密A
London—A morning's train rides away, across the Channel. English kids talk about 号the Liver-pool's soccer team in a Paris pub.
不场考Some Parisians have even started to go to work in London.
In the 19th century, Charles Dickens compared the two great rival cities, London and Paris, in A Tale of Two Cities. These days, it might be A Tale of One City.
订 Parisians are these days likely to smile in sympathy at a visitor's broken French and respond in polite English.
装 号As jobs grew lacking at home over recent years, perhaps 250,000 Frenchmen 证考moved across the Channel. With an undersea tunnel, they could travel between cities in 准three hours. The European Union freed them from immigration and customs.
只 Paris, rich in beauty, is more attractive, but London feels more full of life, and more fun until the pubs shut down.
卷 “For me, the difference is that London is real, alive,” said Trevor Wheeler, a 名banker.
姓 Chantal Jaouen, a professional designer, agrees, “I am French, but I'll stay in 此 London,” she said.
There is, of course, the other view, Julie Lenoux is a student who moved to London two years ago. “I think people laugh more in Paris,” she said.
级班
In fact, London and Paris, with their obvious new similarities, are beyond the old descriptions. As the European Union gradually loosened controls, Londoners flocked into Paris to shop, eat and buy property.
“Both cities have changed beyond recognition,” said Larry Collins, a writer and sometimes a Londoner.
Like most people who know both well, he finds the two now fit together comfortably.
“I first fell in love with Paris in the 1950s, and it is still a wonderful place,” Collins said.
“But if I had to choose, it would be London. Things are so much more ordered, and life is better, but certainly not cheaper.”
In fancy parts of London, rents can be twice those on Avenue Foch in Paris. Deciding between London and Paris requires a lifestyle choice.
Like Daphne Benoit, a French journalism student with perfect English, many young people are happy to be close enough so they don't have to choose.
“I love Paris, my little neighborhood, the way I can walk around a center, but life is so structured,” she said. “In London, you can be who you want. No one cares.”
1.The best title for this passage is “________”. A.Londoners and Parisians B.A Modern Tale of Two Cities C.The Similarity of Two Cities D.Fancy London and Fashionable Paris
2.The underlined word “flocked” in the passage probably means “________”. A.came in large numbers B.flew a long way C.rushed hurriedly D.drove a long distance
1
3.Living in Paris, you may find ________. A.life is better B.things are cheaper C.a job easily
D.more attractive people
4.We can infer from the text that ________. A.Paris and London have become perfect partners B.London feels more full of life C.life in London is structured
D.Paris and London have become fierce competitors 【答案】1-4 BABA 【解析】
1.标题判断题。文章用大量的篇幅对伦敦和巴黎进行对比。对照19世纪狄更斯的小说《双城记》,本文可以被形象地称作“现代的双城记”。
2.词义猜测题。由上文“欧盟逐渐放松了控制”可推知,伦敦人成批地涌入巴黎去购物……,flock作动词,意为“聚结;成群结队地赶往”,与A项意思接近。
3.细节理解题。根据第十段第二句中的“... Londoners flocked into Paris to shop, eat and buy property”以及倒数第五段“But if I had to choose, it ... but certainly not cheaper.”可知在巴黎物价更低些。
4.推理判断题。两个城市之间的人互相往来,可以自由选择自己的生活方式,也有利于这两个城市的发展,所以说它们是很好的合作伙伴。
B
Government statistics recently showed that in the UK, more than 3,000 people a year experience electric shocks in their homes. A smaller number of people are killed after contacts with power lines outside the home. Electric shocks can cause a person's heart or breathing to stop, can also cause burns and are potentially fatal. It is essential for people to learn basic first aid techniques to deal with such emergencies.
What to do? If you are the first person to reach someone who has had an electric shock, don't touch him! If he is still holding the appliance (家用电器) that has given him a shock, unplug it or turn off the power at its source. Under no circumstances will you try to move the appliance with your hands! If you can't turn off the power, use a piece of wood, like a broom handle or a chair, to separate the victim from the appliance or the power source. You may even be able to do this with a folded newspaper.
The victim must remain lying down. If he is unconscious, the victim should be placed on his side. But he should not be moved if there is a possibility of neck or spine injuries unless it is absolutely necessary. It is essential to maintain the victim's body heat, so make sure you cover him or her with a blanket before you do anything else. If the victim is not breathing, apply mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (复苏). Keep the victim's head low until professional help arrives. If the electric shock has been caused by an external power line, the dangers to the victim and to anybody providing first aid are much greater.
5.What kind of passage is it? A.An advertisement. B.A horror story. C.A news report.
D.First aid emergency advice.
