答案以及解析

1.答案：airline

解析：

2.答案:peak

解析：

3.答案：breath

解析：

4.答案：curtains

解析：

5.答案：freezing

解析：

6.答案：Thunder

解析：

7.答案：bunch

解析：

8.答案：border

解析：

9答案:drilling

解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：同样的原理也被用于一种油田的钻探方法。所填词作介词of

的宾语,因此应该用动名词形式。

10.答案：Seen

解析：考查非谓语动词。句意:从山顶上看，这所学校看起来像一个大花园。see与句子主语

theschool之间是被动关系，因此应该用过去分词。

11.答案：literally

解析：考查副词。句意:我从字面上理解他说的话，但他实际上另有所指。所填词修饰动词

took,因此应该是副词。

12.答案：confirming

解析：考查非谓语动词。句意:这是一条自动回复,确认您的电子邮件己收到。因为前面已经

有谓语动词,所以此处应该用非谓语动词,confirm与其逻辑主语reply之间为主动关系，所

以应该用现在分词。

13.答案：peaks

解析：考查名词单复数。句意：山顶终年积雪。所填词作主语，根据谓语动词可知，应该用名

词复数。

14.答案：pleasant/pleasing

解析：考查词性转换。句意:艾丽斯很高兴发现她脾气这么好。所填词作定语，修饰temper,

由此可知应填pleasant或pleasing,表示“令人愉快的”。

15.答案：Allinall

解析：

二.答案：(1)-(3)ADD

解析：(1).词义猜测题。文章第三段描述的内容是:从山顶到山坡和山谷,都是盛开的水仙花,

中间挂着一条紫色的风信子瀑布,到处都是令人叹为观止的郁金香。由此可知hyacinths应

该指的是一种花。故选A项。

(2).细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段"Imagine,"Iadded,“ifIhadavisionand

workedatit,justalittlebiteveryday,whatmightIhaveaccomplished?”可知，

作者的感触是:成功在于点滴的积累。故选D项。

(3).主旨大意题o本文讲述了作者通过自己的一次野外经历从一位女士身上受到启发一一成

功在于点滴的积累。故选D项。

三.答案：①一⑤sights;totake;a;was;drilling

⑥一⑩where;eventually;thundered;that;their

解析：①考查名词单复数。sight在此处意为“风景”，常用复数形式。

②考查非谓语动词。两个女孩早早起床的目的是赶火车,应用不定式短语作目的状语。

③考查冠词。coach是可数名词,在文中第一次出现,表泛指，因此用不定冠词a。

④考查时态及主谓一致。“oneof+复数名词”作主语，谓语动词用单数。结合文章语境可知,

此处应用一般过去时，故填was。

⑤考查非谓语动词。此处表示石油和天然气钻探工业,因此应该用动名词,说明被修饰名词的

用途,与前面的oilandgas一起作定语，修饰industry»

⑥考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，设空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是provinces,

从句中缺少地点状语，因此用where»

⑦考查副词。设空处作状语，修饰其后整个句子,因此应该用副词。

⑧考查时态。根据文章语境可知,此处应该用一般过去时表示过去发生的动作,故填

thunderedo

⑨考查强调句型。"Itwas...that..."是强调句型，被强调部分是notuntil9:30a.m.。

⑩考查代词。设空处作定语,因此应该用形容词性物主代词，修饰trip,故填their。

解析：1.推理判断题。根据第一段第二句Itissaidthatourbodymovementscommunicate

about50%ofwhatwereallymeanwhilewordsthemselvesonlydo7%.可知，肢体语言

项。

2.词义猜测题°根据后面的itshowsthatyouhaveapeacefulpurpose.Itmeans

acceptance,andthatyou'reopentonewideas可知，画线词意为“亲切的；友好的”，

与friendly同义，故选C项。

3.推理判断题。根据第五段中Don'thaveabadhandshake.和Becarefulofthedeadfish

handshake.可知A项错误;根据最后一段中的youthinkyouareexpressinginterestby

leaningyourheadwhenyouarelisteningtoothers,butyouactuallycomeacross

asifyoudon，tunderstandwhat'sgoingon可知B项错误;C项文中没有提及；根据第四

段中的Don'tavoideyecontact.Eyescanspeak.可知D项正确。故选D项。

4.主旨大意题。根据第二段尾句Thefollowingaresometipsonwhatyoushouldnotdo

注意的事项。故选A项。

self-improvement自我提高.作者并不是说仅靠自信就可以独自从不熟悉的楼梯上下来.

8.modest谦虚的；energetic精力充沛的；generous慷慨的；positive积极乐观的.作者

虽然不完美，但还是一个实实在在的、乐观积极的人，故选D.
