2.off 句意：他希望表演能让观众满意，表演者的付出能得到回报。pay

6.that 句意：近年地球越来越暖的事实让许多科学家担心。从句“the

might
use
the

设法做某事。
12.to 句意：你应该用适合自己学习情况的学习方式。be

13.With 介词with
可表示同时性和伴随情况。表示“随着……”时，with后接复合结构。
14.in；that 句意：我很赞成你的建议那就是我们应该在这个工程上花费更多的时间。in
favour
of“赞成”；第二个空为that引导的同位语从句。

When

Ⅳ.语法填空
As
a
man
was
passing
some
elephants,
he
suddenly
stopped,
confused
by
the
fact
that
these
huge
creatures
were
being
held
by
only
a
small
rope
__1__
(tie)
to
their
front
leg.
No
chains,
no
cages.
__2__
was
obvious
that
the
elephants
could,
at
anytime,
break
__3__
from
their
bonds
but
for
some
reason,
they
did
not.
He
saw
a
trainer
nearby
and
asked
why
these
animals
just
stood
there
and
made
no
attempt
__4__
(get)
away.
“Well，”
__5__
trainer
said,
“when
they
are
very
young
and
much
__6__
(small),
we
use
the
same
size
rope
to
tie
them
and,
at
that
age,
it's
enough
to
hold
them.
As
they
grow
up,
they
are
conditioned
to
believe
the
rope
__7__
still
hold
them,
so
they
never
try
to
run
free.”
The
man
was
amazed.
These
animals
could
at
any
time
escape
from
their
bonds
but
__8__
they
believed
they
couldn't,
they
were
stuck
right
where
they
were.
Like
the
elephants,
how
many
of
us
go
through
life
__9__
(hang)
onto
a
belief
that
we
cannot
do
something,
__10__
(simple)
because
we
failed
at
it
once
before?
Failure
is
part
of
learning;
we
should
never
give
up
the
struggle
in
life.

答案
Ⅲ.完形填空
作者讲述了在自己心情不好的一天给一个从事护士职业的朋友过生日而得到的感悟：生活总是为我们提供机会，让我们多迈出一步或者做一件对别人有影响的善事。
1．B 根据空格前的“I
felt
very
depressed
the
other
day.
The
weather
had
been
dark
and
rainy”可知，“我”的心情不好，positive意为“乐观的”，符合语境。
2．C 当“我”坐在书桌前的时候，记起今天是一个朋友的生日。故选C项。
3．C 根据空格前的“who
has
devoted
the
past
30
years
to
nursing”可知，她从事护士职业30年，说明她很喜欢自己的工作(work)。故选C项。
4．A 根据语境可知，此处用decided表示“我决定给她打个电话”。故选A项。
5．D 根据前面的“Sure
enough,
she
was
on
her
shift”可知，这是她的当班时间，她准备工作到晚上，故选D项。
6．A 此处表示“不会有太多的时间过生日”。many和few用来修饰或替代可数名词，故排除；little本身含有否定的意思，在此处可排除；故选much。
7．A “我”打电话给她，她听上去很高兴。故选A项。
8．B 参见上题解析。选B项。
9．C 此处表示“我没法去除这种感觉”，应用shake，表示“去除，摆脱”。故选C项。
10．D 此处用“Still”表明作者仍然感到沮丧，与文章开头相呼应。故选D项。
11．B “我”的心情沮丧，“我”尽力去清理掉这种心情，但是经过一天的时间，还是没能摆脱，最终“我”屈服了。finally“最后，终于”，故选B项。
12．A 根据空格前面的“My
friend's
grateful
smile
and
joyful
surprise”和空格后面的“I'd
done
the
right
thing”可知，朋友的神情让“我”确信自己做对了。convince意为“使确信”，符合语境。故选A项。
13．C 她的笑容和惊喜使“我”确信“我”做对了，这也是对“我”慷慨的回报(reward)。故选C项。
14．B 由前文的“a
single,
middle－aged
woman”和“she
didn't
have
family
in
town”可知，作者的朋友是孤独的。故选B项。
15．D 让这位孤独的朋友快乐的同时，又扫除了作者的沮丧，所以说“Making
her
day
had
made
my
own”。故选D项。
16．A 从句子的结构和语境看，此处应该用引导时间状语从句的连词，表示“当我们花费时间为别人努力做一些事情的时候”。故选A项。
17．C 参见上题解析。make
the
effort
to
do
sth.“努力做某事”。
18．B 根据空格前的“gives”可知，应用receives与gives相对应。故选B项。
19．A 生活总是为我们提供机会。opportunity意为“机会”，符合语境。故选A项。
20．A 生活总是为我们提供机会，让我们多迈出一步或者做一件对某人产生影响的善事。故选A项。
Ⅳ.语法填空
本文通过大象被绳子拴住却不挣脱的现象告诉我们：不要固步自封，不要因为担心失败而放弃拼搏。
1．tied 考查非谓语动词。大象仅由一根系在前腿的小绳拴住。rope
和
tie
之间是动宾关系，故此处用过去分词表被动。
2．It 考查代词。显而易见，大象在任何时候都能够挣脱绳子。分析句子成分可知，It
在句中作形式主语，that
引导的从句是真正的主语。
3．away 考查动词短语。break
away
from...“从……突然挣脱，从……逃脱”。
4．to
get 考查非谓语动词。他看见附近有位驯兽师，就问为什么这些动物只是站在那里而不试图逃跑呢？make
attempt
to
do
sth.
“试图做某事”。
5．the 考查冠词。这位驯兽师说：“当它们还年幼、(体型)尚较小时，我们使用同样大小的绳子拴住它们。”此处用定冠词
the
表示特指。
6．smaller 考查形容词比较级。much
修饰形容词比较级。
7．can 考查情态动词。当它们长大时，它们就习惯性地认为绳子依然能够拴住它们。此处用情态动词
can
表示一般的能力。
8．because 考查原因状语从句。这些大象在任何时候都能够挣脱绳子，但是因为它们认为不能，所以它们就待在原处。
9．hanging 考查非谓语动词。此处应用现在分词作伴随状语。
10．simply 考查副词。仅仅是因为我们曾经失败过吗？此处应用副词作状语。

