15、极的消息了,我想读些好(good)消息,换换口味。”这里glance at是固定词组,表示“对看一眼,瞥见”。3A根据下文说“想换换口味”可知,这里应是指已经厌倦了现在的头版消息。4B参见第2题解析。这里表达的意思应该与negative相反,所以选good,也可从第6空后的a good news newspaper得到提示。5A实际上(In fact),“我”认为人们应该出版(publish)一种只有好消息的报纸。6D参见第5题解析。7A报纸上讲些美好的、鼓舞人心的故事,讲述人们如何克服困难这里用stories表示“故事,事情”,选A项。8B这位女收银员对“我”能够光顾她们的便利店表示了感谢,
16、所以用thanked。9C从上下文可知,“我们”告别的时候,彼此都很高兴,所以她应该是“笑着”跟我说再见的,用laughed。10A第二天,“我”又顺路经过这家店。drop by表示“顺便经过”,stand by表示“站在旁边”,bring in表示“引进”,take in表示“欺骗,让进入”,根据语意选A项。11B从上下文可知,这次的收银员不是上次的那位,用different。12C作者买了报纸和水后,付钱给收银员,所以用handed,表示“交给”。13A但这位收银员什么也没说,微笑也没有,甚至连一个手势都没有。所以根据上下文,该空用gesture,表示“手势,姿势”。14Din a neg
17、ative tone表示“用消极的语调”,故选D项。15B 这让作者非常震撼。此处hit表示“使某人突然意识到并感到惊讶”。16A从上文可知,第一位收银员让作者感觉非常好,所以用great,但第二位收银员给作者的感觉好像是作者的出现(showing up)给她带来了很多麻烦和不便。17C参见第16题解析。move on“向前进,继续”,go away“走开”,show off “炫耀”,都与语境不符。18C从上下文可知,你每天早上都要问问自己,所以用反身代词yourself。19B从语境可知,这将极大地决定(determining)你人生(life)中要经历的幸福和快乐。determine“决
18、定”。create“创造”,share “分享”,form“形成”.20D参见第19题解析。(2) 1D这是一个常识题,即能够过小溪而不湿鞋或脚。A、B和C三项虽然符合语法,但却不合常理。2C工程师正在想一个办法,所以用way,且“to get automobiles across the river without getting their wheels wet”是不定式短语作该词的定语。road “马路”;route“路线”;way“方式,方法,办法”;course“河道,航线,过程”。3B前文交代了the young fisherman和the engineer这两者提出的问题,所以选
19、择both“两者,两者都”。4Atake long“花费很长时间”;根据后文的“just place a board across the little stream”可知,渔夫的桥不会花很长时间就能建成。5A “have it”在此的意思是“达到目的,实现”。此句补全意为“只要在小溪放一块木板就搞定了”。6D因为是人要过小溪,所以这个临时木板桥只要够结实,只要渔夫不那么重,一切就没有问题,所以此处要选D项,weigh“称重”。7C根据上下文内容可知应该选择C项,“设计,策划”。8B前文问:那位工程师会计划做同样的桥吗?此空所在的句子:你知道他不会这样做的。根据下文可知应该选择B项。9D两个人
20、,一个人要徒步过小溪,另一个是乘车过河,所以此处应该选择D项,就是说“车比人重得多”。10A河流与小溪比较,应该是宽得多,所以A项正确。如果选择B项,则表示小溪本身很深,才会说河流更深。再结合下文“A long wood bridge just wont.”这部分,更是表明这里讨论的是河流和溪水的宽度。11Ado在此的意思是“够用,足够”,为不及物动词,补全后句意为:长的木桥还不够。make需和it搭配意为“成功”;pass意为“通过”时是及物动词;arise“产生”,不合逻辑。12C根据空后面的“and break under its own weight”可知答案为C项。it指前面的a l
21、ong wood bridge。因为木桥不够结实,那么在自身的重力下就会变弯曲甚至是断掉。13B渔夫的问题很容易解决,但是工程师的就不那么简单了。根据句意可知答案为B项。14C四个选项中只有C项feel是系动词,后面可以接形容词作表语。句意:别为工程师感到难过。15D根据后面的“the very beginning”可知,此处用D项,start from the very beginning “从一开始”。16 B 即“每座桥都要适合其特殊目的”。be suited to“适合”。17A后面的“nearby”指的是前面“河流的附近”, 即“河附近的陆地”。18D根据前面的“choose the type best suited to the river”可知应该选择D项,意思是“要选择更合适的桥”。19C该句主语“they”指的是前面“用纸板做的桥”,后面的宾语为“fiveton truck”,据此应该选择C项,即这个桥不能承受5吨的卡车。20BA项“用途,用处”;B项“想法,主意,观点”;C项“尝试,企图”;D项“因素”。句意:但是你可以通过多做一些实验来弄清桥梁设计的一些主要思想。
