【解析】

試題分析:

1.本句句意應(yīng)為“家人們擠滿了演出大廳,大廳里充滿了興奮的情緒”,表示“充滿、擠滿”用filled。

2.根據(jù)上文語(yǔ)境可知我成為大家關(guān)注的中心。Attention 關(guān)注 pressure 壓力 impression 印象 debate 爭(zhēng)論。

3.最終,在幾周的準(zhǔn)備之后,我將通過(guò)舞蹈表演來(lái)展示我辛勤勞動(dòng)的成果。show off顯示,炫耀 take over 接管 look after 照看  give up 放棄。

4.根據(jù)后面的描述可知作者的這次表演失敗了,所以本句句意應(yīng)為“一切都應(yīng)該是完美的--- 我是這樣認(rèn)為的! reasonable表示“合乎情理的”;suitable表示“合適的,適宜的”;obvious 表示“明顯的”; perfect表示“完美的”。D相符合邏輯。

5.. 本句描述了自己的穿戴,所以句意應(yīng)為“我等在后臺(tái),穿著黑色的緊身衣,扎著金色的腰帶!北硎尽笆⒀b打扮”用dress up,fold up 折疊;cover up 蓋住;mix up混淆。

6.本句句意應(yīng)為“典禮的主持人清晰地大聲宣布下面表演的是我們班。”表示“宣布”用announced。

7.演出自然少不了觀眾,演員們要面對(duì)觀眾表演,所以本句句意應(yīng)為“我們的舞蹈班成員在一個(gè)兩英尺見(jiàn)方的箱子上做固定的動(dòng)作,面向觀眾。”所以B項(xiàng)正確。

8.由語(yǔ)境“我保持微笑...”可知作者此時(shí)非常自得。本句句意應(yīng)為“我的動(dòng)作真的非常簡(jiǎn)單”,所以C項(xiàng)符合句意。

9.作者在本句中描述了出現(xiàn)失誤前我的表演,本句句意應(yīng)為“我臉上帶著微笑,高昂著頭,注意力如此集中以至于我沒(méi)有看到我的腳伸向了哪里。”表示“保持某種狀態(tài)”用keep,所以D項(xiàng)正確。contain表示“包含”; hide表示“躲藏”;share表示“分享”;keep表示“保持,保存”。

10.這里用where 引導(dǎo)狀語(yǔ)從句表示地點(diǎn):我只顧著笑對(duì)觀眾,卻沒(méi)有注意自己的腳下。

11.下文I slipped during a performance可知“我沒(méi)踩上同伴的箱子,滑倒了!彼允褂胹lip。

12.自己的表演出現(xiàn)了失誤,肯定非常尷尬,所以本題句意應(yīng)為“我能夠聽(tīng)到觀眾席上傳來(lái)的咯咯笑聲,我感到血沖上了臉!睉(yīng)選擇D項(xiàng)。

13.如果出錯(cuò),但保持微笑可以使觀眾注意不到你的錯(cuò)誤。leave離開(kāi);cheer歡呼;believe相信,均不符合題意。

14.下文as I continued with the routine可知我努力按老師說(shuō)的做。follow one’s advice, 按某人說(shuō)的做。

15.根據(jù)作者的描述可知,作者本來(lái)是想要表現(xiàn)一下的,結(jié)果卻出現(xiàn)了失誤,所以自己的希望落空了,因此本句句意應(yīng)為“當(dāng)幕布落下,我的希望也落空了。”故A項(xiàng)符合語(yǔ)境。

16.由后文的tasting the salt from the tears可知作者哭了起來(lái),所以本句句意應(yīng)為“我哭了起來(lái)”,故D項(xiàng)正確。

17.上文I sobbed bitterly可知在當(dāng)時(shí)的情境下,自然沒(méi)有人能一下子使她情緒穩(wěn)定下來(lái),所以應(yīng)該用calm down表示“使……平靜“。turn down 拒絕 let down 失望 put down放下。

