Unit1Livingwell综合检测1答案解析1．C句意：完成了她的项目后，她应学校的邀请去给新生演讲。本题考查非谓语动词做主语补足语。根据“invitedosth.＝invitedtodosth.邀请某人做某事”，排除A、B两项；D项不定式的完成式表示该动作先于谓语动词所表示的动作，不符合句意，应排除。2．C由前一句“Hehasbeenonbusiness”可知，我是在他不在的时候处理所有的信件的。故选C项absence(缺席)。during/insb.'sabsence意为“当某人不在时”。appearance出现；distance距离；presence出席。3．C考查动词的意义和用法。resign意为“辞去(工作、职位等)”，符合句意。而refuse表示“拒绝”；retire表示“退休”，不符合句意；removefrom虽然有“开除”的意思，但一般用于被动结构。4．D前句句意：——彼得，别再从报纸上剪图片了，你搞了太多破坏。cutout意为“切去，剪去”，符合句意。cutup劈开，切碎；cutdown砍倒，削减；cutin插话，超车抢道，均不合句意。5．C句意：——你儿子在英国工作怎么样？——很好，他很容易就适应了新环境。adaptto适应(新环境)，符合句意。getto到达；belongto属于；turnto转向，变成。6．C句意：在我看来，多吃蔬菜并参加体育活动对我们的健康有益。beneficial有益的，符合句意。personal私人的，个人的，亲自的；natural自然的；informal非正式的。7．Caswell也；infact事实上；asaresult结果，都不符合题意。inotherwords换句话说，符合题意。8．B句意：火车站新建的洗手间有利于残疾乘客进出。accessible可接近的；可进入的；可使用的，常用于短语beaccessibleto...。perfect完全的，完美的；remarkable非凡的，显著的；potential可能的，潜在的。由句意可知B项正确。9．C考查不定式的被动语态作宾语补足语。10．D考查动词词义。句意：简为她男朋友未回信而感到烦恼。annoy使烦恼；cheer鼓舞；interrupt打断，指在谈话或做事过程中被打断；interfere干涉，妨碍。根据句意，答案应为D项。11．D考查形容词词义。句意：对这个问题他没有给我们一个满意的答复，所以我又问了他一次。adequate足够的，充分的，符合句意。noisy吵闹的；ambitious有雄心的，有野心的；typical典型的，有代表性的。12．D考查不定式作表语。句意：这支乐队将由一位著名音乐家指挥，所以我和妻子都乐意去参加音乐会。逻辑主语theband和conduct之间是被动关系，根据语境可知是将来时，故选D。13．D句意：她跑呀跑，最终她气喘吁吁地跑到了终点线。前面三个词组都表示“气喘吁吁”。14．B句意：他喜欢在公共场合开别人的玩笑，但不喜欢被别人开玩笑。makefunof“取笑”，符合句意。dreamof“梦见，梦想，设想”；thinkhighlyof“看重，器重”；catchsightof“看见，瞥见”。15．A句意：我们半个小时以后开会。在会上做出的决定将会影响我们公司的未来。考查非谓语动词作定语的用法。首先排除D项，因为havingbeendone不能作后置定语；根据题干中inhalfanhour和will可知是即将做出的决定，故答案为A项。B：正在被做出的，C：已经被做出的，以上两项均不合乎句意。【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了多伦多音乐家格雷顿·詹姆斯从一名作家转变为一名音乐家，并经过自己的努力，使自己在音乐的道路上不断成功的故事。然而，现在的格雷斯顿·詹姆斯和他的乐队正面临着一些挑战。16．Aambition“志向”，这正是上句格雷顿·詹姆斯写歌比写书更有名的体现。17．Ctells“讲述”，与astory构成搭配，意为“讲述一个故事”。句意：格雷顿·詹姆斯的最新唱片《晚安，年轻的小说家》讲述了一个比一般专辑更广泛的故事。18．Dbehind“在背后”。句意：对于两碟共计超过40首歌曲的传播，詹姆斯说，背后的想法其实很普通。about意为“关于”，对于两碟40首歌曲的播出的意思表达不如behind更能体现出詹姆斯的观点来。19．Bstarted“开始”，这与本句中我真的想得到好的歌曲录音相一致。句意：随着我以前乐队的解体我开始录音过程的记录。prepared意为“准备”；thought意为“思考”；planned意为“计划”。这三项都是未开始的动作，而started是开始做了，更加符合语境所要表达的意思。20．Aforgot“忘记”。句意：在我忘记他们是如何表演的之前，我真的只是想获得好的歌曲录音。understood意为“理解”；remembered意为“记住”；realized意为“意识到”。21．B分析句子结构，这里应为系动词。句意：那听起来有点愚蠢。sound“听起来”，符合句意。22．C分析句子结构及时态，previous“以前的”符合所要表达的意思。