Cathy Martin is a hurricane hunter with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). For six months each year, she is part of a team that collects 1 she describes as “vital data, to save life and property.”

When winds pick up, 2(spin) toward the Caribbean and U. S. coastline, Martin and 3(she) flight team spring into action.

They use instruments called dropsondes, which 4(set) free from a tube at the back of the plane. As a dropsonde makes its 10,000-foot landing into the sea, it sends out information about air temperature, pressure, humidity, and the speed and 5(direct) of the wind.

On an eight-hour flight, Martin’s team 6(typical) drops 15 to 20 dropsondes while flying from one side of the storm 7 the other, trying to cover as much ground as possible. They head for the center (or eye) of the storm, 8 there’s no wind, and also search for the strongest winds, to help people on the coast prepare for what’s coming. Sometimes, they will use an unmanned aircraft 9 (gather) data closer to the ocean's surface.

Though these flights can be long, 10(tire) and often last several days in a row, Martin likes her job and wishes she could fly every day.

【答案】

1what

2spinning

3her

4are set

5direction

6typically

7to

8where

9to gather

10tiring

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了Cathy Martin 以及她的团队是如何收集数据预测飓风的。

1考查连接词。句意:每年有六个月的时间,她是一个团队的成员,这个团队收集她所说的“重要数据,以拯救生命和财产”。本句为宾语从句,因为从句中缺少宾语,指代事物,故填what

2考查非谓语动词。句意:当风力增强,向加勒比海和美国海岸线旋转时,马丁和她的飞行团队立即行动起来。本句已经存在谓语动词且句中没有连词,故spin只能作非谓语动词与逻辑主语wind是主动关系,故填现在分词作状语,故填spinning

3考查物主代词。修饰名词flight team使用形容词性物主代词,故填her

4考查动词时态语态。句意:他们使用一种叫做下投式探空仪的仪器,这种仪器从飞机后部的管子中释放出来。主语是dropsondes与谓语动词构成被动关系,结合上下文使用一般现在时,主语为复数名词,故填are set

5考查名词。句意:当探空仪降落在10000英尺的海面上时,它会发出有关空气温度、压力、湿度以及风速和风向的信息。根据上文名词并列结构the speed and可知,应填名词,故填direction

6考查副词。句意:在8小时的飞行中,马丁的团队从风暴的一边飞到另一边时,通常会放下1520个探空仪,试图覆盖尽可能多的地面。修饰动词drop应用副词,故填typically

7考查介词。固定短语from…to…“从……到……”,故填介词to

8考查定语从句连接词。句意:他们前往风暴中心(或风眼),那里没有风,也寻找最强的风,帮助沿海地区的人们为即将到来的风暴做好准备。本句为定语从句修饰先行词center,且在定语从句中作地点状语,故填关系副词where

9考查非谓语动词。句意:有时,他们会使用无人驾驶飞机收集更接近海洋表面的数据。本句为不定式to do作目的状语,故填to gather

10考查形容词。句意:虽然这些飞行时间很长,也很累,而且常常会持续好几天,但马丁喜欢她的工作,希望她能每天都飞。根据上文系动词be可知,应填形容词作表语,修饰物,故填tiring

定语从句的关系词的选择可考虑以下三点:

(1)一看先行词的意义,即分清先行词是指人、指物、时间、地点还是原因(如指物时不能用whowhom,指人时通常不用which)

(2)二看关系词的句法功能,即分清关系词是担任什么句子成分,是作主语还是宾语、是作定语还是状语等(如作定语通常用whose,有时也用which;作状语要用when, where, why)

(3)三看定语从句的种类,即分清是限制性定语从句还是非限制性定语从句(thatwhy通常不引导非限制性定语从句)

如第八小题,句意:他们前往风暴中心(或风眼),那里没有风,也寻找最强的风,帮助沿海地区的人们为即将到来的风暴做好准备。本句为定语从句修饰先行词center,且在定语从句中做地点状语,故填关系副词where

【题目】 How to say hello in Japanese depends on(取决于) when you say it. This is very much like different greetings used in English at different times of the day or night. In Japanese culture, it also depends on whether you are on the phone or meeting somebody or whether you are close to the person you are greeting. We don’t get formal with our close friends. We seldom greet them with “Good morning “ or “Good evening”. A “Hi” is enough.

