1、Passage 1 Heres a story about Mings life on the waters. Ming has lived all his life on a wide r 1 in China. His home is a large house-boat with a roof, one of hundreds that move up and down. In about six years he has not once been on l 2 but he is never lonely. He is a strong swimmer. In fact, he co
2、uld swim before he could walk. When he wants to play with his f 3 he just swims across to their boats or asks them to v 4 him. Mings father is a fisherman, but he never u 5 a line or a net(网). Great black birds called cormorants do the fishing for him. Rings(圈)have been put around the birds n 6 so t
3、hat they cannot eat the fish they catch. They have been t 7 to bring the fish to people. And then people reward(奖励)them with a fine big fish as soon as their work is f 8 . Ming loves watching the cormorants, but better still he likes going s 9 with his mother. The shops, of course, are boats very li
4、ke his o 10 .1. river 2. land 3. friends 4.visit 5. uses 6. necks 7. taught/trained 8. finished 9. shopping 10. own【解析】本篇短文第一句“关于明的在水上的生活”,给大家一个总体的信息,重点是“on the waters”,而且时态为现在时。1. 既然Ming的生活是和水紧密联系的,所以第一个空就很容易了,r打头的关于水的单词,就是river,因为前面有冠词a,所以只用单数形式。2.通过前文可以得知,“Ming住在一个船型的屋子里,6年里他从来没有到过*,但是他从来不孤单”,也就是
5、说他非常喜欢在水上的生活,因此可以推测出他从来没有来过陆地,填land。3.本空的关键在play with,通常后面可以加fire、snow,但是与文意不符,所以是与朋友们玩,后文的their说明是复数形式,填friends。4.本空的ask them to * him和or之前的swims across to their boats是相互对应的,要么Ming去朋友那里,要么他的朋友来看他,所以填visit,表示拜访的意思。5.本句说到,Ming的父亲是一位渔夫,一位渔夫捕鱼用线或者网是非常正常的事情,但but表示转折,说明他的父亲与一般渔夫不一样,不使用线或者网,后文的birds do th
6、e fishing for him也说明他自己不需要用这些工具。他的父亲是第三人称,所以填uses。6.本题是难题,通过上下文可以得知,Ming的父亲在那些鸬鹚的某个部位圈上了圈,所以它们就不能把捕到的鱼吃下去了。通常鸬鹚吃鱼是直接吞的,如果不让它们吃下去的话只能在脖子上圈住,这样鱼就会卡住,吞不下去,而且鸬鹚是复数形式,所以填necks。7.那些鸬鹚不是天生就会为Ming的父亲捕鱼的,而是通过后天的训练和教导,所以填taught或者trained。8.通过句意得知,当鸬鹚的工作*了之后,它们会得到一大条鱼作为奖励,从逻辑上来看,应该是完成工作后,而且空前有is,所以填finished。9.最
7、后一句中,出现了shop,提示了此空和shop有关,应该是由go引导固定词组,go shopping,表示去购物。10.本题也是难题。因为Ming是生活在水上的,那么肯定商店也是在水上的,从短文的第二句可以推测出,商店也是和Ming的家的外形很像,所以填own,词组of ones own表示某人的,这里解释为“这个商店也和Ming自己的家外形很像”。Passage 2 Can animals be made to work for people? Some scientists think that one day animals may be trained to do a number o
8、f simple jobs i 1 of people. They say that at a circus(杂技场),for example, we may see elephants, monkeys, dogs and other animals doing q 2 skillful(熟练的)things. Perhaps you have seen them on the television or in a film. If you watch closely, you may find that the trainer always g 3 the animal some suga
9、r o 4 a piece of fruit as a reward. The scientists say that many d 5 animals may be trained to do a lot of simple things if they know they will get a reward f 6 doing that. Of course, as we know, dogs can be trained to look after a house, and soldiers in both old and modern t 7 have u 8 geese to giv
