Slang is a popular, less official and often very current form of language. It is an important part of a living language and is constantly changing as language changes. Slang is often playful, direct and sometimes less respectful than the more official and traditional version of language. So now I'm going to lay it on you! To “lay it on” is American slang for “to tell” or “to explain.”
Slang can take many forms. For example, slang can be local to one city or area. In Washington, D.C. there is a whole set of slang to describe politics and business in the city. For example, the term POTUS stands for President of the United States. POTUS can often be found with his wife, FLOTUS, the first lady of the United States. “Inside the Beltway” is a popular expression that describes the area of Washington, D.C. The beltway is the large highway that circles the city.
The Internet has helped create a whole new kind of computer-related slang. An “angry fruit salad” is an expression that describes a website with too many bright colors. “Netiquette” is slang for correct behavior when using the Internet.
Young people often develop the latest slang. For example, to say Special English “rocks” or is “phat” means Special English is really great. A “kegger” is a party where beer is served. If something is “wack”, it is wild and crazy.
Different professions often have their own slang as well. For example, medical workers might refer to a complaining patient as a “gomer”. A “tough stick” is someone whose veins are difficult to find when he or she needs to have blood taken.
No matter how well you speak English, there are always new and interesting slang words to discover. There are entire dictionaries for describing slang. Many experts do not even agree on what is and what is not slang. Often slang words later become a part of officially accepted language. Official or not, slang is an energetic and exciting part of the American language that continues to change.
24. Which of the following is NOT true for slang compared with the official language
A. Playful. B. Direct.
C. Less respectful. D. More official.
25. It can be inferred from the passage that______.
A. if you speak English very well, there is no problem for you to understand English speakers
B. slang words are created by people in their daily life
C. English speakers are clear whether it is a slang
D. slang words will never be accepted as official language
26. Which of the following is not mentioned to have helped create slang
A. The internet. B. Young people.
C. President of the United States. D. Professions.
27. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage
A. What is slang B. Slang is popular.
C. Who creates slang D. Slang is a language.
【答案】24. D 25. B 26. C 27. A

Our wedding was about to begin. My throat was tight and my cheeks got red, but I didn’t care. I was ready to marry David Sanchez. We’re a “nontraditional” couple: getting married not at a church but in a bookstore that supports a charity to fight H.I.V. and homelessness.
“Kim! I could walk you down the aisle(走廊) if you like!” David’s father offered gently.
“I’m OK. But I appreciate that,” I said with a smile. And I was reminded, again, of my dad’s absence.
My father died of cancer six weeks ago. For the last two months, we tried to make him feel comfortable and loved as he departed from this world. He always told us that he didn’t like a funeral(葬礼) and insisted our wedding go forward as planned. But how could we honour him since the wedding would be the first time the family would gather after his death and some even didn’t know he was sick
During the ceremony, my dear friend Eva delivered a reading entitled “When Things Go Missing” by Kathryn Schulz. She paused and got everyone on the same page: “When we are experiencing it, loss often feels like confusion in the usual order of things. In fact, the entire plan of the universe consists of losing, and life amounts to a reverse(逆向的) savings account in which we are eventually robbed of everything.”
I felt the energy full of the room. Everyone was listening. By choosing to accept the pain, we knew what a wedding does to join two families and mark the next chapter for a couple. Loss became a compass that pointed us away from a fantasy and toward celebrating the difficult realities of life.
After rings were exchanged, fried chicken was served, our friends offered so many funny and touching toasts, and finally David sang “Married” on my father’s guitar. I felt joy filling all the holes in my soul. Celebrating my father’s life at our wedding made me grateful for all the time I had spent with him, because it all goes by so fast.
28. What do we know about Kim at her wedding
A. She got a compass as a wedding gift.
B. She enjoyed David’s promise for their marriage.
C. She received more sympathy from families and friends.
D. She recalled the days spent with her father and understood life better.
29. Why did Kim feel energy full of the room
A. Because she could keep from the pain.
B. Because she knew everyone was listening.
C. Because she got more courage for marriage and life.
D. Because she could read a piece of Kathryn Schulz’s works.
30. What do we know about Kim and David’s wedding ceremony
A. It was held at a church.
B. It was a touching and happy one.
C. Kim and David turned it into a funeral.
D. There was no other activity except reading.
31. Why did David’s father offer to walk the author down the aisle
A. To relieve her tension.
B. To welcome her to his family.
C. To play the author’s late father’s role.
D. To contribute something to the charity.
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. C
【解析】

【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“I felt the energy full of the room. Everyone was listening. By choosing to accept the pain, we knew what a wedding does to join two families and mark the next chapter for a couple.

