26、ut说出。句意为:这张照片是很久以前照的,我不知道你能否认出我的父亲。2A考查代词。本句中it作形式宾语,代替后面的不定式。3Drefer to谈到,涉及,此处是过去分词短语作problem的后置定语。系动词is的主语是problem。4D动作be seen发生在saw之前,即此处表示过去的过去,所以用过去完成时的被动语态。5C句意为:由于楼上的噪音,他把头压在枕头底下,但还是不能入睡。第一个空不是简单的“放置”;用bury;fall asleep入睡,是固定短语。6Bwhy引导定语从句修饰reason;当主语是reason时,其表语从句只能用that引导,不能用because或for。7D提
27、问做某事的频率用how often;on average意为“平均来说”。8D第一空“Is there any possibility.?”意为“有的可能性吗?”第二空用that引导同位语从句。9B句意为“这个场面是吓人的,在那里的男孩们都感到恐惧”。“吓人的”用terrifying;“感到恐惧的,受惊吓的”用terrified。10D这是一个包含虚拟语气的句子,主句与过去事实相反,所以谓语动词用would have done结构。11Dwhy not后接动词原形,排除A项和C项;try doing试着去做某事;try to do尽力去做。12B根据对话可以知道回答者对解释原因的人很不满意。因
28、此要用“借口”表达不相信或陈述内容不客观。13B此句是when the great man was asked about his success的省略形式,当主、从句主语一致,而且从句中含有be动词时,可以省去从句中的主语和be动词,故选B。14B动词的ing形式表示意料中的结果,作结果状语。15Cexperience作“经验”讲时,通常用做不可数名词(没有复数形式,也不能与不定冠词连用);当它作“经历”讲时,是个可数名词,有复数形式,也可与不定冠词连用。.句子翻译16Tornadoes can pick up cars,trains and even houses.17It suddenl

30、的人“无法忍受”,备受煎熬。22C在欢庆时刻成为被人“遗忘”的(人),离开心爱的人是困难而又痛苦的事情。前两项分别表示“实施”“切掉,裁剪出”,不符合语意。23A狱中的人经常有一种“被忘记”或被忽视的感觉。24B感恩节本是亲朋好友团聚的时刻,可作者却身在牢狱,失去自由的痛苦自然让作者在这个特殊的日子里没有食欲,“拒绝”进食。dislike后通常跟动词的ing形式作宾语,而且与D项意思基本相同,可排除。25C作者的内心进行着以前从未有过的激烈的思想斗争,既有无法与亲人团聚的“愤怒”,又有为自己的罪行而难过的心理,悲愤交加。26A在圣诞节作者甚至不愿起床,“呆”在被子里以掩饰眼中的泪水。D项用在此
31、处没有任何意义。27A作者一直以为监狱中的节日最糟糕,“直到”意识到几件事情之后,这种想法才得以转变。28B一旦摆脱了所有的商业活动,作者才懂得了节日的真谛所在。about表示“关于”。29C节日是我们用来审视我们的人生、成功、失败以及和心爱的人共度美好时光时的“借口”。第36空处后面的to use a holiday as an excuse也是暗示。30C不能和心爱的人共度“美好”时光是很不愉快的事情。前两项意思基本相同,可排除;D项表示“暂时的”,与所给语境不符。31D结合上一段的最后可判断此项正确。A项是不及物动词,不能直接跟宾语。32D虽然无法和心爱的人在一起,但可以通过打电话、寄卡
32、片或写信等方式在“精神”上在一起。此处的spiritually与句中的physically相对应。33C根据生活常识可知“有些人”会让我们不高兴。34D虽然生活中有些人无法让我们快乐,可是有些特殊的地方和特别的人却对我们的思想状态有所“帮助”。35B这种愉悦和关爱来自“内心”。36A将节日看做是悲伤或紧张的借口很“容易”,而且作者也一直在这么做。此处与challenge相对应。37D挑战在于把每一天都看做是值得庆祝的“特别的”日子。作者由在监狱中过节有感而发,而节日一般都是值得纪念的特殊日子,所以选择此项。38D无论是否在狱中,人生都是珍贵的“礼物”。C项表示“奖赏;报答”,不符合语意。39D
33、作者的思想认识发生转变后,“计划”认真庆祝今年的每一天。如果选择A项,需要在后面加上for;假如选择B项,需要在后面加上about。40B此处与上一段末句中的life相呼应。.阅读理解【语篇解读】本文介绍了爱丁堡国际电影节明年将从八月提前到六月,并分析了其原因。41D主旨大意题。文章第一段就指出了本文的主题爱丁堡国际电影节明年要从八月提前到六月。42B句意理解题。由第一段可知,艺术总监Hannah McGill说电影节需要喘息的机会,有足够的活动空间;第二段又指出在同一地点和时间,多种文化活动会因为有限的空间而造成压力,作者接着打个比喻,同样也是为了说明这一问题。43A细节理解题。由文章倒数第
34、二段中“annual film events”可知是每年举行一次,故A项表述错误。44A词义猜测题。由“however”和“There are still hundreds of spaces that arent used,and there is still room for it to expand”可以推测出Jon Morgan不同意爱丁堡电影节时间的变动,故答案为A。45D推理判断题。由文章第二段和第三段可知,八月份爱丁堡要举行各种各样的文化活动,由此可推出对爱丁堡的文艺界来说,八月份是一个繁忙的月份。A项与最后一段第一句不符;B、C两项文中有明确表述,不是推出的结论。w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m
