第二部分 经典例题

　　一、单项选择题

　　1.【2016年上】 Walnut trees _____ environment stresses such as drought by producing significant amounts of a substance similar to aspirin.

　　A. turn to B. confirm to C. contribute to D. respond to

　　【答案】D。解析：考查动词短语辨析。turn to“转向;变成;求助于;致力于;开始行动”;confirm to“证实”;contribute to“有助于”;respond to“对……反应”。句意为“面对来自环境的压力，例如干旱，胡桃树会释放大量类似阿司匹林的物质”。故选D。

　　2.【2016年下】He said he’d phone you _____ he got home.

　　A. the moment B. the moment when

　　C. at the moment D. at the moment when

　　【答案】A。解析：考查时间状语从句。英语中时间状语从句的连词主要有when, while, as, before等，除此之外，还有一些表示时间的名词短语如the moment, the minute, the instant等，用于as soon as的意义时可引导时间状语从句，这些词在句中起着连词的作用，所以不再需要when等连词，因此B项和D项可排除。C项at the moment是介词短语，在句子中作状语，不能引导时间状语从句。句意为“他说他一到家，就会给你打电话”。故选A。

　　3.【2016年下】Which of the following assumptions fails to describe the nature of vocabulary or vocabulary learning?

　　A. Words are best learned in context.

　　B. A lexical item can be more than one word.

　　C. All words in one language have equivalents in another.

　　D. Learning a word includes learning its form, meaning and use.

　　【答案】C。解析：考查词汇教学。句意为“下列哪项说法没有正确描述词汇或词汇学习的性质?”A项“最好在语境中学习单词”;B项“一个词条可以对应不止一个单词”;C项“在一门语言中的所有单词在另一门语言中都有对应的词汇”，但是事实上一门语言的词汇与另外一门语言并不是一一对应的关系，比如“巧克力”就是音译过来的一个原本在汉语里没有的词汇;D项“”学习一个单词包括学习其形式、意义和用法。故选C。

　　4.【2017年上】Tom is snobbish, always _____ the influential people.

　　A. making out for B. making up C. making up to D. making up for

　　【答案】C。解析：考查动词词组辨析。根据题干，汤姆很势利，经常_____有影响力的人。A项make out为理解，辨认;B项为组成，化妆;C项是奉承;D项是弥补，根据题干可知，正确答案为C项。

　　5. 【2017年上】Which of the following best describes the relation between night and knight?

　　A. metonymy B. homonymy C. antonymy D. hyponymy

　　【答案】B。解析：考查语义学。根据题干，要区分night和knight的关系，两词发音相同，但拼写和意义不同，因此属于homonymy同音异义词，A项为转喻;B项同音异义词;C项是反义;D项是上下义关系。正确答案为B项。

　　二、阅读理解题

　　【2016年下】

　　Hidden Valley looks a lot like the dozens of other camps that dot the woods of central Maine. There’s a lake, some soccer fields and horses. But the campers make the difference. They’re all American parents who have adopted kids from China. They’re at Hidden Valley to find bridges from their children’s old worlds to the new. Diana Becker watches her 3-year-old daughter Mika dance to a Chinese version of “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.” “Her soul is Chinese,” she says, “but really she’s growing up American.”

　　Hidden Valley and a handful of other “culture camps” serving families with children from overseas reflect the huge rise in the number of foreign adoptions, from 7, 093 in 1990 to 15, 774 last year. Most children come from Russia (4, 491 last year) and China (4, 206) but there are also thousands of others adopted annually from South America, Asia and Eastern Europe. After cutting through what can be miles of red tape, parents often come home to find a new predicament. “At first you think, ‘I need a child’,” says Sandy Lachter of Washington, D.C., who with her husband, Steve, adopted Amelia, 5, from China in 1995. “Then you think, ‘What does the child need?’”

　　The culture camps give families a place to find answers to those kinds of questions. Most grew out of local support groups; Hidden Valley was started last year by the Boston chapter of Families with Children from China, which includes 650 families. While parents address weighty issues like how to raise kids in a mixed-race family, their children just have fun riding horses, singing Chinese songs or making scallion pancakes. “My philosophy of camping is that they could be doing anything, as long as they see other Chinese kids with white parents,” says the director, Peter Kassen, whose adopted daughters Hope and Lily are 6 and 4.

　　The camp is a continuation of language and dance classes many of the kids attend during the year. “When we rented out a theater for ‘Mulan,’ it was packed,” says Stephen Chen of Boston, whose adopted daughter Lindsay is 4. Classes in Chinese language, art and calligraphy are taught by experts, like Renne Lu of the Greater Boston Chinese Cultural Center. “Our mission is to preserve the heritage,” Lu says.

　　Kids who are veteran campers say the experience helps them understand their complex heritage. Sixteen-year-old Alex was born in India and adopted by Kathy and David Brinton of Boulder, Colo., when he was 7. “I went through a stage where I hated India, hated everything about it,” he says. “You just couldn’t mention India to me.” But after six sessions at the East India Colorado Heritage Camp, held at Snow Mountain Ranch in Estes Park, Colo., he hopes to travel to India after he graduates from high school next year.

