试题分析
1.B解析:从下文可知，我在这家水果店里当助手。waiter是“服务员”，一般用于酒店旅社等场所。operator是“操作者”，secretary是“秘书”，更不合语境。
2.A
解析:从文意看，该水果店生意不错。
3.D
解析:but此处表并列关系，但有转折含义，意思是“水果店顾客大多数是家庭主妇，还有一些固定客源”。
4.B
解析:从语境看，该店老板“知道”每个顾客的名字。
5.C
解析:make，let和keep后一般均不能接不定式符号to，getsbtodosth意为“让某一个闲谈者”。
14.C
解析:用“语言”闲谈，应该用words，如“haveawordwithsb”，意思是“和某人讲话”，“havewordswith

解析:takelessons意为“授课、学习……”。give...alesson意思是“吸取教训，teachlessons18.C
解析:everonthatday指“就在那一天”。even意为“即使”still意思是“仍然”，only则意为“仅仅……”，均不合语境。19.B

1.本题选D
解析:simply意为“简单地，仅仅”，really意为“真正地”，merely意思是“仅者除发送照片或图片外，还向本国电视传媒讲述战地资讯及故事，因此选stories。
9.本题选B
解析:成为驻外记者是每个记者的“梦想”。
10.本题选D
解析:此句中where用来引导表语从句，意思是“那就是每个记者的兴奋之处”。
11.本题选D
解析:evenif意思是“即使…”，即“当机会来临时，即使是战争，你也会去的”。
12.本题选A
解析:从下文看，在战场上当记者，总有“恐惧”的时刻。
13.本题选C
解析:into指“进入”，around指“在…周围”，past指“经过，越过”，through则是“通过，穿过”。本句中提到子弹从耳边飞过，自然该用past。
14.本题选B
解析:goes在本句中指“消失，消散”，即这种感觉一会儿就过去了。
15.本题选A
解析:beaway指“离开”，beout指“在外面”，behome则表达有误。bethere意为“在那儿”。
16.本题选C
解析:综合上下文可知，本句意为“我们没有任何人相信我们会死的”，因此用die。
17.本题选D
解析:carry指“带在一起”，本句意为“在出征途中把护身符带在一起”。
18.本题选B
解析:manytimes意为“多次”，C项与everytime重复，A、D两项为否定，不合语境。
19.本题选C
解析:即“我许诺我不再当记者了”。
20.本题选B
解析:综合上文可知，当作者处于危险时总是讫求上天保佑，可上帝都持乐观态度，相信你是安全的。故用laughing。

D.laugh
解析:本题要根据特定语境确认短文讨论的话题中心并根据语句结构找出相应的文，这里要表示“大人中没有一个人有曾经吃过这种意大利面食的经历”，所以B选项为正确选项，不是热衷于，也不是感兴趣，因此其他选项可以被排除。
7.D
解析:本题要根据特定语境选择恰当的名词。根据此时的语境，这里要表达“我们笑着争论这种面条的吃法”，所以D选项为正确选项。
8.D
解析:本题要根据特定语境选择恰当的副词。该处想表示“大家普遍采用吃法”，表示社会认同的方法，而不是官方认同，所以正确选项为D。
9.C
解析:本题要根据特定语境判断选择恰当的副词选项。该处要表示“此时，我突然想把这件事写下来”，所以正确答案为C。
10.B
解析:本题要根据特定语境选择恰当的动词选项。putitdown在这里表示“写；记下”，同上文的“writeaboutit”。正确答案为B。
11.D
解析:本题要根据特定语境选择恰当的名词选项。根据上下文，作者要表达“我想自己享受这份快乐”(formyownjoy)，而不是故事，所以选择D为最佳选项。
12.C
解析:本题要根据行文逻辑选择恰当的关联用语。这里表示“至于某人”，所以C为正确答案。
13.A
解析:本题测试根据特定语境对句式结构的掌握能力。前面说到“whenIfinishedit不要喜形于色”，所以选择D为正确选项。
19.B
解析:本题要根据语境来选择恰当的关联词语。上文中“我十分快乐”是因为我的作文可以给别人带来快乐。故B为正确选项。
20.D
解析:本题要根据行文逻辑来选择固定的动词短语搭配。从上文可看出，这里要表示“让人们快乐”，因此用laugh。

