参考答案

Ⅰ.1.A 考查动词短语辨析。句意:“妈妈,我可以把家务放到明天做吗?”“我想恐怕不行。你不能把今天的工作推迟到明天。”putoff 推迟;turndown 调低,拒绝;giveaway 赠送;lookup 抬头,查阅。今天的事明天做,应该是“推迟”。故选A。
2.D 考查名词辨析。既然是酒后开车危险,那么此处应该是增加交通事故的“风险”。故选D。
3.B 4.C 5.C 6.A
7.A 考查形容词辨析。由“…shecouldhardlysayaword.”可知,此处指她如此“激动”。故选A。
8.D
Ⅱ.(i)[主旨大意] 史蒂文数年前在一次交通事故中失去了一只胳膊,在医院住了两年。刚开始时,他不能系鞋带、开瓶装水、剪指甲。生活真的是困难重重。后来在他妻子的帮助下,史蒂文开始参加各种各样的活动,慢慢地他就开始梦想有更好的生活了,而且他决定开始学习拉小提琴。因为对拉小提琴一窍不通,一开始他进步非常慢。后来,他遇到了一位业余小提琴手。在他的帮助下,史蒂文进步很快,而且时常在公共场合表演。尽管拉小提琴对生活没有多大帮助,但史蒂文说他不会放弃,而且他还将尝试生活中的各种新事物。
9.B 10.A 11.A 12.C
13.B 考查名词辨析。danger危险;difficulty困难;direction方向;argument争论。结合前文可知,史蒂文失去一只胳膊,生活处处是困难,后来史蒂文明白他不得不面对所有的困难,故所缺的词是difficulties。
14.D
15.D 考查副词辨析。normally通常来说;hardly几乎不;completely完全地;gradually逐渐地。结合上下文可知,此处是说史蒂文通过参加各种各样的活动开始逐渐梦想着更好的人生,并且决定学习拉小提琴,故所缺的词是gradually。
16.C 17.B
18.A 考查名词辨析。violinist小提琴手;pianist钢琴家;coach教练;singer歌手。结合下文可知,史蒂文遇到一个业余的小提琴手,故所缺的词是violinist。
19.C
20.B 考查介词短语辨析。athome在家;inpublic在公共场所;atschool在学校;inhospital在医院(住院)。结合下文中的“playedonthestreet”可知,此处是说他也在公共场合表演,故所缺的短语是inpublic。
21.D 结合句子结构分析可知,此处是考查not…but…的用法,故所缺的词是but。
22.A 结合后面的“hehastofacenewchallengeseveryday”可知,拉小提琴并没有使生活变得更容易,故所缺的词是easier。
23.C 考查动词短语辨析。cheerup 使振奋;keepup 保持;giveup放弃;pickup拾起,捡起 。结合上文及转折连词However可知,史蒂文不会放弃拉小提琴,故所缺的词是giveup。
(ii)24.impossible 25.probably 26.increased 27.togive
7
28.provide 29.shower 30.warmth 31.Since 32.us
33.accept
Ⅲ.[主旨大意]Lin的爱好非常多,但坚持不长久。在其11岁生日那天,爸爸决定带他去儿童活动中心,让他挑选一个能使得自己坚持一年的兴趣课。选来选去,Lin决定选修烹调课。没想到这个爱好让他坚持了下来并改变了他的人生轨迹。
34.A 细节理解题。从第三段描述可知,摄影课要求有照相机,而Lin家并不富裕,照相机价格又很昂贵,所以Lin放弃了这个课程。故选A。
35.C 词义猜测题。从第四段描述可知,尽管Lin都不知道“语言艺术”是什么意思,但这个陌生的课程吸引了他的眼球,即他的“注意力”。故选C。
36.B 推理判断题。从第五段中的“Itwasinexpensiveandconvenient,itcouldbedonealoneanditwasalsocreative.”可知,烹调课不贵,而且容易,能独自完成,并有创意。这些特点符合Lin的性格,因为他的兴趣总是改变,说明他不想拥有一成不变或太难的兴趣。故选B。
37.C 推理判断题。从第二段可知,Lin的每个兴趣爱好都不能坚持长久,现在他选择烹调这样枯燥无味的课,在爸爸看来,他肯定也不能坚持长久,因此表示怀疑。故选C。
