B.Sorrow.C.Annoyance.D.Disappointment.【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据第三段的“There’sawomanwithlipspursed,givingsomeseriousside-eye—asignyoucanusewhenyourfriendkeepsyouwaitinglongfornoreason.”可推知,\n本段提到的Grebet的这个设计(撅着嘴、斜着眼的女士)传达的是恼怒的情绪。4.WhatwillGrebetprobablydonext?A.Beontourtoadvocatehisdesigns.B.Createanofficialemojiset.C.ResearchintomoreAfricancountries.D.Standardizesomeofhisemojis.【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据第三段的“Someofhisfavoritedesignsareaseriesoffacialexpressionscommonlyusedinhisarea,butnotavailableasstandardizedemojis.”和最后一段的“Thenextstep,Grebetsays,istotryandgetsomeofhisdesignsintotheofficialemojiset...everywhere.”可知,Grebet喜欢的一些设计还无法作为标准表情符号使用,他下一步会尝试把他的一些设计加入到官方表情包中,这些设计将被全球范围内超过20亿人看到,成为标准化的表情符号。【知识拓展】长难句分析分析:Everywherehelooks,heseessignsof地点状语从句Westerninfluence...句子主干fromtheglassskyscrapersandmallsliningthestreetsinhishomecity现在分词作定语,修饰mallstothewayhisfellowsspeakanddress.省略that/inwhich的定语从句,修饰way翻译:目光所及之处,他看到了西方影响的痕迹——从他家乡城市的玻璃摩天大楼和街边鳞次栉比的商场,到他同辈说话和穿衣的方式。 B ThereareplentyofpeopleintheUKforwhomevenbasicEnglishisaproblem.Accordingtothesurvey,726,000peopleinEnglandandWalessaidtheycouldnotspeakEnglishwell,andanother138,000saidtheydidnotspeakitatall.Ling,40,whoarrivedfiveyearsagofromChina,founditdifficulttolearnEnglish.“WhenIcamehere,IwaspregnantandsoIwasathomeforthenextthree\nyears.IttookmelongertolearnasIwasverybusywiththechildren.”EventuallyshewasabletobegintakingclassesandnowspeaksgoodconversationalEnglish.Butevenwithclasses,itcanbealongprocesstopickupthelanguage.Ageisthemostimportantfactorinlanguagestudy,saidMilaVulchanova,professoroflinguistics(语言学)atNorwegianUniversityofScienceandTechnology.“Thereisasensitiveperiodinlanguagelearning,whichisbiologicallydetermined.Sotheyoungertheimmigrants(移民),thebetter.Sincethisdeclineisonlygradual,teenagersareatanadvantageoveradults,”hesaid.ThereareanumberofsystemsforgradingEnglish.Thegovernmentexpectsimmigrantstoreach“ESOLEntry3”or“B1level”inScotland,beforetheycanbegivencitizenship.Itisequaltobeingabletoholdaconfidentconversationanditmighttake360hoursofstudytoachieve.GeorgeOsborne,theUKchancellor(财政大臣),saidinJunethatbenefitclaimants(申请救济金者)whodon’tspeakEnglishwillhavetheirbenefitscutiftheyfailtoattendlanguagecourses.HuanJapes,deputychiefexecutiveofEnglishUK,atradebodyforlanguagecolleges,saiditneeded360hours—120hoursforeachofthreestages—togettotheresultthegovernmentexpectedbenefitclaimantstoreach.“Using120hours(foreachstageofEnglishfluency)isarathertraditionalapproachtocoursebooklearning,”saidDrElaineBoyd,headofEnglishlanguageatTrinityCollegeLondon.“Ifsomeoneisreallyhighlymotivated,theycanlearnreallyquickly.It’scommonforchildrenundertheageof11tobefluentinaboutsixmonths.”【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了在英国,许多移民不能说一口流利的英语这一现状,作者借助专家们的观点告诉我们怎样学好英语,练就一口流利的英语。5.Thefirstparagraphservesasa(n)________. A.introductionB.discussionC.explanationD.conclusion【解析】选A。推理判断题。通读本段可知,本段第一句说“在英国有很多人,即使是基础英语都成问题”,接着根据调查可知,\n在英格兰和威尔士有很多人英语说得不好甚至根本不会说英语。因此推知,这是为了引出下文的许多移民不会说英语的现状,告诉我们如何学好英语,故选A。6.WhatdoesMilaVulchanovamainlystress?A.Theimportanceofkeyteachingways.B.ThenecessityofworkinghardatEnglish.C.TheadvantagesoflearningEnglish.D.TheimportanceofstartinglearningEnglishatanearlyage.【解析】选D。推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Thereisasensitiveperiodinlanguagelearning”和“Sotheyoungertheimmigrants,thebetter.Sincethisdeclineisonlygradual,teenagersareatanadvantageoveradults”可知,MilaVulchanova认为对于移民来说,学英语越早越好,年龄小是优势。因此可推知,他在强调早学英语的重要性,故选D。7.TheUKgovernmenthopesthatbenefitclaimants______.

before...,“没过多久就……”,固定句型,此处long无需使用比较级形式。故将longer改为long。2.【解析】第三句去掉up。考查固定搭配。句意:看到那里的美景,杰克迫不及待地拍了下来。takephotos“拍照”,固定搭配。故去掉up。3.【解析】第三句wonderfully→wonderful。考查形容词。句意同上。此处需用形容词作定语修饰名词scenery。故将wonderfully改为wonderful。\n4.【解析】第四句when→that。考查强调句型。句意:就在那时,他意识到他的照相机不见了。分析句子结构可知,本句使用了强调句型:Itwas+被强调部分+that/who(强调部分指人)+其他,此处被强调部分是时间状语then,应用that。故将when改为that。5.【解析】第五句and→but。考查连词。句意:他到处找,但没有找到。根据“他到处找”和“没有找到”可知,此处前后表示转折关系,所以需用转折连词but。故将and改为but。6.【解析】第六句strikes→struck。考查时态。句意:我突然想到他一定是把它落在出租车上了。根据文章第一句时间状语yesterday可知,本文描述的是过去发生的事情,所以本句的谓语动词需用一般过去时。故将strikes改为struck。7.【解析】第七句在touch后加with。考查固定短语。句意:因此,我立即与出租车公司取得了联系。getintouchwith...“与……取得联系”,固定短语。故在touch后加with。8.【解析】第八句a→an。考查冠词。句意:半小时后,相机被送回。halfanhour半小时,固定搭配,hour的发音以元音音素开头。故将a改为an。9.【解析】第八句sending→sent。考查时态和语态。句意同上。因为相机是被送回,所以本句谓语动词需用一般过去时的被动语态:wasdone。故将sending改为sent。10.【解析】第九句All→Both。考查代词。句意:我们俩都很感激那个司机。根据文章第一句可知,此处讲述的是作者和Jack两个人的故事,所以此处需用不定代词both。故将All改为Both。Ⅳ.书面表达
