Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Deaf people should enjoy a play as much as the hearing audience. This
81、is the thinking behind the Americans with Disabilities Act, which requires that theaters become_51_ to deaf people. Theatre producers, meanwhile, are beginning to realize that such a feature makes their product attractive to a wider audience. Theatre interpretation（翻译）is a _52_project and the worklo
82、ad is immense. Consider that each actor in the play has about four weeks to rehearse（排练）his or her lines; interpreters have to learn the whole play in as much time. And, when interpreting musicals, where timing, rhythm and harmonies must be practiced, the _53_ doubles”.The most important technical a
83、spect of theatre interpretation for the deaf is the _54_ of the interpreter. Placement strategies can be categorized （分类）into three styles: placed, where interpreters are located outside the acting space and do not move; zoned, where interpreters are within the acting space, but usually move only du
84、ring the _55_ of scene or act; and, finally, shadowed, where interpreters move_56_within the acting space, shadowing the movement of the actors for whom they are interpreting. The placed style of interpreting in the theatre is by far the most common. The interpreters are side-by-side and face the au
85、dience. The location of the interpreter is generally _57_three places: stage right or stage left, or on the floor of the house. The zoned style of interpreting is a happy _58_between the placed and shadowed styles. Here, interpreters are placed side-by-side within acting space. Usually, they change
86、position on stage from scene to scene or from act to act in order to be within the same zone as the majority of the action. Zone placement, _59_, makes it easier for the deaf patron to see the interpreters and actors at the same time. The shadowed style of interpreting is the most _60_ style of inte
87、rpreting for the theater. It involves placing the interpreters directly within the action nearly making them sign language actors. The interpreters are blocked into each scene, and literally _61_the actors. So clear is the_62_of doing this that the interpreter is in such close proximity to the actor
88、 that the deaf patron need not make a decision about whom to watch he or she can watch both at the same time. In the best of cases, the deaf patron mentally_63_ the interpreter with the actor, and forgets that the actor does not sign.Theatre interpreters for the_64_ are dedicated （投入的）professionals
89、who take great pride in their work. Theatre is the art of communicating beautiful ideas in interesting ways. Interpreted theater, therefore, is an art in itself. Thankfully, instead of seeing us as _65_, producers nowadays think of interpreters for the deaf as a new avenue to creativity.51. A. recog

99、知，分区的翻译员位置随表演和场景而变换，处于不动和自由移动之间，可以推断，此处应为“翻译风格介于两者之间”。故选A项。【59题详解】考查副词词义辨析。句意：因此，区域布置使聋人更容易同时看到翻译员和演员。A. altogether总而言之；B. therefore因此；C. however然而；D. moreover此外。根据前文“Usually, they change position on stage from scene to scene or from act to act in order to be within the same zone as the majority of
100、the action. （通常，他们在舞台上从一个场景到另一个场景，或者从一幕到一幕变换位置，以便与大部分动作处于同一个“区域”内。）”可知，前后文之间是因果关系。故选B项。【60题详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：“阴影”式翻译是最具包容性的戏剧翻译。A. restrictive限制的；B. imaginative富于想象的；C. protective防护的；D. inclusive包含的。根据后文“It involves placing the interpreters directly within the action nearly making them sign language a

The interpreters are blocked into each scene, and literally shadow the actors.（这包括将翻译员直接放在动作中，几乎使他们成为“手语演员”。口译员被“固定”在每一个场景中，并真正地遮挡演员。）”可知，“阴影”式翻译包含很多内容，是具有包容性的。故选D项。【61题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：翻译员被“固定”在每一个场景中，并真正地遮挡演员。A. impress给人印象；B. persuade说服C. shadow遮蔽；D. amuse使开心。根据前文“shadowed, where interpreter
102、s move freely within the acting space, shadowing the movement of the actors for whom they are interpreting. （“阴影”，翻译员在表演空间内自由移动，遮蔽他们所翻译的演员的移动。）”可知，此处为“遮挡演员”。故选C项。【62题详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意：这样做的好处很明显，译员离演员很近，聋人不需要决定看谁他或她可以同时看两者。A. challenge挑战；B. downside负面；C. situation情况；D. advantage优势。根据后文“the deaf patron n
103、eed not make a decision about whom to watch（聋人不需要决定看谁）”可知，此处是介绍“阴影”翻译方法的好处。故选D项。【63题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：在最好的情况下，聋人在精神上把翻译员和演员认出来，而忘记了演员没有手势。A. compares比较；B. replaces替代；C. competes竞争；D. identifies识别，辨认。此处表示精神上知道有翻译和演员，但忘记演员是配有翻译的，即沉浸于戏剧，忘记有翻译。且根据后文“forgets”可以推断此处为“辨认出”。故选D项。【64题详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：为聋人服务的剧场翻译员
104、是敬业的专业人士，他们对自己的工作感到非常自豪。A. deaf聋的；B. blind瞎的；C. poor贫穷的；D. noble高尚的。根据前文“theaters become accessible to deaf people. （剧场对聋人开放。）”可知，翻译是为聋人服务的。故选A项。【65题详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意：值得庆幸的是，如今的制作人不再将我们视为“附加物”，而是将聋人翻译员视为一种新的创造性途径。A. models模型；B. additions添加，附加物；C. actors演员；D. symbols象征。翻译人员是为聋人服务而添加的，可以推断，此处应为将翻译人员视为“附加
