答案与解析
21. A
a variety of“各种各样的”;a kind/sort of“一种”;a type of“一种类型的”。next time意思是“下一次”。句意:我知道能找到各种各样的英语书的地方,因此下一次你给儿子找英语阅读材料时可以请教我。
22. D
series of前面和a连用,意思是“一连串的,一系列的”;all kinds后加of,意思是“各种各样的”;the number of意思是“……的数量”;a variety of意为“各种各样的”。
23. C
本题考查的是错误的短语搭配,只有C项符合。句意:她总是在怎样度假这个事情上与我意见不一致。
24. B
“与……相似”用similar to,排除A、C两项。have little similarity in“在……方面没有相似之处”。句意:虽然他来自一个和我相似的家庭,但我们的嗜好很少有相似之处。
25. C
be similar in sth.意思是“在某方面相似”,而后面的they both have…是一个句子,要用that来引导。句意:这两个地区有相似之处,那就是它们在这个季节都有很大的降水量。
26. D
分析前一句句意“你看到她时,请告诉她这个消息”,可知when引导一个时间状语从句,用一般现在时表将来;后一句是一个宾语从句,应该用一般将来时态,故选择D项。
27. A
make remarks“陈述;说”。句意:夫妻之间说这种绝情的话真是令人心痛。
28. C
in all“总共”;not at all“一点也不”;after all“毕竟,到底”;at all“竟然”。空格前后两句话含义为“不要想那次考试了”“已经过去好几天了”,有劝慰别人之意,故选C项。
29. D
above all“尤其是,首先,最重要的是”,常位于句首或句中;in all“总共”; at all“竟然”。根据句意选择D项,意思是“毕竟”。句意:“对不起,我没有做好工作。”“没有关系,毕竟你已经尽力了。”
30. C
above all“首先,最重要的是”。句意:我们毕业后将继续自学,但目前最重要的是学会在校如何学习。
31. D
first all中间加of意思是“首先”;in all“总共”;at all“竟然”。根据句意选择D项,意思是“毕竟,终究,到底”。句意:我认为我考试会不及格,但最后还是过关了。
32. B
根据have difficulty in doing…短语搭配中difficulty是不可数名词,可排除C、D两项;adjust to意思是“适应”,故选择B项。句意:退役军人难以适应平民的生活。
33. B
what great difficulty是先行词, I have是一个省略了that/which的定语从句。根据have difficulty doing sth.结构可知答案。句意:你绝不会想象到,我在找你家的时候遇到多大的困难。
34. D
A、B两项不合题意。C项中的that不能代替后面的that从句。能代替后面的that从句的代词只能是it,故选择D项。句意:外交部长说:“我们希望双方朝着和平的方向努力。”
35. D
根据语法结构排除A项;理解句意“早上打开”,可知半夜应该关闭。如果一直开通到半夜,应该用be on,而不应该用表示短暂动作的动词(B、C两项),故本题选择D项。句意:周末,他一早就把计算机打开,直到半夜才关。
36. B
to invite Professor Smith to speak at the meeting是动词thought的宾语,空格处的成分应该是代替后面不定式的词,四个选项中只有it可以代替不定式作形式宾语,故选择B项。句意:主席认为有必要邀请史密斯教授在会上讲话。
37. D
lie on意为“依赖”; lie in意为“在于”;lead to“导致,引起”。根据句意D项为最佳答案。句意:他的成功不在于他的聪明,是勤奋导致了进步。
38. D
分析句式结构,可知it is和后面的that组成强调句式。devote to“贡献”;stick to“坚持”;refer to“涉及”; lead to“导致”。根据句意,应该选择D项。句意:早上睡过头导致上班迟到了。
39. B
短语find sb. doing sth.的被动结构是sb. be found doing sth.。根据句意应该选择B项。句意:如果厨师被发现在厨房抽烟立刻会被解雇。
40. C
well修饰known,其比较等级是better,best。句意:谈到他写过的歌曲,我认为这首歌曲很可能是他最出名的歌曲。故选C。
41. B
当后面跟有“in,out of,with,along with,together with,including,but,except,like,as well as,no more than,no less than,in addition to,rather than+名词”时,谓语动词的单复数形式应与前面的主语保持一致。句意:电邮和电话在日常交流中正起着重要的作用。
42. B
both…and连接并列主语时,谓语动词用复数形式;not only…but also与either…or连接并列主语时,采用就近一致原则,本题的谓语动词应与her friends一致,应用are。这与本题的谓语动词is不符,所以排除A、C、D三项。句意:周兰和她的朋友,都对这本小说感兴趣。

