【解析】本文節(jié)選自百萬(wàn)英鎊這篇小說(shuō)，主人公亨利意外來(lái)到倫敦，當(dāng)他去飯館吃飯的時(shí)候，人們看到他衣衫襤褸，所有人都看不起他，對(duì)他很粗魯。當(dāng)他拿出這張百萬(wàn)英鎊時(shí)，人們馬上換了一副嘴臉，都對(duì)他很恭敬，并且盡自己最大的努力去取悅他。

【1】考查冠詞。泛指“一位美國(guó)商人”，且American的首字母發(fā)音是元音，所以用不定冠詞an。

【2】考查常用結(jié)構(gòu)。Himself與carry是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，所以用過(guò)去分詞。

【3】考查連詞。句意：當(dāng)他準(zhǔn)備要放棄的時(shí)候，他被一艘輪船發(fā)現(xiàn)了。所以填when。

【4】考查固定用法。句意：當(dāng)他準(zhǔn)備要放棄的時(shí)候，他被一艘輪船發(fā)現(xiàn)了，所以他偶然去了倫敦。and so是固定用法，意思是因此、所以。所以填and。

【5】考查副詞。修飾動(dòng)詞called用副詞，所以填unexpectedly。

【6】考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。Henry與know之間是主動(dòng)關(guān)系，所以用現(xiàn)在分詞。所以填knowing。

【7】考查連詞。句意：每一個(gè)人對(duì)他都很粗魯，因?yàn)樗律酪h褸。所以填because。

【8】考查固定用法。句意：一看到這張百萬(wàn)英鎊，飯館里所有的人都開(kāi)始對(duì)他有禮貌并且他們盡自己最大的努力，來(lái)讓亨利高興。on seeing 一看見(jiàn)on表示:一...就...,，后面要用動(dòng)詞ing形式。所以填on。

【9】考查固定用法。句意：一看到這張百萬(wàn)英鎊，飯館里所有的人都開(kāi)始對(duì)他有禮貌并且他們盡自己最大的努力，來(lái)讓亨利高興。Try one’s best to do sth. 是固定用法，意思是盡某人最大的努力做某事，所以填best。

【10】考查代詞。難道你不認(rèn)為這是世界上最難以置信的故事嗎？所以填you。

【題目】Digital technology — email and smart phones especially — have vastly improved workers' ability to be productive outside of a traditional office. Even so, most white-collar work still happens in an office. One reason is that, according to findings of a new survey (調(diào)查) of office workers conducted by Wakefield Research for the IT company Citrix, most bosses are doubtful about remote working. Half of the workers say their boss doesn't accept it and only 35 percent say it’s tolerated.

Skeptical bosses will likely have their doubts reinforced (加深) by the same survey, which shows that 43 percent of workers say they’ve watched TV or a movie while “working” remotely, while 35 percent have done housework，and 28 percent have cooked dinner.

It is true, however，that working at home makes people much more efficient (高效的)， because it allows workers to take care of annoying housework while still getting their jobs done. It’s much faster, for example, to shop for groceries at a quarter to three than to stand in line during the after-work rush.

The fact that such practices remain officially unaccepted reflects how far we haven't come as a society from the days when we expected every full-time worker to be supported by a full-time homemaker.

More broadly the Wakefield survey suggests that employers may be missing a low-cost way to give workers something of value. Sixty-four percent of those survey participants who have worked remotely would rather give up some bonus in order to get even one day a week working from home. Under such circumstances, smart firms need to find ways to let their employees have enough flexibility to manage their time efficiently.

【1】Why do some employers hesitate to allow remote working?

A. They fear losing control of their workers.

B. They want to stick to their routine practice.

C. They have little trust in modem technology.

D. They are used to face-to-face communication.

【2】What seems to be most workers’ attitude toward remote working?

A. Doubtful.B. Favorable.C. Reserved.D. Disapproving.

【3】What does the author suggest smart firms do?

