We had __1__ to meet at the restaurant at seven o'clock. I felt a little uneasy, but to my __2__， I had a good excuse: A business meeting had __3__ and I'd wasted no time getting to the dinner. When I arrived at the __4__， I apologized and told Eleanor I didn't mean to be late. She screamed, “You never mean to.” Well, I __5__ tell she was angry. “I'm sorry but it was not __6__，” I said. Then I told her about the business meeting. __7__， my explanation seemed to make things worse, which started to drive __8__ mad as well. Several weeks later, when I __9__ the situation to my friend Ken Hardy, he smiled, “You __10__ a classic mistake. You're stuck __11__ your own way of thinking. You didn't __12__ to be late. But that's not the point. What is __13__ in your munication is how your lateness affected Eleanor.” He pointed out that I focused on the intention __14__ Eleanor focused on the result. Thus, __15__ of us felt misunderstood and crazy. Thinking more about Ken's words, I __16__ recognized the root cause of such disagreement. It's the result of the action that really __17__. I should have started the conversation by expressing __18__ my actions affected Eleanor and __19__ the discussions about my intention for later, much later and even never. Later on, after talking to Eleanor and really __20__ her experience of the results of my lateness, I've managed to be on time a lot more frequently. 1．A.started B．agreed C．continued D．managed 2．A.relief B．surprise C．regret D．sorrow 3．A.broken out B．closed down C．faded away D．run over 4．A.house B．room C．restaurant D．supermarket 5．A.could B．must C．will D．might 6．A.movable B．fortable C．acceptable D．avoidable 7．A.However B．Therefore C．Moreover D．Otherwise 8．A.her B．him C．me D．them 9．A.spread B．wrote C．translated D．described 10．A.knew B．made C．found D．took 11．A.in B．beyond C．for D．against 12．A.need B．prove C．pretend D．intend 13．A.funny B．important C．possible D．simple 14．A.while B．after C．until D．unless 15．A.all B．none C．both D．neither 16．A.usually B．merely C．hardly D．gradually 17．A.inspires B．matters C．improves D．challenges 18．A.how B．why C．when D．what 19．Apared B．reported C．finished D．saved 20．A.showing B．satisfying C．understanding D．destroying 答案與解析 這是一篇記敘文。一次，作者與妻子約好一起吃飯．但是遲到了半個小時。作者的解釋不但沒有讓妻子息怒，反而讓情況變得更加糟糕。后來，當作者與一個朋友談起此事，朋友的一番話讓他恍然大悟，意識到了問題的根源。 1．B　根據上文中關鍵詞語the dinner appointment可知，作者與妻子約好七點鐘在餐館見面，但是作者遲到了。start “開始”；agree “同意，商定”；continue “繼續(xù)”；manage “完成，努力做到”。 2．A　根據上文I felt a little uneasy和句中的but一詞可知，但是作者感到有些寬慰的是，他有一個很好的借口。relief “寬慰，放松”；surprise“驚訝”；regret“后悔”；sorrow“難過，悲傷”。 3．D　run over 有“超過(預期的限額)”的意思，在此處表示會議的時間超出了原來預想的時間，這就是作者遲到的借口。break out“(火災，戰(zhàn)爭等)爆發(fā)”；close down“倒閉”；fade away“減弱”。 4．C　根據第一段內容可知，作者與妻子約定見面的地點是一家餐館，所以此處選C項。 5．A　根據上文妻子所說的話，作者能夠判斷出妻子生氣了。could“能夠”；must“必須”；will“將要”；might“也許，可能”。 6．D　根據語境可知，看到妻子生氣了，作者繼續(xù)解釋遲到是無法避免的事情。movable“可移動的”；fortable“舒適的”；acceptable“可接受的”；avoidable“可避免的”。 7．A　該空的前后兩個句子之間是轉折關系，所以選用however。作者原本以為自己有一個很冠冕堂皇的理由，然而，他的解釋卻使情況變得更糟糕。 8．