10、e warning(警报)by m 9 a lot of noise when an enemy comes near. And also it may be possible to train animals to work in families or f 10 .1. instead 2. quite 3. gives 4.or 5. different 6. for 7. times 8. used 9. making 10. factories【解析】本篇短文的首句,用一个疑问句来提出了“动物可以为人类工作?”,说明本篇文章将围绕此问题展开,而且时态为现在时。1.通过本句句意理解,“
11、科学家认为有一天动物可以被训练,然后做一些简单的工作”,意思与文章首句呼应,所以是代替人们做简单的工作,填insteadof,表示代替。2.本空可以使用语法上的技巧。如果本空忽略不看的话,句子仍然是成立的,说明填的单词词形不会是名词、动词或形容词,所以只能填副词来修饰skillful,那么“非常”可以用quite来表示,因此填quite。3.本空应该填动词,当动物做好表演时,训练者会给动物一些奖励,所以填gives。4.本题很好理解,要么给动物一些糖,要么就给水果,填or,表示选择性。5.通过上文可以得知,现在大象、猴子、狗和其他动物都被训练做了许多事情,所以动物的种类是多种多样的,空格前的m
12、any也提示了不同种类的,所以填different。6.本题很好理解,作为的奖励,用介词for。7.本题考察的是词组的运用,表示在以前和现在,填times,表示时代。8.在以前和现在,士兵们都用鹅来发警报,使用某物,填use,前面有have表示现在完成时,因此填used。9.本题考察的是词组的固定搭配,通过让鹅制造噪音来提醒士兵们有敌人靠近了,词组是makenoise,前面有介词by,所以填making。10.本题的逻辑词是or,表示选择性,说明本空也是一个表示地点的词,并且同样是由介词in引导,所以不能填farm(onthe farms)而且应该和families呼应,要用复数形式,填fac
13、tories。Passage 3 In recent years, playing kite-board seems to become more and more popular in Alaska in America. It is a new and old game. The game has w 1 the interest of many young people. The game is interesting but a little d 2 . One needs to play it very c 3 . A kite-board is in fact a skateboa
14、rd(滑雪板)drawn(拉)by a few big flying kites. The old game was p 4 by some young people in Holland and Spain as e 5 as the last century. Since the board was hard to control, f 6 people dared(敢)to play it. With the development of the design of kite and skateboard, many people can l 7 how to play it. A ki
15、te board may go as f 8 as about 50 kilometers an hour. If you havent had any practice, youd better not play it. It is not s 9 . It is said that the game can exercise not only your b 10 but also the sensitivity of your brain(大脑的敏捷).1. won 2.difficult/dangerous 3. carefully 4. played 5.early 6. few 7.
16、learn 8. fast 9. safe 10. body【解析】通过本文第一句,可以得知文章的中心主体是 kite-board(风筝板,冲浪运动的一种,可以借助风力飞上天)。1. 通过文章首句,可以得知近些年风筝板越来越流行,既然如此流行,必定会让年轻人产生浓厚的兴趣,空1所在的句子的兴趣用了interest名词形式,说明要用一个动词来表示出“引起、得到”的意思,那么很容易想到“赢得某人的兴趣”,用win,前面有has是现在完成时,所以win改成won。2. 空2的关键点在于逻辑词but,but表示前后意思的转折,“风筝板很有趣,但是也很*”,那么和“有趣”相对的就是“危险”或者“困难”,
17、所以dangerous或difficult皆可。3. 第一段最后一句是前面一句的延伸,如果空2填出来,空3就不成问题,正是因为这项运动很危险,所以玩的时候必须要非常小心仔细,填carefully。4. 文章首句就有playing kite-board,提示出空4应该是play的被动语态,填played。5. 本题考察的是asas的结构,当中填形容词或者副词的原级,关键点在结构后的last century,既然已经是上个世纪,不难想出应该是“和上世纪一样早”,所以填early。6. 本局先有Since引导出了一个原因,“因为风筝板非常难以控制”,而导致“结果就是很少有人敢玩”,所以填few。7.
