13. She is ______ a writer as a singer.
A.not so much

They can pick up new vocabulary, master rules of grammar and learn to write in the new language 1 quickly than others. Perhaps if we take a close look at these successful language learners, we may discover 2 of the techniques 3 make language learning easier for them. First of all, successful language learners are 4 learners. Instead of 5 for the teacher to explain, they try to find rules by themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues and form their own conclusions. When they guess wrong, they guess again. They try to learn from their mistakes. Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language; they 6 such a chance. They find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They will try their best to 7 with others. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things; they are willing to make 8 and try again. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn and think in the language than to know the meaning of every word. Finally successful language learners are learners with a(n) 9 . They want to learn the language 10 they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them.
[考点] 语法结构题 [解析] 分析句子结构可知,空处引导的是一个定语从句,修饰指物的先行词a few of the techniques,且空处在从句中作主语,所以应用关系代词which或that。whose在定语从句中作定语;how在定语从句中作方式状语;what不能引导定语从句,这三项均不符合题意。故选A。
[考点] 词义辨析题 [解析] 句意:他们会尽最大努力与他人交流。response:(n.)(口头的或书面的)回答,答复,常与介词to连用;tell:告诉,告知,常用于tell sb. sth.和tell sth. to sb.结构中;say:说,告诉,常用于say (sth.) to sb.结构中;communicate:(与某人)交流(信息或消息、意见等),沟通,常与介词with连用。根据句意和用法可知,故选D。
三、阅读理解 (在每小题给出的四个选项中,只有一项是符合题目要求的) Protecting the environment is basic public consciousness in the U.S. Street cleaners benefit from this consciousness; often, they needn't clean up the "battle field" after a big assembly. I was in Washington D.C. over Independence Day and thousands of people went to see the parade in the early morning. That day must have been one of the hottest in Washington. Street vendors were doing a brisk business in drink sales. Almost everyone held a bottle of Coke or some ice cream. After the parade ended and people left, I couldn't find any empty cans or wrappers. People left only their footprints. In Washington, aside from the buildings and roads, almost every inch of land is covered with the lush lawn. You can step on the lawns, too. There are even signs which say "You are welcome to sit here." So people do lots of things on the lawns, such as walking, playing ball, holding parties, and so forth. These lawns have become important places in the daily lives of Americans. Even though you can run, jump, sit, lie or even roll on the grass, you can't pollute it with litter. What would happen if someone were to drop litter in a public place? "It would stir public anger and denouncement," Sonia said, "People would look at you strangely as if you were an alien from outer space." At the same time, someone would quietly pick it up for you. Who wouldn't be embarrassed by such a scene?

Jane was walking round the department store. She remembered how difficult it was to choose a suitable Christmas present for her father. She wished that he had been as easy to please as her mother, who was always delighted with perfume. Besides, shopping at this time of the year was not a pleasant experience: people stepped on your feet or pushed you with their elbows(肘部), hurrying ahead to get a bargain. Jane paused in front of a counter where some attractive ties were on display. "They are real silk," the assistant tried to attract her. "Worth double the price." But Jane knew from past experience that her choice of ties hardly ever pleased her father. Jane stopped where a small crowd of men had gathered. She found some good quality pipes on sale. She did not hesitate for long: although her father smoked a pipe only once in a while, she knew that this was a present which was bound to please him. When Jane got home, with her small but well-chosen present in her bag, her parents were already having supper at the table. Her mother was excited. "Your father has at last decided to stop smoking," Jane was informed.

