And we have an expression to help us do that. For this expression， let’s go to the beach！ For a beach trip， we bring several things that can make the trip more enjoyable. For example， a beach towel makes sitting on the sand more comfortable. Some people choose to bring a beach chair. And a beach umbrella protects you from the sun’s powerful rays. Swimming in the ocean can really make you hungry. So many people bring a cooler for food and drinks. Making sandcastles on the beach is a fun activity. So， bringing sand-digging tools—like a shovel（铁铲）—and a bucket is a good idea. But you do not need to bring the sand. Most beaches have a lot of that already！ And that brings us to today’s expression： “bringing sand to the beach”. “Bringing sand to the beach” describes actions that are pointless and unnecessary. The actions are futile. This means serving no purpose. To bring sand to the beach can also mean overkill. Overkill means to do or have more than what is necessary or useful. Often when using this expression， we say “like”. For example， bringing flowers to the opening of a flower store is like bringing sand to the beach. We usually use “like bringing sand to the beach” when bringing something to a place is unnecessary. But you can also say the same idea with different objects and places. For example， I could also say it is “like bringing a sandwich to a restaurant”. With this example， the meaning goes one step further. It also means that what you are bringing（the sandwich）is of poorer quality than what you would find at the place（the restaurant）. [语篇导读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一个英语习语bringing sand to the beach（把沙子带到海滩）。这个习语指的是毫无意义和不必要的行为。这些行为没有任何用处。 1. What does the author mainly tell us in paragraph 2？ A. Activities on a beach trip. B. Necessary things for an enjoyable beach trip. C. Pleasure enjoyed on a beach. D. Ways to make a trip comfortable. 解析　主旨大意题。根据第二段“For a beach trip， we bring several things that can make the trip more enjoyable. For example， a beach towel makes sitting on the sand more comfortable. Some people choose to bring a beach chair. And a beach umbrella protects you from the sun’s powerful rays. Swimming in the ocean can really make you hungry. So many people bring a cooler for food and drinks.（去海滩旅行， 我们带几样东西， 可以使旅行更愉快。例如， 沙滩巾让坐在沙滩上更舒服。有些人选择带一把沙滩椅。一把沙滩伞可以保护你免受强烈的阳光照射。在海里游泳真的会让你很饿。所以很多人带冷藏箱来装食物和饮料。）”可知， 作者在第二段主要告诉我们愉快的海滩之旅必备的东西。故选B。 答案　B 2. What does the underlined word “futile” in paragraph 4 probably mean？ A. Useless. B. Common. C. Dangerous. D. Meaningful. 解析　词句猜测题。根据画线单词前一句“‘Bringing sand to the beach’ describes actions that are pointless and unnecessary.（“把沙子带到海滩”描述的是毫无意义和不必要的行为。）”以及后一句“This means serving no purpose.（这意味着没有任何意义。）”可知， 此处为这些行动是徒劳的。故选A。 答案　A 3. What does the author think of the flowers brought to the opening of a flower store？ A. They are sweet. B. They are proper gifts. C. They are not good enough. D. They are not needed there. 解析　推理判断题。根据第五段“For example， bringing flowers to the opening of a flower store is like bringing sand to the beach.（例如， 带鲜花去花店开业就像把沙子带到海滩。）”可知， 在花店开业时带花就像把沙子带到海滩上一样。由此推知， 那里不需要这些花。故选D。 答案　D 4. Which saying has the similar meaning to “bringing a sandwich to a restaurant”？ A. Seeing is believing. B. Killing two birds with one stone. C. Teaching a fish how to swim. D. Thinking twice before you jump. 解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段“It also means that what you are bringing（the sandwich）is of poorer quality than what you would find at the place（the restaurant）.[这也意味着你带来的东西（三明治）的质量比你在这个地方（餐馆）找到的要差。]”可知， 这也意味着你带来的东西质量不如你在那里能找到的东西。由此可知， “bringing a sandwich to a restaurant”这句话的意思和“Teaching a fish how to swim” “班门弄斧”意思相近。故选C。 答案　C B （辽宁重点高中联合体高一联考）Chinese is one of the world’s most widely spoken languages. As one of the six official languages used by the United Nations， Chinese now has gained itself greater status（地位）in the world. Chinese is interesting and special. Unlike most other languages， Chinese has a written form and several spoken forms. The official language of China is the Mandarin（普通话）. Mandarin is a statement in Chinese. It is the common language of all modern Han nationality people. Mandarin is shaped and based on the Beijing dialect（方言）and other dialects spoken in the northern areas of China. Mandarin is taught in schools throughout the country. The media， officials， and the government use Mandarin as their main language. When you type in Chinese， you use a phonetic system， called pinyin， which matches the Mandarin pronunciation. Mandarin is used as a mother tongue by most people who are about one fifth of the world’s population. Chinese once had a very great influence on some neighboring countries with their languages and characters， such as Japanese， Korean， Vietnamese and so on. In addition to China， Mandarin is an official language in several other countries in Asia. Nowadays， with the development of China， Chinese people not only speak Chinese， but also learn other languages， such as English. English is a required course and universal education in China and has great popularity. Many Chinese people can speak basic English， especially the students， and staff of service trades like hotels， restaurants， airlines， banks and post offices. In large cities， there are more people who can communicate with foreigners in English. The language communication now is not a problem at all for those that wish to come to China. Now Chinese is becoming more and more popular. As long as you know Chinese， you’ll also be fine anywhere in China. [语篇导读]　这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了汉语如今的社会地位、影响以及英语在中国的现状等情况。 5.

