没有听到应声 所以又 重复 了他的问题 4 A 从前面的动作 起身 跑出书房 接着 进入 起居室 into 是动态介词 此处相当于 and went into 5 B 从前面的动词 follow watch 以及 as her little behind 判断 他女儿看到他 赶紧 拐入 洗澡间 6 C 此处 corner 用作动词 表示 把 难住 走投无路 因为他女儿进入卫生间 所以把他给 难住了 7 D 根据下一句的意思 他女儿没有听他的话 拒绝 回来 8 A 因为她是一个三岁的小女孩 她用她妈妈的唇膏打扮自己 怕爸爸骂她 所以 慢慢地 走到她爸爸跟前 9 D 表示满脸都被唇膏 覆盖 涂 10 A 因为是个三岁的小孩 所以说话是一个字一个字地嘣 他爸爸听到的是她所嘣出来的 每个字 的声音 11 A 根据前面的 many times 来判断 她爸爸已经 告诉 她好多遍了 12 D

Around the world more and more people are 1 dangerous sports and activities Of course there have alwa ys been people who have 2 adventure those who have climbed the 3 mountains explored unknown pa rts of the world or 4 in small boats across the greatest oceans Now however there are people who look for an immediate pleasure from a 5 activity which may only last a few minutes or even 6 I would consider bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity You 7 from a high place ab out 200 meters above the ground with an elastic rope 8 to your ankles You 9 at up to 150 kilometers an hour until the rope stops you from 10 the ground It is said that 2 million people around the world have now 11 bungee jumping Other activities 12 most people would say are as dangerous as bungee jumpi ng 13 jumping from tall buildings and 14 into the sea from the top of high rocks Why do people take part in such activities as these Some psychologists 心理学家 suggest that it is because lif e in 15 societies has become safe and boring Not very long ago people s lives were constantly under 16 They had to go out and hunt for 17 and life was a continuous battle for survival Nowadays according to many people life offers 18 excitement They live and work in relatively safe con dition they buy food in shops and there are doctors and hospitals to 19 them if they become ill The answer for some of these people is to 20 danger in activities such as bungee jumping 1 A escaping fromB taking part inC going inD taking in 2 A looked upB looked intoC looked forD looked around 3 A lowestB highestC beautifulD wild 4 A sailedB swamC jumpedD crossed 5 A safeB excitedC funnyD dangerous 6 A yearsB secondsC hoursD days 7 A jumpB runC walkD cross 8 A followedB tiedC broughtD took 9 A goB runC fallD

exploreD find 答案与解析 1 B 从本段后面所举的例子来看 此处说的是越来越多的人正参加各种危险的运动 从事 应说 go in for 故 C 不对 2 C 上句说越来越多的人参加各种危险的运动 从 Of course 可推测此处说 也不乏有人参加冒险 3 B 从破折号来看 下文是通过例子来说明有人参加冒险活动 根据所举的几个例子来看 此处选 highest 才 能与 冒险 这个主题相吻合 并与 explored unknown parts of the world 等语意一致 4 A 从下面的 in small boats across the greatest oceans 看此处说的应是 乘船在大洋上航行 故选用 sail 5 D 此句中的 however 说明后面提到的运动与前面提到的不同 这里说的是有些人从持续时间很短的一项运 动中得到瞬间快乐 从下文来看 作者认为 bungee 就属于这种运动 也是很危险的 故用 dangerous 6 B 从前面的 who look for an immediate pleasure 及 which may only last a few minutes or even 等可 推测 此处说的是这项运动持续时间短 显然 hours days 和 years 不合语境 7 A 从这一段开始介绍 bungee 运动 根据下文介绍的 from a high place about 200 meters above the ground 来看 该运动是从离地面大约 200 米处望下跳 8 B 在往下跳时 运动员的脚踝要系在绳子上 也就是要把绳子栓在脚踝上 所以用 tied 9 C 从高处跳起 然后坠落下去 所以用 fall 10 D 此处介绍的是系绳子的目的 不让你撞到地上 11 A 根据下文看 世界上有很多人都已经尝试过蹦极这项运动 12 B 此处应用 which 引导非限制性定语从句 which 指代前面提到的 other activities 13 B 前面提到的 bungee 是从高处往地面跳 这里具体说从何处往下跳 一是从大楼往下跳 二是从高的岩石 上往海面跳 故此处应用 include 14 C 从下文的 into the sea 可看出是 跳水 故用 diving 15 B 从上下文来看 本文所介绍的活动是新兴的一项运动 也就是现代人所从事的活动 由此可推断此处选 modern 既说明 现代社会人们的生活很安全 枯燥 故许多人从事这项运动来寻找刺激 16 C 前面说现在人们生活舒适而乏味 与此相对照 此处说的是过去人们外出狩猎 生活就是持续的生存斗 争 故此处应选 danger 17 B 从 and life was a continuous battle for survival 等来看 此处说的是人们外出 猎取食物 故用 food 18 B 从后文可知 现在人们生活 工作在相对安全的环境下 与狩猎相比 现代人的生活少了刺激 所以也就 少了欢乐 故用 little 19 D 从 if they become ill 知 此处说的是 当生病时有大夫等来照看他们 故用 look after 20 A 此句是总结全文的话 从整篇文章来看 此处说的是人们在刺激的运动中寻找危险 四 I do a lot of management training each year for the Circle K Company Among the topic we 1 in our c lasses is the 2 of quality employees What has 3 you to stay long enough to

