    【题目】阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

    As I tried describing Thanksgiving Day to my in-laws (姻亲） in China, I could already see their eyes cloud over with 【1】 (confuse) and sense the questions arising in their minds. So I attempted 【2】 (translate) the holiday through things they were familiar with. I described the roast turkey as something similar 【3】 Beijing duck. I compared the annual Thanksgiving show to the 【4】 (year) Spring Festival Gala (联欢会) on Chinese New Year’s Eve. And I characterized 【5】 entire celebration as an American version of Winter Solstice (冬至) in China. Yet as much as my in-laws 【6】 (nod) and smiled, I recognized that even these explanations were a poor substitute. No words could fully describe the Thanksgiving celebrations :I had known in the US.

    This 【7】 (be) the kind of disappointment you face in cross-cultural communication. Despite all the differences, we can still sit down together and have heart-to-heart 【8】(discussion) about each other’s traditions. So in the spirit of my American holiday, I silently gave a moment of thanks for 【9】 (have) in China such great in-laws, 【10】 cared enough to listen to their foreign daughter-in-law talk about Thanksgiving Day.

    【答案】

    【1】confusion

    【2】to translate

    【3】to

    【4】yearly

    【5】the

    【6】nodded

    【7】is

    【8】discussions

    【9】having

    【10】who

    【解析】

    这是一篇记叙文。记叙了作者为自己的公婆解释美国的感恩节的故事。

    【1】考查名词。句意：当我试着向我在中国的公公婆婆描述感恩节时，我已经能看到他们困惑的眼神，感觉到他们脑海中浮现的问题。介词with后应跟名词形式，故填confusion。

    【2】考查固定短语。句意：所以我试图通过他们熟悉的东西来诠释这个节日。短语attempt to do sth.“试图做某事”，故填to translate。

    【3】考查固定短语。句意：我说烤火鸡有点像北京烤鸭。短语be similar to“与……相似”，故填to。

    【4】考查形容词。句意：我把一年一度的感恩节表演和除夕的春节联欢晚会做了比较。修饰名词短语Spring Festival Gala应用形容词，故填yearly。

    【5】考查冠词。句意：我把整个庆祝活动描述成中国的美国版冬至。此处特指“整个庆祝活动”应用定冠词，故填the。

    【6】考查动词时态。句意：然而，尽管我的姻亲们点头微笑，我还是意识到，即使是这些解释，也只是一个可怜的替代品。根据下文并列谓语and smiled可知应用一般过去时，故填nodded。

    【7】考查主谓一致和时态。句意：这就是你在跨文化交流中所面临的失望。陈述客观事实用一般现在时，且主语this谓语动词用单数。故填is。

    【8】考查名词的数。句意：尽管存在种种分歧，我们仍然可以坐在一起，坦诚地讨论彼此的传统。discussion为可数名词，且前面没有冠词，故用复数形式，填discussions。

    【9】考查非谓语动词。句意：因此，本着我的美国假期精神，我默默地感谢中国有这么伟大的公婆，他们非常关心听他们的外国儿媳谈论感恩节。for为介词后跟动名词做宾语，故填having。

    【10】考查定语从句连接词。句意同上。本句为定语从句修饰先行词in-laws，且先行词在从句中做主语，指人，故填关系代词who。

    定语从句的关系词的选择可考虑以下三点：

    (1)一看先行词的意义，即分清先行词是指人、指物、时间、地点还是原因(如指物时不能用who或whom，指人时通常不用which等)

    (2)二看关系词的句法功能，即分清关系词是担任什么句子成分，是作主语还是宾语、是作定语还是状语等(如作定语通常用whose，有时也用which；作状语要用when, where, why)

    (3)三看定语从句的种类，即分清是限制性定语从句还是非限制性定语从句(如that和why通常不引导非限制性定语从句)

    如第十小题，本句为定语从句修饰先行词in-laws，且先行词在从句中做主语，指人，故填关系代词who。

    【题目】 The seabird population on a small British island off the coast Devon and South Wales has increased quickly following the removal of rats.

    There has been a growth in the numbers of Manx shearwater, puffins and guillemots on Lundy Island 15 years after a conservation project to remove its rats ended. The project was launched ‘in 2003 by the Landmark Trust, the National Trust and The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds ((RSPB)) ), and aimed to kill the rats because they were the biggest threat to the survival of the birds. A cull (选择性宰杀)costing 50,000 pounds was used to get rid of 40,000 rats on the island when puffin numbers fell to fewer than 10 pairs.