(我感到房间里充满了能量。每个人都在听。通过选择接受痛苦,我们知道了一场婚礼是如何将两个家庭结合在一起,并标志着一对夫妇的下一个篇章。失去成了一个指南针,指引我们远离幻想,去庆祝生活中艰难的现实。)”可知,因为Kim对婚姻和生活有了更多的勇气,所以她感到充满了能量。故选C项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。简短介绍了大不列颠及北爱尔兰联合王国(UK)的发展史。
【56题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:联合王国由四个国家组成。根据语境及常识可知,此处陈述的是客观事实,故应用一般现在时,句子主语和谓语之间为被动关系,故应用被动语态,且主语是第三人称单数。故填is made。
【57题详解】
考查冠词。句意:它有一段有趣而悠久的历史。结合句意可知,表示history表示“一段(种)历史”为可数名词,其前无限定词,可用不定冠词,空后interesting的发音以元音音素开头。故填an。
【58题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:在这个国家,无论你走到哪里,你都会被历史上四个不同时期的人掌权的证据所包围。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,指代先行词four different groups of people,空处在从句中作主语,应用关系代词which/that引导。故填who/that。
【59题详解】
考查词形转换。句意:罗马人的一些伟大成就包括建造城镇和道路,出现在公元一世纪。分析句子结构可知,空处应用名词形式,achievement作“成就,成绩”讲时,是可数名词,因其前有some of,故用名词的复数形式achievements。故填achievements。
【60题详解】
考查序数词。句意:到了五世纪时,盎格鲁—撒克逊人到来,他们引入了英语这门语言,并改变了人们盖房子的方式。根据句意,表示哪个世纪应用序数词。故填fifth。
【61题详解】
考查时态。句意:他们留下了许多新词汇,以及英国各地的许多地名。由语境可知,此处叙述的是过去发生的事情,且全文主时态为一般过去时态,所以应用一般过去时,句子主语与谓语间为主动关系。故填left。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他们在那里周围建了城堡。分析句子结构可知,这是一个“have+宾语+宾补”结构,build和castles之间为逻辑上的动宾关系,应使用过去分词作宾补。故填built。
【63题详解】
考查副词。句意:诺曼人实际上是法国人,所以很多法语单词慢慢地进入了英语。分析句子结构可知,句中entered 为动词,应用副词修饰。故填slowly。
【64题详解】
考查形容词。句意:英国是历史与现代文化的迷人结合体。分析句子结构可知,空处修饰名词mix,所处应用形容词fascinating表示“迷人的,极有吸引力的”作定语。故填fascinating。
【65题详解】
考查连词。句意:如果你睁大眼睛,你会惊奇地发现你既能看到它的过去,也能看到它的现在。分析句子结构可知,此处为固定短语both A and B意为“A和B都……”符合句意。故填and。

【答案】
Dear Professor Smith,
I am Li Hua, chairman of the student union of Guangming Middle School. Representing our school, I’m writing to convey my sincere appreciation to you for the lecture you gave us last week.
Through your lecture, we have learned that body language is one of the most effective methods of expressing our feelings. For example, smiling is the most universal expression of happiness. Looking away from a person means showing no interest in the person. However, not all cultures greet people in the same way. I do believe the knowledge will be very beneficial when we communicate with people from other countries.
Thank you again for your wonderful lecture.
Yours,
LiHua.

