Unit 1 The measure of a mans real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out. Thomas Macaulay Some thirty years ago, I was studying in a public school in New York. One day, Mrs. Nantette ONeill gave an arithmetic _1_ to our class. When the papers were _2_ she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the _3_ mistakes throughout the test. There is nothing really new about _4_ in exams. Perhaps that was why Mrs. ONeill _5_ even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to _6_ after class. I was one of the twelve. Mrs. ONeill asked _7_ questions, and she did not _8_ us either. Instead, she wrote on the blackboard the _9_ words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to _10_ these words into our exercise-books one hundred times. I dont _11_ about the other eleven boys. Speaking for _12_ I can say: it was the most important single _13_ of my life. Thirty years after being _14_ to Macaulays words, they _15_ seem to me the best yardstick(准绳), because they give us a _16_ to measure ourselves rather than others. _17_ of us are asked to made _18_ decisions about nations going to war or armies going to battle. But all of us are called _19_ daily to make a great many personal decisions. _20_ the wallet, found in the street, be put into a pocket _21_ turned over to the policeman? Should the _22_ change received at the store be forgotten or _23_? Nobody will know except _24_. But you have to live with yourself, and it is always _25_ to live with someone you respect. 1.

C。mark 用作名词，表示“分数”，用作动词，表示“给打分”。本句中的 marked 表示“打分”或“批改”。3. C。老师认为其中12个男生舞弊，其依据就是他们试卷上的错误“完全一样(exactly the same)”。4. B。/ 5. A。此处的语境是：由于当时考试舞弊(cheating)并不是什么新鲜事，所以老师对此只字未提(didnt even say a word about it)。6. C。remain 在此表示“留下”。7. A。注意下文的 noteither(也没有)，它表明上文应该表示否定意义。8. D。此句语境为：老师既没有质问我们，也没有处罚(scold)我们。（这是为下文作铺垫）9. A。根据本句后面的 by Thomas Macaulay 可知，此处提到的就是文章开头的那句话，故填 above。10. D。根据常识和比较四个选项，可知此题 D 最佳。11. B。比较四个选项，只有 know 与空格后的介词 about 搭配在此合符语境。12. A。由于不知道其他同学的情况，所以就谈“我自己”(myself)。13. C。此处句意为“这是我一生中最重要的一课(lesson)”。14. D。请注意 introduce sb to sth 这一结构，不要把它直译为“把某人介绍给某物”，其实际意思是“使某人认识或了解某事物”，其被动式 be introduced to sth 表示(某人)认识或了解某事物。15. B。根据上下文的意思和作者的在文中的态度可知，老师要我们抄写的 Macaulay 的这句话，对我来说现在“仍然(still)”是最好的准绳。16. A。way 的意思是“方法”，a way to measure oneself 在此表示“检测某人行为的方法”。17. B。/ 18. C。根据一般常识：关于国家与军队参战这样的决定不一般人能作出的(故用 few of us 与语境较吻合)，同时这样的决定显然属于重大的(great)决定。19. D。此处语境是：我们虽然不作出国家或军队参战这样的重要决定，但我们每天都要作出一些个人的小决定。句中涉及的句型 call upon sb to do sth 表示要求某人做某事。20. A。注意第 20 至 23 题所涉及的两个句子的句型相为相似，注意互相参照。第 20 空填 should 即可从第 22 空前的 should 得到启示。 21. B。此题填 or 可从第 23 空前的 or 得到启示。22. A。extra change received at the store 在此指在商店被多找的零钱。此句意为：在商店被多找(extra)的零钱是应该被忘记(forgotten)还是应该退给(returned)店主？23. D。比较四个选项并结合一般常识可知 D 最佳。24. B。根据下文 But you have to live with yourself 可知此处应选 you，否则上下文人称不一致。25. C。根据本句句意可推知答案。Unit 2Todd was working at his gas station(加油站) at night when he heard over the radio that a _1_ in Long Island had been _2_ by an armed man who had killed the night guard and got away with $150,000. “One hundred and fifty thousand,” Todd whistled. Heres a fellow who just _3_ into a bank and helps himself _4_ so much money. Todd thought of the _5_ with which he managed to get the amount of money he _6_ to start his gas station. So many papers to _7_. So much money to pay back. The news _8_ twenty minutes later. The gunman had _9_ a car for a ride, and then _10_ out the driver. He was possibly _11_ the Southern State Parkway in a white Ford. License plate(车牌) number LJR 1939. The _12_ of the announcer continued: “_13_ out for white cars. Dont pick up _14_, and all you folks in gas stations better not do _15_ to a white Ford car.” Todd stood up and _16_ to see out into the cold night. It was dark but Todd _17_ the Southern State Parkway was out there. Just _18_, Todd saw the headlights coming at him and a car pulled in for _19_. There it was, a white Ford. He saw the _20_, LJR 1939. “What should I do?” Todd had to make a quick _21_. “Yes, sir?” Todd _22_ while making up his mind for sure. “_23_ her up,” the man said sounding like any other _24_. When the tank(油箱) was full, Todd quickly turned round and pointed a gun at the man. “Hands up _25_ get out.” 1. A. storeB. bankC. stationD. house2.

