【解析】

試題分析:此篇完形填空的文章原型來源于一片叫作“The Blind Bus Passenger”的文章。講的是一個(gè)盲人乘客的故事。

1.1】D考查動(dòng)詞。A. touch摸索,感知;B. grab搶先,搶占;C. count數(shù)數(shù);計(jì)算總數(shù);把…算入;重要;D. feel摸索,感知?忌烂と耸强床灰姷,所有的動(dòng)作都是靠摸索的,其實(shí)這是常識問題,據(jù)此可知應(yīng)該選擇“feel”(摸索,感知), 而不應(yīng)該是“有目的”地去“touch”(觸碰);

2.2】C考查名詞。A. weakness 弱點(diǎn);B. sickness;C. darkness黑暗;D. sadness傷心。盲人陷入到黑暗的世界,這種表達(dá)在中文里面我們也使用,所以明顯應(yīng)該是“a world of darkness”;

3.3】B考查動(dòng)詞。A. run跑;B. sink下沉;C. jump跳;D. step舉步,行走。單純考查詞匯,sink into hopeless, 描述人陷入到絕望之中,“sink”表示下沉,和人陷入絕望的狀態(tài)是符 合的。

4.4】B考查動(dòng)詞。A. inspired鼓舞;B. determined 決定;C. honored尊敬;D. pleased使高興。be determined to do sth. 這是新概念二冊中的重點(diǎn)句型,下決心做某事,當(dāng)然你也可以用 make up one’s mind to do sth.故選B。

5.5】A 考查動(dòng)詞。A. return歸還,返回;B. adjust調(diào)整;C. honored尊敬;D. pleased使高興。人殘志不殘,她想回到工作之中去,作返回來講return 是一個(gè)不及物動(dòng)詞,因?yàn)檫xD。

6.6】D 考查形容詞。A. tired 感到累;B. astonished感到驚訝;C. depressed感到沮喪;D. frightened感到害怕。句意:她過去習(xí)慣坐公共汽車,但是她現(xiàn)在太害怕而不敢單獨(dú)在這個(gè)城市四處走動(dòng)。frightened表示恐懼,故選D。

7.7】A考查動(dòng)詞。A. volunteered自愿去做;B. attempted企圖;C. continued繼續(xù);D. struggled努力,掙扎。volunteer表示志愿去幫助Susan,現(xiàn)在很流行志愿者,所以大家不會對這個(gè)詞感到陌生。故選A。

8.8】C 考查狀語從句。A. when當(dāng)---時(shí)候;B. as隨著---;C. until直到---為止;D. after在---之后。句意:Mark自愿每天早上和晚上和Susan一起乘公共汽車,直到她自已能單獨(dú)做這件事為止。故選C。until在這里是連詞,引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語從句。狀語從句是重點(diǎn)語法,大家要注意學(xué)習(xí)了

9.9】C考查動(dòng)詞。A. drove 駕駛;B. directed指導(dǎo);C. accompanied 陪伴;D. sent寄送。accompany表示“陪伴”,既然Mark是來幫助Susan的,顯然就來陪伴她的,故選C。

10.10】D考查名詞。A. feelings感覺;B. organs器官;C. skills技能;D. senses感覺,官能。可知盲人失去的是 “sight”實(shí)力,其它的sense(感覺)還是存在的,故選D。

11.11】B考查名詞。A. position位置;B. environment環(huán)境;C. status地位;D. role角色。 簡單的詞匯辨析題,盲人需要適應(yīng)的是新的environment(環(huán)境),而不是新的position(位置)等到,故選B。

12.12】A考查介詞短語。A. on her own靠自己;B. in person親自;C. to her benefit為了自己的利益;D. on foot步行。on one’s own表示“靠某人自己”本文一直都是在表揚(yáng)這位盲人的毅力和堅(jiān)持,希望能夠靠自己來維持自己的正常生活。故選A。

13.13】D考查副詞。A. politely有禮貌地;B. calmly冷靜地;C. briefly簡短地;D. tightly緊緊地,堅(jiān)固地,牢固地。試想,擁抱自己的丈夫,而且是在分別的時(shí)候,感慨萬千的時(shí)候,應(yīng)該有的動(dòng)作當(dāng)然是 “tightly”(緊緊地),而不是其它的類似于politely(禮貌地),故選D。

14.14】B考查形容詞。A. opposite相反的;B. separate分開的;C. fixed固定的;D. lonely孤獨(dú)的,寂寞的。在接受了別人的幫助后,Susan終于要獨(dú)自一人登上旅程了。他們各自走各自的路, “separate”表示“分別的”,其實(shí)她的背后有很多默默支持她的人,顯然不是 “l(fā)onely”(孤獨(dú)的)這樣的詞。故選B。

