9、的依据。2.C 因为眼睛痛，所以应该是咨询很多的“医疗”专家。3.D 由常识可知，要治病就得吃很多“药”。4.A 虽然看了很多医生，吃了无数药，打了很多针，然而眼痛却更剧烈。上下文含转折意义。5.B 一个治疗这方面病人的专家。上文的(medical)expert 是答题依据。6.A 由上下文语境可知，因为是专家，所以他很“了解”这位病人的毛病，故选understand。7.D 由上下文语境可知，专家要求富翁要集中注意力于绿色上。concentrate on 意为“集中注意力于”。8.C 由上下文语境可知，他的眼睛只能看绿色，不能看别的颜色，前面有“green colours”的提示。9.D 句
10、意：这个药方有点“奇怪”,但是他已经极度绝望了,所以决定试一试。10.B 既然专家要求他只看绿色，那么富翁叫人买的当然是绿色的油漆。11.C 根据第8空前面的表达“not to let his eyes fall on any other colours”可知此处应选C。句意：富翁要求他眼睛所看到的每一件物体都必须漆成绿色，就像那位修道士要求的一样。12.C 几天之后，修道士来回访那位富翁。13.B 句意：富翁的仆人把几桶绿色的油漆全都倒在修道士身上，因为当天他穿的是红色的袍子。pour意为“倾泻；倾倒”。14.D 根据上下文语境可知，之所以要倒绿色油漆给修道士就是害怕他们的主人如果看到别的颜
11、色“眼疾”会复发。15.A 根据上下文可知：听到这些话，修道士忍不住“笑了”。16.A 修道士建议：如果花上几块钱买一副绿色眼镜，就可以“拯救”那些被漆成绿色的墙壁、树木之类的东西，“也”可以省下他一大笔钱了。17空后面的“could have saved a large share of his fortune”是答题的依据。17.B 参考上题解析。18.C 根据上下文语义可知应填“After all”(毕竟)。句意：毕竟，你不能把整个世界都油漆成绿色吧。19.A 根据上文所讲故事可知,这里表达的是“让我们改变自己的视角,整个世界也会相应地改变。”20.D 想要塑造世界，首先要塑造自己。上文

21、rly。7.B 句意：由于童年的一场疾病影响了他的智力，他表现得更像一个12岁的孩子。8.B 参考上题解析。其他选项都不能用来修饰like。9.D 既然是喜欢唱赞美诗和读诗歌，当然是要唱给或读给想“听”的人。10.C 句意：老人真的很想让我聚集一群人，然后用足以盖过电视机吵闹声和响彻房间的声音去读诗歌给他们听。11.A in a loud voice意为“大声地”。14空后的my voice 是提示词。12.D 老人的第一个要求在“我”身上没有奏效。work 起作用。13.A 由空后的“pan the open pages for the group to see”可知，把书“抬高”才能让其他
22、人看到。14.B raise ones voice意为“提高声音”。15.C 此处指的就是那位老人，即文章开头提到的“one special patient”一直要求“我”唱得更大声。16.D 参照上题解析。17.D 这次经历让“我”觉得有点丢脸。experience意为“经历”。18.B 由下文的“that dream”可知，我一直梦想成为一名老师。19.C 与dream相对的是reality。20.A 由上文可知，由于这次经历促成了“我”当老师的梦想得以实现，“我”对老人充满感激。助读强化resident n.居民Bible n.圣经(三)Of the many interactions

31、。6.B 作者是在“煮饭”，所以是cooking。7.C 作者的环境是简陋的，室外中午，三条腿的锅，烧火气温很热。所以即使是天使也不耐烦，应该用upset。下面的“why did you sulk(愠怒)”也说明了这点。8.B 作者是不耐烦的，并且没有刻意“隐藏”这种感觉，母亲也看得出来。只有hide符合。9.A 正常的做法是招待客人以后，自家人才会说一些自己的话。一般不会在客人还没有走就这样谈话。所以选A。10.D 这个地方是她“平时”用来做缝纫和针线活的。所以用usually。11.D 当你和别人专心谈话的时候，是看着对方的眼睛的。look into somebodys eyes也可以说是
32、固定用法。12.D 可以想象出来，这些人出来找工作，一些简陋的食物就可以让他们挺高兴，只有poor符合，其他三个词都不符合文章意思。13.B 如果被母亲追问，一般的反应是“我没有啊，只是太阳和火太热了”这样的抵赖。见下句。所以这里是“设法”抵赖，应该用attempt。14.A 参照上题解析，用的是借口“excuse”。15.C give sb.a firm look意为“给某人一个坚定的眼神”。其他三个都没有这样的搭配。16.C 这句话的意思是：你不能预测前面会发生什么。detect“察觉；发现；探测”符合情景。其他几个意思不对。17.D 作者出去旅行，在异乡需要得到别人的帮助。如果没有得到帮
33、助，他就是at the mercy of others。他得到或者得不到帮助都是被动的，只有found符合题意。别的都是主动的词，不符合。18.B 母亲继续说。其他三个词都离题甚远。19.A 解释这句话，所以是meaning，这和第三段最后一句话是同样的词。20.A 根据上下文可知，人之所以是人，是因为和别的人(存在社会关系)。person是符合题意的，且也只有person说得通。另外作为谚语，需要言简意赅，让人印象深刻。这句话里面有三个person，也是如此。interaction n.互动homestead n.宅地；家园intense adj.强烈的passage n.走廊knit v.