18、 本题难度不大,是“许多人们可以学习如何去玩”,所以填learn。8. 本题的关键在于空格后的50 kilometers an hour(每小时50公里),不难得知这是一个速度,所以是和这速度一样快,所以填fast。9. 本题是逻辑题,通过前半句可以得知“如果没有练习,最好不要玩”,后半句就是解释为什么不要去玩,因为不是很安全,所以填safe。10. 通过整篇文章,我们对风筝板的运动有了一个大概的了解,它可以让人们得到锻炼,所以是锻炼身体,因此填body。Passage 4 British Milkman Steve Leech saved some shops and flats with
19、milk and won a National Bravery Award(国家勇敢奖). Leech, 35 years old, said that when he was sending out milk as u 1 along Pine Street, he s 2 heard a loud, strange sound behind him and then he saw smoke coming out of a shop in Cornwall, southern England. “That must be a fire, I t 3 ” Leech said. “Then
20、I quickly d 4 to do something. So I p 5 the door in and then I s 6 for the people inside. Then I started pouring milk e 7 . ” He used 320 pints of milk to stop the fire. When firefighters r 8 the shop, the fire was under control. Leech helped save the l 9 of eight people in the flats above the shops
21、.“It was hard work o 10 all those bottles. But it was even harder trying to tell my boss where all the milk had gone,” Leech said jokingly.1.usual 2.suddenly 3.thought 4. decided 5. pushed 6.shouted 7. everywhere 8. reached 9.lives 10. opening【解析】文章首句已经点明了主要内容:Leech用牛奶救了好多家商店和公寓,所以赢得了国家勇敢奖。因此,不难想出,本
22、篇文章是记叙文,主要叙述了他如何得到奖项的经过,所以也可以确定动词形式为过去时。1. 本题考察的是固定词组的搭配,“和往常一样”,是as usual。2. 本句话说的是“当他和往常一样送牛奶的时候,听见了一声巨响”,那么可以肯定,在空2未填词的情况下,句子仍然成立,所以首先可以确定填的词是一个副词。通过自己的设身处地的想法,在没有任何征兆的情况下,听到一声巨响肯定非常突然,所以填其副词形式,suddenly。3. 本题有一定的英语知识融在其中,首先空3不难,可以想出是“我认为这是一个火灾”,确定词为think。通常在英语中I think可以放在句首,也可以放在句末(前面加逗号),这里的“我想”
23、已经是过去发生的事情,所以填thought。4. 空4所在的句子也是当时Leech做的事情,通过推断,当他看到火灾之后,肯定会做一些事情,而且非常坚定,所以用decided。5. 本空的关键在于介词in,对象又是door,所以马上可以想到推门进入,所以填pushed。6. 本空是难点,通过上下文可以得知,Leech推门进入之后,并没有直接救人或者搜索人的情况,而是直接开始扑火,所以不能填searched。通过常识,推门进入后应该首先确定是否有人,所以要通过大喊来确定,因此本空填shouted。7. 本题不难,Leech开始用牛奶灭火,倒得到处都是,所以填everywhere。8. 本句出现了f
24、irefighters消防员,那么就是当他们赶到现场的时候,火势已经得到了控制,因此填reached。9. 通过本句得知,在商店的上面几层有8人,Leech救了他们的生命,life为可数名词,所以这里填复数形式lives。10. 本句的句型是一个难点,因为不是所学的it is. to do 的结构,但是通过后句的itwas even harder trying.可以得知,本空的动词是doing形式,因为牛奶瓶上有盖子,所以打开盖子是非常困难的,所以填opening。Passage 5 April Fools Day is on April 1st. People can play j 1 on
25、 others on this special d 2 . If you succeed, you usually laugh and say “April Fool!” The person who has been fooled by you l 3 too, and he will never be angry with you. Mothers Day is on the second Sunday of May. Its a day to t 4 mothers. On that day mothers usually receive flowers and cards from t
26、heir children. Fathers and children do the housework so that mothers can have a r 5 . Easter Day falls on the first Sunday after the full moon which is on or after March 21st. Its also called Easter Sunday. It is said that on that day Jesus Christ comes back to l 6 . Many people go to church and chi
