Ⅱ.單項填空 1．The shy girl ________ dance before so many strangers, ________ she? A．daren't; does　　　　　　　 B．daren't; dare C．doesn't dare; dare D．dare not; dares 解析：選B　考查dare的用法。句意：這個害羞的女孩在諸多陌生人面前不敢跳舞，是嗎？dance為動詞原形，可考慮dare為情態(tài)動詞，或在doesn't dare to do中省略to。若為后者，第二個空白處應為助動詞does，因此排除C選B。 2．Mary is the youngest of the four children, but she has no________ and is treated just as the others. A．benefits B．advantages C．privileges D．guarantees 解析：選C　考查名詞詞義辨析。句意：瑪麗是這四個孩子中最小的，但是她并沒有特權，與其他孩子一樣受到同樣的待遇。privilege“特別待遇，特權”，符合句意。benefit“益處”；advantage“優(yōu)勢”；guarantee“保證”。 3．We demanded that we________ of any changes in the plan that they put forward.

There were many popular rock and roll singers during that time, but only a few of those singers are still popular. Most people today are familiar with the singer named Elvis Presley. Elvis Presley sang different types of music. He sang country and blues music. He also sang music that you might hear in church, but it was rock and roll music that made Elvis very popular. In fact, the songs of Elvis became so famous that people gave the singer a special name. Everyone started to call him“the King of Rock and Roll”. Today many people still call him“the king” for short. Other famous singers have also been given special names. Not everyone always agrees with their names, but many newspapers and magazines use the names. For example, in the 1980's pop music became famous, and Michael Jackson was the most popular singer. People thought that the pop music was really just one kind of rock and roll music, so they did not want to call Michael Jackson “King”. Elvis was still the king. As a result, Michael Jackson was given the name“the Prince of Pop”. However, Michael Jackson was not the only famous pop singer in the 1980's. Madonna was also very popular. She was given the name“the Queen of Pop”. More than one woman has been called“the Princess of Pop”. Two of the most famous“Pop Princesses” are Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. It is interesting that no woman was ever named“the queen of rock and roll”．There was a Queen of Disco and a Queen of Country music, but never a Queen of Rock. Maybe in the years to come, a woman who is singing now will get that special name. 語篇解讀：本文介紹了一些著名歌手的不同稱號。 1．This passage is mainly about ________． A．how to make country music B．special names for famous singers C．a king who enjoyed playing music D．a queen who was fond of singing songs 解析：選B　主旨大意題。本文由人們喜歡Elvis Presley的演唱并冠之“搖滾樂之王”的稱號說起，說到其他一些著名歌手也有不同的稱號，還對未來女歌手的稱號做了期待?？梢娙膰@一些著名歌手的稱號展開，故B項為最佳選項。 2．How many famous singers are mentioned in this passage?

Shen, also known as lan, was then an exchange student at Kwantlen Polytechnic University enjoying the afternoon on a beach near Ucluelet, a small town on the edge of the Pacific Ocean. With him was a friend, Myles Hagar, and Hagar's two grandchildren. Silently and suddenly a cougar appeared out of nowhere. By the time the two adults spotted the cat, believed to be young but still weighing 30 to 35 kilograms, it already had the head of 18-month old Julien in its mouth. Instinctively, the young man gestured as if he were ready for a fight, and tried to scare the beast off with the bag in his hands. On hearing the noise Shen made, the animal dropped the kid and Hagar grabbed his grandson from the cougar's jaws. Shen and Hagar gradually chased the animal back into the woods. “We also moved slowly to our vehicle, as we waved our fists and bags, pretending we wanted to fight with it，”Shen said.“The vehicle wasn't far away but it felt like it took us a century to travel the short journey.” “Any hesitation, at any moment, even a second delay, would have resulted in certain death for Julien. The cougar was just about to break his neck and carry him away to be eaten in the forest.”Hagar said. Julien has since made a full recovery. Parks Canada spokeswoman Arlene Armstrong told the National Post newspaper of Canada in an interview in August.“The two men acted properly by maintaining eye contact with the big cat and aggressively scaring it off.” 1．How did lan get recognition on Vancouver Island？(No more than 12 words) ________________________________________________________________________ 2.
