【由山东省2014模拟改编】

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

“Confidence” is probably one of the most noticeable traits（品质）in the Americans．They show confidence in the way they talk，the way they smile，the way they dress and the way they walk．Living and competing with all these confidence American students，I find it extremely important to be confident as an international student and instructor．As a student，being confident means you should never hesitate to raise your hand whenever a question or a point comes to your mind．Don’t mind if it sounds simple or silly．Otherwise you will never get a chance to speak in class at all．What’s worse，the professors may think you are not prepared for the discussion or you do not have your own opinion on the issue—this is the last comment any graduate would like to receive．

Being confidence for me as a foreign instructor means calmly asking the student to repeat what he or she has said if I did not get it．Pretending to understand what you actually did not may just bring yourself embarrassment or even disgrace．But the time I most need to be confident is when my students come to my office and bargain about the grades I have given for their Speeches．（The course I’m teaching here is Public Speaking）．Modesty is a trait highly valued in China，but it won’t be of much help here if you want to survive and succeed in a good American graduate program．

1．To compete with American students it’s very important to ．

A．be quite confident

B．be polite and friendly

D．understand what they think about

C．have more discussions with them

2．A professor will have the worst opinion of a student who ．

A．gives a silly or simple answer

B．tries to seize any chance to speak in class C．shows no interest in the course

3．The author is most likely to feel embarrassed if ．

A．he asks a student to repeat what he has said B．the students bargain with him C．he pretends to know what he doesn’t D．he has to give a speech

4．We learn from the second paragraph that ．

A．we should also remain modest in America

B．modesty doesn’t help you much in America C．Americans also like modest people

阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中, 选出最佳选项。 【2013界江苏省盐城中一模】A

Over the Spring Festival holiday there was a big effort to get people to curb their habit of ordering too much food in restaurants because a lot of that food ended up being wasted. Holiday eaters were urged to “clean their plates” and were asked to take leftover food home in “doggy bags.”

The impetus behind the campaign was the startling government statistic that over 200 billion yuan is spent every year on food that ends up in the garbage bin. And in the midst of all this waste, statistics show that 128 million people are living below the poverty line and going hungry.

The “clean your plate” campaign is part of a worldwide effort to stop precious food from being wasted. The United Nations estimates that $1trillion (yes, that’s a very big number) worth of food is wasted each year. Most of that is lost during food production and transportation, but a significant percentage is attributed to waste by consumers. The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) has launched a campaign called “Think. Eat. Save.” to make people aware of the problem.

Chinese actress Fan Bingbing is an ambassador for UNEP and she encouraged people to upload pictures of their “clean plates” to show their support for the program.

Thousands of people responded and demonstrated that they had a clear conscience to go along with their full stomachs.

Xi Jinping, the Chinese president, is also urging people to be less wasteful and he told Party members to cut back on extravagant holiday banquets and to be more careful when spending the people’s money.

For some, though, Xi Jinping’s and Fan Bingbing’s admonitions don’t go far enough. Yuan Longping, an agricultural scientist, caused a stir by saying that wasting food should be treated as a crime. (Jail time for leftover chicken feet!?)

If not a crime, wasting food is certainly a sin and it goes against what Xi Jinping calls, “the Chinese tradition of being diligent and thrifty.” Having a “clean plate” is just a traditional and responsible thing to do.

56. Which statement is NOT TRUE according to the passage? A. Over 200 billion yuan is wasted every year on food around China.

B. It’s quite common for Chinese people to order more food than they need in restaurants.

C. It’s universally acknowledged that wasting food is a crime. D. Fan did something to promote people’s awareness of saving food. 57. The underlined word “admonition” is closest in meaning to “ ”. A. demonstration

B. indication C. warning D. criticism

58. What’ the best title for the passage?

A. Food is important. B. Have you cleaned your plate? C. Jail time for leftover chicken feet!? D. Wasting food is a crime. 【参考答案】56、CCB

A practical English Grammar is intended for intermediate(中级的) and

post-intermediate students. We hope that more advanced learners and teachers will

also find it useful.

The book is a comprehensive survey of structures and forms, written in clear

modern English and illustrated with numerous examples. Areas of particular difficulty have been given special attention. Differences between conversational usage and

strict grammatical forms are shown but the emphasis is on conversational forms.

In the fourth edition the main changes are as follows.

3. Some material has been rearranged to make comparisons easier. For example, parts of chapters on can, may, must etc. are now grouped by functions; verbs of liking and preference have a chapter to themselves; suggestions and invitations have joined the chapter on commands, requests and advice.

4. The contents list now summaries every edition heading, and there is a new index containing many more entries references.

In this edition the sign “～” is frequently used to show a change of speaker in

examples of dialogue. Note also that although the sign “＝”sometimes connects two words or expressions with the same meaning, it is often used more freely, e.g. to indicate a transformation from active to passive or direct to indirect speech.

We wish to thank all at Oxford University Press who have assisted in the

preparation of the fourth edition. We would also like to thank Professor Egawa of Nihon University, Japan, Professor Rene Dirven of Duisburg University, West Germany and other colleagues for their friendly and helpful suggestions.

Ⅰ.单项填空

1．I ______through that bitter period without your generous help.

A．couldn’t have gone C．wouldn’t go

B．didn’t go D．hadn’t gone

解析 考查虚拟语气。句意：如果没有你的慷慨相助的话，我不可能熬过那段艰苦的日子。without your generous help相当于含蓄条件句If it hadn’t been your generous help，此处表示与过去事实相反，所以主句部分采用couldn’t have done结构，表示“本不可能”，故选择A项。 答案 A

A．takes part in C．attends

B．joins in D．joins
