9、他脸上的表情能够看出他不是在开玩笑,他是“认真的”。(5)A作者想说从芝加哥数百万人中碰巧可能撞上他的朋友的想法是非常荒谬的。(6)C根据本句开头的转折连词But可知作者没有说出自己的真实想法,“反而”微笑着提醒对方芝加哥是一个大城市。(7)D作者认为这种可能性无比渺茫,他想提醒对方的是芝加哥是一个“大”城市,人口众多。(8)A作者原以为他会满足于自己善意的提醒而放弃这个话题并谈论其他事情,但想不到他沉默了几分钟后又“开始”谈论他朋友的一切。(9)B下一句提到他的朋友是一个优秀的网球运动员,并且拥有自己的网球场,由此可推测他的朋友生活中主要的“兴趣”似乎是网球。(10)C下一句提到只有两个人拥

11、那是个巧合,“因为”他的芝加哥朋友去年夏天也在萨克拉门托度假。(17)A由下文可知作者的兄弟和陌生人的朋友去年夏天都住在萨克拉门托,并且是邻居,而且上文提到作者的兄弟是加利福尼亚的一名医生,拥有自己的私人网球场,故选A项。(18)A作者感觉这确实是一个巧合,因为作者的隔壁邻居去年去了萨克拉门托并且“租用”了作者兄弟隔壁的房子。(19)B此处与(20)空后面的laugh相呼应,表示他“大笑”起来。(20)D作者想不到事情竟然如此巧合,所以现在“轮到”作者大笑了。*结束.完形填空Words:297难度系数:建议用时:15分钟I think we should try to find a happy

17、ime.【解题导语】在刺骨的寒风中,一位靠出售杂志维持生计的盲人女士竟然无比乐观地纵情歌唱美好的世界1A.enjoyableBrelaxingCtight Dtiring解析:选C。根据本句后半部分的内容可知作者的时间安排非常“紧”。D项表示“令人疲倦的”,在文章中没有信息支持。2A.crowded BdelayedCloaded Dcrashed解析:选A。根据下一段开头部分的内容可知火车上十分“拥挤”。3A.moving BinterestingCpleasing Dmeaningless解析:选D。下一句提到作者还有一点儿头疼,由此可判断此处表示的是否定意义,作者认为周围人的谈话特别“没
18、有意义”。4A.Looking BWalkingCWandering DSearching解析:选B。上文提到作者的时间安排非常紧,而且作者难以忍受拥挤的乘客们无聊的闲谈,另外,又感到有点儿头疼,由此可推断作者快步穿过了车站大厅。5A.cigarettes BsweetsCchange Dpaper解析:选C。下一句提到常有无家可归的人在出口处卖杂志来维持生计,由此可推断作者从口袋中拿出一些“零钱”。6A.selling BbuyingCcollecting Ddelivering解析:选A。根据括号中的注释可知是“出售”这种杂志。7A.With BSinceCUntil DAs解析:选D。当
19、人群在大厅的尽头走向四面八方的时候,作者看到有人在卖这种杂志。此处as表示“当时候”。8A.comfortably BroughCsoundly Danxiously解析:选B。她看起来一直露宿街头。sleep rough是固定用法,表示“露宿”,符合语境。D项表示“忧虑地”,与下文她的乐观表现不符。9A.shabby BcasualCtidy Dfashionable解析:选A。下文提到她很长时间没有擦洗了,and 连接的应是相同意思的分句,由此可知选A项,她的衣服非常“破旧”。10A.left BpassedCapproached Dexamined解析:选C。上文提到作者在未走到出口之前
20、就准备好了零钱,由此可知作者想买杂志,approach在此处表示“靠近”。11A.jumping BclimbingCrolling Drocking解析:选D。由空后的from side to side,再结合下文的描述,尤其是“She was moving in time.”可知她在左右“摇晃”。rock是动词,意为“轻轻摆动,摇晃”。12A.active BenergeticCwarm Dawake解析:选C。作者起初以为在刺骨的寒风中她是为了“取暖”才来回晃动身体的。13A.dance BtuneCstep Dsound解析:选B。文章倒数第二段提到她是在唱歌,由此可推断她是在随着曲调
21、左右晃动。14A.issue BarmCstick Dlog解析:选C。上文提到通常无家可归的人会在出口处出售这种杂志,结合选项可推断她是一位残疾人,所以选C项“拐杖”。另外,倒数第二段中的“tapping off along the pavement”也是线索。15A.deaf BlameCmad Dblind解析:选D。她的眼睛深陷,由此可推断她是一位“盲人”。16A.noise BmusicCvoice Dsound解析:选A。在车站的出口处,车水马龙,喧嚣不堪,显然是“噪音”。C项强调人的“噪音”,D项泛指自然界中的各种声音,语义都不恰当。17A.recite BcomposeCread Dsing解析:选D。下文提到她是在唱歌,因此用sing。18A.expected BchargedCintended Dorganized解析:选C。作者用了平时买杂志的两倍的钱买了她的最后一本杂志。19A.picked up Bthrew awayCturned out Dhid away解析:选A。既然她已经卖完了最后一本杂志,自然是表示感谢后“收拾”自己的东西并拄着拐杖离开。20A.decision BmemoryCprogram Ddesign解析:选B。结合上文的叙述以及本句后半句的内容可知作者有了那天的幸福“回忆”。*结束
