　　I used to believe in the American Dream, which meant a job, a mortgage (按揭)，credit cards, success. I wanted it and worked toward it like everyone else, all of us

　　36

　　chasing the same thing.

　　One year, through a series of unhappy events, it all fell

　　37

　　. I found myself homeless and alone. I had my truck and $56. I

　　38

　　the countryside for some place I could rent for the

　　39

　　possible amount. I came upon a shabby house four miles up a winding mountain road

　　40

　　the Potomac River in West Virginia. It was

　　41

　　, full of broken glass and rubbish. I found the owner, rented it, and

　　42

　　a corner to camp in.

　　The locals knew nothing about me,

　　43

　　slowly, they started teaching me the

　　44

　　of being a neighbor. They dropped off blankets, candles, and tools, and began

　　45

　　around to chat. They started to teach me a belief in a

　　46

　　American Dream—not the one of individual achievement but of

　　47

　　.

　　What I had believed in, all those things I thought were

　　48

　　for a civilized life, were nonexistent in this place.

　　49

　　on the mountain, my most valuable possessions were my

　　50

　　with my neighbors.

　　Four years later, I moved back into

　　51

　　. I saw many people were having a really hard time,

　　52

　　their jobs and homes. I managed to rent a big enough house to

　　53

　　a handful of people. There are four of us now in the house, but over time I’ve had nine people come in and move on to other places. We’d all be in

　　54

　　if we hadn’t banded together.

　　The American Dream I believe in now is a shared one. It’s not so much about what I can get for myself; it’s about

　　55

　　we can all get by together.

　　36. A. separately B. equally C. violently D. naturally

　　37. A. off B. apart C. over D. out

　　38. A. crossed B. left C. toured D. searched

　　39. A. fullest B. largest C. fairest D. cheapest

　　40. A. at B. through C. over D. round

　　41. A. occupied B. abandoned C. emptied D. robbed

　　42. A. turned B. approached C. cleared D. cut

　　43. A. but B. although C. otherwise D. for

　　44. A. benefit B. lesson C. nature D. art

　　45. A. sticking B. looking C. swinging D. turning

　　46. A. wild B. real C. different D. remote

　　47. A. neighborliness

　　B. happiness C. friendliness D. kindness

　　[定文体抓主旨]：本文是一篇夹叙夹议的散文。本文主题围绕作者对于美国梦的认识变化而展开。首先讲述了作者曾经以为美国梦就是追求个人的成功；后来，在遭遇一系列不幸后，作者在乡村生活四年的经历和感受使得作者对美国梦的有了新的认识和深刻感悟，也就是如何实现大家共同的成功。

　　本篇难度：中等。

　　[篇章结构]：

　　段落 关键词 大意推测

　　第一部分（para.1） used to believe in the American Dream, which meant…,chasing

　　作者过去对美国梦的理解就是个人的成功。

　　第二部分（para.2--5） unhappy events,

　　fell apart, countryside, a shabby house, the art of being a neighbor, a belief, a different American Dream, a civilized life, nonexistent, valuable possessions, relationships,

　　moved back,

　　managed, in shelters 在经历了一系列不幸后，作者曾经的美国梦破碎；然而，在乡村与邻居们相处四年的经历使得作者对美国梦有了新的感悟。

　　第三部分（para. 6） a shared one, It’s not so much about what I can get for myself, it’s about how we can all get by together.

　　作者对美国梦的全新认识：美国梦不是仅仅实现个人的成功，而是关于我们如何通过共同奋斗都能获得成功。

　　[解析]：

　　36．A。结合文章主旨和上文语境。由此句 “I wanted it and worked toward it like everyone else.”作者过去曾经坚信的美国梦就是大家都在共同的追求中实现个人的成功。separately单独地，个别地；equally相等地；平等地；

　　37．B。根据语境和固定短语。由第二段 “a series of unhappy events”，一系列的不幸使得作者的梦想破碎。fall apart崩溃，破碎；fall off 减少；跌落；变坏；fall over被…绊倒；意外地从…上跌落；fall out争吵；结果；解散38．D。语义和词组搭配。在穷困潦倒时，作者只得到乡村找个便宜的居所，此处搭配为search…for… 其余均不符。