The main purpose of a resume is to convince an employer to grant you an interview. There are two kinds. One is the familiar "tombstone" that lists where you went to school and where you've worked in chronological order. The other is what I call the "functional" resume—descriptive, fun to read, unique to you and much more likely to land you an interview. It's handy to have a "tombstone" for certain occasions. But prospective employers throw away most of those unrequested "tombstone" lists, preferring to interview the quick rather than the dead. What follows are tips on writing a functional resume that will get read—a resume that makes you come alive and look interesting to employers. Put yourself first: In order to write a resume others will read with enthusiasm, you have to feel important about yourself. Sell what you can do, not who you are: Practice translating your personality traits, character, accomplishments and achievements into skill areas. There are at least five thousand skill areas in the world of work. Toot your own horn! Many people hesitate when asked to think about their abilities. Some think they have none at all! But everyone does, and one of yours may just be the ticket an employer would be glad to punch-if only you showed it. Be specific, be concrete and be brief! Remember that "brevity is the best policy." Turn bad news into good: Everybody has had disappointments in work. If you have to mention yours, look for the positive side. Never apologize: If you're returning to the work force after fifteen years as a parent, simply write a short paragraph (summary of your background) in place of a chronology of experiences. Don't apologize for working at being a mother; it's the hardest job of all. If you have no special training or higher education, just don't mention education.

Childhood obesity is a serious problem in the United States. Almost one-third of American children are overweight. Officials say the rate has tripled in teenagers and doubled in younger children since 1980. Many American children and teenagers eat unhealthy foods that are high in fat and sugar. They eat many meals at fast-food restaurants. They eat too many snacks between meals. They drink too many sugary drinks. And they do not exercise enough. In February, the First Lady Michelle Obama started a campaign to fight childhood obesity. Her campaign is called "Let's Move". It aims to teach children about better nutrition and the importance of exercise. Mrs. Obama says thirty million American children get the majority of their calories from foods they eat at school. The Obama administration is proposing to spend ten billion dollars over the next ten years setting nutrition rules for schools. Obesity is linked to many diseases, including diabetes. Treatments for these diseases cost the United States almost 150 billion dollars every year. Doctors say eating right and exercising should begin at a young age so that children will not grow into obese adults. Last spring, Michelle Obama and a group of students planted a vegetable garden on the South Lawn of the White House. Local students have been planting seeds, harvesting vegetables and learning about health and nutrition. The organic garden provides food for the First Family's meals and feeds hungry people in Washington. But Michelle Obama said the most important goal is to educate children about healthful, locally grown fruits and vegetables. In turn, the children will educate their families and communities. Mrs. Obama says her idea is not to ban fun foods from a child's life. But she wants to balance hamburgers and French fries with fresh fruits and vegetables.

20. You are most likely to read this passage in ______.
Bhutan was a poor country. People died at a young age. Most of its people could not read, and they did not know much about the outside world. Then, in 1972, a new ruler named King Jigme Singye Wangchuck decided to help Bhutan to become modern, but without losing its traditions. King Wangchuck looked at other countries for ideas. He saw that most countries measured their progress by their gross national product (GNP). The GNP measures products and money. When the number of products sold increases, people say the country is making progress. King Wangchuck had a different idea for Bhutan. He wanted to measure his country's progress by people's happiness. If people's happiness increased, the king could say that Bhutan was making progress. To decide if people were happier, he created a measure called gross national happiness (GNH). GNH is based on certain principles that create happiness. People are happier if they have health care, education and jobs. They are happier when they live in a healthy, protected environment. They are happier when they can keep their traditional culture and customs. Finally, people are happier when they have a good, stable government. Now there is some evidence of increased GNH in Bhutan. People are healthier and are living longer. More people are educated and employed. Twenty-five percent of the land has become national parks, and the country has almost no pollution. The Bhutanese continue to wear their traditional clothing and follow their ancient Buddhist customs. Bhutan has also become a democracy. In 2008, King Wangchuck gave his power to his son. Although the country still had a king, it held its first democratic election that year. Bhutan had political parties and political candidates for the first time. Finally, Bhutan has connected to the rest of the world through television and the Internet. Bhutan is a symbol for social progress. Many countries are now interested in Bhutan's GNH. These countries are investigating their own ways to measure happiness. They want to create new policies that take care of their people, cultures and land.
[考点] 推理判断题 [解析] 根据第一段前三句“Bhutan was a poor country. People died at a young age. Most of its people could not read, and they did not know much about the outside world.”可知,不丹是个贫穷的国家,人们年纪轻轻就去世了,大多数人不识字,而且他们对外面的世界了解不多。由此可推知,不丹过去是个贫穷又封闭的国家。故选B。

