  Mitsuaki recently arrived in the United States to enter university.He wants to do well in his studies anD.  1   to the new culture.But Mitsuaki has a   2  .It’s not his roommates.It’s not his school fees.It’s not even his English ability.It is that he doesn’t have a   3  .And in America, that really makes him a foreigner.Mitsuaki has already discovered a basic fact of American culture:  4   is a way of life.

  It’s   5   there’s no public transportation in AmericA#Many cities have taxis, buses and subways to help people get   6   work.Some large universities even have buses to take students to classes across the   7  .But most people find it much more   8   to drive,   9   they do have to deal with traffiC#Nowadays busy families often have more than one vehicle.Many people   10   their car as a status symbol.But no matter what their social status are, people without wheels feel   11  

  When Mitsuaki first arrived, he was amazed at how young many American drivers   12   were.Young people in America often get their driver’s license around age 16 by   13   a written test and a driving test.  14  , before they can get their license, they have to take a driver education   15  , which gives students hands-on practice with driving.It also helps to reduce the high   16   of insurance.For teenagers, being able to drive-and in some cases, having their own car-is a big   17  .It gives them a sense of power and freedom.It’s   18   to find an American teenager without one.

  Driving to Americans is   19   flying to birds.It’s almost part of their nature.For many Americans, being   20   the wheel is like their natural home.

解析:

(1)

adjust to”适应”与后文a new culture对应。stick to”坚持”,look forward to“盼望”,reply to“回答”都不合适。

(2)

从下列例子推理,应该是”问题”。到异国经常碰到的问题。

(3)

文章第二段作了说明。

(4)

与上一空一致。

(5)

从上下文来看,这里应该理解为”不是因为”。

(6)

get to and from work 意思是”上下班”。

(7)

across the campus意思是”在校园范围内”,与上文呼应。

(8)

句意是”自己开车更方便”。

(9)

根据上下文逻辑关系,这里应该用”even though(即使)”引导状语从句,表示”即使他们必须对付拥挤的交通”。

(10)

view sth as意思是”把……看作”符合情景。

(11)

此题采用排除法。feel接形容词或过去分词作表语。过去分词应该源于及物动词(词组),这样排除B。而put away意思是”搁在一边”,give away是”赠送”的意思。所以,只能选择tied down,意思是”感到束手束脚”。

(12)

分析句子结构,感叹句主语是many American drivers,不能再用they 作主语 。句意是”那儿许多美国司机是多么年轻!”

(13)

与下文test呼应。而take或attend只表示”参加”,没有表示结果。

(14)

in many cases意思是”在许多情况下”。上下文没有因果关系,不能用as a result。而as it were意思是”似乎是”,in a word表示”简言之”都不合适。

(15)

take a course是”学一门课程”。而take a lecture只表示”听一次讲座”。Take a driver education practice搭配不当。

(16)

insurance cost”保险费用”。

(17)

呼应上下文。it is a big deal意思是”是一桩大事”。这里与business”生意,事务”无关。

(18)

根据上下文可知,”美国人没有车是很少见的”。这里不能用special, 因为其意思是”特别的,特意的”。

(19)

难句。指示代词what表示”……的结构”。句意是”开车对于美国人来说就像鸟要飞一样”。

(20)

固定搭配。Behind the wheel意思是”开车”。

完形填空(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)

阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从1-10各题所给的A.B.C.和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

We all know that some things are obviously right. For example, it is right to be   1  to other people. It is also right to look after the environment. Some things are   2  wrong, too. For instance, we should not hurt or bully(欺负)others, nor should we litter. Rules often tell us what is right or wrong.

Rules can help the public make the right   3 , and remain safe. Car drivers have to obey traffic regulations that tell them the right things to do on the road to avoid crashes. Cyclists who give signals before turning or stopping help prevent   4 .

If people follow rules without taking other matters into consideration, it will be   5 for them to form what is sometimes called a “black and white” view (黑白分明的观点). For example, they may believe that people should always tell the truth, and that lying is   6  acceptable. Such people always stick to their views, even if it means that they may get into  7 .

Sometimes it may not be so easy to know   8  what is right or wrong. Some people choose not to eat meat because they believe that it is   9  to eat animals, but others argue that they can eat meat and   10  be kind to animals; some insist that stealing is always wrong, but others think that one does not need to feel so guilty (有罪的) when stealing some food to eat, if he lives in a really poor area and he is starving.

Rules help us live together in harmony, because they show us the right way to treat others. However, some people argue that rules may be confusing, having observed that rules change all the time, and that some schools have some regulations and others have different ones---so who is to decide what is right?

1.                A.kind           B.sensitive        C.fair  D.generous

 

2.                A.equally         B.slightly         C.clearly   D.increasingly

Our holidays were coming to an end but we had not yet realized our plan to drive to Dalat. Our   36   about Dalat with its shining cherry blossoms (花) and scenic views were   37   us to start our journey.

Then one morning our dream   38  . We hired a car and drove   39  to Dalat early in the morning. Splendid landscapes   40  on either side of the road   41   before us. The refreshing morning breeze was caressing (抚摸) our skin and in   42   spirits we were singing merrily.

Finally, I felt my     31      at my brother. The poor baby had no idea what    32      me so unhappy. Maybe he found me strange, the only person in this house    33      did not like him.

Then all that changed. I hardly remember everything of that day six years ago,   35    I do remember that I was feeling very angry. Somehow my feet led me to my brother’s bed. My hand, completely    36     from my mind, reached through the bars (护栏). At once, he reached out his small hand and softly touched   37      . And that was all I needed. Through all the unhappiness of the day, that one moment changed everything. How could I hate someone who made me     38     so important?

When I come across a good article in reading newspapers,I often want to cut and keep it.But just as I am about to do so,I find the article on the   31   side is as much interesting.It may be a discussion of the way to   32   in good health,or advice about how to behave and   33  yourself in society.If I cut the front articles,the opposite one is likely to suffer   34  ,leaving one half of it or keeping the text    35    the title.Therefore,the scissors would stay before they start,    36   the cutting would be halfway done when I find out the   37    result.

Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time,both worth your   39   .You can only take up one of them;the other has to wait or be   39   up.But you know the future is unpredictable—the changed situation may not   40   you to do what is left behind.Thus you are   41   in a difficult position and feel sad.How come nice    42  and clever ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life   43    greatly on your preference of your one choice to the other.

In fact that is what   44   is like;we are often   45   with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both  46    like a newspaper cutting.It often occurs that our attention is   47   to the thing only after we get into another.The former may be more important than the latter and this   48   a divided mind.I still remember a philosopher’s   49 :“When one door shuts,another opens in life.”So a casual(不经意的)    50   may not be a bad one.
