I looked up the hill to see 17 she was going and saw her Dad waiting for her. As she got closer and closer her Dad smiled and knelt down to greet her. The second she got to him he folded her in 18 powerful arms and gave her a huge hug.
My eyes watered a bit as I watched this scene and remembered all the times 19 my own children had ran into my arms with 20 (smile) faces. Every single hug from 21 was a fountain of youth and a treasure of joy.
My lovely trip down memory lane was interrupted when I heard the car 22 me sound its horn(喇叭). I saw 23 school bus quickly pulling away.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了“我”在旅馆里看到一只苍蝇不停地试图穿过玻璃飞出去,这无疑是在自杀。它完全可以从旁边开着的门飞走。“我”从这件事得到启发:人们在遇到困难的时候,不应冒昧地尝试,应该有所突破,才有机会获得成功。 1.A.seeing C.watching
B.crying out D.listening to
解析 句意为:我听到了绝望的声音。listen to“听到”。A、B、C三项均没有“听到”的意思。 答案 D 2.A.struggle C.yell
B.cry D.test
解析 struggle意为“挣扎,斗争”;cry意为“哭,喊叫”;yell意为“叫喊”;test意为“测试”。由第二段第四句中“the struggle is part of trap”的提示可知,此处应选用struggle。 答案 A 3.A.bird
C.insect
B.fly D.worm
解析 bird意为“鸟”;fly意为“苍蝇”;insect意为“昆虫”;worm意为“爬虫”。由第二段第五句中的“the fly to try hard enough to succeed in...”可知,B项正确。 答案 B 4.A.experience
C.force
B.direction D.attempt
解析 experience意为“经验,经历”;direction意为“方向”;force意为“武力”;attempt意为“尝试”。根据上下文语境可知,苍蝇正在尝试穿过玻璃飞出去。 答案 D 5.A.Thus
C.Although
B.So D.However
解析 thus意为“因而”;so意为“所以”;although意为“虽然”;however意为“然而”。句意为:虽然苍蝇不断地尝试穿过玻璃窗,然而并不奏效。前后两句是转折关系。 答案 D 6.A.unusual
C.impossible
B.likely D.common
解析 unusual“不同寻常的”;likely“可能的”;impossible“不可能的”;common“寻常的”。由常识可知,苍蝇是不可能成功穿过玻璃飞出去的。 答案 C 7.A.digging
C.pushing
B.breaking D.jumping
解析 dig“挖掘”;break“打破”;push“推”;jump“跳”。短语break through意为“突破,冲破”,符合语境。 答案 B 8.A.kill
C.lie
B.die D.stick
解析 kill“杀死”;die“死”;lie“撒谎,躺”;stick“粘贴”。由常识判断,如果苍蝇不断地撞击玻璃,就会死在那里。 答案 B 9.A.away
C.near
B.far D.distant
解析 away“距离……远”;far“远的”;near“近的”;distant“远的”。away用在名词后,表示距离某地有多远,符合语境。 答案 A 10.A.dreams
C.misses
B.thinks of D.longs for
解析 dream“梦想”;think of“考虑”;miss“怀念,错过”;long for“渴望”。句意为:只需十秒钟的飞行,这只苍蝇就能飞到外面它所渴望的世界。 答案 D 11.A.done
C.wasted
B.owned D.planned
解析 do“做,完成”;own“拥有”;waste“浪费”;plan“计划”。根据语境可知,它之前的努力都白费了,故C项符合语境。 答案 C 12.A.aim
C.net
B.trap D.goal
解析 aim“目的,目标”;trap“陷阱”;net“网”;goal“目的”。由第二段第四句中的“the
struggle is part of the trap”可知,trap符合语境,即自我设置的陷阱。 答案 B 13.A.easy
C.hard
B.necessary D.obvious
解析 easy“轻松的,容易的”;necessary“必要的”;hard“艰难的”;obvious“明显的”。句意为:突破的可能性就在那里,是那么简单。 答案 A 14.A.attempt
C.struggle
B.anything D.something
解析 something“某事,某物”,常用于肯定句;anything“任何事物”,常用于否定句和疑问句。在表示请求、建议或征求意见的疑问句中常用something。 答案 D 15.A.that
C.which
B.what D.where
解析 that可引导定语从句,也可引导名词性从句;what引导名词性从句;which引导形容词性从句;where可引导定语从句和状语从句。从句中不缺任何成分,且句中先行词是idea,所以其后要用that来引导同位语从句,对idea进行补充说明。 答案 A 16.A.sense
C.effect
B.difference D.effort
解析 sense“感觉,意识”,常和make构成短语,make sense意为“有意义”;difference“区别,不同”;effect“影响”;effort“努力”。句意为:毫无疑问,这种方法对这只苍蝇来说是有意义的。 答案 A 17.A.of
C.off
B.from D.to
解析 在solution的后面常跟to表示的不定式,是固定搭配。意为“解析法”。 答案 D 18.A.advice
C.hope
B.support D.power
解析 advice“建议”;support“支持,支撑”;hope“希望”;power“力量”。此处与最后一段中的“If you________your hopes for a...”相照应,故用hope符合语境。 答案 C 19.A.risk
C.make
B.get D.take
解析 risk“冒险,冒……的风险”;get“获得”;make“制作”;take“带走”。句意为:如果你
冒险把你的希望放在比以往更艰难的突破上,你就可能有扼杀成功的机会。 答案 A 20.A.fail
C.achieve
B.kill D.fulfill
解析 fail“失败”;kill“杀死”;achieve“获得,达到”;fulfill“执行,履行”由语境可知,此处应用kill。 答案 B
阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
Bill Javis took over our village’s news-agency at a time of life when most of us only wanted to relax. He just thought he would like something but not too much to do, and the news-agency was ready-made. The business produced little enough for him, but Bill was a man who only wanted the simplicity and order and regularity of the job. He had been a long-serving sailor, and all his life had done everything by the clock.
Every day he opened his shop at 6:00 a. m. to catch the early trade; the papers arrived on his doorstep before that. Many of Bill’s customers were city workers, and the shop was convenient for the station. Business was tailing off by 10 o’clock, so at eleven sharp Bill closed for lunch. It was hard luck on anybody who wanted a paper or magazine in the afternoon, for most likely Bill would be down on the river bank, fishing, and his neatest competitor was five kilometers away. Sometimes in the afternoon-, the evening paper landed on the doorway, and at 4 o’ clock Bill reopened his shop. The evening rush lasted till seven, and it was worthwhile.
He lived in a flat above the ship, alone. Except in the very bad weather, you always knew where to find him in the afternoon, as I have said. Once, on a sunny afternoon, I walked home along the river bank from a shopping trip to the village. By my watch it was three minutes past four, so I was astonished to see Bill sitting there on his little chair with a line in the, water. He had no luck, I could, see, but he was making no effort to move. “What’s wrong, Bill?” I called out from the path.
For answer, he put a hand in his jacket and took out a big, golden object. For a moment I had no idea what it could be, and then it suddenly went off with a noise like a fire engine. Stopping the bell, Bill held the thing up and called back, \"Ten to four, you see, and this is dead right. \"
I had never known anyone carrying a brass alarm clock round with him before. 1. Bill Javis became a news-agent when ________. A. he need the money.
B. he decided to take things easy D. he gave up clock-repairing
C. he was quite an old man
2. Bill opened the shop so early in the day because ________. A. he liked to do as much as possible before he went to work B. the shop had to be open when the morning papers came C. he was never sure of time
D. it was then that he did a lot of business
3. On that sunny afternoon, the writer was surprised when he saw Bill because ________. A. he thought it was late for Bill to be still fishing B. he thought Bill was ill, since he was not moving at all C. Bill had not caught anything, and that seemed strange D. Bill stayed in his flat
4. From the information given in the passage, who or what do you think was wrong? A. The bell was; it must have gone off at the wrong time. B. Bill was; he had dropped off to sleep. C. The writer’s watch was fast. D. Bill’s clock was wrong; it was old. 【参考答案及解析】
1. C 推断题。at a time of life when most of us only wanted to relax和He had been a long-serving sailor这两点说明他已上了年纪。
2. D 推断题。第二段开头说他6点开门,报纸在这之前已送到,而且还可以catch the early trade。 3. A 推断题。Bill通常4点会重新开店,而那天作者的表已过4点,Bill还没有离开的意思,所以他非常惊讶。
4. C 细节题。A项中go off是爆发,产生很大声音;B项中drop off to sleep是不知不觉入睡;文章中倒数第二段最后一句话this is dead right 中dead是“非常,完全”的意思,可见,Bill的clock没错。
