【解析】

1.C 考查動(dòng)詞。 作者正在等著上飯的時(shí)候,突然注意到(noticed)坐在靠近窗口的一個(gè)人不停地朝他這邊掃視,引起了他的警覺。know意為“知道,了解,認(rèn)識(shí),認(rèn)出”;understand意為“懂,了解,聽說,以為”;notice意為“注意到,看到,留心”;recognize意為“認(rèn)出,認(rèn)可,承認(rèn)”。根據(jù)句中關(guān)鍵詞“Suddenly”可知只有noticed符合語(yǔ)境。

2.D考查連詞。 那個(gè)人不停地朝作者這邊掃視,好像(as if)他認(rèn)識(shí)作者。since意為“自……以后/以來(lái),因?yàn)椋热弧;even if意為“即使”;though意為“雖然,盡管”;as if意為“好像,好似”。句中的“kept glancing in my direction”是關(guān)鍵信息。

3.B考查動(dòng)詞。  那個(gè)人在面前展開(open)一張報(bào)紙,裝作在看報(bào)。flat意為“(使)變平”;open意為“展開, 開始, 展現(xiàn)”;cut意為“切,割,剪”;fixed意為“固定,注視”等。根據(jù)下文“which he was   39   to read”可知報(bào)紙是展開的。

4.C考查動(dòng)詞。 那個(gè)人雖然展開了報(bào)紙,但是假裝(pretending)在看報(bào)。他是在拿報(bào)紙作掩護(hù),實(shí)際上是在窺視作者。hope意為“希望,盼望,期待”;think意為“認(rèn)為,以為,預(yù)料”;pretend意為“假裝,裝扮”;continue意為“繼續(xù),連續(xù)”。從下文“but I could   40   that he was keeping an eye on me.”可知那個(gè)人并非真的在看報(bào)。

5.A考查動(dòng)詞。 作者可以看出(see)那個(gè)人一直在窺視他。see意為“發(fā)覺,注意,看見”;find意為“發(fā)現(xiàn),找到,感到”;guess意為“猜測(cè),推測(cè),認(rèn)為”;learn意為“獲悉,了解,認(rèn)識(shí)到”。該題根據(jù)上文意境容易做出判斷。

6.D考查名詞。 當(dāng)服務(wù)員為我端來(lái)食物(food)時(shí),那個(gè)人感到困惑。menu意為“菜單”;bill意為“賬單,清單”;paper意為“紙,報(bào)紙,文件”;food意為“食物”。從第一段第一句中的“waiting for the food I had ordered to arrive”可知答案。

7.B考查形容詞。  那個(gè)人對(duì)我和服務(wù)員之間閑談(chatted with)的那種常見的或聽?wèi)T的(familiar)方式感到困惑。direct意為“直接的,直率的”;familiar意為“常見的,聽?wèi)T的,熟悉的”;strange意為“陌生的,奇怪的”;funny意為“有趣的,好笑的,滑稽的,古怪的”。服務(wù)員和顧客之間簡(jiǎn)短的閑談在服務(wù)場(chǎng)合是司空見慣的,由此常識(shí)可做出判斷。

8.A考查動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)。 參考第42題。chat with意為“與……聊天,與……閑談”;look at意為“看著,考慮”;laugh at意為“嘲笑,漠視”;talk about意為“談?wù)摚懻,議論”。因?yàn)樽髡叱Hツ羌绎埖,?duì)那里的人和環(huán)境都比較熟悉,和服務(wù)員之間的閑聊是常有的事。

9.B考查名詞。  時(shí)間(time)一分分地過去,那個(gè)人好像感到更加困惑。as time went on表示“時(shí)間漸漸的過去”。那個(gè)人對(duì)作者和服務(wù)員之間的那種閑聊的方式越來(lái)越感到懷疑。

11.D考查名詞。  最后那個(gè)人站起來(lái)走進(jìn)廚房(kitchen)。從下文“He came into the kitchen…”可知答案。

12.A考查動(dòng)詞。 那個(gè)人從廚房里出來(lái)付了賬單后,沒有再朝作者那邊看一眼就離開(left)了飯店。leave意為“離開,動(dòng)身,剩下”;act意為“行動(dòng),扮演”;sit down意為“坐下”;calm down意為“平靜下來(lái),鎮(zhèn)定下來(lái)”。從下文可知偵探弄清作者不是他要找的人時(shí),就離開了飯店。

18.B考查名詞。飯店的人告訴偵探他搞錯(cuò)(mistake)了。make a discovery意為“發(fā)現(xiàn)”;make a mistake意為“做錯(cuò),犯錯(cuò)(誤)”;make a decision意為“做出決定”;make a fortune意為“發(fā)財(cái),賺(大)錢”。偵探誤以為作者是嫌疑人而對(duì)其進(jìn)行跟蹤,結(jié)果被飯店人員證明偵探搞錯(cuò)了。

19.D考查形容詞。作者到店員認(rèn)識(shí)他的飯店用餐感到很幸運(yùn)(lucky)。pity意為“憾事,憐憫”;natural意為“自然的”;chance意為“機(jī)會(huì),運(yùn)氣”;lucky意為“幸運(yùn)的,僥幸的”。

When we can see well, we do not think about our eyes often. It is only when we can not see perfectly that we come to see how important our eyes are.

