Should College Students Be Allowed to Get Married?
There is no denying the fact that it is a hotly debated topic today whether college students should be allowed to get married. Some time ago, the ban was lifted by some universities on students getting married. To this people’s attitudes differ sharply. Some hold the positive view. They say that most college students are adults and that it is a basic right for those who have reached the appropriate ages to get married. Besides, they argue that with their biological and emotional needs met, these students will study better. The ban on this means a severe violation of human rights.
Many others, however, hold the negative opposite view. They claim that the university or college is a place to study instead of a community to lead family life. Allowing college students to get married would adversely affect their study. For instance, they would spend too much time attending their family and love, unable to concentrate on their school work.
As far as I am concerned, Weighing the arguments of both sides, I believe that it is OK to allow college students to get married. Anyway, this is their freedom. Actually, we don’t have to worry too much because facts have shown that most college students would choose not to get married in the face of such fierce competition and heavy school work.
(或 As far as I am concerned, Weighing the arguments of both sides, I believe that college students should not be allowed to get married. Though mostly adults, they are actually immature psychologically. Their wishes to get married are, more often than not, impulses. Besides, as students, they are not ready to support a family financially.

There is no denying the fact that buying lottery tickets is a hotly debated topic in China today. There is no denying the fact that buying lottery tickets is becoming popular in China today. Some people believe that it is beneficial in many ways. In the first place, it helps raise money for such groups as the poor and the disabled as well as for such causes as sports. (Thus, the heavy financial burden on the government will be relieved or even removed.) In the second place, lottery games provide people with a means of entertainment or pastime. (Without lottery games, many people might find nothing interesting to do. Last but not least, by buying lottery tickets, one may make a fortune overnight.)
Others, however, hold the opposite view. They say that buying lottery tickets is actually a kind of gambling. People are encouraged to earn money through guessing instead of down-to-earth labor. As a result, some people are tempted to commit crimes. A case in point is the two bank clerks in Heibei who stole millions of money from the bank to buy lottery tickets.
Weighing the arguments of both sides, I am inclined to agree with the former. Lottery games can serve as a good means to raise funds. But the ticket buyers should keep in mind the original purpose of such games, that is, to help the underprivileged or to contribute to public welfare. If they happen to win the prizes, it’s nothing but a return for their kindness.
(Personally, I think that both sides have something right. Actually, lottery games should be viewed as a two-edged sword, which presents us with both benefits and troubles. But we should not give up eating for fear of choking. The best policy, as I see it, is to maximize their advantages and eliminate their unhealthy side-effects. Or in other words, we should further develop lottery games and exert proper supervision over them so that they can benefit us in a better way。

Castellana,the threelining highway that runs through 2.____
the heart of Madrid.
As Real date back to 1902, when the Sociedad 3. ____
Madrid Football Club was formed, it was not until

Real (royal) prefix. Work began on the current
stadium in October 1944. The land had been purchased
on three million pesetas; construction costs totalled a 5. ____
further 38 million, a staggered sum for the time. The 6. ____
cost of the new stadium led to claims, never proving, 7. _____
that Real had received financial aid from General
Franco’s government. Under Bernabeu’s patronage,
Real Madrid became the greatest club side ever, won 8. ____
the European Champions Cup a record five times in a
row between 1956 and 1960, a remarkable feat that
is unlikely to be challenged.
Madrid lies, quite literally, at the heart of
Spain.This is no small coincidence that the capital’s 9. ____

