There is a large desert between our village and Hope Town and there are two ways to get to Hope Town. One is short but dangerous;the other is long but 1 Many people have lost their lives in order to get to Hope Town 2 .

   “We’ll have to plant young trees in the desert between Hope Town and our village to make a ‘ road ”” said the head of our village. A few days later,a “tree road” 3 .

   But soon all the young trees died out in the hot sun. “The dry trees are still helpful; we can regard them 4 our road signs ,” said the head, “Every time we walk along them,pull them upward 5 they can't be covered with sand. ”

   6 the head's advice,the villagers have shuttled (往返) between our village and Hope Town safely for several years.

   One day when a businessman wanted to 7 the desert to Hope Town,some villagers told him the advice.

   “Anyway,I walk past here only for this time,8 doesn’t matter with me to pull the dry trees upward or not ,” the businessman thought. When he reached the half-way point,a heavy sandstorm was blown,in no time most of the dry trees 9 . The poor businessman got lost!When he was dying,he was regretful,10 I had done as the villagers told me,I could find a way out. ”

   To leave others a way is to leave yourself a way!

1. A. safe   B. dangerous   C. fast   D. wide

2. A. later   B. slower   C. sooner   D. safer

3. A. planted   B. finished   C. was planted   D. was finished

4. A. to   B. as   C. for   D. toward

5. A. so that   B. in order to   C. by the way   D. so far

6. A. Thanks for   B. Thanks to   C. Such as   D. As for

7. A. through   B. across   C. cross   D. past

8. A. it   B. this  C. that   D. they

9. A. appeared   B. disappeared   C. died   D. moved

10. A. When   B. How     C. What      D. If

1. A 2. C 3. D 4. B 5. A 6. B 7. C 8. A 9. B 10. D

本文借一位商人過(guò)沙漠的故事向我們說(shuō)明了這樣一個(gè)道理:給別人留一條路，就是給自己留一條路。

1. A 由前一句 “ One is short but dangerous ” 可知，此處與 dangerous意思相反，故答案為A項(xiàng)。

2. C lost their lives 意思是“喪命”，前面提到了“One is short but dangerous”，由此可知他們是走了近路，這樣可以快 一點(diǎn)到達(dá)希望之鎮(zhèn)，所以答案為C項(xiàng)。

3. D前面說(shuō)村長(zhǎng)發(fā)動(dòng)村民種植出一條tree road,所以這條路應(yīng)該是“被完成”，答案為D項(xiàng)。

4. B regard. ..as...的意思是“把……看作……”，是固定詞組。

5. A從村民們修tree road的目的來(lái)看，他們把dry trees向上 拔一點(diǎn)是為了不讓這些樹(shù)被沙子埋住，所以此處應(yīng)當(dāng) 是“為了”，in order to也有此意，但它后面應(yīng)當(dāng)跟動(dòng)詞原形，故應(yīng)排除。

6. B村民們能夠在兩地之間安全行走好幾年，其功勞應(yīng)當(dāng)歸功于村長(zhǎng)的建議。

thanks to意為“幸虧，由于”； thanks for意為“感謝……”；such as意思是“例如”；as for意思是“至于”。所以，A、C和D項(xiàng)均不符合句意。

7. C此處意為“穿過(guò)”，從句子結(jié)構(gòu)上看，to是動(dòng)同不定式符號(hào)，三個(gè)選項(xiàng)中只有C項(xiàng)是動(dòng)詞，其他為介詞。

8. A 從句子結(jié)構(gòu)上看“to pull the dry trees upward or not”是真正的主語(yǔ)，所以其形式主語(yǔ)要用it來(lái)充當(dāng)。

9. B由于沙塵暴刮起，所以大多數(shù)干樹(shù)都消失了，由此可知答案為B項(xiàng)。

10. D商人在臨死時(shí)很后悔，他說(shuō):“如果我按照村民們告訴我的去做的話，我就會(huì)找到出去的路�！庇纱丝芍颂� 應(yīng)當(dāng)是假設(shè)，故D項(xiàng)最恰當(dāng)。

巧用排除法解題

   在有些情況下，如果不能很有把握地直接得出某 一道題的答案，可以把排除法和同匯、語(yǔ)法分析結(jié)合 起來(lái)運(yùn)用，排除搭配上或形式上等明顯錯(cuò)誤的選項(xiàng)， 縮小選擇的范圍,提高正確率。

   例如，第5題主要考查詞組的用法,in order to后 面接動(dòng)詞原形，by the way通常用于在交談中插入話 題，這兩項(xiàng)是明顯錯(cuò)誤的，可以先排除。再繼續(xù)分析 I as far的用法，也可以排除，得出正確答案為A.

   Do you love taking photos with a camera? People who always take photos may actually be harming their memory,because they’re not concentrating on the event itself.

   “People so often take out their cameras almost mindlessly (不費(fèi)心思地) to catch a moment,and they are missing what is happening right in front of them ,” said Linda Henkel,from the university. Henkel and her team decided to perform an experiment. They wanted to find out whether taking photos in a museum weakened a visitor's memory of what they had seen. So they simply told a group to look around the museum,and either take photos of the items on display,or try to remember them. The next day,the group was tested.

   People who took photos in the museum were less likely to remember what they had seen. In addition,the amount of detail they remembered was worse than those who didn't take photos. “These results show how the mind's eye and the camera's eye are not the same,” said Henkel.

   But don't put your camera down just yet. Other studies have found that looking back at old photos helps us remember an event,compared to just taking a photo and forgetting about it. So next time you’re thinking of taking a photo,just think： is it better to look at the beauty around you with your own eyes,or behind the eye of the camera?

1. When we take photos,we .

   A. fail to focus on the event itself

   B. can't record the details

   C. remember what we have seen

   D. are likely to have a poor memory

2. The underlined word “weakened” in the passage probably means “”.

   A. 支持   B. 撫養(yǎng)

   C. 增強(qiáng)   D. 減弱

3. Which of the following is TRUE about the experiment?

   A. It aimed to learn what people were interested in at the museum.

   B. They asked a group to take photos of everything in the museum.

   C. People who didn't take photos did better in the experiment.

   D. People who took photos in the museum could remember more details.

4. Where can we probably read this passage?

   A. The entrance of a museum.