C　根據語境可知，作者的借口使情況變得更糟了，事情的發(fā)展遠遠超出他的想象，這簡直讓他抓狂。由空格后面的as well可知選C項。 9．D　根據下文內容可知，幾周后，作者向朋友描述了那天的情景。spread“展開”；write“書寫”；translate“翻譯”；describe“描述”。 10．B　根據朋友的一番話可知，朋友覺得作者犯了一個典型的錯誤。make a mistake“犯錯誤”。 11．A　朋友認為，作者一味困在自己的思維方式當中，沒有考慮妻子的感受。be stuck in“被困在，陷入”。 12．D　根據上文內容可知，作者不是故意遲到的。intend to do sth.為固定搭配，表示“想要做某事”，符合語境。 13．B　根據前面的句子But that's not the point.可知，important與the point相對應。重要的不是作者不想遲到這個事實，而是作者的遲到如何影響了他的妻子。 14．A　作者看重的是意圖而妻子看重的是結果。while在此處是并列連詞，表示對比和轉折。 15．C　因為當事人就是作者和妻子兩個人，所以此處用both 表示兩人都感到被對方誤解了并非常生氣。 16．D　根據語境Thinking more allout Ken's words可知作者逐漸意識到夫妻兩人出現爭執(zhí)的根本原因是什么。 17．B　It's...that matters.是一個常見句型，意思是“重要的是……”。inspire “激勵，鼓舞”；matter “要緊，有重大影響”；improve “提高”；challenge “挑戰(zhàn)”。 18．A　作者覺得當時自己應該首先表達自己的遲到行為如何影響了妻子，而不是一味給自己辯解。根據第14空之前的how your lateness affected Eleanor可知此空填how。 19．D　作者仍然在反省，自己當時應該保留關于自己并不想遲到的意圖的討論，以后再提遲到的意圖這件事，或者干脆不提。pare“比較”；report “報道”；finish “完成”；save “保留”。 20．C　根據語境可知，后來，作者與妻子進行了溝通和交流，也真正理解了自己遲到這一后果對妻子的影響。show “展示”；satisfy “使?jié)M意”；understand “理解”；destroy “破壞”。 Cloze 2 (xx·安徽卷) In xx, I had just recovered from a serious illness when I received an invitation to a writer's conference in Orlando, Florida. My family persuaded me that a(n) __1__ might be just what the doctor ordered, so off I __2__. Arriving in the Sunshine State was rather tiring, but I __3__ to catch a taxi to my __4__ and settle in. Next morning, I took another __5__ to the shopping centre to buy a few souvenirs. __6__ I went to a cafe to have lunch, but all the tables were __7__. Then I heard a friendly voice saying, “You can __8__ my table.” I gratefully sat down with the __9__ lady and we had a happy lunch together. As the __10__ drew to a close she asked how long I would be in Orlando. I had already told her that I hadn't __11__ a car, and hadn't realised how __12__ taking taxis would be. After a while she said, “My dear, don't use any more taxis. I'm retired and it would be my pleasure to __13__ you wherever you wish.” I told her that I couldn't put her to that __14__， but she brushed aside my protests(反對). She asked me where I was __15__ and next morning she was waiting at my apartment at the __16__ time to take me to Disney World. She spent some time with me before leaving me to __17__ alone. At the end of the day, she __18__ to take me back to my acmodation. I __19__ her money but she refused to take any. I'll never forget that wonderful lady who, through her __20__， filled my brief holiday in Florida with wonderful memories. 1．A.holiday B．ceremony C．operation D．experiment 2．A.kept B．went C．dropped D．knocked 3．A.intended B．promised C．managed D．deserved 4．A.hospital B．pany C．university D．acmodation 5．A.colleague B．passenger C．suitcase D．taxi 6．A.Instead B．First C．Later D．Once 7．A.classified B．occupied C．decorated D．painted 8．A.share B．reserve C．set D．possess 9．A.old B．poor C．innocent D．stubborn 10．A.journey B．meal C．speech D．interview 11．A.donated B．repaired C．hired D．guided 12．A.convenient B．worthwhile C．unfortunate D．