试题分析: 小题1:C。根据后面的 to be having a good time 这个不定式的进行时只有 appear 和 pretend 这两个词能使用,再根据上下语境是“看起来”玩得很开心,而不是“假装”。 小题2:B。根据后面的“喊”和“没有回声”来判断答案,quiet是“寂静、没有声音”之意,而不能选calm(沉着、冷静)。 小题3:D。因为作者喊他女儿,没有听到应声,所以又“重复”了他的问题。 小题4:A。从前面的动作,“起身、跑出书房”,接着“进入”起居室。into是动态介词,此处相当于and went into。 小题5:B。从前面的动词 follow, watch 以及 as her little behind 判断,他女儿看到他,赶紧“拐入”洗澡间。 小题6:C。此处 corner 用作动词,表示“把…难住、走投无路”,因为他女儿进入卫生间,所以把他给“难住了”。 小题7:D。根据下一句的意思,他女儿没有听他的话,“拒绝”回来。 小题8:A。因为她是一个三岁的小女孩,她用她妈妈的唇膏打扮自己,怕爸爸骂她,所以“慢慢地”走到她爸爸跟前。 小题9:D。表示满脸都被唇膏“覆盖(涂)”。 小题10:A。因为是个三岁的小孩,所以说话是一个字一个字地嘣,他爸爸听到的是她所嘣出来的“每个字”的声音。 小题11:A。根据前面的 many times 来判断,她爸爸已经“告诉”她好多遍了。 小题12:D。根据上文作者没有办法,还是挑选了他说了很多遍的“老话”。 小题13:D。根据前后两个动作的顺序,在放松“之前”,我看了看她毛衣上的“字”。 小题14:B。因为大人看小孩是居高临下,即往“下”看。 小题15:B。根据后面的 I’M A PERFECT LITTLE ANGEL! 这些都是大写的“字母”。 小题16:B。当作者看到他女儿那泪汪汪的眼(受委屈的样子),他感到他再次看到的不是一个不听话的坏女孩。 小题17:A。因为前半句说作者看到的不是一个不听话的坏女孩,再从毛衣上的字来看,所以认为她是一个有“价值”的小天使。 小题18:C。根据下一句中的 sweetheart,作者认为差点“伤害(毁坏)”了他女儿那颗天真、甜美的心。 小题19:C。因为上文叙述了作者女儿用她妈妈的唇膏涂在脸上,所以他们拍了一张看起来很“特殊的”照片。 小题20:D。根据后面的 chance 表示“得到”或“失去”机会,根据句意应该选 miss。 点评:本文叙述作者3岁的小女儿用她妈妈的化妆品想把自己打扮成一个小天使的故事。 从选项中可以看出,本大题主要还是考查了词汇的辨析与运用,但更加注重综合语言能力的运用,需要根据故事情节,了解词汇用法的同时,结合语境,做出准确的判断。 |

A jobless man applied for the position of “office boy”at Microsoft. The HR manager interviewed him and then watched him cleaning the floor as a test. “You are employed,” he said. “Give me your e-mail address and I’ll send you the application to fill in, as well as date when you may start.” The man replied,“But I don’t have a computer, neither an e-mail.” “I’ m sorry,” said the HR manager.“If you don’t have an e-mail,that means , you do not exist. And who doesn’t exist cannot have the job.” The man left with no hope at all. He didn"t know what to do with only ten dollars in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy 10 kg tomatoes. He then sold the tomatoes from door to door. In less than two hours, he managed to double his capital. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home happily with 60 dollars. The man realized that he could survive in this way, and started to go every day earlier, and return late. Thus, his money doubled or tripled every day. Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles. Five years later, the man is one of the biggest food retailers(销售商) in the US. He started to plan his family’s future and decided to have a life insurance. He called an insurance broker(经纪人)and chose a protection plan. When the conversation was concluded the broker asked him his e-mail. The man replied, “I don’t have an e-mail.” The broker answered curiously,“You don’t have an e-mail, and yet have managed to build an empire.

Watson entered Mr. Smith’s office. The Boss was a hard man. He fired people who didn’t do well without giving them a second chance. “Watson,” said Mr. Smith, “this past year your department hasn’t earned money. We’re going to drop that department. It’s finished. I’ m sorry, —but you’ll have to go.” “But, sir—if I just had a little more time. For the moment I need the job to keep my son at Riverside School.” “What’s that!” said the Boss. “Riverside! I didn’t know you had a boy there. That’s an expensive school for a man with your salary.” “I know, sir. But he likes it there so much! He’s a star trackman(田径运动员) and the best boxer in the school. The boys call him Champ(冠军) there.” The Boss sat perfectly still for a long time—a faraway (恍惚的) look in his eyes. Then, suddenly, he said, “We’ve got to close your department, Watson. But you’ll take over a new job in another department. It means longer hours—maybe more pay. Now get out. You’re here for life.” Watson got out, with surprise in his face. Then the Boss took a letter from the top drawer of his desk. It was Herbie’s last letter from Riverside School —written a few days before he died. He had read it over and over again with sick pain. The letter read: I can’t say the boys here are any nicer to me than the others were. I guess it’s the same everywhere when you’re a cripple (跛脚的人). But don’t worry about me, Dad. They’ve got a good chemistry department here. And there’s one boy here who is really great. He’s a track star and boxing champ and just tops in chemistry. The boys call him Champ. He made them stop throwing my books around. And he knocked a boy down who hit me. He is the best friend I ever had. Dad, when I grow up, I want to do something for Champ.

When Albert Einstein was young, he was a quiet child who spent much of his time alone. He was slow to talk and had difficulty in learning to read. When Albert was five years old, his father gave him a compass. Albert was filled with wonder when he discovered that the compass needle always pointed in the same direction ---- the north. He asked his father and his uncle what caused the needle to move. Their answers were difficult for Albert to understand. Yet he spent a lot of time thinking about them. He said later that he felt something must be hidden behind things. Albert didn’t like school. The German schools of that time were not pleasant. Students couldn’t ask questions. Albert said he felt as if he were in prison.. One day Albert told his uncle Jacob how much he hated school, especially mathematics. His uncle told him to solve mathematical problems by pretending to be a policeman. “You are looking for someone,” he said, “but you don’t know who he is. Call him X. Find him by using your mathematical tools.” Albert learned to love mathematics. He was studying the complex mathematics of calculus while all his friends were still studying simple mathematics. Instead of playing with his friends he thought about things such as “What would happen if people could travel at the speed of his light?” Albert wanted to teach mathematics and physics. He graduated with honors, but it was a pity that he could not get a teaching job. 小题1:According to Paragraph 2, we can learn that Albert Einstein ________.A.was interested in the compass | B.wanted to be a great scientist | C.was not clever enough | D.didn’t like thinking by himself | 小题2:Why did Albert Einstein hate school?A.He couldn’t play with his friends there | B.Students were not allowed to ask questions. | C.The schools were like prisons at that time | D.He had to learn mathematics that he didn’t like. | 小题3:What does the underlined word ‘complex’ probably mean?A.Useful | B.Difficult | C.Boring | D.Interesting | 小题4:We can learn from the passage that ________.A.Einstein became a mathematics teacher after graduation | B.Einstein gradually loved mathematics with his uncle’s help. | C.Einstein’s uncle was a policeman. | D.Einstein liked playing with other children. |
