practical【答案与解析】

作者在餐馆工作时，误把别人的助步器当成托盘架使用，这一错误让作者认识到：做事要更细心，不要过于相信自己。

1.

D。由于刚开始在餐馆里当服务员，所以应先与一个有经验的服务员一起工作。

2.

C。这里指的是“我”跟着有经验的服务员工作几天后，就可以单独招待客人了。be

allowed

to

do

sth

意为“被准许做某事”。

3.

A。根据下文可知，作者在工作中遇到了一些状况，与之相对，这里是指“在最初的一个星期里我的工作很顺利”。

4.

B。上文中说到作者可以单独招待客人了，这里指的是作者分配到的餐桌离厨房较近，故用

given。

5.

B。根据空格后面的句子

I

still

felt

it

a

little

hard

to

carry

the

heavy

trays

可推知，虽然作者负责的餐桌离厨房较近，但她端着那些沉重的装菜的托盘仍然觉得有点吃力，所以空格前后句之间是转折关系，故用

however。

6.

C。因为作者是在餐馆工作，所以这里应该是指“餐馆”（restaurant）里坐满了客人。

7.

A。根据空格前面的

I

moved

slowly

以及作者前面提到的她端着托盘有点吃力，可推知这里指的是作者每走一步都很小心，即

mind

every

step。

8.

D。由于托盘架可减轻劳动强度，作者当然感到高兴。

9.

B。这里说的是作者看见的托盘架与她平时练习所使用的托盘架不同。即她觉得这个托盘架比通常用的托盘架更好，这从下文可以看出。

10.

D。根据空格前面的

It

had

nice

handles

以及空格后面的...to

move

around

可推知此句话的意思是：因为托盘架装有手柄，所以推起来更容易一些。

11.

A。根据上下文语境可知，这里说的是作者使用托盘架很顺手、很满意，并开始觉得自己天生就是当服务员的好手。

12.

C。根据下文的

It

seems

your

tray

stand

has

been...可知，这位老人与他的妻子看着作者工作已有一会儿了，故此处用

watch，表示“观看”。

13.

A。因为上文提到作者使用这个“托盘架”很顺手，所以此处老人的意思是：看来这个“托盘架”对你很有用呀！

14.

D。根据后文可知，作者误把老人妻子的助步器当成托盘架使用了。这里是指老人和他妻子用餐完毕，准备离开餐馆，向作者要回助步器。

15.

B。参见上面第14题的解析。

16.

C。根据空格后面的

What

was

he

talking

about

可知，作者一开始并没有明白老人话中的意思。

17.

D。根据空格前面的

frozen

as

ice

以及

but

可知，此处要填入一个与

ice

相对的词，再根据语境，作者把老人妻子的助步器当成了托盘架，当她意识到这一点的时候，自然会因尴尬而脸红，故答案选

D。

18.

B。根据空格前面的...to

get

into

a

hole

可推知，作者当时觉得很尴尬，恨不得有个洞可以躲进去，故答案选

B。

19.

D。因本文主要是描述作者在餐馆当服务员时所犯的一个尴尬错误，故答案选

D。

20.

A。根据上下文语境，作者因为大意而误把别人的助步器当成了托盘架，但她也学到了一条经验：做事要更细心，不要过于相信自己。In

1989

an

8.2

earthquake

almost

flattened

America,

killing

over

30,000

people

in

less

than

four

minutes.

In

the

middle

of

complete

damage

and

disorder,

a

father

rushed

to

the

school

where

his

son

was

supposed

to

be,

___1__

that

the

building

was

___2___.

After

the

unforgettably

shock,

he

___3___

the

promise

he

had

made

to

his

son:

"No

matter

___4___,

I'll

always

be

there

for

you!"

And

tears

began

to

___5___

his

eyes.

As

he

looked

at

the

pile

of

ruins,

it

looked

hopeless,

but

he

kept

remembering

his

___6___

to

his

son.

He

rushed

there

and

started

___7___

the

ruins.

As

he

was

digging,

other

helpless

parents

arrived,

___8___:

"It's

too

late!

They're

all

dead!

___9___,

face

reality,

there's

nothing

you

can

do!"

