to“听到”。a、b、c三项均没有“听到”的意思。答案d2a. strugglebcrycyelldtest解析struggle意为“挣扎，斗争”；cry意为“哭，喊叫”；yell意为“叫喊”；test意为“测试”。由第二段第四句中“the struggle is part of trap”的提示可知，此处应选用struggle。答案a3a. birdbflycinsectdworm解析bird意为“鸟”；fly意为“苍蝇”；insect意为“昆虫”；worm意为“爬虫”。由第二段第五句中的“the fly to try hard enough to succeed in.”可知，b项正确。答案b4a. experiencebdirectioncforcedattempt解析experience意为“经验，经历”；direction意为“方向”；force意为“武力”；attempt意为“尝试”。根据上下文语境可知，苍蝇正在尝试穿过玻璃飞出去。答案d5a. thusbsocalthoughdhowever解析thus意为“因而”；so意为“所以”；although意为“虽然”；however意为“然而”。句意为：虽然苍蝇不断地尝试穿过玻璃窗，然而并不奏效。前后两句是转折关系。答案d6a. unusualblikelycimpossibledcommon解析unusual“不同寻常的”；likely“可能的”；impossible“不可能的”；common“寻常的”。由常识可知，苍蝇是不可能成功穿过玻璃飞出去的。答案c7a. diggingbbreakingcpushingdjumping解析dig“挖掘”；break“打破”；push“推”；jump“跳”。短语break through意为“突破，冲破”，符合语境。答案b8a. killbdiecliedstick解析kill“杀死”；die“死”；lie“撒谎，躺”；stick“粘贴”。由常识判断，如果苍蝇不断地撞击玻璃，就会死在那里。答案b9a. awaybfarcnearddistant解析away“距离远”；far“远的”；near“近的”；distant“远的”。away用在名词后，表示距离某地有多远，符合语境。答案a10a. dreamsbthinks ofcmissesdlongs for解析dream“梦想”；think of“考虑”；miss“怀念，错过”；long for“渴望”。句意为：只需十秒钟的飞行，这只苍蝇就能飞到外面它所渴望的世界。答案d11a. donebownedcwasteddplanned解析do“做，完成”；own“拥有”；waste“浪费”；plan“计划”。根据语境可知，它之前的努力都白费了，故c项符合语境。答案c12a. aimbtrapcnetdgoal解析aim“目的，目标”；trap“陷阱”；net“网”；goal“目的”。由第二段第四句中的“the struggle is part of the trap”可知，trap符合语境，即自我设置的陷阱。答案b13a. easybnecessarycharddobvious解析easy“轻松的，容易的”；necessary“必要的”；hard“艰难的”；obvious“明显的”。句意为：突破的可能性就在那里，是那么简单。答案a14a. attemptbanythingcstruggledsomething解析something“某事，某物”，常用于肯定句；anything“任何事物”，常用于否定句和疑问句。在表示请求、建议或征求意见的疑问句中常用something。答案d15a. thatbwhatcwhichdwhere解析that可引导定语从句，也可引导名词性从句；what引导名词性从句；which引导形容词性从句；where可引导定语从句和状语从句。从句中不缺任何成分，且句中先行词是idea，所以其后要用that来引导同位语从句，对idea进行补充说明。答案a16a. sensebdifferenceceffectdeffort解析sense“感觉，意识”，常和make构成短语，make sense意为“有意义”；difference“区别，不同”；effect“影响”；effort“努力”。句意为：毫无疑问，这种方法对这只苍蝇来说是有意义的。答案a17a. ofbfromcoffdto解析在solution的后面常跟to表示的不定式，是固定搭配。意为“解析法”。答案d18a. advicebsupportchopedpower解析advice“建议”；support“支持，支撑”；hope“希望”；power“力量”。此处与最后一段中的“if you_ _your hopes for a.”相照应，故用hope符合语境。答案c19a. riskbgetcmakedtake解析risk“冒险，冒的风险”；get“获得”；make“制作”；take“带走”。句意为：如果你冒险把你的希望放在比以往更艰难的突破上，你就可能有扼杀成功的机会。答案a20a. failbkillcachievedfulfill解析fail“失败”；kill“杀死”；achieve“获得，达到”；fulfill“执行，履行”由语境可知，此处应用kill。答案b完形填空。(2014江苏启东中学模拟)the song that has meant the most to me since i was the age of five，watching the movie

renaissance art and one is immediately reminded of the mysterious smile of leonardo da vincis mona lisa. the renaissance period had a deep effect on european culture development. having its beginnings in italy, by the 16th century, it had spread to the rest of europe. its influence was felt in different fields such as philosophy, literature, religion, science, politics, and, of course, art. the scholars of the renaissance period applied the humanist method in every field of study, and wanted human emotion and realism in art. renaissance scholars studied the ancient latin and greek texts, searching the monastic(修道院的)libraries of europe for works of ancient times that had become obscure, in their hunt for improving and perfecting their worldly knowledge. this was completely different from the religion that christianity(基督教)stressed. however, that does not mean that they refused christianity. in fact, much of the greatest works of the renaissance period was devoted to it, with the church supporting a lot of the works of renaissance art. however, there were slight changes in the manner in which the scholars began to treat religion, which affected the cultural life of the society, which in turn influenced the artists of that period and therefore was reflected in their art. in raphaels school of athens, for example, some well-known people were described as classical scholars, with leonardo da vinci being given as much importance as plato in his time. giotto di bondone, 12671337, a florentine, who is regarded as the greatest italian painter just earlier than the renaissance period, is thought to be the first artist who treated a painting as a window into space. however, it was only after the writings of filippo brunelleschi, 13771446, who is considered the first great builder of the italian renaissance, that perspective was formally accepted as an artistic technique. 【文章大意】文章介绍了文艺复兴的发源地意大利在当时的背景下的文化特色和相关艺术家在这个时期的作用。1. what makes italy stand out in a way in world history? a. its artists during the renaissance were numerous. b. it was the center of the european countries. c. it had leonardo da vincismona lisa. d. it was the home to the renaissance. 【解析】选d。推理判断题。第二段第二句话的beginnings in italy, by the 16th century, it had spread to the rest of europe说明意大利正是文艺复兴的发源地, 从而影响整个欧洲。2. the underlined word“obscure”in paragraph 3 most probably means“”. a. meaningless and hard to recognizeb. clear and meaningful to guide peoplec. unclear and difficult to understand or seed. easy to understand but having little meaning【解析】选c。词义猜测题。该题根据语境结合选项进行猜测。句中的the monastic说明这些资料的来源, 和宗教有关的应该是较难理解的, works of ancient times也说明了这一点。3. when was perspective officially received during the renaissance? a. after the completion of leonardo da vincis mona lisa. b. after leonardo da vincis being compared to plato. c. after giotto di bondones paintings were respected. d. after filippo brunelleschis completing his writings. 【解析】选d。细节理解题。最后一段的强调结构里的被强调部分就是本题的解题线索。4. the passage aims to tell us. a. italys renaissance art and artistsb. the famous artists in italys historyc. italys influence on the world in cultured. the hardships during the renaissance in italy【解析】选a。主旨大意题。文章是围绕着意大利在文艺复兴中的文化发展和相关的艺术家展开的。阅读下列短文,从每题所给的a、b、c和d项中,选出最佳选项。mr and mrs gordon were sitting on the sand, reading their magazines. mr gordon was too stingy(吝啬)to rent a chair. their
