答案
16-35 BDDAB CDACB ACBCD ACADB解析
16.B。与37小题构成对应关系,相对于“客人”的“主人”应用host;master作“主人”讲时,强调具有“控制别人的能力”。17.D。
18.D。 think of“想到某事”。know of知道某事的有关情况;remember“记起”是及物动词,其后不须接of,故不选。
19.A。联系上文,主人拿起热水瓶,故离开的时候是把热水瓶放在桌上,而不是“茶杯”或“盖子”或“茶”。
20.B。主人离开后,客人“仍然”坐在那里。enjoy表“喜欢做某事”,imagine“想象”,hate “憎恶”都与题意不符。
21.C。父亲正要端杯子喝茶,这时候传来“破裂声”,有东西打破了,crash即“爆裂声”,“撞击声”,noise指嗓音;此句并不是指某人来了,故不能选A或B
22.D。look over one’s shoulder指“某人转头看”。
23.A。女孩转头看,盯着破裂的热水瓶,watch指下意识的观察,不合题意。
24.C。从后句中可以看出,他们并没有碰开水瓶,而开水瓶破了,故是“奇怪的事”。
25.B。破的是热水瓶,因此应该是“冒蒸气的地板”。
26.A。父亲解释是因为自己“碰了”热水瓶所以它破了。因此用touch。
27.C。reflection指镜子中或静水中的“映像”,从前文中我们可以知道女孩在窗前看花,因而是从玻璃中看到了她父亲的“映像”,而不是“影子”。
28.B。坐着不动用still。
29.C。父亲和女儿对这一事件发生原因的不同看法,父亲从成人的观点出发,觉得自己承担责任更好,女儿认为不应说谎,父亲觉得女儿天真,所以“笑着说”即laughed。
30.D。
31.A。do与 will连用常表“合适的”“有用的”“行”。
32.C。指“可以接受的”。
33.A。父亲向女儿解释原因。
34.D。女儿“陷入了沉默”be lost in silence。
35.B。“只能这样解释吗?”
考点
据考高分专家说,试题“The 16picked up the .....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。日常生活类阅读
日常生活类阅读的概念:
日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作,生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时,最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容,时间和地点。
日常生活类阅读题答题技巧:
【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。