The difference also exists in the letters of the alphabet（字母表）. Or， more specifically（具体地）， the last letter of the alphabet. Z is pronounced as “zed” in Britain while in America， it is pronounced as “zee”. 　1　 It’s what you’ll hear in every English-speaking country， except for the United States. 　2　 Many of our modern letters come directly from the Greek alphabet， including a letter which looked just like our “z”. The Greeks called it “zeta”. “Zeta” gradually developed into the French “zede”， which in turn gave us “zed” as English was shaped by Romance languages like French. “Zee” showed up on the scene in modern English. Dr. Adam Crowley， an associate professor of English in Husson University’s College of Science and Humanities， suggests that the popularity of “zee” grew because it rhymes（押韵）with so many other letters， like B， C， and P. 　3　 So， again， this makes sense. After the Revolutionary War， Americans were trying to set up an identity separate from the British， and words and language played a big role in this. 　4　 He， sure enough， chose “zee” as the “official” American pronunciation. And then， there’s The Alphabet Song. In the song， z is pronounced as “zee”. 　5　 Indeed， teachers in England and other countries sometimes have to reteach children how to pronounce z after they’ve already learned “zee” from hearing the song. A.“Zed” came first. B. Noah Webster led this movement. C. The pronunciation sounds foreign to Americans. D. But it’s not just the United Kingdom that uses “zed”. E. There’s no other letter that ends with the “-ed” sound. F. The song is so popular that it easily gets stuck in your head. G. In the United Kingdom， though， “zee” never really became popular. [语篇导读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是字母Z读作“zee”的来历。 1.解析　空前“Z is pronounced as ‘zed’ in Britain while in America， it is pronounced as ‘zee’.（Z在英国读作“zed”， 而在美国读作“zee”。）”说明Z在英国读作“zed”， 空后“It’s what you’ll hear in every English-speaking country， except for the United States.（这是你在每个说英语的国家都会听到的， 除了美国。）”说明Z不止在英国读作“zed”， D选项“But it’s not just the United Kingdom that uses ‘zed’.（但不仅仅是英国使用“zed”。）”承上启下， 符合语境。故选D。 答案　D 2.解析　空后“Many of our modern letters come directly from the Greek alphabet， including a letter which looked just like our ‘z’. The Greeks called it ‘zeta’. ‘Zeta’ gradually developed into the French ‘zede’， which in turn gave us ‘zed’ as English was shaped by Romance languages like French.（我们的许多现代字母直接来自希腊字母， 包括一个看起来很像我们的“z”的字母。希腊人称它为“zeta”。“Zeta”逐渐发展成法语的“zede”， 这反过来又给了我们“zed”， 因为英语是由法语等罗曼语塑造的。）”是对“Zed”的来源的介绍， A选项“‘Zed’ came first.（“Zed”是第一个来的。）”说明了“Zed”最早出现， 继而引出后文对此的详细介绍， 符合语境。故选A。 答案　A 3.解析　空前“Dr. Adam Crowley， an associate professor of English in Husson University’s College of Science and Humanities， suggests that the popularity of ‘zee’ grew because it rhymes（押韵）with so many other letters， like B， C， and P.（哈森大学科学与人文学院的英语副教授Adam Crowley博士认为， “zee”之所以越来越受欢迎， 是因为它与许多其他字母押韵， 比如B、C和P。）”说明“zee”和很多字母押韵， 而这些字母里没有和“Zed”押韵的， E选项“There’s no other letter that ends with the ‘ed’ sound.（没有其他以“ed”音结尾的字母。）”说明了没有其他字母以“ed”结尾， 承接上文， 符合语境。故选E。 答案　E 4.解析　空前“After the Revolutionary War， Americans were trying to set up an identity separate from the British， and words and language played a big role in this.（独立战争后， 美国人试图建立一个独立于英国人的身份， 而文字和语言在这方面发挥了重要作用。）”， 空后“He， sure enough， chose ‘zee’ as the ‘official’ American pronunciation.（果然， 他选择了“zee”作为美国的“官方”发音。）”， 说明空格处应该提到某个试图建立一个独立于英国人的身份的人， B选项“Noah Webster led this movement.（诺亚·韦伯斯特领导了这场运动。）”提到了试图建立一个独立于英国人的身份的人的代表诺亚·韦伯斯特， 承上启下， 符合语境。故选B。 答案　B 5.解析　空前“And then， there’s The Alphabet Song. In the song， z is pronounced as ‘zee’.（然后是《字母表之歌》。在这首歌中， Z被读成“zee”。）”说明了《字母表之歌》的诞生， 空后“Indeed， teachers in England and other countries sometimes have to reteach children how to pronounce z after they’ve already learned ‘zee’ from hearing the song.（事实上， 英国和其他国家的老师有时不得不在孩子们已经通过听这首歌学会了“zee”之后重新教他们如何发Z的音。）”强调了孩子通过听这首歌学会了把Z读作“zee”， 说明这首歌对孩子影响很大， F选项“The song is so popular that it easily gets stuck in your head.（这首歌太流行了， 很容易在你的脑海里挥之不去。）”说明了这首歌的影响之大， 承上启下， 符合语境。故选F。 答案　F 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
