1、2004年We may look at the world around us, but somehow we manage not to see it until whatever we've become used to suddenly disappears. 36 , for example, the neatly-dressed woman I 37 to see - or look at - on my way to work each morning. For three years, no matter 38 the weather was like, she was

2、always waiting at die bus stop around 8:O0 am. On 39 days, she wore heavy clothes and a pair of woolen gloves. Summertime 40 d B out neat, belted cotton dresses and a hat pulled low over her sunglasses. 41 , she was an ordinary working woman. Of course, I 42 all this only after she was seen no more.

3、 It was then that I realized how 43 I expected to see her each morning. You might say I 44 her.“Did she have an accident? Something 45?” I thought to myself about her 46 . Now that she was gone, I felt I had 47 her. I began to realize that part of our 48 d life probably includes such chance meetings

4、 with familiar 49 : the milkman you see at dawn, the woman who 50 walks her dog along the street every morning, the twin brothers you see at the library. Such people are 51 markers in our byes. They add weight to our 52 of place and belonging.Think about it. 53 , while walking to work, we mark where

5、 we are by 54 Ca certain building, why should we not mark where we are when we pass a familiar, though 55 , person?36. A. Make B. Take C. Give D. Have37. A. happened B. wanted C. used D. tried38.

Unreal眾生紜紜，來去匆匆。有些人你可能名字也不知道，你卻似乎熟悉得很，可有一天他們不見了，你會有什么想法？這篇文章給你講敘這樣的一個故事。題號 答案 考查內容解題依據 解題分析1 B 固定搭配 make an example of sb.懲罰某人以儆他人, 懲一儆百；take sth. for example以為例，例如；give an

9、example to做.榜樣, 樹立(好)榜樣；have sth. as an example把當做榜樣/例子。2 C 詞匯用法詞義比較 在每天早晨上班路上作者們總是(used)有意或無意看到的穿戴整潔的女性。happen to do碰巧want to do想要；used to do過去總是，經常；try to do企圖。3 A 詞匯用法句法結構 不管天氣怎么樣，八點種左右她總是在等著公共汽車。like(象)是介詞，需要名詞特征的what(什么)作賓語，whatis/was like？怎么樣？如果沒有like ，則可以選用how(怎么樣)；which(哪個)和when(什么時侯)不用于這結構。

10、4 D 常識運用前后照應 只有在有冰雪的(snowy)日子，才穿厚實的衣服，才戴毛紡的手套，而不是在晴(sunny)天，雨(rainy)天，或陰(cloudy)天。后文的summertime有某種暗示。5 B 常識運用詞義比較 夏天的日子里，她顯露出/穿出(bring out)整潔的束著腰帶的棉布女服，帽子戴在頭上，低低地遮住太陽鏡。take out拿出, 取出；bring out生產，制造，使顯露；carry out完成，執行；turn out關閉，出產，結果。6 A 邏輯推理詞義比較 很明顯(clearly)，可以看出她是一個普通的上班族婦女。clearly明朗地, 明顯地；particu

11、larly獨特地, 顯著地；luckily幸運地；especially特別, 尤其。7 C 詞義比較邏輯推理 在她消失之后，作者才想起來(remember)了這一切，而不是相信(believe)，表達(express)，納悶(wonder)這一切。8 D 詞義比較邏輯推理 直到那時作者才意識到每天早晨作者非常(much)想看到她。long長時間地；often經常，常常，表示動作出現的頻率；soon不久，立刻；much非常，很，表示動作的程度。9 B 邏輯推理詞義比較 作者肯定尊敬(respect)她，也贊美(praise)過她，羨慕(admire)過她，但卻見不到她，就只有暗暗地思念(miss

12、)她了。 10 B 邏輯推理 她是不是出了什么意外？是不是出了更為糟糕(worse)的事情？作者在暗暗思念，為她焦慮，擔心她會有什么不測。11 A 詞義比較邏輯推理前后照應 作者在為她的消失(disappearance)暗自思忖，也許她有了好運(fortune)，也許她遭了不幸(misfortune)，也許她什么時候有會出現(appearance)。前文untilhwhatever we've become used to suddenly disappears和she was seen no more和后文she was gone已有所暗示。 12 C 邏輯推理詞義比較 既然她消失了

13、，作者沒有傷害過(hurt)，沒有錯過(lose)她，也沒有忘記過(forget)她，而是熟悉(know)她了。13 D 詞義比較固定搭配 作者開始意識到，我們也許幸福的(happy)，也許愉快的(enjoyable)日常(daily)生活就包括著這樣的與既熟悉又陌生的人的偶然的相會。frequent(頻繁的，時常發生的)通常不與life常這樣的詞連用，而通常與動作名詞連用。14 B 前后照應邏輯推理詞義比較修辭運用 他們既非朋友(friends)，也非游客(tourists)，也非客人(guests)。既熟悉又陌生的人(strangers)。此處文章作者運用的是矛盾修辭格手法，既用一個含義相

