一、单选题
1、Excellent novels are those which ____ national and cultural barriers.
A transcend
B traverse
C surpress
D surpass
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:本题考查动词辨析。根据句意“优秀的小说是会跨越民族和文化的障碍的。”,A选项“transcend”意为“穿越,超越”,符合题意,表示优秀的小说能够超越民族和文化的障碍。B选项“traverse”意为“横越,穿越”,一般指穿过沙漠、河流等,与题意不符。C选项“suppress”意为“抑制”,与题意不符。D选项“surpass”意为“优于,超过”,虽然与“优秀的小说”有一定的关联,但在此处与“民族和文化的障碍”搭配不够恰当。因此,正确答案为A。
2、As Alice believed him to be a man of integrity, she refused to consider the possibility that his statement was______.
A irrelevant
B facetious
C fictitious
D illogical
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:
这道题目考查了形容词的辨析。根据题干中的句子结构和语境,我们可以进行如下分析:
1. 句子中使用了原因状语从句“As Alice believed him to be a man of integrity”,说明Alice认为他是一个正直的人。
2. 接着句子中出现了“she refused to consider the possibility that his statement was ______”,表示Alice拒绝考虑他的言论可能是某种情况。
3. 根据因果关系,Alice相信他是正直的,所以她认为他的言论不应该是什么负面的或不真实的情况。
现在我们来分析每个选项:
A. irrelevant(不相关的) - 这个选项与Alice对他的正直的评价没有直接关系,排除。
B. facetious(爱开玩笑的) - 虽然这个选项与言论有关,但它更偏向于在不适合的场合开玩笑,与正直的人的形象不符,排除。
C. fictitious(虚构的,编造的) - 这个选项与Alice对他的正直的评价形成了对比。如果他的言论是虚构的,那么这与她对他的正直的看法相矛盾。因此,这个选项是合理的。
D. illogical(不合逻辑的) - 这个选项虽然与逻辑有关,但它更多地是指逻辑上的不合理,而不是言论的真实性。排除。
综上所述,正确答案是C. fictitious(虚构的,编造的)。
3、The girls are afraid that being friendly to strangers could be misinterpreted by their ______ neighbours.
A ever-present
B ever-presented
C ever-presenting
D ever-presently
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:这道题目考查了形容词的用法。根据题目中的语境,女孩们担心对陌生人的友善会被邻居误会,所以需要一个形容词来描述邻居的存在状态。选项A "ever-present" 意为“无处不在的”,符合题意,表示邻居们一直存在,随时可能出现。而选项B "ever-presented" 的形式不正确,选项C "ever-presenting" 也不符合题意,选项D "ever-presently" 的形式也不正确。因此,正确答案是A。
4、His presentation will show you ____ can be used in other contexts.
A that you have observed
B that how you have observed
C how that you have observed
D how what you have observed
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:本题考查宾语从句。句子中,主语His presentation(他的发言)将通过宾语从句展示如何使用观察的内容,而宾语从句中的主语是what you have observed(你所观察到的),并且需要用how引导宾语从句,表示“如何被用于其他语境”。因此,正确选项为D,即“how what you have observed can be used in other contexts”。其他选项语法错误或者意思不完整,不符合句意。
5、Many students start each term with an award check, but by the time books are bought, food is paid for, and a bit of social life ______, it looks rather emaciated.
A lives
B lived
C was lived
D has lived
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:本题考查的是省略句。在题目中,三个句子books are bought; food is paid for; and a bit of social life ( is) lived 是并列结构,因此最后如果不省略的话,根据前面两个句子也应该为is lived。但在实际使用中,为了简洁明了,往往省略与前面相同的部分,所以这里应该使用lived。因此,正确选项为B。
6、Which of the following is correct in its use of punctuation?
A The teacher asked, “Who said, ‘Give me liberty or give me death’?”
B The teacher asked, “Who said, ‘Give me liberty or give me death?’”
C The teacher asked, “Who said ‘Give me liberty or give me death’”?
D The teacher asked, “Who said ‘Give me liberty or give me death’?”