　　39．D。语境和语义。“I had my truck and $56”，因为作者已经到了几乎身无分文的地步，带着身上仅有的56美元，作者只能租下最便宜的花费的住所（some place I could rent）。

　　40． C。根据句意和搭配。作者找到了可以租赁的一个破旧房子，不过要沿着横跨波托马克河的蜿蜒山路向上行走4英里。” a winding mountain road”横跨 “the Potomac River”，over在…上面,由一边到另一边，其余均不符。

　　41．B。由上下文信息和词义。 “a shabby house”这是一个破旧的房子，“full of broken glass and rubbish”到处都是破碎的玻璃碎片和垃圾，所以看出这里早已被遗弃多时，occupied已占用的，在使用的；abandoned被放弃的，被遗弃的 ,其余两项被清空的和被抢劫的语境不符。

　　42．C。把握上文语境。作者找到房主租下房子后，“to camp in”必须先进行清理才能住宿，所以作者先清理了房主的一个角落。clear 扫除，使干净；approach接近，走近，靠近; turn旋转；使改变方向；cut剪切；切成。这三项与语境不符。

　　43．A。根据语句间的逻辑关系。尽管当地人对我是一无所知，但是，他们却教我与邻居相处的艺术。很显然是一种转折关系。although尽管；虽然位置应该放在 “The locals knew nothing about me”之前。otherwise否则，不然；for因为，由于。它们都不符合。

　　44．D。根据句意和词汇。邻居们教作者应该如何与邻居们相处的艺术。art艺术，技巧；benefit利益，好处；lesson教训，训诫；nature自然；天性；天理；后三项与语境不符。

　　45．A。根据句意和词组。“to chat” 邻居们开始停留下来与作者聊天。stick around逗留，停留；look around骋目四顾；四顾；swing around使转过；turn around使）转身；（使）好转；改变意见。

　　46．C。 根据上下文语境解题。文章第一段讲到了“the American Dream，which meant a job, a mortgage (按揭), credit cards, success”，空格后提示“not the one of individual achievement”，可知这是一个不同的（different）American Dream。

　　47．A。 根据上下文语境解题。本段前面讲到邻居们教他做邻居的艺术，给他提供了很多帮助，由此可知选neighborliness友善，睦邻友好。其余三项分别意为：幸福；友好，亲切；仁慈，好意。neighborliness侧重指邻里关系。

　　48．D。根据上下文语境解题。根据第一段所描述的美国梦的内容“a job, a mortgage (按揭), credit cards, success”，可知作者原来认为这些东西是文明生活必须的（necessary）。其余三项分别意为：野生的，野蛮的，狂野的；真实的；偏僻的，遥远的，均不符合语境。

　　49. A。根据上文提示和语法知识解题。由第二段中“I came upon a shabby house four miles up a winding mountain road”可知房子在山上，可知选up。

　　50．。根据上下文语境解题。句意：在这个山上，我最珍贵的财产是我和邻居们的关系（relationships）。其余三项分别意为：合作；满意；约会，均不符合语境。51．C。 根据上下文语境解题。根据第二段的“I _38_the countryside for some place”可知作者到乡村找地方租住，现在是“I moved back into”，当然是搬回到城里（town）了。其余三项分别意为：现实；社会；生活，均不符合语境。

　　52．B。根据句内逻辑关系解题。前面说“many people were having a really hard time”，许多人正过着相当艰难的生活，可知是失去（losing）了工作和家。creating:创造；offering：提供，明显不符合语境；quitting只能和jobs搭配，不能和homes搭配。

　　53．C。根据语法知识解题。本题考查动词词组含义。四个选项分别意为：放进，提交，申请；上交，拐入，告发；让…进入，接受，理解，吸入，欺骗；进入，到达，收获，被录取。此处说作者设法租了一个足够大的房子来让一些人住进来，因此选C。get in是主动进入，不符合语境。

　　54．B。 根据上文语境和语法知识解题。此处说：如果我们不团结在一起，我们都会流落到住收容所（shelters）的地步。其余三项分别意为：庭院；帐篷；小屋，村舍，均不符合语境。

　　55．D。 根据语法知识和语境解题。句意：美国梦不是关于我能为自己得到什么，而是关于我们所有人如何能够一起度过难关。about后面的从句不缺主语、宾语、表语，因此不选what；也没有是否(whether)的意思；也没有涉及时间问题（when），因此只能选how.

