Putting on a play can be fun.Acting can be like the dress-up gaes that children play. For a while,to pretend to be soeone else can be a very exciting experience.
Professional actors take part in plays and television progras given in New York and other large cities.They earn their living by acting.But other people act in plays just for fun and are not paid for their work.They are high school or college students and adults who belong to “little theatre” groups.In the daytie,they are students,teachers,doctors,lawyers and policeen.They are actors only in the evenings or weekends.
One of the Aerica’s oldest little theatre groups is in Indianapolis,Indiana.They are called the Players Club,and they put on 8 plays a year.People in the city buy tickets to see the plays.Anyone who wants to act ay join the Players Club.
There are little theatre groups in any cities. They continue to put on plays because they bring pleasure to a large nuber of people.People in a little theatre group enjoy having the chance to act,while the audience enjoy watching the plays,too.

6. hold 7.oldest 8.faous9.first 10. known
B、1-5 CABAC
C、6~10 CABCA 11~1 5BACAB
二、Talking (说)
A、补全对话
1. 选B。上句是在问路,从答语中的后半句可知,表明此人是走错路了。
2. 选A。从下可知,警察告诉他要向左拐,是他本人弄错。
3. 选E。从下面的答语中可知,上是问“多远”。
4. 选D。根据上下可以推断出此选项。
5. 选C。根据上可推断出要选C。
6. 选F。这是一句答谢用语。
B、情景交际
1. 选C。 当对方邀请做某事时,可以回答Yes, I will.或Certainly, I will.译:“我非常喜欢这种食物。”“我很高兴你喜欢它。请什么时候顺便到家。”“好的,我将会的。”用Is it all right?和I’ afraid I won't be free.回答很不客气。That's great.的意思是“那太好了。”不符合日常说话的习惯。答案为C。
2. 选D。take your tie的意思是“别着急”。译:“恐怕这周内我完不成这本书。”“别着急。”Please go ahead意为:说吧,做吧,是不阻止别人请求的一种答语;That's all right意为:不谢,没关系。但从对话可知甲是在说明一个事实:一周内完不成,而没道歉或感谢之意,故排除B。Not at all用法等同于That's all right。答案为D。
3. 选C。从doctor这个词可以判断这是病人与护士之间的谈话。病人想见医生,所以护士说Certainly. ay I know your nae?其他几种回答都不符合现实情况。译:“喂,我可以和医生订个约会吗?”“当然可以,我可以知道你的名字吗?”答案为C。
4. 选D。 They couldn't have done better.在这里是一句赞扬的话,说明他们已经尽到了最大的努力,不会打的比这再好了。译:“你认为昨天的篮球运动员打得出色吗?”“他们做的不能比这更好了。”答案为D。
5. 选A。 What about doing…?是征求对方意见的日常用语。Good idea.则是对别人的提议表示赞成。Help yourself意为:请便,是对他人要做的事的一种赞同;Go ahead也是同意别人做事的答语;e, too则表示别人怎样,你也怎样,与题意显然不符。答案为A。
6. 选A。 这是饭店服务生常用的对顾客的一种答语。Yes, sir ?的意思是“先生,什么事?”以便知道对方的请求。答案为A。
7. 选A。Shall I help……?是提供帮助的交际用语。It's all right, thanks.表示接受对方的帮助,并表示感谢。用Yes, go ahead please.“好的,你做吧。”回答不太客气。如果你不需对方帮助一般要说:Thanks all the sae, I can anage it yself。答案为A。
8. 选B. You’ve given us a wonderful dinner, rs Wang.是以赞扬对方的话表示谢意,对方可以回答说Thank you.或I' glad you enjoyed it.选项A和D都是中国式的答语,不符合西方的习惯。Coe again when you are free.显得过于唐突。答案为B。
9. 选A。 Do you ind if…?是表示征求许可的日常用语。对Do you ind…的回答要注意:不介意时要说:No, certainly/Not/Of course not;如果介意要说:Sorry, but…或I’d rather you didn't…,所以选项B和D都是错误的。选项C不符合西方人的习惯。答案为A。
10. 选D。 Will you…?是表示请求对方做某事的日常用语。No proble的意思是“没问题”。That's fine是同意别人去干;Nothing serious:没啥严重的;Never ind不要紧,均没有给出明确答复,也不符合回答习惯。答案为D。

