Those fun trips had a(n) __4__impact.A chance encounter in 2000 proved that.One day,__5__working security at a school basketball game,Moody noticed two young guys__6__.He sensed trouble between them.__7__,one of them headed towards Moody and gave him a hug.“I __8__you.You took me __9__when I was in fifth grade.That was one of the __10__days of my life.”
Deeply touched by the boy’s words,Moody decided to create a foundation that__11__teenagers to the basics of fishing in camping programs.“As a policeman,I saw __12__there was violence,drugs were always behind it.They have a damaging__13__on the kids,”says Moody.
By turning kids on to fishing,he__14__to present an alternative way of life.“When you are sitting there waiting for a __15__,”he says,“you can’t help but talk to each other,and such __16__ can be pretty deep.”
“Talking about drugs helped prepare me for the peer(同龄人)pressures in high school,”says Michelle,17,who __17__ the first program.“And I was able to help my little brother__18__drugs.”
Moody faces__19__in three years,when he hopes to run the foundation fulltime.“I’m living a happy life and I have a responsibility to my__20__to give back,”Moody says.“If I teach a kid to fish today,he can teach his brother to fish tomorrow.”
1. A.drinking B.drug C.security D.smoking
答案 B
解析 警官Robert Moody的工作主要是处理吸毒和团伙犯罪等问题,后文如第三段的第二句等多次提及这一问题,而非是酗酒、安全、吸烟等,所以A、C、D三项不正确。
2.A.ran into B.got over C.left behind D.looked into
答案 A
解析 run into trouble陷入困境;get over翻越,渡过难关;leave behind落后;look into调查,研究。这里是说因为意识到有许多的青少年有这样的困难(身处困境之中),所以他才决定做点什么来解决这些问题。故A项正确。
3.A.ahead B.away C.off D.out
答案 C
解析 off作后置定语,修饰day,on his day off在闲暇之余,在不上班的时候,属于固定搭配。
4.A.immediate B.damaging C.limited D.lasting
答案 D
解析 这些有趣的活动具有长远性影响。从后文举的例子可以看出这一活动的影响之长远。故D项正确。immediate立刻,马上;damaging破坏性的,恶劣的;limited有限的。
5.A.once B.while C.since D.until
答案 B
解析 while引导时间状语从句,意为“当……的时候”。once表时间(含条件意味),“一旦……”;since表时间或条件,“自从……,既然……”;until表时间,“直到……(为止)”。文章叙述的是当他在负责一所学校篮球比赛的治安工作时发生的事情,根据句意知选while。
6.A.quarreling B.complaining C.talking D.cheering
答案 A
解析 这里举例说明前面钓鱼活动对青少年不良问题的影响,所以这里是指两个人
吵架时被Moody发现了。B、C、D三项均与文章的主旨不符。
7.A.Slowly B.Suddenly C.Finally D.Secretly
答案 B
解析 这里用Suddenly来突出事情的偶然性,男孩的动作是出乎他意料的。这也恰好说明了钓鱼活动的影响之广、之深。
8.A.understand B.hear C.see D.remember
答案 D
解析 remember记着,记得。男孩虽然有吵架的不良行为,但在看见他时能够立刻停止吵架并主动走过来与之交谈,这说明男孩仍然“记得”有关钓鱼的事情,并且受其影响而主动克制自己,纠正自己的行为。
9.A.fishing B.sailing C.boating D.swimming
答案 A
解析 这里是举例说明钓鱼活动的影响,与航海、划船及游泳等活动都没有关系。
10.A.quietest B.longest C.best D.busiest
答案 C
解析 选择best体现了男孩对于钓鱼活动的高度评价,充分说明了其影响之大。其余三项都不能与文章的主旨相吻合。
11.A.connects B.introduces C.reduces D.commits
答案 B
解析 句意:Moody决意建立基金会以引导孩子们掌握在野外钓鱼的基本知识。introduce引导,符合句意。connect联系;reduce降低,减少;commit委托,承诺。其目的在于让更多的青少年能够参与其中,而非把他们培养成钓鱼高手,所以A、C、D三项含义不符。
12.A.where B.unless C.as D.whether
答案 A
解析 句意:只要有了暴力,吸毒也就接踵而至。where在此引导地点状语从句,与Where there is a will,there is a way.是同样的句式结构。
13.A.impression B.burden C.decision D.impact
答案 D
解析 本文前面说暴力和吸毒相伴而来,这儿说暴力和吸毒对青少年的不良影响。而impression印象;burden负担;decision决定等都不符合Moody的观点。
14.A.asked B.intended C.pretended D.agreed
答案 B
解析 intend to do sth.打算、计划做某事。作者在此用intend一词来说明Moody的目的是通过将孩子们的注意力转向钓鱼来向他们展示一种不同以往的生活方式。
15.A.solution B.change C.bite D.surprise
答案 C
解析 句意:当你们坐在那里等待(鱼儿上钩)时,你们不妨相互之间进行一些谈话,而这些谈话往往是有深度的(指质量高的、有意义的交流)。
16.A.concerns B.interests C.conversations D.emotions
答案 C
解析 从前文的talk to each other可以得到提示。
17.A.participated in B.worked out C.approved of D.made up
答案 A
解析 Michelle曾经参加过Moody的钓鱼活动并且受益匪浅。participate in 参加;work out制订出,计算出;approve of同意;赞成;make up编造,补偿。
18.A.misuse B.avoid C.tolerate D.test
答案 B
解析 Michelle曾经参加过Moody的钓鱼活动,并成功地帮助弟弟远离毒品。avoid避免,使不再;misuse滥用;tolerate容忍,宽恕;test检测,检查。A、C、
D三项均与题意不符。
19.A.unemployment B.challenge C.competition D.retirement
答案 D
解析 由下文中的to run the foundation fulltime可知,他很快就要退休了。unemployment失业,这一含义文中并未提及。challenge挑战;competition竞争,与后文意思都不吻合。
20.A.team B.school C.family D.community
答案 D
解析 community社区,居住区域。Moody觉得自己生活得很愉快,是因为他认为自己尽到了回报周围人们的责任,使孩子们更加健康地成长。这从最后一句话If I teach a kid to fish today,he can teach his brother to fish tomorrow.可以看出Moody的想法。
Sb. be doing sth. when...某人正在干某事,就在这时……
在这个句型中,when是并列连词,意为“正在这时/那时”。when作并列连词还可用于下列句型中:
be about to do ...when...
be on the point of doing...when...
had done...when...
She was writing a letter to her penfriend when the light went out.
她正在给她的笔友写信,就在那时灯突然灭了。
