解析:

這是一篇夾敘夾議的文章。作者通過自己晚上在黑暗中找燈這件小事,想到世上人人都可能處于“黑暗”之中,如果我們都能用自己的“愛心”之燈去溫暖他人,世界將變的更加美好。

1.D. 根據(jù)上文晚上頭頂?shù)臒魤牧,可知我找尋鑰匙孔有困難,故選D. difficult。

2.A. 根據(jù)下文可知,“我”已經(jīng)把門打開。Manage to do sth. 表成功地做某事。

3.B. 根據(jù)文意可知,由于晚上沒有燈,“我”只好摸索前進,只有felt表此意。

4.D. 根據(jù)“but no switch”可以推知,“我”認為那里曾經(jīng)安裝了開關(guān),因此在那里摸索,結(jié)果并沒有,只有once能表示此意。

5.C. 上文提到這是一個旅館,自己是暫時住到這里,排除了A項。從下文一句when I deposited my luggage可推知C項正確,注意spot此處意為“注意到,看到,發(fā)現(xiàn)”。

6.B. 從上文remembered可知,“我”在那天早些時候發(fā)現(xiàn)有開關(guān),現(xiàn)在仍然記得,故選B。

7.B. 因為是晚上,所以選擇dark。

8.A. 根據(jù)文意排除了C、D。句子的主語是nothing而非lamp,故動詞operated不正確。因此,只有A項正確。

9.B. 根據(jù)文意和下文curtains可推知,“我”現(xiàn)在處在黑暗中,只能拉開窗簾,靠外部街道上的光來找到另一盞燈,故選B。

10.C. 根據(jù)文意和下文slowly across the room可知,“我”現(xiàn)在摸索著去拉窗簾。Make one’s way意為“前往,到……去”,符合文意。

11.B. 根據(jù)文意和下文actually可知,我最終找到了燈,故選until。

12.C. 根據(jù)主語a desk lamp和副詞actually可知,這盞燈亮了。此意只有work可以表達。

13.A. 根據(jù)文意,“我”此時心有所感,世界有時是多么黑暗,而燈是如此必要!can可以表示“有時會……,時而可能”,故選A項。

14.D. 根據(jù)文意和下句the light that shines from people可知,人們“內(nèi)心的燈光”比實際的燈光更有必要。Phsical在此意為“物質(zhì)的,有形的”。

15.B. 由文意可知,我們心中應(yīng)該有“愛和信任”之燈,才能戰(zhàn)勝discouragement、sadness、fear,故選love。

16.A. 由文意和dark可知,有時我們中許多人會處在黑暗和孤獨的世界,故選lonely。

17.D. 由文意可知,當(dāng)人們失望、難過和害怕時會需要幫助,因此選D項need。

18.B. 由上文So let your light shine.可知,作者在鼓勵我們要主動去幫助別人,故選B。

19.C. 細心揣摩文意可知,我們的愛心之燈在茫茫的黑暗中是如此渺小,好象是森林中的一只蠟燭,故選no more than正確。

20.A. 由文意可知,黑暗再強大,也沒有足夠的力量撲滅小如蠟燭的“愛心之燈”,故選A項put out最佳。

Nowadays women are playing a much more important part in society. More and more women are working like teachers, scientists and even leader.

Professor Martin's report says that children who attend a number of different schools, because their parents have to move around the country, probably make slow progress in their studies. There are also signs, says Professor Martin, that an unusually large number of such children are mentally affected.

  The professor says, "It's true, my personal feeling is that children should stay in one school. However, our findings are based on research and not on any personal feelings that I or my assistants may have on the subject."

  Captain Thomas James, an Army lecturer for the past 20 years and him self a father of two, said," I've never heard such rubbish. Taking me for ex ample, no harm is done to the education of my children who change schools regularly-if they keep to the same system, as in our army schools. In my experience, I've known quite a few of them-Army children are as well-adjusted(調(diào)整)as any others, if not more so. What the professor doesn't appear to appreciate is the fact that in such situations children will adapt(適應(yīng))much better than grown-ups."

  When this was put to Professor Martin, he said that at no time had his team suggested that all such children were backward or mentally affected in some way, but simply that in their experience there was a clear tendency(傾向).

  "Our findings show that while the very bright child can deal with regular changes without harming his or her general progress in studies, the majority of children suffer from constantly having to enter a new learning situation."

  1.According to this passage, Professor Martin's personal feeling_______.

    A. is the opposite of what his report has shown

    B. is in a way supported by his research

    C. has played a big part in his research

    D. is based on his own experience as a child

 

  2.From the passage, we can conclude that Captain James's children_________.

    A. have been affected by changing schools

    B. go to ordinary State schools

    C. can get used to the Army school education

    D. discuss their education regularly with their father

  

  3.About children and grown-ups, Captain James says that children______.

    A. are generally well-adjusted

    B. are usually less experienced

    C. can adapt much more easily

    D. can deal with changes quickly

  

  4.According to Professor Martin, _________ suffer from changing schools regularly.

    A. Army children

    B. quite a few children

    C. bright children

    D. few children
