試題分析:一個窮困但誠實的年輕人靠在街頭拉小提琴來賣藝謀生。一天他意外地發(fā)現(xiàn)在人們給的錢里有一張中了大獎的彩票,于是第二天他仍然到了前一天去的地方,希望能找到失主,歸還彩票。故事給我們的啟示是“Honesty is the best policy”。

1.B名詞辨析。A上午;B 晚上;C下午;D中午。從第二段中的The next night,可知年輕人是晚上在街頭賣藝。所以B選項正確。

2.C形容詞辨析。A安靜的;B令人興奮的;C漂亮的,優(yōu)美的;D 熟悉度。從下文The music sounded more pleasant.判斷可知此處應(yīng)用beautiful來形容音樂的美妙動聽,故正確答案是C。

3.C動詞短語辨析。A 路過;B走開;C 慢下來;D加速。從情理可知人們聽到優(yōu)美動聽的音樂時,應(yīng)該是放慢腳步,然后把錢放到賣藝人面前。所以C選項正確。

4.D名詞辨析。A錢包;B 箱子;C包,袋子;D 帽子。從下文18空后面的“thing into my hat.”可知人們把錢放到年輕人面前的帽子里,故選D選項。

5.A名詞辨析。A紙;B布料;C玻璃;D塑料。根據(jù)下文17空后面的on that paper 判斷可知年輕人在紙上寫的字,然后展開鋪到地上。所以A為正確選項。

6.B動詞辨析。A唱歌;B玩耍;演奏C工作;D等待。從上下文可知年輕人是演奏小提琴的,所以判斷他是放好東西后,開始拉小提琴,故B選項正確。

7.C名詞辨析。A詩;B文章;C單詞,字;D課文,文本。從下文“Last night ,a gentleman put a(n)       thing into my hat. Please come to get it back.”可知紙上寫的是尋找失主的內(nèi)容,故C選項正確。

8.A形容詞辨析。A重要的;B極好的; C危險的;D有趣的。從下文可知年輕人拾到的是中了$5000,000大獎的彩票,所以此處用形容詞“重要的”,故A選項正確。

9.D動詞辨析。A爭論;B在乎;介意;C期望,預(yù)計;D猜想。從上文curious可知人們看到這種情況感覺很好奇,所以應(yīng)該是猜想這個重要的東西是什么。所以D選項正確。

10.B動詞辨析。A來;B匆忙,倉促;C走,散步;D離開。從故事內(nèi)容可以推斷丟了大獎的人應(yīng)該是心情急躁的所以動作也是匆忙而且下文的in a hurry 也是重要提示,所以B選項正確。

11.D動詞辨析。A得到;B發(fā)現(xiàn);C忘記;D丟失。從上下文可知此處年輕人拾到了中獎的彩票來等待失主,所以別人來找的時候,應(yīng)該是問他丟了什么,D選項正確。

15.B動詞短語辨析。A分發(fā);B拿出;C尋找;D撿起。從下文put it in the hat when hearing the music.可知他應(yīng)該是從口袋里拿出錢來,把錢放到帽子中,同時把彩票也給帶了出來。所以B選項正確。

16.C動詞辨析。A忘記;B記起;C返回,歸還;D撿起。從上下文可知年輕人第二天去原地等待的目的是認(rèn)為失主將會回到原地找丟失的彩票,所以C選項正確。

17.B副詞辨析。A 哪兒;B 為什么;C 何時;D 如何。從情理的推測以及下文的回答都可以知道別人想問的是他這樣做的原因,所以B選項正確。

18.B連詞辨析。A因為;B盡管;C如果;D 盡管,當(dāng)。。。時候。從語境可知此句和后句是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,所以用although,表示盡管我沒有很多錢,但是我卻很快樂。

19.A名詞辨析。A錢;B食物;C時間;D運(yùn)氣。從文章開頭的a poor artist 以及他拉小提琴,人們給他帽子里放錢等可以判斷此處是沒有很多錢。

20.B名詞辨析。A友誼;B誠實;C希望;D愛。從故事內(nèi)容可以判斷文章主要講述的是年輕人的誠實,不把拾到的東西據(jù)為己有。所以B選項正確。

Then, in 1925, her back was broken in several places in a school-bus accident. Throughout the rest of her life, the artist had many operations, but nothing was able to cure the terrible pain in her back. However, the accident had an unexpected side effect. While lying in her bed recovering, Kahlo taught herself to paint.
In 1929, she got married to Diego Rivera, another famous Mexican artist. Rivera’s strong influences on Kahlo’s style can be seen in her early works, but her later works from the 1940s, known today as her best works, show less influence from her husband.
Unfortunately, her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and1940s, even in her home country. Her first one-woman show in Mexico was not held until 1953.For more than a decade after her death in 1954, Kahlo’s works remained largely unnoticed by the world, but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last.
