The Olympic Games

李仕才

一、阅读理解

When I was in college, I spent a semester studying abroad at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland. In my brief time there, I came to love Scotland for its local culture, food and scenery.

You might think：“Scotland isn’t so different from the U．S.; they still speak English there！” But when I stepped off the plane, I was greeted by a gruff­voiced(声音粗哑的) lady at customs. “You’ll be coming from America, then？” She asked me, and I nodded. “But all of our guys are leaving Glasgow for the States！” Her thick Scottish English and sense of humor were obvious right away. I was not in the U．S. any more, where customs agents never joke around.

As I settled in at the university, I could feel myself getting used to hearing —and even speaking—the Scottish English of my customs agent. In classroom discussions, people would say “em” when they couldn’t think of what to say instead of “um”， which was great fun. After the first few weeks, I stopped chuckling about this. Strathclyde students stayed up late into the night, running around campus and shouting, “Go! Lat’s go, lat’s go(curse word) Glasgow！” Pretty soon, I was no longer saying “thanks” at the supermarket—instead, I said “cheers”．My Scottish friends drank whiskey and ate haggis(羊杂碎布丁). I drank plenty of whiskey but I was ashamed to admit that I wasn’t brave enough to try haggis. Scottish bakeries usually sell bridies(肉馅饼). Add a cup of tea—though I usually Americanized it by choosing coffee instead—and a bridie makes for a delicious breakfast.

Every time I took a train anywhere in Scotland, I’d gaze out at the rolling hills and wonder if grass was greener than anywhere else in the world. Then I’d refle ct that there’s a reason this country was the birthplace of golf.

【解题导语】本文介绍了“我”在苏格兰学习期间的体验：居民友好，食物独特，景色优美，苏格兰英语与美式英语有区别。

1．What did the author think of the lady at customs?

A．Impolite. B．Friendly.

C．Serious. D．Calm.

B 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Her thick Scottish English and sense of humor were obvious right away. I was not in the U．S. any more, where customs agents never joke around.”可知，作者认为她的苏格兰英语和幽默用得恰到好处，而美国的海关工作人员却从来不跟人开玩笑；据此可推断，作者认为这位在海关工作的女士是友好的，故B项正确。

2．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “chuckling” in Paragraph 3?

A．talking loudly B．comparing

C．laughing quietly D．hearing

C 解析：词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“In classroom discussions, people would say...was great fun. After the first few weeks, I stopped chuckling about this.”并结合“Pretty soon, I．..said ‘cheers’．”可推知，在教室讨论时，“我”发现他们的发音很有趣，几周后，“我”适应了他们的发音，所以不再偷笑。故画线词意为“偷笑”，C 项正确。

3．What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?

A．To explain why Scotland is famous for golf.

B．To promote the development of Scottish catering trade.

C．To introduce different pronunciations of “em” and “um”．

D．To share his experiences in Scotland as an exchange student.

D 解析：写作意图题。通读全文并结合第一段中的“In my brief time there, I came to love Scotland for its local culture, food and scenery.”可知，本文旨在和读者分享“我”在苏格兰做交换生期间所感受到的苏格兰文化、美食和美景，故D项正确。

答案：nor 分析句子结构可知，最后一个分句应用部分倒装结构，由前一分句中的never可知，此句表示“也从不”，故填nor。

5．They replaced their beloved old cars ________expensive new sports cars.

答案：with replace A with B “用B替换A”。

答案：to lose deserve to do sth. “应做某事”。
