短文语法填空
阅读下面短文,按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求,在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。A London-based translation firm is offering parents-to-be the chance to check the meaning of prospective baby names in other languages to avoid causing their offspring future __1__ (embarrass).
Celebrity couple Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes might have thought twice about naming __2__ daughter Suri if they __3__(know) that it means “pickpocket” in Japanese, “turn sour” in French, and “horse mackerel” in Italian, suggests Today Translations.
__4__1000 pounds ( $ 1 678 ), the company’ s linguists will carry out a “basic name translation audit” of names,__5__(check) their meaning in 100 languages, or more for an additional cost.
While open to everyone, the firm said __6__ expects the service is likely to attract celebrity clients, who are known for giving their babies unusual names.
Other names of celebrities’ babies it has checked include Kai Rooney, the name of the newborn son of English soccer player Wayne Rooney,__7__ means “probably” in Finnish, “pier” in Estonian, and “stop it” in the west African language of Yoruba.
__8__ musicians Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale may have known Zuma meant “peace” in Arabic when __9__(choose) their son’ s name, they may not have been aware it also translates as “Lord frowns in anger” in the Aztec language of Nahuatl.
However, some unusual name choices of celebrities’ babies are beyond easy translation, the company admits,__10__ as Jermajesty — the name of Michael Jackson’ s brother Jermaine’s son.
1. [解析] 考查词性转换。空格前为形容词修饰语,而且此处是cause sb.sth.的结构,因此断定此处需要填名词,embarrass的名词形式为embarrassment。
[答案] embarrassment
2. [解析] 结合语境考查形容词性物主代词。名词前设空答案首先考虑限定词,因为上文提到“Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes”,所以用their,意为“他们的女儿”。此处表示“名人夫妇Tom Cruise和Katie Holmes要是知道Suri这个名字在其他语言里的意义的话,他们也许会三思后再起名字了”。
[答案] their
3. [解析] 结合语境考查动词的时态。由上文“might have thought”可知,条件句中应用“had+过去分词”。
[答案] had known
4. [解析] 结合语境考查介词。此处for表示交换,此处表示公司给你提供名字方面的调查服务是要收取一定的服务费的。
[答案] For
5. [解析] 结合语境考查现在分词作伴随状语。文章中的“__5__(check)their meaning in 100 languages”作伴随状语;设空处的动词与主句的主语是逻辑上的主谓关系,所以用check的现在分词形式。
[答案] checking
6. [解析] 结合语境考查代词的用法。空格位于宾语从句的谓语动词之前,因此此处需要能作主语的名词或代词。上文刚出现过the firm,所以此处用it来代替它。
[答案] it
7. [解析] 考查which引导的非限制性定语从句。此处which引导的定语从句是修饰Kai Rooney这个名字的,which在定语从句中作主语。
[答案] which
8. [解析] 结合语境考查连词。此处意为“尽管音乐家Gwen Stefani和Gavin Rossdale也许知道Zuma在阿拉伯语中的意思是和平,但是他们也许不知道……”。前后两个分句之间有逻辑上的让步关系,故此处应填While/Although/Though。
[答案] While/Although/Though
9. [解析] 结合语境考查“连词+分词”型省略句。连词后设空且给出动词提示词,这时要首先考虑动词和句子主语的关系,若是主谓关系就用现在分词,此处主语和choose之间就是主谓关系。
[答案] choosing
10.[解析] 结合语境考查such as的用法。此处such as用于列举事物。句意:然而有些名人的孩子的名字不好翻译,例如乔丹的弟弟的儿子的名字Jermajesty就不好翻译。
[答案] such

阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Eddie Mckay,a once-forgotten pilot,is a subject of great interest to a group of history students in Canada.
It all started when Graham Broad,a professor at the University of Western Ontario,found McKay’s name in a footnote in a book about university history. McKay was included in a list of university alumni (校友)who had served during the First World War,but his name was unfamiliar to Broad,a specialist in military history. Out of curiosity,Broad spent hours at the local archives (档案馆)in a fruitless search for information on McKay. Tired and discouraged,he finally gave up. On his way out,Broad’s glance happened to fall on an exhibiting case showing some old newspapers. His eye was drawn to an old picture of a young man in a rugby uniform. As he read the words beside the picture,he experienced a thrilling realization. “After looking for him all day,there he was,staring up at me out of the exhibiting case,” said Broad. Excited by the find,Broad asked his students to continue his search. They combed old newspapers and other materials for clues. Gradually,a picture came into view.
