29、句型的特殊疑问句,结构是 “特殊疑问词is/ was it that”;第二个空要填where,是定语从句。4C考查定语从句和表语从句。which在定语从句中作told的宾语; 第二空的that引导表语从句。当主句部分出现the reason 或 why时,表语从句不用because引导,because只用来引导原因状语从句。5C句意:不管什么时候,只要有可能,约翰就会炫耀他日语说得多么好。show up意为“露出,显出;出席,到场”;show sb.around意为“带某人参观”;show off意为“炫耀,卖弄”;show sb.out意为“领某人出去/离开”。6A句意:那个英国人很擅长写
30、和读,最重要的是对其他人很和蔼。 above all最重要的是,首先,相当于most important of all。first of all首先(强调顺序);in all总共;after all毕竟,终究。7D此处考查定语从句。先行词为time,从句中缺少状语,所以要用关系副词when来引导从句。8B考查倒装句。not onlybut also引导对等的部分(主语除外)放在句首时,句子要部分倒装。本句意思是: 事实上,我们不但要集中注意力,而且还要把它贯穿到生活的每个层面。9C考查交际用语。Take it easy “别紧张”,用来表示安慰。10D用those来指代上面谈到的可数名词复数p
31、arents;call on sb. to do sth. 号召某人做某事; shoulder ones responsibility承担责任。.飞机上,一位乘客要求空姐端杯水来。由于忙,空姐忘了此事。大约三十分钟后,当那位乘客发出求助服务的信号时,她才把水送了过去,结果被拒绝了。空姐为表歉意,多次面带微笑地主动问他是否需要帮助,但那位乘客对她不理睬。下飞机时,乘客在意见簿上写了些什么,这令那位空姐十分担忧。但是,当她打开意见簿时,她立刻转忧为喜了。11Btake拿走,带走,有方向性;bring带来,拿来,有方向性;carry手拿肩扛,随身携带,无方向性。结合语境,B项合适。12C三十分钟后,
32、那位乘客发出求助服务的信号。13Dbe kept表被动,意为:被搞得,作为空姐,飞行中为乘客提供服务必定被弄得忙个不停。若选用tired,silent,calm只能用keep的主动形式。14A上文中乘客需要的是水。句意:她那么忙,以至于忘记送水给那位乘客了。15B考查动词词组。hold on请稍候,别挂断;hold up耽搁,延误;hold out维持,持续;hold down抑制,压制,根据语境可知,乘客被耽误吃药了,故选B。16C考查介词。for“为了,因为”;about大约,关于;with带着,拿着;in“在里,用,穿着”,本句话的意思是:她端着一杯水匆忙朝那位乘客走过来。17A按理说,
33、那位乘客应该接受她匆忙送过来的那杯水。但他拒绝了,这令她感到很吃惊。18D在随后的数小时飞行中。on the air(无线电)广播;on the flight在飞行中。19B上下文都有提示passenger(乘客)。20C从下文可知,为表歉意,空姐每次从他旁边经过时,都面带微笑地主动问他是否需要帮助。21A但那位乘客对空姐表现出的歉意根本不理睬,表现得十分生气。22Cget off the plane从飞机上下来。23Ahand sb.sth.hand sth.to sb.把递给某人;lend sb.sth.lend sth.to sb.把借给某人。B、C项明显不合适。故A正确。24DA、C项
34、不符合语境,故排除。B项的angry生气,发怒,用在此处也显得过分;再加上空姐自知理亏,乘客提意见应是情理之中的事情,故不可能生气。只因担心影响自己以后的工作而伤心。25Bsharp形容词,尖酸的,刻薄的。26D空姐虽然担心那位乘客在意见簿上写些对自己不利的话,但还是面带微笑地把意见簿递给了他。27C从下文呈现的乘客意见来看,此空只能是打开意见簿。tore是tear的过去式,撕毁,用在此处不妥。同样,hid躲藏,藏起来,也不合上下文逻辑。28Bcrack a smile意思是:转悲为喜;破涕为笑。故此处用for表示转悲为喜的原因。29Ain all一共,总共;above all首要的,最为重要
35、的;or else否则,要不然;or so大约。通过下文两次提到twelve一词,可知12次真诚的微笑是一个确切的数字。故A项正确。30D最后一段是作者对上一段末句话发出的感慨。句意:是啊,任何人都不会拒绝来自他人的12次真诚的微笑。.A妻子的去世给作者造成了难以名状的心灵创伤,他几经辗转,全心投入到救援队伍中。紧张而劳累的工作抚慰了作者的内心。31D推理判断题。根据文章中所提到的阿富汗、印度尼西亚、巴基斯坦、苏丹以及伊拉克等国家当时的情况可知他在几年中所去过的地方都发生了可怕的灾难。32C推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句可推测作者觉得自己的人生有益他人,很有意义。33D猜测词义题。上一句提到灾
36、难接二连三地发生后,成百上千的人伤亡,更多的人不得不逃生。再结合本句中提到的流动诊所以及具体数字可推测此词的含义是“难民”,即因为灾难而失去家园的人们。34B推理判断题。结合倒数第二段后半部分中的内容以及最后一段中的内容可推测作者在妻子去世之前对她说的话如今变成了现实。B本文介绍了一个美国人,他以独特的方式赚钱,开办了自己的公司并不断扩大业务。35A细节理解题。从第二段对face value的解释:“So January 1 costs$1,while December 31 costs$365.”可知,the face value of the day December 30 should
37、be$364.故A项正确。36D细节理解题。第三段给出了Sadler做广告宣传的方式,只有D项不属于广告方式,故选D。37B细节理解题。最后一段告诉读者Sadler在2013年的打算。他计划到美国西海岸发展自己的事业。38C主旨大意题。从文章第一段及对Sadler赚钱方式的介绍可知C为正确选项。.Though great progress been made in science these years,there are still many people in poor conditions.They make their lives by collecting selling used
38、things.Their children cannot go to school because they not have enough money to send their children there. do you think so many people still suffer from poverty now?The answer lies the population explosion.A president of a developing country once said,“It is who are to blame for the poverty because we used to produce without limit.”Although few words sound simple enough,they have pointed out one of the causes of the population explosion.
