[小题夯基练]
一、句内层次题
1．Two years ago, while Cathy was watching the Olympics, a dream came into her sweet little
head — to be a swimmer.Last summer, she wanted to 18.join our local swim team.She practiced
hard and finally __19__ it.
19．A.increased B．found
C．created D．made
解析：D [此题属固定搭配。根据空前“She practiced hard”可知，她最后做到了。make it“做
到，成功”，是固定搭配。]
2．(全国卷Ⅰ)
51 ． Approaching the vehicle, they saw that a woman was trying to get out of the broken
window.They told her to stay __52__ until the emergency personnel arrived, 53.but she thought the
car was going to 54.explode.
52．A.quiet B．still
C．away D．calm
解析：B [本题可以利用生活常识和文化背景解题。根据生活常识，当时处境危险，救
护人员来之前不能动(stay still)，以免伤势加重。quiet“静静的”，常表示一个人的性情稳定或
外表安静；still“静止的，不动的”；away“离开”；calm“平静的，镇静的”。]
3．To __51__ the amount of rubbish and to protect the 52.environment,_more governments are
requiring people to recycle materials.
51．A.show B．record
C．decrease D．measure
解析：C [本题可以利用对应成分分析法解题。
52．environment，more governments...
从上述分析可以看出，第 51 题与 protect 形成对应关系。因为后面有 and 这一并列连词，
并且 and 前后意思应该一致，我们可以很轻松地选出正确答案 C 项(decrease“减少”)。]
4．Larry told her that he had already put out the fire and she should not move __55__ she
injured her neck.
55．A.as if B．unlessC．in case D．after
解析：C [本题可以利用逻辑关系解题。拉里告诉她他已经把火扑灭，她不应该动，以
免(in case)伤了脖子。]
5．Several years ago I __37__ a letter from seventeenyearold Kerry, who described herself as
a worldclass faultfinder, almost always 38.bothered by things.
37．A.received B．answered
C．expected D．rejected
解析：A [本题可以利用语境暗示分析法解题。根据下文语境“who described herself as...”
可知，作者“收到”了一封信，信中一个十七岁的女孩凯里描述自己是一个世界级的吹毛求
疵的人。]
二、句组层次题
1 ． While we were 36.eating,_Kurt asked me, “John, what is your __37__ for personal
growth？”
...
Kurt 41.listened patiently, but then he 42.finally smiled and said, “You don't have a
personal plan for growth，do you？”
37．A.suggestion B．demand
C．plan D．request
解析：C [本题可以利用语义复现解题。本题为原词复现。由 42 空后的“You don't have
a personal plan for growth, do you？”可知选 plan，表示个人成长计划。]
2．For years I dealt with my travel agent only by phone.Rani, my faceless agent whom I'd never
met 47.in_person,_got me rockbottom prices on airfares, cars, and hotels.But her cold voice really
__48__ me.I sometimes wishes to 49.find another agent.
48．A.annoyed B．interested
C．discouraged D．confused
解析：A [本题可以利用态度或感情色彩关联解题。前文提到多年来，作者与他的旅行
代理人仅以电话来沟通，从未见过面，这个旅行代理人总能给自己最低价格(rockbottom prices)，
但是她的声音却是冷冰冰的，后文又提到作者有时希望另外找个代理人，可知代理人冷冰冰
的声音让作者不开心，很生气。]
3．All around the world, we can see the 50.consequences of this throwaway lifestyle.Mountains
of rubbish just keep getting bigger.To 51.decrease the amount of rubbish and to protect the
52.environment,_more governments are requiring people to recycle materials.__53__， this is not
enough to solve (解决) our problem.
53．A.However B．Otherwise
C．Therefore D．Meanwhile解析：A [本题可以利用逻辑关系解题。
通过上述对本空前后文已知信息的分析，能够发现上下文是明显的转折关系，因此答案
可以确定为选项 A。]
4．When I was 13 my only purpose was to become the star on our football team.That meant
41.beating_out Miller King, who was the best __42__ at our school.
42．A.coach B．student
C．teacher D．player
解析：D [本题可以利用语境暗示分析法解题。根据上文中的“my only purpose was to
become the star on our football team”可知，此空与“球员，选手”(player)有关，而不是教练(coach)、
学生(student)或老师(teacher)。]
三、语篇层次题
1．Lainey finished third grade.She had good grades and could read 41.above grade level, but she
did not like to read.On a family car trip, her Aunt Dede pulled out a copy of Harry Potter, as a
surprise for her 42.niece.But Lainey took one look at it, 43.rolled her eyes, and said, “Borrrring！”
Aunt Dede, a teacher, had read the book to her students, and they loved it.44.Even the
youngest children in the class were 45.attracted by the story.They 46.listened with great interest, and
then 47.enthusiastically joined in grand conversations about Harry's adventures.
“How can you say it's __48__？Have you read it？” asked Aunt Dede.
48．A.amazing B．boring
C．ridiculous D．humorous
解 析 ： B [ 本 题 可 以 利 用 语 义 复 现 解 题 。 本 题 为 原 词 复 现 。 上 文 “and said ，
‘Borrrring！’”中的 Borrrring 是第 48 空的原词复现，故选 B 项。]
2．Hundreds of people have formed impressions of you through that little device (装置) on your
desk.And they've never actually 41.met you.Everything they know about you 42.came through this
