People
23、settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River.”可知,人们选择在河边或港口定 居是因为交通方便,便于做生意。而纽约就在哈德森河口的一个大港口附近,故纽约 吸引早期移民的原因是它的地理位置。 2.B细节理解题。根据第二段中“Of the first 20,000 pe
24、ople who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich.”可知,在最初挖黄金的两万人中有 4000人变富有了,所以是五分之一的人变 富了。 3.B推理判断题。根据最后一段中“and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come.”可知,人们离开 道森市的主要原因是听说在阿拉斯加发现了新的黄金。由此可以推断出,这些人匆忙 离开这里是要去阿拉斯加碰碰运气,寻找发财的机会。 4.A主旨大意题。本文第一段引出话题
25、:道森市迅速发展起来,第二段介绍了道森这 个城市兴起的原因,第三段介绍了人们选择离开该城市的原因及现在的状况,所以全 文论述了道森市的兴衰史。故 A项(一个城市的兴衰起伏。)符合文章大意。 .【文章大意】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文,讲述了作者家养了 30多年的漂亮的绿植由 于根满盆而逐渐死亡,但是将它的一些枝干移到新的盆子里,这些枝干却很好地活了。 作者由此联想到我们的人生,也会经常遇到瓶颈。 1.B句意:它伴随我们度过了艰难的和开心的时光,度过了痛苦和欢乐。由下文 and 前后的 pain与 joy 是反义词可知,空格处单词应与 good 是反义词,故应用 hard(艰难 的)。peaceful
26、和平的,安静的;pleasant令人愉快的;busy繁忙的。 2.C句意:我从没有想过失去它。根据第三段中“Our once-beautiful plant died”可知, 作者的绿植最后死掉了。因此可推断出,作者从没想过有一天会失去(losing) 这棵植 物。control控制;buy买;sell卖掉。 3.D然而,两周前,我们发现(discovered) 叶子发生了一些变化,叶子开始失去颜色。 make制作;record记录,记载;collect收集。 4.B由前文中“Our family enjoyed a beautiful house plant for over thirty
27、years.”可知,作 者一家很喜欢这棵植物,因此在它出现问题时会仔细地(carefully) 给它浇水,照顾它。 disappointedly失望地;quickly快速地;happily 快乐地。 5.A根据空后“We finally picked a few almost dead leaves”可知,这棵植物没有恢复 (recovery) 的迹象。strength力量,强度;trouble麻烦;growth成长。 6.C所以“我们”决定把一些枝干(branches)移植到另外一个小盆中。root根;leaf叶 子;plant植物。故选 C。 7.A句意:让我们吃惊(amazed) 的是这
28、些被移植到新盆子里的枝干长得很强壮。 disappoint使失望;embarrass 使尴尬;bore使厌烦。 8.D句意:对我们来说,原因变得清晰(clear) 了它的树根很乱,完全绞在了一起。 happy高兴的;useful有用的;energetic精力充沛的。 9.B句意:那些寻求(looked for)个人成长和发展的人常常想做出能取得更大成就或 获得更多快乐的改变。由下句中“they outgrow their environment”可知,这些人是 经常寻求个人成长和发展的。depend on依靠;wait for等待;turn down 拒绝。 10.D句意参考上题。既然这些人寻
29、求个人成长和发展,就必然想做出改变(changes)。 suggestion建议;study 学业;explanation解释。 11.A句意:然而,他们经常发现自己的成长超出了他们的环境,于是想要离开(take off)。fall down 摔倒,跌倒;calm down平静下来;set up建立,建造。根据下句“Their views become larger and they need environment to live in.”可知,他们想要离开现在的 环境。 12.B句意:他们的视野变得更广阔,需要更大的(larger) 生存环境。由前半句“Their views become
30、 larger”可知,他们需要更大的生存环境,句中的两个 larger前后呼应。 warmer 更暖和的;safer更安全的;taller更高的。 13.D句意:他们需要给他们提供成长空间(room)的人。由常识可知,成长是需要空间 的,此空格与上句中的 environment相呼应。chance机会;promise承诺;time 时间。 14.A句意:如果他们得不到满足(satisfied),一些问题就肯定会出现。上句提到了他 们的需求,此处指如果需求得不到满足,就会有问题。accept接受;mention提到;protect 保护。 15.C句意:因此,如果你新发现的成长使得你摒弃旧的方法
31、,你也许需要意识(realize) 到你现在更加强大了。refuse拒绝;order命令;prove证明。 .【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文,介绍了青蛙是一种对人类有益的好动物,但是现 在青蛙越来越少了,这是因为人类把它们当成了美味佳肴,所以我们必须尽快采取措 施拯救青蛙。 1.happily考查副词。本空修饰现在分词 singing,故应用副词 happily。 2.insects考查名词复数。insect 是可数名词,空前没有冠词修饰,故用复数形式 insects。 3.as考查介词。be regarded as 意为“被认为是”,故本空应用介词 as。 4.are getting考查动词
32、时态。根据语境及 now 可知,本句应用现在进行时,表示“现在 这一阶段正在进行的动作”。 5.a考查冠词。dish为可数名词,此处表示“一道美味佳肴”,故本空应用不定冠词 a。 6.responsible考查形容词。be responsible for意为“对负责”,故本空应用形容 词 responsible。 7.eating考查现在分词。“whilepoison-killed insects.”为状语从句的省略句。eat 的逻辑主语是 frogs,frogs和动词 eat之间为逻辑上的主谓关系,故应用现在分词作状 语。while eating相当于“while frogs are eating”的省略形式。 8.to save考查动词不定式。根据句意可知,本空表示目的,故应使用动词不定式 to save。 9.who考查定语从句。本空引导定语从句,先行词是 those,指“那些人”,关系词在从 句中作主语、指人,故应使用关系代词 who。 10.will be punished考查动词时态及语态。根据 one day可知,本空应用一般将来时; 主语 all of us和动词 punish之间为被动关系,故本空应用一般将来时的被动语态。
