B.suggesting C.spending D.waiting【答案与解析】1.D。study意为“研究〞，根据下文，这是指对未来20年地球上的情况变化所作的研究。2.B。与后面的人口增长，环境污染等联系起来看，在2023年地球上的状况(picture)将会令人不愉快(pleasant)。3.C。因为人口继续增长，所以世界会越来越拥挤(crowded)。4.D。指人口数目的多用large，少用small。指人口到达某一数目用“aslargeas+数词〞。5.A。从现状来看，人口增长快的国家多为开展不兴旺的国家；而城市人口急剧增长的那么是一些开展中的国家(developingcountries)。6.B。前面提到了两个城市，故此空只能填each，neither具有否认意义，不合句意，也不能插入谓语之中。7.C。临近几句是讲粮食增长问题，应选increase“增长〞。8.B。前后两句具有转折意义：农民所生产的粮食将比1985多百分之90，但多数增产粮食的国家是在已经有足够粮食供人们生活的国家。9.A。already意为“已经〞，由下句可知：是指已经有足够粮食供人们生活的国家。10.D。expect意为“预计〞，句意为：在亚洲南部的国家预计增产幅度不大。11.A。由changingfarmsintodeserts可知：不当农业生产方式毁坏(destroy)了大片生产粮食土地。12.B。由于扩建城市，修建房屋，必然侵占大量农田，应选lost(失去)。13.A。由burncoalandoil必然排放大量烟雾，可推知：此处指空气污染(airpollution)14.C。由moreandmoretreesarecutdown可推知：此处指森林(forests)可能消失。15.D。此句意为：专家说地球到2023年的状况可能会不好。16.C。exist意为“存在〞。由上下文可知：环境正遭受污染和破坏，专家们只是想保存今天状况。17.A。settletheproblems意为解决问题。18.B。still意为“还有〞，加强语气。句意为：现在还有时间给世界各国制定行动方案。19.C。workoutaplan意为“制定方案〞。20.D。句意为：专家们警告说等待太长的时间作处决定将会极大地减少成功的时机。二Ihadofferedtowatchmy3-year-olddaughter,sothatmywifecouldgooutwithafriend.Iwasgettingsomeworkdoneinmystudywhileshe___1___tobehavingagoodtimeintheotherroom.Noproblem,Ifigured.Butthenitgotalittletoo___2___andIshouted,“Whatareyoudoing?〞Noresponse.I___3___myquestionandheardhersay,“Oh,…nothing.〞Nothing？Igotupfrommydeskandranout___4___thelivingroom,whereIsawherrunningacrossthehall.Ifollowedandwatchedherasherlittlebehindmadeaquick___5___intothebathroom.Ihadher___6___!Itoldhertoturnaround.She___7___.IpulledoutmybigDaddyvoice,“Younglady,Isaidturnaround!〞___8___,sheturnedtowardme.Inherhandwaswhatwasleftofmywife’snewlipstick.Andeverysquareinchofherfacewas___9___withbrightred!Asshelookedupatmewithfearfuleyes,Iheard___10___voicethathadbeenshoutedtomeasachild.“Howcouldyou…Youshouldknow…Howmanytimeshaveyoubeen___11___…Whatabadthingtodo…〞Itwasjustamatterofmypickingoutwhichold___12___Iwasgoingtouseonhersothatshewouldknowwhatabadgirlshehadbeen.But___13___Icouldletloose,Ilooked___14___atthesweateronher.Inbig___15___itsaid,“I’MAPERFECTLITTLEANGEL(天使)!〞Ilookedbackupintohertearfuleyesand,___16___seeingabadgirlwhodidn’tlisten,Isawalittleangelfullof___17___thatIhadcomedangerouslycloseto___18___.“Sweetheart,let’stakeapicturesoMommycanseehow___19___youlook.〞ItookthepictureandthankedGodthatIdidn’t___20___thechancetoprovewhataperfectlittleangelshehadgivenme.1.A.happened

D.miss【答案与解析】本文表达作者3岁的小女儿用她妈妈的化装品想把自己打扮成一个小天使的故事。1.C。根据后面的tobehavingagoodtime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〞。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)。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。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andwentinto。5.B。从前面的动词follow,watch以及asherlittlebehind判断，他女儿看到他，赶紧“拐入〞洗澡间。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〞。7.D。根据下一句的意思，他女儿没有听他的话，“拒绝〞回来。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。9.D。表示满脸都被唇膏“覆盖(涂)〞。