wifewasveryhungryinthemorningwifeoftendreamedofeatingthingswantedtohavehiswifebuynewsocksfoundhiswife’sbreathverysmelly提示推理判断题。因为婚后妻子早上刷牙之前从不说话,所以丈夫只知道自己脚臭,并不知道妻子早上口气难闻,偏偏他袜子不见了的这天早上妻子开口说话了,于是他闻到了很难闻的气味,所以他才会认为妻子把他的袜子吃了,否则口气不会如此难闻。答案Dwouldhappennextmostprobably?wifewouldleavethehusbandsoon.couplewouldtelleachotherthetruth.husbandwouldbuyanewpairofsocks.couple’sparentswouldhelpfindthesock.提示推理判断题。本文是一则幽默故事,主要讲一对新婚夫妇在婚前向对方隐瞒了自己的毛病,婚后一个月内他们俩掩饰得都很好,但终于有一天出现状况。他们彼此深爱对方,所以在这之后最有可能发生的是彼此坦白,说明真相,最后互相谅解。答案BBItwasSmith’sdogwashungry,buttherewasnotanymeatinthehouse.Consideringthattherewasnobetterway,MrsSmithtookapieceofpaper,andwrotethefollowingwordsonit:“Givemydoghalfapoundofmeat.”Thenshegavethepapertoherdogandsaidgently“Takethistothebutcher(apersonwhosejobissellingmeat).Andhe’sgoingtogiveyouyourlunchtoday.”Holdingthepieceofpaperinitsmouth,thedograntothebutcher’gavethepapertothebutcherreaditcarefully,recognisedthatitwasreallythelady’shandwritingandsoondiditashewasaskeddogwasveryhappy,andatethemeatupatonce.Atnoon,thedogcametotheshopgavethebutcherapieceofpaperreadingit,hegaveithalfapoundofmeatoncemore.Thenextday,thedogcameagainexactlyatasusual,itbroughtapieceofpaperinthetime,thebutcherdidnottakealookatpaper,andgavethedogitsmeat,forhehadregardedthedogasoneofhiscustomers.But,thedogcameagainatfouro’thesamethinghappenedoncethebutcher’smoresurprise,itcameforthethirdtimeatsixo’clock,andbroughtwithitathirdpieceofbutcherfeltabitsaidtohimself,“ThisisasmalldoesMrsSmithgiveitsomuchmeattoeattoday?”Lookingatthepieceofpaper,hefoundthattherewerenotanywordsonit.didthebutchergivethedogmeateverytimeitcame?dogwouldbitehimifhedidn’tgivehimmeat.wasalwaysapieceofpaperinthedog’smouth.Smithwouldpayhimontimeafterthedogatemeateverytime.butcherwasverykind.提示由文章内容可知,由于前两次那只狗嘴里含着主人写的纸条,所以屠夫给了那狗所要的肉,后来几次那只狗嘴里都含着一张纸条,但屠夫没看纸条上是否有字,每次都给了那狗所要的肉。答案BseemedthatthedogknewwellthatthepaperMrsSmithgaveit.

doitmuchharmworthmanypoundshelpthebutcherdoitmuchgood提示由于前几次嘴里含着纸条就能得到肉吃,因此那只狗认为纸条很有用处,所以后来几次都是嘴里含着纸条去。答案Dbutcherdidnotgiveanymeattothedog.

hewaspaidenoughbyMrsSmithhefoundthatthewordsonthepaperwerenotclearhehadsoldoutallthemeatinhisshophefeltsurethatthewordswerereallywrittenbyMrsSmith提示由第三段中的“Thebutcherreaditcarefully,recognisedthatitwasreallythelady’shandwritingandsoondiditashewasaskedto.”这一信息可知直到屠夫辨认了字迹他才会给狗吃肉,因此D项正确。答案Ditsexperience,thedogfoundthat.

pieceofpapercouldbringhimhalfapoundofmeatthepaperwithMrsSmith’swordsonitcouldbringitmeatbutcherwouldgiveitmeatwheneverhesawitSmithwouldpayforthemeatitgotfromthebutcher提示后来,那只狗又连续带着纸又换肉说明它认为这些纸可以给它带来肉,故A项正确。答案Atheendofthestory,you’llfindthat.

