This afternoon I went to see my grandfather by a bus. It was very crowded and I had to stand. Besides me there was a woman held a little boyin her arms. In front of her, a young man occupies two seats, pretending to be sleeping. I heard the little boy curious asking his mother, “What’s wrong with the uncle?” I had thought if perhaps the woman would blame the man. Beyond her expectations, the woman answered with a smile, “Be quiet. This uncle must very tired because of hard work.” The young man must haveheard the word. His face turned red and offered one seat for the woman at once.

試題分析:本文敘述了作者在一次在公交車上看見的一幕,車上人多,有許多人由于沒有座位而站著,而在作者的前面有一個婦女抱著一個小男孩,小男孩看見了一位年輕的男士一個人占著兩個座位在那里裝睡,當(dāng)這位年輕人聽到這位婦女說這位叔叔是由于太勤苦太勞累了,他于是就主動把座位讓給了這位婦女。
by+表交通工具的名詞是固定用法。表交通工具的名詞前不用冠詞。 所以bus前也不用冠詞。
Besides意為:而且;Beside 意為:在......的旁邊。在此應(yīng)該理解為:在我的旁邊有.......。
there be +名詞做主語,主謂結(jié)構(gòu)完整。holding a little boy是現(xiàn)在分詞短語作后置定語。表示和woman 是邏輯上的主謂關(guān)系。意為:有一個抱小孩的婦女。
在In front of her, a young man occupies two seats,中 occupies作謂語,應(yīng)該和整篇文章的時態(tài)保持一致。全文都是過去時,這里也應(yīng)該用動詞的過去式形式。
在英語中習(xí)慣用副詞修飾動詞,所以要用curiously 來修飾 heard。
分析句子: I had thought if perhaps the woman would blame the man. 看到 thought后是一個賓語從句,在賓語從句中if 意為是否,而這里不需要,故去掉或者改為that也可以,that作賓語可以省略。
Beyond... expectations, 根據(jù)上下文判斷,應(yīng)該是出乎我的預(yù)料,而不是她的。
must be very tired,表示肯定推測,一定很累。must是情態(tài)動詞,后要求用動詞原形而tired 是形容詞,所以需要加be動詞符合英語的習(xí)慣。
word 是不可數(shù)名詞,消息;words 是可數(shù)名詞,那些話。結(jié)合語境,應(yīng)該是年輕人聽到了那些話更合適。
offer sth to sb 是固定搭配,意思是:提供某事給某人。
考點:短文改錯。

“Mama, when I grow up, I’m going to be one of those!” I said this after seeing the Capital Dancing Company perform when I was three. It was the first time that my dream took on a vivid form and acted as something important to start my training. As I grew older and was exposed to more, my interests in the world of dance certainly varied but that little girl’s dream of someday becoming a dancer in the company never left me. In the summer of 2005 when I was 18, I received the phone call which made that dream a reality: I became a member of the company dating back to 1925.
As I look back on that day now, it surely lacks any sense of reality. I believe I stayed in a state of pleasant disbelief until I was halfway through rehearsals (排練) on my first day. I never actually expect to get the job. After being offered the position, I was completely astonished. I remember shaking with excitement.
Though I was absolutely thrilled with the chance, it did not come without its fair share of challenge. Through the strict rehearsal period of dancing six days a week, I found it vital to pick up the material fast with every last bit of concentration. It is that extreme attention to detail (細(xì)節(jié)) and stress on practice that set us apart. To then follow those high-energy rehearsals with a busy show schedule of up to five performances a day, I discovered a new meaning of the words “hard work.” What I thought were my physical boundaries were pushed much further than I thought possible. I learned to make each performance better than the last.
Today, when I look at the unbelievable company that I have the great honor of being a part of, not only as a member, but as a dance captain, I see a tradition that has inspired not only generations of little girls but a splendid company that continues to develop and grow-and inspires people every day to follow their dreams.
【小題1】 How many years has the Capital Dancing Company existed when the author received the phone call from it?
A.180 | B.1925 | C.2005 | D.80 |
A.strange | B.unrealistic | C.indifferent | D.lucky |
A.Though I was excited, I should share the chance with others. |
B.Though I was excited, it’s fair to share the chance when there is challenge. |
C.Though I was excited, it’s a challenge for me to share the chance with others. |
D.Though I was excited, I know clearly where there is chance there is challenge. |
A.The company values practice most. |
B.The company extremely focus on intelligence. |
C.The company has an inherited tradition of inspiring its members break their limits. |
D.The company sets the members apart in order to extremely stress detail and practice. |

Talking behind someone’s back is considered to be rude and mean. Such a conversation can cover all kinds of criticism, from their looks to their work and personality.
The other day at lunch I was with a group of colleagues, and we were talking about our boss. She is the new headmaster of our middle school.
We talked about how kind she is to us. She handwrites notes to wish us happy holidays or to thank us for jobs well done. She checks on us when she knows we’re facing difficulties outside school with our health or with our families. We talked about the good role model that she is for the young women in our school and the fair but firm way she treats students and parents.
I thought about this after lunch. Sometimes we have the good fortune to be part of another kind of “talking behind someone’s back”. And too often when we say something good about someone behind their backs, they never know about it! That night, I sent her an email to report the conversation. She replied by saying how much she appreciated hearing about this, and how it made a bright spot in a tough week of testing.
Watch for your next opportunity to be the reporter! Make sure you tell them about the nice things said behind their backs! Because how will they know unless we tell them?
【小題1】What do you conclude from the text the writer might be?
A.A student | B.A teacher | C.A parent | D.A boss |
A.Conversations about others | B.Rude and mean talking |
C.Kinds of conversations | D.Talking behind someone’s back |
A.Don’t talk behind others’ back |
B.Talking behind others’ back is rude |
C.Do tell the person about the nice things said behind his back |
D.There is no one who never talks behind someone’s back |