18.從最后一段I finished the routine with a smile on my face可知我依然按要求完成舞蹈動(dòng)作,并沒(méi)有因失誤而半途而廢。事情過(guò)去這么多年后,作者能夠回過(guò)頭來(lái)重新審視自己,所以本句句意應(yīng)為“近來(lái)我認(rèn)識(shí)到那天晚上我就是一個(gè)明星。”所以B項(xiàng)符合語(yǔ)境。

19.根據(jù)前面的敘述可知作者當(dāng)時(shí)的失誤使得自己非常尷尬,所以本句句意應(yīng)為“我當(dāng)時(shí)很尷尬,但是我克制住了自己沖出舞臺(tái)的沖動(dòng)。”所以B項(xiàng)符合句意。

20.分析上下文邏輯可知,此處表示我沒(méi)有走掉而是堅(jiān)持到演完,所以本句句意應(yīng)為“相反地,我臉上帶著微笑完成了動(dòng)作! instead : 替代關(guān)系,進(jìn)一步說(shuō)明之意, however: 僅表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。

考點(diǎn):本文是一篇記敘文

點(diǎn)評(píng):講述作者在7歲時(shí)在一次舞蹈表演時(shí)出現(xiàn)失誤,從自信到沮喪的思想變化過(guò)程。答題前一定要讀懂全文,弄清文章要表達(dá)的思想,注意前后段落之間的關(guān)系。答題中,一定要認(rèn)真分析,注意選項(xiàng)與上下文的關(guān)系,與前后單詞的關(guān)系。對(duì)于一時(shí)沒(méi)有太大的把握的題可以放到最后再來(lái)完成,因?yàn)橛袝r(shí)答案可以從下文內(nèi)容體現(xiàn)出來(lái)。答完后再通讀一篇文章,看看所選選項(xiàng)能不能是語(yǔ)句通順,語(yǔ)意連貫。

Last night, when I was driving back home, I noticed a hitchhiker(搭便車(chē)的人) who was having no luck getting a ride. I rolled down my  36  and signed to the man to my car. I asked him where he was  37  and he told me he needed a  38  to his doctor’s office which would close in 15 minutes. I told him to  39  and he gratefully did so.
40  he got in he told me that he was a  41  and went out to sea for weeks at a time. He took medicine for his nerves and  42  to get another prescription(處方) before he left on the boat. He said that he had prayed (祈禱) 43  would stop for him so he could be there before the  44     office closed. With some  45  driving we managed to make it there in about 10  46. I then asked him how he  47  on getting back home and he said he could walk. “I’ll patiently  48     for you and bring you back,” I told him. He  49  me and said he should only be about 15 minutes.
Afterwards he got back in my 50 and tried his hardest to pay me back: offering me dinner, gas money, even offering to ship me 40 lbs of scallops (海扇貝)! I  51  refused, gave him a smile card and asked him to help someone else the next time he had a  52. I drove him back to where I had picked him up and  53  one more “thank you” he was on his way.

I started winning competitions. We still had very little money -- my father had to borrow $5,000 to pay for a trip to the International Young Pianists Competition in Ettlingen, Germany, in 1994, when I was 12. I realized later how much pressure he was under. Tears streamed down his face when it was announced that I'd won -- earning enough money to pay back our loan.
It was soo n clear I couldn't stay in China forever. To become a world-class musician, I had to play on the world's big stages. So in 1997, my father and I moved again, this time to Philadelphia, so I could attend The Curtis Institute of Music. Finally our money worries were easing. The school paid for an apartment and even lent me a Steinway(斯坦威鋼琴).At night, I would sneak into the living room just to touch the keys.
Now that I was in America, I spent two years practicing, and by 1999 I had worked hard enough for fortune to take over. The Chicago Symphony orchestra heard me play and liked me, but orchestra schedules were set far in advance. I thought I might join them in a few years.
The next morning, I got a call. The great pianist Andre Watts, who was to play the "Gala Benefit Evening" at Chicago's Ravinia Festival, had become ill. I was asked to replace him. That performance was, for me, the moment. After violinist Isaac Stern introduced me, I played Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1. My father's mouth hung open throughout the entire song.
I played until 3:30 a.m. I felt something happening. Sure enough, it was a great success. Still, my father kept telling me, "You'd better practice!" But living in America with me was beginning to relax him. In Beijing I'd been fat -- he made sure I ate -- and he'd been skinny. Now I was getting thin. He wasn't.
My father and I had often practiced a piece called "Horses," a fun version for piano and erhu. One night in Carnegie Hall, after I played Chopin and Liszt, I brought Dad out on the stage, and we played our duet(二重奏). People went crazy -- they loved it. My father couldn't sleep for days. He was too happy to sleep.
There have been lots of concerts in Carnegie Hall, but for me playing there was especially sweet when I remember the cold days in Beijing. Together, my father and I worked to reach the lucky place where fortune spots you, and lets you shine.
【小題1】In the first paragraph his father cried when it was announced that he'd won mainly because__________.

