[答案與解析]
本篇文章為記敘文。本文主要講的是一個盲人乘客的故事。
1. D 盲人是看不見的,所有的動作都是靠摸索的,其實這是常識問題,據此可知應該選擇“feel”(摸索,感知),而不應該是“有目的”地去“touch”(觸碰)。
2. C 盲人陷入到黑暗的世界,這種表達在中文里面我們也使用,所以明顯應該是“a world of darkness”。
3. B 固定搭配,be determined to do sth.,下決心做某事,當然也可以用 make up one’s mind to do sth.。
4. A 人殘志不殘,她想回到工作之中去。
5. D 考查形容詞。frightened表示恐懼。
6. Avolunteer表示志愿去幫助Susan,現在很流行志愿者,所以大家不會對這個詞感到陌生。
7. Caccompany表示“陪伴”,既然Mark是來幫助Susan的,顯然是來陪伴她的
8. D 盲人失去的是 “sight(視力)”,其它的sense(感覺)還是存在的。
9. B 盲人需要適應的是新的environment(環境),而不是新的position(位置)。
10. D 試想,擁抱自己的丈夫,而且是在分別的時候,感慨萬千的時候,應該有的動作當然是 “tightly”(緊緊的),而不會是politely(禮貌的)等。
11. B 在接受了別人的幫助后,Susan終于要獨自一人登上旅程了。他們各自走各自的路,“separate”表示“分別的”,其實她的背后有很多默默支持她的人,顯然不是“lonely”(孤獨的)。
12. D take hold of(吸引); take place of(代替);take charge of(掌管);take advantage of(利用)。
13. B 仔細閱讀下面的文章,不難發現,司機是準備告訴Susan一個秘密。也就是要告訴她有很多人在默默地支持和關懷她。所以,根據上下文的理解,可以知道此刻司機是要表達一種羨慕嫉妒之情,也是對Susan的一種寬慰。
14. A 在過于的幾個星期中,英文應該是 “for the past week”“next”表示的是下周,還沒發生的事情是不可能用完成時的,而且 “for+一段時間”是現在完成時的時間狀語標志。
15. C 文中指的是,Susan雖然失去了視力,但是獲得了更多寶貴的東西。

4. D 從句中的 “makes sounds”可判斷Beans試圖用言語進行回答。
5. C 根據下文,Beans帶我走了不熟悉的路。
6. B 可以從“My 1, Beans, and I walk the trail frequently.” 和 “we took a different route, which led us to an unfamiliar trail.”綜合判斷選B,即“熟悉的小徑”。
7. A 根據下文的 “So I urged, ‘Beans, take me home.’”可以推斷我突然意識到Beans可能知道回家的路。
8. D 由“He ran down a new trail. But it merely led to an intersection (岔道口) of trails.”可推斷其實Beans并不知道回家的路,即:很快,我們已經迷路是很明顯的事了。
9. B 由前后語境可知我們迷失在一個偏僻之處,再結合第一段“This trail is one of the old roads that wind through untold miles of forest”的提示可判斷選B項。
10. A 根據句中but所表示的轉折關系,再結合“The sniffing and exploring was going well for him.”的提示推斷,至于迷路一事我著急,但Beams并不關心。
11. C 由前后語境可推斷此處應意為“我們終于來到了離高速公路不遠處的一個十字路口”。
12. D 很快我們就來到一處村舍,shortly意為“不久”,符合語境。
13. B 我敲門請求幫助。
14. C 從我們的冒險經歷斷定Beans可能一直知道回家的路,他只是喜歡探險新的路徑罷了。
15. A 根據全文得知。

I saw him 3 his watch and decided, since I was not busy-my patient didn’t 4 at the appointed hour, I would examine his wound. While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor’s appointment.
The gentleman said no and told me that he 5 to go to the nursing home on eat breakfast with his 6. He told me that she had been there for a while and that she had a special disease.

[答案與解析]
本篇文章為記敘文。文章講述了一個感人的故事,在醫院里,一位老人不管妻子患病與否都始終不離不棄,他們可以沒有最好的東西,但是他們充分利用了他們所擁有的東西。
1. C 關鍵詞就在后面waiting room。有可能選break這個詞,但是break之前一定要很緊張才行,這里老漢沒有緊張。
2. D 護士對一個老漢能做的動作,最符合邏輯的是telling(告訴)。
3. C 看動作的發出者,一個焦急的老漢會做的動作,肯定是look at (看)手表。
4. A 固定搭配,表示“出現”的意思。這里要注意破折號表示解釋說明,我不是很忙,因為我的病人在appointed hour 里面沒有出現。appoint 這個詞除了“任命”的意思外,還有“約”時間的意思。
5. A 考查動詞搭配,用排除法。
6. B 第五段的第一句出現了marriage,表示他們倆曾經有一段,那么選妻子這個選項。
7. B 詞義辨析,lonely“孤獨的”,worried “焦慮的,擔心的”,doubtful“懷疑的”,hungry“饑餓的”。
8. A 之前見過,現在認不出來。
9. C 表示驚訝。選項moved干擾度比較大,需要根據全文來理解作者的態度,文中進行到這里并沒有很明顯的作者的正面態度出現,證據就在于他的那個問句:你知道她不認識你,還是每天早上要去陪她?這句話顯然不是一個正面態度的體現,而真正的態度轉正的地方在倒數第二段,他忍住淚水,所以這里不能選moved這個表示正面態度的詞語。
10. B 關鍵在前面的動詞hold back(忍住,忍回去)。忍回去的只有淚水。
11. A 表示主觀“意識到”。
12. C 真愛就是對于所有一切的接受。
13. A 這個詞的意思是“必要地”,這句話的意思是最幸福的人并不一定是一個擁有所有最好東西的人。
14. B 考查動詞和名詞的搭配, make the best of(充分利用)。
15. D 生活并不是要經歷暴風雨,而是要學會苦中作樂。

