解析
小题1:B exactly“确切地,整整”。
小题2:A 本句意思是:听他向学生们解释要完成的任务。因此用explaining。
小题3:D 所填词与journey构成固定短语take a journey,意思是“旅行”。
小题4:C 此处是非谓语动词作状语,根据后文的future可知此处是“想知道”之意,因此选C。
小题5:D 本句意思是:他不但教我思考这件事,还通过……使我信服,因此此处填convinced。
小题6:A 此处用words,意思是“言语,话语”。
小题7:C 句子意思是:这么做和帮助别人是我道义上的责任,故用others。
小题8:A 文章整体就是在说明“我”和老师的关系,因此此处用relationship。
小题9:A 此处意思是:我被任命为系主任,故用appointed。
小题10:D 由前文的“I worked for Dr. Offutt”可知我们的关系是师生,原来他是系主任,我是普通老师,现在我是系主任,他是普通老师,所以说我们的关系“再次”变化了,用again。
小题11:D 本句意思是:我认为领导一个系很有挑战性,因此选D。
小题12:C support“支持”。本句意思是:Dr. Offutt始终支持我。
小题13:A 根据后文的“I needed his advice about leaving DeMatha to become principal at another school”可知此处用advice, give sb. advice“给某人提建议”。 小题14:D 所填词位于句首,且后面有逗号,用副词,意思应为“而不是”,因此用instead。
小题15:B 与前文的seize搭配,用opportunity(机会,良机)。
小题16:B 根据第一自然段中的“I‘m principal of the school now”,可知此处用principal(校长)。
小题17:C 所填词与空后的on构成固定短语,意思是“依靠,取决于”,因此用depend。
小题18:D 本句意思是:我从他那里学会优秀的老师应有的无尽的教学财富。故用endless(无尽的,无休止的)。
小题19:B 此处所填词引导让步状语从句,意思是“即使,虽然”,用even if。
小题20:D句意是:我知道他们多满意。

【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小,追根溯源,探索各项风俗的历史渊源,内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主,如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松,试题做起来比较顺手,但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神,就会丢分。
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率,建议同学们做好以下几点:
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现,越是容易的试题,同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢?因为在这种情况下,同学们极易产生麻痹思想,认为题目好做,就不引起高度重视,于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点,设计陷阱题。所以,无论试题难易与否,我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易,不欣喜;试题难,不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法,认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义,确定多义词或短语在文中的意思,确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象,或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子,切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提,以具体事实为依据进行推理,做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接,只要弄清事实,即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