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。11.A。根据前面的manytimes来判断，她爸爸已经“告诉〞她好多遍了。12.D。根据上文作者没有方法，还是挑选了他说了很多遍的“老话〞。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〞。14.B。因为大人看小孩是居高临下，即往“下〞看。15.B。根据后面的I’MAPERFECTLITTLEANGEL!这些都是大写的“字母〞。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。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。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。19.C。因为上文表达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。20.D。根据后面的chance表示“得到〞或“失去〞时机，根据句意应该选miss。三Aroundtheworldmoreandmorepeopleare___1___dangeroussportsandactivities.Ofcoursetherehavealwaysbeenpeoplewhohave___2___adventure—thosewhohaveclimbedthe___3___mountains,exploredunknownpartsoftheworldor___4___insmallboatsacrossthegreatestoceans.Now,however,therearepeoplewholookforanimmediatepleasurefroma___5___activitywhichmayonlylastafewminutesoreven___6___.Iwouldconsiderbungeejumpingtobeagoodexampleofsuchanactivity.You___7___fromahighplaceabout200metersabovethegroundwithanelasticrope___8___toyourankles.You___9___atupto150kilometersanhouruntiltheropestopsyoufrom___10___theground.Itissaidthat2millionpeoplearoundtheworldhavenow___11___bungeejumping.Otheractivities,___12___mostpeoplewouldsayareasdangerousasbungeejumping,___13___jumpingfromtallbuildingsand___14___intotheseafromthetopofhighrocks.Whydopeopletakepartinsuchactivitiesasthese?Somepsychologists(心理学家)suggestthatitisbecauselifein___15___societieshasbecomesafeandboring.Notverylongago,people’sliveswereconstantlyunder___16___.Theyhadtogooutandhuntfor___17___,andlifewasacontinuousbattleforsurvival.Nowadays,accordingtomanypeople,lifeoffers___18___excitement.Theyliveandworkinrelativelysafecondition;theybuyfoodinshops;andtherearedoctorsandhospitalsto___19___themiftheybecomeill.Theanswerforsomeofthesepeopleisto___20___dangerinactivitiessuchasbungeejumping.1.A.escapingfrom

D.find【答案与解析】1.B。从本段后面所举的例子来看，此处说的是越来越多的人正参加各种危险的运动。“从事〞应说goinfor，故C不对。2.C。上句说越来越多的人参加各种危险的运动，从Ofcourse可推测此处说“也不乏有人参加冒险〞。3.B。从破折号来看，下文是通过例子来说明有人参加冒险活动。根据所举的几个例子来看，此处选highest才能与“冒险〞这个主题相吻合，并与exploredunknownpartsoftheworld等语意一致。4.A。从下面的insmallboatsacrossthegreatestoceans看此处说的应是“乘船在大洋上航行〞，应选用sail。5.D。此句中的however说明后面提到的运动与前面提到的不同，这里说的是有些人从持续时间很短的一项运动中得到瞬间快乐。从下文来看，作者认为bungee就属于这种运动，也是很危险的，故用dangerous。6.B。从前面的…wholookforanimmediatepleasure及whichmayonlylastafewminutesoreven…等可推测，此处说的是这项运动持续时间短，显然hours,days和years不合语境。7.A。从这一段开始介绍bungee运动。根据下文介绍的fromahighplaceabout200metersabovetheground来看，该运动是从离地面大约200米8.B。在往下跳时，运发动的脚踝要系在绳子上，也就是要把绳子栓在脚踝上，所以用tied。9.C。从高处跳起，然后坠落下去，所以用fall。10.D。此处介绍的是系绳子的目的——不让你撞到地上。11.A。根据下文看，世界上有很多人都已经尝试过蹦极这项运动。12.B。此处应用which引导非限制性定语从句，which指代前面提到的otheractivities。13.B。前面提到的bungee是从高处往地面跳，这里具体说从何处往下跳：一是从大楼往下跳，二是从高的岩石上往海面跳。故此处应用include。14.C。从下文的intothesea可看出是“跳水〞，故用diving。15.B。从上下文来看，本文所介绍的活动是新兴的一项运动，也就是现代人所从事的活动，由此可推断此处选modern，既说明“现代社会人们的生活很平安、枯燥〞，故许多人从事这项运动来寻找刺激。16.C。前面说现在人们生活舒适而乏味，与此相对照，此处说的是过去人们外出狩猎，生活就是持续的生存斗争，故此处应选danger。