本文簡(jiǎn)要介紹了《哈利波特》作者J.K.羅琳的家庭情況、怎樣和何時(shí)對(duì)故事產(chǎn)生興趣的以及《哈利波特》系列叢書取得成功的原因和過程。

1句意:J.K羅琳是《哈利波特》的作者,是世界上最優(yōu)秀的銷售者之一。A項(xiàng)為“好的”,是原級(jí)形式;B項(xiàng)為good的比較級(jí);C、D項(xiàng)為good的最高級(jí);根據(jù)語境,本句應(yīng)使用“one of+the+形容詞最高級(jí)+名詞復(fù)數(shù)”的用法,意為“最的之一”。由于形容詞最高級(jí)前的定冠詞the不可省略,故選D項(xiàng)。

2句意兩個(gè)女孩都喜歡聽他們爸爸的枕邊故事。A項(xiàng)意為“聽”,是不及物動(dòng)詞,加賓語是需要加介詞to;B項(xiàng)意為“說”,通常指說某種語言;C項(xiàng)為listen的現(xiàn)在分詞形式;D項(xiàng)為speak的現(xiàn)在分詞形式。本題考查like的動(dòng)詞短語,like to dolike doing都可以表示喜歡做某事,前者表示短暫性后者表示習(xí)慣性。依據(jù)like的短語,可知A、B項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤,根據(jù)語境,應(yīng)是聽爸爸的枕邊故事,而不是說,故選C項(xiàng)。

3句意羅琳在六歲時(shí)寫出了她的第一篇故事。本題考查固定短語at the age of…意為“在幾歲時(shí)”,故選B項(xiàng)。

4句意1992年,羅琳開始為年輕讀者們寫第一本《哈利波特》。A項(xiàng)為“寫”的動(dòng)詞原形;B為過去式;C為不定式形式;D為過去分詞形式。本題考查begin的動(dòng)詞短語:begin to dobegin doing,兩者都表示開始做某事,前者強(qiáng)調(diào)事情未做,后者強(qiáng)調(diào)正在做,根據(jù)短語要求,只能選C。

5句意1992年,羅琳開始為年輕讀者們寫第一本《哈利波特》。A作家;B司機(jī);C歌手;D讀者。本句提到Harry Potter book說明《哈利波特》是書籍,故本空選D。

6句意:現(xiàn)在《哈利波特》系列受到各個(gè)年齡段人的歡迎,大約有六千萬本書在大約200個(gè)國(guó)家里被賣掉。Agood的最高級(jí),意為“最好的”;B“受歡迎的”;C“高興地”;D“忙碌的”。本題考查固定短語be popular with..意為“受的歡迎”,根據(jù)語境,可判斷選B。

7句意:現(xiàn)在《哈利波特》系列受到各個(gè)年齡段人的歡迎,大約有六千萬本書在大約200個(gè)國(guó)家里被賣掉。選項(xiàng)中million意為“百萬”,其有兩種用法:(1)用在基數(shù)詞后,但million不可以加s,如500萬應(yīng)說成:five million;(2)構(gòu)成millions of固定短語,意為“數(shù)以百萬計(jì)的”,million必須加s,且短語后的名詞應(yīng)為復(fù)數(shù)形式。本空前已出現(xiàn)基數(shù)詞sixty,本題故選A項(xiàng)。

8句意:那就是為什么《哈利波特》系列會(huì)如此受歡迎。前文提到哈利是一個(gè)普通的男孩有禮貌友善、勇敢和睿智,當(dāng)孩子們讀關(guān)于哈利的故事時(shí),他們會(huì)想象成為像哈利一樣的人。A“什么時(shí)候”;B“哪里”;C“為什么”;D“什么”。根據(jù)前文語境,本題故用why引導(dǎo)表語從句,故選C。

