Ⅱ.完形填空
My
husband
Jeff
and
I
moved
into
our
new
home
in
Scottsbluff
last
year
just
before
Christmas.
I
did
not
have
the
16
or
energy
to
carry
out
my
traditional
Christmas
decorating
and
baking
activities.
What
was
the
point,
anyway
It
was
going
to
be
a
17
Christmas
after
all.
18
,
the
neighborly
nature
of
west
Nebraska
residents
started
to
trickle
(陆续来临)
in.
There
was
a
19
on
the
door
one
evening.
It
was
Jeff’s
new
colleague,
John
Smith,
and
his
wife,
Phyllis.
The
Smiths
had
stopped
by
to
20
us
to
town
with
a
loaf
of
homemade
bread.
They
pointed
out
a
21
on
the
porch
(门廊).
Apparently
the
doorbell
wasn’t
working
in
the
cold
snowy
weather
and
we
had
22
a
visit
from
the
Browns,
our
across-the-street
neighbors,
who
brought
us
a
Christmas
card
and
more
Christmas
cookies.
The
23
feelings
brought
by
these
thoughtful
gestures
lasted
longer
than
the
food.
As
Jeff
and
I
were
clearing
pre-Christmas
24
from
our
driveway,
Ernie
Guzman
came
over
from
next
door
to
25
us
to
dig
out.
Then,
we
received
an
invitation
to
26
a
Christmas
Eve
meal
with
our
neighbors,
Ernie
and
Nancy
Sommer,
and
their
27
—a
90-year-old
lady,
who
also
had
no
family
in
the
immediate
area
with
whom
to
spend
the
holiday.
Our
Christmas
Eve
was
quite
merry,
thanks
to
our
28
.
Our
Christmas
morning
29
was
special,
thanks
to
the
Smiths’
gift
of
bread.
I
was
so
30
for
these
gestures
of
welcome,
especially
during
the
holidays.
This
year,
we
were
again
unable
to
be
with
our
families
for
Christmas.
The
31
and
work
schedules
just
made
things
too
difficult.
32
that
sense
of
Christmas
isolation
(孤立)
all
too
well,
we
decided
to
try
to
round
up
some
other
folks
who
were
33
in
the
holidays.
Lonely
people
are
all
around
us,
but
most
of
us
34
notice
them.
Just
take
a
look
around
you.
Sometimes,
the
smallest
35
gesture
can
make
a
world
of
difference.

How
to
eat
healthfully
can
be
especially
complex
for
working
women
who
often
have
neither
the
desire
nor
the
time
to
cook
for
themselves
(or
for
anyone
else).
Registered
dietitian
(营养专家)
Barhara
Morrissey
suggests
that
a
few
simple
rules
can
help.
“Go
for
nutrient-dense
foods,”she
suggests,“foods
that
contain
a
multiple
of
nutrients.
For
example,
select
whole
wheat
bread
as
a
breakfast
food,
rather
than
coffee
cake.
Or
drink
orange
juice
rather
than
orange
drink,
which
contains
only
a
small
percentage
of
real
juice—the
rest
is
largely
colored
sugar
water.
You
just
can’t
compare
the
value
of
these
foods；
the
nutrient-dense
ones
are
so
superior.”she
emphasizes.
Morrissey
believes
that
variety
is
not
only
the
spice
of
life—it’s
the
foundation
of
a
healthful
diet.
Diets
which
are
based
on
one
or
two
foods
are
not
only
virtually
impossible
to
keep
up
the
strength,
they
can
be
very
harmful,
she
says,
because
nutrients
aren’t
supplied
in
sufficient
amounts
or
balance.
According
to
Morrissey,
trying
to
find
a
diet
that
can
cure
your
illnesses,
or
make
you
a
superwoman
is
a
fruitless
search.
As
women,
many
of
us
are
too
concerned
with
staying
thin,
she
says,
and
we
believe
that
vitamins
are
some
kinds
of
magic
cures
to
replace
food.
