本文简要介绍了《哈利波特》作者J.K.罗琳的家庭情况、怎样和何时对故事产生兴趣的以及《哈利波特》系列丛书取得成功的原因和过程。
【1】句意:J.K罗琳是《哈利波特》的作者,是世界上最优秀的销售者之一。A项为“好的”,是原级形式;B项为good的比较级;C、D项为good的最高级;根据语境,本句应使用“one of+the+形容词最高级+名词复数”的用法,意为“最…的之一”。由于形容词最高级前的定冠词the不可省略,故选D项。
【2】句意:两个女孩都喜欢听他们爸爸的枕边故事。A项意为“听”,是不及物动词,加宾语是需要加介词to;B项意为“说”,通常指说某种语言;C项为listen的现在分词形式;D项为speak的现在分词形式。本题考查like的动词短语,like to do和like doing都可以表示喜欢做某事,前者表示短暂性,后者表示习惯性。依据like的短语,可知A、B项错误,根据语境,应是听爸爸的枕边故事,而不是说,故选C项。
【3】句意:罗琳在六岁时写出了她的第一篇故事。本题考查固定短语at the age of…意为“在几岁时”,故选B项。
【4】句意:在1992年,罗琳开始为年轻读者们写第一本《哈利波特》。A项为“写”的动词原形;B为过去式;C为不定式形式;D为过去分词形式。本题考查begin的动词短语:begin to do和begin doing,两者都表示开始做某事,前者强调事情未做,后者强调正在做,根据短语要求,只能选C。
【5】句意:在1992年,罗琳开始为年轻读者们写第一本《哈利波特》。A作家;B司机;C歌手;D读者。本句提到Harry Potter book说明《哈利波特》是书籍,故本空选D。
【6】句意:现在《哈利波特》系列受到各个年龄段人的欢迎,大约有六千万本书在大约200个国家里被卖掉。A为good的最高级,意为“最好的”;B“受欢迎的”;C“高兴地”;D“忙碌的”。本题考查固定短语be popular with..意为“受…的欢迎”,根据语境,可判断选B。
【7】句意:现在《哈利波特》系列受到各个年龄段人的欢迎,大约有六千万本书在大约200个国家里被卖掉。选项中million意为“百万”,其有两种用法:(1)用在基数词后,但million不可以加s,如500万应说成:five million;(2)构成millions of固定短语,意为“数以百万计的”,million必须加s,且短语后的名词应为复数形式。本空前已出现基数词sixty,本题故选A项。
【8】句意:那就是为什么《哈利波特》系列会如此受欢迎。前文提到哈利是一个普通的男孩:有礼貌、友善、勇敢和睿智,当孩子们读关于哈利的故事时,他们会想象成为像哈利一样的人。A“什么时候”;B“哪里”;C“为什么”;D“什么”。根据前文语境,本题故用why引导表语从句,故选C。
【9】句意:J.K.罗琳很为成功而高兴。A“伤心的”;B“焦虑的”;C“不开心的”;D“开心的”根据后文Now she's really enjoying life.她很享受生活,可知她一定是因为取得了成功而开心,故选D项。补充:be happy with为固定短语,意为“因…而开心”。
【10】句意:她说她会继续写孩子们的书。A为write“写”的原形形式;B项为过去式;C项为现在分词形式;D项为不定式形式。go on doing sth.和go on to do都表示继续做某事,前者强调“继续不停地做某事或间断后继续做原来没有做完的事”,后者强调“接着做另一件事”,即接下去做与原来不同的一件事。根据本题语境,只能选C。

【题目】Every hour spent watching TV, DVDs and videos as an adult reduces life by almost 22 minutes, a study suggests. And watching TV for an average of six hours a day can cut short your life by five years.
The researchers say they only want to tell people how dangerous watching TV for long time is. And they want to find out the relationship between watching TV and life.
Writing in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, they concluded(得出结论): TV watching time may have something to do with a loss of life.
The researchers, from the University of Queensland, used information from the Australian illnesses and lifestyle study, together with population and death rate data. But they said, “While we used Australian data, the effects in other countries are likely to be comparable(可比较的). In the UK, the average amount of time spent watching TV is four hours a day compared with five hours in the United States.
Some American researchers said that watching TV for long time can lead premature(过早的)death. Other study suggests that sitting for long can cause overweight and it can also make people take more junk foods.
England’s Chief Medical Officer, Sally Davies, says, “Physical activity offers huge benefits. We hope these studies will help more people realize that there are many ways to get exercise.” Her study shows that exercising for just 15 minutes a day can increase your life by up to three years.

【题目】Car accidents happen everywhere every day and are the main cause of injury in the United States. In order to control the increasing accidents, many states have passed tough laws. Also, car manufacturers(生产商) have been trying to make safer cars to save lives.
However, as there are more and more cars and drivers on the road, these safety measures are not enough to stop the increasing car accidents. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration(管理部门) reports that a car accident happens every 10 seconds in the United States.
Car accidents may be caused by different reasons. Some accidents are caused by the driver's tiredness and illness or drunk driving. Some may be caused by speeding or running a red light. When this happens, by the time the driver realizes what has happened, it is usually too late. As for ages, young drivers usually don't have enough experience while elderly drivers react slowly. Mechanical defects(机械缺陷) such as a broken brake(刹车) are another cause of car accidents. Poor road and weather conditions can also be causes.
Talking about different causes of car accidents can help us know what precautions(预防措施) to take beforehand. We should tell our friends or family members not to drive in poor health or after drinking wine. We should tell teenage drivers to be careful with road and weather conditions and let elderly friends understand their driving limitation. Besides, we should have our cars checked regularly(规律地). The most important thing for us to remember, however, is that we should always follow the traffic rules.
【1】What has the government done to try to control the increasing car accidents?
A. They try to make safer cars.
B. They try to build more roads.
C. They have passed tough traffic laws.
D. They make drivers have their cars examined every month.
【2】What does the underlined word “elderly” possibly mean?
A. Middleaged. B. Young.
C. Rather old. D. Teenage.
【3】Which of the following causes is different from the other three?
A. Tiredness. B. Illness.
C. Drunk driving. D. A broken brake.
【4】Which has nothing to do with a driver's age?
A. Teenage drivers.
B. Not knowing the traffic rules.
C. Reacting slowly.
D. Driving experience.
【5】In order to avoid accidents caused by mechanical defects, we should ________.
A. .not run a red light
B. drive the car when we are in good health
C. not drive when we are too old
D. have our cars examined regularly