15.15】D考查動(dòng)詞短語。A. took charge of掌管;C. took place of代替;C. took advantage of利用;D. took hold of吸引。句意:每天都在完美的進(jìn)行,一個(gè)瘋狂的興奮吸引了Susan。故選D。

16.16】A考查介詞短語。A. as usual像往常一樣;B. as a rule作為一條規(guī)則;C. as well 也;D. as a consequence因而,結(jié)果。as usual(像往常一樣),表示經(jīng)常發(fā)生的動(dòng)作再次發(fā)生。故選A。

17.17】B 考查動(dòng)詞。A. respect尊重;B. envy嫉妒;C. know 知道;D. support支持。envy(嫉妒,羨慕)仔細(xì)閱讀下面的文章,不難發(fā)現(xiàn),司機(jī)是準(zhǔn)備告訴Susan一個(gè)秘密。也就是要告訴她有很多人在默默地支持和關(guān)懷她。所以,根據(jù)上下文的理解,可以知道此刻司機(jī)是要表達(dá)一種羨慕嫉妒之情,也是對Susan的一種寬慰,故選B。

18.18】C考查疑問詞。A. what 什么;B. how怎樣;為什么;C. why ;D. who誰。句意:Susan好奇地問為什么。故選C。

19.19】A考查形容詞。A. past過去的;B. same 相同的;C. first 第一;D. next下一個(gè)。在過于的幾個(gè)星期中,英文應(yīng)該是 “for the past week” “next”表示的是下周,還沒發(fā)生的事情是不可能用完成時(shí)的,而且 “for”+一段時(shí)間,是現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)的時(shí)間狀語標(biāo)志,故選A。

20.20】C考查名詞。A. courage勇氣;B. will愿意;意志;C. sight視力;D. wisdom明智。sight表示“視力”。文中指的是,Susan雖然失去了視力,但是獲得了更多寶貴的東西。

考點(diǎn):考查故事類閱讀。

When I was ten my dad helped me buy my first ten-speed bicycle from Allen.I put up $60 of my grass cutting and snow shoveling (鏟) money and my dad put up the other half I would pay him back over the next six months.Although it was not in the latest style, it was my ticket to the adult world.

I spent that summer and autumn riding happily.My sister Liz, a prisoner(囚犯,俘虜) of her five-speed bicycle, never had a chance to keep up.Just before the Christmas deadline to pay my dad back, we were hit with several snowstorms.This allowed me to shovel enough driveways (車道) to pay off my debt.I was now officially a bike owner; it was a feeling unlike any other.

On that Christmas morning, my dad gave me a used portable (便攜式的) record player.I was excited.However, my joy was short-lived after my dad called my sister to the kitchen.“We have one more gift for you.” he said as he opened the door that led to the garage.There, on the steps, stood a new ten-speed bicycle.

“It’s not fair,” I complained.“I worked so hard for my bike.a(chǎn)nd it’s not even new.Then Liz gets a new bike.She didn’t have to do anything for it.” My dad smiled.“She didn’t have to do anything for it because it’s not really for her,” he said.What did that mean? I didn’t want her bike.

By spring Liz and I were riding all over town together now that she could keep up.As we grew, Liz and I became true friends.

Still I wasn’t smart enough to figure out what my dad meant until years later.That new bike was not a gift for Liz — it was a gift for me.He’d given me the gift of my sister’s company, the ability to stay together rather than drift apart (逐漸疏遠(yuǎn)) in the face of my ability to travel.He gave me my best friend.

Findings from a new study were presented at a recent meeting of the American Psychosomatic (身心的) Society. Researchers in the United States studied 100,000 women during an eight-year period, beginning in 1994. All of the women were fifty or older. The study was part of the Women’s Health Initiative organized by the National Institutes of Health.

The women were asked questions measuring their beliefs or ideas about the future. The researchers attempted to identify each woman’s personality eight years after gathering the information.

The study found that hopeful individuals were 14% less likely than other woman to have died from any cause. The hopeful women were also 30 less likely to have died from heart disease after the eight years, Hilary Tinkle from the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania was the lead author of the report. She said the study confirmed earlier research that linked optimistic feelings to longer life.

The researchers also gathered information about people’s education, financial earnings, physical activity and use of alcohol or cigarettes. Independent of those things, the findings still showed that optimists had less of a chance of dying during the eight-year period.

Some women who answered the questions were found to be hostile (敵意的), or highly untrusting of others. These women were 16% more likely to die than the others. They also were 23% more likely to die of cancer.

The study also found women who were not optimistic were more likely to smoke and have high blood pressure or diabetes. They were also more likely mot to exercise.

Tindle says the study did not confirm whether optimism leads to healthier choices, or if it actually affects a person’s physical health. She also says the study does not prove that negative emotions or distrust lead to bad health effects and shorter life. Yet there does appear to be a link that calls for more research.