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:在英文中,引用语通常使用双引号标出,而引用语中的引用语则使用单引号。在A和B选项中,who said 后边是一句话,因此不需要用逗号隔开,所以A和B选项都是错误的。在C选项中,引语是疑问句,但问号放在了双引号外,这是不正确的。正确的用法是将问号放在双引号内,因此D选项是正确的。
7、The pair of English phonemes ______ differ in the place of articulation.
A /ʃ/ and /ʒ/
B /θ/ and /ð/
C /d/ and /z/
D /m/ and /n/
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:这道题考察的是发音部位不同的英语音素对。A项中的/ʃ/和/ʒ/都是硬颚音,发音部位相同;B项中的/θ/和/ð/都是齿音,发音部位相同;C项中的/d/和/z/都是齿龈音,发音部位相同。而D项中的/m/是双唇音,/n/是齿龈鼻音,发音部位不同。因此,正确答案是D。
8、There are ______ consonant clusters in the sentence “Brian, I appreciate beautiful scarf you brought me.”
A two
B tree
C four
D five
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:在句子“Brian, I appreciate beautiful scarf you brought me.”中,我们需要找出所有的辅音连缀。辅音连缀是指在同一意群内,如果有两个或两个以上的辅音音素结合在一起。在这个句子中,我们可以找到以下辅音连缀:
* Brian: br-
* I: 无辅音连缀
* appreciate: pr-,ch-
* beautiful: bl-,fl-
* scarf: sc-,rf-
* you: 无辅音连缀
* brought: br-,ch-,t-
* me: 无辅音连缀
加起来一共有五个辅音连缀,即br-,pr-,ch-,bl-,fl-,sc-,rf-和br-,ch-,t-。因此,正确答案为D选项,即“five”。
9、When saying “It’s noisy outside” to get someone to close the window, the speaker intends to perform a(n) ______.
A direct speech act
B locutionary act
C indirect speech act
D perlocutionary act
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:这道题考察的是言语行为理论,言语行为理论包括言内行为、言外行为和言后行为。言内行为指的是说出词语、短语和分句的行为,它是通过句法、词汇和音位来表达字面意义的行为。言外行为则是表达说话者的意图的行为,是在说某些话时所实施的行为。言后行为则是通过某些话所实施的行为,或讲某些话所导致的行为,它是话语所产生的后果或所引起的变化,是通过讲某些话所完成的行为。在这个问题中,“It's noisy outside”这句话本身并没有直接命令或请求某人关闭窗户,而是间接地通过表达一种情况来暗示对方应该关闭窗户。因此,这是一个间接言语行为,答案选C。
10、That a Japanese child adopted at birth by an American couple will grow up speaking English indicates ______ of human language.
A duality
B cultural transmission
C arbitrariness
D cognitive creativity
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:这个题目考察的是对语言本质特征的理解。一个日本婴儿被美国夫妇收养,长大后说英语,这一现象表明了语言的文化传递性。文化传习性指的是语言要通过教学和学习才能获得,这与题目中描述的情况相符。其他选项如duality(二重性)、arbitrariness(任意性)和cognitive creativity(创造性)都不符合题目的描述。因此,正确答案是B,即文化传习性。
11、Fluent and appropriate language use requires knowledge of ______ and this suggests that we should teach lexical chunks rather than single words.
A denotation
B connotation
C morphology
D collocation
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:题目中明确提到“Fluent and appropriate language use requires knowledge of ______ and this suggests that we should teach lexical chunks rather than single words.”,意思是“流利且恰当的语言使用需要了解某些知识,这表明我们应该教授词块而不是单个单词”。根据这个描述,我们需要找到与“语言使用”和“词块”相关的选项。
选项A "denotation" 指的是词汇的基本意义或字面意义,与“语言使用”和“词块”的关系不明显。
选项B "connotation" 指的是词汇的隐含意义或附加意义,虽然与语言使用有关,但与“词块”的概念不符。
选项C "morphology" 指的是词汇的形态学,即词汇的形式和结构,虽然与语言使用有关,但与“词块”的概念也不完全匹配。
选项D "collocation" 指的是词汇的搭配,即某些词汇经常一起使用,形成固定的短语或表达。这与“语言使用”和“词块”的概念非常吻合,因为词块正是由多个词汇组成的固定搭配。
因此,正确答案是D "collocation",即“词的搭配”。
12、 “Underlining all the past form verbs in the dialogue” is a typical exercise focusing on ______.
