7、 D. accompanied 答案:B 此处表示男子被送入医院。be admitted into此处相当于“被医院接收”。不是“被允许”住院,因此不用A项;下文说明,男子独自生活,没有人陪他住院,因此不选D项。accompany 伴随,陪伴;allow允许;force强迫。 2. A. remind B. bring C. visit D. call 答案:D 依据常识推断,父亲住院,应当让护士给女儿打电话。此段最终一句也有提示。remind“提示”;visit“访问”,明显不合规律。 3. A. fa
8、mily B. friend C. relative D. companion 答案:A 男子独自居住,因此女儿是他唯一的亲人或家庭成员,因此用family“家属、亲属”。relative“亲戚”;companion“伙伴”,不合规律。 4. A. terrified B. annoyed C. disturbed D. upset 答案:D 听到父亲病重的消息,女儿格外担忧,因此用upset。terrified“可怕的”;annoyed“恼火
9、的”;disturbed“心烦的”。 5. A. argument B. relationship C. disagreement D. bet 答案:A 依据上下文分析,女儿赌气出走,因此是跟父亲吵架。此处argument相当于quarrel。disagreement“意见不一”,不至于离家出走;bet“打赌”,不合语境。 6. A. forgiveness B. advice C. comfort D. permission 答案:A 从上下文女儿所表现出来的懊
10、悔和难过推断,女儿想得到父亲的原谅。向父亲“求教”,寻求“劝慰”,征得“同意”,均不合规律。forgiveness原谅,宽恕;comfort劝慰;permission允许;advice建议。 7. A. Love B. Hate C. Believe D. Envy 答案:B 从女儿赌气出走这一点推断,女儿对父亲说的最终一句话是“我恨你”。envy“嫉妒”不合规律。 8. A. ruined B. lowered C. worsened D. decreased 答案:C 从最终父亲
11、去世推断,他的病情恶化,因此用worsen。lower“降低”,decrease“削减”都不合题意。 9. A. fruitless B. various C. obvious D. uncertain 答案:A 从后面父亲去世推断,治疗没有结果,因此用fruitless。uncertain“不确定的”,与下文不符。 10. A. left B. caught C. observed D. kept 答案:C 护士凝视着医生跟男子的女
12、儿谈话,因此observe sb.doing sth.。leave sb.doing表示“任凭某人做……”;catch sb.doing sth.”发觉某人做……”;keep sb.doing sth.“让某人始终做……”。 11. A. disappointment B. hurt C. puzzle D. anger 答案:B 听到父亲病逝的消息,女儿脸上露出“苦痛”的神情。“无望”、“迷惑”、“生气”都不合语境。 12. A. pulled B. pushed C. took
13、 D. set 答案:C 护士有话要跟病人的女儿说,因此把她“带到一边”;push...aside“把……推到一边”;put/set sth.aside“把……收起来”,都不合题意。 13. A. result B. fate C. feeling D. loss 答案:D 护士由于对方失去父亲而表示难过。fate“命运”不合语境。 14. A. still B. once C. never D. hardly 答案:C 从女儿难过这一信息推断,她从来没有真正恨过父亲,因此
14、用never。 15. A. reached B. thanked C. missed D. loved 答案:D 依据上下文分析,女儿是赌气出走,她始终爱着父亲,故用love。miss“惦念”不能同前面的hate形成对比。 16. A. buried B. hid C. cleaned D. covered 答案:A 女儿格外难过,因此把脸埋在床单上,故用bury。用hide,cover等都不合语境。 17. A. silent B. painful
15、 C. fearless D. countless 答案:D 女儿格外难过,因此流了泪水,用countless“很多的”,说明女儿难过的程度。silent“无声的”,修饰tears不合适。painful“苦痛的”。 18. A. decided B. tried C. hoped D. promised 答案:B 此处表示护士不忍心看父女生死离别的场面。因此此处表示:护士试图不看这一场面。decide not to do sth.表示“决心不……”,不合语境。 19. A. f
16、eel B. place C. notice D. open 答案:C 护士在病人的床头柜上发觉了一张纸条,此处表示“无意发觉”,因此用notice。feel强调“有感受而留意到”不合语境;place“放置”,不合规律。 20. A. also B. again C. forever D. soon 答案:A 父亲原谅了女儿,同时也恳求女儿对他的原谅,因此用also。again“又一次”;forever“永久”;soon“不久”,都不合规律。 阅读理解。阅读下列材料,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳
17、选项。 One evening in February 2007. A student named Paula Ceely brought her car to a stop on a remote in Wales. She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path . That's when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train. Her Renault Clio parked across a railway line. Second later, sh
18、e watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks. Ceely's near miss made the news because she blamed it on her GPS device(导航仪).She had never driven the route before .It was dark and raining heavily. Ceely was relying on her GPS. But it made no mention of the crossi
19、ng. "I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right into the path of a speeding train," she told the BBC. W ho is to blame here? Rick Stevenson, who tells Ceely's story in his book When Machines Fail US, finger at the limitations of technology. We put our faith in digital devices, he
20、says, But our digital helpers are too often not up to the job. They are filled with small problems. And it’s not just GPS devices: Stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving everything from mobile phones to wireless key boards. The problem with his argument in the book
21、is that it’s not clear why he only focuses digital technology, while there may be a number of other possible causes. A map-maker might have left the crossing off a paper map. Maybe we should blame Ceely for not paying attention. Perhaps the railway authorities are at fault for poor signaling syst
22、em. Or maybe someone has studied the relative dangers and worked out that there really is something specific wrong with the CPS equipment. But Stevenson doesn’t say. It’s a problem that runs through the book. In a section on cars, Stevenson gives an account of the advanced techniques that criminals
23、 use to defeat computer-based locking systems for cars. He offers two independent sets of figures on car theft; both show a small rise in some parts of the country. He says that once once again not all new locks have proved reliable. Perhaps, but maybe it’s also due to the shortage of policemen on t
24、he streets. Or changing social circumstances. Or some combination of these factors. The game between humans and their smart devices is complex. It is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in. Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be way a wiser use of technology.
25、 If there is such a way, it should involve more than just an awareness of the shortcomings of our machines. After all, we have lived with them for thousands of years. They have probably been fooling us for just as long. ( ) 1 .What did Paula Ceely think was the cause of her accident?
26、A. She was not familiar with the road. B. It was dark and raining heavily then. C. The railway works failed to give the signal. D. Her GPS device didn’t tell her about the crossing ( ) 2. The phrase “near miss” (paragraph 2) can best be replaced by _______. A. close bit

28、es are more reliable than they used to be. D. GPS error is not the only cause for Celery’s accident. ( ) 4. In the writer’s opinion, Stevenson’s argument is________. A. one-sided B. reasonable C. puzzling D. well-based ( ) 5.What is the real concern of the writer of this arti
