【题目】Religion was very important in Greek life. Temples were the major 【1】(build) in Greek cities. The Greeks thought that 12 main gods lived on Mount Olympus, the【2】(high)mountain in Greece. One of these was Zeus, 【3】was the chief god and father of the gods. The Greeks believed that the spirits of most people went to an underworld 【4】(rule)by the god Hades, regardless of 【5】the people had done in life. Greeks performed rituals to please the gods. Rituals are religious ceremonies. The Greek rituals combined prayers 【6】gifts to the gods. The Greeks also held【7】(festival) to honor the gods and goddesses. Athletic games often took place at the festivals. All Greeks were invited to these games. The first games of this kind 【8】(hold)at the Olympic festival in 776 B. C.
The Greeks used oracles to learn the will of the gods. An oracle was a sacred shrine(圣地)【9】a god or goddess revealed the future through a priest(神父)or priestess. The most famous was the oracle of the god Apollo at Delphi. Many people traveled to Delphi 【10】(consult) the oracle of Apollo.
【答案】
【1】buildings
【2】highest
【3】who
【4】ruled
【5】what
【6】with
【7】festivals
【8】were held
【9】where
【10】to consult
【解析】古希腊宗教在古希腊人的生活层面具有主导作用,因此欲了解古希腊文化必须先了解古希腊宗教。古希腊人的信仰基本上与城邦政治结合在一起,以雅典城而言:他们主尊供奉的就是司掌技艺、智慧雅典娜女神,而著名的奥林匹亚则是供奉古希腊神话中的最高神祇宙斯;德尔斐则是以司掌预言、光明、音乐之神阿波罗为主尊。
【1】考查名词。根据Temples were得知用名词复数形式。故填buildings。
【2】考查形容词。the加形容词最高级,奥林匹克山是希腊最高的山峰,故填highest。
【3】考查关系代词。先行词是宙斯,在定语从句中做主语,故填who。
【4】考查非谓语动词。本句已经有谓语动词went to,统治要用非谓语形式,地下世界和统治是被动关系,故填ruled。
【5】考查关系词。介词后是宾语从句,名词性从句中缺少宾语,用what,故填what。
【6】考查介词。combine…with是固定短语,表示把…结合起来,故填with。
【7】考查名词。根据下文的Athletic games often took place at the festivals得知举办多种节日,故填festivals。
【8】考查动词时态语态。in 776 B. C.提示是过去时态,The first games 做主语用复数动词,与举办是被动关系,故填were held。
【9】考查关系副词。a sacred shrine是先行词,在定语从句中做地点状语,故填where。
【10】考查非谓语动词。表示目的用不定式结构,去请示阿波罗的神谕,故填to consult。
本题难点解读:
1:从句前有被修饰的先行词,或指代一件事情,且从句中缺少作主语、宾语、表语的引导词时,根据上下文考虑使用关系代词。
One of these was Zeus, ____3____was the chief god and father of the gods.此处是非限制性定语从句,先行词是宙斯,指代人,逗号后不能用that,故填who。
2:句中已有谓语动词,动词与所修饰词有被动关系,说明需用非谓语动词的过去分词形式。
Many people traveled to Delphi ___10___(consult) the oracle of Apollo.考查非谓语动词。表示目的用不定式结构,去请示阿波罗的神谕,故填to consult。

Their cheery song brightens many a winter's day. But robins are in danger of wearing themselves out by singing too much. Robins are singing all night一as well as during the day, British-based researchers say.
David Dominoni, of Glasgow University, said that light from street lamps, takeaway signs and homes is affecting the birds' biological clocks, leading to them being wide awake when they should be asleep.
Dr Dominoni, who is putting cameras inside nesting boxes to track sleeping patterns, said lack of sleep could put the birds' health at risk. His study shows that when robins are exposed to light at night in the lab, it leads to some genes being active at the wrong time of day. And the more birds are exposed to light, the more active they are at night.
He told people at a conference, "There have been a couple of studies suggesting they are increasing their song output at night and during the day they are still singing. Singing is a costly behaviour and it takes energy. So by increasing their song output, there might be some costs of energy."
And it is not just robins that are being kept awake by artificial light. Blackbirds and seagulls are also being more nocturnal. Dr Dominoni said, "In Glasgow where I live, gulls are a serious problem. I have people coming to me saying `You are the bird expert. Can you help us kill these gulls?'.During the breeding(繁殖)season, between April and June, they are very active at night and very noisy and people can't sleep."
Although Dr Dominoni has only studied light pollution, other research concluded that robins living in noisy cities have started to sing at night to make themselves heard over loud noise.
However, some birds thrive(兴旺)in noisy environments. A study from California Polytechnic University found more hummingbirds in areas with heavy industrial machinery. It is thought that they are capitalising on their predators(天敌)fleeing to quieter areas.
(1)According to Dr Dominoni's study, what cause robins to sing so much?
A.The breeding season.
B.The light in modern life
C.The dangerous environment.
D.The noise from heavy machinery.
(2)What is the researchers' concern over the increase of birds' song output?
A.The environment might be polluted.
B.The birds' health might be damaged.
C.The industry cost might be increased.
D.The people's hearing might be affected.
(3)What does the underlined word "nocturnal" in Paragraph 5 mean?
A.Active at night.
B.Inactive at night.
C.Active during the day.
D.Inactive during the day.
(4)Why do some birds thrive in noisy environments?
A.Because there are fewer dangers.
B.Because there is more food to eat.
C.Because there is less light pollution
D.Because there are more places to take shelter.

