fine”底线，是一个固定搭配。故B正确。42A【精析】本题考查上下文理解。接下来两人继续讨论其他话题，所以“discuss符合句意。又因为“get around to”后面应接动名词，所以是“discussing”。故A正确。43C【精析】本题考查名词词义辨析及上下文理解。下文提到司机曾经是罪犯，所以他的背景成为别人不录用他的原因。A选项“知识”；B选项“教育”；C选项“背景”；D选项“年龄”。故C正确。44A【精析】本题考查副词词义辨析及上下文理解。因为很少有人会提起自己不光彩的一面，所以诚实地说起他的过去最符合上下文。A选项“诚实地”；B选项“生气地”；D选项“相当地，公平地”；D选项“秘密地”。故A正确。45C【精析.本题考查形容词词义辨析及上下文理解。大多数人不能接受有犯罪背景的人，所以不会录用他们。“0ut”有出局的含义，符合上下文。故C正确。46C【精析】本题考查形容词词义辨析及上下文理解。上文提到他已经改过自薪，下文自然是说好几年都没有犯过案了，只有clean有“守法的，无犯罪记录的”的含义。故C正确。47B【精析】本题考查形容词词义辨析及上下文理解。这是一句疑问句，司机想知道为什么作者得知他曾是一名罪犯却没有表现出紧张担心的情绪。A选项“好奇的”；B选项“担心的”；C选项“勇敢的”；D选项“困惑的”。故B正确。48A【精析】本题考查名词词义辨析及上下文理解。上文中司机提出了一个问题，空格处应该是作者考虑如何回答。A选项“回答”；B选项“借口，理由”；C选项“位置，职位”；D选项“理由”。故A正确。49D【精析】本题考查上下文理解。上文说到司机想找新的工作，但是很困难。此处作者说明开始新生活的不易。故D正确。50C【精析】本题考查固定搭配。“the rest of”是固定搭配，指“余下的，剩下的”。故C正确。51B【精析】本题考查动词短语辨析。“move in”表示搬进，迁进；“move down”表示下降；“move around”表示走来走去；只有“move on”表示继续前进。故B正确。52B【精析】本题考查固定搭配。作者表示可以继续寻找司机感兴趣的工作。“be interested in”为固定搭配，表示对感兴趣。故B正确。53A【精析】本题考查形容词词义辨析及上下文理解。对于作者善意的语言，司机表达出的情感不可能是紧张，羞愧或厌倦0 A选项“惊讶的”比较符合文意；B选项“紧张的“；C选项“羞愧的”；D选项“无聊的，烦人的”。故A正确。，54，B【精析】本题考查固定搭配及上下文理解。司机认为作者的话对他很有帮助。而且“make sense”是固定搭配，表示“有道理，有意义”。故B正确。55D【精析】本题考查名词词义辨析及上下文理解。司机向作者表示感谢“希望能再次见到你”，所以说会记得作者的善意比较符合上下文。A选项“机灵，敏捷”；B选项“渴望，热心”；C选项“严肃，认真”；D选项“仁慈，好意”。故D正确。完形填空2

following”的句型中，谓语的数根据之后表语部分的数量来判断。由于下文提及的是“Soille tips”，故应填be动词的复数形式。57to early【精析】本题考查强调句型。“it is+aaj+to do sth”，所以应使用所给单词的不定式to CalTy。58worn【精析】本题考查被动语态。因为that从句作“clothes”的后置定语从句，所以应使用动词“weal”的被动语态，即wom。59pants【精析】本题考查名词复数。上文提到的是“0ne pair of”，之后的裤子在英语中使用的是复数形式，故填pants。60personal【精析】本题考查词性转换。空格处需要的是形容词，修饰后面的中心名词“item”，所以将所给名词person转换为形容词personal。61So【精析】本题考查固定搭配。因为主从句是因果关系，“SO that”表示“结果为，以便”，故应填So。62lost【精析】本题考查词性转换。句子缺少表语部分，所以应该将所给动词转换为分词形式，故填lost。63earliest【精析】本题考查形容词级的转换和上下文理解。根据下文the ftrst one”判断，此处应该是指最早一班飞机，所以应填“early”的最高级形式earliest。64a【精析】本题考查冠词的选择和上下文的理解。下旬中有提示“a neck cushion”，所以空格处应填不定冠词a。65from【精析】本题考查动词短语。“prevent sbfrom doing sth”表示“阻止或预防某人做某事”，故填from。短文理解1阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.、B.、c.、D.四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Andy lived high in the Rocky Mountains.He hunted(打猎) wild animals there.He also took other men hunting.That was his work.One day a letter brought Andy a new job.This job changed both his feeling about animals and his way of hunting.The letter said: I want to write a story about bighorn sheep.I need pictures to go with my story.Will you get pictures of the sheep for me?Andy s two sons wanted their father to take the job.We will help you ! they said.Bighorn sheep are very wild.Andy knew it would be hard to get pictures.But why not try? they said.For days, Andy and his sons tried to get pictures.They did not want the sheep to hear them or see them, so they walked softly.They hid behind rocks, but the sheep always ran away.Then one day, Andy and his sons walked around a big rock.They met some sheep face to face.But the sheep didn t run ! Now I know why the sheep run away, Andy said.They run because we come up behind them.From now on, we will stay where they can see us.The next day, Andy saw some sheep fight out in the open.He and his sons walked toward them.The men did not try to hide, but they did walk slowly.They knew that any fast move will frighten