B。根据下文的 Heres a fellow who just walks into a bank and中的 bank 可知答案。2. D。比较四个选项，只有 break into(闯入，破门而入)的意思在此最合语境。3. A。just walk into a bank and 指抢劫犯得钱之容易，与接下来说的 Todd 自己为开一家加油站筹钱之艰辛形成对照。其余几个选项 looks(看)，marches(行军)，drives(开车)在些均不合语境。4. C。help oneself to sth 有两个主要用法：一是表示自助吃东西(尤其用作请人吃东西时的客套话)，二是表示擅自取用某物或偷某物。5. B。与上文讲到的劫犯来钱之容易相对比，Todd 为了筹钱办这个加油站遇到了不少困难(difficulty)。6. D。he needed 是定语从句，修饰 the amount of money。指为办加油站所需资金。7. C。根据常识，借钱肯定要自己提出申请，然后经有关部门审批。所以这里说 so many papaers to sing。8. A。由于句子主语是 news(收音机所报道的消息)，比较四个选项，只有 A(continued)、B(lasted)两项与句子主语较吻合，但 lasted与其后的 twenty minutes later 搭配显然语境不通。9. D。根据故事情节，凶手杀人抢钱后不可能去 bought 或borrowed 一辆汽车来逃走，至于选项 C (stolen)则与下文提到的 and then pushed out the driver 不符。10. D。凶手拦车的目的是要乘车逃跑，所以他把司机“推”(pushed)出车外。11. C。head for 为动词短语，其意为“前往”、“赶往”、“逃往”（使用时通常用进行时态）。12. D。注意空格后作定语的介词短语 of the announcer，由于 Todd 是在听收音机，也就是在职听 the voice of the announcer。13. A。look out for 为固定短语，意为“留心”、“留意”。14. B。比较四个选项再结合一般常识可知答案。15. C。do service to 的意思是“为做服务”，这里指给汽车加油。16. A。根据常识可知，这是 Todd 的一种本能反应，即听到收音机上报道的消息后，本能在站起来往外看。17. B。从下文看，凶手最终还是来到了他的加油站，这说明前面报道的凶手逃走的 the Southern State Parkway 就在 Todd 加油站的附近一带，所以尽管天很黑，他仍然 knew the Southern State Parkway was out there。18. A。just then 意为“就在此时”，即就在 Todd 往外看着“发呆”的时候。19. C。从下文看，这辆车是前来加油(gas)。20. B。根据上文的 License plate number LJR 1939 以及本后面的LJR 1939，可知此处应填 number。21. A。make a decision 意为“作决定”，与前面的 What should I do 为同一方面的意思。22. D。根据前面的问句 “Yes, sir?” 可知，此处应填 asked。23. B。fill up 是固定短语，意为“装满”、“填满”。句中的 her 指 the car。24. C。凶手强作镇静，讲话的声音装得与其他司机(driver)讲话的声音没有两样。25. B。根据 hands up(举起手来)和 get out(出来)这两个短语的含义，可知此处只有填 and 最合句意。Unit 3Ella Fant was a middle-aged lady who lived with her only son John in a small house. She _1_ John very much. In her _2_ he couldnt do anything _3_. Every morning she would give him breakfast _4_ bed and bring him the papers to _5_.

A. sightB. orderC. mindD. stepUnit 3【答案与解析】本文主要讲叙 Ella Fant 因为过分溺爱和相信自己的儿子所引出的一个滑稽故事。1. D。根据下文讲到的 Ella Fant 对儿子的细心照顾可推知她非常 loved 自己的儿子。2. B。in ones eyes 为习语，意为“在某人的心目中”、“在某人看来”。3. A。比较四个选项，结合 Llla Fant 对儿子过于偏爱，可知选项 A 最佳。4. C。in bed 为固定词组，意为“在床上”。每天早上都端饭让儿子在床上吃这充分体现了 Fant 对儿子的溺爱，为下文作铺垫。5. B。to read 为修饰 the papers 的定语，两者为动宾关系。6. A。这是作者在反面衬托：不是 John 太懒不工作。7. D。指 John 曾经试做过几个 jobs (下文有具体介绍)。8. C。根据下文可知，John 每做一项工作都要犯一些很“低级”的错误。此处填 break，指他作为窗户清洁时打碎玻璃。注意作者用 in first week, managed to, at least 等所表达的语气。9. C。根据下文的 on his second day a passenger stole his bag with all the fares collected 可知，他 became 一名公共汽车售票员。10. A。on his second day 指“在他上班的第二天”。11. B。even 表示“甚至”，表示强调。12. C。because 引出失去邮递员工作的原因。13. D。根据上文所列举的 John 所遭遇的一连串失败，可以推知此处应填 no。 14. D。由于没有适合的工作可做，所以最后“决定”参军。 15. A。根据下文提到的表示结果的 that she told the news to all her neighbours，可以推知 Mrs. Fant 对儿子参军一事很激动(excited)。16. C。结合上文，同时比较四个选项，news(消息)在此最合适。17. B。ever 在此表示“曾经”，在此指“曾经有过的最优秀的士兵”。18. C。when 引导定语从句修饰 the great day。19. A。根据作者对 Mrs. Fant 整体描述，尤其是她的 He is going to be the best soldier there ever was, I can tell you 可以推知，这是一位 proud mother。20. B。Ella Fant 一大早就赶进城，其目的是想在人群中找到一个好位置(position)。21. D。与 John 一起在队伍中接受检阅的应是他的 fellow soldiers (战友)。22. A。couldnt help doing sth 是固定表达，其意为“忍不住做某事”。这里指的是当人们看到只有 John 一个人的步伐与大家不一致的时候，忍不住嘲笑他。23. B。