【解析】文章大意: 年輕的城里人到鄉(xiāng)下朋友的農(nóng)場上獵鴨, 結(jié)果和鄰家的老人進行了一場決斗, 老人打了他三次, 他都咬牙忍了下來。當(dāng)他正要還擊時, 老人卻認輸了, 把鴨子給了他。有時候智慧在決斗中比力量的作用更大。

1.詞匯復(fù)現(xiàn)題。上文提到他是在朋友的農(nóng)場里獵鴨的, 因此應(yīng)該落在農(nóng)場里。

2.詞義辨析題。head朝……前行; 這里指他撿到鴨子朝柵欄走來。return不和back連用。

3.詞匯復(fù)現(xiàn)題。根據(jù)下文的But we’ll fight by country 可知, 是按照鄉(xiāng)下的方法進行決斗。

4.詞匯復(fù)現(xiàn)題。根據(jù)下文的beat可知, 兩人要用決斗的方法決定鴨子的所屬。fight和beat為近義詞。

5.背景常識題。根據(jù)and后的bigger以及下文他同意要和老人決斗可知, 他認為自己比對方強壯。

6.邏輯推理題。自己比對方年輕、強壯、個子大, 因此很容易打敗對方。

7.邏輯推理題。既然容易打敗對方, 所以就欣然(happily)同意了決斗。

8.詞義辨析題。add接著說; 補充說。符合上下文語境

9.詞匯復(fù)現(xiàn)題。country rules鄉(xiāng)下規(guī)則。指老人提出按當(dāng)?shù)氐囊?guī)則進行決斗, 和上文的country way同義。

10.背景常識題。既然放棄, 就說明輸了。lose輸; 比賽輸了。指第一個喊停(放棄)的人輸?shù)舯荣悺?/p>

11.詞義辨析題。stand忍受; 忍耐。指年輕人相信自己能忍受住老人的三次襲擊。receive收到; win贏得; have有, 均不符合上下文。

12.邏輯推理題。根據(jù)上下文這里是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。然而年輕人還沒放下鴨子, 老人就朝他臉上踢了一腳。

13.詞義辨析題。wonder奇怪, 想知道。他奇怪老人為何有這么大力氣。

14.邏輯推理題。臉上挨了一腳, 當(dāng)然要疼了(pain)。

15.邏輯推理題。根據(jù)上文可知, 年輕人被老人踢掉了兩顆牙齒, 因此受傷了。

16.固定搭配題。上文說年輕人倒在地上, 所以年輕人掙扎著站起來。rise to one’s feet站起來。

17.詞匯復(fù)現(xiàn)題。missing丟失的; 丟掉的, 與上文的knocking out two teeth同義。指失去兩顆牙齒的年輕人。

18.邏輯推理題。年輕人邊微笑著站起來, 邊盤算著他對老人的第一擊。
