In some parts of Canada children are very busy on summer evenings, running across lawns, making lots of noise, and battering (击打) at the air with their hands. They are catching little flying bugs called fireflies.
These insects do not bite or sting, but every so often they make a little flashing light that shows where they are. In some places they are called lightning bugs. In Europe a wingless member of the family is called a glow-worm.
In some of the hotter countries, similar insects grow much larger than those in Canada. It is even said they are put in jars to make a dim, flickering (闪烁) light in poor homes.

In the United States, boys and girls go to school when they are five years old. In some states they must stay in school until they are sixteen. Most students are seventeen or eighteen years old when they graduate from secondary schools.
Most children go to public elementary and secondary schools. The parents of public school pupils do not have to pay directly for their children's education because tax money supports the public school. If a child attends a private school, his parents pay the school for the child's education.
Today about half of the high school graduates go on to colleges and universities. Some colleges and universities receive tax money from the government. A student at a state university does not have to pay very much if his parents live in that state. Private colleges and universities are expensive, however. Almost half of the college students in the United States work while they are studying. When a student's family is not rich, he has to earn money for part of his college expenses.

A. high, eighteen

参考答案
测试题B
1—5 BACBA
6--10 DCDBA 11—15 BCAAC
提示说明
6． 该题的正确答案应为 D。此结构是倒装结构。当叙述一件事时, 说明另外某人也是如此时, 用 "so + 助动词 ( be 动词或情态动词 ) + 主语" 表达。如:
The husband enjoyed listening to music, and so did his wife.
The girls are fond of dancing, and so are the boys.
He can reach the apple on the tree, and so can I.
7．该题应选 C。 “prefer sth to sth” 表示 “喜欢某事物, 而不喜欢另外一事物”。此处to 是介词, 故也可将名词 sth. 换成动名词 doing 的形式, 表示 “喜欢做某事, 而不喜欢做另外一事”。如:
The boy prefers science to social studies.
I prefer reading books to watching TV.
另外 prefer to do (rather) than do 表示 “宁可做某事, 也不做某事”。这时 to 是动词不定式符号。如:
The young Party member would rather work in Tibet without being paid rather than take the chance to study in America.
She would rather do farm work in the country than live in the noisy city.
8．该题应选 D。使用 “have sb (sth) do” “have sb (sth) doing” 或 “have sb(sth) done”结构时应注意宾语和补足语的关系, 如果它们是主动关系, 应使用do 或 doing 作补足语, do 强调动作的经常性, doing 强调动作的延续性。如果宾语和补足语的关系是被动关系, 则应使用过去分词作补足语。如:
The teacher had us write a composition once a week.
The parents had John copying the text the whole evening.
She had a tooth pulled out.
16 — 20 CCBAD 21 — 25 CBCAB 26 — 30 DACBA 31 — 35 CABCD
提示说明
16. “fill…with…”是固定搭配,表示“充满，填充”。
23. “singing”是分词作伴随状语，与谓语动词“jump”同时发生。表示“一边唱着一边跳跃着”。
26. “seat”作动词使用时，是及物动词。其用法为：be seated 或seat oneself, 该题属于第二种用法。
27. 该题为从句中省略“if”的虚拟语气用法。
31. “out”是表示方位的副词，位于句首时，句子要使用倒装结构。
32. “as if ”后面常接虚拟语气。此处表示“好象正在玩儿……”。
33. “by and by”意为“逐渐地”。
35. “through”此处为“贯穿”的意思。
