The summer before I went off to college,Mom stood me in her usual spot behind the ironing board(烫衣板)and said,“Pay attention:I’m going to teach you to iron.”

“Learn to iron a shirt,”Mom said,“and you can iron anything.”
But ironing shirts was not 4 work.It didn’t make use of long muscles we used to throw a baseball,and it wasn’t a 5 operation like ice-skating.Ironing was like driving a car on a street that has a stop sign every 10 feet.Moreover,an iron produced steam and it carried an element of 6 .If you touched the wrong part of it,you’d get burnt.If you forgot to turn it off when you 7 ,you might burn down the house.

四、阅读理解
A class with tens or even hundreds of thousands of students might sound like a teacher’s bad dream.But a big idea in higher education these days is the massive open online course,or MOOC.
Some universities offer free,non-credit(无学分的)MOOCs available to anyone in the world.Others charge for courses and provide credits.The idea is still developing.
So far,most massive open online courses are in computer science,technology,mechanics and engineering.For example,students around the world are taking a free course called “Building a Computer Search Engine”.Two computer scientists,Sebastian Thrun and David Evans,are offering this course through udacity.com.
There are no education requirements for the course.The students watch short videos.Then,says Mr.Evans,they take informal quizzes(测试)after the videos each week for six weeks.
David Evans:“Quizzes are part of the lecture to keep students engaged and keep them thinking,for students to be able to check that they understood what we covered.Those are not graded and students can try those as often as they wish.They can repeatedly watch the videos and take the quizzes whenever they want.”
Students receive homework.They join online groups to exchange questions and answers about the course.The teachers hold office hours to answer questions that the students have voted to send them.They also present their own questions and observations to the students in order to help them make a deeper impression of the course.
The students take a final examination to show where they rate in the class.Everyone who finishes the course receives a grade and proof of completion.Top students get letters documenting their work.
Mr.Thrun started Udacity,which supports free MOOCs.Udacity hopes to make a profit in the future by connecting possible employers with interested students.On his Stanford homepage he says he wants to “democratize” education.Education,he says,should be free,accessible for all,anywhere and anytime.

一、单句填空
1.consisted 句意:在2017年夏天被派往洪灾地区的那个医疗队由30名成员组成。考查动词时态和语态。consist of“由……组成”,不用于被动语态,相当于be made up of。由2017可知,此处应用一般过去时。
2.hidden 句意:每个人的脸都藏在面具后,很难分辨他们到底是谁。考查非谓语动词。face与hide之间是被动关系,故用过去分词作宾补。
3.which 句意:我借给他十本杂志,其中的大部分都比你想象的更精彩。考查定语从句。most of which 引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词ten magazines。
4.to be working 句意:当老板进来时,工人们假装正在机器上努力工作。考查非谓语动词。pretend to be doing假装正在做……。
5.relaxed 句意:花了一个小时的时间解出那道数学题之后,她感到轻松愉快。考查形容词。relaxed“轻松的”,符合句意。
6.is being rebuilt 句意:目前他们和父母住在一起,因为他们自己的房子正在重建。本题考查动词时态和语态。 由题干中的are living可知此处应该是现在进行时,且house与rebuild之间是被动关系,所以要用现在进行时的被动语态is being done结构。
7.marking 句意:神舟八号成功地和天宫一号对接,这标志着中国建立自己空间站的开始。考查非谓语动词。根据语境可知非谓语动词与前面逻辑主语之间是主动关系,因此要用v.-ing形式。
8.to 句意:如果你对这个单词的意思没有把握的话,可以查一下词典。考查固定搭配。refer to参考、查阅。
9.a;the 句意:这对夫妇有自己的理由把他们离婚的事情暂时保密。keep sth.a secret把某事保密;for the moment暂且、目前。
10.Dressed 句意:穿着校服,我们都为自己是这所名校的学生而有一种自豪感。考查非谓语动词作状语。根据固定搭配be dressed in可知此处应该用过去分词作状语。
二、语法填空
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。本文向我们介绍了应该如何成为一名记者。成为一名记者需要做很多,首先要接受必要的教育,应该获得尽可能多的实际经验。
1.at 考查介词。at least至少。
2.will assist 考查时态。根据语境可知,这是说将来的事情,应该是在你找记者方面的工作时学校会帮助你。
3.are receiving 考查时态。while是解题的关键,意思是说在接受教育期间应该获得尽可能多的实际经验,所以要用现在进行时。
4.working 考查非谓语动词。mean作“意思是,意味着”讲时后接动名词作宾语。
5.experiences 考查名词。experience意为“经验”不可数,意为“经历”时可数,根据句意此处应该是说实习是非常宝贵的经历。
6.to 考查介词。所填词应该与lead构成搭配。lead to“导致,造成”,符合句意。
7.well 考查副词。设空处前后出现的两个be able to是提示,as well as意为“也,还”。句意:他们需要能够从有趣的角度去处理它,也能够有效地与他人交流。
8.effectively 考查副词。此空所填词应该修饰动词communicate,所以需要用副词形式effectively。
9.ability 考查名词。设空处前面的定冠词the提示此空应该填写名词,因此将able变为名词ability。
10.valuable 考查形容词。应用形容词修饰名词skill,所以此处填valuable。
