17、往带有偶然的意味。如果表示某人发生了什么或某事物发生了什么情况，用happen to sb./sth.。(2)take place是按意图或计划实行的，没有偶然的意味，也表示战争、革命等事件的发生，还可以用来表示“举行”这一意思。2(1)agree with(2)agree to(3)agreed on(4)agree with(1)agree with同意某人的意见、想法；(气候、饮食等)适合。(2)agree on就取得一致意见；商定。(3)agree to同意某一建议、安排等。.1.Bhappen多指事件偶然、突然发生；.occur to sb.某人想起；take place指有计划、安
18、排的事件的发生。这三个单词或短语都不用于被动语态。2Cin ones基数词的复数形式，表示“在某人多大岁数”时。3B根据时间状语in the 1960s知空处应用一般过去时态；a series of表示“一系列的”；see在本句中意为“见证”。4B还原为正常语序为：he could express his idea with the words，故选B项。5Adestroy指彻底毁坏以致不能或很难修复；damage指价值、用途降低或外表损坏等，不一定全部破坏，损坏了还可以修复；hurt指人的伤害；injure指在意外事故中受伤。6Bget a car started开动/发动车，car与sta
19、rt之间为动宾关系，故用过去分词作宾补。Why not do.？为固定句型。try doing尝试着做某事。7C由时间状语last week知应用一般过去时态；“a series ofn.”作主语时，谓语动词用单数，故C项正确。8Adamage指对价值、外观、使用性或完好性的破坏，符合题意。9Band前后要求用平行结构。根据前面的making mistakes知应用correcting mistakes。10B句意为：在暴风中被吹倒的树已经被从道路上移走了。“树木”的后面缺少定语，因为blow down与trees之间是动宾关系，且是已经完成的动作，故用过去分词短语blown down。.1.
20、C事实细节题。由文章可知共有“computer，internet，cellphone and iPod”四种。2A细节理解题。由文章第一段后两句“.its a good idea to get children familiar with libraries.At this age，trips to the library are like family outings”可知选项A正确。3D细节理解题。由文章的第四至六段可以看出，手机可以被孩子们用来联系父母(can reach them)，互发短信(text each other)，考试作弊(cheating)，由此可以判断D项在文中未提及。4C细节理解题。由倒数第三段的“iPods are great for music，”可知MP3播放器iPods是欣赏音乐的极好的数码产品，由此可以判断C项正确。5C段意归纳题。最后一句用了一个rather than句式表明了作者的态度。也就是说，我们应该改变我们的教学方法，而不是试图改变整个一代学生的科技习惯。
