　　读写任务（共l小题，满分25分）

　　阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

　　These are the two simple words, "if' and "what". These two words can be used in many sentences and questions by them, selves, but if you put them together, it forms a serious question, "What if...?"

　　This question will bring you back to a certain time in your life when you made a choice. You may not be happy with that choice today and often think about why you did it, but you made the decision because it was the best choice at that specific moment m your life. Now, years later, you start to think about that specific choice you made. You mentally struggle with yourself and consider if you could choose again, what would you do? Would it be totally different?

　　I truly believe if you want something very much, you can do it and achieve it, because "Where there is a will, there is-a way". You can correct the mistakes of your decisions for the past, go out and find happiness in the right decisions for your future. It is never too late to do anything in life.

　　【参考范文】读写任务 (One possible version)

　　This passage mainly tells us it is never too late to achieve our dreams so long as we have the determination, even though some wrong decisions may have been made before.

　　　As for me, I believe in the old saying “Nothing is impossible”. No matter how many difficulties we might go through, we can overcome them if we don’t give up.

　　　Harland Sanders, who quitted school and worked on a farm at 14, became a cook and dishwasher later. He didn’t achieve anything until he retired and used his small retirement check to start a new business at the age of 65. Now Harland’s business, Kentucky Fried Chicken, has expanded to all over the world. That man, who failed in everything he did, refused to be a loser. I really appreciate Harland’s courage and persistence. It was because he never gave up that he made a fortune. There is no doubt that we can equally succeed if we stick to our dreams.

　　A

　　Do you ever wonder why the English have one word for some animals and a different one for their meat？Why do they use pig and pork，cow and beef，and sheep and mutton？To find out，we have to go back to 1066，when the Norman French invaded England and put a French king on the English throne(王位)，which not only changed the government but also changed the language.French became the language of the upper classes of society.And it remained that way for 300 years.Only these high society people could afford to eat meat.As a result，French words like porc(pork) and beouf(beef) came into the English language.However，poor English farmers raised the animals.So the English language retained the words pig and cow from the native Anglo­Saxon.

　　The Norman French added about 10,000 French words to the English language.Seventy­five percent of them are still in use today.

　　Language experts estimate that English speakers who have never studied French already know 15,000 French words！Between one­third and two­thirds of all English words have French origins.Some words such as possible and avenue are the same in French and English；only the pronunciations change.Other words such as ballet or a la carte(照菜单点菜) retain their French pronunciations in both languages.

　　In French grammar，nouns have either a male or female gender，so adjectives(形容词) take different forms for each.English has only one adjective that does this，and it came from French.The word blond describes someone with light­colored hair.Blond is used for men，and blonde describes women.And they are also nouns.

　　Some French words that entered the English language have taken on completely different meanings.The French phrase a la mode means “in style”．In English，the phrase means “with ice cream”．Someone must have decided something eaten with ice cream was in style!

　　Now，as you learn English，you’re on your way to learning French!

　　1．French was once popular among the upper classes of the UK because________.

　　A．too many French moved to Britain

　　B．French brought animals with them

　　C．the king and his officials spoke French

　　D．the king allowed French to be spoken

　　2．Which word can replace the word “retained” in Paragraph 1?

　　A．Adopted.

　　B．Kept.C．Introduced. D．Deserted.

　　3．Why does an English speaker find French easy to learn?

　　A．Because English and French share similar pronunciations.

　　B．Because English grammar and French grammar are similar.

　　C．Because a large number of English words have French origins.

　　D．Because English has great influences on the French language.

　　4．French grammar is distinct from English grammar in that________.

　　A．no words have the same pronunciations

　　B．all words have the same pronunciations

　　C．English nouns have a male or female gender

　　D．French nouns have different adjective forms

　　5．What conclusion can we draw from the text?

　　A．Language is closely related to history and culture.

　　B．French and English words have nothing in common.

　　C．Language is controlled by the upper classes of society.

　　D．English combines French and the native Anglo­Saxon.

　　B

　　One bitterly cold day，a snowstorm blew into our area.Needing firewood，I quickly set out with my best friend，Bruce，to look for a tree to cut down.I was glad to have Bruce along with.Cutting down a tree in a snowstorm can be dangerous.So it was important to have a friend who could warn me of danger.