27、ldren often get p 7 such as toy rabbits. Thanksgiving Day is on the fourth Thursday in November. Its a day when people give thanks for the good things in life. Usually families all get t8 and have a big dinner. Christmas Day comes on D 9 25th. Its the most important festival in a year. The beautiful
28、 things can be s 10 everywhere. People exchange gifts, send Christmas cards and visit friends. 1. jokes 2. day 3. laughs 4. thank 5. rest 6. life 7. presents 8. together 9. December 10. seen【解析】本文叙述了5个外国的节日,即每段为一个主题,段与段之间没有联系。1. 空1不难,愚人节怎么愚人呢?就是开别人的玩笑,而且不止一个玩笑,所以是joke的复数形式,填jokes。2. 前面用了介词on,也就是说要加具
29、体某一天,后面用了this special来修饰了愚人节,因此填day。3. 空3难在形式。不难看出,空3应该填一个动词,但是是什么形式呢?仔细分析句子会发现,who has been fooled by you是一个定语从句修饰先行词the person,解释为“那个被你愚弄的人”,因此主语是the person,仍然是单数形式。空3后出现了too,说明此空的答案已经出现,前一句当中的laugh提示此空应该也填laugh,综合主语形式,本空填laughs。4. 本段提到了母亲节。既然是母亲节,那一天我们应该是感谢母亲,所以填thank。5. 空5所在句子的前半句已经提到,“母亲节那天父亲和孩
30、子会做些家务”,那么这样的结果就是妈妈们可以好好休息一下,所以是固定词组搭配,have a rest。6. 本段提到了复活节,若熟悉外国文化的话,空6便能填出。复活节是纪念耶稣基督在十字架受刑后复活的节日。既然是纪念他复活,所以他会回到现实生活中来,因此填life。7. 本空的关键提示在于children和such as toy rabbits,举的例子是玩具兔子,因此不难想出这些都是给孩子们的礼物,而且toy rabbits是复数形式,所以礼物也是复数,填presents。8. 本段说的是感恩节。通常在感恩节,外国家庭会聚在一起吃大火鸡晚饭,也是家庭团聚的日子,而且空8后的a big din
31、ner也提示了这必须是很多人聚在一起吃的饭,因此填together。9. 本段说的是圣诞节。空9考的便是圣诞节的时间,是每年的12月25日,所以填December。10. 本空不难,说的是“好多漂亮的东西到处都能看见”,而且是被动形式,所以填seen。Passage 6 Mr King taught English in a middle school. He was very b 1 all the time and couldnt do some r 2 So he left the school and opened a book shop in the c 3 of the town.
32、 It wasnt big enough but all the books were nice and most people liked to buy some there. When the shop was c 4 he could read at home. He knew a lot and the learned(有学问的)people were glad to make f 5 with him. It was Sunday and it was cold outside. Mr King was very busy. At nine in the evening all th
33、e buyers left e_6a girl. She was dressed up and waited for s 7 there. Standing by the shelves, she looked over the books one after a 8 It made them in a fearful mess(凌乱不堪). Mr King came up to her and asked, “Excuse me, madam. What can I do for you?” “Your books are all dull,” said the girl, “I want

He t 10 out a cookbook and said, “Here you are, madam.”1. busy 2.reading 3.center 4.closed 5.friends 6.except 7.someone/somebody 8.another 9.delicious 10. took【解析】本篇文章主要说了Mr King的书店遇到的一个故事,记叙文形式。1. 空1的关键词在于couldnt,而且通过文章可以发现他最终离开了学校,所以可以推出他很忙,填busy。2. 空2的关键词
35、在于后句,opened a book shop,所以说明他很喜欢读书,填reading。3. 空3的关键词在于town,既然是城镇,肯定说的是书店在城镇中的方位,所以填center。4. 空4为理解题,“他可以在家里看书”说明当时书店已经结束营业了,所以填形容词closed(解释为关闭的),close作为形容词时解释为靠近的、亲密的。5. 本题考察固定词组,与某人交朋友,填friends。6. 本题有难度。关键在于弄清楚all the buyers和a girl之间的关系。通过后文可得知,所有人都走了,只有一个小女孩还在店里,所以填except,表示为除了一个小女孩。7. 固定搭配。wait