A use
B form
C meaning
D function
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:题目中提到的是“标出对话中所有的过去式”,而过去式是语法中的一个重要部分,因此这道题目考查的是语法教学。选项B中的“form”表示形式或形态,符合题意。其他选项如A中的“use”表示使用,C中的“meaning”表示意义,D中的“function”表示功能,都与题目所考查的内容不符。因此,正确答案为B。
13、Which of the following activities may be more appropriate to help students practice a new structure immediately after presentation in class?
A Role play.
B Group discussion.
C Pattern drill.
D Written homework.
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:本题考查的是语法教学。在学习了新的语法结构后,学生需要立即进行练习以巩固所学。在这四个选项中,C选项“Pattern drill”(句型练习)是最适合立即进行练习的活动。通过句型练习,学生可以在短时间内反复练习新的语法结构,从而加深理解和记忆。其他选项如A的“Role play”(角色扮演)、B的“Group discussion”(小组讨论)和D的“Written homework”(书写作业)虽然也可以用于练习语法,但不如句型练习来得直接和高效。因此,正确答案是C。
14、When teaching students how to give appropriate responses to a congratulation or an apology, the teacher is probably teaching at______.
A lexical level
B sentence level
C grammatical level
D discourse level
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:本题考查的是语言教学的层次。当教学生如何对祝贺或道歉进行合适的回应时,老师通常是在教授话语层次的教学,即语篇层次。祝贺和道歉属于交流,是语言功能的运用,通过话语层次教学,可以帮助学生经历真实的语境,提高语言运用的准确性。因此,正确选项为D,即“话语层次”。选项A“词汇层次”、选项B“句式层次”和选项C“语法层次”都不符合题意。
15、Which of the following activities can help develop the skill of listening for gist?
A Listen and find out where Jim lives.
B Listen and decide on the best title for the passage.
C Listen and underline the words the speaker stresses.
D Listen to pairs of words and tell if they are the same.
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:题目要求选择可以帮助提高听取中心大意技巧的活动。A选项涉及找出Jim的住址,这是细节问题,与中心大意无关;C选项要求听并画出说话者强调的单词,虽然涉及听力,但更侧重于细节;D选项要求听单词并分辨是否相同,也是细节问题。只有B选项要求听并决定文章的标题,这需要对文章的大意有整体的理解。因此,B选项最符合题意,能帮助提高听取中心大意的技巧。
16、When an EFL teacher asks his student “How do you know that the author liked the place since he did not tell us explicitly?”, he/she is helping students to reach _______ comprehension.
A literal
B appreciative
C inferential
D evaluative
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:
本题考查阅读教学。根据题干中的信息“How do you know that the author liked the place since he did not tell us explicitly?”,可以推断出老师正在帮助学生进行推断阅读。推断阅读是指读者根据文本中的线索和上下文信息,推断出作者没有明确表达出来的意思。因此,正确答案为C,即“inferential”(推断的)。选项A“literal”(字面的)表示对文本中字面的、表面的意思的理解,与题干不符;选项B“appreciative”(欣赏的)表示对文本中作者的情感和态度的理解,与题干也不符;选项D“evaluative”(评价的)表示对文本中作者的观点和态度的评价,与题干也不符。因此,正确答案为C。
17、Which of the following types of questions are mostly used for checking literal comprehension of the text?
A Display questions.
B Rhetorical questions.
C Evaluation questions.
D Referential questions.
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:此题考查的是课堂提问的形式。在检查对文章字面的理解时,常用的问题类型是展示性问题,即A选项。展示性问题通常用于检测学生是否理解文章的字面意思,因此A选项是正确的。B选项“反问”不合题意,因为它不是用来检查字面理解的。C选项“评价性问题”和D选项“参考性问题”也不符合题意,因为它们更多地涉及到对文章观点或内容的评价和参考,而不是对字面意思的理解。因此,正确答案是A选项。
18、Which of the following is a typical feature of informal writing?
