参考答案:
这篇文章主要讲了作者在一次考试中,没有取得很好的成绩,妈妈鼓励的话语,使得作者决定下次考试一定好好表现。
考查语态。句子主语“我”与谓语“获得”之间是主动关系,应该用主动语态,所以去掉was。
考查固定短语。这句话的意思是上次,我在考试中没有考好。do well in在……某方面干得好,是固定短语,所以good改成well。
考查固定短语。这句话的意思是我害怕它可能会让我的父母沮丧。let sb. down让某人沮丧,是固定短语,所以up改成down。
考查冠词。这句话的意思是所以我打算不告诉他们这个结果。特指“这个结果”,表特指用定冠词,所以result前面加the。
考查时态。整篇文章都用的一般过去时,表示发生在过去的事情,所以rush改成rushed。
考查宾语从句。这句话的意思是然后我的妈妈问我发生了什么事情。that had happened.是一个宾语从句,作asked的宾语,连接词在从句中作主语,所以that改成what。
考查名词。and连接两个并列的谓语,这里需要用一个名词作told的宾语,所以true改成truth。
考查代词。这句话的意思是她笑着告诉我,她依然为我骄傲。表示“依然为我骄傲”,所以her改成me。
考查固定用法。这句话的意思是她相信下次我一定可以表现好。next time下次,是固定用法,所以times改成time。
考查v+ing用法。以-ing结尾的动词变化而来的形容词一般修饰物,译为“令人…的”,常作定语;以-ed结尾的动词变化而来的形容词一般修饰人,译为“(人)…的”,常作表语,这里修饰名词words,所以encouraged改成encouraging。
类似的词还有:interest, interested(有兴趣的), interesting(令人感兴趣的)surprise, surprised(吃惊的), surprising(令人吃惊的)… ,对于这样的词汇,同学们注意平时积累。
三、 阅读理解
21. All around the world, shoppers flock to Wal-Mart to buy everything.In Texas, they come for another reason: to see the wind turbine(涡轮机), which supplies 5% of the store's electricity.It along with other facilities, such as exterior walls coated with heat-reflective paint, makes this Wal-Mart a green giant.
The laws of economics suggest that Wal-Mart, with 5, 200 stores worldwide, influences everything including the price of all kinds of goods.It throws its weight behind environmental responsibility, and the effects could be amazing."One little change in product packaging could save 1, 500 trees," says Wal-Mart CEO Lee Scott."If everybody saves 1, 500 trees or 50 barrels of oil, at the end of the day you have made a huge difference."
Scott wants Wal-Mart to do its part too.He has promised to cut the existing greenhouse-gas emissions(排放)over the next few years and promised to construct new stores that are more efficient.He wants Wal-Mart's fleet(车队)of more than 7, 000 trucks to get twice as many miles per gallon by 2015.Factories that show Wal-Mart they're cutting air pollution will get preferential treatment in the supply chain.Wal-Mart says it's working with consumer-product manufacturers to reduce their packaging and will reward them if they do so.
Some people may doubt it is a bid to attract attention from Wal-Mart's controversial labor and health-insurance practices.But it's not just window dressing, because Wal-Mart sees profits in going green.Scott says, "This is a business philosophy, not a social philosophy. We don't go where we don't think there's a great interest in change.”
Like Bill Gates, who started his charitable foundation, Scott happens to be promoting Wal-Mart's image at a time when his company's reputation is declining.He acknowledges that he launched the plan partly to shield(保护,庇护)Wal-Mart from bad press about its contribution to global warming." By doing what we're doing today, we avoid the headline risks that are going to come for people who did not do anything," he says."At some point businesses will be held responsible for the actions they take." Meanwhile, should Wal-Mart succeed at shrinking its environmental footprint and lowering prices for green products, both the planet and the company will profit.
73. We can infer from the passage that ______.
A. Lee Scott is Wal-Mart's CEO
B. there are 5,200 stores in the world
C. Wal-Mart has a great influence on the world market
D. Wal-Mart has more than 7, 000 trucks all over the world
74. What does the underlined sentence "This is a business philosophy, not a social philosophy." mean in the fourth paragraph?