expensive 13．A.inspire B．entertain C．call D．drive 14．A.business B．argument C．trouble D．challenge 15．A.working B．staying C．moving D．shopping 16．A.appointed B．limited C．favourite D．regular 17．A.digest B．explore C．perform D．calculate 18．A.forgot B．refused C．returned D．preferred 19．A.sent B．lent C．offered D．owed 20．A.confidence B．dignity C．curiosity D．kindness 答案與解析 本文是一篇記敘文。作者受邀去佛羅里達參加一個會議，同時順便度假。期間作者得到一位老太太善意的幫助，這位老太太的善良，給作者的這次度假留下了美好的回憶。 1．A　根據第一段第一句、第二句“...just what the doctor ordered...”以及最后一段“...filled my brief holiday...”的提示，可知本空為holiday。這句話的意思是：我的家人勸說我，假期也正好是醫(yī)生要求的，因此我就去了。故選A項。 2．B　解析參照1題。 3．C　根據第二段第一句中的“...rather tiring, but I．..”可知，作者克服了困難，最終打了個出租車去了住宿地點。這句話的意思是：到達陽光之州令人相當疲勞，但我還是設法打了輛出租車去了住宿地點并且住下來。故選C項。 4．D　由第一段可知，作者去外地開會，因此排除A、B、C三項，同時第三段最后一句“...take me back to my acmodation.”也有提示，故D項正確。 5．D　根據本句中“another”一詞可知，前面已出現過一次，由一句內容可知為出租車，故D項正確。 6．C　此處表示時間上的先后順序，第二天早上(next morning)先購物，午餐(lunch)在后，故選C項，later 此處表示“此后”。 7．B　所有的桌子都滿人了，因此才出現后面老太太和作者共用一張餐桌。classify “分類”；occupy “占據”，decorate “裝飾”；paint “畫，漆”。故選B項。 8．A　由下文可知，老太太提出和作者共用一張餐桌。share “分享，共享”；reserve “保留，預訂”；set “設置”；possess “擁有”。故選A項。 9．A　根據第三段第五句“I'm retired(退休)．..”可知A項正確。 10．B　由上句“...we had a happy lunch together.”可知，這里是“進餐”。這句話的意思是：就在午餐快吃完的時候，她問我在奧蘭多要待多長時間。故選B項。 11．C　這句話的意思是：我早已告訴她我以前從來沒有租過車，沒有意識到乘出租車會這么貴。因此才引出下文，老太太主動提出她開車帶“我”去轉轉。故選C項。 12．D　解析參照11題。 13．D　inspire “鼓勵”；entertain “招待”；call “叫，打電話”；drive “駕駛，用車送”。根據下文老太太開車帶著作者四處轉，可知D項正確。 14．C　根據下一句“...but she brushed aside my protests.”可知，作者不想給這位老太太添麻煩，但老太太對作者的反對置之不理。brush aside “不理，漠視”。故選C項。 15．B　work “工作”；stay “停留，住在”；move “移動”；shop “購物”。由全文可知，作者去開會，順便度假，因此是短暫停留，故選B項。 16．A　前面信息是老太太堅持用車帶“我”四處轉轉，并問我的住宿地點，這里應該是約好時間的。appoint “約定，指派”；limit “限制”；favourite “特別喜愛的”；regular “定期的”。故選A項。 17．B　digest “消化”；explore “探究，探險”；perform “表現”；calculate “計算”。這句話的意思是：老太太離開了一段時間，讓我自己獨自游玩。只有explore 與旅游有關，故選B項。 18．C　由本句“...take me back to my acmodation.”可知，在天色將晚時，老太太返回把“我”送回到住宿地點。故選C項。 19．C　send “送”；lend “借”；offer “提供；主動給……”；owe “欠”。這句話的意思是：我主動給老太太錢，但她不要一分錢。故選C項。 20．D　confidence “信心”；dignity “尊嚴，高貴”；curiosity “好奇心”；kindness “善良，善心”。根據老太太的一系列表現可知這都是一種善意的幫助。故選D項。 Cloze 3 (xx·四川卷) My husband, Tom, has always been good with animals, but I was still amazed when he befriended a female grouse(松雞). It's __1__ for a grouse to have any contact(接觸) with people. In fact, they're hard to spot, __2__ they usually fly off when they hear humans approaching. This grouse came into our lives in __3__. Tom was working out in the field when he __4__ her walking around at the edge of the field. She was __5__ unafraid and seemed to be __6__ about what he was doing. Tom saw the __7__ bird several times, and she got more fortable around him. We quickly grew __8__ of the bird and decided to call her Mildred. One day, as Tom was working, Mildred came within a few feet of him to watch. Tom __9__ he didn't see her and kept working to see what she would do next. Apparently, she didn't like to be __10__. She'd run up and peck(啄) at Tom's hands, then __11__ off to see what he