Well,then,suppose my auto-repair man (46)C questions for some intelligence tests.By every one of them I'd prove myself a (47)D.In a world where I have to work with my(48)C,I'd do poorly.
Consider my auto-repair man (49)A.He had a habit of telling (50)B.One time he said,"Doc,a deaf-and-dumb (聾。 man(51)Dsome nails.Having entered a store,he put two fingers together on the counter and made(52)Bmovements with the other hand.The clerk brought him a hammer.He (53)Chis head and pointed to the two fingers he was hammering.The clerk (54)Ahim some nails.He picked out the right size and left.Well,Doc,the(55)D man who came in was blind.He wanted scissors (剪刀).(56)B do you suppose he asked for them?"I lifted my right hand and made scissoring movements with my first two fingers.He burst out laughing and said,"Why,you fool,he used his (57)Cand asked for them.I've been(58)Athat on all my customers today,but I knew(59)AI'd catch you.""Why is that?"I asked."Because you are so goddamned educated,Doc.I knew you couldn't be very (60)D."

分析 這篇文章是關(guān)于智力問題的.文章脈絡(luò)是博士受教育多,但動(dòng)手能力差,在回答汽車修理工設(shè)計(jì)的智力測驗(yàn)題時(shí),被思維定勢所縛.汽車修理工的智商不高,卻手腳伶俐,巧舌如簧.他認(rèn)為博士中了他的圈套是受教育過多所致.

解答 41-45 CABDA 46-50 CDCAB 51-55 DBCAD 56-60  BCAAD
41.C.動(dòng)詞辨析.根據(jù)賓語an intelligence test和下文中所得分?jǐn)?shù)160分,可以確定作者"參加了一次智力測驗(yàn)",而不是沒有通過智力測驗(yàn).在遇到完形填空的選項(xiàng)是動(dòng)詞時(shí),要根據(jù)上下文仔細(xì)分析動(dòng)詞與賓語的搭配關(guān)系.答案為C. 
42.A.短語辨析,against在這里表示對(duì)比關(guān)系,平均成績(an average)100分與作者得到的160分相比較,說明作者的智力水平高,為下文自己被一個(gè)他估計(jì)在這種智力測驗(yàn)中可能得不到80分的汽車修理工提出的問題難住了的故事埋下伏筆.答案為A. 
43.B.副詞辨析.根據(jù)所提供的情境"when anything went wrong with my car I hurried to him"可以判斷出這位汽車修理工不是一名軍人,他沒有參加上文提到的那次智力測驗(yàn),這是作者的估計(jì),所以要填possibly.同時(shí),"could not+have+過去分詞"表示"(過去)不可能",也對(duì)正確選擇作了提示.frequently表"頻繁","經(jīng)常".不合題意.答案為B. 
44.D.副詞辨析.Yet是并列連詞,表示轉(zhuǎn)折,意思是"然而".在智力測試中不可能得高分,但是,在修理汽車方面卻很在行.答案為D. 
45.A.動(dòng)詞辨析.fixed的意思是"安裝、固定".不言而喻,汽車修理工的工作是修理汽車,每當(dāng)作者的汽車出了毛病急急忙忙去找他時(shí),他都能把汽車修理好.checked的意思是"檢查",只檢查解決不了問題.選項(xiàng)C和D都不是汽車修理工的職責(zé),容易排除.答案為A.
46.C.動(dòng)詞辨析.designed的意思是"設(shè)計(jì)".假設(shè)我的汽車修理工為智力測驗(yàn)設(shè)計(jì)題目.根據(jù)questions的定語for some intelligence tests很容易排除其他三個(gè)選項(xiàng).介詞for的意思是"為了".答案為C. 
47.D.名詞辨析.根據(jù)下文中這位汽車修理工的話"Why,you fool,"可以確定答案為D.
48.C.名詞辨析.從上下文可以看出作者是一名智商很高的醫(yī)生,是腦力勞動(dòng)者.比較I'd do poorly.,可知作者假設(shè)用自己的雙手工作,會(huì)做得很差.where I have to work with my hands是定語從句,作world的定語.I'd do poorly.是虛擬語氣.答案為C.
49.A.副詞辨析.第二段作者談?wù)摿怂钠囆蘩砉ぴ谥橇y驗(yàn)中可能得比較低的分?jǐn)?shù),但是,在修理汽車方面卻很在行.第三段是作者對(duì)自己如果從事體力勞動(dòng)可能會(huì)很差的假設(shè).所以,在第四段再次講述修理工的故事,要用again.答案為A.
50.B.名詞辨析.下文所講述的聾啞人買釘子和盲人買剪刀的事都是笑話(jokes).tales的意思是"傳說,謊言".答案為B.
51.D.動(dòng)詞辨析.needed作行為動(dòng)詞的意思是"需要".needed some nails是這位聾啞人進(jìn)入商店的原因.選項(xiàng)A(bought)有很大的迷惑性.一些考生認(rèn)為這位聾啞人到商店的目的是買釘子,所以應(yīng)填bought.但是,bought some nails(買了一些釘子)表示結(jié)果,如果他買了釘子,就不會(huì)再進(jìn)入商店了.答案為D. 
52.B.動(dòng)詞辨析.因?yàn)檫@位聾啞人到商店買釘子,所以他把兩只手指放在柜臺(tái)上作夾釘子的動(dòng)作,另一只手做錘子敲打的動(dòng)作(hammering movements).答案為B. 
53.C.動(dòng)詞辨析.售貨員給他拿出了錘子,他搖了搖頭,表示售貨員誤解了他的意思.答案為C. 
54.A.動(dòng)詞辨析.售貨員給他拿出了釘子.packed的意思是"包裝";sent的意思是"送";sold的意思是"賣".都與下文中所提的情境He picked out the right size and left.不符.答案為A. 
55.D.形容詞辨析.下一個(gè)進(jìn)來的是一位盲人.the other man的意思是"剩下的另一個(gè)",表示只有兩個(gè)人.the right man的意思是"合適的人".the clever man的意思是"聰明的人".都與上下文的意思不符.答案為D.
56.B.副詞辨析.這是一個(gè)特殊疑問句.do you suppose是插入語.he asked for them是一個(gè)完整的句子,所以不能填What,Who或Which,它們?cè)谔厥庖蓡柧渲卸汲洚?dāng)主語、賓語或表語.How表示方式,意思是"如何".答案為B. 
57.C.名詞辨析.盲人會(huì)說話,他們買東西時(shí)用自己的話語表達(dá)自己的意思就可以了.voice的意思是"說話的聲音".答案為C.
58.A.動(dòng)詞辨析.我今天用這個(gè)故事耍弄了我的所有顧客.trying sth.on sb.的意思是"用某事耍弄某人";proving的意思是"證明";practising作及物動(dòng)詞的意思是"練習(xí),實(shí)行";examining的意思是"檢查,考試".答案為A. 
59.A.短語辨析.for sure的意思是"肯定地,有把握地".汽車修理工在下文中所說的話說明他有把握使作者上當(dāng)受騙.a(chǎn)t one的意思是"馬上,立刻";in fact的意思是"事實(shí)上";right now的意思是"就在現(xiàn)在",均不合語意.答案為A. 
60.D.形容詞辨析.smart除了有"聰明,伶俐"的意思外,還有"滑頭,詭"的意思.從上文的內(nèi)容我們可以看出,作者是一位醫(yī)生,在部隊(duì)里的一次智力測驗(yàn)中得過高分,但是,正因?yàn)槿绱,他才?huì)按常規(guī)思維,所以汽車修理工說:"因?yàn)槟闶苓^足夠的教育,我知道你不可能很滑頭."goddamned表示褒義時(shí),意思是"十分的,完全的";表示貶義時(shí),意思是"該死的,討厭的".答案為D.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 考生應(yīng)在通讀全文的基礎(chǔ)上,根據(jù)全文大意,展開邏輯思維,瞻前顧后,分析這一空格處在 句中的地位,前后的關(guān)系和它所起的作用,認(rèn)真觀察選項(xiàng),仔細(xì)推敲,確定最佳答案.