A. Shorten their office hours.

B. Give employees a pay raise.

C. Adopt flexible work patterns.

D. Reduce their staff’s workload.

During this summer holiday, my parent and I climbed Mount Huang. The weather was such fine that the three of us could enjoy the sunrise. At 4:00 the next morning we were already on a top. While waited for the sunrise, we were all excited. First a bit of pale light appeared the east. Suddenly, the sun came out, was looking like a large ball, but the sky became red. Late on, the sunlight became so strong that we couldn't look at it directly. In the afternoon, they said goodbye to Mount Huang, that made a good impression on me.

【題目】Mike the Headless Chicken Festival

In 1945, farmer Lloyd Olsen attempted to cut off the head of Mike, a chicken, so his wife could cook it up for dinner. However, the bird didn’t die and lived another year and a half, making regular trips to the fair, where people paid a quarter to see the amazing headless bird.

Today, the spirit of Mike the Headless Chicken is celebrated with a two-day May festival in Fruita, Colorado, which includes live music, a golf tournament and lots of delicious chicken.

Roswell UFO Festival

In the summer of 1947, a flying saucer (碟狀物) crashed on a large farm outside the town of Roswell, New Mexico. The government says it didn’t come from outer space, while many top UFO researchers believe it did.

Knowing a good thing when it crashes in their backyard, the citizens of Roswell celebrate the event every July with a three-day festival that features a costume contest, a parade and other activities. Be careful, though — that strange little person next to you could be from another planet!

World’s Largest Rattlesnake Roundup

The rattlesnake, a poisonous American snake, serves an important function in nature by keeping small pests under control, but when their numbers grow too large, they can cause serious problems for farmers. That’s why every March the residents of Sweetwater, Texas, host a three-day festival in association with the town’s annual rattlesnake hunt.

Visitors can learn about rattlesnakes, take a bus tour of their natural habitat, participate in a rattlesnake eating contest and so on.

Bug Fest

Every September, the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences in Raleigh sponsors a daylong festival that focuses on something most people try to avoid: insects.

Visitors can hold bugs that are not native, cheer on racing insects and learn about beekeeping. But the highlight for many is Café Insecta, where bugs are the main ingredient in a variety of tasty dishes.

【題目】House Sitting

In many countries of the world people do what is called house sitting. It means that if owners of the house are going away, they want someone to come into their home and look after the house and maybe pets while they are away.

In Australia, many people travel. After people retire, they might buy a van and travel all over the country. 【1】 (many people—retired people—thousands of them)

So if someone wants to travel or go away for some reason, they might want someone in their home to care for it and keep the gardens tidy. House sitters might have to care for pets. Also, quite a few people have swimming pools in their back yards and they need cleaning. 【2】 I feel it is a great way of seeing the country, because you go and stay in a new city, get to meet new people, and have time to go sightseeing in a new area.

【3】 There are websites where you find the advertisements by people who want to travel, and by replying to the advertisement, you can make arrangements to go and look after their home.

There are some requirements to be a house sitter. You must be a trusted person, so that the home owner knows you will not steal anything. You must be able to go when the house owner wants you to go, so you need lots of free time. 【4】 You need to be good with pets, able to care for cats and dogs, or other pets they may have.

Some house sitting jobs are just for a few days or a couple of weeks while the home owner has a short holiday. Sometimes it is for much longer. We have had one house sit for six months, while the home owner travelled to Europe.

【5】 Then you can travel to many different countries and stay there. One of the important things to get are references from the home owners where you have stayed. A reference is a written letter to say that you are trustworthy and have looked after their home well. You can show these letters to prospective house sitting jobs and they know you will do a good job.

A. I have done house sitting many times.

B. Thousands of people do this all the time.

C. It is also possible to do house sitting in other countries.

D. Generally you have many opportunities to get a house sitting job.

E. You must take a little care over what your description says about you.

F. This is an international house sitting service for all city and country areas.

G. You must have a good car, so you can travel to different parts of the country.