105、物”。故选B项。【点睛】完形填空的解题技巧之一就是要根据上下文来学会“推理”出最佳选项。同学们要遵循“上下求索”的原则来查找信息。例如，第1小题，根据前文“Deaf people should enjoy a play as much as the hearing audience. （聋人应该和听力正常的观众一样喜欢戏剧。）”可知，聋人喜欢喜剧，可以推断此处应为“剧院对聋人开放”。故选B项。Section BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions
106、or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)In 1784, five years before he became president of the United States, George Washington, 52, was nearly toothle
107、ss. So he hired a dentist to transplant nine teeth into his jaw having taken them from the mouths of his slaves.Thats a far different image from the cherry-tree-chopping George most people remember from their history books. But recently, many historians have begun to focus on the roles slavery playe
108、d in the lives of the founding generation. They have been spurred in part by DNA evidence made available in 1998, which almost certainly proved Thomas Jefferson had fathered at least one child with his slave Sally Hemings. And only over the past 30 years have scholars examined history from the botto
109、m up. Works of several historians reveal （揭示）the moral compromises （妥协）made by the nations early leaders and the fragile nature of the countrys infancy. More significantly, they argue that many of the Founding Fathers knew slavery was wrong and yet most did little to fight it.More than anything, the
110、 historians say, the founders were hampered （妨碍）by the culture of their time. While Washington and Jefferson privately expressed hatred （仇恨）for slavery, they also understood that it was part of the political and economic foundation of the country they helped to create.For one thing, the South could
111、not afford to part with its slaves. Owning slaves was “like having a large bank account,” says Wiencek, author of An Imperfect God: George Washington, His Slaves, and the Creation of America. The southern states would not have signed the Constitution （宪法）without protections for the “peculiar institu
112、tion,” including a clause that counted a slave as three fifths of a man for purposes of congressional representation.And the statesmens political lives depended on slavery. The three-fifths formula handed Jefferson his narrow victory in the presidential election of 1800 by inflating （膨胀）the votes of
113、 the southern states in the Electoral College. Once in office, Jefferson extended slavery with the Louisiana Purchase in 1803; the new land was carved into 13 states, including three slave states.Still, Jefferson freed Hemingss children though not Hemings herself or his approximately 150 other slave
114、s. Washington, who had begun to believe that all men were created equal after observing the bravery of the black soldiers during the Revolutionary War, overcame the strong opposition of his relatives to grant his slaves their freedom in his will. Only a decade earlier, such an act would have require
115、d legislative approval in Virginia.66. George Washingtons dental surgery is mentioned to _.A. show the primitive medical practice in the past.B. demonstrate the cruelty of slavery in his days.C. stress the role of slaves in the U.S. history.D. reveal some unknown aspect of his life.67. What can we l
116、earn about Thomas Jefferson?A. His political view changed his attitude towards slavery.B. His status as a father made him free the child slaves.C. His attitude towards slavery was complex.D. His affair with a slave stained his prestige.68. Which of the following is true according to the text?A. Some
117、 Founding Fathers benefit politically from slavery.B. Slaves in the old days did not have the right to vote.C. Slave owners usually had large savings accounts.D. Slavery was regarded as a peculiar institution.【答案】66. D 67. C 68. A【解析】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了美国开国者在对待奴隶制方面一些鲜为人知的、有的可能并不如我们想象的那么完美的一些事情和做法。【66题详解】
118、推理判断题。根据第二段“Thats a far different image from the cherry-tree-chopping George most people remember from their history books.（这与大多数人在历史书上看到的砍樱桃树的乔治大不相同。）”可以推断，乔治华盛顿的牙科手术被提到是为了揭示他生活中未知的一面。故选D项。【67题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“While Washington and Jefferson privately expressed hatred （仇恨）for slavery, they also unders
119、tood that it was part of the political and economic foundation of the country they helped to create.（虽然华盛顿和杰佛逊私下表达了对奴隶制的憎恨，但他们也明白这是他们帮助创造的国家政治和经济基础的一部分）”可知，托马斯杰斐逊对奴隶制的态度很复杂。故选C项。【68题详解】细节理解题。根据第五段“And the statesmens political lives depended on slavery. And the statesmens political lives depended on
120、slavery. The three-fifths formula handed Jefferson his narrow victory in the presidential election of 1800 by inflating （膨胀）the votes of the southern states in the Electoral College.（政治家们的政治生活依赖于奴隶制。在1800年的总统选举中，正是由于五分之三的计算公式扩大了南方总统选举权的投票，使得杰弗逊以微弱的优势获得了成功。）”可知，一些开国元勋在政治上受益于奴隶制。故选A项。(B)Troubleshootin

(注意：如果该软件是为使用旧版本的Windows操作系统而设计的，而不是为目前安装在计算机上系统而设计，您可以尝试使用兼容性模式安装)”可知，当你正在安装为旧版本的windows操作系统设计的软件时，你可以切换到兼容模式。故选D。【71题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“7. If the software will still not be in
