题目列表(包括答案和解析)
11. A. out B. down C. cold D. up
答案:B 指导:be/feeldown是习语,意为“感到失望、情绪低落” =be/feeldisappointed.此处Jesse认为吃碗面条也许能使自己情绪好起来。out意义不通;叩意义与down正好相反;feelcold指身体上感到“冷”。
10. A. sad B. angry C. bored D. tired
答案:C 指导:此处指Jessie找不到美国人与其交谈、交朋友,因此倍感孤独,一个人在教室里学习,当然是感到“厌倦、无聊”。bored是过去分词形式的形容词,意为“感到厌倦的”。sad,angry在意义上有点太过,tired主要指身体上“感到疲劳的”。通过文章的叙述可知,此处主要强调Jessie精神上的孤独彷徨。
9. A. turn B. talk C. go D. come
答案:B 指导:Jessie想结交美国人跟他们交谈,以提高自己的英语水平,同时跟他们交朋友。talk to sb.“与……交谈”,符合语境。turntosb.“转向某人”,多指向某人求教或求救;go to /come to 后面多与表示“地点”的名词搭配。
8. A. friends B. family C. teachers D. students
答案:D 指导:通过后面的“课外”可断定,此处指的是学生。这儿指老师也不愿跟学生在课外交流。前面已经出现了“老师”,后面又出现了课外,因此老师在课外交流的只能是“学生”,而不是家人、朋友或其他老师。
7. A. All B. Any C. None D. Some
答案:C 指导:通过下文Jesste找不到真正的美国人进行交流看,这儿表达的意思是老师们不愿跟外国学生课外交往。none表示三者以上的全部否定,符合上下文的逻辑。all,some都违背Jessie因为没有朋友交流而孤单这一逻辑;any都用于疑问句或否定句.
6. A. friendly B. honest C. cold D. strange
答案:A 指导:although引导让步状语从句,只有friendly符合逻辑:尽管她的同学非常友好、开朗,但他们毕竟也是外国人。cold,strange不符合此处的表达逻辑,honest不是文章说明的中心问题。
5. A. happier B. easier C. harder D. better
答案:B 指导:此处是说认识美国人很难,easier said than done意为“说比做容易;说起来容易,做起来难”。如选happier, harder,better都是因为没有很好地理解此处作者要表达的意思。
4. A. Instead of B. Rather than
C. As for D. Except for
答案:C 指导:asfor意为“至于;说到”,用来连接上文,有时暗示不关心或轻视,如:As for you,I never want to see you here again(至于你,我再也不想在这儿见到你了)。instead of意为“而不是”,用来连接前后两个并列成分,如前后都出现动名词、不定式、介词短语等;ratherthan意思也是“而不是”,用法类似于insteadof;exceptfor意为“只是”,用来修正前面的总体说法或评价,如:Yourcompositionisgoodexcept forafewspellingmistakes(你的作文很好,只是有几处拼写 错误)。
2. A. find B. love C. meet D. comfort
答案:C 指导:前面已经出现了提示meet Americans,再考虑文章最后,她确实“认识”了特殊的人。find"发现、找到”,comfort"安慰”均脱离了文章的主题;love“喜欢”文章中没有信息支持。
3 A. clear B. dim C. true D. hopeless
答案:B 指导:dim当形容词“暗淡的”讲,可用来修饰灯光、梦想等。从前面的转折词but以及后面描述她对各方面情况的失望情绪可以断定,此处指她的梦想开始暗淡下来。clear"清晰的”,true"真实的”,与此处逻辑相背;干扰性最大的是D项,hopeless用来修饰人,意为“没有希望的、没有救的”,如:The teacher thinks the boy student is hopeless(老师认为这个男学生没救了)。

A month ago, Jessie arrived in America for a year of Eng- lish study. Now she would meet Americans and 1 their eulture firsthand. She would improve her English ability day by day. And,just maybe, she would 2 "someone special".
But that was a month ago. Since then, Jessie's bright dreams had grown very 3 .
The school was actually just a few rooms in an old building in the same rundown neighborhood. 4 meeting Americans and making friends, that was much 5 said than done Although some of Jessie's classmates were 6 and outgoing,they were foreigners. 7 of the teachers seemed interested in spending time with their 8 outside of class Where could Jessie find nice,trustworthy Americans to 9 to especially in that part of town? She didn't know, so she spent most evenings alone in her room, studying grammar and feeling 10 .
"Maybe I'll go have some nooclles,'she thought. "That always seems to help when I'm feeling 11 . "There was a fairly good Asian noodle shop down the street. Before long, Jessie was slurping a nice hot howl of beef noodle& 12 she was eating, a tall woman with blond hair entered the shop. The woman sat down at the next table and 13 a bowl of noodle soup. She looked sad and fired, and Jessie felt 14 for her.
Jessie wanted to say something, to 15 to this woman somehow. But what should she say? Finally, she said simply,
"The noodles are good here, aren't they?"
The woman smiled and said, "They sure are."
Thus began a one-hour 16 . Jessie learned that the woman had recently lost both her husband and her job and was
feeling depressed. 17 she told Jessie that just having someone to talk to really 18 . That was precisely the way Jessie
felt about her own situation.
That conversation was great English 19 for Jessie. But more 20 , it was the beginning of a great friendship, and a great year.
1. A. experience B. enter
C. understand D. study
答案:A 指导:Jessie初到美国,充满了理想,她既想跟美国人交朋友,又想“体验”美国文化。后面的firsthand"一手地、亲身地”也对此答案有一定的提示作用。B项enter当“进入”讲;D项study当“学习、研究”讲,从后面她想改进自己的英语这一点,可排除此选项,她到美国的主要目的是学习英语,而不是研究美国的文化;她人在美国,对美国文化不仅仅停留在“理解”的层面上,故排除C项。