would do. This went on for about 20 minutes, until Mildred became tired of the __12__ and left. As spring went and summer came, Mildred started to __13__ more and more often. __14__ Mildred felt fortable enough to jump up on Tom's leg and stay long enough for me to get a __15__ of the two of them together. This friendly grouse soon felt __16__ not just with our family, but with anybody who walked or drove by. When hunting season opened, we put a __17__ at the end of our driveway asking __18__ not to shoot our pet grouse. My father, who lived down the road, __19__ warned people not to shoot her.__20__， hunters would stop and take pictures, because they had never seen anything like her. 1．A.interesting B．reasonable C．impossible D．unusual 2．A.though B．because C．unless D．until 3．A.spring B．summer C．autumn D．winter 4．A.got B．kept C．noticed D．imagined 5．A.naturally B．certainly C．normally D．surprisingly 6．A.crazy B．curious C．concerned D．cautious 7．A.shy B．awkward C．friendly D．elegant 8．A.careful B．tired C．fond D．sick 9．A.supposed B．realized C．hoped D．pretended 10．A.ignored B．observed C．amazed D．disturbed 11．A.put B．back C．set D．take 12．A.game B．work C．place D．man 13．A.give up B．e out C．turn over D．fly by 14．A.Eventually B．Suddenly C．Constantly D．Presently 15．A.chance B．dream C．picture D．sense 16．Afortable B．guilty C．anxious D．familiar 17．A.lantern B．sign C．gun D．loudspeaker 18．A.drivers B．farmers C．hunters D．tourists 19．A.just B．yet C．thus D．also 20．A.In fact B．For long C．On the contrary D．By the way 答案與解析 本文是一篇記敘文。作者的丈夫在地里干活時，無意中發(fā)現了一只松雞。令人稱奇的是，這只松雞根本不怕人，逐漸與作者一家成了好朋友。周圍的人們，包括獵人們，都很喜歡她。 1．D　根據下文“In fact，they're hard to spot”可知，這種松雞平時很難看到，與人主動接觸更是罕見。 2．B　上下文之間是因果關系，所以用because連接。因為松雞聽到有人靠近就會飛走，所以人們很難看到它們。 3．A　根據倒數第二段第一句的“As spring went and summer came”可知，這只松雞是在春天進入我們生活中的。 4．C　作者的丈夫正在地里干活，這時他注意到一只松雞在地邊走來走去?！皀otice＋sb./sth.＋doing”表示“注意到某人或某物正在做某事”。 5．D　上文提到，松雞通常聽到有人靠近就會飛走，但令人驚訝的是，這只松雞一點兒也不怕人。naturally“自然地”；certainly“當然；的確”；normally “正常地”；surprisingly“令人驚訝地”。 6．B　根據第四段第一句中的“Mildred came within a．..watch”可知，這只松雞似乎對作者的丈夫干的工作很好奇。be curious about“對……感到好奇”。 7．C　這只松雞很愿意與人接觸，因此看起來很友好。根據倒數第二段最后一句也能得出答案。其他形容詞不符合語境。shy“害羞的”；awkward “尷尬的”；elegant“優(yōu)雅的”。 8．C　作者一家人越來越喜歡這只松雞，并且給她取了一個名字。grow/be fond of “喜愛”。 9．D　根據語境可知，作者的丈夫假裝沒有看到這只松雞，繼續(xù)在地里干活，想看看接下來這只松雞會做什么。 10．A　根據下文描述的松雞的動作可知，這只松雞很不喜歡被別人忽視，于是主動上前進攻作者的丈夫。 11．B　松雞跑上前，用嘴啄湯姆的手，然后向后退，想看看湯姆會怎么做。back off“后退”。 12．A　上文描述的松雞的行為就好像是與湯姆做的一種游戲。后來，松雞厭倦了這種游戲，然后走開了。 13．B　根據下文內容可知，這只松雞出來的次數越來越頻繁，與湯姆的關系越來越親近。 14．A　事情發(fā)展的結果越來越有趣，最后，這只松雞居然跳到湯姆的腿上玩耍。 15．C　作者把松雞跳到丈夫腿上玩耍的鏡頭拍攝下來，于是有了一張合影。 16．A　很快，這只松雞不但感到與作者一家人相處很輕松，而且與任何從她旁邊經過的人都相處得很自在。 17．B　狩獵季節(jié)來到了，作者一家在自家車道的盡頭豎了一個牌子，請求獵人們不要射殺這只松雞。 18．C　因為上文提到hunting season opened，顯然此處是針對獵人們豎立的牌子。 19．D　根據上下文內容可知，作者的父親也警告人們不要射殺這只松雞。 20．A　事實上，作者一家的擔心是多余的，獵人們經常會停下來和這只松雞一起拍照，因為他們從來沒有看到像這只松雞一樣有趣的動物。 Cloze 4 (xx·天津卷) One night, when I was eight, my mother gently asked me a question I would never forget. “Sweetie, my pany wants to __1__ me but needs me to work in Brazil. This is like your teacher telling you that you've done __2__ and allowing you to skip a grade(跳級)，but you'll have to __3__ your friends. Would you say yes to your teacher？”