1. C notice (无意中)注意到, understand 表示“理解”, 而由全文可知“I”对“a man ”并不认识, 所以排除A、
2. D as if 似乎。根据上文“kept glancing in my direction”可判断出这个人似乎认识作者。since 因为；even if 即使；though
虽然。
3. B have sth open把……打开。根据下文的内容可判断出这个人把报纸打开了, 摊放在自己的面前。flat (使)变平；cut 切
（割）；fix 使固定。
4. C pretend 假装。这个人把报纸摊放在自己面前假装在看报纸, 实际上是在监视我。
5. A see看见, 看到。从上文作者对这个人的注意可判断出see是正确答案。find 发现, 表示经过努力寻找到的事实, 与

希望的；possible 可能的。
11. D 下文“He came into the kitchen”表明这个人去了厨房。 12. A 从下文可看出这个人离开了饭店。
13. A 由于这个人对作者感到迷惑不解, 也引起作者想知道他想做什么。wish后不接名词或代词作宾语, 所以不能用
what 提问。

8. B。get over 为固定搭配，意为“爬过、克服、熬过、恢复、原谅”。 9. B。give up hope 表示“放弃希望”。
10. D。从下文得知快乐的思想可以治疗他的疾病，因此可以判断unhappy thoughts导致他体内的bad chemical changes。 11. A。instead 表示“代替”，即他想用快乐的生活来替代服药。
12. C。or 为并列连词，和happy thoughts并列的就是laughter了。
13. D。experiment为不及物动词，意思是“进行实验、做试验”，常与介词 on, with 连用。 14. A。“during the day(在白天)与下文的 at night(在晚上)相对。

1．C. 根据上文的retire可知，他想离开自己的工作，故选C项leave。
2．A.。leisurely悠闲的，慢悠悠的；lonely孤独的；orderly有秩序的，有条理的；friendly友好的。根据常识可知，人们
退休了以后，生活常是悠闲的，故选A项。
3．C. 退休了以后，老人可以更好的享受家庭的乐趣，选C项enjoy最佳。
4．B. go off开火、爆炸，（电灯等）熄灭；get by维持生计，设法过活；pass on转交，递给；work away连续不停地工作。
根据前面的extended family和miss the paycheck可推知，老人生活上悠闲，但没有了工资，生活可能不如以前宽松，但他们能设法维持，故选B项。
5．D. 根据上文retire和下文的his good worker，作为老板，自己的好员工要走了，自然惋惜，故选D项sorry是符合情
理的。
6．A. 从下文得知，老木匠的最后一座房子造的很不好，是因为他不用心。所以此处表示转折，选A项but，意为“他虽
然答应了，但并不用心工作”。注意while是并列连词，表示前后对比，而非转折。
7．B. 根据前文的bad workmanship和下文可知，老木匠用的建筑材料是劣质的，故inferior正确。
8．D. 根据前文的retire、go和asked if he could build just one more house可知，这是老木匠为老板建造的最后一座房子，
是他一生事业的结束，故选D项end。
9．C. 作为老板，自己让人建设的房子完工了，自然来查看一下。下文也提到他并非来购买、出售或修理房子，排除了
其他选项。
10．C. 从下文的If he had only known he was building his own house可以看出，老板把刚刚建设的房子作为礼物（gift）送
给了老木匠，应该给他房门钥匙，故A项key正确。
11．A. 根据上下文可知，这是老板给老木匠的礼物，以表示感谢。
12．B. 根据上文的shock和下句If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently可知，老木匠为自己做的蠢事感到羞耻、后悔，故选B项shame正确。
13．A. “So it is with sb.”是一常见句型，意为“……也如此”。注意此题易错选as，误认为是定语从句。As可以引导定语
从句，但注意是此句末的标点是句号，因此缺少先行词，无法构成定语从句。其他两选项意思、结构均不正确。 14．D. 根据文意，作者在向我们阐述一个道理，我们的生活也象老木匠建房子一样，没有投入全身心，即用的努力少（less），
因此，选D项符合文意。
15．A. 根据上下文，开始我们没有觉察，但后来当我们认识到自己的愚蠢行为时，为时已晚。所以，此处选择realize
是正确的。
16．B. 根据上文If we could do it over, we would do it much differently.和But可知，我们虽认识到错误，但有些事情是无
法重新再做一遍的。Step forward自告奋勇；go back回到、重新再来；come out（太阳、星星……）出现；look around环视、环顾。四个词组中只有go back有此意。
17．C. 根据下文可知，作者在引用某人（曾经说过）的话，所以用副词once最合适。其他选项与文意不符。 18．A. 根据上文，老木匠既有经验，技艺也高超，但态度不端正犯了大错。因此，一个人做事的态度决定结果，故选
attitude是正确的。
19．D. Make a choice/ choices是常见的搭配，意为“作出选择”。
20．B. 根据最后一段和上文中的therefore可知，作者是在告戒读者：我们既然明白了这个道理，“建造自己的房子时”
就明智些吧！所以wisely正确。 B
1. A estimate意为“据估计”， suggest为“建议、暗示”，inform是“通知、告知”，因死亡数据只是一个大概数据，故应用A。
2. B 此外应缺少名词，故排除D项，A、C项词形错误，故应选B项 effects。 3. D increasing 正在增加，为进行时态。 4. C die from 强调外因，die of强调内因。 5. A in 与数字或数量连用，表示比例，意思为 6. B currently 为副词，为时下，当下之意“每”。
7. B cause 为导致某事结果的直接诱因，reason 指说明某事的理由，excuse 为借口，result为结果。 8. C link to 与…有关，分词短语作后置定语，connected to 是两物相连接的，相连的。
9. D It+be+adj+to do 为固定句型，stop to do 是停下来去做另一件事。Stop doing 是停止当前的事。 10. B do 表强调，有现在时态和过去时态，在肯定句中进行强调，后加动词原形。
11. C who 为特殊疑问句，引导定语从句， 12. D 此处缺少形容词，故用 successful
13. B include doing sth ，attend 为参加一些自助活动，而并非组织活动，故排除D项。 14. A attending or following为并列关系，follow directions为按照说明去做。 15. C be worth doing 为固定短语，意为“尝试”语意好于“doing”
