Ⅳ.阅读理解
Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together.Others say that the opposite is true:that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred.There is probably some truth in both arguments,but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood.Not only were there the incidents of tragedy involving murder of athletes,but the Games were also ruined by lesser incidents caused principally by minor national contests.
One country received its second-place medals with visible anger after the hockey final.There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match,with the losers objecting to the final decisions.They were convinced that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents’victory was unfair.Their manager was in a rage when he said,“This isn’t hockey.Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished.” The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension of the team for at least three years.
The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Russia after a disputable end to their contest.The game had ended in disorder.It was thought at first that the United States had won by a point,but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play.A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other,and another player popped it into the basket.It was the first time that the US had ever
lost an Olympic basketball match.An appeal jury (评审委员会)
debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that
the result would stand.The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals.
Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game.The suggestion
that athletes should compete as individuals or in non-national teams might be too much to hope for.But in present organization of Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism (爱国主义).
41.The author thinks that in recent years Olympic Games have________.
A.showed little international friendship
B.greatly encouraged international brotherhood
C.created goodwill between the nations
D.created only misunderstanding and hatred
42.What did the manager mean by saying “This isn’t hockey.Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished”?
A.This is not a standard hockey match.
B.The federation would not exist any longer after this match was over.
C.His team would not enter the game in three years.
D.The unfair decision ruined both hockey and the Federation.
43.The basketball match showed that________.
A.aggressive patriotism was displayed in the incident
B.the Russian team should not have taken advantage of the last three seconds
C.the appeal jury was too inefficient in making a decision
D.the American team should have taken the first place
44.The author gives two examples in the 2nd and the 3rd paragraphs in order to show that________.
A.contests often end in disorder
B.no contests are fair in Olympic Games
C.competition discourages international friendship
D.unfair decisions are common in sports
45.Which statement best summarizes this passage?
A.Athletes should compete as individuals.
B.The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.
C.Any team that has disrespectful behavior should be suspended.
D.Different teams often have disputes when fighting for the first place.
课时作业答案
Ⅰ.单项填空
1.D apologize to sb.for sth./doing sth.因某事向某人道歉。
2.C 代词it代替前面整句话的内容。由but可知前后是两个并列分句,故不能用which。
3.C 本题没有明确的时间状语,只能从对话中读出暗含的过去时态。从句意“噢,是你啊!我没有认出你来”。可以看出,没有认出是过去发生的事情,故用一般过去时。
4.A 句意为:涉及到私家车的普及有一个新问题——路况需要改进。involve sb./sth.牵扯某人/某物。involve与其逻辑主语a new problem之间是动宾的关系,因此应用其-ed形式。involved in the popularity of private cars作定语修饰a new problem,相当于定语从句that is involved...。
5.A occasion场合,根据句子结构,应是where引导的一定语从句修饰occasion。
6.C do sb.a favour固定短语,“帮某人一个忙”。
7.B lack confidence缺乏自信。
8.D 由第一句可知是对方向某人表示感谢,应用My pleasure 不用谢。
9.B disagree不及物动词,故排除代词what,由句意知,“这就是我不同意之处”,故用where。
10.B 及物动词do已有宾语more,故用疑问副词how表方式。
11.B A、C项都和to do连用,D项结构不正确。
12.A 本题考查常用搭配。feel nervous about/at意为“为某事而忐忑不安”。句意为:这残忍的丈夫根本不为妻子可怜的健康状况担忧。
13.B 宾语从句是一个感叹句,正常语序为:the doctor had great trouble treating the patient。
14.A when引导定语从句,修饰a time。
15.D cheer up在此处意为“振作起来”,用来鼓励对方;go ahead用吧;good luck祝你好运;no problem没问题。
Ⅱ.句子翻译
16.The girl is always showing off her beautiful clothes.
17.Now the host team took the lead in the football game.
18.Jack would make up an excuse when being late for school.
19.There’s no need to turn down the radio because I have been used to working with it on.
