PartⅡ Reading Comprehension(45 points, 50 minutes)
Directions: There are 6 passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C)and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage 1
Question 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:
Censorship(审查制度)is for the good of society as a whole.Imagine what chaos there would be if we lived in a society without laws.Like the law, censorship contributes to the common good.Some people think that it is disgraceful that a censor should interfere with works of art.Who is this person, they say, to ban this great book or cut that great film? No one can set himself up as a superior being.But we must remember two things.Firstly, where genuine works of art are concerned, modern censors are extremely liberal in their views----often far more liberal than a large section of the public.Artistic merit is something which censors clearly recognize.And secondly, we must bear in mind that the great proportion of books, plays and films which come before the censor are very far from being “works of art”.When discussing censorship, therefore, we should not confine our attention to great masterpieces, but should consider the vast numbers of publications and films which make up the bulk(大部分)of the entertainment industry.When censorship laws are relaxed, dishonest people are given a licence to produce virtually anything in the name of “art”.There is an increasing tendency to equate “artistic” with “pornographic”(色情的).So one of the great things that censorship does is to prevent certain people from making fat profits by corrupting the minds of others.Society would really be poorer if it deprived itself of the wise counsel and the restraining influence which a censor provides.51.A censor's duty is ____.A)to see there is no filthy content in publications or films
B)to ban books and cut films
C)to distinguish works of art from others
D)to make sure that no licence is given to dishonest people
52.Some people are against censorship for the reason that ____.A)censorship is not consistent with the ideals of democracy
B)censors prevent people from making profits
C)censors are conservative and cannot appreciate artistic merit
D)censorship limits the way people feel and think
53.When the writer says “to equate 'artistic' which 'pornographic', he means ____.A)there is no clear distinction between what is artistic and what is pornographic
B)masterpieces are sometimes offensive to decency
C)many pornographic works will be published in the name of art
D)artistic works and pornographic works have the same market value
54.According to the writer, a society free from censorship ____.A)would be poor materially
B)would expose its people to dangers of being corrupted
C)could not develop its entertainment industry
D)would allow only a small section of people to make profits
55.All the following are the writer's views except that ____.A)censors are fully qualified for their job
B)masterpieces even with pornographic content are still masterpieces
C)society will not do without censorship
D)many books, plays and films are not works of art
Passage 2 Question 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:
A few weeks ago I was talking to a school inspector in one of the more fashionable districts of Paris.She astonished me by saying that if she had young children today, she'd probably send them to a private school.She had devoted 25 years of her life to the ideal of free public education, she said, but the truth was the state system was in a mess.There are two main problems: State schools in France have to accept whatever teachers are assigned to them by the Ministry of Education.As my school inspector friend put it, ”one year a school may be excellent;three or four years later, half the teachers may be incapable!“ That is not very reassuring if you're a parent.Private schools can choose their own teachers.The other problem is discipline or, rather, the lack of it.Not long ago a school in Birmingham made headlines in Britain because the teachers were being terrorized by their pupils.In the desolate suburbs of low-cost apartment blocks, thrown together in the 1960s on the outskirts of most big French cities, such stories are commonplace.Vandalism(破坏他人财产的行为), drug-taking and extortion aren't limited to schools in poor areas either.A recent poll found that 88 per cent of French children rate as the biggest problem of their school lives the prevalence(流行, 猖獗)of factions and gangs which spend all their time fighting one another.Small wonder, then, that the private schools, with their emphasis on traditional values, are undergoing a new surge of popularity(despite disapproval from France's new socialist leaders), and competition to get into the best of them has now become intense.56.The French school inspector has long been a supporter of ____.A)compulsory education B)free private education C)private schools D)the state school system 57.The French state education system ____.A)does not guarantee the competence of teachers B)seems to have no serious difficulties C)is running smoothly D)promises to maintain high standards 58.Private schools in France today ____.A)are generally undergoing changes for the worse B)enjoy the prestige(声望)of becoming the place to send one's children to