16. B where 引导定语从句，先行词是areas，在从句中担任地点状语。 17. B instead of代替，而不是，instead是相反之意。 18. B the sooner……the more越早越。强调终止吸烟的时间。
19. A return返回，回来，血压回到正常。back为副词，其它语意不符。 20. C that（特定的）那一类、那一个，it特指同一个，one泛指同一类。 C
这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。作者通过自己晚上在黑暗中找灯这件小事，想到世上人人都可能处于“黑暗”之中，如果我们都能用自己的“爱心”之灯去温暖他人，世界将变的更加美好。
1．D. 根据上文晚上头顶的灯坏了，可知我找寻钥匙孔有困难，故选D. difficult。 2．A. 根据下文可知，“我”已经把门打开。Manage to do sth. 表成功地做某事。 3．B. 根据文意可知，由于晚上没有灯，“我”只好摸索前进，只有felt表此意。
4．D. 根据“but no switch”可以推知，“我”认为那里曾经安装了开关，因此在那里摸索，结果并没有，只有once能表示
此意。
5．C. 上文提到这是一个旅馆，自己是暂时住到这里，排除了A项。从下文一句when I deposited my luggage可推知C
项正确，注意spot此处意为“注意到，看到，发现”。
6．B. 从上文remembered可知，“我”在那天早些时候发现有开关，现在仍然记得，故选B。
7．B. 因为是晚上，所以选择dark。
8．A. 根据文意排除了C、D。句子的主语是nothing而非lamp，故动词operated不正确。因此，只有A项正确。 9．B. 根据文意和下文curtains可推知，“我”现在处在黑暗中，只能拉开窗帘，靠外部街道上的光来找到另一盏灯，故选
B。
10．C. 根据文意和下文slowly across the room可知，“我”现在摸索着去拉窗帘。Make one‟s way意为“前往，到……去”，
符合文意。
11．B. 根据文意和下文actually可知，我最终找到了灯，故选until。
12．C. 根据主语a desk lamp和副词actually可知，这盏灯亮了。此意只有work可以表达。
13．A. 根据文意，“我”此时心有所感，世界有时是多么黑暗，而灯是如此必要！can可以表示“有时会……，时而可能”，
故选A项。
14．D. 根据文意和下句the light that shines from people可知，人们“内心的灯光”比实际的灯光更有必要。Physical在此意
为“物质的，有形的”。
15．B. 由文意可知，我们心中应该有“爱和信任”之灯，才能战胜discouragement、sadness、fear，故选love。 16．A. 由文意和dark可知，有时我们中许多人会处在黑暗和孤独的世界，故选lonely。 17．D. 由文意可知，当人们失望、难过和害怕时会需要帮助，因此选D项need。 18．B. 由上文So let your light shine.可知，作者在鼓励我们要主动去帮助别人，故选B。
19．C. 细心揣摩文意可知，我们的爱心之灯在茫茫的黑暗中是如此渺小，好象是森林中的一只蜡烛，故选no more than
正确。
20．A. 由文意可知，黑暗再强大，也没有足够的力量扑灭小如蜡烛的“爱心之灯”，故选A项put out最佳。

The purpose of a letter of application(求职信) is to help you to “sell” yourself. It should state ___1___ the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have ___2___. It should be simple, human, personal and brief without ___3___ out any necessary facts.
In writing a letter of application, keep in ___4___ that the things a possible employer is most ___5___ to want to know about are your qualifications(条件), your achievements and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part. ___6___ the first few sentences fail to ___7___ the reader‟s attention, the rest of the letter may not be ___8___ at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not ___9___ your own need or desires. For example, instead of beginning with “I saw your ___10___ in today‟s newspaper,” you might say “I have made a careful ___11___ of your advertising during the past six months” or “I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives ___12___ your product and why they like it. ” Try to ___13___ generalities. Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now ___14___. College graduates looking for their first positions often ask “What can I ___15___ in a letter? Employers want experience—which, naturally, no ___16___ has.” The answer is that everything you have ever done is ___17___.
It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter. ___18___ a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent ___19___ is to enclose(内附) a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it ___20___ for a possible employer to get in touch with you.

