He had to stop working and he couldn’t focus. After several such breaks, David got an idea. He found that there was a map of the world in the evening paper. He showed the map to Helen. Then he cut it into pieces and told Helen to put the map together again. He thought this would keep Helen busy for a long time and he could complete his work. However, in about four minutes Helen excitedly told David she had finished the task (任务). David was surprised and asked the girl how she had done it so quickly.

When you are reading something in English, you may often meet with a new word. What’s the best way to know it?

But how can you know where the word is in thousands of English words? How to find it in the dictionary both quickly and correctly?
First, all the English words are arranged (安排) in the letter order. In the dictionary you can first see the words beginning with the letter A, then B, C, D ... That means, if there are two words “general” and “mobile”, “general” will be certainly before “mobile”. Then if there are two words both beginning with the same letter, you may look at the second letter. Then the third, the fourth ... For example, “before” is before “born”, “foreigner” before “forest”.
Do you understand how to look up a word in a dictionary? The dictionary will be your good friend. I hope you’ll use it as often as possible in your English learning.
12. Which of the following is Not mentioned (被提到) in the passage?
A. How to pronounce the word. B. The spelling of the word.
C. Who used the word first. D. How to use the word.

C. The English-Chinese dictionary is a good friend in our English learning.
D. All English-Chinese dictionaries are the same.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍英汉词典包含的单词相关信息,并讲解词典按字母顺序排列单词的查词方法,建议英语学习中多使用词典。
【12题详解】
根据文章第一段“It will tell you a lot about the word, the pronunciation, the part of speech, the Chinese meaning and also how to use the word.”可知,词典提供了发音、词性、中文意思和用法,文中并未提及“谁最先使用这个单词”。
【13题详解】
根据文章第二段可知,词典中的单词是按字母顺序排列的。B项“straight (st), subject (su-b), surprise (su-r)”完全符合字母顺序排列规则。
【14题详解】
根据文章第二段“In the dictionary you can first see the words beginning with the letter A, then B, C, D…”可知,在英汉词典中,以字母A开头的单词排在最前面。
【15题详解】