【解题导语】 继母的出现改变了作者的一生,也让整个家庭旧貌换新颜。她的热情深深感染了作者,让作者领悟到了热情的神奇力量。
1.A.rushedB.sent
C.carried
D.introduced
解析:选D。根据作者的父亲所说的话可知他是在把作者“介绍”给作者的继母。
2.A.distinguished
B.favored
C.mistaken
D.rewarded
解析:选A。在父亲的眼中,作者不是一个好孩子,而以本地最坏的孩子“著称”。distinguished“著名的”。
3.A.sooner
B.later
C.longer
D.earlier
解析:选B。父亲认为作者是本地最坏的孩子,显然不会轻而易举地接受继母,不“迟于”明天早上就会向她扔石头。
4.A.dragged
B.shook
C.raised
D.bent
解析:选C。根据本段后半部分继母的话可知她不赞同作者父亲的观点,而是非常欣赏作者,认为作者只是没有把潜能发挥出来,因此表现出来的是爱意,所以是轻轻地“扶起”作者的头。A项表示“拉”;B项表示“摇动”;C项表示“扶起,抬起”;D项表示“倾斜”。
5.A.perfect
B.right
C.wrong
D.impolite
解析:选C。根据引号中的话可知她认为作者父亲的观点是“错误的”。
6.A.but
B.so
C.and
D.or
解析:选A。他根本不是最坏的孩子,而是还没有找到释放热情的途径的最聪明的孩子。本句是“not...but...”结构,表示“不是……而是……”。
7.A.agreement
B.friendship
C.gap
D.relationship
解析:选B。作者没有想到继母会如此欣赏自己,自然一开始就与她建立了“友谊”。两个人本来就是母子关系,所以D项不恰当。
8.A.opinion
B.image
C.expectation
D.mind
解析:选D。作者的家人和邻居已经让作者在脑海中形成了根深蒂固的观念,认为自己是一个坏男孩。
9.A.begged

D.invited
解析:选B。根据本句后半部分的内容可知她“说服”了作者的父亲去上牙医学校。
10.A.successful
B.meaningful
C.helpful
D.useful
解析:选A。她搬家的目的是想让作者父亲的事业更加“成功”。最后两项的意思基本相同,可排除。
11.A.treated
B.entertained
C.educated
D.respected
解析:选C。根据下一段开头部分提到的作者的年龄可推测她搬家也是为了让孩子更好地“受教育”。
12.A.camera
B.radio
C.bicycle
D.typewriter
解析:选D。她相信作者可以成为一名作家,结合选项,继母应该是给作者买了一台二手“打字机”。
13.A.considered
B.suspected
C.ignored
D.appreciated
解析:选D。她发现了作者的写作才能并加以鼓励,作者自然对此非常“感激”。
14.A.belief
B.request
C.criticism
D.description
解析:选A。作者接受了她的“信念”。此处与该段第一句话中的believed相呼应。
15.A.teaching
B.writing
C.studying
D.reading
解析:选B。上文叙述的是“写作”的事情,再根据空处前面的“the same kind of”可知选B项。
16.A.next
B.same
C.only
D.real
解析:选C。根据后面两句话的内容可知作者不是“唯一的”受益者。
17.A.cleverest
B.wealthiest
C.strongest
D.healthiest
解析:选B。上文提到继母说服了作者的父亲去上牙医学校,并举家搬迁以便让他的事业更加成功,由此可推断作者的父亲成为了城镇中最“富有的”人。

