So he wrote to a prison ministry about sending letters to the prisoners. The prison minister replied that writing to the prisoners would be __12.__.

It was difficult to write those letters, especially without hope of any__17.__. Frequently, he felt discouraged, wondering if anyone __18.__ read his letters. However, this was his __19.__  chance,so he determined to continue.

【解析】

試題分析:這是一個感人的故事:曾經有一名男子,他非常聰明、富有創(chuàng)造力而且有教養(yǎng),但不幸的是,在一次事故中,他失去了雙腿和左臂。他的人生將何去何從?是悲觀失望,還是堅強面對?最后他選擇了給犯人寫信,以此給他們希望和鼓勵。

1.C 從上下文可知,他通過環(huán)球旅行,獲得了很多經驗 (experience),同時從第三段中的提示也可知答案。wealth表示“財富”,faith表示“信念”,confidence表示“自信”,都與語境不符。

2.A 從上文可知,他失去了雙腿和左臂,只剩下右手的拇指和另一個手指,所以他的情緒非常低落 (depressed)。embarrassed表示“尷尬的”,ashamed表示“慚愧的”,thrilled表示“激動的”,都不符合語境。

3.B 他很擔心他的人生一直都會承受這種痛苦 (suffering)。

4.D 從上文提示可知,他擔心自己再也不能過有意義的生活了。abnormal表示“不正常的”;regular表示“有規(guī)律的”;comfortable表示“使人舒服的”;meaningful表示“有意義的”。根據(jù)語境選D項。

5.C 從下文可知,他記得自己曾經非常喜歡收到信件 (letters),所以他決定給需要鼓勵的人寫信。

6.D 根據(jù)上下文可知,他意識到他的右手還有部分的功能 (function),還能夠費勁地 (with difficulty)寫點什么。其他選項都不符合語境。

7.C考查詞組:with difficulty“困難地”

8.D 上文提到他決定給需要鼓勵的人寫信,這里指他想 (wonder)到哪里找這些需要鼓勵的人。estimate表示“估計”,doubt表示“懷疑”,assume表示“假設”,都與語境不符。

9.C 從下文提示可知,答案選prisons(監(jiān)獄)。

10.C 根據(jù)常識判斷,對于監(jiān)獄中的犯人來說,他們希望獲得freedom(自由)。

11.B 為了他的計劃,他覺得他必須得讓犯人們收到他的信件,所以用reach(聯(lián)系,到達)。Release表示“釋放”,defend表示“辯護,保衛(wèi)”,know表示“知道”,都與語境不

12.A 根據(jù)上下文可知,監(jiān)獄官回信說寫信給犯人是可以的、可接受的 (acceptable),但讓犯人回信是違反監(jiān)獄的規(guī)定的。reasonable表示“合理的”,prohibited表示“被禁止的”,considered表示“經過仔細考慮的”,均與語境不符。

13.B 有了這樣的打算后,他開始給犯人寫信,filled with表示“有了,充滿”,根據(jù)語境選B項。

14.C 從上文可知,只能男子給犯人寫信,犯人無法回信,所以說是one-way(單程的)。

15.D 固定詞組to the limit表示“到……的極限”。

16.A 他全身心地投入到寫信當中,與犯人分享 (share)自己的人生經驗

17.B 對他來說,寫這些信是很困難的,特別是在沒有任何回信 (reply)的情況下。

18.D 他經常會感到很失落,有時候會想,實際上 (actually)是否有人會讀他的信。curiously表示“好奇地”,patiently表示“耐心地”,carefully表示“仔細地”,都與語境不符。

19.A 但對他來說,這是他唯一的 (only)希望,所以他決定繼續(xù)寫下去。

20.B 實際上,他的信很受犯人的歡迎,他的信件在牢房之間被傳遞,由于紙張薄,以至于到最后信都快成碎片了 (fall to pieces)。

考點:考查故事類完型填空

點評:本文講述了一個失去雙腿和左臂的人,他給犯人寫信,以此給他們希望和鼓勵。從本篇完型我們可以看出完形的考查趨勢。突出考察學生詞匯與結構,詞匯與結構這部分既是整個考試的基礎,也是本題考察的重點部分,在以后的復習中,要特別重視詞匯與語法的復習,重視自己基礎的夯實與提高,只有這樣,才能以不變應萬變,在高考中中立于不敗之地。另外在答題注意上下文理解,同時結合邏輯推理進行答題,題目就能迎刃而解了。

科目:高中英語 來源:2011-2012學年廣東省惠州一中高二下學期期中考試英語試卷(帶解析) 題型:閱讀理解

In the last years of the Warring States period, the State of Qin attacked the State of Wei on a large scale repeatedly and occupied large areas of land, for the State of Wei was too weak to defend itself. In 273 B.C., the Qin army launched a more serious attack upon the State of Wei than ever. The king of the State of Wei gathered his officials, and asked with a worried look if anyone could propose a way to defeat the Qin army. After years of chaos caused by the wars, the officials trembled when fighting was mentioned, and no one dared to speak of resistance.
At the critical moment when a large enemy force was bearing down upon the border, most of the officials persuaded the king to sue for peace, at the cost of giving away to the State of Qin the large area of land north of the Huanghe River and south of the Taihang Mountain. However Su Dai, a counselor, did not agree. He hurried up to the king and said, "Your Majesty, they don't think about the interests of the country at all. It is just because they are afraid of death that they ask you to sue for peace by betraying the country. Of course you can temporarily satisfy the ambition of Qin, but it will never stop attacking us until our land is totally given away."
He added,“Once there was a man whose house was on fire. People told him to put out the fire with water, but he would not listen. Instead, he carried a faggot to put out the fire, only to make the fire fiercer. Isn't it similar to carrying faggots to put out a fire if you agree to sue for peace at the cost of the land of the State of Wei?”
Though Su Dai's argument was very convincing, the king accepted the suggestion of those officials and gave away to the State of Qin a large area of the land of the State of Wei. As might be expected, the Qin army attacked the State of Wei in 225 B.C. again, surrounding the capital city Daliang and flooding it by digging open the dykes (堤防) of the Huanghe River. The State of Wei was finally destroyed.
【小題1】When asked how to defeat the Qin army, most officials _______.

A.were scared and at a loss what to do
B.looked worried and turned to Su Dai for help
C.asked a large enemy force to bear down upon the border
D.were extremely frightened and decided to give up fighting back
【小題2】The underlined phrase“sue for”in Paragraph 2 probably means _______.
A.demand B.beg for C.search forD.negotiate for
【小題3】Su Dai used the example of“carrying faggots to put out a fire”to show _______.
A.the ambition of the State of QinB.the serious results of giving in
C.the loss of the land of the State of WeiD.the trembling consequences of defense
【小題4】The story is mainly developed by _______.
A.timeB.logicC.making comparisonD.cause and effect
【小題5】The attitude of the writer towards Su Dai is _______.
A.approvalB.praiseC.neutralD.disapproval
