答案
解析
1. C。only 意为“仅仅、只有”。句意为:世界上约有五百种语言,但只有记种是重要的。
2. B。important 意为“重要的”,根据下文提到的像英语被广泛使用,说明了这几种语言是重要的。故不宜选其他形容词。
3. B。as a foreign language(外语)与前句中的as their own language相对应。
4. C。are trying to do so =" are" trying to learn English 意为“在尽力学习英语”。
5. D。answer 意为“答案”,指回答前面的答案。句意为:学习英语容易还是困难,不同的人有不同的答案。
6. C。notice 意为“注意到”,根据不同的动词意义,只有notice切合句意。指注意到这些广告。
7. C。这些广告的目的是为了收钱,故选money。or your money back意为:否则退钱。
8. B。help sb do sth 意为“帮助某人做某事”。而make / let sb do sth意为“使/让某人做某事”。allow不合该句句型。
9. A。from first day 意为“从第一天起”。(from www.nmet168.com)
10. D。由于是指学习英语语言,应该是先学习发音,故选pronunciation(发音)。
11. A。happen 意为“发生”,这里指上面广告中提到的“快速学好英语这样事情是决不会发生的”。
12. B。remember 意为“记得”。
13. B。children与后面的a small child相对应,指小孩学说母语好。
14. D。think of 意为“想象、想一想”。
15. B。think 意为“思考”,此句意为:谈话用母语,思考用母语。
16. D。practice 意为“练习”。这里说明了孩子学说母语好是因为进行上述大量的练习的结果。
17. A。句意为:说学习英语容易就难说了。
18. A。demand“需要”,句意为:掌握好英语需要大量练习。(from www.nmet168.com)
19. B。take 意为“花费(时间)”。此句意为:而练习需要付出极大的努力和花费大量的时间。
20. C。这里是说:好教师、录音磁带、书和词典将对学习英语有帮助。但这些都不能代替学生的学习。

举一反三
At the same, we should not be pessimistic (悲观的). More and more then modern world depends on having people who are in the job because they are good enough, not just because their faces fit. There is a story of a factory owner who sent for an engineer to see to a machine which would not go. He examined it, then took out a hammer and tapped, once. The machine started up immediately. When he presented his bill, the owner protested, “This can’t be right! $ 100 just for tapping(敲打) a machine with a hammer ?” The engineer wrote out a new bill: “For tapping a machine, $1; for knowing where to tap. $99.”
小题1:The engineer at the chemical plant was not promoted because _____.
A.it was politically less good for the boss to accept her than the man |
B.her boss did not think she had the right qualifications for the job |
C.the man who got the promotion was more experienced than she was |
D.it is more difficult for a woman to get a promotion than for her male colleague |
A.he hit the machine to get it started again |
B.the factory owner could not have repaired it himself |
C.he was charging for his knowledge and expert skills |
D.he was the only person who could find out what was wrong with it |
A.He quite agrees with it. |
B.He doesn’t express his opinion his opinion at it. |
C.He completely disagrees with it. |
D.He doesn’t quite agree with it. |
A.Having influential friends or right background seems helpful sometimes. |
B.The engineer had good reason to overcharge the factory owner. |
C.Not all those who are good in their jobs have the chance to be promoted. |
D.Those who are good in their jobs are still largely needed by the modern society. |
Brockingham is run by people who are more interested in tourists than its residents. The problem is that the people running the government refuse to accept new ideas. By banning(禁止) all fast-food restaurants and discount stores, they take away all the places kids can afford to shop.
These people forget that when they were young, they could go to the South Street Soda Fountain and get an ice-cream soda for 25 cents. Today you can’t find an ice-cream soda anywhere in Brockingham for less than $2! Where can kids go for a snack?
There is not a single restaurant in Brockingham where a family of four can eat dinner for less than $100. Add a 15% tip and sales tax and you have spent nearly $125 to eat a meal you could prepare at home for about $12. Have you noticed that Brockingham families never dine in Brockingham?