attention
on
her
special
day.
__10__
feeling
a
little
depressed
myself,
I
tried
to
put
it
out
of
my
mind,
but
as
the
day
passed,
I
couldn't
shake
the
thought.
I
__11__
gave
in,
and
set
off
to
the
hospital
with
a
card,
a
cheese
cake,
and
some
balloons
that
evening.
My
friend's
grateful
smile
and
joyful
surprise
__12__
me
that
I'd
done
the
right
thing,
and
they
were
a
generous
__13__
for
the
little
effort
it
had
taken.
When
I
got
home,
I
realized
that
not
only
had
I
cheered
up
a
__14__
friend
on
her
birthday,
but
my
own
negative
feelings
had
also
disappeared.
Making
her
day
had
__15__
my
own!
Isn't
that
the
way
it
is
__16__
we
take
the
time
and
make
the
__17__
to
do
something
for
someone
else?
It's
just
like
the
saying，“Loving
kindness
is
twice
blessed;
it
blesses
him
who
gives,
and
him
who
__18__.”
Cheering
up
people
on
their
birthdays
isn't
the
only
thing
we
can
do
to
make
their
day.
Life
constantly
presents
us
with
__19__
to
take
an
extra
step
or
do
a
kind
deed
that
will
make
a
difference
to
__20__.
And
the
wonderful
thing
is
that
as
we
do,
it
changes
things
for
the
better
for
us
too.

As
a
man
was
passing
some
elephants,
he
suddenly
stopped,
confused
by
the
fact
that
these
huge
creatures
were
being
held
by
only
a
small
rope
__1__
(tie)
to
their
front
leg.
No
chains,
no
cages.
__2__
was
obvious
that
the
elephants
could,
at
anytime,
break
__3__
from
their
bonds
but
for
some
reason,
they
did
not.
He
saw
a
trainer
nearby
and
asked
why
these
animals
just
stood
there
and
made
no
attempt
__4__
(get)
away.
“Well，”
__5__
trainer
said,
“when
they
are
very
young
and
much
__6__
(small),
we
use
the
same
size
rope
to
tie
them
and,
at
that
age,
it's
enough
to
hold
them.
As
they
grow
up,
they
are
conditioned
to
believe
the
rope
__7__
still
hold
them,
so
they
never
try
to
run
free.”
The
man
was
amazed.
These
animals
could
at
any
time
escape
from
their
bonds
but
__8__
they
believed
they
couldn't,
they
were
stuck
right
where
they
were.
Like
the
elephants,
how
many
of
us
go
through
life
__9__
(hang)
onto
a
belief
that
we
cannot
do
something,
__10__
(simple)
because
we
failed
at
it
once
before?
Failure
is
part
of
learning;
we
should
never
give
up
the
struggle
in
life.

My
wife
and
I
go
to
theatre
whenever
we
have
time.
When
we
buy
tickets,
we
like
to
know
if
the
play
is
good
or
not.
When
a
new
play
opens,
we
usually
read
the
review
on
our
local
newspaper
to
get
information
about
it.
Last
week
a
new
comedy
opens
at
the
theatre.
The
newspaper
story
said
it
was
very
amused,
so
we
decided
to
go
on
Saturday
night.
My
wife
took
a
long
time
to
make
up
his
mind
what
to
wear
so
we
left
our
house
a
little
later.
By
the
time
we
arrived
there,
the
first
act
has
already
begun.
We
were
sorry
we
missed
part
of
the
play,
because
the
rest
of
it
was
very
funny.
The
money
of
the
ticket
was
worth
spending
it.
It
was
an
extremely
entertaining
comedy.
