试题分析:这篇短文讲述的是Johnson先生一家人靠着农场里的奶牛维持生活,但是一次意外奶牛死了,Johnson先生不得不想其他办法继续生活。他一边种药草和蔬菜,一边砍树去集上卖木头。上帝在给他关上一扇门的时候,又给他打开了一扇门。

【1】a 句意:他拥有一个农场,这个农场看起来都快废弃了。a是不定冠词,表示泛指一个…,修饰可数名词单数。根据文意可知,Johnson先生和家人住在树林里,他拥有一个农场。故填a。

【2】Luckily 句意:幸运的是,他还有一头奶牛,每天都能产奶。luckily副词,幸运的是。根据文意可知,Johnson先生的农场很破旧,都快要废弃了。但是还有奶牛每天都产奶,能让他维持生存,所以这是一件幸运的事。这里用副词形式修饰整个句子

【3】for 句意:他去附近的镇里卖牛奶,或是用牛奶来换其他的食物。短语exchange…for…,意为……交换……”故填介词for。

【4】was left 句意:他去附近的镇里卖牛奶,或是用牛奶来换其他的食物,用剩下的牛奶制作奶酪和黄油。leave离开;剩下,留下。根据文意可知,Johnson先生一家靠农场里的奶牛产奶来生活。除去卖掉的和换其他食物的牛奶,剩下的他就用来制作奶酪和黄油。这里what was left是一个宾语从句,根据句意可知用被动语态。

【5】when 句意:一天,奶牛正在吃草,这时突然开始下起大雨。when是并列连词,意思是正在这时。这句话使用的句型是be doing sth. when...表示正在做某事这时…

【6】fell 句意:在慌忙逃跑的时候,奶牛摔下了山死了。fall摔倒,掉下来,根据文意可知,这篇短文使用的是一般过去时态,故这里填过去式fell。

【7】without 句意:牛奶死了,Johnson先生不得不继续生活。with和…一起。根据文意可知,牛奶在慌忙躲雨的时候,不小心摔死了,因此Johnson先生就不得不继续生活在没有了奶牛的情况下。故填without。

【8】to sell 句意:因为这些药草和蔬菜需要花费时间来生长,Johnson先生就开始砍树来卖木头。sell卖,销售。根据文意可知,Johnson先生一边种植药草和蔬菜,一边砍树去卖掉木柴。这里用动词不定式形式在句中目的状语。

【9】where 句意:丰收的时候,他已经在人们定期赶集的市场上去卖药草、蔬菜和棉花了。where 在这里引导的是一个定语从句,修饰先行词the market。

【10】him 句意:现在看来好像他的农场是非常有潜能的,奶牛的死也似乎给他带来了好运气。It occurred to sb. that…某人突然发现这是一个固定句型,因为这篇短文讲述的是Johnson先生,故填him。

【知识归纳】

【题目】阅读理解。

Whether you admit it or not, music improves our daily life and makes us feel easy, especially the music of Beethoven and Mozart. But can you believe that a school in England is using classical music to cut down students’ bad behavior?

The head teacher Brian Walker at the West Park School in Derby asks some students to stay behind after school on Fridays. He forces his students to listen to Mozart and other classical music. He also makes them copy his favorite poems and they have to watch educational videos.

Mr. Walker says his main aim is to stop noisy pupils causing trouble in class for students who want to study. He said the students staying behind were “not the smokers or drinkers, the truants (逃学生) or the people who are late for school…It’s those who have slowed the learning and teaching in class for everyone”. Mr. Walker said this was unacceptable, because it was making the rest of the students fail to focus their attention on their study.

Mr. Walker believes what he does reminds students that education is something to value. “It helps them see they are part of something bigger that will improve their life chances,” he said. The head teacher thinks students in fact learn from being kept behind after school. “Hopefully, I open their ears to an experience they don’t normally have and don’t want to have again, so it’s both educational and acts as a warning.”

Music has had success elsewhere in reducing bad behavior. In 2004, it reduced crime on London’s subway by 25 percent. Researchers from a Belfast university found it helped stop elephants’ bad behavior.

However, one West Park student called Kieran said, “An hour of Mr. Walker’s music is a real killer.”

【1】Mr. Walker asks his students to listen to music to _______________.

A. make them rest after a day’s study

B. punish them for their bad behavior

C. get them to love arts gradually

D. reduce their bad behavior

【2】A student who _____ may be left behind to listen to Mozart after class.

A. plays truant B. smokes in class

C. bothers others in class D. comes late for class

【3】Why does Mr. Walker say some students’ bad behavior is unacceptable?

A. Because the rest of the students hate them.

B. Because they are wasting their life.

C. Because they are disturbing teachers.

D. Because they have a bad influence on the other students.

【4】In the eyes of Mr. Walker, _____.

A. some students don’t realize education is valuable

B. all students can learn from music

C. music must be taught after class

D. students ought to love music

【5】It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that _____.

A. the action Mr. Walker takes sometimes doesn’t really work as planned

B. Mr. Walker aims to tell students study is important

C. once music helped animals behave well

D. animals also like to listen to music

【题目】A hobby is an inverstment of time. It also can be an investment of money and commitment. Many people choose to developing more than one type of hobby. 1When it comes to choosing the hobby, consider the following factors.

5 But most of the skilled hobbies like art, building or writing have a series of lessons or tutorials that you can take to further your skills. In some cases it’s a really good idea to take lessons, especially if you are clueless as to where or how to begin. Step by step books for most hobbies can often be found in bookstores as well.

I was reading an article in a book while I came across a word I didn’t know. “Dad, what is the meaning of the word?” My dad, as he usual did after work, was watching his most favorite show. “You have the dictionary, don’t you?” he shot back. He didn’t even look up my face. I went back my room, and there on my study table is that dictionary. I looked it up and found it’s exact meaning. Ten year have passed and I still use that dictionary, along with the lesson I received earlier in life from my old man: to be independent.
