Ⅱ.阅读理解
Nothing would have made me happier than knowing the International Olympic Committee has awarded the 2022 Winter Olympic Games to Beijing at its 128th session in Kuala Lumpur.
Fourteen years ago, I was in Moscow covering the IOC's 112th session where I witnessed Beijing's successful bid for the 2008 Summer Olympic Games. Years later, I covered the 2008 Olympic Games as an accredited journalist.
As Beijing becomes the first city ever to host both the Summer and Winter Olympics, which makes China better known in the world, I couldn't help wondering what to expect from the Games this time. Here is my wish list：
Permanent blue skies
Efforts to prevent pollution ahead of the 2008 Games dramatically improved the air quality in Beijing. I still remember how clear the sky was during the 2008 Paralympic Games that opened two weeks after the Olympic Games ended. Sadly, pollution continued to haunt Beijing afterwards, to a large extent damaging the 2008 efforts.
Once again, expectations are high that staging the Winter Olympic Games will push Beijing to reduce pollution and improve the air quality more effectively. Hopefully, blue skies will become a regular feature even after the Games.
Better transportation
Although Beijing is the host city of the 2022 Winter Games, Chongli county of Zhangjiakou in Hebei will host some of the snow events. I was there once a couple of years ago for skiing, and I had to spend 10 long hours on a congested winding road in the mountains on my way back because the highway was closed after heavy snow.
The experience can't stop me from making another attempt to go skiing in Chongli, which I believe boasted the best facilities for winter sports in North China at that time. It is a pleasure to learn that a high-speed railway linking Beijing and Zhangjiakou is in the works, shortening the travel time from an average 4 hours to 50 minutes.
语篇解读：本文主要讲述了作者得知国际奥委会授予北京2022年冬季奥运会的举办权后的快乐，之后作者描述了自己对北京未来环境和交通方面的希冀。

1．What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．Pleasure for the 2022 Winter Olympic Games.
B. Hopes for the best conditions before the 2022 Winter Olympic Games.
C．Wishes to explain the 2022 Winter Olympic Games.
D．Places and the date for the 2022 Winter Olympic Games.
解析：选B主旨大意题。

根据文章内容可知，本文主要讲述了作者得知在第128届会议上国际奥委会授予北京2022年冬季奥运会的举办权后的快乐，以及自己对环境和交通方面的希冀，故选B。

2．According to the passage, what do we know about the author?
A．A sports reporter.
B．A government official.
C．A member of the National Olympic Committee.
D．An enthusiastic sports fan.
解析：选A推理判断题。

根据第二段中的“Years later, I covered the 2008 Olympic Games as an accredited journalist.”可知，作为特派记者作者几年后报道了2008年奥运会，故选A。

3．What makes China famous in the world from the passage?
A．Better economic environment.
B．Better transportation.
C．Kind and brave people.
D．Hosting the Winter and Summer Olympics.
解析：选D细节理解题。

根据第三段第一句可知，正是由于中国成功申请了夏季和冬
季奥运会，中国在国际上更加出名，故选D。

4．The underlined word in the fourth paragraph means “________”．
A．encourage B．promote
C．bother D．prevent
解析：选C词义猜测题。

根据第四段中的“Sadly, pollution continued to haunt Beijing afterwards, to a large extent damaging the 2008 efforts.”可知，污染继续困扰着北京，在很大程度上损害了2008年奥运会努力得来的成果，故选C。

加餐练(二)主观题规范增分练
Ⅰ.语法填空
London taxi drivers know the capital well. No matter how small the street is, the driver will be able to get you there __1__ any trouble. The reason why London drivers are so good is that they all __2__ (go) through a very tough training period to get taxi driving licences.

After five or six questions, they will just say “See you in two months' time.” and then you know the exam is over. Learner taxi drivers are not allowed __9__ (work) and earn money as drivers. Therefore, many of __10__ won't get their present job until they have obtained the licence.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，介绍了伦敦出租车司机培训和考试的过程。

1．without不管街道多小，司机都会毫无困难地把你送到那里。

根据语境可知设空处填without。

2．have gone根据语境可知，此处应用现在完成时，表示过去发生的事情对现在的影响。

3．which分析句子结构可知，“ __3__ can take two to four years”为非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词“this period”，并在定语从句中作主语，故填which。

4．the根据本句中的“most direct”可知，设空处修饰形容词direct的最高级，故填the。

5．practicing learners与practice之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，故用动词-ing形式作状语。

6．are tested根据语境并分析句子结构可知，test和drivers之间是被动关系，用被动语态；再根据语境，这里应用一般现在时，同时因drivers为复数，故填are tested。

