【解析】

本篇是一種對(duì)話式的短文。說話人A認(rèn)為英語(yǔ)很難,比如很多單詞讀音相似,但含義不同;有些單詞寫法相似,變化形式卻差異很大,因此而產(chǎn)生厭學(xué)情緒;說話人B以愛斯基摩語(yǔ)為例,闡明英語(yǔ)并非難學(xué)并且鼓勵(lì)說話人A學(xué)好英語(yǔ)。

1句意那是真實(shí)的。A錯(cuò)誤的;B真實(shí)的;C好的;D容易的。根據(jù)后文It isn’t the easiest language in the world. 可判斷本空同意上文“英語(yǔ)有時(shí)非常難”的說法,故填B項(xiàng)。

2句意他們聽起來(lái)相像但是有不同的含義。A拼寫;B寫;C項(xiàng)意為“聲音”或“聽起來(lái)…”;D項(xiàng)意為“看”或“看起來(lái)”。根據(jù)上文Think about “there” and “they’re” and “their” 可判斷所給三個(gè)詞讀音很相似,故選C。

3句意:ox的復(fù)數(shù)形式是oxen,但是box的復(fù)數(shù)不是boxen。A項(xiàng)為“盒子”的復(fù)數(shù)形式;B項(xiàng)為“盒子”的單數(shù)形式;C項(xiàng)是錯(cuò)誤的寫法;D項(xiàng)意為“復(fù)數(shù)”。前文闡述英語(yǔ)學(xué)起來(lái)很難,一種表現(xiàn)是有些詞讀音相似但是含義不同,第二種表現(xiàn)是oxbox都包含ox,但變復(fù)數(shù)規(guī)則卻不同。根據(jù)本句句意,故選C項(xiàng)。

4句意并且單詞“hard”可以意為“困難的”,也可以是“柔軟的”的反義詞。A“困難的”或“堅(jiān)硬的”,A項(xiàng)即是題干中的“hard”,故無(wú)法解釋清其含義;B“強(qiáng)壯的”;C“容易的”;D“困難的”。通過理解語(yǔ)境,可知本題答案選D。

5句意慶幸你沒有學(xué)習(xí)愛斯基摩人的語(yǔ)言。A項(xiàng)“喜歡”;B項(xiàng)“學(xué)習(xí)”;C項(xiàng)“生活、居住”;D項(xiàng)“離開”。根據(jù)后文“-為什么,愛斯基摩語(yǔ)比英語(yǔ)更難嗎?-是的”可判斷本空應(yīng)填B項(xiàng)。

6句意慶幸你沒有學(xué)習(xí)愛斯基摩人的語(yǔ)言。A“人”;B“國(guó)家”;C“語(yǔ)言”;D“意義”根據(jù)前文討論語(yǔ)言及后文問題:“-為什么,愛斯基摩語(yǔ)比英語(yǔ)更難嗎?-是的”, 可判斷本空應(yīng)填C項(xiàng)。

7句意你談?wù)摰氖?/span>“hard”的兩個(gè)不同詞義。A項(xiàng)“不同的”;B項(xiàng)“有趣的”;C項(xiàng)“相同的”;D項(xiàng)“英語(yǔ),英語(yǔ)的”根據(jù)前文所述“hard”的詞義有“困難的”和“堅(jiān)硬的”,可判斷本空應(yīng)填A項(xiàng)。

8句意一些愛斯基摩語(yǔ)的名詞擁有超過一千種意思。A帶來(lái);B某人或某物擁有”,強(qiáng)調(diào)事物的歸屬;C談?wù)?/span>;D項(xiàng)是There be句型表示“某地存在/…”。本題強(qiáng)調(diào)“某物擁有”,故選B。

9句意很高興我沒居住在阿拉斯加。A學(xué)習(xí);B抵達(dá);C帶走;D居住

A、C項(xiàng)為及物動(dòng)詞,無(wú)需加介詞,可直接加賓語(yǔ),本題題干中有介詞in,故A、C錯(cuò)誤;B、D均可以與in連用構(gòu)成固定短語(yǔ),arrive in“到達(dá)某地”;live in“居住于”,根據(jù)語(yǔ)境應(yīng)選D項(xiàng)。

10句意我認(rèn)為我不夠強(qiáng)壯去攜帶一本愛斯基摩語(yǔ)字典!A學(xué)習(xí);B查閱、抬頭看;C搬運(yùn),攜帶;D。上文提到有些愛斯基摩語(yǔ)名詞可能含有上千種含義,作者此處用暗諷愛斯基摩語(yǔ)復(fù)雜難學(xué),需要攜帶很厚的字典才能學(xué)懂,故選C項(xiàng)。

【題目】Do you know about DNA? Here is an introduction of it.

DNA is short for deoxyribonucleic acid. It contains genetic instructions. These instructions are used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms(有機(jī)體). That's to say that your DNA decides what you are like. Perhaps this is a little bit difficult for you to understand. Here is an example to explain it more clearly. Before you were born, your DNA had already decided you would have two hands and that each hand would have five fingers. Your_hands_would_help_you_hold_things_and_do_many_other_things.

However, DNA is more than that. We get our DNA from our father and mother. That is why we look like our parents and are not like others'. Also because of different DNA, Chinese people look different from Americans. Chinese people have black hair and eyes, but many Americans have blue eyes and blond hair. Though we have discussed many things about DNA here, there is still a lot more to know about it. If you would like to know more about DNA, you should go on the Internet. Perhaps the website will help you.

(1、2題完成句子;3題簡(jiǎn)略回答問題;4題寫下全文的主題句;5題將文中畫線句子譯成漢語(yǔ)。)