“We
need
carbohydrates,
protein
and
fat—they
are
like
the
wood
in
the
fireplace.
The
vitamins
and
minerals
are
like
the
match,
the
spark,
for
the
fuel,”she
explains,
“We
need
them
all,
but
in
a
very
different
proportion.
And
if
the
fuel
isn’t
there,
the
spark
is
useless.”

You’ve
probably
read
the
books.
You’ve
probably
seen
the
movies.
But
have
you
heard
the
music
The
latest
Harry
Potter
news
is
that
bands
have
been
forming
to
play
what
is
called
“wizard
rock”
or
sometimes
just
“wrock”.
The
new
kind
of
music
began
when
Joe
De
George
and
his
brother
Paul
decided
that
the
characters
from
Harry
Potter
would
make
a
great
band.
Ron
on
guitar,
Hermione
on
bass,
Hagrid
on
drums
and
Harry
singing
up
front
would
make
for
an
excellent
group.
In
one
day,
the
brothers
wrote,
practiced
and
performed
six
songs
about
life
at
Hogwarts.
After
the
first
performance,
Paul
decided
that
“we’re
Harry
and
the
Potters.”
Wizard
rock
is
pretty
much
what
it
sounds
like:
rock‘n’roll
inspired
by
and
set
in
the
world
of
Harry
Potter.
The
De
Georges
started
a
trend.
Today,
there
are
dozens
of
wizard-rock
bands:
the
Whomping
Willows,
the
Remus
Lupins
and
the
Moaning
Myrtles
to
name
a
few.
Rockers
dress
like
Hogwarts
students
and
play
at
conventions
(大会)
and
festivals.
People
who
like
Harry
Potter
think
wizard
rock
music
is
perfect.
The
songs
can
be
funny,
but
the
music
is
not
a
joke.
It’s
serious.
Just
ask
the
De
George
brothers.
They’ve
played
more
than
500
shows
in
49
states.
They
dress
in
Hogwarts
house
colors,
and
their
hit
songs
are
inspired
by
characters
from
the
books:
Save
Ginny
Weasley
and
Voldemort
Can’t
Stop
the
Rock!
The
themes
of
their
music
are
the
same
as
the
themes
of
Rowling’s
books:
love
and
friendship,
upset
and
struggle.
Wizard
rock
is
just
one
more
spin-off
(衍生品)
in
the
Harry
Potter
craze.
Two
years
after
J.K.
Rowling
published
her
last
book
in
the
series,
Potter
popularity
continues
to
grow.
There
are
Potter
conventions
and
Potter
clubs
that
try
to
get
kids
and
grown-ups
to
help
fight
hunger,
for
example.
And
the
fact
that
they
may
do
it
while
humming
“Wizard
Chess”
or
“Platform
9”makes
those
meetings
fun.

rock.

only

has
created
another
hit
about

People
with
simple
names
enjoy
quicker
career
advancement
because
hard-to-pronounce
names
inspire
negative
reactions
from
superiors
a
study
has
found.
Researchers
found
that
a
“name
pronunciation
effect”played
a
major
role
in
how
people
were
perceived
(感知)
by
colleagues
and
friends.
The
team
of
American
and
Australian
scientists
concluded
that
the
easier
a
person’s
name
was
to
say,
the
better
their
success
was
in
the
workplace
and
the
quicker
they
were
promoted.
Their
study,
published
in
the
Journal
of
Experimental
Social
Psychology,
also
found
a
simple
name
improved
people’s
ability
to
make
new
friends.
Dr
Simon
Laham,
from
Melbourne
University,
who
led
the
study,
said
people
with
simple
names
were
generally
judged
more
positively.
“The
effect
is
not
due
merely
to
the
length
of
a
name
or
how
foreign-sounding
or
unusual
it
is,
but
rather
how
easy
it
is
to
pronounce,”he
said.
