這篇短文講述的是全世界的水資源是非常短缺的,很多國家每天每個人的用水量非常的少,還有的國家需要從別的國家買水。因此我們需要節(jié)約用水,短文中給我們介紹了日常生活中節(jié)約用水的一些方法。

1句意:獲得水是如此的容易以至于你可能認為水的供應(yīng)是無止境的。fun 有趣的;easy 容易的;important重要的;necessary必要的。根據(jù)上句話Turn on the tap (水龍頭) and the water comes out可知,打開水龍頭,水就出來了,所以獲取水是很容易的。故應(yīng)選B。

2句意:地球表面70%覆蓋著水,但是大部分水都是咸水,只有一小部分的新鮮飲用水。so所以,因此;but但是;though盡管;because因為。根據(jù)句意可知,地球上水很多,但大多都不能飲用,因此兩句話之間是轉(zhuǎn)折的關(guān)系,故應(yīng)選B。

3句意:一些國家包括意大利、西班牙和南非甚至從其他國家買水。countries 國家;cities城市;towns城鎮(zhèn);villages村莊。根據(jù)空后舉的這些例子Italy, Spain and South Africa可知,這都是一些國家,故應(yīng)選A

4句意:然而在一些國家每個人每天只用510升水。almost幾乎;also也;only只,僅僅;even甚至。根據(jù)空后的5-10 liters of water可知,這里強調(diào)每個人每天的用水量很少,故應(yīng)選C。

5句意:讓我們看看你能幫上什么忙。when 什么時候;how怎樣;why為什么;where在哪里。這里考查賓語從句,根據(jù)文意可知,下文介紹了我們應(yīng)該怎樣做來節(jié)約用水,所以這里的意思是“如何去幫上忙”,故選B

6句意:我們每天刷兩次牙,當我們刷牙的時候把水龍頭關(guān)掉,我們就能節(jié)約510升水。need需要;should應(yīng)該;can能;must必須。根據(jù)句意可知,當我們這樣做的時候,我們就能節(jié)約水,故應(yīng)選C。

7句意:不要把廁所當作廢紙簍。for 為了,因為;from來自,從;of…的;as作為。這里考查固定搭配use…as…用作,故應(yīng)選D

8句意:每次你沖用過的紙、浪費的食物或小垃圾的時候,就用去了更多的水。less更少的;more更多的;better更好的;worse更差的。根據(jù)句意可知,沖洗這些垃圾會用掉更多的水。故應(yīng)選B。

9句意:利用雨水。rain雨,下雨;time時間;technology技術(shù);imagination想象。根據(jù)下文Collect rainwater in water buckets可知,這個建議是收集雨水,故應(yīng)選A

10句意:或者給自己設(shè)置一個挑戰(zhàn),減少洗浴時間12分鐘。cut up切碎;cut off切斷;cut out切去,省略;cut down砍倒;削減。根據(jù)文意可知,短文介紹的都是節(jié)約用水的方法,因此這里是縮減洗澡的時間。故應(yīng)選D。

這篇短文介紹了我們在日常生活中如何節(jié)約用水。文章主題明確,結(jié)構(gòu)清晰。短文是總分的結(jié)構(gòu),第一段從水資源的短缺入手,引出文章的主題;然后從四個方面給我們提了建議。題型是完型填空,考查學(xué)生們在具體語境中運用語言的能力,綜合性較強。做題時,應(yīng)先通讀短文,了解大意,注意文章首段首尾句,文章的主題句常常出現(xiàn)在這些地方;然后根據(jù)上下文的語境做題,先易后難,注意辨析選項中單詞的意思和用法;最后再讀一遍短文,檢查答案是否正確。例如第2小題,考查連詞辨析,so所以,因此;but但是;though盡管;because因為。根據(jù)句意可知,地球上水很多,但大多都不能飲用,因此兩句話之間是轉(zhuǎn)折的關(guān)系,故應(yīng)選B。再如第9小題,考查名詞辨析,rain雨,下雨;time時間;technology技術(shù);imagination想象。根據(jù)下文Collect rainwater in water buckets可知,這個建議是收集雨水,故應(yīng)選A。

【題目】Normally people have various feelings. Shyness(害羞) is one of them. It means feeling frightened when you are around other people. Some children were born shy. Some become very shy later because of life experience. In fact, everyone gets a little shy sometimes. It depends on how shy you are. If shyness doesn’t stop you from doing something you want to do, being shy isn’t a big problem.

Scientists say that shyness generally begins during childhood. Most of the time, shyness is caused by people’s worry about what other people think of them, so shy people often find it very difficult to meet new people. This fear has bad effects on their work life, social life and love life. The following suggestions may be helpful for shy people.

Find ways to relax when you go out .When you are old enough, consider drinking a glass of wine before going out for the night. Talk with your friend or family member to help yourself calm down.

Look best when you go out. Wear something that makes you feel confident and comfortable. Listen carefully when people speak. Shy people sometimes think that meeting new people means having to do a lot of talking. You can ask simple questions and then be a good listener. People love to feel like other people are listening to them and sharing their point of view.

Build your confidence and change your attitude(態(tài)度) towards meeting new people instead of worrying about how they will think of you, and think about what are good points you hope to find in the new person you will meet.

Try these suggestions if you do feel very shy. Hopefully you can enjoy your life better.

【題目】閱讀填空

What do you think being beauty really means? All answers to that question are correct, because there are no right or wrong replies. Despite(不管) what society tries to make us believe, there is no “ideal” beauty. There are exact standards—hair colour, or eye colour—that make someone beautiful. Think about it: did you consider someone to be really beautiful, but your friend didn’t see it? That’s because what’s attractive to one person isn’t necessarily going to be attractive to another. So how can we believe that there’s a standard for beauty? It makes no sense.

Weight-loss companies and clothing industries seem to have made it their goal to get us believe that we are not enough and that we need all kinds of things to be prettier. It’s not true! Companies sell us this ideas for their products to make money. I’m not saying that buying beauty products is bad, but what would be bad is using them because you feel like you have to look a certain way in order to be “beautiful”.

Remember, the people wear tons of make-up and are photoshopped in order to look perfect. When you see a girl who society considers as a “great body”, you have to remember that people have different body types and everyone’s body is different. We’re all beautiful, whether we’re slim, thickset or anywhere in between. If you want to lose weight, go ahead, but do it in a healthy way and do it for the right reason—not because you want to fit in. Being comfortable with yourself is really important, and being with others who accept you as you are and don’t ask you to change to look a specific(特定的) way is important too.

Beauty standards

What being

beautiful means

●It’s not 1 to give an answer to the question.

●One’s beauty cannot be decided by exact standards.

●People have 2 ideas about beauty.

Social factors

●Weight-loss companies and clothing industries 3 our ideas about beauty for the sales of their products.

●It’s bad to use products in order to fit in with a certain standard.

4

●People have different body types and each of us has our own beauty.

●It’s OK to lose weight but remember to do it 5.

●It’s important for you to accept the way you are and spend time with people who don’t ask you to change the way you look.
