The first attempt of even the most talented artists, musicians, and writers is seldom a masterpiece. If you consider your drafts as dress rehearsals (彩排), or tryouts, revising will seem a natural part of the writing ___21___.
What is the purpose of the dress rehearsals and the out-of-town previews that many Broadway shows go through? The answer is adding, deleting, replacing, reordering, __22___ revising. Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical Phantom of the Opera underwent（經(jīng)歷）such a process.
When Lloyd Webber began writing in 1984, he had in mind a funny, exciting production. However, when Phantom opened in London in 1986, the audience saw a moving psychological love story set to music. The musical had ___23___ several revisions due to problems with costuming andmakeup (戲服和化妝). For instance, Lloyd Webber ___24___ some of the music because the Phantom's makeup prevented the actor from singing certain sounds.
When you revise, you change aspects of your work in ___25___ to your evolving(不斷演變的) purpose, or to include ___26___ ideas or newly discovered information.
Revision is not just an afterthought that gets only as much time as you have at the end of an assignment. ___27___, it is a major stage of the writing process, and writers revise every step of the way. Even your decision to ___28___ topics while prewriting is a type of revising. However, don't make the mistake of skipping the revision stage that follows training. Always make time to become your own __29__and view your dress rehearsal, so to speak. Reviewing your work in this way can give you ___30___ new ideas.
Revising involves __31__ the effectiveness and appropriateness（恰當）of all aspects of your writing, making your purpose more ___32____, and refocusing or developing the facts and ideas you present. When you revise, ask yourself the following questions, keeping in mind the audience for whom you are writing: Is my main idea or purpose ___33__ throughout my draft? Do I ever lose sight of my purpose? Have I given my readers all of the __34___; that is, facts, opinions, inferences --- that they need in order to understand my main idea? Finally, have I included too many___35___ details that may confuse readers?

小題5:考查介詞短語辨析，介詞短語in addition to表示“而且、除…之外還有”，in opposition to表示“與...的意見相反”，in contrast to表示“與...形成對比”，都與本題不符。in response to（作為對┄的反應）在本句表示“你修改作品是對你想改進作品目的的一種回應”選B。
小題6:考查形容詞辨析，fresh ideas 與后面的newly discovered information對應。選D本題難度適中。
小題7:考查副詞辨析，副詞Moreover（而且）類似與but also表遞進含義，與前面句not just（only）呼應。副詞However（然而，表轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系）、Instead（作為替代、反而，表相反含義）、Therefore（因此，表原因）都不符題意。B本題難度適中。
小題8:考查動詞辨析，switch topics（變換標題）屬于修改作品的一部分。動詞discuss（討論）、exhaust（汲干、使筋疲力盡）、cover（覆蓋、包含）都不符題意。B本題難度適中。
小題9:考查名詞辨析，，名詞audience（觀眾）與下句view your dress rehearsal對應。名詞director（導演）、master（主人、大師）、visitor（來訪者）都與題意不符。選C。
小題10:考查形容詞辨析，形容詞valuable表示“做自己作品的觀眾能給你有價值的新信息”。形容詞personal（個人的）、basic（基本的）、delicate（嬌貴的、纖弱的、精美的）都與題意不符。選B。
小題11:考查動詞辨析，，動詞mix在本句表示“修改就是把作品所有方面的有效性和適當性融合在一起”。選A
小題12:考查副詞：A. specifically專門地B. freshly新鮮地C. swiftly快速地D. loosely松散地，更加具體的制定目標，選A。
小題13:考查形容詞辨析，形容詞clear在本句表示“我的文章大意或?qū)懽饕鈭D是否清晰”，與下文confuse readers對應。形容詞amazing（令人驚訝的）、bright（明亮的、聰明的）、unique（獨特的）都與題意不符。選D。
小題14:考查名詞辨析，后句名稱facts、opinions、inferences都屬于information，與上句newly discovered information對應。C本題難度適中。
小題15:考查形容詞辨析， unnecessary details表示“多余的信息”反而使讀者困惑、誤導讀者。uninteresting（單調(diào)的、乏味的）、concrete（具體的）、final（最終的、決定性的）都與題意不符。選A。
點評：修改是作品寫作過程中非常重要且必須的步驟。文章講敘了作品修改的目的和途徑。文章是有些難度的，但文章層次分明結(jié)構(gòu)嚴謹，立足語篇，側(cè)重通過上下文信息考查考生的綜合運用英語的能力，注重語篇的理解，學生平時要培養(yǎng)自己駕馭語篇的能力，培養(yǎng)自己根據(jù)語篇綜合運用英語的能力。