　　(一)

　　He has been called the “missing link.” Half-man, half-beast. He is supposed to live in the highest mountain in the world-Mount Everest.

　　He is known as the Abominable Snowman. The

　　1

　　of the Snowman has been around for

　　__2

　　. Climbers in the 1920s reported finding marks like those of human feet high up on the side of Mound Everest. The native people said they

　　3

　　this creature and called it the “Yeti,”and they said that they had

　　4

　　caught Yetis on two occasions

　　5

　　none has ever been produced an evidence（证据）.

　　Over the years, the story of the Yetis has

　　6

　　. In 1951, Eric Shipton took photographs of a set of tracks in the snow of Everest. Shipton believed that they were not

　　7

　　the tracks of a monkey or bear and

　　8

　　that the Abominable Snowman might really

　　9

　　.

　　Further efforts have been made to find out about Yetis. But the only things people have ever found were

　　10

　　footprints. Most believe the footprints are nothing more than

　　11

　　animal tracks, which had been made

　　12

　　as the melted（融化）and refroze in the snow.

　　13

　　, in 1964, a Russian scientist said that the Abominable Snowman was

　　14

　　and was a remaining link with the prehistoric humans. But,

　　15

　　. no evidence has ever

　　16

　　been produced.

　　These days, only a few people continue to take the story of the Abominable Snowman

　　__17

　　. But if they ever

　　18

　　catching one, they may face a real

　　19

　　: Would they put it in a

　　19. A. decision B. situation C. subject D. problem

　　20. A. zoo B. mountain C. museum D. laboratory

　　答案与解析：

　　1. B

　　后文叙述的是关于Yeti的传说故事，故选story。

　　2. D

　　从1920年开始被发现，至今应有“许多年了”。

　　3. C

　　当地人称这种生物为Yeti，肯定是“知道”它以及关于它的事。

　　4. A

　　“抓住”比“知道”更进一步，用even表示强调程度的加深。

　　5. B

　　“曾经抓到”与“没有证据”之间为转折关系，即“虽然……但是……”。

　　6. D

　　第二段讲述了关于Yeti的一个传说故事，后文中将有新的介绍。故可知“故事”在“继续”。

　　7. D

　　Shipton相信这些“脚印”不简简单单为“猴子”或“熊”的脚印，故选simply。

　　8. C

　　felt与believed是并列的谓语动词，意为“感觉到”。

　　9. A

　　Shipton感觉这种动物可能真的存在。

　　10. B

　　人们发现的仅仅是“更多”的脚印。

　　11. C

　　许我人相信这些脚印只不过是那些普通动物（比如猴子或熊）留下的。

　　12. B

　　“普通的脚印”看起来不“普通”，是因为其在雪里融化而变“大”了。

　　13. D

　　前文介绍了一些人脚印的判断，而后文是一位俄国科学家的新发现。故判断出两部分之间应用 however转折。

　　14. B

　　real意为“真的，存在的”。

　　15. C

　　前面提到过，当地人的发现和传说没有证据可依，这一次“又”是如此。

　　16. B

　　没有证据被实际记载。

　　17. C

　　take … seriously意为“把……当回事（严肃认真对待）”。

　　18. A

　　succeed in doing意为“成功地做成某事”。

　　19. D

　　face a problem意为“面临问题”。

　　20. A

　　前文提到这种生物“半人半兽”，那么如果人们真的抓住一个，将面临的问题是：把它放到动物园（当它是动物？）还是在旅馆里给它一个房间（当它是人？）
