15、飞走。“我”从这件事得到启发:人们在遇到困难的时候,不应冒昧地尝试,应该有所突破,才有机会获得成功。1.A.seeingBcrying outCwatchingDlistening to解析句意为:我听到了绝望的声音。listen to“听到”。A、B、C三项均没有“听到”的意思。答案D2A. struggleBcryCyellDtest解析struggle意为“挣扎,斗争”;cry意为“哭,喊叫”;yell意为“叫喊”;test意为“测试”。由第二段第四句中“the struggle is part of trap”的提示可知,此处应选用struggle。答案A3A. birdBflyCin
16、sectDworm解析bird意为“鸟”;fly意为“苍蝇”;insect意为“昆虫”;worm意为“爬虫”。由第二段第五句中的“the fly to try hard enough to succeed in.”可知,B项正确。答案B4A. experienceBdirectionCforceDattempt解析experience意为“经验,经历”;direction意为“方向”;force意为“武力”;attempt意为“尝试”。根据上下文语境可知,苍蝇正在尝试穿过玻璃飞出去。答案D5A. ThusBSoCAlthoughDHowever解析thus意为“因而”;so意为“所以”;alt
17、hough意为“虽然”;however意为“然而”。句意为:虽然苍蝇不断地尝试穿过玻璃窗,然而并不奏效。前后两句是转折关系。答案D6A. unusualBlikelyCimpossibleDcommon解析unusual“不同寻常的”;likely“可能的”;impossible“不可能的”;common“寻常的”。由常识可知,苍蝇是不可能成功穿过玻璃飞出去的。答案C7A. diggingBbreakingCpushingDjumping解析dig“挖掘”;break“打破”;push“推”;jump“跳”。短语break through意为“突破,冲破”,符合语境。答案B8A. killBd
18、ieClieDstick解析kill“杀死”;die“死”;lie“撒谎,躺”;stick“粘贴”。由常识判断,如果苍蝇不断地撞击玻璃,就会死在那里。答案B9A. awayBfarCnearDdistant解析away“距离远”;far“远的”;near“近的”;distant“远的”。away用在名词后,表示距离某地有多远,符合语境。答案A10A. dreamsBthinks ofCmissesDlongs for解析dream“梦想”;think of“考虑”;miss“怀念,错过”;long for“渴望”。句意为:只需十秒钟的飞行,这只苍蝇就能飞到外面它所渴望的世界。答案D11A. d

20、显的”。句意为:突破的可能性就在那里,是那么简单。答案A14A. attemptBanythingCstruggleDsomething解析something“某事,某物”,常用于肯定句;anything“任何事物”,常用于否定句和疑问句。在表示请求、建议或征求意见的疑问句中常用something。答案D15A. thatBwhatCwhichDwhere解析that可引导定语从句,也可引导名词性从句;what引导名词性从句;which引导形容词性从句;where可引导定语从句和状语从句。从句中不缺任何成分,且句中先行词是idea,所以其后要用that来引导同位语从句,对idea进行补充说明。
21、答案A16A. senseBdifferenceCeffectDeffort解析sense“感觉,意识”,常和make构成短语,make sense意为“有意义”;difference“区别,不同”;effect“影响”;effort“努力”。句意为:毫无疑问,这种方法对这只苍蝇来说是有意义的。答案A17A. ofBfromCoffDto解析在solution的后面常跟to表示的不定式,是固定搭配。意为“解析法”。答案D18A. adviceBsupportChopeDpower解析advice“建议”;support“支持,支撑”;hope“希望”;power“力量”。此处与最后一段中的“I
22、f you_ _your hopes for a.”相照应,故用hope符合语境。答案C19A. riskBgetCmakeDtake解析risk“冒险,冒的风险”;get“获得”;make“制作”;take“带走”。句意为:如果你冒险把你的希望放在比以往更艰难的突破上,你就可能有扼杀成功的机会。答案A20A. failBkillCachieveDfulfill解析fail“失败”;kill“杀死”;achieve“获得,达到”;fulfill“执行,履行”由语境可知,此处应用kill。答案B三、阅读理解阅读理解。阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。Nowaday