Captain Alfred Edwin McKay joined the British Royal Flying Corps in 1916. He downed ten enemy planes,outlived his entire squadron(中队)as a WWI flyer,spent some time as a flying instructor in England,then returned to the front,where he was eventually shot down over Belgium and killed in December 1917. But there’s more to his story. “For a brief time in 1916 he was probably the most famous pilot in the world,” says Broad. “He was credited with downing Oswald Boelcke,the most famous German pilot at the time.” Yet,in a letter home,McKay refused to take credit,saying that Boelcke had actually crashed into another German plane.
McKay’s war records were destroyed during a World War Ⅱ air bombing on London—an explanation for why he was all but forgotten.
But now,thanks to the efforts of Broad and his students,a marker in McKay’s memory was placed on the university grounds in November 2007. “I found my eyes filling with tears as I read the word‘deceased’ (阵亡)next to his name,” said Corey Everrett,a student who found a picture of Mckay in his uniform. “This was such a simple example of the fact that he had been a student just like us,but instead of finishing his time at Western,he chose to fight and die for his country.”
1. What made Professor Broad continue his search for more information on McKay?
A. A uniform of McKay.B. A footnote about McKay.
C. A book on McKay.
D. A picture of McKay.
2. What did the students find out about McKay?
A. He trained pilots for some time.
B. He lived longer than other pilots.
C. He died in the Second World War.
D. He was downed by the pilot Boelcke.
3. McKay’s flying documents were destroyed in.
A. BelgiumB. GermanyC. CanadaD. England
4. We can learn from the last paragraph that McKay.
A. preferred fight to his study
B. went to war before graduation
C. left a picture for Corey Everrett
D. set an example for his fellow students
5. What is the text mainly about?
A. The research into war history.
B. The finding of a forgotten hero.
C. The pilots of the two world wars.
D. The importance of military studies.

阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Only three local students won Chinese Blog (博客) Competition. And 15 of the 18 awards went to students from China.
170 students’ task: to get a fully-designed blog up and running, complete with many postings based on a theme of choice—all written in Chinese.
Themes ranged from local opinions—such as the usage of Singlish, education and whether Singapore can be a cultural centre—to food blogs.
The entries were judged on language proficiency (熟练程度) and the quality of writing, as well as the design and level of exchanging ideas with readers.
Academics from the National University of Singapore and the SIM University, IT experts, and a journalist from Chinese newspaper Lianhe Zaobao in Singapore made up the judges.
In the end, only three Singaporean students made it to the award list—the rest of the awards were swept up by students from China.
"No surprise,” said Mr. Chow Yaw Long, 37, teacher-in-charge from Innova Junior College, which organized the event. “Although the topics were local subjects, the foreign students were generally better in terms of the content of the posts and their grasp of the Chinese language.”
One of the three local students winning the first prize in the Best Language Award was blogger Christina Gao, 19, from the Saint Andrew’s Junior College, who spared no effort in researching for and writing her blog. Each entry took her between five and seven days to produce, complete with pictures and even podcasts (播客).
Her advice for bloggers is: Be responsible.
"Some bloggers out there only seek to blame the authorities and other bloggers,” said Miss Gao, “I think they lack responsibilities and there is no value to their posts.”
1. The competition was organized by .
A. the National University of Singapore
B. Chinese newspaper Lianhe Zaobao
C. Innova Junior College
D. the Saint Andrew’s Junior College
2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Chinese students won most of the awards.
B. Not all the themes were about local subjects.
C. The blogs could be written in Chinese or Singlish.
D. The judges were from universities in Singapore and China.
3. What Miss Gao said suggests that .
A. she likes to blame the authorities
B. she has a sense of responsibility
C. she thinks highly of the others’ blogs
D. she loves to read valuable posts
4. The passage is mainly about .
A. how Chinese students won the awards in the competition
B. why bloggers should take responsibility for their blogs
C. how Miss Gao won the first prize in the competition
D. what the result of the competition was