答案:
1.【参考答案】将lies改为lying。
【参考译文】 没有别的体育场位置能与伯纳贝乌体育场位置相媲美了,它位于卡斯特拉纳,位于穿越马德里市中心这条高速公路的三叉路口。
【试题分析】 本题辨析主句与分词状语关系的误用。
【详细解答】 lies as it does on the Castellana ,虽然主语应该是Bernabeu,但由于前面Few football grounds boast a more prestigious address thantheBernabeu是比较级的句子,而且比较对象很明确:是Few football grounds 与the Bernabeu,而lies的误用,导致了句子结构的混乱。鉴于lies as it does…是对the Bernabeu的补充说明,故将lies改为lying,使之与后面的句子变成状语,就解决了问题。
2.【参考答案】将threelining改为threelined。
【参考译文】 译文同上句。
【试题分析】 本题辨析分词作定语时的误用。
【详细解答】 threelining与其修饰词highway的逻辑关系是被动的。而现在分词往往是与其修饰词的关系是主动的。因此,将threelining改为threelined。
3.【参考答案】将as改为Though。
【参考译文】 尽管皇家马德里队的历史可追溯到1902年索西达德马里足球俱乐部队成立之时,但是直到1920年,俱乐部才被允许在其名字之前 冠以“皇家”二字。
【试题分析】 本题辨析连接词的误用。
【详细解答】 Real date back to 1920与it was not until 1920 that the club was granted permission to use the Realprefix之间的逻辑关系应是转折关系,而as的误用导致了关系的混乱。改为表示转折的Though/Although。
4.【参考答案】将when改为that。
【参考译文】 译文同上句。
【试题分析】 本题辨析连接词的误用。
【详细解答】 强调句与定语从句的区别主要有两点:引导词与引导词前后的句子的结构。强调句的连词除了强调人可以是who 以外,都用that。另外一点,强调句前半部分是“It is…”,句意不完整,that后面的部分也不完整,只有将It is …that中间的成分移到后面才完整。本句是强调句,而不是定语从句,故when属误用,须将when改为that。5.【参考答案】将on改为for。
【参考译文】 购买体育场地皮花去300万比赛塔,建造费用总共达3800万比赛塔。
【试题分析】 本题辨析介词的误用。
【详细解答】 介词的作用在英语中的作用是不容忽视的,每一个介词都有其独特的用途。on除了表示时间,空间位置外,还可以表示“在……方面”,不表示花费多少钱。故句中on属误用,将之改为表示数目多少的介词“for”。
6.【参考答案】将staggered改为staggering。
【参考译文】 在当时,这是一笔令人惊愕的数目。
【试题分析】 本题辨析同源的形容词的误用。
【详细解答】 以“ed”结尾的形容词主语一般修饰人,表示“感到……的”,以“ing”结尾的形容词一般修饰非生命的“物”,表示“令人……的”,句中sum是staggered逻辑主语,故staggered属误用,将之改为staggering。
7.【参考答案】将proving改为proven。
【参考译文】 新建体育场的巨大耗资引起了许多传言,还说皇家马德里队曾接受过佛朗哥政府的资助,但从未得到证实。
【试题分析】 本题辨析做状语时,分词的误用。
【详细解答】 never proving是主句The cost of the new stadium led to claims的分词状语,proving的逻辑主语是that Real had received financial aid from General Franco’s government,在关系上与proven属被动,因此,proving属误用,改为proven。
8.【参考答案】将won改为winning。
【参考译文】 在伯纳贝乌的资助下,皇家马德里最终成为最优秀的一支俱乐部足球队,在1956年至1960年期间,这支球队五连冠夺得欧洲足球冠军杯。
【试题分析】 本题辨析分词在作状语时的误用。
【详细解答】 由won开始的状语短语,逻辑主语是Real Madrid,主语和won的逻辑关系是主动的。won是误用,因此改为winning。
9.【参考答案】将This改为It。
【参考译文】这支首都著名足球俱乐部队被视为西班牙民族精神的象征,就像巴塞罗那足球俱乐部队是独立的加泰罗尼亚精神的标志一样,这绝不是巧合。
【试题分析】 本题辨析作形式主语时代词的误用。
【详细解答】 本句是长句子,真正的主语是that后面的部分。为了保持句子的平衡,将较长的主语放在后面,而将 it放在句首,做形式主语,是英语惯用的手段。而本句用this作形式主语是不合适的,故改为it。
10.【参考答案】将like改为as。
【参考译文】 译文同上句。
【试题分析】 本题辨析将介语用作连词的误用。
【详细解答】 在作“像……”这一意思时,like虽与as词意看似相似,但用法区别很大。like是介词,连接名词或代词,as是连词,连结句子,而FG Barcelona is a beacon for the independent Catalan spirit是个句子,故like属误用,应改为as。

"Culture shock" occurs as result of total immersion in a new culture.It happens to "people who have been suddenly transplanted abroad."Newcomers may be anxious because they do not speak the language,know the customs,or understand people's behavior in daily life.The visitor finds that "yes" may not always mean "yes",that friendliness does not necessarily mean friendship,or that statements that appear to be serious are really intended as jokes.The foreigner may be unsure as to when to shake hands,when to start conversations,or how to approach a stranger.The notion of "culture shock" helps explain feelings of bewilderment and disorientation.Language problems do not account for all the frustrations that people feel.When one is deprived of everything that was once familiar,such as understanding a transportation system, knowing how to register for university classes,or knowing how to make friends,difficulties in coping whth the new society may arise.
"...when an individual enters a strange culture,he or she is like fish out of water."Newcomers feel at times that they do not belong to and feel alienated from the native members of the culture.When this happens visitors may want to reject everything about the new environment and may glorify and exaggerate the positive aspects of their own culture.Conversely visitors may scorn their native country by rejecting its values and instead choosing to identify with(if only temporatily)the value of the new country.This may occur as an attempt to over-identify with the new culture in order to be accepted by the people in it.

【答案】:cbbac
【解析】:1.选C。根据下文“Newcomers feel at times that they do not belong to and feel alienated from the native members of the culture.”推断本句要说明“远离自己文化背景的人,会忍受精神上的孤独”。
2.选B。由文章最后一段得知“有的人会采取认同所在地的文化价值观而贬低自己的原有文化价值观的方式,已求得当地人的接受。”
3.选B。由文中“The notion of ‘culture shock’ helps explain feelings of bewilderment and disorientation.”中bewilderment和disorientation两词含义可知。
4.选A。因为alien是生词,而另外三句话中没有生词,因此可用排除法来做此题,B、C、D选项都太片面了。
5.选C。文中在Newcomers feel at times that they do not belong to and feel alienated from the native members of the culture.这句里有明显提示。