To

each

parent

he

responded

with

___10___:

"Are

you

going

to

help

me

now"

No

one

helped.

And

then

he

continued

to

dig

for

his

son,

stone

by

stone.

Courageously

he

went

on

alone

because

he

needed

to

know

___11___:

"Is

my

boy

___12____

or

is

he

dead"

He

dug

for

eight

hours...12

hours...24

hours...36

hours...then,

in

___13____

hour,

he

pulled

back

a

large

stone

and

heard

his

son's

__14____.

He

screamed

his

son's

name,

"ARMAND!"

He

heard

back,

"Dad!!

It's

me,

Dad!

I

told

the

other

kids

not

to

worry.

I

told

them

that

if

you

were

alive,

you

__15____

me

and

__16____

you

saved

me,

they'd

be

saved.

You

promised,

'No

matter

what

happens,

I'll

always

be

there

for

you!'

You

did

it,

Dad!"

"What's

going

on

in

there

"

the

father

asked.

"There

are

14

of

us

__17____

__18____

33,

Dad.

We're

scared,

hungry,

thirsty

and

thankful

you're

here.

When

the

building

collapsed,

it

made

__19____,

and

it

saved

us."

"Come

out,

boy!"

"No,

Dad!

Let

the

other

kids

out

first,

__20____

I

know

you'll

get

me!

No

matter

what

happens,

I

know

you'll

always

be

there

for

me!"

though本文是一篇故事情节较强的记叙文。文章讲述了“父亲如何履行自己曾对儿子许下的诺言”，故事生动、感人，极富吸引力。

解题指导：

1.

B

only

to

do

sth.“结果却，不料”，作结果状语，表示该结果在主语的预料之外；现在分词作结果状语，表示由主句所产生的逻辑上的结果。

realize在脑海里经过思维“认识到，了解”；find在表面上就能“发现，看出”。

2.

A

这四个选项都是英语成语，根据本段第一句an

8.2

earthquake

almost

flattened

America判断，选择A项。

3.

D

从意义上判断，“他想起了他曾对他儿子许下的诺言”；memorized是“背诵，熟记”。

4.

A

从结构上分析，该句是省略了谓语动词的省略句，省略谓语之后，意义仍然清楚，如不省略动词，则使用第三人称单数happens。从意义上分析，可排除C、D项。

5.

A

表示“流泪”，这几个动词都可能表示这种意义，但句式搭配不同，其表现形式分别为Tears

fill

his

eyes；Tears

come

into

his

eyes；He

bursts

into

tears。

6.

B

从上下文意义判断，“他不停地想起他对他儿子许下的诺言”。

7.

B

动词和动词短语是完形填空设项的重点之一。此题要分清这四项的不同含义。dig及物动词，“掘（土），挖”；dig

through“（为找„„）在„„里挖掘”；dig

out

“发掘出”

dig

into“钻研”。

8.

D

从结构上分析，应该用现在分词作伴随状语，用and则表示并列，用said。

9.

C

Come

on表示劝说，不耐烦，意为“得啦！，来！”，可用Come,

Come,代替。

10.

D

从词义上判断one

line“一句话（台词）”，A项中的one

word干扰性较大，它表示“一个词”，如用words

是正确的。

11.

A

“介词+反身代词”有固定含义，for

oneself独自地，亲自；by

oneself单独地；of

oneself自行地，自动地；to

oneself

对（着）自己。

12.

C

这四个词都有“活着的”之意，live仅用作定语，作表语用living

，alive

。living和alive在意义上有细微差别，living可作定语和表语，含有“本以为死了，然而还活着”，又如：I

can’t

believe

my

first

teacher

is

still

living。alive作表语和后置定语，其含义与dead相对应。lively“生动的，活跃的”。

13.

D

“在第38小时的时候，„„”，序数词之前要用定冠词。

14.

B

注意这四个词的区别：sound

“（各种）声音”；voice

“（人们说话的）嗓音”

noise“（不悦耳的）嘈音”；tone“（人们说话的）语气，语调”。

15.

B

这是表将来的虚拟语气，主句中用would

+动词原形，从下文的句子中也能找到类似的句子。

16.

A

从意义上判断，“如果你来救我，他们也会得救。”是条件状语从句，应该用if

引导，然而选项中没有if，when与if同义，引导条件状语从句。even

if

引导让步状语从句。

17.

