影響。因此選C項，這句話的意思是：“比賽過程中不會有天氣的影響，因為我們整個的比賽都在室內(nèi)進行。"19．A.judgementB．progressC．senseD．way答案：Cmakesense“有意義"；judgement“判斷,裁斷”；progress“進步，前進”；way“道路,方法"。結(jié)合這幾個詞的詞義以及用法可知此處選C項最為恰當。這句話的意思是：“這就讓我們說摔跤是運氣指數(shù)最小的運動變得有根有據(jù)，有意義?！?0．A。alsoB．evenC．onlyD．once答案：A前一句話說的是“我們隊里有個五次獲得世界冠軍的人”，后一句話的意思是“我們隊里有五個國家級冠軍”，因此銜接兩句話最好的詞應該是also。故選A項。21．A.underB．forC．inD．by答案：Dunder以及for一般都不與thenameof連用;inthenameof“以……的名義”；bythenameof“名字叫……”。很顯然此處說的是一個名叫John的人，因此選D項。22．A.hurtB．chosenC．trainedD．defeated答案:D由本段的最后一句可以推測出John的摔跤技術(shù)非常高超，因此可以推測這句話的意思是:“在所有我記得的高中摔跤比賽中，John從沒被打敗過?！币虼诉xD項。本段重在突出John摔跤技術(shù)的高超，較之D項,A項顯然不夠貼切.23．A。althoughB．becauseC．unlessD．until答案：B前一句說的是他從沒被打敗過,后一句說他是一個國家冠軍,顯然兩句之間是因果關(guān)系，因此選B項。24．A.wentforB．waitedforC．foughtforD．playedfor答案：Agofor“為……去，想要";waitfor“等待”；fightfor“為……而戰(zhàn)"playforsth.一般沒有這種用法,這里是要參加比賽。25．A。signB．stepC．taskD．move答案：D由下一句可知John滾動了一下，因此可以知道此處說的是:在比賽進行到一分半鐘的時候，John試圖做一個特別的動作。因此選D項，其余各項在文中找不到任何相關(guān)信息，可以排除掉.26．A。fixedB．threwC．caughtD．carried答案：Cfix“使固定”；throw“丟掉"；catch“抓住"；carry“搬運”。結(jié)合四個詞的意思以及摔跤當時的情景，我們可以看出此處選C項最為合適，這里說的是：“他的對手在他滾動半途中抓住了他?！?7．A。accidentallyB．fortunatelyC．unfairlyD．instantly答案：Dfortunately“幸運地"；unfairly“不公平地",顯然這兩項的詞義與此處的語境不符，太過于主觀化,并且在文中也沒有相關(guān)信息，可以排除這兩項。accidentally“意外地"；instantly“立刻，立即"，A項帶有一定的主觀色彩，而且此處強調(diào)的是整個事件發(fā)生的迅速，選D項更為貼切。28．A。calmB．comfortC．convinceD．forgive答案：B由倒數(shù)第二段的最后一句話可以看出John最終被對手打敗了。因此可以推測此處說的是：“我還記得當時在回家的車上，我的一個隊友試圖安慰John。”29．A。soB．orC．a(chǎn)ndD．but答案：C前一句說的是機會呈現(xiàn)出來了，后一句說的是他抓住并發(fā)掘了這個機會。兩者之間是遞進關(guān)系，因此選C項最為貼切。30．A.setB．putC．leftD．used答案：B由緊接的下一句可以推測出這句話說的是，“我們曾將教練在摔跤房說過的一句話作為那里大大的標語.”leave，use都沒有人說話的意思，因此可以排除.put“提出，表達,陳述"，及物動詞；set“放,置”，作“提出"之意時是不及物動詞;結(jié)合詞義及用法，可以看出應該選B項。31．A.meetsB．suitsC．getsD．fits答案：A這句話的意思應該是：當合適的時機遇到提前的準備時，運氣也就來了。32．A.strikingB．beatingC．knockingD．controlling答案：Bstrike“擊打”，強調(diào)一次性；beat“擊打”,強調(diào)反復性；knock“敲”。顯然摔跤中的擊打應該用beat。controlsb.“控制某人”,程度太重，不合適。因此選B項。33．A。equalB．exactC．restD．right答案：Dright“恰當?shù)摹?；exact“精確的,嚴格的"，顯然形容時機用right更為貼切。這句話的意思是:“但是他一直注意等待合適的時機出現(xiàn)。"34．A。messageB．passageC．decisionD．suggestion答案：Amessage有“教訓，啟示”之意，前面剛剛介紹了John失敗的事例，現(xiàn)在總結(jié)出的教訓是“準備"，因此message用在此處最為貼切。35．A。receiveB．followC．seizeD．save答案：Cseizetheopportunity“抓住機會"。其他的三個詞一般不與表示“機會”意義的詞連用，因此此處應該選C項。這句話的意思是：“不僅僅是發(fā)現(xiàn)機會，你要做的應該是一定要抓住機會.”Ⅲ.閱讀理解（每小題2分,共40分）閱讀下面的短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C、D)中,選出最佳選項。AAlotofpeoplearefamiliarwiththestoryofBraveGelert，adogthatfaithfullydefendedtheprince'sson，butwhichwasthenkilledwhileitwasfastasleepthroughaterriblemisunderstanding。