24、she nor her friends5.more flexible6.obvious tension7.in disguise三、1.B根据第一段中的“As you try to find your way out of that bad situation,you shouldtry to remind yourself that there is still a reason to be grateful.”可知作者的建议是,即使面临困境,我们也要有感恩之心。2.D根据第二段中的“But complaining about them so much only makes us blind
25、 about thefact that there are the miracles that happen around us every day.”可知,作者认为,一味地抱怨会让我们忽视生活中美好的东西。3.B通读本段可知,作者告诉我们要知足常乐。因此选 B项。4.C本文告诉我们,我们要学会感恩,知足常乐,做一个快乐的人。四、1.C由下一句中的“They feared the violent storms.”和本段最后一句可知,人们担心暴风雨,大部分人不愿意到他的农场工作。2.B表达“席卷海面的”暴风雨应用介词 across。3.C此处指招聘工作人员的农场主(farmer)会见那些应聘工作
26、的人,其他几项均不合句意。worker “工人”;applicant “申请人员”;reporter “记者”。4.A此处表示他得到的是一连串的拒绝。动词 receive 的含义是“得到;接待”;buy“买”;sell“卖”;bring“带来”。由句意可知 A项正确。5.Awell 可表示程度“很,非常”,可以和介词短语连用,此处表示“远远超过了中年”。6.A根据第六段中的“I have told you that I can sleep when the wind blows.”可以得出答案。7.B到最后一段农场主才明白他所雇用的这个人所说的话的含义,因此此处应选puzzled(迷惑的)。8
27、.C因为这个人是来应聘的,因此此处是“雇用”。fire 表示“解雇”;scold“责备”;hire“雇用”;order“订购;命令”。9.B由上文的“busy from dawn to dusk”可推知,农场主对此人很满意。disappointed “失望的”;satisfied “满意的”;excited “激动的”;tired “疲惫的”。10.A表示“风刮得大”,可用副词 hard但不能用 hardly 来形容;表示“风刮得大”也可以用blow loudly。11.Ajump表示“跳起来”,可以表现出农场主的紧张和动作的迅速。而 rise,get 和 fall 与后面的 rushed 不
28、吻合。12.B外面在刮大风时,农场主让他的雇员起床。13.Dtie“捆,绑,系”,此处用 tie表示“捆绑好东西,以免被风吹走”,其他选项与句意不符。let “让”;put “放置”;lay “放置;产卵;下蛋”。14.A根据下面这个雇工所说的话可知,他只是“翻个身”,并没有“起床”,应用 roll over。15.D由下文他匆忙跑到外面可知,农场主并没有当场解雇这名雇员。由此知,此处表示转折,应用 instead。16.C当看到一切安排就绪时,农场主的感觉应是“意外,惊奇”。A、B 两项分别意为“预料”“想象”,显然与上下文不吻合;D项意为“难过”,句意不通。17.D根据上句意思可知此处表示
29、“没有东西会被风吹走”,A、B、C三项显然不对。18.D此处表示“明白了雇工的意思”,what 充当 meant 的宾语。which“哪一个”,不合句意;that在宾语从句中只起引导词的作用,不充当成分;how是副词,做状语。19.A根据上文这名雇工之所以能够睡得踏实是因为他提前做好了准备,本空意为“做好准备”,而不是“结束”,“下定决心”或“鼓励”。20.D根据句意“做好一切准备,就没有什么可担忧或害怕的”,fear “担心,害怕”,符合句意,其他选项与句意不符。beat “击打,击败”;win “获胜,赢得”;desire “渴望,想要”。五、1.writer2.whose3.restri