A A well-organized structure is preferred.
B Short and incomplete sentences are common.
C Technical terms and definitions are required.
D A wide range of vocabulary and structural patterns are used.
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:非正式写作通常更加随意、轻松,不需要严格的语法结构和正式的语言风格。因此,短句和不完整的句子在非正式写作中更为常见。选项B“Short and incomplete sentences are common”符合非正式写作的特点。而选项A“A well-organized structure is preferred”是正式写作的特点,选项C“Technical terms and definitions are required”同样需要正式的语言风格,选项D“A wide range of vocabulary and structural patterns are used”虽然可能用于正式写作,但在非正式写作中也可能使用,但不如短句和不完整句子那么典型。因此,正确答案是B。
19、Peer-editing during class is an important step of the _______ approach to teaching writing.
A genre-based
B content-based
C process-oriented
D product-oriented
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:本题考查的是写作教学的模式。根据题目描述,课堂上同桌互改的活动是写作教学中的一个重要步骤。在写作教学中,主要有重结果的写作、重内容的写作和重过程的写作三种模式。重过程的写作注重写作过程中的修改、校对和讨论,同桌互改正是这一过程中的重要环节。因此,正确选项为C,即“process-oriented(重过程的)”。其他选项如A的“genre-based(体裁的)”和B的“content-based(内容的)”都不符合题目描述的情境,而D的“product-oriented(重结果的)”虽然与重过程的写作有所区别,但并不直接涉及到写作过程中的修改和讨论环节。因此,正确答案为C。
20、 Portfolios, daily reports and speech delivering are typical means of ______ .
A norm-referenced test
B criterion-referenced test
C summative assessment
D formative assessment
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:题目中提到的“Portfolios, daily reports and speech delivering”都是在学习过程中进行的日常活动,它们的主要目的是提供反馈,帮助学生改进学习。这种评价方式是形成性评价,它关注学生的学习过程,而不仅仅是结果。因此,正确答案是D,即形成性评价。选项A、B和C分别代表常模参照评价、标准参照评价和终结性评价,它们与题干描述的活动不符。
When the Viaduct de Millau opened in the south of France in 2004, this tallest bridge in the world won worldwide accolades. German newspapers described how it “floated above the clouds” with “elegance and lightness” and “breathtaking beauty”. In France, papers praised the “immense” “concrete giant.” Was it mere coincidence that the Germans saw beauty where the French saw heft and power? Lera Borodisky thinks not.
In a series of clever experiments guided by pointed questions, Boroditsky is amassing evidence that, yes, language shapes thought. The effect is powerful enough, she says, that “the private mental lives of speakers of different languages may differ dramatically,” not only when they are thinking in order to speak, “but in all manner of cognitive tasks,” including basic sensory perception. “Even a small fluke of grammar”—the gender of nouns—“can have an effect on how people think about things in the world,” she says.
As in that bridge, in German, the noun for bridge, Brucke, is feminine. In French, pont is masculine. German speakers saw prototypically female features; French speakers, masculine ones. Similarly, Germans describe keys (Schlussel) with words such as hard, heavy, jagged, and metal, while to Spaniards keys (llaves) are golden, intricate, little, and lovely. Guess which language construes key as masculine and which as feminine? Grammatical gender also shapes how we construe abstractions. In 85 percent of artistic depictions of death and victory, for instance, the idea is represented by a man if the noun is masculine and a woman if it is feminine, says Boroditsky. Germans tend to paint death as male, and Russians tend to paint it as female.
