10、of the English language. It would include every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of the word and quotations(引文)showing how it was used. This was a huge task, so Murray had to find volunteers from Britain, the United States, and the British colonies

11、to search every newspaper, magazine, and book ever written in English. Hundreds of volunteers responded, including William Chester Minor. Dr. Minor was an American surgeon who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England. He gave his address as “Broadmoor, Crowthorne, Berkshire，” 50 mil

12、es from Oxford. Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray. Over the next 17 years, he became one of the staffs most valued contributors. But he was also a mystery. In spite of many invitations, he would always decline to visit Oxford. So in 1897, Murray finally dec

Murray was at the port to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend. Minor died in 1920, seven years before the firs

20、 B In a time of low academic achievement by children in the United States，many Americans are turning to Japan，a country of high academic achievement and economic success，for possible answers.However，the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find.In most Japa

21、nese preschools，surprisingly little stress is put on academic instruction.In one investigation(調查)，300 Japanese and 210 American preschool teachers，child development specialists，and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education.Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents(答問卷者)

22、 listed “to give children a good start academically” as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools.On the contrary，over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top three choices.To prepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond，Japanese school

23、s do not teach reading，writing，and mathematics，but rather skills such as persistence(毅力)，concentration，and the ability to function as a member of a group.The vast majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents. In the recent comparison of Japanese and American presc

24、hool education，91 percent of Japanese respondents chose providing children with a group experience as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools.Sixtytwo percent of the more individually oriented(強調個性發(fā)展的) Americans listed group experience as one of their top three choices.A stre

25、ss on the importance of the group seen in Japanese early childhood education continues into primary school education. Like in America，there is diversity(多樣性) in Japanese early childhood education.Some Japanese kindergartens have clear aims，such as early musical training or potential development.In

31、cation. Ⅲ.書面表達 假如你是李華，你校學生會于2013年2月15日下午舉行“校園書市(a campus book fair)”活動。請你寫封email給你的美國筆友Peter，告訴他此次活動的有關情況。 1．活動目的：(1)給同學們提供一個交換圖書的機會； (2)更好地利用讀過的書。 2．具體內容：(1)把你不想保留的書拿到書市上出售； (2)購買你喜歡的書；(3)交換圖書。 3．談談你的感想、收獲和體會。 注意：1.文章開頭和結尾已給出，不計入總詞數(shù)。 2．詞數(shù)：120左右。 Hello Peter！How are you going these days?

32、________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Looking forward to hearing from you! Love， Li Hua 課時作業(yè)(四十) Ⅰ.1.D　句意：——老

33、師，我在?！埪牶?。我一直在考慮讓你父母來學校，但我想先聽聽你的意見。have been considering是現(xiàn)在完成進行時，表示從過去開始的一個動作一直持續(xù)到現(xiàn)在，并且還在進行。 2．B　考查非謂語動詞。句意：這個小男孩被最新的電動玩具所吸引，站在櫥窗前一動也不動。句子的主語the little boy與attract構成邏輯上的被動關系，故用過去分詞。to be done表示動作尚未發(fā)生。 3．D　考查副詞辨析。此處somehow意為“不知怎的”。句意：他已打算妥協(xié)，可是不知怎的在最后的時刻他又改變了主意。 4．D　not to mention更不必說，不必提及；in addi

34、tion to除……之外；on account of由于，因為，為了……的緣故；regardless of不顧，不管。根據(jù)句意可知D項正確。 5．A　考查動詞詞義辨析。句意：這些天政府發(fā)布了幾項將會加快制造業(yè)發(fā)展的經(jīng)濟政策。accelerate意為“加速，提前”； accomplish意為“完成，實現(xiàn)”； accumulate意為“積累，增加”； approve意為“批準，贊成”。根據(jù)句意可知A項正確。 6．C　assuming that…“假定……”為固定句型。類似表達有：providing/supposing (that)… 7．B　考查虛擬語氣。if only“要是……就好了”，后

35、用虛擬語氣。答句句意：要是我沒對他說那些太嚴厲的話就好了。表示和過去事實相反，故用過去完成時。 8．C　考查短語辨析。regardless of 意為“不考慮，不顧及”。 not to mention意為“更別提，更別說”；apart from意為“除了”，所以A、B項意思不對；D項搭配不當。 9．A　考查非謂語。此處only to do/be done表示意料之外的結果；現(xiàn)在分詞作結果狀語則表示自然的結果。這里George和tell之間是被動關系，因此用to be told。句意：戰(zhàn)爭后喬治回到家，結果被告知妻子已經(jīng)離開了他。 10．B　考查非謂語。句意：展望未來，我們希望我們的教學體