C)have become victims of vandalism D)never hire teachers who stress traditional values 59.Lack of discipline among students is rampant in state schools ____.A)in the Paris slums, but not in other areas B)noticeably and solely in the poorer areas in French cities C)almost everywhere in France D)rather restricted to Birmingham 60.France children who wish to go to the best private schools can do so by ____.A)taking highly competitive examinations B)simply sending in applications C)joining factions and gangs D)drawing lots Part Ⅲ Cloze(10 points, 15 minutes)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C)and D).You should choose the One that the best fits into the passage.Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the cettre.Today vegetables, fish, fruit, meat and beer are canned in enormous quantities.Within three generations the 81 habits of millions have been revolutionized.Foods that were previously 82 may now be eaten at any time, and strange foods are 83 far from the countries where they are 84.The crops many farmers now produce often depend on the nearness of a canning factory.The first stage in the canning 85 is the preparation of the raw food.Diseased and waste portions are thrown 86;meat and fish are cleaned and trimmed;fruit and vegetables washed and graded for 87.The jobs are principally 88 by machine.The next stage, for vegetables only, is soak in very 89 or boiling water for a short time to remove air and 90 the vegetable.This makes 91 easier to pack into cans for sterilization(free from living germs).Some packing machines fill 92 to 400 cans a minute.Fruit, fish and meat are packed raw and cold into cans, and then all the air is removed.93 the cans are sealed, the pressure inside each can is only about half the pressure of the outside air.The sterilization process which follows the cans are subjected 94 steam or boiling water, with the temperature and time 95 according to the type of food.Cans of fruit, for example, 96 only 5-10 minutes in boiling water, 97 meat and fish are cooked at higher temperatures for 98 period.After sterilization, the cans are cooled quickly to 32 degree to prevent the contents 99 becoming too soft.The final stage before sending off to the grocer is labeling, and packing the tins into boxes.Nowadays, however, labeling is often printed on in 100 by the can-maker and no paper labels are then required.81.A)eat

2.B【句意】我的新眼镜花了我上副眼镜三倍的价钱。【解析】倍数表示法为:基数词 + times + as many/much as + 比较部分,由于本句比较的价钱是不可数名词,所以选择B选项为正确答案。
3.D【句意】当将军进来时,其中一个士兵在睡觉,这使得他非常生气。【解析】根据题干的意思,应选择过去进行时,而one of + 名词复数结构做主语要选谓语动词用单数的形式,所以选D。

Part II Reading Comprehension
21.D【解析】从第二段第一句可知作者认为拿走小女孩的书就像拿走小宝宝的糖果,这样的举动会伤害小女孩的情感,所以选择D。选项B:对小孩不会有任何影响,是父亲对女儿的想法,而不是作者的看法。22.D【解析】从第二段第一句的后半句可推断爸爸拿走了小女孩的两本书并把它们送给了罗伯特。所以选择D“爸爸做了他想做的事”即把书送给了罗伯特。23.C【解析】A、B、D均为小女孩送给陌生人书的理由,只有C是送书的结果,因此只有C选项可以表明小女孩对待她爸爸的态度。
24.C【解析】A、B、D选项所给的信息均未在原文体现。只有C所给信息“作为儿童心理
学家,他并不是很理解他女儿的心理。”与原文符合。
25.B【解析】此题综合全文可得出B“已所不欲,勿施于人”正确。其它选项意思分别为A“失败是成功之母”;C“先人后已”;D“万事开头难”。
26.C【解析】第一段作者举的例子,可以得出C“有时为了不伤害其他人的感情说谎是必须的”正确。其它选项的信息在文中没有明确出现。27.C【解析】从第二段作者举例可知女人更爱说“white lie”,即善意的谎言,而男人更有可能说一些严重的谎话。所以C选项“女人说谎时有较好的意图”符合原文。A选项说的太笼统,女人仅在说“white lie”时比男人擅长,而说“serious lie”则不及男人;B、D选项所给信息并未在文中出现。28.B【解析】“white lie”的意思是善意的谎言,从文中第二段女人说谎所举的例子也可以推断出B选项“带有善意所说的谎”为正确答案。
29.A【解析】第二段最后一句“政治家和商人尤其擅长说这种谎话,即可从这些谎言中赚钱或获利。”而A选项“他们或许可以从中赢得一些好处”与之相一致。30.B【解析】第三段第一句“对人们行为举止的研究表明:当人们说谎时,会以大量不起眼的、表面上不重要的方式改变自己的举止”为主题句,文章所得出的结论为B选项“从人们的一些行为举止,我们能够知道他们在说谎”,与主题句相一致。
31.D【解析】从第二段“他的研究显示,家里太有钱带来的问题与太缺钱带来的问题一样多。很明显,富有会带来一定的优势,„„但是重要的是家庭生活的质量,钱买不来爱。”可推断出“富裕家庭孩子的家庭生活质量不一定就高”,D选项符合题意。
32.A【解析】第二、三段作者说明了富裕家庭带给孩子的一些不足之处, 第四段作者列举了一些advantages及disadvantages to being rich,可见A选项“有钱既有优势也有不足之处”符合文中观点。B、C、D选项的信息与原文不一致。33.C【解析】从第四段“However, they will have a sense of isolation.”可以判断C正确。
34.C【解析】从文章最后一段中“So the first thing „ in money.”这一结论句可得出C“对于富有的父母,确定家庭的爱和财富一样富有是非常重要的”符合原文结论。
35.D【解析】作者在行文的最后得出结论:保证家人在爱和财富上同样富有是最重要的。Dr.Coles在《特权阶层》一书中的观点是:财富可以给人在很多方面带来优势,但最重要的是家庭生活质量。金钱买不来爱。因此,作者和Dr.Coles的观点一致。
36.C【解析】从第一段中的“But is it interfering „care of ?”可知与此信息相对应的C选项“上年纪的人宁愿独自生活,以便可以享受更多的自由。”正确。A、B、C选项所给信息与原文相悖,故错误。37.A【解析】从第一段最后一句话可知一些社会工作者认为把个人自由与老年人的健康与安全等同是危险的,从而可推断出A选项(他们认为“健康与安全比个人的自由更重要)符合题意。
38.A 【解析】尽管在第二段中出现了“The body is like„ older.”但从第一句主题句“Indeed, the old can be easily hurt or harmed.”和后面文中“But„”语气的转折可以分析出人的身体不能像汽车一样说换个零件就轻松地换掉,所以A选项正确。
39.B【解析】it是代词,代替前面的内容,在此句中替代than比较状语从句中的主语,所
以B选项“whether age is happy or unhappy”中whether引导的主语从句正确。40.C【解析】作者从老年人的“personal free”与“health, safety”入手论述“health, safety”是否重要,又进而分析老年人的健康、生命的延续无法同汽车更换零件一样简单,最终得出结论,对老年人真正重要的不是金钱或健康而是是否有能够快乐的能力,所以与此观点相符合的C选项正确。Part III Cloze
41.B【解析】考查固定搭配on the other hand另一方面。42.C【解析】present展现,介绍。用过去分词表示被动。
