2、e it“做到,成功”,是固定搭配。2(全国卷)51Approaching the vehicle, they saw that a woman was trying to get out of the broken window.They told her to stay _52_ until the emergency personnel arrived, 53.but she thought the car was going to 54.explode.52A.quiet BstillCaway Dcalm解析:B本题可以利用生活常识和文化背景解题。根据生活常识,当时处境危险,救护人员
3、来之前不能动(stay still),以免伤势加重。quiet“静静的”,常表示一个人的性情稳定或外表安静;still“静止的,不动的”;away“离开”;calm“平静的,镇静的”。3To _51_ the amount of rubbish and to protect the 52.environment,_more governments are requiring people to recycle materials.51A.show BrecordCdecrease Dmeasure解析:C本题可以利用对应成分分析法解题。52environment,more government
4、s.从上述分析可以看出,第51题与protect形成对应关系。因为后面有and这一并列连词,并且and前后意思应该一致,我们可以很轻松地选出正确答案C项(decrease“减少”)。4Larry told her that he had already put out the fire and she should not move _55_ she injured her neck.55A.as if BunlessCin case Dafter解析:C本题可以利用逻辑关系解题。拉里告诉她他已经把火扑灭,她不应该动,以免(in case)伤了脖子。5Several years ago I _

6、Kurt asked me, “John, what is your _37_ for personal growth?”. Kurt 41.listened patiently, but then he 42.finally smiled and said, “You dont have a personal plan for growth,do you?”37A.suggestion BdemandCplan Drequest解析:C本题可以利用语义复现解题。本题为原词复现。由42空后的“You dont have a personal plan for growth, do you?”可

8、used解析:A本题可以利用态度或感情色彩关联解题。前文提到多年来,作者与他的旅行代理人仅以电话来沟通,从未见过面,这个旅行代理人总能给自己最低价格(rockbottom prices),但是她的声音却是冷冰冰的,后文又提到作者有时希望另外找个代理人,可知代理人冷冰冰的声音让作者不开心,很生气。3All around the world, we can see the 50.consequences of this throwaway lifestyle.Mountains of rubbish just keep getting bigger.To 51.decrease the amoun
9、t of rubbish and to protect the 52.environment,_more governments are requiring people to recycle materials._53_, this is not enough to solve (解决) our problem.53A.However BOtherwiseCTherefore DMeanwhile解析:A本题可以利用逻辑关系解题。通过上述对本空前后文已知信息的分析,能够发现上下文是明显的转折关系,因此答案可以确定为选项A。4When I was 13 my only purpose was

15、 Dimpression解析:A本题为语篇层次题。本题很容易因为前文中的“the sound of your voice”而错选B项“voice”,但是文章开头说到“that little device”,因此这里讲的是“你书桌上的那台小装置”,下文也提到“only by phone”,因此本题选A项“电话”。3Two years later, Dad started his own _31_, which wasnt doing so well. After my graduation, Dads business was getting back on track.31A.family B
16、businessCtask Djourney解析:B本题可以利用语义复现解题。本题为原词复现。下文“Dads business was getting back on track”中的business是31空的原词复现,故选B项。大题提能练A(记叙文)I had been standing perfectly still for a few minutes when a large black snake was moving past me.The long body _1_ moving so slowly by that it _2_ appeared to move.I stood s

21、前文出现的“a large black snake”,前面已经提到这条蛇正在从作者旁边爬过去,所以不能说蛇开始移动;又由“moving so slowly by”可知,蛇并没有停止移动。故选A。2A.naturally BhardlyCfinally Dclearly解析:B考查副词。结合前面的slowly一词可知,此处表示蛇移动得如此缓慢以至于几乎看不出它在动。hardly几乎不。3A.surprise BjoyCterror Dcold解析:C考查名词。根据前面的shaking可知,此处表示作者在蛇经过时吓得浑身发抖。4A.mistake BmovementCdifference Dcha

