2、Theauthorjoinedhisfriendandrushedtothehospitalatonce.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：B

知识点解析：根据原文中，“ForamomentIjuststoodthere,paralyzed."，“Sol

decidedtoheadbacktomyfolk'shouseandcheckinwithmyfriendlater.“可知，作

者并没有和他的朋友一起赶往医院，而是决定事后再到他朋友家探望，符合原文。

3、Theauthorwastalkingtohisfriendwhenacarcamescreaminguptheroadtowards

thecourts.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：B

知识点解析：从原文中可知"Whilewewereplaying,acar…”，本题不符合原文，

不正确。

4、Atlast,Idecidedtodrivetothehospitalandgivetrimthekeys.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：A

知识点解析：从文中判断，作者先开始是打算事后再与朋友联系，但朋友的钥匙丢

在车上了，所以最后勉强决定把钥匙送到医院。可依据"Reluctantly【decidedtc

swingbythehospitalandgivehimthekeys.”可知，此句话正确。

5、Theauthorthoughtthatthemostimportantthingisthetimewhenyouarejust

someone'sfriendinlife.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：A

知识点解析：作者由于律师职业的原因缺乏感性的一面，对待身边发生的事情缺乏

感情，在文章最后一段祚者认识到“…Themostimportantthinginlifeisthekid's

teamyoucoachorthepoemyouwriteorthetimewhenyou'rejustsomebody's

friend.”以此可判断此句符合文章意思。

6、Theauthorhadlearnedfromhisownexperiencethatalawyercannotlearnmuchin

classrooms.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：B

知识点解析：文中并不是想说明作者在法律课堂上学不到有用知识，只是说明在某

些情况下律师的人性感情和逻辑思维同等重要。都可以给予处在困难的人帮助。从

文中“AndyetitwascriticalthatIdojustthatjustbetherewhensomeoneneeded

me.”可判断此句话与原文不符，带有一定的片面性。

7、Itwashisfriend^wifewhocameandbrokethebadnewsthathisfriend^baby;vas

senttothehospital.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：A

知识点解析：此句可根据原文"ItwasmyfriencTsfather,…”，很容易判断不止确。

8、Thefriendoftheauthorwasalawyertoo.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：C

知识点解析：文中并没有提到他的朋友是从事什么职业的，无从依据。

9、ThethingsIhadlearnedinthelawschoolistotakeasetoffacts,them

andorganizethem.

标准答案：break...down

知识点解析：此句是问在法律学校，学校都教我们了些什么，文中"Lawschool

taughtmehowtotakeasetoffacts,breakthemdown…”可以找出此空，在此表达通

过分析列出类别。

10、Theauthorthoughthewouldnotbeofmuchhelp,sohedecidedtohisfriend

later.

标准答案:checkinwith

知识点解析：此题表达了作者想到帮不上朋友很大的忙，所以决定和朋友晚些再联

系。checkinwith表达与...联系,符合题意。在文中"SoIdecidedtoheadbackto

myfolk'shouseandcheckinwithmyfriendletter.”也可找至U答案。

11、Hisfriendhadjusthadababyboy,whowasthematnight.

标准答案：keepingup

知识点解析:从文中第三段“Heandhiswifbhadjuslhadababyboy,whowas

keepingthemupatnight."可得到答案。

三、听力短对话（本题共5题，每题1.0分，共5分。）

12、

A、Shethinksthemanshouldtakeaseconddegree.

B、Shethinksadoublemajorwouldbemorevalued.

C、Shethinksthemanshouldtakeamajorandaminorinstead.

D、Shethinksthemanshouldconsiderthematterseriously.

标准答案：C

知识点露析♦：这是个非典型形式的建议题，建议是一句看似很平常的陈述句。男士

设想自己如果选两个专业，就不用再多学一个学位了。女士则轻描淡写地指出人们

没有意识到主修一个专业辅修一个专业和修两个一样有价值。其实是建议男士选一

个主修一个辅修。本题要求学生熟悉学位、主修和辅修的英语表达。

13、

A、Thestationerystorehascloseddown.

Thestationerystoreisclosed.

C、Theshopassistantshaveallleftatthatmoment.

D、Theshopassistantsofthestorehavegoneforalongtime.

标准答案：A--

知识点解析：begone“消失了”，在这个对话里应该理解为“关门倒闭了另外第一

人问是不是应该给文具店打电话时，第二人说的“saveyourbreath”（别白费力了、省

口气吧）也从侧面说明callthem已经没有必要了。begone的最相近释义应是close

down,此题选A。Bclose只表示“不营业”，没有关门倒闭的意思，C、D意思相

近，都是对原对话的误解。

14、

A、Sheisfull.

B、Thecupisalreadyfull.

C>Shewouldbeimpolitetoacceptanother.

D^Shethinksshewouldbefoolishtorefusesinceit'sdelicious.

标准答案:A

知识点解析：本题重点在女士的答话上，"I'dbeoverdoingitifIhadonemore.”用了

虚拟语气，意思是我要是再来一杯就喝得过多了。overdo是“过度、过火”的意思，

在这里指喝得过多。女士这样说喑示自己已经喝得很多（sheisfull）,不能再喝了。

15、

A、Hehasotherplansfortheevening.

