Ⅲ.阅读理解
As the first woman Chancellor(总理) in German’s history, Angela Merkel topped Forbes magazine’s list of “The World’s 100 Most Powerful Women” in 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009. She has even been compared to Margaret Thatcher and many people called her “Iron Lady”.
Merkel was born in Hamburg, West Germany, on July 17, 1954. Six weeks after she was born, her family moved to Templin. As a small child, Merkel quickly learned to speak but took longer to walk. “I was a stupid person when it came to moving.” Merkel said. “A normal person could do something naturally, but I had to think about it in my mind and practice.” As a teenager, she was the top student and graduated from high school with perfect marks. In 1973, Merkel went to the University of Leipzig, where she studied physics. At 32, she got her doctor’s degree in Physics.
She stepped_into_politics in 1989. In her first big political job as Minister for the Environment in 1994, her scientific background and strong will proved very useful. In 2005 she became Germany’s Chancellor. She has been reelected to a second term as German Chancellor on September 27, 2009.
Through her political career, Merkel’s persistence (坚持) and patience helped her a lot. “She’s bright and open－minded，” said Hubert Markl. “She is the person who wants to know exactly what is going on, and how never giving up will influence our society and future.”

Ⅳ.阅读简答
It’s strange that a man born on Labor Day has had to work so hard to succeed in life. Jacob seems like a normal person. He likes music, art and photography. His parents both got college degrees. He used to go to a beach house in Portland every summer. He is a big fan of Mexican food. Reading these facts about him may lead to the opinion that he had a great childhood. However, behind all of these is a past that would be terrible for many kids growing up.
It started when he was only two years old. His parents divorced and then remarried. Going through elementary school and middle school, he was frightened a lot. This may have led to the worst thing that could have happened to a young man.
He developed deep depression. Doing the smart thing, he talked to his parents about his problem. His parents decided that this issue was very serious and Jacob was admitted to West Hills Hospital. He stayed there for two weeks and had his depression diagnosed. Serious insomnia caused the problem.
The solution was daily medication. The medication took care of Jacob’s depression problem. However, it contained a substance with lithium(锂). The side effect he suffered from lithium was that he got spoonfuls of sugar and ate it with anything else that was on his plate. This led to a weight gain of 25 pounds while he was on medication. So he decided he had to lose some weight and stop the medication.
Now he has lost a big part of the weight and he has managed to solve his problem he had in high school. Now he is a happy human being.
Many people would have had a very hard time coming back from depression. Many people probably would have given up their dreams. But Jacob is not like this. He took what was a mess of his life and turned it around to become a great man and a person with a very bright future.