17.B。从andlifewasacontinuousbattleforsurvival等来看，此处说的是人们外出“猎取食物〞，故用food。18.B。从后文可知“现在人们生活、工作在相对平安的环境下〞，与狩猎相比，现代人的生活少了刺激，所以也就少了欢乐，故用little。19.D。从iftheybecomeill知，此处说的是“当生病时有大夫等来照看他们〞，故用lookafter。20.A。此句是总结全文的话。从整篇文章来看，此处说的是人们在刺激的运动中寻找危险。四IdoalotofmanagementtrainingeachyearfortheCircleKCompany.Amongthetopicwe___1___inourclassesisthe___2___ofqualityemployees.Whathas___3___youtostaylongenoughtobecomeamanager?〞Iasked.Afterawhileanewmanager___4___thequestionandsaidslowly,“Itwasabaseball___5___.〞Cynthiasaidthatshe___6___totakeaCircleKclerkjobasaninterim(临时的)job___7___shelookedforsomethingelse.Onherseconddaybehindthecounter,shereceiveda___8___fromhernine-year-oldson,Jessie.HeneededabaseballgloveforLittleLeague.She___9___thatasasinglewoman,___10___wastight,andherfirst___11___wouldhavetogoforpayingbills.WhenCynthiaarrivedforworkthe___12___morning,Patricia,thestoremanager,handedherabox.“Ioverheardyou___13___toyoursonyesterday,〞shesaid,“andIknowthatitis___14___toexplainthingstokids.ThisisabaseballgloveforJessie.Iknowyouhavetopaybillsbeforeyoucanbuygloves.Youknowwecan’t___15___goodpeoplelikeyouas___16___aswewouldliketo,___17___wedocare,andIwantyoutoknowhow___18___youaretous!〞Thethoughtfulness,empathy(同情)andloveofthestoremanager___19___thatpeopleremembermorehowmuchanemployer___20___thanhowmuchhepays.1.A.discuss

D.cares【答案详解】本文以经理给Cynthia的儿子买棒球手套为切入点来谈论一个公司要留住好员工，就要关心员工，关心员工的生活，而不是给他们多少钱的问题。1.A从上下文来看，此处说的是在经理培训课上经常谈论一些话题。2.C从下文举的Cynthia由于她的经理关心并给她儿子买棒球手套使得她继续留在该公司来看，“我们〞谈论的话题是“留住好员工的问题〞。在下文中有Whathas___3___youtostaylongtobecomeamanager，其中的long就是一个信号词。3.D由下文可知，Cynthia曾在该公司工作并同时想着找其他工作，不过后来发生的一件事让她在该公司安心工作，并成为一名新经理，故此处用caused。force意为“被迫〞，order意为“命令〞，均不合语境。4.B此处是对“我〞提出问题的答复，即过了一会后Cynthia就以自己的切身体会答复了这个问题。takethequestion的字面意思为“接受了这个问题〞，也就是“答复了这个问题〞。5.B从下文可知是一个棒球手套使她下决心留在这里并努力工作的。6.D上文说Cynthia已是个新经理，此处讲述的是她过去在那儿做临时工时的事情，可见这是以前的事情，故用used。usedtodosth意为“过去常常做……〞。7.C前面说她在那儿做临时工，后面说她在找其他的事情，故用while表示她当时不稳定的心理。8.B由下文Ioverheardyou___13___toyoursonyesterday…可知，此处指的是她接到了儿子的“〞。9.C从后面的内容特别是…itis__toexplainthingstokids来看，此处用explained。10.C儿子要棒球手套，可她却不能给儿子买，因为第一张支票要付账单来看，此处说的是“作为一个单身妇女，钱相对来说很紧张〞。11.B从后面的…havetogoforpayingbills来看，此处应用check。check意为“支票〞，在这里指“第一份工资〞。12.C前面提到了一天，此处指儿子打来的“第二天早晨〞，应用thenextmorning。13.B商店经理无意间听到了Cynthia与儿子打的内容，所以他才买了棒球手套送来。14.C从She___9___thatasasinglewoman,___10___wastight,andherfirst___11___wouldhavetogoforpayingbills来看，这是她苦口婆心地向儿子解释家中的困难，同时由Cynthia向儿子说的这些话知道儿子当时非常想要手套，由此可推断此处用hard为好，即“向儿子解释这些很困难〞。15.D/16.D从goodpeoplelikeyou…aswewouldliketo,___wedocare…等来看，此处经理的话的意思是“你知道像你这样的好人，我们不能想给你多少就给多少〞。17.B前面说我们不能想给像你这样的好员工多少钱就给多少钱，与后面的“我们确实很关心(在乎)〞有转折关系，故用but。18.D从上下文知，钱不是最重要的，而关心、同情和爱心才是最重要的。此处经理的意思是想让她明白“好员工对他们来说是多么的重要〞，这才符合逻辑。19.A由经理给Cynthia的儿子买手套所表达的同情和爱心说明“人们更关注的是被关心，而不是他得到了多少钱〞。20.D由Cynthia的亲身经历可知，对于雇员来说“雇主的关心比多给工资要重要的多〞。这也可从thoughtfulness,empathyandloveofthestoremanager看出来。