答案与解析

【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。记叙了美国新墨西哥州的历史由来。

1.what　考查名词性从句。根据句子结构可知,from后为宾语从句,从句中缺少主语,故填what。

2.called　考查非谓语动词。call和bridge在逻辑上构成了被动关系,故用过去分词作后置定语。

3.later　考查副词。later作副词,表示“以后;后来”。

4.explorer　考查名词。根据设空处后的Francisco Vazquez de Coronado可知,这是个人名,充当前词的同位语,故填explorer。

5.which/that　考查定语从句引导词。根据句子结构可知,设空处引导定语从句,修饰先行词cities,且在从句中作主语,指物,故填which/that。

6.from　考查介词。independence from...为固定词组,意为“从……独立”。

7.was declared　考查动词的时态和语态。it与declare在逻辑上构成被动关系,且根据in 1912可知,时态为过去时,故填was declared。

8.valuable　考查形容词。“as+形容词原形+as”,表示“和……一样”,故填valuable。

9.named　考查动词的时态。本句是在回顾新墨西哥州州名的由来,动作发生在过去,所以谓语动词用一般过去时。

10.mountains　考查名词复数。mountain是可数名词,再根据后文的”forests and deserts”可知,此处应用复数形式。

Ⅵ.概要写作

阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Work is a very important part of life in the United States.When the early immigrants came to this country,they brought the idea that work was the way to God and heaven.This attitude still influences America today.Work is not only important for the salary,but also for social and psychological needs,the feeling of doing something for the good of the society.Americans spend most of their time working,being productive.For most Americans,they are what they do.What happens,then,when a person retires at the age of sixty-five or seventy?It’s easy to imagine that retirement is no easy thing.Retirees often feel they are unproductive and no longer needed by others.

Once people retire,they may also get into financial trouble.Many people rely on Social Security checks every month.During their working years,employees contribute a certain percentage of their salaries to the government.When people retire,they receive this money as income.These checks do not provide enough money to live on,however,because prices are increasing very rapidly.After retirement,they have to change their lifestyles.They have to spend carefully to be sure that they can afford to buy food,fuel,and other necessities.

Of course,not all senior citizens feel sad when they are in the face of retirement.Working for so many years,they eventually have time to spend with their families or to enjoy their hobbies such as reading,traveling or joining some senior citizen clubs.Some continue to work part time;others choose to do volunteer work like helping young people to get started in new business.

American government is taking steps to ease the problems of retired people.They are building new housing,offering discounts in stores and museums and on buses,and providing other services,such as free courses,food service,and help with housework.It is wise to do so.Retired citizens are an important part of the population and their special needs must be concerned about.After all,everyone will be a senior citizen someday.
