jogging”可知,作者最长跑了15英里,和女孩一比微不足道,所以他讨厌(hate)跑步。  45.B　根据上下文语境可知,作者最长跑了15英里,而女孩在为52.4英里做训练,所以应是作者的成就(achievement)看起来微不足道。 46.D　根据上文的“Between the girl...and the pure boredom of jogging”可知,作者在跑步方面的热情被浇灭,因此他决定自己再次跑步的原因(reason)只能是“如果有一条大狗追自己”。 47.C　由上文可知,作者不跑步了,再根据下文作者买了自行车,并经常骑车可知,他转向了(turned to)骑自行车。 48.B　根据上一句“I got a good bike and rode a lot.”可知,作者对骑自行车又有了浓厚的兴趣,故他梦想着(dreamed)参加自行车比赛。 49.B　根据上文可知,作者去了姐姐家。一天姐姐去上班了,作者借了(borrowed)她的自行车,去骑车了。 50.A　根据空后的“The roads there went through large valleys...riding uphill for miles at a

got back home,suddenly...”可知,作者又遇到了挫折:他被当地大约100名习惯了路况的骑自行车的人超越了(passed)。 53.D　根据“suddenly riding my bike didn􀆳t seem quite as...”可知,作者突然觉得骑自行车好像不那么有吸引力了(appealing)。 54.B　根据下文的“I􀆳ve come to accept that whatever 　　　I set for myself,they just have to be my own.”可知,从那时起,作者成熟了(matured)许多。  55.C　作者跑步和骑自行车都是他为自己设定的目标,所以作者已经开始接受这样一个事实:无论他为自己设定什么目标(goals),都必须是适合他自己的目标。 Passage 4 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者十年前决定在欧洲购房时选择了意大利,而不是法国,原因是作者在意大利受到了当地人的鼓励,感受到了他们的温暖,这让他有了家的感觉。 41.D　根据下文“After I made Italy my permanent home”以及“make a new country feel like home”可知,作者选择最喜欢的地方定居(settle)。

