【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章叙述了“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,应当有所突破,才有机会获得成功。
1.A.seeing B.crying out
C.watching D.listening to
解析 句意为:我听到了无望的声音。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”。由其次段第四句中“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”。由其次段第五句中的“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“阅历,经受”;direction意为“方向”;force意为“武力”;attempt意为“尝试”。依据上下文语境可知,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“不行能的”;common“寻常的”。由常识可知,苍蝇是不行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”。由常识推断,假如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“幻想”;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“铺张”;plan“方案”。依据语境可知,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”。由其次段第四句中的“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,简洁的”;necessary“必要的”;hard“困难的”;obvious“明显的”。句意为:突破的可能性就在那里,是那么简洁。
答案 A
14.A.attempt B.anything
C.struggle D.something
解析 something“某事,某物”,常用于确定句;anything“任何事物”,常用于否定句和疑问句。在表示恳求、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“区分,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“期望”;power“力气”。此处与最终一段中的“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:假如你冒险把你的期望放在比以往更困难的突破上,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
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
As a solo artist, Brightman has sold 26 million albums and two million DVDs in 34 countries. Her musical styles put opera, pop and jazz together. She is popular in the States but not here(Britain) – the image of her and her second husband, Andrew Lloyd Webber (he much older, she his muse) seems for ever frozen.
The 47-year-old singer talks about the new album Symphony that came out of a “very dark time”, including her decision to give up trying to have children. “People have suggested I could adopt,” Brightman says. “But work is central to my life now. And so I am going to put it to one side. After a while not having children becomes the norm and perhaps that might sound alarming, to parents especially, but I have never known anything different. I’m not hurt by not having children. My life and career are incredibly rich.”
Talking about growing up in a large family in Berkhamsted (father a property developer who later committed suicide), she says: “I was gifted as a child, and very musical. I seemed to be good at anything to do with the arts. At 5 I understood the music I was dancing to and had an eye for costume.” She first appeared in a West End musical at 11 and hated boarding school.
Brightman led the saucy dance troupe(辣妹三人舞) Hot Gossip and had her first hit with I Lost My Heart to a Starship Trooper in 1978. At 18 she married a music manager called Andrew Graham Stewart. “I was probably in love but I can’t remember. Girls change such a lot between 18 and 22. It didn’t really work out.” In 1981 she was spotted by Lloyd Webber. She became his leading lady in Song and Dance, Requiem and Phantom of the Opera. They married in 1984.
Brightman says she felt hostility(敌意) “from the beginning. I haven’t tried to understand it. I’ve done very well everywhere else, especially the US, where I now live, I just accept it for what it is. The more you are away from Britain, the more you appreciate it. But I don’t miss it, although I miss my family. Our profession can be uncomfortable but I enjoy what I do. I get on with it.”
1. The first paragraph tells us that _____.
A. Brightman is very popular around the world except in America
B. Brightman’s musical style is a mixture of opera, pop and jazz
C. the British people don’t like her for her style of music

2. Brightman decided to give up having children because _____.
A. she could adopt one

A. Brightman first appeared in a West End musical at 5
B. Brightman disliked life on the campus
C. Brightman was very gifted when she was young
D.The saucy dance troupe made Brightman famous
4. The underlined word in the fourth paragraph probably means _____.
A. located B. admired C. followed D. found
5. What does the author try to say in the last paragraph by quoting Brightman’s words?
A. Brightman has to accept the fact that she is not liked in Britain
B. Brightman lives in America but she loves her own country
C. The British coldness towards Brightman led to her hatred to her homeland
D. Brightman was at a loss why she was not welcome in Britain

阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Only three local students won Chinese Blog (博客) Competition. And 15 of the 18 awards went to students from China.
170 students’ task: to get a fully-designed blog up and running, complete with many postings based on a theme of choice—all written in Chinese.
Themes ranged from local opinions—such as the usage of Singlish, education and whether Singapore can be a cultural centre—to food blogs.
The entries were judged on language proficiency (娴熟程度) and the quality of writing, as well as the design and level of exchanging ideas with readers.
Academics from the National University of Singapore and the SIM University, IT experts, and a journalist from Chinese newspaper Lianhe Zaobao in Singapore made up the judges.
In the end, only three Singaporean students made it to the award list—the rest of the awards were swept up by students from China.
"No surprise,” said Mr. Chow Yaw Long, 37, teacher-in-charge from Innova Junior College, which organized the event. “Although the topics were local subjects, the foreign students were generally better in terms of the content of the posts and their grasp of the Chinese language.”
One of the three local students winning the first prize in the Best Language Award was blogger Christina Gao, 19, from the Saint Andrew’s Junior College, who spared no effort in researching for and writing her blog. Each entry took her between five and seven days to produce, complete with pictures and even podcasts (播客).
Her advice for bloggers is: Be responsible.
"Some bloggers out there only seek to blame the authorities and other bloggers,” said Miss Gao, “I think they lack responsibilities and there is no value to their posts.”
1. The competition was organized by .
A. the National University of Singapore B. Chinese newspaper Lianhe Zaobao
C. Innova Junior College D. the Saint Andrew’s Junior College
2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Chinese students won most of the awards.
B. Not all the themes were about local subjects.
C. The blogs could be written in Chinese or Singlish.
D. The judges were from universities in Singapore and China.
3. What Miss Gao said suggests that .
A. she likes to blame the authorities B. she has a sense of responsibility
C. she thinks highly of the others’ blogs D. she loves to read valuable posts
4. The passage is mainly about .
A. how Chinese students won the awards in the competition
B. why bloggers should take responsibility for their blogs
C. how Miss Gao won the first prize in the competition
D. what the result of the competition was
