Ⅳ.阅读理解
Years ago，when I started looking for my first job，wise advisers urged，“Barbara，be enthusiastic！Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience.”
How right they were！Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure，extra work into opportunity and strangers into friends.
“Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm，” wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson.It is the paste that helps you hang in there when the going gets tough.It is the inner voice that whispers，“I can do it！” when others shout，“No，you can’t.”
It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock，a geneticist (遗传学家) who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine，to be generally accepted.Yet she didn’t let_up on her experiments.Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping.
Author and poet Samuel Ullman once wrote，“Years wrinkle the skin，but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.”
Enthusiastic people also love what they do，regardless of money or title or power.If we connot do what we love as a fulltime career，we can treat it as a part－time interest，like the head of state who paints，the nun (修女) who runs marathons，and the official who handcrafts (手工制作) furniture.
We can’t afford to waste tears on “might－have－beens”．We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after “what－can－be”．
We need to live each moment wholeheartedly，with all our senses—finding pleasure in the fragrance of a back－yard garden，the crayoned (蜡笔的) picture of a six－year－old，the enchanging，beauty of a rainbow.It is such enthusiastic love of life that puts a sparkle in our eyes，a lift in our steps and smoothes the wrinkles from our souls.
41．What can be the best title of this passage?
A．Find pleasure in what you are doing
B．Wake up your life
C．To give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul
D．No pains，no gains
42．What conclusion does the writer draw through the experience of finding a job?
A．Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience.
B．Years wrinkle the skin，but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
C．We can’t afford to waste tears on “might－have－beens”．
D．Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure，extra work into opportunity and strangers into friends.
43．Which of the following statements is WRONG according to the passage?
A．No one can achieve great success without enthusiasm.
B．Enthusiasm will take a person further than any amount of his experience.
C．We should make great efforts to do the thing that can be done instead of regretting for the past.
D．Barbara McClintock was generally accepted many years before she won the Nobel Prize.
44．Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “let up”？
A．continue
B．make less effort
C．make great effort
D．stop
45．We can learn from the last paragraph that it is________that makes our life meaningful.
A．love of gardening
B．love of drawing pictures with the crayon of a six－year－old child
C．love of life
D．love of beautiful rainbow
课时作业答案
Ⅰ.单项填空
1．C suggest作“建议”解，后面的宾语从句中的谓语动词用“should＋动词原形”，should可以省略；be rich in富含……。
2．A determined是形容词，“determined...mistakes”在句中作伴随状语。be determined never/not to do决心不……，表示心理状态。
3．D make up sth.编造。look sth.up查阅，查检；take up sth.开始做，开始从事；pick up sth.捡起，举起，学会。
4．A 句意为：“那个躺(lying)在那里的男孩跟我们撒谎(lied)，说他的公鸡下了个蛋(laid)。”
5．C 句意为：“那一大声吓住了他，他脸上露出害怕的表情。”“他”“感到害怕”，因此，他的表情是“害怕的，感到恐惧的”(frightened)，而不是“令人恐惧的”(frightening)或“可怕的”(frightful)。
6．D
7．C 后半句句意为：我们必须在瓶子中的水用完之前找到一个水池。run out of用光，属及物动词词组，后面要跟宾语；run away逃跑；run out用光，属不及物动词词组，其主语常为物，其后不跟宾语，符合题意，run off逃跑；逃走。
8．B even if/though即使；as if好像；if only但愿。句意为：尽管他们第一次见面，但是他们谈起来像好朋友似的。所以B项为正确答案。
9．A energy能源；source来源；power权力，能力；force力量。句意为：许多国家正在增加对天然气、风及其他形式的能源的利用。因此，A项为正确答案。
10．B prevent防止；hide隐藏；defend防卫；防御；protect保护。句意为：你对父母隐藏了事实是不诚实的表现。只有B项符合题意。
11．C 本题考查pretend的用法，其后一般跟不定式。句意为：当老师进来的时候，所有的学生都假装在做作业。pretend to be doing为假装正在干某事，符合句意。所以C项为正确答案。
12．A set off the alarm启动了警报器。set off出发，引爆，开动，启动；set out出发，开始着手；give away泄露，捐献；give off放出(光、烟、气味等)。
13．D 本题考查分词结构。由句中内容可看出：我们本来要去参观油画展，但被沙尘暴耽搁了，不得不推迟到明天。由此说明，该油画展现阶段正在被举办，所以应选现在分词的被动形式作定语。
14．A 句意为：尝起来如此可口，这个市场的这种食物很快就卖光了。taste此处为系动词，系动词无被动语态形式，从而排除B、C、D三项。Tasting so delicious此处为v.－ing形式作原因状语。
15．B 本题考查非谓语动词。从句意上看，他买过许多彩票，没中过一次奖，有出乎意料的意思，所以填不定式结构用做结果状语，winning表自然结果，与句意不符。句中为逗号，所以后面不能填谓语动词形式即C、D两项。
Ⅱ.句子翻译
16．To our astonishment，the president was murdered.
17．The old woman died of grief soon after her husband’s death.
18．Although Albert Einstein was a world－famous scientist，yet he lived a simple life.
19．Susan had run away from home several times in her teens.