18.When I was in my fourth year of teaching,I was also (and am still) a high school track and field coach(田徑教練).One year,I had a student,John,who entered my class when he was a junior.John changed to our school from Greece,and seemed to be interested in sports,so I encouraged him to join our track team.I explained to him that even though he had never taken part in it before,I did believe that he could do well in any event,and I would be willing to coach him at whichever ones interested him.He accepted the offer,and began to work hard at every practice.
About a month later,I had found out from other sources that John was a first-class tennis player,winning vaious junior awards in his home country.I went to him asking,"John,I really appreciate that you came out for the track team,but why didn't you play tennis instead?It seems that would interest you a lot more,since you're so good at it."John answered,"Well,I like tennis,but you told me that you believed in me,and that you thought I could do well in track,so I wanted to try it for that reason."
From then on,I often remember my student's reply.I told it to a friend and she suggested I write it down to share somewhere with more teachers.No matter how critical (不滿的) students can be of them-selves,I've found that a simple"I trust that you can do it!"can go a long way!

21.The passage is mainly written forA.
A.tachers B.parents C.students D.players
22.According to Paragraph 1,the author seems to think more about John'sC
A.PE marks    B.self-confidence   C.interest in sports   D.state of health
23.Why did John take part in the track team?B
A.He had been an excellent runner.
B.He was encouraged by his teacher.
C.He liked running more than tennis.
D.He had no tennis coach to train him.
24.The purpose of this passage is probablyD.
A.to build a close teacher-student relationship
B.to introduce a new way of sports training
C.to explain the value of sports and games
D.to show the importance of encouragement.

2.I was waiting for a phone call from my agent.He had left a message the night before,telling me that my show was to be cancelled.I called him several times,but each time his secretary told me that he was in a meeting and that he would call me later.So I waited and waited,but there was still no call.Three hours passing by,I became more and more impatient.I was certain that my agent didn't care about my work,and he didn't care about me.I was overcome with that thought.I started to shout at the phone,"Let me wait,will you?Who do you think you are?"
At that time I didn't realize my wife was looking on.Without showing her surprise,she rushed in,seized the phone,tore off the wires,and shouted at the phone,"Yeah!Who do you think you are?Bad telephone!Bad telephone!"And she swept it into the wastebasket.
I stood watching her,speechless.What on earth…?
She stepped to the doorway and shouted at the rest of the house,"Now hear this!All objects in this room-if you do anything to upset my husband,out you go!"
Then she turned to me,kissed me,and said calmly,"Honey,you just have to learn how to take control."With that,she left the room.
After watching a crazy woman rushing in and out,shouting at everything in sight,I noticed that something in my mood(情緒)had changed.I was laughing.How could I have trouble with that phone?Her antics helped me realize I had been driven crazy by small things.Twenty minutes later my agent did call.I was able to listen to him and talk to him calmly.
