11、d. This sets three warrior cats named Holly leaf, Lion blaze and Jay feather on a journey to find the killer.The three friends must deal with other problems, too. Jay feather is searching for his parents, but he must make up many lies to find them. Holly leaf encounters her own obstacles when her cl
12、an refuses to follow the warrior code. And Lion blaze discovers some unbelievable secrets. All the while, the cats face many dangers and the chance that another warrior will disappear forever.“Erin Hunter” is really a pen name for Victoria Holmes and two other authors, Kate Cary and Cherith Baldry.
13、They chose Hunter to cover the three of them because of Redwall, a very successful book written by Brian Jacques. It is a similar animal fantasy about rats and mice. Because Warriors was going to fit into that bracket, they wanted their books to go onto the bookshelves next to his. So they needed a
14、name that would be close to Jacques alphabetically (按字母排序地). Hunter fits perfectly.“My favorite character is Jay feather. You never know if he is on the side of the angels or not. Hes got a quite dark side. In terms of the cat that I would like to be my best friend, that would be Cinderpelt. She is
15、so cool. She has a great sense of humor and she is a good medicine cat. Even if she wanted to be a warrior, she will make the best of her destiny(命运). I really admire that in her,” said Victoria Holmes.21The three warrior cats go on a journey mainly to _.Asurvive in the wildernessBprotect another wa

17、lots of unbelievable secrets among the clans23The underlined word“bracket” in the third paragraph most probably means “_”Arange BlevelCangle Dspecies24Which of the following is NOT mentioned about Cinderpelt?AShe has a sense of humor.BShe is on the side of the angels.CShe makes the best of her desti
18、ny.DShe is a good medicine cat.B“I dont speak English”these are the first words I learned when I came to America.

19、 from another uncomfortable situation, or I would have to communicate in a language that I was not familiar with.Before coming to the States, I thought I knew English pretty well. But the truth is that the grammarbased and vocabularybased English that is taught in overseas (海外的) schools is not the E
20、nglish people speak in America.But fear not! Once you are in America, you can immediately begin to bridge the gap (弥补差距) between the learned English that you have already known, and the spoken English that is all around you. To do this, first of all, it is important not to fear when you realize that
21、 you may not be as prepared for daily communication as you thought. For me, as soon as I stopped worrying about my accent and started speaking, I made rapid progress. Often the people didnt notice my mistakes because they were so glad to finally be able to communicate with me.Another good idea is to
22、 listen carefully and pay attention to the way in which ideas are expressed. For example, if you are working hard and you want to stop working and rest for a little while, you can either say “I would like to stop working and rest for a while” or “I want to take a quick break from work”. The first se
23、ntence, I quickly learned, sounds dry and too formal for any kind of communication, while the second is an idiom (成语) that is widely used in American English conversation.Finally, use what you have already knownthe vocabulary, the grammar and the spelling. Try to use these into the spoken language f

76、er是三位作家的化名。他们起这个名字是由于之前的一本关于老鼠的奇幻小说。他们书中的人物也属于这一类。因此bracket的意思是“范围”,与range同义。24答案与解析:B推理判断题。本题就书中人物Cinderpelt进行判断,答案出现在第四段。B25答案与解析:B主旨大意题。从第三段开始可以看出作者谈论的都是如何提高口语水平,故答案选B。26答案与解析:D推理判断题。根据第一段第三句“This answer was very effective at ending our conversation and saving me from another uncomfortable situat
77、ion, or I would have to communicate in a language that I was not familiar with.”可知D项正确。27答案与解析:A细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“But the truth is that the grammarbased and vocabularybased English that is taught in overseas schools is not the English people speak in America.”可知学校教的英语与当地人说的不一样,故选A。28答案与解析:C细节理解题。根据第三段第
78、四句话“For me,as soon as I stopped worrying about my accent and started speaking,I made rapid progress.”可知答案C正确。C29答案与解析:B词义猜测题。根据下文“He quickly grabbed his gun and headed into the woods.”可知Matthew发现了一些鹿。hear听到;find发现;catch抓住;fire开火。30答案与解析:A细节理解题。根据第四段“Mayo said she thought she heard Webb call out to h
79、er,asking her to bring him his knife.”可知,不是Matthew让Mayo拿刀子的,故A项不是Matthew做的事情。31答案与解析:C细节理解题。根据第四段“Mayo said she thought she heard Webb call out to her, asking her to bring him his knife.”可知Mayo去找Matthew的原因是误以为Matthew叫她去,故C正确。32答案与解析:C主旨大意题。文章主要谈论的是Matthew在射杀一头鹿时,误射伤了Mayo,结果两个人因为这件事而相爱,所以C能体现文章主旨大意。D
80、33答案与解析:C细节理解题。根据第二段中“.and quickly became very popular and made many friends.”可知。34答案与解析:A细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“.her newfound friends showed their appreciation by holding a surprising birthday party for her.”可知答案。35答案与解析:A判断推理题。根据最后一段可知那位绅士接受了塞尔玛的请求,他们结了婚。第二节答案:3640FEBAC第三部分第一节41答案与解析:CJohn Roebling想要建一座桥,
81、其他的专家都认为那是不可能完成的任务,所以是转折关系。42答案与解析:A别的专家认为那座桥不可能建成,所以劝他放弃/忘掉那个想法。forget“忘记,忽略”;treasure“珍爱,珍惜”;understand“了解”;adopt“采用”。43答案与解析:B他思考很久后认为那座桥能够建成。could表示“能够”。44答案与解析:A从后文的“Working together”可以推出父亲说服儿子,使儿子相信该桥可以建成。convince“说服”;advise“劝告,忠告,建议”;arrange“安排,排列”;promise“允诺,答应”。45答案与解析:D父亲和儿子构思出了关于如何建成桥梁和克服
82、困难的一些想法。overcome difficulties“克服困难”。46答案与解析:D他们开始雇员工建桥。hire“雇佣”;invite“邀请”;fire“解雇”;interview“接见,会见”。47答案与解析:C从后面的转折词but可以推断出工程进展顺利。smoothly“顺利地”;carefully“小心地”;frequently“常常,频繁地”;naturally“自然地”。48答案与解析:A发生了一件悲惨的事故,事故夺去了John Roebling的生命。accident“意外事故,不测事件,(交通)事故”。49答案与解析:B那次的事故导致他不能说话和行动。leave在此表示“使
83、某人处于一种什么状态”。50答案与解析:B后文说要他放弃那个工程,而且前面提到专家都认为不可能建成桥梁,故大家都是给出消极的评论。negative“否定的,消极的”。51答案与解析:C从“though he was never”可以推出Washington并没有失去信心,所以不会放弃。satisfied“满意的”;exhausted“耗尽的,疲惫的”;discouraged“气馁的”;determined“坚决的,决定了的”。52答案与解析:D前文说尽管Washington并没有气馁,所以后文应该是他无法把自己对那个工程的热情传递给朋友们。结合全文可知他对于建造该桥是很有激情的。53答案与解析
84、:D后文说他能够看到天空,所以是风把窗帘吹开了。blow away“吹跑”;blow off“吹掉”;blow out“吹出”;blow apart“吹开”。54答案与解析:C窗外的天空好像给他传达了这样一个信息:不要放弃。message“消息,信息”;notice“通知”;symbol“符号、记号、象征”;image“肖像,图像”。55答案与解析:Amake use of.“利用”,是固定搭配。56答案与解析:A后文说他用这种方式告诉工程师们怎么干活。所以把移动手指当作一种交流方式。57答案与解析:D从后文看是丈夫在妻子手臂上比划,指示妻子传达他的意思。instruction“指示,指令”;
