【题目】

A lot of people are determined to become a millionaire. They spend half their time 1ways of getting rich, and the rest of their time thinking about all the enjoyable things they would do once they got rich. Some millionaires continue to 2 money when they become millionaires. But Charles Gray is one of the people who have 3 their millions. He used to be a college professor with a huge six-bedroom house and $ 2 million. However, he 4 being a person who had everything in a world where many people had nothing. Therefore, he 5 to give all his money away.

Now he appreciates this change and feels much happier.

【答案】

1dreaming up

2be concerned about

3turned their backs on

4was tired of

5made the choice

【解析】本文主要讲许多人梦想成为百万富翁,有些百万富翁有钱之后还是关心钱,而有些则不然。百万富翁查尔斯·格雷散尽家财,发现这样反而让他感到幸福了。

1句意:他们的一生中一半时间都在梦想变得富裕的办法,剩下的时间都在幻想如果有钱了该如何去享受。spend time doing sth.表示花时间做某事,本句中指人们花时间想象变得有钱的办法。dream up表示“做梦,向往,故填dreaming up。

2句意:有些富翁在变得有钱后还是关心钱。短语be concerned about表示关心,挂念;惦记根据continue to可知,这里表示有钱人变得有钱后还是关心钱,故填be concerned about。

3句意:但是查尔斯格雷却是一个不在乎万贯家财的人。turn one’s back on表示“不理睬;背弃”,根据后文中的give all his money away可知,他不重视自己的财产。再分析语境可知who have turned their backs on their millions为定语从句,先行词为people,所以turn one’s back on中的one’s应为their。故答案为turned their backs on。

4句意:然而,他厌倦了做一个拥有一切的人,而世界上很多人什么也没有。根据后文中的give all his money away可知,他对自己的万贯家财并不在意。再结合however可知查尔斯格雷对他的财产的态度是不在意的。be tired of表示“对于……感到厌倦”,联系上下文可知时态为一般过去时,故答案为was tired of。

5句意:因而他做了一个决定,将他所有的钱都散尽。make the choice表示“做了这个决定”,to give all his money away作定语修饰choice,表示“散尽钱财的决定。”联系上下文可知时态为一般过去时,故答案为made the choice。

选词填空中要注意将短语进行适当的变化。例如本题中的第三小题,题干中给出的短语是turn one’s back on,表示“不理睬,不帮助,背弃”。结合语境But Charles Gray is one of the people who have ___3___ their millions.可知who引导了一个定语从句,先行词为people. people为集合名词,单复同形,根据前面的one of可知这里的people为复数形式。所以定语从句中谓语动词采用复数形式have,并且one’s back改为对应的their backs. 最后注意划线处前的have,说明时态为完成时。综合以上分析,最终答案为turned their backs on.

【题目】Happy, angry, amazed—these are some of the emotions we like to express these days when we’re sending a message on our smartphones! That’s why many of us now add little pictures to our texts to brighten up someone’s mobile screen but we’re also using them as a quick way of telling someone how we’re feeling. Yes, emojis (表情符号) have become a popular tool for communication.

The emoji was first invented in Japan in the late 1990s and the word “emoji” comes from the Japanese words for “picture” and “character”. The number of different images has greatly increased since then and now we have a picture for nearly every mood or situation.

Why are emojis widely used today? Professor Vyv Evans says, “Increasingly, what we’re finding is that digital communication is replacing face-to-face talk in some ways. One of the reasons why emojis are so interesting is that they really do enable us to express our emotional selves much more effectively.”

Another advantage of emojis is that they are an international language—they don’t use words but tell a message with pictures so they can be easily understood whatever your native language is.

But as linguist (语言学家) Neil Cohn says, “To many, emojis are an exciting evolution (进化) of the way we communicate; but to others, they are linguistic Armageddon.” It does show by using emojis, there is a lot more to our communication than words alone, but does this also mean that the traditional writing will die out one day?

1What is implied(暗示) in Paragraph 2?

A. The emoji was first invented in Japan.

B. The word “emoji” only means “picture” and “character”.

C. More and more pictures are used to express our mood today.

D. The number of emoji images will increase rapidly in the future.

2Why do people use emojis so widely?

A. Emojis can never be misunderstood.

B. Emojis are similar to some native languages.

C. Emojis make us communicate more effectively.

D. Emojis can replace face-to-face communication.

3What does the phrase “linguistic Armageddon” mean?

A. The power of languages.

B. The beauty of languages.

C. The development of languages.

D. The disappearance of languages.

4What is the structure of the passage?

A. B.

C. D.

【题目】阅读理解。

When should people be made to retire? 55? 65? Should there be a compulsory age limit?

Many old people work well into their 70s and 80s, running families, countries or corporations. Other people, however, despite being fit and highly talented, are forced to retire in their fifties or even earlier because of the regulations of a company or the nation. This essay will examine whether people should be allowed to continue working as long as they want or whether they should be encouraged to retire at a particular stage.

Some people think there are several arguments for allowing older people to continue working as long as they are able. First of all, older employees have a large amount of knowledge and experience which can be lost to a business or organization if they are made to retire. A second point is that older employees are often extremely loyal employees and are more willing to carry out company policies than younger less committed staff. However, a more important point is regarding the attitudes in society to old people. To force someone to resign or retire at 60 indicates that the society does not value the input of these people and that their useful life is over. Age is irrelevant to a working life, surely if older employees are told they cannot work after 60, this is age discrimination. That they become old does not necessarily mean they are going to be sick. Old people could be more aware, experienced and committed than some youngsters.

Others, however, think that allowing older people to work indefinitely is not a good policy. Age alone is no guarantee of ability. Old people are only ambitious workaholics who are too selfish and selfcentered to believe that a younger person could do better. Actually, many younger employees have more experience or skills than older staff, who may have been stuck in one area or unit for most of their working lives. Having compulsory retirement allows new ideas in an organization. In addition, without age limits, however, many people would continue to work purely because they did not have any other plans or roles. A third point of view is that older people should be rewarded by society for their life's labor by being given generous pensions and the freedom to enjoy their leisure. We now have youngsters who can't find jobs because old people are choosing not to retire. Old people are not retiring because this new generation of “old people” think they will never die due to modern advances in medicine.

With many young people unemployed or frustrated in lowlevel positions, there are often calls to compulsorily retire older workers. However, this can affect the older individual's freedom and right to work and can deprive (剥夺) society of valuable experience and insights. I feel that giving workers more flexibility and choice over their retirement age will benefit society and the individual.

【1】What is the purpose of this passage?

A.To explain the compulsory age limit.

B.To discuss the retirement age.

C.To examine people's working life.

D.To introduce a particular stage.

【2】Which of the following is NOT a reason for allowing old people to continue working according to the passage?

A.Their contributions should be valued.

B.Their experience should be made use of.

C.They can help the youngsters.

D.They are loyal employees.

【3】It can be inferred in the fourth paragraph that ________.

A.the young people have more creative spirits

B.modern advances in medicine make old people never die

C.pensions and freedom are not given to the old now

D.old people believe that a younger person could do better

【4】The passage is arranged as follows:________.