Although the most popular and most well-known translation for “Hello” is still “Konnichiwa”, it is not exactly how to say hello in Japanese. It is not the most suitable word for it. Actually, the correct greeting in English for “Konnichiwa” is “Good day” or “Good noon,” and I am sure you wouldn’t like greeting people with a “Good day” at any time, and neither do Japanese like saying “Konnichiwa” when they want to say “Hello”.

So what to do? Let’s do it the way the Japanese do. Use “Ohaiyo Gozaimasu” for “Good morning”, “Konnichiwa” when it’s noon and “Konbanwa” to greet somebody in the afternoon. Things differ when you are on the phone. Just say “Moshi, Moshi”, which is actually similar to saying “Hello” over the phone, because one hardly ever uses “Good morning” or “Good evening” right after picking up the phone. Next time, I’ll tell something about my life in Japan.

1What is the best title for this passage?

A.How to greet close friends in Japanese.B.How to greet people in Japanese.

C.Some difference between English and Japanese.D.How to say hello in Japanese.

2Japanese people greet each other by saying “______” in the afternoon.

A.KonnichiwaB.Ohaiyo GozaimasuC.KonbanwaD.A.Moshi, Moshi

3In the writer’s opinion,______.

A.Japanese people don’t like using “Konnichiwa” as a greeting for the whole day.

B.people don’t need to be polite to their close friends

C.Japanese people are very friendly to each other

D.Japanese culture is similar to American culture

4We can learn from the passage that the writer_______.

A.lived in Japan for some timeB.is working in a radio station now

C.knows both Japanese and ChineseD.is from Britain

【题目】 For hundreds of years, Japan has been hit, from time to time, by tsunami(海啸), which is caused by earthquakes or underwater volcanoes. The story of the boy Yuuki is the story of such a disaster.

Yuuki lived with his family in a seaside village, below a small mountain. One day, as he played on top of the mountain, Yuuki felt a small earthquake but it was not strong enough to frighten anybody. Soon after, however, Yuuki noticed the sea darken and begin running away from the shore very fast, leaving behind wide areas of beach that had never been seen before.

Yuuki remembered reading that just before a terrible tsunami, the sea suddenly and quickly rolls backward. He ran to the beach, warning the villagers who had gathered to admire the new beach land.

But no one listened. They laughed at him and continued playing in the new sand.

Desperate, Yuuki could think of only one thing to do. He lit a tree branch, raced to the rice fields and began burning the harvested rice. Then he called out, “Fire! Fire! Everyone run to the mountain! Now!”

When everyone reached the mountain top, a villager cried out, “Yuuki is mad! I saw him set the fire.” Yuuki hung his head in shame, but said nothing as the villagers screamed at him.

Just then, someone shouted, “Look!”

In the distance a huge dark wave of water was speeding towards the shore. When it hit the shore, it destroyed everything.

On the mountain everyone stared at the village ruins in terror.

“I'm sorry I burned the fields,” said Yuuki, his voice trembling.

“Yuuki,” the village chief answered. “You saved us all.”

The villagers cheered and raised Yuuki into the air. “We were going to celebrate our rice harvest tonight,” said one, “but now we’ll celebrate that we’re all still alive!”

1Where was Yuuki when the earthquake struck?

A.On the beach.B.On the mountain.

C.In the rice fields.D.At home.

2In what order did the following events take place?

a. Yuuki ran to the rice fields.

d. The village was in ruins.

e. The people were screaming at Yuuki.

A.c, b, d, a, eB.a, c, d, b, e

C.c, b, a, e, dD.a, c, d, e, b

3How did Yuuki save the villagers from the disaster?

A.He told them about the earthquake.

B.He explained why the sea was flowing out.

C.He told the village chief to warn the people.

D.He set fire to the rice field.

【题目】 One very cold November morning William, who was a 20-year-old college student then, climbed on the edge of Waterloo Bridge in London.
