　　Ⅲ．阅读理解

　　Many people have tried to simplify the spelling of English words.Unlike other languages，English sometimes spells the same sounds in very different ways.For example，there is “light” but “white”，“loan” but “phone”，and there are at least seven different ways of pronouncing “ough”：“though”，“through”，“bough”，“cough”，“enough”，“ought” and “thorough”．

　　The American President Theodore Roosevelt almost succeeded in simplifying English spelling.In 1906，Andrew Carnegie started the Simplified Spelling Board.He was one of the richest men in the United States of America.The board's plan was to make the spelling of words nearer to the way they sound.For example，the word “though” would be spelt “tho” and “through” would become “thru”．Other people on the board were Melvil Dewey，the head of the New York libraries，and Professor Brander Matthews of Columbia University.They explained their idea to President Roosevelt，who thought that it was indeed logical.He immediately asked the government printer to use simplified spelling in all government letters.

　　But people didn't like the change，even if it made life easier.So the new simpler spelling was not popular.More importantly，when the American politicians discussed the plan，they did not like it either.Because Roosevelt did not want to have any problems with the politicians，he changed his mind and told the printer to go back to the old way of spelling.

　　Since then no one in any government has dared to simplify English spelling.However，people do simplify some words，mainly in advertisements.For example，we often see “tonite” instead of “tonight” and “thru” instead of “through”．

　　1．Many people have tried to simplify English spelling because ______.

　　A．English words are too long to remember

　　B．there are many mistakes in English words

　　C．lots of words are spelt in many different ways

　　D．sometimes the same sounds have different spellings

　　2．What was Theodore Roosevelt's attitude towards simplified spelling?

　　A．Worried.

　　B．Supportive.

　　C．Uncertain.

　　D．Doubtful.

　　3．According to the passage，simplified spelling ______.

　　A．was welcomed by the US politicians

　　B．changed the way the words sound

　　C．has been used widely for over a century

　　D．was first used in US government letters

　　4．Roosevelt's plan to simplify English spelling ______.

　　A．failed in the end

　　B．proved quite successful

　　C．won wide support

　　D．influenced English greatly

　　Ⅳ．根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

　　参考答案

　　Ⅰ．1．make out　2．tell；apart　3．let himself down　4．got down to writing　5．No wonder

　　Ⅱ．1．D　generous意为“慷慨的；宽大的”；limited意为“有限的”；narrow意为“狭窄的”；abundant意为“丰富的；充裕的”。根据句意判断应选D项，abundant resources表示“丰富的资源”。

　　2．A　owe...to...意为“把……归功于……”；thank...for...意为“因……而感谢……”；base...on...意为“把……建立在……基础上”；rely on意为“依靠；仰仗”。根据句意判断应选A项，表示“中国把成功归功于改革开放政策”。

　　3．C　第一个空应选what引导表语从句，指过去的情况，即“他不是过去的他了（他的一切情况都与过去不一样了），而who指具体的人，表示“他不是过去那个人了”，不合句意；train意为“训练；锻炼”，transform意为“转变；变换”，显然C项符合句意，表示“改变了他的性格”。

　　4．D　acquire意为“学会；获得”，符合句意，表示“获得很好的掌握”。

　　5．C　在after引导的时间状语从句中，the professor为主语，made a comment为谓语，中间部分为定语修饰the professor。根据oppose doing sth.结构判断此处可表达为opposing carrying，根据be opposed to doing sth.判断此处也可表达为opposed to carrying，所以答案为C项。

　　6．A　mean to do sth.意为“打算、想要做某事”，mean doing sth.意为“意味着做某事”，根据句意判断第一个空应选to eat，表示“我什么都不想吃”；resist doing sth.意为“抵制做某事；忍住做某事”，所以第二个空应选trying，表示“忍不住尝了一个”。

　　7．A　superior意为“好于；优于”，本身含有比较意义但不是比较级，后面搭配介词to而不是than；第二个空应选one泛指“一个；一部”，而it指上文中提到的同一事物。

　　8．D　句意：这是那个人第二次让我失望，我再也不会相信他了。refer to意为“提到；参考”；set down意为“记下”；attend to意为“处理照料”；let down意为“使失望”。根据句意可知选D项。

　　9．B　考查名词。recommendation意为“推荐”；clarification意为“澄清”；reflection意为“反映”；sympathy意为“同情”。由句子中的scientists可知，科学家所做的工作应是为人们澄清一些非科学的事情。句意：我认为科学家应该澄清电影《2012》中的灾难不会发生在我们的生活中。故选B项。

　　10．A　由于空后为名词短语your bad work，可排除B项的从属连词because；in favour of意为“支持；赞成”，与后面的句意矛盾；C项表达错误，表示“因为；由于”时，为as a consequence of；A项正确。句意：因为你糟糕的工作，我不得不解雇你。

　　11．A　no wonder意为“难怪”；no way意为“没门；绝不”；no doubt意为“毫不怀疑”；D项表达错误。第二句句意：难怪他不时地获得奖学金。

　　12．B　in short意为“总之”，用于总结归纳，符合句意。A项意为“由于；因为”，后面需接宾语；C项错误，in general意为“总的来说”；D项本身错误，in conclusion意为“总之”。

　　13．A　be obsessed with...意为“迷恋上……”；句意：一年前他迷上了赌博，家庭都失去了。

　　14．C　pick up意为“捡起；学会；用车接”；turn down意为“关小；拒绝”；make out意为“理解；辨认出”；come across意为“偶然碰到”。句意：由于时间很长了，我几乎认不出这是张什么照片。

　　15．A　从句子结构来看，they got down to为定语从句，所选的应该是全句的谓语，所以用stopped。

　　Ⅲ．1．D　根据第一段第二句话可知，人们试图简化英语拼写是因为英语单词有时候同样的发音会有不同的拼写。

　　2．B　根据第二段最后两句话可知，Roosevelt对简化英语拼写持支持态度。

　　3．D　根据第二段最后一句话可知，简化拼写首先是在美国政府信函中使用的。

　　4．A　根据第三段最后可知，Roosevelt改变了主意，拼写改革计划最终失败了。

　　Ⅳ．1～5 DEACF

　　Hello_Peter！How_are_you_going_these_days?

　　In order to provide us students with an opportunity to exchange books and make better use of used books，our Student Union held a campus book fair on the afternoon of October 15,2016At the book fair，students could sell unwanted books，buy needed books or simply trade books with each other.Like other fairs of this kind，prices were typically very low.Happily，I not only got rid of several books but also bought a few books I really wanted.

　　As far as I'm concerned，I like this activity，which is beneficial to us students.On the one hand，I felt my social skills had been well practiced and improved.On the other hand，this activity also gave us an excellent opportunity to feel a bit of the real world.I wish more events like this book fair would be held in our school.

　　Looking forward to hearing from you!

　　Love，