1. A。表示“清楚地”说明你想要找的工作。
2. B。根据前面“你的能力是什么”，可知后面是“你已经„做‟了些什么工作”。 3. C。根据后面的 any necessary facts 判断，不要“遗漏”任何必要的事实。 4. D。keep in mind 是固定短语，意思是“记住”。
5. C。表示可能，后面跟不定式只能用 likely，其余选项都不正确。 6. D。根据下文的主句判断，前面是条件句，因此选 if。
7. B。从后面主句中 the rest of the letter may not be… 可得出答案，如果前面的一些句子不能“赢得”读者的注意的话。 8. D。根据上文，如果起初几句话不能引起读者注意的话，其余部分就可能不会再“读”了。

10. A。因为是应聘者，所以在报纸上看到的是“广告”。

本文是根据美国著名作家(Mark Twain)马克•吐温的故事改编的一篇记叙文。故事讲述的是“一块精美、走时准确手表最终成为废物”的全过程。选项设计上侧重训练学生的英语语感和词义辨析能力。
1．C for certain“无疑地，确定地”，是一个固定用法，相当于without doubt, for sure；for certainty应为for a certainty才
对。
2．A keep time“走时准确”，是习惯用法，tell time“报时”，observe time “守时”，strike表“鸣钟”时，常用结构为“strike the
hours（每小时报时一次）; strike 12这种刚敲12点”。 3．B wind sth. up“上（钟或表）的弦；上发条”。 4．D set a clock / watch “对钟；对表；将闹钟等定时”。
5．A as用来引导表原因的状语从句。
6．D 从上文中的be pushed up得知，手表的时间慢了四分钟，而不是快了四分钟。
7．C make sB．do sth. / get sB．to do sth. “使某人做某事”，此题之后接了省to的不定式understand，所以用make。 8．A （指钟表）快(慢)于正确的时间，常用gain或lose。如：This watch neither gains nor loses.这表不快也不慢。go只
表示“钟表在走（时）”。
9．B leave sth. far behind“使某事处于落后状态”，A、C、D都是不及物动词。
10．C 表转折，意为：我原指望他迅速将表校对，可是他要我一周后才来拿。However是副词，常用逗号隔开。 11．C slow作动词，slow down“减慢速度”。
12．A 通过上下文得知作者已经去过了两个修表匠，现在要去第三个修表匠那儿。
13．B took sth. to pieces “拆开，拆散”，在这里指把表拆成零碎。broke“打碎”； tore“撕毁”； cut“切碎”。 14．D 介词in表示“从当时算起再过多长时间”。
15．B but前有实义动词do时，but后要接省to的动词不定式。
16．A keep(on)doing sth., 意为“不停地做……”。taking “拿去”；bringing“拿来”； fetching“去拿来”； carrying“提起，
拿起”，无方向性。
17．B tell the time 指“能够看懂钟表上的时间；看钟表等而说出时间”。不要受中文影响而错用understand。 18．D get 是连系动词，其后要接形容词作表语，可排除A、C，再从逻辑上分析，可排除B项。 19．C cost表示“某物花费多少钱”，有“等价交换”之意。
20．A another表示“另一个（与之不同的一个）”；the other表“两个当中的另一个”；one表“数量（一个）”；one more“买
了一个不够，还要再买一个”。 C
本文是一篇故事情节较强的记叙文。文章讲述了“父亲如何履行自己曾对儿子许下的诺言”，故事生动、感人，极富吸引
力。
1．B only to do sth.“结果却，不料”，作结果状语，表示该结果在主语的预料之外；现在分词作结果状语，表示由主句
所产生的逻辑上的结果。 realize在脑海里经过思维“认识到，了解”；find在表面上就能“发现， 看出”。 2．A 这四个选项都是英语成语，根据本段第一句an 8.2 earthquake almost flattened America判断，选择A项。 3．D 从意义上判断，“他想起了他曾对他儿子许下的诺言”；memorized是“背诵，熟记”。
4．A 从结构上分析，该句是省略了谓语动词的省略句，省略谓语之后，意义仍然清楚，如不省略动词，则使用第三人
称单数happens。从意义上分析，可排除C、D项。
5．A 表示“流泪”，这几个动词都可能表示这种意义，但句式搭配不同，其表现形式分别为Tears fill his eyes；Tears come
into his eyes；He bursts into tears。
6．B 从上下文意义判断，“他不停地想起他对他儿子许下的诺言”。
7．B 动词和动词短语是完形填空设项的重点之一。此题要分清这四项的不同含义。dig及物动词，“掘（土），挖”；dig
through“（为找……）在……里挖掘”；dig out “发掘出” dig into“钻研”。 8．D 从结构上分析，应该用现在分词作伴随状语，用and则表示并列，用said。 9．C Come on表示劝说，不耐烦，意为“得啦！，来！”，可用Come, Come,代替。
10．D 从词义上判断one line“一句话（台词）”，A项中的one word干扰性较大，它表示“一个词”，如用words 是正确
的。
11．A “介词+反身代词”有固定含义，for oneself独自地，亲自；by oneself单独地；of oneself自行地，自动地；to oneself
对（着）自己。
12．C 这四个词都有“活着的”之意，live仅用作定语，作表语用living ，alive 。living和alive在意义上有细微差别，
living可作定语和表语，含有“本以为死了，然而还活着”，又如：I can‟t believe my first teacher is still living。alive作表语和后置定语，其含义与dead相对应。lively“生动的，活跃的”。 13．D “在第3小时的时候，……”，序数词之前要用定冠词。
14．B 注意这四个词的区别：sound “（各种）声音” ；voice “（人们说话的）嗓音” noise“（不悦耳的）嘈音”；tone“（人
们说话的）语气，语调”。
15．B 这是表将来的虚拟语气，主句中用would +动词原形，从下文的句子中也能找到类似的句子。
16．A 从意义上判断，“如果你来救我，他们也会得救。”是条件状语从句，应该用if 引导，然而选项中没有if，when
与if同义，引导条件状语从句。even if 引导让步状语从句。 17．C 此题包含一个固定句型：There are … left. “还有……剩余下来”。
18．C 14 …out of 33 意为：33人中有14人活下来。out of “从……里面”。特别注意此题中的介词与前面的left没有任
何联系。如果没有意识到这点，极可能会选错。
19．D 从意义上判断，“房屋倒塌时，自然形成的三角空隙”。而make room; make space 意为“（有意识地）为……腾出
空间”。
20．A 从上下文意义判断，此句为原因状语从句。

The simplest way to say it is this: I believe in my mother. My __1__ began when I was just a kid．I __2__ becoming a doctor.
