　　語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。女性回到學校學習，不僅對個人而且對社會都有很多好處。

　　1．are employed　因為這句話的主語College graduates和employ之間是動賓關系，所以此處應填employ的被動語態；再根據上下文的語境可知，此處應用一般現在時，且主語是復數。故此處應填are employed。

　　2．less　根據上文中的“more”可知，此處應填little的比較級形式，即less。

　　3．being supported　因為前面有介詞“from”，所以此處應用動名詞結構作賓語。句意：由被人養轉變成自己養自己可能是一個挑戰，但這是必要的。根據語境可知，此處應填being supported。

　　4．but　根據語境可知，空格前后之間是轉折關系，因此此處應填but。

　　5．independence　根據下文中的“is”可知，此處應填其名詞形式作主語， (in)dependence為不可數名詞。故應填independence。

　　6．it　此處用it作形式賓語，后面的動詞不定式結構作真正的賓語。所有代詞中，只有it有此用法。故填it。

　　7．or　either ... or ...是固定結構，意為“或者……或者……”。

　　8．if　句意：如果你受過良好的教育，那你就能比以前做得好許多。根據語境可知，此處應用if引導條件狀語從句。

　　9．the　根據“education”后面的內容可知，此處的“教育”應是特指，故此處應填the。

　　10．whether　句意：問題在于你此時是否準備好去追求這樣的教育。根據語境可知，此處應用whether引導表語從句。

　　Dear Mr. President，

　　Our class has been studying a unit on first aid. It has been very useful because we have learnt about what to do to help someone who has had an accident.

　　Even though the unit is very interesting and useful, we would like to be able to do a first aid course. Because it would give information about many more situations. It would also give us the chance to practice first aid treatments.

　　I suggest that the school should organize a first aid course. We think such a course at the school is a necessary part of our education and will make us more useful members of our society. Perhaps we will even save someone's life one day.

　　Best regards!

　　Yours sincerely，

　　Li Hua

　　Ⅰ.閱讀理解

　　(2024·甘肅省高三第一次診斷)When Shakespeare was twenty-one, he went to London, a very interesting place, to try his fortune.

　　There were the famous London Bridge and St. Paul's Cathedral, and palaces and markets and long streets full of shops.

　　Then, too, there were the daily crowds where could be seen people from all over the world. Knights, scholars and highwaymen (攔路強盜) or thieves who had been infamous for their clever robberies, passed by each other.

　　Here, also, were noblemen dressed in gold, from Italy, Spain and France; slaves from Spanish America, sea captains and ministers, soldiers and servants — all held by chances or interests within the gray walls which circled London, and whose gates gave welcome to as strange a crowd as could be found in the world.

　　Into this curious crowd came Shakespeare, quick to see and eager to learn. And before long all these strange sights were as familiar to him as the faces of his own town's residents. Each one told its story to him so plainly that, as before he had learned the secrets of the fields and woods, so now he learned men and men's interests that make up the great world.

　　And he learned these lessons so well that when he came to write his plays, he made such use of them as no writer ever made before or since; for it is the use of this knowledge of the world, combined with his own genius, that makes Shakespeare the greatest dramatist that has ever lived.

　　語篇解讀：本文是一篇人物傳記，本文主要講述了莎士比亞到倫敦后的經歷，他很快適應了那里的生活，并把自己所觀察到的事情融入自己的創作中。

　　1．What was London like in Shakespeare's eyes when he first went there?

　　A．Dirty and small.　B．Strange and interesting.

　　C．Infamous and terrible.

　　D．Familiar and modern.

　　解析：選B　細節理解題。根據第一段中的“a very interesting place”和第五段中的“all these strange sights”可知，在Shakespeare的眼中，倫敦是一個有趣而陌生的城市，即B項正確。

　　2．Which of the following best describes Shakespeare?

　　A．Shakespeare got inspiration to write from his hometown, London.

　　B．Shakespeare was eager to make friends with the noblemen in London.

　　C．Shakespeare was good at observing and learning from the daily life.

　　D．Shakespeare became the greatest dramatist owing to his own genius.

　　解析：選C　推理判斷題。根據第五段可知，Shakespeare來到倫敦不久之后，通過觀察和學習了解了倫敦，并適應了那里的生活，由此可推斷出，Shakespeare擅長觀察日常生活并從中學習，故C項正確。

　　3．What does the underlined word “one” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A．Crowd.

　　B．Sight.

　　C．Face.

　　D．Resident.

　　解析：選B　代詞指代題。畫線詞后的“as before he had learned the secrets of the fields and woods”的意思為“正如他以前所學到的田野和樹林的秘密那樣”，根據這句話可知，one 指的是像田野和樹林一樣的景象，故B項正確。

　　4．The passage probably comes from ________.

　　A．a poster

　　B．a textbook

　　C．an advertisement

　　D．an announcement

　　解析：選B　推理判斷題。本文主要講述了莎士比亞到倫敦的經歷，所以這篇文章最有可能出現在一本教材中，故B項正確。

　　Ⅱ.閱讀七選五
