  I came to study in the US last fall.My life had been quite   1   since I arrived at Andover.Although I had quite a few extracurricular(課外)activities, I hadn’t taken any official leadership position.

  This   2   changed when I received an email from Ms Griffith, my cluster(a group of dorms)dean(主任),   3   that a new female DC Rep was needed.DC Rep   4   Discipline(紀(jì)律)Committee Representative(代表).  5   boarding school students break serious rules, like using   6  , getting drunk or cheating in their studies.The punishments given to such students are   7   by a DC Rep, a house counselor, two student representatives, the cluster president and the cluster dean.I was really interested in becoming DC Rep for my cluster, Pine Knoll,   8   so were five other students.We had to hold   9   and Ms Griffith asked us to write   10   to be sent to everyone in Pine Knoll.

  I thought hard about what to write.I didn’t want to make any   11  , because they are difficult to keep.I didn’t want to say I was experienced, because I was not.So I started my speech by explaining   12   I wanted to become a DC Rep.“I want to serve Pine Knoll and also learn how American boarding schools carry out discipline,” I wrote   13  

  I made three   14   that said “Vote For Teresa” and put them on every exit of my dorm so that people would   15   my name when they went to vote.

  Although I tried hard, I didn’t win the election.I was   16  , but my positive(積極的)nature did not allow me to   17   for very long.I actually   18   when my friends tried to comfort me, “Teresa, I am sorry that you didn’t win the election,” they would say.

  “No, don’t be sorry for me.I am very happy to have taken part in the election, ” I said.

  It is true; the   19   is much more important than the result.I am surprised and happy to discover my hidden   20

答案:1.D;2.B;3.C;4.A;5.B;6.B;7.C;8.C;9.C;10.B;11.C;12.D;13.D;14.A;15.B;16.C;17.C;18.A;19.C;20.B;
解析:

(1)

下面的一句話已經(jīng)暗示我沒(méi)有擔(dān)任領(lǐng)導(dǎo)工作,盡管有一些課外的活動(dòng),但生活還是比較輕松的。

(2)

situation指的是“情況”,而condition指的是(健康)狀態(tài)。下面的內(nèi)容就是說(shuō)明為什么說(shuō)“情況發(fā)生了改變”。

(3)

指信、文件、通知等的“上面寫著或者上面說(shuō)”時(shí),英語(yǔ)中要用say或read,使用write時(shí),要用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)“on which was written…”。

(4)

根據(jù)語(yǔ)境分析,此處用stand for,表示DC Rep所“代表”的意思;而ask for“要求得到”和call for“需要”都和語(yǔ)境不吻合。

(5)

按常理分析,住宿生不可能總是違反紀(jì)律,故可先排除A、C兩項(xiàng);而seldom放在句首時(shí),主句需要倒裝,從句型結(jié)構(gòu)上可排除D選項(xiàng)。

(6)

吸毒則是絕對(duì)應(yīng)該禁止的,如果做了,必須受到懲罰。

(7)

上文已經(jīng)說(shuō)明了“給予吸毒的學(xué)生以懲罰”,那么懲罰就應(yīng)該由某人來(lái)“決定”給予某人。

(8)

根據(jù)語(yǔ)境分析,此處應(yīng)該表示“轉(zhuǎn)折”的關(guān)系,故使用but。

(9)

既然六個(gè)人都對(duì)成為DC Rep感興趣,那么只好來(lái)進(jìn)行“選舉”了,故使用election;而selection的意思為“挑選”。A、B兩個(gè)選項(xiàng)也和下文的語(yǔ)境不相符合,另外下文中也出現(xiàn)了election這個(gè)詞。

(10)

根據(jù)常識(shí),要進(jìn)行選舉,則必須由候選人演講自己的施政綱領(lǐng),那么就得事先準(zhǔn)備演講稿。

(11)

此處選擇promise正好和下文的keep promise相呼應(yīng)。

(12)

按常識(shí)來(lái)說(shuō),此處應(yīng)該先闡述參與競(jìng)選的原因,下文的內(nèi)容說(shuō)明了這一點(diǎn)。

(13)

參加競(jìng)選,應(yīng)該如實(shí)地說(shuō)明動(dòng)機(jī),才能贏得人們的信任,寫出競(jìng)選的原因就是“誠(chéng)實(shí)”的表現(xiàn)。

(14)

poster的意思為張貼在公共場(chǎng)所的“海報(bào),廣告”,相當(dāng)于notice,這和下文的動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)put up相吻合。一般來(lái)說(shuō),advertisements指的是“出售物品等的宣傳廣告”。

(15)

貼海報(bào)的目的就是為了讓人記住“我”的名字,達(dá)到宣傳的目的。

(16)

積極參與競(jìng)選,作了很多準(zhǔn)備,但結(jié)果是沒(méi)有被選中,“失望”的心情可想而知。

(17)

put down“放下;記下”;look down“向下看”;feel down“(精神上的)消沉”;lie down“躺下來(lái)”。

(18)

從上文來(lái)看,作者的低沉情緒沒(méi)有持續(xù)太長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間,因此當(dāng)別人安慰她時(shí),不可能“難過(guò)或者痛哭”,排除B項(xiàng)和D項(xiàng)。她只是笑了笑,laugh的意思為“大笑”,與題意不符合。

(19)

因?yàn)椤癐 am very happy to have taken part in the election”,說(shuō)明“過(guò)程”比結(jié)果重要,“重在參與”。

(20)

courage表示人做某事的“勇氣”,此處表示作者發(fā)現(xiàn)自己居然有勇氣參加競(jìng)選。而strength“力氣”,指人身體內(nèi)部的力量;參加競(jìng)選不能發(fā)現(xiàn)自己身上有“能力”或者做某事的“技巧”。

This was one of my experiences    1   .When I was in my 30s,I was working for a large international company which had its head office in London. I was working in the   2   department.

The company had a training center which was just outside London. Different courses were held there throughout    3    and I    4    go on one training course a year. These usually started    5    a Sunday evening and lasted six days.

Once I was    6    a week’s training course with about forty    7    sales people. I was in the bar on the Friday evening and suddenly a woman who was    8    behind the bar asked me a curious question.“I hope you don’t    9   my asking,” she said, “but I’ve been     10    about it all week. Have you got a sister   11     Mary?” The woman’s name was June. And she used to do various jobs at the training center’s worked in the office, she organized all the food and drink for the center and she worked in the bar at lunch time and in the evening.

My answer    12    June’s question was “Yes”,and June said,“I thought    13   .I met her last September when she was organizing a course here.” At that time, my sister was working for   14    company but in a different part of the country. That was    15    she came to be at the training center.
      16    surprised me was how June guessed we were brother and sister. Three things made it even more   17    .First, she had met my sister six months before she met me. Second, they have about sixty new people every week at the training center’s about one thousand five hundred people had    18    the center in those six months. And    19   ,my sister is married, so she doesn’t have the same family name as me.

We’re not    20    ,but I guess we must look quite like each other.
