Ⅰ.单项填空
1.He was so fat that he could only just ________ the door.
A.squeeze into B.squeeze through
C.get into D.enter through
答案与解析:B 先分析空格内待填词与the door之间的关系,受汉语“进门”的干扰,往往会误认为用介词into,但into是指进入某空间,不能说into the door。而应说into the room by/through the front door。D项中enter是及物动词,后直接接进入的空间。全句意为“他太胖了,勉强挤过这扇门”。

10.Has she finished her week's work?________,I'll ask her to see a film tonight.
A.If so B.If not
C.If any D.If anything
答案与解析:A if so相当于if she has finished her week's work,so是代替这一部分。if not是省略用法,相当于if she hasn't...;if any固定用法,“如果有的话”;D不是固定用法。句意为:她完成这周的工作了吗?如果完成了,我想邀她今晚去看电影。故选A项符合语境。
11.The building is severely ________ by the explosion and it will be a long time before it can be repaired.
A.struck B.hit

A.respective B.conscious
C.mild D.capable

C.wound D.damage

14.Taking this medicine,if________,will of course do good to your health.
A.continued B.to continue
C.continues D.continuing
答案与解析:A if continued为if it is continued的省略,it与动词continue构成逻辑上的动宾关系,需用被动形式。
15.—Have you seen the film The sound of Music?
—Not yet,but I________.
A.expect to B.think to
C.expect so D.expect not
答案与解析:A but表示转折,说明“想看”,expect to是expect to see the film的省略回答。在不定式的省略回答中常省略to后的部分,但不定式符号不能省略。

答案与解析:
为了硬化症病人,Tom Lee不顾自己72岁的高龄长途骑自行车鼓励他们。
1.B 从第三段最后一行“He did the ride for nine years”可得到提示。do a bike ride“骑车旅行”。
2.D 根据上下文可知,硬化症是一种非常可怕的疾病。
3.C 由该段“That courage inspired Lee to find his own”可推断此处Lee说的是他被他们鼓舞了。与inspire相应的只有encourage最为贴近。
4.B 从下一句“那种勇气鼓舞了Lee自己去找寻”推出这群人很勇敢。
5.A 根据上下文可知,尽管他小的时候很喜欢骑自行车,但一直到他„„。
6.C 尽管从小生长在爱尔兰的他喜欢骑车,„„。growing up是分词作状语。
7.D long distances“长距离”,直到他在明尼苏达州的Westinghouse工作时,才开始骑长距离的路程。
8.D 先行词是时间名词,故用关系副词when引导定语从句。如果1991前有介词in,则选that,本句成强调结构。
9.A 全文讲述的都是Lee骑自行车的事,只有A项符合这一事实。
10.B 从第三段的描述可知Lee参加的募款活动,是在各地的巡回比赛。tour有“巡回比赛/演出”之意。
11.A 本句意为“两天内走完300英里”。cover指“走完(一段路程)”。
12.A raise/collect money“筹钱”。
13.D 由第一段知Lee骑自行车是为帮助患硬化症的人,因此这是指把钱募捐给这一组织。go to相当于be contributed to“有助于;捐给”。
14.A push oneself to do sth.“促使某人自己做某事”。
15.C 根据题意可知,1992年他下定决心从Boca骑车到Jacksonville,再返回。decide最能体现他那种坚强的意志。
16.D 由前两句“他想收获更多,于是他决定„„”可推断,他的这一决定让他募集了比通常情况下要多的多的钱。normally...“正常地,通常地”。
17.B key“要旨;关键”。本句意为“Lee成功骑车旅行的关键在于„„”
18.A and连接的并列的四项都是讲骑车时的注意事项,故用carefully修饰ride。
19.A 并不是因为Lee一直保持健康(尽管他每周骑车距离平均长达50~60英里)才使他走完全程的,是由于他的耐力。
20.C 耐力对长途比赛是非常重要的。necessary“必要的”,helpful“有帮助的”,powerful“强有力的”,均与题意不符。
Ⅲ.阅读理解
A month after Hurricane Katrina,I returned home in New Orleans.There lay my house,reduced to waist-high ruins,smelly and dirty.
Before the trip,I'd had my car fixed.When the office employee of the garage was writing up the bill,she noticed my Louisiana license plate.“You from New Orleans?”she asked.I said I was.“No charge,”she said,and firmly shook her head when I reached for my wallet.The next day I went for a haircut,and the same thing happened.
As my wife was studying in Florida,we decided to move there and tried to find a rental house that we could afford while also paying off a mortgage(抵押贷款)on our ruined house.We looked at many places,but none was satisfactory.We'd begun to accept that we'd have to live in extremely reduced circumstances for a while,when I got a very curious e-mail from a James Kennedy in California.He'd read some pieces I'd written about our sufferings for Slate,the online magazine,and wanted to give us(“no conditions attached”)a new house across the lake from New Orleans.
It sounded too good to be true,but I replied,thanking him for his exceptional generosity,that we had no plans to go back.Then a poet at the University of Florida offered to let his house to me while he went to England on his one-year paid leave.The rent was rather reasonable.I mentioned the poet's offer to James Kennedy,and the next day he sent a check covering our entire rent for eight months.
Throughout this painful experience,the kindness of strangers has done much to bring back my faith in humanity.It's almost worth losing your worldly possessions to be reminded that people are really nice when given half a chance.
1.The garage employee's attitude toward the author was that of ________.

答案与解析:C 细节理解题。由文章的第三段最后一句得出答案。
3.It can be inferred from the text that ________.
A.the author's family was in financial difficulty
B.rents were comparatively reasonable despite the disaster
C.houses were difficult to find in the hurricane-stricken area
D.the mortgage on the ruined house was paid off by the bank
答案与解析:A 推理判断题。文章的开头提到作者家乡遭遇飓风,又讲想要租房子,同时还要支付房屋贷款,可推测出作者一家经济有些困难。
4.The author learned from his experience that ________.
A.worldly possessions can be given up when necessary
B.generosity should be encouraged in some cases
C.people benefit from their sad stories
D.human beings are kind after all
答案与解析:D 推理判断题。由文章最后一段可知答案。全文是以作者被人间温情所感动为线索来展开叙述。
