In 1879, Oxford University in England asked Prof. James Murray to serve as editor for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language. It would include every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of the word and quotations(引文)showing how it was used.This was a huge task, so Murray had to find volunteers from Britain, the United States, and the British colonies to search every newspaper, magazine, and book ever written in English. Hundreds of volunteers responded, including William Chester Minor. Dr. Minor was an American surgeon who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England. He gave his address as “Broadmoor, Crowthorne, Berkshire，” 50 miles from Oxford.Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray. Over the next 17 years, he became one of the staff's most valued contributors.But he was also a mystery. In spite of many invitations, he would always decline to visit Oxford. So in 1897, Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself. When he arrived, he found Minor locked in a book­lined cell at the Broadmoor Asylum(精神病院)for the Criminally Insane.Murray and Minor became friends, sharing their love of words. Minor continued contributing to the dictionary, sending in more than 10，000 submissions in 20 years. Murray continued to visit Minor regularly, sometimes taking walks with him around the asylum grounds.In 1910, Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America. Murray was at the port to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend.Minor died in 1920, seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was completed. The 12 volumes defined 414，825 words, and thousands of them were contributions from a very scholarly and devoted asylum patient.16.

success，for possible answers.However，the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find.In most Japanese preschools，surprisingly little stress is put on academic instruction.In one investigation(調查)，300 Japanese and 210 American preschool teachers，child development specialists，and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education.Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents(答問卷者) listed “to give children a good start academically” as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools.On the contrary，over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top three choices.To prepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond，Japanese schools do not teach reading，writing，and mathematics，but rather skills such as persistence(毅力)，concentration，and the ability to function as a member of a group.The vast majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents.In the recent comparison of Japanese and American preschool education，91 percent of Japanese respondents chose providing children with a group experience as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools.Sixty­two percent of the more individually oriented(強調個性發(fā)展的) Americans listed group experience as one of their top three choices.A stress on the importance of the group seen in Japanese early childhood education continues into primary school education.Like in America，there is diversity(多樣性) in Japanese early childhood education.Some Japanese kindergartens have clear aims，such as early musical training or potential development.In large cities，some kindergartens are attached to universities that have primary and middle schools.Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university­based program，it will increase the children's chances of eventually being admitted to top­rated schools and universities.Several more progressive programs have introduced free play as a way out for the heavy intellectualizing(智力化) in some Japanese kindergartens.22We learn from the first paragraph that many Americans believe _AJapanese parents pay more attention to preschool education than American parentsBJapan's economic success is the result of its scientific achievementsCJapanese preschool education attaches greater importance to academic instructionDJapan's higher education is better than theirs23In Japan's preschool education，the focus is on _Apreparing children academicallyBdeveloping children's interests in musicCdiscovering children's potentialDshaping children's character24Free play has been introduced in some Japanese kindergartens in order to _Alighten children's study loadBencourage children's creativityCbroaden children's viewsDenrich children's knowledge25Why do some Japanese parents send their children to university­based kindergartens?AThey can have no problems in their future studies.BThey can have clear aims in life.CThey can succeed in developing in every way.DThey can have better chances of getting a first­rate education.書面表達假如你是李華，你校學生會于2013年2月15日下午舉行“校園書市(a campus book fair)”活動。請你寫封e­mail給你的美國筆友Peter，告訴他此次活動的有關情況。1活動目的：(1)給同學們提供一個交換圖書的機會；(2)更好地利用讀過的書。