43.D【解析】词义辨析。affect指(在某方面)引起变化,影响,特别指在坏的方面产生的影响。指对身体、健康的影响常用affect;对思想、决定上的影响常用influence。effect作为名词时意为“效果,作用”,作动词时意为“产生,引起(=bring about);实现,完成”。
44.A 【解析】but表示转折,因为前半句是don’t recommend不建议,而后半句是do recommend强烈建议,因此but引出与前面相反的内容。otherwise否则;nevertheless尽管如此;然而。45.C【解析】考查固定搭配on a basis / on the basis of以„为基础;base:底部,基础(=function),基地;based是动词过去式、过去分词,basic是形容词。

第五篇:2012湖北学位英语考试最新模拟试题
Part I Reading Comprehension(30%)
Directions: There are three passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.What exactly is a lie? Is it anything we say which we know is untrue? Or is it something more than that? For example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you.You say “I wish I could help you but I’m short of money myself.” In fact, you are not short of money but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debt and you don’t want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this.Is this rally a lie?
Professor Jerald Jellison of the University of Southern California has made a scientific study of lying.(76)According to him, women are better liars than men, particularly when telling a “white lie”, such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it looks awful.However, this is only one side of the story.Other researchers say that men are more likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise which they have no intension of fulfilling.This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at: the lie from which the liar hopes to profit or gain in some way.Research has also been done into the way people’s behavior changes in a number of small, apparently unimportant ways when they lie.It has been found that if they are sitting down at the time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual.To the trained observer they are saying “I wish I were somewhere else now.” They also tend to touch certain parts of the face more often, in particular the nose.One explanation of this may be that lying causes a slight increase in blood pressure.The tip of the nose is very sensitive to such changes and the increased pressures make it itch.Another gesture which gives liars away is what the writer Desmond Morris in his book Manwatching calls “the mouth cover”.(77)He says there are several typical forms of this, such as covering part of the mouth with the fingers, touching the upper-lip or putting a finger of the hand at one side of the mouth.Such a gesture can be understood as an unconscious attempt on the part of the liar to stop himself or herself from lying.Of course, such gestures as rubbing the nose or covering the mouth, or moving about in a chair cannot be taken as proof that the speaker is lying.They simply tend to occur more frequently in this situation.It is not one gesture alone that gives the liar away but a whole number of things, and in particular the context in which the lie is told.1.According to the passage, a “white lie” seems to be a lie
A.that other people believe
B.that other people don’t believe
C.told in order to avoid offending someone
D.told in order to take advantage of someone
2.Research suggests that women
A.are better at telling less serious lies than men are
B.generally lie far more than men do
C.lie at parties more often than men do
D.often make promises they intend to break
3.Researchers find that when a person tells lies A.his blood pressure increases measurably B.he looks very serious C.he tends to make some small changes in his behavior
D.he uses his unconscious mind
4.One reason people sometimes rub their noses when they lie is that
A.they wish they were somewhere else
B.the nose is sensitive to physical changes caused by lying
C.they want to cover their mouths
D.they are trying to stop themselves from telling lies
5.The tone of this passage tells us that the writer
A.hates to lie
B.enjoys lying
C.often tells a lie
D.tries to analyze lying
Passage 2
Question 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.(78)Let children learn to judge their own work.A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking.He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use.Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s.In the same way, children learning to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught—to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle—compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes.But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself.We do it all for him.We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to.Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what his word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book.Let him correct his own papers.Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells that he can’t find the way to get the right answer.Let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.6.According to the passage, which of the following is the best way for children to learn things?