Fast-food restaurants are also a good place for school kids to get an after-school job. Fast-food restaurants are busiest during the early supper hours when students are able to work, whereas the fancy food restaurants cater to late-night diners. Working in one of these establishments requires working shifts that are too late for most students.
The City Council claims that local merchants, rather than national chains, should benefit from the tourist business. I agree that it is important to support local businesses, but I think the fast-food restaurants would encourage more people to shop in Brockingham.
Another thing that disturbs me is that we must travel 25 miles to the nearest discount store. If I need a tire for my bike, I have a choice of buying one at Surf and Peddle Sport Shop for $15 or driving to Parkersburg Discount Center where I can buy the same kind of tire for $9. Again, I think the ban on all food chains and discount houses is counterproductive for our city.
Wes Woodrow
9th-Grade Student at Brockingham High School
小题1:Why does Wes Woodrow write this letter to the editor?
Because the government bans all fast-food restaurants and discount stores in Brockingham.
Because the writer can’t find an ice-cream soda anywhere in Brockingham for less than $2.
Because a family of four can’t find a restaurant in Brockingham to eat dinner for less than $100.
Because the writer has to travel 25 miles to the nearest discount store.
小题2: From the letter we can infer that _____.
the writer used to buy a lot of ice-cream soda
the students refuse to work in fancy food restaurants
the government’s ban benefits local merchants much
discount stores usually offer a discount of 40%
小题3: The underlined word “counterproductive” in paragraph 6 of the letter probably means _____.
A.cheap, not expensive | B.surprising, not expected |
C.harmful, not helpful | D.doubtful, not sure |
complaining that someone has to drive him to Parkersburg
getting an after-school job in fast-food restaurant himself
suggesting that many businessmen have the same opinion
giving specific examples of the high costs in Brockingham
Time passes and the situation has changed. Nowadays Americans have “Cadillac”, Japanese have “Toyota”, Cermans have “Mercedes-Benz”, and they are all proud of the big brands they own. Chinese national brands are pale in comparison to their global counterparts. It is a reality which we cannot deny and have to face. With the globalization of brands and the internationalization of global competition, foreign brands are making constant efforts in attacking the Chinese market. Under the circumstances, the question that we must ask is:How can Chinese brands be ready for the challenge posed by foreign brands?
Many Chinese enterprises are single-minded in getting the attention of the international market and going into metropolises(大城市). Successful though they seem, they act ill-advisedly. We should be aware that it is the home market, especially the rural market with a population of 900 million people that provides the real development opportunity for Chinese national brands. That is why many powerful foreign brands are trying, with every possible means, to develop the Chinese rural market.
Quality is the life of a brand and consumers always choose products with first-class quality. The quality of Chinese products is very unstable so that it seriously affects the establishment of Chinese brands. Therefore, for those national brands determined to challenge foreign brands, the top task is to improve product quality. It must be clearly understood that, for a consumer who has bought a product, defects in 1% of your products mean 100% loss. Only if we create products with quality better than that of foreign brands can national brands be successful in competition.
小题1: What is the question that we have to ask in face of foreign brands?
A.How to run a company in foreign countries. |
B.How to stay in harmony with the foreign brands. |
C.How to catch up with the foreign company in service and price. |
D.How to compete against the foreign brands. |
A.Quality is the most important element for a brand. |
B.China’s international market is fully feveloped. |
C.China’s products are matchless in the international market. |
D.China’s goods are always of bad quality. |
A.Metropolitan areas are what many Chinese enterprises focus on. |
B.Pottery made in ancient China had signs or symbols of the makers. |
C.The top target of foreign enterprises in China has been the rural market. |
D.Chinese enterprises should try to get into the home market. |
A.There’s no need for foreign brands to make constant efforts to compete with Chinese brands. |
B.Ancient Chinese and Egyptians knew how to mark or symbolize their works. |
C.Chinese enterprises can hardly build big brands people trust due to quality problems. |
D.Chinese brands can only be successful in domestic market. |
