I tried to stop him, tried to   42   him understand that my watch kept perfect time, but he did not listen to me and pushed the regulator.

My beautiful watch began to gain time. It   43   faster and faster day by day. By the end of the second month it   44   all the clocks and watches of the town far behind.

解析:

本文是根據(jù)美國(guó)著名作家(Mark Twain)馬克??吐溫的故事改編的一篇記敘文。故事講述的是“一塊精美、走時(shí)準(zhǔn)確手表最終成為廢物”的全過程。選項(xiàng)設(shè)計(jì)上側(cè)重訓(xùn)練學(xué)生的英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)感和詞義辨析能力。

36.C    for certain“無疑地,確定地”,是一個(gè)固定用法,相當(dāng)于without doubt, for sure;for certainty應(yīng)為for a certainty才對(duì)。

37.A    keep time“走時(shí)準(zhǔn)確”,是習(xí)慣用法,tell time“報(bào)時(shí)”,observe time “守時(shí)”,strike表“鳴鐘”時(shí),常用結(jié)構(gòu)為“strike the hours(每小時(shí)報(bào)時(shí)一次); strike 12這種剛敲12點(diǎn)”。

38.B    wind sth. up“上(鐘或表)的弦;上發(fā)條”。

39.D    set a clock / watch “對(duì)鐘;對(duì)表;將鬧鐘等定時(shí)”。

40.A    as用來引導(dǎo)表原因的狀語(yǔ)從句。

41.D    從上文中的be pushed up得知,手表的時(shí)間慢了四分鐘,而不是快了四分鐘。

42.C    make sB.do sth. / get sB.to do sth. “使某人做某事”,此題之后接了省to的不定式understand,所以用make。

43.A    (指鐘表)快(慢)于正確的時(shí)間,常用gain或lose。如:This watch neither gains nor loses.這表不快也不慢。go只表示“鐘表在走(時(shí))”。

44.B    leave sth. far behind“使某事處于落后狀態(tài)”,A、C、D都是不及物動(dòng)詞。

45.C    表轉(zhuǎn)折,意為:我原指望他迅速將表校對(duì),可是他要我一周后才來拿。However是副詞,常用逗號(hào)隔開。

46.C    slow作動(dòng)詞,slow down“減慢速度”。

47.A    通過上下文得知作者已經(jīng)去過了兩個(gè)修表匠,現(xiàn)在要去第三個(gè)修表匠那兒。

48.B    took sth. to pieces “拆開,拆散”,在這里指把表拆成零碎。broke“打碎”; tore“撕毀”; cut“切碎”。

49.D    介詞in表示“從當(dāng)時(shí)算起再過多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間”。

50.B    but前有實(shí)義動(dòng)詞do時(shí),but后要接省to的動(dòng)詞不定式。

51.A    keep(on)doing sth., 意為“不停地做……”。taking “拿去”;bringing“拿來”; fetching“去拿來”; carrying“提起,拿起”,無方向性。

52.B    tell the time 指“能夠看懂鐘表上的時(shí)間;看鐘表等而說出時(shí)間”。不要受中文影響而錯(cuò)用understand。

53.D    get 是連系動(dòng)詞,其后要接形容詞作表語(yǔ),可排除A、C,再?gòu)倪壿嬌戏治,可排除B項(xiàng)。

54.C    cost表示“某物花費(fèi)多少錢”,有“等價(jià)交換”之意。

55.A    another表示“另一個(gè)(與之不同的一個(gè))”;the other表“兩個(gè)當(dāng)中的另一個(gè)”;one表“數(shù)量(一個(gè))”;one more“買了一個(gè)不夠,還要再買一個(gè)”。