由于 Ella Fant 过分相信自己的儿子，认为做什么事都只有她的儿子才是最棒的，所以即使在自己的儿子步伐与大家不一致时，她还认为是别人的步伐与她儿子的不一致，并高喊 Isnt he the best! 由此可推知，此时的 Ella Fant 心中恐怕只有 happiness。24. A。根据后一句 Theyre all out of step except my John! 可知，此处应 them，以保持前后人称一致。25. D。out of pace 意为“步伐不一致”，注意联系上文的 laughing at the one who couldnt keep pace with the others。Unit 4People of Burlington are being disturbed by the sound of bells. Four students from Burlington College of Higher Education are in the bell tower of the _1_ have made up their minds to _2_ the bells nonstop for two weeks as a protest (抗议) against heavy trucks which run _3_ through the narrow High Street.“They not only make it _4_ to sleep at night, but they are _5_ damage to our houses and shops of historical _6_,” said John Norris, one of the protesters.“_7_ we must have these noisy trucks on the roads,” said Jean Lacey, a biology student. “Why dont they build a new road that goes _8_ the town? Burlington isnt much more than a _9_ village. Its streets were never _10_ for heavy traffic.” Harry Fields also studying _11_ said they wanted to make as much _12_ as possible to force the _13_ to realise what every body was having to _14_. “Most of them dont _15_ here anyway,” he said, “They come in for meetings and that, and the Town Hall is soundproof(隔音), _16_ they probably dont _17_ the noise all that much. Its high time they realized the _18_.” The fourth student, Liza Vernum, said she thought the public were _19_ on their side, and even if they werent they soon would be._20_ asked if they were _21_ that the police might come to _22_ them.“Not really,” she said, “Actually we are _23_ bell-ringers. I mean we are assistant bell-ringers for the church. There is no _24_ against practising.” I _25_ the church with the sound of the bells ringing in my ears.1. A. collegeB. villageC. townD. church2.

D。若不通读全文，此题很难选择。此题的答题依据是第23空后的 I mean we are assistant bell ringers for the church。 2. C。ring the bells 意为“敲钟”。答题依据是第23空后的bell-ringers。3. B。从下文的 They make it difficult to sleep at night 可推知答案选 B。短语 day and night 的意思是“日夜”。4. B。既然四名大学生要敲钟抗议，说明这些卡车噪得市民夜晚难(difficult)以入睡。5. A。do damage to 是固定词组，其意为“对造成危害”。6. C。historical interest 指“历史名胜”。7. A。比较四个选项，A 最合适，if 在此引出假设条件。8. D。学生建议新修道路绕(round)镇而过，而不是穿(through)该镇而过。9. C。这里说的是该镇是一个比村庄大不了多少的小镇。也正因为如此，所以上面讲到的“要绕镇修路”是可行的。10. B。be meant for 是习语，意为“为某一目的而安排或适合于做某事”。如：These chairs are meant for guests. 这些椅子是为客人们安排的。11. C。根据信息词 also studying 和前面一段中的 a biology student 可推知，Harry Fields 是学“生物学”的。12. D。根据文章第 1 段的交待(四名大学生敲钟抗议)可知答案选 D。make as much noise as possible 意为“尽可能制造噪音”。13. C。制造噪音的目的是为了迫使政府意识到目前声音污染的现状。14. A。stand 意为“忍受、经受”。15. B。下文说到“他们进城来是为了开会之类”，由此可推知，“大多数的官员不住在城里”。16. B。so 表示因果关系。17. A。由于大多数官员不住在城里，且市政大厅又是隔音，所以知官员们不会注意到(notice)噪音。18. D。比较四个选项可知 D 最佳。19. C。由于四名大学生敲钟抗议城里的噪音污染，这是件对大家有益的事，所以从情理上看，“公众大部分会站在他们一边(支持他们)”。20. A。根据文章最后一句可知“我”(I)是采访此事的记者。21. B。根据常识可知选项 B 最合语境。22. D。stop 表示“制止”。23. A。根据后面的 I mean we are assistant bell-ringers for the church 可知，此题填 proper 最合适。24. D。四名之所以不怕警察来制止他们，是因为并没有法律(law)规定不准 assistant bell-ringers 练习敲钟。25. A。采访结束，作者离开(left)教堂，但钟声还在耳边鸣响。 Unit5He has been called the missing link. Half-man, half-beast. He is supposed to live in the highest mountain in the world - Mount Everest.
