1．解析: a在单数可数名词前用不定冠词表示泛指, 这里泛指“任何一场比赛”. 注意: play后接球类运动的名词时不用冠词. 答案: a

2．解析: 由最高级the most points (最多分) 可以推知, 12个队参加比赛, 分数最多的只能是其中的一个队. 答案: one

3．解析: 指12个队中除一个最多分之外的“另外的”11个队. 答案: other

4．解析: 与得分最多的那个队相比, 另外的这所有的11个队的得分都会“更少”. 答案: fewer

5．解析: 引导主语从句, 并在主语从句中作do的宾语. 句中系动词后作表语的不定式省略了to, 因为主语部分有do, 作表语的不定式的to可以省略. 答案: What

6．解析: 指承认曾经“失败过”. 答案: lost

7．解析: 表示“对……作出反应”是reaction后加介词to, 为固定搭配. 答案: to

8．解析: 因devote oneself to (致力于) 是固定搭配, 又因主语是our team, 故用itself. 答案: itself

9．解析: 因learn与lessons在逻辑上是动宾关系, 即lessons与learn是被动关系, 故用过去分词作定语. 答案: learned

10．解析: 这句是为避免头重脚轻而使用了倒装. 因主语the lessons的定语learned in...in the student council太长, 故将其放在后面了, are前面空格处是作表语的, 故用形容词. 答案: valuable Ⅲ.阅读理解

What’s popular?

When it comes to reading, Luz Ramos enjoys mysteries.Cynthia Hass likes the Gossip Girl books.And Carla Fajardo is a fan of the Twilight (《暮色》) series.

What do the three girls from America’s Modesto High School have in common？They’re reading something surveys say teens are doing less and less these days.

Still, there are teenagers who find time to read a good book.But what have they been reading over the years?

Teen girls were likely to be interested in romance novels, according to a study by the University of Minnesota conducted in 1992.

After surveying five different high schools in Illinois, the study found that “the romance novel is, without question, the most popular kind of leisure book for female adolescents.” While preferred genres for males were more varied, ranging from science fiction to sports. But now, girls, too, are enjoying a broader range of teen literature.On the New York Times young adults’ best­seller list are, The Book Thief, a Holocaust (二战中纳粹大屠杀)tale told by Death and written by a young Australian author, Markus Zusak；The Hunger Games, about a girl’s fight for survival on live TV.

Also on the list are the Twilight and Gossip Girl books.The Twilight series, a story of romance between protagonist (主角)Bella Swan and vampire (吸血鬼)Edward Cullen, and the racy Gossip Girl series, detailing the decadent(颓废的)lives of upper-class teenagers, have sold more than 7.7 million and 5.6 million copies in the United States, respectively.

Both have been adapted into other forms of media because of their success: Gossip Girl into a TV

series and Twilight into a movie to be released on November 21.

However, they also have received criticism from those who worry the books are part of a trend misrepresenting teenage life and relationships. Teenagers have split opinions.

To 16-year-old Hass, a student in Modesto High, Gossip Girl is a pleasurable read that relates to teenage

“I don’t really care for them, ” she said.“They have a lot of drama.I think teenagers want the drama because they don’t have anything like that going on in their lives.”

Two college students walked 400 kilometers from the university back to their hometown during the vacation, which has aroused heated discussions on the Internet. 80% of the netizens speak highly of the two students’ behavior, stating that it is a good way to strengthen their will and learn to be independent. 20% of them, however, hold the opinion that it is a waste of time and energy walking home because the two students could have read several books and learned more knowledge during the time. Besides, they think it is not safe to walk such a long way.

I support the two college students because I think they can learn a lot by walking home which might not be learned through reading books.