A.his father was excited that his son succeeded at last.
B.his father was under too much pressure.
C.they could pay back the loan with the prize.
D.his father was proud of him.
【小題2】 Tell the order of the events.
a. He and his father moved to Philadelphia.
b. He was asked to replace the great pianist Andre Watts.
c. He and his father played “Horses” together.
d.The Chicago Symphony orchestra heard his performance.
e. The Curtis Institute of Music lent him a Steinway
A.a(chǎn), e, c, b, dB.b, e, a, d, cC.d, a, e, b, cD.a(chǎn), e, d, b, c
【小題3】 Which of the following statements agrees with the author?
A.The writer’s father had been very fat before they went to America.
B.The writer thought he would be one of them soon when he knew the Chicago Symphony orchestra heard him play and liked him.
C.The Curtis Institute of Music finally eased their money worries.
D.One can achieve his dream if he is lucky enough.
【小題4】 The underlined word there in the last paragraph refers to_________.
A.America B.Beijing.C.Carnegie HallD.All the places he went to.

Reading poems is not exactly an everyday activity for most people. In fact, many people never read a poem once they get out of high school.
It is worth reminding ourselves that this has not always been the case in America. In the nineteenth century, a usual American activity was to sit around the fireplace in the evening and read poems aloud. It is true that there was no television at the time, nor movie theatres, nor World Wide Web, to provide diversion. However, poems were a source of pleasure, of self-education, of connection to other people or to the world beyond one’s own community. Reading them was a social act as well as an individual one, and perhaps even more social than individual. Writing poems to share with friends and relations was, like reading poems by the fireside, another way in which poetry had a place in everyday life.
How did things change? Why are most Americans no longer comfortable with poetry, and why do most people today think that a poem has nothing to tell them and they can do well without poems?
There are, I believe, three culprits (肇事者): poets, teachers and we ourselves. Of these, the least important is the third: the world surrounding the poem has betrayed (背叛) us more than we have betrayed the poem. Early in the twentieth century, poetry in English headed into directions hostile (不利的) to the reading of poetry. Readers decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair at night, that they belonged where other difficult-to-read things belonged.
Poets failed the readers, so did the teachers. They want their students to know something about the craft (技巧) of a poem, and they want their students to see that poems mean something. Yet what usually occurs when teachers push these concerns on their high school students is that young people decide poems are unpleasant crossword puzzles.
【小題1】 Reading poems is thought to be a social act in the nineteenth century because _______.

A.it built a link among peopleB.it helped unite a community
C.it was a source of self-educationD.it was a source of pleasure
【小題2】The underlined word “diversion” in Paragraph 2 most probably means _______.
A.diversityB.change C.a(chǎn)musementsD.happiness
【小題3】In the last paragraph, the writer questions _______.
A.the difficulty in studying poems
B.the way poems are taught in school
C.students’ wrong ideas about poetry
D.the techniques used in writing poems
【小題4】According to the passage, what is the main cause of the great gap between readers and poetry?
A.Poems have become difficult to understand.
B.Students are poorly educated in high school.
C.TV and the Internet are more attractive than poetry.
D.Students are becoming less interested in poetry.

