21、老师,所以应向学生“解释”他们将要学习的内容。speak表示说话的内容时是不及物动词,teach用在此处丝毫没有意义。 3. D (that/which)they would take是定语从句,修饰先行词the journey。take the journey是固定搭配,表示“去旅行”。 4. C 根据but一词可推测作者虽然身为校长,可当年并不知未来如何。 5. D 他不仅教育作者思考,而且以大量事例让作者“信服”。根据本句中的as much by example可知是举例让作者相信他的话。 6. A 他不但用“话语”进行教育,还辅之以例证。此处与本句前
22、面的taught相呼应。 7. C 这么做并且为“别人”服务是作者的道义责任,此处表示泛指“其他人”。A项表示特指以外的其他人,与所给语境不符;everyone表示“每个人”,包括作者在内,显然不恰当;D项表示“任何人”,不符合语境。 8. A 根据下文our relationship changed可判断A选项正确。后三项分别表示“职位”、“形势”、“条件;状况”,在文中都没有信息支持。 9. B 几年后,作者被“任命”为系主席,此处name是动词,表示 “任命;提名”。A项表示 “指出”,应改为appointed。 10. D 第一段开头部分提到作者当时是Dr Offutt
23、的学生,根据本句前一句中的I worked for Dr Offutt可知作者已是教师,而此处又提到作者被提拔,由此可知二人之间的关系 “又”发生了改变。 11. D 本句中间部分提到作者以前的英语老师仍然在此处工作,所以作者认为管理这个系的工作极具“挑战”性。 12. C 根据but一词可知Dr Offutt自始至终“支持”作者。下一句提供了暗示。 13. A 上文提到作者很茫然,不知所措,由此可知他给作者提供“建议”。此处,根据后面give的宾语内容也可以判断A选项正确。 14. D 如果他当初让作者留在DeMatha,作者也许会
24、这么做。“然而”他鼓励作者接受新的使命。 15. B 本段第一句提到作者即将出任另一所学校的校长,由此可知这是一次“机会”。根据本句的前一句可知作者并没有决定去担当此任,所以A项不正确;C项表示 “占据;占有;职业”,与语意不符。 16. B 此处与上文的I’m the principal of the school now …相呼应。 (二) Bobby Moresco出身普通工人家庭,他想摆脱当建筑工人或警察的命运,希望能成为演员,并克服了种种困难为之奋斗了数十年,最后终于成了一位著名的剧作家。 1. B 因为他出身普通工人家庭,按照父亲和周边伙伴们的发展轨迹,他也应该只能当建筑
25、工人或警察,选择should表示推测,可译成“按理说应该”,must太肯定,can表示可能性时一般不用于肯定句或表示 “客观的可能”,其他选项也都不对。 2. C 他想摆脱自己的宿命,或是想闯出来,选择out可表示这层意思。 3. D Bobby从少年时期就开始演戏,但如同后来所知,他的演艺生涯一直不成功,因此此处可填good表示“不是一个好演员”。 4. A 虽然不是一个好的演员.他还是希望能改变自己的人生“做一些使生活变得不同的事情”。 5. C 为了实现自己的夙愿,他去了好莱坞碰运气,“碰运气”可使用meet(find)one’s fortune表示,故选择fortune。
26、 6. A 短语make it有“成功”之意。 7. D 因为太想当一名演员,所以他自愿在自己开办的一个表演单位做出租司机和服务员的工作。 8. B 根据上下文的意思可知尽管他目前做的工作很辛苦,但他仍然执著于自己选择的事业,chosen符合句意。afford“给予,提供”,respected“受尊敬的”,offer“提供”,含义重复或者与句意不符。 9. C 由于弟弟被谋杀,他放弃了自己的工作(失业了),回到老地方,只有选择old才符合意思。 10. D 这里的意思是他写了一部与他自己生活有关的戏剧,“与……有关”可使用be related to表示,因此此处选择related。
27、 11.C 上文已经谈到他的弟弟被谋杀。此处选择killing即指此事。 12. B 这里是指好莱坞的一个制片人碰巧看到了这部戏,“碰巧”使用happen表示。 13. D 这里是指他渐渐有了名气。reputation意思是“名气,名望”,为最佳选项。influence“影响”,ambition“雄心”及success“成功”均不符合题意。 14. A 上文谈到在1983年他失业过一次,因此这次是再一次失业。 15. B 正在他穷困潦倒时,他接到一个导演的电话,when可表示“正当这时”。 16. D 他们二人合作创作了剧本但被制片厂给拒绝了,turn down有“拒绝,驳回”之意,为最佳答案。 - 5 - 用心 爱心 专心