device sometimes from hundreds of miles away.43.Yet they feel they can know you44.just from the
sound of your voice.That's how powerful the __45__ is.
Powerful, yes, but not always 46.accurate.For years I dealt with my travel agent only by phone.45．A.telephone B．voice
C．connection D．impression
解析：A [本题为语篇层次题。本题很容易因为前文中的“the sound of your voice”而错选 B
项“voice”，但是文章开头说到“that little device”，因此这里讲的是“你书桌上的那台小装置”，
下文也提到“only by phone”，因此本题选 A 项“电话”。]
3．Two years later, Dad started his own __31__， which wasn't doing so well...
After my graduation, Dad's business was getting back on track.
31．A.family B．business
C．task D．journey
解析：B [本题可以利用语义复现解题。本题为原词复现。下文“Dad's business was getting
back on track”中的 business 是 31 空的原词复现，故选 B 项。]
[大题提能练]
A(记叙文)
I had been standing perfectly still for a few minutes when a large black snake was moving past
me.The long body __1__ moving so slowly by that it __2__ appeared to move.I stood shaking with
__3__，not daring to make the slightest __4__.
At last it __5__，and I ran away，thinking that __6__ again would I venture into or near that
__7__ spot.
However，I did venture.The picture of that black mysterious thing was always in my __8__
from the moment of __9__ in the morning until I fell asleep at night.Yet I never said a word about
the __10__ to anyone：it was my __11__，and I knew it was a dangerous one，__12__ I did not want
to be told not to __13__ that spot again.And I simply could not __14__ it；the desire to look again at
that strange thing was too __15__.I began to visit the place again，day after day.And I had decided I
would take to my heels if it did __16__.Once again that slight sound，like that a few days before，
reached my __17__.And there appeared the black head and neck，followed by the long，endless
body.I dared not __18__，since attempting to escape might be dangerous.About a yard from me there
was a __19__ in the ground，and into it the snake put his head and slowly，slowly __20__ itself in，
while I stood waiting until the head to the tip of the tail disappeared and all danger was over.
解析：[语篇解读] 每个人都会有自己历险的经历。本文作者以生动的笔触讲述了自己冒
险探秘、观看蛇入洞的经历。
1．A.continued B．started
C．enjoyed D．stopped
解析：A [考查动词。此处的“The long body”指前文出现的“a large black snake”，前面已
经提到这条蛇正在从作者旁边爬过去，所以不能说蛇开始移动；又由“moving so slowly by”可
知，蛇并没有停止移动。故选 A。]2．A.naturally B．hardly
C．finally D．clearly
解析：B [考查副词。结合前面的 slowly 一词可知，此处表示蛇移动得如此缓慢以至于
几乎看不出它在动。hardly 几乎不。]
3．A.surprise B．joy
C．terror D．cold
解析：C [考查名词。根据前面的 shaking 可知，此处表示作者在蛇经过时吓得浑身发
抖。]
4．A.mistake B．movement
C．difference D．change
解析：B [考查名词。此处表示“丝毫不敢动”，与第一句中的“standing perfectly still”相
呼应。]
5．A.disappeared B．died
C．rested D．paused
解析：A [考查动词。此处表示蛇从作者身边经过后消失了。]
6．A.ever B．once
C．never D．still
解析：C [考查副词。从上文蛇经过时的描述可知，蛇吓得作者发抖，作者应该再也不
敢冒险到这个蛇出没的地方了。]
7．A.attractive B．dangerous
C．boring D．quiet
解析：B [考查形容词。通过 venture 及 terror 等词的提示可知，此处表示作者认为有蛇
出没的这个地方很危险，下文也出现过 dangerous 一词。]
8．A.eye B．opinion
C．mind D．dream
解析：C [考查名词。此处表示那个黑色的神秘东西的图像总是浮现在作者的脑海里。]
9．A.waking B．sleeping
C．planning D．exercising
解析：A [考查动词。此处与空后的“fell asleep at night”相呼应，表示从作者清晨醒来的
那一刻。]
10．A.picture B．plan
C．snake D．trouble
解析：C [考查名词。前文只是提到蛇的图像总是浮现在作者的脑海里，并没有提到过
计划，作者也没有说这是麻烦、烦恼之事，因此不能选 B 和 D。又由下文的“it was a dangerous one”可知，空处指的是蛇而不是图像。]
11．A.excuse B．secret
C．shortcoming D．duty
解析：B [考查名词。根据“Yet I never said a word about the 10(snake) to anyone”可知，作
者没有和任何人讲起关于这条蛇的事，这当然是一个秘密了。]
12．A.but B．and
C．or D．for
解析：A [考查连词。空前的意思与空后的意思存在转折意味，因此应选 but。 ]
13．A.imagine B．visit
C．recognize D．search
解析：B [考查动词。此处表示作者知道这条蛇很危险，但是却不想被(别人)告诉不要去
那个地方，且下文出现过 visit，故选 B。]
14．A.look down upon B．put up with
C．get along with D．keep away from
解析：D [考查动词短语。空后的 it 是指总是想到蛇这件事，所以选 D。此处表示这种
想法总是挥之不去。look down upon 瞧不起，put up with 忍受，get along with 与……和睦相
处。]
15．A.harmful B．horrible
C．strong D．important
解析：C [考查形容词。此处表示作者总是在想这件事，那是因为想要去看看那个有蛇
出没的地方的愿望太强烈了。]
16．A.wake up B．turn up
C．hide away D．die away
解析：B [考查动词短语。此处补全后意为“如果蛇真的出现了，我会跑开”。take to one's
heels＝run away，意为“逃走”。]
17．A.sense B．feeling
C．imagination D．heart
解析：A [考查名词。此处表示作者听到了那个和几天前一样的声音。]
18．A.shout B．move
C．look D．leave
解析：B [考查动词。此处表示作者不敢动。下文的“attempting to escape might be
dangerous”也是提示。]
19．A.box B．shelter

