【解析】

這是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章主要介紹英國(guó)的煎餅節(jié),以及最有名的活動(dòng)煎餅比賽。

1句意:但是你知道英國(guó)有一個(gè)節(jié)日叫做煎餅節(jié)么?

called稱(chēng)為,叫做;celebrated慶祝;thought認(rèn)為,想;taken帶走。根據(jù)“Pancake Day”可知是對(duì)前面“a holiday”的稱(chēng)呼,用動(dòng)詞過(guò)去分詞作后置定語(yǔ)。故選A。

2句意:這個(gè)節(jié)日很多年前就開(kāi)始了,而且它通常在三月份。

finished完成;started開(kāi)始;happened發(fā)生;spent花費(fèi)。根據(jù)“many years ago”判斷此處表示起源,用動(dòng)詞started表示很多年前開(kāi)始。故選B

3句意:然而,那一天最有名的活動(dòng)是煎餅比賽。

at在某個(gè)時(shí)刻;from從;in在……里面;on在……時(shí)候。根據(jù)“that day”可知前面用介詞on表示在那一天。故選D。

4句意:在英國(guó)的一些鄉(xiāng)村和城鎮(zhèn),煎餅比賽每年舉行。

takes place發(fā)生,舉行;has有;holds抓,拿;carries攜帶。根據(jù)主語(yǔ)“pancake race”可知此處表示活動(dòng)的舉辦,用動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)takes place。故選A。

5句意:傳統(tǒng)意義上,這是一個(gè)女性們的比賽。

boys男孩們;girls女孩們;women女性們;men男人們,人們。根據(jù)后文的“Housewives”以及“With the first bell the women made their pancakes”可知此處表示傳統(tǒng)意義上煎餅比賽是一項(xiàng)女性的比賽。故選C

6句意:比賽開(kāi)始之前鈴響兩次。

once一次;twice兩次;first第一;second第二。根據(jù)后文“With the first bell”“With the second bell”可知鈴響了兩次。故選B。

7句意:第二次鈴響他們開(kāi)始跑,手里拿著煎餅鍋,鍋里放著一個(gè)做好的煎餅。

walking走;jumping跳;going 去;running跑。根據(jù)后一句“While running the race”可知此處用running表示跑。故選D

8句意:當(dāng)跑步的時(shí)候,他們每個(gè)人必須把煎餅投擲三次然后用煎餅鍋接住它。

catch接。toss扔,拋;throw扔;cook烹飪。根據(jù)前面的“toss the pancake”可知此處用catch it back表示接住煎餅。故選A。

9句意:如果煎餅掉了,跑步者必須撿起來(lái)然后再投擲。

throw it away把它扔掉;pick it up把它撿起;give it up放棄它;eat it up把它吃完。根據(jù)“fell down”可知此處用pick it up表示把掉落的煎餅撿起來(lái)。故選B。

10句意:每個(gè)人,不管是男性還是女性,年輕人還是老人,都能從中得到樂(lè)趣。

feel sorry about感到歉意;be afraid of害怕;be scared of害怕;get fun from從中得到樂(lè)趣。根據(jù)第二段“celebrate the day with fun games”可知通過(guò)比賽大家玩得開(kāi)心并從中獲得了樂(lè)趣,用get fun from。故選D。

【題目】 People have had illnesses and doctors have tried to c1them since the beginning of time. In the past, because of people's little knowledge of m2theytried some cures which were really strange and h3 . Take a4 Egyptians for example, those with t5 didn't use to see the dentist. Instead, they put a dead mouse in their mouth and left it there for s6 hours. People suffering from backache often have much p7 , because a vertebra is not in the right p8 . In those days, the patients in Greece were t9 to a ladder which was p10 up high and then dropped to the ground. It was expected to help the vertebra go back into place. Unbelievable, isn't it?

People have been showing great interest in lost cities and mythical ones. In the summer of 1848 in Guatemala, Ambrosio Tut and the l11 governor found a Mayan city in the j12 , where temples, pyramids, squares and houses were built and kings had lived when the Mayans r13 the region. When the lost city was found again, people went there to see it at once. Some people have been looking for Atlantis, which was said to be a l14 island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Thanks to the natural r15 on the island, people there were very rich. They lived s16 lives for hundreds of years. But slowly they became g17 and wanted p18 . So the gods decided to d19 Atlantis. All of a sudden, the island and its people were s20 by the sea and were never seen again.

【題目】 Everyone loves toys. But do you know how a toy is designed and produced? A visit to Yottoy, a toy company in New York, can show you how to do this. Yottoy produces toys that are based on children's books. These toys include Paddington Bear, Little Prince and Mary's Little Lamb.

Peter Doodeheefver, who designs the toys, took us around his shop to see how the toys are created.

We visited a sewing station. People there were busy sewing some toys together. Later, we saw another station where a woman was painting pieces of a Paddington Bear toy set. Here, we leared how they use clay(黏土)and molds(模具 to create toy parts, The molds are painted to look like characters from children's books.

Throughout the toy-creating process, the creators keep in touch with the writers of the books. They need to make sure the toys perfectly match the images the writers describe in their books. Sometimes changing the color of the fabric or the length of the arms can take the toy more accurate. It can be something as simple as making the hole in a doughnut just a little hit bigger or making the eyes look smaller.

Once their toys are created, they send them to a lab for safety tests. At the lab, they make sure all the parts are put together perfectly. For example, they make sure the eyes can't be removed by a baby, or that piece of the toys won't fall off. After the lab says the toys are ready, they can be sold.

1What is the purpose of this article? within 10 words

2What are the toys produced by Yottoy based on?

3A sewing station is a piace where_____.

4Why do creators keep in touch with the writers of the books?

5What is the last step before the toys can be sold?

【題目】 I have just been to the opening ceremony for a new exhibition of early French photographs. Some of them are really beautiful. A French photographer made some very interesting comments about them. Then I went to look at some of my favorite exhibits: a photograph by Lewis Carroll, who wrote the Alice series and also loved cameras and photography, and the Baker’s Boy, a very interesting picture from the 1860s.

There is so much to see. And the museum has three historic firsts: the world’s first negative(底片), the first moving picture and the first shots taken for television.

Before I show you around, let me just tell you something about the museum. The National Museum of Photography, Film and Television was first set up in 1983. We have three million different items in different categories(類(lèi)別). We store a lot of our collection in special rooms to keep it safe, but there is still a lot to see. We are the most visited museum in the UK outside London. We attract over a million visitors a year, and most of them report that they really enjoyed their visits.

Take the train. It’s very easy. Just go through the city centre square outside the museum and it’s a three-minute walk to Forster Square Station. By the way, before you leave, take a look at the gift shop. It’s rather special. It’s rather great. The kids are loving it.

There will soon be a new attraction here. We will open Experience TV. It will be really interactive. Visitors will be able to use the equipment and go in front of the camera to read the news or present the weather. It will be great fun and very educational.

We have many treasures. There is the Talbot Collection. He was one of the inventors of photography and we have his pictures, letters and notebooks. And we have all the photos taken for a newspaper which was popular from 1912 until the 1960s. Researchers keep on finding new things in it.

1We can find three firsts in Paragraph_____________ .

A.2B.3C.5D.6

2What does the underlined word “I” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
