综合检测(一)1．Bgreedy“贪婪的”；generous“慷慨大方的”；mean“吝啬的”；unkind“不友好的”。根据句中的语境“offertopayforusboth”可知此处表示“他真是太慷慨了”，故选B。2．Dbedesperateforsth.“渴望得到某物”，为习惯搭配，故选D。3．D句意：这是一个二选一的情况——我们要么今年买一辆新车要么去度假，但是我们不能二者兼得。分析题意可知，这是在两者之间进行选择，所以排除A、C两项，either用在否定句中表示全部否定，而both用在否定句中表示部分否定，所以选D。4．B句意：我讨厌你像这样对待我。dislike后跟宾语从句时，一般把it放在其中作形式宾语，后面再加上if或疑问词引导的宾语从句。5．B句意：她想知道该如何描述一个以古代中国为背景的场面。besetin“以……为背景”，setin与scene之间为被动关系，故用过去分词短语作后置定语。6．C考查动词用法。句意：八国集团是由世界上最富有的八个国家组成的。consistof“由……组成”，无被动和进行时，意思相当于bemadeupof。consistin“在于”。故选C。7．B句意：这男孩一心想成为一个足球运动员。bebenton意为“一心一意要，决心要”，符合语境。其他三个选项并无系表结构，decideonsth.“就某事做出决定”，takeon“呈现”，carryon“继续开展”，故选B。8．D句意：汤姆问糖果制造商是否他们能让巧克力更容易被掰成小块。本句中easier是宾语补足语，用不定式作状语，故选D。9．A考查动词词义辨析。句意：——我的儿子正在学习英语。我应该为他买什么词典？——这本怎么样？这本是专门为初学者设计的。beintendedfor“为……准备，专供……使用”。故选A。10．A考查介词短语辨析。句意：只允许你一次借一本书。atatime意思是“一次，每次”；attimes意思是“时常”；atnotime意思是“决不”；atonetime意思是“曾经，一度”。根据句意可知答案选A。11．C考查固定搭配。句意：既然你如此忙，你愿意让谁写这个报告？wouldratherhavesth.“宁愿让某人做某事”。12．A考查名词辨析。句意：那个国家的老年人享有某些特殊待遇，诸如免费医疗和免费进入公立公园。privilege“特权，特殊待遇”；reputation“声望”；invitation“请柬”；possession“财产”。13．D句意：他是个小偷。如果我是你的话，我就会与他没有任何关系。havenothingtodowith...“和……无关”，符合语境，故选D。14．C考查固定结构。wouldratherdo...thando...“宁愿做……而不做……”，故选C。15．B句意：如果她履行了诺言，她就已经上耶鲁大学了。lookupto“仰望，尊重”；keepupwith“赶上，与……保持同步”；comeupwith“想到，提出(主意、观点等)”。liveuptoone'spromise“(某人履行诺言)”符合题意，故选B。16．Bbattle战斗。17．C关于他们的孩子该学习多少，什么样的成绩能让人接受(acceptable)的问题，他们的家成了经常“战斗”的场所。18．C主要的“战斗”在他们的拒绝(refuses)学习的小儿子身上。19．A他们越是强迫(pressure)他，他的叛逆性就越强。下文有提示词。20．D彼得缺乏(lacks)自信，对与他的姐姐们相比感到厌烦。21．B虽然彼得想取得好成绩，但是他害怕失败(failure)，因此不愿尝试。22．B约翰和芭芭拉很重视(attachgreatimportanceto)孩子的成绩和成功。23．A他们觉得很难(difficult)确定他们对彼得的将来该负多少责任。24．D他们认为彼得的“失败”就是他们的“失败”，这让他们产生更多的焦虑(anxiety)。25．C他们衡量(measure)父母的自我价值的方式是看孩子的学习成绩。26．Aashamed羞愧的。27．C他们羞于向别人承认彼得在学习方面表现不好。28．A彼得认识到这点，同时感到受伤害(hurt)的是：父母认为别人的看法比他自己的看法更重要。29．B他感到被误解、被排斥(rejected)、缺乏爱。30．D他需要得到别人的认可和爱，不管(regardlessof)他的成绩如何。31．D他父母确实爱他。然而(However)，父母对他将来的忧虑，他们自己作为父母的价值观以及别人对他们的看法，阻碍了他们表达他们的爱。32．Cbut但是，此处为转折关系。33．Aprotect保护。34．D彼得很想让父母高兴，但是他害怕失败和靠反抗父母的压力来保护他的自由和自我价值感的需求成为他爱父母的障碍(barriers)。35．D彼得和他的父母都需要分析(analyze)自己，并摆脱阻碍他们体验爱、表达爱的固有观念。36．A细节理解题。根据文章第四段倒数第一、二句话可知JaneEyre出版于1847年。其余选项都与文章所给信息不符合，故排除。37．D细节理解题。根据文章第四段Itwasnotpublisheduntil1859.可知TheProfessor这本书出版于1859年；同时根据最后一段可知Charlotte死于1855年。38．C根据文章第四段可知勃朗特三姐妹在1847年分别出版了JaneEyre(Charlotte)；WutheringHeights(Emily)和AgnesGrey(Anne)。再根据第五段的第一句话可知正确选项。39．C细节理解题。根据文章第三段开头可知勃朗特三姐妹的出生年代：Charlottewasborninwasbornin1818andAnnein1820.和第五段最后一句话Emilylivedonlyashortwhileafterthepublicationofherbook，andAnnediedin1849.和最后一段Charlotte死于1855年可以简单计算勃朗特三姐妹都没有活到40岁。其余选项都与文章所给信息不符合，故排除。【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。主要讲述了作者就奥巴马写的一本书同朋友进行交谈，发现朋友撒谎说看过这本书的故事，从而引出了本文要讨论的主题：很多人明明没有看过某一本书，但是仍然说看过，这样做是为了给人留下知识渊博的印象。40．D细节理解题。根据第一段中的However，hethenwentontotalkaboutMrObamainawaywhichsuggestedhehadnoideaofhisbackgroundatall.可知，当作者和这位朋友继续交谈关于奥巴马的情况时，发现这位朋友对他的背景一点儿也不知道，表明这个朋友并没有真正看过这本书，他撒谎了。A项表示通过他的说话方式；B项表示通过调查他的背景；C项表示提到一个著名的名字，这些均与原文的信息不一致，故选D项。41．B细节理解题。根据第二段中的Approximatelytwothirdsofpeoplehavelied...IntheWorldBookDay's“ReportonGuiltySecrets”，DreamsFromMyFatherisatnumber9.和后面的．..unlike42percentofpeople，Ihavereadthebookatnumberone...可知，guiltysecret指的是人们撒谎说读过某本书这样的情况，故B项符合语境。作者并未承认看了9本书，而是DreamsFromMyFather这本书排名第9，故排除C项；A项表示查尔斯·狄更斯在书单中排名比较低，无依据；D项中的hardly错误。而且这三项均与guiltysecret不相关。42
