9.The Black Country is about 10miles from Birmingham.It's made up of four districts:Dudley,Walsall,Sandwell,and Wolvehampton.
Historically,it was famous for industry,which explains (16)whythe area is called the Black Country.It got its name during the industrial revolution,(17)when factory pollution turned the local skies black and coal dust from the mines made the soil the same color.Dudley,which is (18)probably(probable) the heart of the Black Country,has a history (19)dating ( date) back over 1,000years,and its famous castle has been there (20)sinceabout the 8th century.
People from Black Country are very friendly. (21)Buttheir local dialect,which comes from the old"Middle English",can be very difficult to understand.I still remember taking (22)a visiting friend from Canada to a local Black Country pub for lunch. (23)Beforethe waitress could even finish describing the menu,my friend looked at me with his eyebrows (24)raised(raise).When I asked what he wanted to order,he just shook his head in disbelief and asked if the waitress whom I (25)had been speaking/was speaking/had spoken/spoke(speak) to just now was naturally speaking English.

分析 本文主要介紹黑區(qū)的組成部分,名稱的由來(lái)以及難以聽(tīng)懂的語(yǔ)言.

解答 16.why  考查副詞.此處表示該地區(qū)被稱之為"黑區(qū)"這個(gè)名詞的由來(lái),表原因;explain后面為一個(gè)賓語(yǔ)從句,所以由why來(lái)引導(dǎo);故答案為why.
17.when   考查關(guān)系副詞.先行詞theindustrialrevolution在定語(yǔ)從句中充當(dāng)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ),故用關(guān)系副詞引導(dǎo)非限制性定語(yǔ)從句.故答案為when
18.probably  考查句子的構(gòu)成成分.此處應(yīng)用副詞形式probably.故答案為probably
19.dating  考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞.動(dòng)詞date和邏輯主語(yǔ)ahistory之間為主謂關(guān)系,所以用dating作定語(yǔ).故答案為dating
20.since  考查介詞.根據(jù)and后的句意"自從約8世紀(jì)以來(lái),著名的城堡就一直在那里了",以及主句中的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞是現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)可知,應(yīng)填since.
21.But  考查連詞.第三段第一句話提到人們很友好,緊接著提到他們來(lái)自古英語(yǔ)的方言很難懂,由此可知,這兩句話之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,故用but.
22.a(chǎn)   考查冠詞.remember doing sth.意為"記得曾經(jīng)做過(guò)的事".句意:我仍然記得曾經(jīng)來(lái)訪的一個(gè)朋友….此處強(qiáng)調(diào)一個(gè);故答案為a.
23.Before    考查連詞.引導(dǎo)一個(gè)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句,表示在服務(wù)員報(bào)完菜單之前的狀況,所以用連詞before引導(dǎo).故答案為Before.  
24.raised   考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞.with的賓語(yǔ)hiseyebrows和raise之間是動(dòng)賓關(guān)系,由此可知使用raised.
25.had been speaking/was speaking/had spoken/spoke   考查動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài).本句的時(shí)態(tài)較靈活,根據(jù)本句主從句的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的動(dòng)作關(guān)系或時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)可知可以使用過(guò)去時(shí)的各種相應(yīng)時(shí)態(tài).故答案為had been speaking/was speaking/had spoken/spoke.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 做閱讀填空題時(shí),要在理解文章整體的基礎(chǔ)上,補(bǔ)全所缺的部分.針對(duì)這個(gè)特點(diǎn),解答時(shí)要注意語(yǔ)境和上下文的聯(lián)系,同時(shí)還要注意文章的寫作方法和結(jié)構(gòu).

17.Culture shock is so named because of the effect it has on people when they enter a new culture.Experts have been interested in these effects and have agreed on five basic stages of culture shock.These stages are general and should only be used as a reference.Not every individual will go through each stage,and one stage may last longer than another for different individuals.
The hardest thing for most travelers to deal with is the emotional"roller coaster"they seem to be riding.One moment they feel very positive toward the new culture,and the next moment very negative.It seems common that international visitors and immigrants vacillate(猶豫不定)between loving and hating a new country.Feelings of separation and alienation can be intensified if they do not have a sense of fitting in or belonging.
Fatigue is another problem people face when entering a new culture.There can be a sense of greater need for sleep.This is due not only to physical tiredness,but also to mental fatigue.This mental fatigue comes from straining to comprehend the language,and coping with new situation.
The impact of culture shock can vary from person to person.There can be significant differences because some people may be better prepared to enter a new culture.Four factors which play into these are personality,language ability,length of stay,and the emotional support received.
It is logical to think that when people are deprived of heir familiar surroundings they will feel disoriented.One solution some have found is to bring a few small reminders of home.Pictures,wall hangings,favorite utensils,and keepsake are all good candidates to make things feel more familiar.Another helpful activity is to establish little routines that become familiar over time.Even better is fitting things that were part of the regular routine back in the home country into the routine established in the new culture.This will make people feel more at home.
(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)

81.According to the 1st paragraph,what have experts been interested in?Culture shock's effects on people.
82.What are the two problems people face when entering a new culture?Emotional"roller coaster"and fatigue.
83.Coping with new situations may result inmental fatigue.
84.The author thinks the more effective way to solve"cultural shock"isfitting some past regular routine into the new culture.