Dr
Adam
Alter,
a
co-author
from
New
York
University’s
Stern
School
of
Business,
added,
“People
simply
aren’t
aware
of
the
subtle
effect
that
names
can
have
on
their
judgments.”
In
their
study,
mainly
conducted
in
the
field,
the
team
investigated
the
way
names
can
influence
a
person’s
impressions
and
decision-making.
They
looked
at
dozens
of
surnames
from
different
nationalities
of
about
500
university
student
volunteers
from
Anglo,
Asian,
and
European
backgrounds
and
a
field
of
500
lawyers
in
America.
The
team
found
that
people
with
more“pronounceable”
names
were
more
likely
to
win
political
office.
Meanwhile,
they
found
that
American
lawyers
with
easier
sounding
names
were
promoted
faster
within
their
law
firms.
The
findings
add
weight
to
the
previous
research
which
suggested
that
company
stocks
with
simpler
names
outperformed
more
complex
business
names
immediately
after
they
appear

注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
A
technical
secondary
school
in
Nanjing,
Jiangsu
Province,
planned
to
order
Korean-style
school
uniforms
for
students,
but
parents
were
not
for
the
move,
believing
that
the
new
uniforms
looked
too
good
and
would
encourage
early
romances
among
the
students,
the
Jinling
Evening
Paper
reported
on
Monday.
Parents
“My
daughter
was
so
excited
about
the
Korean-style
uniform,
saying
it’s
her
dream
to
wear
a
miniskirt
to
school
every
day,”
a
mom
surnamed
Cheng
complained.“My
daughter
also
called
her
classmates
to
talk
about
how
handsome
the
boys
looked
in
the
uniforms!”
Cheng
looked
on
the
Internet
and
found
that
most
Korean
schoolboy
uniforms
are
similar
to
western
suits.
“They
are
so
handsome!
My
daughter
is
a
fan
of
Korean
fashion；that’s
why
she
is
crazy
about
the
uniforms!”Cheng
said,“If
the
students
wear
such
beautiful
uniforms,
how
can
they
study
well
I
prefer
the
sportswear
uniforms
which
make
me
think
of
healthy
and
positive
thinking.”
School
“The
students
dislike
the
present
uniforms,
so
the
school
took
advice
from
the
students
last
November,
knowing
that
most
students
prefer
Korean
or
Japanese-style
school
uniforms.
We
know
cities
like
Shanghai
and
Guangzhou
have
changed
their
sports-wear
school
uniforms
to
styles
in
fashion.”an
employee
surnamed
Lin
said.
“However,
we
had
to
give
up
the
plan
because
many
parents
are
strongly
against
it.
Some
parents
think
it’s
just
a
way
for
the
school
to
make
money,
and
others
think
the
new
uniforms
will
take
students’
attention
away
from
their
studies.”Lin
said.
When
asked
about
the
possibility
of
problems
with
early
romances
between
students
because
of
the
fashionable
uniforms,
Lin
said
they
hadn’t
considered
it.
He,
however,
agreed
that
the
Korean-style
uniforms
make
the
students
look
more
charming.
Students
The
disappointment
of
the
students
is
beyond
doubt
at
the
school’s
final
decision.
They
think
the
sports-wear
uniforms
make
them
look
androgynous
(难分性别的).
They
said
the
Korean-style
uniforms
have
many
advantages,
such
as
raising
interest
in
class；
lifting
confidence；
improving
solidarity
(团结)
and
creating
good
temperaments
(气质).
As
for
concerns
about
romance,
the
students
believe
that
love
is
love
and
bears
no
relationship
to
the
uniforms.
Education
department
“We
don’t
have
a
unified
(统一的)standard
for
school
uniforms.
The
schools
can
choose
their
own
styles.
Either
sports-wear
or
Korean-style
uniforms
are
OK,”an
official
from
the
Nanjing

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
答案与解析
Ⅰ.
1.
