六、写作(1题)82.Forthispart,writeapassageabout100~-120wordsentitledFriendship.

参考答案

1.D解析：文章最后提到Botharebasedonthemistakenbeliefthatone'sself-respectreliesonhowwelloneperformsincomparisonwithothers.Bothareafraidofnotbeing…Onlyasthisbasicandoftentroublesomefearbeginstodissolve(缓解)canwediscoveranewmeaningincompetition.可以看出正确答案为D。

2.A

3.C通读文章第一段，特别是根据第二句里“…becauseoftheirhard-nosedatti-tudetowardcorrectwritin9”，以及根据skillcripples的上下文，可知C项是答案。

4.B解析：本题为主旨归纳题。文章第一段指出垃圾成山引起许多城市进行垃圾处理新方法试验。第二段作者开始介绍一种新的机械，介绍这种新的机械是如何工作的，它是如何将垃圾中无用的部分和有用的部分分开的。

5.B解析：self-defeating意为“自相矛盾的。”这个告示牌一方面提醒司机注意安全；另一方面又分散了司机的注意力。

6.D解析：由第二段“Firstly,thereisthespecialwintersackandthestockthatpeoplebuyalltheyearround;someofthesethingsareslightlyreduced.”可知正确答案为D。

7.B

8.C解析：9和11行讲到选择东京的原因，为C。

9.A解析：根据本文大意，我们就可推定，在此文前讲述的牛津大学的态度肯定是不赞成考生通过花钱的方式获得入学资格。

10.D解析：服务生说的是旅馆的安排，可见史密斯太太没理解服务生的话。

11.A解析：第1段第3行提到“olderliterature”，即“古老一点的文献”，可推测obsolete意为“过时的，不再使用的”。

12.C解析：参见最后一段。

13.A文章简述了人类的内部感官。B项是其中的一部分。C项是作者用来作引子，引起读者的兴趣，并与之比较，从而说明内部感官究竟是什么。A项是正确的。

14.A此题是对细节信息进行推理的考查。其中关键词是．．end．．．find。前者说明与故事结尾有关，后者表示考生须通过上下文找出隐含的信息。最后一段的感叹句说明那butcher被聪明的dog给蒙骗了。所以A项是正确答案。其他各项均不符合故事情节或逻辑推理。

15.A

16.D

17.B【原文大意】

一天，一个男孩正挨家叫卖商品以筹学费，突然发现身上只剩下了一个一角硬币，但是他很饿。他决定到下一家讨一顿饭。但到了那一家，一位年轻的妇女打开门时，他却失去了勇气，他没有要吃的，而是要了一杯水。这位妇女觉得他看起来很饿，便拿给他一大杯牛奶。他慢慢地喝完，然后问道，“我欠您多少钱?”“你什么都不欠我的，”她答道。“我真心地感谢你，”他说。

数年之后，那位妇女病得很厉害，当地的医生把她送到大城市，这里有专门研究她这种少见的疾病的专家。HowardKelly医生被叫来会诊O当他听到她来自那个小镇，立刻起身奔向她的病房。他穿着医生的外套去见她。他立即认出了她。他回到会诊室，决定要尽一切努力挽救她的生命。从那天起，他给这个病号以特别的关注。经过长时期的斗争，终于胜利了。Kelly医生要求办公室把账单给他证实一下，他在账单旁边写了些什么。账单被送到她的房间。她不敢打开看，知道她要用自己整个的余生来还账。她终于打开来，账单边上的字吸引了她：“账已经用一杯牛奶付过了”。

【解析】

第一段。Payhiswaythroughschool付学费。小男孩挨家卖货是为了付学费。选项B是正确的。卖货的过程当中突然发现口袋里没有钱，而卖货不是为了赚零钱，所以D错误。

18.D解析：见原文第三段。玛丽的生身母亲吸毒。

19.A

在第六段，Cusick说，马戏团在雇用他时就已经知道他是艾滋病病毒携带者，因此在他花费长时间的准备之后，又没有让他登台演出就解雇他是不公平的。

20.C本题为细节推理题。从最后一段第二句“Nomatterhowbroadmindedorfullofgoodwillyoumaybe，aseriesofsupportshavebeenknockedfromunderyou，followedbyafeelingoffrustration.”我们可知，人们在陌生的文化中常常有一种挫折感。

21.D42．答案为D

此考题为细节题。文章的第1段最后两句告诉我们：Sinceherhusbandhaddiedtenyearsbefore...Shehadcontinuedtoliveintheirlittlehouse，alone，由于她丈夫在10年前去世，我们可以断定老妇人在此居住已10年有余，故选D。

22.C

23.D解析：见原文第一段。每发生一次案件，网页上就会及时报道。因此这个网也肯定是每天都要更新的。

24.B解析：本题属推理分析题。由文章第二段最后一句可知：他父母很忙，有时他一个人在家，所以他不得不自己照顾自己。

25.C解析：参见最后一段。

26.D解析：第4段中指出只有12%而且大多数，所以D项的表述错误。

27.C解析：细节辨认题。根据第二段中“Ofthesefour，theyallsaid'I'llletyouknowin24hours．'Heheardnomore．”可得出正确答案为C。

28.D解析：参见第二段：警察地图上的红点表明枪声的具体位置。

29.D解析：参见第一段：当Stan叫作记号的猫头鹰时，出现的却是barredowl。

30.D解析：根据第三段“AnRFIDtagwithatinychipcanbefixedinaproduct”可知RFID的标签包括一个芯片。

31.A

32.C解析：根据语境，应理解为削减账单上的开支，要用bill.

33.A鸡蛋营养丰富。

34.D根据后一句中的aworldlanguage可知，应选择demand表示对英语的需求。

35.A

36.D27．答案为D

intime“及时”；ontime“准时”。

38.C现在完成时，havehad。强调结果，表示出了车祸就需要用手机与人联系。

48.A下面讲了对真树要做很多的维护性工作，要有一定的支出。根据这个含义，比较四个选项，A项是正确的。用假树花费会低一些。cost“花费，费用”符合句意。

49.C

50.C因为是假树，除草、扫落叶当然就没有必要了。C项是正确的。

51.D解析：画线部分读[c:]，其他选项的画线部分读[a:]。