A.Listening to skilled people’s advice.B.Asking older people many questions.C.Making mistakes and having them corrected.D.Doing what other people do.7.The writer think teachers should NOT.A.give children correct answers B.allow children to make mistakes
C.point out children’s mistakes to them D.let children mark their own work
8.According to the writer, teachers in school should.A.allow children to learn from each other
B.point out children’s mistakes whenever found
C.correct children’s mistakes as soon as possible
D.give children more book knowledge
9.According to the passage, learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are.A.different from learning other skills B.the same as learning other skills
C.more important than other skills D.not really important skills
10.The title of this passage could probably be.A.Let Us Teachers Stop Work
B.Let Us Make Children Learn
C.Let Children Correct Their Exercises
D.Let Children Learn By Themselves
Passage 3
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:
(79)John had bought a packet of cigarettes just before we caught the train and he offered me one as we settled ourselves in our compartment.We were on our way back from a camping holiday;we had lived rough for over a fortnight and even a cigarette was a luxury at that moment.I felt in my pocket for a box of matches, but could not find any.“I haven’t got any either,” said John.Sitting opposite to us was a man whose face was hidden by a newspaper.“Excuse me, sir,” said John, leaning across.“Could you give me a light, please?”
The newspaper was lowered to reveal a rather elderly man with a stern face.“This is a no smoking compartment,” the man said.He indicated the notice near the window.We apologized and put away our unlit cigarettes.(80)The man went on, in a rather more kindly way, to warn us against the dangers of smoking.“I speak as a doctor,” he concluded, and after that he went back to reading his newspaper.When he got out a few stations later, he left his newspaper behind him.We picked it up, eager to find out what had happened while we were on holiday.“Just look at this,” remarked John, pointing to a photograph.“it’s the man who was sitting opposite us.” Underneath the photograph was an account of a lunatic(精神病者)who had recently escaped.It appeared that he liked to pretend to be a doctor.11.The friends had spent their holiday ______.A.on a boat B.in a tent C.on a farm D.with an aunt

Passage 1
一 文章总体结构分析
全篇围绕“谎言”这一主题展开叙述:第一段通过举例及疑问的方式探讨究竟什么才算是谎言;第二段介绍了南加州大学的Jerald Jellison教授做过一个关于说谎的科学研究的结论,即男人和女人说谎是不同的,而男人更可能说更严重的谎言;第三段则介绍了说谎时行为上的一些细微的改变;第四段主要讲述了说谎时“封嘴”这一具体行为;最后又补充说明以上举止并不能构成讲话者正在说谎的证据,而是一系列的东西,特别是说谎者所说的谎言本身。
二 试题具体分析
1.【答案】C 本题考查的是考生对细节的把握,答案对应于文章第一、二段。第一段中“you don’t want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this.”,第二段又用举例的方法解释了white lie的含义。这个例子就是“such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really think it looks awful.”
