Spot聽講故事，故選A。3.D 【解析】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段第一句話中的“ to bring a family friendly night of edy”可知應(yīng)選D。4.B 【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段第二句話Wellness Wednesday weles all ages and skill levels.可知A項錯誤；根據(jù)第三段第一句話和最后一句話可知Atlantic Station確定了人們娛樂的日期，故B項正確；根據(jù)最后一段可知Movies in Central Park未提到買票，故C項錯誤；根據(jù)最后一段第二句話中的“All outdoor screenings are weather permitting”可知D項錯誤。故選B。二、單句語法填空1They are likely _ (fire) by the pany just because of their fault.答案：to be firedSb. be likely to do sth. “某人可能做某事”。主語they與fire之間為被動關(guān)系，故應(yīng)填不定式的被動形式。2The majority of the interviewees _ (prefer) watching TV at home to going to the cinema.答案：preferthe majority of . 作主語時，謂語動詞的數(shù)與of后的名詞保持一致。由interviewees可知謂語動詞應(yīng)用復數(shù)形式。3It suddenly occurred _ him that he should adopt the homeless child.答案：toIt (suddenly) occurred/occurs to sb. that . “某人突然想起某事”。4Whoever breaks the school rules will surely receive _ (punish)答案：punishment句中動詞receive后缺賓語，故應(yīng)填名詞punishment作賓語。5We should not have _ (race) discrimination.答案：racial句中缺少一形容詞來修飾名詞discrimination, 故填racial “種族的”。6She became the first black woman _ (elect) to the Senate.答案：to be elected當名詞或代詞前有序數(shù)詞或最高級修飾時，則常用動詞不定式來充當其后置定語，且elect與black woman之間為被動關(guān)系，故填to be elected。7He couldnt express himself correctly _ means of words.答案：byby means of . “借助于；用；通過方法”。8She _ (slip) out of the house before the others were awake.答案：slipped句意：她趁別人還沒醒，溜出了房子。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知該空為句子的謂語動詞，由從句中動詞時態(tài)were可知，應(yīng)用一般過去時。9_ (hire) a car, you must produce a passport and a current driving license.答案：To hire句意：若想租車，你需要出示護照及當前駕照。此處用動詞不定式作目的狀語。10By the time she knew the news, John _ (fly) to America.答案：had flown由By the time引導的從句的時態(tài)為一般過去時可知，主句應(yīng)用過去完成時，故應(yīng)填had flown。三、完形填空。I always had a dream.In it，I was a little girl again，rushing about，trying to get _1_ for school.Deep inside I knew _2_ it came from.It was some unfinished _3_ in my life.As a kid I loved school.Most of all I _4_ to receive my diploma.That seemed more _5_ even than getting married.But at 15，I had to _6_ because my parents couldnt afford my _7_.Pretty soon I married and had three children.I thought，“There goes my diploma.”_8_，I wanted my children to be educated.But Linda，the youngest，had a serious heart disease，which made it impossible for her to _9_ in a normal classroom.One day，I saw an ad for evening courses.“Thats the _10_.Linda always feels better in the evening，so Ill just _11_ her up for night school.”Linda was busy filling forms when the school _12_ said，“Mrs Schantz，why dont you e back to school？”I laughed，“Theres no _13_！Im 55！”But he _14_ me and I attended class with Linda.Surprisingly，both Linda and I felt great there and my _15_ steadily improved.It was exciting to go to school again，but it was no _16_.Sitting in a class full of kids was _17_，even if they were respectful.Whenever I was down，Linda encouraged me, “Mom，you cant _18_ now！” Together we made it _19_.Finally，I got my diploma with Linda and realized my _20_ of years.1A.started BconcernedCfinished Dprepared2A.when BwhereChow

in order to obtain gainful employment，which meant he wouldnt be able to win a medal for our country.Therefore，he made a vow that his unborn son would realize his unfinished dream. _1_ He was about to give up hope when one day，my younger sister Babita and I beat up two boys accidentally in response to critical ments.My dad found our potential to bee wrestlers and began coaching us. _2_ We were required to do physical training early in the morning and have short haircuts to avoid lice._3_ We plained about him all the time.Gradually, I realized that he wanted us to have a good future and not grow up to be ordinary housewives.Motivated，we willingly participated in his coaching.With great efforts，he made us petitive wrestlers and I won junior and senior championships，providing me with a chance to gain training in the National Sports Academy，where pride and agony fulfilled my mind._4_ As a result，I found myself losing every match at the international level.After that，I turned to him for help.Then he coached me patiently.Despite difficulty，I finally became the first Indian female wrestler to qualify for the Olympics，inspiring dozens of Indian women to take to wrestling.Even now，Papas words are still in my mind“Geeta，think about all the girls who are thought to be inferior to boys，girls who are forced to do chores，girls who are married and have children.Not only will you pete with other countries，but also with those who look down upon women！”I will never forget about Fathers instruction._5_ ABut his methods were cruel.BI almost abandoned what Papa had taught me.CDisappointingly，my mother gave birth to all girls.DMy sister and I tried to escape.EI will always owe all success to him.FAt first，my sister and I did not understand our father.GHowever，my mother didnt agree with him.【解題導語】“我”的爸爸曾經(jīng)是業(yè)余的摔跤運動員和全國冠軍，但被迫放棄了摔跤，他把所有的希望寄托在未出生的兒子身上，但是“我”的媽媽生的都是女孩。一天爸爸發(fā)現(xiàn)了“我”和妹妹身上的摔跤天賦，并開始對我們進行嚴格訓練，最終“我”成為印度第一位取得參加奧運會資格的女子摔跤運動員。1C根據(jù)空處前一句“Therefore，he made a vow that his unborn son would realize his unfinished dream”可知，他要讓他未出生的兒子實現(xiàn)他未完成的夢；結(jié)合第二段第一句“He was about to give up hope when one day.ments”可知，他幾乎放棄了希望；據(jù)此可以判斷，“我”的媽媽生的都是女孩，所以父親很失望，故C項符合語境。2A根據(jù)空處后一句“We were required to do physical training early in the morning and have short haircuts to avoid lice”可知，我們在清晨便要參加訓練，必須剪成短發(fā)；據(jù)此可以判斷，父親的訓練方法很殘酷，故A項符合語境。3F本段講述了我們對于爸爸殘酷的訓練方式從不情愿到接受的心態(tài)的變化；根據(jù)空處后一句“We plained about him all the time”可知，我們開始對父親是抱怨、不理解的。故選F項。4B根據(jù)空處后一句“As a result, I found myself losing every match at the international level”和下文中的“After that, I turned to him for help”可知，“我”在國際水平的比賽中總是失敗，而上文中講的卻是“我”不斷勝利，拿到冠軍；由此可知“我”摒棄了爸爸教給“我”的方法，結(jié)果在每一場國際水平的比賽中“我”都輸了，故選B項。5E本段敘述了爸爸的話，結(jié)合空處前一句“I will never forget about Fathers instruction”可知，“我”不會忘記爸爸的教導，并從全文來看，“我”的成功與爸爸是分不開的。故選E項。
