题型:不详难度:来源:
Many people from overseas believe that it rains a lot in London, but in fact its rainfall is similar to that in other European cities. Rainfall is evenly (平均地) spread during the year, so  even in summer a visitor is likely to experience some     weather. In spring and autumn there are likely to be some heavy showers, often followed by sunshine. In winter the rain is usually lighter but may    for longer.
In the summer, if there are a few days of particularly hot weather, these are often
   by a thunderstorm. It is because the weather can change very quickly that many British people carry a(an)umbrella with them throughout the year, even when it appears to be a
   day.
The UK’s weather is strongly influenced by the sea which surrounds Britain and Ireland. The sea warms up and       more slowly than land, keeping winters relatively warm but also making the summers cooler.
You may be wise to bring      warm to wear in the evenings even during the summer months. Very hot days (over 30 C) are not common, so air conditioning is not as widespread as in warmer countries.
During the winter people will often wear several different layers (层) of clothing. This allows them to keep warm when walking outside, but to     comfortable when inside a heated building.
小题1:A. dry               B. wet                 C. hot  
小题2:A. last               B. break                  C. have    
小题3:A. received           B. accepted            C. followed

解析

试题分析:短文大意:来自海外的许多人相信,在伦敦经常下雨,但事实上它的降雨量类似于其他欧洲城市。降雨均匀分布在一年内,所以即使在夏天,游客可能会经历一些潮湿的天气。在春季和秋季,可能会有一些大雨,经常伴随着阳光。冬天的雨通常较小但可能持续时间更长。英国的天气是由于围绕着英国和爱尔兰海的强烈影响。海洋升温和凉下来都比陆地更慢,让冬天相对温暖而且使夏天变凉。
小题1:考查形容词及语境理解。句意:所以即使在夏天,游客可能会经历一些潮湿的天气。 dry干燥的;wet 潮湿的;hot 热的。根据前半句Rainfall is evenly (平均地) spread during the year 可知该选B。
小题2:考查动词及语境理解。句意:冬天的雨通常较小但可能持续时间更长。 last 持续;break损坏;have有。根据连词but及短语for longer.可知该选A 。

小题4:考查形容词及语境理解。句意:很多英国人一年四季都携带一把伞,即使它似乎是一个好天气。
fine 好的;bad坏的;rainy 下雨的。根据It is because the weather can change very quickly that many British people carry a(an)umbrella with them throughout the year 及连词even when 可推知该选A 。   
小题5:考查动词短语及语境理解。句意:海洋升温和凉下来都比陆地更慢。takes off 脱掉,起飞;rises up 上升;cools down`凉下来。根据常识可知该选C 。
小题6:考查不定代词及语境理解。句意:甚至在夏天的几个月里你可以带一些保暖的衣服以便在晚上穿是聪明的。something 某事;anything 任何事;nothing 没有事。根据句意可知该选A 。  
小题7:考查动词及语境理解。句意:这使他们在外面散步的时候保持温暖,但在加热的建筑里保持舒服。realize意识到;remind vt.使想起,使记起; 提醒; remain留下; 保持。根据句意可知该选C。

Some students are talking about who’s a better singer, Andy Lau or Jacky Cheung?

Jim
Some people say Jacky is the best Chinese singer. I don’t think so! Andy is the best. I went to his concert last year. It was so wonderful. I almost cried! OK, I did cry, but that’s because Andy is so handsome!

Li Tao
I don’t agree with Jim. Andy sounds like every other singer. His voice is nothing special. On the other hand, Jacky’s voice is different from others, and his songs are so romantic (浪漫的).

Linda
I think they’re about the same. But Andy is a better actor. I’ve seen almost all of his movies. Remember the one where he was a pilot and his plane crashed (坠毁) near a farm? I love that movie!

Zhang Fang
I also think Jacky is a better singer. I prefer his Cantonese (粤语) songs. Maybe they sound better because Cantonese is his first language.

Liu Ying
I agree. Jacky’s Cantonese songs are better than his Mandarin (普通话) songs, though I still like all his songs!

The best tool you can use in communicating with parents is to keep talking to them, no matter what. Strong relationship (关系) depend heavily on keeping the lines of communication open. Try to talk about everyday things with your parents. That doesn’t mean telling them everything. In fact, turn the focus onto them for a change: Ask about their day — just as they do with you.

David, 16, is a senior school student. One evening, after he mentioned at dinner that he was thinking of trying out for the school play, his mom kept asking about it for weeks. And later, it also felt like she was getting too involved (参与) in something he wanted to do himself. Instead of telling his mom how he felt, David decided it would be easier not to tell her anything he was doing in the future.
A good way to get a parent to ask fewer questions is to offer some information on your own. This puts the communication in your hands. The more you keep a parent told about everyday things, the less they need to ask. Communicating everyday things has another advantage: It can show your parents that you’re responsible enough to make good decisions.
It won’t always be easy. You may get frustrated (受挫) at times. But try not to give up. It may take a bit for a parent who is used to making all the decisions to adjust (适合) to the independent-thinking person their child is becoming. Parents also don’t want to see their sons and daughters suffer (受苦) if the choices they make on their own aren’t the “right” ones. To many parents, it seems easier to step in and take control simply because they believe their years of experience put them in a better position to make decisions. If you feel that’s the case (情况) with your parents, talk to them about it.
小题1:The underlined part “turn the focus onto them” probably means ____.
A.talk the things about them
B.have a good time with them
C.show your thanks to them
D.do something good for them
小题2:In the third paragraph, you are advised to ____.
A.let your parents know everything about your daily life
B.tell your parents more information before you are asked
C.keep your parents asking you more questions of your things
D.be responsible to help your parents make good decisions
小题3:What causes parents to take control of children?
A.They find their children wrong.
B.They do well in almost everything.
C.They think they can make better decisions.
D.They are used to making choices for children.
小题4:The main idea of the passage is how to ____.
A.make decisions on your own
B.learn from your parents