B
If you enjoyed the spring-like sunshine over the weekend and thought the weather has finally turned a corner, you’re sadly mistaken.
Chilly (寒冷的) days and grey clouds are forecast for the week—making it far too early to pack away the winter woollies.
Temperatures will struggle to rise above zero at night and fail to make double figures during the day.
People enjoy the spring sunshine in Sefton Park, Aigburth, Liverpool. Forecasters have predicted a return to chilly weather this week.
Met Office forecaster Charlie said, “It was a nice, dry, bright weekend in many parts and Monday is going to be a similar affair for many.”
“Temperatures will be between 5℃and 8℃, which is below average for the start of spring.”
The sun will disappear from the south of the country after today, with dry but cloudy conditions forecast for tomorrow and Wednesday. 
Wednesday will be warmest of the three, with temperatures peaking at 9℃. But this is still two degrees below the March average for the district.
Overnight, temperatures will drop sharply, with lows of minus 3℃for the next three nights.
“It will generally stay on the cold side of average,” said Mr. Powell.
The March misery comes at the end of the coldest winter for more than 30 years.
Temperatures in December, January and February struggled to stay above zero, with the UK’s average 1.5℃, making it the deepest freeze since 1978—79.
It claimed there was just a one-in-seven chance of a cold December to February.
The agency also sadly predicted a “barbecue summer”, saying it was “quite optimistic” that it would be warmer and drier than average.
Following the two mistakes, the Met Office has dropped its long-range seasonal forecasts and will instead publish a monthly prediction for Britain, updated once a week.
In its defense, it says that while short-term forecasts are extremely accurate, Britain’s size and geographical position makes long-term predictions much more challenging.
It also points out that it gave warning of any heavy falls of snow this winter.
60. According to the passage, the weather on Tuesday in the south might be _______.
A. dry but cloudy  B. sunny but chilly  C. sunny and warm  D. cloudy and chilly
61. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. British people can put away their winter clothes now.
B. The Met Office has shortened its forecast range.
C. The weather forecast becomes more and more accurate.
D. The agency was quite confident of long-term predictions.
62. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. The big chill isn’t over yet                    B. A warm spring finally arrives
C. A heavy snow is on the way               D. The Met Office drops forecasts
63. From the passage, we can conclude ________.
A. the weather report is more and more important
B. British people become worried about bad weather
C. Britain has just experienced a very freezing winter
D. The Met Office can always predict any heavy snow falls accurately

B
How does a place become a World Heritage Site ( 世界遺產(chǎn) ) ? It takes a lot of people to decide.
1 )  If a country wants one of its places to be on the World Heritage List, it has to ask UNESCO ( 聯(lián)合國(guó)教科文組織 ) . The place must be important and special. UNESCO put the Great Wall on the list in 1987 because, it said, it was a great part of Chinese culture and beautifully made to go with the land. When a country asks, it must also make a plan for taking care of the place.
2 )  The World Heritage Committee of UNESCO talks about different places and decides whether to put them on the list. The committee meets every June. Many experts help the committee to decide.
3 )  After a new place goes on the list, UNESCO gives money to help keep it looking good. If a place is in serious danger, it may be put on the list of World Heritage Sites in Danger. UNESCO gives special care and help to those places.
4 )  Countries have to give UNESCO regular reports about places on the list. If UNESCO thinks a country isn’t taking good enough care of a place, the site will be taken off the list.
45.The passage implies that ________.
A.becoming a world heritage site takes hard work.
B.a(chǎn) place with beautiful scenery is often on the World Heritage List.
C.a(chǎn) place which was taken good care of is often on the World Heritage List.

A.can ask UNESCO for more money and help
B.should continue to take special care of it
C.won’t take trouble of caring for it
D.will try to put it on the List of World Heritage Sites in Danger
47.The passage mainly discusses ________.
A.how the World Heritage Committee of UNESCO decides a World Heritage Site
B.how the World Heritage Committee of UNESCO protects a World Heritage Site
C.how the Great Wall becomes a World Heritage Site
D.how a place becomes s World Heritage Site
48.The purpose of putting a place on the World Heritage List is ________.
