Seventeen-year-old Rivertown teenager, John Janson, was honoured at the Lifesaver Awards last night for carrying out lifesaving first aid on his neighbour after a shocking knife    36  .
John was presented with his award at a ceremony which recognized the    37   of the ten people who have saved the life of others.
John had been studying in his room when he heard  38 . When he and his father rushed outside, they    39   that Anne Slade, mother of three, had been stabbed（刺）   40   with a knife by her ex-boyfriend（前男友）. The man ran from the  41  and left Ms Slade lying in her front garden    42   very heavily. Her hands had almost been cut off.
It was John’s quick    43   and knowledge of first aid that saved Ms Slade’s life. He immediately asked a number of the    44   people for bandages（繃帶）, but when nobody could put their hands on anything, his father got some tea towels（毛巾）and    45   from their house. John used these to dress the most severe    46   to Ms Slade’s hands. He slowed the bleeding by applying pressure to the wounds until the    47   and ambulance arrived.
“I’m    48   of what I did but I was just doing what I had been    49  ,” John said.
John had taken part in the Young Lifesaver Scheme at his high school. When   50  John, Mr Alan Southerton, Director of the Young Lifesaver Scheme, said, “   51  is no doubt that John’s quick thinking and the first aid52   that he had learned at school saved Ms Slade’s life. It shows that a simple knowledge of the first aid can make a real   53  .”
John and the nine other lifesavers also attended a    54   reception yesterday hosted by the Prime Minister before    55   their awards last night.

試題分析：本文介紹了17歲的年輕人約翰對受傷的鄰居實施急救的過程，和因此而受到嘉獎的故事。
小題1:attack攻擊，進攻，其他選項意思不符合句義。show展覽。work工作。defend防護。根據(jù)后面的內(nèi)容我們知道不是用刀防衛(wèi)，而是被持刀襲擊。B 
小題2:bravery勇敢。life生命。thinking思想。progress進步。該句表達的是對10名救了他人性命的人的勇敢進行嘉獎，所以選擇bravery，其他三個詞放在這里意思不對。A 
小題3:screaming尖叫聲。John正在房間里學(xué)習(xí)時，突然聽到了尖叫聲，所以緊接著他和他的父親馬上跑出去看個究竟。D
小題4:他們“發(fā)現(xiàn)”Anne Slade被刺傷了。D 
小題5:A repeatedly重復(fù)地，再三地。quickly快速地。frequently經(jīng)常地，頻繁地。gradually
逐漸地。這里講的是被反復(fù)刺了好幾刀，其他詞義與句義不符。所以選擇A。
小題6:ran from the scene從現(xiàn)場跑了；其他選項中的地點文章并沒有明確透露，所以無從判斷。C
小題7:被刺了好幾刀以后“流血”不止，所以bleeding更加符合邏輯；此外，根據(jù)后面的找繃帶止血也可以推斷出應(yīng)該是bleeding。選C 
小題8:action行動；本句是個強調(diào)句，強調(diào)是因為John快速采取行動對Anne Slade進行急救才救了她的性命。其他三個選項的意思放在這里不適合。選A
小題9:nearby附近的。其他選項意思與句義不符。選B
小題10:當(dāng)周圍的人們都找不到繃帶時，他父親回家取來了毛巾和“膠帶”。選B
小題11:這里說的是“包扎傷口”，所以用injuries。damages損害，傷害。pains疼痛。選C
小題12: 后面已經(jīng)出現(xiàn)了救護車，所以只有police放在這里最合理。選D
小題13:四個選項的意思只有proud放在這里最為合理，“我為我所做的一切感到驕傲”。選A
小題14:下文就講到了John在高中時參加了Young Lifesaver Scheme，是在那里學(xué)到了有關(guān)急救的常識，因此這里用been taught。選B
小題15:在祝賀John得獎時”，所以用congratulating。其他三個選項的意思放在這里不合句義。選D
小題16:There is no doubt that … 毫無疑問……。選A
小題17:first aid skill急救技能。其他三個詞意思不合適，instructions說明，指導(dǎo)。key關(guān)鍵。history歷史。選A
小題18:discovery發(fā)現(xiàn)。harm傷害。difference不同。choice選擇。放在句子中只有difference的意思最為合理，“一點簡單的急救知識可以帶來不同的結(jié)果”。選C
小題19:recent近來的。secret秘密的。private私人的。special特殊的。只有special放在句中最為合理。選D
小題20:give 給，贈與。offer提供。announce宣布。主語是“John和其他9位救生者”，
所以前三個選項的動詞如要放在這里應(yīng)用過去分詞表被動；receive得到，與句子主語是
主動關(guān)系，故選選D。
點評：先讀懂全文，弄清文章要表達的思想，答題中，一定要認真分析，注意選項與上下文的關(guān)系，對于一時沒有太大的把握的題可以放到最后再來完成，因為有時答案可以從下文內(nèi)容體現(xiàn)出來。答完后再通讀一篇文章，看看所選選項能不能是語句通順，語意連貫。

