单选题 A. cured B. met C. taught D. noticed
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[解析] cure意为“治愈,治疗”;meet意为“遇到,碰见”;teach意为“教,讲授”。均与题意不符。notice意为“认出,觉察到,注直到”,根据上下文,“我”应是“注意到坐在我对面的人似乎神绷紧张”。
单选题 A. turoed B. appeared C. pretended D. meant
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析] turn意为“转动,转向,变得”,pretend意为“假装,装作”,常用pretend to do sth.;mean to do sth.意为“打算做某事”。它们放在这里与题意不符。appear意为“出现,显露,看来,好像”。坐在我对面的人应是“看起来”神经很紧张。
单选题 A. admiring B. screaming C. pointing D. staring
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[解析] admire表示“钦佩,赞美’;scream表示“尖叫,纵声大笑”; point做动词表示“向,使对准”;stare表示(由于吃惊,好奇,害怕等对某人或某物)“瞪着眼睛凝视,盯着看”。根据下文,他重复那句话多次却念不好,所以当时一定是“正睁大眼睛盯着车厢里的一则广告”.stare符合题意。
单选题 A. move B. shake C. touch D. wave
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析] move意为“移动,搬动”;shake意为“发抖,抖动,(使某人/某物)急速摇动或颠簸”;touch意为“触摸”;wave意为“波动,起伏,挥手致意”。在某人想念单词却又念不好时,只能是“手颤抖”(shake)。
单选题 A. came back B. want on C. rushed over D. looked over
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] come back意为“回来,返回”;go on意为“继续(做某事)”;rush over意为“跑过去,急忙去做某事”;look over意为“从上看过去,参观,查看,检查”。根据下文,“我”去问他“你怎么了”,所以“我”一定是拿起药箱“急忙跑过去”了。
单选题 A. generally B. exactly C. usually D. naturally
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析] generally意为“一般地,普通地,通常地”;exactly意为“确切地,精确地”;usually意为“通常地,惯常地”;naturally意为“自然地,天然地”。“我拿起药箱急忙跑过去了”,一定是去询问情况,故应问“你究竟怎么了”。在这里,exactly有强调的意味。如; What exactly is he up to?
单选题 A. telling about B. showing off C.calling for D. dealing with
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[解析] tell常用的句型是tell sb.about/of sth.;show off意为“炫耀,卖弄”;call for意为“要求,需要,提倡,号召”;deal with意为“以某事物作为内容;讨论某事物”。根据常理推测,广告应是“宜传某一品牌衬衫质量好”,deal with符合题意。
单选题 A. common B. regular C. famous D. certain
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[解析] 作者在上下文中并没有提及“衬衫”的质量和知名度等问题,所以用common(共有的,普通的,一般的),regular(规则的,整齐的,定期的),famous(著名的)均不符合题意。certain(某一,某种,一定)更合适。
单选题 A. admitted B. said C. proved D. called
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析] 下文的“wilt,shrink,crease,or wrinkle"是广告的具体内容,故本句指广告上“说”。admit意为“准许…进入,接纳,承认,供认”,prove意为“证明,证实”,call意为“叫,称呼”.均不符合题意。say在这里意为“(说、符号等)表示(信息)”。
单选题 A. what B.how C. talk D. think
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] talk about意为“谈论某人/某物”,think about意为“回想或想起某人/某物”。how/what about表示(1)用以询问消息或征求意见;(2)用以提出建议。本句是对上一句的回应,所以应该问“怎么回事”。这种情况下常用what about。
单选题 A. crazy B. ahead C. angry D.back
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] 根据上文“他正睁大眼睛盯着车厢里的一则广告”,“他的手开始颤抖”说明他情绪激动,所以用crazy(发疯的,疯狂的)来描述比用ahead(在前的,领先的),angry(生气的),back(后面的,背后的;反向的)合适。
单选题 A. loud B. alone C. freely D. completely
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 作者在下文中提到,我念了几次“wilt,shrink,crease,or wrinkle”,但总在某个地方出错,所以可以推测和作者说话的那个人也是不能流利、正确地说出这些词。本句意为:我能在心里默念这些词,但我不能流利地说出来。loud(响亮地),alone(单独地,独自地),completely(完全地,全部地)均不符合题意。
单选题 A. truly B. really C. simply D. particularly
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] truly和really意为“真正地,确实地’,particularly意为“特别,尤其,格外”,simply意为“简单地,朴素地,仅仅,只不过”。这里,“我”为了安慰“他”,说:“你当然能说出来,你只是(simply)有点紧张。
单选题 A. stop B.give in C. hurry up D. look
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析] 根据上文,“你只是有点紧张”,能够推测“我”会鼓励“他”别泄气,再试试。所以选give in(向某人/某物屈服、让步、投降)合适。其他选项stop(停止,阻止),hurry叩(赶紧),look(看)均不符合题意。
单选题 A. covered B. turned C. hid D. touched
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] 根据上下文,“他”应该是“呻吟着以手掩面(covet)”,而不是把脸转向(turn)某—边,把脸藏起来(hide)或用手触摸脸颊(touch)。
单选题 A. Talk to B. AIIow C. Listen to D. Show
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] “我”在下文重复了那几个词,所以这里“我”让“他”“听我说”(listen to me),整件事情(念那几个词)是件十分简单的事。其他选项talk to me(和我谈话),allow me(准许我),show me(给我看>均不符合题意。
单选题 A. advertisement B. problem C. situation D. thing
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[解析] 根据51题的译文,我们可以得知“重复那几个词是件十分简单的事(thing)”,其他选项advertisement(广告),problem(问题),situation(情况,形势)均不符合题意。
单选题 A. tried B. spelled C. spoke D. explained
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] 根据上下文,本句意为:我试了好几次,每次都在不同地方出错了。不能说“我"spelled(拼写)/spoke(说)/explained(解释)了几次。
单选题 A. was anxious B.was nervous C.laughed D. shouted
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 我”也在不同地方出错了,“他”完全恢复了正常,所以可以推测“他笑了”,而不是anxious(忧虑的),nervous(紧张的), shouted(呼喊,喊叫)。
单选题 A. interested B. delighted C. worried D. astonished
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析] 在上文中“他笑了,完全恢复了正常”,所以可以推测“我”也很高兴。interested(感兴趣的),worried(焦虑的),astonished (惊讶的)都不符合题意。
