(2012·宁夏三市模拟)When editors considered the possible demand for “Autobiography (自传) of Mark Twain”，they kept their expectations within 7,500 copies.However，the book reached the No.7 on The Ne w York Times’ best­seller list published on Nov.28.On Friday afternoon it was No.4 on the best-seller list.
It is a hit across the country，landing on best-seller lists and going back to press six times，for a total of 275,000 so far.The publisher cannot print copies quickly enough，leaving some bookstores and online retailers (零售商) hopeless without copies just as the holiday shopping season begins.“It’s frustrating，” said Rona，the owner of the BookMark.“In this age of instant books，why does it take so long to reprint it？” Kris，an owner of a bookstore said：“It was sold right out.There’s a lasting love affair with Mark Twain, especially around here.Anybody within a stone’s throw of the Mississippi River has a Twain attachment.” Mr.Ingram said：“I’m sure every bookseller in the world is saying，‘I_should_have_been_sharper.I should have thought this one through more carefully.’” Earlier this week，the book was sold out at a handful of bookstores.Some booksellers said they had been told，much to their disappointment，that they would not receive reorders until mid-December or even January.
Many booksellers said the book has a holiday-gift quality，which has a unique story behind its publication.Twain ordered that the book be published a century after his death.It is more political than his previous works，being frank，funny，angry and full of memories from his childhood.It’s literary，but not too tough to read.The content，itself，is very readable.It can be easily picked up and read without the worry of continuity (连贯性)．“I’ve only had a chance to look at it，but from what I did see，it looked like the kind of book you would never finish，and you would never even think of reading from the beginning to the end，”said Mr.Ingram of Prairie Lights.“It’s the kind of book you would read a little bit every day of your life.”
“He was a wonderful showman.And he was cool.Let’s face it.That’s part of it.”Mr.Kettmann said.“We feel America’s kind of excited about a literary icon，”said Ms.Dahne.“There’s something very sweet about the fact that people are interested in a 736-page scholarly book about Mark Twain.”
1．We can find this article in a________.
A．newspaper B．brochure
C．novel D．guidebook
2．The underlined words “I should have been sharper” here means that booksellers________.
A．should raise the price of the book
B．were not smart enough to notice the situation
C．should print more copies of the book
D．were quite clear about the situation
3．“Autobiography of Mark Twain” is a book that________.
A．will be easily put down once read
B．is hard for us to understand
C．is only suitable to be a holiday gift
D．should be read in small bits
4．The article intends to tell us________.
A．Americans like reading books very much
B．Mark Twain’s autobiography is well received
C．many booksellers are crazy about Mark Twain
D．the business of American bookstores is good
B
(2012·山西省三市联考)The iPhone，the iPad，the iPod：each of
Apple’s products sounds cool and has become a fad (一时的风尚)．Apple
has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i”－and many other
brands are following suit.The BBC’s iPlayer－which allows Web users to
watch TV programs on the Internet－adopted the title in 2008.A lovely bear
－popular in the US and UK－that plays music and video is called
“iTeddy”．A slimmed-down version of London’s Independent newspaper
was launched last week under the name “i”．
In general，single-letter prefixes (前缀) have been popular since the 1990s，when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use.
Most “i”products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of Independent’s“i”，it’s no surprise that they’ve selected this fashionable name.
But it’s hard to see what’s so special about the letter “i”．Why not use “a”，“b”，or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne，head of the Language Center at King’s College，London，“i” works because its meaning has become ambiguous.When Apple uses “i”，no one knows whether it means Internet，information，individual or interactive，Thorne told BBC Magazines.“Even when Apple created the iPod，it seems it didn’t have one clear definition，” he says.
“However，thanks to Apple，the term is now associated with portability (轻便) ，” adds Thorne.
Clearly the letter “i”also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual.Each person believes they have their own needs，and we love personalized products for this reason.
Along with “Google” and “blog”，readers of BBC Magazines voted “i” as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade.
But as history shows，people grow tired of fads.From the 1900s to 1990s，products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was associated with all things advanced and modern.However，as we entered the new century，the trend inevitably disappeared.
5．We can infer that the Independent’s“i” is aimed at________.
A．young readers B．old readers
C．fashionable women D．engineers
6．The underlined word “ambiguous” means “________”．
A．popular B．uncertain
C．definite D．unique
7．Nowadays，the “i” term often reminds people of the products which are________.
A．portable
B．environmentally friendly
C．advanced
D．recyclable
8．The writer suggests that________.
A．“i” products are often of a high quality
B．the popularity of “i” products may not last long
C．the letter “b” replaces letter “i” to name the products
D．iTeddy is a live bear

