Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
I could never have imagined what I would achieve through football.I owe my
life,everything I have to football.
My life in football began with my granddad Joe,who took me to my first game.Over the years,I’ve been lucky enough to enjoy many of our highlights.I’ve played on every continent and everywhere I’ve played,I’ve seen the popularity of English football.I am proud to have been part of the success that English football has enjoyed over the past twenty years.
When my granddad took me to my first game,I could never have imagined that,almost 30 years on,FIFA would invite me to take part in the 2010 World Cup Tour.My granddad would have been so proud to have seen that.Unfortunately the day before I flew out
for the draw my granddad died.That was a year before today.He was an important figure in my life.He started me in football;he guided me through my career.My granddad was certainly as proud of me as I was of him.
Now I want to do something that will make my grandchildren proud.Through FIFA and Presi dent Blatter’s good work,I’ve seen the good that football can do.I’ve seen how it can change lives in all sorts of ways.I’ve seen this in South Africa,in Thailand,in Sierra Leone and all over the world.Now I want to do more and that’s why I’m here today.In fact,it’s why everyone from the England bid,from Prime Minister to Prince William,is here today.Because working together,the FIFA World Cup can achieve so much for so many people,and bring benefits that will be felt over generations.You all can make this happen.Each of you has the chance to create opportunities for young people in every corner of the world.
Our dream is to stage a World Cup that benefits billions.Our dream is to stage a World Cup that makes you,your grandchildren and everyone in football truly
proud.Thank you very much.

B
You wake up in a beautiful seaside town.It’s a bea utiful day and you decide to go for a walk.The first person you see on the street waves at you as if they know you.Do you know them?You don’t think so.You move on,then another person waves and smiles at you.And then one after another does so.You’re pretty sure you don’t know any of them.
No,you’re not in Black Mirror.You’re in Rock Hall,Maryland,where everyone waves and smiles.Locals call it the “Rock Hall wave,” and it helps give this tiny village its typical small-town feel.
Rock Hall is a historical harbor town,with roughly one-quarter of the residents (居民) earning their living on the water.Independent commercial fishermen,known as “watermen” fish for crabs (蟹),oysters(牡蛎) and more in all kinds of weather.
“I call them the last cowboys on the Chesapeake Bay,” says Rock Hall resident Tom McHugh.Although watermen may look tough,they’re just as friendly as everyone else in Rock Hall.
“The watermen have one hand down watching for crabs,and the other hand automatically goes up as you go by,” says McHugh.“It’s a n identifying part of Rock Hall friendliness,no matter where you are.”
“It’s a very welcoming community,” says McHugh.“It doesn’t matter if it is a truck or a Benz (奔驰)—you just wave.”
At first,this precious local custom confuses people,but soon,even most short-term visitors begin to return the favor.“Most people wave back,” says Rock Hill Mayor Brian Jones.“It’s really unique,the friendliness.It’s a signature thing in Rock Hall.”

Ⅱ.七选五
Everybody knows the importance of drinking enough water.As we all know,drinking water benefits your skin,muscles and organs.1.
The major reason for that is related to human biological needs.When you’re a baby,you’re 75 percent water.Then,as the years get higher,you get drier.2. It helps you lose weight,according to a study from the University of Birmingham.
The researchers found that drinking 500 ml of water thirty minutes before a meal helped participants lose 10 more pounds than those who did not.3. All participants were advised to improve their diet and physical activity levels.84 overweight adults were involved.Among them 41 were told to “preload” with
water,while 43 were told to control their water intake before eating.After 12 weeks,the participants instructed to “preload” with water lost 2.87 pounds more than those in the control group on average.In addition,the participants preloading with water before each of their three main meals every day lost 9.48 pounds over the 12 weeks.4.
Dr.Helen Parretti,a lecturer at the University of Birmingham,had this to say of the study:5. Just drinking 500 ml of water,three times a day,before your main meals may help reduce your weight...and this could be an easy way for weight
loss.Furthermore,it can be significant for an individual to lose extra weight,making a potential contribution to public health.
A.Another reason to drink water is right here.
B.The study began with a weight management consultation.
C.The beauty of these findings is that losing weight is simple.
D.But not everyone can get access to tap water in some areas.
E.It also helps prevent certain diseases and improve your mood.
F.In contrast,those preloading once a day or never,lost just 1.76 pounds.
G.So kids should drink more water instead of coke to keep healthy.

积累词汇量不是一朝一夕的事情,而是一个长期坚持的过程。

文章告诉我们,阅读是提高词汇量的有效途径之一。

1.an 考查冠词。

process为可数名词单数形式,且ongoing为元音音素开头,故此处为不定冠词an。

2.which 考查定语从句。

此处为which引导的非限制性定语从句,which在从句中做主语。

3.months 考查名词。

由空格前的a few可知,此处应为名词month的复数形式。

4.for 考查介词。

be enough for sth.为固定搭配,意为“对……足够”。

5.effective 考查形容词。

此处用形容词effective修饰名词ways,意为“有效的方法”。

6.really 考查副词。

此处为副词really修饰动词read。

7.sounds 考查动词的时态语态。

根据上下文可知,此处应为一般现在时的主动语态,因主语it为第三人称单数,故此处应填sounds。

8.reading 考查非谓语动词。

此处为“while you are reading”的省略形式,动词read与逻辑
主语you之间为主动关系,故用动词-ing形式做状语。

9.their 考查代词。

此处为形容词性物主代词their修饰名词use。

10.learned/learnt 考查非谓语动词。

此处为非谓语动词做后置定语修饰名词words,因两者为被动关系,故用过去分词learned/learnt。
