　　Ⅲ.阅读理解

　　BELIEVE it or not，

　　the color of the tie Barack Obama wore to the inauguration

　　(就职典礼)

　　is a hotly debated topic.

　　The level of public interest in Obama's tie might seem strange but many people believe his choice will symbolize the type of government he plans to run，

　　as the color of a politician's tie is thought to convey ideas of power，

　　trustworthiness and more.

　　Policies of ties

　　It may be the least practical item of male dress，

　　but it is arguably the most expressive. In the UK and many other countries around the world，

　　conservative

　　(保守的 )

　　politicians may wear a blue tie and their liberal opponents a red one. In America，

　　the colors go the other way round. The Republicans have in recent years become associated with the color red，

　　and the Democrats with blue. But in spite of this，

　　Bush wears blue ties more often than any other color.

　　What they mean

　　According to Sharon Haver，

　　editor of focusonstyle. com，

　　in America the feelings associated with colors overrule their political significance. “A guy who wants to be regarded as strong and in charge would wear red，

　　” Haver says. Unsurprisingly，

　　the business tycoon Donald Trump is known for wearing red ties. But what about blue？ According to Haver，

　　“Blue is a softer color…Look at the sky.

　　It's peaceful and calm and trustworthy.”

　　Selecting the right tie for the right occasion

　　●Perfect job

　　interview tie

　　Perhaps no other tie­wearing occasion is as important as the job interview.

　　Gilchrist，

　　the fashion expert，

　　advises playing it safe and choosing a conservative one.

　　Best choices are solids，

　　stripes or small patterns. An excellent color is burgundy(深红色) or another serious color. Avoid pink or yellow，

　　which suggests that the wearer lacks gravity.

　　Pattern ties，

　　Gilchrist suggests，

　　should be limited to a maximum of three colors. A striped tie is a safe choice as this is acceptable to everyone. Last，

　　Gilchrist recommends saving the expensive “hip” tie for those applying for glamorous creative jobs.

　　●Date­night tie

　　When picking out the right tie for taking a girl out on a date，

　　spend more time considering color than pattern. According to studies，

　　women are attracted to men wearing the color blue，

　　because blue gives the image of a “stable，

　　faithful，

　　constant，

　　always there” person. So what is the worst color to wear on a date？ “ Flattened caterpillar (毛虫)

　　yellow­green，

　　” according to Gilchrist， “ it will repel both sexes equally.”

　　31．Why are people interested in the tie that Obama wore to the inauguration？

　　A．Because they think the tie he wore will enable them to know about his personalities and policies.

　　B．Because they want to advise him how to select an appropriate tie for such a big occasion.

　　C．Because they think the tie will tell if he is trustworthy as they expected when he assumes office.

　　D．Because they believe the tie is an essential part of dressing to a mature politician like Obama.

　　32．What can we infer about Bush，

　　the former president，

　　from the passage？

　　A．He was probably liberal in his policies when he was in power.

　　B．He was a Republican when he served as president.

　　C．He wore only blue ties and had no ties of alternative colors.

　　D．He wanted to make himself unique by the tie that he wore.

　　33．The example of “the business tycoon Donald Trump” is given to ________.

　　A．prove that color reflects people's feelings to a certain degree

　　B．show that Donald is so wealthy that he can afford expensive ties

　　C．tell that Donald is physically strong and can handle everything

　　D．explain that red is a popular color，

　　especially with businessmen

　　34．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text？

　　A．Ties can be ignored by politicians since they are the least practical item of male dress.

　　B．Do choose ties carefully before dating，

　　because it is the most important occasion.

　　C．Why to avoid pink or yellow ties in job interviews is that they don't match the atmosphere. D．The more colorful the tie is，

　　the more likely you'll get the job you want.

　　Ⅳ.短文改错

　　此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。对标有题号的每一行作出判断：如无错误，在该行下边横线上画一个勾(√)；如有错误(每行只有一个错误)，则按下列情况改正：

　　此行多一个词：把多余的词用斜线()划掉，在该行下边横线上写出该词，并也用斜线划掉。

　　此行缺一个词：在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧)，在该行下边横线上写出该加的词。

　　此行错一个词：在错的词下划一横线，在该行下边横线上写出改正后的词。

　　注意：原行没有错的不要改。

　　For the final speaker here today， I would like to 35.________

　　share you some of the conclusions of our research. We

　　36.________

　　wanted to know that the Internet would become the most 37.________

　　popular source of news for people. They have found that 38.________

　　although the Internet has become increasing popular， 39.________

　　the number of people which get news from the Internet 40.________

　　compares to the radio or television is still small. While

　　the

　　41．________

　　Internet is a popular tool， it is still not as easily accessible

　　42.________

　　as newspapers， television and the radio is， and due to

　　43.________

　　the amount of uncontrolled information on the Internet，

　　people do not always trust the news they find it online.

