33、 world.”可知,我们总是避免不了听到和见到这个世界上存在的残缺。这些见闻每天都提醒着我们人类的脆弱。remind“提醒”;order“命令”;persuade“说服”;encourage“鼓励”2解析:选C联系空前的“we are more fragile”可知,此处是指人类比我们所愿意承认的更脆弱。admit“勉强承认”;conclude“得出结论”;expect“预料”;prove“证明”。3解析:选A由空前的“being broken”和空后的others可知,此处应填breaking。此处论述了我们每天都面临着被挫伤或挫伤别人。4解析:选B由下文的论述可知,此处指我们在生活中都经
34、历过某种形式的挫折,我们也知道其他人遭遇过挫折。experience“经历”;finish“完成”;start“开始”;create“创造”。5解析:选D联系上一句中的“a blessing in disguise”和空后的“the longterm”可知,对于有些人来说,遇到挫折就像塞翁失马,焉知非福,因此脆弱只是暂时的。temporarily“暂时地”;gradually“逐渐地”;slightly“轻微地”;finally“最后”。6解析:选C由空后的“increased strength”可知,此处是指长期效应是实力的增强。effect“效果”;condition“条件”;design
35、“设计”;course“课程”。7解析:选D根据常识可知实力增强自然会使他们成为更加优秀的人,故用better。8解析:选B由空前的“takes them down hard”和空后的selfdestructive判断,这里说明的是那些无法承受打击的人的情况。由此判断,他们遇到打击后会一蹶不振,逐渐脱离社会。withdraw“退出”;receive“收到”;suffer“遭受”;demand“要求”。9解析:选A由空后的“back to wholeness”判断,此处应用road,表示由残缺恢复到完满之路。road“路”;signal“信号”;state“状态”;level“水平”。10解析:
36、选C上一句说到,恢复的过程可能是积极的也可能是消极的,可能是痛苦的也可能是幸福的,可能是健康的也可能是不健康的。由此作者提出问题:那么这是否意味着从挫折中恢复过来的办法取决于我们遇到的挫折的类型呢?mean“意味着”;decide“决定”;follow“跟随”;report“报告”。11解析:选D联系上文的提问以及空后的“is no”可知,此处是指作者的回答。answer“回答”;thought“思想”;effect“效果”;advice“建议”。12解析:选A作者以曼德拉的经历为例论证自己的观点。因此判断,作者应该认为曼德拉是被错误地关押了27年。falsely“错误地”;seriously
37、“严肃地”;safely“安全地”;accidentally“偶然地”。13解析:选B因为曼德拉一生坎坷,他肯定在某个时候遭遇过某种形式的挫折,所以作者才会以他为例。face“面临,面对”;accept“接受”;predict“预测”;remember“记得”。14解析:选A根据上一句中的“today his life speaks of wholeness(现在他的人生堪称完满)”可知,作者认为他现在是一个完满的人。15解析:选B由空后的“with limbs missing(肢体残缺)”可知,此处应用war。很多从战场上退下来的士兵四肢有缺失,并且还遇到种种问题,但是,他们并没有因此而失去
38、生活的勇气。16解析:选C从战场上退下来的人,除了肢体的残缺外,应该还会遇到精神、社会和情感上的问题,因此此处用challenge合适。challenge“挑战”;conflict“冲突”;ability“能力”;test“测试”。17解析:选B根据上文可知,这些人的心灵上有创伤,故用heart。18解析:选D由上文的“but today theyre still whole”可知,他们并没有任由这种残缺继续下去,而是以健康的方式对待,拒绝让那些伤害他们的人或事使他们一蹶不振。refuse“拒绝”;choose“选择”;hesitate“犹豫”;pretend“假装”。19解析:选A由上文可知
39、,他们抚平了过去的创伤,不抛弃、不放弃,勇往直前。move on“继续前行”;light up“照亮,使变得喜悦”;give in“屈服”;stay on“继续停留”。20解析:选C联系上文和空后的“to survive any form of brokenness”可知,从任何形式的挫折中生存下来都是一场战斗。fight“战斗”;opportunity“机会”;opinion“意见”;disaster“灾难”。.语篇解读:本文主要介绍了Warriors这本书的人物和内容。1解析:选C细节理解题。从第一段最后两句可知本题答案:这三个武士猫踏上旅程是为了找出杀害Ashfur的凶手。2解析:选C推
40、理判断题。第二段主要介绍了这三个武士猫将要面对的危险,由此可见它们的旅程是不轻松的。3解析:选A词义猜测题。第三段主要介绍本书的作者笔名的由来:Erin Hunter是三位作家的化名。他们起这个名字是由于之前的一本关于老鼠的奇幻小说。他们书中的人物也属于这一类。因此bracket的意思是“范围”,与range同义。4解析:选B细节理解题。根据第四段的内容可知答案。语篇解读:本文分析了不同历史时期的作品的主题、对现实的不同理解及不同的艺术风格等。5解析:选C根据上文“No matter what objects they select, artists are to bring forth ne
41、w forces and forms that cause change”可知,他们发现的是与以前不同的东西。6解析:选C细节理解题。根据第二段第五、六句“Unlike Cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature,Leslie paints what he actually sees.In his paintings,there is no particular change in emotions and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background.”可知,Leslie画的是普通的东西。7解析:选B推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知,每代艺术家对现实的理解都不同。艺术家对现实的理解在变化,故选B项。8解析:选B主旨大意题。文章各段分别分析了不同历史时期的作品的主题、对现实的不同理解及不同的艺术风格等,故选B项。
