![]() 小题1:A 小题2:B 小题3:D 小题4:D 小题5:C 小题6:B 小题7:C 小题8:A 小题9:D 小题10:A 小题11:C 小题12:A 小题13:D 小题14:A 小题15:B 小题16:C 小题17:B 小题18:C 小题19:B 小题20:D 本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章围绕主题“美国梦”讲述了作者的心理变化,作者遭遇了一系列的不幸后,在乡村的经历和体验让他对“美国梦”有了不同于以往的更为深刻的理解。 小题1:解析:选A。根据该句话的语境“跟其他所有人一样我想实现美国梦并且为此努力工作,我们所有人各自奋斗,目标相同”可知,应选separately“各自地,分别地”。equally相等地,平等地;violently激烈地;naturally自然地。 小题2:解析:选B。由本空前的“through a series of unhappy events”可知,作者经历了一系列的不幸之后,梦想破碎了。故应选fall apart崩溃,破碎。fall off 减少;跌落;变坏;fall over 被……绊倒;意外地从……上跌落;fall out 争吵;脱落;解散。 小题3:解析:选D。此处语境为:穷困潦倒时,作者只好到乡村找了一个便宜的居所。此处搭配为search...for...“在……搜索……”。其余选项均不符合语境。 小题4:解析:选D。由“I had my truck and $56.”可知作者已经到了几乎身无分文的地步,带着身上仅由的56美元,作者只能以尽可能便宜的价格租下住所,故用cheapest。 小题5:解析:选C。此处语境为:作者找到了一座破旧的可以租赁的房子,位于西弗吉尼亚洲的波托马克河对岸,沿着蜿蜒的山路向上四英里处。over在此处意为“在……的另一边”,又如:They live over the river in Richmond.他们住在河对面的里士满区。 小题6:解析:选B。由“a shabby house”“full of broken glass and rubbish”可知这是一座破旧的房子,到处都是玻璃碎片和垃圾,由此推测这里已被“遗弃”多时。abandoned“被放弃的,被遗弃的”,符合题意。occupied已占用的,在使用的;emptied被清空的;robbed被抢劫的。 小题7:解析:选C。作者找到房主租下房子后,必须先进行清理之后才能“camp in”,所以此空填cleared,即作者先“清理”了一个角落。turn旋转,使改变方向;approach接近,走近,靠近;cut剪切;切成。这三项均与语境不符。 小题8:解析:选A。句意:尽管当地人对我一无所知,但是慢慢地,它们开始教我……很显然前后是一种转折关系,故用but。although尽管,虽然,它的位置应该放在“The locals knew nothing about me...”之前;otherwise否则,不然;for因为,由于。 小题9:解析:选D。此处语境:他们开始教我与邻居们相处的艺术。art艺术,技能,符合题意。benefit 利益,好处;lesson教训,经验;nature自然;天性。这三项均与语境不符。 小题10:解析:选A。本题考查动词短语的意义辨析。stick around逗留,停留;look around环视周围;swing around使转过;turn around(使)转身;(使)好转。此处语境为:邻居们开始在此逗留与我聊天,故选A项。 小题11:解析:选C。文章第一段讲到了作者起初理解的美国梦是工作、按揭、信用卡和成功,而由空格后的“...not the one of individual achievement but of...”可知,现在信仰的是一个“不同的”美国梦,故选different。wild野生的,野蛮的,狂野的;real 真实的;remote偏僻的,遥远的。 小题12:解析:选A。本段前面讲到邻居们教作者做邻居的艺术,给他提供了很多帮助,由此可知选neighborliness“友善,睦邻友好”,侧重指邻里关系。其余三项分别意为“幸福”“友好,亲切”“仁慈,好意”。 小题13:解析:选D。根据第一段所描述的美国梦的内容“a job,a mortgage(按揭),credit cards,success”可知,作者原来认为这些东西是文明生活所必需的,故选necessary。unique独特的;expensive昂贵的;rare稀少的。这三项均不符合语境。 小题14:解析:选A。由第二段中“I came upon a shabby house four miles up a winding mountain road...”可知房子在山上,故选up。 小题15:解析:选B。句意:在这座山上,我最珍贵的财产是我和邻居们的关系(relationship)。cooperation合作;satisfaction满意;appointment约会。这三项均不符合语境。 小题16:解析:选C。解答该题的依据是第二段中的“I __ 38 __the countryside for some place...”及本段的“Four years later,moved back into...”。与countryside相对的是town,故选C。reality现实;society社会;life 生活。这三项均不符合语境。 小题17:解析:选B。该空前的“many people were having a really hard time”说明许多人正过着相当艰难的生活,可推测是“失去”了工作和家,故选losing。create创造,offer提供,明显不符合语境;quit只能和jobs搭配,不能和homes搭配。 小题18:.解析:选C。本题考查对四个动词短语的意思的理解。put in放进,提交,申请;turn in上交,拐入,告发;take in让……进入,接受,理解,欺骗;get in进入,收获,被录取。此处说作者设法租了一个足够大的房子能让一些人住进来,因此选C。get in是指人主动进入,不符合语境。 小题19:解析:选B。此处语境为:如果我们不团结在一起,我们就都会流落到住收容所(shelters)的地步。yard庭院;camp帐篷;cottage 小屋,村舍。这三项均不符合语境。 小题20:解析:选D。此处语境为:与其说美国梦在于自己能得到什么,不如说它在于我们所有人如何一起渡过难关。get by勉强度日,为固定搭配。about后面的从句不缺主语、宾语和表语,因此不选what;也没有“是否”(whether)的意思;也没有涉及时间(when)问题,因此只能选how。
