语篇解读本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了“我”在旅馆里看到一只苍蝇不停地试图穿过玻璃飞出去,这无疑是在自杀。它完全可以从旁边开着的门飞走。“我”从这件事得到启发:人们在遇到困难的时候,不应冒昧地尝试,应该有所突破,才有机会获得成功。1.A.seeing B.crying out
C.watching D.listening to
解析 句意为:我听到了绝望的声音。listen to“听到”。A、B、C三项均没有“听到”的意思。
答案 D
2.A. struggle B.cry
C.yell D.test
解析 struggle意为“挣扎,斗争”;cry意为“哭,喊叫”;yell意为“叫喊”;test意为“测试”。由第二段第四句中“the struggle is part of trap”的提示可知,此处应选用struggle。
答案 A
3.A. bird B.fly
C.insect D.worm
解析 bird意为“鸟”;fly意为“苍蝇”;insect意为“昆虫”;worm意为“爬虫”。由第二段第五句中的“the fly to try hard enough to succeed in...”可知,B项正确。
答案 B
4.A. experience B.direction
C.force D.attempt
解析 experience意为“经验,经历”;direction意为“方向”;force意为“武力”;attempt意为“尝试”。根据上下文语境可知,苍蝇正在尝试穿过玻璃飞出去。
答案 D
5.A. Thus B.So
C.Although D.However
解析 thus意为“因而”;so意为“所以”;although意为“虽然”;however意为“然而”。句意为:虽然苍蝇不断地尝试穿过玻璃窗,然而并不奏效。前后两句是转折关系。
答案 D
6.A. unusual B.likely
C.impossible D.common
解析 unusual“不同寻常的”;likely“可能的”;impossible“不可能的”;common“寻常的”。由常识可知,苍蝇是不可能成功穿过玻璃飞出去的。
答案 C
7.A. digging B.breaking
C.pushing D.jumping
解析 dig“挖掘”;break“打破”;push“推”;jump“跳”。短语break through意为“突破,冲破”,符合语境。
答案 B
8.A. kill B.die
C.lie D.stick
解析 kill“杀死”;die“死”;lie“撒谎,躺”;stick“粘贴”。由常识判断,如果苍蝇不断地撞击玻璃,就会死在那里。
答案 B
9.A. away B.far
C.near D.distant
解析 away“距离……远”;far“远的”;near“近的”;distant“远的”。away用在名词后,表示距离某地有多远,符合语境。
答案 A
10.A. dreams B.thinks of
C.misses D.longs for
解析 dream“梦想”;think of“考虑”;miss“怀念,错过”;long for“渴望”。句意为:只需十秒钟的飞行,这只苍蝇就能飞到外面它所渴望的世界。
答案 D
11.A. done B.owned
C.wasted D.planned
解析 do“做,完成”;own“拥有”;waste“浪费”;plan“计划”。根据语境可知,它之前的努力都白费了,故C项符合语境。
答案 C
12.A. aim B.trap
C.net D.goal
解析 aim“目的,目标”;trap“陷阱”;net“网”;goal“目的”。由第二段第四句中的“the struggle is part of the trap”可知,trap符合语境,即自我设置的陷阱。
答案 B
13.A. easy B.necessary
C.hard D.obvious
解析 easy“轻松的,容易的”;necessary“必要的”;hard“艰难的”;obvious“明显的”。句意为:突破的可能性就在那里,是那么简单。
答案 A
14.A. attempt B.anything
C.struggle D.something
解析 something“某事,某物”,常用于肯定句;anything“任何事物”,常用于否定句和疑问句。在表示请求、建议或征求意见的疑问句中常用something。
答案 D
15.A. that B.what
C.which D.where
解析 that可引导定语从句,也可引导名词性从句;what引导名词性从句;which引导形容词性从句;where可引导定语从句和状语从句。从句中不缺任何成分,且句中先行词是idea,所以其后要用that来引导同位语从句,对idea进行补充说明。
答案 A
16.A. sense B.difference
C.effect D.effort
解析 sense“感觉,意识”,常和make构成短语,make sense意为“有意义”;difference“区别,不同”;effect“影响”;effort“努力”。句意为:毫无疑问,这种方法对这只苍蝇来说是有意义的。
答案 A
17.A. of B.from
C.off D.to
解析 在solution的后面常跟to表示的不定式,是固定搭配。意为“解析法”。
答案 D
18.A. advice B.support
C.hope D.power
解析 advice“建议”;support“支持,支撑”;hope“希望”;power“力量”。此处与最后一段中的“If you_______ _your hopes for a...”相照应,故用hope符合语境。
答案 C
19.A. risk B.get
C.make D.take
解析 risk“冒险,冒……的风险”;get“获得”;make“制作”;take“带走”。句意为:如果你冒险把你的希望放在比以往更艰难的突破上,你就可能有扼杀成功的机会。
答案 A
20.A. fail B.kill
C.achieve D.fulfill
解析 fail“失败”;kill“杀死”;achieve“获得,达到”;fulfill“执行,履行”由语境可知,此处应用kill。
答案 B
A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
It was Saturday. As always, it was a busy one, for “Six days shall you labor and do all your work” was taken seriously back then. Outside, Father and Mr. Patrick next door were busy in chopping firewood. Inside their own houses, Mother and Mrs. Patrick were engaged in spring cleaning.
