本文介绍了发源于美国并流行于欧洲各国的电话购物法,说明了电话购物法的发展情况以及受大众欢迎的原因,同时也指出了这种购物法存在的问题,并提出了解决这些问题的途径。

答案简析

1. A。上文讲到电话购物法在欧洲也开始起步,本句承接上文,对欧洲的情况作进一步介绍,因此,应选European。

2. D。电话购物法,应通过看电视选择物品,然后电话订购, 故应选TVs。

3. D。else为副词不用来修饰名词作定语。the other things意为“别的所有商品”不合文意,选项many other things意为“别的许多商品”为正确选项。

4. B。such as中的as为介词,因此该词组用于列举时,后面常直接接名词或名词性短语。而for example用于列举时与后面例子常用逗号隔开。因此B为正确选项。

5. D。分析句子,不难发现本句使用了“spend money in dong something”这一结构,且主语the French为第三人称复数,故应用spend的原形。

6. B。该句子表示“在德国,每天电话购物法仅在一个频道播放一个小时,这种情况一直持续到去年”,表示某状态一直持续到某个点时间,应用“until + 点时间”。

7. C。这里open表示“开放,开张,营业”,本句表示电影频道对电话购物实行了开放政策,可用来进行电话购物。

8. C。很明显,电话购物法为商人销售产品提供了一个极佳的渠道。因此本句表达了商人的愿望。

9. B。without为介词。后面应跟动词的-ing形式。根据文意,going out应为正确选项。

10. B。根据本句开头的But以及下文内容,这里提到的是对电话购物持反对态度的人。故选don’t。

11. A。一些人不喜欢电话购物法,称其为“垃圾”。故应选teleshopping。

12. C。人们担心的是电视上正在销售的产品的质量。A,B意思不对。for sale表示“待售”,为正确选项。

13. B。电话购物法令人们担心的是电视上展销的商品的质量,而不是商店里的商品,也不是已经买到手的商品。故选on TV。

14. B。根据上文,欧洲人的购物观念与美国人有所不同。因此电话购物公司也得采取不同的措施。固定结构be different form意为“不同于……”为正确答案。

      本文介绍了电脑的产生、发展以及在我们日常生活中广泛的使用,针对一些人对将来电脑会控制人类的担忧,作者提出了自己的看法。

答案简析

1.A。one of 后要用可数名词的复数形式,根据文章意思,可知答案是A。

2.D。要表达第几个世纪,应该用“序数词+century”,而根据常识,计算机是二十世纪的产物,A项“二十一世纪”与实际不符合。

3.B。固定搭配not only…but (also)… 意思是“不但……而且……”。所以答案是B。

4.A。in many ways为一固定用法,表示“在许多方面”。

5.D。根据文章大意,可知答案是D,表示“给人们带来财富和快乐”。

6.C。因为Enid是名字,故用called。

       本文讲述了一个聪明的小男孩的故事。他要求加入一位富人的旅行,在得到同意后   选择担子时,看似愚蠢地选择了最大、最重的担子。而这恰恰就是他的聪明之处,因为他所挑的面包在途中是被边走边吃的,到达目的地时已所剩无几。阅读这故选foolish。篇文章时要注意句子的整体理解,如第8、9、10这三题。

