　　答案与解析

　　1．D　根据后文“We entered the park”可知，应该是在公园门口(entrance)，故选D项。2．C　由前文“When our restaurant business failed”和“hoping to have a‘fresh start’”可知，作者是在寻找工作，注意到一个招聘广告，故选noticed。

　　3．B　后文提到“a rent­free place”，可知campsite是免费的，故选free。

　　4．A　根据填空处前文可知要得到这个工作，需要做公园主持人来作为回报，故选in return。in return意为“作为回报”；in turn意为“反过来，反之”；in short意为“总而言之”；in time意为“及时”。

　　5．D　前文提到作者看到招聘广告，应是明天预约，短语make an appointment意为“应聘”，符合语境。

　　6．A　根据后文“so it took us some time to find an available site，”可知人多(crowded)，很难找住的位置，所以选A项。quiet意为“安静的”；ideal意为“理想的”；dangerous意为“危险的”。

　　7．B　文中提到“two large skunks”，所以马上躲避。故选immediately，意为“立刻，马上”。

　　8．B　由上文立即躲避臭鼬可知很希望它们尽快离开(leave)，故选B项。

　　9．C　由前文“Having survived that night”，可知他们对于后面的时间感到自信(confident)，故选C项。

　　10．A　由前文“I made an appointment for the following day”和“The next day we met with the people who ran the park”可知他们去应聘了，管理人员告诉他们职位的职责(responsibilities)，故选A项。

　　11．D　由前文“everything else would be all right”和后文“rocking our little camping truck violently... until the winds died away”可知，前后情况是一种相反的场景，故选转折连词however。

　　12．A　由后文“They were strong and cold, rocking our little camping truck violently... until the winds died away.”可知选A项。

　　13．A　由前文“rocking our little camping truck violently”可知卡车(truck)在晃动(shake)，故选A项。

　　14．C　根据上下文可知，应该是指后续的几周时间(during)，故选C项。

　　15．C　根据上文可知，生意失败，所以作者的妻子要靠教书来挣钱。live on意为“靠……生活，以……为食”。故选C项。hand out意为“分发，用完，耗尽”；give away意为“捐赠，泄露”；put aside意为“存储，留出，搁置”。

　　16．B　根据上文可知，生意失败，所以作者的妻子要靠教书来挣钱(earn)，故选B项。

　　17．C　根据后文“I might lose my family as well”和“building a successful business and then losing it”可看出作者留给家的时间很少，故选family。

　　18．B　根据第一段第一句中“When our restaurant business failed”可知选B项。

　　19．A　由第五段中的“our little camping truck”可知填truck，tiny是small的同义替换。故选A项。

　　20．D　由前文可知作者找到工作和后文“we had become a family”可知，作者工作、家庭都有收获，所以作者感激(thankful)曾有的艰辛，故选D项。

　　三、阅读理解

　　A

　　The writer Margaret Mitchell is best known for writing Gone with the Wind，first published in 1936. Her book and the movie based on it, tell a story of love and survival during the American Civil War. Visitors to the Margaret Mitchell House in Atlanta, Georgia, can go where she lived when she started composing the story and learn more about her life.

　　Our first stop at the Margaret Mitchell House is an exhibit area telling about the writer's life. She was born in Atlanta in 1900. She started writing stories when she was a child. She started working as a reporter for the Atlanta Journal newspaper in 1922. One photograph of Ms Mitchell，called Peggy, shows her talking to a group of young college boys. She was only about one and a half meters tall. The young men tower over her, but she seems very happy, and sure of herself. The tour guide explains : “Now in this picture Peggy is interviewing some boys from Georgia Tech, asking them such questions as ‘Would you really marry a woman who works？’ And today it'd be ‘Would you marry one who doesn't？’”

　　The Margaret Mitchell House is a building that once contained several apartments. Now we enter the first floor apartment where Ms Mitchell lived with her husband, John Marsh. They made fun of the small apartment by calling it “The Dump”．

　　Around 1926，Margaret Mitchell had stopped working as a reporter and was at home healing after an injury. Her husband brought her books to read from the library. She read so many books that he bought her a typewriter and said it was time for her to write her own book. Our guide says Gone with the Wind became a huge success. Margaret Mitchell received the Pulitzer Prize for the book. In 1939 the film version was released. It won ten Academy Awards, including Best Picture.

