25、 of work. 四、1 1.D根据第一段中的“Unlike the longest flight in the world,which just began transporting passengers in 2018,the Trans-Siberian Railway started its business in 1916.”可知,世界上最长的航班 2018 年才开始运送乘客,但西伯利 亚大铁路在 1916 年开始运营。通过对比突出了西伯利亚大铁路历史的悠久。故选 D 项。 2 2.B根据第二段中的“But you certainly can take the fill journ
26、ey non- stop.If you do,the trip will take about 144 hourssix full days!”可知,如 果中间不下车,整个旅行要花整整六天的时间。故选 B 项。 3 3.D本文介绍了西伯利亚大铁路,也介绍了订票以及游玩方式,所以这最有可能来自旅 游杂志。故选 D 项。 五、1 1.C根据下文的 them 并结合常识可知,“我”的父母让“我”看汉字卡片。 2 2.D根据上下文语境可知,作者因为不愿意学汉字,就把汉字卡片推开了。故选 D 项。 3 3.A面对“我”的拒绝,妈妈认为“我”还没做好准备,等“我”准备好了自然会学。 此处表示时间,因此选
27、A 项。 4 4.C此处表示那个时刻从没到来,用 time 与上文的 when 呼应。 5 5.D因为“我”听不懂叔叔的话,所以“我”只是困惑地盯着他。 6 6.B根据下文的“You cant even buy a fish in Chinatown.”可知,此处表示 “我”叔叔笑话“我”。 7 7.A根据下文提到作者去买鱼可知,此处表示“我”可以立刻把鱼买回来。故选 A 项。 8 8.B此处表示“我”请求妈妈允许我出去买鱼。故选 B 项。 9 9.A结合常识,妈妈让“我”记住买新鲜的鱼,“我”怕忘了,所以就重复了妈妈的话。 1010.B此处表示卖鱼的货摊,stand 符合语境。 1111.D
28、根据下文的“turned to serve the next customer”可知摊主没有理“我”。 1212.C根据语境可知,“我”后面的人因为不耐烦而嘲笑“我”。此处用 with 表示原 因。 1313.A此处表示时间一秒一秒地过去。 1414.A此处表示“我”的恼怒迫使“我”大声喊出来。 1515.D人群爆发出一阵笑声,作者意识到自己说错了,因此他的脸变红了。 1616.C结合上文以及下文的“except for the $20 bill I held tightly in my pocket”可知,“我”没买到鱼,所以只好空手跑回家。 1717.B此处表示和中国人在一起“我”应该感到很自在。 1818.D此处表示作者有时也会嘲笑自己买鱼的那件事。 1919.C但是最终作者成了笑柄。the jokes on sb 意思是“开玩笑开到某人自己身 上了”。 2020.B根据后文的“fading away”的提示可知选 lost“失去的”。 六、1 1.but2 2.introduced3 3.dangerous4 4.themselves5 5.shaking6 6.stronger 7 7.the8 8.whom/who9 9.slightly1010.means