答案简析

1. B。这位富人不仅带了东西去卖,而且带钱去“买”东西。解这道题时要注意将句中and前后的内容进行比较。

2. A。根据他的想法,他“决定”要带十个仆人。这件事完全可以由他自己决定,所以没有必要“希望带……”或“努力带……”,故C、D不合题意。

3. C。carry在句中意为“携带、运送”;take 意为“带走”;bring意为“带来”。本句意为“他们将运送要卖的东西和在路上要吃的食物”。下文的第10、11两题所在的句子也有提示。

4. B。参照第3题。

5. D。一个小男孩来找这位富人,要求和他们一起走,故选 the rich man。

6. C。参照第5题。

7. A。富人同意小男孩随行。

8. D。此句和上文是转折关系,意为“但是你是我的仆人中最小的、最瘦的、最弱的一个,你不能挑重担”,故选but。

9. C。参照第8题。

10. A。参照第8题。

11. B。此句意为“你要选择挑最轻的担子”,“pick up”意为“捡起”,不合文意,故选choose。

12. D。主人看到这个小仆人选择了最重的担子,感到他很“愚蠢”,故选foolish。。

13. B。听了主人的话,小男孩“什么也没说”,而是高兴地挑起了担

子。        

14. C。由于小男孩的聪明,“除了”他自己,其他仆人都累坏了。

15. D。Do you know why? 用在文章最后用来引出原因,告诉读者其中的奥妙。

这篇完型填空讲述了身为边防检查员的彼得明知一个工厂工人在走私货物却无法抓住对方的把柄。在退休的前一天,彼得恳请其说出真相,结果令彼得恍然大悟。

答案简析

1.D。根据下文这个工人越过边界后,走下山坡,所以到达边界之前应在朝山上走。故选up。

2.C。这名工人是在推着一辆装有稻草的自行车,故选动词pushing。

3.D。这里表达的是到达边界之意arrive, come为不及物动词不可直接接 the frontier,故选reached。

4.C。ask与order后接不定式的复合结构时,动词前应有to, make后接不定式的复合结构时,动词前to要省去。根据下文应选make。

5.A。彼得想发现这个工人在走私什么,所以应仔细地检查。故选carefully。

6.D。这里根据文意,应选择表示“是否”之意的whether作宾语从句的引导词。

17.C。“on the job”为一常用短语。意为“执行公务”。

18.C。因为今天是彼得最后一天上班说明明天他就要退休retire。

19.B。根据句中否定词not 及文意应选anyone。

本篇是一个寓言故事,说的是一只牧羊犬,因为天冷,就睡在牧羊人给羊吃的干草上。结果,羊吃不着草,感到非常生气,他们认为狗太自私,自己又不能吃草,还不让能吃草的吃。

答案简析

1.      B。从下文可知天是在下雪。

2.      A。上文说天在下着大雪,所以地上应该被覆盖着“厚厚的”雪。

4.      B。根据常理,羊在那儿也很难找到草。

5.      D。天冷,牧羊人就想呆在温暖的房间里。英语里一般不用hot room。

6.      C。后面是一个完整的句子,所以不可以用in order to或so as to。so that意为“以便”,后面得跟一个完整的句子。

7.      A。全句意为“牧羊人把干草放在围栏里以便羊在饿的时候能吃”。

8.      B。躺在软草上,用soft最恰当。

9.      C。羊都很害怕狗。“三者以上的都”只有用all。

名师点评

本文主要想告诉读者,学英语是一个长期而艰苦的劳动,没有任何捷径可走。无论你用什么方法学习——用书、机器或在学校,不多实践就无法达到预期的目的。

答案简析

1.      B。这里的or是“否则”的意思。

2.      C。根据作者的观点,这种事绝对不可能发生。impossible是一个形容词,不符语法,can’t后不可能跟happens,often意思与作者的意图相反。

3.      D。唯一容易学的语言是母语。这里需要一个形容词充当后置定语。

4.      A。用来修饰不可数名词,只有用how much,全句意为“母语好学,还需要那么多的练习。”何况外语呢?。

5.      B。动词不定式充当目的状语。意为“学习外语来研究文学”。

6.      C。说某种语言用speak,speak English,speak Chinese。

7.      D。用it代指上文所说的a foreign language。

8.      B。这里的with是“用”的意思。

9.      A。作者在这里提出一种假设。如果他们一星期只有一两次使用外语。

10.  C。固定短语,意为“做某事花费某人多长时间”。

11.  B。后面省略了than 6 hours。意为6个小时或更多的时间。

12.  D。it 代指上文所指的foreign language,故用被动被态。

13.  C。许多人不可能做到这一点。这里不可以用not possible,因为它的主语不可以用人。

14.  D。机器和书对于学习英语来说是很有帮助的。

15. B。whether …or…固定短语。

Then he’d put it in his mouth and his mother would think he was   7   ill.

This morning I tried doing that but it   8   went above 35℃ and I rubbed it for ten   9  . So I held the thermometer   10   the light on my desk and it went up to 40℃. I thought I’d put it in my mouth and walk downstairs like that.   11   my mother would take it out and she would be   12   when she saw that I was rather ill.

The only trouble was I didn’t know the thermometer would be so   13  , As soon as I put it into my mouth I burnt my tongue(舌头)! I spit (吐) the thermometer out. It fell   14   the floor but it   15  .

这是一篇小幽默。一个男孩为了装病,用尽了各种办法想告诉妈妈自己的体温很高,结果差点儿烫伤了自己。

2.B。这里应选择情态动词should, 表示在该穿毛衣的时候他不穿, 其实他就是想让自己冻出病来。

3.B。跟上两题同解。

4.D。so far常与动词的现在完成时连用,表示“到目前为止”。

14.D。fall on为“掉到……上”, fall off 是指“从某处摔下”, fall down是“落下”。

15.C。break为及物动词, 与主语构成动宾关系,所以用被动语态形式was broken。