Unit 5Canada—“The True North”
Ⅰ.单项填空
1．【解析】选D。

考查交际用语。

Never mind.意为“不要紧，没关系”。

2．【解析】选C。

考查主语从句。

本句中有两个从句，第一个是that引导的宾语从句，that引导的宾语从句中又包含一个主语从句。

在这个主语从句中缺少主语，且主语又被定语从句修饰需表示“人们所说的和所做的”含义，故选择C项。

3．【解析】选C。

第一个空表示“首次提到”，且根据“8”的发音可确定用“an”，第二个空中has/have a gift for是固定短语，意为“有……天赋”。

4．【解析】选C。

句意为：在大街上挂衣服的景象在城市里的许多地方很常见。

look 表情，样子；sign迹象；sight景象；appearance外表。

5．【解析】选A。

考查动词。

句意为：你的房子总是那么整洁——有三个孩子(在家里乱)，你是怎么做到(保持房子整洁)的呢？manage意为“能解决(问题)，应付(困难局面等)”，符合语意。

B项意为“服务”；C项意为“(使)适应”；D项意为“建造”。

6．【解析】选A。

leave sb.a(n)．..impression“给某人留下……印象”；what impresses sb.most“给某人印象最深的是……”。

7．【解析】选B。

settle down“平静下来，专心于”。

句意为：街上有那么多的交通噪音，我不能定下心来搞研究。

put down“放下，写下”；get down“使沮丧”；set down“记下，写下”。

8．【解析】选B。

句意为：此表格必须由你本人签字。

本题考查短语辨析。

A项“而不是”；B项“除了”；C项“超出，不仅仅”；D项“胜于”。

设空处意为“除了(你自己)”，故答案为B。

9．【解析】选A。

句意为：我们办公室有个惯例，当某个人过生日的时候，他们带来蛋糕与我们大家一起分享。

本题考查名词辨析。

tradition传统，惯例；balance平衡；concern 关心；relationship关系。

A项符合语境。

10．【解析】选D。

考查连词。

句意为：你五分钟就可以走到那儿的，可你还打的去，真是太傻了。

根据语意可知此处用when引导状语从句，意为”既然，考虑到”。

though意为“尽管，虽然”；as long as意为“只要”；so that意为“为了”，都不符合题意。

11．【解析】选D。

考查介词。

within the reach of...……能得到/到达/拿到等。

beyond/out of the reach of...……得不到/够不到/拿不到等。

12．【解析】选C。

句意为：现代科学对于吸烟能导致多种疾病已经给出了明确的证据。

这是一个主从复合句，evidence后的从句是evidence的同位语，对evidence起解释说明的作用，且该从句语意完整，故用that引导同位语从句。

而what，which，where均在从句中充当一定的句子成分。

13．【解析】选B。

考查同位语从句。

句意为：是否创立一个不同的社会福利体系这个问题将会出现。

这是一个分隔式的同位语从句，根据语意可知用whether来引导此同位语从句，表示“是否”。

if一般不引导同位语从句，故排除D项。

14．【解析】选B。

由语境可知，对方把Jack当成了其孪生兄弟Peter，显然mix up是发生在不久的刚才，应该用一般过去时。

15．【解析】选C。

a distance of...一段……的距离；a clear day泛指天气晴朗的一天。

Ⅱ.阅读理解

报》畅销书榜单第七名。

1．【解析】选A 。

文章出处题。

从全文可知，这是一篇介绍《马克·吐温自传》畅销的新闻报道，所以文章最有可能来自于报纸，答案选A 项。

2．【解析】选B 。

句意理解题。

语意表示“我本该眼光更敏锐些”，再结合语境可知该句隐含着书商对形势估计不足，从而产生一种惋惜和自责的情绪，所以句意同B 项较一致。

3．【解析】选D 。

事实细节题。

从文章第三段最后一句我们不难发现《马克·吐温自传》需要读者仔细阅读，点滴阅读，所以答案选D 项。

故选A 项。

推理判断题。

根据最后一段第一句But as history shows ，people grow tired of fads.以及后面的例子可推知作者认为带有i-前缀的产品的盛行也维持不了太长的时间。
