閱讀下面短文,掌握其大意,然后從l~20各題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中,選出一個(gè)最佳答案.

  Millions of people in Britain struggle out of bed each morning, fumble(亂摸) into some clothes, and __1__ their way to a cup of coffee and the morning __2__. They need something cheerful to remind them that rest of the day will be __3__ difficult than getting up. This need may be __4__ that many of them turn their __5__ eyes to the cartoons section of the newspaper as they sip (呷) their first cups of coffee of the day.

  Cartoons reflect (反映) the times and the troubles and __6__ of people. They give people an opportunity (機(jī)會(huì)) to laugh at __7__ and at familiar (常見) situations. In times of prosperity (繁榮), for example, cartoons show people __8__ the good economic (經(jīng)濟(jì)上的) situation. They also make fun of the __9__ that people make for themselves--like making a problem out __10__ type of car to buy. In hard times--times of economic troubles--people want someone or __11__ to blame (責(zé)備) their troubles on. Cartoons provide scapegoats (替身). They also help people to see the humor in a __12__ situation. For example, a cartoon might say that the government of a country is responsible for the bad economy and __13__ show the government leaders as a group of ridiculous (可笑的) people. Being able to use the leaders as scapegoats and to laugh at the leaders somehow makes people feel __14__ about their situation.

  Cartoons also make people __15__ their own personal worries. Young people who are not always sure of how to act can smile at their awkwardness (尷尬). Old people __16__ grown children pay little attention to them can chuckle (暗笑) at their neglect (疏忽) and loneliness. Students who have studied too little before an examination can laugh at their worries. __17__ problems are made bigger-than-life in the cartoons. Perhaps the problems __18__ funny because there is humor in something that is real being made unreal.

  A cartoon combines (結(jié)合) art and humor. When it is skillfully __19__, a simple line drawing and a few words can make people laugh. Their troubles seem less __20__ and they enjoy life more fully.

答案:A;C;D;B;B;C;B;B;D;C;A;B;C;A;D;B;B;A;D;B
解析:

(1) A 動(dòng)詞短語make one's way to表示“向……走去”.

(2) C 由下文many of them turn their half-opened eyes to the cartoons section of the newspaper可作出正確判斷.

(3) D 由句中的從屬連詞than可以確定,其前須用形容詞比較級(jí).less +形容詞原級(jí)+than”表示較低程度的比較.

(4) B 上文敘述了They need something cheerful to remind them...,這正是下文中many of them turn their half-opened eyes to the cartoons section of the newspaper的原因,故此空應(yīng)填the reason.

(5) B 四個(gè)選項(xiàng)均為形容詞,都可以作定語修飾名詞,但短文首句Millions of people in Britain struggle out of bed each morningfumble into some clothes,and make their way to a cup of coffee and the morning newspaper.表明最佳答案為B.早晨人們睡眼惺忪地去看報(bào)紙,自然眼睛是半開著的.

(6) C 該句為主題句,綜合敘述了漫畫反映了時(shí)代及人們的煩惱和憂慮,由短文第三段首句Cartoons also make people laugh at their own personal worries.我們可以判斷出,C為最佳選項(xiàng).

(7) B 四個(gè)選項(xiàng)的人稱代詞和不定代詞都可以作介詞at的賓語,但下文They also make fun of the problems that people make for themselves表明,這里指漫畫使人們嘲笑別人.

(8) B 四個(gè)選項(xiàng)的現(xiàn)在分詞填入空白都可以作show的賓語補(bǔ)足語,但由句首的時(shí)間狀語In times of prosperity可以確定B為最佳選項(xiàng),這里指人們喜愛良好的經(jīng)濟(jì)形勢(shì).

(9) D 由下文解釋性的介詞短語like making a problem,可以確定此空應(yīng)填 problems,是其后定語從句that people make for themselves所修飾的先行詞.

(10) C 此空應(yīng)填入of which.out of在該句中意為“來自”,其后的“疑問詞+不定式”起名詞詞組的作用,在句中作介詞of的賓語.which type of car與動(dòng)詞不定式to buy具有邏輯上的動(dòng)賓關(guān)系.

