  Chad performs his 24-foot aluminums boat past willow young trees that stick out of the waters of the Mississippi River. 1 dances off maples(楓樹),their branches heavy with 2 spring leaves. But a 3 inspection discloses trouble behind the beautiful sight. Rubbish is 4 in a logjam(河道內(nèi)運(yùn)完木材所剩的木頭)and hangs from the tree's branches.

答案:A;D;C;C;A;B;C;D;A;C;A;B;D;B;A;C;D;C;B;A
解析:

(1) A 第一段所敘述的事情發(fā)生在白天,句中的dances off maples, spring leaves等語(yǔ)言所敘述的春天陽(yáng)光明媚的情景,能夠跳躍在樹影之間的,只有陽(yáng)光.

(2) D 空白后spring leaves已作出提示,樹上長(zhǎng)的是新鮮樹葉.

(3) C 在描述了一個(gè)春天的陽(yáng)光明媚的景象后,連詞but轉(zhuǎn)折,仔細(xì)觀察,就發(fā)現(xiàn)了麻煩,closer在此是“更仔細(xì)”的意思.

(4) C 上文敘述了麻煩來(lái)自污染,垃圾飄浮在河上,并掛在樹枝上.在河上運(yùn)完木材后,往往有一些剩木頭會(huì)聚在一個(gè)角落,垃圾也會(huì)被圈在其中, trapped形象地表現(xiàn)出這種情況.

(5) A 由空白后的the next three hours可以確定此空應(yīng)填介詞for,用來(lái)表示一段時(shí)間.

(6) B 此空應(yīng)填副詞even.意思是“甚至”,“連……都”,用來(lái)加強(qiáng)語(yǔ)氣,在列舉了許多垃圾后,強(qiáng)調(diào)bowling pins.

(7)  ahead for表示“向……方向前進(jìn)”.是固定的動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ).

(8) D 此空填effort表示“歡迎到密西西比河的美化和保護(hù)工程”的開(kāi)始是作為Chad一個(gè)人的努力.

(9) A 文中Chad's one-man effort已作出提示,此空填副詞alone,說(shuō)明清除密西西比河的污染是Chad一人獨(dú)自干的.

(10) C 該句時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)At first說(shuō)明,前邊發(fā)生的情況后來(lái)發(fā)生了變化.系動(dòng)詞appear后應(yīng)為兩個(gè)并列的消極意義的形容詞,說(shuō)明情況表面看來(lái)如此,而事實(shí)并非如此,下文所敘述的清理河道的情況正說(shuō)明了這一點(diǎn).

(11) A 根據(jù)下文中的提示backing(支持)可以看出,此空應(yīng)填supporters.

(12) B 根據(jù)句型結(jié)構(gòu),此空應(yīng)填及物動(dòng)詞,后跟名詞作賓語(yǔ),介詞短語(yǔ)作地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ),有BC供選擇.該句后邊的動(dòng)詞不定式to cover a football field表明,這里指把垃圾從河水中拖出,故填pulled.

(13) D 根據(jù)常識(shí),大部分廢物都會(huì)被回收利用.

(14) B 該句主語(yǔ)是Chad's operation,根據(jù)上下文我們知道,這個(gè)項(xiàng)目進(jìn)展順利,介詞短語(yǔ)in progress意為“在進(jìn)展中”.

(15) A 此句是對(duì)Chad清理河道行為的一個(gè)評(píng)價(jià). 從上文我們知道,這個(gè)項(xiàng)目開(kāi)始于1997年,時(shí)間并不早,但它堅(jiān)持下來(lái)了,規(guī)模并不小,故填biggest.

(16) C Chad的行為,鼓勵(lì)別人向他學(xué)習(xí),做同樣的事,故填same.

(17) D 根據(jù)下文對(duì)Chad十多歲時(shí),工作在密西西比河并宿營(yíng)在散落在河道上的島嶼可以確定,此空應(yīng)填yardback yard意為“后院”.

(18) C 此空設(shè)在islands后面, 是修飾islands的,而islands與后面waterway的關(guān)系應(yīng)該是dotting,即“島嶼散落在河道上”.

(19) B Chad孩童時(shí)在密西西比河上掘蚌,在島嶼上玩兒,這一切帶給他的是快樂(lè)(joy);在這種情況下“驕傲(pride)”則過(guò)分了.

(20) A Chad在前邊一句說(shuō)密西西比河使他謀生并給他帶來(lái)許多歡樂(lè),Chad在后邊一句是說(shuō)自己想為密西西比河做些事情作為報(bào)償.介詞短語(yǔ)in return是“作為對(duì)……的報(bào)答/回報(bào)”的意思.

閱讀下面短文,掌握其大意,然后從1-10各題所給的A.B.C.和D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

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(fù))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(diǎn)). 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

Then one morning our dream   38  . We hired a car and drove   39  to Dalat early in the morning. Splendid landscapes   40  on either side of the road   41   before us. The refreshing morning breeze was caressing (撫摸) our skin and in   42   spirits we were singing merrily.

I know my brother better than anyone else in the world. Since the moment of his birth, I’ve been part of his life. I had spent seven  29    years in the world with the attention of those around me. But when Rohan was born, life   30     . Suddenly I had to share my toys and there were no more bedtime stories or my own choice of food.

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. Whatever the reason was, he loved following me around. However, I seldom talked to him and   34      asked him to leave me alone.

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(hù)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?