It was a quiet village in which there was a military camp (軍營). It was far from the towns and cities and there were some high mountains around. Of course it was a good place for training the new soldiers. But it was difficult for the young men to go outside. Mr. White, an officer of forty, was strict with them and he hardly let them leave the camp.
Once Mr. White was ill in bed. He couldn’t work and a young officer, Mr. Hunt, began to train the new soldiers instead of him. He knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday. But night fell and none came back to the camp. He was worried about it and stood at the gate. It was five to twelve when Mr. Hunt decided to go to the town and see what was happening to the young men. He started the car quickly and set off. At that moment the nine soldiers came back. It seemed they drank wine. Of course they found the officer was angry.
“I’m sorry, sir,” said the first soldier. “I left the town on time. But something was wrong with my bus on my way here. I had to buy a horse and made it run fast. Bad luck! It died and I had to run back.”
And the other seven soldiers said they were late for the same reasons. It was the last soldier’s turn. He said, “I’m sorry, sir. I got on a bus on time, but....”
Having heard this, the officer became even angrier and stopped him at once. He called out, “If you say something was wrong with your bus, I’ll punish you at once!”
“No, no, sir,” said the young man. “My bus was all right, but the dead horses were in its way!”
小題1:The military camp was built in the village to ________.
A．stop the soldiers from going to towns
B．stop the soldiers from meeting their friends
C．train the new soldiers
D．make the young men live quietly
小題2:Mr. Hunt let the nine soldiers have a holiday because ________.
A．he was kind to themB．they felt lonely
C．they had something important to doD．they were the best of all
小題3:The young officer was worried because ________.

B．he was afraid something happened to the nine soldiers
C．the nine soldiers would come back

One day，four lawyers were riding their horses along a country road. There had been a rain. Water was dripping (滴) from the trees，and the grass was wet. They rode slowly，talking and laughing. Suddenly they heard some noises from the tree above them. “What is the matter?” asked the first lawyer. “Oh, it's only some old birds!” said the second lawyer. “The storm made one of the babies fall out of the nest. It is too young to fly, and the mother bird is very worried.” “What a pity! It’ll die down there in the grass,” said the third lawyer. “It doesn't matter. It's only a bird,” said the second lawyer. Then they rode on, talking and laughing as before. But the fourth lawyer, whose name was Abraham Lincoln, stopped. He got down from his horse and took the little one in his big warm hands.
“Never mind, my little fellow ,” said Mr. Lincoln. “I will put you back in your little nest.” He climbed up the tree and put the bird softly into their warm little home. A few minutes later, Mr. Lincoln joined them again. His shoes were covered with mud and he was wet. Then the other three laughed at him. They thought it was foolish for a strong man to do so much just for a young bird. “Gentlemen,” said Mr. Lincoln, “I could not sleep tonight if I had left the helpless bird in the grass.” Later Abraham Lincoln became very famous as a lawyer.