C

此题包含一个固定句型：There

are

„

left.

“还有„„剩余下来”。

18.

C

14

„out

of

33

意为：33人中有14人活下来。out

of

“从„„里面”。特别注意此题中的介词与前面的left没有任何联系。如果没有意识到这点，极可能会选错。

19.

D

从意义上判断，“房屋倒塌时，自然形成的三角空隙”。而make

room;

make

space

意为“（有意识地）为„„腾出空间”。

20.

A

从上下文意义判断，此句为原因状语从句。My

ears

are

recently

full

of

joyous

remarks

from

my

friends

such

as,

“oh,

Beckham

is

so

handsome,

so

cool,

that

I

can’t

help

falling

in

love

with

him!”

Or

“what

perfect

skills

he

has!”

Yeah,

I

agree

1

some

degree,

though

I

sometimes

do

want

to

ask

them

how

much

they

2

Beckham,

apart

from

his

appearance

and

how

much

they

know

about

football

3

scoring

goals.

It

seems

funny

that

we

are

crazy

for

things,

with

which

we

are

unfamiliar

or

4

we

are

uncertain,

but

we

all,

my

friends

5

I,

consider

this

6

.

We

need

these

pleasures

to

brighten

up

our

lives.

But

that

doesn’t

amount

to

craziness

7

nonsense(胡闹).

As

an

old

saying

8

:

“Don’t

judge

a

book

by

its

cover.”

We

should

not

9

anything

from

its

appearance.

We

should

all

know,

it

is

one’s

good

character

and

great

contribution

that

10

one

a

star

and

unforgettable.

Therefore

we’d

better

say

11

about

Beckham’s

good

looks.

If

we

close

our

eyes,

12

in

deep

thought,

we

can

find

that

the

things

13

us

to

be

in

truth

happy,

sad

or

moved

14

a

clear

meaning.

If

we

don’t

go

deeper

and

just

satisfied

with

superficialthings,

15

we

will

find

that

we

have

not

really

gained

anything

16

our

first

impression

has

blinded

and

misled

us,

and

we’ll

remain

ignorant17

we

realize

that

and

make

some

changes.

It

is

believed

that

thinking

and

going

deeper

than

before

is

sign

of

great

18

.

If

one

day

we

are

willing

to

go

deeper

into

everything,

no

matter

how

much

it

19

us,

we

will

finally

prove

how

much

we

have

grown

up,

how

much

more

sensible,

mature,

and

intelligent

we

have

become本文是一篇具有一定哲理和教育意义的、夹叙夹议的议论文。文章通过讲述“盲目追星”这一事例，阐明了“看问题不要只看表面，而要‘Go

Deep’注重内含”这一论点。

解题指导：

1.A

介词的固定搭配，“在某种程度上”。

2.D

know

about

“了解”从下文中也能找到相同的短语。

3.D

apart

from

“除„„外，还有„„”，具有“附加性质”。其他选项具有“排他性质”。从上文中也能找到相同的短语。

4.C

此题为“介词+关系代词”引导定语从句，about

与be

uncertain搭配。

5.B

从上文中的we

all判断，“不仅仅是我，还有我的朋友”。

6.A

从结构上判断，此句含有宾语和宾补结构，宾语为this，后用单数。从下文的意义上判断，为“生活中的乐趣之一”。

7.C

否定句中用or连接。“不要达到疯狂和胡闹的程度”。

8.D

“正如俗语所说的”，此四个选项都有“说”之意，然而它们都有自己的搭配，A.

speaks“说语言，演讲”；B.

talks

“交谈”；C.

