【题目】There are many benefits of singing in a choir. They range 【1】the social: having the opportunity 【2】(make)new friends, to the physical benefits of learning to breathe 【3】(proper). Research has also shown that young people 【4】sing in choirs do better in their studies and have【5】tendency to be healthier.
But the first question you should ask【6】(you)if you are considering joining a choir is “can you sing in tune?” It might seem obvious, but 【7】you can, there is little point in seeking out a choir because you’ll only get rejected. Every choir you apply to join is going to audition(面试)you. Don’t worry if you can’t read music; that can be taught later. If you 【8】(accept), you’ll find choir practice to be hard work, but great fun, because they’re social events as much as music training. You will learn to read music and how to sing with confidence. Your voice and technique will develop, probably quite quickly with proper 【9】(instruct), and you may just end up【10】(wonder)why you didn’t do this years ago.
【答案】
【1】from
【2】to make
【3】properly
【4】who/that
【5】a
【6】yourself
【7】unless
【8】are accepted
【9】instruction
【10】wondering
【解析】文章介绍参加大合唱的优点。
考查学生对词汇,基本语法和对句意的掌握。
【1】本题考查结构range from…to范围从…到…。故用from。
【2】考查非谓语动词。这里说的是参加大合唱的社会优点,有机会结交新朋友。have opportunity to do 有机会做。故用to make。
【3】考查副词。这里需要用副词修饰动词breathe,故用properly。
【4】考查定语从句。句意:研究也显示,参与合唱的年轻人在学习方面表现更好。根据句意和句子结构可知,这里构造了定语从句,用关系代词指代young people,在定语从句中做主语,故用who/that。
【5】考查冠词。句意:研究也显示,参与合唱的年轻人在学习方面表现更好,也更可能健康。have a tendency to do有做某事的倾向。故这里用冠词a。
【6】考查反身代词。句意:如果你考虑加入合唱,那么你应该问自己的第一个问题是:“你会唱歌吗?” 。根据句意可知这里用反身代词yourself。
【7】考查连词。句意:这似乎很明显,但是除非你会唱歌,否则寻找合唱团是没有用的,因为你只会被拒绝。根据句意可知这里用unless。
【8】考查时态和语态。句意:如果你被接收了,你会发现合唱练习很辛苦,但是也很有趣,因为他们和音乐训练一样都是社交活动。根据上下文和句意可知用一般现在时的被动语态,故用are accepted。
【9】句意:你的声音和技巧会进步,有可能在合适的指导下进步飞快。介词with后用名词形式,故用instruction。
【10】考查非谓语动词。句意:你可能最后会想为什么多年以前没有这么做了。end up doing结果是(做)…, 以(做)…而告终,结果变成…。故用wondering。

【题目】A new concept vehicle, Pod was introduced by Toyota and Sony at the Tokyo motor show. The car is intended as a four-wheeled friend. It aims to provide affection, sympathy and encouragement. Like a dog welcoming its master, the car sits up, wags its tail and acknowledges its owner’s presence using hydraulics(液压装置) and a multi-colored LED display panel(引擎) across the front.
While on the road, the car constantly monitors the driver’s mood with pulse and sweat sensors on the joystick(操纵杆). Cameras focused on the eyes keep watch for any sigh of drowsiness. If a driver appears to be losing his or her cool, Pod will display warnings, play soft music and blow cold air at the face. Drivers are shaken awake with loud music and a shaking chair.
To improve driving skills, pod compares acceleration, braking and steering with the best performance recorded by professionals. It uses this comparison to score drivers, offer advice and rank all Pod owners. Toyota claims that the car will eventually be able to learn its owner’s likes and dislikes by monitoring passenger conversations. If the car hears a favorite song being discussed, it will download the track from the Internet and play it without being asked. It will also recommend restaurants that might suit the driver’s taste and take photographs of passengers when they sound particularly happy.
In keep with the moodiness that is the car’s main selling point, Pod expresses a form of road anger. If a driver brakes or swerves(转向) suddenly, the LED panel shows an angry red and the tail rises at the back.
Anger is one of the car’s ten “emotional states”. Another is sadness --- a blue front with tear-shaped lights seemingly dropping from headlights --- which appears after a flat tire or when gas is low.
“We wanted to show that the cars can be cheerful and entertaining,” said Yasunori Sakamoto, part of the Toyota design team. Mr Sakamoto said Toyota has no plans to put Pod on the market. Sad, really.
【1】The underlined word “drowsiness” in Paragraph 2 means _________.
A. fear B. boredom
C. excitement D. sleepiness
【2】According to the text, Pod can ___________.
A. rank the restaurant nearby B. test the driver’s driving skills
C. have a conversation with drivers D. recommend a song to passenger
【3】If the new concept vehicle is running out of gas, __________.
A. the Led panel turns red
B. the tail rises at the back of the car
C. the front light turn blue and look like tears
D. the car stops and shake with loud music
【4】What is the author’s attitude towards Pod?
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful.
C. Pessimistic. D. Tolerant.

In the village where I grew up, everyone knew an old man, who lived a simply life and spent all his time painting. The villagers used to admiring his works and he often gave his paintings to his friends. Whenever he was offered money, he would not take them. He said he painted for a pleasure. He once gave one of his paintings to my father, whom actually wasn’t interested in art. Years later I found it in our old house. By that time the old man has died and people started to recognize his paintings as great works of art, which was worth lots of money. An art gallery made me an offer of $5,000 for this painting and I nearly sold it, so then I decided not to. It always reminds me my childhood and of the old man who didn’t really want to make money by paint.