1.In which part of a newspaper can you read the above passage?

A. Nation. B. Opinion.

C. Business. D. Science.

2.Researchers carry out the study to .

A. decide who is more likely to enjoy a happier life.

B. gather information for the National Institutes of Health.

C. find out the link between personality and health.

D. compare each woman’s personality changes.

3.What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Negative emotions cause a shorter life indeed.

B. The more optimistic you are, the longer life you may enjoy.

C. It’s uncertain whether optimism affects one’s health.

D. There may be some link between personality.

4.Who is more likely to die of cancer according to the passage?

A. A woman who doesn’t exercise.

B. woman who always doubts what others say.

C. A woman with high blood pressure.

D. A woman with poor physical health.

At the time, I would go out in the evening with my parents. But this time I had borrowed a bicycle from a friend of mine. I didn’t know why, but once I was on my own bicycle, a kind of free feeling flooded through me. The faster I rode, the faster I wanted to go! Far ahead, I rode as if my life depended on it, head down, hands grasping the handbars. I meant to get to Jinghai Bar as fast as I could...

Oh! My hands! Don’t come any closer... Don’t touch me! That poor doctor just couldn’t get my gloves off. Each time he took a step towards me, I broke into painful shouting. Much later, I discovered that I had crashed heavily with another bicycle, and I hadn’t spoken one word of sense for at least three hours! After some time, my mother arrived at the hospital, her face as white as a sheet, and gave me a hug, only then did the doctor begin to stitch(縫合) my head wound, not only did he merrily cut off a long lock of my hair, but used no anaesthetic(麻藥) either! Later, I seemed to hear faraway voices saying that my right hand was broken. I almost burst into tears. How would I ever play the piano again?

Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers.But last summer,Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son:suddenly he seemed to be talking more to his friends than to his parents.“The door to his room is always shut,”Joanna noted.

Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter.“She used to cuddle up(蜷伏)with me on the sofa and talk,”said Mark.“Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something.Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady.The problem is figuring out which time is which.”

Before age 11,children like to tell their parents what’s on their minds.“In fact,parents are first on the list,”said Michael Riera,author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers.“This completely changes during the teen years,”Riera explained.“They talk to their friends first,then maybe their teachers,and their parents last.”

Parents who know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are in the best position to help them.To break down the wall of silence,parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say,and try to find ways to talk and write to them.And they must give their children a mental break,for children also need freedom,though young.Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend,not a manager,with their children is a better way to know them.

1.“The door to his room is always shut”suggests that the son________.

A.is always busy with his studies

B.is angry with his parents

C.keeps himself away from his parents

D.begins to dislike his parents

2.What troubles Tina and Mark most is that_______.

A.their daughter isn’t as lovely as before

B.they can’t read their daughter’s mind exactly

C.they don’t know what to say to their daughter

D.their daughter has grown up so quickly

3.Which of the following best explains“the wall of silence”in the last paragraph?

A.Teenagers do not talk much with their parents.

B.Teenagers do not want to understand their parents.

C.Teenagers talk a lot with their friends.

D.Teenagers talk much about their own lives.

4.What can be learned from the passage?

A.Parents are unhappy with their growing children.

B.Parents have suitable ways to talk with their teenagers.

C.Parents should force their children to talk with them.

D.Parents should try to understand their teenagers.

It was Thanksgiving morning. I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together on the top step.

“Any old papers, lady?” asked one of them.

I was busy. I wanted to say “no” until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals, wet with heavy snow.

“Come in and I'll make you a cup of hot cocoa.”

They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started cooking.

The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich?”

“Am I rich? Pity, no!”

I looked at my worn?out slipcovers(椅套). The girl put her cup back in its saucer (碟) carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucers.” They left after that, holding their papers against the wind. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful.

Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.

I tasted the potatoes and stirred the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a regular job, these matched, too.

I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy marks of little sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am.

1.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A.Lady, are you rich?

B.A story of Thanksgiving Day

C.Don't forget how rich you are

D.Does cups and saucers match well?

2.The writer let the two children come in and served them well because________.

A.she wanted to sell old papers to them

B.she showed great pity and care on them

C.she wanted to invite them to her Thanksgiving party

D.she had the same experience as them in the past

3.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A.The girl thought the writer was rich just because she wanted to make the writer happy.

B.The writer had thought she wasn't rich because her supplies were not expensive.

C.If cups and saucers match well, they are a best pair even though cheap.

D.After hearing what they said, the writer seemed to understand what a rich life was.

4.The writer left the muddy marks of little sandals on the floor for a while to________.

A.show that she was a kind?hearted lady

B.leave room for readers to think about what being rich is

C.remind her that she shouldn't forget how rich she was

D.prove that she had understood what meant being rich

5.It can be inferred from the text that whether you are rich depends on________.

A.how much money you have made
