C
解析
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段的“He
looked
kind
of
embarrassed,and
said
he
had
made
up
this
word...been
using
it
all
the
time.”可知,這個(gè)詞可以解釋果汁噴到眼睛里的具體場景,而且父親一直在用orbisculate這個(gè)詞,說明這個(gè)詞很實(shí)用。故選C項(xiàng)。ⅠⅡⅢ2.What’sthefunctionofparagraph4?A.Presentingsomeevidence.B.Addingsomebackground.C.Introducinganewtopic.D.Makingacomparison.答案
B
解析
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段可知,本段講述了如何才能把一個(gè)新詞添加到《韋氏詞典》中,即講述了希拉里想把父親創(chuàng)造的詞納入《韋氏詞典》這件事的背景。ⅠⅡⅢ3.WhydidHilarybuildawebsite?A.Tomakeaprofit.B.Toappreciatefriendsandstrangers.C.Tomemorizeherfather.D.Togetthewordofficiallyrecognized.答案
D
解析
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段的“She
built
a
website
and
encouraged
people
to
use
the
word
publicly
enough.”可知,希拉里建立網(wǎng)站是為了讓人們多使用這個(gè)詞匯,因?yàn)樯衔奶岬街挥凶銐蚨嗟氖褂昧坎拍苁惯@個(gè)詞被官方認(rèn)可,推斷出希拉里建立網(wǎng)站的最終目的是為了使這個(gè)詞獲得官方認(rèn)可。ⅠⅡⅢ4.What’sthebesttitleofthetext?A.Warning:ThisFruitMayOrbisculateB.Love:ADaughterRecallsHerFatherC.Wonder:AWordWentintoDictionaryD.Memory:ACreativeandInventiveFatherⅠⅡⅢ答案
A
解析
主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段的“One
day
Hilary
Krieger
was
sitting...she
recalls.”和最后一段的“Even
if
the
word
doesn’t
make
it
into
the
dictionary,Hilary
feels
her
effort
to
get
her
father’s
word
into
the
dictionary...”可知,全文圍繞著希拉里和父親經(jīng)常使用orbisculated這個(gè)他獨(dú)創(chuàng)的詞匯及她在父親去世后為了使orbisculated這個(gè)詞進(jìn)入《韋氏詞典》而做出的努力,推斷出全文是圍繞orbisculated這個(gè)詞展開的,A項(xiàng)“警告:這種水果汁會(huì)噴入你的眼睛里”,可作為本文的標(biāo)題。故選A項(xiàng)。ⅠⅡⅢBTheEnglishlanguageisconstantlyevolving(演變),andthereareagreatnumberofwordsouttherethatdon’tmeanwhattheyusedto.We’retalkingaboutcommonwordsthatyouuseeveryday.Wetakethemforgranted,butatsomepointinhistory,theirmeaningstotallychanged,andtheyalloriginallymeantsomethingmuchdifferent.Generallyspeaking,theword“nice”isonewithgoodmeanings.However,backinthelate12thcentury,ifsomeonesaidyouwere“nice”,itwasfarfromnice.Waybackwhen,“nice”wasusedtomean“foolish”and“stupid”.Lateroninthe13thcentury,“nice”cametomean“shy”,andduringthe14thcentury,itevenmeant“beingcareful”.Butfinallyinthe18thcentury,itchangedtothekinderdefinitionweknowtoday,andeversincethen,peoplehavebeenusingitinapopularway.ⅠⅡⅢAllofusgetsadeverynowandthen.It’sanormalpartoflife.Alovedonepassesaway,wegetoverlookedforthatbigpromotionatwork,orthegrocerystoreisoutofyourfavoriteflavorofHawaiianPunch.Theseareallthingsthatcanmakeusverysad.However,onceuponatime,“sad”hadaverydifferentdefinition.Backinthe1300s,itwastheperfectwordifyou’deatentoomuchfoodatdinner.Throughtheyears,thedefinitionof“sad”changedto“heavy”andthen“tired”,allbeforeevolvingintothewordweusetoday.ⅠⅡⅢ“Awful”isperhapstheonewordonthislistthatshouldhavestuckwithitsoriginalmeaning.Whiletodayitmeans“bad”or“terrible”,“awful”usedtomean“awe-inspiring”or“fullofawe”.Inotherwords,ifsomethingwas“awful”,thenitwasworthyofrespectorevenfear.However,overtheyears,“awful”hascometohaveacompletelyoppositemeaning.【語篇解讀】本文是一篇說明文,文章主要以三個(gè)單詞為例說明英語中有很多單詞的意思和以前不一樣。
