【題目】Are you facing a situation that looks impossible to fix?

In 1969,the pollution was terrible along the Cuyahoga River Cleveland,Ohio.It【1】(be) unimaginable that it could ever be cleaned up.The river was so polluted that it【2】(actual) caught fire and burned.Now,ears later,this river is one of【3】most outstanding（杰出的）examples of environmental cleanup.

But the river wasn’t changed in a few days【4】even a few months.It took years of work 【5】(reduce) the industrial pollution and clean the water.Finally,that hard work paid off and now the water in the river is【6】(clean) than ever.

Maybe you are facing an impossible situation.Maybe you leave a habit【7】is driving your family crazy. Possibly you drink too much or don’t know how to control your credit card use.When you face such an impossible situation,don’t you want a quick fix and something to change immediately?

While there are【8】(amaze) stories of instant transformation,for most of us the【9】(change) are gradual and require a lot of effort and work,like cleaning up a polluted river.Just be 【10】(patience).

【答案】

【1】was

【2】actually

【3】the

【4】or

【5】to reduce

【6】cleaner

【7】that/which

【8】amazing

【9】changes

【10】patient

【解析】試題分析：你正面臨著一個看起來不可能解決的情況嗎？

【1】was 根據(jù)本段第一句In 1969,the pollution was terrible可知本段敘述的是過去發(fā)生的事情。the Cuyahoga River Cleveland在過去被污染地如此地嚴重，過去沒有人能夠想象倒這條河被清理干凈。故填was。

【2】actually 本句中使用副詞actually做狀語修飾謂語動詞caught fire，actual是形容詞，不能在句中做狀語，通常只做定語或者表語修飾名詞。

【3】the 本句橫線后面的most是最高級的形式，所以使用the most outstanding的形式。

【4】or但是這條河流的改變不是幾天或者幾個月的事情。本句中的or“或者”表示選擇的意思。

【5】to reduce 考查固定句式：It takes sb some time to do sth做某事花了某人…時間；句中的不定式to reduce he industrial pollution and clean the water是句子真正的主語。前面的it是形式主語。

【6】cleaner句意：最后人們的努力得到了回報，現(xiàn)在這條河比以前更干凈了。橫線后面有than，說明橫線上應(yīng)該使用比較級的形式。

【7】that/which 本句是一個定語從句，先行詞是a habit，定語從句中使用關(guān)系動詞that/which指代先行詞在句做主語。

【8】amazing現(xiàn)在分詞轉(zhuǎn)換的形容詞常常修飾事物，過去分詞轉(zhuǎn)換的形容詞常常修飾人或者與人有關(guān)的事物。橫線后面是名詞story，說明應(yīng)該使用現(xiàn)在分詞轉(zhuǎn)換的形容詞。

【9】changes本句中謂語部分是系動詞are，說明主語應(yīng)該是一個復(fù)數(shù)形式的名詞，所以使用changes。

【10】patient 橫線前面有系動詞be，說明本句是一個祈使句be patient耐心一點。因為很多變化都是逐漸發(fā)生的，需要很多努力，我們要耐心一點。

【知識歸納】

談or的用法

1.在否定句中表示“和”。He can’t sing or dance.他不會唱歌、跳舞。

2.“否則”，表示轉(zhuǎn)折的意思。Hurry up，or you’ll miss the first bus.快點，否則你將錯過第一班公共汽車。

3.“或者”，表示選擇，可引導(dǎo)選擇疑問句。either---or---或者---，或者---。

【題目】So long as teachers fail to distinguish betweenteaching and learning, they will continue to undertake to do for what only children can do forthemselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that "reading cannot be taught directly andschools should stop trying to do the impossible."

Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for childrento devise the most efficient system for teachingthemselves to read. Teaching is also a publicactivity: It can be seen and observed.

Learning to read involves all that each individualdoes not make sense of the world of printedlanguage. Almost all of it is private, for learningis an occupation of the mind, and that process isnot open to public scrutiny. If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching will aid the child inknowledge. Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. "Make learning to readeasy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children."

When the roles of teacher and learner are seen forwhat they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them appropriately, then much of thepressure and feeling of failure for both iseliminated. Learning to read is made easier whenteachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem oflearning to read by reading.

【1】The problem with the reading course as mentionedin the first paragraph is that____.

A. it is one of the most difficult school courses

B. students spend endless hours in reading

C. reading tasks are assigned with little guidance

D. too much time is spent in teaching of reading

【2】The word "scrutiny"（Para.3） most probably means____.

A. inquiry B. observation

C. control D. suspect

【3】The main idea of the passage is that ____.

A. teachers should do as little as possible inhelping students learn to read

B. teachers should encourage students to read aswidely as possible

C. reading ability is something acquired rather thantaught

D. reading is more complicated than generallybelieved

【題目】As jewelry designers，my sister Jodie and I are always traveling for work．We need to go to a lot of shows，so we can’t pack lightly and usually bring about four suitcases filled with our work．

Most of our stuff is made from heavy materials and metals．So part of the routine for us when we fly is getting stopped by security．Our jewelry sets off the alarms，and we’ve become accustomed to arriving early to go through private screenings．Most of the time，it’s not troublesome.

However，on our recent trip to a Paris trade show，we were stopped at security and asked to empty our bags. One of the agents walked over to another agent and they started whispering to each other．Both gentlemen came back，and one of them then told us that it seemed that we were carrying a very dangerous object.

My sister and I just said，“Huh?”O(jiān)f course，we were a little concerned，thinking that maybe someone put something dangerous in one of our bags when we weren’t looking．

One of the agents then started to unpack our bags．I kept asking what he was 1ooking for and then the object in question finally appeared．It was our Cosima necklace．It's a piece of jewelry，with large，metal triangular spikes．

My sister and I 1ooked at each other and breathed a huge sigh of relief．We started laughing and explained to the two male agents that it was just a necklace from our collection．not a weapon of mass destruction．They thought we were lying，and one agent kept repeating that he believed it was a weapon.

I tried to explain that we were jewelry designers going to a trade show，and this was simply a piece from our collection．But the agents didn’t buy it．Then a few women guards came over to assist．One of the women guards was holding an earring up to her ear and another was trying on a ring．Apparently，they liked our stuff．

It was only at this point that the male guards gave up．And I think they also got tired of listening to a bunch of women talk about jewelry．They let us through．

【題目】Losing weight has become a major concern for so many people. People try different weight loss methods all the time, some of which will never work, while others provide just a temporary solution. It is important to note that there are some green ways to lose weight that are not only healthy and effective but also good for the environment. Let us look at some of these green ways to lose weight.

Growing your own vegetables is a good way to ensure that you are eating healthy foods. The process is even better if you can use organic manure(肥料). Planting your own vegetables is not only a good way to go green; it also provides you with plenty of physical exercise. Preparing a garden, including planting and taking care of the vegetables, is a great way to achieve a healthy weight.

If you usually eat meat on a daily basis, you should consider replacing that meat with more vegetables. If you have no idea what vegetarian diets are like, you can do some research on the Internet, and you can also get information from vegetarian magazines such as Vegetarian Times Magazine.

Cycling and walking are good workouts that will ensure that your body burns excess fat and calories, and therefore, you will be able to lose weight.