Mark Twain is a name not usually connected with Broadway(百老匯), but now his play “Is He Dead” will receive its first public performance on November 29.
“Is He Dead” was written by Mark Twain in 1898 but was never performed. It was rediscovered in 2002 by Shelley Fisher Fishkin, an English professor and director of the American Studies Program at Stanford University. It was published the following year by the University of California Press.
The story is about a group of poor artists who fake the death of their friend in order to increase the value of his work.
“Is He Dead” is set in France in the 1840s and centers on the French painter Jean-Francois Millet. “Millet was probably the most popular European painter in the United States in Twain’s lifetime,” Fishkin said in a telephone interview. “Americans greatly admired him because he focused on the life of the common man and the common woman.”
According to Fishkin, “Is He Dead” is a satire(諷刺) about how value is created in the art world. Twain wrote the play when he was coming out of the hardest time of his life.
小題1:What’s “Is He Dead” about?
A．The death of a poor artist in the 1840s.
B．A trick played by a group of poor artists.
C．A story about the French painter Jean-Francois Millet.

小題2:From the second paragraph we learn that ______.
A．the play was one of Mark Twain’s early works
B．no one knew the play until 2002
C．Fishkin is an expert on Mark Twain’s works
D．the play was published in 2002

A．he was a famous French painter at that time

For over one hundred and fifty years, Americans of all social classes have worn blue jeans.  小題1:  Whether they are worn for work or for fashion today, Strauss’ invention continues to be popular not only among Americans but also among people around the world.
Levi Strauss was born in Germany in 1829.     小題2:   He grew up in Kentucky before moving to New York in 1847. Before becoming an American citizen and moving to the West in 1853, Strauss worked in his brother’s dry goods business. This gave him a chance to produce his famous invention. After the gold rush of 1849, Strauss decided to move to the West to seek his fortune.
Strauss did not want to be a person who searched an area for minerals. Instead, he knew he could make a good living by selling supplies to the miners. At first, he planned to sell sewing supplies and cloth.     小題3:  When he heard miners complaining that their clothes were easily broken or they usually tore their pockets during mining, he decided to use a special fabric to make pants for the miners. These pants proved so popular that he quickly ran out of materials to make more.
In 1873, Strauss received a letter from a Jewish tailor named Jacob Davis who had invented a process of connecting pockets with copper rivets(鉚釘). This made the pants last a long time. Because Davis did not have the money to patent his idea, he offered to share it with Strauss if Strauss would agree to pay for the patent.    小題4:  
By the time Strauss died in 1902, he had made a great contribution to American fashion.
 小題5:  The business has been growing ever since and Levi Strauss' company is now one of the largest clothing companies in the world.
A．As a young boy, he moved with his family to the United States.
B．Nobody knew what kind of material was suitable.
C．He did and Levi jeans have been made with metal rivets ever since.
D．However, he did not get much business for those products.
E. He also made a great contribution to America's clothing industry.
F. Since they were invented by Levi Strauss, they have become a symbol of American consumer culture.
G. As the business grew, Strauss got much money from it.

Online clothes shoppers will be told exactly what size is best. for them using new software which combines with their web camera or smart phone to form a“3D tape measure”.
Scientists from Surrey University and design experts from the London College of Fashion are developing a program which can take precise (精確的) waist, hip, chest and other measurements from camera images.
Using the person’s height as a starting point，the software will be able to build up a 3D image and estimate their size at various different points on the body, based on their overall proportions.
The result will be a more accurate sizing guide than previous systems based on waist size or a “small／medium／large”scale, which rely on limited measurements and the buyer’s perception of their own body size.
Shoppers and retailers(零售商)who choose to sign up for the project could save millions of pounds a year in postage costs by removing the need to order multiple sizes of the same garment(服裝) and send back ill-fitting clothes, researchers claimed.
The project, sponsored by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council(EPSRC), is expected to be brought to market within two years.
After choosing an item, the shopper will activate the software, enter their height, stand in front of their webcam or smart phone in their underwear and take a photograph.
The software will not store or transmit the image to the internet, but will use it to judge the person’s dimensions at various points on their body.
Philip Delamore of the London College of Fashion said：“The potential benefits for the fashion industry and for shoppers are huge. Currently, it’s common for online shoppers to order two or three different sizes of the same item of clothing at the same time, as they’re unsure which one will fit best.”
小題1:What is the essential part of a 3D tape measure?
A．a(chǎn) software B．a(chǎn) webcam
C．a(chǎn) microphone D．a(chǎn) smart phone
小題2:What can we learn about the 3D tape measure?
A．It will store or transmit the image to the internet.
B．It is based on the buyer’s perception of their size.
C．It will be a co-working production.
D．It uses a person’s weight as a starting point.
小題3:Compared with the traditional sizing system, a 3D tape measure is_______.
A．quicker B．more precise
C．more beautiful D．more vivid
小題4:How can the 3D tape measure benefit online shoppers?
A．Online shoppers will get their ordered garment in time.
B．Online shoppers will get their ordered garment more quickly.
C．Online shoppers will get an ordered garment of high quality.
D．Online shoppers will get an ordered garment to their measure.
小題5:What is the right order for a shopper to form a 3D tape measure?
①to take a photo with a webcam
②to activate the software
③to enter his／her height
④to judge his size by analyzing his image
A．①②③④B．②①③④C．②③①④D．②③④①

