英语2考前辅导整理人：兰－08秋教管一、选词填空1、While I was waiting to enter university, I saw advertised in a local newspaper a teaching post at a school in a suburb of London about ten miles from where I lived. Being very short of money and wanting to do something useful, I applied, fearing as I did so, that without a degree and with no experience in teaching my chances of getting the job were slim.2、However, three days later a letter arrived, asking me to go to Croydon for an interview. It proved an awkward journey: a train to Croydon station; a ten-minute bus ride and then a walk of at least a quarter of a mile. As a result I arrived on a hot June morning too depressed to feel nervous.3、Now in the last month of my residency, sleeping was no longer a problem.

So, once I had made a considered decision, I no longer dwelt on it. Reviewing it wasn't going to help and I knew that with my knowledge and experience, any decision I'd made was bound to be a sound one. It was a nice feeling.4、All that sleepless night I replayed the moment those black gloves came up to the car window. How long did the whole thing last? Three minutes, five, eight? No matter. how many hours of my life I may spend reliving it, I know there is no way to prepare for the next time - no intelligent response to a gun. The fat cop was right: There's only luck. The next time I might end up dead.5、And I'm sure there will be a next time. It can happen anywhere, anytime, to anyone. Security is an illusion; there is no safety in locks or in guns. Guns make some people feel safe and some people feel strong, butthey're fooling themselves.6、School children used to know the story of how Abraham Linooln walked five miles to return a pennyhe'd overcharged a customer.

Washington's first biographer inventedthe tale of little George saying to his father, "I cannot tell a lie. I did it with my ax. " What is important in both stories, however, is that honesty was seen as an important part of the American character.二、选择题Unit 1:1 Industrial cities such as Chicage and Detroit have severely Polluted the waters of the Great Lakes.2 The doctor‟s report indicated that her death was due to heart disease.3 Medical researchers reached the conclusio n long ago that smoking is a serious hazard to health.4 George Washington, the first President of the United States, is known as the Father of His Country.5 The fire that broke out in the plant during the night was still seen giving off a lot of smoke the next morning.6 They have invented a new type of washing machine.7 The movie we are going to see is said to be based on the life story of an American general.8 The fence along the middle of the road is intended to protect vehicles from crashing in to each other.9 Supporters of gun control have worked for many years to ban the sale of deadly handguns in America.10 My native town, which was originally rather small, has now been built into one of the biggest cities in the province.11 The twin towers of the World Trade Center stick up over Manhattan island in New York city.12 The speaker said something about the actors first and then proceeded to talk about the film.13 We had a long debate as to whether we should spend so much money on space technology.14 A plate dropped from her fingers and smashed/was1 The hostsmall number of guests who attended.2 Shouts of protest sprang up from the angry crowd.3 Many people have the bad habit of spending money on impulse.4 The tone of the teacher‟s voice was gentle but authoritative.5 By careful examination, the doctors hope to track down the source of the infection.6 The attack on Pearl Harbor on December7, 1941 was an unexpected event which brought America into World War2.7 The coat fits the boy perfectly now, but he will outgrow it in a year‟s time.8 The man‟s eyes widened with fear when he saw the robber‟s gun.9 He resumed his regular working hours shortly after he came out of hospital.10 New problems emerge/spring up when old ones are solved.11 Johnny‟s mouth watered at the sight of the big pudding.12 At the first light of dawn the warships made for the open sea.Unit 3:1 A man of humble origin ,Lincoln eventually became President of the United States through his own efforts.2 The floods are threatening most of the villages in the area.3 Many species of animals which once lived on the earth are no longer in existence.4 Once he realizes that it is his mistake, Jim never hesitates to admit and correct it.5 The custom of having one‟s marriage arranged by parents has disappeared in many parts of the world but continues in some Asian and African countries.6 History show that the United States as a nation owes a great deal to the Afro-Americans.7 Acting on the advice of his doctor, Mr. Park had his eye operated on right after he retired last week.8 There is no sense in leaving important decisions to inexperienced people.9 Noticing that my daughter was very shy, out hostess went out to make her feel at home.10 Mrs. Brown, who has recently been appointed general manager of out company, is one of the most capable women I have ever worked with.11 My friend Joe is an experienced doctor, He can be trusted to perform the delicate operations.12 Martin Luther King and Malcolm X were both leaders in Afro American‟s struggle for equal rights; the former a supporter of non-violent struggle, and the latter an advocate of revolution.13 I don‟t want to influence you.