ⅠⅡⅢ5.Howmanyexamplesaregiventosupportthetopicofthistext?A.3. B.4.C.5. D.6.答案
A
解析
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知,第二段至第四段分別以“nice”“sad”和“awful”三個(gè)單詞為例說明單詞含義發(fā)生了改變。故選A項(xiàng)。ⅠⅡⅢ6.Whatdid“nice”meaninthe14thcentury?A.Stupid. B.Foolish.C.Beingcareful. D.Terrible.答案
C
解析
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的“Later
on
in
the
13th
century,
‘nice’came
to
mean‘shy’,and
during
the
14th
century,it
even
meant
‘being
careful’.”可知,“nice”在14世紀(jì)時(shí)表示“小心”。故選C項(xiàng)。ⅠⅡⅢ7.Ifyou’deatentoomuchatdinner,whichworddidyouuseinthe14thcentury?A.Nice. B.Sad.C.Awful. D.Heavy.答案
B
解析
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的“Back
in
the
1300s,it
was
the
perfect
word
if
you’d
eaten
too
much
food
at
dinner.”可知,在14世紀(jì)時(shí),如果你晚飯吃得太多,可以使用“sad”這個(gè)單詞。ⅠⅡⅢ8.Whichisthemostsuitabletitleforthetext?A.WordsThatOriginallyMeantSomethingDifferentB.WordswithOppositeMeaningsC.LanguagesSeldomChangeinHistoryD.Don’tRemembertheMeaningsofWords答案
A
解析
主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容,結(jié)合第一段的“The
English
language
is
constantly
evolving,and
there
are
a
great
number
of
words

that

to.”可知,文章主要以三個(gè)單詞為例說明英語中有很多單詞的意思和以前不一樣,A項(xiàng)“與原來意思不同的單詞”適合作為文章標(biāo)題,故選A項(xiàng)。Ⅱ.完形填空ⅠⅡⅢInmyprimaryschool,weusedtowritealotinMrs.White’sclass.Thereweremanymistakesinmywritings.Butnored

ⅠⅡⅢ【語篇解讀】本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了作者在上小學(xué)的時(shí)候,懷特老師沒有及時(shí)地糾正作者班上同學(xué)的拼寫錯(cuò)誤,是不想扼殺他們學(xué)習(xí)使用單詞的熱情,也不想用紅字給他們施加壓力,從而讓他們更自信地去學(xué)習(xí)的故事。ⅠⅡⅢ1.A.signals B.correctionsC.remarks D.symbols2.A.even B.yetC.ever D.still1.答案
B
解析
根據(jù)上文“There
were
many
mistakes
in
my
writings.”,以及下文“Instead,always
a
star.”可推知,此處為但是沒有紅色的修正。2.答案
A
解析
根據(jù)上文提到的文章中有許多錯(cuò)誤,沒有紅色的修正,相反,永遠(yuǎn)是星星。以及該句中的even可推知,此處為有時(shí)甚至是一個(gè)“好”。ⅠⅡⅢ3.A.threatened B.shockedC.worried D.pleased4.A.gaveup B.waitedforC.wrotedown D.pointedout3.答案
C
解析
根據(jù)該句中的But以及下文“She
wanted
to
figure
out
why
Mrs.White...”可推知,此處為但這讓“我”母親很擔(dān)心。4.答案
D
解析
根據(jù)上文提到的“我”母親很擔(dān)心,以及該句中的“She
wanted
to
figure
out
why”和“spelling
or
grammatical
errors”可推知,此處為她想弄清楚為什么懷特老師從不指出拼寫或語法錯(cuò)誤。ⅠⅡⅢ5.A.nervous B.sensitiveC.excited D.confused6.A.kill B.fuelC.welcome D.ignore5.答案
C
解析
根據(jù)下文“I
don’t
want
to
that
enthusiasm”可知,此處為孩子們剛剛開始對使用單詞和造句感到興奮。故選C項(xiàng)。
6.答案
A
解析
根據(jù)上文提到的孩子們剛剛開始對使用單詞和造句感到興奮,以及該句中的“or
put
any
pressure
on
them
with
red
ink”可知,此處為“我”不想扼殺這種熱情,也不想用紅色的字給他們施加壓力。ⅠⅡⅢ7.A.meaning B.choiceC.repetition D.wonder8.A.formally B.exactlyC.firmly D.loudly7.答案
D
解析
根據(jù)句意以及該句中的“Spelling
and
grammar
can
wait”和but可推知,此處為拼寫和語法可以等,但文字的奇跡不會(huì)。8.答案
B
解析
根據(jù)句意以及下文“But
what’s
for
sure
is
that...”可知應(yīng)選B項(xiàng)。ⅠⅡⅢ9.A.new B.little C.poor D.full10.A.precisely
B.carefully C.personally
D.cautiously9.答案
D
解析
根據(jù)句意以及該句中的“But