2具體內容：(1)把你不想保留的書拿到書市上出售；(2)購買你喜歡的書；(3)交換圖書。3談談你的感想、收獲和體會。注意：1.文章開頭和結尾已給出，不計入總詞數。2詞數：120左右。Hello Peter！How are you going these days?_Looking forward to hearing from you!Love，Li Hua參考答案課時作業(yè)(四十).1.D句意：老師，我在。請聽好。我一直在考慮讓你父母來學校，但我想先聽聽你的意見。have been considering是現在完成進行時，表示從過去開始的一個動作一直持續(xù)到現在，并且還在進行。2B考查非謂語動詞。句意：這個小男孩被最新的電動玩具所吸引，站在櫥窗前一動也不動。句子的主語the little boy與attract構成邏輯上的被動關系，故用過去分詞。to be done表示動作尚未發(fā)生。3D考查副詞辨析。此處somehow意為“不知怎的”。句意：他已打算妥協，可是不知怎的在最后的時刻他又改變了主意。4Dnot to mention更不必說，不必提及；in addition to除之外；on account of由于，因為，為了的緣故；regardless of不顧，不管。根據句意可知D項正確。5A考查動詞詞義辨析。句意：這些天政府發(fā)布了幾項將會加快制造業(yè)發(fā)展的經濟政策。accelerate意為“加速，提前”； accomplish意為“完成，實現”； accumulate意為“積累，增加”； approve意為“批準，贊成”。根據句意可知A項正確。6Cassuming that“假定”為固定句型。類似表達有：providing/supposing (that)7B考查虛擬語氣。if only“要是就好了”，后用虛擬語氣。答句句意：要是我沒對他說那些太嚴厲的話就好了。表示和過去事實相反，故用過去完成時。8C考查短語辨析。regardless of 意為“不考慮，不顧及”。 not to mention意為“更別提，更別說”；apart from意為“除了”，所以A、B項意思不對；D項搭配不當。9A考查非謂語。此處only to do/be done表示意料之外的結果；現在分詞作結果狀語則表示自然的結果。這里George和tell之間是被動關系，因此用to be told。句意：戰(zhàn)爭后喬治回到家，結果被告知妻子已經離開了他。10B考查非謂語。句意：展望未來，我們希望我們的教學體系得以改變。look ahead 意為“展望未來，為將來設想”；look around 意為“向四處看”；watch out 意為“注意，當心”；D項無此搭配。11C考查動詞短語辨析。句意：我厭煩了無休止的考試。振作起來，David。堅持到高考結束。be fed up with意為“厭倦，受夠了，飽受”。catch up with趕上；come up with提出(想法、辦法等)；put up with忍受，容忍。12C考查不定式的時態(tài)。句意：據說湯姆最近在設計一種新的電腦程序，但我不知道他什么時候完工。后半句暗示“設計”這一動作還在進行，故用不定式的現在完成進行式。13D句意：臨近的居民都拍手稱贊政府關于關閉這個印染工廠的決定。delete刪除；identify識別；interrupt打斷；applaud贊賞。14A考查交際用語。從答語中的“I'm going up there，too.”可知，答話人認為兩個人都去Appleby是一件極為巧合的事，故用What a coincidence!15A考查獨立主格結構。主句主語跟后面狀語部分主語不一致，前后沒有連詞，說明應該用獨立主格結構。date back to“追溯到”，一般不用被動，它與邏輯主語some (trees)應該是主動關系，因此用現在分詞。.A這是一篇記敘文。文章敘述了第一本牛津詞典的編寫過程，以及Minor對詞典的編寫工作所作出的巨大貢獻。16D細節(jié)理解題。從最后一段的“Minor died in 1920, seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was completed.”看出A選項是不正確的；從第二段的“Murray had to find volunteers from Britain, the United States, and the British colonies to search every newspaper, magazine, and book ever written in English. Hundreds of volunteers responded, including William Chester Minor. Dr. Minor was an American surgeon who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England.”看出牛津詞典是集體智慧的結晶；由第一段最后一句中“It would include every English word possible”可知，C項不正確。故選D。17C細節(jié)理解題。從第三段的“Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray”看出，Minor提供了大量詞匯和引文。故選C。18A細節(jié)理解題。從第四段的“Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself. When he arrived, he found Minor locked in a book­lined cell at the Broadmoor Asylum for the Criminally Insane.”看出，是由于Minor患精神病被關進醫(yī)院里，所以沒有辦法去牛津。故選A。19B細節(jié)理解題。從第二段Minor自愿加入編詞典這個活動可知，他對此很感興趣，與Murray有著共同的興趣，再從文章倒數第三段的“Murray and Minor became friends, sharing their love of words. Minor continued contributing to the dictionary, sending in more than 10，000 submissions in 20 years.”可找到答案。故選B。20D推理判斷題。根據文章中Minor在患精神病住院期間還堅持詞典的編寫工作看出他的不尋常；從文章倒數第三段的“Minor continued contributing to the dictionary, sending in more than 10，000 submissions in 20 years.”看出他的學者風范。故選D。21C主旨大意題。文章一開始主要介紹由來自英國、美國和英國殖民地的志愿者參加牛津詞典的編寫工作，后半部分主要寫編者Minor對詞典的編寫工作所作出的巨大貢獻。故選C。B這是一篇講述日本學前教育的材料，文章指出日本學前教育的側重點和對集體主義的重視，以及教育內容的豐富多樣性。22C事實細節(jié)題。根據第一段“the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find. In most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little stress is put on academic instruction.”可知，美國人的看法應該是日本的學前教育非常重視專業(yè)技術知識的傳授，因此C項是正確答案。23D事實細節(jié)題。由第一段倒數第二句“To prepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond，Japanese schools do not teach reading，writing，and mathematics，but rather skills such as persistence，concentration，and the ability to function as a member of a group.”可知，在日本的學前教育中，老師并不教孩子讀寫和數學，而是重視培養(yǎng)孩子的素質，教育孩子們學會持之以恒、集中精力，并能融入集體之中。所以D項正確。24A推理判斷題。根據最后一段最后一句“introduced free play as a way out for the heavy intellectualizing in some Japanese kindergartens.”可推測free play是用來減輕學生學習壓力的，所以A項正確。25D推理判斷題。根據最后一段第四句“it will increase the children's chances of eventually being admitted to top­rated schools and universities.”可知，孩子們參加university­based項目可以有更好的機會得到高等教育。故D項正確。.One possible version：Hello Peter！How are you going these days?In order to provide us students with an opportunity to exchange books and make better use of our used books, our Students' Union held a campus book fair on the afternoon of February 15，2013.At the book fair, students could sell unwanted books, buy books they needed or simply trade books with each other. Like other fairs of this kind, prices were typically very low. Happily, I not only got rid of several books but also bought a few books I really wanted.As far as I'm concerned, I like this activity, which is beneficial to us students. On the one hand, I felt my social skills had been well practiced and improved. On the other hand, this activity also gave us an excellent opportunity to feel a bit of the real world. I wish more events like this book fair would be held in our school.Looking forward to hearing from you!Love，Li Hua10