6.The underlined sentence “Under no circumstances will you try to move the appliance with your hands!” implies that ________.
A.you should move the appliance that caused it
B.you should pick up the appliance and turn off the electricity C.it is very dangerous to touch the appliance with your hands D.it is unnecessary to unplug the appliance with your hands 7.When a person has got an electric shock, you should ________.
2
A.separate the victim from the appliance and let him sit up B.keep the victim warm and help him breathe again C.move the victim onto his side if he has got neck injuries D.keep the victim's head high until professional help arrives 8.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Tips on providing first aid to electric shock victims. B.Tips on providing first aid to move the appliance. C.Tips on providing first aid to breath. D.Tips on providing first aid to victims. 【答案】5-8 DCBA 【解析】
5.句意猜测题。根据文章第一段可知,本文主要介绍了当人们受到电击后,我们应如何实施救助。由此可以推断出这是一篇关于紧急救助的建议的文章。
6.句意猜测题。根据文章第二段中的“If he is still holding the appliance (家用电器) that has given him a shock, unplug it or turn off the power at its source.”和第三段中的“If you can't turn off the power, use a piece of wood ...”可知,如果有人触电,应该拔掉插头或关闭电源;如果关闭不了电源,可以用木头,如:扫帚把或椅子,将人与电源隔离。结合常识可推知,这是因为如果直接用手触碰带电物体是很危险的。故正确选项为C。
7.细节理解题。由第四段第四、五句可知,如果有人受伤,应该为伤者保暖;如果伤者不呼吸,要对其进行人工呼吸。故选B。
8.主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句,并结合对全文的整体理解可知,文章主要讲解了如何对受到电击的人进行施救。故A正确。
二、七选五(每小题2分,共10分)
Colour is fundamental in home design—something you'll always have in every room. A grasp of how to manage colour in your spaces is one of the first steps to
creating rooms you'll love to live in. Do you want a room that's full of life? Professional? Or are you just looking for a place to relax after a long day? ____9____, colour is the key to making a room feel the way you want it to feel.
Over the years, there have been a number of different techniques to help designers approach this important point. ____10____, they can get a little complex. But good news is that there're really only three kinds of decisions you need to make about colour in your home: the small ones, the medium ones, and the large ones.
____11____. They're the little spots of colour like throw pillows, mirrors and baskets that most of us use to add visual interest to our rooms. Less tiring than painting your walls and less expensive than buying a colourful sofa, small colour choices bring with them the significant benefit of being easily changeable.
Medium colour choices are generally furniture pieces such as sofas, dinner tables or bookshelves. ____12____. They require a bigger commitment than smaller ones, and they have a more powerful effect on the feeling of a space.
The large colour decisions in your rooms concern the walls, ceilings, and floors. Whether you're looking at wallpaper or paint, the time, effort and relative expense put into it are significant. ____13____.
A.While all of them are useful. B.Whatever you're looking for. C.If you're experimenting with a colour.
D.Small colour choices are the ones we're most familiar with. E.It's not really a good idea to use too many small colour pieces. F.So it pays to be sure, because you want to get it right the first time.
G.Colour choices in this range are a step up from the small ones in two major ways. 【答案】9-13 BADGF
【解析】本文是说明文,介绍了家里设计房间颜色的时候尽管技巧很多,但做好三个选择就可以让房子有你想要的感觉。

9.根据空前的“Do you want a room that's full of life? Professional? Or are you just looking for a place to relax after a long day?”可知,B项“Whatever you're looking for”承接上文。
10.A项中的them指代上文中的different techniques和空后的they指代的内容相同。
