Dear Mr Johnson,
2011年福建教师招聘考试小学英语专业知识预测卷答案
一．单项选择
【答案解析】
A。考查冠词的用法。一个苹果第一次出现，用an，后面特指该人的头，所以用the。
.A。考查短语。根据句意只有as soon as “一.......就......”符合要求。
D。考查动词短语。turn out“结果是，证明是”， bring out“取出、说出、使明显” call out“大声说出、召集”， pick out “挑选、分辨出”，根据句意只有D合适。
C。考查倒装。只有C项语法表述正确。
D。考查现在完成进行时的用法。表示从过去某时开始准备，一直持续到现在，并且还将继续准备。
C。考查分词做状语。分词短语的主语和句子的主语是同一个，用现在分词来表示。
B。考查虚拟语气。表示对过去的虚拟，用would / should / could / might + have +过去分词。
B。考查remain和seat的用法。在英语中，过去分词是可以充当形容词表达状态的。remain意为保持某种状态，所以保持坐着，就用的是 remain/keep seated。另外，注意seat是一个vt，所以后面需要跟宾语或者是用被动语态。英语中，表示请坐的时候，常说seat yourself或者be seated, please。
C。考查定语从句。先行词在从句中作状语，in which 相当于when。
A。考查词义辨析。根据回答，every other day “每隔一天”，可知提问是在问浇花的频率。
D。考查词义辨析。Cheer up“使高兴起来”， well done “做的不错”，go ahead “开始、领先”，congratulations“祝贺”。根据上下文只有congratulations 符合题意。
D。考查动词时态语态。
C。考查主谓一致。当主语后面跟有with, together with, except, but,as well as 等词引起的短语时,谓语动词与前面的主语一致.
C。考查感官动词的用法。see, hear, feel, watch, look,这五个动词均可作连系动词，后面接形容词作表语，说明主语所处的状态。其意思分别为\看/听/闻/尝/摸起来……\。除look之外，其它几个动词的主语往往是物，而不是人。
C。考查强调句。强调句的结构是It is/ was + 被强调部分（通常是主语、宾语或状语）+ that/ who（当强调主语且主语指人）+ 其它部分。强调句可以强调除谓语以外的一切成分
二、完型填空
【答案与解析】科学家通过实验测试黑猩猩所能驯化的程度。
16. B。句中的 though 是副词，意为“可是”，根据下文描述的实验情况可知“这只黑猩猩不是一只 ordinary(普通的)黑猩猩”。
17. D。do a research on 意为“对…进行研究”。
18. D。四个选项中只有 become 是连系动词，其后接形容词 civilized 作表语。
19. C。下文说到：当黑猩猩想要被抱起时，她将手指向上指；当她想要刷牙时，则用手指刮牙齿。这说明她与人们交换的是“信息”，即 message。
20. A。根据下文：当黑猩猩想要被抱起时，她将手指向上指；当她想要刷牙时，她则用手指刮牙齿。这说明黑猩猩用的是“手势语”，即 sign language。
21. D。pick up 有很多意思，如表示：拿起，捡起；收拾，整理；学会；(用车)来接，去取；改进，改善；重新开始，继续；感染(疾病、坏习惯)等。它在本句中的意思是“抱起”。
22. A。根据上一句的结构可推知。
23. B。根据下文的语境可推知。
24. C。注意本句后面的信息词 ceiling(天花板)。根据常识，四个选项中只有 C 才具备有 ceiling。
25.D。根据后面的 The food was still too high to be reached 可推知答案。
26. A。根据上文的 ... to think out and find answers to problems 可知此处应填 problems。
27 B。黑猩猩弄来盒子是为了增加高度，所以她应站在箱子之上，即填介词 on。
28. C。站在箱子上，高度仍不够，故又弄来一根 pole(竿)。根据常识，在此情况下，这 pole 的特征应是 long。
29 B。根据上文可知。
30. A。根据常识和语境，黑猩猩此时应是用竿 knock 食物。
31. A。从本段后面内容可知，这只黑猩猩是像人一样在“生活”(live)。
32. C。根据下文语境用排除法可推知答案。
33. B。根据上文可知这里的 there 指“在家里”。
34. C。对于黑猩猩来说，enjoys watching television before going to bed 显然比 play with toys 更不常见，故用even(甚至)强调后者。
35. D。learn 的意思是“了解”，即指通过研究黑猩猩来“了解”人类自己。
三．阅读理解
【答案解析】
本文主要介绍作者小时候的工作经历：6岁时在一家甘蔗种植园耕地，7岁时在离家不远的一家高尔夫球场找到看球。
36. C。语义理解题。第 1 段第 2 句话My first job was to drive the oxen that ploughed the cane fields 和题干几乎完全相同。
37. B。词义猜测题。从第 2 段第 2 句话中的I had to be on time every day and work as hard as I could 可以推知 tedious 的正确词义。
38. D。语义理解题。看到文章第 2 段第 4 句话 I also learned about being respectful and faithful to the people you work for，答案不言自明。
39. C。语义理解题。从文章第 3 段最后两句话 Nothing made me prouder than bringing home money to help my mother, father, two brothers and three sisters. This gave me self-esteem (自尊心)… 不难肯定答案为C。
40. A。判断题。从最后一段内容不难看出他想当一名高尔夫球员的迫切之心。

unpleasantness and hugeness and their adventure turned out to be a sad story… 可知“死亡谷”的名称来源于这些迷路矿工的死亡。

