It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a group of friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. This communication is very important in children’s growing up, because friends can discuss something. These things are difficult to tell their family members.
However, parents often try to choose their children’s friends for them. Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends. Have you ever thought of the following questions?
Who chooses your friends?
Do you choose your friends or your friends choose you?

【46题详解】

【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“because friends can discuss something.These things are difficult to tell their family members.(因为可以和朋友讨论一些事情。这些事情很难对家人讲)” 可知,如果很难和父母说的话,他们一般和朋友讨论。故选C。

Pingyao, in the center of Shanxi Province, is a famous historic cultural city of China and a world cultural heritage site (世界文化遗址). It’s 90 kilometers south of Taiyuan on the Fen River.
People lived in Pingyao during the New Stone Age. Its long period as a country government seat has left Pingyao with lots of historic buildings and sites, with a 2,700-year history. Ninety-nine of them are under government protection, including Zhengguo Temple, Shuanglin Temple and Pingyao Ancient City.
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, businessmen organized commercial (商业的) groups that did business nationwide. Shanxi Province had some of the most important ones and Pingyao was their center. In 1823, a store, known as Rishengchang (Sunrise Prosperity), traded in bank checks rather than in silver or gold coins. It was the beginning of modern Chinese banking. Branch banks were soon set up in major cities in China and other parts of Asia, leading to great development in Pingyao. Its Lacquer ware (漆器) became well known.
In Pingyao Ancient City are many traditional houses and commercial buildings, 3,797 of which are protected and more than 400 of which are in good condition. Not only do the houses in Pingyao show Shanxi’s history and culture, but this large number is valuable for studying its history, customs, and ancient buildings and art. Most of these houses are still used as homes and shops of local people.
In 1997, Ancient Pingyao City was listed in World Heritage List as “World Culture Heritage Site”.
51. What does the underlined word “them” (in the 2ⁿᵈ paragraph) refer to?
A. Historic buildings and sites. B. The three temples.

Music is often played in public places because it is designed to make people feel less lonely when they are in an airport or a hotel. It has been proven that Muzak doeswhat it is designed to do.

First, find out which is north, south, east, and west. Next, look for the special signs and symbols on the map. This means you must find out what things stand for other things.
For example, a red line usually stands for a main highway or freeway. A black line stands for a street, and a black line with little lines across it stands for a railroad. A blue line usually stands for a river. The size of cities is indicated by the size of a black dot. An airport is shown by a tiny plane.
All this information explaining what the lines and the shapes stand for is given in “the legend (图例)”. It is called the legend because it tells the story of the map. The legend is usually found at the bottom of the map.
Then, of course, in order to find your way, you must know where you are first. Mark this place on the map. Then, find the place on the map where you want to go and mark it. Now you can read the map to see what seems the best way to get to your destination.

