课时作业（十五）

I.阅读理解

【语篇解读】本文主要向我们介绍了几个城市有代表性的交通工具。

1.答案与解析：A主旨大意题。从第一段可以看出不同城市有不同的象征性的交通工

具，有泰国的tuk—tuks；英国的double-decker汽车等。故A项正确。

2.答案与解析：B细节理解题。根据第四段最后伦敦的大多数市民都投票选举了答应

使用double-decker汽车的竞选人，而不给反对这种汽车的竞选人投票。由文章最后一句话

也可得出同样的答案，故选B项。

3.答案与解析：B细节理解题。根据第三段第一句话可知在曼谷，市长禁止这种车的

使用，故B项正确。

4.答案与解析：C推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句话的句意“尽管这些标志性的交

通工具在人们心中占有一席之地，但是跟不上现代社会的发展步伐.”可推知这些旧的交通

方式面临着生存问题。

【语篇解读】本文是议论文。英国正在热议是否应该全面禁止在人行道上停车的问题。

5.答案与解析:C细节理解题。由第二段中JoeIrvin说的“thereis"noexcuse,for

thedisagreementandhascalledontheUKgovernmenttoactthesameway.“可知，

他认为没有借口不同意全面禁止在人行道上停车，因而英国政府应该执行该禁令。

6.答案与解析:B词义猜测题。联系第四段中的uendedupinhospitalafteraparked

carhadblockedhispath"和该画线词前的“acarhadparkeduponthepavement"可

知，此处的it指一辆停在人行道上的小汽车。

7.答案与解析：A推理判断题。由倒数第三段中EdmundKing说的“Itisclearly

possibleinsomeareastoparkonthepavementwhilestillallowingroomforpushchairs

orpeopleinwheelchairstopass."可知，他认为在人行道上停车的同时也可以给行人留

出通过的空间，因而推测他并不支持全面禁止在人行道上停车。

8.答案与解析：D细节理解题，由最后一段可知，Bladon希望司机们在人行道上停

车的时候可以给行人留出一定的空间让他们通过。

II.完形填空

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章叙述了作者上中学时，因为在课堂上不会做题

而被全班取笑。课后老师的一条留言鼓励了她，使作者在以后的求学中更加坚强，更有决心

去克服困难，解决所有遇到的问题。

1.答案与解析：B考查动词辨析。结合文意，老师叫“我”到白板上做(do)一道除法

题。doaproblem为固定搭配，意为“做题；解决问题"。find意为“发现"，make意为

“制作，使"，examine意为“检查；调查”，均不符合文意。故选B项。

2.答案与解析：C考查形容词辨析。结合文章第一段最后一句"Whendoingalong

divisionproblem,Ialways…putthenumbersinthewrongplaces,...forgotto

addinthezeros.”可知，当做长除法题目的时候，“我”总是反复地把数字放在错误的地

方，……忘记加零。由此推知，“我”不擅长数学，数学是“我”成绩最差(worst)的学科。

favorite意为“最喜欢的"，best意为“最好的"，last意为“最后的”，均不符合文意。

故选C项。

3.答案与解析：B考查动词辨析。结合文章第一段第二句"Shecalledmetothe

whiteboardto...alongdivision(除法)problem.w可知，"我”走近(approach)白板

去写题目。move意为“移动”，use意为“使用"，return意为“返回”，均不符合文意。

故选B项。

4.答案与解析：C考查连词辨析。结合下文Impossibletounderstand.可知，

尽管(though)“我”尽了最大的努力，“我”仍然不能明白她所写的，此处为让步状语从句。

if意为“如果"，unless意为“除非"，because意为“因为”，均不符合文意。故选C

项。

5.答案与解析：D考查动词辨析。结合文章第二段第二句"...Itriedmybest,she

wentfasterthanIcouldunderstand.M可知，为什么"我"竭尽全力(try)解决这些除法

问题却还是做不出来。tryone'shardest为固定搭配，意为“尽某人最大的努力"。suggest

意为“建议”，ask意为“问；咨询”，admit意为“承认”，均不符合文意。故选D项。

6.答案与解析：C考查动词辨析。结合文意，“我”抑制住(hold)“我”的眼泪，随

便在黑板上写了一些数字。holdback为固定搭配，意为“抑制；忍住"。giveback意为

“归还”，goback意为“追溯到"，cutback意为“减少，削减”，均不符合文意。故选

C项。

7.答案与解析：A考查动词辨析。结合文意，至于Tara,老师转了(roll)一下眼珠

说，“天哪，我……不知道她在写什么"。close意为“闭上”，focus意为“专注于"，

open意为“打开”，均不符合文意。故选A项。

8.答案与解析：A考查副词辨析。结合句中的Gosh可知，老师对于Tara的所作所为

持否定态度。故老师说“天哪，我甚至(even)不知道她在写什么"。even表示加强语气。never

意为“绝不，永不"，hardly意为“几乎不"，still意为“仍然”，均不符合文意。故选

A项。

9.答案与解析：D考查形容词辨析。结合文章第六段“'AsforTara,'theteacher

said,...hereyes,4Gosh,Idon't...knowwhatshedid.'"可知，全班听到老师

的话哄然大笑……，“我”感到自己的脸因为尴尬而变红(red)了。puzzled意为“困惑的”,

annoyed意为"愤怒的"，pale意为"苍白的"，均不符合文意。故选D项。

10.答案与解析：C考查动词辨析。结合文章第六段“‘AsforTara,'theteacher

said,...hereyes,'Gosh,Idon't...knowwhatshedid.'"可知,"我"希望能

阻止(prevent)他们看至lj"我",因为"我”此时感至U十分羞愧。preventsb.fromdoingsth.

为固定搭配，意为“阻止某人做某事"。protect意为“保护"，judge意为“判断”,differ

意为“与……不同”，均不符合文意。故选C项。

11.答案与解析：A考查动词辨析。结合文意，但是在下课之后，“我”的老师给我

写了一张纸条，上面写着(saying)：没有人会在意你的感受，除非你……自己成功。say常

用于表示书信或者便条的内容，而非常见的“说”的释义。write意为“写"，show意为“展

示”，persuade
