Question

Signs can sometimes be seen at the entrance of a house, expressing that a tramp（流浪漢）has passed. This special sign-language is frequently   50   by tramps to inform their    51   whether the host of a certain house is friendly or unfriendly, and to   52   them the trouble of making unnecessary calls.

Quite   53   one day, I came across a real tramp. He was such a rare sight these days that I stood some distance away and watched him. He was dressed just as a tramp should be in, old worn trousers, and a jacket many sizes too big for him. On his head there was a battered old hat and his boots were so old and worn; they were almost coming into pieces.

But the man himself looked cheerful as if he had not a   54   in the world. He rubbed his nose with his forefinger,    55   a funny turn, laid a small parcel    56   the front gate, and began   57   a sign made by a former caller. Although the sign was meaningless to me, it must have been   58  , for the tramp’s face lit up with satisfaction. He entered the front gate   59   and rang the bell. When the door opened, I saw him raise his hat   60   couldn’t hear his words. The   61   was very short indeed, for no sooner had he spoken a few words than the door closed fiercely in his face.

I felt   62   for him as he walked sadly out of the house. But just as quickly, his face lit up again and he moved quickly towards the gate. There he stopped, looked at the sign, and shook his head seriously as if he had made a bad mistake.   63   deeply into his pockets, he produced a piece of chalk, rubbed out the existing sign and made a new one in its place. He stared at it for a moment smiling to himself, then gathered his belongings, pushed back his hat and began walking towards the next house at an unhurried   64  , whistling as he went along.

試題分析：流浪漢們常將他們所使用的特殊符號畫在住戶的墻上，告知同行這家主人是否友好，可否去拜訪．本文講述一個流浪漢根據符號的指引去一戶人家乞討，結果卻吃了閉門羹．后來他發(fā)現是符號錯了。

1.考查動詞及上下文的呼應。employ使用；雇傭； make制造； take拿走； put up舉起,張貼。這種特殊的符號常被流浪漢用來告知同行是否可以進入該戶人家乞討。put up張貼，據下文，符號是畫在墻上，故不可選。故選A。

2.考查名詞及上下文的呼應。coaches教練； classmates 同學； fellows同行； friends朋友。據上下文是指告知同行。同行不一定都是朋友，故排除D項，所以選C。

3.考查動詞及上下文的呼應。share分享； save節(jié)��； give給 ；urge催促。據上文知，有了這種符號，流浪漢們就可省下做一些不必要的拜訪的麻煩，故選B。

4.考查介詞短語及上下文的呼應。從后半句came across得知為巧遇by chance。故選D

5.考查名詞及上下文的呼應。success成功的人； care 關心； failure失敗的人； responsibility責任。那個人看起來非常高興好像不是一個失敗的人，故選C。

6.考查動詞及上下文的呼應。give 給； launch開始，發(fā)射； set樹立； make a turn轉一圈。他滑稽地轉了一個圈”。故選D。

7.考查介詞及上下文的呼應。by 在附近； behind在……后面。流浪漢把包放在前門的旁邊，故選A。

8.考查動詞及上下文的呼應。draw畫； kiss輕拂；  correct改正； study研究。據上下文知這里是“研究”，“仔細看”那個符號，想弄清它代表的意思。故選D。

9.考查形容詞及上下文的呼應。sad傷心的； strange奇怪的； funny 滑稽的； exciting令人興奮的。根據下文for the tramp’s face lit up with satisfaction.指符號有幫助的，提供了好消息。故選D。

10.考查副詞及上下文的呼應。confidently自信地； innocently天真地； consequently 因此； consciously自覺地。他自信地走到前門摁響了門鈴。故選A。

11.考查連詞及上下文的呼應。and表示前后是順承關系； but表示前后是轉折關系； however表示前后是轉折關系； therefore表示前后是因果關系。我看見他舉起帽子但是聽不清他說的話。故選B。

12.考查名詞及上下文的呼應。conversation談話； introduction 介紹； argument論證； greeting問候。流浪漢與主人之間的談話。故選A。

13.考查形容詞及上下文的呼應。Happy高興的； frightened害怕的； capable 能干的； sorry難過的。看到他悲傷地走出來，我為他感到難過。故選D。

14.考查動詞及上下文的呼應。dig挖，插； steal偷； put放； look看。把手插到口袋里去找東西。故選A。

15.考查名詞及上下文的呼應。step 腳步； position 職位； pace 步法，步速； situation形式。pace這里指步伐節(jié)奏．流浪漢邁著不緊不慢的步伐，吹著口哨繼續(xù)往下家去乞討。故選C。
