As you know, the great American writer Jack London was often in need of money when he began to write his books. He worked very hard but it did not help him.

　　Once he promised(允諾) a New York magazine(雜志) to write a story for it, but he was busy at that time and could not keep his promise. The boss of the magazine wrote letters to Jack London several times to ask him to send the story. At last he went to Jack London's room and left him a note (字條).

　　“Dear Jack London, if I don't get the story in twenty-four hours, I'll come to your room and kick(踢) you downstairs, and I always keep my promise.”

　　Jack London read the note and answered：“Dear Dick, if I could do my work with my feet like you, I could keep my promise, too.”

1．Jack London ________ when he began to write his books.

[　　]

答案：B;C;B;A;D
解析：

　　答案為：1．B;2．C;3．B;4．A;5．D

　　【解析】本篇文章是關(guān)于美國(guó)作家杰克·倫敦的小故事。

　　1．本題屬于詞義辨別題。答案與文中相關(guān)詞語的語義相近，卻用了不同的表達(dá)方式。文中說：“Jack London was often in need of money when he began to write his books.”劃線部分與B選項(xiàng)didn't have enough money意義相近。2．本題也屬詞義辨別題。文中有一句…but he was busy at that time and could not keep his promise.而將C項(xiàng)置入第2題則為…h(huán)e was too busy to write a story for a New York magazine as he promised.關(guān)鍵詞語too…to…表示“太……而不能……”。兩個(gè)句子用不同的方式表達(dá)出了相同的意思。3．本題屬辨認(rèn)事實(shí)題。這類題目的答案可直接從閱讀材料中獲取，著重考查學(xué)生對(duì)主要信息的篩選能力，只要抓住文中揭示主旨的關(guān)鍵詞句，辨認(rèn)相關(guān)信息，答案便清楚無疑。根據(jù)原文提供的信息：The boss wrote letters to Jack London several times to ask him to send the story.與題目中的B項(xiàng)意思一致。4．本題屬于詞的用法判斷題。這是考查英語的知識(shí)性問題，同時(shí)也考查學(xué)生的觀察能力。文中用代詞he代替the boss，肯定為男性，當(dāng)然用反身代詞himself作其同位語。5．本題屬于邏輯推理題。這類題目的答案一般不能照搬原文中的某一句話，而要在充分理解原文的基礎(chǔ)上，對(duì)文章提供的多種信息進(jìn)行綜合整理、推理和判斷，得出合乎邏輯的結(jié)論。根據(jù)材料提供的信息：If I could do my work with my feet like you, I could keep my promise.作為作家，杰克倫敦不可能用腳來寫文章，因此he couldn't do his work with his feet.

閱讀理解

　　Languages keeps evolving(進(jìn)化、發(fā)展), and English is no exception．It is a language that embraces(欣然接受)new words that may be cool today but gone tomorrow．

　　There are, however, some words and phrases that have stood the test of time．OK, which has become the international standard for expressing agreement, is a good example．

　　But why is this rather odd(奇怪的)expression so popular and so useful when we could use any number of other words to say the same thing?

　　Writing in The Times, Allen Metcalf, author of OK：The Improbable Story of America’s Greatest Word, writes：“What OK provided that the others did not was neutrality(中性), a way to express agreement without having to offer an opinion．”

　　For example, if someone asks you “Shall we go for a walk after lunch?” you can simply respond “OK”．There you go－no extra opinions．Just straight, plain old OK．

　　So just where did this rather curious expression come from? The origins of OK have been widely disputed(辯論，爭(zhēng)論)．Some people have guessed that OK was the name of a person or a product．

　　Speakers of many different languages have had their say on this question, keen to claim the term as their own．

　　Writing an article for London’s Metro newspaper, Metcalf states：‘O and K are present in every language of the world, as expressions that can be abbreviated(縮寫)OK．” For example：French－“O qu-oui”, “yes indeed”; German－“Ohne Korrektur”,“ without correction needed”; and in Latin or Greek, “Olla kalla”, “all good”．

　　But, does it sound a little too informal with this popular little expression?

　　Apparently not．

　　In a speech where he stated that his election(當(dāng)選)would not be a radical(激進(jìn)的)result to all problems, President Obama said：“…even though I am president…, AI-Qaida is still a threat(威脅)and that we cannot pretend somehow that because Barack Hussein Obama got elected as president, suddenly everything’s going to be OK,” he said．

　　So, there you go, straight from the president．It’s OK to say OK, and thanks to the expression’s widespread usage across the world, you can be understood anywhere．

(1)

Using the example of Obama, the author wants to show that _________．

[　　]

A．

there is still a long way to go to defeat Al-Qaida

B．

Obama likes to use OK when he speaks

C．

OK is widely used even on formal occasions

D．

the use of OK is encouraged in formal speech

(2)

According to Allen Metcalf, OK differs from other terms to express agreement, which of the following opinions is true?

[　　]

A．

It is easiest way to say．

B．

It doesn’t need emotion．

C．

It is the most commonly used．

D．

It doesn’t use in the formal speech．

(3)

What is the best title for the passage?

[　　]

A．

Why OK is OK everywhere?

B．

It’s OK to say OK in the world．

C．

Where did OK come from?

D．

Everything is going to be OK．

　　Mr Smith was often careless. He always forgot something. In the office, his workmates had to remind him of the i 1 things. At home, his family often told him to be careful.