7．experiences这些考试是可怕的经历。

根据空格前的terrible可知，此处应用名词，且experience意为“经历”时，是可数名词，故此处应用复数。

8．quickly分析句子结构可知，设空处修饰动词move，应用副词形式quickly。

9．to work此处考查sb. be allowed to do ...结构，故填to work。

10．them根据上下文语境，此处指代上文中的“Learner taxi drivers”，用代词them。

Dear David，
I am at a loss nowadays because my parents have different opinions about choosing my major in college.
My father thinks I should major in finance for the reason that he feels it will prepare me for a career in the world of business. However, my mother suggests me choosing law as my major because she thinks that our society is in great need of skilled workers and experts in law so that I can find a good job after graduation. Despite their opinions, I want to learn a foreign language because languages are what I am interested in and good at. I know it would be a waste if I don't make full use of my talent for languages.
What should I do? I am looking forward to your advice.
Yours，
Li Hua

Welcome to Guide Dogs Training Center, boys and girls! First let me tell you something about guide dogs.
In 1918 a doctor and his pet dog walked with a soldier who was blind. The doctor went in the hospital for a short time. When he came out, he saw his pet had guided the soldier on the other side of the hospital yard safely. So he taught a dog to guide a person and it worked out well. Germany helped start a program to teach dogs to be guides.
Dorothy, an American woman, went to Germany to find out more about the guide dogs. When she came back to the United States, she wrote about it in a magazine. Soon more people knew about the guide dogs.
The best dogs for the job are clever and fit. It takes more than 2 years to train a little dog to be a guide dog. When the dog is 14 months old, it learns many instructions. Then the owner and the dog meet, and they practice for 4 weeks.
Have I made myself clear? OK, let's go on visiting.

Tired of wasting 14 minutes driving to work every day, a crafty locksmith (灵巧的钳工) from the Czech Republic managed to cut his commute (通勤) time in half by building himself an airplane and flying to work.
Frantisek Hadrava, from the south-western Czech village of Zdikov, used to drive for 14 minutes to his workplace Drevostroj, a small factory in the town of Ckyne, but he thought that was too long. So he spent the last two years building himself a plane based on the U．S.-design of Mini-Max planes. Now, whenever the weather permits, instead of driving his car, he gets into the plane and flies to his workplace in just seven minutes.
“It takes me about 14 minutes by car，” Hadrava said. “By plane, it would take around 4－5 minutes if I flew directly, but I take a detour (绕道) so that I don't disturb people early in the morning. So it takes about 7 minutes.”
You're probably wondering where Frantisek parks his airplane when he gets to work. After landing on the grassland across the road from the factory, he simply pushes the airplane to a parking lot just outside his workplace. Since the plane is made almost entirely of wood, pushing it is apparently a lot easier than it looks. It occupies about four car parking spaces.
The 175-kilogram airplane is powered by a 3-cylinder (汽缸) engine, has a fuel consumption of 6 litres of petrol per hour and can reach a top speed of 125km/h. Those are pretty impressive advantages for a home-made plane that reportedly cost just 100,000 Czech Koruna (＄4,150) to build.
Hadrava said he first fell in love with airplanes when he was ten years old, after watching a television documentary on old war planes.

文章开篇点题：厌倦了每天14分钟浪费在开车上班的路上，来自捷克共和国的一名灵巧的钳工通过为自己造飞机来节省上班时间。

C
Do you know that there are actually people who have paid for a flight to the moon? In the future, there will be a lot more opportunities to travel to faraway places than now ... perhaps even as far as the moon. As people take adventure further and further away and as planes, trains, cars, and rocket ships become faster, is it safer to have these vehicles controlled by human or by computer?
While many flights by plane are controlled automatically (自动地) by machine, most people today wouldn't let their car drive itself. That's because now the autopilot function on your car can only keep it on the same course you are traveling on. It won't turn the car right or left. It won't stop if an animal jumps in the way. However, cars today can sense when something is too close and warn the driver with flashing lights and the alarm. Many cars also have the GPS (Global Positioning System) that tells drivers which road to take and when to turn. These systems, unlike human drivers, never get lost. In the future, it is easy to believe that your car will be better able to drive itself with the aid of computers that can determine the position of your car and the speed it should travel at.
In addition to computers b eing “smarter” than people regarding the best way to go or knowing how close another vehicle is, computers don't get sick, tired, or angry. This means they won't make the same mistakes that people make when they are not having a good day. While responding with
emotions is a good thing when choosing the best way to deal with a friend's personal problem, it may not be such a good thing when deciding what to do at the wheel of a fast-moving vehicle.
So what are the disadvantages of autopilot systems? Maybe one disadvantage is that a small computer problem could cause a serious accident. It could also be argued that in unexpected situations, computers might not be able to respond properly; some decisions require human emotions. Another problem might be that if everything were controlled by computer or robot, people wouldn't have any jobs.