[解析] believe应译为“相信”;wasn't able to do anything应译为“束手无策”。故译文正确。
五、句子写作正误判断
1. There was(A) a very special teacher whom(B) made afar-reaching(C) difference in(D) my life.
A B C D
B
[解析] 应改为who/that。分析句子结构可知,teacher后是一个定语从句,修饰指人的先行词a very special teacher,且引导词在从句中作主语,所以应用关系代词who或that。whom在定语从句中作宾语,所以应把whom改为who或that。 翻译:有一位非常特别的老师,其对我的生活产生了深远的影响。
2. When there are older(A) people live(B) with you, you have to make(C) them safe and happy(D).
6. It was(A) nearly(B) ten o'clock when(C) the policeman walked the street(D).
A B C D
D
[解析] 应改为walked along the street/walked down the street。walk意为“走,行走”时,常作不及物动词使用,后面一般不能直接跟宾语,跟宾语时应在动词后面加上相应的介词。根据句意可知,此处表达的是“沿着街道走”,所以应把walked the street改为walked along the street或walked down the street。 翻译:当警察沿着街道走的时候,快十点钟了。
7. It might seem(A) as if(B) she planned(C) this meeting with(D) him.
8. In no(A) way I am(B) going to adopt(C) any of his methods(D).
A B C D
B
[解析] 应改为am I。当表示否定或部分否定意义的词或短语位于句首时,句子(或主句)应部分倒装,即将助动词、情态动词或be动词提到主语之前。分析句子结构可知,表示否定意义的短语In no way(决不)位于句首,句子应用部分倒装,应把be动词am提到主语I之前,所以应把I am改为am I。 翻译:我决不会采用他的任何一个方法。
9. Of course(A), those who(B) do not complain about(C) are never pitied(D).
A B C D
C
[解析] 应把about去掉。分析句子结构可知,those和are之间是一个定语从句,修饰先行词those,complain作从句的谓语。complain为不及物动词,complain about sth.意为“抱怨某事”,句中介词about后面缺少宾语,所以应把about去掉。 翻译:当然,那些不抱怨的人永远不会被同情。
10. I could not help(A) crying out(B) with surprise(C) and try hard to(D) understand.
A B C D
D
[解析] 应改为trying hard to。could not help doing sth.为固定用法,意为“忍不住(或无法抑制)做某事”。分析句子结构可知,and连接两个并列结构。再根据and前的crying可知,此处应用trying,所以应把try hard to改为trying hard to。 翻译:我不禁惊讶地叫了起来,并努力去理解。
11. He was expected(A) make(B) a fresh(C) start as an honest(D) man.
A B C D
B
[解析] 应改为to make。be expected to do sth.为固定用法,其中不定式(短语)作主语补足语,所以应把make改为to make。 翻译:人们期望他作为一个诚实的人重新开始。
12. It(A) should have rained(B) for a week and(C) the streets were flooded(D).
A B C D
B
[解析] 应改为had been raining。根据句意和后一分句中的were flooded可知,前一分句应用过去完成进行时,所以应把should have rained改为had been raining。 翻译:雨已经下了一个星期了,街道都被淹了。
13. Success and failure(A) in your work would depend, to some extent(B), on your ability to use(C) your strengths and weaknesses to the best(D) advantage.
A B C D
A
[解析] 应改为Success or failure。根据句意可知,此处表达的是“你工作的成功或失败”,应用并列连词or,所以应把Success and failure改为Success or failure。 翻译:你工作的成功或失败在某种程度上取决于你充分利用自己的优点和缺点的能力。
14. Welcome you to join(A) our company. Please reply(B) as sooner(C) as possible(D).
A B C D
C
[解析] 应改为soon。分析句子结构可知,第二句含有“as+形容词或副词的原级+as”结构,as soon as possible为固定短语,意味“尽快”,所以应把sooner改为soon。 翻译:欢迎你加入我们公司。请尽快回复。
15. Conversation(A) flowed(B) most enjoyable(C) in the little(D) group.