D
make
up
an
excuse编造借口；当failure的意思是“失败的尝试或事物”时，通常用作可数名词。
2.
B
句意：从她脸上的笑容来判断，我们就能知道她今天精神状态不错。in
good
spirits
精神状态好，情绪好，与语境相符。
3.
A
考查动词词义辨析。句意：医生们正在进行研究，想弄清楚人们戒烟时身体方面的反应。quit停止，放弃，quit
smoking戒烟。decline减少，下降；prevent阻止；reserve保留，预订。
4.
B
考查动词assist的用法。assist的常用句型为：assist
sb.
with
sth.，
assist
sb.
in
doing
sth.和assist
sb.
to
do
sth.，故B项正确。
5.
B
句意：她(当时)没必要那么匆忙，因为有足够的时间。needn’t
have
done表示过去没必要做某事而做了，由此可知，句子讲述的是过去的一件事情，而且句中的time是不可数名词，故选项B正确。
6.
C
句意：跳出思维定式是一种很强的能帮助你成功地适应新情况的能力。adapt
to适应，与语境相符。make使……；accompany陪伴；achieve实现，均与语境不符。
7.
D
句意：我对他如此熟悉以至于我一拿起电话就能听出他的声音。instantly意思是“一……就”，引导一个时间状语从句，与语境相符。
8.
B
考查独立主格结构。这是李白的诗句“举头望明月，低头思故乡”的英译。因为动词raise和其逻辑主语eyes、bend和其逻辑主语head之间皆为动宾关系，故都用过去分词形式，构成两个独立主格结构作状语。
9.D
考查介词短语辨析。句意：为了支持大学的学习，除了他亲戚的帮助，他还做了兼职工作。apart
from除了……还……；regardless
of不管，不顾；instead
of代替；but
for要不是。
10.
B
考查分词作状语。devote…to…献身于。devote与主语之间存在逻辑上的被动关系，逗号前的部分相当于“As
he
was
devoted
to
his
research”；而lost与caught后应接介词in，故选B项。
11.
C
考查动词词义辨析。句意：我的老师经常告诉我们，懒惰的人永远一事无成。accomplish实现，完成，符合句意。allocate分配；advocate拥护，支持，提倡；
predict预见。
12.
B
句意：2003年我从这所大学毕业。分析句子结构可知，本题考查的是强调句式，被强调部分是句子的时间状语。
13.
C
句意：——你觉得下周你的期末考试会怎样？——我希望能比上学年做得好。wish后接的宾语从句常用虚拟语气，根据语境可知，从句讲述的是将来的一种愿望，故从句谓语部分用“could+动词原形”。
14.
D
句意：——接下来的几天你有计划吗？——是的，如果可能的话，我打算和我的女儿一起去海滩玩玩。选项D的意思是“如果可能的话”，相当于“If
it
is
possible”，符合句意。选项A的意思是“如果有过的话，如果发生过的话”；选项B的意思是“如果忙的话”；选项C的意思是“如果不这样的话”，均与语境不符。
15.
A
考查情景交际。句意：——请你关上窗户好吗？——好的。With
pleasure.表示“非常乐意”，符合语境。Go
ahead.表示“干吧，用吧，行，请便”；That’s
OK.表示“不用谢”或者“没关系”。
16.
B
作者和丈夫刚刚搬家到Scottsbluff，
有许多的事情要打理，故应是“没有时间和精力”来准备圣诞节。
17.
C
根据倒数第四段中…who
also
had
no
family
in
the
immediate
area
with
whom
to
spend
the
holiday.以及最后一段第一句可知，选项C正确。本题易误选D。usual通常的，惯常的，根据下文的讲述可知，那次圣诞节与以往不一样，故选项D不正确。
18.
D
此处与上文构成转折关系，与本来预料的情况相反。however但是，与语境相符。选项A的意思是“因此”；选项B的意思是“同时”；选项C的意思是“不知怎么地”，均与语境不符。
19.