She gave me a hug and asked me to think about it. I was puzzled. The question kept me __4__ for the rest of the night. I had said “yes” but for the first time, I realized the __5__ decisions adults had to make. For almost four years, my mother would call us from Brazil every day. Every evening I'd __6__ wait for the phone to ring and then tell her every detail of my day. A phone call, however, could never replace her __7__ and it was difficult not to feel lonely at times. During my fourth-grade Christmas break, we flew to Rio to visit her. Looking at her large __8__ apartment, I became __9__ how lonely my mother must have been in Brazil herself. It was then __10__ I started to appreciate the tough choices she had to make on __11__ family and work. __12__ difficult decisions, she used to tell me, you wouldn't know whether you made the right choice, but you could always make the best out of the situation, with passion and a __13__ attitude. Back home, I __14__ myself that what my mother could do, I could, too. If she __15__ to live in Rio all by herself, I, too, could learn to be __16__. I learnt how to take care of myself and set high but achievable __17__. My mother is now back with us. But I will never forget what the __18__ has really taught me. Sacrifices __19__ in the end. The separation between us has proved to be a __20__ for me. 1．A.attract B．promote C．surprise D．praise 2．A.little B．much C．well D．wrong 3．A.leave B．refuse C．contact D．forgive 4．A.explaining B．sleeping C．wondering D．regretting 5．A.poor B．timely C．final D．tough 6．A.eagerly B．politely C．nervously D．curiously 7．A.patience B．presence C．intelligence D．influence 8．Afortable B．expensive C．empty D．modern 9．A.interested in B．aware of C．doubtful about D．satisfied with 10．A.when B．where C．which D．that 11．A.abandoning B．balancing C．paring D．mixing 12．A.Depending on B．Supplied with C．Faced with D．Insisting on 13．A.different B．friendly C．positive D．general 14．A.criticized B．informed C．warned D．reminded 15．A.managed B．offered C．attempted D．expected 16．A.grateful B．energetic C．independent D．practical 17．A.examples B．limits C．rules D．goals 18．A.question B．experience C．history D．occasion 19．A.pay off B．e back C．run out D．turn up 20．A.blessing B．gathering C．failure D．pleasure 答案與解析 母愛無言，媽媽為家庭所做的努力和犧牲讓作者體會頗深，使作者學會了獨立和設定有一定高度但可達到的目標。 1.B　下文提到“就像你老師說你做得好能跳級一樣”可推斷，此處指媽媽的公司想提拔媽媽，故選B項。attract “吸引”；promote“提升，提拔”；surprise“吃驚”；praise“表揚”。 2．C　能跳級說明學習很好，故選C項。 3．A　既然要跳級，當然要離開自己的朋友，故選A項。leave“離開”；refuse“拒絕”；contact“聯系”；forgive“原諒”。 4．C　整個晚上的其他時間“我”都在想這個問題。explain“解釋”；sleep“睡覺”；wonder“想知道，琢磨”；regret“后悔，遺憾”。 5．D　“我”首次意識到大人們要做艱難的選擇。poor“貧窮的”；timely“及時的”；final“最終的”；tough“困難的，艱難的”。 6．A　前文提到媽媽每天都會給“我”打電話，下文提到“我”告訴她生活中的點滴，故此處表示每天傍晚“我”都會急切地等在電話前。eagerly“急切地”；politely“有禮貌地”；nervously“緊張地”；curiously“好奇地”。 7．B　后文提到作者放假去看望媽媽可知，此處表示的是即使媽媽每天打電話也不能代替她在身邊，故選B項。