答案解析

I.【文章大意】帶著受傷的腳參加3000米跑步比賽，這注定沒(méi)法

取勝。可是只要你勇于參賽，堅(jiān)持到底，你也會(huì)有所收獲。

1?【解析】選Co邏輯推理題。又是地區(qū)運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)了，可作者的腳由于

上一次的(earlier)受傷仍然還沒(méi)有痊愈。注意本句中的過(guò)去完成時(shí)態(tài)

及still的意義有著明顯的提示意義。slighter更輕微的；worse更糟的;

earlier更早的，上一次的；heavier更沉重的，巨大的。

2.【解析】選D。邏輯推理題。根據(jù)上句可知，作者不是認(rèn)為(supposed),

設(shè)想(imagined),希望(expected)參力口運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)，而是懷疑(doubted)自己

是否應(yīng)該參加運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)。

3.【解析】選Co邏輯推理題。但是我到了比賽場(chǎng)地，準(zhǔn)備(ready)參

加3000米跑步。

4.【解析】選Bo前后照應(yīng)題。其他的女孩子不是落到了后面(from

behind),靠近(closeto,nextto)作者,而是沖到了作者的前面(ahead

of)o后文asIfellfartherandfartherbehind有所暗示。

5.【解析】選Ao背景常識(shí)題。作者越來(lái)越落后，作者不會(huì)感到驚訝

(astonished),也激動(dòng)(excited)不起來(lái)，而是感到慚愧(ashamed),當(dāng)然

不至于害怕(frightened)。

6.【解析】選A。詞匯復(fù)現(xiàn)題。這是作者在運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)上聽(tīng)到的最大的歡

呼聲(cheer)。前面“Hooray!”(歡呼的叫聲)也有所暗示，后文Ihearda

cheer-thantheoneI'dheardearlier和Theymustbecheeringfor

theboys.也都有明顯提示。

7.【解析】選B。邏輯推理題。第一名已經(jīng)先我兩圈到達(dá)了終點(diǎn)，作

者心想可能自己不該參加比賽，應(yīng)該放棄(dropout)才對(duì)。slow

down(使)慢下來(lái)，(使)減速；dropout不參與，離去，放棄；goon繼續(xù)下

去；speedup力口速。

8.【解析】選Do邏輯推理題。然而我還是決定堅(jiān)持跑下去。注意

前后句子之間的轉(zhuǎn)折意義。therefore因此，所以，表示因果關(guān)系；

otherwise另外,否則,表示其他情況的出現(xiàn);besides此外,還，表示附

加意義；however然而，可是，表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。

9.【解析】選Co前后照應(yīng)題。跑最后兩圈時(shí)，作者無(wú)法輕松(with

delight)起來(lái)，也沒(méi)有害怕恐懼(withfear),當(dāng)然也無(wú)法提前(inadvance)

至達(dá)，而是在腳疼(inpain)的狀態(tài)中跑著。前文Myfootstillhadn't

healedfroma(n)injury.已經(jīng)有所提示。

10.【解析】選C。邏輯推理題。作者在想這一次已經(jīng)沒(méi)有辦法了，明

年就不參加賽跑了。文中一再談至Irace和track。

11.【解析】選A。邏輯推理題。由上文作者已落后且腳有傷，可知作

者認(rèn)為這樣做不值得，故用worth,valuable后不能直接加賓語(yǔ)。

12.【解析】選D。前后照應(yīng)題。歡呼聲不是更弱(weaker),更低(lower),

而是更大(louder)。longer缺少比較的對(duì)象或前提。

13.【解析】選B。邏輯推理題。作者轉(zhuǎn)身看到男孩子正準(zhǔn)備開(kāi)始比

賽,確信(sure)大家是為男孩子歡呼。

14.【解析】選B。邏輯推理題。作者正準(zhǔn)備離開(kāi)，這時(shí)幾個(gè)女孩子走

上前來(lái)。when在此句中作并列連詞，意思是“正在這時(shí)，就在那個(gè)時(shí)

候，突然”。while作從屬連詞，表示“當(dāng)時(shí)候”，通常強(qiáng)調(diào)兩個(gè)動(dòng)作

或情況的同時(shí)發(fā)生；as作從屬連詞，表示“當(dāng)...時(shí)候”，通常強(qiáng)調(diào)一

個(gè)動(dòng)作或情況伴隨另一動(dòng)作或情況；since作從屬連詞，表示“自...