　　When I chose a big tree about 23 meters tall and prepared to cut it down，my best friend suddenly warned me，“Don’t cut down that tree！It’s too close to the power line！”I wasn’t sure about it.So I decided to disregard his warning.I wanted to finish the job quickly and go home.So I began cutting down the tree.When the tree fell，there was no longer any doubt that my friend was right.

　　The tree caught the power line，bringing it to the ground.I considered cutting the tree off the line.After all，electricity can’t travel through wood，so I could safely remove the tree.As I reached out my finger to touch the tree，pain ran up my arm and through my head.I was shocked!

　　After I returned home and told my mother what had happened，she quickly called the power company.The workers from the power company soon arrived on the scene.One of them asked if I had touched the tree，and when I told him I had，his face turned pale.

　　“You should have been killed，” he said.

　　So why am I still alive？It was my boots that saved my life.

　　Within two hours，the workers removed the tree.Soon the snowstorm calmed down—but not my mother.

　　Even though she was glad I wasn’t hurt，my mother was still serious.After all，I shouldn’t have brushed off my friend’s warning.

　　Through this experience，I learn it’s important to listen to people who offer a different perspective.Taking time to listen might actually save a lot of time and trouble.It certainly would have kept me from getting the “shock” of my life.

　　6．The underlined word “disregard” in the second paragraph means “________”．

　　A．pay no attention to

　　语篇定位

　　本文从1066年法国人成为英国的国王谈起，谈到了英语中来自法语的词汇产生的社会背景、英语与法语相同的词汇、英语与法语的语法差异等。

　　1．C　[推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知，1066年法国国王成为英国的国王，从此法语成为英国上流社会的通用语言。]

　　2．B　[词义猜测题。根据第一段的内容可知，1066年法国国王成为英国的国王，从此法语成为英国上流社会的通用语言。由于只有上流社会的人吃得起肉，因此，像porc (猪肉)和beouf (牛肉)等这些法语词汇就融入了英语。但是养牲畜的仍是贫穷的英国农民，因此，英语中就保留了当地人的一些用词，如pig和cow等。显然，retained与kept同义。]

　　3．C　[推理判断题。根据文章第二、三、四、五段的内容可知，英语借用了法语中约10,000个词，其中75%仍被应用，并且三分之一到三分之二的英语词汇来自法语，因此，说英语的人会感觉法语容易学。]

　　4．D　[细节理解题。从第四段可知，法语的名词分为阴性和阳性，并且它们均有不同形式的形容词。英语中只有一组来自法语的形容词blond和blonde属于这种情况。blond用于描述男人，而blonde则用于描述女人。]

　　5．A　[主旨大意题。从本文我们可以得出结论：一个国家的语言与它的历史和文化密切相关。A项为正确答案。]

　　语篇定位

　　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了“我”不顾朋友的提醒坚持把一棵大树砍倒了，被砸断的电线差点要了“我”的命的故事。

　　长难句分析

　　When I chose a big tree about 23 meters tall and prepared to cut it down，my best friend suddenly warned me，“Don’t cut down that tree！It’s too close to the power line！”

　　本句含有一个时间状语从句，主句中包含了一个直接引语。prepare to do sth.意为“准备做某事”；cut down意为“砍倒”。句意为：当我选择了一棵23米高的大树并准备将其砍倒的时候，我最好的朋友警告我说，“不要砍那棵树！它离电线太近了！”

　　6．A　[词义猜测题。根据上下文的语境可知，该词的意思是“不注意，不理会”，这里是指不理会朋友的警告。]

　　7．B　[细节理解题。文章第二段中的“I wasn’t sure about it.So I decided to disregard his warning.I wanted to finish the job quickly and go home.So I began cutting down the tree.”说明了“我”依然要砍树的原因。]

　　8．C　[是非判断题。根据第三段中的“After all，electricity can’t travel through wood，so I could safely remove the tree.”可知作者是懂得电的基本常识的，因此C项与文意不符。]

　　9．B　[细节理解题。结合上下文的语境，该句的意思是“暴风雪停止了，可是妈妈还没有平静下来”，即妈妈仍然对那次事故感到十分恐惧。]

　　10．B　[主旨大意题。A项意为“描述了他的一次可怕经历”；B项意为“通过他的经历让我们知道倾听别人的不同观点是很重要的”；C项意为“告诉我们不要再砍树了”；D项意为“提醒我们工作的时候要小心”，结合文章最后一段的内容可知B项是最佳答案。]