提示联系上下文可知,第一段以及其中的例子都是为了引出这篇文章的主题,所以选C项。答案Cwouldthenewcomerprobablyfeelafterhearingwhattheshopownersaid?. .. .提示根据那个新来的人与店主的对话内容以及文章倒数第二段的第二句“Thatmadetheproblemmoreacceptable”可推知,选项D符合题意。答案D’sthepurposeofthewriter’swritingthepassage?encouragepeopletofindthefunnysideintheirdailylife.showtheeffectsofusingsloganstoraisetheposition.explaintheskillsofturningadisadvantageintohumor.tellthestrangeexperienceofabargaininanantiqueshop.提示根据文章的内容特别是最后一段可知,作者通过这篇文章鼓励我们善于发现生活中有趣的、积极的一面,这样更有利于接受和面对困难,故A项正确。答案AⅡ.七选五(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。导学号53060016Youthinkyouknowyourdog.13Sheprobablyrecognizesyouwhensheseescanadogtellbysimplylookingatyouwhetheryouhaveahappyoranangryexpressiononyourface?ResearchersinAustriahavetaughtpetdogstoknowthedifference.

提示首句已经交代:卓别林是举世闻名的喜剧演员,故此处选B项最符合文意。答案B 提示until意为“直到……”,是四个选项中唯一符合文意的连词。答案D 提示从他一出场(appearance)他们就会知道发生什么事情。答案B 提示卓别林的形象众所周知,他个子小却穿着一双大鞋;另外,后文有feet一词暗示。故选shoes。答案C 提示此处往后至结束,描写的是卓别林的一系列的滑稽动作:他在雪中挣扎,从窗户上跌下来,同身材比自己大一倍的男人抗争,或是爱上对他不屑一顾的女人。答案D 提示size常表示体型的大小;greatness意为“伟大”,用于抽象的概念。答案B 提示由于描写的是他所做的一系列滑稽动作,故此处应为“他爱上对他不屑一顾的女人”。只有A项为否定之意。答案A 提示卓别林在许多电影中所扮演(play)的可怜人犯了很多愚蠢的错误。答案A 提示beintrouble是习惯搭配,意为“处于困境”。答案Ddown awayback up提示由前面“Heisalwaysintrouble.”这一信息和“buthenever...”可知,此处应为D项,即,但他从不放弃。答案D 提示people之前有even一词着重强调,所以这里指的是那些不懂英语的人。答案A 提示seeafilm“看电影”,但此处表示“不懂英语的人也能欣赏他的电影”。enjoy有“欣赏”之意。答案C 提示卓别林早期所演的电影是无声电影。答案B 提示这一句与后两句道出了卓别林喜剧的特色:不依赖语言,而是以细微的动作(littleactions)取胜。答案D 提示他的喜剧靠的是“小”动作(action)来打动人。答案A 提示人类文化有一个共性,这一部分文化在全世界是相通的,因而能被全世界的观众所理解。答案C 提示要躲避他的敌人(enemy),藏在一位肥胖妇女的后面或者是桌子底下是没用的,但卓别林这样做恰恰增加了喜剧的色彩。答案A 提示根据这句话的前一部分,他衣着华丽是为了假装富有(rich)和地位显赫。答案C 提示这一切都如此绝望和不可能(impossible)以至于我们都发笑了。答案B 提示最末一句是说卓别林取得巨大成功的秘密(secret)所在。答案DⅣ.语法填空(共10小题;每小题分,满分15分)阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。导学号53060017Theadobedwellings(土坯房)38.(build)bythePuebloIndiansoftheAmericanSouthwestareadmiredbyeven39.mostmodernofarchitectsandadditiontotheirsimplebeauty,whatmakestheadobedwellingsadmirableistheir40.(able)to“aircondition”ahousewithout41.(use)electricmadeofadobetakeintheheatfromthesunonhotdaysandgiveoutthatheat42.(slow)duringcoolnights,thuswarmingtheanewdaybreaks,thewallshavegivenuptheirheatandarenowcoldenough43.(cool)thehouseduringthehotday;44.thesametime,theywarmupagainforthecycle45.(go)dayafterday:Thewallswarmupduringthedayandcooloffduringthenightandarethusalwaysatimelyoffset(抵消)fortheoutside46.(nature)architects,thePuebloIndiansfiguredoutexactly47.thicktheadobewallsneededtobetomakethecycleworkonmostdays.
