(2010年郑州第一次检测)
Willa Cather once said，“When people ask me whether writing has been a hard or easy road，I always answer with the famous saying: The end is nothing；the road is all.That is what I mean when I say writing has been a pleasure.I have never used the computer with the thought that one more task had to be done.”
Like most writers，Willa Cather did not write books for the money that they brought her，but rather for the pleasure that came in their writing.Her works were，like her，simple and full of the vigor of her days in Nebraska，where she grew from child to young womanhood and where she developed a deep love for the treeless land of the great plain with its wild flowers，wheat fields and rivers.
“It’s a rather strange thing about the flat country，” she wrote later.“It takes hold of you or it leaves you perfectly cold.A great many people find it very dull；they like a church tower，an old factory，a waterfall，the country all made to look like a German Christmas card ...But when I come to the open plain，something happens.I’ m home.I breathe differently.”
1．Willa Cather wrote because she found writing________.
A．simple and lively
B．opened up a road to success
C．neither too hard nor too easy
D．interesting and enjoyable
2．What was the place like where Cather grew up?
A．It was cold，plain and without a church.
B．It was vast，open and flat.
C．It was like a German Christmas card.
D．It was a colorful world of wild flowers.
3．When she said “It takes hold of you or it leaves you perfectly cold.”，Willa Cather meant that________.
A．you either love the place or hate it
B．you decide either to stay or to leave
C．some find the place warm；others find it cold
D．some find the place peaceful；others find it wild
4．What happens when Cather comes to the open plain?
A．She breathes differently from others.
B．She wants to make the place her home.
C．She feels completely comfortable.
D．She finds the place similar to her home.
(2010年福建四地六校联考)
Every country tends to accept its own way of life as being the normal one and to praise or criticize others，as they are similar to or different from it.And unfortunately，our picture of the people and the way of life of other countries is often a distorted (扭曲的) one.
Here is a great argument in favor of foreign travel and learning foreign languages.It is only by traveling in a country and getting to know its inhabitants and their language that one can find out what a country and its people are really like.And how different the knowledge one gains this way frequently turns out to be from the secondhand information gathered from other sources! How often we find that the foreigners whom we thought to be such different people from ourselves are not very different at all!
Differences between peoples do，of course，exist and，one hopes，will always continue to do so.The world will be a dull place indeed when all the different nationalities behave exactly alike，and some people might say that we are rapidly approaching this state of affairs.With the much greater rapidity (快速) and ease of travel，there might seem to be some truth in this at least as far as Europe is concerned.However this may be，at least the greater ease of travel today has revealed (展示) to more people than ever before that the Englishman or Frenchman or German is not：some different kind of animal from themselves.
5．Every country criticizes ways of life in other countries because they are________.
A．distorted B．normal
C．similar to each other D．different from its own
6．One who travels in a foreign country and learns its language will________.
A．find out why its people are different
B．argue in favor of this country and the language
C．know the country and its people better
D．like its inhabitants and their language
7．The knowledge one gains by traveling in a foreign country is often________.
A．from secondhand information
B．gathered from other sources rather than its inhabitants
C．gained from the arguments about the country
D．different from what one had before the travel
8．In this passage，the author wants to say________.
A．differences between peoples will gradually disappear because of the ease of travel
B．differences between peoples do exist even though different nationalities behave exactly alike
C．differences between peoples will continue to exist and the world will be a dull place
D．differences between peoples will not exist as one hopes

Ⅲ.单项填空
1．A available可利用的，常跟在修饰词的后面；其他三项“qualified合格的；standard标准的；impressive印象深刻的”作定语常放在修饰词之前，且与题意不符。
2．C 句意为：工会打算号召工人罢工来回应政府对出口产品的限制。in response to对……做出回应；in memory of纪念；in honour of对……表示敬意；in need of需要。
3．B when此处为并列连词，相当于at that time，可译为“这时(突然)……”。
4．D respect除表示“对某人的意见，行为，品德及才华等的尊重”外，还表示“遵守某事物”。appreciate强调理解并欣赏其价值；regard指“十分尊重，并含有爱戴之意”。honour指“公开表示尊重”。由题意可知，空气污染是由于一些工厂没有遵守保护环境的制度。
5．C 本题考查词组搭配。take notice of注意，留意。句意为：在中国，留守儿童的问题已经受到了人们的关注。
6．C 本题考查固定短语。take sth.for granted认为……理所当然。it用做形式宾语，后面thatclause为真正的宾语。
7．A 句意为：请留下你的电话号码，以便在紧急情况下我们能联系到你。so that为了，以便；on condition that条件是；for fear that唯恐；so long as只要。根据句意选A。
8．D 本题考查近义词辨析。第二句意为“我们队有较好的运动员，因此我料想我们队会赢”。此处是根据我们队的实力进行猜测。空格后面是从句，因此排除A，而B不符合句意，C选项的wish要加的宾语从句需用虚拟语气，故选项D正确。
9．B 句意为：在一个极冷的冬天的早晨，他已冻僵的尸体在一个偏僻的森林里被发现了。freezing极冷的；frozen冻僵的，结冰的。
10．A 此题考查了词语辨析。句意为：“Rogers退休之后，一段时间里对绘画产生了兴趣，但很快又失去了兴趣。”take up从事，对……产生兴趣；save up积攒；keep up持续，保持；draw up停下来。
11．D 本题考查形容词辨析。由nodded with a smile可看出，句意为：班主任对这个学生说的话感到十分满意，微笑着点了点头。tiring令人讨厌的，令人疲劳的；tired感到讨厌的，感到疲劳的；satisfying令人满意的；satisfied感到满意的。
12．D 本题考查动词辨析。句意为：那个店主愿意以人民币800元出售这个MP4，但是我哥哥只给出了600元。ask问，邀请；charge要价，控诉；sell卖；offer给予，出价。只有D项符合句意。
13．B 句意为：你的建议在理论上听起来很好，但在实践中能奏效吗？本题前后有对比意味，所以只有B项正确，符合句意与表达习惯。in practice在实践中；in theory在理论上；in advance提前；in general一般说来。
14．A apply sth.to...把……应用于……，为固定搭配。在本句中，applied to some other conditions为过去分词短语作宾语补足语。
15．B 本题考查动词辨析。demand要求；acquire获得；accomplish完成；achieve达到。句意为：只有那些有耐心把简单的事情做好的人才会获得容易应对难事的技能。