tells“告诉”；如用says是正确的，此题中的goes与says同义。

9.B

judge„by„或judge„

from„“根据„„判断”，从上句中能找到相同的意义。

10.A

“是一个人好的品德和贡献才得以成为明星”。make

之后接复合宾语。

11.D

从上下文意义上判断，“在外貌上要少说”。

12.C

从句子结构上分析，用现在分词形式作伴随状语。

13.A

从句子结构上分析，此处为定语从句，that代替先行词things，所以谓语用复数形式，关系代词在从句中作主语，that

不能省略。

14.B

此句的句子结构较复杂，主语是前面的the

things

，此题要填谓语动词，由于主语和谓语之间有一个定语从句，造成了句子的复杂性。意义为“„„有明确的意义”。

15.D

从意义上判断，“如果我们不注重内含，满足表面的东西，迟早会发现我们将一无所获”。

16.C

从句子的连接上分析有“因果”关系。

17.C

从意义上判断，“除非我们意识到这点并做某些改变，否则的话„„”。

18.B

从意义上判断，“更注重内含是一个人进步（成熟）的象征”。

19.B

pains在此为及物动词，意为“费（苦）心”，这种意义与上下文是相通的。

20.D

根据句子结构判断，应该用系动词。We

Then

we

are

rated

___38___

they

reach

adolescence

and

we

must

deal

with

them.

Surely

we'll

be

___39___

when

they

grow

out

of

the

teen

years.

We

tell

ourselves

our

_40_will

be

better

when

our

spouse（配偶）gets

his/her

act

together,

when

we

have

a

nicer

car,

when

we

can

take

a

___41___,

when

we

finally

retire.

The

___42___

is

that

there

is

no

better

time

to

be

happy

than

___43___.

If

not,

then

when?

Your

life

will

always

be

full

of

It

is

better

to

admit

as

much

and

to

decide

to

be

happy

___45___it

all.

For

the

longest

time,

it

seemed

that

life

was

about

to

start--real

life.

But

there

was

always

some

obstacle(挫折)along

the

way,

an

ordeal(苦难)

to

___46___,

some

work

to

be

finished,

some

time

to

be

given,

a

bill

to

be

Then

life

would

It

finally

dawned

on

me

that

that

those

___49___

were

part

of

life.

Little

by

little,

that

point

of

___50___

also

helped

me

see

that

there

isn't

any

road

to

happiness.

Happiness

is

the

road.

So,

___51___

every

moment.

And

bear

in

mind

that

___52___

waits

for

no

one.

So

stop

___53___

school

to

end,

for

a

return

to

school,

to

lose

ten

pounds,

to

___54__

ten

pounds,

for

work

to

begin,

to

get

married,…

before

deciding

to

be

happy.

Happiness

is

a

voyage,

not

a

destination.

There

is

no

time

to

be

happy

than…

20.

B联系后文，live

and

enjoy

the

moment

我们知道，没有哪个时间比现在更能让你享受幸福。What

is

it

that

you

love

to

do

but

never

feel

that

you

get

it

quite

right?

Perhaps

you

don’t

even

try

any

more

because

you

think

what

you

do

is

not

1

enough.

Discouragement

seems

to

follow

us

a

good

part

of

the

time,

2

however

hard

we

work,

it

seems

that

there

is

3

someone

else

who

can

do

it

much

better.

I

have

always

enjoyed

music

and

it

is

4

to

me

that

every

musician

has

a

5

of

their

own.

My

father

6

several

instruments

and

when

he

played

with

other

people,

it

was

not

difficult

to

7

his

sound

in

a

group.

Whether

it

was

guitar

or

another

instrument,

he

had

his

own

8

sound.

I

9

heard

of

a

music

teacher

who

commented

to

a

discouraged

student,“

10

else

can

make

the

sound

that

you

make.”

The

sound

that

you

make

may

not

be

the

same

as

someone

else’s,

but

who

is

to

say

which

is

11

.It

is

said

that,“

12

is

in

the

eye

of

the

beholder.”

Perhaps

it

could

be

said

that

a

delightful

sound

is

in

the

ear

of

the

13

.

Every

person

has

a

different

tone

of

voice

that

14

only

to

them,

15

we

all

know

people

with

an

unforgettable

laugh

or

a

way

of

16

that

is

unique

to

them.

It

might

not

be

the

sound

of

your

music

or

your

voice

at

all.

It

17

be

the

way

you

whistle

or

the

sound

of

your

footsteps.

Each

person

has

a(n)

18

on

the

world

in

some

way.

Someone

else

can

do

what

you

do,

but

they

cannot

do

it

19

in

the

same

way

that

you

do

it.

The

next

time

you

feel

20

,remember

nobody

else

can

make

the

sound

that

you

make.
