Mom and Dad went back home from vacation a day earlier as expected,and they couldn't wait to surprise their two sons.However,what disappointed them greatly was that the house was in total(完全的)mess,with dirty dishes in the sink and garbages lying everywhere. What was worse, their dog Spot looked like he was starving.Mom and Dad were sure Daniel,which had been left in charge of the house,was to blame.Before Daniel can explain,Dad shouted angry at him.He said that such behavior should not be tolerated,but Mom added that Daniel could not be trust.Daniel felt so upset that he ran into his room.“Why didn't they ask me what had happened? Didn't I deserve a chance to defend for myself?I hate them!”Daniel thought to herself.
【答案】①as改为than ②in后加a ③garbages改为garbage ④把which改为who ⑤can改为could ⑥angry改为angrily ⑦but改为and
⑧trust改为trusted ⑨for去掉 ⑩herself改为himself
【解析】①句意:比预期要早一天,父母度假回家。根据前面的earlier可知,此处是表示比较,故as改为than。
②句意:让父母失望的是家里一团糟。in a mess是固定短语,意为一团糟。故in后加a。
③句意:洗碗池里满是脏盘子,而且垃圾到处都是。garbage是不可数名词,故garbages改为garbage。
④句意:父母确定是在家照管家的Daniel的责任。先行词是Daniel,指人,而which指物,故把which改为who。
⑤句意:在Daniel能解释之前,父亲很生气的喊他。整篇文章都是讲述的过去的事情,所以应该用过去时。故can改为could。
⑥句意:在Daniel能解释之前,父亲很生气的喊他。此处应该用副词修饰动词,故angry改为angrily。
⑦句意:而且母亲也这样认为。根据语境可知,此处是爸爸和妈妈都指责Daniel,是并列关系,故but改为and。
⑧句意:母亲也说Daniel不可信。根据上文的be以及句意可知,此处是表示被动,故trust改为trusted。
⑨句意:难道我连一个自我辩护的机会也没有吗?defend是及物动词,可以直接加宾语,不需要加介词,故for去掉。
⑩句意:Daniel心里想。Daniel是男孩,故herself改为himself。

【题目】根据短文内容,选择最佳答案。
The iPhone, the iPad: each of Apple's products sounds cool and has become a fad(一时的风尚). Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i” --and many other brands are following suit. The BBC's iPlayer--which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet--used the title in 2008. A lovely bear--popular in the US and UK--that plays music and video is called “iTeddy”. A slimmed-down version(简装本) of London's Independent newspaper was started last week under the name “i”.
In general, single-letter prefixes(前缀) have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce(电子商务) first came into use.
Most “I” products are targeted at(针对) young people and considering the major readers of Independent's “I”, it's no surprise that they've selected this fashionable name.
But it's hard to see what's so special about the letter “i”. Why not use “a”, “b”, or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at King's College, London, “i” works because its meaning has become ambiguous. When Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, individual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didn't have one clear definition(定义),” he says.
“However, thanks to Apple, the term is now connected with portability (轻便).” adds Thorne.
Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason.
Along with “Google” and “blog”, readers of BBC Magazines voted “I” as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade(十年).
But as history shows, people grow tired of fads. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was connected with all things advanced and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the fashion disappeared.
(1)We can infer that the Independent's "i" is designed at .
A.old readers
B.young readers
C.fashionable women
D.engineers
(2)The underlined word “ambiguous” means ““.
A.popular
B.clear
C.uncertain
D.unique
(3)Nowadays, the “i” term often reminds people of the products which are.
A.portable
B.environmentally friendly
C.advanced
D.recyclable
(4)The writer suggests that.
A.“i” products are often of high quality
B.iTeddy is alive bear
C.the letter “b” replaces letter “i” to name the products
D.the popularity of “i” products may not last long

【题目】阅读理解
Since my family were not going to be helpful about my taking a cooking job, I decided I would look for one all by myself and not to tell them about it till I'd got a permanent one.
I had seen an agency advertised in a local paper, so as soon as there was no one about to say “Where are you going?” I rushed out of the house in search of it. I was wildly excited, and as nervous as if I were going on the stage. Finding the place quite easily, I tore up three flights of stairs, and swung breathlessly through a door which said “Enter without knocking, if you please.”
The simple atmosphere of the office calmed me, and I sat down on the edge of a chair. The woman at the desk opposite looked carefully at me. Then she questioned me in a low voice. I answered softly and started to feel helpless. She wondered why I was looking for this sort of job, so I felt I had to give her the idea of a widowed mother struggling against poverty. But I felt more helpless when she told me that it would be difficult to get a job without experience or references. Suddenly, the telephone on her desk rang. While having a mysterious conversation, she kept looking at me. Then I heard her say:
“In fact, I've got someone here who might suit.” She wrote down a number, and my spirits rose as she held out the paper to me, saying: “Ring up this lady. She wants a cook immediately. Cook a dinner for ten people tomorrow. Could you manage that, I wonder?”
“Oh, yes,” say I—never having cooked for more than four. Then I rushed out and called the lady, Miss Cathy. I said confidently that I was just what she was looking for. “Are you sure?” she kept saying. Anyway she decided to employ me and a permanent position if I carried out the promise of my self-praise. I asked her what tomorrow's menu was to be.
“Just a small, simple dinner: lobster cocktail, soup, turbot mornay, fruit salad and a savory.” In a rather shaken voice I promised to turn up in good time tomorrow and rang off.
(1)What did the author feel on her way?
A.Excited but worried.
B.Nervous and excited.
C.Easy and curious.
D.Helpless but excited.
(2)Why didn't the woman give the author the job at first?
A.Because the woman found that the author didn't respect her.
B.Because the woman realized that the author made up a story.
C.Because the author hadn't been a cook before or got a reference.
D.Because the woman had already hired a more suitable cook.
(3)According to the passage, what would the author most probably do after the call?
A.Read some cookery book.
B.Call her family and tell them the news.
C.Go to the woman's house.
D.Buy what the woman told her at once.