133、stalled, try installing it using the Safe Mode of the computer as follows(7.如果仍然没能安装该软件，请尝试按照如下提示使用电脑的安全模式安装它)”可知，正如文章中所列出的，使用计算机的安全模式似乎是有助于排除安装问题的最后一步。故选A。(C)One might expect that the ever-growing demands of the tourist trade would bring nothing but good for the countries that receive the holiday-m
134、akers. Indeed, a rosy picture is painted for the long-term future of the holiday industry. Every month sees the building of a new hotel somewhere, and every month another rock-bound Pacific island is advertised as the “last paradise(天堂) on earth”.However, the scale and speed of this growth seem set
135、to destroy the very things tourists want to enjoy. In those countries where there was a rush to make quick money out of sea-side holidays, over-crowded beaches and the concrete jungles of endless hotels have begun to lose their appeal.Those countries with little experience of tourism can suffer most
136、. In recent years, Nepal set out to attract foreign visitors to fund developments in health and education. Its forests, full of wildlife and rare flowers, were offered to tourists as one more untouched paradise. In fact, the nature all too soon felt the effects of thousands of holiday-makers traveli
137、ng through the forest land. Ancient tracks became major routes for the walkers, with the consequent exploitation of precious trees and plants.Not only the environment of a country can suffer from the sudden growth of tourism. The people as well rapidly feel its effects. Farmland makes way for hotels
138、, roads and airports; the old way of life goes. The one-time farmer is now the servant of some multi-national organization; he is no longer his own master. Once it was his back that bore the pain; now it is his smile that is exploited. No doubt he wonders whether he wasnt happier in his village work
139、ing his own land.Thankfully, the tourist industry is waking up to the responsibilities it has towards those countries that receive its customers. The protection of wildlife and the creation of national parks go hand in hand with tourist development and in fact obtain financial support from tourist c
140、ompanies. At the same time, tourists are being encouraged to respect not only the countryside they visit but also its people.The way tourism is handled in the next ten years will decide its fate and that of the countries we all want to visit. Their needs and problems are more important than those of
141、 the tourist companies. Increased understanding in planning world-wide tourism can preserve the market for these companies. If not, in a few years time the very things that attract tourists now may well have been destroyed.72. What does the author indicate in the last sentence of Paragraph 1?A. The
142、Pacific island is a paradise.B. The Pacific island is worth visiting.C. The advertisement is not convincing.D. The advertisement is not impressive73. The example of Nepal is used to suggest _ .A. its natural resources are untouched.B. its forests are exploited for farmlandC. it develops well in heal

They have to please the tourists for a living.C. They have to struggle for their independence.D. They are proud of working in multi-na
144、tional organizations.75. Which of the following determines the future of tourism ?A. The number of touristsB. The improvement of services.C. The promotion of new products.D. The management of tourism【答案】72. C 73. D 74. B 75. D【解析】本文是一篇议论文。众所周知旅游业可以给当地经济发展带来无限商机，尤其是一些欠发达国家和地区。但是盲目无序地发展旅游业也会给当地环境带来危害，
145、甚至是致命危害。那我们该怎样平衡旅游业和环保之间的关系呢？。【72题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段的“Every month sees the building of a new hotel somewhere,and every month another rock-bound Pacific island is advertised as the “last paradise(天堂) on earth”.”（每个月都会看到某个地方在建一座新宾馆，每个月都会看到太平洋中的某个小岛打出广告“这儿是世上最后一处天堂。”）和第三段的“over-crowded beaches and the conc
146、rete jungles of endless hotels have begun to lose their appeal. ”（过度拥挤的海滩和密布酒店已经开始失去它们的吸引力。）可推知，这样的广告已经没有什么说服力了，故选C。【73题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段的“In those countries where there was a rush to make quick money out of sea-side holidays, over-crowded beaches and the concrete jungles of endless hotels have begun t
147、o lose their appeal. Those countries with little experience of tourism can suffer most.”（在那些通过海边度假方式来快速挣钱的国家，过度拥挤的海滩和密布酒店已经开始失去它们的吸引力。那些几乎没有旅游业经验的国家影响最大）和“In fact, the nature all too soon felt the effects of thousands of holiday-makers traveling through the forest land.”（事实上，大自然很快就受到了成千上万游客到森林旅行带来的影
148、响）可推知，作者引用尼泊尔发展旅游业是为了说明，现在这个国家正经受着旅游业带来的痛苦。故选D。【74题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段的“Once it was his back that bore the pain；now it is his smile that is exploited.”（过去是他的脊背在承受痛苦，现在是人们开发利用他的微笑）可推知，农民现在不得不以取悦游客谋生。故选B。【75题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第一段的“The way tourism is handled in the next ten years will decide its fate and that of
149、 the countries we all want to visit. ”（未来十年，如何管理旅游业将决定旅游业和我们要去参观的国家的命运。）可知，未来旅游业的管理方式将决定旅游业的未来。故选D。Section CDirections: Read the following passage.