14、反的形容詞來修飾一個名詞，例如，painful pleasure悲喜交集，honourable villain體面的惡棍，Love is sweet torment.愛是甜蜜的痛苦。15 A 詞義比較常識運用 每天早晨總是(regularly)沿街遛狗的女人。regularly經常，總是，指有動作發生的規律性；actually實際上，事實上；hardly幾乎不；probably或許，大概。16 C 詞義比較邏輯推理 這些人在我們的眼里也許是普通的(common)，令人快樂的(pleasant)，忠實的(faithful)，但卻都是很重要的(important)標識, 標志。17 D 詞義比較常

15、識運用 他們增添了我們對某一處所以及其附屬的進一步的理解(sense)。choice選擇, 抉擇 knowledge知識, 學問；decision決定, 決心；sense感覺，見識，理解。18 B 語句連貫詞義比較 because因為，表示因果關系；if如果，表示條件關系；although雖然, 盡管，表示讓步關系；however然而，可是，表示轉折關系。19 C 詞義比較前后照應常識運用 作者認為，我們可以用經過(pass)某一建筑物的方法來標記我們所處的位置。后句有該此出現。keep(保留)，change(改變)；mention(提及)都與文意不符。20 A 邏輯推理常識運用詞義比較 我們

16、也就可以用經過某一個熟悉卻又無法叫出名字的(unnamed)人，這人也許令人難忘(unforgettable)，也許難以置信(unbelievable)，也許是不真實的(unreal)，來識別我們自己所處的位置。 2005年On May 27, 1995, our life was suddenly changed.

In an interview, she recalled how she became a percussion soloist(打擊樂器獨奏演員) in spite of her disability. “Early on I decided not to allow the 36 of others to stop me from becoming a musician. I grew up on a farm in northeast Scotland and began 37 piano lessons when I was eight. The

41、 older I got, the more my passion(酷愛) for music grew. But I also began to gradually lose my 38 . Doctors concluded that the nerve damage was the 39 and by age twelve, I was completely deaf. But my love for music never 40 me.” “My 41 was to become a percussion soloist, even though there were none at

43、a musician, not as a deaf musician, and I applied to the famous Royal Academy of Music in London. No other deaf student had 47 this before and some teachers 48 my admission.

49、可知Glennie不想讓別人的看法（the opinions of others）左右自己成為音樂家的理想。A條件；C項行動；D項推薦。 37. C。Glennie八歲開始學習鋼琴。take lessons上課，固定短語。 38. B。 從下文可知，Glennie聽覺（hearing）逐漸失去，直到12歲時完全失聰（completely deaf）。 39. D神經損傷（the nerve damage）是Glennie失去聽覺的主要原因（cause）。evidence證據；result結果；excuse借口。 40. “我對音樂的愛從來沒有離開過我。”根據never，句意否定，所以B項exc

50、ite sb.令人激動，C項accompany sb.陪伴某人不正確。D項應為disappear from sb.。 41. D。人生的目標 （goal ）,purpose目的；decision決定；promise許諾。 42. B。“我學會了聽（learn to do）音樂。”turn to轉向（某人尋求幫助）；used to 過去常常（做某事）；ought to應該做某事。 43. A。tell 辨別；see看到；hear聽到；smell聞到。句意是：通過振動來辨別音調的高低。 44. C。據句意，為了分辨音調的高低，除了通過身體對振動的感覺，還可以通過我的想象（imagination）。

51、因為Glennie以前沒有失聰過，所以不會有experience（經驗）；而carefulness（細心）和身體的movement（運動）對聾人來說是無法分辨音調高低的。 45. A。“我只有通過調動全部的感覺（sense）器官”才能彌補失聰的遺憾來感受周圍世界。定語從句I have修飾的我能擁有的sense 感覺、effort努力、feeling感情、idea想法中A項符合句意。 46. C。Glennie下定決心（be determined to do）要被別人評價為一名音樂家，而不是一名聾人音樂家。dissatisfied不滿意的； astonished驚訝的；discouraged氣餒的。A、B、D都是Glennie對別人評價的反應，而Glennie這時實際上還沒有成名，所以不可能有這些感覺。 47. A。“以前沒有失聰學生做過（done）這件事（applied to the Royal Academy of Music）”。Accept接受，advise建議，admit承認。根據語意，A項正確。 48. D。因為以前沒有失聰學生被錄取，所以一些老師反對（oppose）Glennie進入the Royal Academy of Music。 49. B。由于Glennie的表現，最終（fin