以后,自...以來(lái)

15.【解析】選D。邏輯推理題。作者對(duì)女孩的贊揚(yáng)不解，因?yàn)樗齽倓?/p>

跑過(guò)了終點(diǎn)，結(jié)束了比賽，但跑在最后沒(méi)有獲勝，輸(lose)了比賽。

16.【解析】選Bo邏輯推理題。女孩子們的鼓勵(lì)使作者又找回了失

去的希望(hope),而不是歡樂(lè)(cheer),興趣(interest),經(jīng)驗(yàn)

(experience)o

17.【解析】選D。詞語(yǔ)辨析題。作者決定明年還要參加(stickwith)

徑賽比賽。holdon把持住，不掛斷，停止，繼續(xù)，常有holdonto的用

法。turnto轉(zhuǎn)向，求助于，致力于，開(kāi)始行動(dòng)；beginwith首先，用...

開(kāi)頭；stickwith與固定在一起,堅(jiān)持做(某事)。

18.【解析】選A。邏輯推理題。作者意識(shí)到力量和勇氣并非總是可

以用獎(jiǎng)牌和勝利衡量(measure)的。measure估量，斟酌，權(quán)衡；praise

贊揚(yáng)，稱贊；test測(cè)試,檢驗(yàn)；increase增加,增大。

19.【解析】選Bo邏輯推理題。但是在我們戰(zhàn)勝了的“競(jìng)爭(zhēng)”中，力

量和勇氣總是可以估量出來(lái)。sadness悲哀，悲傷；struggle掙扎，努力,

奮斗；disease疾病，弊病；tiredness疲勞，疲倦。

20?【解析】選D。邏輯推理題。最堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的人并非總是贏得勝利的人，而

是(but)那些遇到失敗挫折時(shí)決不放棄的人。or或者，還是，表示選擇

關(guān)系；nor也不，表示否定關(guān)系；and表示并列關(guān)系；but表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。

II.【文章大意】本文說(shuō)明人們之間的交際不僅通過(guò)語(yǔ)言完成，而且

也通過(guò)體態(tài)語(yǔ)言進(jìn)行。

1.【解析】選Do細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第一段說(shuō)語(yǔ)言交流只占所有交流方

式的10%或者更少。雖然下文講的是bodylanguage的重要性，但并

沒(méi)有說(shuō)明最主要的交流方式是什么，也沒(méi)有說(shuō)bodylanguage是最快

捷的交流方式或者最強(qiáng)有力的交流工具，故只有D的說(shuō)法合理。

2.【解析】選Bo推理判斷題。根據(jù)下文中的“然而，體態(tài)語(yǔ)言卻不

會(huì)撒謊”及句中hide的意思推斷該句意為“口述會(huì)掩蓋真實(shí)意圖”，故

B項(xiàng)適合語(yǔ)境。

3.【解析】選Ao詞義猜測(cè)題。聯(lián)系上文，這句話意思是“你不能直

接問(wèn)他，因?yàn)檫@樣看起來(lái)就像看不起他”。因此選A。

【文章大意】本文介紹了Comera地區(qū)一種人們進(jìn)行交流的獨(dú)特方式

----口哨語(yǔ)言。

4.【解析】選B。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從文章的第二段可知，在此島上，口

哨語(yǔ)是用于傳遞信息的。故口哨語(yǔ)可將病人的信息傳遞給遠(yuǎn)處的醫(yī)

生。

5.【解析】選Do推理判斷題。從文章的最后一句可知此島上并無(wú)

電視、收音機(jī)等先進(jìn)的東西。

6.【解析】選D。推理判斷題。縱觀全文，可知此島的特殊之處在于

它特有的口哨語(yǔ)。

7.【解析】選Co推理判斷題。本文主要講述了口哨語(yǔ)的獨(dú)特性和

重要性；并預(yù)言在電視出現(xiàn)后，人們將仍用口哨傳遞電視上的新聞。

故用排除法可將答案選出。

【拓展題型訓(xùn)練】

I.1.［解析］選F。由下文Yourwholefamily?和Butwestarteddinner

late.可次口。

2.【解析】選A。由答語(yǔ)Ididn'tknowthatwasyourfavorite.可知。

3.【解析】選D。由下句Butwestarteddinnerlate.可知本句應(yīng)該是

談?wù)擄埐恕?/p>

4.【解析】選E。由下句Paulsaysthatnewcarsarenotasgoodasold

ones.Hesaystheirsteeringwheelsarenotsogood.可判斷我對(duì)此并不

知.情。

5.【解析】選C。由下句Pmsureshe'lllendyouhers.可知。

II.1.【解析】選C。通讀全段可知，本段說(shuō)明航空交通的概括情況,

故選擇C項(xiàng)。

2.【解析】選F。通讀全段可知，本段說(shuō)明航空客運(yùn)剛剛開(kāi)始時(shí)的情

況，故選擇F項(xiàng)。

3.【解析】選D。通讀全段可知，本段說(shuō)明航空客運(yùn)在二戰(zhàn)之時(shí)和二

戰(zhàn)后至七十年代的發(fā)展的情況，亦即緊跟前段之后的情況，故選擇D

項(xiàng)。