"Colour" and "color"，"favourite" and "favorite"... Have you ever wondered why Americans spell those words without a "u"? Is it because they are lazy?
Of course not. In fact，the difference in spelling was created by Noah Webster (1758-1843). He is a teacher who reformed English to make American identity stronger. Linguists (語言學(xué)家) celebrated his 250th birthday on October 16. After the Revolutionary War (1775~ 1783)，Webster believed that Americans should have their own dictionary，rather than rely on British versions (版本). He dropped the British "u" in some words. And he changed "centre" into "center" for children to learn English by spelling words more like they sounded.
Webster wasn't shy about expressing his opinions. In defining (定義) preposterous (unreasonable)，he wrote: "A republican government in the hands of females is preposterous."
Webster spent 28 years on the project before completing the 70,000-word dictionary in 1828 with his American-style spellings. He also added local words. His dictionary was widely used in schools. Linguists believed it helped a new nation achieve unity and cultural independence at a time when most were focused on political freedom.
"He was the shaper of our language and the shaper of American identity，"said Joshua Kendall，who is working on a biography (傳記) about Webster. "He at last bonded (聯(lián)合)us through our language."
小題1:Which of the following would probably be the best title for the passage?
A．The shaper of American English.
B．American identity.
C．Webster's dictionary.
D．Spelling differences between American and British English.
小題2:According to the passage，when he worked on his dictionary, Noah Webster did all of the following EXCEPT        .
A．voicing his opinion B．changing "centre" into "center"
C．a(chǎn)dding local words D．dropping "u" in all the British words
小題3:Which of the following word can best describe Noah Webster’s work?
A．Interesting. B．Meaningful. C．Unfinished. D．Boring.
小題4:Why did Noah Webster create these differences in his dictionary?
A．Because he wanted to make English simple and easy.
B．Because he wanted to show that the USA is stronger than the UK.
C．Because he wanted to achieve political freedom.
D．Because he wanted American English to have its own characteristics.
小題5:When did Noah Webster probably begin his project of the dictionary?
A．In 1758. B．In 1783. C．In 1800.D．In 1828.

You might say that Barack Obama was elected President of the US because he knows how to give a speech. In 2004, the little-known Obama gave a speech at the Democratic National Convention (民主黨全國會議). It was a great speech — poetic, and inspiring. The people who heard it would remember it for a long time.
Since 2004, Obama has written and delivered thousands of speeches. There are usually praised for two reasons: he treats the audiences like intelligent adults, and he is able to express complicated ideas in a straightforward, natural way.
Before becoming President, Obama was a lawyer, a college professor, and a successful writer – his two memoirs (回憶錄) have become best sellers. The skills he needed to succeed in his previous jobs have also contributed to his success as a speechmaker.
As a lawyer, Obama learned how to make strong, convincing arguments. As a professor, he learned how to explain complex subjects in ways that helped students understand without boring them. As a writer, he learned how to use languages to have a powerful influence on his audience. A famous American musician even turned one of Obama’s early speeches into a song during the election campaign.
Secret weapons of Obama
Writing team: Obama has a team of people who write his speeches. The writers chat with Obama for hours about what he wants to say. Then listen to recordings of past presidential addresses and seek advice from advisers. Obama usually edits and rewrites the drafts several times.
Make fun of the guests: Obama starts his speech by gently making fun of his guests. His opening lines attract the audience’s attention while giving them an opportunity to relax and laugh at themselves and each other.
Make fun of himself: Obama laughs at his past mistakes and is never afraid of showing them to the public.
Obama delivers speeches to audiences large and small. He can make his audiences laugh or cry. His speeches are always thoughtful, well written and just right for each occasion.
小題1:The third and fourth paragraph mainly talk about _______.
A．why Obama’s speeches are praised
B．how Obama acquired his speaking ability
C．what subjects Obama’s speeches are about
D．Obama’s success as a writer and a lawyer
小題2:What do we know about Obama’s writing team according to the passage?
A．They always seek advice from the ordinary people.
B．They analyze the speeches given by former US Presidents.
C．They usually have to finish writing a speech in a short time.
D．They try not to mention Obama’s past mistakes in the speeches.
小題3:When delivering a speech, Obama __________.
A．usually starts with some famous saying
B．sometimes turns his speech into a song
C．sometimes shares a joke with the audience
D．is very strict most of the time
