What is intelligence(智力) anyway? When I was in the army I __36  an intelligence test that all soldiers took, and, against__37  of 100, scored 160.

I had an auto-repair man once, who, on these intelligence tests, could not__38 have scored more than 80. __39  , when anything went wrong with my car I hurried to him—and he always__40 it.

Well, then, suppose my auto-repair man  __41  questions for some intelligence tests. By  every one of them I'd prove myself a __42 . In a world where I have to work with my__43   , I'd do poorly.

Consider my auto-repair man __44  . He had a habit of telling __45 . One time he said, “Doc, a deaf-and-umb(聾啞) man__46  some nails. Having entered a store, he put two fingers together on the counter and made__47  movements with the other hand. The clerk brought him a hammer. He __48  his head and pointed to the two fingers he was hammering. The clerk__49   him some nails. He picked out the right size and left. Well, Doc, the __50  man who came in was blind. He wanted scissors(剪刀). __51   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__52  and asked for them. I've been__53  hat on all my customers today, but I knew __54 I'd catch you.”“Why is that?” I asked. “Because you are so goddamned educated, Doc. I knew you couldn't be very __55  .”

And I have an uneasy feeling he had something there.

解析:

36.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”,而不是沒有通過智力測驗。在遇到完形填空的選項是動詞時,要根據(jù)上下文仔細(xì)分析動詞與賓語的搭配關(guān)系。答案為C。 

37.against在這里表示對比關(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,為下文自己被一個他估計在這種智力測驗中可能得不到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。 

38.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,這是作者的估計,所以要填possibly。同時,“could not+have+過去分詞”表示“(過去)不可能”,也對正確選擇作了提示。frequently表“頻繁”,“經(jīng)!。不合題意。答案為B。 

39.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。 

40.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,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C和D都不是汽車修理工的職責(zé),容易排除。答案為A。

41.designed的意思是“設(shè)計”。假設(shè)我的汽車修理工為智力測驗設(shè)計題目。根據(jù)questions的定語for some intelligence tests很容易排除其他三個選項。介詞for的意思是“為了”。答案為C。 

42.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。

43.從上下文可以看出作者是一名智商很高的醫(yī)生,是腦力勞動者。比較I'd do poorly.,可知作者假設(shè)用自己的雙手工作,會做得很差。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。

44.第二段作者談?wù)摿怂钠囆蘩砉ぴ谥橇y驗中可能得比較低的分?jǐn)?shù),但是,在修理汽車方面卻很在行。第三段是作者對自己如果從事體力勞動可能會很差的假設(shè)。所以,在第四段再次講述修理工的故事,要用again。答案為A。

45.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。

46. needed作行為動詞的意思是“需要”。needed some nails是這位聾啞人進入商店的原因。選項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,就不會再進入商店了。答案為D。 

47.因為這位聾啞人到商店買釘子,所以他把兩只手指放在柜臺上作夾釘子的動作,另一只手做錘子敲打的動作(hammering movements)。答案為B。 

48.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。 

49.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。 

50.下一個進來的是一位盲人。the other man的意思是“剩下的另一個”,表示只有兩個人。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。

51.這是一個特殊疑問句。do you suppose是插入語。he asked for them是一個完整的句子,所以不能填What, Who或Which,它們在特殊疑問句中都充當(dāng)主語、賓語或表語。How表示方式,意思是“如何”。答案為B。 

52.盲人會說話,他們買東西時用自己的話語表達自己的意思就可以了。voice的意思是“說話的聲音”。答案為C。

53.我今天用這個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作及物動詞的意思是“練習(xí),實行”;examining的意思是“檢查,考試”。答案為A。 

54.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。at one的意思是“馬上,立刻”;in fact的意思是“事實上”;right now的意思是“就在現(xiàn)在”,均不合語意。答案為A。 

55.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,在部隊里的一次智力測驗中得過高分,但是,正因為如此,他才會按常規(guī)思維,所以汽車修理工說:“因為你受過足夠的教育,我知道你不可能很滑頭!眊oddamned表示褒義時,意思是“十分的,完全的”;表示貶義時,意思是“該死的,討厭的”。答案為D。

How do you know if your home is an easy aim for thefts(偷竊)? Around the holidays, many families don’t consider taking proper measures to prevent their homes from suffering holiday thefts. With just a few simple steps, you can better make sure of the safety of your home during all of the holiday celebrations. Here are a few tips for making it difficult to tell you are away from home.
● Either have a trusted neighbor pick up your mail and newspapers, or tell your mailperson to hold your mail until you return. Nothing says “Hey, we are not home!” like when your postbox is filled with all kinds of mails and you have many different newspapers in your driveway.
● Set several different lights in your house on random timers (隨機定時器)。Don’t leave your outdoor lights on all the time. Instead, put your outside lights on timers to be on during the nights.  If an outdoor light remains on for days at a time, it means that nobody is home to turn it off.
● If you have pets that you are not taking with you on vacation, leave them with a friend, rather than having someone come into your house every day to take care of them. When thefts see a neighbor or friend entering your house every day, they will know you are not home.
● Close all your curtains when you leave town. This is effective to deter possible thefts, as no one can see what is in your house. If they don’t know what there is to take, then the risk is even greater for them to break in.
● This article just has suggested a few tips to help you keep your house safe while you are on holiday. Nothing can truly protect your home unless you have it monitored by a professional home security system.
【小題1】. What is the main idea of the passage?

A.to tell us how to prevent the thefts around the holidays
B.to let the outdoor lights on all the time
C.to tell us many families suffering from the thefts while they are on holiday
D.to tell you to have your neighbor go to your house to take care of your pet.
【小題2】.If you are on holiday in other places, the lights in your house should________.
A. be lit in an irregular way              B. be kept on all the night
C. be replaced by random timers         D be turned on only once one day
【小題3】.To make your home is well protected, what does the writer advise you to do?
A.Have all the curtains closedB.Stop your mail service at once
C.Turn to your close neighbors or friendsD.Equip your home with security system
【小題4】. Most of the tips mentioned in the text seem to ______.
A.be very popular with familiesB.have no effect on preventing thefts
C.give a false impression on thefts. D.be a little hard to be brought into effect.
【小題5】.The underlined word “deter ”probably means “___________ ”.
A.discoverB.discourageC.surpriseD.a(chǎn)ttract
