　　Ⅱ.閱讀理解

　　As you move around your home，take a good look at the things you have.It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video，and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven.Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need.You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer，holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.

　　Now，perhaps，more than ever before，people are wondering what life is all about，and what it is for.Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world.They feel that the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives，leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes.Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them.Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year.

　　One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz.They used to work in central London.He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank.They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs，leaving their two children with a nanny.Most evenings Daniel wouldn’t get home until eight or nine o’clock and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings.They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.

　　Nowadays，they run a farm in the mountains of Wales.“I always wanted to have a farm then，” says Daniel，“and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift.It’s taken some getting used to，but it’s been worth it.We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays.However，I think it’s made us stronger as a family，and the children are a lot happier.”

　　Liz，however，is not quite sure.“I used to enjoy my job，even though it was hard work and long hours.I’m not really a country girl，but I suppose I’m gradually getting used to looking after the animals.One thing I do like，though，is being able to see more of my children.My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.”

　　1．The passage tells us that ________.

　　A．people seldom work long hours to make money

　　B．people hardly buy more things than necessary

　　C．people are sure everything they own is in the right place

　　D．people realize there is more to life than just making money

　　答案　D

　　解析　由文中主人公的經(jīng)歷可知，人們已經(jīng)意識(shí)到對(duì)于生活來(lái)說(shuō)，掙錢以外還有好多事情的。

　　2．When Daniel was a reporter he ________.

　　A．lived in central London

　　B．disliked his job

　　C．missed his children

　　D．was well paid

　　3．Daniel and Liz both agree that the move to the farm ________.

　　A．was easy to organize

　　B．has improved family life

　　C．was extremely expensive

　　D．has been a total success

　　答案　B

　　解析　根據(jù)第四、五段，Daniel和Liz都認(rèn)為現(xiàn)在的生活提升了他們的家庭生活質(zhì)量。

　　4．What does the author mean by saying “the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives” in the second paragraph?

　　A．People work long hours to earn their living.

　　B．To make more money through hard work is the aim of people’s life.

　　C．Long hours of hard work occupy too much of people’s life.

　　D．People spent too much time and money eating meals.

　　答案　C

　　解析　由全文敘述內(nèi)容和Daniel的經(jīng)歷可知，“掙錢意味著吞噬生命”是作者想表達(dá)的觀點(diǎn)。

　　5．The underlined word “downshifting” in the second paragraph refers to ________.

　　A．repairing your car by yourself

　　B．spending money carefully

　　C．moving out to the countryside to live a simpler and better life

　　D．living in a big house in the suburbs and dining out once a week

　　答案　C

　　解析　由最后三段的敘述可知，downshift指去鄉(xiāng)下過(guò)簡(jiǎn)樸的生活。

　　Ⅲ.微寫作

　　寫作素材

　　1．剛才在網(wǎng)上看到了你們的夏令營(yíng)廣告。

　　2．我很想?yún)⒓印?/p>

　　3．十年來(lái)我一直在學(xué)英語(yǔ)，并且能很流暢地用英語(yǔ)交流。

　　4．如果能成為你們的一員，我將不勝感激。

　　(素材來(lái)源于2024·新課標(biāo)全國(guó)·書面表達(dá))

　　提示：盡量使用高級(jí)表達(dá)：because引導(dǎo)的原因狀語(yǔ)從句；I’ll appreciate it if...等。

　　連句成篇(將以上句子連成一篇50詞左右的英語(yǔ)短文)

　　I’ve just read the advertisement of your summer camp on the Internet.I’d like to take part in it very much because I have been learning English for ten years and I can communicate in English fluently.I’ll appreciate it if I’ll be accepted as a member of your summer camp.

　　1．workout n．鍛煉；訓(xùn)練

　　英語(yǔ)中有許多類似的合成詞，如：

　　three-legged (數(shù)詞＋名詞-ed); light-hearted (形容詞＋名詞-ed); man-made(名詞＋過(guò)去分詞)；deep-set(形容詞＋過(guò)去分詞)；well-known (副詞＋過(guò)去分詞)；funny-looking (形容詞＋現(xiàn)在分詞)；world-famous (名詞＋形容詞)。

　　2．respondent n．答卷人；調(diào)查對(duì)象 respond v．回答　response n．回答；辯護(hù)　in response to回答；為……辯護(hù)

　　3．a(chǎn)t least至少　at most至多　not in the least決不　least of all尤其；更不用說(shuō)

　　4．They feel that the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives，leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes.

　　句中that引導(dǎo)賓語(yǔ)從句從句的主語(yǔ)是the_long_hours_work_culture_to_make_more_money謂語(yǔ)部分是is_eating_up_their_lives;_leaving them...為現(xiàn)在分詞短語(yǔ)作結(jié)果狀語(yǔ)。

　　5．My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.

　　本句為并列連詞or連接的并列句；前一單句中wanting to do the same為現(xiàn)在分詞短語(yǔ)作定語(yǔ)，修飾other_people；not to think about it too much為不定式作表語(yǔ)。

　　學(xué)會(huì)一種單詞記憶法

　　1．邏輯記憶：通過(guò)詞的本身的內(nèi)部邏輯關(guān)系，詞與詞之間的外部邏輯關(guān)系記憶單詞。(1)把幾個(gè)字母看作一個(gè)來(lái)記 如：“ight” light，right，fight，night，might，sight，tight。(2)外舊內(nèi)新，如：bridge “橋”看成 b＋ridge，ridge “山脊”；sharp 看成 s＋harp，harp “豎琴”。(3)外新內(nèi)舊，如：cleave “劈開(kāi)”看成 c＋leave，tact “機(jī)智”看成t＋act。
