10.________篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。喝下午茶是最为典型的英式传统。浓郁的茶香配上精致、美味的各色茶点让品饮下午茶成为了一件很惬意的事情。本文介绍了下午茶的起源、历史、发展、现状及受欢迎程度。1．with考查介词。此处为“with＋名词＋过去分词”的复合结构用法，在句中作状语。2．that考查强调句型。分析句子结构可知，此处为强调句型，“theinventionofafternoontea”是被强调部分，故填that。3．a考查冠词。apopularhobby“一个受欢迎的业余爱好”，此处用不定冠词a表示泛指。4．comfortably考查词性转换。空处在句中修饰“喝茶”这一动作，充当状语成分，应该用副词。5．wasdesigned考查动词的时态和语态。该空在定语从句中充当谓语，design与作主语的关系词之间是被动关系，且由“originally”“datesbacktothe1840s”可知应用一般过去时的被动语态。6．fashionable考查词性转换。修饰其后的名词短语social8\noccasion，作定语，用形容词。7．popularity考查词性转换。该空充当介词in的宾语，所以用名词。8．Although/While/Though考查连词。分析句意可知，句子中存在让步的逻辑关系，所以应用连词Although，While或Though来引导让步状语从句。9．toenjoy考查非谓语动词。此处为动词不定式在句中充当目的状语。10．beingasked考查非谓语动词。动词avoid后需接动名词作宾语，并且ask和you之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，故用动名词的被动式beingasked。***完形填空。Oneday，whilewewerevisitingmyparentsonafarminlatesummer，Dadmentionedhe'dalwayswantedaCrimsonKingMapleTreefortheyard.Momagreedthatthetreeswere__1__.Likemanyotherparents，minewerehardto__2__for，soIfiguredthiswasagreatopportunitytogetthemsomethingthey'd__3__.Ialsothoughttwowouldbeevenbetter.Icheckedthe__4__atworkanddecideditwasabitmorethanIcould__5__—butallofmysiblings(兄弟姊妹)agreedtogivesomemoneytobuythetrees.InnorthernOhio，youdon'tplantmapletreesatChristmas，sowedecidedto__6__MomandDadwithaspecialChristmasinOctoberbeforetheground__7__.Weaskedmyauntifshe'dhelpuswiththe“__8__”，andshecalledmyparents__9__tosayshewascomingforaSundayvisit.Thenmysistersandsistersinlawwentinto__10__，planningabigholidayturkeydinner.Onthe__11__Sunday，weallmetatmyhouseand__12__thetreesintoatruck.I__13__asSantaClaus.Whenwearrivedatmyparents'house，Dadwas__14__somethingwaswrongfirst.HeandMomwereamazedwhenwetoldthem__15__wewerethere.WhenChristmas__16__，ofcourse，wecouldn'tgotoourparents'houseemptyhanded，soMomandDadgot__17__presentsthatyear.Almosthalfacenturylater，I__18__drivebytheoldfarmandsmilewhenIseethosebig，handsome__19__andremembergivingaspecial__20__tospecialpeopleatChristmasinOctober.1．A.distinctive

上文提及父亲想要在庭院种植一棵枫树，下文提及“thosebig,handsome”，故此处应是母亲也欣然同意，认为枫树很漂亮(pretty)。distinctive“与众不同的”；fragrant“芳香的”。2．A 根据上文的“Likemanyotherparents,minewerehardto”，下文的“soIfiguredthiswasagreatopportunitytogetthemsomething”以及接下来介绍的作者兄弟姊妹几人为父母买礼物的内容可知，此处指作者觉得给父母买东西是很难的，故选shop“购物”。3．B 根据上文的“Dadmentionedhe'dalwayswantedaCrimsonKingMapleTreefortheyard...”及下文介绍的为父母买礼物的内容可知，此处指作者认为这是一个给父母买他们欣赏的东西的好机会。deserve“值得，应得”；appreciate“感激，欣赏”；advertise“为……做广告”；imagine“想象”。4．C 根据下文的“butallofmysiblings(兄弟姊妹)agreedtogivesomemoneytobuythetrees”可知，作者在上班时查看了一下枫树的价格(price)，认为它的价格比自己能支付得起(afford)的还要高一点。express“快递”。5．A 参见上题解析。6．C 从下文作者联合其姑姑来帮忙实施这个计划以及计划具体实施的内容可知，作者他们想给父母一个惊喜(surprise)。assist“帮助，协助”。7．B 根据上下文语境及句中的“InnorthernOhio,youdon'tplantmapletreesatChristmas”“aspecialChristmasinOctoberbeforetheground”可知，作者他们决定在土地上冻之前让父母度过一个特别的圣诞节。