them away.Don t look fight at the sheep, Andy said.Wild animals do not like to be looked at.They will run away. The men looked off to this side and to that side, but they walked closer and closer.And soon they were close enough to get good clear pictures.They made good friends with the wild sheep and sent many fine pictures to the writer for his story.Since then, they have never hunted the bighorn sheep again.21.What was the new job Andy got?A 1 to hunt bighorn sheep.B.to write a story of bighorn sheep.C.to protect bighorn sheep.D.to take pictures of bighorn sheep.22.What is the right way to get close to bighorn sheep?A.Look directly at them.B.Walk slowly to their faces.C.Run to them from one side.D.Follow them from behind.23.What did Andy gain from his new job?A.He won respect from his children.B.He was well paid by the story writer.C.He knew better how to use a camera.D.He learned more about bighorn sheep.参考译文Textl安迪住在洛基山的高处。他在山上捕猎野生动物，也带其他人打猎。那是他的工作。一天，一封信给安迪带来了一份新的工作。这个工作不但改变了他对动物的看法，也改变了他的狩猎方式。信中写道：“我想写一篇关于大角羊的故事。我需要为故事配上图片。请问你可以为我拍摄大角羊的照片吗?”安迪的两个儿子希望父亲接受这份工作。“我们会帮助你的!”他们说。大角羊野性很强。安迪知道给大角羊拍摄照片会很困难。“但是为什么不试试呢?”他的儿子们说。几天来。安迪和他的儿子们努力尝试拍摄大角羊的照片。他们不希望被大角羊发现，所以他们走路很轻。他们躲在岩石的后面，但是大角羊总会逃掉。然而有一天，安迪和他的儿子们走到一块大岩石附近。他们和几只大角羊撞个正着。但是这些羊并没有逃跑!“现在我知道那些羊为什么跑掉了，”安迪说，“它们逃跑是因为我们悄悄地跟在它们后面。从现在开始。我们就待在它们能看见我们的地方。”第二天，安迪看见羊群就站在开阔处。他和他的儿子们朝羊群走过去。他们没有试着躲藏，但是走得非常慢。他们知道只要稍微走快一点都会吓跑羊群。“不要直视那些羊，”安迪说，“野生动物不喜欢被盯着看。他们会逃跑的。”他们朝这边看看朝那边瞅瞅，越来越接近羊群。一会儿，他们就走到足够给羊群拍摄清晰照片的位置了。他们跟这些野生羊群成了朋友，还帮那位作家拍摄了很多精彩的照片。从那时起，他们再也没有捕猎过大角羊。21D【精析l细节题。题干意为“安迪得到了一份什么新工作?”文章第二段最后“The letter said：l want to write a story about bighorn sheep1 need pictures to go with my storyWill you get pictures of the sheep for me?”提到，安迪收到了一封信，信中作家请求他帮忙拍摄大角羊的照片。文章的最后一段也提到他们帮作家拍摄了很多照片。故D正确。22B【精析】细节题。题干意为“接近大角羊最好的方法是什么?”根据第七段第一句安迪的口述“Dont look fight at the sheep，”可知。不能直视羊群，所以排除A。第六段最后一句“They knew that any fast move will frighten them away”说明走路速度过快也会吓跑羊群，更不用说跑了，所以排除c。第四段最后一句“They hid behind rocks，but the sheep always fan away”说明跟在羊群后面，羊群也会逃跑，故排除D。结合第五段及第六段内容可知，慢慢地从正面接近大角羊是正确的方式，故B正确。23D【精析】归纳题。题干意为“安迪从这份新工作中收获了什么?”文章第一段中提及这份工作带给安迪的变化，最后一段也说明他们和大角羊成了朋友，安迪通过这份工作对大角羊有了更多的了解。A、B、C三项在文中都没有体现，故D正确。短文理解1Everywhere in the world, plants and animals live together.Some animals eat plants they live with, Some plants stay alive because many plant-eating animals have natural enemies that eat them.Rich soil for the roots of plants is produced by worms and other very small animals that live underground.Green plants feed animals and people.It takes all the plants and animals living together to keep the earth a good place to live in.Plants and animals trade with each other.They trade for things they both need to stay alive.Animals breathe and the air gets changed inside their bodies.When they breathe the air out again there s something called carbon(碳) in it.Animals can t use this air again.But plants need carbon.The plants trade fresh air for the carbon they need.Plants make food from carbon and water.They use sunlight for this work, just as a machine uses gas or electricity to keep running.The plants store the food they make inside themselves.But what do the plants get in return? Many things.Plants make food from the carbon and