四、阅读理解
James Arruda Henry,a 98-year-old retired lobsterman,has written and published his first book,“In a Fisherman’s Language”,after learning to read at the incredible age of 91.
Mr.Henry spent most of his life without even his closest family members knowing he was illiterate(文盲).Forced to quit school in the third grade to take some jobs,he kept the secret close to his chest—only telling to his late wife.
A family problem in his 90s sparked his courage to restart his education.“He signed a document he could not read,” Mr.Henry?s granddaughter said.And then,after hearing about George Dawson,a son of slaves who learned to read at the age of 98 and went on to write a book of his own,entitled “Life Is So Good” at the age of 101,Mr.Henry took up reading.
“If he can do it,I?m going to try,” Mr.Henry said.Starting with his name,he eventually moved on to ABC?s and children?s books.He put them down for four years after the tragic loss of his wife.But eventually he went back to reading and with the help of his tutor began to record his life.
He wrote about his family?s voyage from Portugal to the U.S.,his many journeys at sea and how he was unable to save another fisherman who had fallen overboard.He became a carpenter and even a professional boxer—and eventually built his own home in Stonington Borough.
His life stories have become so popular;in fact,nearly 800 copies were sold in the first two weeks of the book?s release last month.One thousand more have since been printed as requests for the book are flooding in from as far as Germany.And now even Hollywood producers have approached Mr.Henry about the option of rights to his life story for a big screen adaptation.

2.Mr.Henry made up his mind to study because he .

一、单句填空
1.Designed 句意:这本相册是为孩子们设计的,它一出版就受到了家长们的欢迎。考查非谓语动词。the album与design为被动关系,故用过去分词作状语。
2.was 句意:他太专注于这次实验了,甚至没注意到已经12点多了。考查倒装结构。当so/such位于句首时,其后的句子用部分倒装,be absorbed in专注于。
3.Similarly 句意:跑步是保持身体健康的一个好方法,骑自行车对我们的健康同样有益。根据句意可知,设空处应用副词形式修饰整个句子。
4.being knocked 句意:为了避免被汽车撞倒,在交通高峰期过马路时一定要小心。考查动词avoid的用法。avoid后需接动词-ing形式作宾语,题干中的you与knock down之间为逻辑上的被动关系,故用动名词的被动形式。
5.hadn’t done 句意:——小汤姆打坏了我们班的窗子。——我宁愿他没做过那件事。 would rather sb.had(not)done sth.“宁愿某人(没)做过某事”。
6.being attacked 句意:最近,中国加强了对黄岩岛附近水域的管控,以防止中国渔船在中国南海受到袭击。考查非谓语动词。此处Chinese fishing boats与非谓语动词之间是被动关系,再结合prevent sb.from doing sth.可知应该用being done结构。
7.left 句意:——在你这次去西藏的旅行中你一定非常喜欢用你的新相机吧。——本来会是这样的,可是在David开车送我去机场时我把相机落在了他的车里。根据对话的语境和题干中的drove可知,空格处动作与drove同时发生,要用一般过去时。
8.energetic 句意:我的同桌每天有规律地锻炼身体,所以他总是精力充沛并且学习效率很高。考查形容词。系动词is后应该用形容词作表语。
9.striking 句意:电影《侏罗纪公园》是一部很受欢迎的电影,它的主题给人们的内心既带来了恐惧感也带来了激动。考查with+宾语+宾补。idea与非谓语动词之间是主动关系,应该用v.-ing形式作宾补。
10.hearing;telling 句意:由于我要离开至少一年的时间,我很乐意时常收到你的来信,告诉我大家的情况。考查非谓语动词。根据语境可知,第一个空考查appreciate doing sth.愿意做某事。第二个空是现在分词作状语。
二、语法填空

1.who 考查关系词。此处为非限制性定语从句,关系词在定语从句中作主语且指人,故用who。
2.imaginary 考查词形转换。根据句子结构可分析,此处缺少形容词作定语,故用动词imagine的形容词形式imaginary“虚构的”。
3.am writing 考查时态。根据语境可分析,“我”正在给假想的朋友写信。故用现在进行时。
4.met 考查虚拟语气。根据下文的wouldn’t think可判断,if从句中的谓语动词该用过去式,表示对现在情况的假设。
5.gradually 考查副词。根据句子结构可分析,此处该用副词修饰谓语动词。
6.happier 考查形容词的比较级。根据上下文语境及关键词than before可知用happier。

9.to stay 考查非谓语动词。ask sb.to do sth.结构可知填to stay。