五ChristopherReeveisbestknownasthemanwhoplayedSupermanalwaysfightingagainsttheforcesofevil(邪恶).Hecameto___1___thevictoryofgoodoverbad.Nowhehastakenonhis___2___fight.In1995,___3___ridinghishorse,ChristopherReevewasthrowntotheground.Hebrokehis___4___andhasbeenparalyzedeversince.Hecannotmoveamuscle___5___hisshoulderlevelandforsixmonthsafterhisaccidenthecouldnoteven___6___withouthelp.___7___,inspiteofhisterribleinjuries,hisgoalistocarryonas___8___alifeashecan.HenowspendsalotoftimetravelingaroundAmerica___9___forpeoplewhoareinthesame___10___asheis.Over215,000Americanssufferfromspinalcord(脊髓)injuries,but90%ofthemsurvive(幸存)andlivetoagreatage.Almost＄9billionisspenteveryyear___11___forthesepeople,yetonly＄5millionisspentonthe___12___tofindacure.ChristopherReeveisavery___13___manwho,attheageof9,willnotacceptthathewill___14___walkagain.Heandmanyothersbelievethattheonlythingstopping___15___fromfindingacurefortheirinjuriesis___16___forresearch.In1996,hefoundedtheChristopherReeveFoundation(CRF)toraisefunds(资金)formedicalresearchtotreatandfindacureforspinalcordinjuries,andalsotosupportprogramsthatimprovethequalityoflifefor___17___people.ChristopherReevemakesthebestofhis___18___.Hehasconqueredhis___19___.Hehasevenreturnedtothe___20___worldwitha＄5,000wheelchairthatcanbecontrolledbysuckingorpuffingonastraw.1.A.show

D.pleasant【答案与解析】本文是表达ChristopherReeve以扮演与邪恶势力作斗争的超人而知名。在一次骑马运动中被摔伤致残，他坚强地战胜病魔的故事。1.C。根据上文和后面victory可得出答案，standfor意思是“代表、象征〞。2.D。他以前扮演与邪恶势力作斗争，“现在〞跟自己的病魔作斗争。3.A。根据后面句子的动作和前面分词所表示的动作是同时发生的，因此答案选when，其余不符语境。4.C。从下文的Hecannotmoveamuscle…hisshoulderlevel可知他的“背部〞摔伤了。5.B。因为肩以上没有多少肌肉，再根据前面的paralyzed(瘫痪)和背部摔伤来判断是肩“以下〞(below)的肌肉不能动弹。6.C。从病情的严重性和后面的withouthelp可知不通过帮助连“呼吸〞都困难。7.B。根据下文主句的意思，前面是表示转折关系，因此选however。8.A。根据前面让步状语判断，虽然他受伤非常严重，但是他的目标是尽可能地像“正常〞(因为瘫痪，不是普通)人一样生活。9.D。从上文来看，因为他瘫痪了，他花了许多时间游遍全国，所以只能是“游说〞(speaking)。10.C。根据上文表达他残废了，再根据后面的asheis得出答案：像他那样情况(situation)的人。11.B。根据上文美国有215,000脊髓受伤的人，有90%幸存并能活到很大年龄，从每年花费90亿美元判断，使用这些钱是为患者“治〞病的，即“关心，照料〞这些人。12.A。根据后面的tofindacure得知花费500万美元是为了“研究〞(research)发现治愈的方法。13.C。根据上下文判断，他是一位“意志坚强的〞(determined)人。14.D。因为他是一位意志坚强的人，所以他不能接受“不能再走路〞的事实。15.B。根据上下文research一词可以得出是科学家(scientists)。16.A。根据上文500万美元用来找到治愈脊髓瘫痪病的研究，money指用来研究的“资金〞。17.B。如上所述，都是为改善“残疾〞人的生活。18.C。根据动词make尽他的职责，其余都是表示疾病或精神，不与make一起使用。19.C。因为他是一位意志坚强的人，作了很大的努力，因此说他已经战胜了他的“残疾〞(disability)。20.B。根据文章第1段第1句话可得出答案。六Whensailorsareallowedashoreafteralongtimeatsea,theysometimesgetdrunkandcausetrouble.Forthisreason,thenavy___1___hasitspoliceinbigports.Wheneversailorscausetrouble,thepolicecomeand___2___them.Oneday,thepoliceinabigseaportreceivedatelephonecall___3___abarinthetown.Thebarmansaidthatabigsailorhadgotdrunkand___4___thefurnitureinthebar.Theofficerinchargeofthepoliceguardthateveningsaidthathewouldcomeimmediately.Now,officerswho___5___andpunishthesailors___6___drunkusuallychose___7___policemantheycouldfindtogowiththem.___8___thisparticularofficerdidnotdothis.___9___,hechosethesmallestand
