  Passage 21

  根据短文内容,从各题所给的四个选项中,选出一个最佳答案。

  Two runners stand side by side at the starting line of a race. Both look very strong and fast . 1 one runner speeds ahead and wins the race. The other falls behind.

  Some athletes can reach great 2 such as the achievement of an Olympic gold medal. Others never live up to their 3 .What kind of 4 before a race or another event makes the 5?

  Everyone knows that athletes work out to strengthen their 6. But research shows that strengthening the mind may be just as 7. Careful study indicates (表明) that the best athletes win 8 because they think they can win.

  Thinking positive thoughts seems to give possibility for 9 in sports. People who say to themselves over and over, “I know I can do this, ”often find they have the 10 to win. On the other hand, people often 11 ,who think, “I can’t win.”

  One procedure that helps many athletes is creating 12 in the mind. They are told to think of each 13 they must make to win. Some use pictures that are more fanciful. One skater liked to 14 a star bursting inside her, 15 her with energy. Another athlete who wanted to feel 16 pictured himself as a 17 floating in the air.

  Next time you want to do something well, try training your 18 to help you. Perhaps a teacher or another instructor can help you plan your training. If you imagine yourself doing better, you may soon see 19 in what you 20 can do. Positive thinking and picture created in your mind can help you win!

  18. A. body B. mind C. thoughts D. imagination

  19. A. improvement B. advantage C. chance D. winning

  20. A. usually B. really C. possibly D. mostly

  答案与分析

  通读全文,本文是说明文。全文通过运动员赛跑为例说明积极思维,想象成功在取得成功方面的重大作用。

  1. C Both look strong and fast 是这两个运动员的共同点,空后的句子的意思是,有的成功了,有的失败了, 因此前后间为转折关系。

  2. D B,C有较大干扰性,分析空后的短语我们可以知道,such as 后的中心词是achievement, 它是运动员所要达到的目标(goals)而不是奖牌(medals)和奖励(prizes)。

  3. B “有的人一生都没有达到自己的愿望。”promise在这里用作名词,意思是“希望、愿望”。

  4. A从空后的before a race or another event我们可以看出,作者在这里问,在运动或其它项目之前,人们需要作什么准备。

  5. B the difference在此指代上文的some athletes can reach great goals…及others never live up to their promise。

  6. C strengthen the body与下文的strengthening the mind 相对。

  7. A “然而研究表明增强心理(与增强体力)同等重要。”联系上下文我们可以看出空后省略了as strengthening their bodies。

  8. C此空较难选出。作者指出,研究表明对运动员来说增强心理与增强体力同等重要,接着他用careful study 进一步说明这个理论。因此说,好的运动员能够赢部分是因为他们认为自己能赢。

  9. A“朝积极方向思维在运动上能给予成功的可能。”本句承接上段而来。

  10. B D有较大干扰性。作者在前文指出了运动员增强心理对成功的重要性,在这里他继续解释这一观点——那些认为自己能赢的有赢的优势。advantage在这里的意思是“优势”。

  11. A本空可以从上一句得到答案依据。

  12. B从下文Some use pictures that are more fanciful 可得到答案依据。

  13. A选择本空要与空后的定语从句联系起来,make each move to do sth.意思是“采取一切行动做某事”。本句的意思是“他们被告诉要采取一切可以采取的行动去获胜。”

  14. B联系上下文,a star bursting inside her 纯属于一种想象(imagination)。

  15. C星星在她体内迸裂后给她注满了能量。

  16. A从空后的pictured himself as a 17 (bird) floating in the air 我们可以推知,运动员通过想象一只鸟轻轻滑翔在空中来镇定自己。

  17. B从空后的floating in the air 得此答案。

  18. B全文讲的是心理作用(mind)在成功中的重要性。

  19. A 如果你想你做得更好,你会发现在你所能做的事情上会有大的改观。

  20. B 从前文我们知道心理在成功上起一定作用。因此你所想象的事情必须是你确实(really)能做的,这样对你做的事情才能有帮助。

  Passage 22

  根据短文内容,从各题所给的四个选项中,选出一个最佳答案。

  Diana and Mary were lovely girls. The more I knew of them, the 1 I liked them. In a few days I had recovered (恢复) my 2 enough to sit up all day, and even 3 out sometimes.

