Homesick is a compound (復(fù)合的) word made up of “home” and “sick”. You know
  1  each word means on its own, of course. But think about what the words mean when they are   2  together. “Homesick” means “Thinking of home, unhappy away from home.” In other words, it means “sick for home”.
　　Now think for a minute   3  the word SEASICK. If you change the word “home” in the definition (定義) to the word “sea”, would the definition  4  “seasick” ? Does seasick mean “thinking of sea, unhappy away from sea”? It means something quite  5 . Seasick means “made sick by the only place where you are on the sea.” It means “sick because of the sea.” When you are homesick, the only place you want to be is at home. When you are seasick, the   6  place you want to be is at sea.
　　Have you ever   7  a person being heartsick? Heartsick does not mean that something is wrong with a person’s heart. People are heartsick when they are   8 down deep inside as if (好像) their hearts are broken.
　  And so, when you are carsick, you are “made sick by the movement of a car on the road.” You are sick because of the car, not sick for it.
You can see, then, that   9  compound words are what they seem at first glance (一瞥). Think about the compound words, such as handshake and   10 . Perhaps you may write definitions for them. It must be helpful to know something like this in your English study.

試題分析：本文講述了復(fù)合詞的意思并不是簡單的詞與詞的簡單相加，需要根據(jù)具體的語境選擇合適的意思。在平時的學(xué)習(xí)中要注意總結(jié)復(fù)合詞，大家不能“望詞生義”。
小題1:根據(jù)題干，本空應(yīng)該是作mean的賓語，本句的意思“你知道每個詞都有它自己的意思。”所以本題選A
小題2:根據(jù)題干，本句的意思是“但是要考慮一下他們用在以前的意思是什么�！惫视胾sed。所以本題選B。
小題3:本句的意思是“大家想一下關(guān)于SEASICK這個單詞”。只有about是“關(guān)于”。所以本題選C。
小題4:本題考查詞義辨析。Get“得到”；fit”適合“，”與…一致；“read“讀”；have“有”。本句的意思是“這個含義時候seasick嗎？”所以本題選A。
小題5:由下句Seasick means SICK BY THE MOVEMENT ON THE SEA. 可知上句應(yīng)為：它的意思不是“思念大�！�，而是完全不同的意思，所以本題選A。
小題6:本句的意思是“如果你暈船，你最不想去的地方就是坐船（在海上）�！币簿褪�
小題7:hear of“聽說”，hear from“受到某人的來信”，think over“重新考慮”，think about“考慮”。本句的意思是“你聽說過心臟病人嗎？”所以本題選A。
小題8:hit“打擊”，hurt“受傷”，love“愛”，move“移動”。本句的意思是“人們沮喪當他們受傷了，在內(nèi)心深處，仿佛他們的心都碎了�！彼员绢}選B。
小題9:根據(jù)題干，本句的意思是“你看，并不是所以的復(fù)合詞都是你開始一瞥時的意思�！薄安⒎撬械摹笔莕ot all。所以本題選C。
小題10:根據(jù)handshake可知，此處需要選一個復(fù)合詞，四個選項中只有 handwriting
是復(fù)合詞，故選D。
點評：本完形填空有一定的難度，做題時要重在理解句意和上下文銜接的邏輯關(guān)系。不提倡看一個做一個，這樣很容易錯選答案從而導(dǎo)致整篇文章脫離主題�？梢杂没◣追昼娺M行整體的閱讀，再結(jié)合文意進行逐一作答。注意區(qū)別所給詞的用法及意思。

If you go to a fast food restaurant, you will probably see a lot of teenagers. Today, many teenagers are overweight, and this is because of their bad eating habits. Most teenagers are fond of food with a lot of fat, oil, salt and sugar. People call this kind of food “junk food”.
But bad eating habits go beyond fast food. We find many teenagers eat unhealthily. Some don’t have breakfast before they go to school. During the day, some don’t have a proper meal for lunch. In a recent survey at one school, scientists found that over two thirds of the students didn’t follow a healthy diet. They didn’t like vegetables, and many of them didn’t like to eat fruits. They preferred to eat food with a lot of salt, sugar, or fat.
Parents today also worry about their children’s diet. Some doctors give the following advice:
Teenagers shouldn’t eat too much junk food.
Teenagers shouldn’t eat food with too much salt. Salt can cause high blood pressure in the future.
Teenagers should eat food without much fat, oil and sugar.
Teenagers need to eat some fruits and vegetables every day. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins（維生素）and have little fat.
Teenagers need to drink more milk. Milk will help their bones grow.

