專題限時訓練(十三)

(-)

作者從一所學校的普通學生成長為該校的老師，后來又接任校長職務，期間一直得到一

個人的幫助，作者為擁有這樣的良師而感到慶幸。

1.A當時DrOffutt是作者的老師，所以應向學生“解釋”他們將要學習的內容。

speak表示說話的內容時是不及物動詞，teach用在此處絲毫沒有意義。

2.C根據but一詞可推測作者現在雖然身為校長，可當年并不知未來如何。

3.D他不僅教育作者思考，而且以大量事例讓作者“信服”。根據本句中的asmuch

byexample可知是舉例讓作者相信他的話。

4.A根據下文的ourrelationshipchanged可判斷此項正確。后三項分別表示“職

位”、“形勢”、"條件；狀況”，在文中都沒有信息支持。

5.B兒年后，作者被“任命”為系主任，此處name是動詞，表示“任命；提名”。A

項表示“指出”，應改為appointed。

6.D本句中間部分提到作者以前的英語老師仍然在此處工作，所以作者認為管理這個

系的工作極具“挑戰”性。

7.C根據but一詞可知DrOffutt自始至終“支持”作者。下一句提供了暗示。

8.A上文提到作者很茫然，不知所措，由此可知他給作者提供“建議”。此處，根據

后面give賓語的內容也可以判斷此項正確。

9.B本段第一句提到作者即將出任另一所學校的校長，由此可知這是一次“機

會”。根據本句的前一句可知作者并沒有決定去擔當此任，所以A項不正確；C項表示“占

據；占有；職業”，與語義不符。

10.C上文提到作者遇到困難時他總是提供幫助和支持，由此可判斷此項正確。下一

句也是暗示。

11.D偉大的老師有“取之不盡的”課程資源財富。A、C兩項有一定的干擾牲，但不

能很好地與great相搭配。

12.A作者認為學生擁有良師無比“幸運”，因為作者對DrOffutt這樣的優秀老師

永遠銘記在心。

BobbyMoresco出身普通工人家庭，他想擺脫當建筑工人或警察的命運，希望能成為

演員，并克服了種種困難為之奮斗了數十年，最后終于成了?位著名的劇作家。

13.DBobby從少年時期就開始演戲，但如同后來所知，他的演藝生涯一直不成功，

因此此處可填good表示“不是一個好演員”。

14.A雖然不是一個好的演員.他還是希望能改變自己的人生，“做??些使生活變得

不同的事情”。

15.C為了實現自己的夙愿，他去了好萊塢碰運氣，“碰運氣”可使用

meet(find)one,sfortune表示，故此空選擇fortune。

16.D因為太想當名演員，所以他自愿在自己開辦的一個表演單位做出租司機和服

務員的工作。

17.B根據上下文的意思可知盡管他目前做的工作很辛苦，但他仍然執著于自己選擇

的事業,chosen符合句意。afford“給予，提供"，respect“尊敬”,offer“提供”,均

與句意不符。

18.D這里的意思是他寫了一部與他自己生活有關的戲劇，“與……有關”可使用be

relatedto表示，因此此處選擇related。

19.C上文已經談到他的兄弟被謀殺.此處選擇killing即指此事。

20.D這里是指他漸漸有了名氣。reputation意思是“名氣，名望”，為最佳選項。

influence"影響"，ambition“雄心"及success"成功"均不符合題意。

21.B正在他窮困潦倒時，他接到了?個導演的電話。when可表示“正當這時”。

22.A盡管劇本被一次次駁回，但他對自己的作品有著強烈的信心，選擇strongly可

反映他堅強的意志力。

23.B由于在此之前一直沒有人賞識，因此他的電影是“悄悄地”被放映的，同時根

據后面的quietly的排比手法也可選出答案。

24.C這里是指他一舉成名，“一舉成名"可用anovernightsuccess來表示。［

(三)

初為人師卻遇到了棘手的問題。在上課過程中有人到教室聲稱學生將蘋果扔到了他的車

上，然而自己得體的處理辦法贏得了學生的尊重。

25.B從下文的“教室在二樓“可以知道，此處的building就是有“教室”的那一

座。

26.D從下文可以看出，這個教室不象教室，只是個普通房間，但牌子上的內容是

“教室”。

27.C常識考查，牌子應該掛在門口那個位置。

28.A與上句呼應，說明老師與學生年齡差距不大，有時候學生的長相和行為顯得

比老師都要成熟。

29.D此處“put…。n”表示“寫在……上”。

30.C這是根據事件發生的情形推斷出來的答案，蘋果吃了一半后扔出去了，其他

選項意義上都不通。

31.A這種“生氣”的心情