My mother was a domestic．Through her work, she observed that __3__ people spent a lot more time reading than they __4__ watching television.

这是一篇富有哲理的记叙文。绿色象征生命，红色象征热情，黄色是收获之色……，颜色之间也要一争高下，比比谁更
重要。斑斓世界，五颜六色，一个也不能少。看那雨后的彩虹，也许你会因此而相信唯有手拉手，肩并肩，才能创造出美丽和希望。热爱自己，珍惜他人，明天更美好。
1．D 由上文代表“草、树、叶”推测可知：没有我，其它的动物就会死亡。
2．A 由下文的“天空和海洋”相对比，结合上文所谈及的“草、树、叶”可知，此处指“陆地”。 3．C 此处是强调句型，只能用it is。
4．B 此处与第一段的最后一句有异曲同工的作用，意为：没有我的润滑，你们全都没有（即：死亡）。
5．A 此处所填单词，应与前面的laughter, fun是同类型的词，表示积极向上的词，而sadness，depression，anxiety则
表示“消极”之意。
6．D 桔黄色在平时不多见，结合下文只有在太阳升起或落下时出现，因此用scarce表示“稀少，不常见”。 7．C 由常识可知，只有在太阳升起或落下时出现桔黄色。
8．C 此上文“我的美丽如此迷人”推断下文“当我出现时，没有人会想起你们的”。give thought to想起，注意。 9．D 由下文shouted out可知，红色再也忍不住了，no longer表示“不再”。
10．B 由上文bravery可知，此处意义为：我愿意为真理而斗争。fight for“为……而战”。
11．A 由上文各种颜色的讲话内容及此句中的boasting（夸耀）可知，它们都在吹嘘自己的优点或优势（superiority）。 12．C 由谓语动词“倾盆而下（pour down）”可知，副词用violently，来表示“猛烈、激烈”。 13．B 由谓语“蜷缩 （crouched down）”及下文“互相缩成一团”可知：它们处于“恐惧之中”。 14．A amongst常用于书面语中，其意义等于among。
15．D句中的动词dominate是“优于，超出”，根据上文的内容，他们极力说自己的优点，想超出对方，因此用the rest，
来表示除自己之处的所有的其它颜色。
16．D 由for a special purpose可知，各种颜色都有自己的特殊的用途，它们所具有的特点都是其它颜色没有的，因此用
unique and different来表示“独特的和与众不同的”。
17．C 此处表示三者以上的“互相”，用one another。意为：大家手拉手。
18．C 由下文joined hands可知，它们“团结一心”。
19．B此处是拟人说法，wash有“冲洗”之意。意为：一场大雨之后。
20．A它们互相合作，形成了美丽的彩虹，如果没有大家的配合，是不可能形成彩虹的。因此这种美丽是大家协作的结
晶，所以它们都“感激，感谢”对方的参与。 B
这是一篇科普类短文。本文讲述的主题是“尽管人的寿命在延长，但随着岁月的流失，人人都会衰老，最终将面临死亡”。 1. C 根据句意：但是人们现在比过去寿命高。used to表示“过去经常做……”，暗示现在并不如此，此处指过去的情况，
正好与句义相符。would可表示“过去经常”，但不含“今昔对比”之意。注意该词组与be used to的区别，后者意为“习惯于……”， to为介词。D项之所以不对，是因为在以下词组中，当不定式省略时，通常要保留不定式符号to，如：used to, be going to, mean to, ought to, try to, plan to等。
2. B 根据下文中的定语从句所表示的意义进行判断，这里所填入的单词应该表示“衰老的结果”这一意义。effect意为“结
果，影响”，正是此意。function“功能，机能，作用”；affect“影响，感动”，是动词；sign“标记”。解题时要注意effect和affect拼写只相差一个字母，但effect是名词而affect是动词。
3. D 根据主句内容，which引导非限制性定语从句，which表示前面的“衰老的结果”，即：衰老的结果最终导致死亡。result
in“使发生，导致”；lead in无此搭配，在表示“导致”时，应为lead to；give in “让步，屈服”；run into“陷入”，常指陷入困境。
4. D 根据上下文及信息词cells可确定句中是指所有的部位(器官)。而其他三项所指的都是身体的具体部位。
5. C 此句中的did是用来代替前面的动词function，以避免重复。因为这里有一个表示过去的时间状语in childhood and
teenage years，所以只能用一般过去时。
6. B protection“保护，保护物”，和介词against或from连用，译为“保护……免遭……”。此句义为“身体此时的免疫力下
降，易于患病”；energy“精力，活力”； vigor“力量，活力”；power“权力，力气”。
7. A likely, possible和probable它们三者都表示“可能”，均可以构成：It is possible / probable / likely ＋that从句。但probable
和possible不能用于sb．is possible / probable to do sth.句型中。如：It will be possible / probable / likely for you to get there before eight o'clock.你有可能在8点钟之前赶到那里。 You will be likely to get there before 8 o'clock. 你很有可能在8点钟之前赶到那里。alike“相似的”，不符句意。
8. B根据句义：有一些相关的原因可能促使人衰老。contribute to“有助于，起作用，促成”，此意义符合句义。attend to“专
