　　Our Community

　　One Tuesday evening in the beginning of the fall 1996 semester (學期) at Shippensburg University, sirens sounded. These sirens were not in celebration; they were a cry to the university that something was wrong. A house, only one block away, was on fire. Nine of the university’s students lived there.

　　From the minute the word got out that help was needed, it seemed like everyone showed up. The victims (受災者) of the fire were offered endless invitations for housing for the night. The very next day, everyone got_into_gear to do their part in helping them. Flyers(＝ handbills) were posted with items that were immediately needed, just to get these students through this next couple of days. Boxes for donations (捐贈品) and money jars were placed in every residence hall (學生宿舍)．

　　As a residence director, I went before the students in my hall to ask them to do what they could. I knew that college students don’t have much, but I asked them to do their best: “Every little bit will help.” I really didn’t think they could do much. I was proved wrong.

　　At the hall council meeting the night after the fire, my residents decided to have a wing competition, where each wing of the building would team up to see who could bring in the most donations. I announced that the wing who won would receive a free pizza party.

　　Thursday evening we announced over the PA system that we were beginning the wing competition. Within minutes, the place exploded. The single large box that I had placed in the lobby (大廳) was overflowing. We quickly grabbed more boxes, and we watched in_amazement as they, too, filled to the brim(邊；沿). Members of the resident assistant staff and I began to count the items. I was astonished by what I saw, and I was inspired by these kids.

　　When we came to the final tally(得分), the winners turned to me and announced that they would like to donate their winnings as well. They wanted the victims of the fire to have their pizza party.

　　Tears welled up in my eyes. I had watched these students jump to action, work tirelessly and donate all that they could. And then, as if that were not enough, they handed over their reward. I was touched and so very proud of them.

　　24．The writer mainly wanted to________ by the story.

　　A．tell us nine of the college students suffered from a fire

　　B．sing praise of the college students helping the victims selflessly

　　C．describe how successful the wing competition was

　　D．express he was deeply moved by the college students’ action

　　25．The phrase “get into gear” in the second paragraph means ________.

　　A．start working

　　B．take measures

　　C．be ready

　　D．be eager

　　26．At first, the residence director thought ________.

　　A．it was impossible to expect the college students to donate anything

　　B．it was easy to collect a lot of donations from the college students

　　C．the college students would donate something, but not much

　　D．the college students would donate all they could

　　27．The wing competition was held ________.

　　A．several days after the fire

　　B．the night after the fire

　　C．a week after the fire

　　D．two days after the fire

　　28．The phrase “in amazement” in Paragraph 5 means ________.

　　A．satisfactorily

　　B．excitedly

　　C．surprisedly

　　D．happily

　　Ⅳ.閱讀填空

　　閱讀短文，根據所讀內容在表中的空格處填上適當的單詞或短語。注意：每空不超過3個單詞。

　　When I opened my e－mail the other day, a pretty woman named Rachel appeared on my computer screen. She greeted me by name and started talking with great enthusiasm. Every now and then she stopped to smile at me or blow a kiss. She was reading to me an e－mail from my brother, and a lot of it was about his getting the phone company to give him a high－speed Internet connection. It was pretty cool.

　　Rachel was there thanks to a new technology called Facemail. Facemail lets you send e－mails that can be read to the receiver by an attractive male or female or by a clown. The software, which is free, can be downloaded at www.Facemail.com.

　　Facemail faces are lifelike, and they copy emotions based on the ones that you put in your text. For example, type in X, and Rachel blows a kiss.

　　Life FX, the company that develops the Facemail, is sure that there are broad business uses. The reason e－business is not popular, the company says, is that buying over the Internet lacks the human touch. But what if you went to the Nike website and Michael Jordan greeted you by name, waited on you and personally closed the sale? Besides, the company is talking with Whirlpool Company about the technology in a computer screen on a fridge. Then if Mom can’t be at home when the kids get back from school, she can leave a note with voice and image telling them what there is to eat.

　　Facemail could get hot fast. Personally, I am a fan. But Facemail should be used with words in an e－mail and add angry emotions when you’ve got junk mails.