other things that come from animals bodies.Insects like bees carry pollen(花粉) from one flower to another and the pollen forms seeds.Birds and other animals eat the fruit in which seeds grow and often drop the seeds where they can grow up into new plants.So animals help the growth of new prants.24.Which of the following is the closest in meaning with trade with in paragraph 2 ?A.live forB.give to and take fromC.stay withD.teach and learn from25.What is compared to electricity in paragraph 47A.Sunlight.B.Water.C.Air. D.Carbon.26.What is the main idea of the text?A.Living things are connected in nature.B.Some animals stay in plants for safety.C.Animals and plants are of different types.D.Some plants can stay alive by themselves.参考译文在世界的每个地方，动植物都是生活在一起的。有些动物以吃植物为生。一些植物得以存活是因为食草动物会被其他天敌动物捕食。植物根部所需的肥沃土壤得益于蠕虫和其他生存于地下的非常微小的动物。绿植哺育着动物以及人类。动植物的共存使得地球成为适宜居住的好地方。动植物之间互相给养。他们互相交换所需物品以维持生存。动物呼吸空气，并在体内产生变化。当它们呼出气体时，其中包含一种被称为“碳”的物质。动物不能再用它们呼出的气体。但是，植物需要碳气体。植物吸入它们生长所需要的碳气体，呼出新鲜空气。植物通过碳和水生成食物。它们利用阳光完成这项工作，就如同机器借助汽油或电力维持运转。植物将生成的食物储存于它们的体内。但是，植物可以获得怎样的回报呢?很多的回报。植物从动物产生的碳和其他物质中生成食物，像蜜蜂这样的昆虫，它们将花粉从一朵花传到另一朵花，而这个花粉可以形成种子。鸟类和其他动物在种子生长出的地方吃到果实，又将种子带到可以让它们生长的地方。所以说，动物帮助了植物的再生。24B【精析】推断题。题干意为“下面哪个选项与第二段中的词组trade wim意思最为接近?”由第二段最后一句“They trade forthings they both need to stay alive”可知，他们互相交换所需物品以维持生存。故可以推断出划线部分的含义应该是互相交换的意思。故B正确。25A【精析】细节题。题干意为“与第四段中的电力作对比的是什么?”由第四段第二句话中的“They use sunlight for this work”可知，它们利用阳光完成这项工作，由此可以看出“电力”是用来和“阳光”作对比的，故A正确。26A【精析】归纳题。题干意为“文章的中心思想是什么?”全文基本可以分成两个部分。第一部分说明一些动物靠食草为生，植物为动物提供了生存养料。第二部分说明植物也可以借助动物获取一定的生存养料。所以两者是相辅相成的。故A正确。短文理解1It is reported that bags are getting bigger all the time, and that there are more bags per person on the street today than at any other time in history.If this is true, possible explanations could include the wide use of small electric and electronic gadgets(装置), a reading-material explosion, a popular interest toward tight or pocketless clothing, or cheap bag-making labor overseas.But, much as nature finds ways-such as disease-to control overpopulation, city life has thrown up impediments(障碍) to bags.to enter many public buildings, theatres, ballparks, and perhaps even underground railway stations, you must go through a search or go bagless.The city has countless bag rules.It is hard to keep them all straight, and youre never sure, when leaving home for the day, whether it might be a bad idea to bring one along.Last week, the New York Public Library got in the game.Students, researchers, writers, historians, and anyone else who has got used over the years to treating the vast Rose Main Reading Room as an office or a reading room came up against a new rule.You are no longer allowed to bring a bag larger than eleven inches by fourteen inches into the library.If you walk in with one, you must leave it at the coat check.You may keep its contents with you, however, and the library provides big clear plastic bags for them.You return them when you come back for your own bag.What the library is trying to prevent, in this case, is people taking things out, rather than bringing things in.A librarian said on the second day, It s a big change for people who used come and bring in half their flats.The people who use the library