单选题
{{B}} Text{{/B}}
One summer night, on my way home from work I decided to see a movie. I knew the theatre would be airconditioned and I couldn't face my {{U}}(26) {{/U}} apartment.
Sitting in the theatre I had to look through the {{U}}(27) {{/U}} between the two tall heads in front of me. I had to keep changing the {{U}}(28) {{/U}} every time she leaned over to talk to him, {{U}}(29) {{/U}} he leaned over to kiss her. Why do Americans display such {{U}}(30) {{/U}} in a public place?
I thought the movie would be good for my English, but {{U}}(31) {{/U}} it turned out, it was an Italian movie. {{U}}(32) {{/U}} about an hour I decided to give up on the movie and {{U}}(33) {{/U}} on my popcorn. I've never understood why they give you so much popcorn! It tasted pretty good, {{U}}(34) {{/U}}. Alter a while I heard {{U}}(35) {{/U}} more of the romantic-sounding Italians. I just heard the {{U}}(36) {{/U}} of the popcorn crunching between my teeth. My thought started to {{U}}(37) {{/U}}. I remembered when I was in South Korea, I {{U}}(38) {{/U}} to watch Kodak on TV frequently. He spoke perfect Korean -- I was really amazed. He seemed like a good friend to me, {{U}}(39) {{/U}} I saw him again in New York speaking {{U}}(40) {{/U}} English instead of perfect Korean. He didn't even have a Korean accent and I {{U}}(41) {{/U}} like I had been betrayed.
When our family moved to the United States six years ago, none of us spoke any English. {{U}}(42) {{/U}} we had begun to learn a few words, my mother suggested that we all should speak English at home. Everyone. agreed, but our house became very {{U}}(43) {{/U}} and we all seemed to avoid each' other. We sat at the dinner table in silence, preferring that to {{U}}(44) {{/U}} a difficult language. Mother tried to say something in English but it {{U}}(45) {{/U}} out all wrong and we all burst into laughter and decided to forget it! We've been speaking Korean at home ever since.
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】考查上下文理解。由前文的summer及air-conditioned(有空调的)可知作者的公寓里没有空调即是“炎热的”,选[B] 。warm(温暖的)与cold相对;heated热烈的,激动的;cool(凉爽的)与hot相对。
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】考查名词词义。crack裂缝,缝隙,劈啪声;blank空白(处),空白表格;break(课间、工间)休息,间歇;opening口子,开始,空缺。本句指从两个人的头之间的缝隙看去,只有[A] 对。
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】考查名词与上下文理解。aspect方面,(建筑物的)朝向,面貌,外观;view看法,视域,景色; space空地,空间,间距,空白处,期间;angle角(度),观点。change the angle指“改变(观看的)角度”。
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】考查上下文关系。根据句意,应该是指“每次她靠过去与他说话或者他靠过去吻她时我都得改变观看的角度”,空格前后两部分为并列关系,故选[C] 。
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】考查词义与上下文理解。由前一句的kiss可知这是一对情侣,作者的疑问因此而起,所以应填入表“感情”的affection。其余三项都不对;attraction吸引;attention注意,专心;motion运动,移动。
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】考查连接词,as it turned out在此是插入语,意为“结果是”。as作连词,意为“如同”。其余三项均不用在此结构中。
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】考查时态与上下文理解。首先可根据文意(作者以为是英文电影,结果却是意大利影片)推知这里要表达的是“一个小时后我决定不再看”。其次从语法来看,within一般指在将来的某个时段内,谓语用将来时;for与over后的谓语动词应用完成时态,指动作持续了多长时间;只有after后可用一般时态。
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】考查固定搭配。concentrate on集中精力于…上;chew(咀嚼)与taste(品尝)都不与介词on连用fix on决定,确定。
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】考查上下文理解。根据上下文文意,此句实际上应相当于上句的一个让步状语从句,意为“尽管味道很好,但我一直不明白…”,故选though。
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】考查上下文理解。由于放弃了看电影而专心于吃爆米花,所以作者当然听不到浪漫的意大利语了,故选否定词no。
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】考查名词词义。voice专指人发出的“嗓音”;sound指所有“声音,响声”;rhythm指有节奏的“旋律”,一般用来指乐曲;tone指音乐的“音色”或人说话、朗读时的“语气,语调”。此处指咀嚼爆米花的声音,故只有[B] 对。
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】考查动词与上下文理解。wonder对…感到疑惑/好奇/惊讶,想知道;wander漫游,闲逛,走神,恍惚;imagine想像,设想,猜想;depart离开,出发,背离,违反。能与thought(思想)搭配且意义符合逻辑的只有[B] 。
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】考查固定搭配。used to do为固定搭配,意为“过去常常…”。考生可由句中的时间状语从句与句末的frequently得到提示。
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】考查上下文理解。句意为:他一直就像我的一个好朋友,直到有一天我在纽约看见他说着完美的英语而不是完美的韩语。until引导时间状语,表达的是主句动作或状态在时间状语从句动作发生之前一直存在。
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】考查词义与上下文理解。根据前文“Me spoke perfect Korean”及下文的“He didn't even have a Korean accent”可知应选[C] 。
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】考查固定搭配。feel like为固定搭配,意为“感到似乎…”。
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】考查上下文理解。句意为;在我们还没学会几个英语单词时,我母亲就建议我们每个人在家里都应当说英语。before引导一个时间状语从句。其余各项填入题中都会造成逻辑不通。
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】考查词义与上下文理解。由前文说母亲建议在家里说英语及后面说we all seemed to avoid each other可知应选quiet(安静的)。empty空的;still静止的;calm(指人)平静的。
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】考查固定搭配。说某种语言一般用动词speak而不用say、tell或utter。
【正确答案】 C