16.C　根据下文“started to walk through the empty airport”可知,作者和父母刚下(gotten off)飞机,走出空荡荡的机场。 17.D　根据空前“I saw a passenger suddenly fall to the ground”可知,突然看到有人倒下,作者和家人立刻(immediately)跑过去。 18.B　根据上文“dropped everything and began trying to”可知,作者的父母都是医生,他们放下了手上的东西,开始试图弄清楚(figure out)到底发生了什么。 19.A　根据空后“information card”以及下文的“the man was hypoglycaemic”可知,在男人倒下后,作者的父母询问他问题并寻找医疗(medical)信息卡。 20.B　根据空后“that the man was hypoglycaemic”可知,作者的父母确定(determined)男人因为低血糖才倒下。 21.D　根据空后“the only thing we could find was a protein bar”可知,男人倒下是因为低血糖,需要糖回升血糖,然而(However)当前只能找到一个蛋白棒,前后构成转折关系。 22.A　根据空后“it would not be enough to save him”可知,因为当前只能找到一个蛋白棒,因此作者和家人担心(worried)这不足以救助倒下的男人。 23.C　根据“Mecca, arrived at the 　23　with the flight attendants”可知,一个名叫Mecca的小男孩和空乘人员来到了现场(scene)。  24.A　根据下文“trying to save a stranger􀆳s life”可知,因为在场的人都处于混乱之中(chaos)拯救陌生人的生命,因此没人回复他。 25.C　根据上文“Mecca dug deep into his backpack”可知,Mecca在背包里翻了半天,掏出(pulled out)一块士力架。 26.D　根据上文“Within seconds of the Snickers replacing the protein bar”可知,当士力架代替了蛋白棒,男子血糖恢复,几秒钟后,这名男子就恢复了意识(consciousness)。 27.B　根据空后“this stranger􀆳s life”可知,四年级学生Mecca救了(saved)这个陌生人的命。 28.B　根据下文“His father􀆳s flight was unexpectedly canceled, 　29　 him to fly alone.”可知,他父亲的航班意外取消,迫使他独自飞行,由此可知Mecca刚刚经历了一段艰难的(tough)时期。  29.A　根据上文语境可知,他父亲的航班意外取消,迫使(forcing)他独自飞行。 30.B　根据上文“He had never flown by himself before and was very nervous.”可知,Mecca从未独自坐过航班,因此祖母在其包中装满糖果不让他焦虑(anxious)。 31.C　根据下文“they smiled from ear to ear”可知,作者将Mecca救助低血糖男人的英雄(heroic)行为告诉了Mecca的父母。 32.D　根据上文Mecca递送士力架给作者的父亲以及“was able to think about the candy”可知,Mecca的父母很惊讶,在低血糖男子倒下的紧急情况下(emergency)Mecca还能想到糖果。 33.D　根据下文“Even today Mecca􀆳s kindness continues to make me smile.”可知,在经历此事后,直到今天,Mecca的善良仍然让作者微笑,由此可知,Mecca拯救陌生人的经历激励着(inspired)作者。 Passage 8 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在位于Garfagnana的度假小屋小住的时候,邻居送给了自己一些西红柿和红酒,刚开始作者觉得这些土特产没有“颜值”,后来却被它们的味道征服。作者由此感慨,当季的当地食材是最好的。 41.D　根据下文可知,有人送给他们西红柿和红酒,所以他们应该是和周围的人比较熟识,据此推断,他们在那里待(stayed)了一段时间。 42.A　make one􀆳s way是固定词组,意为“去;前往;到……地方去;前进”,主语可以是人,也可以是物,符合语境。search one􀆳s way探路;squeeze one􀆳s way挤出去;feel one􀆳s way摸索着前进。 43.B　本题要根据常识进行推断。Mario给作者送了土特产,说明他是当地人,所以应该是邻居(neighbor)而不是顾客、亲戚或者乘客。 44.C　根据下文的his kindness可知,Mario给作者带来了(bring)一个装着红酒和西红柿的箱子。 45.D　根据上文可知,Mario送给作者土特产,这是他友好的表示(gesture)。本题考查gesture的熟词生义:(表明感情或意图的)姿态,表示。 46.A　根据下文的“These can􀆳t be any 　　　”可知,作者有点担心(worried)这些东西不好吃。  47.C　根据上文的“they were so misshapen”可知,西红柿的形状不规则,不像在超市买到的那种好看的、圆圆的、有光泽(shiny)的东西。 48.B　因为西红柿长得太丑,所以他们觉得不好吃(good)。 49.B　虽然东西看起来不好看,但是为了感激(thankful for)Mario的好意,他们还是尝了尝(tried)。 50.A　下文“reminded me of the ones my uncle used to grow when I was a child”是作者的感慨,据此推断,他们品尝了(tried)西红柿。本题考查try熟词生义。 51.C　西红柿长得不好看,但是味道很好,作者得出结论:根据外表来评判所食之物是不明智的(unwise)。 52.A　根据上文的“they were so misshapen”可知,作者一开始是根据外表(appearance)来评判这些西红柿的。 53.D　品尝了西红柿之后,作者发现它们的味道(taste)让自己想起了小时候叔叔种的西红柿。 54.B　超市里的西红柿看起来(look)很完美,但是没有味道,这与Mario带来的西红柿形成对比。 55.A　根据前文“Nowadays supermarket tomatoes...perfect but taste of water.”以及前文中曾说过Mario的番茄让作者想到儿时吃过的叔叔自己家种的美味番茄,超市的番茄看起来很完美,但味道寡淡,长期只吃超市里的番茄几乎使人忘掉过去的愉快记忆,这一点更衬托出Mario的番茄的美味,happy“愉快的”更符合上下文语义。 56.D　好在人们还没有为了更好包装(pack)而种出方形的西红柿。 57.A　Mario的酒可能有点浑浊,而且用一个旧瓶子装着,但是相当好(perfect)。 58.C　能吃到当季的(in season)、当地的东西是很好的。 59.D　根据上文并结合常识可知,Mario送给他们的西红柿就是在当地长出来的(grown)。 60.B　Mario给予(given)他们的是Garfagnana的味道。 Passage 9 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者主要讲述了在过去的十年中,一家人外出旅行的美好回忆。虽然旅途中也会出现意外和危险,但作者一家人对下一次旅行仍然充满期待。 41.C　根据上文的wonderful camping experiences和下文的两个事例可知,作者觉得对往事的一些回忆(memories)是有趣的。idea“想法,主意”;joke“笑话”;discovery“发现”。 42.A　根据上文的wonderful camping experiences和最后一段出现的camper可知,此处讲述的是一家人露营(camped)的经历。drive“驾驶,开车”;walk“行走,散步”;cycle“骑自行车”。 43.D　根据常识并结合下文的would fall into the creek可知,此处表示作者担心(worried)15个月大的儿子会掉进小溪里。annoyed“生气的,恼火的”;surprised“惊讶的”;disappointed“失望的”。 44.C　根据常识和下文的his crying let the whole campground know it可知,把绳子拴在小孩子的腰上,小孩子肯定感觉不舒服(uncomfortable)。unhurt“未受伤的”;unfortunate“不幸的”;unafraid“不害怕的”。 45.B　根据下文的I just kept a close eye on him可知,作者不再把孩子用绳子拴住,而是密切关注着孩子的一举一动。instead of“代替,而不是”,符合语境。due to“由于,因为”;apart from“除了”;as for“关于,至于”。 46.A　根据下文的he didn􀆳t end up in the creek可知,作者的这个办法奏效(worked)了,15个月大的儿子没有掉进小溪里。happen“发生”;matter“要紧”;change“改变”。 47.D　根据常识并结合下文的but storms move in fast in the mountains可知,作者一家人出发(headed off)时,天空是晴朗的。sign up“报名”;calm down“安静,镇静”;check out“得到证实”。 48.B　根据上文的storms move in fast in the mountains可知,作者一家人的美好行程由于暴风雨中断(interrupted)了。arrange“安排”;complete“完成”;record“记录”。 49.A　根据语境和常识可知,此处为环境描写,暴风雨来临之前,肯定是风(wind)起雷鸣。noise“响声,吵闹声”;temperature“气温”;speed“速度”。 在做完形填空的题目时,如果没有上下文的关键信息,可根据生活常识进行判断和取舍。比如本题,当暴风雨即将来临时,肯定会出现刮大风的情况。 50.C　根据常识并结合下文出现的dead motor可知,作者的丈夫一看天气突变,立刻去发动(start)汽车马达。find“发现”;hide“躲藏”;fix“修理”。 51.A　根据下文的“We were stuck in the middle of the lake with a dead motor.”可知,运气(luck)不佳,作者一家被困在湖中,汽车熄火了。answer“答案”;wonder“惊讶,惊奇”;signal“信号”。 52.D　根据上文内容并结合常识可知,作者一家在暴风雨中被困,此时一定感到非常无助(helplessly)。patiently“耐心地”;tirelessly“不知疲倦地”;doubtfully“怀疑地”。 53.C　根据上文内容可知,这时一个渔民出现了,他帮助作者一家人摆脱了困境,转危为安(safe)。sorry“遗憾的”;brave“勇敢的”;right“正确的”。 54.D　根据第一段出现的wonderful camping experiences和空后的wondering what camping fun可知,作者一家人对未知的旅行充满了兴奋(excitement)感。relief“宽慰”;duty“责任,义务”;pride“自豪,骄傲”。 55.B　根据上文列举的两个例子可知,作者一家人的旅行充满了快乐,但也有一些冒险(adventure)的经历。failure“失败”;performance“表演,表现”;conflict“矛盾,冲突”。 Passage 10 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者因为自己单簧管演奏得不好,感到很沮丧,决定逃避。在妈妈的启发下,作者决定面对恐惧,找到老师寻求帮助,最终解决了问题,也战胜了自己的恐惧。 16.D　根据下文“But as most students progressed, I seemed to fall behind.”可知,上下文为转折关系。年初进展顺利(smoothly),但随着大多数学生的进步,我似乎落后了。 17.A　根据上文“I seemed to fall behind”可知,我似乎落后于其他同学。由此可知,我认为自己演奏不好,会搞砸的(mess up)。 18.C　根据上文“I seemed to fall behind”可知,我演奏得不好,虽然节奏很好,但演奏不在调上,音调是另一回事,“my tone was another story”用来描述演奏不在调上。 19.A　根据上文“Did you practice your lesson?”可知,老师质疑我的演奏,怀疑我没有练习。由此可知,我为此感到羞愧(ashamed)。 20.A　根据上文可知,老师质疑我的演奏,怀疑我没有练习。由此可知,我感到很羞愧,感觉世界瞬间崩溃了(crashing)。 21.B　根据下文“I grew increasingly upset”可知,我的状态越来越糟糕(worse)。 22.B　根据上文“I hated playing the clarinet”和“With the day of the new performance approaching, I grew increasingly upset.”可知,因为对即将到来的表演感到恐慌(panic),所以我请了病假。 23.C　根据上文可知,我请了病假,这是一种让我解脱的容易的(easy)方式,我可以不再面对单簧管表演。 24.C　根据下文“why are you crying”可知,我的眼泪流了下来(flowing)。 25.A　根据句中“I realized I wanted to stay in band and...”可知,我认为妈妈的话“If you really want to quit, why are you crying?(如果你真的想退出,为什么要哭?)”说得很有道理(had a point),如果我真想退出,就不会哭。 26.D　根据句中“created a black hole”可知,我无法面对我的恐惧,就像给自己创造了一个黑洞,很难爬(climb)出来。 27.B　根据“stand up to even the worst of them”可知,我下定决心(resolution),不躲避自己的恐惧。 28.D　根据上文可知,我下定决心,不躲避自己的恐惧,即使是最糟糕的恐惧,我也要与之对抗,这样才能找到解决办法(solution)。 29.A　根据句中“The next day I met with my band teacher and told her I was having a problem”可知,第二天,我见到了我的乐队老师,告诉她我有一个问题,我不理解(figure out)为什么会这样。figure out意为“理解;想出”;give away意为“赠送”;think over意为“仔细考虑”;make up意为“编造”。 30.D　根据句中“She asked me gently to play for her.”可知,她得知我的问题后,没有冲我大喊大叫(shout)。 31.D　根据句中“I could play well”可知,我之前一直演奏不好,突然能演奏得很好,这令我感到惊讶(surprise)。 32.C　根据句中“My problem was solved”可知,我的问题解决了,我的恐惧消除了(removed)很多,不再那么害怕演奏了。 33.B　根据 “I overcame my fear”可知,回首(Looking back)往事,我很高兴我克服了恐惧。 34.A　根据上文可知,因为我没有面对自己的恐惧,陷入了困境,无法面对生活。由此可知,恐惧会消耗(consume)一个人生活中的一切。 35.D　根据上文“by not facing my fears, I had created a black hole that would be difficult to 　26　 out of”可知,躲避恐惧只会造成一个洞,人被困在(trapped)里面。   Passage 11 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者和男友通过宠物相识、相知和相爱的过程。 41.C　根据本句中的 “nearly enough to keep my loneliness at bay” 得知是它们的陪伴(companionship)几乎足以让作者远离孤独。ownership“所有权”;membership“会员”。 42.A　去年,作者开始约会了,但是有所保留(reservations)。 reservation“保留”;expectation“期望”;confidence“信心”;prejudice“偏见”。 43.D　作者第一次和Steve约会时,得知(learned)他有一只狗和一只猫。fear“害怕”;doubt“怀疑”。 44.D　虽然作者对于他是一位动物爱好者感到很兴奋(thrilled),但是作者担心(worried)三只狗或许太多了,而且作者的狗可能会攻击他的猫。 45.B　见上题解析。predict“预测”;regret“后悔”;insist“坚持”。 46.A　根据上文提到的猫的名字“and a cat,Flora”和本句中的“the cat”可得出答案。 47.B　根据本段后文的描述得知,他们在一起遛狗(walked)dogs。 48.A　根据上一句天气很热得知,这里是说他们停下来喘口气(catch our breath)。 49.C　根据文章第二段提到第一次约会,第三段提到“The next week”可知,他们约会才不长时间,所以作者认为Steve要向自己求婚进展太快了(soon)。calm“冷静的”。 50.D　根据上一句 “He poured water from a bottle into his hand and offered it to my dogs.(他把瓶子里的水倒在自己手心里喂给我的狗喝)”可知作者在那一刻(In that moment)爱上了Steve。 51.A　他们继续(continued)约会,尽管他们都没有谈及未来。intend“打算”;pretend“假装”。 52.D　根据下文提到的“I worried that Tilly...climbing the stairs could reopen the wound(我担心Tilly爬楼梯会使伤口裂开)”推断出应该是在狗的腿部(leg)做了手术。 53.B　作者一天带狗出去四次,所以她担心Tilly不断地爬楼梯会使伤口裂开。constantly“重复不断地”;eventually“最终”;unwillingly“不情愿地”。 54.C　上文提到Tilly做了腿部手术,可是一天需要出去四次,作者担心爬楼梯狗会把伤口挣开。下文提到“The three dogs formed a pack”和“We made good housemates.”可知Steve推荐了(suggested)他的房子,让作者和他一起居住。 54 题是个难点。特别注意完形填空重在考查结合上下文语境选出符合行文逻辑的最佳答案。根据下文提到三只狗在一起没有侵犯猫的领地,并且作者和Steve成了好室友可知,Steve推荐了他的房子是最佳答案。 55.C　根据下文提到的“Steve and I formed a good team” 可知这里想说:一切都很顺利(fine)。 56.B　根据上文的“一切都很顺利”,推测出作者前文提到的担心自己的狗会攻击Steve的猫的情况应该没有出现。再结合本句中的“with coaching (经过培训)”可知这三只狗应该是尊重(respected) Flora(猫)的空间,没有侵犯它的领地。 56 题是个难点。读者一不留神就容易选择侵占(occupied),因为前半句提到 “The three dogs formed a pack (三只狗形成了一个群体)”读者会认为肯定没有猫的活动领地了。但是这样想就忽略了文章整体的思路和上下文语境。读者需要扩大阅读范围。上文说“All worked fine(一切都很顺利)”,下文提到“Steve and I formed a good team (我和Steve组成了一个很好的团队)”,怎么会出现狗和猫相处不融洽的情况呢?所以这里不能选择侵占,而要选择体现和谐相处的词:尊重。 57.B　作者和Steve合作愉快,共同照顾Tilly。care for“照料,照顾”。 58.A　一年后,令作者高兴(delight)的是,这个人向我求婚了。credit“信用”。 59.C　由上文提到的Steve单膝跪下是为了迎合狗的高度给狗喂水推断,这里的意思是:“他没有下跪,我也不需要(need)他这样做。” trust“信任”;aid“救助”。 60.D　根据上文的“He poured water from a bottle into his hand and offered it to my dogs.” 可知,给狗喂水(water)使作者和Steve走到了一起。 Passage 12 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者小时候在一家烘焙厂兼职三天的工作经历。 41.C　结合语境可知,此处表示Betsy的父亲是一家烘焙厂的经理,这家烘焙厂制作小兔子蛋糕。 42.A　此处表示这家烘焙厂为Cleveland的所有商店制作小兔子蛋糕。store“商店”;family“家庭”;school“学校”;citizen“市民”。 43.D　此处表示需要八个孩子临时帮忙。generous“大方的”;financial“经济的”;technical“技术的”;temporary“临时的”。 44.A　此处表示作者除了听最喜欢的唱片之外没有别的计划。plan“计划;打算”;problem“问题”;excuse“借口;理由”;hobby“业余爱好”。 45.B　根据下文作者去工作以及空后的wage可推知,此处表示“挣”工资。offer“提供”;earn“挣;获得”;set“放置;使处于”;suggest“建议;暗示”。 46.A　句意:我想看看工厂是如何运作的。work“运作”;close“关闭”;develop“发展”;survive“幸免于难”。