四、Reading(阅读)
A、完形填空
1. 选B。by+doing以某种方式,例如:I killed the spider by hitting it.用with表某种方式 时,后面接工具等名词。如:I killed the spider with a newspaper.
2. 选D。nuber修饰可数名词,aount修饰不可数名词;没有the lot of这种构,quantity不接具体数量词,只表示物质多少,如:A large/sall quantity of beer was sold.
3. 选A。前句谈到的是学生的增长,此处用ore than更连贯。uch为形容词原形,后面不接than; fewer than, less than少于。?
4. 选B。fro…to为一固定结构,意为“从……到”。
5. 选C。代词与self分开用时,中间一般有形容词,如:He put his whole self into the job.
反身代词一般作宾语或同位语,不作定语。因此, 此处排除选项self;personal(个人的)能作定语,但不符合题意;own(自己的)常作定语。
6. 选C。consist of与take in, include近义:consist of宾语是主语的全部内容,而include和take in的宾语有可能只是主语的一部分。例如:The United Kingdo consists of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The United Kingdo includes Northern Ireland.
7. 选D。as用法广泛,as well as“也……”,“除…之外”,相当于介词,as long as是连
词,意思为“只要”。
8. 选A。在具体的时间名词后,可用ago。 before和after作副词,此处用after翻译不通。Before 和ago的区别在于:ago的时间参照点是现在,“before now”;而before
的参照点不是现在,“before then”,而且before在具体的时间名词后作副词时,一般用于完成时。例如:last suer, I left the fir that I had joined eighteen years before.
9. 选D。参照此句前部分,此处derive“得到”后应为政府拨款,即选项D.funds(资金)。
10. 选B。pay the fees支付费用;ake, change, delay,一般不与fees搭配。
11. 选C。该句为一定语从句。the place是先行词,从句he lives缺状语,故用where引
导定语从句修饰the place。
12. 选C。lodging and food食宿,此处不用living。因为living包括lodging在内。
13. 选D。一般说,只有家庭贫穷,学生才可申请补助。
14. 选B。上句谈到学生学费问题,此处承接上句,继续谈学生赚钱之事。也可结合后
面的take jobs in the suer综合考虑。
15. 选D。for后面接一段时间;at, since后只能接时间点。例如:I used to study Geran
for two years.过去我曾学过两年德语。
16. 选B。“在假期工作”,承接本句上半部分。用work取代job,力求语言的多样性。
17. 选A。take responsibility for对……负责,用duty则是It’s the duty of the Departent
of Education to pay the oney…;take the advice of采纳……的建议。
18. 选C。本讨论的是关于大学的问题,此处讨论教育部在资金方面对大学的责任。
19. 选C。have influence on… 对……影响;例如:Listening to the usic has a caling
influence on her.听音乐可以使她的心情平静。
20. 选B。“由……组成”可由coprise, consist of, be coposed of, be ade up of表示, 例
如:The United Kingdo coprises/ consists of/ is coposed of/ is ade up of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. “组成”则用constitute , coprise。
例如:England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland constitute/coprise/ake up the United Kingdo.(be coposed of:由……组成)。
B、阅读理解
1.选A。根据第二段“Great Britian, or Britian…”可知,他们是指同一个地方。
2. 选B。根据第二段第一句话“The British isles refer to the ain islands and several thousand sall ones as well, which you can see on the ap.”,可知B项是正确的。
3. 选D。国是不列颠群岛的一个部分,英格兰是英国的一个部分。
4. 选B。在写英信件的地址时,地址书写的顺序是有小到大,即Edinburgh要写在
Scotland的前面。而Scotland是Great Britain的一个部分。

6. 选B。根据第二段“However, the soke fro the engine soon filled the air in the
tunnels with ash and soot(煤灰), as well as cheical gases. Fans had to be put in the tunnels later to keep the air clean enough for people to breathe.”,可知应该选B。
7. 选B。根据最后一句“It carried 9 illion riders in its first year.”,可知,catch on的意思为“受欢迎的”。
8. 选C。当初建造地铁的目的就是为了缓解交通,最后为缓解了英国的交通问题。
五、Writing(写作)
A、单句改错
1. stood-改为standing。standing用作现在分词,在此处用作状语。
2. 去掉the。某个部门的独一的领导前不用冠词。
3. lay改为lying。lying为现在分词作宾语补足语。
4. whether改为that。that引导一个宾语从句。
5. that改为where。此处表示这个词可被用在哪个情景里。
6. ade改为aking。此处为have soe probles in doing sth结构。
7. requiring改为requires。主语为probles,he referred to为定语从句。
8. 第二个to改为with。be connected with意为“与……有关系、牵连”。
9. surprised改为surprise。to one’s surprise为习惯短语。
10. with改为in。表示“穿着什么颜色的衣服要用介词in。
11. whether改为that。no doubt与that 连用。
12. get改为got;或在get前加should。It’s high tie后接从句时,要用虑拟语气。
13. affair改为atter。atter在此相当于wrong。
14. don’t改为will。此句为祈使句,后面要用will。
15. coing改成coe。is supposed to 意为“应当”“理应”,后接动词原形。
B、翻译训练
