3、fortunately Ms.Brown had undergone a back operation，and the fall caused more damage than it otherwise would have.So she and her husband sued(提起诉讼)AMC argued that the entire point of the “wet floor”sign above was to warn of danger，and therefore，courts should encourage the use by not allowing Browns c
4、ase to proceed(继续进行)AMC referred to a case about a December，1998 incident，where a “wet floor”sign，not in use，fell to the floor causing another tripandfall.In that case，Georgias Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the store，but didnt go so far as to say that“wet floor”signs couldnt give rise to legal
5、liability(责任)in tripandfall accidents.In the Brown case，the Supreme Court therefore rejected AMCs argument that the former case applied.But the Browns argued something surprising that the“wet floor”sign was，itself，dangerous，because “using this type of sign in areas passed by lots of customers create
6、s an unreasonable risk of foreseeable harm to the public in the form of tripping hazards(危险)”Thats rightthe safety sign，used in the way it was designed，was itself dangerous.The court thankfully didnt accept that argument，at least not entirely.But it did conclude that Browns case could continue to a
7、jury(陪审团)“a merchants selection and use of equipment designed to warn customers of one danger that has the potential to expose them to a different one”【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了布朗夫人在美国一家AMC影院看完电影离开时，被“小心地滑”的警示牌绊倒受伤后，向法院提起诉讼的原因以及法院的审判结果。1According to the text，Ms.Brown _Aslipped on the wet floorBtripped over a war

9、nocked over意为“打翻；撞倒”，不符合文意。2AMC mentioned the 1998 case in order to _Aaccept its legal liability for Ms.Browns lossBprove Ms.Brown had some physical problemsCstress that it had no legal liability for the accidentDprove other customers were responsible for the accidentC考查推理判断。根据文章第二段第一句“AMC argued th
10、at.encourage the use by not allowing Browns case to proceed(继续前行)”可知，AMC影院认为布朗夫人的控拆不成立，法院应该鼓励使用这样的警示牌，接着第二句AMC影院举出1998年的案例来支持自己的观点。由此可推测，AMC影院提到这一案例是为了强调自己不应该承担本次事故的责任。故选C项。3What can we learn about the Browns case from the last paragraph?AIt would be judged by jury.BIt would not be allowed to procee
11、d.CThe court would rule in favor of AMC.DThe court accepted all the arguments of the Browns.A考查细节理解。根据文章最后一段中的“But it did conclude that Browns case could continue to a jury.”可知，法院提出请陪审团来审理此案。故选A项。4The underlined word“one”in the last paragraph refers to “_”AdangerBcustomerCbusiness ownerDequipment in
12、 public placesA考查词义猜测。根据文章最后一段最后一句可知，一个商人选择和使用某一种设备来警示顾客某种危险，而这种设备本身就可能将顾客置于另一种危险中。由此可猜测，one指代上文中的danger。故选A项。.阅读七选五(2017年济南模拟)While you are travelling abroad，cultural mistakes are more serious than linguistic mistakes，which can lead to serious misunderstanding and even ill feeling between individua

18、avoid them.FIf not，keep the shoes on.GYoull likely be met with silence.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，讲述了一些出国旅游时应当注意的文化上的错误。1E该空是一个总结句，用来引出下面要提到的话题，起承上启下的作用，故选E项。2A结合小标题“Touching Someone”及下文提到的不同国家对于触碰有不同的习俗可知，不同的地方对个人空间的理解各不相同。故选A项。3G上文介绍在中国、日本和一些非洲国家，吃饭时不要闲谈。由此可知，吃饭时要保持沉默，只有G项与此相关。故选G项。4F该空与前一句是相反的情况，上文提到“如果你在门口看
19、到一排鞋子，就松开你的鞋带”，接下来就应当描写与之相反的情况，故选F项。5C从空后的“And dont.like queue jumping”可知，此空与该句表并列关系，也应是“不要”，故选C项。 【导学号：65670244】.语法填空(2017年大连双基测试)The origin of tea is lost among history and tales.What can be _1_(rough)confirmed is that tea originated in the southwest of China.According to ancient stories，the first

22、aojing states that“Tea tastes bitter.Drinking it，one can think quicker，sleep _10_(little)，move more swiftly，and see more clearly.”This then was the earliest book to record the medicinal effects of tea.【语篇解读】本文介绍了“茶”的起源。1roughly考查副词。副词修饰动词。故填roughly“粗略地”。2to discover考查非谓语动词。不定式短语作后置定语。故填to discover。3
23、medicine考查词性转换。形容词herbal“草本的”修饰名词。故填medicine。herbal medicine意为“草药”。4is said考查被动语态。根据语境可知，据说神农曾一天之内尝了72种不同的有毒植物。It is said that意为“据说”。5dropping考查非谓语动词。根据语境可知，此时，他注意到几片芳香的叶子正从他旁边的树上掉落下来。空处强调“正在掉落”，故用drop的现在分词形式。6of考查介词。短语out of curiosity意为“出于好奇”。7them考查代词。根据语境可分析出，空处指代and前的leaves，指咀嚼“它们”。故填them。8energ
24、etic考查词性转换。感官动词felt后应用形容词，故填energetic。9and考查连词。该空前后表示顺承关系，故用and。10less考查比较级。此处与文中的“think quicker”和“move more swiftly，and see more clearly”为并列结构，故填less。.短文改错(2017年四川绵阳第二次诊断)I prefer my English classes to be taught only in English.As we are all know，a good learning environment is vital unless we want

28、ore，I like my English classes to be taught in English.第一处：删除are考查谓语。as we all know 为固定搭配，意为“众所周知”。故将are删除。第二处：unlessif考查连词。unlessif.not，根据上下文可知，该句句意是：众所周知，如果我们想要学好英语，一个好的学习环境是很重要的。故将unless改为if。第三处：teachingtaught考查非谓语动词。classes和teach是逻辑上的被动关系，所以要用过去分词作后置定语。故将teaching改为taught。第四处：good前加a考查冠词。a/an.envi
29、ronment为固定搭配，意为“一种的环境”。故在good 前加a。第五处：problemproblems考查名词。problem是可数名词，前面有some修饰要用复数。故将problem改为problems。第六处：hadnthavent考查时态。整篇文章的主体时态是一般现在时，且无过去时间的参照点，所以此处应用现在完成时。故将hadnt改为havent。第七处：thatit考查代词。find后面跟了复合结构，而此处应是形式宾语，真正的宾语是to follow the teacher，只有代词it可以作形式宾语。故将that改为it。第八处：onin考查介词。lose interest in为固定搭配，意为“失去对的兴趣”。故将on改为in。第九处：requirerequires考查主谓一致。动词不定式作主语时，谓语动词要用单数。故将require改为requires。第十处：completecompletely考查副词。修饰介词短语时要用副词。故将complete改为completely。