Language even shapes what we see. People have a better memory for colors if different shades have distinct names—not English’s light blue and dark blue, for instance, but Russian’s goluboy and sinly. Skeptics of the language-shapes-thought claim have argued that that’s a trivial finding, showing only that people remember what they saw in both a visual form and a verbal one, but not proving that they actually see the hues differently. In an ingenious experiment, however, Boroditsky and colleagues showed volunteers three color swatches and asked them which of the bottom two was the same as the top one. Native Russian speakers were faster than English speakers when the colors had distinct names, suggesting that having a name for something allows you to perceive it more sharply. Similarly, Korean uses one word for “in” when one object is in another snugly, and a different one when an object is in something loosely. Sure enough, Korean adults are better than English speakers at distinguishing tight fit from loose fit.
Science has only scratched the surface of how language affects thought. In Russian, verb forms indicate whether the action was completed or not—as in “she ate (and finished) the pizza.” In Turkish, verbs indicate whether the action was observed or merely rumored. Boroditsky would love to run an experiment testing whether native Russian speakers are better than others at noticing if an action is completed, and if Turks have a heightened sensitivity to fact versus hearsay. Similarly, while English says “she broke the bowl” even if it smashed accidentally, Spanish and Japanese describe the same event more like “the bowl broke itself.” “When we show people video of the same event,” says Boroditsky, “English speakers remember who was to blame even in an accident, but Spanish and Japanese speakers remember it less well than they do intentional actions. It raises questions about whether language affects even something as basic as how we construct our ideas of causality.”
21、Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “accolades” in PARAGRAPH ONE?
A Praises.
B Awards.
C Support.
D Gratitude.
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:在原文第一段中,描述了当米劳高架桥在2004年开放时,这座世界最高的桥梁赢得了全世界的赞誉。根据上下文,可以推断出“accolades”在此处的意思是“赞誉、赞扬”,与选项A“Praises”最为接近。其他选项如“Awards”(奖项)、“Support”(支持)、“Gratitude”(感激)在原文中都没有明确提到或不符合上下文语境。
22、What can be inferred from PARAGRAPH TWO?
A Language does not shape thoughts in any significant way.
B The relationship between language and thought is an age-old issue.
C The language we speak determines how we think and see the world.
D Whether language shapes thought needs to be empirically supported.
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:在第二段中,Lera Boroditsky提到语言塑造思想,这种影响如此强烈,以至于“不同语言使用者的私人精神生活可能会有很大差异”,不仅在说话的时候,而且在所有认知任务中。因此,可以推断出说话的语言决定了我们如何思考和看待世界。所以,正确答案是C选项,即“我们所说的语言决定了我们如何思考和看待世界”。
23、What is the role of the underlined part “As in that bridge” in PARAGRAPH THREE?
A Reflecting on topics that appeal to the author and readers.
B Introducing new evidence to what has been confirmed before.
C Identifying the kinds of questions supported by the experiments.
D Claiming that speakers of different languages differ dramatically.
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:在第三段中,“As in that bridge”起到了引入新证据的作用。作者通过这句话将前文提到的世界最高桥梁的例子与后文关于语言如何影响人们对事物认知的描述联系起来。这里提到的是德国和法国对桥梁描述的差异,这实际上是为了引出后面关于语言如何影响人们对事物认知的证据。因此,答案为B,即“引入新证据来支持之前的观点”。
24、Which of the following has nothing to do with the relationship between language and thought?
A People remember what they saw both visually and verbally.
B Language helps to shape what and how we perceive the world.
C Grammar has an effect on how people think about things around us.
D Science has only scratched the surface of how language affects thought.
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:根据原文内容,文章主要探讨了语言与思维之间的关系,并通过多个实验和例子来说明语言如何影响人们的感知、思考和记忆。A选项“People remember what they saw both visually and verbally”虽然提到了人们既视觉又言语地记忆,但这并不是文章主要探讨的内容,而是作为一个例子来证明语言对记忆的影响。因此,A选项与文章主题无关,是正确答案。B、C、D选项都与文章主题相关,都探讨了语言如何影响思维或感知。
25、Which of the following best represents the author’s argument in the passage?
A The gender of nouns affects how people think about things in the world.
B Germans and Frenchmen think differently about the Viaduct de Millau.
C Language shapes our thoughts and affects our perception of the world.
D There are different means of proving how language shapes our thoughts.