patience “耐心”；presence“在場”；intelligence“智力”；influence“影響”。 8．C　根據下文“how lonely my mother”可知媽媽很孤獨，所以她住的公寓應該也是空蕩蕩的。fortable“舒服的”；expensive“昂貴的”；empty“空的”；modern “現代的”。 9．B　看到媽媽空蕩蕩的公寓“我”意識到媽媽一個人在巴西是多么孤獨。bee interested in“對……感興趣”；bee aware of“意識到”；bee doubtful about“對……懷疑”；bee satisfied with“對……滿意”。 10．D　就是在那時“我”開始欽佩媽媽所做出的艱難的選擇。It was...that...構成強調句型。 11．B　媽媽要在工作和家庭之間保持平衡。abandon “放棄”； balance“平衡”；pare“比較”；mix“混合”。 12．C　媽媽告訴“我”在面臨這些艱難選擇時，你不知道你所做的決定是否正確。depend on“取決于；依賴”；supply with“提供”；be faced with“面臨，面對”；insist on“堅持”。 13．C　根據passion可知媽媽告訴作者要充分利用所處的境地，要有熱情和積極的態(tài)度。different“不同的”；friendly“友好的”；positive“積極的”；general“一般的”。 14．D　前文提到“我”意積到媽媽所做的一切有多么困難，回來后“我”不斷提醒自己媽媽能做的“我”也能做到，故選D項。criticize“批評”；inform“告訴，通知”；warn“警告”；remind “提醒”。 15．A　如果媽媽能獨自在里約熱內盧生活，“我”也能獨立。manage to do“成功做某事”；offer to do“主動做某事”；attempt to do“試圖做某事”；expect to do“希望做某事”。 16．C　根據take care of myself(照顧“我”自己)可知此處表示“我”也能學會獨立。grateful“感激的”；energetic“精力充沛的”；independent“獨立的”；practical“實際的”。 17．D　此處表示作者會為自己設定有一定高度但能達到的目標。example“例子”；limit“限制”；rule“規(guī)則”；goal“目標”。 18．B　“我”永遠也不會忘記那次經歷所教會“我”的。question “問題”；experience “經歷”；history “歷史”；occasion “場合”。 19．A　犧牲最終得到了回報。pay off“取得好的結果，得到回報”；e back“回來”；run out“用完”；turn up“出現，調大”。 20．A　“我”與媽媽的分離結果成為了對“我”有益的事情。blessling“祝福，好事，有益之事”；gathering “聚集，聚會”；failure “失敗”；pleasure “快樂”。 Cloze 5 (xx·湖北卷) When our restaurant business failed, we headed north in a camping truck to Texas, hoping to have a “fresh start”． At the __1__ of Palo Duro Canyon (峽谷) State Park, I __2__ a job advertisement hiring park hosts. The position offered a __3__， permanent campsite in the park and __4__， the hosts served as a link between the park's guests and the rangers (護林人). It was the perfect solution: a rent-free place to reorganize our lives. We entered the park and I made an __5__ for the following day. The park was __6__， so it took us some time to find an available site. That evening, as we finished our dinner, my wife saw two large skunks (臭鼬) walking toward our table. We __7__ climbed onto the table and, for the next four hours, waited for them to __8__ our camp. Having survived that night, we were __9__ that everything else would be all right. The next day we met with the people who ran the park. They explained our __10__ and gave us a beautiful campsite. That evening, __11__， we learned about the canyon __12__. They were strong and cold, rocking our little camping truck violently, and we lay __13__ in the dark until the winds died away. __14__ the weeks that followed, we learned to survive in our truck and __15__ the little money my wife __16__ by substitute teaching. Building a successful business and then losing it had left very little time for building a successful __17__. For a time after our business __18__ I thought I might lose my family as well. Living in the tiny __19__ with no television, we sat close together reading and talking. One evening, standing under a jeweled sky, I found myself __20__ for all the hardships.