43、黑点。”可知是让每个人“惊讶的”。5.A 此空的答题暗示在第10空所在的句子“All of them,10exception,defined the black dot”。6.A 句意：教授看到每个学生脸上的“表情”，提出了考试要求：请学生们把看到的写下来。7.D 句意：学生们虽然迷惑不解，但还是开始去完成这项无法解释的任务。confused 迷惑不解的。8.B 下文提到“the professor took all the exams”考完试要交卷了，时间自然是来到了课堂快结束的时候。9.B 老师收完试卷，然后就开始把每张考卷上的回答读给学生们听。10.C 句意：所有的学生，无一例外地，都去
44、给那个黑点下定义了without exception“无例外”。11.D 根据常识，读完答卷，教室里自然是“安静”下来。然后教授在大家“安静”后才开始做出解释。12.C 由常识可知，考完试答卷收上来后一般都是要打分的。但是这位教授却说：这次我不会给你们打分。grade“评分；给分等级”。13.C 下文说到大家都去关注黑点了，由此可推知所有学生没有一个人去写试卷中“白色的”部分。14.B 我们的生活当中同样的事情也在发生。选happens最准确。15.A 从上一句“Everyone focused on the black dot”可得到提示选focusing，表示“关注”。16.B 通过上下文
45、语境可知，the black dot 指的是生活中不如意的事情，如上文的the health issues that bother us(困扰我们的健康问题)和下文的the complicated relationship with a family member(与某个家庭成员的复杂关系),所以此处应该是说“缺钱”。17.D 此处承接上文，继续说生活中的“不如意”对朋友的失望。18.A 上文说这些黑点(不如意的事)和我们生活中拥有的东西相比是非常小的，下文说它们却是污染我们心灵的东西。上下文含转折意义。19.C 句意：你要把目光从生活中的黑点移开。take away from“从拿走”。20
46、.D 上文劝告人们去享受生活给予的每一刻和每一份幸福。所以这里要表达的应该是“要快乐，过一种充满爱的生活”。助读强化incomprehensible adj.令人费解的complicated adj.复杂的blessing n.祝福compared to 与相比较(五)Norway was once at risk of losing much of its forests.After centuries of logging for timber(木材)and firewood,the country had1 much of this previously vast2 resource.A

55、“一切都变了”。4.C 句意：今天，挪威拥有的现存未被砍伐的森林是100多年前的三倍多。standing wood 喻为“未被砍伐的树林”。5.B harvest 意为“收获、采收”，在这引申为“砍伐量”。整个句子的意思是：每年树木的砍伐只占了其每年树木生长量的大约一半。因此，总体上，森林是在不断扩大(成长)。6.B 参照上题。而且，后句中的“the forest growth”也是明显的提示。7.A 森林的增长足以抵消该国每年大约(roughly)60%的温室气体排放量。8.C 句意：在19世纪时期，挪威到处在大量伐木。其他不符合全文意思。9.A 从西海岸出口“大量的”木材到欧洲。vast

57、(ambitious有野心的)计划。ambitious引喻为“伟大的”。16.C 句意：挪威成为世界上第一个评估国内所有森林状态的国家(country)。17.D 句意：虽然(while，位于句首可意为“虽然”)其他欧洲国家已零碎地(piecemeal)测量(森林)面积。18.A 句意：(挪威)政府将能够利用这些信息(information)来评估国内森林的长期(发展)轨迹(trajectory)。19.C 句意：他们可以估测哪块区域(的森林)生长得更健康20.D 句意：森林的哪一块可以被保存用于作为濒危物种的栖息地(habitat)。be preserved as意为“被保存为”。助读强化l

