高二英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

The great-grandmother is learning English with the help of her family when she is at the age of 91. She hopes to use the language at next year’s Olympic Games in Tokyo. Takamizawa was one of the more than 200, 00 people who requested to volunteer for Tokyo’s 2020 Games. English is not required for service, but it is a useful skill for volunteers to have.

But Takamizawa had not been able to learn the language when she was young. Takamizawa said that she was in high school when World War Two started. She said, “In my second year there, English was banned because it was the enemy language.”

Takamizawa said her grandchildren helped persuade her that she was not too old to learn. “When I talked to my grandchildren about my wish, they said, ‘It’s not too late. We will teach you one word a day’ ”. Natsuko is Takamizawa’s granddaughter and main English teacher. Natsuko sends a new English word to her grandmother’s phone every day. They also often work together directly on phrases that Takamizawa will need for the Olympics. “Welcome to Tokyo, this is the Olympic stadium, how can I help you?” Takamizawa answers when asked to say an English phrase she has learned. Natsuko explains that she wanted to give her grandmother something to enjoy. “I can clearly see her English is getting better. It’s my joy now.”

The EF English Proficiency Index is a measure of the level of English spoken in a country. Japan ranks 49th among countries where English is not the first language. This situation is slowly changing as younger generations welcome English. However, Takamizawa believes real change will not happen unless Japanese people become more open to the rest of the world. With around 500 days to go until the games begin, the whole Takamizawa family is ready to welcome the world to Tokyo.

1.Why couldn’t Takamizawa learn English when she was young?

A.Because English was useless.

B.Because she was too young to learn English.

C.Because English was forbidden to learn.

D.Because she was unwilling to learn English.

2.What can we know from the third paragraph?

A.Takamizawa gets strong support from her family.

B.Takamizawa’s grandchildren love her a lot.

C.Natsuko is Takamizawa’s granddaughter and only English teacher.

D.Natsuko teaches Takamizawa English mainly by talking with her.

3.What does the underlined phrase “This situation” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A.English is not the first language in Japan.

B.The level of English spoken in Japan is relatively low.

C.Younger generations in Japan welcome English.

D.Japanese people become open to the rest of the world.

4.What is the main idea of the passage?

A.Where there is a will, there is a way. B.It is never too late to learn.

C.The early bird catches the worm. D.Two heads are better than one.

But Sophia knew just how important Make­A­Wish could be because this special organization had helped to make a dream come true for one of her best friends.

Sophia also told us the Foundation tries to give children and their families a special, happy time. A Make­A­Wish volunteer visits the families and asks the children whatever they would wish for if they could have anything in the world. Sophia said the volunteers were important because they were the ones who helped to make the wishes come true.

Elizabeth Taylor is a legend (传奇人物) of our time. Like Velvet Brown in National Velvet, she has been lucky, she has beauty, fame and wealth. But she is also a hard worker.

2.What Elizabeth Taylor and Velvet Brown had in common was that they were both _____.