　　44.________

　　课时作业(四十)

　　.1.A　本题考查动词辨析。quit smoking＝stop smoking，意为“戒烟”。

　　2．D　本题考查名词辨析和常用搭配。keep pace with跟上。句意为：为了跟上新发展的脚步，科学家们不得不努力工作。keep in touch with与……保持联系，了解(情况)；keep company(with)与……来往；keep track of通晓事态，了解动向。

　　3．C　本题考查非谓语动词。此处非谓语动词作方式状语，逻辑主语是the match，非谓语动词与逻辑主语之间是被动关系，且其动作已经完成，故用过去分词，选C。

　　4．A　本题考查动词搭配。B项(spend)和D项(provide)不符合动词用法。spend (time/money) on sth./(in) doing sth.，provide sb. with sth./provide sth. for sb.，因此可以先排除。C项(offer主动提供)意思不符。devote (time/effort/one's life, etc. ) to sth./sb.或者devote oneself to sth./sb.，意为“把……奉献给，把……专用于”。句意为：这位母亲虽然工作很忙，但还是把很多时间花在子女身上。

　　5．C　本题考查交际用语。该对话是医生与病人之间的对话，当医生听到病人的病情介绍之后，在诊断前医生通常会安慰一下病人，使病人不至于过分紧张。所以应用“take it easy(别紧张)”等来对病人表示安慰。

　　6．A　本题考查定语从句。分析句子结构可以知道，两空均为定语从句结构，第一个定语从句中缺少谓语动词see的宾语，故第一空应用关系代词 that，which 或省略不填；第二个的定语从句中缺表语，故只能用that 连接，不可用which，且不可省略，the one that相当于what。

　　7．C　本题考查动词短语辨析。take up开始学，从事； get on 上车，相处，进展； pick up拾起，学会，收听到，搭车；turn on打开。根据句子意思，应选择pick up，表示搭乘(出租车)。

　　8．A　本题考查名词辨析。四个词都可以表示“方法”，但是只有approach可以和to搭配。其余三项接of，way还可以加不定式。

　　9．C　本题考查非谓语动词。remain 在there be 结构中用作后置定语。由于remain是不及物动词，故应用现在分词remaining，相当于定语从句that remains；因为问题是被“解决”的，故应用不定式的被动结构来表示。

　　10．C　根据上下文语境及讲话人语气可知，选项动作表示经过努力才完成。在这种语气的肯定句和疑问句中，常用“be able to”表达，在否定句中也可用“can”。

　　.本文是一篇议论文。主要论述as long as you do your best“只要你尽力”这句话的作用。作者突出强调其好的方面，并且要继续传给自己的孩子，以此说明这句话非同一般。

　　11. D　根据good advice和后面句子的关系，可知后面是说明原因的，所以用because。

　　12. C　和trust搭配，并且表示人对事物的认知，再根据最后一段中decisions可以看出此处是指人的判断能力。

　　13. A　根据下文，上学时达不到一定的标准会有压力。句意为：这有助于减轻我的压力。

　　14. B　由don't have to 和整个句子可知用live up to表示“达到”。

　　15. C　根据goals that are unattainable可知用accomplish表示“实现，完成” 。

　　16. A　前后逻辑意义是转折，表示前面所说的不是问题，而只是考虑要尽最大努力做。

　　17. D　从定语从句的意义“收入不是最高的或者不是最受尊敬的”可以看出是指所从事的“职业”。

　　18. C　只要尽了自己最大的能力做工作，感觉就有收获。accomplish something是“有所收获”之意。

　　19. B　和前面“去完成(他们)达不到的期望”是并列关系，表示做他们不“喜欢”做的事情。

　　20. A　孩子那么做的目的是让父母感到“自豪”。

　　21. A　这一段从另一方面分析“as long as you do your best”也有不好的方面。所以选problem(问题)。

　　22. C　虽然说“只要尽力了”，但是问题是本来能够做得更好的事情却没做到的话，就会有“内疚”的感觉。

　　23. B　作者不喜欢的是得了低分或者没做好某事时，父母还说“只要尽力了”这样的时刻。hate it when…为固定句型。

　　24. C　get a low mark和fail in something是选择关系，即得了低分或者没做好某事。

　　25. A　强调程度，意思是“不像有些人担心的那么多”。

　　26. D　虽然四个单词都和in搭配构成固定短语，但是根据意思，这段是对上文的归纳，所以用in conclusion表示“总之”。

　　27. C　A、B、C项都可以跟过去分词作宾语补足语，但keep有“保持……”的意思。

　　28. D　这句话也“表明”“我”父母支持“我”的大部分决定。

　　29. B　父母认为“我”是“负责任的”人。

　　30. A　作者认为自己要把“as long as you do your best”这句话“传递”给他的孩子们。

　　.美国总统奥巴马在就职典礼上打的领带的颜色成为人们议论的焦点，因为其领带的颜色代表了他执政的风格。本文探讨政治家们喜好的领带的颜色与其政治风格的关系，以及人们在不同场合应该选择什么样的领带。

　　31．A　细节理解题。第一段说，这是因为人们认为，奥巴马对就职典礼上系的领带颜色的选择将表明他的政府是什么类型，将实行什么样的政策。

　　32．B　推理判断题。从第二段可知，美国共和党成员近年常打红色领带，民主党成员打蓝色领带，可是尽管如此，布什却经常打蓝色领带。由此判断，他是美国共和党的成员。

　　33．A　推理判断题。第三段说，希望被人视为强者和决策者的人喜欢打红色领带，商业巨头Donald Trump喜欢打红色领带。作者提到这个例子是为了证明前面提到的观点，即颜色表达情感及人的性格，因此选A。

　　34．C　推理判断题。全文介绍了领带的颜色与政治家们的主张与行为之间的联系，可见领带对政治家们的重要性，因此A项错误；最后部分谈到求职面试和男女约会时如何选领带及工作面试是最重要的场合，因此B项错误，此时应该选用代表严肃的颜色，因此D项错误；从Perfect job interview tie中的叙述可知C项正确。