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:文章通过多个实验和例子来论证语言如何影响人们的思维和感知。文章首先提到德国和法国对世界上最高的桥梁——米卢高架桥的评价不同,进而引出了作者的观点:语言塑造思维。接着,文章通过几个实验和例子进一步说明了语言对思维的影响,如名词的性别影响人们对事物的感知,语言甚至影响人们对颜色的记忆和感知等。因此,作者的观点是“语言塑造我们的思维,影响我们对世界的感知”,选项C最符合文章的中心思想。
When American-born actor Michael Pena was a year old, his parents were deported. They had illegally walked across the U.S. border from Mexico and when they were caught by immigration authorities, they sent Pena and his brother to stay with relatives in the U.S. “It was quite a bit of a gamble for my parents,” says Pena, “but they came back a year later.” Pena’s father, who had been a farmer in Mexico, got a job at a button factory in Chicago and, eventually, a green card. Pena stayed in Chicago until, at 19, he fled to Los Angeles to pursue his acting dreams.
This family history makes Pena’s latest role especially personal. In Cesar Chavez, Pena plays the labor leader as he struggles to organize immigrant California farm workers in the 1960s. To pressure growers to improve working conditions and wages, Chavez led a national boycott of table grapes that lasted from 1965 to 1970 and is recorded in the film. Chavez, like Pena, was the American-born son of Mexican farmers who immigrated to the U.S. “He understands this duality, the feeling of being born in a place but having a very big idea of where your heritage comes from,” says the film director, Diego Luna. “This thing of having to go to school and learn in English and then go home to speak Spanish with your parents.”
As immigration policy is hotly debated on Capitol Hill this year, Luna and others who were involved with Cesar Chavez are hoping the movie will spark new support for reform and inspire American Latinos to get involved. “The message Chavez left was that change couldn’t happen without the masses being a part of their own change,” says Ferrera, a first generation Honduran American who plays the union leader’s wife Helen. Rosario Dawson, who co-founded the advocacy group Voto Latino, plays Chavez ally and labor leader Dolores Huerta.
Immigrant-rights issues in the U.S. have evolved substantially in the years since Chavez founded the United Farm Workers (UFW). Undocumented workers now make up a far larger share of the agricultural workforce in California than they did in the 1960s, according to Miriam Pawel, author of The Crusades of Cesar Chavez, published the next month. Chavez was vehemently against illegal immigration, believing it made strikes difficult to execute and weakened the union. He initiated a program in the mid-1970s to locate undocumented farm workers and report them to immigration officials, Pawel writes. And despite his early victories, Chavez’s UFW union represents just a small part of those working on California farms today.
“Chavez’s legacy is not in the field, which is sad,” says Pawel. Still, she says, his organizing strategies, featured extensively in Cesar Chavez, have been adopted by other activists, including those leading the modern immigrant-rights movement. Chavez’s most important contribution may have been humanizing the Latino population for the American public. Farm laborers, many of whom barely spoke English, traveled across the country during the grape boycott, standing outside grocery stores to persuade housewives not to buy grapes and to spread the word about their plight. “They gave the boycott this very human face,” says Pawel.
“It was families talking to other families,” says Luna. “It’s about the power we have just by being who we are.”
26、Whom does the underlined word “He” in PARAGRAPH TWO refer to?
A Luna.
B Pena.
C Chavez.
D Ferrera.
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】根据文本中的语境,可以推断出“He”指的是Pena,因为文中提到Pena的父亲和母亲是非法移民,而Pena自己也是美国出生的,他了解这种双重性,即在美国出生但拥有墨西哥血统的感觉。因此,选项B“Pena”是正确答案。
27、What has made Pena’s role as Chavez in the movie Cesar Chavez so distinctive?
A His Mexican immigrant background.
B His Awareness of his Mexican heritage.
C His bilingual life at home and at school.
D His status before legal registration in the US.
