8、hter和trap之间是被动关系,因此应用被动语态。由谓语动词risked可知,Johnson救女儿是过去的事情,由for two days可知被困两天发生在Johnson救了他女儿之前,即“过去的过去”,因此要用过去完成时态。故选D项。2. By the end of 2010, he _ in NBA for nine years.A. playsB. playedC. has playedD. had played【答案】D【解析】【详解】考查时态辨析。句意:到2010年底,他已经在 NBA 呆了9年。根据本句中的时间状语“By the end of 2010”,可知,时间为截止到201

Motivated;from【答案】D【解析】【详解】考查过去分词和固定搭配。句意:出于自身利益的驱使,他从不缺席有关这一主题的讲座。前半句没有主语,两句之间无连接词连接,所以第一空需要用非谓语动词,motivate和he之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词作原因状语,故第一空填Motivated。
13、be absent from表示“缺席.”,是固定搭配,故第二空填from,故选D项。7.

17、。综上可知,答案为D。11.

18、C。12. The prices of meat _ greatly with seasons.A. variesB. variousC. varyD. variety【答案】C【解析】【详解】考查时态主谓一致。句意:肉的价格随季节变化很大。various形容词,意为“各种各样的”,variety名词,意为“多样,种类”,而vary动词,意为“变化,改变”。此处缺少谓语动词,且陈述的是事实,所以本句为一般现在时。根据主语为The prices of meat“肉的价格”,prices为复数,可知谓语动词要用复数形式。故选C项。13. Who move my cheese is a good b
19、ook which needs_.A. to be digestedB. digestedC. be digestedD. being digested【答案】A【解析】【详解】考查不定式的被动语态。句意:谁动了我的奶酪是一本需要消化的好书。由needs可知此处要用动词不定式,且由主语which指的是Who move my cheese这本书,与digest为被动关系,因此此处要用不定式的被动语态。故选A项。14.

It is not about the difference between the two real animals. This distinction was first made by the Greek p
72、oet Archilochus over 2,500 years ago. He claimed that “the fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing.”There are a number of different interpretations of this idea. Some believe it describes two different types of people dealing with things in their lives. According to them, people
73、like hedgehogs view the world through a single defining perspective(视角).But people who are foxes see the world in various ways and believe their experiences cannot be boiled down to a single concept.The strength of the hedgehog is that it has a clear central vision and focus, whereas the fox is flex
74、ible and open to many new ways of understanding life.The hedgehog is firm and devotes its life to one single thing, but the fox is open to changing its mind and willing to try different things.Some critics argue that this contrast is too simple and that in reality most people are partly like a fox a
75、nd partly like a hedgehog. But there does seem to be something useful in the distinction if we look at people around us and observe their attitudes towards the work they do.For example, if we look at famous writers, we can see a distinction between those who devote their life to writing on one theme
76、 and those who have very varied careers. The great Chinese writer Cao Xueqin from the Qing Dynasty spent many years creating his epic novel Dream of the Red Chamber. Similarly, the 20th-century French writer Marcel Proust toiled for many years to produce an enormously long and autobiographical work
77、entitled Remembrance of Things Past about a young mans journey through life.On the other hand, there are some writers who are happy to experiment with different styles and produce a wide variety of works. William Shakespeare is an example of this kind of writer, who turned his hand to comedies, hist
78、ories and tragedies as well as writing numerous poems. Another writer who wrote a number of genres(体裁) is the 20th-century Irishman James Joyce whose writings range from naturalistic short stories, to a modern classic novel to an enormous experimental work pushing back the boundaries of language its
79、elf.So, if we can divide peoples attitudes towards dealing with things in life into two groups: devoted, single-minded hedgehogs, or curious, adventurous foxes, which are you?44. According to Archilochuss statement, what is the distinction between the fox and hedgehog?(no more than 10 words)45. What
80、 does the underlined expression “boiled down to” in paragraph 2 probably mean?(no more than 5 words)46. What is the main characteristics of people like hedgehogs?(no more than 15 words)47. What do some critics say about the distinction between foxes and hedgehogs?(no more than 25 words)48. Are you m
81、ore like a hedgehog or a fox? Give your reasons.(no more than 25 words)【答案】44. The fox knows more things than the hedgehog 45. resolve into 46. They have a clear central vision and they are devoted and single-minded. 47. They think this contrast is too simple but its sometimes useful for them to obs
82、erve peoples attitudes towards the work. 48. I think I am more like hedgehogs. Because I prefer to focus on one thing and try my best to make it perfect.【解析】本文是议论文,主要介绍了狐狸型人格和刺猬型人格。【44题详解】考查细节理解。根据第一段“This distinction was first made by the Greek poet Archilochus over 2,500 years ago. He claimed that
83、 “the fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing.”(这种区别最早是由希腊诗人阿奇洛科斯在2500多年前提出的。他声称:“狐狸知道很多事情,而刺猬只知道一件大事。)可知,根据Archilochus的说法,狐狸和刺猬的区别是:狐狸知道的事情比刺猬多,故答案为The fox knows more things than the hedgehog。【45题详解】考查词义猜测。根据第二段“But people who are foxes see the world in various ways and believe
84、their experiences cannot be boiled down to a single concept” 但是狐狸的人以不同的方式看世界,并且相信他们的经历不能boiled down to一个单一的概念。根据上文的see the world in various ways可知,像狐狸的人倾向于不同的方式看世界,因此他们不会把他们的经历归结为一个概念。由此可知,划线词的意思为“归结为”, resolve into是同义词,故答案为resolve into。【46题详解】考查推理判断。根据第三段“The strength of the hedgehog is that it has
85、 a clear central vision and focus,”( 刺猬的力量在于它有一个清晰的中心视野和焦点。)和“The hedgehog is firm and devotes its life to one single thing” (刺猬是坚定的,把它的一生都献给一件事。)可知,刺猬的特征是有清晰中心视野并,意志坚定且一心一意。故答案为They have a clear central vision and they are devoted and single-minded.【47题详解】考查细节理解。根据第四段Some critics argue that this co
86、ntrast is too simple and that in reality most people are partly like a fox and partly like a hedgehog. But there does seem to be something useful in the distinction if we look at people around us and observe their attitudes towards the work they do.”(一些评论家认为,这种对比过于简单,事实上,大多数人部分像狐狸,部分像刺猬。但是,如果我们观察周围的
87、人,观察他们对工作的态度,这种区别似乎确实是有用的。)可知,一些批评家认为这种对比太简单了,但是这种对比对于观察他人也很有帮助。故答案为They think this contrast is too simple but its sometimes useful for them to observe peoples attitudes towards the work.【48题详解】考查观点态度。该题为开放性题目,回答时先选出自己是哪一类人,然后根据文章中线索解释原因。例如,可以这样回答:I think I am more like hedgehogs. Because I prefer t

93、四步:连句成篇(衔接词) 表因果关系:Because, As, So, Thus, Therefore, As a result 连句成文,注意使用恰当的连词进行句子之间的衔接与过渡,书写一定要规范清晰,【点睛】高分句型1Then I saw Liu Kai who was called Naughty King and lonely.然后我看见被称作淘气王的刘凯独自一人。本句是who引导的定语从句,从句修饰Liu Kai,先行词是人,在从句中做主语,关系词用who或that。高分句型2He was so naughty that no one wanted to send cards to him.他太调皮了,以至于没人想送卡片给他。本句是sothat引导的结果状语从句。
