41-45.BDAAD

46-50.BCABC

51-55.CCBAD试题分析：本文属于记叙文，如果我们要成功，就需要有详细的个人成长计划，在Kurt的影响之下，我和妻子在一起成长，取得了很好的个人成就。41.B考查上下文串联。动词calculate计算，估算；listen听；drink喝；explain解释；我讲了十几分钟自己的个人努力及成就，Kurt在耐心的听我说。故B正确。42.D考查副词辨析。副词eagerly急切地；gradually逐渐地；gratefully感激地；finally最后，终于；耐心地听我讲了很长时间，最后他笑着对我说：对于个人成长你并没有计划，是吧？故D正确。43.A考查动词辨析。动词admit承认；interrupt打断；apologize道歉；complain抱怨；“Kurt笑着对我说：对于个人成长你并没有计划，是吧？”这是一个否定的反义疑问句，在回答的时候“no”翻译为“是的”。说明我承认自己并没有个人成长计划。故A项正确。44.A考查形容词辨析。形容词automatic自动的；slow缓慢的；independent独立的；changing不断变化的；Kurt告诉我成长并不是一个自动的过程，一定要有计划性，有计划的个人成长才是有效的成长。从那以后我意识到自己在这方面的缺乏并作出改变。BCD三项与语义不搭配。45.D考查动词辨析。动词confuse使...困惑；inform通知；please使...高兴；取悦；hit击中；打动；触动；Kurt的话触动了我，我的确没有有意识地做一些事情让自己变得更好。故D项正确。46.B考查介词辨析。介词onloan暂借，出借的；onpurpose故意地；onsale降价出售；onbalance总之；他的话让我意识到自己的确没有有意地做一些让自己更好的事情。故B项正确。47.C考查上下文串联。根据文章55空Itwasa

55

decision.可知我做出了一个决定：要为我的生活做一个个人的成长计划。故C项正确。48.A考查上下文串联。名词life生活；progress进步；performance表现；investment投资；根据whatisyour37forpersonalgrowth?可知这个计划是为个人成长计划，是与个人生活有关的计划。BCD三项都属于A项的范围。故A正确。49.B考查上下文串联。名词contract合同，契约；conversation对话；negotiation谈判；协商；argument争论；根据文章前两段可知我和Kurt在吃早饭的时候，进行了一次关于个人成长计划的谈话。故B正确。【名师点睛】完形填空的首句往往开宗明义，是文章的主题。细读首句可启示全文。而尾句又往往是对文章主题的总结。所以，它们是了解文章大意的一个窗口，对我们理解全文有着重要的启示作用。因此，要充分利用段首句提供的信息，去挖掘文章的思路，寻找文章的脉络与线索。一般来讲，高考完形填空的首、尾句通常是不挖空的。先跳读这两句，便可判断体裁，猜想它要讲什么。若首句交代了when,

where,

who,

what，即四个W，那么就是记叙文，很可能就是一个故事，为了测试语篇的理解能力，出题者特别注意选材的趣味性，其结尾往往出人意料，耐人寻味；以本文为例，作者在前两句中提及到时间：yearsago，forbreakfast；人物：I、Kurt说明叙述的是多年之前在吃早饭的时候，我和Kurt进行的一番对话。另外完形填空题中对词汇知识的考查，主要体现在习惯用法和同义词、近义词的辨析两方面。习惯用法是英语中某种固定的结构形态，即所谓的“习语”，不能随意改动。所以，考生平时应掌握好习惯用法。对词义辨析题的考查有加大力度的趋势。要做好这类题，需要有较大的词汇量和词语搭配能力、词语辨析能力，特别是在特定的语境中能灵活运用的能力。本文均为词汇知识的辨析。同时我们利用复现信息解题。语篇复现的信息包括原词复现、同义词和反义词复现、上义词和下义词复现、概括词复现和代词复现等。语篇中有词汇和结构同现的现象，如与语篇话题相关、意义相关的词汇同时出现，结构同现，同义同现，修饰同现，因果同现等。因此，利用上下文寻找解题信息，确定正确答案。21.请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的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。Myparentshadalwayspreparedforhurricanes.Itiswhat36._____peopledoinFloridabecause“youneverknow”.Forus,

