Ⅰ.阅读理解
Many American cities have interesting nicknames.Nicknames can help establish the identity of a city.They can also spread pride among its citizens.But nicknames sometimes can make fun of something.
Cleveland,Ohio is a city in America's Midwest.One of its earliest nicknames was Forest City.No one knows for sure who gave it this name in the eighteen thirties.But Cleveland probably had a lot of trees.This nickname became popular among local businesses in the eighteen fifties.Today,some businesses in the Cleveland area still use Forest City in their names.
Cleveland sits next to Lake Erie,one of North America's Great Lakes,which was once a major manufacturing city.Ships used the lake for transporting goods.In the nineteen fifties,businesses called Cleveland,the Best Location in the Nation.
However,many factories closed or moved away.Cleveland had severe financial problems in the nineteen sixties and seventies.In nineteen sixtynine,the city became famous,but not in a good way.Cleveland's Cuyahoga River caught on fire because of industrial wastes on the surface of the river.So in the nineteen seventies,the national media began calling the city The Mistake on the Lake.
Since then,Cleveland has sought to improve its image,so the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum opened in Cleveland in nineteen ninetyfive.So the city is proud of its latest nickname,The Rock and Roll Capital of the World.
Another city in the Midwest is Detroit,Michigan,which lies near Great Lakes.Henry Ford started the Ford Motor Company in Detroit in nineteen hundred three.Five years later,he made the first “Model T” automobile.Within ten years,Detroit was being called The Motor City.It is still the center of the automobile industry in America.
Another popular nickname for Detroit is Motown.Berry Gordy,Junior started the Motown Record Corporation in Detroit in nineteen fiftynine.AfricanAmerican singers recording for the company were extremely popular in the nineteen sixties and nineteen seventies.Their records were so successful that Detroit was also called Hitsville (金曲乌托邦),USA.

[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文,介绍了纽约曼哈顿中城的百老汇区。
1.to list [考查非谓语动词。句意:在“大苹果”这里有太多可看、可做的事情,要花上一辈子的时间才能把它们一一列举出来!分析句子可知,在结果状语从句中it是形式主语,list them all(一一列举出来)为真正主语,应使用非谓语动词形式,又因句中“一一列举出来”表示具体的、要去做的事情,应用不定式作主语;且“It takes (sb.) some time to do sth.”为固定句型。故填to list。]
2.attractions [考查名词。句意:它是美国最受欢迎的旅游景点之一,绝对不能错过!“one of the+可数名词复数”为固定结构,表示“……之一”。故填attractions。]
3.be missed [考查动词语态。句意见上题解析。分析句子可知,miss (错过)是句中谓语动词,与主语 It之间是被动关系,应使用被动语态,又因空格前有情态动词 can't,所以被动语态中be动词用原形。故填be missed。]
4.represents [考查动词时态、语态与主谓一致。句意:百老汇区的咖啡馆、街头艺人和五颜六色的招牌真的代表了纽约的喧闹精神!根据就远原则,当主语后面有as well as,with,along with,together with,but,like,rather than和except连接几个名词时,谓语动词要与最前面的主语保持一致;分析句子可知,represent是谓语动词,与主语Broadway district是主动关系,用一般现在时态;根据就远原则,句中“with its cafes,street performers and colorful signs”不影响主语的数,主语Broadway district是单数概念。综上,谓语动词represent应使用一般现在时的主动语态,单数形式。故填represents。]
5.the [考查冠词。句意:由于百老汇是美国戏剧产业的中心,它真正活跃的时候是在晚上。根据句意可知,句中heart(中心)是特指“美国戏剧产业的中心”,前面应使用定冠词。故填the。]
6.truly [考查副词。句意见上题解析。根据句意可知,修饰动词短语comes alive,应使用副词形式truly。故填truly。]
7.for [考查介词。句意:百老汇以它的大剧院而闻名,上演莎士比亚的作品、现代戏剧、舞蹈表演或音乐剧——你可以选一个。“be famous for...”为固定结构,表示“因……而闻名”。故填for。]
8.that/which [考查定语从句。句意:这是一种令人感动和惊奇的体验,我相信你会喜欢的——有点像京剧。分析句子可知,空格处引导限制性定语从句,修饰先行词experience,关系词代替先行词experience在定语从句中作love的宾语,应使用关系代词that/which。故填that/which。]
9.Based [考查非谓语动词。句意:改编自《悲惨世界》或《彼得·潘》等经典故事,一些音乐剧也许会激发你去读原著的兴趣。短语be based on,表示“以……为基础/根据”。结合句意,分析句子可知,“(base) on classic stories like Les Miserables or Peter Pan”在句中作原因状语,可用过去分词形式。故填Based。]
10.cultural [考查形容词。句意:我们都在考虑寒假去中国旅行,在那里我们可以体验不同的文化特色。根据句意可知,culture在句中作定语修饰名词features,应用形容词形式。故填cultural。]
