【导语】本文讲述湖南岳阳外卖员易勋在送餐间隙坚持学习英语,成为百万粉丝博主,并用英语提升自我、改变生活的故事。
1. 句意:他的快递箱里有一些不一样的东西:英语学习资料。
上文提到他是外卖员,普通外卖员的快递箱里都是外卖,而他放的是英语资料,和别人不一样,different“不同的”,符合语境。funny“有趣的”,crazy“疯狂的”,不能体现和普通外卖员的区别。
2. 句意:等餐的时候,他会拿出这些资料学习英语。
上文提到他是外卖员,工作中需要在商家那里等待取餐,waiting for是固定搭配,意为“等待”,符合外卖员的工作场景。asking for“请求,要求”,looking for“寻找”,不符合外卖员等餐的语境。
3. 句意:他录制并在网上分享自己的学习经历。
上文提到他学习英语,空后说他成为了拥有百万粉丝的视频博主,只有把学习经历分享到网上,才能吸引粉丝,shares“分享”,符合语境。marks“标记”,develops“发展”,无法让他成为博主。
4. 句意:但是一首英文歌让他对英语产生了兴趣。
上文提到他以前英语不好,空后说他开始主动学习英语,说明他对英语产生了兴趣,interested“感兴趣的”,make sb interested in是固定搭配,意为“使某人对……感兴趣”,符合语境。bored“无聊的”,busy“忙碌的”,不能解释他开始学英语的原因。
5. 句意:易勋买了一个音乐播放器,开始学习如何正确地发英语音。
上文提到他用英文歌学英语,跟着歌曲学习的目的是把发音读准,correctly“正确地”,符合发音学习的要求。easily“容易地”,carefully“仔细地”,不强调发音标准。
6. 句意:开始工作后,他知道了英语的重要性,又拿起英语课本学习。
上文提到他重新开始认真学习英语,只有认识到英语很重要,才会坚持学习,importance“重要性”,符合语境。grammar“语法”,instructions“说明”,不能体现他坚持学习的动力。
7. 句意:在送餐的空闲时间,从拼读到发音,他在英语学习上投入了很多精力。
空后出现“spelling to pronunciation”,from...to...是固定搭配,意为“从……到……”,用来表示学习的范围。
8. 句意:对英语的热爱让他坚持下去。
上文提到他利用碎片时间努力学英语,是热爱让他一直没有停止,keeps“保持”,keep sb doing是固定搭配,表示“让某人一直做某事”,符合语境。makes“使”,encourages“鼓励”,不能和going构成正确搭配。
9. 句意:现在对他来说和外国人对话并不难。
本句是“it is+形容词+for sb to do sth”的固定句型,介词for后面要用人称代词宾格形式,him是宾格,意为“他”,符合语法规则。he是主格,作主语,his是物主代词,后面要接名词。
10. 句意:学习英语不仅仅是一个爱好,更是提升自我、改变生活的一种方式。
空后“有but a way”,not just...but...是固定搭配,意为“不仅仅……而且……”,符合句子逻辑。still“仍然”,yet“还”,不能构成这个短语。
Passage 8

For example, we use body movement (移动) or facial expressions and so on. I was happy and expected to learn more. During the class, we did an activity to show different feelings only by using our 2 . For example, when I wanted to express my 3 , I smiled and jumped up and down. My classmates laughed and joined in. It was fun to see how 4 we understood each other without speaking.
Later, the teacher explained that our body language could sometimes 5 the wrong messages. For example, crossing our arms can make us look 6 or unfriendly, even if we are not. She encouraged us to pay attention to how we stand and move when talking to others.
At the end of the class, I 7 that body language was very important. It could help us make friends and improve our 8 skills. I promised myself to practise body language every day.

