【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。故事发生在一个小镇,一个寒冷的夜晚,一位老太太开车时车胎爆了,一位年青人不要任何报酬地帮助了她,巧合地是在同一天晚上,老太太又帮助了他的怀孕多时的妻子。

1考查时态。由文章开头的One evening,可知,故事发生在过去,句中时态要用一般过去时。主语是It,第三人称单数,故填was

2考查形容词比较级。句中并列连词and 后跟的是形容词比较级colderand连接的部分要对称平行,所以其前面的词也要用形容词比较级,组成常用表达:比较级+and+比较级,表示“越来越……”。cold为单音节词,故填colder

3考查冠词。所填词修饰manman为可数名词,现为单数,第一次出现,要用不定冠词,man的首字母发音为辅音音素,故填a

4考查宾语从句。谓语动词asked后跟宾语从句,宾语从句表示疑问,要用ifwhether引导,故填ifwhether

5考查形容词。句中looked为系动词,后跟形容词作表语,并列连词and前为形容词 poor,所以其后词汇也应该为形容词,所以要填hunger的形容词形式,故填hungry

6考查名词复数。hour为可数名词,其前面有基数词two修饰,所以要用其复数形式,故填hours

7考查固定短语。句中was willing与动词不定式to组成短语:be willing to do乐意做某事,愿意做某事。故填to pay

8考查代词。句中surprise为名词,在介词短语中所填词作定语修饰surprise,所以要用其所有格,to one's surprise“令某人惊奇的”故填her

9考查固定短语。句中所填词与其后面的well组成固定短语:as well也,同样地。故填as

10考查形式主语。句中真正的主语是that引导的主语从句,所以所填词要作形式主语,只有代词it可以作形式主语,在句首,首字母大写,故填It

形容词或副词的比较级除了基本的用法外,其一些句型要注意积累。

1.在“which..., ...or...?”句型中,表示两者比较。如,Which is bigger, the sun or the moon?太阳和月亮,哪一个更大?

2. 比较级+and+比较级,表示“越来越……”。如, It's getting darker and darker.天越来越黑了。

He is getting more and more interested in sports.他对体育越来越感兴趣。

3. The more..., the more...,表示“越……,越……”。如,The more you eat, the more you want.

你越吃越想吃。

【题目】阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

We live in a technological society where most goods are mass-produced by unskilled labor. Because of this, most people think that craft (手艺) no longer exists. One of the ways these people wrongly support their view is by pointing to 100-year-old homes which are still solid, and arguing that it is the craftsmanship that is responsible for their durability (持久性). “Homes in those days were well-built,” they say. There is no doubt that these homes were well-built, but what these people have done is mix up the quality of material used in the house with the quality of the craftsmanship.

Homes today could be built to last just as long as those old homes if people were willing or able to pay the price. For example, more people can no longer afford solid oak stairways, although they were once fairly common in older homes. Nor can they afford the high labor cost of employing a carpenter to build the stairway. Yet if someone can pay the high cost, there are still plenty of carpenters around able to make those stairways. And not only would these carpenters know how to build them, they would probably do a better job than carpenters of old.

One thing the modern carpenter has which enables him to do a better job is much more advanced tools. Such tools as laser beams and power planes help them lay out a house better and make more precision cuts (精确切割) on the wood. Also, it is not uncommon any more to find carpenters with college degrees and carpenters with a solid knowledge of mathematics, which would enable them to deal with more difficult house designs.

The problem of modern quality, then, really boils down to the problem of material, for the modern carpenter is just as able to produce craftsmanship as the carpenter of fifty years ago, but only if given proper material.

【题目】 Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

It doesn’t seem that US singer Bob Dylan has much in common with literary mavens like Ernest Hemingway and T.S. Elliot. 1.This year’s prize makes Dylan the first American since Toni Morrison in 1993 to win the title. At the same time, the surprise announcement has also ignited a firestorm of discussion around the globe.

Influential US writer Jodi Picoult joked that she might now deserve a Grammy. And well-known British-Indian novelist Hari Kunzru lamented on social media by saying: “This feels like the lamest Nobel win since they gave it to Obama for not being Bush.”

Dylan’s new status — a musician awarded the Nobel Prize for literature–to a degree defies convention. However, this is by no means his first prize for his writing talents. Back in 2008, the Pulitzer Prize jury awarded Dylan a special citation “for his profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power”. 2.

3. Protest songs like Blowin in the Wind (1962) were the anthems of anti-war and civil rights movements in 1960s US. Densely poetic and image-rich songs such as Mr. Tambourine Man (1965) pushed the folk-rock movement. And even today, many of Dylan’s songs are still relevant and streamed regularly by people all over the world.