on a moving belt可知D项正确。save“节省;拯救”;keep“保持”;stop“阻止”;remove“移开;拿开”。 50.A　结合上面“我”的工作职责及后文的表述可知,此处表示这比听起来要难得多。 51.B　结合语境可知,此处表示工作的速度稍微慢一点就会出现蛋糕堆积的情况。calm down“镇静下来”;slow down“放慢速度”;stay on“继续停留”;move on“前行;继续前进”。 52.C　此处表示“我”告诉父母一切都比“我”预期的要更有压力。indicate“暗示”;witness“目睹”;expect“预期;盼望”;remember“记得”。 53.B　上文提到作者在吃晚饭时告诉父母工作比他预料的要更有压力,且根据下文父亲对工作的正面评价可推知,此处表示父亲笑着告诉他这些道理。 54.D　结合空前的The son of a grocer可知,此处表示他童年的夏天都在Bernardsville运送食物。taste“品尝”;find“发现”;share“分享”;deliver“传送”。 55.D　此处表示这种工作能让你对自己挣的钱心存感激,并尊重那些从事这项工作的人。withdraw“撤退;收回”;donate“捐赠”;receive“接收”;appreciate“感激”。 Passage 13 【语篇导读】本文是记叙文。讲述了警察王先生在过去的38年里,多次假扮别人,甚至学会了讲不同的方言,不顾危险混入犯罪团伙,成功破案的故事。 41.D　根据画线单词后面的“different dialects”可知,在过去的38年里,王先生多次假扮别人,他甚至学会了讲(speak)不同的方言,这让他被称为“奥斯卡获奖演员”。 42.C　根据“a group of thieves often sold stolen goods”和“As long as I get close enough,no criminal can...”可知,抓罪犯的应该是警察,所以这位60岁的老人不是演员,王先生是一名警察(policeman)。 43.A　根据“than any real actor”他比任何真正的演员都更专注于他的“角色”。可知,他投身于演员的角色(role)中。 44.B　根据“In the 1990s,a group of thieves often sold stolen goods with the help of some beggars.”可知,为了调查这个案子,这是一起犯罪案件(case)。 寻找提示信息,重视语境意义 完形填空题中虽然穿插了对语法、词义辨析、固定搭配的考查,但对文章故事情节发展的逻辑推理的考查仍是重点,利用语篇暗示信息是解答此类语境题的关键。考生在做题时要有全局观念,要把每个空白处的含义与前后句的意思联系起来理解,进行合乎逻辑的推理判断。设空前后通常有暗示,多表现为后文暗示前文。同时,考生要注意准确把握文章的发展脉络和起承转合,要注意段与段之间、句与句之间的内在逻辑关系。 45.B　根据“Dirty shorts and old shoes gave him the...”可知,他穿着旧衣服和旧鞋子,伪装自己,混入(joined)乞丐中。interviewed采访;joined 加入;arrested 逮捕;assisted协助。 46.C　根据“ Dirty shorts and old shoes”可知,肮脏的短裤和旧鞋子使他看起来像一个真正的乞丐这是描述外表(appearance)。 47.D　根据“ his convincing dialect soon won him the 　　　　”可知,他的着装以及地道的方言,赢得了乞丐们信任(trust)。  48.A　根据“...them to drink alcohol”以及下文“they began to talk a

staring at her(他仍然盯着她看) ”可知,中年男子一直在看着(watching)一名年轻的女子。此处为同义词复现。 利用词汇复现,寻找近义词语 词汇复现是语篇衔接的一个重要手段。它通过原词、同义词或近义词、反义词、上义词、下义词、同源词或同根词等重复出现来表达某一概念,使整篇文章上下连贯,有机地衔接在一起。因此,考生可根据文章的具体情况理解文章的结构和语境,利用文章中的语义复现来选择正确的答案。 2.A　根据空格处and 前的动词“looked down(低下头)”和空格后提到的围巾可知,女人因为感到尴尬而低头故意整理(adjusted)围巾。 3.D　根据上文的“As the night wore on,people began to close their eyes(夜渐渐深了,人们开始闭上眼睛)”可知,此处指座位太不舒服了,只有睡得很沉的人才能设法休息(rest)。 4.C　根据“She looked back at him with fire in her eyes”以及空格后too可知,作者和那位女士的情绪一样是生气的(angry)。 5.B　根据下文的“but the woman dropped off to sleep”中的but可知,小男孩仍然(still)醒着。 6.B　根据下文的“one leg went over it”可知,他开始爬上(climb)半开着的窗户——一条腿跨过了窗户。

9.C　根据上文可知,女人对男人的印象不好,女人醒来看到男人抓着自己的孩子,一定是恐慌的(panic)。 10.A　根据空格前的 “Your child has been looking for an opportunity to climb out of the window”和“So I have been watching the whole time” 可知,女人对男人的印象不好,但是男人却在时刻注意着她的孩子,所以女士感到惊讶(astonished)。 Passage 15 【语篇导读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章的作者通过作护士期间遇到的一位女病人为例,表达了我们应该对别人的付出表示真诚的感谢,即使他们只做了自己份内的事情。 41.C　根据第三段中的to each of us in the nursing team,可知,“我”是一名护士。 42.A　句意:我那时想,如果我们有一系列表达不同程度的感谢的词汇,(感谢)将会变得很容易。这里的grade指“程度”。 43.B　下文的故事内容是用来说明“我”的这一想法的。作者的想法很快就得到了检验。brush aside不理会;put...to the test对……加以检验;bring... under discussion引起讨论;take... into account 把……考虑在内。 44.D　句意:我们有位女病人正处于膝盖置换手术的康复期。depart出发;escape逃避,逃离;retire退休;recover康复。 45.A　根据下文的get into bed she collapsed可知,这位女病人尝试上床时,摔倒了。 46.A　此处表示摔倒的原因最后被诊断出是心脏病发作。eventually最后;fortunately幸运地;casually随意地;secretly秘密地。 47.B　根据前半句摔得非常严重可知,需要紧急医疗队和良好的团队合作。 48.C　根据前半句的she recovered及其后的though可知,这里是说虽然康复很慢,但是四周后她准备出院。 49.A　根据上文得知病人康复后,是感激医疗护理团队的付出。grateful感激的;thoughtful考虑周到的;sorrowful悲伤的;fearful恐惧的。 50.B　这里是说她康复了,“我”们都为她感到高兴。surprise惊讶;delight高兴;curiosity好奇;disappointment失望。 51.D　上文提到这位女病人要康复出院了,所以这里指她离开。 52.C　上文提到要离开,所以这里指要和所有护理人员说再见。 53.A　这位女病人在和大家告别时,她走到一个护士身边。 54.D　根据本句开头的“我”同事,和下半句中的“我”们只是做了自己的本职工作可知,这位护士拒绝了病人的好意。 55.B　根据just可知,这里想说只是做了应做的工作。 56.C　根据上一句护士的反应可知,女病人知道这位护士曲解了她的本意,于是她做出回答。 57.D　结合女病人的反应以及后一句的回应,可以看出女病人不是因为自己在医院得到的照顾而感谢护士。 58.B　结合上一句,女病人把护士对她的护理工作当成了理所当然(take...as a given)的事情。 59.C　结合全文线索可知,这里是医护人员救病人的生命。 60.D　结合文章内容可知,在病人看来,救命是医生和护士的职责所在,但是替病人整理头发却是额外工作。 一、研读首句(找主题) 二、上下联系(寻信息) 三、左顾右盼(找搭配) 四、思前想后(觅逻辑) 五、把握主线(定情景) 六、分析语境(辨词义) 七、集中精力(破难题) 八、复读检查(补漏洞) 第58题是个难点,正确答案涉及的这个用法是平常学习中未接触过的。我们通过“左顾右盼”分析出本句中的that指上一句提到的护士对病人的照顾,从下一句得知病人给护士的钱不是因为感谢照顾而给的。由此可以判定,病人把这种照顾当作医生的分内事。下一步我们逐个分析选项的基本含义:goal目标;given认定的事实;push推动;greeting问候。照顾病人是护士给予病人的工作职责,故given最合适。

out”可知,Moth的病很严重,找不到治疗方法。 38.A　A项“治愈,治疗方法”;B项“运气”;C项“关心,担心,照顾,喜爱”;D项“承诺,诺言”。没有治疗方法,只能减轻病痛。 39.B　第二段提到“hiker(徒步旅行者)”,第四段第三句提到“hiking(徒步旅行)”。 40.D　A项“预料到的,期待的”;B项“吓人的,使人害怕的”;C项“令人失望的”;D项“惊人的”。前文提到Moth的疾病无法医治,而由下文第四段及第五段内容可知,Moth的病症奇迹般地减轻了,身体变得越来越好,甚至肌肉也变得比过去结实了。由此可知Moth身体的恢复是惊人的。 41.A　A项“预算”;B项“税收,收入”;C项“补偿,补救,赔偿,修正”;D项“津贴,补贴,零用钱”。由后文的“by living on boiled noodles”可知,夫妻两个在徒步旅行期间以面条为食,是为了节省旅行花费,缩减开支。 42.B　A项“频繁的”;B项“偶尔的,有时的”;C项“充分的,充足的”;D项“不断的,连续的”。前文提到夫妻两个破产、无家可归、Moth还患了重病、徒步旅行只能靠面条度日,由此可以推断汉堡也只是偶尔能吃到。 43.D　A项“不受欢迎的,不流行的”;B项“合法的,守法的”;C项“吸引人的”;D项“非法的,不合逻辑的”。由后文“To avoid being caught...”可知,在英国野外露营是非法的。 44.C　为了避免被抓,夫妻两个不得不很晚才支起帐篷,早上很早就将其收起。由后文的“early”可知答案为late。 45.A　由句意可知,这里是把这对50来岁的夫妻现在的徒步旅行和他们20来岁时的徒步旅行做比较。根据常识判断,现在的体力自然无法和年轻时相比。 46.C　A项“滚动”;B项“流血”;C项“疼痛”;D项“抖动,颤抖”。年龄大了,再加上长时间徒步旅行,身体自然有些吃不消,浑身肌肉酸痛,需要洗澡放松。 47.A　A项“斗争,挣扎,努力,拼搏”;B项“进步”;C项“兴奋,激动”;D项“研究”。句意:同时,经过初步努力和坚持,通过每天辛苦地徒步旅行Moth发现他的病症不可思议地减轻了。 48.C　A项“发展,形成,产生,冲洗胶片”;B项“控制”;C项“减少,降低”;D项“增加,上涨”。徒步旅行使他的病痛有了不可思议地缓解。 49.B　A项“最初,开始”;B项“最终”;C项“暂时地,临时地”;D项“因此”。句意:最终,这对夫妻发现他们的身体变得越来越好,而且在身上再次找到了他们原以为永远消失了的结实的肌肉。 50.D　A项“获得,得到,收获”;B项“保持,维持”;C项“伤害”;D项“失去”。 51.C　A项“缝纫”;B项“洗”;C项“穿,戴,磨损”;D项“熨烫”。根据“Our hair was fried and falling out,nails broken”可知,他们的衣服也应该破烂成布条了。 52.D　第一段提到夫妻两个因为投资失败而变得无家可归,由此可知应该选择D项“无家可归”。 53.B　A项“好地”;B项“部分地”;C项“整齐地,整洁地”;D项“最初地,原始地”。由下文“to keep writing the story”可知,这本书只是完成部分。 54.A　A项“选择”;B项“回报,报酬,酬金”;C项“诺言,承诺”;D项“破裂,休息,间断”。由后文内容可知,作者要做出选择。 55.C　A项“松散的,自由的,模糊的”;B项“满的,充分的,充实的”;C项“空白的”;D项“失去的,下落不明的”。由上文“an empty page”可知答案为C项“空白的”。 Passage 27