　　Title: A New Technology on __29__

　　　Ⅰ. My findings：

　　· I was greeted by __30__ on my computer when I opened my e－mail the other day；

　　②It may be used in a computer screen __36__ to help mothers；

　　　Ⅲ. My personal __37__ about Facemail：

　　· It could get hot fast；

　　· It should be used with words in an e－mail；

　　課時作業(十四)

　　Ⅰ.1.A　考查冠詞。很多同學錯在第二個空to make _______ first impression上了。在做題的時候不夠細心，因為此題的句意是：第一印象是最持久的。畢竟，你永遠不可能再有一次機會去給別人留一次第一印象。本題強調的重點是“再有一次機會”a second chance；“留第一印象”用make the first impression表示。first為干擾因素。

　　2．D　考查動詞詞義辨析。句意：主要以夏洛克·福爾摩斯而取得非凡成功的柯南道爾以偵探小說正沖擊著市場。flow“流動”；control“控制”；charge“要價，索價；控告”；flood“淹沒；充滿；溢出；涌出”。根據句意可知選擇D項。

　　3．B　題意：我們若不能增加貨物的銷售量，明年就必須降低百分之十產量。 cut back on“削減，縮減”，是固定短語。by常用來表示程度和范圍增減的幅度，符合題意。to表示減少或增加到。

　　4．B　考查run out和run out of的用法。run out of 是及物動詞短語，后接賓語；run out是不及物動詞短語，不能跟賓語，也沒有被動語態，根據題意可知，選擇B項。

　　5．C　考查非謂語動詞。句意為：校園槍殺事件傳遍了整個縣，也引起了人們對學生在校安全的關注。The campus shooting和lead之間是主謂關系，并作spread的伴隨狀語，所以用leading。

　　6．C　考查數量詞和主謂一致。a number of后跟可數名詞復數，quantity of后可跟可數名詞復數也可跟不可數名詞，所以首先排除A和B，再根據quantity，謂語動詞用單數，如果是quantities時，謂語動詞則用復數形式。

　　7．D　考查名詞性從句和定語從句。句意：大家都知道，這個生活一度困難的善良女孩仍然堅持每天幫助周圍的老人。第一空引導主語從句，同時也作knows的賓語，所以選用what。第二空引導表語從句，用that。第三空引導定語從句，指代先行詞the kind girl，也作為for的賓語，所以用whom。

　　8．D　考查倍數表達。the number of…作主語時，其表語要用large，不能用many；倍數詞應放在同級比較句型中第一個as之前，綜上所述本題應選D。

　　9．D　is為謂語動詞，因此應當用動名詞短語作主語；concerning “有關的，關于”。根據題意應選D。

　　10．C　cut down

　　砍倒/減縮(費用); cut off 切掉，割。根據題意“在產品方面縮減”，應選C。

　　11．A　grow to 增加到(同become)；grow up 長大；grow into 變成。根據題意應選A。

　　12．A　考查代詞。句意：大家都清楚他考試不作弊是不可能獲得滿分的。It在句中作形式主語，真正的主語是后面的that從句。

　　13．B　考查非謂語動詞。根據句子結構可知，主句的主語是the boy，而tears則是flow的邏輯主語。在英語中兩個句子主語不一致時，需要用獨立結構來表達，即tears flowing down his cheeks quietly。原句為The boy was having an operation on the stomach and tears were flowing down his cheeks quietly.

　　14．C　考查交際用語。句意：“真倒霉。他們沒有錄用我。”“怎么會是那樣？你已為面試做好了充分準備。”So what那又怎么樣呢？What if如果……將會怎么樣？How come怎么會是那樣？ What about怎么樣？

　　15．B　考查非謂語動詞。句意：莉莉的手機意外地忘在出租車里了，再也沒有找到過。手機再也沒有被找到，故用被動語態，所以用never to be found作結果狀語。

　　Ⅱ.16.an　沼氣是一種強而有力的溫室氣體，故填an。

　　17．which　該空引導非限制性定語從句，指代前面整句內容，故填which。

　　18．it　該空指“a hamburger”，故填it。

　　19．less　根據“at least in terms of the amount of greenhouse gases released”推斷填less。

　　20．However　根據前后的轉折關系可判斷填However。

　　21．on　on the planet意為“在地球上”。

　　22．So　根據前后的因果關系可判斷該空填So。

　　23．out　as it turns out結果是，結果證明。

　　Ⅲ.本文是記敘文。全文敘述了在救災捐助活動中，大學生的積極表現，以此贊揚他們正義的精神。

　　24．B　主旨大意題。作者寫此文章意在通過救災捐助活動歌頌大學生忘我的助人為樂精神，描述場面是手段，頌揚精神是目的。

　　25．A　詞義猜測題。整段敘述救災的緊急行動情況和大家的積極性，四個選項中只有A項的意思能和前后文統一起來。

　　26．C　細節理解題。作者原先的想法在第三段I knew that college students don’t have much, but I asked them to do their best: “Every little bit will help.”體現出來。

　　27．D　細節理解題。星期二晚上發生火災，星期四晚上搞募捐比賽，即募捐比賽是在災后兩天搞的。
