Ⅳ. 阅读理解
On Nov. 30, 1835, Samuel Langhorne Clemens was welcomed into the world as the sixth child of John Marshall and Jane Lampton Clemens. Little did John and Jane know, their son Samuel would one day be known as Mark Twain—America’s most famous literary(文学)icon(偶像).
Samuel’s father was a judge, and he built a two-story frame house at 206 Hill Street in 1844. As a child, Samuel was kept indoors because of poor health. However, at the age of nine, he seemed to recover from his ailments and then attended a private school in Hannibal.
When Samuel was 12, his father died of pneumonia(肺炎), and at 13, Samuel left school to become a printer’s apprentice(学徒). After two short years, he joined his brother Orion’s newspaper as a printer and an editorial assistant. It was here that young Samuel found he enjoyed writing.
At 17, he left Hannibal for a printer’s job in St. Louis. While in St. Louis, Samuel became a river pilot’s apprentice. He became a licensed river pilot in 1858. Samuel’s pen name, Mark Twain, comes from his days as a river pilot. It is a river term which means, 12 feet when the depth of water for a boat is being measured. “Mark Twain”means that is safe to navigate(航行).
In 1861, Samuel began working as a newspaper reporter for several newspapers all over the United States. In 1870, he married Olivia Langdon.
Mark Twain began to gain fame when his story, The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County appeared in The New York Saturday Press on November 18, 1865. Mark Twain’s first book, The Innocents Abroad, was published in 1869, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer in 1876, and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn in 1885. He wrote 28 books and numerous short stories, letters and other articles.
Mark Twain passed away on April 21, 1910, but has a following still today. His childhood home is open to the public as a museum in Hannibal. Walking tours are given in New York City of places that Mark Twain visited near his birthday every year.

答案与解析
1. C 本题考查短语辨析。no doubt“毫无疑问”;above all“首先”;no wonder“难怪,不足为奇”;of course“当然”。由题意可知选C项。
2. A wonder后可加wh-从句或带疑问词的不定式;B、D两项用了疑问语序显然不对;C项do缺少宾语。
3. A 由题意“据说他被允许回国……”可知此处应用allow sb. to do的被动形式。
4. B 句意:……他是一个总把工作放在心上且尽力做好它的人。这一含义也可以从主句中believe in“信任”推断出来。从所给选项看,只有B项表示该意义。
5. D 考查动词词义。句意:你为什么不只关心自己的事而让我清静点呢?mind“关心,在意,介意”。
6. B 句意:“我可以问你一个私人问题吗?”“当然,问吧!”go ahead在此意为“问吧”。
7. B 句意:经理说新旅馆的建设将按计划进行。从四个选项的词性及词义来分析,A、D两项为不及物动词,但不能表示“进行”的含义,C项有“执行,进行”的意思,它是及物动词词组,sth. 作主语时应用被动语态。
8. A in the matter of就……而论;in the event of如果……发生;on behalf of代表……;on account of由于……。句意:我们的居住区是新建的,因此这儿周围没有什么娱乐活动。
9. B 本题考查介词短语用法。句意:2008年的冬天太糟糕了,事实上大部分人说那是他们一生中最差的一个冬天。第二句话实际上是进一步强调了第一句话的意思,有递进关系,故选B项。
10. B 句意:我想吉姆没有看见我,他当时正在看天。由此可知此处应该用过去进行时。
11. C glare at意为“怒视”;stare at意为“注视”。根据句意应选择“怒视”的含义,并且应在句子中作伴随状语,故应用现在分词。
12. B a scenic spot风景胜地。句意:杭州西湖是著名的风景胜地,每月吸引了数以千计的游客。