C
根据下文Apparently
the
doorbell
wasn’t
working
in
the
cold
snowy
weather…可知应是“敲门”。选项A的意思是
“卡片”；选项B的意思是“招牌，符号”；选项D的意思是“便条”，均与语境不符。
20.
A
作者是刚刚搬到Scottsbluff，
故史密斯夫妇应是带着自家做的一条面包来表示欢迎。本题易误选invite邀请，与语境不符。
21.
B
他们指着门廓里的一个package(包裹)，与下文包裹中的东西(a
Christmas
card
and
more
Christmas
cookies)相呼应。本题易误选mail邮件，根据下文可以排除。
22.
D
根据上文可知，作者是错过了(missed)布朗夫妇的一次拜访。本题易误选A。选项A的意思是“忘记”，从文章中看不出作者和布朗夫妇在之前有约定，故不可能有忘记之说。
23.
C
由这些体贴的举止所带来的温暖的(warm)感觉比起食物来持续得更久。本题易误选A。作者讲述的这件事的基调是温情，故deep“深厚的”不恰当。
24.
A
作者夫妇正在清除(住宅前的)车道上圣诞节前的积雪(snow)。本题易误选B。选项B的意思是“垃圾”，(住宅前的)车道上有垃圾不合常理。
25.
B
隔壁的Ernie
Guzman过来帮忙(help)铲雪。选项A的意思是“教”；选项C的意思是“催促”；选项D的意思是“禁止”，均与语境不符。
26.
A
share
sth.
with
sb.与某人分享某物。本题易误选C。文章此处表达的意思是“Ernie
and
Nancy
Sommer邀请作者夫妇共进圣诞晚餐”，而taste是品尝的意思，故选项C不正确。
27.
B
Ernie
and
Nancy
Sommer还邀请了另一位客人(guest)。选项A的意思是“姨；姑”；选项C的意思是“女仆”；选项D的意思是“搭挡”，均与文章不符。
28.
D
根据文章倒数第四段可知，作者夫妇应是与他们的邻居(neighbors)
Ernie
and
Nancy
Sommer以及另一位女士共进圣诞晚餐。选项A的意思是“家属；人们”；选项B的意思是“亲戚”；选项C的意思是“同事”，均与语境不符。
29.
C
根据下文thanks
to
the
Smiths’
gift
of
bread可知，此处表达的意思应是：圣诞早餐(breakfast)很特别。选项A的意思是“拜访”；选项B的意思是“问候”，均与下文联系不紧密。
30.
D
作者对于人们的欢迎表示感激(grateful)。选项A的意思是“抱歉的”；选项B的意思是“渴望的”；选项C的意思是“准备好的”，均与语境不符。
31.
A
今年因为距离(distance)和工作日程使得作者夫妇又不能和家人一起过圣诞节。倒数第四段中…who
also
had
no
family
in
the
immediate
area
with
whom
to
spend
the
holiday.对于选择A项是一个提示。选项B的意思是“费用”；选项C的意思是“季节”；选项D的意思是“情况”，在文中均难以看出与之有关的暗示。
32.
C
因为非常了解(know)圣诞的孤立感，所以……
33.
A
因为非常了解(know)圣诞的孤立感，所以作者他们决定把其他的在假日中独自一人的(alone)人们聚在一起。本题易误选B。文章讲述的是在作者现在生活的这个地方孤独的人是如何在圣诞节日期间得到温情的，而选项B的意思是“繁忙的”，与语境不符。
34.
B
孤独的人在我们周围，但我们很少(seldom)注意到他们。句中的连接词but是解题的关键。选项A的意思是“总是”；选项C的意思是“最后”；选项D的意思是“通常”，均与语境不符。
35.
D
有时一个小的善意的(kind)行为也能够带来很大的不同。选项A的意思是“小心的”；选项B的意思是“耐心的”；选项C的意思是“模糊的”，均与语境不符。
36.