由于她的经理关心并给她儿子买棒球手套使得她继续留在该公司来看 我们 谈论的 话题是 留住好员工的问题 在下文中有 What has 3 you to stay long to become a manager 其中的 long 就是一个信号词 3 D 由下文可知 Cynthia 曾在该公司工作并同时想着找其他工作 不过后来发生的一件事让她在该公司安心工 作 并成为一名新经理 故此处用 caused force 意为 被迫 order 意为 命令 均不合语境 4 B 此处是对 我 提出问题的回答 即过了一会后 Cynthia 就以自己的切身体会回答了这个问题 take the ques tion 的字面意思为 接受了这个问题 也就是 回答了这个问题 5 B 从下文可知是一个棒球手套使她下决心留在这里并努力工作的 6 D 上文说 Cynthia 已是个新经理 此处讲述的是她过去在那儿做临时工时的事情 可见这是以前的事情 故 用 used used to do sth 意为 过去常常做 7 C 前面说她在那儿做临时工 后面说她在找其他的事情 故用 while 表示她当时不稳定的心理 8 B 由下文 I overheard you 13 to your son yesterday 可知 此处指的是她接到了儿子的 电话 9 C 从后面的内容特别是 it is to explain things to kids 来看 此处用 explained 10 C 儿子要棒球手套 可她却不能给儿子买 因为第一张支票要付账单来看 此处说的是 作为一个单身妇女 钱相对来说很紧张 11 B 从后面的 have to go for paying bills 来看 此处应用 check check 意为 支票 在这里指 第一份工 资 12 C 前面提到了一天 此处指儿子打电话来的 第二天早晨 应用 the next morning 13 B 商店经理无意间听到了 Cynthia 与儿子打电话的内容 所以他才买了棒球手套送来 14 C 从 She 9 that as a single woman 10 was tight and her first 11 would have to go for paying bills 来看 这是她苦口婆心地向儿子解释家中的困难 同时由 Cynthia 向儿子说的这些话知道儿子当时非 常想要手套 由此可推断此处用 hard 为好 即 向儿子解释这些很困难 15 D 16 D 从 good people like you as we would like to we do care 等来看 此处经理的话的意 思是 你知道像你这样的好人 我们不能想给你多少就给多少 17 B 前面说我们不能想给像你这样的好员工多少钱就给多少钱 与后面的 我们确实很关心 在乎 有转折关系 故用 but 18 D 从上下文知 钱不是最重要的 而关心 同情和爱心才是最重要的 此处经理的意思是想让她明白 好员 工对他们来说是多么的重要 这才符合逻辑 19 A 由经理给 Cynthia 的儿子买手套所体现的同情和爱心表明 人们更关注的是被关心 而不是他得到了多少 钱 20 D 由 Cynthia 的亲身经历可知 对于雇员来说 雇主的关心比多给工资要重要的多 这也可从 thoughtfulnes s empathy and love of the store manager 看出来 五 Christopher Reeve is best known as the man who played Superman always fighting against the forces of