2.【答案】A 本题考查的也是考生对细节的把握,答案对应文章的第二段。该段比较了男人和女人说谎的不同,而且男人更可能说更严重的谎言。参见第二段中句子“Other researchers say that men are more likely to tell more serious lies,„„”这里的比较就是与前一句中女人撒谎相比。
3.【答案】C 本题考查的也是考生对细节的把握,答案对应于第三段第一句:Research has also been done into the way people’s behavior changes in a number of small, apparently unimportant ways when they lie.同样有研究侧重于当人们说谎时他们行为的一些细小的,明显的不重要的改变,很容易看出答案C与该句符合。
4.【答案】B 本题考查的也是考生对细节的把握,答案对应于第三段最后一句:The tip of the nose is very sensitive to such changes and the increased pressures make it itch.鼻尖对这样的变化非常敏感,血压的增加使得它发痒,即与B选项吻合。
5.【答案】D 此题考查的是考生对整篇短文的观点的理解。文章首先讲到男人女人说谎的不同,而后又分析说谎时人们行为方式的变化等等,所以说文章是在分析说谎。其他选项错误。
三 文章长难句分析与佳句赏析
1.In fact, you are not short of money but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debt and you don’t want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this.实际上,你并不缺钱,但是你的这位朋友却有欠钱不还的习惯而你又不想通过提醒他这点而伤害他的感情。句子结构分析:you are not short of„but your friend is in the habit of„and you don’t want to„by„;short of„缺乏„;in the habit of„养成„习惯;pay one`s deb还„的债;remind sb of„提醒某人使想起„。
2.He says there are several typical forms of this, such as covering part of the mouth with the fingers, touching the upper-lip or putting a finger of the hand at one side of the mouth.他说有几种动作形式,例如用手指掩一部分嘴,摸上嘴唇或者一个手指支在嘴角。句子结构分析:He says there are several typical forms of this, such as„;cover„with„用„遮盖。
四、核心词汇
short of„缺乏„;in the habit of„养成„习惯;pay one`s deb还„的债;remind sb of„
提醒某人使想起„;liar惯于说谎者;awful糟糕的;fulfill履行,实现,完成;sensitive敏感的,灵敏的;give„away出卖„;unconscious无意识的,不省人事;attempt尝试,努力,试图;rub擦,摩擦;context上下文;itch发痒;
五、全文翻译
谎言究竟是什么?是说一些我们知道不是真实的事情?还是甚于这些?例如,假设一个朋友向你借钱。你说“我希望能帮助你,但我现在自己也缺钱。”实际上,你并不缺钱,但是你的这位朋友却有欠钱不还的习惯而你又不想通过提醒他这点而伤害他的感情。这是一个真正的谎言吗?
南加州大学的Jerald Jellison教授做过一个关于说谎的科学研究。研究显示女人比男人更善于说谎,特别是说“善意的谎言”,例如在一个派对上一个女人称赞另一个女人的衣服而实际上她认为那衣服很难看。然而这只是故事的一方面。其他的研究者说男人更倾向于说一些较严重的谎言,例如承诺他们从来没想过要实现的承诺。政客和商人似乎特别擅长于此类谎言:说谎者可从谎言中获利或在某些方面得到好处。
同样有研究侧重于当人们说谎时他们行为的一些细小的,明显的不重要的改变。结果表明如果他们当时坐着,那么他们会更多的在椅子中移动。他们对受过训练的观察者承认“我希望我是在另一个地方”。他们也会更多的触摸脸部的某些部分,特别是鼻子。一个解释是因为说谎会使血压产生微小的变化。鼻尖对这样的变化非常敏感,血压的增加使得它发痒。
另一个将说谎者出卖的举动是在Desmond Morris的书《Manwatching》中提到的“封嘴”。他说有几种动作形式,例如用手指掩一部分嘴,摸上嘴唇或者一个手指支在嘴角。这样的行为可以看作是一种阻止说谎者继续说谎的下意识举动。
当然,这些举止,例如摸鼻子或者掩盖嘴唇,或者在椅子中移动都不能作为讲话者正在说谎的证据。只是这些行为在这样的情况下更容易发生。不是一个举止就可以将说谎者出卖,而是一系列的东西,特别是说谎者所说的谎言本身。

五、全文翻译
