you look no older than thirty-five(=you look as young as thirty-five). 你真的五十岁了? 看起来像三十五岁一样年轻。(3)“not +比较级”表示“不如”。比较: he is no richer than you. 他和你一样穷。(both are poor)he is not richer than you. 他不比你更富。(both are rich)he is no poorer than you. 他和你一样富。(both are rich)he is not poorer than you. 他不比你更穷。(both are poor)(4)否定副词和比较级连用, 可表最高级。at this time of year, there is nowhere better than the unspoilt countryside of south shropshire. 在每年的这个时候, 没有什么地方比未经破坏的南希罗普郡的乡村风光更好的了。15. having worked non-stop for ten hours, i found myself slow in thinking and a bit _ at performing even the simplest task. a. compulsoryb. clumsyc. unconsciousd. contradictory【解析】选b。句意: 连续工作了十个小时, 我觉得自己反应慢了, 连做最简单的事情都笨拙了。clumsy笨拙的, 与前面的slow对应; compulsory必须做的, 强制性的; unconscious无意识的, 不自觉的; contradictory矛盾的, 反驳的。. 阅读理解aa 12-year old boy who donated bone marrow(骨髓)to his dying sister and has raised more than10, 000 for charity has been named the uks family hero of the year. adam kerr, 12, from armagh, northern ireland, also helps his mother care for his younger brother brian, 9, who suffers from the genetic disease fanconis anaemia(贫血症). but it is not the first hardship that has affected young adam. when he was just six, he donated his own bone marrow to his younger sister helen who suffered from a rare blood disorder. sadly she developed complications and died a few months after the operation in 2005. adam found it very difficult to be happy after helens death. so he decided to start raising money in memory of helen to help local poor children and families with bereavement(丧亲之痛). overall he has raised10, 000 and he has no intentions of giving up. he organised a fun day to provide the money for a brother and sister from northern ireland to visit their sick brother having a bone marrow transplant in a london hospital. he received his award and a cheque for2, 000 at an “oscars style” ceremony in london. ms phillips said, “adam is an incredible young man. in his relatively short life he has faced real sadness and bad luck and yet he works tirelessly to make life better for others. ”the awards were sponsored by the charity 4children and take a break magazine. anne longfield obe, chief executive of 4children said, “its an honour to recognise adams devotion and self-sacrifice, and his bravery shows there is always reason for hope and optimism. there is so much unrecognized goodwill out there of people who do so much for others, and the inspiring winners of the family heroes awards remind us how important it is for us all to do our best to make a difference in the lives of others. ”【文章大意】adam六岁时给妹妹捐献骨髓, 12岁时给姐姐捐献骨髓, 并帮妈妈照看患贫血症的弟弟。同时, 他还为慈善募捐, 帮助当地的遭受丧亲之痛的贫穷孩子和家庭。1. from the passage we can see adams younger brother _ . a. was too young and ill to look after himselfb. was fortunate enough to be curedc. donated his bone marrow to his sisterd. was going to have an operation【解析】选a。推理判断题。根据第二段的首句可知: adam的弟弟患有基因病“贫血症”, 因此adam照顾他是因为他病得厉害。所以选a。【拓展延伸】借助关键词进行推理判断此类推理判断题只需要寻找与题干有逻辑关系的关键词就可以推出正确答案。因此, 解题时应认真阅读试题, 弄清要求和回答问题的角度, 结合原文看是否有关键词可以用来进行推理判断。此题中的关键词是adams younger brother。有关他的信息在第二段的句首提到, 文中关键词是care for与a项中的look after同义, 而且suffers from the genetic disease, 与a中的ill同义。2. why does adam raise money for charity?

a. the first hardship that has affected adam is to care for brian. b. adam suffers from the genetic disease fanconis anaemia. c. adam is so tired that he wants to give up fund raising. d. adam is awarded for his dedication, bravery and self-sacrifice. 【解析】选d。细节理解题。根据最后一段首席执行官说的话可知, 获奖是因为adam的奉献和自我牺牲以及他的勇敢。根据第二段的第一、二句可知a错误; 根据第五段的最后一句可知c错误。5. whats the best title for the passage?