The other day I ran into an old schoolmate of my, Sally Barber, while I was at the cashpoint. I hadn't seen her for age. I wanted to catch up with her, so I suggested go for a cup of coffee. Unfortunately, Sally's a very busy woman, but she didn't have time for a coffee. Let's meet late in the week, I suggested.

【题目】Encouraging pupils to keep noise to a minimum should be a valuable part of all children’s education, according to a new research.
Dr. Helen Lees, from Stirling University’s school of education, says that “enforced (强制的) silence” is seen as a punishment and often acts to suppress children’s natural ability. But she says that teaching children about the benefits of “enforced silence” — deliberate stillness that gives them the opportunity to focus and reflect in a stress-free environment — can have a significant effect on pupils’ concentration and behaviour.
It is the latest in a string of researches to establish a link between the classroom environment and pupils’ academic ability.
A study almost a decade ago in London found that children’s exam results were cut by as much as a third if they taught in noisy classrooms. Teaching unions have also called for a limit of 26℃ to be put on classroom temperatures because teachers and pupils struggle to work in hot conditions and some educationalists claim that too much clutter(杂乱的东西) on classroom walls can prevent children from concentrating.
Dr. Lees said: “When we take some research on school settings and put it all together, what we see is that education without silence does not make much sense. In areas of better learning outcomes, better self-confidence and well-being measures, enforced silence in a person’s life and an individual’s education is shown throughout the relevant research to be a benefit.”
Dozens of schools across Britain already introduce periods of “reflective silence” into the timetable.
Kevin Hogston, head of Sheringdale Primary, south London, has just introduced a minute’s silence at the start of twice-weekly meetings in which children are taught breathing techniques and encouraged to reflect. The school plans to introduce it into classrooms every day.
【1】According to Dr. Helen Lees, “enforced silence” _____________.
A. is an effective way of punishment
B. does not make much sense in class
C. can improve pupils’ confidence
D. can make pupils more creative
【2】The underlined word, “suppress”, in the second paragraph probably means “_________”.
A. prevent something from developing
B. make something better than before
C. get something back
D. unite with something.
【3】What can be inferred from the research on school settings?
A. Students are more creative if taught in noisy classrooms.
B. Silence makes a great difference to pupils.
C. Clutter on the walls can help students concentrate.
D. Most schools are not satisfactory in terms of classroom temperatures.
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A. How to arrange classroom settings.
B. How to achieve silence in class.
C. Encouraging pupils in class is beneficial.
D. Keeping quiet in class can improve academic ability.

【题目】阅读理解
When her five daughters were young, Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity (团结). To show this, she held up one chopstick, representing oneperson. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next, she tied several chopsticks together, representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.
Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn't have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Danny's mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards, Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However, Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard.
Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elisabeth explains, "Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family, there is no business."
Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996, with three generations of Ans working together. Now the Ans' corporation makes more than $20 million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together. Now they are a big success.
(1)Helene tied several chopsticks together to show ______.
A.the strength of family unity
B.the difficulty of growing up
C.the advantage of chopsticks
D.the best way of giving a lesson
(2)We can I earn from Paragraph 2 that the An family ______.
A.started a business in 1975
B.left Vietnam without much money
C.bought a restaurant in San Francisco
D.opened a sandwich shop in Los Angeles
(3)What can we infer about the An daughters?
A.They did not finish their college education.
B.They could not bear to work in the family business.
C.They were influenced by what Helene taught them.
D.They were troubled by disagreement among family members.
(4)Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

【题目】For several years, Americans have enjoyed teleshopping—watching TV and buying things by phone. Now teleshopping is starting in Europe. In a number of European countries, people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes, jewelry, food, toys, and many other things.
Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden, for example. The biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries, and in one year it made $100 million. In France there are two teleshopping channels, and the French spend about $20 million a year buying things through those channels.
In Germany, until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for one hour every day. Then the government allowed more teleshopping. Other channels can open for telebusiness, including the largest American teleshopping company and a 24-hour teleshopping company. German businessmen are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things.
Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes. With all the problems of traffic in cities, this is an important reason. But at the same time, other Europeans do not like this new way of buying things. They call teleshopping ‘‘junk on the air”. Many Europeans usually worry about the quality of the things for sale on TV. Good quality is important to them, and they don’t believe they can be sure about the quality of the things on TV.
The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different from the American companies. They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person.
【1】Teleshopping is ________ in Europe.
A. popular B. growing C. cheap D. not possible
【2】People like teleshopping because it is ________.
A. easier B. cheaper C. more popular D. more interesting
【3】Some Europeans don’t like teleshopping because they ________.
A. don’t like to buy things
B. believe the things sold on TV are expensive
C. think the things sold on TV are of bad quality
D. don’t like watching TV
【4】What would be the best title of this passage?
A. American Teleshopping B. Teleshopping Companies
C. Teleshopping in Europe D. teleshopping—Junk on the Air
