V.短文改错

As we can see, the environment around us is getting worse other than better. Our life and health have affected greatly. The earth is our home, but we have a duty to take care of it, not only for ourselves but for future generations. Fortunate, more and more people have become aware of this problem. Many effectively measures have been taken by the government to deal with them.

As a student, I think we should do what we can improve the environment. First, go to school on feet or by bike as often as possible. Second, turn on the lights and other electrical appliances before leaving the room. Third, never throw rubbish here and there.

It’s time that we do something to protect our environment.

答案与解析：

other改为rather  

have后面接been 

but改为and/so   

Fortunate改为Fortunately

effectively改为effectively 

them改为it    

can后面接to    

feet改为foot    

on改为off      

do改为should do/did

effectively改为effectively  后面有名词measures，故前面使用形容词effective修饰。

them改为it      这里的it就是指前面的this problem。

can后面接to     本句中的不定式to improve…做目的状语。

feet改为foot     固定搭配on foot步行。这里的on foot和by bike是并列关系。

on改为off       固定搭配turn off关闭，turn off the lights关灯。

do改为should do/did  本句是一个虚拟语气，it is time后面的宾语从句使用should+动词原形/过去式。

VI.阅读理解

Sure, you know their names, possibly better than you know the name of the street you live on.When the need comes, these names roll off our tongues like they were our own brothers. I am writing about the famous Webster's Dictionary and Roget's Thesaurus.

When it refers to Webster's Dictionary, many people can respond immediately: Noah Webster. We are aware that he is the father of the dictionary. But who was he? What did he do for a living? When did he live?

Noah was born in 1758, graduated from Yale University in 1778, and later graduated from law school. He produced the first American dictionary in 1806 and published his influential work An American Dictionary of the English Language in 1828. His interests led him to be a lexicographer  (词典编纂者), textbook editor, author, Bible translator and spelling reformer. He also produced a large number of writings in medicine, mythology  (神话),  and the relationship of European and Asian languages. In addition, he founded the first New York daily newspaper in 1793. He died in 1843.

Roget's Thesaurus. It gives us the chance to learn aboutPeter Mark Roget. And who? What? When?

Englishman Peter Roget, MD, was born in 1779. He studied medicine and mathematics at the University of Edinburgh. He is considered as the creator of the first－ever thesaurus. It has been called one of the three most important books ever printed, along with the Bible and Webster's Dictionary. He began his work Thesaurus of English  Words and Phrases in 1805 but did not publish it until 1852—47 years later. In his lifetime, he became a noted lecturer and writer on anatomy(解剖学), geology(地质学), bees and more. When Roget died in 1869 at age 90, his son, John, took over the Thesaurus and he gradually expanded it.

So now you know the two famous books. Not enough information? As a well－known humorist James Thurber suggested in the title of his 1941 short story about baseball, You Could Look It Up!

1．The author states that “these names roll off our tongues” in order to show that people________．

A．will learn from the two writers 

B．have ignored the two writers

C．are familiar with the names 

D．know a lot about the two writers

2．According to the text, Noah Webster and Peter Roget are alike because they both________．

A．had many interests  B．studied medicine

C．were professors  D．liked baseball

3．The purpose of the last paragraph is to________．

A．attract more readers 

B．come to a conclusion

C．encourage further research 

D．provide background information

4．Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?

A.  B.

C.  D.