(11) A 由空白前表選擇的并列連詞or可以判斷出,此空應(yīng)填表示物的不定代詞,排除BC.something作“某事”、“某物”解一般用于肯定句中;anything作“任何事物”、“任何東西”解一般用于否定句、疑問句和條件句中.該句為肯定句,最佳答案為A.someone or something與其后作定語的動(dòng)詞不定式to blame their troubles on具有邏輯上的動(dòng)賓關(guān)系.

(12) B 四個(gè)選項(xiàng)的復(fù)合形容詞都可以作定語修飾situation,從單句看語法都正確,但根據(jù)下文政府應(yīng)對(duì)糟糕的經(jīng)濟(jì)形勢(shì)負(fù)責(zé),漫畫對(duì)政府領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人作為替罪羊嘲弄,以其help people to see the humor,可以判斷出B為最佳選項(xiàng).

(13) C 該句為含有并列復(fù)合謂語的簡(jiǎn)單句,第二個(gè)謂語動(dòng)詞show與前一個(gè)謂語動(dòng)詞say表示的是同位關(guān)系,故填表示“也”的副詞also,置于情態(tài)動(dòng)詞 might之后,主要?jiǎng)釉~show之前.

(14) A 上文敘述了在經(jīng)濟(jì)困難時(shí)期,漫畫能夠表示出國(guó)家的政府應(yīng)為此負(fù)責(zé),并拿政府領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人作為替身進(jìn)行嘲弄,這無疑對(duì)于廣大人民是莫大的精神安慰,使他們對(duì)形勢(shì)感到更舒服點(diǎn),故此空應(yīng)填比較級(jí)形容詞better,與feel構(gòu)成系表結(jié)構(gòu).

(15) D 上文已經(jīng)提到They give people an opportunity to laugh at others and at familiar situations.以及漫畫Being able to use the leaders as scapegoats and to laugh at the leaders,再根據(jù)下文Young people,old people以及Students對(duì)their own personal worries發(fā)笑的敘述,可以判斷出此空應(yīng)填laugh at.

(16) B 根據(jù)句型結(jié)構(gòu),空白后的grown children pay little attention to them為一定語從句,先行詞為人,定語從句不能用which引導(dǎo).其余三個(gè)選項(xiàng)均為引導(dǎo)定語從句的關(guān)系代詞,但只有B項(xiàng)能作定語,修飾grown children,故為最佳選項(xiàng).

(17) B 四個(gè)選項(xiàng)均為不定代詞的所有格,都能作定語修飾名詞problems,但這些不定代詞所表達(dá)的意義不同:Somebody某人,有人;everybody人人,大家;each one每個(gè);anybody任何人.根據(jù)上文敘述的年輕人、老人、學(xué)生都在嘲笑自己所遇到的問題,可以推斷出漫畫所表現(xiàn)的比現(xiàn)實(shí)生活夸大了的是大家所遇到的問題,強(qiáng)調(diào)的是整體,故答案選B.

(18) A seem作“看起來”、“似乎”解暗示判斷有一定根據(jù),這種判斷往往接近現(xiàn)實(shí),由原因狀語從句there is humor in something that is real being made unreal可以確定答案為A,這里seem為系動(dòng)詞,其后跟形容詞作表語.

(19) D 四個(gè)選項(xiàng)的形容詞填入空白,都可以與助動(dòng)詞is構(gòu)成被動(dòng)語態(tài),但只有D項(xiàng)是“制作”的意思,可由主句a simple line drawing and a few words can make people laugh作出正確判斷.

(20) B 上文敘述了漫畫被制作之后,簡(jiǎn)單的線條和寥寥數(shù)言會(huì)引起人們發(fā)笑,我們?cè)俑鶕?jù)空白后的并列分句they enjoy life more fully,就不難判斷出人們?cè)诳绰嫊r(shí)對(duì)生活的充分享受,遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過了現(xiàn)實(shí)的煩惱,故最佳答案選B.