Passage 9
阅读下面短文, 从每小题所给的 A、B、C 三个选项中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳答案。
Learning a new language is not easy. However, there are three qualities we can learn from the good language learners to improve our study.
Good learners 1 opportunities (机会) to use the language. When they’re abroad, they use the real environment to practice English. This way, they can 2 improve their language skills. Among these skills, they make the most noticeable progress in 3 English. What if there is no such an environment? They might try other ways to improve their language ability, such as spending time watching native-language programmes. They also 4 book sharing sessions (会议), creating chances to use oral language.
What’s more, good learners try different ways to make themselves 5 when learning a new language. 6 , if they don’t know the word for pizza, they might say “round, flat Italian dish with cheese and toppings”. Never giving up is one of their good 7 , which helps them make progress in their studies, Finally, one can 8 avoid making mistakes. When someone corrects their mistakes, good learners don’t feel 9 great pressure; instead, they see it as a learning opportunity. 10 they can’t follow what someone says for the first time, they are not afraid. Instead, they will ask the speaker to repeat it slowly until they can understand.
1. A.pay attention to B.get along with C.get out of
2. A.similarly B.quickly C.privately
3. A.national B.physical C.oral
4. A.attend B.imagine C.create
5. A.recorded B.noticed C.understood
6. A.However B.In short C.For example
7. A.qualities B.states C.distances
8. A.carefully B.hardly C.easily
9. A.under B.on C.in
10. A.Until B.Because C.If
【答案】
1. A 2. B 3. C 4. A 5. C 6. C 7. A 8. B 9. A 10. C
【导语】本文主要讲述了我们可以从好的语言学习者身上学到的三个品质,即抓住使用语言的机会、尝试不同方法融入学习新语言的过程、永不放弃,以帮助我们提高语言学习。
1. 句意:好的学习者留意使用语言的机会。
根据下文“When they’re abroad, they use the real environment”可知,他们利用环境,说明他们留意机会,所以选pay attention to。get out of意为逃避,与语境相反;get along with指与人相处,与“机会”不搭配。
2. 句意:这样,他们可以快速提高他们的语言技能。
由于身处真实环境,经常练习,所以能快速提高。quickly符合逻辑。similarly表示相似,但无对比;privately侧重私下,与语境无关。
3. 句意:在这些技能中,他们在英语口语方面取得了最显著的进步。
根据“using oral language”可知,此处指英语口语,oral English“英语口语”符合。national“国家的”;physical“身体的”,均与英语口语无关。
4. 句意:他们还参加图书分享会,创造使用口语的机会。
根据“book sharing sessions (会议)”可知,此处指参加会议,attend“参加”符合。imagine“想象”;create“创造”,若用create,则与后面的“creating chances”重复,且逻辑上应是先参加会议再创造机会,所以attend更合适。
5. 句意:更重要的是,好的学习者在学习一门新语言时尝试不同的方法让自己被理解。
根据下文例子,他们用描述表达,目的是让对方明白,所以是让自己被理解。make oneself understood是固定搭配。recorded和 noticed不符合。
6. 句意:例如,如果他们不知道“pizza”这个词,他们可能会说“一个圆的、平的、上面有奶酪和配料的意大利菜”。
根据“if they don’t know the word for pizza, they might say...”可知,此处是在举例说明好的学习者如何尝试不同的方法让自己被理解,For example“例如”符合。However“然而”,表示转折;In short“总之”,表示总结,均不符合语境。
7. 句意:永不放弃是他们的好品质之一,这有助于他们在学习中取得进步。
根据“Never giving up”可知,此处指永不放弃这种品质,qualities“品质”符合。states“状态”;distances“距离”,均与永不放弃这种品质无关。
8. 句意:最后,一个人几乎不可能避免犯错。
根据语境可知,此处表达避免犯错的难度,hardly“几乎不”符合。carefully“仔细地”;easily“容易地”,均与避免犯错的难度无关。
9. 句意:当有人纠正他们的错误时,好的学习者不会感到很大的压力。
根据“feel...great pressure”可知,此处指感到压力,under pressure“在压力下”符合。on“在……上”;in“在……里”,均与感到压力的搭配无关。
10. 句意:如果他们第一次听不懂别人说的话,他们不会害怕。
根据“they can’t follow what someone says for the first time”可知,此处是在假设一种情况,If“如果”符合。Until“直到”;Because“因为”,均不符合语境。