　　6. What is the author’s primary purpose in writing the passage?

　　A. Revealing the procedures for foreign adoptions.

　　B. Recounting an amazing childhood camping experience.

　　C. Investigating how Hidden Valley serves foreign adoption families.

　　D. Demonstrating how culture camps help foreign adoption families.

　　【答案】D。解析：主旨题。文章通篇介绍Hidden Valley以及其他野营活动小组安排的活动及其作用，其目的是为了阐述此类野营活动小组的开展是为了帮助跨种族收养儿童更好地了解他们的传统文化，更好地融入新家庭。故选D。

　　7. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “predicament” in PARAGRAPH TWO?

　　A. Dilemma. B. Status. C. Contradiction. D. Consequence.

　　【答案】A。解析：词义题。根据第二段“predicament”后面Sandy所说的话“At first you think, ‘I need a child’,” says Sandy Lachter of Washington, D.C., who with her husband, Steve, adopted Amelia, 5, from China in 1995. “Then you think, ‘What does the child need?’”可知，虽然通过了重重困难收养了一个孩子，但是却发现了新的问题，那就是不知道孩子想要什么，所以家长的处境变得进退两难。故选A。

　　8. Where are the adopted kids served by Hidden Valley from?

　　A. Russia. B. India. C. China. D. America.

　　【答案】C。解析：细节题。根据第一段“They’re all American parents who have adopted kids from China.”可知Hidden Valley帮助的孩子来自中国。故选C。

　　9. What can a culture camp help to do according to Peter Kassen?

　　A. It helps the adopted kids form a correct attitude to their complex heritage.

　　B. It helps the Chinese children have fun with their American parents.

　　C. It helps the Americans increase the adoption from Russia and China.

　　D. It helps the American parents adopt children from other countries.

　　【答案】B。解析：细节题。根据Peter Kassen定位到第三段“My philosophy of camping is that they could be doing anything, as long as they see other Chinese kids with white parents,” says the director, Peter Kassen.可见他的观点是“只要孩子们看到其他中国孩子能和他们的白人父母在一起做的，他们都可以做”，因此选B。其他三项均不是Peter Kassen的观点。

　　10. What can be inferred about Alex from the last paragraph?

　　A. The culture camps caused Alex to hate everything about India.

　　B. The East India Colorado Heritage Camp led to Alex’s immigration.

　　C. Hidden Valley served as a link between Alex’s old world and the new.

　　D. The culture camps helped Alex better understand his mixed-race family.

　　【答案】D。解析：推断题。根据最后一段第一句以及Alex所说的话，可知Alex对他的出生国家印度有了改观，对自己跨种族的家庭有了新的认识。故选D。也可以使用排除法，排除其他三项。

　　三、简答题

　　【2016年下】根据题目要求完成下列任务，用中文作答。

　　11.简述教师在组织小组活动(group work)时需注意的两个注意事项。列举教师在开展小组活动时的两个主要角色，并概括有效开展小组活动时教师应具备的两个主要能力。

　　【参考答案】

　　(1)教师在组织小组活动时需注意的两个注意事项：

　　①精心选择话题，明确活动目的。教师在小组活动中要结合教学内容，选择恰当的话题，以引发学生的学习兴趣，激起学生主动参与语言活动的欲望。同时，要在活动开始之前，使学生明白小组活动的任务，从而才能按照教师的布置认真完成小组活动并有实质性收获。

　　②合理组建小组，明确职责分工。

　　教师要从学生的实际情况出发，注意学生之间的差异性，进行合理分组。可以根据性别、性格特点、学习成绩、遵守纪律情况的等方面的差异建立相对稳定的学习小组，以保证组内各成员的差异性和互补性;可以根据小组水平基本一致来分，以保证小组之间竞争的公平性。在分组后，要根据每个人的实际情况，明确分工，确保每个组员都有属于自己的任务，使每个人都能有效地发挥作用。

　　(2)教师在开展小组活动时的两个主要角色：

　　①组织者

　　教师宣布采取小组活动的形式，明确活动任务，组织分组，确定每组组长并使小组长明确自己的职责，然后说明活动如何开展;活动进行中，教师要确保学生正确地执行任务，并给予指导或督促，这都体现了教师的组织者的角色。

　　②参与者

　　新课程强调教学是教与学的交往、互动，是师生双方相互交流、相互沟通、相互补充的过程。在小组活动中，教师应把自己当成学生中的一员，参与到活动中，既可以活跃课堂气氛，增进师生感情，又可以帮助学生解决难题，协助学生共同完成任务。

　　(另外，教师在小组活动中的主要角色还有控制者、评价者等，考生列举出两种，并做简洁的说明即可)

　　(3)教师应具备的两个主要能力是组织能力和观察能力。在小组活动中，教师需要在整个过程中，发挥良好的组织协调能力。同时在整个活动的过程中，教师也需要发挥观察能力。如发现学生在活动中遇到困难，要主动帮助学生排忧解难，使活动能够顺畅进行。