67. 读后续写
As Hurricane Ian bore down on Florida, many residents who decided to stay found themselves unable to leave.
When the water slipped in under the door of their home in Naples, Florida, it was just a sign that it was time to go.
It was around noon on Wednesday, September 28 last year and Darcy Bishop woke up her two brothers who had been resting after lunch. She pulled the wheelchair up to the oldest, Russell Rochow, 66. Her other brother, Todd Rochow, 63, was in his room, changing clothes. He could manage with a walker.
Both men had been born with disabilities, and their mental development was like that of a young child. But they found joy in their surroundings. Russell loved riding the bus and going to parks. Todd liked collecting cans at the beach and playing on the boat in the neighbor, Hance Walters’ home. Bishop, 61, was their lifeline, their little sister who had long felt a duty to keep them safe.
“We’ve got to get going!” she shouted to Todd. She went to open the front door. It would not move. The weight of the water on the other side had shut it tight.
She rushed to try the door to the garage, where Todd’s walker was stored. It, too, was stuck.
That’s when the house the three brothers shared began to flood.
The only way to go was up
Bishop guided Todd to the stairs, and he grabbed the banister(栏杆). She helped him pull himself slowly up to the top where he waited in a chair.
But stairs were impossible for Russell, who could neither walk nor bend his stiff legs.
Bishop dragged on the belt around Russell’s waist, but he was nearly 77 kilograms. She tried every position possible, switching from pushing to pulling, and managed to get him up a few carpeted steps.
But the water followed.
Bishop called 911 and was told someone would come soon. But out the window she could already see furniture, boats and cars floating by.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Meanwhile, Bishop was crazy and desperate.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At around 6:30 p. m., Russell said, “Somebody’s downstairs.”
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Meanwhile, Bishop was crazy and desperate. She would pull Russell up one step, only to see the water rise with them. Her nervousness was comforted by Russell’s funny behavior. Grabbing the banister, he counted the pictures on the wall. “Look, Darcy: one, two, three, four.” “That’s very good, Russ” Bishop said with tears rolling down her cheeks. It took them a good hour, but they finally made it up eight steps to the first small landing, then three steps to the second, and then a handful of steps more. She sat down beside him, and waited.
At around 6:30 p. m., Russell said, “Somebody’s downstairs.” Full of hope, Bishop called out, “Hello ! Hello ! Who’s there ” It was her neighbour, Hance Walters. Learning she was in trouble, Walters went to his house and fetched a boat. Bishop tried to bring her brothers outside. There, they were lifted into the boats. Todd and Russell were safe. They have not said much about the sufferings they survived, only saying that they wanted things to return to normal. “I don’t want no more hurricane” they both repeated.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了飓风“伊恩”袭击佛罗里达州时,Darcy Bishop和自己的两个哥哥被困在家中,后来得到邻居救助的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“与此同时,Bishop又疯狂又绝望。”以及第二段首句内容“下午6点半左右,Russell说:“有人在楼下。””可知,第一段可描写Bishop如何进行自救,深感无助和绝望。
②由第二段首句内容“下午6点半左右,Russell说:“有人在楼下。”可知,第二段可描写Bishop和自己的两个哥哥终于得救了。
2.续写线索:飓风袭击,被困在家中——Bishop的两个哥哥智力就像两个小孩子——Bishop带着哥哥们准备离开——发现无法离开房子——Todd的助步车卡在了车库里——Bishop将Todd带到楼上——Russell既不会走路,也不会弯曲腿——Bishop感到很绝望,只有拖着Russell慢慢爬楼梯——Bishop带着两个哥哥好不容易爬到了高处——楼下终于传来了声音——在邻居的帮助下,三人终于安全了
3.词汇激活

①得知:learn/know
②努力做某事:try to do sth/make every effort to do sth.