心于”；add to“增加，把……添加到……”；devote to“致力于，献身于”。这四个词组中的to都是介词，要注意它和不定式符号to的区别。
9. A此句与下文相对应，根据下文第十一空之后出现的replace (代替)可确定该空选replaced；reborn“新生的，复活的”；
recovered“恢复”；surrendered “屈服”
10. C 根据此句的谓语动词decreases可确定其主语应为the number，表示 “……的数量”，作主语时，应该使用单数的谓
语动词；a number of“许多，大量”常用来修饰复数名词，做主语时，要使用复数谓语动词；the amount of“……的数量是”，常接不可数名词；a great deal of “大量的”，后接不可数名词。
11. D 根据这一段里谈到的不同情况的细胞，上文用了some cells of the body不能再生，很显然下文中用other body cells
可以被新的细胞所代替。这样other与上文的some相呼应。其他词都不能起此作用。 12. C 根据上文的意思，这里还在继续谈论第二种可再生细胞，即：the new cells。
13. C be capable of是固定搭配，表示“有……的能力”。句中指：老年人的新细胞的发展能力不如年轻人的强。其他介词
不与capable搭配。
14. A这一段的内容是和上段相对应的，所需词相当于上段第一句中的cause，指造成一种事实或现象的原因，所以选用
factor，表“因素，要素”。其他几个词虽然语义相近，但所强调的重点并不相同。effect“结果”；reason“原因”，用来说明一种看法或行为的理由；element“元素”。
15. C 此句意是：另一个导致衰老的因素是细胞内本身的变化。由此可得出，空格处需填一个作同位语的名词或代词，
那么四个选项中，就只有themselves可担当此任，即：反身代词themselves做cells的同位语。
16. C 本句是被动句式，其主动句式是：It is known that some of the protein chemicals in cells change with age and become less
elastic。意为：大家知道细胞内有些蛋白质随着年龄的增大而改变，变得没有那么有弹性。又如：It is known that a new hospital will be built here. = A new hospital is known to be built here。在叙述一般性事物时，动词know之后的不定式不用进行式和完成式。
17. A hang在这里是用作系动词，后面须接一个形容词作表语，类似的动词还有： rise，shine，sit，lie等，如：The sun rose
red． (= The sun rose and it is red．)。本句除了要注意hang是系动词外，还要注意时态的选择。因为通篇文章所谈论的是人人都要变老的客观事实，所用时态都为一般现在时，不能用进行时。
18. B 根据句义“这就是为什么老人的身高会收缩的原因”，因此表“收缩”的只有shrink；increase“增加”和1engthen“变长”
与句义不符； decrease“减少”，一般强调量的减少，也不符合题义。特别说明的是shrink这个词平常用得不太多，但它仍然是中学英语“新课标”词汇，它的过去式形式是shrank或shrunk，过去分词形式是shrunk 或shrunken。 19. D 根据上下文内容应选pass on，表示“把……传给另一个，转移”，句中store and pass on information指“储存和传递
信息”，符合句意。其他三个选项都不符句意。pass away“去世”；pass by“经过，从……旁边走过”；pass off“逐渐消失，停止”。
20. D 从通篇文章所叙述的人的衰老的过程分析，我们应该在此处选填process。表示“自然的过程，进程”，符合上下文
意义；即：衰老可能影响这种进程和改变信息；improvement“改良”；procession“队伍，行列”；approach“方式，方法”。 C
这是一篇记叙文。作者出生于一个贫穷的单亲家庭，然而在母亲的帮助与教导下，他克服了重重困难，从后进生一跃名列前茅，成为优秀生，并实现了自己的梦想，成为了一名医生。这一成功的事例说明：在教育子女上，父母才是最好的老师。
1．A 从下文可知，我小时候就开始有了信念。
2．C 接着指出是什么信念，梦想成为一名医生。
3．C 据母亲观察，成功人士花在阅读上的时间要比在看电视上多得多。 4．D 此处使用did 代替前文的spent, 避免重复。
5．A 由announced 得知，我和弟弟每周只能看三到四个预先挑选好的电视节目。
6．B 由上下文可知，母亲非常严厉。我们每人必须阅读从底特律公共图书馆借来的两本书，还要上交读书心得。present
sth. to sb.把某物呈交给某人。
7．D 由My mother was illiterate.得知，此处是一个计谋。 8．A 由but 推测出：读中学时，我曾是个优等生，但好景不长。 9．B 原因是：图漂亮衣服，想和别人出去闲荡。hang out 闲荡。
10．C 由下文scrubbing floors and cleaning bathrooms可知，此处意为：母亲干完各种活儿回到家。working 在此用作及
物动词，意为：完成，干完。
11．D 此处是buy sb．sth.的结构。意为：由你来替这个家买伙食、付账单。
12．A 此处是“with + 宾语+ 宾补”结构。money 与leave 之间是被动关系。剩下的钱你都拿去买意大利针织衫吧。 13．B 因为由自己理财并从中想赚一点钱，很显然，这样的决定让我开心不已。。 14．D 由but 可知并非如我所愿。但当我把该花的钱都分配完毕，手里已分文不剩。
15．C 我的母亲不愧是个理财能手，她能让我们有地方住、有各样的食物吃，更不用说买衣服了。keep a roof over one‟s
head有地方住；put an idea into one‟s head使想起；gave an impression on留下印象；have eyes in the back of one‟s head多留心不露声色。