However，onlyafewpeopleknowthatthestoryisreallyapackoflies.Letmeexplain.AboutahundredorsoyearsagotherewasahotelownerinWaleswhowasfedupwithbusinessbeingsobad.Hishotelwasstuckinthemiddleofnowhereandhardlyanyonecametostay.Then,oneday，hehadanidea。AfamousprincecalledLlewellynhadlivedintheareaduringtheMiddleAgesandhadbeenkeenondogs。Thisishardlysurprisingashuntingwasextremelypopularatthattime.SowhathedidwastomakeupthestoryofthebraveandfaithfulGelertandhowhehadbeenkilledbyhisungratefulmaster.Ofcourse,peoplewouldbefarmorelikelytobelievethestoryiftherewassomethingtheycouldsee.Sooneday,thehotelkeeperwenttothetopofahighhillandbuiltasortofmonument(紀念碑）fromthestoneshefoundlyingaround。Afriendofhis，whowasanaccountant，helpedhimtoconstructit。The“tale”sooncaughtonanddevelopedalifeofitsown。Afterwards,peoplecamefromfarandwidetoseethespotwherethedogwasburied.Needlesstosay,businessbecameverygoodforthehotelowner.36．Accordingtothetale,thedogwaskilledby________.A．a(chǎn)hotelownerB．a(chǎn)famousaccountantC．itsmasterD．theprince’sson答案：C根據(jù)第二段最后一句話SowhathedidwastomakeupthestoryofthebraveandfaithfulGelertandhowhehadbeenkilledbyhisungratefulmaster。可知：這條狗是被它的主人殺死的。37．Theownerofthehotelsuccessfullyimprovedhisbusinessby________。A．makingupastoryB．constructingahotelonthehillC．showingpeoplearoundhishotelD．invitingafriendtohelphim答案：A根據(jù)第二段前兩句話AboutahundredorsoyearsagotherewasahotelownerinWaleswhowasfedupwithbusinessbeingsobad.Hishotelwasstuckinthemiddleofnowhereandhardlyanyonecametostay.可知：為了改善自己的生意,旅館老板編造這個故事。38．Thehotelownerbuiltthestonemonumentinorderto________。A．makemoremoneyB．remembertheloyaldogC．showoffD．honortheprince答案:A根據(jù)第三段最后兩句話Afterwards,peoplecamefromfarandwidetoseethespotwherethedogwasburied.Needlesstosay，businessbecameverygoodforthehotelowner.可知：旅館老板建造紀念碑的目的在于賺取更多的錢.39．Whatcouldbethebesttitleforthispassage？A．APrinceandHisDogB．AProfit。MakingLieC．AMagnificentHotelD．AFaithfulbutUnluckyDog答案:B本文講述了一位旅店老板為了使自己的生意窘?jīng)r得到改善，賺取更多的金錢而編造了一個故事。因此本文的標題采用AProfit。MakingLie最合適。B(2009·寧夏、海南卷）Morethan10yearsago,itwasdifficulttobuyatastypineapple(菠蘿）．ThefruitsthatmadeittotheUKweregreenontheoutsideand，moreoftenthannot，hardwithanunpleasanttastewithin。Thenin1996,theDelMonteGoldpineappleproducedinHawaiifirsthitourselves。Thenewtypeofpineapplelookedmoreyellowy.goldthangreen。Itwasslightlysofterontheoutsideandhadalotofjuiceinside。Butthemostimportantthingaboutthisnewtypeofpineapplewasthatitwastwiceassweetasthehit.and.misspineappleswehadknown。Innotime,theDelMonteGoldtookthemarketbys