People who are nearsighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Many people who do a lot of close work, such as writing and reading, become nearsighted. Then they have to wear glasses in order to see distant things clearly.

People who are farsighted face just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses too.

Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts. Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.

When night falls, colors become fainter to the eyes and finally disappear. After your eyes have grown used to the dark, you can see better if you use the side of your eyes rather than the centers. Sometimes, after dark, you see a small thing to one side of you, which seems to disappear if you turn your head in its direction. This is because when you turn your head, you are looking? at the thing too directly. Men on guard duty sometimes think they see something moving to one side of them. When they turn to look straight at it, they can not see it any more, and they believe they were mistaken. However, this mistake happens because the center of the eye, which is very sensitive in daylight, is not as sensitive as the sides of the eye after dark.

We don’t know that our eyes are of great importance until ________.

A. we think about our eyes      B. we cannot see clearly

C. we wear glasses               D. we have to do much reading

According to the passage, a ________ is more likely to be nearsighted.

A. tailor   B. doctor    C. guard    D. painter

People who are farsighted ________ .

A. cannot do a lot of close work without glasses

B. can only see things that are very close to their eyes

C. have difficulty reading a book if they hold it at arm’s length

D. have the same problem as the nearsighted people

To see a small thing at night, it is better to look ________ .

A. with wide open eyes         B. with half shut or narrowed eyes

C. straight at it                    D. in a slightly different direction

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源: 題型:閱讀理解

Prolonging human life has increased the size of the human population. Many people alive today would have died of childhood diseases if they had been born 100 years ago. Because more people live longer, there are more people around at any given time. In fact, it is a decrease in death rates, not an increase in birthrates, that has led to the population explosion.

Prolonging human life has also increased the dependency load. In all societies, people who are disabled or too young or too old to work are dependent on the rest of society to provide for them. In hunting and gathering cultures, old people who could not keep up might be left behind to die. In times of famine, infants might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved, where as if the parents survived they could have another child. In most contemporary(當(dāng)代的) societies, people feel a moral obligation to keep people alive whether they can work or not. We have a great many people today who live past the age at which they want to work or are able to work; we also have rules which require people to retire at a certain age. Unless these people were able to save money for their retirement, somebody else must support them. In the United States many retired people live on social security checks which are so little that they must live in near poverty. Older people have more illnesses than young or middle-aged people; unless they have wealth or private or government insurance, they must often “go on welfare” if they have a serious illness.

When older people become senile (衰老的) or too weak and ill to care for themselves, they create grave problems for their families. In the past and in some traditional cultures, they would be cared for at home until they died. Today, with most members of a household working or in school, there is often no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person. To meet this need, a great many nursing homes and convalescent (療養(yǎng)的) hospitals have been built. These are often profit making organizations, although some are sponsored by religious and other nonprofit groups. While a few of these institutions are good, most of them are simply “dumping (倒垃圾的) grounds” for the dying in which “care” is given by poorly paid, overworked, and under skilled personnel.

It can be inferred from the passage that in hunting and gathering cultures _______.

A. it was a moral responsibility for the families to keep alive the aged people who could    not work

B. the survival of infants was less important than that of their parents in times of starvation

C. old people were given the task of imparting the cultural wisdom of the tribe to new generations

D. death was celebrated as a time of rejoicing for an individual freed of the hardships of life

According to the passage, which of the following statements about the old people in the United States is true?

A. Many of them live on social security money which is hardly enough.

B. Minority of them remain in a state of near poverty after their retirement.

C. When they reach a certain age, compulsory retirement is necessary and beneficial.

D. With the growing inflation, they must suffer more from unbearable burdens than ever.

The phrase “this need” in paragraph 3 refers to ________.

A. prolonging the dying old people’s lives

B. reducing the problems caused by the retired people

C. making profits through caring for the sick or weak people

D. taking care of the sick or weak people

Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude toward most of the nursing homes and convalescent hospitals?

A. Sympathetic.        B. Approving.         C. Optimistic.        D. Critical.
