课时作业34
Ⅰ.阅读理解
(靖远一中月考)
I was never very neat,while my roommate Kate was extremely organized.Each of her objects had its place,but mine always hid somewhere.She even labeled(贴标签)everything.I always looked for everything.Over time,Kate got neater and I got messier.She would push my dirty clothing over,and I would lay my books on her tidy desk.We both got tired of each other.
War broke out one evening.Kate came into the room.Soon,I heard her screaming,“Take your shoes away!Why under my bed!”Deafened,I saw my shoes flying at me.I jumped to my feet and started yelling.She yelled back louder.
The room was filled with anger.We could not have stayed together for a single minute without a phone call.Kate answered it.From her end of the conversation,I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up,she quickly crawled(爬)under her covers,weeping. Obviously,that was something she should not go through alone.All of a sudden,a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.
Slowly,I collected the pencils,took back the books,made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor,even on her side.I got so into my work that I even didn't noticed Kate had sat up.She was watching,her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief.Then,she reached out her hands to grasp mine.I looked up into her eyes.She smiled at me.“Thanks.”
Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year.We didn't always agree,but we learned the key to living together:giving in, cleaning up and holding on.

Ⅱ.七选五
(湖南师大附中高三摸底考试)
If you are like most international students,you are probably pretty comfortable reading and writing in English.__1__Below are some tips to help you to improve your conversational skills.
Make friends with American students.Many international students end up making friends with a lot of—
or only—other international students.__2__Hanging out with natives not only naturally pushes you to improve your spoken English,but also helps you pick up cultural and social information.
Learn from American friends.Tell your American friends that you are trying to improve your listening and speaking skills,and would like them to help you.If you pronounce a word incorrectly,or misuse an idiom,you ask them to guide you.__3__
Increase your knowledge.__4__If you have been exposed to topics that are likely to be discussed in conversation,you have a much better chance of understanding people when they talk,and of being able to express yourself well.
__5__If you have to explain something to someone,you have a
strong motivation to pronounce everything as well as you can,and find other ways to explain yourself.Finally,this becomes a good habit.Many people have asked me how I learned to speak English fluently,and I owe most of it to my years of being a math teacher in college for years.
A.It is bad for them to do that.
B.You will make progress this way.
C.If possible,become a teacher at your school.
D.It's a win­win opportunity for international students.
E.Keep up with news and watch popular shows and movies.
F.Explaining everything in a different way counts.
G.You may have trouble in listening and speaking in the language, however.
本文是一篇说明文,通常来说国际生在英语阅读和写作方面没什么困难,但在英语听说技能方面存在问题。文章中作者提出了四种提高英语听说技能的建议。
1.G解析:根据横线前句“If you are like most international students,you are probably pretty comfortable reading and writing in English.”告诉我们国际生在英语阅读和写作方面没什么问题。横线后句中提及“对话技能”,可知国际生在英语听说技能方面存在问题。故G项“You may have trouble in listening and speaking in the language, however.”符合上下文串联。
2.A解析:本段中作者建议国际生要和美国学生交朋友。而根据横线前句“Many international students end up making friends with a lot of—or only—other international students.”可知实际上国际生还是和国际生成为了朋友,并没有和美国学生做朋友。这样做对英语学习并无好处。故A项符合上下文串联。
3.B解析:本段建议国际生向美国朋友学习。横线前句“If you pronounce a word incorrectly,or misuse an idiom,you ask them to guide you.”告诉我们如果你在语言运用方面出现了问题,可以请求美国朋友指导你。这样做会让你取得进步。故B项符合上下文串联。
4.E解析:横线后句“If you have been exposed to topics that are likely to be discussed ”可知作者建议国际生要经常接触最新的话题,可以在对话中更好理解对方的意思。E项“Keep up with news and watch popular shows and movies.接触新闻并观看流行的影视剧”与上下文语境相符。
5.C解析:根据文章最后一句I owe most of it to my years of being a math teacher in college for years.可知作者认为在大学里做老师对自己的英语学习有很大的好处。可知作者在本段中建议国际生尽量做老师,因为做老师可以提高英语水平。故C项符合上下文串联。

本文作者介绍了自己的一次善举的经历。作者为自己常去的咖啡店的服务员购买了一些食物和饮料表示感谢。尽管起初有许多担忧,但是最终作者听从了自己的内心。服务员们的笑容吸引作者进入这家咖啡店。
