Ⅰ.閱讀理解
閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C、D)中,選出最佳選項。
A
While we are on the subject of crime,our listener question this week comes from Mohamad Firouzi in Iran.He wants to know about the history of Alcatraz Island and the prison that once operated there.
Alcatraz Island is in the harbor of San Francisco,California.It is best known for being a federal prison,which was also called “The Rock.” It was once the most famous prison in America.
Alcatraz was a military prison from the late eighteen fifties until the nineteen thirties.Then it became a federal prison for the country’s worst criminals.These included murderers,bank robbers and kidnappers.One of the main reasons federal officials chose Alcatraz Island to detain these prisoners was because they thought it would be impossible for prisoners to escape.
Cold,deep and dangerous waters surround the island.Also,the distance between the island and San Francisco is too far for most humans to swim.No prisoner was ever officially reported to have successfully escaped.
However,in nineteen sixty-two,three men broke out of the prison.Each man worked very hard at night for many months to cut through the stone wall of his cell.They made false heads out of paper,paint and hair.On the night of June eleventh,the men placed the heads in their beds to make it look as if they were sleeping.Then,the prisoners escaped through the holes in their cells to get to the water.The men were never seen or heard from again.It is believed that they drowned while trying to swim to San Francisco.
The prison closed in nineteen sixty-three because of the high cost of keeping prisoners there and the need for major repairs.The last prisoners were moved to other jails.
In nineteen seventy-two,the United States Congress passed a bill creating the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.Alcatraz Island and the old prison are part of this area.
Each year,more than one million people visit Alcatraz to see the prisoners’ cells and listen to stories about the jail’s history.But unlike the prisoners who once lived there,visitors can escape from the prison whenever they want and return back across the harbor to San Francisco.

Peterhof
Peterhof is as beautiful as it is fun.You’ll be charged for admission (門票),but go to Peterhof when the fountains (噴泉) are working — during the day in the summer.They are shut off in winter as well as in the evenings.
The Church of Our Savior on Spilled Blood

閱讀下面材料,在空白處填入適當的內容(1個單詞)或括號內單詞的正確形式。
Teacher:Good morning,everybody.We're glad to have Mr.Henry Stone with us,1.
famous writer in this country.He's going to share with us his writing experiences.Now,Henry,please tell us 2.
you find so many interesting things for your stories.

(be) to many countries,such as Britain,Italy,and Sweden.So I spend much time at the airports.While 4.
(wait)for my flights,I watch people passing by and start my 5.
(imagine).For example,the other day I saw a couple,6.
were buying magazines at the airport.Every few seconds,the woman looked around.I wondered if someone was following them.Perhaps they were running away and this reminded me 7.
a story in the newspaper that day:a man 8.
(steal) one million pounds a week before and disappeared with his wife.There was a picture of them in the paper.The couple really looked like the thieves.Maybe I 9.
call the police.Just then,I saw 10.
say goodbye to each other.And the woman walked away.Well,sometimes I make mistakes,but I find things like that very useful for my writing.
答案:
1.a。考查冠詞。本部分屬于同位語,來說明Henry Stone先生的身份,意為“一位著名的作家”,表泛指。故填a。
2.how。考查從屬連詞。根據語境,以及下文Henry的回答可知,此處指方式。故填how。
3.have been。考查動詞的時態。根據語境可知,此處表示“曾去過”的意思,應用現在完成時。故填been。
4.waiting。考查省略。根據句子結構可知,本句屬于主從句的省略:當主從句主語一致并且從句中有be動詞時,常將從句中的主語和be動詞省略,由此可知,此句補充完整應為“While I am waiting for my flights”。故填waiting。
5.imagination。考查名詞。根據空格前的形容詞性物主代詞“my”可知,此處需用名詞。故填imagination。
6.who。考查定語從句。根據句子結構可知,本句話屬于非限制性定語從句,先行詞是a couple,并且在從句中作主語。故填who。
7.of/about。考查介詞。“remind sb.of(about)sth.”是固定短語,意為“讓某人想起……”。故填of/about。
8.stole/had stolen。考查動詞時態。根據時間狀語“a week before”可知,此處用一般過去時“stole”,表示報紙上報道的一件過去發生的事;再根據and后面的disappeared也可判斷出動作發生的前后順序,故had stolen亦可。
9.should。考查情態動詞。此處指責任和義務,意為“應該”。故填should。
10.them。考查代詞。根據所描述故事場景以及下文“And the woman walked away.”可知,他看見這兩個人互相道別了。故填them。
Ⅲ.短文改錯

修改:在錯的詞下劃一橫線,并在該詞下面寫出修改后的詞。
注意:1.每處錯誤及其修改均僅限一詞;
2.只允許修改10處,多者(從第11處起)不計分。
I prefer my English classes to be taught in English only.What we all know,a good learning environment is of greatly importance if we want to study English well.Classes teaching in English provide students for a better environment.When English is an only language in class,students will have more opportunity to practise listening and speaking.However,there were problems with this method.Sometimes we may find difficult to follow the teacher and some slow learners may even give up learn English.In spite of these difficulties,but I believe practice makes perfect.With enough practice,we can overcome the difficulties and benefit from English classes in the long run.
