解析:

(1)

難。考查情態(tài)動詞。因為他出身普通工人家庭,按照父親和周邊伙伴們的發(fā)展軌跡,他也應(yīng)該只能當建筑工人或警察,選擇should表示推測,可譯成“按理說應(yīng)該”,must太肯定,can表示可能性時一般不用于肯定句或表示“客觀的可能”,其他選項也都不對。

(2)

難。考查副詞。他想擺脫自己的宿命,或是想闖出來,選擇out可表示這層意思。

(3)

考查形容詞。Bobby從少年時期就開始演戲,但如同后來所知,他的演藝生涯一直不成功,因此此處可填good表示“不是一個好演員”。

(4)

考查形容詞。雖然不是一個好的演員,他還是希望能改變自己的人生“做一些使生活變得不同的東西”。

(5)

考查名詞。為了實現(xiàn)自己的夙愿,他去了好萊塢去碰碰運氣,“碰運氣”可使用meet(find)one's fortune表示,故此空選擇fortune。

(6)

考查代詞。本處是一個短語,make it有“成功”之意。

(7)

考查動詞。因為太想當一名演員,所以他自愿在自己開辦的一個表演單位坐出租和服務(wù)員的工作。

(8)

難?疾閯釉~。根據(jù)上下文的意思可知盡管他目前做的工作很辛苦,但他仍然執(zhí)著于自己選擇的事業(yè),選擇chosen符合句意。afforded“給與,提供”,respected“受尊敬的”,offered“提供”,含義重復(fù)或者與句意不符。

(9)

考查形容詞。由于弟弟被謀殺,他放棄了自己的工作(失業(yè)了),回到老地方,只有選擇old才符合意思。

(10)

考查動詞。這里意思是他寫了一部與他自己生活有關(guān)的戲劇!芭c……有關(guān)”,可使用be related to表示,因此此處選擇related。

(11)

考查名詞。上文已經(jīng)談到他的弟弟被謀殺,此處選擇killing即指此事。

(12)

考查動詞。這里是指好萊塢的一個制片人碰巧看到了這部戲!芭銮伞笔褂胔appen表示。

(13)

考查名詞。這里是指他漸漸有了名氣,reputation意思是“名氣,名望”,為最佳選項,influence“影響”,ambition“雄心”及success均不符合意思。

(14)

考查副詞。上文談到在1983年他失業(yè)過一次,因此這次是再一次失業(yè)。

(15)

考查連詞。正在他窮困潦倒時,一個導(dǎo)演跟他交上了朋友,when可表示“正當這時”的意思。

(16)

考查動詞。他們二人合作創(chuàng)作了劇本但被每一個攝影室給拒絕了,turn down有“拒絕,駁回”之意,為最佳答案。

(17)

考查副詞。盡管劇本被一次次駁回,但他對自己的作品有著強烈的信心,選擇strongly可反映他堅強的意志力。

(18)

難。考查動詞。由于在此之前一直沒有人賞識,因此他的電影是“悄悄地”被放映的,同時根據(jù)后面的quietly的排比手法也可選出答案。

(19)

考查形容詞。這里是指他一舉成名,“一舉成名”可用become an overnight success來表示。

(20)

  解析:難?疾槊~。這里是指“考慮能使工作做好的方法”,選擇way表示“方法”,manner使用單數(shù)時表示“方法,方式”,但選項C是復(fù)數(shù)形式,manners是“禮貌,規(guī)矩”之意。其他選項都沒有“方式,方法”的意思。

  文章大意:Bobby Moresco出身普通工人家庭,他想擺脫當建筑工人或警察的命運,希望能成為演員并克服了種種困難為之奮斗了數(shù)十年,最后終于成了一個著名的劇作家。

     I think we should try to find a happy memory, something to lift us up on those unpleasant days.
     I`m saying this because I think I just found mine!
     I had some work in Glasgow then. I was on a really   1   schedule, which meant I would have no time
for myself all day. I was having one of those days, when the train was completely   2   and the conversation
going on around me seemed to be particularly   3  . Besides, I had a bit of a headache.   4   quickly across
the station hall, I fished some   5   from my pocket. There was usually someone at the exit   6   the Big
Issue (a magazine that helps homeless folk earn a living). 
       7   the crowd parted ways at the bottom of the hall, I saw someone selling the Big Issue. She really
looked like she`d been sleeping   8  . Her clothes were   9   and she obviously hadn`t had a scrub up (擦洗)
for quite a while.
     As I  10  the exit, I saw that she was   11   from side to side. At first I thought she was trying to keep
  12   against the biting wind. But she wasn`t. She was moving in time to a  13 . I couldn't hear her, but I
could see her lips moving.
      When I got closer, I saw a white  14  hanging from her elbow and noticed that she had sunken eyes.
She was  15 , dirty and living on streets. I came closer and through the  16   of the traffic I could hear her

     I bought her last magazine for twice what I'd originally  18  . She thanked me, and  19  her belongings
and went tapping off along the pavement -still singing! So, I have my happy  20  for the day, and I think it