36.A　本题所在句子提到公交车司机心脏病发作了,再根据第二段描述的当时的场景可知,司机趴倒在方向盘上,失去了知觉,无法再操控公交车了,因此这位英语老师即后面提到的Harvold控制了公交车。take control of sth.“控制某物”。 37.B　句中from Gatwick airport说明这些学生和另外三位课程主管是从机场坐的公交车,四个选项中picked sb.up“接载某人”符合语境。take in “理解、领会”;track down“追踪到”;help out“帮……分担工作”。 38.D　本题所在句子的下文提到这些学生是去英国伯恩茅斯一家语言学校学习语言的,因此他们乘坐公交车去他们的寄宿家庭与房东见面。meet在句中表示“初次与人结识;见面”。

41.C　根据最后一段最后一句提到的驾校给Harvold提供学车的课程可以判断他还没有通过驾照考试。 42.A　Harvold和学生们一起乘坐公交车去寄宿家庭,根据这一情景可知speaking to符合语境。当时他正和学生们在车上交谈。 43.B　Harvold正和学生们交谈的时候,公交车失控撞到了路旁的树上,这时,Harvold应当是朝着司机的方向看过去,所以noticed符合语境。

【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者15岁时,在实验室电脑零件不见后,为了引起关注,他提出了实验室的门也可能被其他钥匙打开,并现场演示,从而被怀疑是小偷。父亲到场后坚信儿子不是小偷,这让作者明白了取得别人真正的认可应来自自身高尚行为的道理。 1.C　根据“I excelled academically yet felt overshadowed and unnoticed”可知,作者学业出类拔萃但感觉不被关注,所以心中满是让自己脱颖而出的欲望(desire),这种欲望迫使他做出了一个后悔的决定。 2.A　根据“everyone wondered how...”中的“wondered(想知道)”可知,此处句意为“人们交流着好奇的(Curious)眼神”。本句中的“Curious looks exchanged”并不是一个主谓结构,而是一个独立主格结构作状语,即exchanged是一个过去分词,眼神是被交流。 3.B　根据空后句子“It􀆳s possible to open that lock with another key”可知,大家想知道这样的事情怎么会发生在一间锁着的(locked)实验室里。 4.C　根据第四段第一句中的“I found myself accused of stealing the missing parts”可知,作者演示了(demonstrated)如何开锁。 5.B　根据下文中的“pushing me to the edge of fear and tears”可知,怀疑的神色笼罩在(clouded)他的眼中,即作者的话没有消除校长对他的怀疑。 6.A　根据空后的“pushing me to the edge of fear and tears”可知,校长反复的询问(questioning)越来越严厉。 7.D　根据“In a desperate attempt to escape the mounting pressure”可知,作者错误地(falsely)承认了。 8.C　根据上文语境可知,作者被迫承认偷了东西,现在校长请来了父亲。结合常识,父亲的到来会带给处于困境中的作者一丝宽慰,但同时作者也会因自己为了引起关注而犯下的错误感到羞愧(shame)。 9.B　根据“I confessed my misguided longing for recognition”可知,作者泪流满面地(Tearfully)承认了自己的错误。 10.D　根据“true recognition comes from honourable acts”可知,与recognition相对应的应是attention(关注),即(他人的)关注(attention)不能强求。 Passage 2 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者的性格很害羞,来到新学校后更加害羞,不爱说话。于是老师让作者写一篇五页的“我为什么不应该在课上讲话”的文章。作者写的文章很搞笑,第二天当老师在课堂上读作者的文章时,同学们都笑了起来。 1.B　根据上文的“I was always timid”和“even”可知,前后是程度的加深,“我”很害羞,所以刚到新的学校更加害羞了(shyer)。 2.D　根据下文“Now I was paying the price —to write a five-page essay on ‘Why I Should Not Talk in Class’ .”可知,当老师想让作者和同学们说话时,作者认为和身边的任何人聊天(chat)这是很令人惊讶的。 3.C　根据上文“to write a five-page essay on ‘Why I Should Not Talk in Class’” 可知,此处write是同词复现,作者开始写这篇五页的文章。 4.A　根据“I began with the reasons Ms Black would want to hear”可知,作者以谈话会妨碍学习(learning)来解释,说明自己爱学习,这也是老师愿意听到的。 5.B　根据上文“Without the education I was throwing away, I􀆳d turn to theft and go to prison. When I got out, people would say, ‘She used to talk in class.’”可知,作者想出了很多理由,写出了很多内容,所以此处用flying by来说明作者飞快地写出了很多页。 6.C　根据下文“Five pages! That􀆳s impossible!” 可知,作者认为自己不可能写完这五页的内容,所以在抱怨(complaining)。 7.A　根据下文“at least an ‘I hope you􀆳ve learned your lesson’”可知,作者有点期待被妈妈教训一顿。此处lecture和lesson为同义词复现。 品味语境,辨词义 完形填空的四个选项一般为同一类词性的单词或短语,这些词和短语有的意思相近,有的意思大相径庭。如果脱离上下文语境或只看句子中的一部分,大部分情况下四个选项都正确。如果放在整篇文章提供的语境中,利用上下文提供的各种暗示信息进行分析,最佳答案就只有一个。所以作答时,一定要从整体语境上把握文章的内容,正确理解上下文的逻辑关系,认真比较所给出的选项,从中选出最符合上下文语境的答案。如本题,从单句来看,lecture(教训),reason(理由),reward(奖励)和solution(解决办法)四个选项都正确。但是,根据下文的“at least an ‘I hope you􀆳ve learned your lesson’”判断,只有lecture与下文的语境相符。 8.D　根据“I half expected a 　7　at least an‘I hope you􀆳ve learned your lesson’”可知,作者本期待妈妈会教训他,相反(Instead),妈妈一边读一边笑。  9.C　根据下文“they weren􀆳t making fun of me: they laughed because I had the power to tell a funny story”可知,作者能判断出来(tell),他们笑是因为作者讲的故事搞笑。 10.B　根据第一段可知作者很害羞,自信心(confidence)不足,需要一些推动,但是作者写作文时不害羞,很搞笑。 Passage 3 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。一个小男孩上学去晚了,被关在了门外,小男孩推不开门,于是大冬天在门外等了很久,直到老师不经意间发现门有动静,才注意到他被关在门外。小男孩坚定地相信老师会给他开门,这种信念让老师一直铭记于心。 1.B　根据下文“a movement of the heavy wooden door”可知,此处表示看到(spotted)门动了下。 2.D　根据下文“to ensure their safety from the bitter cold”可知,作者是小心翼翼地(carefully)领着孩子们通过那扇门。 3.B　根据下文“He had been dropped off at school late and was 　4　 to open the door.”可知,是小男孩来晚了,又开不了门,所以老师以为他没来(absent)。  4.C　根据上文“the heavy wooden door”和下文“He must have been waiting there for quite a while!”可知,门很重,小男孩无法(unable)打开。 5.A　根据上文“He was treated for frostbite on his hands.”可知,小男孩手冻伤了,所以需要时间恢复(recover)。 6.C　根据下文“Not only did he run in with energy”可知,小男孩精力充沛地跑了进来,所以他是第一批到达(arrive)学校的人。 7.D　根据下文“could be heard as loud as ever”可知,此处应指“笑声(laughter)和以前一样响亮”。 8.B　根据上文“...and wouldn􀆳t come for class the next day,I thought.”以及“I gave him a warm hug...”可知,作者以为小男孩不会来学校,所以看到小男孩的时候,应该是开心的,happy符合语境。 9.A　根据上下文语境可知,在寒冷的周一早晨,小男孩在门口等了很久,才等到大人出现(show up)给他开门。 10.C　根据上文“He didn􀆳t attempt to walk back home;he waited and trusted.”可知,小男孩在门口等了很久,却没有试图回家,说明小男孩有很强的信念(faith)。 Passage 4 【语篇导读】本文是夹叙夹议文。作者喜欢表演,哥哥喜欢冥想,二者性格爱好完全不同,关系紧张。在作者遭遇失败时,哥哥教给他冥想,作者从中悟出了做事的哲理,并最终取得了成功。 16.B　句意:我们看起来像双胞胎,但实际上我们是完全不同的。同时根据下文“my older brother 　17　 meditation,while I was a born 　18　 who preferred the theatrical,”可知,哥哥喜欢冥想而作者喜欢表演,前后对比可知,二者性格不同(different)。   17.B　句意:到我们上中学的时候,很明显,我哥哥更喜欢冥想,而我是一个天生的表演者,喜欢戏剧,即使是在舞台下。并根据句中对比的内容“while I was a born 　18　 who preferred the theatrical”可知,哥哥更喜欢(preferred)冥想。prefer为同词复现。  18.D　根据“the theatrical,even when off stage”和下文的“in time for the trial performance”可知作者是一位天生的表演者(performer)。performer为同义词分析。 19.A　根据上句“I took his relative silence to be offensive.”及下文“a tense relationship with my brother”可知,作者和哥哥性格和爱好不同,作者甚至认为哥哥相对沉默是一种冒犯,可知两人相处(get along)得不好,关系紧张。 20.B　根据“because I was involved at school”和下文“I practised singing in the bedroom every day”可知,作者在学校很忙,在家依然我行我素,并不介意(mind)和哥哥的关系。 21.A　根据上文“preferred the theatrical”和下文“I practised singing in the bedroom every day”可知,尤其是(in particular)当作者专注于音乐剧的世界的时候。 22.C　根据“I practised singing in the bedroom every day”可知,作者每天练习,保持最佳状态,竞争(competitive)角色。 23.D　根据句意:就算没有我吵闹的歌声,他也会觉得高中已经够难的了。哥哥经常冥想,作者认为即使没有(without)自己吵闹的歌声,哥哥也会觉得高中很难。 24.A　根据上文“a tense relationship with my brother”和句中“we shared a room”可知,练习唱歌的空间是作者和哥哥之间的问题(issue)。 25.A　根据“my voice cracked as I switched to a head voice”可知,作者努力(struggled)学歌。 26.C　根据“declaring I had reached the ceiling of my singing career”可知,作者宣称自己已经达到了歌唱事业的顶峰,所以停止了(stopped)练习唱歌。 27.B　因为作者停止在家唱歌了,哥哥第一次在作者在家时体验到了(experienced)家里的安静。 28.C　根据下文“I accepted”可知,哥哥让作者和(join)他一起冥想,作者同意了。 29.A　根据下文“I was able to 　32　 power in my singing despite the switch to a head voice”可知,作者想优美地(gracefully)驾驭这首歌。  30.D　根据下文“It was important for me to learn that you don􀆳t have to always get everything 　33　 the first time and that good things come with continual 　34　.”可知,作者把哥哥的话作为自己的哲学(philosophy)。   31.B　与上文“I was annoyed in that period”和“my anger at my inability”呼应。作者开始因为自己唱不好生气,现在想明白了,不生气了(angry)。 32.D　根据句中“was able to”和下文“good things come with”可知,作者成功保持了(maintain)唱歌的能力。 33.B　句意:根据作者的经历和常识可知,第一次做事不一定能做好(right),好的事情总是伴随着不断的努力而来。 34.C　根据上文“I practised singing in the bedroom every day”和“I kept trying at the