24、的是蛇而不是图像。11A.excuse BsecretCshortcoming Dduty解析:B考查名词。根据“Yet I never said a word about the 10(snake) to anyone”可知,作者没有和任何人讲起关于这条蛇的事,这当然是一个秘密了。12A.but BandCor Dfor解析:A考查连词。空前的意思与空后的意思存在转折意味,因此应选but。 13A.imagine BvisitCrecognize Dsearch解析:B考查动词。此处表示作者知道这条蛇很危险,但是却不想被(别人)告诉不要去那个地方,且下文出现过visit,故选B。14A.lo
25、ok down upon Bput up withCget along with Dkeep away from解析:D考查动词短语。空后的it是指总是想到蛇这件事,所以选D。此处表示这种想法总是挥之不去。look down upon瞧不起,put up with忍受,get along with 与和睦相处。15A.harmful BhorribleCstrong Dimportant解析:C考查形容词。此处表示作者总是在想这件事,那是因为想要去看看那个有蛇出没的地方的愿望太强烈了。16A.wake up Bturn upChide away Ddie away解析:B考查动词短语。此处补全

27、最后爬进了这个洞里面。20A.cut BfoundCdrew Dlost解析:C考查名词。draw意为“拖(动),拉(动)”,与后面的in一起,表示这条蛇慢慢地爬进了洞里面。B(夹叙夹议文)At the very young age of six,my life was thrown into a downward spiral(旋涡) of constant pain,surgeries,sadness and depression.I was in a car _1_ on my way home,being hit by a truck.My left leg got _2_ betwe

32、的人生态度是值得人们学习的。1A.exhibition BaccidentCtrip Dcompany解析:B考查名词。空后提到自己被一辆卡车撞了,由此可知作者在坐车回家的路上出了车祸。2A.operated BexaminedCtrapped Dlost解析:C考查动词。空后的“between the wheels”是解题关键,由此可推断应该选择C项,表示作者的左腿被卡在两个轮之间了。3A.absurd BterrifyingCconstant Dbrief解析:B考查形容词。根据语境及常识可知,此处表示极其可怕的(terrifying)记忆。absurd荒谬的,愚蠢的;constant不变
33、的,恒定的,经常发生的;brief简短的,短暂的。4A.planted BforgottenCdestroyed Dchanged解析:A考查动词。空处所在句为非限制性定语从句,其关系词which在从句中作主语,指代的是memories。此处表示,这些记忆永远根植在了作者的大脑中,是作者永远也忘不了的。5A.waiting room BhospitalCschool Dbedroom解析:B考查名词。作者车祸之后应当住院接受治疗,因此应该选择B项,即作者先在医院度过了一年半的时间。6A.strange BcoldClonely Dpainful解析:D考查形容词。作者住院治疗的那些日日夜夜对他
34、来说都是很痛苦的。选项中能够与当时作者的心情和实际状况相吻合的是D项。7A.experienced BenjoyedCtasted Dshared解析:D考查动词。空处所在句子含有一个原因状语从句,空前说作者确信大多数人不知道这一点,那是因为他没有告诉任何人。8A.fed up Bworn outCcheered up Dknocked out解析:A考查动词短语。结合前面的“人们已经询问了太多次”这一细节可知,此处应该选 A项,表示作者终于受够了。be/get fet up厌烦,无法再忍受;be/get worn out疲惫不堪;be/get cheered up振作起来;be/get kn
35、ocked out被打昏。9A.protect BcoverCdecorate Dwarm解析:B考查动词。此处表示作者为了避免被询问,只穿能遮住有残疾的那条腿的衣服。10A.lesson BclassCuniform Dteacher解析:C考查名词。结合上一句穿衣服的细节可知,此处 do this指的是“穿衣服盖住腿”。在学校不能这样做,因为要穿统一的校服。故选C项。11A.personally BformallyCespecially Dluckily解析:C考查副词。此处应该选C项,表示有人欺负他、骂他,尤其是在小学的时候。12A.knowledge BstrengthCshortco
36、ming Dillness解析:B考查名词。与前一句结合起来分析可知,此处是作者励志的话语。此处表示伤疤不能定义一个人,这伤疤恰好是作者坚强的证据。13A.drink BwatchCwear Dbuy解析:C考查动词。根据上文中穿衣服遮盖伤疤那一细节的提示和此处作者开始变得自爱了,并且接受了自我可推断,此处表示作者现在想怎么穿就怎么穿,不用去刻意遮盖了。14A.hand BeyeCmouse Dleg解析:D考查名词。四个选项中D项是全文的一条主线,全文都是从leg这一线索展开的。此处表示伤残的腿并没有阻挡作者追求自己的梦想。15A.wrote BpushedCslowed Dcut解析:C考
