1.
A.up and down ward
B.back and forth
C.to and from
D.forth and to
A B C D
B
[解析] 根据文章信息可猜测,文章描述的是Nancy的新剧第一次上演前、中、后Nancy的心理变化。新剧第一次上演Nancy心理肯定很紧张,因此选B。pace back and forth意为“来回踱步,踱来踱去”。up and down ward“上上下下”;to and from意为“往返”,一般距离比较远。
2.
A.was about to begin
B.was begin
C.has begun
D.began
A B C D
A
[解析] 整篇文章的时态都为过去时,因此此处应选表示过去的某种时态。前一句讲Nancy在剧院入口处踱来踱去,因此推测下一句意为:在剧院中,她的新剧“A Laugh A Minute”将要上演,用过去将来时,选A。
[解析] hear sb. do sth.强调听到某人做某事的全过程,不符合语境。hear sb. doing sth.意为“听到某人正在做某事。”aloud adv.作“大声地”解释时,主要与call,shout,cry等连用。loud adv.意为“响亮地,高声地”,侧重发出的音量大,传得远,一般多用来修饰speak,talk,laugh等动词。loudly adv.意为“响亮地”,常与ring,knock等动词连用,含有“喧闹”或“嘈杂”的意味。因此选C。
[解析] decide和the future of the play之间为逻辑上的动宾关系,因此用被动语态。此处用被动语态的过去完成时表示“人们的离开已经决定了戏剧的命运”。
第三节:阅读理解 阅读下面的短文,从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中,选出最佳选项 The last part of this century will be an age of space exploration such as man has never known. There are eight planets, at least thirty moons, and thousands of small stars to be explored. Their total area is about 250 times that of the earth. Spaceships will not be able to land on some of them. But that still leaves to be explored an area ten times as great as the continents of the earth. Exploring space may seem terrifying to some people. No doubt explorers of the past were terrified by the great empty oceans that lay before them. They conquered their fears, crossed the oceans, and built the new world. In the past when explorers set sail into the unknown, they had to say good-bye to everyone they knew at home. Space explorers will not face such great loneliness. Even when they travel far away from the earth, they will be able to send messages back.

D. H. Lawrence was born in a working class family in 1885 when England was at the full development of its industry. His father was a coal-miner, so they knew what it was like to be poor. But her mother struggled hard to help her children get better than their father. Lawrence became a teacher, and so escaped the mining world of his father. But he never forgot it. He wrote many stories about the miner's family, including his most famous novel "Sons and Lovers", which is a portrait of Lawrence's own life. Many of his stories and novels are on men who work down the mines. He once said of the men in the coal-mines: "Here in this terrible hell, the men are most happy." He meant the comradeship of the miners, the fact that they lived simply, without wishes for power, without money, without wealth.

6. 把下面短文画线部分翻译成中文。 There has sprung up a heated discussion as to whether firecrackers should be banned in the cities. Although a good few people dismiss it as sheer nonsense, I think that it reflects a sensible attitude towards the issue of firecrackers. (1) As a traditional way to celebrate the New Year, setting off firecrackers is justifiably welcomed by most Chinese people. For it can add to the festival atmosphere and offer an outlet for people's pleasure and excitement. It is also believed that it will bring good fortune in the coming year. But these so-called merits are often offset by its undesirable effect. (2) For example, setting off firecrackers makes a tremendous noise and causes serious air pollution. (3) Sometimes the quantities of fly ash, smoke and carbon are too great for local environments to disperse rapidly. Setting off firecrackers is seen not merely as a nuisance, but also as a big threat to man's life and property: every year there are many fire accidents and heavy casualties that are reported to be caused by it. (4) True, to change a custom is not easy, and people are not ready for such drastic actions, but it will pay in the long run if the setting off of firecrackers is effectively banned in the cities. (5)
1. Jeremy Harmer提倡课堂语言教学三个基本要素,即:投入(engage),学习(study),运用(activate),请分别谈谈三者的含义。
Jeremy Harmer提出了外语课堂教学必备的三个要素分别为投入(engage)、学习(study)和运用(activate),简称ESA。 投入就是通过不同的活动和方法如游戏、音乐、讨论等引起学生对所学语言材料的兴趣,给学生以学习动力,促使学生积极参与课堂活动。 学习就是通过课堂活动而不是单纯的句型讲解与操练使学生掌握语音、词汇、语法等语言知识。教师应指导学生将重点放在语言信息点及语言的结构上。 运用是指通过设计练习和活动,让学生自由地运用所学语言知识。教师在课堂中应给学生提供一个尽可能真实的语境,鼓励学生运用所学语言知识,通过各种活动如角色扮演、辩论、讨论等达到真正用英语进行交流的目的。

2. 以Which is more important, work or money?为题,写一篇120~150词的小作文。
[参考范文]
Which is more important, work or money?
Which is more important, work or money? When coming to this question, most people may choose the latter by claiming that without money, one even cannot survive in this modern world. Surely, money plays an important part in human's everyday life. However, I think work is more important. It is true that the purpose of working is to make money. But what I want to say is that one should work as if he didn't need money rather than work unhappily for a higher salary. In other words, he should find a job that he is interested in. If he loves his job, he can pay much energy to do it. He will be excellent sooner or later in his job field. Eventually, he will succeed with a good position and a higher salary. That is a win-win relationship.
