5、 cover (price difference)Big name shows all summer long！Phone：2326220.http：/【语篇解读】本文是一篇应用文广告。全文介绍了要举办的五场音乐演出。提供的信息包含音乐会的主题、电话以及网址等。此类广告具有条目清晰的特点，因此所设问题也是针对某项内容。1Which number should you call if you want to see an opera?A2412742.B7231182.C3813300.D2326220.【解析】细节理解题。根据第一则广告中的The Opera honors Enjoy the

9、Music Theater提到了outdoor，而前四则广告中，这些举办音乐演出的场地都没有说是露天的，因此这是Riverbend Music Theater与众不同的地方。B项有一定的干扰性。从最后一则广告中的.all summer long！可知，B项中的all year round(一整年)表述错误，因此可以排除；C项表示给会员打折，这是第一则广告提及的内容；D项表示展现一些知名的音乐作品，在文中没有依据，不能说明Riverbend Music Theater与其他地方的不同。【答案】ABAmericans are famous for being friendly to people.
10、Their friendships, however, tend to be shorter and more casual(随意的) than friendships among people from other cultures.It is not uncommon for Americans to have only one close friend during their lifetime, and consider other “friends” to be just social acquaintances (泛泛之交)This attitude probably has so
11、mething to do with American mobility and the fact that Americans dislike to be dependent on other people.They tend to “compartmentalize” (划分) friendships, having “friends at work”“friends on the softball team”“family friends” and so forth.Because the United States is a highly active society, full of
12、 movement and change, people always seem to be on the go.In this highly charged atmosphere, Americans sometimes seem abrupt (无礼的) or impatient.They want to get to know you as quickly as possible and then move on to something else.Sometimes, they ask you questions that you may feel very personal.No i
13、nsult is intended; the questions usually grow out of their true interest or curiosity，and their impatience to get to the heart of the matter.And the same goes for you.If you dont understand certain American behavior or you want to know more about them, do not hesitate to ask them questions about the
14、mselves.Americans are usually eager to explain all about their country or anything “American” in which you may be interested.They explain so much in fact that you may become tired of listening.It doesnt matter because Americans tend to be uncomfortable with silence during a conversation.They would r
15、ather talk about the weather or the latest sports scores, for instance, than deal with silence.On the other hand，dont expect Americans to be knowledgeable about international geography or world affairs, unless those subjects directly involve the United States.Because the United States is geographica
16、lly distant from many other nations, some Americans tend not to be aware of what goes on in other parts of the world.5According to the passage, Americans attitude towards friendship is Athat it is unusual to have only one close friendBmore informal than that in other countriesCto regard all friends
17、as only social acquaintancesDto divide friends into several grades【解析】推理判断题。由第一段第二句可以推知美国人对待友谊较为随意，不太正式。【答案】B6The words “highly charged” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean “ ”Aextremely expensiveBmuch cheerfulChighly responsibleDfull of mobility and change【解析】词义猜测题。认真阅读并分析其所在句及前一句可知，该词组是对前面一句话内容的概括，由

20、题。由文章第一段第四句可知，美国人对待友谊的态度可能与美国人的流动性以及他们不喜欢依赖别人有关；由第二段首句可知，美国是一个充满活力、充满流动性和变化的社会。这一切都表明美国人的性格受社会影响。文章最后一句表明美国人的性格也受其地理位置的影响。故D项正确。【答案】DCMichael Jackson was on the road of performing when he was five years old.As is known to all, the road to fame and fortune is a long，hard one to travel.Michael remembe

32、ll over the worldBhow the Jacksons became successfulChow Mr.Jackson trained his childrenDhow Michael becomes so popular all over the world【解析】主旨大意题。从整篇文章来看，文章主要讲述的是Michael如何从一个孩子一步一步地走向成功的。故选D。A项侧重点是“成功的原因”；B项讲的是“the Jacksons是如何成功的”；C项侧重“Mr.Jackson是如何训练他的小孩的”，从文章的内容来看A、B、C三项均不正确。【答案】DDTo win an Osca

64、里的一些特色风景。41between考查连词。between.and.意为“在和之间”，此处指作为两个城市之间友谊的象征，符合语境。故填between。42was designed考查动词的时态和语态。根据语境可知，这座花园是由中国的景观设计师和园艺家设计修建的。主语“The garden”与design之间构成被动关系，且此处是陈述过去发生的事情，因此应用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was designed。43following考查非谓语动词。此处指景观设计师和园林师遵循道家的阴阳法则。根据语境可知，“architects and gardeners”与动词follow之间构成主动关系，故应
65、用follow的现在分词形式作状语。故填following。44importance考查词性转换。句意：阴阳和五行强调“气”的重要性，它是生命和能量的主要力量。根据词法知识可知，此处应用important的名词形式作动词“stress”的宾语，且用定冠词“the”修饰。故填importance。45plays考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意：阴阳起着如此关键的作用，以至于一个要素的缺失都会扰乱花园的和谐与平衡。根据语境可知，该句陈述的是客观事实，因此用一般现在时；主语“YinYang”是抽象名词，因此谓语动词要用第三人称单数形式。故填plays。46combined考查非谓语动词。句意：当五个要
66、素完美结合时，就形成了一个流动的培养环境。此处when引导的是时间状语从句，主句主语“the five elements”与动词combine之间构成被动关系，故用被动语态，其中主语和be动词可省略。故填combined。47or考查连词。句意：与西式风格的花园不同，这个花园里没有种植花圃和修剪整齐的草坪。在否定句中表示“和”用连词or。故填or。48aspects考查名词复数。根据下文中的“are recreated”可知，主语是复数。故填aspects。49that/which考查定语从句。根据语境可知，这些风景以瀑布、大山、湖泊和森林为特色。分析句子结构可知，空格处引导定语从句，修饰先行
67、词“landscapes”，在从句中作主语，故用that或which引导。故填that/which。50typical考查词性转换。根据空格前的“a”和空格后的“private garden”可知，此处应用形容词作定语，typical意为“典型的”。故填typical。.短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号()，并在其下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用斜线()划掉。修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面