4.
[1]E-mail may be the most important,unique method for communicating and developing relationships since the telephone.First of all,     .Anyone who can use a word processor can also write an e-mail message without difficulty.Secondly,it saves time and money.It costs nothing more than your time.No paper expense,no postage,no envelope expense.People find it familiar and safe because it is similar in many aspects to writing letters-but minus the annoyances of addressing envelopes,licking stamps and trips to the mail box.
[2]Of all the methods for developing relationships on the Internet,e-mail is the most common-and perhaps the most powerful.Although friendship may indeed begin in chat rooms,instant messages,blogs or other environments,these relationships almost always expand into e-mail as a way to deepen the communication.It is a more private,more reliable,less messy way to talk.Even when other online tools improve greatly by becoming more effectively visual and auditory(聽(tīng)覺(jué)的)-as in video tele-conferencing-e-mail will not disappear.Many people will prefer it because it is a non-visual and non-auditory form of communication.After all,we don't see people rushing out to buy video equipment to add it to their telephone,even though that technology has been available for some time.
[3]E-mail is not just an electronic mail sent via the Internet.It creates a psychological space in which pairs of people-or groups of people-communicate with each other.It creates a situation and boundary in which human relationships can unfold.

14.[1]Every language has its own special words and expressions.And a story can be told  about each of them.Hot is a simple,easily understood word.So are most of the expressions  made with the word hot.But not always,as we shall see.
[2]The words hot potato,for example,give you no idea at all to the meaning of the expres. sion,hot potato.The potato is popular and many Americans like baked potatoes.Imagine trying  to carry a hot potato in your hand.It would be difficult,even painful,to do SO.Some publicly argued  problems are highly emotional.The problems must be treated carefully,or they will be difficult and  painful if an elected official has to deal with them.One such hot potato is    taxes.Calling for higher  taxes can mean defeat for a politician.And yet,if taxes are not raised,some very popular governmentprog    rams could be cut.And that also Can make a politician very unpopular.The questions must be dealt with carefully,the same way you would handle any other hot potato.   
[3]Another expression is not SO hot.If you ask someone how she feels,she may answer"not so hot."What she means is she does not feel well.Not so hot also is a way of saying you do not really like something.You may tell a friend that the new play you saw last night is not so hot.That means   
[4]A hot shot is a person,often a young person,who thinks he can do anything.He is verysure he can succeed.But often he fails.The expression was born in the military forces.A hotshot was a soldier who fired without aiming carefully.  
[5]Hot is a word that is often used to talk about anger.A person who becomes angry easily is called a hothead.An angry person'S neck often becomes red.We say he is hot under the collar.

1.Could your cellphone give you cancer?Whether it could or not,some people are worrying about the possibility that phones,powerlines and wi-fi (路由器) could be responsible for a range of illnesses,from rashes to brain tumours.
For example,Camilla Rees,48,a former investment banker in the US,moved out of her apartment in San Francisco because of the radiation coming from next door.Rees told the Los Angeles Times that when her neighbors moved in and installed a wi-fi router she lost her ability to think clearly."I would wake up dizzy in the morning.I'd fall to the floor.I had to leave to escape that nightmare,"she said.Since then,she's been on a campaign against low-level electromagnetic fields,or EMFs(低頻電磁場(chǎng)).
And she's not alone.Millions of people say they suffer from headaches,depression,nausea and rashes when they're too close to cellphones or other sources of EMFs.
Although the World Health Organization has officially declared that EMFs seem to pose little threat,governments are still concerned.In fact,last April,the European Parliament called for countries to take steps to reduce exposure to EMFs.The city of San Francisco and the state of Maine are currently considering requiring cancer-warning labels on cellphones.
If these fears are reasonable,then perhaps we should all be worried about the amount of time we spend talking on our phones or plugging into wi-fi hotpots.
Some say there is evidence to support the growing anxieties.David Carpenter,a professor of environmental health sciences at the University at Albany,in New York,thinks there's a greater than 95% chance that power lines can cause childhood leukemia.Also there's a greater than 90% chance that cellphones can cause brain tumours.
But others believe these concerns are unreasonable paranoia (猜疑).Dr Martha Linet,the head of radiation epidemiology at the US National Cancer Institute,has looked at the same research as Carpenter but has reached a different conclusion."I don't support warning labels for cellphones,"said Linet."We don't have the evidence that there's much danger."
Studies so far suggest a weak connection between EMFs and illness-so weak that it might not exist at all.A multinational investigation of cellphones and brain cancer,in 13countries outside the US,has been underway for several years.It's funded in part by the European Union,in part by a cellphone industry group.
According to Robert Park,a professor of physics at the University of Maryland in the US,the magnetic waves aren't nearly powerful enough to break apart DNA,which is how known threats,such as UV rays and X-rays,cause cancer.
Perhaps it's just psychological.Some experts find that the electro-sensitivity syndrome seems to be similar to chemical sensitivity syndrome,which is a condition that's considered to be psychological.
Whether EMFs are harmful or not,a break in the countryside,without the cellphone,would probably be good for all of us.