【题目】A
●NATURAL BEAUTY: OUR ENVIRONMENT
Anne Bowen, an art teacher, always emphasized environmental themes in her classes. She channels her concern for the environment into her artwork, which you can see in her "Our Environment" exhibition, at the Carrollwood Cultural Center in Tampa. Bowen uses mixed media (pen and ink, colored pencils and paint) to describe nature, using patterns that echo the symmetry(对称) found there. She’s also interested in the ways animals live together in groups, which she explores in her piece Monarch Butterflies(pictured). She hopes her art inspires viewers to come up with solutions to environmental problems. Bowen’s commitment to environmental preservation isn’t just lip service; she’ll donate half of her sales profits to the Sierra Club. In addition to "Our Environment", members of the Exhibiting Society of Artists have an exhibition in the gallery. The opening reception for both shows is 5—8 p.m. Friday. 4537 Lowell Road. (813) 269-1310.

Each month, the gallery features local artists with an opening reception in conjunction with First Friday Art in the Heights. This Friday’s exhibition, "Unfurled", features abstract artists Stephanie Ong and Laura Kmetz.
Ong’s paintings are a form of communication using light, scale and color. Her latest series, "Habitats", explores transitions in life. Kmetz’s works are deep concentrations of nature and objects, which she explores through multilayered, mixed-media works. She seeks to reveal the essence of things, finding their meaning and offer associations with displacement, loss, search, recovery and preservation. The opening reception is 7—10 p.m. 1910 N Florida Ave. The gallery’s hours after that are by appointment.

Many people think of guys as being carefree when it comes to their appearance. But in fact, a lot of guys spend plenty of time in front of the mirror. They care just as much as girls do about their body image.
Body image is a person's opinions and feelings about his or her own body and physical appearance. You appreciate your body for its capabilities and accept its imperfections.
Here are some ideas.
Recognize your strengths. Different body types are good for different things. What does your body do well? Maybe your speed, strength, or coordination makes you better than others at a certain sport. That may be basketball, table tennis, mountain biking, dancing, or even running. Or perhaps you have non-sports skills, like drawing, painting, singing, playing a musical instrument, writing, or acting.
Exercise regularly. Exercise can help you look well and feel good about yourself. Good physiques (体形) don't just happen. A healthy habit can be as simple as exercising 20 minutes to 1 hour three days a week. Working out can also lift your spirits.
Respect your body! Practicing good habits regular showering; taking care of your teeth, hair, and skin; wearing clean clothes, and so on can help you build a positive body image.
Your body is just one part of who you are. Your talent for comedy, a quick wit (智慧) and all the other things make you unique. So try not to let small imperfections take over.
A. Use this as an opportunity to discover what you're good at.
B. Be yourself.
C. Having a positive body image means feeling satisfied with the way you look.
D. Just explore talents that you feel good about.
E. They take hard work, regular workouts, and a healthy diet.
F. The good news is that self-image and body image can be changed.
G. So, what can you do to develop a positive body image?

Ways to Have an Amazing Day
I’m a big believer in the Law of the Harvest: 1 . If we plant the seeds of success every day, we will reap a successful harvest. If we delay the planting, we cannot expect to harvest. Here are a few tips for making sure you can answer the pop quiz of life confidently:
Keep Learning
A child has the opportunity to learn about 100 new things a day and they love the feeling of learning something new. That’s why a young child will ask their parents, "Why?" about a thousand times a week. They are learning and growing. It wouldn’t hurt us to look around throughout the day and ask, "Why did that happen? How does that work? What can I do about that?" 2
Be Kind
It has been said that you can measure a person by how they treat the people who can do nothing for them. One great way to get more out of your day is to fill it with people you know. 3 The best way to know more people is to take a moment to learn a little about them.
4
I have noticed for some time that a lot of the happiest and most satisfied people I know have one or more big "life goals" they are working towards. It may be to run a marathon, write a book, start a business, develop a product, or learn a new hobby or profession. It doesn’t really
5 In fact, most people experience something like a "pop midterm". Those are the moments in life where you wake up and realize that you have wasted the last 5—10 years on cruise control. Some people lose a job and realize they haven’t taken the time to develop any skills that would help them find another one.
A. Find A Suitable Purpose
B. Be kind to everyone you meet.
C. Look for some ways to serve.
D. We harvest what we sow.
E. Is your life filled with meaningless activities?
F. A lifetime of learning leads to a love for life.
G. Life doesn’t always throw us too many pop quizzes.