39.D

40.A这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了一栋建在美国宾夕法尼亚州西南部一个瀑布上的房子—Fallingwater，并且，同时介绍了四条旅游路线的票价、购票方式及旅游中需要注意事项。【36题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中FallingwaterisahousebuiltoverawaterfallinSouthwesternPennsylvania.Itinstantlybecamefamous,andtodayitisaNationalHistoricLandmark.(Fallingwater是一栋建在宾夕法尼亚州西南部瀑布上的房子。它立即变得著名，今天它是国家历史地标)可知，Fallingwater就是一个国家历史地标。故选C项。【37题详解】细节理解题。根据文中Adults—$$20.00withadvancepurchase，Youth(ages6?12)—$$14.00withadvancepurchase，可知20+20+14=54。故选B项。【38题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中TheGuidedHouseTourallowschildrensix-year-oldandoldertoenjoythehousewiththeirparents.(TheGuidedHouseTour允许6岁以上的孩子与父母同住)。而In-DepthTour；SunsetTour；BrunchTour都要求9岁及以上的孩子才能参加。所以可推断出他们只能选择TheGuidedHouseTour这条旅游路线。故选A项。【39题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段SunsetTour中$110.00perperson(Availablebyadvanceticketpurchaseonly)(每人$110.00，只限预先购票)可知，现场不能买票。故选D项。【40题详解】细节理解题。通读文章可知，GuidedHouseTour，In-DepthTour；SunsetTour；BrunchTour这些路线都鼓励人们提前购票(advancepurchase)，所以这个是它们的共同点。故选A项。23.NewZealandwillcreateoneofthelargestmarineprotectedareasintheworld,spanninganareaof620,000sqkm.TheKermadecOceanSanctuary(保护区)willbeoneoftheworld’smostsignificantfullyprotectedecosystems,theprimeministerofNewZealand,JohnKey,toldtheUNGeneralAssemblyinNewYork.ThesanctuaryisintheSouthPacificOcean,about1,000kmnorth-eastofNewZealand,andexpandsamarinereservethatsurroundssomesmallislands.Theareaisconsideredimportantintermsofbiodiversity,featuringnearly35speciesofwhalesanddolphins,150typesoffishandthreeoftheworld’ssevenseaturtlespecies.Itisalsogeologicallysignificant,includingtheworld’slongestchainofunderwatervolcanoesandtheseconddeepestoceantrench,into10kmunderwater—deeperthanMountEverest’sheight.Thescaleofthesanctuarywilldwarf(矮化)anypreviousNewZealand’sprotectedarea,spanningtwicethesizeofthecountry’smainland.Itwillcover15%ofNewZealand’seconomiczone.Commercialandrecreationalfishingwillbecompletelybanned,aswilloil,gasandmineralprospecting(勘探),explorationandmining.Key’sgovernmentaimstopasslegislationestablishingthesanctuarynextyear."Thesanctuaryisaworld-class,unspoiledmarineenvironmentandNewZealandisproudtoprotectitforfuturegenerations,"Keysaid."NewZealandersvalueourcoastsandoceans,whichareanimportantpartofourculture,economyandenvironmentandwearecommittedtomanagingthemsustainably.Creatingprotectedareaswillsupportnotonlyourownfisheries,butthoseofourPacificneighbors,addingtoNewZealand’seffortstohelpgrowPacificeconomiesthroughtheresponsiblemanagementoftheiroceanresources."NickSmith,NewZealand’senvironmentminister,saidthesanctuarymightimposeacostupontheminingindustrybutthatitisimportanttoprotecttheoceanbeforeexplorationtakesplace."NewZealandneedstouseitsvastoceanresourcesforjobsandexportsinindustrieslikefishing,aquaculture,mineralsandenergy,butwealsoneedtosetasidespecialareaswherenaturecomesfirstandmarinelifeisfullyprotected,"Smithsaid.NewZealandwillmonitortheareaviaitsnavyandsatellitetechnology.TheKermadecregionwilljointhreeotherkeyareasinthePacificprotectedbytheUS,theUKandAustralia.MattRand,directorofthePewCharitableTrusts’GlobalOceanLegacy(遗产)campaign,welcomedKey’sannouncement."NewZealandwillcreatethegoldstandardofconservationareasinthesanctuary,preservingoneofthefewlyunspoiledareasofoceanonEarth,"hesaid."Thiscommitmentisanexcitingsteptowardmeetingglobalgoalstosafeguardatleast30%oftheoceanthroughfullyprotectedmarinereserves."5.W