13. A 句意:一位警察发现我有困难,便来帮忙。spot“发现”;scream“尖叫”;seek“寻找”;sigh“叹气”。
14. A earn one’s passage意为“挣取旅费”。
15. D 从句意来分析,空格后为原因,空格前为结果。从所给的三个选项来看,都表示原因,但是A项为连词,其后应接从句。B、C两项都为介词短语,表示原因,其后接名词,与它同义的短语还有owing to,as a result of。
16. B account for sth. 为固定短语,意为“说明……的理由,是……的原因”。
17. D on account of“由于”,句意:由于开会迟到,这个秘书被公司解雇了。
18. C 本题考查名词在具体的语言环境中的应用。句意:我很快就会到,请耐心点。have a little time有一点时间;have a little rest休息一会儿,均与题意不符。
19. B be patient with“对……有耐心”,为固定搭配。
20. B accident意为“事故”;incident意为“事情(一般的小事)”;event意为“大事,事件”。
21. C 句意:玛丽当演员完全是出于偶然。by accident相当于accidentally或by chance,意为“偶然地,无意中地”。
22. C 句意:说实话,我在他演讲的过程中睡着了。to tell you the truth为固定短语,在句中作插入语。
23. A to be frank with you意为“说实在的”。
24. B 本题中care作名词,与take构成固定词组,take care of意为“照看,照料”,本题选项C有较大的干扰性,但是所填答案是用来修饰way的,应该用不定式。
25. B 在做本题时,首先应想到care后接不定式而不接动名词,排除C、D两项。而A项中see没有宾语,因此,应用被动式,使“I”成为see的逻辑宾语。句意:我不想被人看见同他在一起。
26. C 本题是一个强调句式,强调了句中的主语the present situation in poor areas。本题考查动词短语的意义辨析。answer for“负责,保证”;provide for“预防”;plan for“制订计划”,都不符合句子的意思。句意:当前贫困地区的形势要求更多的钱花费在教育和培训上。只有call for符合句意,意为“要求,需要”。
27. D 四个选项从语法、用法上都可以选择,但从意义上来看,A、B两项意为“为……提供或供应”,C项意为“向……展示”,D项意为“出价”,故只有offered符合题意。
28. A 前一空everything与change之间是被动关系,即“一切都变了”,而不是“在变”,故应用过去分词表示被动和完成,作宾语补足语。
29. B find sb. gone意为“发现某人不见了”。若用miss要用missing形式,若用lose要用lost形式。
30. D (be)contrary to…意为“与……相反”;本句句意:你所做的与医生的要求相反。
31. B 此处account for意为“解释”,C项的主语通常是人。
32. C A、B、D三项的结构均错误。
33. B care for意为“关心”;care about侧重于“在意”。
34. B show sb. around意为“带领某人参观”,后一空how表示operate的方式。
35. D 注意在回答有关mind的提问时,如果应答者不反对对方做某事,可以用No,not at all./ Certainly not. 等。Never mind. 不可用来回答关于mind的提问。
36. A be slow in表示“在……方面反应迟钝”;be patient with表示“对……有耐心”。
37. B to be honest说实话,常用作插入语。
38. A 考查动词短语辨析。句意:“他看上去像是陷入了深思,为什么?”“因为这部电影唤起了他童年时代的记忆。”call up“唤起”;pick up“捡起”;bring up“抚养”;take up“占据”。根据句意可知选A项。
39. B 句意:这些规则不允许选手走出圈外。admit承认;permit允许;limit限制;choose选择。根据句意可知选B项。
40. B 句意:我们偶然相遇并且自那以后我们成了好朋友。by mistake错误地;by accident偶然地,意外地;by oneself靠自己;by the way顺便说,顺便问一下。故选B项。
41. C 句意:不要那样盯着我看,那会使我很不舒服。由uneasy可知这里应用stare。故选C项。
42. A what与do with连用;how与deal with连用。
43. C A、B两项都不能接人作宾语,D项与题意不符。
44. C what to do with sth. 是不定式短语,选项中的it指句中的land。解答本题要注意语序。
45. A allow后接名词或动名词,若接复合宾语,则应用allow sb. to do结构,题中前一个allow用了被动语态。
46. B find sb. doing sth. 表示“发现某人做某事”。find可接带to的不定式作宾语补足语,表示“认为,觉得”,但不能接不带to的不定式。
47. D 分词的逻辑主语常为整个句子的主语。全句的主语为one,one与offer之间为被动关系。
48. B 在回答含有mind的提问时,多用否定形式。其他选项不符合语境。
49. A spot在这里用作动词,表示“发现”的意思。
50. C 句意:一个居民看到有一个男人坐在一辆车里看着爆炸发生,于是他给警察打了电话。考查spot的结构搭配和非谓语用法。spot作动词表示“发现,注意到”时,其后可以直接接宾语,也可以用于spot sb. doing sth. 结构,所以很容易排除A、D两项。watch的逻辑主语为a man,二者是主动关系,且sit和watch是同时发生的动作,故应该用现在分词。
51. A 句意:最近在工作上的压力可以对他的行为做出解释。account for导致,做出解释;pay for付……的款;stand for代表;leave for动身去……
52. C 句意:“请问我可以用一会儿你的电脑吗?”“用吧,我现在不用。”Come on加油;It depends视情况而定;Go ahead说吧,用吧,干吧;That’s great那太好了。
53. B 句意:这不是一个弄到更多水的便宜的方法,相反它有点贵。worse still更糟糕的是;on the contrary与此相反,正相反;in short简言之;in addition另外。由句意可知应选B项。