what’s
for
sure”和“I
grew
up
learning
to
use
words”可推知,此處為但可以肯定的是,“我”從小就從她那里充滿信心地學(xué)習(xí)使用單詞。故選D項(xiàng)。10.答案
A
解析
根據(jù)該句中的“I
probably
wouldn’t
be
telling
you
about
this
now”可知,此處為“我”突然想到,如果懷特老師把她的紅筆用得更準(zhǔn)確一些,“我”現(xiàn)在可能就不會(huì)告訴你這件事了。故選A項(xiàng)。ⅠⅡⅢ11.A.reliable B.romantic C.extraordinary D.famous12.A.recognise B.identify C.misuse
D.misspell11.答案
C
解析
根據(jù)該句中的“to
exercise
‘red-pen-restriction’”以及下文“She
allowed
the
joy,wonder
and
excitement
of
expression
to
come
out.”她讓喜悅、驚奇和激動(dòng)的表情流露出來可推知,此處為“我”覺得她是一位非常出色的老師——行使“紅筆限制”。12.答案
D
解析
根據(jù)該句中的“the
word
beautiful
as
‘baeutiful’”可知,此處為在中學(xué)的時(shí)候,“我”常常把“beautiful”這個(gè)詞拼錯(cuò)為“baeutiful”。ⅠⅡⅢ13.A.better B.harder C.easier D.faster14.A.cancel B.employ C.imitate
D.read13.答案
C
解析
根據(jù)上文提到的“我”常常把“beautiful”這個(gè)詞拼錯(cuò)為“baeutiful”,以及該句中的“it
doesn’t
hold
as
much
as
you
mean
sometimes”可推知,此處為雖然“pretty”更容易拼寫,但有時(shí)它并沒有完全表達(dá)出你想要的。14.答案
B
解析
根據(jù)句意以及該句中的“the
least
I
could
do
was
spell
it
right”可推知,此處為所以“我”告訴自己,如果“我”要用這個(gè)詞,至少我能把它拼對。故選B項(xiàng)。ⅠⅡⅢ15.A.tension B.reliefC.complaint D.anger答案
A
解析
根據(jù)該句中的“And
thanks
to
Mrs.White”以及“even
if
I
couldn’t
quite
spell
it
out”可推知,此處為多虧了懷特老師,“我”在寫“我”想寫的東西時(shí)沒有緊張,即使“我”不能完全把它拼出來。Ⅲ.讀后續(xù)寫ⅠⅡⅢ閱讀下面材料,根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段,使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。MynameisMaeli.IamsoluckybecauseIhaveLizzyJo.Sheismycousinandmyfriend!Yesterdayourteacherbroughtoutabigboxjustbeforethelastbellrang.“Ihavealittlegiftforeachofyou,”shesaid.Thenshegaveeachofusaperfectpopcornball.Eachpopcornballwasinatransparentbagthatwastiedwitharibbon(絲帶).Justthatlittleribbonmadethegiftlooksofancy!Sometimes,it’sthetinydetailsthatmakethingsspecial.ⅠⅡⅢIhappentohaveagreatappreciationforpopcornballs,soIwaspleased.LizzyJoandIrodethebushome.ThemomentIwasoffthebus,Iuntiedtheribbonandplaceditintomypocket.ThenItookthepopcornballoutoftheplasticbag.Ididn’tevenstopwalking.Unfortunately,myfeetwereinabighurrytogethome,andsometimeswhenfeetareinahurry,theytrip.Myfeettripped.Ifell.Andmyperfectpopcornballdroppedrightintoayucky,murkypuddle(水坑).Iwasokay,butmypopcornballwasn’t.Haveyoueverseenaperfectpopcornballinayucky,murkypuddle?Itisn’tsomethingthatyouwanttotakeaphotoofandframeandkeepforever.ⅠⅡⅢIlookedatmypopcornball.Thatmomentdefinitelywasnotthetimetousethetwo-secondrule,whichIusedatmygrandma’shouselastweek.Iaccidentallydroppedmycookieonherfloor.Ipickeditupreallyfast,andIadmittedthatIatethatcookie.Butthiswasaverydifferentsituation.Thisinvolvedapuddle.Iwantedtocry.Iknewthatit’ssillytocryoverapopcornball,butthatpopcornballwasagift!Iwashighlydisappointed.ⅠⅡⅢ注意:1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150個(gè)左右;2.請按如下格式作答。Lizzyturnedtogivemeahug._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ⅠⅡⅢLaterthatnight,lookingatthe“new”ball,Ihadanidea._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
