試題分析：本題要求考生首先要明確每個單詞和短語的意思，特別是一詞多義。然后根據(jù)上下文的語義串聯(lián)選出合適的詞或者短語，要特別注意詞性和時態(tài)語態(tài)的變化。

1.1】 artists 名詞artist藝術(shù)家；句義：這讓這個國家的藝術(shù)家花了10年的時間才完成。

2. hopeless 句義：很多國王和王子都想娶Atlanta，當(dāng)他們聽說規(guī)則的時候，都知道他們沒有希望了。本句的關(guān)鍵在于連詞but表示上下文之間的轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，說明他們認(rèn)為自己沒有希望了。

3.goal 句義：我的目標(biāo)就是給人們通過高質(zhì)量的生活。本句中不定式在句中做表語，表示具體要做的事情。

4.came into being 固定搭配come into being形成，產(chǎn)生，出現(xiàn)；在人類出現(xiàn)之前，恐龍已經(jīng)在地球上生活了很多年。本句要注意的是時態(tài)。

5.attach 固定搭配attach importance to重視…；句義：他們中的很多人過于重視名利。

6.concerned about 固定搭配：be concerned about…擔(dān)心…；句義：如果你的朋友來到學(xué)校，很難過，你要告訴他/她你很擔(dān)心他。放學(xué)以后會和他好好地談?wù)劇?/span>

7. fluent 形容詞fluent流利的；通常用來修飾語言。

8.shortcoming 句義：我很喜歡我的妹妹王蓓，但是她又一個很大的缺點—她可能太固執(zhí)了。過于固執(zhí)正是人的一個缺點。所以使用名詞shortcoming。

9. injured 形容詞injured通常表示的是在事故里受傷。句義：去世和受傷的人數(shù)達(dá)到40多萬。本句的injured與killed形成呼應(yīng)。

10.10】. generous 形容詞generous慷慨的。根據(jù)第二句for which Elias was very grateful.可知Elias心存感激，說明Mandela花了很多時間幫助他，所以Mandela對于時間很慷慨。

The art of reading fiction is largely a matter of inferring meanings. To infer means to understand facts which are not directly stated---only suggested. Inference is one of the commonest ways of knowing things: a child holds his knee and cries; this action implies his feeling; an observer infers that the child is hurt. To infer accurately in everyday life requires caution in observing; to infer skillfully in fiction requires caution in reading; both require disciplined imagination.

The short-story reader can expect to find certain basic elements in any story. For example, all stories involve a person or persons, in a particular setting, faced with a demand for a response. The response called for may be a physical action, such as defeating an adversary(對手) or escaping from a danger; or it may be a mental action, such as adjusting to others or within oneself. In either case, the short story is a description in two ways: first, it shows the motives for a given human action; second, it makes a point about the general human situation. Such descriptions, however, rather than being stated directly, usually are implied by the elements of the story.

When the reader of a story understands all the facts and their interrelationships, he is ready to infer the significance of the story as a whole---its comment on the human situation. This comment, or theme, is the seed from which the story grew. It is also the idea by which all the separate elements of the story are governed, while these in turn further shape and modify the theme. In addition to action, character, and setting, these elements include structure, mood, tone, and point of view.

Fiction reading requires an awareness of all the ways in which a story communicates. It also requires attention to detail. What the author provides is a network of points which serve as clues to his meaning. He invites the reader to develop the meaning by inference, actually to create much of the story himself and so make it part of his own experience.

1.According to the author, "infer" means ________ .

A. knowing facts beyond the statement

B. looking for more evidences for the statement  

C. finding out a different meaning from the statement

D. adding some facts to the statement 

2.What is inferring in fiction based on?

A. Readers’ guessing.

B. The basic elements of the story.

C.  The setting of the story.

D. The interrelationships between people in the story.

3.What is the implied meaning of the last sentence?

A. Inferring can really help the reader develop imagination and enrich himself. 

B. Inferring can help the reader write a story of his own.  

C. The reader should look for an experience described in the story he reads.

D. The experience described in the story will leave a great impact on its reader.

4.What is the main idea of this passage?

A. Inferring is an art of writing.   

B. Inferring is a need in fiction writing.

C. Inferring is the basic skill in reading fiction.

D. Inferring is common in reading.

Do you ever wonder why the English have one word for some animals and a different one for their meat? Why do they use pig and pork, cow and beef, and sheep and mutton? To find it out, we have to go back to 1066, when the Norman French invaded England and put a French king on the English throne (王位), which not only changed the government but also changed the language. French became the language of the upper classes of society. And it remained that way for 300 years. Only these high society people could afford to eat meat. As a result, French words like porc (pork) and beouf (beef) came into the English language. However, poor English farmers raised the animals. So the English language retained the words pig and cow from the Native Anglo-Saxon.

The Norman French added about 10,000 French words to the English language. Seventy-five percent of them are still in use today.

In French grammar, nouns have either a male or female gender (性別), so adjectives (形容詞) take different forms for each. English has only one adjective that does this, and it came from French. The word “blond” describes someone with light-colored hair. “Blond” is used for men, and “blonde” describes women. And they are also nouns.

