review them whenever you have time. The
more you review, the better you will
remember!

English grammar rules are really confusing.
Sometimes I know all the words in a
sentence but I still can’t understand the
whole sentence. I become nervous when I
speak English, too. What should I do?
,
Don’t give up David. As for grammar
rules, I’ve used pictures and tables to help
me, for example with verb tenses. I’ve also
tried to put difficult structures into songs,
but I think the best way to remember
grammar rules is to use them. These
methods work well for me. You can have a
try.

In Ben Elton’s book Gridlock, aliens (外星人) come to our world to learn about people. They look at the
places where we live and work, and how we travel. But they don’t understand cars. They see that every morning
hundreds of millions of people get into big boxes. These boxes take people many kilometers to their workplace.
But often, the big boxes can’t move because there are so many of them. Then, in the evening, the people get into
their boxes and slowly drive home again.
The aliens think this is really strange. Why don’t people travel in the faster boxes they call trains or buses? Or
live near their workplace? Do they like to sit in boxes for hours? Or aren’t they very smart?
The aliens are right. Why don’t we live near our workplace?
It’s often because houses are too expensive in the city. People who lived in the city before have to live outside
it now. But many jobs are in the city center. Cheaper houses in cities are a possible answer to traffic problems.

词义猜测题。根据“These boxes take people many kilometers to their workplace. But often, the big boxes can’t
move because there are so many of them. Then, in the evening, the people get into their boxes and slowly drive
home again.”可知，这些箱子可以把人们送到很远的地方。但通常情况下，大箱子无法移动，因为它们太
多了。然后，到了晚上，人们钻进他们的箱子，慢慢地开车回家。所以这些大箱子们就是我们人类的汽车，
也就是说big boxes的意思是“汽车”。故选D。

细节理解题。根据“The aliens think this is really strange. Why don’t people travel in the faster boxes they call
trains or buses?”可知，外星人觉得这很奇怪。为什么人们不乘坐火车或公共汽车这种更快的交通工具呢？

四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
“Fall” and “Autumn”
第9页/共14页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司What season is it in October? If you ask people from UK, they will tell you it’s “autumn”. But if you go to US,
you will find that people use “autumn” or “fall”.
According to Dictionary.com, both words have been around for a long time, but neither of them was first to
describe this season. During this season, crops would become ripe（成熟） and farmers would have a big harvest.
So in Old English, this season was simply called “harvest”.
Then, in the 1600s, more people left their farms and moved to cities. With fewer people farming, the word
“harvest” became less useful. English speakers needed a different name for the season. They knew leaves fell from
trees during the season, so people started calling it “the fall of the leaf”, or “fall” for short.
But at the end of the 1600s, autumn, from the French word “autompne” and the Latin “autumnus”, came to
English. “Fall” as the word for this season disappeared slowly.
At the same time, people in UK were making their first trip to North America. They brought the words “fall”
and “autumn” with them. That’s why today Americans have two names for one season.
30. What do people call the season in October in UK?
________________________________________
31. Why did people call this season “harvest” in Old English?
________________________________________
32. When did “harvest” become less useful?
________________________________________
33. What word replaced “harvest”?
________________________________________
34. What’s the passage mainly about?
________________________________________
【答案】30. Autumn.
31. Because during this season, crops would become ripe and farmers would have a big harvest.
32. In the 1600s.
33. Fall. 34. It is mainly about the history of the names of the season in October.
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了为何美国人称“秋天”为“autumn”和“fall”，介绍了这两种叫法的起源。
【30题详解】
根据“What season is it in October? If you ask people from UK, they will tell you it’s ‘autumn’.”可知，在英国，
人们在十月叫做“autumn”。故填Autumn.
【31题详解】
根据“During this season, crops would become ripe（成熟） and farmers would have a big harvest.”可知，在这
第10页/共14页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司个季节，庄稼将会成熟，农民将会有一个大丰收，所以在古英语，这个季节只是被叫做harvest。故填
Because during this season, crops would become ripe and farmers would have a big harvest.
【32题详解】
根据“Then, in the 1600s, more people left their farms ... became less useful.”可知，在17世纪，越来越多人不
种庄稼，搬到城市，harvest变得不是很有用了。故填In the 1600s.
【33题详解】
根据“English speakers needed a different name for the season ... started calling it ‘the fall of the leaf’, or ‘fall’ for
short.”可知，人们需要给这个季节一个不同的名字，他们知道在这个季节树叶会从树上落下来，所以人们
开始叫这个季节为fall。故填Fall.
【34题详解】
根据“That’s why today Americans have two names for one season.”可知，短文主要讲的是十月季节名字的来
源。故填It is mainly about the history of the names of the season in October.
五、根据所给中英文提示，写出下列句子。（共8分，每小题2分）
35. 让我们尽可能多地努力说英语吧！
Let’s ________ speak English ________.
【答案】 ①. try to ②. as much as possible
【解析】
【详解】Let’s do sth表示“让我们做某事”；“努力做某事”是动词短语try to do sth，speak为动词，应用
副词来修饰，“尽可能多地”是短语as much as possible，much为副词。故填try to；as much as possible。
36. 不要焦虑。忘记新单词是很正常的。
________. It’s ________ forget new words.
【答案】 ①. Don’t worry ②. normal to
【解析】
【详解】“不要焦虑”用祈使句don’t worry，首字母大写，即Don’t worry；根据“It’s”可知后接形容词作
表语。“很正常的”是形容词normal，It’s+形容词+to do sth表示“做某事是怎么样的”。故填Don’t
worry；normal to。
37. 我的家乡因为传统小吃而闻名。
My home town ________ its ________.
【答案】 ①. is famous for##is known for ②. traditional snacks
【解析】
【详解】be famous/known for“以……而著名”，本句主语是My home town，为单数，时态为一般现在时，

38. 我们希望能踢好球，这样我们就会有更多的机会赢比赛。

【解析】
【详解】“希望踢好球”可译为hope to play well；“有更多的机会”可译为have more chances，根据语境
可知，主句应用一般现在时，且主语为“We”,故第一空hope应用动词原形。第二空前为“will +动词原
形”的结构，故动词have应用原形。故填hope to；have more chances。