1.B
解析:考查动词短语的固定搭配“takesthforexampie”。
2.C
解析:usedtosee(过去经常看见)，这里的used呼应上一句中提到的becomeusedto。
3.A
解析:惯用法，如“Whatis／wastheweatherlike”对天气提问习惯用what。
4.D
解析:从下句“sheworeheavyclothesandapairofwoolengloves”可知最符合实际情9.B
解析:四个选项均是动词。respect尊敬；miss想念；praise赞扬；admire钦佩、羡慕。15.A
解析:四个选项均是副词。regularly有规律地；actually实际上；hardly几乎不；probably可能。由everymorning可知应是A。16.C
解析:四个选项均是形容词。common普通的、常见的；pleasant令人愉快的、舒适的；important重要的；faithfd忠实的。从下
句“Theyaddweighttooursenseofplaceandbelonging.”(他们使我们对所处的空间和所拥有的东西有更好的认识。)可知这些人是我们眼中“重要的”标志者。答案为C。
17.D
解析:choice选择；knowledge知识；decision决定；sense感觉、感官。如:senseofheating听觉；senseofsight视觉等。
18.B
解析:四个选项均是连词，这里作者提出一种假设，因此答案是B。
19.C
解析:该句意为“当步行上街时，我们靠经过某一建筑物来标志我们所在的位置。
20.A解折；作者所列举的是几类人，故最佳选项是wnnamed.

1.A.as
B.after
D.before
解析:空格前有long可排除A、C两项，搭配不对。根据上文的beingearly可以判断出大学的录取招收工作应在学生中学毕业之前。D项正确。
2.A.courses
B.disciplines
C.majors
D.subjects
解析:修具体的课程，应为ourse。discipline和subject都是极为正式的“学科”和“科目”，m却or为“专业”，所以B、C、D三项均排除。
3.A.deeply
B.widely
C.well
解析:测试的目的是看学生对上大学准备得有多好，有多充分；故选C.well.
4.A.fulfil
B.finish
C.complete
D.accomplish
解析:此处暗示“填表”，C正确。A、D两项通常用于抽象的概念。B项强调动作的结果，表示“完成了某事”。
5.A.attend
B.participate
C.study
D.belong
解析:句意为“……他们希望上(进入)的大学”，attendtheuniversity正确。B、C、D三词搭合句意，D项搭配不符。

D.pass
解析:学生在……还需takeoneortwosteps表示“还需做一、两件事情”。

D.sitting
解析:根据句意分析，此处应为“开始，着手与习”。gettingtowork正确。
13.A.offer
C.grant
D.supply
解析:根据句意推断，此处暗指“提供”，B、C两项不合题意，首先先排除。supply通常用于提供实物也就是提供具体的、实在的东西。故A正确。
14.A.For
B.Among
C.In
D.On
解析:应选择介词in，表示“在这些项目中。”
15.A.processesB.procedures
C.projects
D.provisions
解析:通过这些项目，学生可以了解如何报到、注册，如何咨询。根据句意分析，此处应指“程序”，了解这些程序，为日后的大学生活和准备。所以B正确。