閱讀下面短文,掌握其大意,然后從1-10各題所給的A.B.C.和D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

We all know that some things are obviously right. For example, it is right to be   1  to other people. It is also right to look after the environment. Some things are   2  wrong, too. For instance, we should not hurt or bully(欺負(fù))others, nor should we litter. Rules often tell us what is right or wrong.

Rules can help the public make the right   3 , and remain safe. Car drivers have to obey traffic regulations that tell them the right things to do on the road to avoid crashes. Cyclists who give signals before turning or stopping help prevent   4 .

If people follow rules without taking other matters into consideration, it will be   5 for them to form what is sometimes called a “black and white” view (黑白分明的觀點(diǎn)). For example, they may believe that people should always tell the truth, and that lying is   6  acceptable. Such people always stick to their views, even if it means that they may get into  7 .

Sometimes it may not be so easy to know   8  what is right or wrong. Some people choose not to eat meat because they believe that it is   9  to eat animals, but others argue that they can eat meat and   10  be kind to animals; some insist that stealing is always wrong, but others think that one does not need to feel so guilty (有罪的) when stealing some food to eat, if he lives in a really poor area and he is starving.

Rules help us live together in harmony, because they show us the right way to treat others. However, some people argue that rules may be confusing, having observed that rules change all the time, and that some schools have some regulations and others have different ones---so who is to decide what is right?

1.                A.kind           B.sensitive        C.fair  D.generous

 

2.                A.equally         B.slightly         C.clearly   D.increasingly

 

3.                A.suggestions      B.conclusion      C.turns D.choices

 

4.                A.a(chǎn)ccidents       B.mistakes        C.falls  D.deaths

 

5.                A.interesting      B.vital (重要的)     C.easy D.valuable

 

6.                A.seldom         B.rarely          C.merely (僅僅)  D.never

 

7.                A.trouble         B.power          C.prison    D.control

 

8.                A.roughly         B.eventually       C.deliberately (故意地)    D.exactly

 

9.                A.a(chǎn)wful (可怕的)   B.cruel           C.unhealthy D.unnecessary

Then one morning our dream   38  . We hired a car and drove   39  to Dalat early in the morning. Splendid landscapes   40  on either side of the road   41   before us. The refreshing morning breeze was caressing (撫摸) our skin and in   42   spirits we were singing merrily.

But when Rohan was born, life   30     . Suddenly I had to share my toys and there were no more bedtime stories or my own choice of food.

Finally, I felt my     31      at my brother. The poor baby had no idea what    32      me so unhappy. Maybe he found me strange, the only person in this house    33      did not like him. Whatever the reason was, he loved following me around. However, I seldom talked to him and   34      asked him to leave me alone.

Then all that changed. I hardly remember everything of that day six years ago,   35    I do remember that I was feeling very angry. Somehow my feet led me to my brother’s bed. My hand, completely    36     from my mind, reached through the bars (護(hù)欄). At once, he reached out his small hand and softly touched   37      . And that was all I needed. Through all the unhappiness of the day, that one moment changed everything. How could I hate someone who made me     38     so important?

When I come across a good article in reading newspapers,I often want to cut and keep it.But just as I am about to do so,I find the article on the   31   side is as much interesting.It may be a discussion of the way to   32   in good health,or advice about how to behave and   33  yourself in society.If I cut the front articles,the opposite one is likely to suffer   34  ,leaving one half of it or keeping the text    35    the title.Therefore,the scissors would stay before they start,    36   the cutting would be halfway done when I find out the   37    result.

Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time,both worth your   39   .You can only take up one of them;the other has to wait or be   39   up.But you know the future is unpredictable—the changed situation may not   40   you to do what is left behind.Thus you are   41   in a difficult position and feel sad.How come nice    42  and clever ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life   43    greatly on your preference of your one choice to the other.

In fact that is what   44   is like;we are often   45   with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both  46    like a newspaper cutting.It often occurs that our attention is   47   to the thing only after we get into another.The former may be more important than the latter and this   48   a divided mind.I still remember a philosopher’s   49 :“When one door shuts,another opens in life.”So a casual(不經(jīng)意的)    50   may not be a bad one.