Nuclear­powered aircraft carriers are considered one of the most important marine weapons in the 20th century. So far, only two countries in the world, the USA and France, have ever produced them. But these fearful fighting machines are about to enter Asia.
The US Navy said last month that one of its nine nuclear­powered aircraft carriers will be sent to Japan to replace the diesel(柴油)­powered carrier Kitty Hawk in 2008. In an agreement on October 30, the two countries also planned to level up their military (軍事的) cooperation and the USA called for Japan to take a larger role in alliance (聯(lián)盟)military moves.
It will be the first time that a nuclear­powered carrier is based in Japan. Bombed by US forces in World War Ⅱ at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan is the only world country to have been attacked by a nuclear weapon. Therefore, the citizens are highly sensitive to where nuclear­powered weapons are based.
“A radiation leak at Yokosuka would kill 100,000 people as far away as Tokyo, and could cause billions of dollars in damage，” said Masahiko Goto, leader of a protest group in Yokosuka. His group has collected more than 300,000 signatures of people across Japan opposed to the nuclear carrier.
The 44­year­old Kitty Hawk, the US Navy's oldest active ship, has been based in Yokosuka since 1998. It had returned to the US to be decommissioned(廢棄核武器) in 2008. The new carrier will travel faster, be capable of supporting longer operations and carry with it the Navy's most modern technology.
Experts pointed that this change is not only to strengthen the US­Japan military alliance but also to keep the military power of China and North Korea within limits. However, even Japanese experts don't believe that the two countries are threats to the region.
“There is no need for Japan to have a nuclear carrier as defense，” said Tetsuo Maeda, an international relations professor at Tokyo International University. He said that the change of ship indicates an increased military capability in the region, much more than what is needed.
小題1:With such a powerful weapon to enter its country, Japanese citizens ________.
A．a(chǎn)re aware of its benefits to the country
B．a(chǎn)re anxious about its potential danger
C．a(chǎn)re curious about the advanced technology
D．a(chǎn)re against where the carrier will be based
小題2:The replacement of the aircraft carrier is intended to________.
A．set up a kind of base in Japan
B．strengthen the US­Japan military alliance
C．show Japan's greater military capability
D．get rid of the dated marine weapon
小題3:From the story, we learn that________.
A．no other countries except the USA and France possess aircraft carriers
B．Japan has long planned to increase its military capability with new weapons
C．Japan will be the first country in Asia to have a nuclear aircraft carrier
D．Japan will be the third country to produce a nuclear­powered aircraft carrier
小題4:By his remark in the last paragraph, the professor means that________.
A．he is quite confident of their military defense
B．he is completely opposed to a new nuclear carrier
C．what is needed is far more than a nuclear carrier
D．it is unnecessary to guard against the two countries

Some British and American people like to invite friends for a meal at home. You should not be upset if your English friends don't invite you home. It doesn't mean they don't like you! Dinner parties usually start between 7 and 8 p.m., And end at about 11. Ask your hosts what time you should arrive. It's polite to bring flowers, chocolates or a bottle of wine as gift. Usually the evening starts with drinks and snacks. Do you want to be extra polite? Say how much you like the room, or the pictures on the wall. But remember---- it's not polite to ask how much things cost. In many families, the husband sits at one end of the table and the wife sits at the other end. They eat with their guests.
You'll probably start meal with soup or something small, and then you have meat of fish with vegetables, and then desert, followed by coffee. It's polite to finish everything on your plate and have more if you want it. Did you enjoy the evening? Call your host and hostess the next day, or write them a short "thank you" letter. British and American people like to say "thank you, thank you, thank you" all the time!

A．means you are not welcome f or some bad manners
B．means he or she doesn't like you for some unknown reasons