【语篇导读】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了在科学课上,一名学生的手指被试管卡住,试了几个方法都不见效,但最终顺利脱险的故事。同时作者也与学生分享了自己的膝盖被卡住的经历。 36.D　根据上下文可知,这个学生的手指卡在试管里,逐渐变得越来越白。continue“继续”,符合语境。 37.A　下文提到作者建议这个学生小心地转动试管,由此可知他很镇定(calm)。 38.C　根据上文的“It wouldn􀆳t move a bit.”可知,他又试了(try)肥皂和冷水。 39.B　因为当时是在上课,其他学生看到这种情况,自然就乱哄哄了(chaos),且第三段第一句也有暗示。 40.D　根据下文的“to our secretary”可知,作者把这个学生送到了(sent)秘书那里。 41.A　根据下文的“three kids of her own”可知,秘书抚养(raising)三个孩子。 42.D　根据“who was a miracle (奇迹) worker”可知,作者有信心(confident),秘书能搞定这件事情。 43.A　根据“my own story”和第四段的第一句“Hearing my story”可知,作者与学生分享了(shared)自己的经历。 44.B　根据下文的“how far I could thrust my knee between the rails”可知,此处为原词复现。 45.C　根据“Same kind of curiosity”可知,此处表示作者当时很好奇,所以选wondering(想知道)。 46.A　作者想把膝盖挤进护栏里,所以一点一点地推挤(pushing)膝盖。 47.D　膝盖卡进护栏里不能动弹,由于受到挤压,自然就红肿(swelling)起来。 48.B　根据“at a popular Las Vegas hotel!”可知,应该是很多陌生人目睹了这个过程,故填strangers。 49.C　根据“many students followed with their own...”可知,作者讲完后,很多学生又讲了自己的身体某个部位被卡住的故事(stories)。 50.A　根据前面的“heads, arms, fingers stuck in places they shouldn􀆳t...”可知,这些身体部位本来不应该在被卡住的地方。因此选be。 51.B　上文提到“whiter and whiter”,此处提到“...to a lovely shade of pink”。由此可知,手指又恢复到了(return to)粉红色。 52.D　根据下文提到的“He􀆳s only twelve. I too got my knee unstuck,”可知,作者不能生他的气(get mad at)。 53.C　作者在众目睽睽之下,膝盖卡在了栏杆里,自然是非常尴尬(embarrassment)。 54.B　根据“I was 　55　 fifty years old when this happened.”可知,作者的膝盖被卡住不能拿年轻(youth)做借口,是愚蠢导致的,毕竟(after all)当时他已经50岁了。  55.C　参见上题解析。 Passage 6 【语篇导读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。时间比金钱珍贵,但是我们可能拥有太多的时间吗?作者把高中生活与大学生活做比较,把自己的生活与老同学的生活做比较,最后用一句谚语做总结:要想效率高,就要将事情交给忙人做。

41.B　前文说,“我”在小学教书。每天,27个孩子走进教室。根据下文可知,这里的The Thinking Laboratory就是后面提到的Room 104。build “建造”;enter“进入”;decorate“装饰;装修”;run“奔跑”。 42.A　上文提到的The Thinking Laboratory是孩子们投票决定的Room 104的名字。rule“规则”;brand“品牌”;plan “计划”。 43.D　孩子们之所以把他们的教室称为The Thinking Laboratory是因为他们原来教室的名字Room 104太过平凡。dull“枯燥无味的;单调的”。 44.B　句意:弗雷迪是一个普通的学生,但他不是一个普通的人。scholar“学者”;citizen“公民”;worker“工人”。 根据同义复现答题 在把握语篇,依托语境的基础上,运用词汇复现技巧能快速准确地找出正确答案。这类题多为同义词、近义词和反义词的复现或同义词、近义词和反义词异形复现的形式。如该题,上文42空后面有students,下文第四段中也提到students,由此可知,此处指“一个普通的学生”。 45.D　句意:碰到开心的事情他笑得最爽朗,对于任何人的不幸他都会最伤心。laugh“笑;大笑”。

51.D　assessment“评估;评价”;comment“评论”;instruction“用法说明”;update“提供的最新信息”。这里的意思是原来的老学生总是会提供一些老同学的新信息。 52.A　graduation“毕业”;retirement“退休”;separation“分开;隔离”;resignation“辞职”。根据后面的from high school可知,这里指毕业。 53.C　前文说,弗雷迪非常具有同情心,这里说,他依然是“我”四十年前见到的那个具有爱心的人。daring“大胆的”;modest“谦虚的”;caring“关心人的”;smart“聪明的”。 54.B　根据前面的overnight和homeless可知,他让这个无家可归的人在他的卡车里睡觉。

teaching”也有所提示。 57.C　一位女士很不好意思地打断了“我”讲课,然后递给“我”一个信封。regret“后悔;遗憾”;avoid“避免”;excuse“原谅;宽恕”;ignore“忽视;不理睬”。这里是打断别人时的用语,因此用excuse。 58.A　根据后面的“Inside were the ‘Verbs’ shirt and...”可知,这里的意思是“我停止教课,打开了信封”。 根据上下文语境答题 首先分析前后句的句子结构,了解句子所表达的意思,然后根据上下文的语境对选项做出正确的选择。如该题,上文提到了an envelope,下文提到了Inside were the...,由此判断,作者是打开了(open)信封。 59.C　根据后面的“Freddy passed away on Thanksgiving.He wanted you to have this.”可知,这是弗雷迪的妈妈写的便条。picture“图片”;bill“账单”;note“便条;通知”;diary“日记”。 60.B　虽然弗雷迪离开了我们,但是我们都从弗雷迪身上学到了很多。这里的took与上文的was taken呼应。 考点3　社会类 Passage 1 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者从Pilots N

45.D　根据上文内容可知,误把自己当成了人类中的一员的Emma,拒绝与雄丹顶鹤生活在一起,甚至杀死雄丹顶鹤,自然,她不可能当妈妈,生育后代。 46.C　根据上文内容可知,让濒危的丹顶鹤繁殖后代的任务非常艰巨,然而,两位动物管理员没有放弃努力和信心。 47.A　根据下文内容可知,两位动物管理员采用人工繁殖与自然繁殖相结合的方式,使Emma成功地当上了妈妈。 48.D　根据上文内容可知,此处表示“使得Emma能够生下五只小丹顶鹤”,不是强迫、禁止和教导。enable“使能够”符合语境。 49.C　根据语境可知,保护野生动物的前景不容乐观,在他们得到保证之前,还需要做很多的努力。 50.D　根据下文的“headed toward extinction”可知,野生丹顶鹤的数量还在不断下降,前景堪忧。on the decline“在逐渐下降”,符合语境。

for“购买”。 42.A　根据空前的“much of it remains inaccessible”可知,餐馆扔掉的大多数都很难要到。所以选locked,即扔掉的食物被放在“封闭的”容器里。 43.B　根据本段最后一句中的“giving me food”可知,此处填offered,意为“给他提供要扔掉的食物”。 44.A　根据该空后的“most restaurants have a policy against”可知,此处填reasons,意为“原因,理由”。 45.B　根据下一句中的“by giving me food”可知,此处应用giving away,意为“赠送”。 46.D　根据上一句可知,大多数餐馆都有规定反对赠送食物,所以有些人冒着失去工作的风险给“我”食物,应填risked,意为“冒着……的风险”。 47.C　句意:特别有趣的是不同的城市对待Dubanchet的事业的态度。根据句意可知选particularly。hardly“几乎不”;usually“通常”;particularly“尤其,特别地”;merely“仅仅,只”。 48.A　根据空后的“while the most difficult was the Czech town of Pilsen”可知,与the most difficult形成对比的应是easiest。 49.C　向商店或餐馆索要食物,应用ask,意为“请求”。 50.D　此句继续讲述他索要食物垃圾填饱肚子的难度,应填challenge,意为“挑战”。词组all the more意为“更加”。 51.C　句意:当你考虑到从法国骑自行车到波兰所需要的运动量时,这种挑战就更加严峻。此处填demanding,意为“要求高的;费力的”。 52.D　根据空后的“because after all the biking I am tired...”可知,此时应该需要快点获得食物。由此判断,此处填fast,意为“快地”。 53.B　根据空前的“after all the biking I am tired”可知,“我需要能量”。此处填energy,意为“能量”。 54.A　句意:我的胃是满的还是空的?根据下一句“That is the