A. Wal-Mart predicts huge profits in its green activity.
B. Wal-Mart's green activity is just window dressing.
C. Wal-Mart aims to solve its health-insurance practices.
D. Wal-Mart doesn't have any social responsibility at all.
75. What will Wal-Mart probably do in the future?
A. Reduce air pollution in its present stores.
B. Give favorable treatment to its consumers.
C. Ask the factories to reduce their packaging.
D. Demand the fleet of trucks to use more fuel than before.
76. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Provide the background of the green plan.
B. Analyze the similarity between Bill Gates and Scott.
C. Present the risk that Wal-Mart is facing nowadays.
D. Stress the purpose of Wal-Mart's green plan.

22. Heads turned, tears dropped, and gossip-filled whispers went on and on from the hospital passages to the house windows. There was a problem: a daughter had been born. She wasn’t the first disappointment born to her family. Although my aunt didn’t care about giving birth to a girl, her mother-in-law constantly reminded her of the criticism she would have to face if she gave birth to a daughter. In India, most people held these views.
When I visited my s during the summer, one sentence managed to fill me with anger and start arguments with my so-called s. “You are a girl, stay within your limits.” They simply don’t know how different it is living in the US. Anyway, comparisons to my cousins led me to end the arguments for the moment and accept the way they lived their lives.
My words didn’t make sense to them so my mind was set on proving them wrong.
Although their words didn’t tear me apart, their actions managed to. The amount of sexism(性别歧视) in this culture, especially my hometown, made me feel bad. It was the 21st century, yet women had to eat after the men at family gatherings. They had to cook all the family meals and were asked to take jobs that required little skill or education. It was time to change these views.
As I was growing older, the same s repeatedly questioned me about my future: “What do you want to be?” And the answer was always the same:electrical engineer. I have a passion for electronics; as clichéd(陈词滥调的) as it sounds, I was born to do it. When I connect wires together to repair something, I can’t contain my excitement. But when I tried to explain this to my s, all of them, except for my parents and grandparents, would be shocked and laugh at me — laugh because they didn’t think I could live up to my goals, being a “girl and all”. It was time to change these views.
In my world, being a girl is not a problem. Rather, it is an opportunity to allow passion, not stereotypes(成见), to shape my future. I decided to channel my s’ views into positive energy. Rather than letting them bring me down, I let them be motivation to achieve my goal of becoming an engineer. I, a female, will become a successful engineer.
4. The first paragraph was mainly written to .
A. describe how bad the author’s aunt felt for having a baby girl
B. describe the pressure the author’s aunt had to face when she was going to have a baby
C. show that most Indian people are strongly prejudiced against women
D. show that the author’s aunt’s generation is fighting against prejudice against women
5. From the second and third paragraphs, it can be concluded that .
A. the author realized that just using words couldn’t change the s’ sexism
B. the author’s friends and s were jealous about her life in the US
C. the author got used to being reminded to stay within her limits after she was born
D. the author often argued with her s because she believed US lifestyles were right
6. According to the text, the author decided to change her s’ views by .
A. achieving her ambition of changing her hometown
B. using her s’ comments as motivation
C. letting stereotypes influence her future decisions
D. achieving her dream of becoming an engineer
7. In the article, in what way does the author show how serious the amount of sexism was in her hometown?
A. By describing feeling defeated after arguments.
B. By describing people’s words, behavior and common practices.
C. By stressing the conflicts she had with her s.
D. By giving examples of how her goals were laughed at repeatedly.

6. 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的内容I decided to channel my s’ views into positive energy. Rather than letting them bring me down, I let them be motivation to achieve my goal of becoming an engineer.我决定把亲戚的观点变成积极的能量。而不是让他们把我打倒,我要让他们成为我实现成为工程师的梦想的激励。可知作者决定通过实现她成为工程师的梦想来改变亲戚们的观点。故选D。
7. 总结概括题。文章中作者通过语言“You are a girl, stay within your limits.”,以及阿姨生了女孩,婆婆的提醒her mother-in-law constantly reminded her of the criticism she would have to face if she gave birth to a daughter.,以及人们的惯常行为women had to eat after the men at family gatherings. They had to cook all the family meals and were asked to take jobs that required little skill or education.家庭聚会上女士要在男士们吃完之后才能吃饭,他们要做所有的饭菜并且被要求做不太需要技能和教育的工作。可知作者通过语言,行为以及人们的惯常来显示她的家乡性别歧视的严重。故选。