20．这篇文章生动地描述了乡村生活。
Ⅲ.完形填空
【语篇解读】 这是一篇记叙文。作者进入Berkeley大学学习的时候，文学课的教授一次次把他的考试成绩评为C＋，这使他觉得自己不可能拿到奖学金了。他沮丧的同时放松了学业，期末考试前还去看电影。但期末考试时，教授给他的分数是全班唯一的一个A＋。从此他总记得教授的教诲：你必须自己设立一个优秀的标准。
21．A take修、攻读。作者相信他能选择一些较难的学科并且真正学到东西。C项意为“覆盖；采访；走过……距离”，干扰性最大。
22．B present提出；表达。作者对教授课上提出的观点很感兴趣。sought为seek的过去式，意为“寻找；寻求”；exchange交换，交流；obtain获得，均不符合语意。
23．A shocked吃惊的。根据上文作者刚入学时就充满信心并且自己以前一直考试得A，所以当他发现第一次考试得了个C＋时感到非常吃惊。worried担心的；scared害怕的；anxious忧虑的，焦急的。均不符合语境。
24．C for在此意为“因为”。for为并列连词，作者对考试得C＋感到很吃惊，因为英语是他(学得)最好的学科。
25．D unmoved无动于衷的。作者去找教授理论，教授听后却无动于衷。本题重点理解remain的用法，remain为系动词，与unmoved构成系表结构。情感上的变化一般不用unchanged；B、C选项不符合语境。
26．B mean意味着；产生……结果。作者决定更加努力学习，虽然他不知道这意味着什么。reflect反映；improve改进、提高；affect影响，根据语境均不恰当。
27．B reason with与……评理/讲道理。quarrel争吵；bargain讲价；chat聊天，均不符合语境。
28．B change one’s mind改变主意、想法。作者找教授理论，教授耐心听但没有改变主意。attitude态度，它是最大干扰项，根据上文作者第一次找教授谈话，教授无动于衷，并没表现出对此事的态度，故排除A项。plan计划；view观点，均不符合语境。
29．C chance机会。期末考试之前又一次测试，作者认为这是又一次提高分数的机会。step脚步，步骤；choice选择；measure测量，标准，均不符合语境。
30．D learn认识到；意识到。作者第一次认识到thorough(透彻的)这一词的真正含义。memorize记住；consider考虑；accept接受，均不符合语境。
31．C effort努力。上文提到作者加倍努力学习，但他的努力没有带来任何好的结果。ambition抱负，雄心；confidence信心；method方法。
32．B went进展。作者努力学习但一切进展得像以前一样。
33．A grade分数。无论作者得多少分，都不会抹去他得到的3个C＋的阴影。answer答案、回答；lesson课；comment评论，均不符合语境。
34．A scholarship奖学金。考查语境用词。作者入学之初就希望获得奖学金，但这时他几乎想与奖学金说再见了。course课程；degree学位；subject科目，根据语境，故选A。
35．C 考查语境中动词的使用。help oneself
to sth.为自己用/取某物；treat oneself to sth.款待自己(做)某事；relax oneself放松自己。根据句意，故选C。
36．A 考查名词在语境中的辨析。fun娱乐；luck运气；problems问题；tricks计谋、戏法。作者几经努力都没取得理想的分数，因此几乎失去信心。第二天决定怀着愉快的心情参加考试。根据语境，故选A。
37．D 考查动词后跟不定式在语境中的辨析。happen to do碰巧做；prove to be＋n./adj.证明做；pretend to do假装做；seem to do似乎做。根据句意，故选D。
38．C 考查动词在语境中的辨析。句意为：如果我当时给你你所期待的A，你就不会(向以前)一样努力学习了。value重视、珍视，不符合语境。
39．D 考查动词辨析。句意为：我盯着他，意识到他的分析和策略是对的。
40．D 考查动词与副词的搭配。work sth.out计算出、处理；work sb.over拷问；work on sth.做某事；work sth.off尽力做某事。作者在最后一次考试之前已经做出了最大努力，这是他在此之前从没有做过的。
Ⅳ.阅读理解
【语篇解读】 作者在找工作时，有人劝导他“要有热情”。作者通过自身经历充分认识到热情在生活和工作中的重要性，生活是艰难的，成功是不容易的，但只要有热情，只要对生活充满爱，一切都会好的。
41．B 主旨大意题。本篇文章主要讲述了热情在生活和工作中的重要性，只要有热情，只要心中有爱，万事都能成功，因此B项“激起生活(的热情)”为最佳标题。
42．D 细节题。根据第二段“Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure，extra work into opportunity and strangers into friends”这是作者从寻找工作的经历中悟出来的人生真谛。
43．D 细节题。根据第四段“It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock...to be generally accepted”可知选D项。
44．B 猜测词义题。上文已经提到Barbara McClintock获得诺贝尔奖之前很多年都没能被人广泛接受。尽管如此，她并没有因此而少做实验，B项中make less effort与let up的意思最为靠近，且构成短语make effort on，因此尽管stop意思也很靠近，但不符合词语搭配。
45．C 推理判断题。根据最后一段的尾句“It is such enthusiastic love of life that puts a sparkle in our eyes，a lift in our steps and smoothes the wrinkles from our souls”可知作者认为是充满热情的这种爱才使得我们的生活变得有意义。
