“Down-to-earth” means someone or something that is honest, practical and easy to deal with. It is   36   to find someone who is down-to-earth. A person who is down-to-earth is easy to talk to and   37   other people as equals. A down-to-earth person is just the   38   of someone who acts important and proud.

Down-to-earth persons   39   be important members of society, of course.   40  they do not let their importance “go to their heads”. They do not   41   themselves to be better persons than others of less importance. Someone who is filled with his own importance and pride, often without cause, is   42   to have “his nose in the air”. There is   43   way a person with his nose in the air can be down-to-earth.

Americans   44   another expression that means almost the same as “down-to-earth”. The expression is “both-feet-on-the-ground”. Someone with both-feet-on-the-ground is a person with a good   45   of reality. He  46   what is called “common sense”. He may have   47  , but he does not allow them to   48   his knowledge of what is real.

The opposite kind of   49   is one who has his “head-in-the-clouds”. A man with his-head-in-the-clouds is a dreamer whose   50   is not in the real world.

   51  , such a dreamer can be brought back to earth.   52   words from a teacher can usually bring a day-dreaming student down-to-earth..

Usually, the person who is down-to-earth is very   53   to have both feet on-the –ground.   54   we have both our feet on-the –ground, when we are down-to-earth, we act honestly and openly   55   others. Our lives are like the ground below us, solid and strong.

解析:

36.主要测试形容词的词义区别:令人高兴地 ;悲伤地 ;普通的 ;惊讶的。结合具体的语境译文如下:遇到务实的人会令人高兴地。可知最佳答案。

37.主要测试动词的词义区别:遇到 ;迎接 ;受到 ;接受。结合语境可知译文:务实的人容易交流,并且容易平等地接受其他人。

38.主要区别所给的四个选项名词的词义:情况 ;种类 ;相反 ;例子。由语境可知译文:务实的人恰好和高傲、自大的人相反。所以最佳答案为opposite。

39.主要测试情态动词的词义区别:一定 ;可能 ;应该 ;将要。译文如下:当然,务实的人可能是社会中重要的成员。但是他们不会让自己的重要性冲昏自己的头脑。故此最佳答案也就明了啦。

40.主要测试四个连词的词义区别,结合第39题的译文可知最佳答案为but。

41.主要测试具体语境中动词的搭配:consider sb to be 结构。结合语境可知译文:他们不会把自己看的比那些不太重要的人更加重要。至此答案一目了然。

42.主要测试固定结构,结合具体语境可知译文:据说自傲、自大的人会毫无理由的摆出高傲的样子。进而可以选出最佳答案。

43.从文中的句子:There is   43   way a person with his nose in the air can be down-to-earth.可知译文如下:高傲的人不可能务实。另外结合上下语境可选答案。

44.主要测试动词的词义区别:发现 ;发现 ,找到 ;制造 ;使用 。文章第三段的译文如下:美国人使用了另外一个差不多和“务实”一样的短语。也就是“脚踏实地”。脚踏实地的人就是对现实有深刻理解的人。他拥有所谓的“常识”。也拥有梦想,但是他绝不会让梦想阻挠自己现实的知识。从以上的译文可知,应该选择use属最佳。

45.主要测试文章的上下语境,结合第44题的译文即可选择答案。

46.主要测试动词的词义区别:需要 ;缺少 ;拥有 ;喜欢。另外结合第44题的译文可选答案。

47.主要测试名词的词义:财富 ;梦想 ;成就 ;缺点。再结合具体语境可选出最佳答案。

48.主要测试动词的词义:阻挠 ;保护 ;拥有 ;获得。另外结合文章的行文即可选出最佳答案。

49.主要测试语境的利用,文章的前文主要叙述:一种务实的人,另外句子:The opposite kind of   49   is one who has his “head-in-the-clouds”. 中也暗示了本段略叙述相反的人:空想的人。

50.由文中的句子:A man with his-head-in-the-clouds is a dreamer whose   50   is not in the real world.可知译文如下:不切实际的人是个空想者,他的_____不符合实际。在结合四个答案:想法 ;生活 ;身体 ;头脑。所以答案一目了然。

51.主要测试副词的词义区别:总是 ;因此 ;然而 ;有时。再结合文章的具体语境可知选:有时,属于最佳。

52.由文中句子:  52   words from a teacher can usually bring a day-dreaming student down-to-earth.的译文:老师____话语通常会让一名空想的学生比较务实。可知:和老师搭配的应该是严厉的话语,故此选择sharp。

53.文章中句子:the person who is down-to-earth is very   53   to have both feet on-the –ground的主语为:the person ,也就是说主语为人,结合平时的学习可知只能选likely。

54.主要测试上下文的兼顾,只要能注意到下文的句子:when we are down-to-earth,该问题就可以迎刃而解了。

55.主要测试具体语境的理解,尤其是动词act及others。

Entrants(参加者)were to tell an interesting story about their    39   . Winners would receive a phone call from Mrs. Santa Claus(女圣诞老人)! Mrs. Claus would award(奖励) the lucky child free    40    of a local store.

阅读下面短文,从短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

I recently heard a story about a famous scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs. He was being interviewed by a reporter who asked him    36   he thought he was able to be so much more    37   than the average person.

He    38   that it all came from a(n)   39   with his mother that occurred when he was about 2. He had been trying to remove milk from the fridge when he    40   the slippery(光滑的) bottle, its contents running all over the kitchen floor.

When his mother came in,    41   shouting at him or giving him a lecture, she said, "Robert, what a great and wonderful    42   you have made! I have    43   seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been    44  . Would you like to get down and    45   in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?"

Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, "Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to    46   everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge(海绵), a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?" He chose the sponge.

His mother then said, "You know, what we have here is a    47   experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two    48   hands. Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can make it." The little boy learned that if he    49   the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful    50  !

This scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be    51  to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just    52   for learning something new, which is,    53  , what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment "doesn't   54  ," we usually learn something    55   from it.

Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was   3 .

When I began my high school years, I was quite interested in biology. I read lots of books of my father’s about animals, and I was   36   much educated about such matters as a 16-year-old could be.

    One Sunday afternoon, I was   37  with friends about animals. I said the whale(鲸鱼)was   __38  a mammal animal. They disagreed. Finally, I called a   39   over to help settle the matter. I knew I was  40  , so I was looking forward to the teacher  41   I was right. My friends were eager for an opposite answer. We asked her   42  the whale was a mammal. “No, the whale is a fish,” she said without a moment’s   43  .

You could have knocked me over with a feather. My   44   was hurt because I lost the argument, but that wasn’t the main reason I was too  45  to speak. I still knew I was right, which   __46  the teacher was wrong. Not only was she wrong,   47   she was completely ignorant(无知的) about something I thought was   48   knowledge. But she was a teacher who had taught a long time. Everyone   49   her and no one else thought she could be wrong.

__50  that, I hadn’t known grown-ups could be wrong. This   51  shaped the way I viewed people as I grew up.   52   I found anyone treated another person with too much respect and admiration, I thought——and still think——“   53   silly.” From that point on, I had no  54__ for authority(权威).