36、系得以改變。look ahead 意為“展望未來，為將來設想”；look around 意為“向四處看”；watch out 意為“注意，當心”；D項無此搭配。 11．C　考查動詞短語辨析。句意：——我厭煩了無休止的考試?！褡髌饋?，David。堅持到高考結束。be fed up with意為“厭倦，受夠了，飽受”。catch up with趕上；come up with提出(想法、辦法等)；put up with忍受，容忍。 12．C　考查不定式的時態(tài)。句意：據(jù)說湯姆最近在設計一種新的電腦程序，但我不知道他什么時候完工。后半句暗示“設計”這一動作還在進行，故用不定式的現(xiàn)在完成進行式。

37、 13．D　句意：臨近的居民都拍手稱贊政府關于關閉這個印染工廠的決定。delete刪除；identify識別；interrupt打斷；applaud贊賞。 14．A　考查交際用語。從答語中的“Im going up there，too.”可知，答話人認為兩個人都去Appleby是一件極為巧合的事，故用What a coincidence! 15．A　考查獨立主格結構。主句主語跟后面狀語部分主語不一致，前后沒有連詞，說明應該用獨立主格結構。date back to“追溯到……”，一般不用被動，它與邏輯主語some (trees)應該是主動關系，因此用現(xiàn)在分詞。 Ⅱ.A 這是一篇記敘文。文

38、章敘述了第一本牛津詞典的編寫過程，以及Minor對詞典的編寫工作所作出的巨大貢獻。 16．D　細節(jié)理解題。從最后一段的“Minor died in 1920, seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was completed.”看出A選項是不正確的；從第二段的“Murray had to find volunteers from Britain, the United States, and the British colonies to search every newspaper, ma

39、gazine, and book ever written in English. Hundreds of volunteers responded, including William Chester Minor. Dr. Minor was an American surgeon who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England.”看出牛津詞典是集體智慧的結晶；由第一段最后一句中“It would include every English word possible”可知，C項不正確。故選D。 17．C　細節(jié)理解

40、題。從第三段的“Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray”看出，Minor提供了大量詞匯和引文。故選C。 18．A　細節(jié)理解題。從第四段的“Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself. When he arrived, he found Minor locked in a booklined cell at the Broadmoor Asylum for the Criminally Insane.”看出，是由于Min

41、or患精神病被關進醫(yī)院里，所以沒有辦法去牛津。故選A。 19．B　細節(jié)理解題。從第二段Minor自愿加入編詞典這個活動可知，他對此很感興趣，與Murray有著共同的興趣，再從文章倒數(shù)第三段的“Murray and Minor became friends, sharing their love of words. Minor continued contributing to the dictionary, sending in more than 10，000 submissions in 20 years.”可找到答案。故選B。 20．D　推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章中Minor在患精神病住院

42、期間還堅持詞典的編寫工作看出他的不尋常；從文章倒數(shù)第三段的“Minor continued contributing to the dictionary, sending in more than 10，000 submissions in 20 years.”看出他的學者風范。故選D。 21．C　主旨大意題。文章一開始主要介紹由來自英國、美國和英國殖民地的志愿者參加牛津詞典的編寫工作，后半部分主要寫編者Minor對詞典的編寫工作所作出的巨大貢獻。故選C。 B 這是一篇講述日本學前教育的材料，文章指出日本學前教育的側重點和對集體主義的重視，以及教育內容的豐富多樣性。 22．C　事實細節(jié)

43、題。根據(jù)第一段“…the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find. In most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little stress is put on academic instruction.”可知，美國人的看法應該是日本的學前教育非常重視專業(yè)技術知識的傳授，因此C項是正確答案。 23．D　事實細節(jié)題。由第一段倒數(shù)第二句“To prepare children for successful careers in fi

44、rst grade and beyond，Japanese schools do not teach reading，writing，and mathematics，but rather skills such as persistence，concentration，and the ability to function as a member of a group.”可知，在日本的學前教育中，老師并不教孩子讀寫和數(shù)學，而是重視培養(yǎng)孩子的素質，教育孩子們學會持之以恒、集中精力，并能融入集體之中。所以D項正確。 24．A　推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段最后一句“…introduced free p

45、lay as a way out for the heavy intellectualizing in some Japanese kindergartens.”可推測free play是用來減輕學生學習壓力的，所以A項正確。 25．D　推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段第四句“…it will increase the childrens chances of eventually being admitted to toprated schools and universities.”可知，孩子們參加universitybased項目可以有更好的機會得到高等教育。故D項正確。 Ⅲ.One pos

46、sible version： Hello Peter！How are you going these days? In order to provide us students with an opportunity to exchange books and make better use of our used books, our Students Union held a campus book fair on the afternoon of February 15，2013. At the book fair, students could sell unwanted boo

47、ks, buy books they needed or simply trade books with each other. Like other fairs of this kind, prices were typically very low. Happily, I not only got rid of several books but also bought a few books I really wanted. As far as Im concerned, I like this activity, which is beneficial to us students.

48、 On the one hand, I felt my social skills had been well practiced and improved. On the other hand, this activity also gave us an excellent opportunity to feel a bit of the real world. I wish more events like this book fair would be held in our school. Looking forward to hearing from you! Love， Li Hua 8