British Summer Time runs from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October. In the depths of winter the nights in the UK are anything from 15-19 hours long. Longer nights mean frost and fog are more likely to form.
Twice a year the clocks change, forward in the spring and then back again in the autumn. But why? It happens twice a year. We all change our clocks and watches by one hour. In the spring, we add an hour, and go onto what is called British Summer Time, while in the autumn, we do the reverse, and return to Greenwich Mean Time.
Why bother?
It’s all to do with saving the hours of daylight, and was started by a guy called William Willett, a London builder, who lived in Petts Wood in Kent. Basically, he figured that you could improve the population’s health and happiness by putting forward the clocks by twenty minutes every Sunday in April and do the opposite in September.
Economics
His idea was not taken up, even though a “Daylight Saving Bill” was introduced some five years before the outbreak of World War One. But once the war started, it was considered wise to economics, to promote greater efficiency in using daylight hours, and in the use of artificial lighting. And so in 1916, “Daylight Saving Time” was introduced. Even though most countries abandoned this after that war, some eventually decided that it was a good idea, and most of these nations began to keep it throughout the year.
Experiment
Since 1972, Britain has decided to go with Greenwich Mean Time in winter, and British Summer Time in Summer.
But back in 1968, Britain tried a four-year experiment by advancing time one hour ahead of GMT throughout the year.
But those living further north, particularly in Scotland, found it most unsatisfactory, with dark mornings for much of the year, and the experiment was dropped.
But the arguments go on …and on.
1.Why some countries decide to change the clocks after World War One?
A.To improve the people’s health and happiness.
B.To do a certain experiment
C.To save energy to develop economies.
D.All of the above.
2.What can you infer from the passage?
A.The idea of changing the clocks suffered disagreement.
B.The people in Scotland don’t change the clocks.
C.The idea was first thought of by an educator.
D.It’s unnecessary to change the clocks.
3.What is the real meaning of the last sentence of the passage?
A.Nobody in the UK likes the idea.
B.All things need arguments.
C.The British are fond of arguments.
D.Different views of the idea still exist.

Most of the people who appear most often and most gloriously in the history books are great conquerors (統(tǒng)治者) and generals and soldiers, while the people who really helped civilization forward are often never mentioned at all. We do not know who first set a broken leg, or launched a seaworthy boat, or calculated the length of the year, or manured (施肥)a field; but we know all about the killers and destroyers.
People think a great deal of them, so much that on all the highest pillars (紀(jì)念柱)in the great cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general or a soldier. And I think most people believe that the greatest countries are those that have beaten in battle the greatest number of other countries and ruled over them as conquerors. It is just possible they are, but they are not the most civilized. Animals fight; so do savages(野蠻人); so to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in which an animal or a savage is good, but it is not to be civilized. Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and telling them how to do it most efficiently — this, after all, is what conquerors and generals have done — is not being civilized. People fight to settle quarrels. Fighting means killing, and civilized peoples ought to be able to find some ways of settling their disputes other than by seeing which side can kill off greater number of the other side, and then saying that the side which has killed most has won. And not only has it won, but, because it has won, it has been in the right. For that is what going to war means; it means saying that power is right.
This is what the story of mankind has on the whole been like. Even our own age has fought the two greatest wars in history, in which millions of people were killed or mutilated (disabled). And while today it is true that people do not fight and kill each other in the streets — while, that is to say, we have got to the stage of keeping the rules and behaving properly to each other in daily life — nations and countries have not learnt to do this yet, and still behave like savages.
1.In the opening sentence, the author indicates that .
A.most history books were written by conquerors, generals and soldiers
B.history book tell us far more about conquerors, generals and soldiers than actual creators of civilization
C.those who rally helped human civilization forward is not mentioned in history books at all
D.conquerors, generals and soldiers should be least mentioned in history books
2.According to the passage, most people believe that the greatest countries are those that .
A.built the highest pillars for their conquerors
B.were ruled by the greatest number of conquerors
C.won the greatest number of battles against other countries
D.were beaten in battle by the greatest number of other countries
3.In the author’s opinion, the countries that conquered a large number of other countries are
.
A.certainly both the most powerful and most civilized.
B.neither the greatest nor the most civilized in any way.
C.possibly either the most civilized or the most powerful in a way.
D.likely the most powerful in some sense but not the most civilized.
4.The meaning of the last sentence in Paragraph 2 is that .
A.fighters believe that the winner is right and the loser wrong.
B.only those who are powerful have the right to go to war.
C.those who are right should fight against those who are wrong.
D.only powerful nations might win the right to rule weak ones.

A Narrow Escape
Shortly after the war, my brother and I were invited to spend a few days’ holiday with an uncle who had just returned from abroad. He had rented (租) a cottage in the country, although he hardly spent much time there. We understood the reason for this after our arrival: the cottage had no comfortable furniture in it. Many of the windows were broken and the roof leaked (漏水), making the whole house wet.
On our first evening, we sat around the fire after supper listening to the stories our uncle told of his many adventures in distant countries. I was so tired after the long train journey that I would have preferred to go to bed; but I could not bear to miss any of my uncle’s exciting stories, He was just in the middle of describing a rather terrifying experience he had once had when there was a loud crash(倒塌聲) from the bedroom above, the one where my brother and I were going to sleep.