Slang is a popular, less official and often very current form of language. It is an important part of a living language and is constantly changing as language changes. Slang is often playful, direct and sometimes less respectful than the more official and traditional version of language. So now I'm going to lay it on you! To “lay it on” is American slang for “to tell” or “to explain.”
Slang can take many forms. For example, slang can be local to one city or area. In Washington, D.C. there is a whole set of slang to describe politics and business in the city. For example, the term POTUS stands for President of the United States. POTUS can often be found with his wife, FLOTUS, the first lady of the United States. “Inside the Beltway” is a popular expression that describes the area of Washington, D.C. The beltway is the large highway that circles the city.
The Internet has helped create a whole new kind of computer-related slang. An “angry fruit salad” is an expression that describes a website with too many bright colors. “Netiquette” is slang for correct behavior when using the Internet.
Young people often develop the latest slang. For example, to say Special English “rocks” or is “phat” means Special English is really great. A “kegger” is a party where beer is served. If something is “wack”, it is wild and crazy.
Different professions often have their own slang as well. For example, medical workers might refer to a complaining patient as a “gomer”. A “tough stick” is someone whose veins are difficult to find when he or she needs to have blood taken.
No matter how well you speak English, there are always new and interesting slang words to discover. There are entire dictionaries for describing slang. Many experts do not even agree on what is and what is not slang. Often slang words later become a part of officially accepted language. Official or not, slang is an energetic and exciting part of the American language that continues to change.
24. Which of the following is NOT true for slang compared with the official language
A. Playful. B. Direct.
C. Less respectful. D. More official.
25. It can be inferred from the passage that______.
A. if you speak English very well there is no problem for you to understand English speakers
B. slang words are created by people in their daily life
C. English speakers are clear whether it is a slang
D. slang words will never be accepted as official language
26. Which of the following is not mentioned to have helped create slang
A. The internet. B. Young people.
C. President of the United States. D. Professions.
27. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage
A. What is slang B. Slang is popular.
C. Who creates slang D. Slang is a language.
C
Our wedding was about to begin. My throat was tight and my cheeks got red, but I didn’t care. I was ready to marry David Sanchez. We’re a “nontraditional” couple: getting married not at a church but in a bookstore that supports a charity to fight H.I.V. and homelessness.
“Kim! I could walk you down the aisle(走廊) if you like!” David’s father offered gently.
“I’m OK. But I appreciate that,” I said with a smile. And I was reminded, again, of my dad’s absence.
My father died of cancer six weeks ago. For the last two months, we tried to make him feel comfortable and loved as he departed from this world. He always told us that he didn’t like a funeral(葬礼) and insisted our wedding go forward as planned. But how could we honour him since the wedding would be the first time the family would gather after his death and some even didn’t know he was sick
During the ceremony, my dear friend Eva delivered a reading entitled “When Things Go Missing” by Kathryn Schulz. She paused and got everyone on the same page: “When we are experiencing it, loss often feels like confusion in the usual order of things. In fact, the entire plan of the universe consists of losing, and life amounts to a reverse(逆向的) savings account in which we are eventually robbed of everything.”
I felt the energy full of the room. Everyone was listening. By choosing to accept the pain, we knew what a wedding does to join two families and mark the next chapter for a couple. Loss became a compass that pointed us away from a fantasy and toward celebrating the difficult realities of life.
After rings were exchanged, fried chicken was served, our friends offered so many funny and touching toasts, and finally David sang “Married” on my father’s guitar.

67. 读后续写
As Hurricane Ian bore down on Florida, many residents who decided to stay found themselves unable to leave.
When the water slipped in under the door of their home in Naples, Florida, it was just a sign that it was time to go.
It was around noon on Wednesday, September 28 last year and Darcy Bishop woke up her two brothers who had been resting after lunch. She pulled the wheelchair up to the oldest, Russell Rochow, 66. Her other brother, Todd Rochow, 63, was in his room, changing clothes. He could manage with a walker.
Both men had been born with disabilities, and their mental development was like that of a young child. But they found joy in their surroundings. Russell loved riding the bus and going to parks. Todd liked collecting cans at the beach and playing on the boat in the neighbor, Hance Walters’ home. Bishop, 61, was their lifeline, their little sister who had long felt a duty to keep them safe.
“We’ve got to get going!” she shouted to Todd. She went to open the front door. It would not move. The weight of the water on the other side had shut it tight.
She rushed to try the door to the garage, where Todd’s walker was stored. It, too, was stuck.
That’s when the house the three brothers shared began to flood.
The only way to go was up.
Bishop guided Todd to the stairs, and he grabbed the banister(栏杆). She helped him pull himself slowly up to the top where he waited in a chair.
But stairs were impossible for Russell, who could neither walk nor bend his stiff legs.
Bishop dragged on the belt around Russell’s waist, but he was nearly 77 kilograms. She tried every position possible, switching from pushing to pulling, and managed to get him up a few carpeted steps.
But the water followed.
Bishop called 911 and was told someone would come soon. But out the window she could already see furniture, boats and cars floating by.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Meanwhile, Bishop was crazy and desperate.

At around 6:30 p. m., Russell said, “Somebody’s downstairs.”