  答案与分析

  本文是记叙文。全文讲述了“我”与Diana , Mary这姐妹两人的友好交往。

  1. A “我越了解他们,我越喜欢他们”。the more. . . the more 越……越……

  2. B 从本段最后一句...and I enjoyed for the first time the pleasure 5 (coming) from perfect agreement in taste, feeling and 6 (ideas).得知,“我”恢复的不是视力、记忆力和勇气,因此其他答案均不合题意。

  3. C and在此表示顺接,从空前的“我能坐起来了”得此答案。

  4. B“我能与这姐妹二人一起做各种活动了。” join sb. in sth. 与某人一起做某事。

  5. D come from在此意为“从……中回来”。

  6. C ideas在此指“意念”,作者在此是说,现在康复了,又能与正常人一样生活了。

  7. D 从空后的around it看,A,B均不合题意,family 指家庭的成员,因此也不合题意。

  8. B this place指their house and the wild country around it.

  9. B 在此A有较大干扰性, 我们很容易就认为“在家里我们玩得很好。”从I like to read what they liked to read以及下文,我们得知他们并非在玩, 而是兴趣相投。 agree在此意为“一致”。

  10. A 从空后的but I...得此答案。

  11. C“但是我带着热情走着他们早已经过的知识的道路。”

  12. D 从空后的me German我们得知,Diana主动提出教“我”德语。

  13. A “我以给Mary上绘画课作为回报”。

  14. C 从空后的and weeks like days得此答案。

  15. A close friendship 紧密的关系。

  16. D从空后的between me and the two sisters 得此答案。在此C有较大干扰性,among指三者以上,因此不合题意。

  17. D从下一句He spent a great deal of time 18 (visiting) some of his neighbors who were sick and poor得此答案。

  18. A visit在此意为“探望”。

  19. C“人们见他每天都走进他们(his neighbors who were sick and poor)的家。”

  20. B 从上句“他每天都走进他们的家”得此答案。

Bancroft students will 6 in apartments, cooking their own meals, and learning to perform other 7 .As they become 8 ,they will buy their own furniture, paying for it out of their own 9 .

  答案与分析

  通读全文,本文是记叙文。全文叙述了美国新泽西州一家叫Bancroft的学校为残疾儿童能够自立所采取的措施。

  1. D其它答案均有一定干扰性。从后文我们得知Bancroft 只是采取了一些措施让残疾儿童自立,并非运用新的工具和决定。

  2. A support themselves 意思“自立”。D 有一定干扰性,enjoy oneself 意思是“过得愉快”,不合题意。

  Passage 24

  根据短文内容,从各题所给的四个选项中,选出一个最佳答案。

  The night was dark, though sometimes the moving clouds allowed a star or two to be seen in the sky. The poor men held on to any bit of 1 they could find. They called to the Marie for 2 , but she was far 3 the reach of the human voice. At one o’clock in the morning suddenly 4 were seen in the distance: another ship! The shouts of the 5 were heard on board, and willing hands pulled them out of the water. The 6 of the ship that had so7 arrived on the scene in time to save their lives was the Ellen. What had 8 her to the exact spot 9 the darkness and the pathless sea? Her captain had known 10 of the wreck (沉船) and had, indeed, 11 to sail away from it .But let him speak for himself.

  “12 I was forced by the wind to change my course, a small bird flew across the ship once or twice and then flew at my face . I 13 of this until exactly the same thing happened a second time, 14caused me to think it rather 15 .While I was thus 16, the same bird, for the third time, made its appearance and flew 17 in the same way as before. I was then 18 to change my course back to the original one. I had not gone far 19 I heard strange noises; and when I tried to 20 where they came from, I found I was in the middle of people who had been shipwrecked . I immediately did my best to save them.

