17、选项中,选出最佳选项。AIt was the summer of 1965. Deluca, then 17, visited Peter Buck, a family friend. Buck asked Deluca about his plan for the future. “Im going to college, but I need a way to pay for it,” Deluca recalls saying. “Buck said, you should open a sandwich shop.”That afternoon, they agreed to be p
18、artners. And they set a goal: to open 32 stores in ten years. After doing some research, Buck wrote a check for $1,000. Deluca rented a storefront (店面) in Connecticut, and when they couldnt cover their startup costs, Buck kicked in another $1,000.But business didnt go smoothly as they expected. Delu
19、ca says, “After six months, we were doing poorly, but we didnt know how badly, because we didnt have any financial controls.” All he and Buck knew was that their sales were lower than their costs.Deluca was managing the store and to the University of Bridgeport at the same time. Buck was working at
20、his day job as a nuclear physicist in New York. Theyd meet Monday evenings and brainstorm ideas for keeping the business running. “We convinced ourselves to open a second store. We figured we could tell the public, We are so successful; we are opening a second store.” And they didin the spring of 19
21、66. Still, it was a lot of learning by trial and error.But the partners learnasyougo approach turned out to be their greatest strength. Every Friday, Deluca would drive around and handdeliver the checks to pay their supplies. “It probably took me two and a half hours and it wasnt necessary but as a
22、result, the suppliers got to know me very well, and the personal relationships established really helped out,” Deluca says.And having a goal was also important. “There are so many problems that can get you down. You just have to keep working toward your goal,” Deluca adds.Deluca ended up founding Su
23、bways Sandwich, the multimilliondollar restaurant chain. 36Deluca opened the first sandwich shop in order to _.Asupport his familyBpay for his college education Chelp his partner expand businessDdo some research 37Which of the following is true of Buck?

25、lacked control over the quality of sandwich. 39They decided to open a second store because they _. Ahad enough money to do it Bhad succeeded in their business Cwished to meet the increasing demand of customers Dwanted to make believe(假装)that they were successful 40What contributes most to their succ
26、ess according to the author? ALearning by trial and error.BMaking friends with supplies. CFinding a good partner.DOpening chain stores.BI heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You shoul
27、d be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching (紧握) at one anothers hands for reassur
28、ance.They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up huddled (聚在一起) round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thusandsuch a way is that the crowd is doing it. They
29、have come out of their cocoon (蚕茧) into a larger_cocoon.It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager sh
30、ould have and be. And many of todays parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to c
31、lassical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you dont care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will comewith the people who respect you for
32、 who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts.41In this passage, the author wants to tell _.Ateenagers to try to pursue their real selvesBreaders to try to be popular with people aroundCparents to try to control and guide their childrenDpeople to try to understand and respect
