解析:

內(nèi)容提要:

這是一篇富含生活哲理的小短文。講述了一個國王設(shè)獎尋找最能生動體現(xiàn)“寧靜”的畫作,最終在入選的作品中挑出了最令他滿意的兩幅畫:一幅畫呈現(xiàn)的是群山圍繞的靜謐如鏡的湖;而另一幅畫則呈現(xiàn)了雷鳴閃電,風(fēng)雨交加,瀑布咆哮的畫面。國王選擇了后一幅,是因為畫中鳥媽媽在紛擾的環(huán)境中所保持的寧靜心態(tài)打動了他

【小題1】該句意思為“國王提供一份獎項”。offer意為“提供”;afford意為“擔(dān)負得起”;accept意為“接受”;cancel意為“取消”

【小題2】該句意思為“許多藝術(shù)家(參賽)嘗試”。collect意為“收集”;plan意為“計劃”;try意為“嘗試”;direct意為“指導(dǎo)”

【小題3】該句意思為“但只有兩幅是他真正喜歡的”,故選“really”

【小題4】名詞辨析,對靜謐的湖水的形容應(yīng)當(dāng)是“如鏡子”般的,故選mirror

【小題5】該句意思為“(湖的)上方是湛藍的天空和蓬松舒展的白云!惫蔬x副詞“overhead”

【小題6】該句意思為“看到這幅畫的所有人都認為它是一幅表達寧靜的最好的畫”。句中的picture對該空有提示作用

【小題7】上文提到國王選了兩幅畫,上一段介紹了一幅,這一段將介紹另一幅。故選“the other”

【小題8】該句已經(jīng)使用了“l(fā)arge,rough”來描繪前句中的“山”,與之呼應(yīng)的應(yīng)是“bare”意為“光禿禿的”。因為句首有“but”,因此排除“fresh(新鮮的)”和“green(綠色的)”

【小題9】該句意思為“上方是憤怒的天空,下著雨扯著閃電”!皃lay”意為“閃耀”;scream意為“尖叫”;wander意為“徘徊”;cheer意為“歡呼”

【小題10】該句是一個倒裝句。還原后應(yīng)為“A foaming waterfall fell down the side of the mountain”。connect意為“聯(lián)系”;float意為“漂浮”;rise意為“上升”

【小題11】該句意思為“這些(上文所描述的畫面)看起來一點兒也不寧靜”,為下文引出真正的寧靜埋下伏筆。故選“peaceful”

【小題12】此處強調(diào)“當(dāng)國王仔細看這幅畫時”。國王只有仔細地看這幅畫,才能發(fā)現(xiàn)畫中平靜的鳥媽媽。closely意為“仔細地”; regularly意為“規(guī)律地”;suddenly意為“突然地”;casually意為“隨便地”

【小題13】下文有提示“In the bush a mother bird…”,因此此處應(yīng)選“bush(灌木)”

【小題14】從下文提示“…sat the mother bird on her nest”可知,鳥媽媽在灌木上蓋了個小窩,故選nest(窩)

【小題15】固定搭配 — be in +抽象名詞,表示“處于…(狀態(tài)、情況)中”

【小題16】動詞辨析。choose意為“選擇”;protect意為“保護”;force意為“逼迫”;depend意為“依靠”

【小題17】該句意思為“國王解釋說…”,故選explain(解釋)

【小題18】考查定語從句連接詞,先行詞是a place并在從句中做狀語: “There is no noise, trouble, or hard work in this place”,因此只能選where

【小題19】該句意思為“寧靜意味著即使身處紛擾之中,也能在內(nèi)心保持平靜”。still意為“仍然”;thus意為“因此”;even意為“甚至”;also意為“而且”

【小題20】該句意思為“這是寧靜的真正意義”。meaning意為“意義”;story意為“故事”;source意為“來源”;history意為“歷史”

We all know that some things are obviously right. For example, it is right to be   1  to other people. It is also right to look after the environment. Some things are   2  wrong, too. For instance, we should not hurt or bully(欺負)others, nor should we litter. Rules often tell us what is right or wrong.

Rules can help the public make the right   3 , and remain safe. Car drivers have to obey traffic regulations that tell them the right things to do on the road to avoid crashes. Cyclists who give signals before turning or stopping help prevent   4 .

If people follow rules without taking other matters into consideration, it will be   5 for them to form what is sometimes called a “black and white” view (黑白分明的觀點). For example, they may believe that people should always tell the truth, and that lying is   6  acceptable. Such people always stick to their views, even if it means that they may get into  7 .

Sometimes it may not be so easy to know   8  what is right or wrong. Some people choose not to eat meat because they believe that it is   9  to eat animals, but others argue that they can eat meat and   10  be kind to animals; some insist that stealing is always wrong, but others think that one does not need to feel so guilty (有罪的) when stealing some food to eat, if he lives in a really poor area and he is starving.

Rules help us live together in harmony, because they show us the right way to treat others. However, some people argue that rules may be confusing, having observed that rules change all the time, and that some schools have some regulations and others have different ones---so who is to decide what is right?

1.                A.kind           B.sensitive        C.fair  D.generous

 

2.                A.equally         B.slightly         C.clearly   D.increasingly

 

3.                A.suggestions      B.conclusion      C.turns D.choices

 

4.                A.a(chǎn)ccidents       B.mistakes        C.falls  D.deaths

 

5.                A.interesting      B.vital (重要的)     C.easy D.valuable

 

6.                A.seldom         B.rarely          C.merely (僅僅)  D.never

 

7.                A.trouble         B.power          C.prison    D.control

 

8.                A.roughly         B.eventually       C.deliberately (故意地)    D.exactly

 

9.                A.a(chǎn)wful (可怕的)   B.cruel           C.unhealthy D.unnecessary

Our holidays were coming to an end but we had not yet realized our plan to drive to Dalat. Our   36   about Dalat with its shining cherry blossoms (花) and scenic views were   37   us to start our journey.

Finally, I felt my     31      at my brother. The poor baby had no idea what    32      me so unhappy. Maybe he found me strange, the only person in this house    33      did not like him.

Then all that changed. I hardly remember everything of that day six years ago,   35    I do remember that I was feeling very angry. Somehow my feet led me to my brother’s bed. My hand, completely    36     from my mind, reached through the bars (護欄). At once, he reached out his small hand and softly touched   37      . And that was all I needed. Through all the unhappiness of the day, that one moment changed everything. How could I hate someone who made me     38     so important?

When I come across a good article in reading newspapers,I often want to cut and keep it.But just as I am about to do so,I find the article on the   31   side is as much interesting.It may be a discussion of the way to   32   in good health,or advice about how to behave and   33  yourself in society.If I cut the front articles,the opposite one is likely to suffer   34  ,leaving one half of it or keeping the text    35    the title.Therefore,the scissors would stay before they start,    36   the cutting would be halfway done when I find out the   37    result.

Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time,both worth your   39   .You can only take up one of them;the other has to wait or be   39   up.But you know the future is unpredictable—the changed situation may not   40   you to do what is left behind.Thus you are   41   in a difficult position and feel sad.How come nice    42  and clever ideas should gather around all at once?

In fact that is what   44   is like;we are often   45   with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both  46    like a newspaper cutting.It often occurs that our attention is   47   to the thing only after we get into another.The former may be more important than the latter and this   48   a divided mind.I still remember a philosopher’s   49 :“When one door shuts,another opens in life.”So a casual(不經(jīng)意的)    50   may not be a bad one.
