30、均不符合句意。3答案:A句意:我的成绩有了提高,但是我还不是十分满意(satisfied)。句中的“but”是重要信息词。4答案:Ctalk.into“说服某人做某事”;put.into“将注入;投入”;turn.into“使成为”;throw.into“把扔进”。由语境可知,答案选C。5答案:Ctough“坚韧的”;detailed“详细的”;rough“粗略的”;general“一般的”;草稿应该是粗略的,故答案选C。6答案:Asb. spend some time(in)doing sth.意为“某人花时间做某事”。其他选项均无此结构。7答案:A此处意为“而且考德威尔先生还鼓励我当一名老
31、师”。encourage“鼓励”;force“强迫”;prevent“阻止”;beg“恳求”。故答案选A。8答案:B从下文内容看,此处表示“我最难忘的经历(experience)”。experiment“试验”;example“例子”;moment“时刻”;均不符合句意。9答案:A从上句“He was unable to add, minus, multiply, or divide”可知“达尼尔远远落后于他的同学”。选项中只有behind符合句意。10答案:D既然“He was far behind his classmates”,因此“他需要个别关注(attention)”。11答案:A依
32、据句意,这里表示“当我开始上课时”,答案选A。while引导的从句中,谓语动词应是持续性动词或状态动词。12答案:A考查形容词辨析。由“Darnell was very quiet”以及“I was becoming frustrated”可知,“他对学习不感兴趣(uninterested)”。involved“有关联的”;concerned“关切的”;interested“感兴趣的”,均不符合句意。13答案:Dachieve a goal意为“达到目标”。14答案:Bopen up to sb.“对畅所欲言”;look up to sb.“尊敬某人”;walk up to sb.“走近某人”
33、;come up to“达到”。由语境可知,答案选B。15答案:C“.became absorbed in his work. His progress began to show through”,那么他的成绩一定大大“提高”(improve)了。16答案:C依据上下文,此处表示“我们学数学乐趣无穷”。17答案:D由“created many games and played them”可知,这样的教学方式一定会使达尼尔觉得更“有趣(enjoyable)”。18答案:B联系上下文可知,此处意为“一旦他得到这种我所能给他的一对一的照顾,他的成绩立刻就会提高”。receive“得到”,其他选项均
34、不符合句意。19答案:A依据句意可知,选instantly“立刻;马上”;punctually“准时地”;slowly“慢慢地”;gradually“渐渐地”;均不符合句意。20答案:D此处表示“方式;方法”,故应选D项,其他选项均无此意。III 1答案:C从文章第一段第一句“For any Englishman,there can never be any discussion as to who is the worlds greatest poet and greatest dramatist.”可知C项表达的含义与本句相同,即英国人都知道莎翁是最伟大的诗人与剧作家。而A,B,D都是字面
35、意思,并非本意。2答案:A此题主要考查对文中第一段第三句中“Every Englishman has some knowledge”的理解。A是此短语的正确理解,B,D是歧义,C则偏题。3答案:CA、D太绝对化,而B与文中第二段括号内的内容“it is not,of course,recommended to beginners”相矛盾。4答案:AB、C选项是普通常识错误。D项则是此题的干扰项,稍作分析即可辨识。A项的内容在第一段有述。5答案:B由文中第二段第四句“There is probably no better waywhich Shakespeare used it.”可知B项符合题意。6答案:A全文介绍了一个人物前总统吉姆卡特。他最近出了一本诗集。7答案:B由构词法可知,trout是鱼的一种。8答案:A最后一句是吉姆卡特对写诗的心得,意思是“诗歌能使人视野开阔。”9答案:C从文中找不到homesick这个词;politician为“政治家”。10答案:DA、B、C三项都在文中交代了。 高考资源网%