16．A let alone更不用说；let out 使放出；let in 使进入；leave alone 不理会，不理睬。
17．C 通过这件事，我还意识到，一时的满足并不会给我带来什么成就，而成功需要智力上的准备。于是我又发奋努力
学习。
18．B 最终我实现了自己当医生的梦想。fulfill 履行工作，完成任务，达到愿望。
19．A 由上文可知，我母亲，她是这样一个女人，粗通文墨、家境贫寒，却利用家长的身份改变了世上很多人的生活。 20．C 由上文得知：没有那件事比对子女的养育更重要了。

A
爱就是鲜花、礼物和甜蜜的亲吻吗？作者通过亲身经历，终于明白，爱不是表面上的浪漫的亲吻，而是内在的情感。虽不能随时随地看到它，但是它却实实在在地存在着，使生活变得坚固而温暖。
1．C 由in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me可知是为了挣钱。
2．B 他们从未像我在书中读到，或在电视中看到的那样浪漫。
3．D 从上下得知，说出“我爱你”是太难了，而不是太简单、容易、轻松。
4．A out of the question是个固定短语，意为“亳无可能”；out of question“有可能”；out of reach （伸手）够不着；out of control
失控。
5．B 根据上下文，此处指“你和爸爸之间有没有爱情啊”。
6．D 因在缝被子，母亲低下头。
7．A 我担心伤害了她。伤害感情用“hurt”。 8．B 我非常尴尬。
9．C 由下文的“disappear”得知此处是“appear”。句意为“苏珊，看看这些线。有时候，你能看得见，但是大多数都隐藏在
被子里。”
10．D 这些线使被子坚固耐用。
11．B 你不可能随时随地看到它，但是它却实实在在地存在着。 12．A 由上句推出：爱是内在的。
13．B 由下文until可知此处用否定式。以构成not … until…的句式。句意为：我仔细地听着，却无法明白她的话，直到
来年的春天。
14．A 由My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month.可知父亲突然得重病。get stuck困住；throw up呕吐；
become disabled残疾。
15．B 此处指“脸色，气色”。句意为：当他们从医院回来的时候，都显得非常苍白。
16．D （为了使父亲身体康复），他们回来之后，每天的清晨或黄昏，母亲都会搀扶着父亲在乡村的小路上漫步。 17．C 从上文Dad, how are you feeling now可知，此处有“担心”之意。
18．A 英语中“看得出”习惯上不用see。句意为：从他的眼神里，我看得出他对母亲的爱之深刻。
19．C 四个选项中A、B、D与前面提到的“鲜花、礼物”同类，只有C项不同类。句意为：我曾经认为爱情就是鲜花、
礼物和甜蜜的亲吻。
20．A 由全文可知，但是从那一刻起，我明白了，爱情就像是生活中被子里的一根线。
B
这是一篇夹叙夹议的记叙文。通过与父亲一起钓鱼的一次亲身经历，小男孩受到了深刻的道德教育，从而影响了他的一生。道德是简单的对和错的问题，但要付诸行动却很难。尤其是在无人知晓的情况下，我们是否会自觉以道德的标准来衡量我们的言行呢？人应当以“诚实为本，道德至上”。
1．B 由下文可知是鲈鱼季节开放的前。 2．B 他是去钓鱼而非其它。
3．A 当鱼杆向下弯的时候，他知道线的另一端一定钓到了一条大鱼。
4．A 在线的另一端。on the one hand, on the other hand 意为“一方面……；另一方面……” at the either side “在任何一方”。 5．C 小男孩钓鱼技巧纯熟，父亲看了眼神充满赞赏。 6．D 被钓着的鱼当然是筋疲力尽。
7．B 但他钓着的是一条鲈鱼。此处用but 表示转折，因为鲈鱼是禁止垂钓。 8．C “你得把它放回去，孩子，”他说道。此处指放回去。A、B、D项均不相符。
9．A even though 表示让步“即使”；其句意为：即使没有人看到他们，更无从得知他们何时钓到了鱼。 10．A tell“分辨；辨别”常与can, could, be able to 连用。
11．C 从父亲不可动摇的语气中，他知道这个决定没有商量余地。即“固定了的”。
12．C the black water 意为“漆黑的水中”。其句意为“他慢慢地将鱼钩从大鲈鱼的唇上取下，然后蹲下将鱼放回水中”。他
在湖上钓鱼，不可能把鱼放回到河流或海里，更不是放入容器里。
13．B 鱼儿摆动着它强健的身躯，消失在水中。fled 逃跑；floated漂浮；swim游。 14．B 他猜得没错。此处肯定上文所说的事“他可能再也看不到这么大的鱼了” 15．A land 意为“将鱼钓上岸”。saw指表示看见；cast洒网；threw投，掷。
16．D the same fish指被他自己钓着的那条鱼。但每次他面临道德难题而举棋不定的时候，他的眼前总是浮现出那条鱼。 17．C 此处是强调句型。意为：要付诸行动却很难。
18．B do right 做得对、得当。do wrong做得不对；do good做好事；do harm危害。此句意为“在没人瞧见的时候，我们
是否仍始终如一，一丝不苟”
19．A 由下文“For we would have learned the truth.”可知此处是“被教给”。意为：在我们还小的时候，如果有人要我们把鱼
放回去，我们会这样做
20．B 此处是形容词作状语，表示状态。不能用副词。意为：正确的决定在我们的记忆里变得清新。 C
这是一篇记叙文。作者不喜欢爱唠叨的前邻居，他已搬家，这是一件大好事。作者外出度假在火车上与他不期而遇，幸好作者还是侥幸逃脱了他的唠叨。令他没有想到的是，在他住宿的旅馆里又碰面了，真可谓“冤家路窄”。 1．C 我走到过道里去伸伸腿。stretch one‟s legs：伸伸腿 ，引申为放松一下。
2．A 与一个原来在站台上遇到的乘客聊了几句。exchange a few words with：与……说了几句话。change 改变；talk sth.