33、each other42The author disapproves of rebelling teenagers _.Agrowing away from their parentsBfollowing the popularity trend Cwalking a new way on their ownDturning to their friends for help43.The phrase “larger cocoon” at the end of the second paragraph refers to _.Athe distractive and variable soci

DAuthoritative.45According to the author, what might happen when a teenager stands up against the popularity wave and foll
35、ows his/her own path?AHe/She falls behind the time.BHe/She loses good friends.CHe/She faces all kinds of criticism.DHe/She gains valuable popularity.CBeauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy.Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier,have better marriages and
36、 have more respectable occupations.Personal consultants give them better advice for finding jobs.Even judges are softer on attractive defendants(被告)But in the executive circle,beauty can become a liability.While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder,it is h
37、armful to a woman.Handsome male executives were thought as having more integrity than plainer men;effort and ability were thought to account for their success.Attractive female executives were considered to have less integrity than unattractive ones;their success was attributed not to ability but to
38、 factors such as luck.All unattractive women executives were thought to have more integrity and to be more capable than the attractive female executives.Interestingly,though,the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was attributed more to personal relationships and less to ability than that o
39、f attractive overnight successes.Why are attractive women not thought to be able?An attractive woman is thought to be more feminine and an attractive man more masculine(有男子气概的)than the less attractive ones.Thus,an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs,but an attractive woman
40、 in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the“masculine”qualities required.This is true even in politics.“When the only clue is how he or she looks,people treat men and women differently,”says Anne Bowman,who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candi
41、dates.She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs,one of men and one of women,in order of attractiveness.The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices.They were asked to rank them again,in the order they would vote for them.The results sho
42、wed that attractive males utterly defeated unattractive men,but the women who had been ranked most attractive invariably received the fewest votes.46The underlined word “liability”(in Para.1)most probably means “_”Amisfortune BinstabilityCdisadvantage Dburden47In traditionally female jobs,attractive

Id like to tell you what I have planned for your Chinese study. _Best wishes.Li Hua综合能力训练卷(七)第一部分第一节1A考查冠词用法。out of control失去控制;south这里是副词,其前不用冠词。2D考查动词时态。根据句子中关键词last month可知属于过去的时态,再结合语境可知选择D项。句意:“最近你去哪儿了?”“上个月我到北京出差了一个星
62、期。”3C考查动词的时态。根据语境“我不知道。但是他今天上午在做作业”可知用过去进行时。4B考查动词辨析。这里表示这个地方已经被两个陌生人占领了。conquer征服;occupy占据,占有,占领;possess拥有;own拥有。5D考查倒装和非谓语动词。在sothat结构中,若将“soadj./adv.”置于句首,则其后的主句要用部分倒装。后一空格是独立主格结构。6B考查特殊句式。句中有连词and,本题是“祈使句and简单句”结构,故选B。前面的祈使句也可以是名词(短语)。7C考查交际用语。With pleasure表示乐意为别人提供帮助;Fine,thank you一般回答How are y
63、ou;good idea表示对对方提议表示赞同;never mind表示自己对他人的打扰等不介意。根据语境可知C项正确。8C考查代词it的用法。句意:由于当地政府的努力,大城市里的就业率持续升高。it代指前面提到的“the employment rate”,是单数,而them和those是复数。9B考查虚拟语气。句意:“我把我的手包落在火车上了。但幸运的是,有人拾到交给了一个铁路职员。”“失而复得,简直难以置信!我是说,本来可能有人会偷了去。”will have done将来可以完成;must have done一定做过某事,表示对过去事情的肯定推测,都与题意不符。should have do