Dear Jennifer,
I’m very glad to have received the e-mail you send me yesterday. You told me in your e-mail that you’d like to study in a art school. I know that you are not only like singing, and also are good at dancing. In my opinion, if you are training properly, you’ll be success one day. However, your parent didn’t think it a good idea for you to be a singer or a dancer. They all felt unhappy when you told them our plan. If possible, I will come and visit you this Sunday and do what I can persuade them.
【答案】1. send→sent
2. a→an
3.删除are
4. and→but
5. training→trained
6. success→successful
7. parent→parents
8. all→both
9. our→your
10.在persuade前接to
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。主要讲述了作者写给珍妮弗一封信的内容。
【详解】1.考查动词时态。句意:很高兴收到你昨天发给我的邮件。根据该句中的时间状语yesterday可知,此处应为一般过去时。故将send改为sent。
2.考查冠词。句意:你在邮件里告诉我你想去艺术学校学习。由该句art为首音节元音单词,所以前面冠词应为an。故将a改为an。
3.考查动词。句意:我知道你不仅喜欢唱歌,而且擅长跳舞。分析句子可知,该句的谓语动词为like,所以此处are多余。故将are删除。
4.考查固定搭配。句意:我知道你不仅喜欢唱歌,而且擅长跳舞。分析句子可知,此处为固定搭配not only…but also…“不但……而且……”,所以此处and应改为but。故将and改为but。
5.考查动词语态。句意:在我看来,如果你训练得当,总有一天你会成功的。根据句意可知,该句主语you和动词train为被动关系,所以为被动语态结构。故将training改为trained。
6.考查形容词。句意:在我看来,如果你训练得当,总有一天你会成功的。分析句子结构可知,该句success空前为be动词,此处应为形容词successful“成功的”作表语,满足句意要求。故将success改为successful。
7.考查名词复数形式。句意:然而,你的父母不认为让你成为一个歌手或舞者是一个好主意,。根据后文“ They”可知,父母指的是两个人,所以该句parent应为复数形式。故将parent改为parents。
8.考查代词。句意:当你告诉他们你的计划时,他们都感到不高兴。根据上文中的parents可知,此处的They应指代parents,所以其后的代词all应改为both,指两人。故将all改为both。
9.考查代词。句意:当你告诉他们你的计划时,他们都感到不高兴。根据句意可知,此处应表示“你的计划”,所以此处为代词的偷换人称,应将our改为your。故将our改为your。
10.考查动词不定式。句意:如果可能的话,我这个星期天去拜访你,尽我所能说服他们。根据句意可知,此处表示“尽我所能去说服他们”应用动词不定式作目的状语,故在persuade前接to。

Pingyao, in the center of Shanxi Province, is a famous historic cultural city of China and a world cultural heritage site (世界文化遗址). It’s 90 kilometers south of Taiyuan on the Fen River.
People lived in Pingyao during the New Stone Age. Its long period as a country government seat has left Pingyao with lots of historic buildings and sites, with a 2,700-year history. Ninety-nine of them are under government protection, including Zhengguo Temple, Shuanglin Temple and Pingyao Ancient City.
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, businessmen organized commercial (商业的) groups that did business nationwide. Shanxi Province had some of the most important ones and Pingyao was their center. In 1823, a store, known as Rishengchang (Sunrise Prosperity), traded in bank checks rather than in silver or gold coins. It was the beginning of modern Chinese banking. Branch banks were soon set up in major cities in China and other parts of Asia, leading to great development in Pingyao. Its Lacquer ware (漆器) became well known.
In Pingyao Ancient City are many traditional houses and commercial buildings, 3,797 of which are protected and more than 400 of which are in good condition. Not only do the houses in Pingyao show Shanxi’s history and culture, but this large number is valuable for studying its history, customs, and ancient buildings and art. Most of these houses are still used as homes and shops of local people.
In 1997, Ancient Pingyao City was listed in World Heritage List as “World Culture Heritage Site”.

First, find out which is north, south, east, and west. Next, look for the special signs and symbols on the map. This means you must find out what things stand for other things.
For example a red line usually stands for a main highway or freeway. A black line stands for a street, and a black line with little lines across it stands for a railroad. A blue line usually stands for a river. The size of cities is indicated by the size of a black dot. An airport is shown by a tiny plane.
All this information explaining what the lines and the shapes stand for is given in “the legend (图例)”. It is called the legend because it tells the story of the map. The legend is usually found at the bottom of the map.
Then, of course, in order to find your way, you must know where you are first. Mark this place on the map. Then, find the place on the map where you want to go and mark it. Now you can read the map to see what seems the best way to get to your destination.

Dear Jennifer,
I’m very glad to have received the e-mail you send me yesterday. You told me in your e-mail that you’d like to study in a art school. I know that you are not only like singing, and also are good at dancing. In my opinion, if you are training properly, you’ll be success one day. However, your parent didn’t think it a good idea for you to be a singer or a dancer. They all felt unhappy when you told them our plan. If possible, I will come and visit you this Sunday and do what I can persuade them.