67、发生”(occur to)在室友身上的食物中毒事件。5.D 句意：当时的“情况”(circumstance)很危急，故选D项。6.C 和dangerous“危险的”并列且意义接近的，在四个选项中只有urgent“紧急的”。7.A 句意：尽管他们“成功”(manage to)脱险，但这个事故仍然很吓人。8.D 据as if it had happened yesterday(仿佛就发生在昨天)可知，那次的食物中毒事件仍历历在目(vivid)。9.B 为了庆祝Julie的生日，室友们在附近的超市“购买”(purchase)了一个大蛋糕。10.A 由同一句的share“分享”一词可知，蛋糕被“分成”
68、(divide into)若干块。11.C 室友们felt sick and dizzy，可知他们“遭受”(suffer)剧痛。12.D 送那些食物中毒的室友去医院“救治”(treatment)。13.A“原来”(It turned out that)他们中毒的原因是蛋糕过期了。14.C“幸好”(fortunately)抢救及时，室友们都安然无恙。15.B 由has been deeply rooted in my memory可知，那次食物中毒让我“印象”(impression)深刻。16.D 作者呼吁有关部门采取有效“措施”(steps)来保障食品安全及预防“类似的”(similar)事故
69、再次发生。17.B 答案由第16题的答案解析可知。18.C 由purchase“购买”可推知该空填“生产”(production)，它们是承接关系。19.A 只有“加强”(strengthen)食品的质量监管，消费者的健康才得以“保障”(ensure)。20.D 答案由第19题的答案解析可知。助读强化faint v.晕倒circumstance n.情况；情形urgent adj.紧急的vivid adj.生动的；逼真的timely adj.及时的food poisoning 食物中毒divide into 把分成guarantee period 保质期be deeply rooted in

77、1.B 12.C 13.A 14.A 15.B 16.D 17.A 18.D 19.C 20.B 一位年轻人应聘到一个农场当工人，平时干活非常努力认真。在一个暴风雨的晚上，农场的主人非常焦急地担心农场的状况，殊不知这位小伙子提前把一切东西都安排妥当，这就是所谓的未雨绸缪。1.D 根据上文他想“在农场”(on a farm)找一份工作，和下文他和农场主(farmer)说话得知他来到了一个“农场”。故选D项。2.C 根据下文农场主对他进行的“面试”(what can you do？)得知他想“应聘”一份工作。故选C项。3.C 这是全文的中心，年轻人的工作态度是未雨绸缪，且在文章倒数第二段也可以找到
78、夫妇终于明白了年轻人说的话(words)“I can sleep when the wind blows.”故选C项。4.A 由下文这个年轻人看起来很“老实”(honest)和决定“雇他”(decide to hire him)形成转折关系，应该是夫妇对他说的话感到挺“迷惑的”。选A项。5.B 由下文夫妇决定“雇”他(decide to hire him)可以知道年轻人身上有一些比较可贵的品质，如忠实(honest)和“可靠”。选B项。6.D 从上文说到年轻人看起来很老实和下文决定雇佣他可知农场主夫妇喜欢他。7.B 上文提到两个月里年轻人把农活干得很好，由此可以判断农场一切很正常，没有什么“异
79、常”。8.D 这句话陈述的是一天晚上的突发情况，后面提到一个暴风雨(by a violent storm)，由此可以推断农场主夫妇被暴风雨吵醒(awakened)。9.A 从下文可以看到夫妇在检查农场的百叶窗(shutters)有没有扎好，木头(logs)有没有放好，这一切都是夫妇在看农场的所有东西是否“安全妥当”。10.C 上面说农场主夫妇在检查各设施的情况，其中木头也放在了灶头旁边。故选C项。11.B 年轻人把一切提前准备好了，所以他可以睡得很安稳。地道表达为sleep soundly。12.C 前一句说农场主夫妇在检查农场的物品(property)，此处指拖拉机(tractor)已经放到
80、了适当的位置，C项的garage(车库)是最合适的。13.A 除了拖拉机(tractor)以外，农场上的“动物”(animals)也是农场的重要财产(property)之一。14.A 上文提到当年轻人对他们说这句话时，他们半信半疑表示不解(puzzled)，但经历了这个晚上的事之后，他们开始明白了年轻人说的这句话的意思(meaning)了。15.B 和第5题的考点相似，描述年轻人的特性。从他两个月的平时表现可以总结他的优良品质，与前一个词忠诚地(loyally)相近，故选B项faithfully“诚心诚意地”。16.D 前一句说的是当天气好(clear)的时候年轻人在任劳任怨踏实工作，而当天气
81、突变的时候，他已经提前做好准备了。故选D项 broke(天气)“突变”。17.A 从前两句得知年轻人在暴风雨来临之前把事情安排好(prepare for the storm)了，因此他可以在晚上睡得安稳，没有后顾之忧。所以选A项in peace。18.D 作者整篇文章的格调是赞美宣扬未雨绸缪的精神，所以对事先懂得安排工作的人是持欣赏(appreciate)的态度。19.C 前面说的一种现象是工作(work)时该工作，玩(play)的时候尽情玩，与后面的这一类能够提前(in advance)准备的人是一种对比转折关系。20.B 这类能够提前为工作做准备的人最后把事情做好(make work do