20.闭上眼睛,想像自己在森林里。
Ⅲ.完形填空
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是探戈舞的起源及其主要特点。
21.A 考查语境和动词。此处说的是探戈的起源,需用现在分词短语作状语。originate发源,开始,符合语境。suffer 遭受,经历;happen (偶然)发生;appear 出现,均不符合语境。
22.C 考查动词。introduce有“引入,引进”之意,符合句意“探戈是由西班牙殖民者引入到新大陆的”。take 拿(走);throw 扔;instruct
指导,都与句意不符合。
23.C 考查语境。night club的意思是“夜总会,酒吧”。此处意思是牧人们到夜总会,邀请当地的女孩子跳舞。从下文可知,不是开会,可以排除meetings;houses范围太大,不明确;store 仓库,店铺,也不是跳舞的地方,故D项排除。
24.B 考查语境。女士跳舞时把头后仰的原因,极有可能是牧人没“洗澡”,身上有难闻的气味。shower有“给(自己)洗淋浴”之意,符合句意。rain (雨)降下;rest 休息;smile 微笑,均不可能是原因所在。
25.B 考查动词。strike 打,撞,击;bend 使弯曲;try 试图,努力,都与文意不符。hold有“保持(支撑)住某物”之意,此处指保持头部向后,符合文意。
26.C 考查逻辑推理。女孩把手放在牧人的左臀部,应该是靠近“口袋”,寻找报酬。body指“身体”,范围较大;trousers 裤子,也不符合语境;也不可能直接靠近wallet“钱包”,所以应选pocket。
27.D 考查语境。前文已经提到这里很拥挤,所以地板应是小的,有许多桌子,人们在其间穿行。不可能宽敞,所以big错误;slippery 滑的,flat 平的,同样不符合语境。
28.A 考查动词。expand 膨胀,扩大;explode 爆炸;spread 蔓延,传播;distribute 分发,分配。spread与句意吻合。句意为:这种舞蹈20世纪在欧洲传播开来。
29.B 考查名词。这里是补充说明探戈的情况。dance 舞蹈,意义重复;play 剧本;game意思是“游戏,运动”,均不符合语境。hit作名词,有“成功而风行一时的事物”之意,符合句意。此处意为:Rudolph Valentino在1921年使探戈成为风行一时的舞蹈。
30.A 考查行文逻辑。respectable 体面的,受人尊敬的;enjoyable 令人愉快的;affordable 负担得起的;reasonable 合理的。句意为:随着时间的推移,这种舞蹈在阿根廷最终被认为是值得尊敬的、体面的。因此,只有respectable符合。
31.B 考查语境。本句介绍的是探戈的多种多样的形式。pace 步速;style 风格,类型;times 时期,次;country 国家。
32.B 考查逻辑关系。句意为:不管它的起源如何,探戈已经成了具有美国标准的舞蹈之一。regardless of 不管,不顾;in favor of 赞同;because of 因为;out of 由于,出于。
33.C 考查语境和名词。combination 联合体;method 方法;motivation 动机;reference 参考,提及。句意为:美国化的探戈融合了各个国家探戈的最佳部分。
34.A 考查上下文逻辑关系和名词。principle 原则,原理;object 物体,目标;purpose 目的,意图;restriction 限制,约束。句意为:对任何优秀的舞蹈来说有关的原则都是相同的。
35.D 考查语境和动词搭配。句意为:第二 ,它必须具有自己的特色,以便把它与其他舞蹈区别开来。set...apart(from)意思是“使……与众不同,使……分开”。take apart 把……拆开;put apart 留出;bring通常不和apart连用。显然D项正确。
36.C 考查并列关系。由空格后的“pleasing to do”可知应选comfortable,表示“舒适的”。manageable 能处理的,易管理的;practical 实际的,切实可行的;powerful 有影响力的,均不符合语境。
37.D 考查逻辑推理。这里是对探戈音乐的一个比喻,由下文可知,探戈音乐就像一个故事——有段落,有句子。comedy意思是“喜剧”,属于特定概念,与文意不符;book范围太大;notice指“通知,布告”,与语境不符,故选story。
38.A 考查语境。由下文的close可知,此处应是在句子的末尾(end),而不是beginning“开始”。sight 视觉;phrase的意思是“(音乐中的)乐句,乐节”,均不符合语境。
39.A 考查语境和名词。此处意为:探戈舞的表演者必须要培养一种与音乐、舞蹈和观众的紧密联系。再结合下一句中“this connection”可知,A项正确。feeling 感觉;desire 欲望;potential 潜质,潜力,均不符合语境。
40.D 考查语境。句意为:如果舞者能够感受到并把这种感受表达出来,观众才能体会到这种联系。musician 音乐家;composer 作曲家;director 导演;performer 表演者。显然只有performer符合要求。
Ⅳ.阅读理解
【语篇解读】 最近几年的国际体育比赛违背了体育运动的真正意义,变成了各国之间的厮杀,运动员为了给国家争夺荣誉不惜损坏形象甚至反目成仇。
41.A 作者态度题。根据文章第一段中的“but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood”可知答案。
42.D 句意猜测题。当时失败的一方无比愤怒,认为不公正的比赛损害了曲棍球运动和国际曲棍球联合会的名声,使真正意义上的曲棍球运动及国际曲棍球联合会不复存在。
43.A 推理判断题。文章没有剖析美国和俄罗斯在篮球比赛中究竟谁是谁非,作者只是表明过分的爱国心会导致不愉快的事件发生。
44.C 作者意图题。作者列举的两个事例意在表明第一段的观点“but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood”。其余选项过于绝对或者以偏概全。
45.B 主旨大意题。最后一段是作者的观点,根据本段最后一句可知作者认为奥运比赛的组织方式需要改进,以防过于狭隘的爱国心扭曲了奥运的真正意义。