through 畅叙衷肠；talk about sth. 谈论某事。 3．D 由上文得知：火车站站台。
4．B 由上文“走到过道里”，很显然此处指“回到座位上去”。 5．A 从下文可知：我原来的邻居是个爱唠叨的人。
6．C 他一开始和你讲话，你就要花上几个小时才能把他甩开。get away from：走开，躲开。 7．C 他搬走，我根本不觉得遗憾。
8．D 从上文We had not met since then可知，此处是倒装句，所以将否定词置于句首。 9．A 由上文可知，这时我的假期就要开始了。
10．B 此处是too…to 句型，表示“忙于谈话没有看见我”。
11．D 我很快走回到车厢，把它们搬到走道的另一端，以做好准备，火车一停就下去。the far end of the corridor走廓的
远端。get off 下车。
12．A 搬运工立刻给我找来了出租车。find sb. sth给某人找来某物。
13．C 我乘车去我在郊区的小旅馆的路上，为我能侥幸逃走而宽慰在舒了一口长气。a narrow escape 侥幸逃脱。 14．B run into碰到，不期而遇。句意为：我不大可能再碰到我那令人厌恶烦的邻居了。 15．D 我直接往自己的房间走去。
16．A （在旅馆娱乐室或饭店）点菜或其它东西，常用order。此处意为：要了一杯饮料。 17．C 我刚举到嘴边，就听到一个再熟悉不过的声音向我打招呼，用when表示“突然”。 18．B 从上文可知：我终究没有逃出这位烦人的邻居手掌。 19．D 并主张我们在一起用餐。
20．A 由下文I never expected to see you again after all these years可知：这的确是件惊奇的事。

Mars is not, it seems, the dry old planet we once believed 1 ．Astronauts who are 2 to go there in the next decade may find plenty 3 water to slake （消除） their thirst．And with water present the 4 of finding some sort of life of Mars are （5） brighter．
This is the view of forty geologists who have been analyzing 6 of pictures and other scientific 7 obtained by robot explorers in the sixties and seventies．
To begin with, scientists thought the Red planet was as 8 as the Moon 9 dust storms swirling over vast sandy 10 ．But now the picture is very different 11 mountains and valleys carved by 12 glaciers and rivers rushing and rumbling deep underground．
In a report on the analysis of the Martian pictures Dr．Michael Car of the U．S．Geological Survey comments: “I am convinced 13 lots of water on Mars．” Any surface water will be in the 14 of ice．But it could save explorers from 15 to take so much 16 with them．
The report says 17 Mars probably had a warmer climate in ages 18 due to its axis （轴） having been more

答案与解析 A
1．C 根据新的资料显示，火星似乎并不像我们过去认为的那么干燥。it代替前面的专有名词Mars; to be 为不定式的省
略式，其后面省略了dry。 不定式的省略式通常省略to后面的成分，但后面为to be结构时，就要保留be而省略其
B．fight C．avoid D．refuse
后面的成分。
2．A expect somebody to do something表示“期待某人做某事”。这里用其被动语态形式：be expected to do sth．。表示“某
人被期待做某事。”
3．B 此句的“plenty of=a lot of”为固定词组，意思是“大量；许多；充足”。
4．A 本句的意思是“由于水的发现，在火星上面找到某种生命形式的机会就变得更加明朗了”。 5．C 此处的much用来修饰比较级，其它选项都不能修饰比较级。
6．D thousands of用复数形式表示不确定的数字，此处意思是“数以千计的 ”，后接复数名词；a few of后接“限定词+
复数名词”，意思是“某（固定）范围内的一些”；many of 后接“限定词+复数名词”，意思是“某（固定范围）内的许多”。
7．D 指的是“在六七十年代探测器获得的其他科学信息（information）。”
8．C 此句的意思是“刚开始的时候，科学家认为这颗红色的行星象月球一样没有生命（lifeless）。”
9．B 此处为“with + 名词 / 代词 + 不定式、分词、形容词、副词、介词短语等 ”构成的复合结构作状语。 10．A 此句意思是“沙暴（dust storms）在广袤的沙漠（deserts）上旋转。”