11.上一段末尾提到要介绍三种颜色选择,最后两段分别介绍了medium colour choices和the large colour decisions,所以本段介绍第一种small colour choices。故选D项。
12.根据空后的“They require a bigger commitment than smaller ones, and they have a more powerful effect on the feeling of a space.”可知,这里讲述两个方面,这与G项中“in two major choices”相对应,选G。
13.上文中提到时间、努力和相应的费用付出是巨大的,F项“So it pays to be sure”与此照应。

14.根据上文“She wished to meet an enchantress...”可知,小女孩希望能遇到一个女巫,能把她的生活变成童话故事(fairy tale)。
15.由句意可知,有一天来了一个女巫,并告诉女孩可以实现(come true)她的一个梦想。
16.根据下文“She could not ____17____ just one.”可知,女孩认为自己所有的愿望都很重要(important)。
17.根据上文可知,女孩认为自己所有的愿望都很重要,所以她无法从中只选择(choose)一个愿望。
18.根据下文“she would help her realize one wish every day”可知,女巫说她可以帮助女孩每天实现一个愿望,由此推断这个女巫很善良(kind)。
19.由破折号后面的内容“now all her dream will become realities”可知,得知女巫可以帮助她每天实现一个愿望,女孩更加高兴(happier)了,因为,这样她所有的愿望就都可以实现了。
20.根据“with joy”可知,女孩自那天起每天早晨便满心欢喜、满怀热情(enthusiasm)地等候着。
21.根据“but”一词的转折意义可知,一天天过去,女孩的梦想都变成了现实,但不久她意识到这些梦想的实现(achievement)没有给她带来快乐和幸福。
22.快乐和幸福是女孩希望(hoped)得到的。
23.此处承接前面一句“Many wishes brought her disappointment”,这些愿望给她带来了失望,有些甚至(even)给她带来了痛苦。
24.根据下文可知,虽然她很满意(satisfied),但是她并不快乐。
25.女孩发现她并不需要(want)这些。
26.根据上文“Many wishes brought her disappointment,and some ____23____ a pain.”并结合下文“She was afraid to ____27____ every day,waiting for the realization of another wish.”可知,女孩发现自己不需要这些,不久便开始害怕(fear)梦想。

28.根据“crying”可知,女孩由于害怕而哭泣,请求女巫只实现(realize)一个梦想。 29.女孩想要实现的这一个梦想就是像她以前(before)那样活着,享受生活。 30.根据下文“She waved her magic wand and disappeared.”可知,女巫对女孩产生怜悯(mercy)之心,答应了她的要求。have mercy upon sb为固定短语,表示“同情某人,对某人有怜悯之心”。
31.下文讲女孩高兴的原因,应用because引导原因状语从句。
32.女孩很高兴,因为她知道现在她可以寻找一个大而有价值的(valuable)梦想。 33.根据上文“...she knew that now she would carefully seek for her one big ____32____ dream...”可知,女孩知道她现在要认真去追求一个大而有价值的梦想,而不是把时间浪费在短期、实际上(in fact)并没有必要的愿望上。
四、单句语法填空(每小题2分,共24分) 34.How are the wedding ________ (arrange) coming along? 【答案】arrangements
【解析】the wedding arrangements “婚礼安排”。由空格前的the及wedding可以作定语修饰名词可知应填所给词的名词形式,且根据系动词are确定用名词复数形式。 35.You are waiting at a wrong place. It is at the hotel ________ the coach picks up tourists. 【答案】that
【解析】句意:你等错地方了。长途汽车是在旅馆那里接游客。分析句子结构可知,这是一个强调句型。被强调部分为at the hotel,故设空处填that。
36.Our classroom ________ (furnish) with a new blackboard and a stove to keep warm
5
last month.
【答案】was furnished
【解析】由句意可知,our classroom和furnish之间为被动关系,故应用被动语态。由于时间状语是last month,故用一般过去时。
37.They had no time to arrange their own wedding, so they had it ________(organize) by a company. 【答案】organized
【解析】此处为“have+宾语+宾补”结构。it指代their own wedding,与动词organize之间为被动关系,故用过去分词作宾补。
38.When you quarrel ________ others or when you fail the exam, you may have a bad mood. 【答案】with
【解析】句意:当你与别人吵架时,或是当你考试不及格时,你都可能心情不好。quarrel with sb.为固定搭配,意为“与某人吵架”。故填with。 39.Another ________ (possible) is that we will go to Mexico instead. 【答案】possibility
【解析】another修饰名词或代词,所以填possible对应的名词形式。 40.This task ________ (accomplish) by great effort. 【答案】is accomplished
【解析】句意:这项任务是经过巨大努力才完成的。主语this task和accomplish之间是被动关系,设空处作谓语,且句子陈述一个事实,故填一般现在时的被动语态is accomplished。
41.The two players are well matched, ________(rough) equal in ability. 【答案】roughly
【解析】空格后的equal是形容词,应用副词修饰,故填roughly,表示“大致,差不多”。
42.________ is obvious that the young boy is glad to answer your question.
【答案】It
【解析】分析句子结构可知,此处应用it作形式主语,代替后面的that从句。 43.It is believed that the truth of the accident ________ (not clarify) so far. 【答案】has not been clarified
【解析】句中的so far 决定了该句应用现在完成时,因为“事实”还没有被澄清,故用现在完成时的被动语态。
44.After they settle ________, they immediately set out to work on their research. 【答案】down
【解析】settle down意为“定居下来,过安定的生活”,是固定短语。
45.Finding the door ________ (lock), little Tom had to wait for his parents outdoors. 【答案】locked
【解析】句中lock作宾语补足语,the door和lock之间是被动关系,故用过去分词形式。
