49、 car until the angry bees had calmed down.Next,Lucy searched out elephant families in Samburu National Reserve in northern Kenya and put a speaker in a tree close to each family.From a distance,Lucy switched on the prerecorded sound of angry bees while at the same time recording the elephants with a

52、yet to know,but her initial(最初的) results were promising enough to begin trials with farmers.She has now begun placing speakers in the fields to see if elephants are frightened away._答案解析语篇解读本文主要谈到了作为团队领导者应该具有的品质。21C主旨大意题。根据第一段及下文“Take Responsibility”,“Concern for Members”和“Good Listener”可知,本文主要讲的是一个
53、团队领导者需要具有的品质。故选C。22D细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句中的“.but she should be ready to admit any mistakes the group has made as a result of her leadership.”可知,作为领导者要时刻准备承认领导错误,故选D。23B细节理解题。根据最后一段描述可知,做一个好的倾听者可以为团队成员提供一个表达自己的机会;让处理团队成员的抱怨成为可能;通过分享他们的想法让团队成员更有创造性。没有关于选项B的描述,故选B。语篇解读本文主要是介绍了语调在交流中的作用。24C推理判断题。通览全文可知,本文主要介绍
54、了语调在交流中的作用。故第一段的作用在于引出话题,因此C项正确。25B词义猜测题。根据第三段第一句和最后一句可知选B。26B推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“If you plainly said the same thing,you would not be matching the tone of your child.”可知选项B正确。语篇解读这是一篇夹叙夹议文。介绍了父母为了帮助孩子照顾其子女而搬至离他们很近的地方或与他们住在一起这一现象。27A细节理解题。由第一段最后一句“.regard the move as a success,giving them a closer relati
55、onship.”一句可知,Garza一家子孙三代住在一起,使他们的关系更亲密了,也就是加强了他们家人之间的纽带。因此答案为A。28D推理判断题。由第二段最后一句“Twothirds believe more families will follow the example of Obamas family.”不难看出,多数人认为这是一种趋势。29C细节理解题。由第三段首句可知,人们急切地想要“远走高飞”来证明自己能独立行事。因此C为正确答案。30A推理判断题。本段首句即为中心句。由接下来的解释可知,祖父母不可盲从,要视自己的利益做出相应的选择。故答案为A。语篇解读本文主要讲述了一些给人提供支持
56、和鼓励的方法。31E在生活中难免会遇到挫折、生病及其他相似的挑战,当这些事情发生的时候,我们会本能的站出来给他们鼓励和支持,所以答案是E。32G情况不同,我们所提供的鼓励和支持也会有所不同,有时候,我们需要做的仅仅是做做家务,跑跑腿,接打电话之类的,让他们知道我们在那里,所以答案是G。33B下文提到对于在这种情况下的人们,一个电话或一声问候就足够了。下文中的“who is feeling isolated”也是提示,故选B。34A你知道发生了一些不好的事情,如果你让对方知道你在他们身边,并帮助他们解决问题,他们会感到很安慰并愿意和你分享,所以答案是A。35D后文提到他们或许并不承认他们所发生的
57、不幸,你或许永远无法理解他们生活中的事情,所以答案是D。语篇解读本文讲述了“我”因为母亲下岗心情低落,在听到一位女士在喧嚣的人群中弹奏钢琴曲子并得到她的开导工作之后,我深受鼓舞的故事。36Binstead反而,却;anyway不管怎样,无论如何;somehow以某种方式;either也。妈妈下岗了,但是她说她很好,因为之前的老板无论如何也不算是一个很好的人,故B正确。37Dsince自从以来;after在之后;before在之前;when当时候。我下了公交车,开始步行。就在那时我听到钢琴声和歌声。本句中when引导表语从句,表示时间,故选D。38Anoise吵闹声;view视野,眼界;scen
