11、of the questions that is always asked of me is (1) I became an animal collector in the first (2). The answer is that I have always been interested in animals and zoos. According to my parents, the first word I was able to say with any (3) was not the conventional “mamma” or “daddy”, (4) the word “zo

12、o”, which I would (5) over and over again with a shrill (6) until someone, in groups to (7) me up, would take me to the zoo. When I (8) a little older, we lived in Greece and I had a great (9) of pets, ranging from owls to seahorses, and I spent all my spare time (10) the countryside in search of fr

(12) on I went for a year to the City Zoo, as a student (13) , to get experience of the large animals, such as lions, bears, bison and ostriches, (14) were not easy to keep at home.

Trip第一篇解析：1.【答案】A 根据下一句及随后的内容，作者讲的是怎样成为动物爱好者的(从小就喜欢动物)，应当选择A.how。2.【答案】C in the first place是固定短语,意思是“首先”。此句意思是：别人经常问到的问题之一，是当初我是如何爱上动物的。3.【答案】A 这句话的意思是：作者在呀呀学语之时,最早发清楚

18、的音是“zoo”(动物园),而不是“妈妈”,“爸爸”,因此,应选clarity“清晰”。填入其他选项emotion (感情),sentiment(多愁善感),affection(友爱)不合逻辑。4.【答案】B but在此处连接另一个句子(it was the word“zoo”,“it was”被省略)，表示转折，意为“而是”，Except, except for, but for的用法接近，表示“除了”。5.【答案】D 根据后面的over and over again,应选“repeat”6.【答案】C 小孩想去动物园,便不停地发出尖叫声,故选“voice”。A shrill voice与s

19、cream的意思接近。volume(音量)；noise(噪音)；pitch(音调)均不合要求。7.【答案】B shut sb.up是指让某人住口，为了让孩子停止尖叫，只好带他去动物园。8.【答案】A 根据后面主句的时态，此处只能用一般过去时。9.【答案】C a great many后直接跟可数名词的复数形式；a great / large amount of后跟不可数名词；只有a great /large number of后可以跟可数名词的复数形式。10.【答案】D living后必须接介词in，意为“居住”；cultivating耕种；reclaiming开垦；只有exploring有探察

20、的意思。11.【答案】C add to相当于increase，增加。其余选项后面都不接to。12.【答案】A later on为固定短语，“后来”。13.【答案】D attendant仆人；keeper可理解为“饲养员”，但是a student- keeper容易被误解为“收留学生的人”；aide有“助手”之义。作者一边上学，一边在动物园里打工，只能当助手。14.【答案】D which在此引导定语从句，修饰前面列出的动物。15.【答案】D 因为钱是在动物园打工挣的，选successfully更能体现其含义。16.【答案】D finance my first trip意为“支付我的旅行费用”；p

21、ay后应接介词for；其他选项的意思相差甚远。17.【答案】B 此句为现在完成进行时态,选regularly比较贴切。18.【答案】D 此句是由though引导的让步状语从句，应与主句意思相对立。选项中，sorrows和disappointments与主句的appeal to相对立，但sorrows的分量太重。19.【答案】C appeal to为成语，意思是“吸引”。20.【答案】B excursion短途旅行；journey(从一地到另一地的)长距离，具体的旅途；travel旅行，旅游，海外旅行；trip旅行，远足。 Part III Reading Comprehension 30%Di
