【解析】

本文主要介紹了英式英語和美式英語之間的差別。

1

句意:沒有人知道這是怎么發(fā)生的,雖然英國成功的電影像《哈利波特》可能與此有關。

聯(lián)系上文“Words like “cheers”, meaning “thank you”, and “mate”, meaning “friend”, are becoming popular.”這些單詞比如開心的意思是謝謝,這些詞變得很受歡迎,沒有人知道這是如何發(fā)生的。根據(jù)句意可知是如何。故答案填how。

2

句意:沒有人知道這是怎么發(fā)生的,雖然英國成功的電影像《哈利波特》可能與此有關。

電影film,可數(shù)名詞,指英國電影用復數(shù)形式。故答案填films。

3

句意:英國電影和美國電影有點不同。

根據(jù)句意表示美國的電影,America美國,要變成American美國的。故答案填American。

4

句意:英式拼讀“color”“colour”,而且他們寫“favorite”“favorite”。

介詞of后跟動詞ing形式表示英國的拼讀方式。故答案填spelling。

5

句意:因為大英帝國,英語是世界上人數(shù)使用最多的口語。

根據(jù)句意表示因為,介詞短語because of因為后跟名詞或詞組,大英帝國是名詞。故答案填of。

6

句意:它的殖民地曾經(jīng)覆蓋了地球的25%。

根據(jù)once曾經(jīng),可知是一般過去時態(tài),動詞cover要用過去式。故答案填covered。

7

句意:在美國一些地方,人們真的很喜歡英式口音。

句子成分分析,空格處單詞修飾動詞like喜歡,所以形容詞real要加后綴ly變成really表示真正地。故答案填really。

8

句意:英國演員Hugh Grant和他的英式口音在好萊塢非常成功。

句子成分分析,缺少形容詞做表語,名詞success要變成形容詞表示成功的。故答案填successful

9

句意:不要擔心英式英語和美式英語之間的差別。

祈使句否定句,don’t后直接跟動詞原形。故答案填worry

10

句意:不要擔心英式英語和美式英語之間的差別。

根據(jù)句意不要擔心英式英語和美式英語之間的差別,固定搭配between…and……之間。故答案填and。

【題目】 If you are in Shanghai and want to throw away a cup of milk tea, be careful. You need to follow these steps: first, pour out any leftover(殘留物)into a wet waste bin; second, put the paper wrapper(包裝材料)into a recyclable waste bin; third, throw the single-use cup into a dry waste bin.

Sound difficult? You'll have to get used to it. From July lst, people in Shanghai are required to sort(分類)their garbage according to strict rules.

Why should we sort our garbage? The answer lies in the increasing amount of waste we are producing. Chinese cities produce over 200 million tons of waste each year, according to China Economic Net. Most of this waste is buried in landfills, which may pollute the water and soil. Moreover, we are running out of space for new landfills.

In fact, more than half of our waste can be recycled. Recyclable garbage can be made into new materials. For example, wet garbage can be used to make gas, heat and many other kinds of useful things. But in order to recycle garbage efficiently(有效地), we need to sort our garbage.

Can't garbage-processing companies do the sorting job? They can. But that requires a lot of work and costs lots of money. Things will become much easier if each of us can sort our own garbage. Besides, the difficult task of sorting might encourage people to produce less waste. Do you still want to buy that milk tea?

1If you want to throw some paper, which of the following dustbins should you throw in?

A.a recyclable waste binB.apoisonous waste bin

C.a dry waste bin.D.a wet waste bin

2What does the underlined word "landfills" mean in Chinese?

A.沙漠B.森林地區(qū)C.郊區(qū)D.垃圾填埋

3What can be used to make gas and heat?

A.wet garbage.B.dry garbage.

C.recyclable garbage.D.harmful garbage.

4What's the best title for the text?

A.The reasons for sorting garbageB.Wonderful ways of sorting garbage

C.An introduction of sorting garbageD.An environmental city-Shanghai

Mum: How much does an ordinary bike cost?

【題目】 William Blake described the eyes as the “windows of the soul.” Our eyes are the windows through which we see the world around us. Either way, there’s no question that we place great value on our eyes and our eyesight. Surveys have shown that of the five senses, sight is the one that people fear losing the most.

Thinking about the important function of our eyes, we’d give them the best care possible, but sometimes we get too busy or forget to do a few simple things that can keep our eyes healthy.

Protecting your eyes starts with the food on your plate. Remember when you were a kid and your mom told you that carrots would improve your eyesight. Well, she might be right. Proper food will keep your eyes strong and healthy.

Give up your daily habits that could seriously injure your eyes. Always wear sunglasses in a sunny day to protect your eyes from ultraviolet ray(紫外線). Rest your eyes every 20 minutes from the computer screen by looking 20 feet away for 20 seconds. At least every 2 hours, get up and take a 15-minute break when working at a computer.

Make sure your eyes do not get injured in the first place. You should try to prevent eye injuries whether you’re playing sports or doing housework. You should also know when to wear safety glasses and what kinds will work best for you.

Last but not least, get your eyes examined regularly. Eye exams can help find some eye diseases. It’s important to find these diseases early on, when they’re easier to treat.

1According to a survey, people fear losing ________ most.

A.their sightsB.their hearingsC.their smellsD.their tastes

2The underlined word function might mean “________ ” in Chinese.

A.差異B.功能C.優(yōu)勢D.問題
