（1） Are you carrying too much on your back at school? Lots of kids(孩子) at the same age as you are. Not only are students in China 1 from this problem, but kids in the United States are 2 fed up with（饱受……之苦） heavy school bags. Experts are starting to 3 that more and more young students are having back and neck problems as a result of school bags 4 too heavy for them. “It’s hard for me to get up the 5___ with my bag because it’s so heavy,” said Rich Hammond, 6 11-year-old student in the But how much is too 11 ? Experts say students should carry 12 more than 10 to 15 per cent of their own body weight. Scott Bautch, a Wisconsin 13 doctor, said kids under 4th grade should 14 with 10 per cent. But it’s also important that older kids don’t go 15 15 percent, because their bones are still growing. Bautch explained that there are other injuries caused by backpacks. “Kids are 16 their balance and falling down with these backpacks,” he saiD. Parents and teachers are starting to tell the kids to only take 17 library books they will be reading that night. Some teachers are using worksheets(作业纸) or 18 workbooks for students to take home. One of the best answers is, as some 19 themselves suggested, to have no homework 20 ! 1. A. meeting B. facing C. experiencing D. suffering 2. A. already B. always C. yet D. also 3.

A. at all B. after all C. in all D. for all 答案解析： 1. 选D。根据后面的also fed up with（也饱受……之苦）选定。 2. 选D。not only…but also系习惯搭配。 3. 选C。学生负担重，是一个人人皆知的现象，无需专家指出，故排除A、B、D三个选项。 4. 选A。of后是一个介词短语，故选非谓语动词being。 5. 选B。由副词up可排除另三个选项。 6. 选D。此处表示泛指，故用不定冠词，又由于eleven以元音开头，所以选择an。 7. 选D。这里的regular等于usual，意为“正常的、通常的”。 8. 选B。前后意义在此形成转折。 9. 选A。上文已呈现过这一说法，此外，另三个选项不能与bus搭配。 10. 选B。根据even选定。 11. 选C。 由主语中的much推定。 12. 选A。no more than意为“仅仅”。not more than意为“不超过”，须后接一个固定值，10 to 15表示的是一个区间，数值并不固定。 13. 选D。通过排除法选定。儿科医生用baby doctor，所以A是不能选用的。 14. 选B。stay表示“坚持，承受”。另三词后面不能用with。 15. 选C。 beyond意为“超出”。前面已交待过学生背负的重量应在自身体重量的10%至15%之间，即不能“超出”15%。 16. 选C。背着背包跌倒的原因就是身体“失去”平衡。 17. 选A。第18空后再现了take home这一说法，此外，另三个词是名词，应排除。 18. 选B。这里讨论的是作业的量，而不是质，故选thin。 19. 选D。全文谈的是学生学习负担沉重的事，因此，由themselves ，我们首先联想到的是kids。 20. 选A。at all在否定句中表示强调。
（2） I consider myself something of an expert on apologies. A quick temper(脾气) has 1 me with plenty of opportunities(机会) to make them. In one of my earliest 2 , my mother is telling me, “Don’t watch the 3 when you say ‘I’m sorry’. Hold your head up and look the person in the 4 , so he’ll know you 5 it.” My mother thus made the key point of a(n) 6 apology: it must be direct. You must never 7 to be doing something else. You do not One of the important things you should do for an 13 apology is readiness to 14 the responsibility(责任) for our careless mistakes. We are used to making excuses, which leaves no 15 for the other person to 16 us. Since most people are open-hearted, the no-excuse apology leaves both parties feeling 17 about themselves. That, after all, is the 18 of every apology. It 19 little whether the apologizer is wholly or only partly at fault: answering for one’s 20 encourages others to take their share of the blame. 1. A. provided B. mixed C. compared D. treated 2. A. dreams B. courses C. memories D. ideas 3. A. side B. ground C. wall D. bottom 4. A. mind B. soul C. face D. eye 5. A. imagine B. enjoy C. mean D. regret 6. A. useful B. successful C. equal D. basic 7. A. pretend B. forget C. refuse D. expect 8. A. hold on B. put away C. look through D. pick up 9. A. poorer B. weaker C. worse D. lower 10. A. fault B. reason C. result D. duty 11. A. cruelly B. freely C. roughly D. foolishly 12. A. manners B. excuses C. efforts D. roles 13. A. active B. effective C. extra D. easy 14. A. raise B. perform C. admit D. bear 15. A. situation B. need C. sign D. room 16. A. advise B. forgive C. warn D. blame 17. A. wiser B. warmer C. better D. cleverer 18. A. purpose B. method C. end D. advantage 19. A. cares B. matters C. depends D. remains 20. A. facts B. states C. rights D. actions 答案解析： 1. 选A。provide … with意为“向……提供……”。 2. 选C。紧接着的就是作者回忆出来的内容。 3. 选B。与后面提到的“要抬起头”正好相反。 4. 选D。道歉时看着对方的眼睛，以示真诚，这一点在中西方文化是相同的。 5. 选C。mean it意为“这样对方就会明白你有道歉的意思”。it在这里指道歉的行为。 6. 选B。冒号后的内容即为“成功的”道歉的一些基本特征。 7. 选A。 pretend“假装”。根据情景和常识选定。 8. 选C。其他三个选项不合语境。 9. 选D。职位一般论的是高、低。 10. 选A。fault“过错（责任）”。turn out意为“后来证明是”。 11. 选C。roughly此处表示对待客人不礼貌，服务不到位。从前面的要不要道歉的讨论可以猜出这一答案。 12. 选A。bad manners 意为不礼貌的行为，从treat roughly这一信息不难推测出这一答案。 13. 选B。effective与successful有异曲同工之妙。 14. 选D。bear the responsibility（承担责任），系习惯搭配。 15. 选D。leave no room不留余地。 16. 选B。经常找借口，那么也就会不留余地让别人来“原谅”自己。 17. 选C。better表示“心情更舒畅”。未找借口的道歉，即真诚的道歉，对方的感觉一定很好。 18. 选A。道歉的最终“目的”是化干戈为玉帛，大家和好如初，所以用purpose。 end表示“目的”时用复数较多，而且不及purpose直接。 19. 选B。道歉者是全部还是部分承担责任这些都不太重要：关键是为所作所为主动负责，这也能促使别人共同承担责任。 根据语境不难排除另三个选项 20. 选D。根据行文逻辑应该是对自己的“行动”负责。answer for在此意为“对…… 负责”。 |