9句意:J.K.羅琳很為成功而高興。A“傷心的”;B“焦慮的”;C“不開心的”;D“開心的”根據(jù)后文Now she's really enjoying life.她很享受生活,可知她一定是因?yàn)槿〉昧顺晒Χ_心,故選D項(xiàng)。補(bǔ)充:be happy with為固定短語,意為“因而開心”。

10句意:她說她會(huì)繼續(xù)寫孩子們的書。Awrite“寫”的原形形式;B項(xiàng)為過去式;C項(xiàng)為現(xiàn)在分詞形式;D項(xiàng)為不定式形式。go on doing sth.go on to do都表示繼續(xù)做某事,前者強(qiáng)調(diào)“繼續(xù)不停地做某事或間斷后繼續(xù)做原來沒有做完的事”,后者強(qiáng)調(diào)“接著做另一件事”,即接下去做與原來不同的一件事。根據(jù)本題語境只能選C。

【題目】Every hour spent watching TV, DVDs and videos as an adult reduces life by almost 22 minutes, a study suggests. And watching TV for an average of six hours a day can cut short your life by five years.

The researchers say they only want to tell people how dangerous watching TV for long time is. And they want to find out the relationship between watching TV and life.

Writing in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, they concluded(得出結(jié)論): TV watching time may have something to do with a loss of life.

The researchers, from the University of Queensland, used information from the Australian illnesses and lifestyle study, together with population and death rate data. But they said, “While we used Australian data, the effects in other countries are likely to be comparable(可比較的). In the UK, the average amount of time spent watching TV is four hours a day compared with five hours in the United States.

Some American researchers said that watching TV for long time can lead premature(過早的)death. Other study suggests that sitting for long can cause overweight and it can also make people take more junk foods.

England’s Chief Medical Officer, Sally Davies, says, “Physical activity offers huge benefits. We hope these studies will help more people realize that there are many ways to get exercise.” Her study shows that exercising for just 15 minutes a day can increase your life by up to three years.

Stop watching TV, sit up and take more exercise!

【題目】Car accidents happen everywhere every day and are the main cause of injury in the United States. In order to control the increasing accidents, many states have passed tough laws. Also, car manufacturers(生產(chǎn)商) have been trying to make safer cars to save lives.

However, as there are more and more cars and drivers on the road, these safety measures are not enough to stop the increasing car accidents. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration(管理部門) reports that a car accident happens every 10 seconds in the United States.

Car accidents may be caused by different reasons. Some accidents are caused by the driver's tiredness and illness or drunk driving. Some may be caused by speeding or running a red light. When this happens, by the time the driver realizes what has happened, it is usually too late. As for ages, young drivers usually don't have enough experience while elderly drivers react slowly. Mechanical defects(機(jī)械缺陷) such as a broken brake(剎車) are another cause of car accidents. Poor road and weather conditions can also be causes.

Talking about different causes of car accidents can help us know what precautions(預(yù)防措施) to take beforehand. We should tell our friends or family members not to drive in poor health or after drinking wine. We should tell teenage drivers to be careful with road and weather conditions and let elderly friends understand their driving limitation. Besides, we should have our cars checked regularly(規(guī)律地). The most important thing for us to remember, however, is that we should always follow the traffic rules.

1What has the government done to try to control the increasing car accidents?

A. They try to make safer cars.

B. They try to build more roads.

C. They have passed tough traffic laws.

D. They make drivers have their cars examined every month.

2What does the underlined word “elderly” possibly mean?

A. Middleaged. B. Young.

C. Rather old. D. Teenage.

3Which of the following causes is different from the other three?

A. Tiredness. B. Illness.

C. Drunk driving. D. A broken brake.

4Which has nothing to do with a driver's age?

A. Teenage drivers.

B. Not knowing the traffic rules.

C. Reacting slowly.

D. Driving experience.

5In order to avoid accidents caused by mechanical defects, we should ________.

A. .not run a red light

B. drive the car when we are in good health

C. not drive when we are too old

D. have our cars examined regularly
