16、e age of five he won the Shenyang Piano Competition and played his first public recital. Four years later, he got the chance to study at the Central Music Conservatory in Beijing. What made him sad was that his piano teacher in Beijing didnt like him. “You have no talent. You will never be a pianist
17、, ”said the teacher. Lang Lang was badly hurt. He decided that he didnt want to be a pianist any more. For the next two weeks he didnt touch the piano. Wisely, his father didnt push, but waited. Luckily, the day came when his teacher asked him to play some holiday songs. He didnt want to, but as he
18、placed his fingers on the piano keys, he realized that he could show others that he had talent after all. From that point on, everything turned around. Lang Langs father even quit his job and followed Lang Lang everywhere he went, not only as a father, but also as a manager, tutor and friend. He sta
19、rted winning competitions. In the 1994 International Young Pianists Competition, Lang Lang impressed the audience with his splendid piano skills. In 1997 Lang Lang went to Philadelphia, US, where he spent two years practising. During his study there he made rapid progress and became a top profession
20、al pianist. After his successful performance at Chicagos Ravinia Festival, gigs(特邀演出)in Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall he started pouring in. Lang Lang finally worked to reach the place where fortune spotted(发现)him and let him shine. 1. Lang Lang studied at the Central Music Conservatory in Beijin

23、 a-e-b-c-dB. a-c-b-e-dC. e-a-b-c-dD. a-e-b-d-c4. The passage wants to _ . A. tell us Lang Langs father is greatB. let us know Lang Lang is successfulC. tell us Lang Lang has won many competitionsD. encourage us to study hard to realize our dreams just like Lang LangB While reading a book in English,
24、 every few lines of text, you run across a word or two that you dont know. You look up every new word in the dictionary. Bad move. All that does slow you down. Even electric or CD-ROM dictionaries can get in the way of your reading progress. A dictionary is like a road map. It can help you if you ge
25、t lost and point you in the right direction. But if you stop to look at the “map” each time you take a step, youll get nowhere fast. On your English learning “journey”, a dictionary can be a helpful “travel companion”if it is not overused. To help you start thinking in English, use an English-to-Eng
26、lish dictionary. Otherwise, you will always depend on your native language and end up translating in your head. A good dictionary can help you do more than just find the meaning of a word. It can help you verify (test and check) spelling, check word forms and grammar usage, find example sentence and
27、 learn pronunciation. Some dictionaries even provide exercises to teach you how to use their resources. Take time to get to know your dictionary. Learn the pronunciation symbols. Understand what the abbreviations (缩写字) mean. Try to master the important grammar rules. Look for charts, diagrams and li
28、sts that might be useful in the future. You will discover how helpful it can be to make friends with your dictionary. And as they say, “A friend in need is a friend indeed. ”5. Why do we need a good English-to-English dictionary? A. Because it is a good friend. B. Because it can help us to find the
29、right direction if we get lost. C. Without it well always depend on our native language and end up translating in our heads. D. Because it can help us to start thinking in English and in Chinese. 6. The underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refers to _ . A. pronunciation,symbols and grammar r
30、ulesB. abbreviations and usage for grammar rulesC. the meaning of a word, spelling and grammar usageD. charts, diagrams and lists7. According to the passage, which statement can lead you to believe? A. The more you use a dictionary, the better you can understand the article. B. The more you use a di
31、ctionary, the faster you may read. C. The more you use the resources in a dictionary, the more you can benefit from it. D. The better a dictionary is, the more expensive it is.