的洞，蛇最后爬进了这个洞里面。]
20．A.cut B．found
C．drew D．lost
解析：C [考查名词。draw 意为“拖(动)，拉(动)”，与后面的 in 一起，表示这条蛇慢慢
地爬进了洞里面。]

surgeries，sadness and depression.I was in a car __1__ on my way home，being hit by a truck.My left

人生。其乐观向上的人生态度是值得人们学习的。

出了车祸。]
2．A.operated B．examined

表示作者的左腿被卡在两个轮之间了。]
3．A.absurd B．terrifying
C．constant D．brief解析：B [考查形容词。根据语境及常识可知，此处表示极其可怕的(terrifying)记忆。absurd
荒谬的，愚蠢的；constant 不变的，恒定的，经常发生的；brief 简短的，短暂的。]
4．A.planted B．forgotten
C．destroyed D．changed
解析：A [考查动词。空处所在句为非限制性定语从句，其关系词 which 在从句中作主
语，指代的是 memories。此处表示，这些记忆永远根植在了作者的大脑中，是作者永远也忘
不了的。]
5．A.waiting room B．hospital
C．school D．bedroom
解析：B [考查名词。作者车祸之后应当住院接受治疗，因此应该选择 B 项，即作者先
在医院度过了一年半的时间。]
6．A.strange B．cold

8．A.fed up B．worn out

堪；be/get cheered up 振作起来；be/get knocked out 被打昏。]

腿”。在学校不能这样做，因为要穿统一的校服。故选 C 项。]

C．especially D．luckily解析：C [考查副词。此处应该选 C 项，表示有人欺负他、骂他，尤其是在小学的时
候。]
12．A.knowledge B．strength
C．shortcoming D．illness
解析：B [考查名词。与前一句结合起来分析可知，此处是作者励志的话语。此处表示
伤疤不能定义一个人，这伤疤恰好是作者坚强的证据。]
13．A.drink B．watch
C．wear D．buy
解析：C [考查动词。根据上文中穿衣服遮盖伤疤那一细节的提示和此处作者开始变得
自爱了，并且接受了自我可推断，此处表示作者现在想怎么穿就怎么穿，不用去刻意遮盖
了。]
14．A.hand B．eye
C．mouse D．leg
解析：D [考查名词。四个选项中 D 项是全文的一条主线，全文都是从 leg 这一线索展
开的。此处表示伤残的腿并没有阻挡作者追求自己的梦想。]
15．A.wrote B．pushed
C．slowed D．cut
解析：C [考查动词。本句主语 It 指代 leg，腿脚不好与走路的速度相关，所以选择 C 项。
此处表示那条腿减慢了作者走路的速度。]
16．A.life B．hope
C．health D．money
解析：B [考查名词。空前的转折连词 but 是解题的关键所在，此处表示那条受伤的腿虽
然减慢了作者走路的速度，但从未带走他的希望。B 项的 hope 与前文的 my dreams 也相吻
合。]
17．A.gone through B．talked about
C．cared for D．handed in
解析：A [考查动词短语。此空所在的句子含有一个 what 引导的宾语从句，what 在从句

历”。]
18．A.cheated B．followed

象的原因及解决问题的办法。
1．A.key B．reason