空后为时间状语从句,表示“当他每次英语考试时”,应用when。because“因为”和if“如果”不符合语境逻辑。

【导语】本文讲述了全优生Jake在拼写老师建议下备战拼字大赛,最终凭借努力取得成功的故事。
1. 句意:作为一名全优生,Jake无法忍受拼写测试总是得“C”。他知道必须找到一个解决办法。
前文提到Jake拼写成绩差,需要找到应对问题的办法。solution意为“解决办法”,符合语境;decision、suggestion 均不符合“解决拼写问题”的语境。
2. 句意:拼写老师Kaur女士建议他参加拼字大赛,并解释说比赛可能是个挑战,但也是提升的机会。
老师在给出建议后,向Jake说明比赛的意义,explained意为“解释”,符合语境;realised、repeated均不符合“向学生说明比赛性质”的逻辑。
3. 句意:Jake没有片刻犹豫,就决定为比赛训练。
固定搭配without a second thought意为“毫不犹豫”,符合Jake积极接受建议、立刻行动的态度;topic、break均无法构成该固定搭配。
4. 句意:他向Kaur女士借了一本单词书,开始记忆里面的单词。
拼字比赛需要记忆单词,memorizing意为“记忆”,符合比赛准备逻辑;discussing、creating均与拼写比赛的准备内容无关。
5. 句意:他也认真听讲,仔细记下老师在课堂上讲的内容。
paid attention to意为“注意、认真听讲”,符合“上课记笔记”的语境;got down to、got out of均不符合课堂场景。
6. 句意:当遇到不认识、难以记住的单词时,他仍然设法记住它们。
managed to意为“设法做成某事”,体现Jake克服困难、坚持背单词的态度;stopped to、reminded of均不符合“努力记住难词”的逻辑。
7. 句意:Jake通过了第一轮,进入了第二轮。
entered意为“进入”,符合比赛晋级的流程;left 、prepared 均不符合“通过第一轮后进入下一轮”的语境。
8. 句意:“C-O-L-L-E-G-E”,他大声回答道。

Recently, 14-year-old Harini Logan 1 the National Spelling Bee (单词拼写比赛) in the United States. She correctly spelled 22 words during a 90-second spell-off. The winning word was “moorhen”, which means a female red bird. Most Americans, however, would find 2 difficult to spell any of these words in the spelling bee! From an early 3 , native English speakers know there are clear differences between how words are pronounced and how they are spelled. But they do not know that the differences are unique (独一无二的) to English 4 the languages in the world. Words in Italian or French can be spelled more 5 because each letter matches to one sound. Students studying these languages can read 90 percent of the words they learned right after the first year.
In English, each letter may have two or more 6 . For example, the letter “C” can sound like an “S” as in “city”. And it also sounds like a “K” as in “cat”. If that is not hard enough, let’s try to pronounce the letter “X” as /ks/ in “box” and as /gz/ in “exam”. There are only 5 or 6 vowel letters in English, including A, E, I, O, U, and sometimes Y. 7 there are 20 different ways to sound them! For example, a double “o” sound in English can be pronounced as/u:/, as in the word “food” or /u/ as in the word “book”. This is why even after years of learning, students of English are still far behind Italian or French students in reading.
Besides, the spoken language 8 to change in the 1500s with the pronunciation of all long vowels (元音), especially in southern England. For example, the word “bite” was pronounced closer to “beet” in 1400, before changing through the years to its sound now. The effect was that the English language had 9 spellings, but new sounds. This is another reason 10 spelling in English is so difficult!

3. A.age B.book C.school

6. A.ways B.shapes C.sounds
7. A.Although B.So C.But
8. A.stopped B.began C.decided

age年龄;book书;school学校。根据“From an early...native English speakers know...”可知,是从很小的时候就懂得……,此处指的是年龄小,故选A。

Recently, 14-year-old Harini Logan 1 the National Spelling Bee (单词拼写比赛) in the United States. She correctly spelled 22 words during a 90-second spell-off. The winning word was “moorhen”, which means a female red bird. Most Americans, however, would find 2 difficult to spell any of these words in the spelling bee! From an early 3 , native English speakers know there are clear differences between how words are pronounced and how they are spelled. But they do not know that the differences are unique (独一无二的) to English 4 the languages in the world. Words in Italian or French can be spelled more 5 because each letter matches to one sound. Students studying these languages can read 90 percent of the words they learned right after the first year.
In English, each letter may have two or more 6 . For example, the letter “C” can sound like an “S” as in “city”. And it also sounds like a “K” as in “cat”. If that is not hard enough, let’s try to pronounce the letter “X” as /ks/ in “box” and as /gz/ in “exam”. There are only 5 or 6 vowel letters in English, including A, E, I, O, U, and sometimes Y. 7 there are 20 different ways to sound them! For example, a double “o” sound in English can be pronounced as/u:/, as in the word “food” or /u/ as in the word “book”.

For example, the word “bite” was pronounced closer to “beet” in 1400, before changing through the years to its sound now. The effect was that the English language had 9 spellings, but new sounds. This is another reason 10 spelling in English is so difficult!
1. A.lost B.beat C.won
2. A.this B.it C.them
3. A.age B.book C.school
4. A.among B.with C.from
5. A.mostly B.easily C.hardly
6. A.ways B.shapes C.sounds
7. A.Although B.So C.But