句意：我写了50多首歌，但以前的乐队仅仅了解其中的大约20首。23．Dterrible“糟糕的”。句意：我的记忆力确实很糟糕。terrible体现出了我记忆力的糟糕透顶。24．Afinishing“完成”。句意：一完成专辑，詹姆斯立即组织一个新的乐队。finishing体现了詹姆斯在完成专辑后，找乐队进行创作的那种激情和效率。25．C根据语境，乐队的名字应该符合专辑的特点。suitably“合适地”，体现了詹姆斯根据专辑的特点而对乐队进行命名的意思。26．Bprogressing“进步”。句意：他在一年前说，整个乐队的声音质量正在稳步上升。moving意为“移动”；working意为“工作”。这两项不符合句意。developing意为“发展”，尽管符合句子结构，但对于乐队声音质量的提高上表述不如progressing恰当。27．Dcuriosity“奇特”。句意：对我而言，《晚安，年轻的小说家》有一点奇特，因为这点奇特是这个乐队存在的原因。expectation意为“期望”；pride意为“自豪”；happiness意为“幸福”。这三项均符合句子结构和句意，但语境所体现的这个专辑的成功和我对这个专辑的期望表达的不如curiosity更加贴切和恰当。28．Dexists“存在”。句意：因为这是乐队存在的原因。succeeds意为“成功”；fails意为“失败”。这两项本句都未提及。builds意为“建立”，与语境中所表达的已经建立乐队的意思不符。29．Abetter“更好的”，这与下句中farbetter意思相符。句意：我们形成乐队以至于这些生活轨迹能被表达出来，然而乐队真的已经比录制的时候好很多。worse意为“更坏的”；moreclever意为“更聪明”；moreproper意为“更合适”。30．Bexperience“经历”。句意：我非常感谢录制专辑的经历。life意为“生活”；work意为“工作”；process意为“过程”。这三项都符合句子结构和句意，但后面的句子提供的语境，让我们知道experience体现出了录制经历对于我们以后发展的重大意义，而非是生活、工作或过程所能体现出来的。31．Csee“观看”。句意：我希望人们能去看乐队的表演。32．Dlive“现场直播”，与本句中听唱片相对应。句意：无论是听唱片，还是看现场表演……。33．Cskill“技巧”。句意：很明显，詹姆斯的歌曲同时显示了深刻的乐趣和旋律的技巧。34．Btreasure“宝库”，这与however“然而”所要表述的意思形成明显的对比。句意：在二三十年前的音乐大环境中，《晚安，年轻的小说家》被认为是收音机单曲的珍宝。name意为“名字”；fame意为“名望”。这两项与句意不符。symbol意为“符号”，尽管符合句子结构，但不如treasure更能体现出《晚安，年轻的小说家》在当时的出名程度来。35．Afacing“面对”。句意：然而，现在，詹姆斯和他的乐队正面临着他们事业发展中的一些困难。solving意为“解决”；clearing意为“清理”。这两项符合句子结构，但与文章中however转折所表示的意思相反。causing意为“造成”，这与语境及生活常识不符。【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。作者通过自己的经历告诉我们这样一个道理：在生活中宁可多走绕行路，也不要在目标方向上走狭窄的路。因为在人生的绕行路上，你可能会欣赏到更美的风景。36．B细节理解题。由文章第二段中的Wetraveledthewaymostpeopledo：thefastest，shortest，easiestroad...可知，作者之所以这样走是因为这条路是最快、最短而又最好走的。故选B项。37．C细节理解题。由文章第五段中的“Wehadtostopeveryhour，letBannershakeouthislegsandfeedhim.”可知，作者在路上每行驶一个小时就要停下来一次，目的是照顾一下刚出生不久的小羊。38．B推理判断题。在第六段作者讲述了自己沿途所看到的风景，她觉得这才是生活，由此可以知道，她觉得与大自然亲近可以增添生活的乐趣。39．A主旨大意题。文章讲述了作者去父母家和回自己家绕路的途中获得的乐趣，这也印证了著名诗人的那句话，由此我们可以概括出文章的标题：绕行路的魅力。【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。当得知乔布斯是演讲人的时候，学生们并没有很高兴。每个人都想听克林顿演讲。每年如果不是克林顿做演讲人，不论谁来，人们都会很失望。但乔布斯的演讲很开放、很真实，令同学们非常满意。40．B细节理解题。根据第一段可知，学生们都想听克林顿演讲。每年如果不是克林顿做演讲人，他们会很失望。故答案为B项。A项与文章内容不相符；C、D项不是学生失望的原因。41．D推理判断题。第一段谈的是今年毕业典礼的演讲人，第二段谈的是斯坦福大学有一个传统是“走的古怪些”，去听演讲时毕业生们穿着奇装异服，还随手扔海滩球之类的东西，第三段谈的是乔布斯的演讲。故答案为D