【导语】本文围绕青少年旅行展开,分别介绍小镇与大城市两种旅行目的地的优势,说明合适的旅行有益于青少年成长,同时指出充分准备对顺利出行的重要性。
【21题详解】
句意:或许不同的人有不同的选择。
前文询问空闲时间想去哪里游玩,后文指出有人喜欢小镇、有人喜欢大城市,这是不同的选择,对应名词choices“选择”;requests“要求”;secrets“秘密”;hobbies“爱好”均不符合语境。
【22题详解】
句意:一些人喜欢安静的小镇,然而另一些人喜爱热闹的大城市。
while用于对比两种不同人群的喜好,表转折;though“虽然”表让步,so“因此”表结果,or“或者”表选择,逻辑不匹配。
【23题详解】
句意:花同样的钱,你可以游览更多地方、品尝当地美食。
小镇旅行花销更低,同等预算能去到更多地点,more“更多的”修饰可数名词places;fewer“更少的”语义相反,most“最多的”无比较含义,less修饰不可数名词。
【24题详解】
句意:另一方面,大城市有众多景点。
前文介绍小镇优势,本段切换到大城市进行对比,On the other hand“另一方面”用于转折对比;In general“总的来说”;From time to time“偶尔”;First of all“首先”无对比作用。
【25题详解】
句意:它们十分国际化,这意味着你可能遇见来自世界各地的游客。
本句是非限制性定语从句,指代前面整件事,用关系代词which;what不引导定语从句,whom指代人,where在从句中作地点状语。
【26题详解】
句意:此外,购物更加容易、更加方便,因为有许多大型商场和超市。
大量商场让购物变得方便,convenient“方便的”;private“私人的”;natural“自然的”;active“积极的”不符合商场带来的购物体验。
【27题详解】
句意:当学生被学业压力困扰时,短途旅行能带来新活力,让他们振作起来。
旅行缓解压力,带来精力活力,energy“活力、精力”;ability“能力”;message“信息”;chance“机会”语义不通。
【28题详解】
句意:但顺利的旅行需要充足的准备。
后文介绍出行前要了解风俗、备齐物品,说明旅行需要准备,requires“需要”;repeats“重复”;avoids“避免”;cares“关心”均不符句意。
【29题详解】
句意:总而言之,无论你去往小镇还是大城市,都能开阔眼界。
whether...or...为固定搭配,表示“无论……还是……”;wherever“无论哪里”;unless“除非”;even though“即使”无法搭配后文or。
【30题详解】
句意:每一段旅程都会留给你美好的回忆与难忘的人生经历。
与“wonderful memory”并列,unforgettable“难忘的”贴合旅行体验;unbelievable“难以置信的”;uncomfortable“不舒服的”;uncountable“数不清的”不符合褒义语境。
第二节 语法填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或用括号内所给单词的正确形式填空。
The sentence pattern “Could you please tell me where ...?” is ____31____ (wide) used in public places, such as museums, supermarkets and parks. Therefore, using polite ____32____ (express) is very important when we ask for directions. It is also necessary for tourists to know the proper way to ask for information.
One sunny morning, a visitor named Jack arrived in our city. He planned to visit the famous History Museum but got lost on his way. While he ____33____ (check) his map, he noticed a student standing near the bus stop and walked up to ask for help. Jack smiled and asked politely, “Excuse me, could you please tell me how ____34____ (get) to the History Museum?” The student told him to go along the street until he reached a large park and then turn left at ____35____ first crossing. He also told Jack he could take Bus No. 10 to get there. Jack decided to take the bus. Twenty minutes later, he got off the bus, but he still ____36____ (fail) to find the museum. He felt a little worried, so he stopped an old lady and asked where the museum was. The lady pointed to a tall building and said, “Look! It’s right over there, beside the park.” Jack looked and finally found the museum.
Jack visited the museum ____37____ great interest and took lots of photos. ____38____ noon, he had a bowl of delicious noodles in a nearby restaurant. He found people were happy to help when he used polite sentences like “Could you please ...?” This experience taught him a simple ____39____ (true): If we are polite when asking for help, others are usually ____40____ (will) to lend us a hand.
【答案】31. widely
32. expressions
33. was checking
34. to get 35. the
36. failed 37. with
38. At 39. truth
40. willing
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述游客Jack来到陌生城市想去历史博物馆,途中多次问路,礼貌求助成功抵达目的地。
【31题详解】
句意:“Could you please tell me where …?”这个句型在博物馆、超市、公园等公共场所被广泛使用。修饰动词used需要副词,wide的副词形式为widely,表示“广泛地”。
【32题详解】
句意:因此,当我们问路时,使用礼貌用语非常重要。polite为形容词,后接名词;此处泛指各类礼貌表达,用可数名词复数,express的名词形式expression,复数为expressions。
【33题详解】
句意:当他正在查看地图时,他注意到公交站旁站着一名学生,于是走上前去求助。while引导时间状语从句,强调过去某个时刻正在发生的动作,主句为一般过去时,从句用过去进行时;主语he,be动词用was,check变为现在分词checking。
【34题详解】
句意:打扰一下,请问你能告诉我如何去历史博物馆吗?固定结构“how to do sth.”如何做某事,此处用不定式to get。
【35题详解】
句意:学生告诉他沿着这条街一直走到一座大公园,然后在第一个十字路口左转。序数词first前面必须加定冠词the,at the first crossing为固定搭配。
【36题详解】
句意:二十分钟后,他下了公交车,但仍然没能找到博物馆。全文讲述过去发生的故事,时态为一般过去时,fail的过去式为failed。
【37题详解】
句意:杰克怀着极大的兴趣参观了博物馆,拍了很多照片。固定搭配with great interest,表示“怀着浓厚的兴趣”,with表伴随状态。
【38题详解】
句意:中午,他在附近一家餐馆吃了一碗美味的面条。固定短语at noon,意为“在中午”,句首首字母大写。
【39题详解】
句意:这次经历教会了他一个简单的道理。simple是形容词,修饰名词;true的名词形式为truth,表示“真相,道理”。
【40题详解】
句意:如果我们求助时态度礼貌,别人通常乐意伸出援手。固定搭配be willing to do sth.“乐意做某事”,will的形容词形式willing。