58、e景色,风景;hurry匆忙。根据本段第一句可知我从公交车上下来,走在大街上,听到了空中飘过的音乐。街上当然是喧嚣的人群和车辆的声音,故A项正确。39Cbut但是;yet然而,可是;so于是,以便;or或者。我慢下脚步以便找到音乐的来处。故C项正确。40Bacross从(表面)通过;through从(空间)穿过;beside在旁边;along沿着。我为了找到音乐的来源,穿过喧嚣的人群,来到她的面前。故选B。41Cplate盘子;basket篮子;bowl碗。根据下文一段中的“.put some money in her carriage.”可知,她的旁边有一个carriage。故C正确。42D
59、discourage使气馁;disturb打扰,烦扰;shock使震惊;comfort安慰。这位女士的歌给了我一点安慰。故D正确。43B我站在那里看她弹了大约15分钟的时间。refresh更新;play演奏;dance跳舞;beg乞讨。故B正确。44Cimage形象;belief理念,思想;courage勇气;time时间。本句指当众独自弹奏钢琴需要勇气。故C正确。45Adirection方向;instruction指示,指导;operation手术,操作;intention 目的,意图。感觉到我的存在,她就朝我这边看来。故选A。46Bnice漂亮的,美丽的;rough艰难的,粗糙的;peac
60、eful平静的;pleasure愉快。第一段提到“母亲失业,我很伤心”可知我近来很“难受”。故B正确。47Bwork工作;help帮助;stand站立,屹立;improve提高,改善。上文“.but youve made me hopeful again.”可知女士对作者的心情改善有帮助。故B正确。48Cget lost迷路;get stuck被卡在;get fired被解雇;get tired疲倦。第一段中的“My mother had been laid off from her job.”暗示母亲被解雇了。故C正确。49Awalk步行,走路;listen听;sigh叹息;talk谈话,谈
61、论。本句中“走路的方式”与下文“抬起头来”呼应。作者因为心情不好,所以走路的样子就显示出他情绪较低。故A正确。50Dexperience经历;possibility可能性;performance表演;opportunity机会。不要看起来很挫败,机会会以不同的方式到来。故D项正确。51Clift up抬起;pick up捡起,无意中学会。句意为:微笑多一点,抬起头来。本句与之前走路垂头丧气相呼应。故C正确。52Bdepress使压抑;encourage鼓励;frighten使害怕;surprise使惊讶。上文提到女士如何开导我,鼓励我。故B正确。53Anegative消极的;thoughtfu
62、l考虑周到的;active积极的;surprising令人惊讶的。与下文positively相对应。消极的人们希望摆脱痛苦,这位女士通过音乐使他们积极面对人生。故A正确。54Dattention注意力,关注;sight视力,风景;respect尊敬;pain痛苦。消极的人们希望摆脱痛苦。故D正确。55Dclassical经典的;serious严肃认真的;curious好奇的;musical音乐的。根据上文可知这位女士用音乐感动了作者,再结合最后一段中的“a musical soul”可知D项正确。56themselves考查固定结构。enjoy oneself是固定用法,故填themselve
63、s。57or考查连词。这里空格前后连接并列成分,表示选择。故填or “或者”。58to spend考查非谓语动词。动词不定式作后置定语。59making考查固定结构。from doing to doing意为“从到”,是固定结构,故填making。60but/while考查连词。空格前后所连接的内容构成转折关系,并且连词后没有逗号所以不能用however,故填but/while。61collections考查名词单复数。根据后面be动词是are可知,前面的主语是名词复数,故填collections。62a考查不定冠词。根据后文,who has a coin collection worth 2
64、50,可知这里表示泛指作者了解的一个男人,并没有具体特指,故填a。63thought考查时态。and前后时态结构一致,根据前面的was可知,这里应用一般过去时,故填thought。64extremely考查副词用法。用程度副词修饰形容词。65happier考查比较级的用法。根据后面than可知这里应用比较级,故填happier。第一节参考范文Dear_Editor,As_a_student_reader,I_am_writing_to_talk_about_the_English_textbooks_published_by_your_house.These books have many a
