Ⅳ.1.B [考查情景交际。句意为:——你喜欢目前的工作吗?——不是真的(喜欢)。我只是以此谋生而已。of course当然;not really不是真的;not likely不太可能;not a little非常。]
2.B [starve for意为“渴望得到”,starve to death意为“饿死”。句意为:这个调皮的男孩非常渴望得到一张CD,他很严肃地对他父亲说,他宁愿饿死也不愿放弃自己的要求。]
3.C [考查交际用语。从答语“你看看,牌子上面写着‘禁止吸烟!’”可判断,答话人表示介意并反对对方抽烟,因此选C项,“你最好别抽烟”。]
4.A [do sb. a favour的意思是“帮某人的忙”,因此本题的答案是A。]
5.B [句意为:——你能帮我把这些书搬到办公室吗?——好的,乐意效劳。with pleasure很乐意,当然愿意,是别人请求你去做某事,你表示愿意的回答。]
6.A [分析句子结构可知,表语由not...but...连接,再根据not后面的部分可知but后面的部分只能是名词性短语,故排除B、C两项;way作先行词时,其后的定语从句常用that或in which引导,也可省略关系词。故选A。]
7.C [考查with的复合结构。分析句子结构可知,此处应用with构成“with+宾语+宾补”结构,该结构在句子中作状语。]
8.A [句意为:他成功地使陪审团相信他是清白的。convince sb.of sth.使某人相信……,符合题意。persuade说服,常用于persuade sb.to do sth.结构;urge催促;推动;communicate交流。]
9.C [tough意为“坚强的”。句意为:极地探险者必须要很坚强,以忍受气候和其他困难。difficult困难的;rough粗糙的;curious好奇的。]
10.B [考查形容词。句意为:电脑和手机的确使我们的生活变得更便捷、更高效,但它们减少了我们面对面交流的需要。make our life easier and more efficient使我们的生活更便捷、更高效。]
Ⅴ.1.B 2.E 3.A 4.G 5.C
Ⅵ.参考范文
What an interesting picture! A Western young man, sitting at a table,is ready to eat a bowl of noodles.He is holding two forks the same way as we Chinese hold chopsticks. He is trying so hard to pick up the noodles that he is sweating a lot. At first glance, I think it’s a bit funny, for we Chinese take for granted that chopsticks are the tools for eating noodles. The man in the picture is trying to copy us. Obviously he is doing it the hard way. Maybe using one fork will do a better job. In my opinion, we don’t need to copy others’ ways of thinking. Sometimes a simpler way of doing things may be a better way.