Some French words that entered the English language have taken on completely different meanings. The French phrase “a la mode” means “in style”. In English, the phrase means “with the ice cream”. Someone must have decided something eaten with ice cream was in style!

Now, as you learn English, you’re on your way to learning French!

1.French was once popular among the upper classes of the UK because_____.

A. too many French moved to Britain

B. French brought animals with them

C. the king and his officials spoke French

D. the king allowed French to be spoken

2.Which word can replace the word “retained” in Paragraph 1?

A. Chose B. Kept C. Introduced D. Give up

3.Why does an English speaker find French easy to learn?

A. Because English and French share similar pronunciations.

B. Because English grammar and French grammar are similar.

C. Because a large number of English words have French origins.

D. Because English has great influences on the French language.

4.French grammar is very different from English grammar because ______.

A. no words have the same pronunciation

B. all words have the same pronunciation

C. English nouns have a male or female gender

D. French nouns have different adjective forms

5.What conclusion can we draw from the text?

A. Language is closely related to history and culture.

B. French and English words have nothing in common.

C. Language is controlled by the upper classes of society.

D. English combines French and the Native Anglo-Saxon.

My grandmother often said to me, “You can count the number of your true friends on the fingers of one hand.” For a long time I thought this was true. However, I’ve now discovered my grandmother was only half right. Maybe we do only make a few “best” friends in our lifetime, but those aren’t the only people that we can call friends. There are many different types. Let me tell you about a few of them.

One type of friends is the type I call the “football mom friend”. My neighbor Sally is a good example. We both have kids who play football in a football club, and someone has to take them to practice and pick them up. Sally and I and two other mothers take turns to do this. We meet sometimes and have tea and talk about what our kids are doing, but those are the only times that we meet each other. I enjoy being with these women, but we don’t do anything else together.

Another type is called the “hobby friend”. That’s the person you share an interest or a hobby with. Michael and Cater, who are brothers, are a good example of this type. We’re all in a bird watching club. Every few weekends the members of the club go on a trip to watch different kinds of birds. There’s nothing romantic（浪漫的）about my relationship with Michael and Cater, of course. We just share interest in birds.

Then there’s the “other half of the couple” type of friends. Jim is married to Rose, a friend that I’ve known since college. When Rose married Jim, I realized that I would have to be Jim’s friend if I want to continue to be Rose’s. Jim and I don’t share so many interests, but we do have a friendly relationship.

1.What does the first paragraph tell us about?

A. We need true friends in our lifetime.

B. We have few best friends in our lifetime.

C. We should make new friends.

D. We must be friendly to all our friends.

2.Many people are mentioned in this passage. Who is the writer’s true friend?

A. Sally.B. Michael. C. Jim. D. Rose.

3.Which of the following statements is RIGHT?

A. Finally the writer agrees with her grandmother.

B. Michael and Cater both fall in love with the writer.

C. The writer herself sometimes takes her kid to the football club.

D. Sally and the writer are close friends.

4.How many types of friends are mentioned in the passage?

A. 2.B. 3.C. 4.D. 5

5.From the last paragraph we learn that ________.

A. the writer made friends with Jim only because of Rose

B. Jim was the writer’s good friend at college

C. Rose didn’t want the writer to be a friend of her husband

D. the writer made friends with Rose because of Jim

Sooner or later, most students are to take some form of English examinations. Often the more successful students are better prepared. However, sometimes students who do well have better test taking skills. These abilities really have nothing to do with understanding English better. They are skills that make taking the test easier, and therefore provide better results.

Here are some very important—and often ignored—guidelines to taking a test successfully.

Do not insist on completing each question before going to the next. This is extremely important. Remember one question may only be worth one point! You will become nervous when you fail to find out its answer, making you lose your concentration and leading to worse results. However, answering the questions you are sure you know results in your being more relaxed and feeling more confident.

Go through the test a second time working out the answers to more difficult questions. Sometimes questions asked are answered in later questions asking for different things.

Usually(but not always) a strong first impulse(沖動) means we know the answer and we don’t really have to think about it too much. Going back to think about it usually makes you unsure and often causes a mistake. This is very common, so be very careful!

If you don’t know the answer, write something. If you are answering a 4 possibility multiple choice question you will still have a 25% chance of being correct!

Taking a test is as much for you as is for your teacher, so never cheat. If you cheat, you don’t help yourself in the long run.

1.In the first paragraph, the writer stresses the importance of ______.

A. better preparations for exams.

B. better understanding of English.

C. better skills at taking exams.

D. better results of taking exams.

2.When taking an exam, you are advised ______.

A. to first answer the questions which are easier to you.

B. to depend on your first impulse to answer the questions.

C. to search the test paper for all the answers to the questions.

D. to give up the questions whose answers you don’t know.

3.It is common that many students______.

A. pay much attention to their testing skills.

B. often give up a difficult test halfway.

C. often get higher results by cheating.

D. don’t believe in their first impulse.

4.What would be the best title of the passage?

A. Effective Studying Methods.B. Effective Test Taking Skills.

C. Getting Better Exam Results.D. Being Successful Students.
