这是一个黑色幽默,饥寒交迫的老妇,万般无奈,只好求助于上帝,帮助她的不是上帝而是警察,可警察在人们心中的印象却是“凡被警察碰过的只有一半被留下”,可悲!
答案简析
C。被派去打仗了,要用被动语态。
A。于是,老人总为自己的衣、食而担心。C很具有迷惑性。但它的意思指“考虑”,没有A准确。
B。第二天,他被发现死在冰冷的湖里。
D。他的衣服被挂在树上。hang – hanged –hanged 此时的hang 作“绞死”讲,hang – hung –hung 意为“悬挂”。
A。儿子死了,丈夫没有了,此时她的心情唯有sad来描述。
B。从but可知政府没有帮助她。fail“没成功”。

them to take me as a pupil. We had
4
to all the schools near our home, but no one would take me.
5
, we went to a school about five kilometers
6
form home. The headmaster kept us waiting for at least
7
. I could hear boys playing on the playground outside.
When the headmaster's secretary (秘书) let us
8
his office, Mr. Andrews said,"
9
do you want to come here?" I had
10
of saying something about studying,
11
now I couldn't remember anything, only thought of the boys playing outside. "I don't know
12
in London," I said. "I'd like to play with

文章介绍了自己二十多年前,第一次遇到他的老校长的经历。应当说是一个很平凡的经历。但却深深地印在作者的脑海中,也许是因为它太平凡,也许是因为它是作者生活的转折点,也许……其实生活本来就是由无数个平凡所组成的。
答案简析
1. B。根据常识,应该是小孩随家人一起回到London。
2. D。上文提及到因为战争,所以没有足够的学校供孩子们。
3. C。无论是从意思上或语法上看,只有用ask,意为“请求他们把我收下”。let sb. do sth. , make sb. do sth.
没有 hope sb. to do sth.。
4. A。had been too“去过”,had gone to“已经去了”,这是初中部分很重要的两个词组,中国学生特别容易混淆。而这里的意思说“我们去过我家附近的所有的学校。”
5. A。in the end 最终,at first 起初,at once 立刻,by then到那时为止。根据意思当然选A。
6. B。five kilometers away from home 离家5公里处。这里很多学生会选far,事实上我们只能用副词away。
7. C。从at least可知不选A或B,但根据上下文可知也不可能选D,c 最恰如其分
8. D。这里强调“让我们走进他的办公室”。
9. C。根据常识可知。
10. B。由此可见作者知道校长大多要问这样的问题,也想出了一些回答方法。think of “想出”。
11. A。从上下文的意思看是转折关系。
12. A。此处只有用anyone,意为“谁也不认识”。
13. B。 A和C绝不能用,因为后面有名词boys, the other表示“其他所有的男孩”,故也不能选。
14. B。意为“还有空位子”。
15. D。among the happiest of my life 意为“是我一生中最快乐的时候的一部分”。其他介词都不对。

这篇文章讲的是关于大家都知道但都不知道该如何处理的一个问题——代沟。代沟时时处处都有,怎样对待它?作者给了我们一点较好的建议,相互理解,换位思考,相信这个世界一定会变得更美丽。
答案简析
A。很显然代沟已经是一个很严重的问题。
C。从下文可知这是报纸上的一篇报道。
D。这篇文章是关于代沟的问题,所以应该是孩子和父母吵架后自杀,而不是和其他人。
A。stay, work 不可能与time组成词组,have time不符合上下文的意思。因此用spend,意为把更多的时间花在工作上。
D。本句与下文的关系是因果关系。
C。本句意为“因此就没有许多时间和小孩呆在一起,这样就会产生代沟”(与文章所谈论的话题相符)。所以不可能选其他选项。
D。指父母与小孩双方都有这样的感觉。
B。没有共同的话题。其他选项虽无语法错误,但不符合文章的意思。
A。the same topics to talk about,这里动词不定式充当定语修,饰前面的名词,同时the same topics又是about的宾语。意为所谈论的话题。
B。当然应是多和小孩子一起。
C。这几个词组放在这儿都没有语法错误,父母一般说来都要和小孩相处(A)、照顾他们(B)、爱他们(D),但作者的意思是父母要理解小孩。
D。把自己的感觉告诉给父母。
B。从常识不难推断。意为“他们是爱你们的人”。
A。把你们的内心所想告诉他们。say在这里有语法错误,ask与answer意思不对。
A。这样你们才会更好地相互理解。这里强调“会,能”,故用can 。
