Ⅰ.
A【解题导语】本文是议论文。英国人通常礼貌地表达不满。
1.D 词义猜测题。根据上文的及下文的可推断,英国人有时不抱怨,有时抑制不满的情绪并最终爆发。故画线部分的意思应是“掩盖或抑制情绪或感情”。
2.D 细节理解题。根据第二段末尾的“In France,on the other hand,angry passengers might riot and burn down the subway station if they had to put up with the poor service that the London Underground provides.”可知,法国人常常直接表达自己的不满。 3.A 细节理解题。根据文章末尾的“If you do not say ‘sorry’or use other distancing words...you will be seen as rude.”可知,英国人说“抱歉”,实际上是为了在抱怨时尽量不表现得粗鲁无礼。
4.B 主旨大意题。本文主要讲英国人抱怨的方式非常委婉、礼貌。故B项正确。 B
Ⅱ.【解题导语】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了一个旅行作家与他的宠物狗蕾拉的故事。 1.A 根据下文的可知,当时作者即将“辞去(quit)”一份稳定的工作。
2.D 根据下文的“Layla had me at the first wag.”可知,尽管作者即将辞去一份稳定的工作,但是他一见到蕾拉就毫不犹豫地决定领养它。without a second thought“毫不犹豫”。
3.A 根据上文的travel writer可推断,此处是说作者写“故事(stories)”的时候。 4.C 根据上文的have long (often nonverbal)conversations可知,作者和蕾拉彼此互相“交流。
5.C 根据上文的travel writer及When I sat down to write可推断,作者会把自己“写(written)”的东西大声读给蕾拉听。
6.B 根据上文的“If she turned away to concentrate on cleaning a paw...”可推断,如果看到蕾拉转过脸集中精力于清洁爪子,作者便知道自己写的东西不够好,需要“重新来过(start over)”。
7.A 当然蕾拉并不“理解(understand)”作者所写的东西。
7 / 9
8.D 根据蕾拉的反应判断文章的好坏是作者自己修改文章的“方法(means)”。
9.D 根据上段的描述可知,给蕾拉读自己所写的东西将修改文章的任务变成了一件“乐事(joy)”。
10.C 因为作者将旅行中的故事讲给蕾拉听,所以蕾拉成了作者旅行中的虚拟“伙伴(partner)”。
11.D 作者通过观察蕾拉对自己的“作品(work)”的反应迫使自己关注文章的细节。 12.A 根据第三段中的描述可知,作者给蕾拉讲故事时“仿佛(as though)”蕾拉是一位读者。
13.A 根据下文的made me a better writer可知,给蕾拉讲自己所写的东西帮助作者“改进(shape)”自己的文章。
14.C 由第二、三段可知,对作者而言,蕾拉是一位“现成的(ready)”听众。
15.D 根据第二段开头的“Although disappointed when I went traveling,Layla was always happy when I returned.”及第三段开头的I would read aloud to her what可知,因为作者旅行回来后将旅途中的故事讲给蕾拉听,所以作者旅行时就像有蕾拉“在精神上(mentally)”陪伴他。
16.B 根据下文的“...because my friend of so long is gone.”可知如今蕾拉去世了,作者很“伤心(heartbroken)”。
17.B 根据上文的Like many old friends可知,像很多老朋友一样,作者和蕾拉多年来“一起经历了(shared)”很多酸甜苦辣。
18.C 蕾拉对作者写作的帮助令作者很“感激(grateful)”。
19.D 根据下文的“I owe a large part to her being at my side...”可知,不论作者作为旅行作家取得了哪些“成功(success)”,他都将其中的很大一部分归功于蕾拉的陪伴。 20.A 根据第三段开头的I would read aloud to her可知,蕾拉总是在“聆听(listening)”作者的作品。 Ⅲ.短文改错