33. When was Jacob possibly born according to the passage? (No more than 3 words)
________________________________________________________________________
34. Why did Jacob suffer from deep depression? (No more than 4 words)
________________________________________________________________________
35. How did Jacob gain the weight of 25 pounds while on medication? ( No more than 5 words)
________________________________________________________________________
36. What can we know from Jacob’s story? (No more than 10 words)
________________________________________________________________________
课时作业(二十六)
Ⅰ.1.A here和there放在句首时，主语是名词要用全部倒装，主语为代词则不用倒装。
2．A 表示否定含义的副词never放句首用部分倒装。
3．A 本题考查倒装句的用法。句意为：只有在你饮食正确的条件下，你才能保持健康。only用于句首和状语或状语从句连用时，后面使用倒装结构。unless＝if not(除非；如果……不)，用于句首时引导条件状语从句，主句不用倒装，首先排除C项。D项句意为：“如果你饮食正确，你将不能保持健康。”语意逻辑有问题。故A项正确。
4．B 本题考查动词词义辨析。differ 不同，有差别；range(在一定范围内)变化；alter 改变；separate 分开，分离。此句的意思是：得取决于你买的样式，价格在100美元到500美元里变化。根据句意，应选B。
5．B 本题考查动词辨析。前面的leave表示离开大学，那么后面就应该选择“不允许”返回来了。admit 允许；receive收到；turn翻转；move移动。故选B。
6．C 本题考查动词词义辨析。根据题意，“我们推算我们将在下午六点到那儿”可知选C。count数；figure计算；calculate估计，推算；evaluate 评估，评价。
7．D 考查名词辨析。A项意为“报酬，奖金”，B项意为“奖赏，奖金，奖品”，C项意为“成本，价钱，代价”，D项意为“价值，估价，评价”。句意为：鉴于它真正的价值，我想，它很值得付诸实践。
8．A before的本意是“在……之前”，在此句理解为“还没来得及……”。
9．B 考查名词辨析。scene意为“景象，尤指部分景色或某一舞台场面或片断”；view 指从远处或窗户看到的视野范围内的风景；观点，看法；scenery 风景，景色，舞台布景，强调从美的角度看，某个国家或地区的总体外貌；landscape(自然的)风景，景色；风景画，多指内陆的自然风光。
10．A 考查名词词义辨析。句意：地震过后，地方政府所做的第一件事就是为那些无家可归的人们提供食宿。accommodation住处；occupation 占有，居住；equipment 设备；furniture家具。
11．C 考查非谓语动词。句意：南方下了大雨，在几个省区造成严重洪灾。空格后serious flooding是rained heavily的后果，而且句子主语it和cause之间存在主动关系，所以此处要用动词的－ing形式作结果状语
12．C 考查固定搭配。commit oneself to doing sth.承诺做某事。
13．B 考查时态和主谓一致。根据as well as并列两个名词作主语时，谓语动词与as well as前面的名词在人称数上一致，排除A项；experiment with意为“进行实验，进行试验”，experiment on意为“在……上试验”，如：He experimented on rats.由此排除D项；根据语境，该空与其主语在逻辑上是主动关系，排除C项。
14．A 否定副词never放于句首，构成倒装句，时间状语应用陈述语序。
15．B next month是时间点，不是时间段，“after＋时间点”可用于将来时，表示某一特定时间之后。此处如果不用介词，则表示“下个月”；用了after，则表示“下个月以后”。until在肯定句中要与延续性动词连用。
Ⅱ.这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章，记述了感恩节前夕发生在一对母女身上的感人故事。虽然家境贫寒，但是母亲仍然捐献给因失火而身陷困境的邻居一些物品。正在这时，仅仅三岁的女儿决定要捐献自己最喜爱的玩具熊，妈妈舍不得但是又不忍伤害女儿幼小的心灵，勉强同意了。女儿年龄虽小，但是心胸不小，可爱可敬。
16．A 上文提到住所简陋，又没有工作，生活艰堆，只能勉强量入为出。struggled (努力，奋斗)符合语境。
17．B 由下文列举各方援助的具体细节可知大家在“援助(rescue)”。
18．A 依据下文I helped carry items to their car可知她们是来募捐的，“收集(collecting)”捐献物品的。
19．D 其实作者内心是“期盼，渴望(longing)”捐献更多物品的，但实在是心有余而力不足。
20．D 依据下文you’re right. We forgot the toy…推断出这里女儿的意思是我们“忘记(forgot)”拿什么东西了。
21．B 作者还没来得及跟着女儿进屋，她已经又跑了出来。before这里作“还没来得及……就……”。
22．B 结合上下文推断该玩具熊是女儿的最爱。
23．A 女儿看着“我”的脸，察言观色，试探“我”的态度。
24．C 女儿现在要把她最喜爱的玩具捐出去。give away捐献。
25．C 大家都屏住呼吸，静观事情的发展。hold one’s breath是固定短语，意为“屏住呼吸”。
26．B 这里指“我”都要说不出话了。
27．D 这件事让作者意识到她的女儿心地善良，可爱可敬。
Ⅲ.本文讲述了德国第一任女总理默克尔的生平事迹。
28．B 细节理解题。由文章中Merkel quickly learned to speak but took longer to walk说明Merkel走路学得很慢。
29．D 词义猜测题。联系画线部分后面的In her first big political job as Minister for the Environment in 1994我们知道，1989年她涉足政界，所以D项最符合。
30．A 推理判断题。由文章中我们可以知道默克尔是一个有理想和决心的女性。
31．C 推理判断题。文章的最后一段主要说明坚持的作用，它可以使一个人成功。
32．A 推理判断题。文章中作者用了许多褒义词来称赞默克尔，因此作者对默克尔充满了赞美之情。