freeze“结冰”符合语境。soften“变软，软化”。8．A 根据上下文语境可知，作者询问姑姑是否可以帮忙实施这个“骗局(trick)”。9．A 根据上下文语境可知，作者的姑姑提前(inadvance)给作者的父母打电话说她会在周日来拜访。intime“及时”；byaccident“意外地”；onpurpose“故意地”。10．B 根据下文的“planningabigholidayturkeydinner”可知，随后，作者的姊妹和嫂子(或弟媳)行动起来。gointoaction“行动起来”符合语境。gointoservice“投入使用”；gointoeffect“生效”；gointoproduction“投产”。11．D 根据语境可知，作者和亲人们在选定的(chosen)那个周日聚到自己家里。regular“惯常的，有规律的”。12．B 根据下文的“thetreesintoa8\ntruck”可知，作者他们把树装上(loaded)卡车。transport“运输，运送”；transplant“移植”。13．A 根据下文的“asSantaClaus”可知，作者把自己装扮(dressedup)成圣诞老人。passsb./sth.offas“把……冒充为……”；lookonsb./sth.as“把……当做……”；startoutas“以……开始，起初是……”。14．D 根据上下文语境及句中的“somethingwaswrongfirst”可知，作者的父亲一开始坚信哪里出了问题。convinced“确信，坚信”符合语境。15．C 根据语境可知，当我们告诉他们我们为什么(why)会在那里的时候，父母感到很吃惊。16．A 根据下文的内容可知，当又到圣诞节时，作者他们去探望父母。comearound“再次出现，再度发生”；dropout“退出”；turnup“出现”；drawin“(白天变得)渐短”。17．C 根据上文的“InnorthernOhio,youdon'tplantmapletreesatChristmassowedecidedto...withaspecialChristmasinOctober”可知，作者他们在十月份的时候已经为父母送上了一份特别的圣诞节礼物，而在真正的圣诞节到来的时候，他们又不能空手去拜访自己的父母，故作者的父母那年是收到了双份的(double)圣诞节礼物。additional“额外的”。18．D 根据上下文语境可知，时隔几乎半个世纪之后，当作者看到那些高大、漂亮的枫树(trees)时依然(still)会面带微笑地驶过那个农场。19．B 参见上题解析。20．B 作者看着那些枫树时，会想起自己多年前在特别的圣诞节送给父母特别的礼物(gift)。上文中的“presentsthatyear”亦是关键提示。donation“捐赠物”；greeting“问候”。***短文改错。NowadaysmoreandmorepeoplewouldrathertolookforajobontheInternetthaninthenewspapersorinthejobmarket.Therearemanyreasonsformypreference,oneofthatisthatajobhuntercanfindajobconveniently.Heneedn'tbothertogetrecommendationsfromrelativeorfriends,orregistrationatanemploymentexchange.Besides,ajobhuntercangetajobbysimplebrowsingamongtheadvertisementsonlineandsendingresumesbye－mail.Finally,thesuccessrateisveryhigh.Butevenifonefailstofindajob,itcansparehimtheembarrassmentofrefused.Asforme,IbelievethatastheincreasingpopularityoftheInternet,thisnewwaywouldwinfavoramongmoreandmorejoblesspeopleandlaidoffworkers.It'sduetoitsconvenience,efficientandhighsuccessrate.8\n答案：NowadaysmoreandmorepeoplewouldratherlookforajobontheInternetthaninthenewspapersorinthejobmarket.Therearemanyreasonsforpreference,oneofisthatajobhuntercanfindajobconveniently.Heneedn'tbothertogetrecommendationsfromorfriends,orregistrationatanemploymentexchange.Besides,ajobhuntercangetajobbybrowsingamongtheadvertisementsonlineandsendingresumesbye－mail.Finally,thesuccessrateisveryhigh.evenifonefailstofindajob,itcansparehimtheembarrassmentofrefused.Asforme,IbelievethattheincreasingpopularityoftheInternet,thisnewwaywinfavoramongmoreandmorejoblesspeopleandlaidoffworkers.It'sduetoitsconvenience,andhighsuccessrate.难项分析：第一处：去掉rather后的to考查固定用法。wouldratherdosth.为固定用法，意为“宁愿做某事”，故去掉to。第五处：simple→simply考查副词。应用副词修饰browsing这一动词。第七处：refused前加being考查非谓语动词。此处作介词of的宾语，应用动名词，又因为refuse与其逻辑主语one之间为被动关系，故用动名词的被动式。***8
