ofcwhile dbesides参考答案a1. 答案：a解析：根据文章前面的叙述，作者从luxor坐火车去cairo旅游可知在凌晨1点，作者到达(reach)了目的地cairo。 2. 答案：c解析：根据下文的“a couple of fastfood restaurants would be open there”可以判断出，作者饿了，想找吃饭的地方，故正确答案为c项。 3. 答案：b解析：由于作者以前去过cairo，知道此时城里的大多数餐馆都关门(close down)了。let down“使失望，放下”，get down“记下，写下”，put down“记下”，均不符合语境。 4. 答案：d解析：出租车把作者放在了hardees对面的街道。短语drop sb.off意思是“中途卸客”，符合语境。 5. 答案：d解析：作者要进去就餐，当然要去推开(open)那家餐馆的门。 6. 答案：c解析：根据文章的语境，街道上的两个男孩向作者跑来，叫喊(cry)着向他要食物。 7. 答案：b解析：根据空线前后的内容，可以知道这里是并列的关系，作者作为一个经常旅游的人，又在埃及生活过一年，很熟悉孩子们的这种乞讨行为，所以要用as well as，意思是“和，又”。apart from“除了外”，in favour of“赞成”，in return for“作为对的回报”，均与语境不符。 8. 答案：c解析：根据语境，可以知道作者对于乞讨的人并没有感到奇怪。 9. 答案：d解析：根据语境可知，作者为孩子真诚的请求所感动(moved)。surprised“吃惊的”，regretted“遗憾的”，appointed“约定的”，不符合语境。 10. 答案：a解析：根据下文的“two hamburgers for the boys”可以知道，这里指的是那两个男孩儿(boys)。11. 答案：a解析：根据语境可知，作者为那两个孩子点(order)了汉堡包。demand“强烈要求”，request“要求，请求”，deserve“值得”，不符合语境。 12. 答案：b解析：汉堡包准备好时，作者走到外边(outside)，邀请孩子们和他一起吃饭。 13. 答案：c解析：孩子们听到作者的邀请，发出了令人惊讶的喊声：“不，我们不应待在这样的好地方！”。 14. 答案：a解析：根据下文的意思可知，作者没能(unable)说服那两个孩子进来。 15. 答案：b解析：根据上文可知作者把买来的食物(food)带出了餐馆。16. 答案：a解析：当那两个孩子拿到食物后，不断地祈祷安拉保佑作者。只有a项符合文章。 17. 答案：b解析：这里作者要告诉我们原因(why)，作者为什么一直为那两个埃及孩子祈祷。 18. 答案：c解析：根据上文的“praying that allah would always bless me”可知，作者也这样祈祷着。 19. 答案：d解析：表示作者永远记着(remember)这一点 20. 答案：a解析：虽然他们无法给予我物质上的回报，但是他们给我的祈祷比物质上的东西更好(greater)。 b 1. 答案：a解析：fill“使充满，装满”；visit“参观，访问”；attend“参加”；decorate“装饰”。由下文可知作者所经历的事情发生在一次学校的舞蹈表演上。孩子们的家人都来看孩子们的舞蹈表演。由第一段所描述的内容来看，作者对此很期待。所以在这个大厅里，气氛热烈，家长们也都来了。故只有a项最符合语境。 2. 答案：d解析：pressure“压力”；impression“印象”；debate“辩论”；attention“关注，注意”。句意：“我”是一个只有七岁的小女孩，但是“我”是大家关注的中心。作者在此要表达的意思就是：她虽然年纪小，但却是舞蹈表演的核心队员，这让她感到很自豪。由语境可知，d项最恰当。 3. 答案：b解析：take over“接管”；show off“卖弄，炫耀，表现”；look after“照顾”；give up“放弃”。句意：最后，经过多周的准备之后，在这次舞蹈表演中“我”将会把“我”辛苦的锻炼表现出来。故只有b项最合适。 4. 答案：d解析：reasonable“合情合理的”；suitable“合适的，适当的”；obvious“显而易见的”；perfect“完美的，最好的”。由常识可知，准备充分了，当然会认为一切都会非常完美。故d项符合语境。 5. 答案：a解析：dress up“打扮，穿上盛装，打扮得很漂亮”；fold up“垮台，放弃”；cover up“掩盖，盖住”； mix up“拌和，调和”。句意：“我”在后台等待，穿着黑色的带有金色腰带的紧身衣。由in my black tights with a golden belt可知，这是为了表演特意穿上的，是为了让自己打扮得更漂亮，所以只有dress up符合文意。 6. 答案：c解析：suggest“建议”；explain“解释”；announce“宣布”；predict“预言，预知”。由常识可知，节目的表演顺序要由主持人来宣布。 7. 答案：b解析：music“音乐”；audience“观众”；curtain“幕，窗帘”；stage“舞台”。由常识可知，演员表演节目要面对观众。 8. 答案：a解析：easy“容易的”；active“活跃的，积极的”；adventurous“大胆的，爱冒险的”；extra“额外的”。