yet,if taxes are not raised,some very popular governmentprog    rams could be cut.And that also Can make a politician very unpopular.The questions must be dealt with carefully,the same way you would handle any other hot potato.   
[3]Another expression is not SO hot.If you ask someone how she feels,she may answer"not so hot."What she means is she does not feel well.Not so hot also is a way of saying you do not really like something.You may tell a friend that the new play you saw last night is not so hot.That means   
[4]A hot shot is a person,often a young person,who thinks he can do anything.He is verysure he can succeed.But often he fails.The expression was born in the military forces.A hotshot was a soldier who fired without aiming carefully.  
[5]Hot is a word that is often used to talk about anger.A person who becomes angry easily is called a hothead.An angry person'S neck often becomes red.We say he is hot under the collar.

77.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with a proper sentence.(within 8 words)you don't consider it a success.
78.Which sentence in the text i s the closest in meaning to the following one?
  As you would deal with other dicult problems,you must be careful with these ones.The questions must be dealt with carefully,the same way you would handle any other hot potato.
79.List three situations where"hot"expressions can be used according to the text.(within 30  words)
  ①when you mean something difficult and painful to handle.

1.Could your cellphone give you cancer?Whether it could or not,some people are worrying about the possibility that phones,powerlines and wi-fi (路由器) could be responsible for a range of illnesses,from rashes to brain tumours.
For example,Camilla Rees,48,a former investment banker in the US,moved out of her apartment in San Francisco because of the radiation coming from next door.Rees told the Los Angeles Times that when her neighbors moved in and installed a wi-fi router she lost her ability to think clearly."I would wake up dizzy in the morning.I'd fall to the floor.I had to leave to escape that nightmare,"she said.Since then,she's been on a campaign against low-level electromagnetic fields,or EMFs(低频电磁场).
And she's not alone.Millions of people say they suffer from headaches,depression,nausea and rashes when they're too close to cellphones or other sources of EMFs.
Although the World Health Organization has officially declared that EMFs seem to pose little threat,governments are still concerned.In fact,last April,the European Parliament called for countries to take steps to reduce exposure to EMFs.The city of San Francisco and the state of Maine are currently considering requiring cancer-warning labels on cellphones.
If these fears are reasonable,then perhaps we should all be worried about the amount of time we spend talking on our phones or plugging into wi-fi hotpots.
Some say there is evidence to support the growing anxieties.David Carpenter,a professor of environmental health sciences at the University at Albany,in New York,thinks there's a greater than 95% chance that power lines can cause childhood leukemia.Also there's a greater than 90% chance that cellphones can cause brain tumours.
But others believe these concerns are unreasonable paranoia (猜疑).Dr Martha Linet,the head of radiation epidemiology at the US National Cancer Institute,has looked at the same research as Carpenter but has reached a different conclusion."I don't support warning labels for cellphones,"said Linet."We don't have the evidence that there's much danger."
Studies so far suggest a weak connection between EMFs and illness-so weak that it might not exist at all.A multinational investigation of cellphones and brain cancer,in 13countries outside the US,has been underway for several years.It's funded in part by the European Union,in part by a cellphone industry group.
According to Robert Park,a professor of physics at the University of Maryland in the US,the magnetic waves aren't nearly powerful enough to break apart DNA,which is how known threats,such as UV rays and X-rays,cause cancer.
Perhaps it's just psychological.Some experts find that the electro-sensitivity syndrome seems to be similar to chemical sensitivity syndrome,which is a condition that's considered to be psychological.
Whether EMFs are harmful or not,a break in the countryside,without the cellphone,would probably be good for all of us.
