Question

Oliver Twist, one of the most famous works of Charles Dickens, is a novel reflecting the tragic fact of the life in Britain in the 19^th century.

The author who himself was born in a poor family wrote this novel in his twenties with a view to reveal the ugly masks of those cruel criminals and to 36  the horror and violence hidden underneath the narrow and dirty streets in London.

The hero of this novel was Oliver Twist, an orphan, who was thrown into a world full of  37

and crime. He suffered enormous pain, 38  hunger, thirst, beating and abuse. While reading the tragic experiences of little Oliver, I was shocked by his sufferings. I 39  the poor boy, but at the same time I detested the evil Fagin and the brutal Bill. To my relief, as was written in all the best stories, the goodness eventually conquered  40   and Oliver lived a happy life in the end. One of the plots that attracted me  41  is that after the theft, little Oliver was allowed to recover in the kind care of Mrs Maylie and Rose and  42   a new life.

How can such a little boy who had already suffered oppressive pain 43  pure in body and mind? The reason is the nature of goodness. I think it is the most important information 44  in the novel by Dickens --- he believed that goodness could conquer  45  difficulty.

Goodness is to human what water is to fish. He who is without goodness is an utterly  46  person. On the contrary, as the famous saying goes, “ The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose.” He who is with goodness undoubtedly is a happy and useful person. People receiving his help are grateful to him and he also gets gratified from what he has done, and thus he can do  47  to both the people he has helped and himself.

Answer 1

解析:

這是一篇《霧都孤兒》讀后感。作者分析了主人公的生活經(jīng)歷，最后得出結(jié)論：施舍于己于人便是施舍于己。正如諺語所說的“送人玫瑰，手有余香”。

重點(diǎn)詞語鏈接：

be thrown into…    被投入…

be shocked by…    對…感到吃驚

to one’s relief      使某人欣慰的是

on the contrary     相反

be grateful to       感激

get gratified from    得到滿足

36. C  根據(jù)本句句子結(jié)構(gòu), 此處動詞應(yīng)當(dāng)與前面的并列動詞 reveal“揭露” 同義,expose表示滿意 “揭露,揭穿”,符合語境。open打開；exploit開發(fā)；cover覆蓋。

37. B  根據(jù)and crime 可知，要選的詞應(yīng)與crime同類，再根據(jù)下文的hunger可推測，應(yīng)用poverty表示“貧窮”。honour恐懼；glory榮耀；imagination想象。

38. C   such as 后多接同類并列的幾個(gè)名詞,不接句子; for example和for instance同義,它們后面常接句子,有時(shí)后面可接一個(gè)名詞。

39. D  此處用feel sorry for表示“同情”。look down upon輕視；make an apology for道歉；play a joke on戲弄。

40. D  根據(jù)語境可知,此處應(yīng)該是與goodness意義相反的詞,因此只能用devil,表示 “邪惡”。kindness好心; carelessness粗心；relationship關(guān)系。

41. B  此處表示的意義為 “最吸引我的東西”,其原級形式為much,因此最高級為most。

42. A  此處表示 “開始了新的生活”, 故選C。

43. B  根據(jù)下文的形容詞pure可知，此處應(yīng)用系動詞，并且有“保持 ”的意思，故用remain。

44. B  此處為“暗含”之義，故用imply。contain含有；import進(jìn)口；add添加。

45. A  善行能戰(zhàn)勝一切困難。用every表示“所有的，一切的”。some某些，little很少，much很多。

46. B  由上文 “一個(gè)沒有善行的人”推斷用worthless,表示 “無價(jià)值的,無用的”。且下文中的“He who is with…and useful person”也有提示。gracious親切的；earnest真摯的；modest謙遜的。

47. C  根據(jù)上下文語境可知,此處表示 “對……有好處”,用。do justice to公平對待，適當(dāng)處理。