B
推理判断题。由四则广告的标题和内容即可判断，他们都是在招聘特定岗位的职员。故选B项。
37.
A
细节理解题。根据四则广告给出的工资比较即可判断。
38.
C
推理判断题。由Sewing
Machinist
wanted广告最后一段中…come
over
and
pick
up
an
application
from…即可判断C项正确。
39.
C
推理判断题。从第一段的…have
neither
the
desire
nor
the
time
to
cook
for
themselves…(即没有愿望也没有时间为她们自己做饭)可以知道职业女性忙，对做饭不感兴趣，因此C项正确。
40.
B
推理判断题。橘汁和橘汁饮料的区别在第二段中曾经谈到过，即橘汁饮料…contains
only
a
small
percentage
of
real
juice—the
rest
is
largely
colored
sugar
water.(……只含很少比例的真正橘汁——其他大都是加了色素的糖水)。因此，相对而言，橘汁是“natural，
nutritious
and
prepared
from
oranges”(天然的、有营养的、直接从橘子中来的饮品)。
41.
A
细节理解题。a
fruitless
search意思为“没有结果的努力”，文中第四段谈到试图寻找一种可以包治百病，又能使你成为超人的食谱是徒劳的。因此，a
fruitless
search表示“毫无结果的努力”。fruitless的引申意义为“没有结果的，徒劳的”。
42.
D
细节理解题。许多女性想当然地认为维他命是一种食物的代替品。文中第四段提到As
women，
many
of
us
are
too
concerned
with
staying
thin，
she
says，
and
we
believe
that
vitamins
are
some
kinds
of
magic
cures
to
replace
food.。
43.
B
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中Today，
there
are
dozens
of
wizard-rock
bands:
the
Whomping
Willows，
the
Remus
Lupins
and
the
Moaning
Myrtles
to
name
a
few.可知。
44.
C
细节理解题。根据第四段第二、三句可知。
45.
D
细节理解题。根据第四段第一句People
who
like
Harry
Potter
think
wizard
rock
music
is
perfect.可推知选项D是错误的。
46.
C
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段描述，巫师摇滚只是《哈利·波特》其中一个副产品，两年前罗琳写完这个系列的最后一本书后，《哈利·波特》受欢迎的程度依旧在增长；而且人们以《哈利·波特》的名字创办了很多俱乐部，还用以鼓励孩子们和成年人克服饥饿的威胁等。由以上事实可以推出《哈利·波特》依旧受到人们的喜爱。
47.
A
细节理解题。根据文章第二段可知。
48.
D
细节理解题。根据文章第五段可知，人们对名字简单的人普遍持更正面的看法，而不是拥有简单名字的人对他人持更正面的看法。
49.
D
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段第一句话可知。
50.
B
词义猜测题。文章倒数第二段内容为“研究小组发现，名字更容易读的人更容易走上政治道路，名字更容易读的美国律师在事务所里升职更快。”据此可知，最后一段表达的意思是“这些发现进一步证明了先前的研究，此前一项研究表明，名字易读的公司股票在上市后，比名字复杂难读的股票表现更好。”

After-class
Activities
Nowadays,
after-class
activities
are
becoming
more
and
more
popular
in
high
schools.
In
our
school,
there
are
various
kinds
of
activities,
for
example,
arts
and
sports.
We
enjoy
them
very
much.
Playing
football
and
reading
stories
are
my
favorites
which
do
me
lots
of
good.
Besides
building
my
body
and
enriching
my
knowledge,
they
also
free
me
from
the
heavy
work
of
study.
Here
I
have
some
suggestions.
To
students,
they’d
better
choose
the
activities
which
interest
them
and
suit
them；
to
schools,
they
should
organize
more
activities
for
students
and
leave
students
more
time
for
activities
by
giving
them
less
homework.
Dear
friends,
please
actively
take
part
in
after-class
activities,
which
will
not
only
make
your
school
life
colorful,
but
also
improve
your
learning.