让孩子们学会判断他们自己的工作。一个孩子学说话并不是通过一直地被纠正而学会的:如果被纠正的太多的话,他会停止说话。他在一天中注意他所用的语言和周围的人们用的语言的不同有上千次。一点一点地,他为使他的语言像其他人的一样而作了必要的改变。同样地,孩子们学其他所有的事情,他们都是无师自通的——走路,跑,爬,吹口哨,骑自行车——将他们自己的行为和那些更熟练地人们进行比较,慢慢地做出必要的改变。但是,在学校里,我们并没有给一个孩子发现自己的错误并自己改正的机会。我们全都为他们做了。我们的做法好像是我们认为他是不会注意到错误的,除非为他指出来,或者是他是不会改正错误的,除非我们让他改正。让他自己解决,如果他愿意的话可以在其他孩子们的帮助下,他说什么,这个问题的答案是什么,这是否是说或者做的一个好方法。
如果是一个正确答案的问题,像是数学或者是科学,给他们答案书。让他们自己更正自己的作业。为什么我们老师要浪费时间在如此程序化的事情上呢?我们的工作是在孩子说他找不到得到正确答案的方法时给他帮助。让孩子们学习那些受过教育的人们有朝一日要学习的,如何衡量他们自己的理解力,如何知道他们知道什么,不知道什么。
Passage 3
一、文章大意和总体结构分析
这篇文章是一个小故事,讲述作者和朋友火车上与同车厢的旅客间发生的一件趣事。作者和约翰准备在火车上吸烟,但是坐在对面的旅客提醒他们这是无烟车厢并忠告了他们吸烟的害处。文章一直很符合逻辑地进行,但是最后的结尾比较出人意料。原来坐在对面的自称为医生的旅客竟是一位刚从精神病院逃出的患者。
二、试题详解
11、B 此题考查的是考生对文章信息的搜索。We were on our way back from a camping holiday。说明作者刚刚结束露营回来,而露营一般都会联想到tent“帐篷”。A项on a boat“在船上”,C项on a farm“在农场上”,D项 with an aunt“与阿姨一起”,这三项在文章中都没有体现。
12、A 本题考查的是对词义的理解。We had lived rough for over a fortnight。Fortnight意思是两周。Over,“超过”,超过两周,所以应选A, more than two weeks.13、D。倒数第二行说:He left his newspaper behind him..A.threw his newspaper away,“扔掉报纸”;B.offered them his newspaper “将报纸给了作者和他的朋友”;C.dropped his newspaper,“扔掉报纸”。
14、D。最后一段第一行说:“Just look at this”, remarked John, pointing to a photograph.“pointing to a photograph”, “指着报纸上的照片”。A.in a hurry,“匆忙地”;B.with great interest,“带着很大的兴趣”;C.to pass the time,“为了消磨时间”。这三项都与文章的意思不符,所以应选A.15、C。此题旨在测试考生对单词的理解。最后一段第二行说:“Underneath the photograph was an account of a lunatic who had recently escaped.” Lunatic意为“精神病患者”。所以应选Ca madman
三、文章长难句分析
1、John had bought a packet of cigarettes just before we caught the train and he offered me one as we settled ourselves in our compartment.就在我们赶上火车之前约翰买了一包烟,等我们在车厢安顿好之后他递给我一支。Catch the train,赶上火车。Settle sb.in some places,在某处坐好,安顿好。
2、The man went on, in a rather more kindly way, to warn us against the dangers of smoking.这个男人以一种更和善的口吻坚持让我们警惕吸烟的危害。In a more kindly way,为插入语,修饰这个人说话的语气、态度。To warn us against the dangers of smoking是宾语成分。
四、核心词汇
Settle sb.in some places, 坐好、安顿好;live rough艰苦地度过;be opposite to在对面;lean across倾斜身体;no smoking compartment无烟车厢;warn against告捷、警告;eager to急于做某事;an account of,„的说明;pretend to假装
五、全文翻译
就在我们赶上火车之前约翰买了一包烟,等我们在车厢安顿好之后他递给我一支。我们正从假期露营回家的路上,经过了两个多星期的艰苦生活,现在一支香烟对我们来说都是一种奢侈。
我摸摸口袋,想找出火柴,但发现我没有。“我也没有”,约翰说。我们对面坐着一位先生,报纸遮住了他的脸。“对不起,先生”,约翰斜了斜身子,“您能借我们个火儿吗?”那位已过中年的先生放低报纸,我们看到他严肃的脸。“这是无烟车厢”,他说,并向我们指了指窗户上的标志。我们向他到了歉并收起了还未点着的香烟。这个男人以一种更和善的口吻坚持让我们警惕吸烟的危害。最后他总结道:“作为一名医生,我这么讲。”然后便继续看报。火车又经过了几站,那位先生便下车了,并留下了他的报纸。我们拿过报纸,急于了解在我们露营期间外面都发生了什么。“看看这个”,约翰指着一张照片对我说,“这不是刚才坐在我们对面的那个人吗?”照片底下有一行说明,这就是最近刚刚逃出来精神病患者。看来他喜欢假扮医生。
