Her third album, 25, ___【4】___ ( release) on Nov 20, not only broke a record for one-week album sales in just over three days, but also sold more than US singer Taylor Swift’s 1989 to become ____【5】___ best-selling album of 2015. No ___【6】___ USA Today named Adele “Musician of the Year” on Dec 28.
So what is behind the album’s ___【7】____ (popular)? First and foremost, the 27-year-old British singer has “an awe-inspiring voice that shows her genuine talent”, wrote The Christian Science Monitor.

【答案】
【1】beating
【2】becoming
【3】most
【4】released
【5】the
【6】wonder
【7】popularity
【8】as
【9】what
【10】that
【解析】
试题分析:本文介绍了英国著名的歌手阿黛尔以及她在2015年出版个人专辑取得了巨大的成功。
【1】beating 考查固定句式。固定句式have trouble(in)doing sth做某事有困难;她毫不困难击败了对手。
【2】becoming 考查非谓语动词。本句中现在分词短语在句中做结果状语,表示意料之中的结果。句意:Adele毫不困难地击败了其他歌手错误年度最佳歌手。
【3】most 考查最高级。本句使用最高级most successful修饰one,表示强调,语气非常强烈。
【4】released 考查分词做定语。本句中动词release与名词her third album构成被动关系,所以使用过去分词短语在句中做定语修饰her third album。
【5】the 考查定冠词。英语中在最高级的前面要使用定冠词the修饰,表示特指。本句中the best-selling album of 2015特指2015年最卖座专辑。
【6】wonder 考查连词短语。连词no wonder难怪;句意:难怪《今日美国》把阿黛尔成为年度音乐人。
【7】popularity 考查名词。横线前面有所有格album’s修饰,说明横线应该使用名词,形容词popular的名词形式是popularity。句意:在这份专辑受欢迎的背后是什么?
【8】as 考查固定短语。短语take...as an example以...为例;句意:以阿黛尔年度单曲“Hello”为例。
【9】what 考查表语从句。本句中what引导表语从句,并在句中作为动词call的宾语。句意:音乐就是Chris Ferguson所称的“a social event”。
【10】that 考查强调句型。强调句型的剧本结构是“It is/was.....that/who......”,本句强调的是主语this sense of ‘we’ve been here before’.

【题目】I never knew how amazing it would feel to help a family 4,560 miles away from my home. I never knew how great an effect I could have on that single family.
From the moment I walked into French class, I knew almost instantly that I belonged there. My teacher, Madame Weiser, is a kind and caring woman, and is the person who started the interest within me to help a family abroad, no matter how many miles apart.
Back in 2011, my teacher traveled as a tourist to Maxi, a country settled in West Africa with a large French-speaking population. She didn’t expect to adopt an entire family, but fate had other plans. Madame met a nice man named Monsieur Diarra, a driver who had shown her the way through the dry lands of Mali.
Mali is now a war-torn country and unsafe for tourists to visit, leaving little work for taxi drivers. Madame Weiser realized how Monsieur Driarra’s family struggled on a daily basis, for he had a wife and four children to support as well as their grandmother, so she made a final decision to send the family as much money as she could raise every month.
Now, three years later, Madame Weiser has still kept up her fund, collecting money from family and friends as well as students to support the cause. It has become more than just my teacher donating to her adopted family abroad.
As president of French Club at my high school and a French Honor Society member, I decided that our club should work to raise money for the family in need. By washing cars, we raised over $1,000.
From my experience, I’ve learned that making an effort is worth more than anything. Its effect is priceless!
【1】 Why do taxi drivers have difficulty finding work in Mali?
A. People don’t like taking a taxi.
B. Tourists visiting Mali are few.
C. Mali is very unsafe for them.
D. Public transport is enough.
【2】 What does the underlined expression “the cause” refer to?
A. Teaching Trench in West Africa.
B. Looking for jobs for the drivers in Mali.
C. Helping the homeless as much as possible.
D. Donating money to the adopted family abroad.
【3】 What did the writer think of her experience?
A. Boring B. Puzzling
C. Satisfying. D. Relaxing.
【4】 What is the best title of this passage?
A. The Love for Africa. B. A Kind Foreign Driver.
C. My Helpful Teacher D. My Unforgettable Class

One day I was in the back yard teaching my little nephew how to play football. He said that play football was something easier. His words immediately bring back memories of my childhood. As a little boy, I told my uncle I wanted to become football star like him. However, he taught me how to kick the ball. After some practice, I told him it was hardly for me to kick the ball the way he kicked them. He talked to me about not giving up on how I really wanted to do. Thank to his guidance and encouragement, and I’ve become a football star in my school.

On Friday, our teacher told us that there would an English corner in front of our teaching building. I set about soon after the last class in the afternoon.
To my joy, the English corner had just been on for a few minute. I joined them on their talk. At first, I was afraid that my English was so poor and limit that I couldn’t follow them or make myself understand. I was also afraid that anyone might laugh at me. But a smiling face here or an encouraging nod there soon put me at ease. Though I speak to them only in simple English that day, I believe in future I will make a greater progress.