90、所以电流不能通过鸟的身体；其二，站在同一条电线上的鸟的两只脚间的电压差近乎为零。1.B 由前面的living可知，应选前文bird的上义词，而非bird本身，故选creature(生物)。解题策略是词语上下义复现。2.C 根据文章第一句“Why dont birds on a wire get a shock?”可知本文主题与“电”有关，故选current(电流)。解题策略是词语同现。同时，由下文多次出现的current也可知。3.B 由常识和However可知，应选与上文相反的意思，即“没有任何电流通过鸟的身体”。4.A 由常识可知，鸟与电线形成电路并有很高的电阻，故选form(形成)。5.
91、C 见上题解析。6.D 由so可知，因为鸟有很高的电阻，所以电流只经过电线而不能流经鸟的身体。解题策略是逻辑推断。7.A 由or可知，应选与下文中“a road full of holes”相对的smooth。两者为反义同现。8.B 由常识可知，人们一向都会选平坦的道路，因此，此处表示“答案很明显”。9.D 因“the easier path”和上文“a smooth road”是近义复现。10.A 所有物体都有电阻，只因材料不同而电阻不同。11.C 因resistance to the flow of current是原词复现。12.D 见第10题解析。13.A pass through是原
92、词复现，也是run through的同义复现。14.C 电流流动实际上是带电粒子的流动。15.B 与后面the naked eye同现的只有invisible；并由常识可知，带电粒子是肉眼看不到的。16.D 句意：这些带电粒子需要能量输入，以使它们可以转移。17.B 见第16题解析。transfer是flow的近义复现。18.C 根据本段末的“two points”可知point是原词复现。19.A 根据常识可知，小鸟都是两只脚站立在同一条电线上的，故选A项。20.D 见第19题解析。(九)A New Pair of ShoesWhen I got sober(戒酒),my adviser t

100、.C 16.D 17.A 18.D 19.A 20.D 本文作者通过戒酒的经历说明要改变一个人的习惯必须从每一件小事彻底地做起，才能成大事。1.C 上文提到作者要通过改变生活中的一切来改变喝酒的习惯，本句中作者说要改变穿牛仔裤的习惯，变成穿一般的裤子。牛仔裤跟一般的裤子相对。不是“短裤”(shorts),也不是“衬衫”(shirts)。2.D 本句意为我将穿着西式衬衫换成T恤衫。switch意为“转换”，cater to意为“迎合”。3.B 作者愿意改变很多东西，但是不愿意放弃的是牛仔靴子。give up意为“放弃”，give away意为“泄露；捐赠”，give in意为“屈服”，give
101、off意为“发出”。4.C 作者向他的建议人说，他肯定不会沉溺于一双牛仔靴子，并根据后面一句“I am willing to”也可以推断出是surely。5.B 根据第一段末提到的“cowboy boots”可以推断出答案。6.A 作者还是保证可以改变很多事情。故选change。7.B 此处表示“如果有需要甚至可以放弃这些靴子”。但后半句作者又说这些靴子看上去笨笨的，说明作者割舍不下。just意为“刚好、仅仅”，ever意为“曾经”。8.B 根据上文作者对割舍不下的靴子说是“silly”可知。9.C 本句中的tell意为“判断”，declare意为“宣称”，speak强调说某种语言。根据上文中
102、作者对靴子的不舍之情可以“判断”作者不是很彻底地想放弃靴子。10.A 建议人说过之后，作者终于要“证明”给他看，即放弃穿牛仔靴子。故选A项。11.A 作者向上帝表明放弃靴子的意志力。故选A项，willingness意为“自愿、乐意”。其他选项不合题意。12.B 于是作者放弃了靴子，买了双网球鞋。故选B项。13.C 本句的前半部分讲到作者30天不穿靴子，取而代之的是穿网球鞋，故选instead(代替)。to some extent意为“在某一程度上”。14.D 根据后面作者提到穿牛仔靴子造成脚一直疼“the boots were causing my feet to hurt”可知选D项。15.
103、C stop to do 意为“停下来去做某事”；hope to do 希望做某事；hesitate to do 犹豫做某事；mean to do 打算做某事。此处表示作者从没停下来去想过穿牛仔靴子造成脚一直疼。16.D 根据文章的第一句可知，作者是戒酒，所以此处表示“没有想到是酒精对自己造成的伤害”。17.A 根据上文可知，作者现在意识到了，所以愿意放弃生活中的一切枷锁。get willing to do sth.意为“变得愿意做某事”。18.D 放弃生活中的枷锁，最终对生活不会造成伤害，故选D项。19.A 根据本句的前面部分“每天做些不同的东西”可知此处表示“用某一种新的方式去做”。故选A项。20.D 根据本段第一句的“And every day I do something different”可知应选D项。THANK YOU!
