在上星期打的那场网球比赛。Ed 是一个大腹便便的人，很胖。我本以为能够很轻松地打败他，但是结果却发现比赛很艰巨。我们两个人都赢了：我赢了比赛，但Ed 赢得了我的尊敬。【小题 1A】考查形容词。A.tiring 累人的；B.interesting 有趣的；C.moving 感人的；D.frightening 害怕的。句意：我以前打过很多比赛，但是这次是我曾经打过的最累的比赛之一。从后文中得知，Ed 打网球打得很好，我们两人棋鼓相当。故选A。【小题 2D】考查动词。A.cheered 欢呼；B.screamed 尖叫；C.performed表演；D.smiled 微笑。句意：当 Ed 第一次打电话给我，建议我们两个打网球时，我静静地微笑，心想我一定能打败他，因为我认为Ed身体这么胖是不能赢得任何比赛的。根据题意，可知我胜券在握，因此我微笑。故选D。【小题 3A】考查形容词。A.proud 自豪的；B.afraid 害怕的；C.shy 害羞的；D.guilty 内疚的。句意：我记得，Ed 是家里身体最不健康的，但是奇怪的是他对自己很自豪。从but 中，可以看出，虽然他身体胖，但是他对自己很有信心，很自豪。故选A。【小题 4C】考查动词。A.agreed同意；B.wanted 想；C.refused 拒绝；D.afforded 承担得起。句意：尽管家人常常拿这个开开玩笑，Ed

quickly,heading towardstheir jobs.This was the beginning of another _1_ day in New York City._2_ this day was to be different.Waiting _3_ the crowded streets,on top of a building 110 stories high,was Philippe Petit.This daringFrenchman was about to _4_ a tightrope（绷索）between the two towers of the World Trade Center.Philippe took his first _5_ with great care.The wire held.Now he was sure he could do it.With only abalancing pole,Philippe walked his way across a _6_ of 131 feet.Soon the rush hour crowds began to notice.What a wonder!There,1350 feet above the street,a tiny figurewas walking on air.Philippe made seven trips,back and forth（来回）.He wasnt satisfied with just _7 _.At times,he wouldturn,sit down,and even go on his knees.Once,he had the astonishing courage to lie down on the thin thread.Andthousands of _8_ watchers stared with their hearts beating fast.After the forty-five minute _9_,Philippe was taken to the police station.He was asked _10_ he didit.Philippe shrugged（耸肩）and said,When I see two tall buildings,I walk.1.A.workingB.hotC.sameD.ordinaryD【精析】空缺处必定填与“different”意思相悖的词，而another same day是错误表达，2.A.AndB.SoC.ButD.ThusC精析】分析句子内容可知此空前后两句意思有明显的转折之意，故应由but 来连接。3.A.forB.inC.byD.aboveD【精析】此题如不留心，很容易错选B，但通过下文提示“在100 层高的大楼顶端”，应选 above.4.A.throwB.walkC.climbD.fixB【精析】下文有反复提示walk。此句意思是：这个大胆的法国人正要在世贸中心的两幢高楼之间走绷索。5.A.actB.landingC.stepD.tripC【精析】take ones step 意为“迈出步伐”，显然，此处指的是在绷索上迈出第一步。6.A.distanceB.heightC.spaceD.ropeA【精析】此处指他走完了绷索的全程，所以这指的是一段距离。7.A.walkingB.stayingC.actingD.showingA【精析】由上下文可知，他不满足于只在绷索上行走，因此选walking.8.A.patientB.terrifiedC.pleasedD.enjoyableB【精析】本句大意是：数以千计的人目不转睛地盯着他，惊恐万状，心跳加速。patient：耐心的，pleased：高兴的，enjoyable：令人愉快的，从逻辑上看只有terrified 合适。9.A.showB.trickC.tryD.programA【精析】本句意为：45 分钟的表演后，他被带到了警局。trick：花招、技巧，try：尝试，program：节目、项目，只有 show（表演）才合适。10.A.howB.whyC.whetherD.whenB【精析】警察询问的显然是他这么做的原因，所以选择why.C CIs language,like food,a basic human need without which a child at a critical period of life can be starved anddamaged?Judging from the experimentJudging from the experiment,of Fredrick II in the thirteenth century,it _1_.Hoping to discoverwhat languagelanguage a child would _2_ if he heard no mother tongue,he told the nurses to keep silent.All the babies died before _3_ first year.Without good mothering,in the first yearin the first year of life,especially,the_4_ to survive survive is seriously influenced.Today no such severe lack exists as as_5_ordered by Fredrick II.Nevertheless，some children are still_6_in speaking.Most often the _7_for thisfor this is that the mother is insensitive to the signals of the baby;_8_ brain is made to learn language rapidly.If these sensitive periods are neglected,the ideal time for

passed.Experts suggest that speech stages are reached in a fixed order and at a constant age,but there are caseswhere speech has started late in a child who eventually turns out to be clever.1.A.must