解析:选A。所有的这一切都是“热情”的力量!文章中多次出现的关键词enthusiasm也是答案提示。
19.A.deliberately

D.doubt
解析:选B。热情所释放出来的巨大能量是贫穷和暂时的失败所不能“匹敌”的。

If I could select a word that best describes the majority of American parents, that word would be guiltridden (内疚的).How sad it is to see parents become the willing victims of the “giveme game”, only to discover that, no matter what they do, it isn’t enough.In the end, they are looked down for their lack of firmness and blamed when their spoiled children get into trouble.With this in mind, I shall first answer this question: “What do parents owe their children?”And I shall start with what they don’t owe them.
Parents don’t owe their children every minute of their day and every ounce of their energy.They don’t owe roundtheclock car service, singing lessons, tennis lessons, an expensive car when they reach sixteen, or a trip to Europe when they graduate.
I take the firm position that parents do not owe their children a college education.If they can afford it, fine.But they need not feel guilty if they can’t.If the children really want to go, they’ll find a way.Here are plenty of loans and scholarships for the bright and eager who can’t afford to pay.
After children marry, their parents do not owe them a house or money for the furniture.They do not have an obligation to babysit their grandchildren when the parents were on vacation.If they want to do it, it must be considered a favour, not an obligation.
In my opinion, parents do not owe their children an inheritance, no matter how much money they have.One of the surest ways to produce a loafer is to let children know that their future is assured.
Do parents owe their children anything? Yes, they owe them a great deal.
One of their chief obligations is to give their children a sense of personal worth, for selfesteem is the basis of a good mental health.Parents owe their children firm guidance and consistent discipline.Parents owe their children privacy and respect for their personal belongings.
No child asks to be born.If you bring a life into the world, you owe the children something.And if you give him his due, he’ll have something of value to pass along to your grandchildren.
1.According to the author, ________.
A.parents ought to send children to college as a duty
B.parents needn’t feel guilty if they are unable to send their children to college
C.if they say “No”,parents will surely make their children angry
D.parents must support their children even after their marriage
解析:选B。 第三段谈到父母供孩子上大学的问题时认为,But they needn’t feel guilty if they can’t.,说明他们如果供不起孩子上大学,不应感到愧疚。
2.The underlined word “loafer” most probably refers to ________.
A.a poorly educated person
B.a well educated person
C.a hardworking person
D.a lazy person
解析:选D。培养懒汉最好的办法,就是让孩子们从小知道了他们的未来有保障。loafer意为: “懒汉”。
3.The writer of this passage mainly wants to tell us ________.
A.why children look down upon their parents
B.the difference between duties of the parents and the children
C.over devotion to the children results in trouble for the parents themselves
D.children should depend on no one but themselves
解析:选C。第一段说明了主题,即父母为孩子们做出了牺牲,而得到的回报却是陷入了不断的麻烦之中。
4.The author’s attitude towards the parents is ________.
A.angry
B.pitiful
C disappointed
D.satisfied
解析:选B。作者通过描述父母为其孩子做出的种种牺牲,表达了作者对父母怜悯、同情的态度。It happened to me recently that I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama’s Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of the current US President. The person I was talking to agreed with me that it was, in his words,“a wonderfully written book .”However, he then proceeded
to talk about Mr Obama in a way that suggested he had no idea of his background at all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.
And it seems that he is not the only one. Clearly two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven’t . In The World Book Day survey, Dreams From My Father is at number 9. The survey lists top ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading. As I’m not one to lie too often, I’ll admit here and now that I haven’t read the entire ten books. But I am pleased to say that I have read the book at number one, George Orwell’s 1984. I think it’s absolutely outstanding.
Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to impress someone they were speaking to . This could be difficult if the conversation became more in-depth !
The World Book Day survey also has some other interesting information in it. It shows that many people lie about having read classical works by Jane Austen, the Bronte sisters, Charles Dickens and so on. But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, they named JK Rowling, Jilly Cooper, and Stephen King (ah, the big sellers, in other words). Forty-one percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story.
So which books have you lied about reading—if any—and which is your favourite?
56.The main reason why people lie about reading is to
A.make fun of the listener
B.impress the listener
C.please the listener
D.interest the listener
57.The underlined word“proceeded”in the passage probably means“
”
A.wanted
B.happened
C.continued
D.stopped
58.What does The World Book Day survey show?
A.Nearly half of the people surveryed didn’t read through a whole classical book. B.People don’t like Dreams From My Father and George Orwell’s 1984
C.Few people lie about having read classical works by Jane Austen.
D.People usually enjoy reading books by Charles Dickens.
59.What is the best title for the passage?
A.Are You A Book Liar?
B.Readers Are All Liars
C.World Book Day
D.Dreams From My Father,