【语篇导读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了由于人满为患、乱扔垃圾,作者担心乞力马扎罗山的美名不副实。可喜的是,当地政府的努力有了回报,山脉生态在慢慢恢复之中。 41.D　由上文“每年大约有四万人试图攀爬乞力马扎罗山”和下文“或许会破坏它的美感”可知,众多的登山者带来了许多垃圾。bring with“带来”。 42.C　由上文可知,每年约四万人攀爬乞力马扎罗山,拥挤的人群(及所带来的垃圾)或许会影响它的美感。crowds“拥挤的人群”。 43.C　由上文可知,此处表示冰川正在消融,改变着乞力马扎罗山的面貌。face“面貌”;position“位置”;age“年龄”;name“名字”。 44.B　根据上文讲述的乞力马扎罗山的气候环境变化和下文的“其他旅游景点被描述得更加纯净天然”可知,此处意为听完这些故事,“我”对乞力马扎罗山的自然美景持怀疑态度。skeptical“怀疑的”;silent“沉默的”;serious“严肃的”;crazy“疯狂的”。 45.A　根据句首However表示转折可知,与前面的描述不同,作者不久发现了乞力马扎罗山的美。discover“发现”;argue“争论”; decide“决定”;advocate“拥护”。 46.C　此处指的是自从乞力马扎罗山上营地周围成吨垃圾的报道后,情况发生了许多变化。下文又接着讲述作者在营地和道路上看到了厕所,由此推知,上文中提到的报道指的是以前的营地是坐落在垃圾堆中的,现在干净了许多。camp“营地”;equipment“装备”;grass“草”;stone“石头”。 47.D　本句提到作者在营地和道路旁边看到了许多厕所,与在报道中出现的垃圾堆中的营地截然不同,干净卫生。 48.C　前文提到了作者担心乞力马扎罗山面临的严峻的环境问题会毁坏它在人们心目中的美的形象。此处指的是面临的环境考验是显而易见的(significant)。 49.A　本句but表示转折关系,虽然环境面临着考验,坦桑尼亚国家公园管理局做出的努力似乎挺奏效。pay off“成功;奏效;达到目的”;spread out“展开;铺开”;blow up“爆炸”;fade away“逐渐消失”。 50.B　由上文第二段中的“...other destinations are described as ‘purer’ natural experiences.”可知此空填experience。句意:在我看来,攀登乞力马扎罗山的最佳体验并不仅仅在于到达顶峰。 51.D　由下文可知,乞力马扎罗山的很多山脉被许多文化视为精神家园。be regarded as...“被视为……”。 52.A　本句进一步解释上句内容,为什么乞力马扎罗山的很多山脉被许多文化视为精神家园。随着人们在几千米的空间内穿过五种生态系统,这种“观点”尤其明显。 53.B　此处指攀登者可以在几千米的空间内穿过五种生态系统。climber“攀登者”;scientist“科学家”;local“当地人,本地人”;official“官员”。 54.D　上文讲到山脚处是雨林,它在3 000米的地方突然结束。“让位”给矮生植物。give way to“给……让位”;hold on to“坚持”;go back to“返回”;live up to“达到”。 55.A　由上文可知,有五种生态系统,所以再往上气候又有变化。 56.C　由上文可知,低云压山,茂密的草丛覆盖着山腰,本句则为从作者所站之处望去可以数到12种浓淡深浅的绿色。 57.B　此处指的是4 000米以上为高原沙漠环境。根据下文的砾石、石头和岩石可知为类沙漠环境的描述。desert“沙漠”;village“村庄”;road“道路”; lake“湖泊”。 58.D　由上文可知,作者已经讲了四种生态系统:rainforest,low growing plants,thick grass,highland desert,还有最后的也是最冷的arctic-like zone(类北极地带)。 59.A　本句意为“类北极地带上方有永久的积雪和冰川,但它们可能不久后会融化”。permanent“永久的”;little“小的”;fresh“新鲜的”;artificial“人造的”。 60.B　文章最后作者发出感慨:一个人满为患,破坏了原有宁静的乞力马扎罗山还能名副其实吗?“我”发现恰恰相反。 Passage 10 【语篇导读】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了挪威的Rjukan小镇由于安装了高科技反射镜系统,享受到了久违的阳光。 41.C　根据上文提到的“from late September to mid-March”可知,Rjukan有将近六个月接受不到阳光照射,故选nearly,意为“几乎,差不多”。only“唯一的;仅有的”; obviously“明显地”;precisely“精确地; 恰好地”。 42.D　根据下文中的“We see the sky is...”可知,当太阳照耀的时候,居民们注意到了这一点。notice“注意;留意”;fear“畏惧;害怕”;believe“相信”;hear“听到”。 43.B　当太阳照耀时,天空是蓝色的(blue);但在山谷中,天空就暗下来了。 44.A　根据上文中的“but down in the valley it􀆳s darker”可知此处表示就像是阴天(cloudy)一样。normal“正常的”;different“不同的”;warm“温暖的”。 45.B　根据下文中的“their very first ray of winter sunshine”可知,Rjukan的居民们享受到了第一缕暖阳,近半年得不到太阳照射的现象得以改变(change)。 46.C　根据下文中的“The mirrors are controlled by a computer that...”可知,小镇安装了高科技的反射镜系统,mirror意为“镜子”。 computer“电脑”;telescope“望远镜”;camera“照相机”。 47.C　根据下文中的“their very first ray of winter sunshine”可知,小镇装上了高科技反射镜系统,居民们得以接收到了(received)冬季第一缕阳光的照射。 48.D　根据上文中的“A row of reflective boards on a nearby mountainside”可知,反射板被用来反射阳光,此处用固定搭配put...to use“利用……”。 49.B　根据上文可知,这些反射镜由一台电脑控制,电脑可根据太阳位置的变化,指挥(directs)反射镜旋转。 50.A　电脑根据一整天(throughout the day)太阳位置的变化,指挥反射镜旋转,以有效反射附近山峰上的太阳光。night“夜晚”;month“月份”;year“年”。 51.C　根据下文中的“The town square was totally 　55　.”可知,应该是反射镜系统将集中的光线反射到小镇的中心广场(square)上,形成近600平方米的光区。  52.A　根据上文中的“creating an area of sunlight roughly 600 square meters”可知,当光线出现(appeared)的时候,小镇居民从四周聚集而来。return“返回”;fade“褪去,失去光泽”;stop“停止”。 53.D　根据上文可知,居民聚集到广场,或坐(sitting),或站,互相拍照。 54.A　见上题解析。take pictures“拍照”;take notes“记笔记”;take care“照顾”;take hold“抓住”。 55.B　根据下文中的“I think almost all the people in the town were there.”可知来到广场上的居民很多,因此整个广场是满的。 56.C　根据上文可知,广场上的人很多。由此可推测3,500位居民无法同时享受(enjoy)阳光。block“阻止; 阻塞”;avoid“避开,避免”;store“贮存”。 57.B　根据下文中的“more than enough”可知此处表示转折,因此选however,意为“然而”。instead“代替”;gradually“逐步地,渐渐地”;similarly“相似地;类似地”。 58.D　根据上文可知,居民近半年时间享受不到阳光照射,所以此处表示渴望阳光的(sun-starved)居民。 59.A　根据上文以及下文中的“but it is enough”可知,反射过来的阳光面积并不大(big)。 60.D　此处表示虽然阳光面积不大,但也足够居民们分享(share)。try“尝试”;wait“等待”;watch“观看”。 Passage 11 【语篇导读】本文为记叙文。流浪汉汤姆面对400英镑的诱惑最终选择将钱还给失主。当其善行在社交媒体上传播开来后,汤姆得到了人们的信任。这位“无家可归的英雄”的故事再次证明善有善报。 16.C　上文说对许多人来说一个无人看管的装有400英镑的钱包无疑是一种诱惑,结合But的转折可知,如果你是一个几乎没有什么钱和食物并露宿街头的人,这种诱惑带来的“冲动(urge)”无疑会更大。 17.B　结合上文说人们通常对于诱惑有一种渴望可知,这“更加(even)”使得无家可归的汤姆的行为更引人注目。 18.A　根据第三段中的“After hours in the cold and wet,he 　　　inside and pulled the wallet out...”可知,他看到的是一个“钱包(wallet)”。  19.C　结合下文可知,他在雨中站了大约两个小时,就是要等钱包“主人(owner)”回来取钱包。 20.D　结合下文“hoping to find some ID so he could contact(联系) the driver”可知,他“伸手(reach)”到车中,把钱包拿出来,希望能从中找到钱包主人的身份信息。 21.A　汤姆本来是想在钱包里找到物主的身份信息,却出乎意料地“发现(discover)”里面有400英镑纸币和50英镑的零钱。 22.B　汤姆“留下(leave...behind)”一张纸条,告知物主钱包是安全的,然后他去了警察局,故选B项leaving。此题若忽视了后面的behind则很容易误选D项。 23.D　这两个人看到车旁站着两名警察自然感到十分“惊讶(shocked)”。 24.A　此处两位警察向物主说明了情况,并告知他们钱包是“安全的(safe)”。此空为词语复现,由上文中的“it was safe”可知应填safe。 25.C　上文介绍了汤姆帮助了这两个人,所以此处说明他们后来能去感谢汤姆的“善行(kindness)”。 26.A　想想看今晚汤姆本可以偷走这笔钱,找个地方住下,但是他没有,他还是睡在了街上。此处用when引导定语从句,修饰tonight。 27.B　这个人一无所有,“然而(yet)”他并未将钱包据为己有,前后有转折意味,应用yet连接。 28.D　结合上文,他没有将钱包据为己有,“相反(instead)”的是,他为别人考虑。 29.A　结合上文可知,汤姆的行为证明了无家可归的人中也有“诚实的(honest)”人。 30.D　由下文“He also won praise from social media users...”可知,汤姆的行为“吸引(draw)”了公众的注意。 31.B　由上文“He also won praise from social media users...”可知,此处是说在安德森把汤姆的行为“发布(post)”到社交媒体上后,他也赢得了来自社交媒体用户的赞扬。 32.B　根据上文可知,汤姆无家可归,所以安德森在网上为他及这一地区的其他无家可归的人“筹(raise)”钱。 33.D　由上文the faith可知,此处用介词in表示对某人的信任,show the faith in sb.“对某人有信心”。此处易受空前的show影响而误选介词for。 34.C　根据语境可知,此处表示汤姆得到了工作“机会(offer)”。detail“细节”;change“变化”;application“申请”。 35.C　文章最后总结,对于汤姆来说,他的善举是改变他一生的一次“机会(chance)”。lesson“课,教训”;adventure“冒险”;challenge“挑战”。 含有介词