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:根据文章中的描述,Pena的父母非法穿越美国边境,被移民局抓获后被遣返,之后一年后又回到美国。Pena的父亲在墨西哥是一名农民,在美国获得工作,最终获得绿卡。Pena在美国长大,直到19岁时才搬到洛杉矶追求演艺事业。由于Pena的这种移民背景,他能够深刻理解移民的困境和感受,因此他在电影《Cesar Chavez》中扮演的Chavez角色非常独特,具有鲜明的个人色彩。因此,选项A“他的墨西哥移民背景”是正确答案。
28、What did the film-makers want to achieve through the movie Cesar Chavez?
A To report on immigration policy debates.
B To stir immigration debates with a biopic.
C To make known the achievements of Michael Pena.
D To highlight the seeds of change within the masses involved.
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】根据原文“As immigration policy is hotly debated on Capitol Hill this year, Luna and others who were involved with Cesar Chavez are hoping the movie will spark new support for reform and inspire American Latinos to get involved.”可知,电影制作者们希望通过电影《Cesar Chavez》来引发关于移民政策的辩论,并激发美国拉丁裔人士参与的热情,因此电影制作者们想要通过这部电影来引发移民辩论,所以答案是B。
29、Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “vehemently” in PARAGRAPH FOUR?
A Emotionally.
B Deliberately.
C Strongly
D Actively.
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:在第四段中,“vehemently”所在的句子提到Cesar Chavez坚决反对非法移民,认为这会使罢工难以执行并削弱工会。根据这个语境,可以推断出“vehemently”在这里的意思是“强烈地、坚决地”。因此,选项C“Strongly”最符合这个语境。
30、Which of the following may best summaries Chavez’s contribution in leading the Latino immigrant-rights movement?
A The American public came to realize the power of change in the Latino community.
B The modern immigrant-rights movement leaders knew how to organize their activities strategically.
C The U.S. government knew how to locate undocumented farm workers and offer them official registration.
D The Mexican farm workers could travel across the country during the grape boycott to share their sufferings.
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:根据文章中的描述,Cesar Chavez的贡献主要体现在组织和领导移民加利福尼亚农场工人方面,他通过组织和领导罢工、游行等方式,推动改善移民工人的工作条件和工资水平。他的行动不仅在当时引起了广泛关注,而且影响了后来的移民权利运动。因此,最能总结Cesar Chavez在领导拉丁裔移民权利运动中的贡献的选项是B,即“现代移民权利运动领导者知道如何战略性地组织他们的活动”。
二、简答题
31、某位高一英语教师组织了一个关于oil pollution的口语活动,学生们却对该活动没有兴趣,活动难以开展。请分析学生不感兴趣的两个主要原因(8分),并列举组织成功的口语活动应注意的三个主要事项。(12分)
参考答案:
本题考查的是口语教学技能,结合oil pollution这个话题,学生很难展开口语活动,老师需要结合学生的学情特点和教学方法来分析判断学生不感兴趣的原因,并且列出其注意事项。
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】
这个简答题考查了口语活动的组织技巧和学生的学习兴趣。口语活动的设计应该充分考虑到学生的实际情况,包括他们的知识水平、兴趣爱好以及生活经验。
首先,对于学生对“oil pollution”这个口语活动不感兴趣的原因,可能有两点:一是话题本身可能较为枯燥,缺乏趣味性,难以引起学生的兴趣;二是学生对这个话题的背景知识了解不足,缺乏讨论的基础。
其次,成功的口语活动应该注意三个事项:一是话题的选择要有趣味性和实用性,能够引起学生的兴趣,让他们愿意参与讨论;二是要提供充足的背景知识,帮助学生理解话题,为他们的讨论提供基础;三是活动形式应多样,可以通过角色扮演、辩论、小组讨论等形式,让学生能够深入参与,提高他们的口语表达能力。
在口语活动的设计中,老师应该充分考虑到学生的实际情况,选择适合他们的话题和活动形式,以激发他们的学习兴趣,提高他们的口语表达能力。
下面是某高中教师的课堂教学片段。

参考答案:
本题考查新授环节和练习环节。
解析:【喵呜刷题小u解析】
该教学片段属于新授环节和练习环节。在新授环节,教师首先介绍了一些不同的运动,然后提出了问题,引导学生思考这些运动可以分成多少种类型。接着,教师举例说明了足球、网球、乒乓球等属于球类运动,并询问学生对双杠、单杠等运动的分类。在练习环节,教师引导学生通过讨论和回答问题来巩固新学的知识,并帮助学生掌握正确的英语发音。最后,教师总结归纳了今天学习的不同种类的运动,包括球类运动、体操、田径和水上运动。
教学目的方面,该教学片段旨在通过新授和练习环节,让学生了解和掌握不同种类的运动及其分类,同时提高学生的英语听说能力。通过教师的引导和学生的讨论,学生能够更加深入地理解运动分类的知识,并能够在实际应用中加以运用。同时,教师也注重了学生的英语发音和口语表达能力的培养,使学生能够更好地用英语表达运动相关的知识。