44. C. 细节题。根据 …where it seems hard for one to tell reality from terrible dreams 可推知答案为 C。
45. A. 推断题。根据the special beauty of this place…like the sights on the moon…

54. C。句意理解题。科学家通过用老鼠做实验来说明人的问题。因为人和老鼠都属于哺乳动物，很多生理机能都相同。

A
My father was a foreman of a sugar-cane plantation in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico. My first job was to drive the oxen that ploughed the cane fields. I would walk behind an ox, guiding him with a broomstick. For $ 1 a day, I worked eight hours straight, with no food breaks.
It was very tedious work, but it prepared me for life and taught me many lasting lessons. Because the plantation owners were always watching us, I had to be on time every day and work as hard as I could. I’ve never been late for any job since. I also learned about being respectful and faithful to the people you work for. More important, I earned my pay; it never entered my mind to say I was sick just because I didn’t want to work.
I was only six years old, but I was doing a man’s job. Our family needed every dollar we could make because my father never earned more than $ 18 a week. Our home was a three-room wood shack with a dirty floor and no toilet. Nothing made me prouder than bringing home money to help my mother, father, two brothers and three sisters. This gave me self-esteem(自尊心), one of the most important things a person can have.
When I was seven, I got work at a golf course near our house. My job was to stand down the fairway and spot the balls as they landed, so the golfers could find them. Losing a ball meant you were fired, so I never missed one. Some nights I would lie in bed and dreamt of making thousands of dollars by playing golf and being able to buy a bicycle.
The more I dreamed, the more I thought. Why not? I made my first golf club out of guava limb(番石榴树枝) and a piece of pipe. Then I hammered an empty tin can into the shape of a ball. And finally I dug two small holes in the ground and hit the ball back and forth. I practiced with the same devotion and intensity. I learned working in the field — except now I was driving golf balls with club, not oxen with a broomstick.
36. The writer’s first job was _______.
A. to stand down the fairway at a golf course
B. to watch over the sugar-cane plantation
C. to drive the oxen that ploughed the cane fields
D. to spot the balls as they landed so the golfers could find them

Motherhood may make women smarter and may help prevent dementia(痴呆) in old age by bathing the brain in protective hormones(荷尔蒙) , U.S. reseachers reported on Thursday.
Tests on rats show that those who raise two or more litters of pups do considerably better in tests of memory and skills than rats who have no babies, and their brains show changes that suggest they may be protected against diseases such as Alzheimer’s(早老痴呆症). University of Richmond psychology professor Craig Kinsley believes his findings will translate into humans.
“Our research shows that the hormones of pregnancy(怀孕) are protecting the brain, including estrogen(雌激素), which we know has many neuroprotective (保护神经的) effects,” Kinsley said.
“It’s rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals,” he added in a telephone interview. “They go through pregnancy and hormonal changes.”
Kinsley said he hoped public health officials and researchers will look to see if having had children protects a woman from Alzheimer’s and other forms of age-related brain decline.
“When people think about pregnancy, they think about what happens to babies and the mother from the neck down,” said Kinsley, who presented his findings to the annual meeting of the Society of Neuroscience in Orlando, Florida.
“They do not realize that hormones are washing on the brain. If you look at female animals who have never gone through pregnancy, they act differently toward young. But if she goes through pregnancy, she will sacrifice her life for her infant—that is a great change in her behavior that showed in genetic alterations(改变) to the brain.”
51. How do scientists know “Motherhood may make women smarter”?
A. Some researchers have told them.
B. Many women say so.
C. They know it by experimenting on rats.
D. They know it through their own experience.
52. What does the phrase “litters of pups” mean in the second paragraph?
A. Baby rats.B. Animals.C. Old rats.D. Grown-up rats.
53. What can protect the brain of a woman according to the passage?
A. Estrogen. B. The hormones of pregnancy.
C. More exercise. D. Taking care of children.
54. “It’s rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals.” What does the sentence suggest?
A. The experiments on the rats have nothing to do with humans.
B. The experiments on the rats are very important for animals.
C. The experiments on the rats are much the same on humans.
D. The experiments on the rats are much the same on other animals.
55. Which title is the best for this passage?
A. Do You Want to Be Smarter?
52. A。词义猜测题。后面的对比who have no babies，实际上提供了一个相反的情况，所以我们可以推测those who raise two or more litters of pups中的litters of pups指的是“刚出生不久的小老鼠”。
53. B。细节题。根据文章第 3 段中的 …the hormones of pregnancy(怀孕) are protecting the brain可得出答案。
54. C。句意理解题。科学家通过用老鼠做实验来说明人的问题。因为人和老鼠都属于哺乳动物，很多生理机能都相同。
55. B。主旨题。短文第 1 句 Motherhood may make women smarter 是主题句，据此我们可以得出答案。
