()1.______ is often used when we read newspapers quickly to get the general news of the day.
A.Scanning
B.Skimming
C.Predicting
D.Guessing new words

B

本题考查阅读技巧。当我们快速阅读报纸以获取当天的大致新闻时，通常使用的是略读（Skimming）技巧。略读是指快速浏览文章以获取大意，而不是详细阅读每一个单词或句子。A项Scanning是寻读，用于查找特定信息；C项Predicting是预测，指根据标题或已有信息猜测文章内容；D项Guessing new words是根据上下文猜测生词意思。根据题意，快速获取新闻大意应使用略读技巧。

()2.Scanning is often used when we read ______.
A.a bus timetable
B.newspapers
C.magazines
D.travel guides

A

本题可根据scanning（扫读）的特点，结合各选项的阅读目的来判断。scanning是一种快速阅读技巧，目的是从大量信息中迅速找到特定的细节信息。
选项A：公交时刻表，我们在阅读公交时刻表时，通常是为了查找某一趟公交车的具体发车时间、到达时间等特定信息，需要快速浏览找到所需内容，符合scanning的特点。
选项B：读报纸时，我们一般是全面了解新闻内容，获取各种信息，属于泛读，而不是为了查找特定细节的扫读。
选项C：看杂志时，通常也是全面阅读文章内容，属于泛读，并非为了特定细节的扫读。
选项D：旅游指南一般是全面阅读以了解旅游相关信息，属于泛读，不是为了特定细节的扫读。

( )3.If the title is “ Music and Behavior ",we can predict that the passage may be about
.
A.how music is created by people
B.how music changes our behavior
C.different kinds of music and behavior
D.the relationship between music and behavior r

D

题目要求根据标题“Music and Behavior”预测文章内容。标题中的“and”表明两者之间存在关联。A选项“音乐如何被人们创作”仅涉及音乐本身，未提及行为；B选项“音乐如何改变我们的行为”强调音乐对行为的单向影响，而标题未明确方向；C选项“不同种类的音乐和行为”侧重于分类，标题未体现；D选项“音乐和行为之间的关系”准确概括了两者的关联，符合标题含义。

()4.What does “ harmonica ” mean in the following sentence?
People played the blues first with only one or two instruments,for example,a guitar,a
harmonica,or sometimes a piano.
A.胡琴
B.乐器
C.二胡
D.口琴

D

根据句中"for example"后的举例"a guitar, a harmonica, or sometimes a piano"，可知harmonica是与吉他、钢琴并列的具体乐器名称。选项中A“胡琴”、C“二胡”为中国传统乐器，英文对应通常为"huqin"“erhu”；B“乐器”是统称，不符合具体举例；D“口琴”英文为"harmonica"，符合语境。

()5.What does “ unwillingly ” mean in the following sentence?
Calvin said sorry to Trudy unwillingly at last.

A.不开心地
B.不情愿地
C.很开心地
D.很愿意地

B

unwillingly由un-（否定前缀）+willing（愿意的）+ly（副词后缀）构成，意为“不情愿地”。句子“Calvin said sorry to Trudy unwillingly at last.”中，“unwillingly”修饰“said sorry”，结合选项，B选项“不情愿地”符合词义。

()6.Which of the following titles is a correct newspaper headline?
A.Cat show was held in Shanghai
B.Here are some Xi'an travel tips
C.Heavy fog delays flights in Xinjiang
D.The driver killed,eight hurt in bus crash

C

本题要求选出一个正确的新报纸标题。报纸标题通常使用简洁、直接的语言，且多用短语形式，同时时态常使用一般现在时来呈现新闻事件。A选项“Cat show was held in Shanghai”使用了过去时态，且为完整句子，不符合报纸标题特点；B选项“Here are some Xi'an travel tips”是完整的祈使句，也不符合报纸标题的简洁性和短语形式要求；D选项“The driver killed, eight hurt in bus crash”缺少必要的介词等连接成分，在语法和表达上不够规范。而C选项“Heavy fog delays flights in Xinjiang”使用了一般现在时，以短语形式简洁明了地表达了新闻事件，符合报纸标题的特点。

()7.What does the underlined word mean in the following sentence?
It was starting to go rotten,and the whole house smelt terrible.

A.sweet
B.tasty
C.bad
D.well

C

题干中提到“It was starting to go rotten, and the whole house smelt terrible.”意思是“它开始腐烂了，整个房子闻起来很糟糕”。由此可知“rotten”这个词描述的是一种不好的、变质的状态，与“bad”意思相符。A选项“sweet”是甜的；B选项“tasty”是美味的；D选项“well”作形容词时表示身体好的等意思，均不符合语境。

()8.What does the underlined word mean in the following sentence?
It was Sunday,so there were many pedestrians walking along Nanjing Road.

A.animals
B.cars and buses
C.bicycles
D.people

D

在这个句子“It was Sunday, so there were many pedestrians walking along Nanjing Road.”中，关键在于理解句子的语境及单词“pedestrians”在句中的作用。句子的意思是“今天是星期天，所以南京路上有许多_____在走”。根据常识和语境，星期天路上会有很多人在行走。接下来分析选项：A项“animals”意为动物，显然不符合语境；B项“cars and buses”意为汽车和公交车，这些是车辆，不是行走的人；C项“bicycles”意为自行车，同样不是行走的人；D项“people”意为人，符合语境中“行走的人”的描述。因此，可以确定“pedestrians”在这里的意思是“人”。