36、for后加某人或者某物,结合文章,更贴切的应该是等待某人,因此填somebody或someone都可。8. 固定搭配。one after another表示一个又一个,这里解释为一本又一本的书。9. 本题较难。本题的关键并不是Mr King所说的Thats easy.,Thats easy解释为(做什么事情)很简单,而不是说这本书很简单,因此空格不填difficult。本题的关键在于前文出现的dull(枯燥)后面的cookbook,既然是一本烹饪的书,关于食物的形容词,只能用delicious,除了解释为美味的,还可以解释为有趣的。10. 固定词组搭配,拿出一本书的词组为take out a
37、book,这里用过去时,改成took。Passage 7 Once Effendi had a joke with the Prime Minister(首相). He said the Minister w 1 die the next day. The next day, the Minister really f 2 off the horse and died. When the king h 3 of this, he got angry and sent his men to c 4 Effendi at once. W 5 Effendi came, the king shout
38、ed a 6 “Effendi, since you knew when my minister would die, you must also know the date of your own death. Say it out, or youll die today.” Effendi l 7 at the king and answered, “But how can I know? Ill die two days e 8 than you.” The king was a 9 that he would die if he killed Effendi. He thought h

So he l 10 him go.1. would 2. fell 3. heard 4. catch 5. when 6. angrily 7. looked 8.earlier 9. afraid 10. let【解析】本文主要叙述了Effedndi开玩笑的事情,所以整个文章处于过去的基调。1. 本题考察的是时态,因为是过去发生的事情,而时间状语又是the next day,所以用过去将来时,填would。2. 本题考察的是词组,宾语是马,那么推断出词组是从马上摔下来,因此填fell。3.
40、 本题考察词组搭配,解释为听说了某事,为heard of。4. 当国王听说了这件事情之后,他非常生气,所以要抓住他,因此填catch。5. 本题不难,解释为当Effendil来的时候,所以填when。6. 本题的提示在第一段的got angry,已经说明了当时国王的心情,所以这里也要表示生气的意思,放在动词shouted之后,用副词形式,填angrily。7. 本题考察固定词组搭配,Effendi看着国王,所以填looked。8. 本题的关键在于than,说明肯定要用比较级,通过文意可以得知,Effendi说他比国王早死两天,因此填earlier。9. 本题的提示在后句,he thought
41、he must keep Effendi alive as long ashe could,从本句可以看出,国王为了不让自己死去,所以要让Effendi活着,表现出国王的害怕,所以填afraid。10. 本题不难,作为文章的结局,很明显能想到,国王为了自己不早死,所以放他走了,填let。Passage 8 Roy Trenton drove a taxi before. A short while ago, however, he b 1 a bus-driver and he feels no sorry about it. He was finding his new work far m
42、ore i 2 . When he was driving along Catford Street recently, he saw two thieves r 3 out of a shop and run towards a waiting car. One of them was carrying a bag f 4 of money. Roy acted quickly and drove the bus straight to the thieves. The one w 5 the money got so afraid that he dropped the bag. As t

44、2.interesting 3. run 4.full 5. with 6.away 7. back 8.telephoned 9. easy 10. caught【解析】本文主要叙述了Roy Trenton用公交车抓贼的事情,整个文章处于过去的基调而且连贯性强。1. 本文首句说明了Roy Trenton的身份,他曾经是出租车司机,但是现在他是一名公交车司机,所以谓语动词表示成为的词,是become,这里填过去时became。2. 本文的提示在前句he feels no sorry about it,说明他转业了之后并不后悔,非常喜欢他的新工作。空2前的far提示了后面肯定填比较级,more也
45、提示了这是一个多音节单词,很容易想到interesting。3. 本题的提示在and之后,因为and连接前后两个并列成分,所以动词应该是一致的,是run,而且从一个商店跑出的动作持续时间很短,所以可以用see sb. do sth.的结构表示看见某人做某事的全程,所以填run。4. 本题考察固定词组搭配,一个包和钱之间的关系应该是塞满钱的包,of提示了“充满的”词组是full of,因此填full。5. 本题考察介词用法,因为后文出现了位于动词got,因此肯定表示为“带着钱的那个贼”,表示“带着、和一起”的介词是with。6. 本题考察的是固定词组搭配,两个贼想要开车逃离,词组是get away,因此填away。7. 词组drive into表示为“打入、撞入”,所以肯定是撞击了汽车的某个部位,b打头的部位很容易