33、该片段存在哪两个主要问题(10分)?请提出相应的改进建议。(8分)
参考答案:
本题考查的是教学设计中的导入和新授环节,以及这两个环节的教学目的,考生不光要学习理论知识,更应该具备能根据课堂实录,分析具体的教学情景,理论和实践结合起来答题。
解析:【喵呜刷题小u解析】
该教学片段中,教师试图引导学生对所学的运动进行分类,但在处理学生主动提问和主导新授环节时存在一些问题。
首先,学生S2主动提问关于“跨栏”的英语表达,但教师并没有积极回应,而是转而引导学生学习其他内容。这种处理方式不利于激发学生的学习兴趣,也可能让学生感到自己的问题被忽视,从而影响其学习积极性。
其次,在新授环节,教师主导性过强,没有给予学生足够的自主思考和探究空间。例如,教师直接告诉学生“跨栏”和“跑步”属于田径运动,没有引导学生自己思考和归纳。这种教学方式不利于培养学生的自主学习能力和思维能力。
因此,针对这些问题,提出以下改进建议:一是教师应积极回应学生的主动提问,并引导学生深入探究;二是新授环节应适当减少教师的主导性,给予学生更多的自主思考和探究空间。例如,教师可以引导学生自己思考如何对所学的运动进行分类,并让学生分享自己的分类结果和理由,从而培养学生的自主学习能力和思维能力。同时,教师也应该鼓励学生主动提问,并耐心解答学生的问题,从而激发学生的学习兴趣和积极性。
语言素材:
Words, words, words
British and American English are different in many ways. The first and most obvious way is in the vocabulary. There are hundreds of different words which are not used on the other side of the Atlantic, or which are used with a different meaning. Some of these words are well known—Americans drive automobiles down freeways and fill up with gas; the British drive cars along motorways and fill up with petrol. As a tourist, you will need to use the underground in London or the subway in New York, or maybe you will prefer to get around the town by taxi (British) or cab (American).
Chips or French fries?
But other words and expressions are not so well known. Americans use a flashlight, while for the British, it’s a torch. The British queue up; Americans stand in line. Sometimes the same word has a slightly different meaning, which can be confusing. Chips, for example, are pieces of hot fried potato in Britain; in the States chips are very thin and are sold in packets. The British call these crisps. The chips the British know and love are French fries on the other side of the Atlantic.
Have or have got? There are a few differences in grammar, too. The British say Have you got…? While Americans prefer Do you have...? An American might say My friend just arrived, but a British person would say My friend has just arrived. Prepositions, too, can be different: compare on the team, on the weekend (American) with in the team, at the weekend (British). The British use prepositions where Americans sometimes omit them (I’ll see you Monday; Write me soon!).
Colour or color?
The other two areas in which the two varieties differ are spelling and pronunciation. American spelling seems simpler: center, color and program instead of centre, colour and progromme. Many factors have influenced American pronunciation since the first settlers arrived four hundred years ago. The accent, which is most similar to British English, can be heard on the East Coast of the US. When the Irish writer George Bernard Shaw made the famous remark that the British and the Americans are two nations divided by a common language, he was obviously thinking about the differences. But are they really so important? After all, there is probably as much variation of pronunciation within the two countries as between them. A Londoner has more difficulty understanding a Scotsman from Glasgow than understanding a New Yorker.