44、与二十一世纪报报社的英语论坛讨论。 要求:1. 先叙述图画信息,然后再发表个人 看法。 2. 标题已经给出。参考词汇:危机 crisis _答案与解析I. 1.C 考查冠词的用法。moral sense是非感。第一个空是泛指孩子不会生来就具有是非感,因此用不定冠词a;第二空考查的是固定短语tell the difference between. . . and. . . ,因此正确答案是C项。 2.C 句意: 这套房子已经有好几个月没有人住了。这里occupy意为“占据,居住”,符合语境。employ和hire指“雇人”;rent表示“租房子”,形式不对,它的过去分词应为rented,故选C。
45、 3.B 句意:“我的自行车刹车不灵了。”“是,它们已经没有办法修了,需要更换。”从they cant be mended知道“只能更换”,所以选replaced。 4.C 考查it的用法。句意:难道你不认为只承诺不行动毫无用处吗?此句中,that引导宾语从句, 从句中it为形式主语,真正的主语是promising without doing。 5.B 考查动词词组。句意:你说话的这种方式很容易引起误解。lead to“导致”,符合题意。result from“由而导致”;pick up“捡起, 获得,学会”;pick out“挑选(出)”的意思, 不合题意。 6.A 考查动词词组。contr
46、ibute to. . .“是的成因;贡献”;have an effect on. . .“对有影响”。 7.A 分析句子成分后可知前句是由wonder引导的宾语从句, 在宾语从句中缺少原因状语,故用why引导;下句中含有一个主语从句,在主语从句中缺少宾语,故用what引导,所以A项正确。句意:“我想知道这为什么发生在他身上, 这是不公平的”“我理解,但是他在会议上所说的使在场的每个人都惊呆了”。 8.C 句意:你作文里有几处错误,但是总体上说,写得不错。as a whole“作为整体,从总体上来说”,符合题意。first of all “首先”;above all“重要的是”;on the
47、other hand “另一方面”。 9.B 考查固定短语。句意:很多人认为汉字比英语单词难学多了。Chinese characters是“汉字”的意思。 10.D 句意:我不知道马路上的这个“X”标志代表什么,你能告诉我吗?stand for“代表,象征”,符合题意。stand out“出色,突出”;refer to“代替,指代”;stick to“坚持”。 11.D 句意:肯定有人能管住这些淘气的孩子。take control of. . . “控制,取得对的控制”, 固定搭配,符合题意。 12.D 句意:测试由大量的多项选择题组成。 consist of= be made up of“由
48、组成”,故D项正确。 13.D 句意:我只是想知道什么使他如此的兴奋。此句中含有what引导的宾语从句,在宾语从句中又有个强调句型it is that. . . , 强调主语。 14.D 句意:在各种各样的树上都可看到树叶, 但是它们大小不同,形状各异。考查动词与介词的搭配。differ常用搭配:differ from 与不同;differ in 在某方面不同,故D项符合题意。 15.B 考查交际用语。句意:“你能帮忙到厨房里拿一下我的玻璃杯吗?”“乐意效劳。”At your service“听候吩咐,乐意效劳”,符合语境。Its a pleasure“不客气”;It doesnt matte
49、r“没关系”是用来回答I am sorry的。Thats my pleasure“不用谢”是用来回答Thank you的。故选B。 II. 【语篇解读】这是一则趣味故事,讲述作者到一家饭店去吃饭,脱下外套递给服务员,吃完后发现有人穿错了外套,并且口袋里有一枚金戒指。在警察的帮助下,找到了丢戒指的人,原来那人在火车上时,他的戒指被一个贼偷走了。1.C 根据常识,作者进去一小时后要离开可以推断,他到这里是为了吃饭。 2.A 根据语境,选择took表示“拿走”。 3.D 词组be ready to do sth. 表示“准备做某事”。 4.C 那位服务员把外套拿到作者面前,因此用brought。 5
50、.B 副词suddenly说明作者感到意外。 6.C 根据下一句话youve brought someone elses coat 可以推断,作者这时仔细看了看那件外套。 7.D someone elses coat表示“其他人的外套”。 8.A 根据逻辑判断前后为语意转折。 9.C suppose表示“猜测,猜想”。 10.B 这样的事有时候会发生。 11.D 词组go over to sp.表示“向某地走过去”。 12.A 根据后面回答Yes可知前面是一般疑问句式,因此选A项。 13.A 根据下文the man arrived 可以推断,警察打电话给那个人。 14.B 这时当然要感谢作者了
51、。 15.C 语意转折,句意:然而我是在火车上丢的戒指。 16.A 作者把刚才发生的事(story)告诉他。 17.D 那么这只戒指是如何在那个外套里呢? 18.D 意思是“那时有人坐在或站在你的旁边吗?” 19.B 但是这里的这位朋友不是小偷。 20.C No在这里表示“是的,他不是一个小偷”。III. 1.C 细节理解题。1982年出生,9岁时得到此机会,故选C项。 2.D 细节理解题。由第二及第三段可知,父亲为他的成功付出了很多。 3.A 细节理解题。从文中描述的顺序,很容易 选出应为A项。 4.D 主旨大意题。文章主要告诉我们要像郎朗一样努力学习来实现梦想。 5.C 推理判断题。由第二
52、段的第二、三句可知,要想用英语思考,就用英英词典;否则,你会总是依赖你的母语并最终在脑海里翻译它。 6.D 词义指代题。由本句结构可看出that引导定语从句,指代其前面的先行词charts, diagrams and lists。 7.C 推理判断题。从第一段可以推知A、B两项错误;D项中的the more expensive it is文中没有提到;C项从最后一段可推出。 8.A 主旨大意题。文章首段开门见山点出主题:台风给台湾带来重大损失;B项过于笼统;其余选项皆为文中细节。 9.C 细节理解题。由第一段可知A项不对,应为half a century;B项中Pingtung应改为Hsiao
53、lin;由第二段台风在横扫台湾后向中国大陆沿海地区移动可知D项不对。 10.B 词义猜测题。根据该词所在上文语境可知:台风带来的洪水和泥石流给受灾居民造成了种种困难。A项最具干扰性,由本段内容可知此处指的是台风过后的情况, 不具有危险性。IV.1. unknown2. recorded3. contribute 4. symbol5. vocabulary6. promised 7. servant8. adopted9. style 10. standardsV.1. resulted in2. differs from3. lifted up 4. even though5. had an

One possible version: Never give upWhat the above cartoon implies is that we should have more confidence rather than give up when facing this critical financial crisis. As we know, there are all kinds of difficulties in ou
55、r daily life and nobody will always proceed smoothly without a hitch. The present crisis indeed has brought about great hardship to our life, but we should never give up. On one hand, the difficulties could make us more careful and wiser, which helps us cherish the hard-earned achievements. On the o
56、ther hand, success may come after failure or difficulties soon on condition that we take effective measures to deal with them. As a result, before the great difficulties, what we should do is that we should have great confidence in ourselves because confidence is more valuable than gold. Lets do remember: we can overcome any difficulties, working with one heart. Never say die readily.