B、Heislookingforwardtoattendingtheparty.

C、HeoftenmissesLinda'sparties.

D^HewantstoknowifheshouldbringanythingtoLinda'sParty.

只有选项B能反映男士的态度。

16、

A、Itisverypopular.

Theyaresellingitsecond-hand.

C、Itisaboutfood-making.

D、They,IItrytoimproveitsoon.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：selllikehotcakes是个习语，意指非常受欢迎。女士的话thcyllbe

runningasecondprint意思是这本书会再次印刷，从侧面证明此书的畅销。

买一颗同样的珍珠。最后一位老妇人拿着珍珠上了门，珠宝商便以25,000美元的

价格买下了这颗珍珠，但是当他通知那个“富商”时，"富商''却销声匿迹了。在整个

故事结束时我们不难推断，这是“富商”设的一个骗局，他和老妇人是同伙，当初买

珍珠没有讨价还价是为了获取珠宝商的信任，为之后的行骗打下基础。

同，故选之。

知识点解析：推理题。浏览选项可知，该题与金钱的数目有关。由33题的分析可

majorJ)receivedC)impossibleK)difficultiesD)testedL)knowledgeE)finallyM)

availableF)responseN)basicallyG)ownO)overcomeH)happiness

45、[SI]

标准答案：O

知识点解析；分析句子结构可知，本空应填一原形动词，形成helpsb.dosth.的

结构。trial在这里意为“困难”,指notbeingabletospeakEnglish所带来的麻烦,因

此grade-schoolstudents应是“克服，战胜”困难(ihetrials),故选O)overcomeo

46、[S2]

标准答案：M

知识点解析：本空所填词应能被readily修饰且能与空后的for连用。该句概括出过

去的情况，该段第二句举出YolandaPadr6n的例子，其中的withoutabilingual

program应和空格所在句意思一致，故选M)available<>其中suchvitalcurriculum指

的就是abilingualprogram,notalwaysreadilyavailable和without对应。

47、[S3]

标准答案：K

知识点解析：空前的〔he表明，本空应填一名词，且该名词应能和experienced构成

动宾搭配。上段第二句提到双语教育帮助学生克服不能讲英语这个麻烦，而本句从

反面说明：没有双语教育，学生会在学习生活中遇到麻烦，而接下来的几段都在说

明这一点。选项中与此语境相符合的应为K)difficulties,同时它也能和experienced

搭配使用，表示“经历困难

48、[S4]

标准答案：L

知识点解析：空格前的working是形容词，决定此空所填词应为名词。根据上文提

出她movedfromCubatotheUnitedStates和下段提到的Ididn'tspeakEnglish可以看

出那时她不懂英语,故选L)knowledge«workingknowledgeofEnglish意为“足够运

用的英语知识”。

49、[S5]

标准答案：B

知识点解析：空所在位置决定此处应填能修饰disadvantage的形容词。下段是对本

空所在句的具体说明，Padr6n和其他讲英语的学生比起来的劣势以及这一不利因

素所带来的影响(留级两次)说明了这个劣势的严重性，故选B)major。空前的a提

示所填词不能是impossible.

50、[S6]

标准答案：F

知识点解析：空前的the表明，本空应填一名词。从该段的层次可以看出本空所在

句是对前面的总结，而ihal指的就是前面几句话表达的意思：当她搬到Landover

时，由于不懂英语，学校让她留级一年：而搬到休斯顿后，还是不懂英语，于是又

留级一年。因此可知对于不懂英语的学生，学校的反应就是让其留级。选项中能准

确总结上文的词应为F)response0

51、[S7]

标准答案：J

知识点解析：分析本句结构可知，空所在句缺少谓语，再根据本段讲的是Padr6n

过去的经历可知，本空应填一过去式形式的动词。下文中的attentionfrom

concernedteachers表明，一些老师开始关注Padr6n,因此应该是接受这种关注，故

选J)received.

52、[S8]

标准答案：D

知识点解析：后文指出学校得出结论：尽管Padr6n不懂英语，但她和其他学生处

于同一水平。这个结论是如何得出的呢?选项中能连接上下文意思的词只有

D)tested,因为只有经过测试或调查才可能得出结论。

53、[S9]

标准答案：G

知识点解多空格所在位置决定所填词应为能修饰age的词。同时，Bytheeighth

grade提示后一句是前一句的递进，因此herpeergroup指的应该是otherstudentsof

her...age,故选G）own。

54、[S10]

标准答案：N

知识点解析：经分析可知，空所在句不缺主体成份，故木空应填副词，E）和N）入

选。上文一直在说她不懂英语，而到了八年级，她能加入同伴们的谈话了，这里强

调的是一个渐进的过程，结合Padr6n并无语言基础的事实可知应选N）basicallyo

匕）finally表达的是一种最终结果，和文意不相符，因为她以后肯定能更精通英语，

八年级时达到的水平并不是一个终点，故排除。