    Helen Booker, senior conservation officer for RSPB in south-west England, said the organization is delighted with the results. This study clearly shows how quickly and positively seabirds respond to the removal of non-native predators (捕猎者)，" she said. "Of course, we had expected major population increases when the project was launched, but the scale of this recovery has far beyond our expectations. "

    Dean Jones, the inspector on Lundy, which is managed by the Landmark Trust, said the recovery of the seabirds was a positive, but that it is important to remain cautious."It is exciting to see this level of recovery in Manx shearwaters, one of our most important seabirds. In spring the island comes alive at night with the sound of these amazing birds. The increases in puffins, guillemots and razorbills are also very encouraging for the future of seabirds on Lundy and we are maintaining our attention to ensure rats cannot return to the island. "

    A recent study found that nearly 10 percent of endangered bird, mammal, amphibian and reptile species could be saved by culling invasive (入侵的)mammals such as cats and rats on 169 islands. But rat removal programs have been controversial with some animal rights activists, who have argued that the black rat is one of the country’s most endangered mammals.

    【1】Why did British carry out the project to remove rats?

    A. To kill invasive species.B. To save seabirds in danger.

    C. To keep balance in nature.D. To decrease the rat’s number.

    【2】What can we infer about the rat removal project?

    A. It is favored by animal rights groups.

    B. It started when guillemot is nearly dying out.

    C. It has protected 10% of species on UK’s 169 islands.

    D. It contributes to more increases in seabirds than expected.

    【3】What will be done next according to Dean Jones?

    A. Plan the future of seabirds.B. Speed up the recovery of seabirds.

    C. Keep a careful watch for rats.D. Continue to drive away rats and cats.

    【4】Where is the text most likely from?

    A. A news report.B. A research paper.

    C. A biology textbook.D. A medical magazine.

    【题目】My grandfather came from Hungary and was the only one in his family who settled down in the United States. The rest of his family remained in Europe. When World War I broke out, he seemed to have become another man, downhearted. Such obvious change was not born out of concern for his welfare, but out of fear: if his only son, my uncle, had to go to war, it would be cousin fighting against cousin.

    One day in 1918, my Uncle Milton received his draft notice. My grandparents were very upset. But my mother, at the age of 10, felt on top of the world about her soldier brother going off of war. Realizing how he was regarded by his little sister and all of her friends, my uncle bought them all service pins, which meant that they had a loved one in the service. All the little girls were delighted.

    The moment came when my uncle and the other soldiers, without any training but all in uniforms, boarded the train. “The band played and the crowd cheered. Although no one noticed, I’m sure my grandmother had a tear in her eye for the only son. The train slowly pulled out, but not about a thousand yards when it suddenly paused. Everyone stared in wonder as the train slowly returned to the station. There was a dead silence before the doors opened and the men started to step out. Someone shouted, “The war is over!”For a moment, nobody moved, but then the people heard someone bark orders at the soldiers. The men lined up in two lines, walked down the steps, and with the band playing, marched down the street, as returning heroes, to be welcomed home. My mother said it was a great day, but she was just a little disappointed that it didn’t last a tiny bit longer.

    【1】What the grandfather was most worried about was .

    A. the spread of the world war

    B. the safety of his two cousins

    C. a drop in his living standards

    D. his relatives killing each other

    【2】The underlined phrase “draft notice” means “ ”.

    A. order for army service

    B. train ticket for Europe

    C. letter of rejection

    D. note of warning

    【3】Which of the following words can best describe the ending of the story?

    A. Disappointing.

    B. Unexpected.

    C. Uncertain.

    D. Inspiring.

    【题目】阅读下面的短文和问题，根据短文内容，在相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。答语要意思清楚，结构正确，书写工整。

    When you’re sitting at your computer, do you work all day without a break? Or do you allow yourself to become distracted (分心）now and again ... to open a few extra tabs， check social media， read a bit of news， keep up with the latest fashion trends， and maybe catch up on some celebrity gossip.

    Stop! You’re ‘cyberloafing’. This word is a combination of ‘ cyber’, which means ‘related to computers’, and ‘loafing’, which means ‘ relaxing in a lazy way ’ . We do it， and we do it a lot. A study from the University of Texas suggests we are guilty of this form of procrastination (拖延）for 14% of our working day. On a Friday afternoon， I expect it’s more than that.

    I’ll admit to losing myself in cyberloafing. In fact， I’ve already done it in the course of writing this story. Okay， more than once. It can damage your productivity and even your career because according to the University of Texas research， each time a worker gets distracted by the Internet， it takes an average of 23 minutes to get back to work.

    More than that， cyberloafing has a dark side， according to a report published in The Journal of Psychosocial Research on Cyberspace. It argues that cyberloafing is connected to several negative personality qualities. People who cyberloaf are more likely to be selfish and tricky.

    Why do we do it? For some， it’s most likely an escape from what they’re supposed to be doing. Others might get a feeling of satisfaction from finding a great deal online.

    When you have the whole world of the Internet at your fingertips， it’s hard to resist.

    How do we solve this problem? If you can truly ask yourself why you are cyberloafing,then that can help identify the base problem. And if that sounds like too much hard work,you could just switch off the Internet for a couple of hours!

    So,in the meantime,let me just close those extra tabs.

    【1】How is the word "cyberloafing" formed?（不多于8个单词）

    【2】What can cyberloafing damage?（不多于6个单词）

    【3】Why do people do "cyberloafing"?（不多于13个单词）