64、ne本来应该做某事,而实际没做。might have done过去可能做过,语气比较婉转或不肯定,根据句意选B项。10C考查介词短语辨析。句意:一个政府的成功应该根据其人民的健康和幸福以及其经济发展来衡量。in face of面对;in place of代替;in terms of根据,按照,就来说;in line with与一致。11B考查定语从句。句意:我和我的朋友走上山顶,在那里我们欣赏了湖的美景。where引导非限制性定语从句,并在从句中作地点状语,其先行词为the top of the hill。12B考查状语从句。before“在之前;到才;来不及”;until表示“直到才”时,谓
65、语动作到会结束。而“it will be时间段before”表示“要多久才会”,符合句意。13B考查主谓一致及时态。句意:这家人有一部分出去度假了。他们应该在本月底回来。family这里指家人,再根据后面的“They are”选B项。14C考查形容词比较级。这里用“the比较级,the比较级”结构表示“越就越”。从语境和选项看,只有C项正确。15A考查名词性从句。此处whoever anyone who 引导主语从句,而whomever在句子中是作宾语。no matter who只引导状语从句。第二节16Dbe involved in“被卷入”,本句的意思是“我开的车和另一辆车在一条乡村小道上
66、发生了严重的碰撞”,车辆发生车祸,一般用be involved in。be caught in“遇上,遭遇到”;be trapped in“被困在”,用于本句时主语不对,要用I;be lost in “迷失”。故选D。17B上文说到严重车祸,那么作为司机的“我”(昏迷醒来后)发现(find)自己18C一个巨大的开罐器把“我”从撞毁了的汽车里拖出来,故选get。get sb. out of sth.是常用搭配。19A“我”从汽车中被拖出来后,又被送到救护车里(into)。20Asurvive death 死里逃生,21D注意整个长句表达的意思:我知道从死亡的边缘幸存下来了,这让我撑过了急诊室里漫
67、长的等待,同时也帮助(help)我应付到医院来看望我的人的悲伤。22B只有在“我”确信最后一个朋友离开(leave)了,“我”才能把我的注意力集中在医院内部。23Astay表示短时间的逗留、停留,这里表示在“我”住院期间,本句正常语序是the Red Cross lady was flitting in and out of my line of vision during my hospital stay. 在“我”住院期间,一个红十字会的女士在“我”的面前进进出出。24Cgentle presence表示“举止温和”。25B在病房中端茶送水。26D从上文可以看出,“她”的工作就是陪护,所以
68、在访友走后,她要来检查(“我”的情况。)27D从下文的描述可以得知,在“我”住院期间我和她谈了很多事:对于车祸的震惊,车祸受伤后“我”对待家人的方式,还有“我”生活的一切。28A注意选项的区别:accident事故;incident事情;event事件;occasion场合。29C救护车要送“我”到另一家医院,她站在“我”的推车旁,握着“我”的手听我倾诉,这些事应该是在快要离开这家医院时发生的。30A参见上题解析。31D从上文的叙述中可以得知,她照顾病人很用心,对于“我”的情感发泄会“倾听”。32Aknowledge (n.)知识,学问;知道,了解。“我”和她接触交流,形成了“我”对自己伤势的
69、了解。that I have her contact details是knowledge同位语从句。33D病人和陪护人员之间的沟通给“我”很大的“宽慰”。34B既然是再次相逢,当然是等“我”伤愈了这样一个“更加快乐”的氛围中了。35C注意与开头的呼应,被一个陌生人的“友善”唤醒。第二部分A36B细节理解题。由第一段关键句“Im going to college, but I need a way to pay for it”可知其目的是为了支付大学的费用。37A由第二段关键句“Buck wrote a check for $1000”和“Buck kicked in another $1000
70、.”可知Buck是投资人,他投入了很多运转资金。38C推理判断题。由第三段的内容描述可判断出他们的第一家商店由于经营不善,入不敷出。39D细节理解题。由第四段的“We convinced ourselves to open a second store. We figured we could tell the public, We are so successful; we are opening a second store.”可知他们之所以开第二家商店主要就是为了向公众证明他们是成功的。40A推理判断题。总结全文故事发展脉络,根据第四段最后一句话“Still, it was a lot
71、of learning by trial and error.”可推出他们取得成功的主要原因在于他们的坚持不懈,反复尝试。B41A主旨大意题。文章首先分析了青少年从众这一不良现象,然后告诉我们,要想有所作为,青少年应该有自己的特色,并分析了其意义和困难,由此可见,关键词就是teenagers。故选A。42B推理判断题。由文章可知,作者并不赞成青少年从众。43D词义猜测题。这是对上文的“wear the same clothes,they all end up huddled (聚在一起) round listening to the same record”的比喻,指的就是社会上的流行波。44
72、C推理判断题。倒数第二段作者说“All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.”All this就包括前文说的广告(advertisements),也就是说作者认为,广告对青少年的流行波是有影响的,故选C。45.D推理判断题。文章告诉青少年应该如何走自己的路,最后一句又告诉他们这样做的意义:That is the only kind of popularity that really counts.由此可以看出D项正确。选项中的关键词为:popularity。
73、valuable对应count。C46C词义猜测题。前文都在讲美丽给人们带来的优势,但该句中出现了but,可知liability是“缺点,劣势”的意思,所以选择C。47A细节理解题。根据倒数第三段的最后一句可知答案为A。48D推理判断题。根据最后一段可知调查的结果表明,人们更倾向于选择漂亮的男士,而最漂亮的女士得票最少。所以选D项。49B推理判断题。根据作者在全文中所表达的意思可知,人们对于美的观点有所偏见。50C主旨大意题。根据第一段的最后一句以及全文内容可知。D51B细节理解题。从第一段第一句话即可得知答案为B。52C细节理解题。从Convenient一段可知the Winners Clu
74、b的服务对于它的成员来说是方便的,不需要去银行,通过电话或在网络上就可以操作。53D细节理解题。从文中信息句you will receive a FREE magazine full of good ideas to make even more of your money.可知答案为D。54B细节理解题。从文中信息句And it is so easy to join. Simply fill in an application form. You will have to get permission from your parent or guardian理解得知如果十几岁的青少年要加入该
75、俱乐部必须取得父母或监护人的同意。55D推理判断题。本文介绍了一种针对青少年的存款账户,重点介绍了该账户的几个优点。第三部分第一节56How to improve your memory./ Ways to improve memory.57Improved organization can help free up your powers of concentration so that you can remember less routine things.58keep your brain active / improve your memory59Possible answers:
