d the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason is, you can soon bee totally unaware of your surroundings.The desire to pick up a book with an attractive dust_jacket is irresistible, although this method of selection ought not to be followed, as you might end up with a rather dull book.You soon bee interested in some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent far too much time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointment—without buying a book, of course.This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think, the main attraction of a bookshop. There are not many places where it is possible to do this. A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can wander round such places to your heart’s content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with the inevitable greeting: “Can I help you, sir?” You needn’t buy anything you don’t want. In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished browsing. Then, and only then, are his services necessary. Of course, you may want to find out where a particular section is, but when he has led you there, the assistant should retire discreetly(謹慎地) and look as if he is not interested in selling a single book.You have to be careful not to be attracted by the variety of books in a bookshop. It is very easy to enter the shop looking for a book on, say ancient coins and to e out carrying a copy of the latest best-selling novel and perhaps a book about brass-rubbing—something which had only slightly interested you up till then. This volume on the subject, however, happened to be so well illustrated and the part of the text you read proved so interesting that you just had to buy it. This sort of thing can be very dangerous. Apart from running up a huge account, you can waste a great deal of time wandering from section to section.72.The underlined phrase “dust jacket” means ______.A. a kind of clothesB. a paper cover of a bookC. a dusty bookD. a title of a book73.You may spend too much time in a bookshop because ______.A. the dust jackets are very attractiveB. you start reading one of the booksC. it is raining outsideD. you have to make sure you won’t buy a dull book as a present74.In a good bookshop ______.A. all the books there are interestingB. the assistant greets you in a warm wayC. your heart is satisfiedD. you feel that you are in a music shop75.The best title of this passage may be ______.A.

How to Select Books[答案]無論你是愛書的人或是僅僅想買一本書作為禮物,在書店里度過的時光都可能是令人非常愉快的。72.B??疾樵~義猜測。語境說一本書的dust jacket很吸引人,讓你難以抗拒,從而拿起它。從這些信息判斷,dust jacket應該是指書的封面。吸引人的書,看的人肯定多,不可能積滿灰塵(C);文章談論的是書,與衣服無關(A);文中沒有提到哪類書能吸引你,因此D項不對。73.B??疾榧毠?jié)理解。第三段說,你很快就沉浸在某一本書之中,通常要在好長時間這后才意識到在書店待得太久了,得趕緊去赴一個已被忘卻的約會。故B當選。74.C??疾榧毠?jié)理解。第四段說,能夠給人提供一個逃避日常生活的機會是書店吸引人的主要原因。在一個好的書店的駐足停留,能讓自己的心靈得到滿足。75.A。考查主旨大意。全文都在講述書店的魅力:在書店里度過的時光或許是最令人愉快的,我們能利用這樣的機會逃避現(xiàn)實生活,我們能在這里得到心靈的滿足等,故A切題。Ⅴ.短文改錯(共10小題;每小題1分,滿分10分)(2009杭州教學質量檢測)Dear Editor,___Yours,Li Yue[答案]76.Therefore→However。前一句說是重點中學的學生,后一句說學習上感到疲勞。意思上是轉折關系,而不是因果關系。77.tiring→tired。此處表達的是人的感覺,應用“tired of”。78.刪去of。quite a lot,作程度狀語,修飾動詞worried。79.subject→subjects。因為說的是所有學科。80.while→when或after,while與延續(xù)性動詞連用,grow up是不延續(xù)的動詞。81.√82.solve→solving。這里考查句型:spend time(in) doing sth.。83.prepare后加for。表示“為……作準備”時,要加介詞for。84.在live前加to。因為afford后跟不定式。85.How→What。Ⅵ.書面表達(滿分25分)假設2010年2月12日是你父親的生日,下面三幅圖描繪的是你給父親買完禮物后乘坐地鐵回家時經(jīng)歷的一件事。請根據(jù)圖示,用英語寫一篇日記記敘這件事,并談談自己的感受。注意:1.詞數(shù)不少于100;2.可適當加入細節(jié),以使行文連貫。參考詞匯:地鐵(列車)—subway trainFebruary 12th, 2010________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________[參考答案]February 12th, 2010Today is my father’s birthday. I went to buy a gift to make his day special. The subway train taking me home was crowded, but I was lucky to get a seat. I sat there quietly imagining my father’s smiling, satisfied and happy face at receiving the gift. The train stopped at the next stop and an old lady with two large suitcases got on. Seeing her so tired, I offered my seat to her although I felt exhausted myself. The old lady thanked me and I smiled back at her.Maybe that was another gift for my father. I also realized how much sweeter the journey would be if you made it smoother for others!
