When I worked part-time in a local bookstore at my early age -- so easily - pictured, if you do not work in one, as a kind of paradise where not only 【1】 one read his own favorite books but also encounter charming young ladies (one of my personal fantasies) who browse eternally among Toni Morrison or Ernest Hemingwast thing that chiefly struck me was that really bookish people are a rarity, 【2】 there are vast numbers of those who consider themselves to be such. Often they will introduce themselves when they enter the bookshop 【3】 ‘book people’ and insist on telling you that ‘we love books’. They will wear T-shirts or carry bags with slogans explaining exactly how much they think they adore books. It is clear that the was they dress themselves is quite similar to that of us bookish people, but that is 【4】 the similarities between them and us begin and end. And 【5】 (sure) means of identifying them is that they never, ever buy books.
These days it is so rare that I find time to read that, when I do, it feels like indulgence, more so than any, other sensory experience. When an important relationship in my twenties 【6】 (break) up the only thing I could do was to read, and I amassed a pile of books 【7】 I sank and escaped from the world around me and inside me. The landscapes of Yu Hua, Wang Shou, Ernest Hemingway, George Orwell, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Harper Lee and others protected me from my own thoughts, which were pushed into the background, where 【8】 could silently process without bothering me. I created a physical wall on my desk, 【9】 (make) from the books, and as I read them the wall slowly came down until it was gone.
In a more real sense, books are the best way in which one enriches his own life and the enormous numbers of them out there in the world excite me, especially when I visit second-hand bookstores with no intention 【10】 (search) for a certain book. It is like casting a net and never knowing what you will find when you gather it in. As Goglo put in it in Dead Souls: “Once, long ago, in the years of my youth, in the years of my childhood, which have flashed irretrievably(不能挽回地)by, it was a joy for me to drive for the very first time to a place unknown.”
【答案】
【1】can
【2】although
【3】as
【4】where
【5】the surest
【6】broke
【7】into which
【8】they
【9】made
【10】to search

这是一篇记叙文。作者记叙了自己热爱读书的感受以及读书对自己的影响。
【1】考查情态动词。句意:在书店里,一个人不仅可以阅读自己喜欢的书,还会遇到迷人的年轻女士,她们总是在托妮·莫里森和欧内斯特·赫明之间流连。根据句意,该空表示“可以,能够”,故填can。
【2】考查让步状语从句。句意:让我印象最深刻的是,真正爱读书的人是罕见的,尽管有很多人认为自己是这样的人。根据句意,该空表示“尽管”,且引导从句,故填although。
【3】考查介词。句意:当他们走进书店的时候,他们通常会自我介绍为“读书人”,并坚持告诉你“我们爱书”。根据语境,该空意为“当作,作为”,故填as。

【8】考查代词和语境理解。句意:余华、王守、海明威、乔治·奥威尔、陀思妥耶夫斯基、哈珀·李等人的风景保护着我,使我不受自己思想的干扰,我的思想被推到背景中,在那里它们可以无声无息地进行,而不打扰我。where ___8___ could silently process without bothering me是定语从句,修饰my thoughts,该空在从句中作主语,指代my thoughts,指代复数名词用they。故填they。
【9】考查非谓语动词。句意:我在我的书桌上用书做了一堵实体墙,当我读它们的时候,这堵墙慢慢地倒了下来,直到消失。____9____ (make) from the books是定语,修饰a physical wall。a physical wall和make之间是被动关系,应用过去分词作定语。故填made。
【10】考查非谓语动词。句意:从更真实的意义上说,书籍是丰富自己生活的最好方式,而世界上大量的书籍让我兴奋不已,尤其是当我去二手书店却无意寻找某本书的时候。____10____ (search) for a certain book是定语,修饰intention,intention后常接动词不定式作定语,意为“……的打算,……的意图”。故填to search。

【题目】Counterfeit(假的) medicines are a widespread problem in developing countries. Like other counterfeits, they look like real products. But counterfeit drugs may contain too little or none of the active ingredients of the real thing.
People do not get the medicine they need. And in some cases, counterfeits cause death. Twenty children in Bangladesh died last year after being given acetaminophen(对乙酰氨基酚).The medications contained ingredients that looked, smelled and tasted like the real thing. The medicine was produced by a local drug company that used a dangerous substitute to save money.
The problem of counterfeit medicines is especially serious in Africa, Asia and Latin America. The WHO estimates that up to thirty percent of medicines on sale in many of those countries are counterfeit. The problem is less widespread among industrialized countries. The WHO says counterfeits make up less than one percent of the illegal drug market in countries like the United States, Canada, Japan and New Zealand.
But the agency also says as much as fifty percent of the medicine sold on the Internet is counterfeit.
Much is being done to fight counterfeit drugs. Several companies are developing ways to make counterfeits easier to identify. And there are existing methods, like a machine that can quickly identify chemicals in pills to confirm if the pills are real. Other ideas include things like special tracking codes for drug packages. People could send a text message with the code and get a message back, which proves that what they bought is listed in a database. Some drug makers and other companies put three-dimensional images called holograms(全息图)on their products as a security device.
【1】Last year twenty children in Bangladesh died because of _________.
A. unreal drugs
B. online medicines
C. acetaminophen
D. unclean water
【2】We can draw a conclusion from the passage that___________ .
A. it is very cheap and convenient to buy medicines online.
B. we had better not buy medicines online.
C. more and more people will buy products online.
D. medicine companies don’t pay much attention to counterfeit drugs.
【3】What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. It reveals(揭露) the reasons why counterfeit drugs are widespread.
B. Special tracking codes for drug packages are used to identify counterfeits.
C. It shows the danger of counterfeit drugs.
D. Some measures are being taken to fight counterfeit drugs.
【4】Which of the following country may have serious problems of counterfeit medicines?
A. Canada. B. India.

【题目】How to improve vocabulary fast
Your vocabulary refers to the words in a language you are familiar with. We should learn some ways to expand it.
Read every day. 【1】. Choose reading material that is slightly above your level and keep a dictionary with you to look up words you do not know.
【2】. If you do not meet with an unfamiliar word in your daily reading, use your dictionary to search for one.
Learn the correct definition and pronunciation for each new word. Pronunciation is as important as definition because in order to add a word to your active vocabulary, you must be able to use it in speech.
Elaborate (详尽阐述) on the meaning of the word. If you have just learned the word “stubborn”, think about the neighbour who will not lend you his car. 【3】
Use your new word in speech and in writing. E-mail your sister about how your cat is stubborn about sleeping on your pillow. 【4】. But the more you use it, the more fluent you will become in its use. Soon it will be a regular part of your active vocabulary.
Tell everyone you are trying to increase your vocabulary. Encourage them to ask you what your latest word is. 【5】
The more you explain the meaning of a word to someone, the more likely you are to remember it.
A. The vocabulary can be increased.
B. Find a new word every day.
C. Or let them ask for the definition of a new word you have used.
D. The more often you read, the faster your vocabulary can grow.
E. The first time you use a new word in speech it may seem strange.
F. Imagine him shaking his head, and think of him as “stubborn in his refusal”.
G. Your vocabulary contains the words you understand.