Somehow the boys had slipped away to the back lot with their kites. Now, even at the risk of having Brother caught to beat carpets, they had sent him to the kitchen for more string(线). It seemed there was no limit to the heights to which kites would fly today.
My mother looked at the sitting room, its furniture disordered for a thorough sweeping. Again she cast a look toward the window. “Come on, girls! Let’s take string to the boys and watch them fly the kites a minute.”
On the way we met Mrs. Patrick, laughing guiltily as if she were doing something wrong, together with her girls.
There never was such a day for flying kites! We played all our fresh string into the boys’ kites and they went up higher and higher. We could hardly distinguish the orange-colored spots of the kites. Now and then we slowly pulled one kite back, watching it dancing up and down in the wind, and finally bringing it down to earth, just for the joy of sending it up again.
Even our fathers dropped their tools and joined us. Our mothers took their turn, laughing like schoolgirls. I think we were all beside ourselves. Parents forgot their duty and their dignity; children forgot their everyday fights and little jealousies. “Perhaps it’s like this in the kingdom of heaven,” I thought confusedly.
It was growing dark before we all walked sleepily back to the houses. I suppose we had some sort of supper. I suppose there must have been a surface tidying-up, for the house on Sunday looked clean and orderly enough. The strange thing was, we didn’t mention that day afterward. I felt a little embarrassed. Surely none of the others had been as excited as I. I locked the memory up in that deepest part of me where we keep“the things that cannot be and yet they are.”
The years went on, then one day I was hurrying about my kitchen in a city apartment, trying to get some work out of the way while my three-year-old insistently cried her desire to“go park, see duck.”
“I can’t go!” I said. “I have this and this to do, and when I’m through I’ll be too tired to walk that far.”
My mother, who was visiting us, looked up from the peas she was shelling. “It’s a wonderful day,” she offered, “really warm, yet there’s a fine breeze. Do you remember that day we flew kites?”
I stopped in my dash between stove and sink. The locked door flew open and with it a rush of memories. “Come on,” I told my little girl. “You’re right, it’s too good a day to miss.”
Another decade passed. We were in the aftermath(余波)of a great war. All evening we had been asking our returned soldier, the youngest Patrick Boy, about his experiences as a prisoner of war. He had talked freely, but now for a long time he had been silent. What was he thinking of—what dark and horrible things?
“Say!” A smile slipped out from his lips. “Do you remember—no, of course you wouldn’t. It probably didn’t make the impression on you as it did on me.”
I hardly dared speak. “Remember what?”
“I used to think of that day a lot in POW camp(战俘营), when things weren’t too good. Do you remember the day we flew the kites?”
1. Mrs. Patrick was laughing guiltily because she thought .
A. she was too old to fly kites
B. her husband would make fun of her
C. she should have been doing her housework then
D. her girls weren’t supposed to play the boys’ game
2. By“we were all beside ourselves”, the writer means that they all .
A. felt confusedB. went wild with joy C. looked on D. forgot their fights
3. What did the writer think after the kite-flying?
A. The boys must have had more fun than the girls.
B. They should have finished their work before playing.
C. Her parents should spend more time with them.
D. All the others must have forgotten that day.
4. Why did the writer finally agree to take her little girl for an outing?
A. She suddenly remembered her duty as a mother.
B. She was reminded of the day they flew kites.
C. She had finished her work in the kitchen.
D. She thought it was a great day to play outside.
5. The youngest Patrick Boy is mentioned to show that .
A. the writer was not alone in treasuring her fond memories
B. his experience in POW camp threw a shadow over his life
C. childhood friendship means so much to the writer
D. people like him really changed a lot after the war

Last Sunday I saw a worst storm in years. It came sudden and went on for over three hours. After lunch, I went into my room to have a rest. The air was hot, but all was quiet. Then a strong wind started to blow into my room. Pieces of paper on my desk flew high into the air and some flew out the open window. As I ran out to catch it, big drop of rain began to fall. When I come back into the house, it was raining more harder and harder. Then I heard a loud crashing sound from the back of the house. When I ran out to find out that had happened, a big tree had fallen down and broke the top of the backroom .
