18、答案:B
19、答案:B
20、答案:C
21、答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中“InmyfamilywegotoIrelandandseerelativesandfriendsduringthesummervacation.”可知,RubyMullin在暑假里去看望亲戚和朋友。故选B。
22、答案:C
23、答案:D
24、答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中Astheoldestofthreechildren,...Momgotmywardrobe(全部衣物)fromneighborhoodmothers.(作为三个孩子中最大的一个,我从来没有任何像其他穷孩子一样的旧衣服穿。相反,妈妈从邻居妈妈们那里得到了我的全部衣物。)可知,作者小时候的衣服是从其他家庭那里得到的,故选B项。
25、答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段中Imaginethefunotherkidshadwhentheysawmewearingtheirusedclothing.(想象一下其他孩子看到我穿着他们的旧衣服时有多开心。)及第二段中Duringthoseyears,Islowlylearnedtohate...fornotbeingabletochangemysituation.(在那些年里,我慢慢地学会了恨。我恨查理,但我也恨自己不能改变自己的处境。)可推知,作者感觉自己的童年是痛苦不堪的,故选A项。
26、答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段中Hesaid,";Sir,whatkindofdressingwouldyoulikewithyoursalad";(他说:“先生,您的沙拉要用什么调料”)可知,查理是一名服务员,故选B项。
27、答案:D
28、答案:A
29、答案:B
解析:词义猜测题。根据第二段中的";Starickrealizedthatasaphotographerhehadaservicethatpeoplewouldusuallybewillingtopaymoneyfor,buthewouldinsteadofferhisphotographyservicestoanyonewhocouldprovidehimwithfood,shelterandtransportation";可知,Starick提供他的摄影服务来换取食物,住处和交通工具,因此可知,画线部分的意思是";交换";。
30、答案:D
31、答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段的首句";ApersonthatmanagedtomakeitaroundtheworldwithoutspendingmuchwasShantanuStarick.";可知,Starick有不花钱旅游的技能。
32、答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段“13yearsago,therewere15low-lyingislands...theresthavedisappearedunderwater.”(13年前,有15个低洼岛屿是路易斯安那州州鸟的繁殖区。然而如今,路易斯安那州东南部只有大约六个岛屿有褐鹈鹕巢,其余的都消失在水下。)可推断出,繁殖区域的消失对褐鹈鹕的生存构成了威胁。故选D。
33、答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中“Slatonandotherscientistssetupcamerastoobservepelicannestsontheisland.”可知,Slaton和其他科学家安装摄像机是为了观察岛上的鹈鹕巢。故选B。
34、答案:A
解析:词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句中的“biologistsbroughtyoung...acrosstheGulfofMexico(生物学家从附近的佛罗里达州带来了鹈鹕幼鸟,让它们……在墨西哥湾对面的空岛上)”和后文“Morethan1,200pelicanshavebeensetfreeinsoutheasternLouisianaover13years.(13年来,路易斯安那州东南部有1,200多只鹈鹕被放生。)”可推知,画线词inhabit意为“居住于,栖息在”。故选A。
35、答案:C
36、答案:DEGAF
③该段中的";Thefriendwhoisremaining";";thefriendwhohasmoved";分别对应选项G中的";theonewhowasleftbehind";";thefriendwholeft";,故选G。
⑤空后";long-distancefriendships—evencloseones—mayrequiremoreconsciousefforttosustain";表示";长距离友谊,即使是亲密的朋友之间,也可能需要更有意识的努力来维持";,又根据空后的but可知,空处内容应与空后内容形成转折,F项";通过社交媒体获得联系感是很容易的";符合语境。
37、答案:B
解析:此处指他搬进了一家动物收容所的犬舍,目的是帮助那些没人要的小狗被收养。withtheaimof...目的是……。故选B。
38、答案:B
解析:由下文Poore对Queen所做的事情可知Queen得到了最挚爱的(devoted)室友,此处说的这个室友就是Poore。故选B。
39、答案:D
解析:此题可以和4题一起解出。根据下文的“Ihavebeenvisitingthesheltereverysingledayforoverayearnow”可知,Poore是这家动物收容所的常客,既然是动物收容所的常客,那就对所有的动物都很熟悉。故本题选D,4题选C。
40、答案:C
解析:见上题。
41、答案:D
解析:由下文Poore对Queen的观察以及他为Queen所做的事情可知Queen尤其吸引了(attracted)他的注意。故选D。
42、答案:A
43、答案:A
解析:此题可以和28题一起解出。我们可以先看8题,由后面的关键词but可知,but前面表达的意思与后面表达的意思构成转折关系,后面说到“nowshejustliesinherbed”,由此可判断前面表示的是以前当Poore要来时它很兴奋(excited),现在和以前的状况差距很大,所以Poore很明显地(obviously)看到了它的放弃。故本题选A,8题选C。
44、答案:C
45、答案:B
解析:Poore搬到犬舍是想陪伴(company)Queen。故选B。
46、答案:D
解析:Poore在收容所生活的同时还要努力完成自己的工作,这是很有挑战性的(challenging)。故选D。
47、答案:B
解析:由下文的“untilsomeoneadoptsQueen”可知,Poore下定决心(determined)要留在犬舍,直到有人收养Queen。故选B。
48、答案:A
解析:由上文可知Poore搬进子犬合,所以此处指他在本周晕些时候大佳(settledinto)犬舍以后。故选A。
49、答案:D
解析:Poore搬进犬舍,应该是会成为许多国内新闻的焦点,hittheheadlines意为“成为新闻的焦点”。故选D。
50、答案:B
解析:由上文可知Poore想为Queen找到收养者,所以此处指但是没有可能的收养者(adopters)主动站出来。故选B。
51、答案:C
解析:由上文的“thisdoghaseventuallybeengivenalovinghome”可知,这只狗最终被收养了,所以此处是说它的道路和一个住在这个国家另一边的女人的道路相交了(crossed)。故选C。
52、答案:①took②toreach③that/who/whom④in⑤them⑥entirely⑦running⑧things⑨it⑩wonderful
②考查非谓语动词。decidetodosth.决定做某事。故填toreach。
③考查定语从句。设空处无提示词,前面为单数名词cousin,后面的句子缺with的宾语,故推测设空处引导定语从句。修饰指人的名词,且在从句中作宾语,可以用that、who或whom。这里指“一个是我已经25年没有联系过的表姐”。
④考查介词。getintouch是固定短语,意为“取得联系”。故填in。
⑤考查代词。由空前介词to可知,此处作to的宾语,故应用代词的宾格形式。故填them。
⑥考查副词。此处应用副词作状语修饰谓语hadforgotten。故填entirely。
⑦考查非谓语动词。dislikedoingsth.不喜欢做某事。故填running。
⑧考查名词的数。此处表示“跟我说一些非常友好的事情”,由空前的some并结合语境可知,此处应用名词的复数形式。故填things。
⑨考查代词。此处为“it+be+adj.+todosth.”结构,it作形式主语,代替后面真正的主语“tobetheonetotaketheinitiativetobekindandreachothers”。故填it。
⑩考查形容词。由空后名词rewards可知,此处应用形容词修饰名词。故填wonderful。
53、答案:
