12、Dcalmed.阅读理解Ireland has had a very difficult history. The problems started in the 16th century when English rulers tried to conquer(征服) Ireland. For hundreds of years, the Irish people fought against the English. Finally, in 1921, the British government was forced to give independence to the south o
13、f Ireland. The result is that today there are two “Irelands”. Northern Ireland, in the north, is part of the United Kingdom. The republic of Ireland, in the south, is an independent country. In the 1840s ，the main crop, potatoes, was affected by disease and about 750，000 people died of hunger. This,
14、 and a shortage of work, forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA, the UK, Australia and Canada. As a result of these problems, the population of Ireland fell from 8.2 million in 1841 to 6.6 million in 1851. For many years, the majority of Irish people earned their living as farmers.
15、Today, many people still work on the land but more and more people are moving to the cities to work in factories and offices.

25、是“一对一的训练(辅导)”。private“私人的，个人的”，比good更能体现这一层关系。6A这里指没有得到更多的上场时间。7C从该空后面的内容可推知他们的训练只是跑步。8D这一段讲的是训练枯燥无味，所以作者总是祈祷上帝下雨的目的自然是中止训练。9A由上文的“Of course”可知作者在这里承认跑步训练是必要的，也与下一句的转折呼应。10D本句用的是sothat句型，表示结果，跑得太多的结果是上气不接下气。11B非谓语动词作定语。be intended for专门为而设计。12C根据下文可知，表时间关系“在以前”用before。13A这里考查的是tooto句型。担心太饱而不能跑步，这是作者
26、不能多吃的原因。14Bshare有“分担”的意思，这里指“分内的事”。15Cgive up doing sth放弃做某事；keep up 保持；pick up 拾起，学到；end up告终，结束。因为各种压力作者最终不得不离开这支球队，C项最合适。16A有潜力的队员却完全停止了踢足球，这是多么可惜的事。sad令人悲伤的，令人难过的；shameful可耻的；silly傻的；serious严重的。17D这里需要填的是从句中的谓语，从句的主语they指的是退役的队员，她们不是压力的带来者，排除C；正因为她们不愿意接受也受不了这种压力才选择离开，排除A。18Breconsider重新考虑；redisc
27、over重新发现；reform改革；replace代替。这一段讲的是作者如何重新发现对足球的喜爱，所以选B。19Cby 和around都有“在旁边”的意思，要选都要选，故排除；play at后接游戏名，是“做游戏”的意思，故排除。20Dcalm down镇定下来，平静下来。意思与教练的话相符。.【文章大意】 这篇文章主要介绍了爱尔兰的历史和近代以来的发展情况。1C推理判断题。根据第一段的“Ireland has had a very difficult history.”及下文的描述可知，本文主要描述了爱尔兰人是如何反抗英国人的，最后产生了两个“爱尔兰”。故选C。2B细节理解题。根据最后一段的
28、“Since independence, Ireland has revived(复兴) its own culture”及本段内容可知，本段主要描述了爱尔兰的文化。故选B。3D细节理解题。根据第二段的“In the 1840s, the main crop, potatoes, was affected by disease and about 750，000 people died of hunger.”可知，食物短缺导致了人口减少。故选D。4B主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了爱尔兰的历史和近代以来的发展情况。故选B。. 【文章大意】 俗话说“塞翁失马，焉知非福”，在本文中作者讲述
29、了一位女士因为放护照和钱的包被抢而幸运躲避了一场灾难的事情。通过这件事作者告诉我们当遇到不顺利的事情时，不要悲观失望，不要浪费时间去懊悔，那是于事无补的。1hurriedly考查副词。修饰动词用副词形式，因此填hurriedly。2in考查介词。be absorbed in全神贯注于。3where考查关系副词。分析句子结构可知空后是定语从句，从句是主谓宾结构，缺少状语，而先行词是地点，故用关系副词where。4shocking考查形容词。此处修饰名词，应该用形容词。shocking“令人震惊的”，修饰物，说明事物的特征，故填shocking。5If考查连词。根据从句谓语had not lost和主句谓语could have lost可知，此处是虚拟语气，故填 if，首字母要大写。6more考查比较级。far用来修饰形容词和副词比较级，故填more。7frustrations考查名词。these后面跟复数名词，故填frustrations。8will get考查动词的时态。根据句意可知此处表示将会出现的结果，应该用一般将来时，故填will get。9another考查限定词。从上文内容可知此处指在一方面失败了，可能在另一方面成功，故填another。10on考查介词。waste time/money on sth 在某方面浪费时间或钱。