In a speech during the MusiCares pre-Grammy honors in 2015, Dylan revealed how he uses lyrics to document American culture and create an American songbook of his own. “I learned lyrics and how to write them from listening to folk songs,” said Dylan. “And I played them, and I met other people that played them, back when nobody was doing it.”

4. “From Orpheus to Faiz, song & poetry have been closely linked,” Salman Rushdie, the Indian-born novelist also thought to have been a candidate for the prize, told The New York Times. “Dylan is the brilliant inheritor of the bardic tradition,” Rushdie added. “Great choice.”

A. There is nothing more honorable to win praise from one’s competitors.

B. In this sense, it could be argued that what the Nobel Committee is doing is simply reinforcing Dylan’s unshakable standing in the world of literature.

C. Dylan’s competitors questioned his winning the Nobel Prize for literature.

D. But, last week, these three figures became forever bonded by the Nobel Prize for literature.

E. Therefore, the Nobel committee just holds a different opinion from that of Pulitzer Prize jury.

F. The words behind Dylan’s songs address social issues and have been transmitted from generation to generation.

【题目】 Scott Ward didn't have any risk factors that he knew of for cancer so he ignored the lump on his neck until he couldn't ignore it anymore. Dr. Donald Doll, the doctor who treated Ward for his cancer, said, “We’re seeing more and more younger and healthier patients. They're not smokers or drinkers. It's HPV-related.” “Normally, you think of HPV (乳头瘤病毒), you think of women,” Doll added, “while it's a misconception that only women have to be concerned with cancers caused by this virus.”

Luckily, there's a vaccine (疫苗) that's been around for more than a decade that can protect against the HPV virus. If all boys and girls received it, no one would get HPV-related cancers. The HPV vaccine is best when given to children between 9 and 12 years old, before they are sexually active. But teenagers and young adults can still benefit from the vaccine.

Not everyone who gets the HPV virus develops cancer. But it is a risk factor. The agency says about 14 million people in the U.S. alone become infected with HPV each year. Yet, about half of all U.S. adolescents have not been fully vaccinated against HPV, which requires a series of three shots. The CDC says the side effects are generally short term and not serious. They can include dizziness, headache, fever, pain and etc.

Ward’s recovery was difficult. But he’s now cancer-free. Ward wishes the HPV vaccine existed when he was a teen. He says if he had kids, he would get them vaccinated. “HPV-related cancers are cancers no one needs to get.” Ward said.

1Who should be worried about HPV-related cancers?

A.Only women.B.Everyone.

C.Younger people.D.Smokers and drinkers.

2Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A.The HPV vaccine is best when given to teenagers and young adults.

B.About 50% of all adults in America have not been fully vaccinated against HPV.

C.One gets cancer if he or she gets the HPV virus.

D.HPV vaccines have some side effects including dizziness, headache, and etc.

3Why did Ward say HPV-related cancers were cancers no one needed to get in the last paragraph?

A.It is easy to recover from HPV-related cancers.

B.HPV-related cancers are not that common.

C.HPV-related cancers can be prevented by vaccination.

D.HPV vaccine existed when he was a teen.

【题目】 A new study has found no evidence that sunscreen, commonly used to reduce the risk of skin caner, actually increases the risk.

Researchers from the University of Yale based their findings on a review of 18 earlier studies that looked at the association between sunscreen use and melanomas(黑素瘤). They said that they found flaws in studies that had reported associations between sunscreen use and higher risk of melanoma.

Most health experts believe that by protecting the skin from the harmful effects of the sun, sunscreen helps prevent skin cancer, which is increasing in incidence(发生率) faster than any other cancer in the United States.

But questions have been raised about sunscreen and whether it may have the opposite effect, perhaps by allowing people to remain exposed to the sun longer without burning.

The researchers said that among the problems with some earlier studies is that they often failed to take into account that those people most at risk for skin cancer—people with fair skin and freckles(雀斑), for example—are more likely to use sunscreen. As a result, it may appear that sunscreen users get cancer more often.

The studies, which generally relied on volunteers to recall their sunscreen use, were also unable to prove how well the products had been applied, said the new study.

1The underlined word “flaws” in the 2nd paragraph most probably means ________.

A.evidencesB.factsC.faultsD.failures

2People with fair skin and freckles ________.

A.seldom use sunscreenB.are more in danger of skin cancerC.can be free from the harm of the sun D.often expose themselves to the sun

3We can learn from the passage that ________.

A.sunscreen users get skin cancer more often

B.the volunteers have proved the effect of sunscreen

C.the new study was based on the experiences of volunteers

D.the number of skin cancer patients is increasing in America

4Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?

A.Sunscreen to Prevent Skin Cancer

B.Sunscreen to Increase Skin Cancer

C.Skin Cancer Caused by Sunscreen

D.Skin Cancer Caused by Freckles