　　本文介绍了《飘》的作者玛格丽特·米切尔。玛格丽特·米切尔出生在亚特兰大，小时候就开始写小说，后来在亚特兰大日报社做记者。她和丈夫住在一所小公寓里。因为受伤，她选择待在家里读书、写作。

　　A. Because she was rich enough.

　　B. Because she was injured then.

　　B

　　It was an early September day, cool and bright and just right for running, and I was in the first few miles of a 10­mile race over a course (路线) with a few high hills. Still, I felt energetic; despite the hills it was going to be a fine run.

　　Just ahead of me was Peggy Mimno, a teacher from Mount Kiseo, New York. She, too, was running easily, moving along at my speed. The pace(步速) felt comfortable, so I decided to stay where I was ；why pay attention to pace when she was setting such a nice one? I'd overtake(追上)her later on when she was tired.

　　So I ran behind her. The course headed north for miles, wondered west for a hilly mile, then turned south again along a winding road. The race was getting harder. We had four miles left and already it was beginning to be real work.

　　Peggy overtook a young runner. She seemed to know him, for they exchanged a few cheerful words as she passed him. Their exchange worried me. You don't chat during a race unless you are feeling good, and Peggy plainly was.

　　Still, I was close enough to overtake her if she was tired, so I didn't give up hope completely. We were getting nearer to a long, punishing hill now and it would be the test. We were a mile from the finish line, so whatever happened on the hill would almost determine who crossed it first.

　　As I moved up the hill, my attention wandered for a few minutes. When I looked up, Peggy was moving away—first five yards, then ten, then more. Finally it was clear that there was no help of catching her. She beat me soundly.

　　There is an important lesson in that race. Women are thought to be weaker, slower and not nearly as skilled in sport. Yet as Peggy Mimno so clearly showed, the similarities between men and women runners are more important than differences. I have run with a number of women, and I can say it is often hard work.

　　作者在长跑比赛开始时相当自信，认为能超过女选手Peggy拿第一，结果却输给了Peggy。作者从中学到了一些东西。

　　5．What did the writer think of the race in the beginning?

　　A. It would be hard work.

　　B. It would be an easy race.

　　C. It would be a test of his strength.

　　D. It would be a good learning experience.

　　答案　B

　　解析　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“I felt energetic...”可知答案为B项。

　　6．What worried the writer when Peggy greeted the young runner?

　　A. Peggy overtook the young runner.

　　B. Peggy was running energetically.

　　C. Peggy was laughing at the writer.

　　D. Peggy paid no attention to the writer.

　　答案　B

　　解析　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Their exchange worried me. You don't chat during a race unless you are feeling good, and Peggy plainly was.”可知选B项。

　　7．By saying the underlined part “a long, punishing hill” (Paragraph 5), the writer implies that

　　.

　　A. Peggy would fail to reach the hilltop

　　B. men are more skilled at climbing hills

　　C. overtaking Peggy would be easy

　　D. climbing the hill would be a demanding task

　　答案　D

　　解析　词义推测题。根据语境可推知划线部分是指“一段又长又艰难的山路”。由此推断选D项。a demanding task意为“费力的任务”。

　　8．What lesson does the writer learn from the race?

　　A. Women are as good as men in sport.

　　B. Women are better at climbing hills.

　　C. He should have more training in a cross­country race.

　　D. He should set a quicker pace at the beginning of a race.

　　答案　A

　　解析　推理判断题。由最后一段中的“Yet as Peggy Mimno so clearly showed, the similarities between men and women runners are more important than differences.”可知答案为A项。