【语篇导读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。无论我们是否彼此相识,承诺永远都是不变的信仰。丹尼斯和一家陌生人之间发生的故事就告诉我们什么叫做“一诺千金”。 41.D　由上文可知,多数人收到未知号码发来的手机短信时往往第一反应都会说“抱歉,号码错误!”,再由下文第三段“But I think someone was mistaken”中的mistaken“错误的,搞错的,误解的”可知,答案为wrong。 42.A　该段首句及第二段首句中均用到动词get,在此为“接到,收到”短信之意。 43.B　由后文内容可知,丹尼斯收到陌生号码发来的短信,没有像别人一样忽略,而是回复并祝贺对方,还承诺到医院去看望陌生人一家。他做了别人通常不会做的事情。 44.C　A项“使……相信,使……信服”;B项“提醒,使……想起”;C项“通知,告知”;D项“警告,警示”。短信的功能就是告知信息,所以答案为informing。句意:3月19日,丹尼斯收到了一条群发短信,告诉他一对他并不认识的夫妻正在医院等待婴儿的出生。 45.D　由第三段中的“The baby was born...”可知,陌生人一家在等待婴儿的降生,所以选择arrival。 46.A　A项“回复,回答”;B项“打断,中断”;C项“预测,预料”;D项“重复”。由前文“Congratulations! But I think someone was mistaken”可知,丹尼斯回复了这条陌生人发来的短信。 47.A　由下文“she didn􀆳t seem to realize...the baby􀆳s photos with a complete stranger.”可知,这位欣喜的祖母给丹尼斯的新短信很快地发送过来。 48.C　由该段前文中的“overjoyed(万分高兴的,欣喜若狂的)”可知,答案为excitement。句意:特蕾莎处于兴奋状态,并没有意识到她正在和一位完全陌生的人分享孩子的照片。 49.D　A项“比较”;B项“交流,交换”;C项“讨论”;D项“分享”。发送短信和图片,通过这种方式一起分享幸福和快乐。 50.B　由第二段中的“a couple he didn􀆳t know”可知,丹尼斯和对方一家人并不认识。 51.A　由空前面的“new”及第二段中的“a couple”可知,这里指的是丹尼斯没来得及问清楚这对新父母在哪个房间。 52.B　由上一段中的“I will get there to take pictures with the baby”及该段中的“He turned up at the hospital...”可知,丹尼斯向对方做出了承诺,并履行了自己的诺言。 53.A　由后文的“gifts”可知,丹尼斯到医院看望这一家人,还带了礼物。 54.C　由该空后面的“unexpected(意想不到的,始料不及的)”可知,答案为astonished。句意:Lindsey的丈夫对这位“不速之客”的到来感到非常意外。 55.C　A项“承认,接纳”;B项“需要”;C项“欣赏,感激”;D项“期待,料想”。这一家人对丹尼斯的到来自然是非常感激。 56.D　由后面的“on a social networking website”可知,特蕾莎把这次邂逅的照片发布在某个社交网站上。 57.D　A项“确认,批准,证实”;B项“简化”;C项“净化,澄清”;D项“陪伴,伴奏,附加,补充”。由后文可知,特蕾莎不仅在社交网站上发布了照片,而且还附上了一些感人的文字。 58.B　句意:这个年轻人为我们一家人带来多好的福气啊!根据句意可知答案应选blessing。 59.C　丹尼斯不仅兑现承诺来看望这一家人,而且还带了礼物,因此这一家人觉得他亲切、贴心和善良。 60.B　由后文内容可知,这件事引发了全世界社交媒体用户的关注,三天内就收获了超过184 000次分享和61 500次点赞。 Passage 13 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。艾莉雅·贝克是一位伊拉克的图书管理员,图书馆就是她和图书爱好者们交流探讨的地方。她十分珍惜这些书。战争爆发后,她和朋友几经周折,先把图书转移到饭店,然后转移到郊区朋友的家里,拼尽全力保住了这些图书。 36.A　艾莉雅·贝克是图书管理员,她的图书馆就是图书爱好者们交流知识的聚会场所。故选meeting。personal“个人的”;religious“宗教的”。 37.D　他们讨论世界上的各种问题。raise“提出;抚养”;handle“处理”;report“报道”;discuss“讨论”。 38.A　根据后面的“the fires of war would destroy the books”可知这里表示担心,她担心战火会毁掉图书。doubtful“怀疑的”;curious“好奇的”。 39.B　对她来说,这些书比金山还要珍贵。因此选precious,意思是“宝贵的”。practical“实际的”,reliable“可靠的”,expensive“昂贵的”,均不符合题意。 40.C　这些书使用了不同的语言,有新书,有古书,甚至有一本已经有七百年历史的书,它是关于伊拉克历史的。这里填even,是递进关系,表示后面提到的书更珍贵。 41.A　她曾经请求政府允许她把书转移到一个安全的地方,但是政府拒绝了她的请求。permission“许可,允许”;confirmation“确认”;explanation“解释”;information“信息”。 42.D　前文提到战火,因此这里指一个安全的地方。 43.D　她只好自己想办法。她每天晚上偷偷地把书搬回家里。fortunately“幸运地”;surprisingly“令人吃惊地”;seriously“严肃地”;secretly“秘密地”。 44.C　这里表示搬运的方式,即下班后把书装到车里。fill“装,填充”。start “发动”;park “停”;test “测试”。 45.B　当战争爆发的时候,她的朋友们过来帮忙。 46.D　阿尼斯拥有一家饭店,他同意藏一部分书。intend“打算”;pretend“假装”;happen“碰巧;发生”;agree“同意”。 47.B　整个夜晚,他们把书从图书馆里搬出来,递过七英尺高的墙,然后藏到了饭店里。上文的every night与之呼应。 48.C　这里指把书从墙上递过去,故用pass。put “放”,open “打开”,throw “扔”,这些与后面的them(即the books)搭配都不符合逻辑。 49.A　根据上下文语境可知是把书“藏起来”。exchange“交换”,burn“烧”,distribute“分发”,均不符合题意。 50.C　战争期间,书一直在这里藏着。approach“接近,靠近”;erupt“爆发”;continue“继续”;end“结束”。从前文可知,战争早已爆发;从后文可知,战争仍没有结束。 51.B　九天之后,一场大火把图书馆烧成了平地。从后文可知,图书仍然是安全的,因此大火烧的不是饭店。 52.B　一天,炮弹声停下来了,士兵们离开了。但是战争仍然没有结束。 53.D　艾莉雅知道,要想让这些书安全,他们必须把它们运走。move“搬运”。 54.C　他们必须趁着城市安静的时候把书搬走。所以,她租了一辆卡车,把所有的书带到了郊区朋友的家里。 55.A　现在艾莉雅在等待战争的结束。她梦想着和平的生活和一个新的图书馆。dream of“梦想”;believe in“相信”;care about“在乎”;look for“寻找”。 Passage 14 【语篇导读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。战争期间,“我”的丈夫被派驻加利福尼亚沙漠中的一处兵营驻扎,“我”也随之前往。在那里,恶劣的自然环境与生活条件,让“我”难以忍受,于是“我”给父母写信,决定放弃而回家。父亲的回信却改变了“我”的人生态度。 21.C　“我”随丈夫去了那里生活,当然是为了离他近一点。 22.A　新的环境很差,让“我”很讨厌。可以说,“我”原来从来没有如此的不开心。 23.D　气温是如此之高,酷热难耐。unbearable“难以忍受的”,符合语境。inflexible“刻板的”;incomprehensible“费解的”;uncontrollable“不可控的”。 24.B　没有一个人可以交谈。此处表示“我”初来乍到,没有一个朋友,感觉孤独。soul“灵魂”,此处指人。 25.B　根据语境,风不停地吹,因此,吃的饭里和呼吸的空气里都充满了沙子。be filled with“充满”。 26.C　从后面提到的coming back home以及下一句中I couldn􀆳t stand it one minute longer可以看出,“我”再也无法忍受,决定放弃而回家。catch up“赶上”;keep up“继续”;give up“放弃”;get up“起床”。 27.C　“我”一分钟也受不了了,“我”宁愿去坐牢(也不待在这里)。would rather do“宁愿做”;ought to do“应该做”;might well do“很可能做”;had better do“最好做”。 28.D　前面提到“我”给父母写信,此处应该是爸爸给“我”回信。 29.D　这两行文字将永远在“我”的记忆中回响。说明爸爸给“我”的这两行文字对“我”的影响很大,它们完全改变了“我”的人生。memory“记忆”,符合语境。comparison“比较”;imagination “想象”;consideration“考虑”。 30.A　“我”反复品读这两行文字。over and over“反复地”,符合语境。by and by“不久”;up and down“上下;来回”;now and then“时不时地”。 31.C　“我”打定主意在目前的处境中寻找好的东西。situation“形势;处境”;company“公司;陪伴”;occupation“职业”;relationship“关系”。 32.B　“我”与当地居民交朋友,而他们的反应让“我”惊讶。根据后面一句可以看出,“我”与他们交朋友以后,他们对“我”的热情与真诚,因此,用“反应”一词比较贴切。movement“运动”;guidance“指导”;purpose“目的”。 33.A　当地居民对“我”很真诚,很友好,把自己最喜欢的不舍得卖给游客的工艺品送给“我”。refuse to do“拒绝做”;fail to do“没能做”;manage to do“成功做成”;happen to do“碰巧做过”。C、D两项说明物品已经卖出,而B项则是暗示这些艺术品并不受游客喜欢,与前面的favorite不符,更显不出当地居民的真诚与热情。 34.B　“我”去寻找贝壳。hunt for“寻找”,相当于search for,符合语境。ask for“请求;寻找”;wait for“等待”;head for“前往”。 35.A　从前面提到的贝壳可以推知,这片沙漠在几百万年前曾经是海底。ocean floor“海底”;ocean surface“海面”;ocean rock“海礁”;ocean level“海平面”。 36.D　上面提到的“我”的改变是令人吃惊的。astonishing“令人吃惊的”;shocking“吓人的”;challenging“具有挑战性的”;puzzling“令人困惑的”。 37.B　沙漠没有变,但是“我”变了。前后两句为转折关系,故选but。 38.A　“我”的态度改变了。attitude“态度”;principle“原则”;identity“身份”;standard“标准”。 39.D　通过改变“我”的态度,“我”把一次不开心的经历变成了一次精彩的人生历险。vacation“假期”;operation“手术”;affair“事情;事务”;adventure“冒险;历险”。 40.C　最后一句回归主题,“我”透过自己创造的牢笼,发现了群星。 考点4　文体类 Passage 1 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章描写了越野赛场上感人的一幕。选手Melanie