Saving water is an important part of going green. As water becomes less and polluted more, conservation (保護) becomes more and more important. The less water you use, the less wastewater will end up in our rivers and lakes. Wasting water means that more water needs to be treated and cleaned, a process that requires quite a lot of energy.
As it is said above, cutting down on water usage is one of the most important things you can do for your local environment and the planet as a whole. That is why more green households are going blue: cutting down their water footprint by conserving and harvesting (收獲) water.
It may seem like a big concept, but going blue starts with small changes that everyone can make. Something as simple as turning off the tap while you brush your teeth can save a lot of water. Wash your fruits and vegetables in a bowl rather than under a tap to save even more. Make sure that the taps are fully turned off every time you step away from the sink or the shower — all those little drips can add up to a lot of water waste.
Another way of reducing your water footprint is reducing your dependence on the main water supply. Rainwater harvesting can meet a lot of your home’s water needs. Many of us already practice rainwater harvesting in a small way. Collecting water from your gutters (檐溝) is a great way to keep your garden green without running the sprinkler (灑水器).
小題1:The underlined word “green” means ______ in this passage.
A．嫉妒B．環(huán)保C．未成熟的D．健康的
小題2:According to the passage, which is NOT the reason that people should save water?
A．Treating wastewater needs much energy.
B．The water on the earth is becoming less and less.
C．The water on the earth is becoming polluted more.
D．Rainwater harvesting can meet a lot of your home’s water needs.
小題3:According to the passage, all of these can be used to save water except ______.
A．washing fruit and vegetables under a tap
B．using a bowl to wash your fruit and vegetables
C．making sure taps are fully turned off all the time
D．turning off the tap every time after brushing your teeth
小題4:Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
A．Save Water by Turning off the Tap
B．How to Treat and Clean Wastewater
C．Keep Your Garden Green with Rainwater
D．Save Water Starting with Small Changes
小題5:From the passage, we can know that_____.
A．we can get enough water by harvesting
B．most people pay no attention to saving water
C．we can practice rainwater harvesting in a small way
D．harvesting water is more necessary than conserving it

London has a new magazine. But it is not printed(印刷) on paper. Everyone who has a television can receive it because it is on TV.
In order to read this magazine you have to have a decoder (解碼器). Each page of it is numbered, so you only have to dial the number to choose which subject you want to read about. There are all kinds of information ---everything is included from cooking to the latest sports news.
If you want to read the news, the first thing you have to do is to turn to the back page, which has an easy-to-remember page number, 100 for example. Then you start choosing what you want to read. The news is on page 101 to 109, so you put in the numbers and the news appears written across your screen. Perhaps you want to go out in the afternoon, so you press 181, and a brightly colored weather map appears on the screen. But the weather is terrible, so you decide to go shopping and dial 162 for a list of the week’s best bargains. But should you drive or take the train? To answer that question you only have to press 189 for the traffic report. It is very simple to use. But probably the best thing about the service is that it is being updated all the time. Journalists type new material directly onto the screen and the whole pages of the magazine can be replaced in minutes.
London already has three services. One, sent out by TV, is called ORACLE while the other two, on BBC, are called CEEFAX because they let you see facts. Although CEEFAX and ORACLE have been operating for some time, they have not been well publicized(宣傳). BBC engineers do not think that their idea will ever replace books and newspapers because they can be taken with you everywhere. But many people would agree that is a breakthrough(突破) as great as the invention of printing, which could not just change our reading habits but our whole way of life.
小題1: We can know from the passage that in London        .
A．the magazine is available at any local home
B．most of the postmen will lose their jobs some day
C．everyone can read this magazine if they have a television
D．the readers can get various kinds of information staying at home
小題2:In the sentence “Each page of it is numbered,” the word “it” refers to the        .
A．magazine B．programC．decoderD．subject
小題3:According to the passage, the “decoder” is used to help people        .
A．work out the total(合計) of certain numbers
B．read the information sent by TV signals
C．go shopping and have other entertainment
D．receive some special TV program for entertainment
小題4:The passage is mainly about        .
A．a(chǎn) new magazine printed in London
B．a(chǎn)n up-to-date way of getting information
C．a(chǎn) popular TV program about magazines
D．a(chǎn)n advanced technology helping people communicate