responsibly will continue to do so.The people who steal will continue to get away with it, if they really want to.27.What does the writer mainly talk about?A.The history of the bag rules.B.The importance of using libraries.C.Different bags used in our daily life.D.The use of bags and the rules against it.28.The bag rules in many public buildings require people toA.leave the places baglessB.pay for bringing in bagsC.have their bags examinedD.use big clear plastic bags29.What is the purpose of the new rule at the New York Public Library?A.to change people s way of reading.B.to help people better use the library.C.to prevent people stealing from the library.D.to stop people from bringing in dangerous things.30.How is the effect of the new rule according to the librarian?A.Excellent.B.Limited.C.Harmful.D.Unclear.参考译文据报道，包一直在增大，而且现今在街上人们手中包的数量比历史上任何时候都要多。如果属实的话，可以将原因归结为广泛使用的电器类或电子类产品，大量的阅读材料，以及紧身衣或是没有口袋的服装的流行，又或者是由于海外低成本的包袋制造劳动力。但是，如同大自然利用疾病来控制过量人口一样，城市化的生活为包的使用设置了很多障碍。携带包进入很多公共场所，诸如剧院、球场，或许还有地铁站时都需要通过检查或选择不带包进入。城市里有数不尽的包的使用规则。想要一直带着包很困难，而且出门之前你永远不能确定只带一个包会不会是个糟糕的主意。上个星期，纽约市图书馆也实行了相关规定。学生、研究者、作家、史学家以及其他那些习惯于将玫瑰主阅览室当作办公室或者普通阅览室使用并且使用了很多年的读者们遭遇到了新规定。新规规定不允许读者携带超过l4英寸长、11英寸宽的包进入图书馆。如果携带有超过此尺寸的包，请放置于衣帽间。但是请随身携带包内私人物品，图书馆可以提供大号的透明塑料袋用于放置物品。请读者于离开时取回自己的包并同时归还塑料袋。这种情况更多的是为了预防有人将图书资料带离图书馆，而不是担心他们带进的物品。新规实施的第二天，一位图书馆管理人员表示，“对于那些习惯于随身携带很多物品的人来说，这是个很大的变化。负责任的读者将会支持这一规定，然而此规定并不能有效制止那些偷书者。”27D【精析】主旨题。题干意为“作者主要讲述的是什么?”全文述说了包袋使用的现状，接着又说明在城市中存在很多不允许携带包袋的地方或场合D项符合题意。文中其他三项在文中均没有体现，故D正确。28C【精析】细节题。题于意为“在许多公共场所，包的使用规则要求人们。”由文章第二段第二句“to enter many publicbuildings，theatres，ballparks，and perhaps even underground railway stationsYou must go through a search of go bagless”可知，想要进入一些公共场所要么不带包，如果带了包都要接受检查。故C正确。29C【精析】细节题。题于意为“纽约市图书馆实施新规则的目的是什么?”由文章最后一段第一句“What the library is trying to prevent，in this case，is people taking things out，rather than bringing things in”可知，图书管新规的目的是为了防止个别人未经允许带出图书资料。故C正确。30B【精析】细节题。题于意为“图书馆理员认为新规则的效果如何?”由最后一段最后一句中的“The people who steal will confinue to get away with it，if they really want to”可知，图书管理人员认为新规对于不同的人有不同的影响，但是那些真心想偷取图书资料的人不会受到太多的制约，所以新规的作用是有限的。故B正确。2016年3月全国英语等级考试二级真题及答案(补全文章)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。You might be surprised to know that bicycles have existed for about two hundred years, but no one is sure who first made this popular two-wheeled machine.31_ The front wheel was much bigger than the back one, and also there werent any pedals (踏板), Riders had to move themselves forward by pushing their feet against the ground.32_ In 1879 an Englishman had the idea of connecting them to the back wheel with a chain.Gears(此轮), which made things much easier for those cycling uphill, first appeared in the 1890s.There are now about one billion bicycles in the world. 33_ They have to compete with cars on the streets of all the world s cities, and the two forms of transport don t always mix well.In London in 2005, for example, over 300 cyclists were either killed or seriously hurt in accidents.Because bicycles are much more environmentally friendly than cars, now many governments encourage people to ride rather than drive.34_ The number of yearly journeys made by bicycle in London has increased 50% over the last five years.How