  答案与分析

  本文是记叙文。一只轮船在海上沉没,船上的人们落入海中,一只鸟运用特殊方法告诉了另一船的船长异常情况,船长带着他的船队将落水的人们救起。

  1. D hold on to 意思是“紧紧抓住”。通读全文我们可以知道现在这些人是在茫茫大海里,他们必须抱住能找到的任何一块木头,以帮助自己逃生。

  2. B他们向“玛丽号”船求救。联系上下文我们可以知道the Marie 是船的名字。

  3. C beyond the reach意思是“够不着”。人们向“玛丽号”船求救,然而船上人们根本听不到他们的呼救。

  4. B lights 的意思是“光明”,在这里指生还的希望。C有一定干扰性。从空后的 another ship 看,C不合题意。

  5. D其它答案均有较大干扰性 。联系上下文,这些人的身份我们一直不知道,因此D为最佳答案。

  6. A the Ellen 是船的名字,因此此空选name。

  7. D 联系上下文我们知道是鸟将船引导到这里,因此说船侥幸及时赶到现场。B,C有较大干扰性 。空前的 in time决定了early和 immediately不合题意。

  8. A“是什么把她(船)带到这个地点的?”

  9. C through the darkness and the pathless sea意思是“穿过黑夜和茫茫大海”。

  10. B 从空后的had, indeed, 11 (attempted) to sail away from it 及下一段我们可以知道,船长事先对此事一无所知。

  11. A因为不知道这里发生了沉船,因此他原打算将船开走。

  12. A Just as在这里引导时间状语从句。

  13. C A有较大干扰性。pay attention后的介词应该是to。

  14. A which在这里引导定语从句, which指代 the same thing happened a second time的内容。

  15. D“这类事情让我感到不同寻常。”

  16. C considering在此相当于 thinking 。指船长认为鸟的举动有些异常。

  17. B fly about意思是“到处飞”。

  18. C其它答案均有一定干扰性。空前的was 决定了B不正确。 force意思是“强迫”,从文中我们可以看出没有什么强迫船长这么做,因此A不合题意,显然D也不正确。船长在这里是说“鸟的异常举动劝服了我改变主意。”

  19. A when在此意为“就在这时”。

  20. C因为是在黑夜,在茫茫大海上,船长一时辩不清声音来自什么地方,因此他首先确定声音的位置。where they had come from 是宾语从句,其他选项都不可跟宾语从句。

  Passage 25

I thought that there 5 be many people 6 myself who wished to take the express train to 7 time. Neither was I surprised 8 the train stopped at Wildly, a small station a few miles along the line. Even an express train can be 9 sometimes. But when the train stopped station after station , I began to 10 . 11 suddenly struck me that this express was not running down the line 12 90 miles an hour, but no 13 than 30. One hour and 17 minutes passed and we had not 14 half the distance. I asked a passenger if this was Westhaven Express, but he said he had not even 15 it.

  19. A. sound B. voice C. language D. face

  答案与分析

  通读全文,本文是记叙文,全文运用幽默的手法叙述了“我”因为粗心原想坐快车却坐了慢车的经过。

  1. C“我”要到Westhaven去, 因此“我”从家乡的车站走。在此A有较大干扰性, 但went to the station in my hometown意思是“去我家乡的车站”,显然不合题意。

  2. A C,D有较大干扰性,way指行走路线,distance 指两地间的距离,这两个名词都不与表示“持续多长时间”的动词last搭配。

  3. B因为是从家乡的车站上的车,因此见到许多村民(villagers) 也上了车。

  4. D从后文Neither was I surprised...得此答案。

  5. A从I was not surprised at all 得知作者对此把握较大,因此用表示推测的情态动词must。

  6. A从上下文我们得知,坐快车的并非“我”一人, 因此在此用besides一词。

  7. D坐快车的目的是为了节省时间。

  8. C当车停在Wildly的时候“我”也不吃惊。

  9. B 这是对前一句的解释,“即使是快车有时也会耽误。”delay的意思是“耽搁”。在此A有较大干扰性,put off 的意思是“推迟”,从上文我们得知,火车在小站停下, 这样就耽搁了时间,因此A不合题意。

  10. B 要注意but 前后的句子,前面用了Neither was I surprised ...,在此用but转折,I began to wonder 即I began to feel surprised.

  11. C it是形式主语,真正的主语是that从句。

  12. D 90 miles an hour表示速度,因此用介词at。

  13. A no more than 30.意思是“也不过每小时30英里”。

  14. B“我们还没有走一半的路程。”cover 在此指走的路程,其他答案均有一定的干扰性,但A,C,D 都是不及物动词,因此不合题意。

  15. D 从短文的最后一句我们得知,Westhaven Express 早就没有了,因此那位乘客说他从没听说过。

  16. C two hours later指从One hours and 17 minutes passed算起。

  17. D“我”看了时间表。时间表上说这趟车是去Westhaven的快车,但坐快车只花1小时17分,现在却用了三个多小时(从One hour and 17 minutes passed and we had not... .Two hours later,...得出),因此I was talking angrily。

  18. A从空后的his copy得此答案。

  19. B it was there in black and white 意思是“白纸黑字明明写着”,因此“我”的声音中有一种胜利的迹象。

  20. C“看了一眼时刻表,他让我仔细看一下。”