1.A.car
B.cart
C.ship
D.plane
5.A.preparation
C.decision
D.asuggestion
解析:词语搭配及意义辨析。preparation的常见用法有inpreparationfor...／withoutpreparation／makepreparations(for...)等；提出建议用动词give；decision为可数名词；makeasuggestion意为“提出建议”，suggestion之后的同位语从句中动词用的是虚拟语气，谓语动词为should+动词原形(buy)。
6.A.keep
C.hold
D.put
解析:词语辨析和后文提示。第三段有一句“...themerchantsolditandkeptthemoney.”此处kept与本题正确答案A意义相同，是“保管，保存”之意。
B.since
C.until
8.A.slowly
B.highly
C.high
D.low
解析:词语辨析。此处意义为价格上涨，故先排除A、D；high与highly为一组同根副词，high通常表示位置的“高”，而hightly通常表示抽象、引申意义的“高”，如thinkhighlyof“高度评价”等。
9.A.former
B.honest
C.real
D.dishonest
解析:上下文联系。从第四段第一句“Thecaptain
knewthathisfriendwas
lies...”可以看出。
10.A.talking
B.making
C.saying
D.telling
解析:固定用法。
11.A.calm
B.friendly
C.quiet
D.angry
解析:根据情节推理判断，得知对方撒谎，一般情况下，人们的反应是生气，但此空之前有转近连词but，意为船长克制情绪，而是和刚才一样，看不出他激动、生气的样子。
12.A.about
C.with
解析:此处with短语作定语，意为“对……来说”。
13.A.next
B.another
C.theother
D.manya
解析:词语用法辨析。
14.A.sorry
B.glad
C.afraid
D.clear
解析:词语辨析及上下文联系。sorry意为做错了事向别人道歉，第三段最后一句也有类似表达“hisfriendtoldhimthathewasverysorry...”。
15.A.before
C.during
D.in
B.frightened
D.puzzled
解析:词语辨析及上下文联系。此题易误选angry。根据后文“Andratscannoteatiron.”以及船长的解释可以看出，最好选puzzled“迷惑不解的”.
17.A.lawyer
B.judge
C.manager
D.captain
解析:从常识角度和后文提示可以判断。
18.A.offer
B.send
D.lend
解析:词语辨析
19.A.kept
B.sold
C.bought
D.stole
解析:上下文联系。从第三段“sothemerchantsolditandkeptthemoney”可以看出。
20.A.bring
B.fetch
C.borrow
D.carry
析:词语辨析。bring表示带给、带出(带到讲话者处):fetch表示的动作是双程的，意为“去

解析:根据上下文，可知是工程师和两个警察来了。
18.A.reached
B.arrived
D.left
解析:几乎在同时，消防员也到了。reach和arrive都可以表示“到达”，但reach是及物动词，必须带宾语，而arrive是不及物动词。

C.passed
D.stayed
20.A.spirits
B.health

1.A.let
B.allowed
C.persuaded
D.advised
解析:此题考查根据上下文语境选择恰当动词的能力。动词allow的搭配是allowsb.todo，
4.A.wrote
B.drew
C.painted
D.carved
解析:从上下文判断，此处应当用panited，而非wrote，carved或drew.
5.A.bymyself
B.withmyparents
C.insilence
D.beyondtouch
解析:从句中completay一词，可猜出“我”是整天一个人在楼上画画的。从上下文还可看出，我现在的心情好了许多，因而不一定会“insilent”。

C.growing
D.improving
7.A.toremember
B.toputdown
C.toforget
D.todealwith
解析:从上一句Ifoundawaytobehappyagain可判断“我有了使自己忘记那些不开心的事情的办法。”所以应选C。

D.Atall
解析:总之，(aboveall)我进入了一种“forgetmyself”的境地。

C.toplaywith
D.togoshopping

B.thepaint

子，没有手，只好用脚趾夹住笔来画画。
13.A.close
B.with
C.behind
解析:因为行动不方便，所以颜料应当是放在我的周围，aroundme.close要用closetome；而behind则不妥。

B.steady

解析:此题考查根据上下文语境选择恰当关系代词的能力，考查定语从句。从句子I
hadafeelingof
purejoywhileIpainted，afeelingIhadneverexpertencedbeforeand55(seemedalmosttoliftmeabovemyself可看出此处应该用which引导的定语从句修饰feelig.whatever和what不用于引导定语从句。此定语从句中缺少主语，故不能用withwhich.)
