Period Three Lesson 2 Great Buildings
Ⅰ.1.features 2.statue 3.angel 4.roofs 5.ruins 6.castle 7.balcony 8.skyscraper
Ⅱ.1.is made of 2.is located in 3.sort of 4.hear of 5.a type of 6.are in ruins
Ⅲ.(1)damaged (2)destroyed (3)ruined (4)ruins
[(1)destroy表示十分彻底的“损坏”,一般不能或很难修复。
(2)damage通常是部分性的“损害;伤害”,局部功能损害,并且能够修复。
(3)ruin指把某物损害到了不能修复、不能再使用的程度,常用于抽象的借喻中。既可用作名词,也可作动词,in ruins为固定短语,“成为废墟”。]
Ⅳ.1.B [lie in ruins表示变成一堆废墟。故选B项。]
2.C [句意为:我好几个月没收到他的来信了,坦白地说,我有点担心他。sort of=kind of=slightly有点;稍微地,符合题意。a kind/type of一种;一类;slight为形容词,意为“轻微的,稍微的”。]
3.A [考查动词短语辨析。come up with提出,拿出;come about发生,产生;come out出来,发行;come over顺便来访。句意为:——Dennis工作怎么样?——他总能提出促进销售的新主意。]
4.A [本句是“It’s+形容词+for/of sb.to do sth.”句型,译为“某人做某事是……的”。如果是表示人的性质、品格的形容词,要用of,故选A项。]
5.B [out of date表……过时了,不再时尚;而out of order指的是秩序乱了;in order表示秩序好的意思;in date短语不存在。故选B项。]
6.D [根据题意,此处应表示“毕竟,别忘了”。]
7.C [句意为:他有三个兄弟,没有一个是医生。由定语从句中的is可排除A、D。neither指“两者都不”。]
8.C [考查名词辨析。句意为:门窗都关闭着,没有强力侵入的迹象。这里sign表示“迹象”;scene表示“场景,景色”;signal表示“信号”;sight则表示“视野;景观”。根据句意,选C项。]
9.B [本题考查固定词组的用法。by chance偶然地;in turn轮流;反过来;in return
作为回报;in reply答复。根据句意“我们都知道,理论以实践为基础,反过来又服务于实践”可知选C项。]
10.A [此处是with引导的介词短语作状语。and,but,when是连词,需引导句子。故选A项。]
Ⅴ.1.C [从本句后面的“when compared to the huge neon signs”中的huge一词可知,此处填表示对比的“小(small)”。]
2.A [从后文来看,人们建立这样一座狗的雕像是要传扬对朋友的忠诚,其来历众所周知。自1934年以来,人们就把这座雕像作为朋友们见面的地点,由此来看雕像虽小,但应不难找到。]
3.D [meeting point会面处。]
4.B [Hachiko常在这里等Eisaburo Uyeno教授,因此人们把这里当作等待朋友到达、会见朋友的地点。]
5.C [上文提到是一座狗的雕像,在后文又明确提到Hachiko是一只狗。]
6.A [Eisaburo Uyeno是Hachiko的主人,后文两次出现的his owner可作提示。]
7.B [从一开始Eisaburo Uyeno和Hachiko就是非常亲密的朋友。friend一词在文章最后一句也出现了。]
8.A [Hachiko每天都会随它的主人一起“去(go)”Shibuya火车站。]
9.C [Eisaburo Uyeno是到火车站坐车去上班,根据本段最后一句“...suddenly at work”可知。]
10.D [用would表示过去习惯性的动作,指教授总是会“发现(find)”Hachiko在耐心地等他。]
11.C [sadly一词和他再也没有回家说明教授在工作时突然“去世(died)”。]
12.B [教授是在工作时去世的,他没有回到家,用before表示“还没有……,还未来得及……”的意思。]
13.B [依据下文可以看出前后分句为转折关系,“尽管……但是……”。]
14.C [前后句表示让步关系,“尽管(although)”Hachiko是只小狗,但它和教授之间有很“强的(strong)关系”。]
15.D [Hachiko继续每天在“车站(station)”等候。]
16.A [有时候它在那儿一次会“待(stay)”上几天。由本段第一句的“wait at the________ every day”可知不可能是leave。]
17.D [Hachiko有时候一次能在火车站待上几天,因此一些人认为“因为”有人给它食物吃。]
18.B [随着时间的流逝,Hachiko每天在火车站等主人归来,对于那些上下班往返者,它就“变得(became)”越来越熟悉。]
19.A [与句首“there is a life-size bronze statue of a dog”呼应。]
20.C [此时距Eisaburo Uyeno离世有十年之久,不可能选D项;Eisaburo Uyeno生前,Hachilo每天送主人到这里,所以A项也不正确;B项与Eisaburo Uyeno已不在世的情境不符。C项符合语境,最后一句意为“1935年,Hachiko在最后一次看到它的朋友的地方死去”。]