51.C　根据上下文语境可知,Bailey没把这件事放在心上,所以这样的一桩小事被报道让她觉得很费解(confused)。 52.D　a big deal是固定搭配,意为“大事,重要的事”。记者认为这样感人的一幕是一件大事(deal),所以进行了报道。 53.A　根据下文的“I feel like I was just doing the right thing.”可知,Bailey不能丢下(leave)Lenoue,她只是做了她认为正确的事情。 54.C　根据上下文可知,Bailey和Lenoue在赛场上是首次相遇(meet),在此之前,两个人并不认识。 55.B　设空处是文章的升华。尽管这两个人都没有赢得比赛,但是她们所展示(display)的人性的善意赢得了胜利。 Passage 2

Passage 3 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。学龄前儿童在玩捉迷藏的游戏时,通常表现出“顾头不顾尾”的滑稽样子。之前这种行为被解释为是“自我中心”的表现,但最新的实验结果表明,情况并非如此。 41.C　根据常理可知,孩子们之所以喜欢玩“捉迷藏”的游戏,是因为当他们藏起来的时候,感觉自己能够躲避(escaping)寻找者的目光,所以非常紧张刺激。 42.B　根据下文的内容可知,学龄前儿童不善于(bad)隐藏。 43.A　根据“cover only their eyes”和生活常识可知,学龄前儿童在躲藏时往往只捂住自己的眼睛,却把身体的其他部分暴露(exposed)出来。 44.D　根据本句内容可知,长时间以来,儿童的这种无效躲藏的方式被解释(interpreted)为“儿童是自我中心型生物”的证据。 45.C　根据下文内容可知,实验结果是非常令人惊讶的(surprising)。 46.C　根据下文实验的结论可知,这个结果与之前人们的想法是完全相反的(contradicted)。 47.B　根据上文出现的“young children”以及下文的“an adult”可知,此处指的是小孩子(child)。 48.D　根据下文出现的“or hear the

mouth”可知,因为大人捂着嘴巴,所以孩子们说他们不能与大人讲话(speak)。 53.C　根据上文内容可知,这是进行的科学实验,但是一次实验肯定不能得出结论,所以进行很多次实验(experiments),排除了孩子们误解问题的可能性。 54.A　根据上文出现的misunderstood可知,结果很清楚地表明,孩子们理解(comprehended)问题是什么。 55.D　根据上文出现的misunderstood以及clear可知,孩子们确切地(exactly)知道他们被问的是什么问题。 56.A　根据上文内容以及下文的questions可知,此处指的是孩子们对问题的回答(responses)。 57.B　根据下文内容可知,孩子们真实的想法(belief)是:只有你能看到我,我才能看到你。

【语篇导读】本文是夹叙夹议文。没有人天生就是赢家。多年前的一次经历让“我”明白了这个道理:人们都是通过自己的努力成为赢家的。 16.C　上一句提到,没有人天生就是赢家,故本句表达“人们通过自己的努力让自己成为赢家”。luck“运气”;test“考试,测验”;effort“努力”;nature“自然界,本能”。 17.B　作者下文讲述了自己的一次经历,故本句句意为“我从多年前的一次经历中明白了这个道理”。experiment“实验”;experience“经历,经验”;visit“参观,拜访”;show“展示,展览”。 18.D　句意:我在佐治亚州巴克斯利的一所学校里担任主教练的工作。根据第三段第三句“Being the coach of the new team,I was

were going to win”可知,那支老球队没有为比赛做准备。cheer for“为……欢呼”;prepare for“为……做准备”;help with“在……方面帮助……”;finish with“完成”。 21.A　句意:我不能相信我会处于这样的境地。believe“相信”;agree“同意”;describe“描述”;regret“后悔,遗憾”。上一句提到,对方球队没有教练,也没有为比赛做准备,这种情况下,我们被击败了,所以我不敢相信这一情况。

26.C　句意:最重要的是,我开始把他们作为赢家来对待。leader“领导”;partner“搭档,合作伙伴”;winner“赢家,获胜者”;learner“学习者”。由倒数第二段第二句中的“Instead of seeing my boys as losers”可知,“我”是按照赢家的标准来训练队员的。

35.D　句意:我帮助他们认识到自己与众不同,他们把自己锻造成赢家。honestly“诚实地”;individually“各自地,分别地”;calmly“镇静地,平静地”;differently“不同地”。由上一句可知,正是因为“我”对球员态度的不同,才使得他们获得成功。 Passage 5 【语篇导读】本文为一篇记叙文。主人公加布里埃尔最初非常排斥音乐。后来在一次音乐课上,他随意地弹着钢琴,却觉得好像没有那么讨厌音乐了。直到最后,他自己也爱上了音乐。 36.D　根据前文可知,加布里埃尔很同情地看着这些学音乐的同学,根据后文的“heavy instrument cases”可知,学生们应该是拖着沉重的乐器箱包,努力挣扎着行走在校园里。travel“旅行”;march“行军”;pace“踱步”;struggle“挣扎”。 37.D　根据上下文可知,学生们一大早拖着沉重的乐器箱包来学校练习乐器。rise up“上升”;come up“发生”;drive up“驱车来到”;turn up“出现”。 38.A　根据后文的“extra

feeling”可知他有一种不祥的预感,意识到自己其实很喜欢音乐。miss“错过”;dislike“不喜欢”;enjoy“喜欢”;deny“拒绝”。 44.B　根据句意可知,他尽力地掩藏自己那种显而易见的喜悦。hide sth.from sb.意为“瞒着某人某事”。transparent“透明的”;obvious“显而易见的”;false“错误的”;similar“相似的”。 45.D　学生在演奏音乐,老师应该是漫步在其中倾听。run“跑”;jog“慢跑”;jump“跳”;wander“漫步”。 46.A　根据句意可知,刚刚他可能弹奏得并不是特别好,所以,老师让他去看一下是否对别的乐器感兴趣。前后两句是因果关系,用because。 思前想后觅逻辑 逻辑是作者的行文方式,主要包括并列、转折、因果、让步等关系。它们之间有的通过连接词来表达,关系非常明显;有的隐含在句与句之中,关系较隐晦。作答时应根据前后的信息进行思考,准确理解上下文之间的逻辑关系。本题就是很典型的例子。 47.A　加布里埃尔是随意地弹奏钢琴,老师说他对音乐有较好的鉴赏力。have a good ear为固定短语,意为“对……有很好的鉴赏力”。 48.C　根据上下文可知,老师建议加布里埃尔去音乐器材室看是否有吸引他的乐器。occur to“发生”;take to“采取”;appeal to“吸引”;hold to“坚持”。 49.B　give a chance为固定搭配,意为“尝试一下”。本句意为:他决定尝试一下大提琴。 50.C　上文说,他是初次尝试拉大提琴,因此,应该是拉得很随意。seriously“严肃地”;proudly“自豪地”;casually “漫不经心地”;naturally“自然地”。 51.A　根据句意可知,他发现自己喜欢大提琴所以才会坚持不懈地练习。be committed to doing“致力于做……”;be used to doing“习惯于做……”;be limited to doing “把……限制在做某事的范围内”;be admitted to doing “允许做……”。 52.D　根据上下文语境可知,加布里埃尔开始热爱音乐了,这就意味着,他也要和其他学习音乐的同学一样,每天早上提前到校练习。 53.B　根据第一段的“　36　 across the campus with their heavy instrument cases”可知,此处用drag表示“拖拽”。  54.B　根据第一段第二句的“Gabriel would look pityingly at music students”可知,此时加布里埃尔也学习音乐了,他在别人眼中的形象也成了文章开头提到的他自己看其他音乐学生的样子。 55.C　根据上文可知,学音乐的学生需要提前到校练习乐器,因此,加布里埃尔就把那些不学音乐的人落在后面了。leave over“剩下,留下”;leave aside“搁置,不考虑”;leave behind“使落后,超过”;leave out“遗漏”。 Passage 6 【语篇导读】本文为夹叙夹议文。“我”的女儿凯茜通过努力,加入了一个游泳队,即使她身体不适,她也坚持训练;虽然比赛中得了最后一名,但她没有放弃。最后的颁奖仪式上,总教练把最高荣誉奖颁发给她。 16.D　由下一句中的“After years of