(2010北京卷)I met Mrs. Neidl in the ninth grade on a stage-design team for a play and she was one of the directors. Almost instantly I loved her. She had an unpleasant voice and a direct way of speaking, yet she was encouraging and inspiring. For some reason, she was impressed with my work and me.
Mrs. Neidl would ask me for my 1. She wanted to know how I thought we should 2 things. At first I had no idea how to answer because I knew nothing about stage design!But I slowly began to respond to her 3. It was cause and effect: She believed I had opinions, so I began to 4 them. She trusted me to complete things, so I completed them perfectly. She loved how 5 I was, so I began to show up to paint more and more. She believed in me, so I began to believe in myself.
Mrs. Neidl’s 6 that year was, “Try it. We can always paint over it later!”I began to take 7. I had been so afraid of failing but suddenly there was no failing——only things to be 8 upon. I learned to dip my brush into the paint and 9 create something.
The shy, quiet freshman achieved success that year. I was recognized in the programas “Student Art Assistant”because of the time and effort I’d put in. It was that year that I 10 I wanted to spend the rest of my life doing stage design.
Being on that stage-design team with Mrs. Neidl changed me completely. Not only was I stronger and more competent than I had thought, but I also 11 a strong interest and a world I hadn’t known existed. She taught me not to 12 what people think I should do: She taught me to take chances and not be 13. Mrs. Neidl was my comforter when I was upset. Her 14 in me has inspired me to do things that I never imagined 15.

[答案與解析]
本篇文章為記敘文。作者開始做事情很不自信,Mrs. Neidl對他的信任,使得作者從不敢做事情到敢做事情,也在Mrs. Neidl的鼓勵下拿起了畫筆畫畫,從中反映了自信的重要性。
1. A 從第二段第二句話得知,“她想知道我認為我們該怎樣處理事情”,第二段倒數第四句話中也出現了這個詞從而驗證了其正確性。
2. C 根據文章主線選擇“處理”事情。handle 有兩種意思,名詞是“柄、把”,動詞是“處理”。
3. A 從第二段第一句中的 “ask 提問”及第四句中的“answer 回答”得知。
4. D 本句的them指代opinions,form opinion形成觀點。
5. C 后半句 “so I began to show up to paint more and more ” 作者做的事情變多是Mrs. Neidl信任的結果,說明我是個可信賴(reliable)的人。
6. B 引號里是一句具有鼓勵性的話,說明這話是她的motto(座右銘)。
7. D 固定搭配,take risks冒險。通讀全文發現作者是開始很不自信,第四段開頭也提示了作者“shy”“quiet”,因此動筆畫畫對他來說是個冒險,是自我突破的過程,文章最后一段也提到了take chances冒險。
8. A 固定搭配,improve upon 改進。線索是本段開頭的座右銘“試試吧,我們永遠可以重畫一次”。因此不存在失敗,只存在改進。
9. C 本段主要描寫了作者從不敢做到敢做的過程,根據前文提示作者曾很不自信,后來在Mrs. Neidl的鼓勵下自信地拿起了畫筆畫畫。
10. C作者意識到自己想要的是什么,所以用realized。
11. B 發現了一項愛好和一個未知的世界,選discovered。
12. B “她教會我不要去在乎別人認為我該怎么做”,care 在乎,符合文意。
13. D 前面說take chance 冒險,后面理所當然說不要怕(失敗),而且前文反復出現了afraid 這個詞,是全篇的關鍵詞。
14. A 通讀全文會發現文中多次提到Mrs. Neidl對作者的信任,并在第三段明確使用了trust這個詞,因此推斷出答案。
15. C “她對我的信任激勵我完成以前認為不可能的事情”,“never imagined possible” 等于 “imagined impossible” 認為不可能的,切合文意。

Years later, when I stood in the kitchen of my new house, thinking how I wanted to make my 7 Christmas there special and memorable, I 8 remembered the women’s visit. I decided that I wanted to create that same feeling of 9 for as many children as I could possibly reach.

Before I called out their names and handed them their gifts, I 12 them that they couldn’t open their presents until every child had come forward. Finally the 13 they had been waiting for came as I called out, “One, two, three. Open your presents!” As the children opened their packages, their faces beamed and their bright smiles 14 up the room.

My dance class was doing a routine on wooden boxes two feet by two feet, facing the 5. All I had to do in the next move was put one foot on the box next to mine and keep my other foot on my box. I really was an

There I was standing on the stage floor when my classmates were on top of their boxes. I could hear giggles(咯咯笑) coming from the audience, and I felt the 9 rush to my face. I remembered my dance teacher had told us, “If you make a mistake, keep smiling so the audience will not 10.” I did my best to follow her 11 as I continued with the routine.
When the curtain dropped, so did my hopes for the evening. I 12 bitterly, tasting the salt from the tears that streamed down my face. I ran backstage, but no one could 13 me down.
