2.The beautiful lady was at ______loss when ______word came that she was forbidden to drive for speeding.(  )
A.a;/B.the; aC.a; theD.the; the

分析 当她因为超速被禁止驾车的消息传来时,这个漂亮的女士感到很茫然.

解答 答案是A.
本题考查不定冠词和零冠词的用法.第一空考查了固定短语at a loss,表示"茫然",所以第一空用a;排除B和D;第二空中word表示"消息",是不可数名词,前面不需要加冠词,所以排除C;由此判断答案是A.

点评 这是高考经常会出现的考查形式.几乎每年高考都考查了冠词这个知识点.它一般是把不定冠词、定冠词和零冠词结合起来考查,试题难度相对较大,考生如果没有充分掌握冠词的基本用法,就不容易把这种题目回答准确

10.In Eastern Europe,blue jeans stand for American culture and"the good life".In Spain they are known as"cowboys"."cowboy trousers",which means they are connected with the American West cowboy culture and outdoor work.
The earliest known cloth for jeans was a thick cotton cloth from the Indians.At first they were working clothes.They became popular among teenagers in the 1950s.Today jeans are a very popular form of casual wear around the world and come in many styles and colors.
Jeans were first made in Genoa in Italy.The trousers were made for the Genoese navy (海军) because they needed trousers which could be worn wet or dry,and whose legs could be easily rolled up while the men were cleaning the ships.
In the 1850s Levi Strauss,a business man living in San Francisco,was selling blue jeans under the"Levi's"name to the coal workers of California.
During World War II,the coal workers liked jeans very much because they were strong and did not tear easily.In the 1950s,jeans became popular with young people in the United States.Wearing of blue jeans by teenagers was the symbol of rebels (反叛者) in TV programs and movies.Some cinemas and restaurants refused to let people in if they wore blue jeans.In the 1980s,jeans finally became high fashion clothing,when famous designers started making their own styles of jeans,with their own labels on them.Sales of jeans went up and up.
25.From the first paragraph we know thatD.

B.cowboys live a good life
C.American culture is cowboy culture
D.cowboy culture is usually related to the West of America

B.the name of a kind of jeans
C.the name of a kind of cloth          
D.the nickname of a businessman
28.Why the people who wore blue jeans were refused to go into the cinema in the 1950s?D.
A.Because jeans were made for workers.
B.Because jeans were made of denim.
C.Because it was during the time of war.
D.Because wearing jeans was the symbol of rebels.

11.I read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting.But where are we doing all of this waiting,and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours?To understand the issue,let's take a look at three types of"waits".
The very purest form of waiting is the Watched-Pot Wait.It is without doubt the most annoying of all.Take filling up the kitchen sink(洗碗池) as an example.There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it's full.During these waits,the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks.This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless.
A cousin to the Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait.This one requires a bit of discipline.Properly preparing packaged noodle soup requires a Forced Wait.Directions are very specific."Bring three cups of water to boil,add mix,simmer three minutes,remove from heat,let stand five minutes."I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly.After all,Forced Waiting requires patience.
Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait.This type of wait is unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary.Unlike the Forced Wait,which is also voluntary,waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen.
Turning one's life into a waiting game requires faith and hope,and is strictly for the optimists among us.On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes,but the Lucky-Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it.As long as one doesn't come to rely on it,wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody.
We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting.The next time you're standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that you'll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky,don't be desperate.You're probably just as busy as the next guy.

51.While doing a Watched-Pot Wait,we tend toB.
A.keep ourselves busy
B.get absent-minded
C.grow anxious
D.stay focused
52.What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the Watched-Pot Wait?A
A.The Forced Wait requires some self-control.
B.The Forced Wait makes people passive.
C.The Watched-Pot Wait needs directions.
D.The Watched-Pot Wait engages body and brain.
53.What can we learn about the Lucky-Break Wait?B
A.It is less voluntary than the Forced Wait.
B.It doesn't always bring the desired result.
C.It is more fruitful than the Forced Wait.
D.It doesn't give people faith and hope.
54.What does the author advise us to do the next time we are waiting?D
A.Take it seriously.
B.Don't rely on others.
C.Do something else.
D.Don't lose heart.
55.The author supports his view byC.
A.exploring various causes of"waits"
B.describing detailed processes of"waits"
C.analyzing different categories of"waits"
D.revealing frustrating consequences of"waits"

Jon Hoffman was sitting at a red light when he saw a man run out of a store carrying a plastic donation jar full of cash. The Plano, Texas, detective# dressed in plain clothes but wearing his badge and gun, caught the man and pinned him to the hood of his car. But Hoffman had trouble containing the thief, and they got into a struggle.

“The detective has a martial (军事的) arts background, and he said he thought the suspect must have a martial arts background, too, because he was able to break away so easily,” a Plano police spokesperson said.

The detective called out for help as a crowd gathered. Among those watching: Andre Harvey and Kirby Sample, two day laborers. Harvey did what has become common these days—he took out his phone and hit record. “I hate to say it, but I thought that this policeman was doing something stupid,” Harvey said. “But when he asked for help, I thought, well, there won’t be a shooting if I get over there in time.” Harvey jumped into action —while he was still recording the video—as did Sample.

“Harvey caught hold of the suspect’s arms, while Kirby seized his legs, and they were able to get the suspect to the ground to help Detective Hoffman put the handcuffs (手铐)on,” said the police spokesperson. The 27-year-old suspect was charged with resisting arrest and other offenses. The charity jar he stole held less than $ 50.

“I’ve been on the wrong side of the law several times in my life,” Harvey told WFAA. “It feels good to be on the right side and do something positive.”

After the arrest, the three men got to know each other over steaks and ribs at a local steak house — Hoffman’s treat, as a thank-you. But the rescuers say Hoffman deserves credit too. “It could have turned real ugly,” Sample told KFOR. com. “He handled himself like a real professional.”

1.What made Hoffman call for help when arresting the suspect?

A. He was not on duty. B. He couldn’t control the suspect.

C. He needed witnesses to support him. D. He wanted to push the thief into the car.

2.Why did Harvey and Kirby record the scene at the beginning?

A. To follow the fashion B. To record the cop’s violence.

C. To keep track of the criminal. D. To avoid being involved in the incident.

3.What can be inferred about Harvey?

A. He was ready to violate the law. B. He was out of work at that time.

C. He had a good martial arts background. D. He might have had some illegal conducts.

4.What is Harvey and Sample’s attitude towards Hoffman?

A. Appreciative. B. Prejudiced.

C. Skeptical. D. Admirable.