由下文“我”的注意力集中在面带微笑和挺胸抬头上，证明这种脚步的移动很简单，很容易。 9. 答案：d解析：contain“容纳，包含”；hide“隐藏，隐瞒”；share“分享”；keep“保持”。由常识可知，表演者要让自己始终面带微笑。 10. 答案：c解析：why“为什么”；whether“是否”；where“在的地方，在哪里”；what“什么”。由下文的“i missed my partners box.”可知，此处是指“我”没有注意到“我”走到哪里了。故c项符合语境。 11. 答案：b解析：wander“徘徊”；slip“滑过，滑倒”；wave“挥手，摇动”；skip“跳过”。根据下文的内容描述以及最后一段的最后一句“now when friends and family laugh about the time i slipped during a dance performance，i can laugh too.”可知，此处b项最符合语境。 12. 答案：a解析：blood“血液”；pleasure“快乐，娱乐”；pride“自豪，骄傲”；tear“眼泪”。由常识可知，“我”在表演时从箱子上滑了下来，观众又咯咯地笑起来，“我”肯定会感到很尴尬，所以应该是血液上涌，“我”的脸红了。故a项符合语境。 13. 答案：d解析：leave“离开”；cheer“欢呼，为加油”；believe“相信，认为”；notice“引起注意，注意到”。句意：“我”记起了舞蹈老师告诉“我们”的话。“如果你出了错，那么保持微笑吧。因为这样观众不会注意到你出了错”。由句意可知，d项正确。 14. 答案：c解析：gesture“姿态，手势”；example“例子，榜样”；advice“建议”；plan“计划”。由上下文可知，“我”尽力遵循她的建议。follow ones advice “遵循某人的建议”，固定短语。 15. 答案：b解析：doubt“怀疑”；hope“希望”；voice“声音，嗓音”；patience“耐心”。根据第一段的“i was only a 7yearold girl，but i was the center of attention.finally，after weeks of preparation，i would show off all my hard work in a dance performance.”以及“everything would be perfectso i thought.”可推断出，“我”对这次表演充满了希望。但是由于“我”从箱子上滑了下来，所以当谢幕的时候，“我”所有的希望也随之破灭了。故只有b项符合语境。16. 答案：d解析：argue“争论，辩论”；shout“喊叫”；beg“乞求”；sob“呜咽，啜泣”。由下文的“tasting the salt from the tears that streamed down my face”可知，此处sob符合语境。 17. 答案：b解析：turn down“减小，关小，拒绝”；calm down“平静下来，镇静下来”；let down“使失望，辜负”；put down“放下，写下”。“我”哭着跑向后台，情绪很激动，没人能够让“我”平静下来。故b项符合文意。 18. 答案：a解析：star“星星，明星”；pioneer“先锋”；loser“失败者，遗失者”；fool“傻子”。下文说，虽然“我”从箱子上滑了下来，但是“我”并没有跑下台，而是坚持面带微笑表演完节目，所以在这之后我才意识到自己是那晚的明星。 19. 答案：c解析：satisfied“满意的”；moved“感动的”；embarrassed“尴尬的”；confused“困惑的”。由常识可知，在表演的时候从箱子上掉下来，当然感到尴尬了。所以c项符合文意。 20. 答案：b解析：however“然而，可是，无论如何”；instead“反而，代替”；in total“总计”；in return“作为回报”。句意：我很尴尬，但是我克服了跑下台的想法，而留在了台上，面带微笑结束了我们的整套舞蹈动作。由上下文可知，此处b项最符合语境。c1. 答案：b解析：fall over意为“摔倒在，被绊倒”，从前面她的脚太大可知应选b项。jump over意为“跳跃”；turn over意为“翻转”；push一般不与 over搭配。 2. 答案：c解析：根据句意判断应选c项表示“在别人，通常是一个帅小伙的注视下，她往往因为不自在而摔倒”。watch意为“注视，留意”，符合题意。根据常识可排除“大笑(laugh)”，人们看到长相丑的人不可能“大笑”，而是好奇地“注视”。 3. 答案：d解析：人们嘲笑的是她的长相，所以选d项。the way后跟的是定语从句，省略了引导词in which/that。从前文她长相难看这一点可排除其他选项。 4. 答案：c解析：人们嘲笑她，不仅因为她长相“不一样(different)”，而且因为她想法“不一样”。special意为“独特的”，不一定指缺点；从后文可知，她并不“愚蠢(silly)”，因此不选a项；d项太片面。 5. 答案：b解析：when引导表语从句说明事情发生的时间。此处不表示事情发生的原因、方式或地点，根
