23、。我依靠我强烈的决心节食。答案:B4解析:当我到医院时那小孩儿又在那儿了。答案:C5解析:quickly快,迅速地,很快地。这个小孩子在那儿,我明白我节食的承诺很快就会消失。注意,shortly不久,不多时,不符合文意。答案:B6解析:bottomless取之不尽的,无限的。这里讲包中的糖似乎取之不尽。答案:A7解析:blind瞎的。后文中的信息whichcausedhimtoliveinthedarkness有暗示。答案:D8解析:首先应排除years,如果Benton15岁时患病,就与本段开头的“aneightyearoldboy”矛盾了。下一句“Forthenexttwentysixmo
24、nths,hewasinandoutofourhospital.”有暗示。答案:C9解析:asthough/asif好像,似乎,仿佛。看起来Benton似乎能击败病魔。答案:B10解析:develop(开始)患(病)。2009年4月的一个星期五的下午Benton开始头痛。答案:B11解析:movement行动,移动,行进,运动。Benton右侧身体无法移动,失去知觉。注意:motion表示“(物体的)运动,移动,(天体的)运行;动作,姿态,手势;动机,意向”。如:Thetrainwasinmotion.火车开动了。Allhermotionsweregraceful.她的一举一动都很优雅。Hed

26、world有暗示,注意句中信息词“but”。答案:D17解析:reach伸手(或脚等)够到,触及。我的手伸进包,取出我手指接触到的那颗糖。答案:C18解析:for为了,为目的,此处表示对象或目的。这是一颗我最喜欢吃的糖,好像是Benton特意为我留下的。答案:B19解析:不幸地是我那个晚上在家里接到了Benton死去的噩耗。答案:C20解析:hangup挂断电话。我挂断电话,剥开那颗糖,吃掉了(暗示回味我和Benton的这段经历)。答案:B.阅读理解语篇解读本文对富兰克林的生平事迹进行了精炼的说明,并同时说明富兰克林是一个非常了不起的人物,短短两年时间就有两部关于他的传记出版1解析:考查文章体
27、裁。根据短文的叙述,结合四个选项理解,可知答案是B。答案:B2解析:考查词汇理解。earlytobedearlytorise为人所共知,它是谚语。答案:A3解析:考查细节理解。作者举出的事例是为了说明富兰克林beinggreatandhumanatthesametime这一观点。答案:C4解析:考查词汇理解。根据语境可以判断此处himself是指富兰克林本人。答案:D5解析:考查文章出处。对比四个选项,文章最大可能是来自社会和艺术类的杂志。答案:A语篇解读遇到挫折该怎么办?应该持一种什么样的态度呢?是退缩,放弃,还是继续坚持下去?作者的观点是:因为很多事情都是按“进两步退一步”式的轨道发展前进
28、的,所以要勇敢地面对挑战和挫折6解析:逻辑推理题。作者认为很多事情都是按“进两步退一步”的模式发展的,所以遇到挫折时,要三思而后行,故选C。答案:C7解析:词义推测题。从第三段中的Insteadoflookingatyourprojectasadisasterorfailure,viewitwithsuccess.Concentrateonhowgreatitwillfeelafteritisfinallydone,orafteryouhaveputyourallintoit.可知,作者建议我们不要把自己的计划(project)所遭遇的挫折看成是一种灾难或失败,而是站在成功的角度去看,精力集中在如果最终成功后结果会是如何的惬意上面。由此可以推断出,it指代前面的project,故选D。答案:D8解析:逻辑推理题。由最后一段中的Aboveall,dontlivewithregrets.Keepreachingforyourgoals.再结合第三段的内容可知,遇到挫折要继续坚持自己的目标才是最重要的,故选A。答案:A9解析:主旨大意题。作者告诉人们要正确看待人生中遇到的挫折,要学会战胜它,而不是放弃。答案:B
