grammar!grammar is simply the art of putting words together to make sentences. whenever you use words to express yourself, youre using grammar. you do this all the time without even thinking.so why think about it? because good grammar helps you convey the ideas you intend. if your words arent right, or if they are not in the right order, the person you are talking to might get the wrong idea. this can have embarrassing results.grammar helps us understand each other. its like a manual for assembling the words in your head. you have to put your words together the right way if you want them to make sense. they cant do what you want is they arent put together correctly.what if everybody you know had a different manual? how would you agree on what others words mean? people with different grammar manuals might be speaking different languages.communicating is similar to playing cards. to make sense, we have to play the same game, by the same rules. what are the rules for playing the game of english? you already know most of them without having to open a book.grammarphobes refer to people who .mind grammar too much in writingare afraid of making grammar mistakesconsider grammar to be boringare worried about grammar homeworkthe underlined word “assembling” in paragraph 6 may mean .looking for b. bringing together c. remembering d. directingwhat does playing cards have in common with communicating?both can be learned easilyboth can be very interestingboth need rules.both can make sense for our life.what might be the main idea of the passage?improving grammar through writing.forgetting grammar when writing.grammar is not horrible.what is grammarphobia?语篇解读 本文是说明文，谈到了学生为之色变的语法。患有语法恐惧症的人，要认识到语法就像游戏规则一样是必须存在的，它可以帮助我们平时的交流和学习，所以没有必要对此感到恐惧。b 细节理解题。第一段指出grammarphobia 是对语法的恐惧，第二段倡导grammarphobes不要害怕语法，由此可知，grammarphobes是指那些害怕语法的人，故选b。b 词义扒测题。结合后面一句的“you have to put your words together the right way” 及下一句中的“ if they arent put together correctly”可知，语法就像帮助人们把头脑中的词汇合在一起的操作指南，故选b。c 细节理解题。这里把 交流和打扑克做了比较，认为它们相似的原因是无论是打扑克还是交流都必须遵循一定的规则，没有规则的话，就达不到沟通或娱乐的目的，故选c。c 主旨大意题。本文开头得到人们害怕语法，害怕出现语法错误，而作者认为语法的存在是合理的，我们学习语言必须遵循一定的规则，所以没有必要对语法感到恐惧，因此c项符合题意。b段without most people realizing it, there has been a revolution in office work over the last ten years. before that time, large computers were only used by large, rich companies that could afford the investment. with the advancement of technology, small computers have come onto the market, which are capable of doing the work that used to be done by much larger and expensive computers, so now most smaller companies can use them.the main development in small computers has been in the field of word processors (处理器) , or wps as they are often called. 40% of british offices are now estimated to have a word processor and this percentage is growing fast.there are many advantages in using a word processor for both secretary and manager. the secretary is freed from a lot of daily work, such as re-typing letters and storing papers. he or she can use this time to do other more interesting work for the boss. from a managers point of view, secretarial time is being made better use of and money can be saved by doing daily jobs automatically outside office hours.but is it all good? if a lot of daily secretarial work can be done automatically, surely this will mean that fewer secretaries will be needed. another worry is the increasing medical problems related to work with visual display units (显示器). the case of a slow loss of sight among people using word processors seems to have risen greatly. it is also feared that if a woman works at a vdu for long hours, the unborn child in her body might be killed. safety screens to put over a vdu have been invented but few companies in england bother to buy them. whatever the arguments for and against word processor are, they are a key feature (特征) of this revolution in office practice.1. ten years ago, smaller companies did not use large computers because_.a. these companies had not enough money to buy such expensive computers b. these computers could not do the work that small computers can do today c. these computers did not come onto the market d. these companies did not need to use this new technology2. according to the writer, the main feature of the revolution in office work over the last ten years is _.a. the saving of time and moneyb. the use of computers in small companiesc. the wide use of word processorsd. the decreasing number of secretaries3. it is implied but not directly stated in the passage that with the use of word processors _. a. some secretaries will lose their jobs b. daily jobs can be done automatically outside office hours c. medical problems related to work with a vdu have increased greatly d. the british companies will make less money4. which of the following statements is not true? a. there are both advantages and disadvantages in using a word processor. b. the british companies care much for the health of the people using word processors. c. the technology in the field of computers has been greatly advanced over the last ten years. d. using word processors, secretaries can get more time to do more interesting work for their bosses.5. it can be concluded from the passage that _. a. safety screens are of poor quality b. working at a vdu for a long time is good for ones health c. more and more british offices will use word processors d. british companies will need fewer and fewer managers【参考答案】15、acabc 四、七选五(2015山东济南市5月针对性训练)for some people，the warmest memories from childhood come from being read a great story._1_ it develops childrens language skills and increases their ability to succeed in school and，later，work.a new report by the american academy of pediatrics says reading aloud is so important that parents should start as soon as their children are born and continue to read aloud even after their children can read by themselves.they say parents should also point to and talk about pictures in books for infants(婴幼儿)_2_the company scholastic is a major us.publisher of childrens books.every two years，scholastic publishes a report on american reading attitudes and habits.the 2015 report says only 31 percent of children in the us.read a book for fun almost every day._3_ one is simply to have books in the home.elizabeth lyttleton，the mother of three，is lucky.her mother once wrote and illustrated childrens books，so the family always have plenty to read.she says all her children learn from books but in different ways._4_ researchers from the scholastic company found that 80%of children surveyed of all ages say they love being read to.and children ages 6 to 11 whose parents do not read to them anymore say they miss it._5_ of all the six to 17yearolds in the scholastic study，more than 90%said their favorite books are the ones they chose for themselves.athe scholastic report also suggests permitting children to choose their own books.bscholastic also identifies some ways to develop a love of reading in a child.ca book does not have to be serious to be good for kids.dfor young children，parents should ask questions about the book.edo children still read for fun?fanother way to develop a reading habit in children is to read to them.gbut reading to children does more than create warm memories.文章大意：作者主要介绍父母们给孩子读书的好处，帮助孩子养成良好的读书习惯，喜欢读书，让孩子受益一生。 1g根据空前后与g中的关键词warm memories，reading，being read，children，childhood等可知答案。 but是关键提示词，首句意思是：对于很多人来说，童年最温暖的回忆(the warmest memory)就是有人给读故事(being read a great story)。选项g的“warm memories”对应空格前的“the warmest memory”；“reading to children”对应空格前的“being read a great story”和空格后的“it”。并且，选项g中的“more than”对应空格后的“