11．D 注意此题的关键是要搞清它不是be different from结构，因为此结构后的名词前要用限定词，而该空后面的名词
前无限定词，故可排除。此空与第9空一样，为“with复合结构”作状语。 12．D 这里用powerful形容冰河对山谷冲刷的威力巨大。
13．A 此句用的是“there be”结构，其后面的名词water（即主语）为不可数名词，故谓语动词be用单数形式。 14．C 词组“in the form of”的意思是“以……形式”。此句意思是“任何表面上的水将以冰的形式存在。”
15．B from为介词，后面接动词的-ing形式，故可排除A和C两个选项；本空为have to 结构，意思是“必须；不得不”，
所以其后接动词原形。
16．A 此句的意思是“水的存在使探险者们不用随身携带大量的水。”
17．D 此句意思是“报告说由于火星的轴在过去的岁月中更倾斜地面对太阳，那时火星的天气，可能比现在暖和”。此
处that引导一个宾语从句，其本身在宾语从句中不充当任何成分，也没有任何词汇意义，仅起连接的作用。 18．B “in ages past”表示“在过去的岁月中”。
19．B no为形容词，等于“not a / not any”, 表示“没有”，后接名词; 而not的后面一般接动词、形容词或从句等成分。 20．D although 引导让步状语从句，表示“尽管 …，但是 …。 B
1．B 本题考查动词的词义。admire 作为及物动词意思是“钦佩，羡慕”。 本句的意思是“英雄就是全国人民，特别是年
轻人所羡慕的人。”
2．B 此题考查词组“take somebody as a model”，其意思为“ 以某人为榜样”。
3．A 此处考查choice这个名词,意思是“选择”；conclusion意思是“结论”；majority表示“大多数”；suggestion的意思是“建
议”。后三个词不符合题意。本句的意思是“年轻人对英雄的选择可以归为三类。” 4．B 词组“connected with”是过去分词短语作后置定语，意思是“与……有联系”。 5．D “hold up”为固定短语，意思是“推举某人/某物作为实例，示范”。
6．C 本句的意思是：“那些摇滚歌星经常吸毒而且私人生活不是那么好（good）”。根据常识得出此答案。
7．A 此题考查词组“put in”的意思，它表示“提出（要求等）”。其它词无此搭配。本句意思是：“一个人应该对英雄提
出更高的要求或标准，而不是钱和衣服”。
8．D “such…as …”为固定短语，用于列举事物/人，意思是“例如……；诸如 …此类的人或者事物”。 9．D 此题的答案“again”为副词，表示“又，再”的意思，承接上文选来。
10．B 本句意思是：“那些体育明星的个人生活有点（a bit）失调，不正常”。a bit此处表示程度。 11．B 此句的意思是“经常吸毒、酗酒是体育明星生活（life）的一部分。”
12．C 承接上文“A third group of heroes are TV or movie stars”，应该选择此项。本句意思是“那些电视、电影明星有很高
的表演（acting）才能。”
13．A 根据常识，这些人的个人生活太消极、悲伤，因此不应该（should not）成为年轻人的榜样。根据语境选出。 14．C 表示三者以上用all，本句意思是“这三类人都（all）已成为美国年轻人的榜样。”none也指三者以上，但它是否
定意义，与上下文逻辑关系不通。 15．D 根据全文的内容可以得出此答案。 16．A 根据前三种人的标准，这些人都不合格。 17．B 此处的“talented”为形容词，意思是“有才能的”。
18．D follow意思是“（行为）等追随某人”。Persuade意思是“说服某人”；praise表示“赞扬，称赞”；remember意思是
“怀念，纪念”。均不符合句意。
19．B limited的意思是“限定”。其它词均不符合题意。 20．A bright表示“光明的”。 C
1．C 此空格处是一个转折的话语，破折号是用来表示一个很重要的信息。B词意不合；A、D不应用此结构。 2．D 此答案根据前文的“The doctors…run very well”得出。
3．A 答案“wouldn‟t know”表示“不会知道”。B表示“没有想像到”；C表示“不应发现”；D表示“不可能鉴别”，皆不通。 4．B 此句的意思是“别的小孩在那里玩（游戏），他也就（直接）进（跳）入他们的游戏圈内，无所困难或顾忌。” 5．A 根据下文可以得出此答案，下文多次出现与本句意义、结构类似的话语，据此断定。 6．C 答案“run”是本文的中心。
7．D 根据下文可知，答案的意思是“加入（长跑）队”。后文有提示。 8．B 动词“sense”表示“ 意识到 …”；notice表示“（表面的）发现。” 9．D 前后一致。
10．A 根据全句理解：“全”队都（训练）跑，但只有前七人可以……。all team不通。
11．A “score points”为固定词组，意思是“得分”。
12．C make 是个万能词，此处的意思是“作为”, “成为……的一分子”。 词组“make the team”表示“入队”。后文亦可印
证。
13．B 根据上文，他（一直）在训练,故这里自然是 “继续”。 14．D 根据全文，作者因担心才去看。
15．B 此答案是根据情境判断得来的。A、C不是用来回答feel的。 16．A 词组“run down”此处意思是“汗水流下，淌下。” 17．B 词组“look straight ahead”表示：目视前方。
18．B 动词call此处意思是“宣布（读）”，call the names：点名。 19．C 根据语境（only 一词）可知，其他选手应是高于他的年级的。 20．A 此处expect的意思是“指望”、“期待”。
