With time going by,I understood 45 of the romantic sounding Italians.I just heard the 46 of the popcorn chewed between my teeth.My thought started to 47.I remembered when I was in South Korea,I 48 to watch a host on TV frequently.He seemed like a good friend to me,until I saw him 49 on TV in New York speaking 50 English instead of perfect Korean.He didn’t 51 have a Korean accent!I felt like I had been betrayed (背叛).
When our family moved to the United States six years ago,none of us spoke any English.
52 we had picked up a few words,my mother suggested that we all should practise English at home.Everyone agreed,but our house became terribly 53 and we all seemed to avoid each other.When we couldn’t avoid seeing each other,our expressions were stiff (僵硬的).Sitting at the dinner table we preferred silence to 54 a difficult language.Mother 55 to say something in English but it came out all wrong and we all burst into laughter and decided to forget it!We’ve been speaking Korean at home ever since.

36.B。本句的前一分句提到作者知道剧院中有空调,由此可知作者难以忍受自家房间的
“炎热”。上一句开头的时间状语“one night this summer”也是暗示。
37.D.由于前面两个人的个头很高,作者只能透过他们之间的空隙“观看”电影。作者
当时坐在座位上,由此可排除前三项。
38.D.每次两个人的姿势发生改变时,作者都不得不变换“角度”,以便看到电影画面。
39.C.作者前面的两个人卿卿我我,或者是她侧身和他说话,“或者”是他靠过去与她
亲吻。
40.C。作者认为即使是亲密无间的情侣,也应该有所避讳,不能在大庭广众之下如此忘乎所以,这种“私密”行为实在让人难以接受。根据本句中的“in a public place”可判断C项正确。
41.D。作者原以为这场电影可以帮助自己提高英语水平,结果它却是一部意大利电影。turn out结果是; come about发生;come up破土而出;发生;被提及,被讨论;turn up出现。
42.B.作者本想利用电影提高自己的英语水平,没想到它是一部意大利电影,自然听不
懂其中的内容,大约一个小时之“后”,他决定放弃。假如使用for,则表示大约一个
小时一直决定放弃,而decide是短暂性动词,不与时间段连用。
43.A。作者听不懂电影的内容,于是专心致志地吃爆米花。concentrate on集中精力;stare
at盯着看;work on从事,继续工作;stick with持续;坚持。
44.C。“不管怎样”,爆米花非常可口。either常用于否定句,表示“也不”; somehow
表示“以某种方式,莫名其妙地”。
C。作者不懂意大利语,自然听不懂里面的内容。下一句中的just也是线索提示.
46.B。根据本句中的heard可知,作者听到的只是牙齿咀嚼爆米花的“声音”。
47.B。下一句提到的是作者小时候发生的事情,由此可见作者的思绪回到了过去。
wander漫游;遐想;imagine想像,主语一般是人;fascinate迷住,使神魂颠倒。
48.D。解析 used to do sth.过去经常做某事。前两项的意思基本相同,可排除;devote to致力于,其中to是介词,如果选择此项,要把句中的watch改为watching。
49.A。作者小时候经常在韩国的电视上看到他,如今作者身在美国,而他也出现在纽约
的电视上,由此可推断是“再次”见到他。
50.C.根据本句中的“perfect Korean”及下文“He didn’t...have a Korean accent”可
判断此项正确。
51.A。他说的英语非常完美,十分纯正,“甚至”没有韩国口音。下一句也是线索提示。
C项表示“偶尔”;D项表示“经常”。
52.D。“由于”作者一家人已经学会了一些英语词汇,作者的母亲(就)建议大家在家中
练习说英语
53.B。结合本句中的but以及后一分句的内容可知家里变得非常“安静”,大家互相躲
避,谁也不愿意说英语。still表示“静止不动的”,不符合语境。
54.D。一家人坐在餐桌旁宁肯一言不发,也不愿意“说”英语。此处顺接上文,也是一
个大家不愿说英语的例证。
55.C。作者的母亲“试图”说英语,可是错误百出,让大家捧腹大笑。manage to do sth.
设法做成某事,强调结果的成功,显然不正确;happen to do sth.碰巧做某事,不符合所
给语境。
