6、 dtask答案:c解析:逗號后的teaching disabled children是her first_2_的同位語,同時也與后面的a parttime writer相呼應(yīng),故此處選job。3a.instead bnormally ccertainly dthen答案:d解析:前面說she became a parttime writer for ibm,以下說寫作只是個人愛好,即那時寫作只是她的個人愛好,故填then。4a.general bdeep cpersonal dlively答案:c解析:從上下文來看,writing stories并非專職工作,只是一個
7、parttime job,由此可判斷這是personal interest。5a.interested banxiously cseriously dencouraged答案:a解析:從后面的他們(the publisher)立即提出了修改等來推測,出版商對她寫的故事產(chǎn)生了興趣。6a.film bstory cprogram darticle答案:b解析:由“they immediately suggested that she put them together to make.”可推測,此處說的是把3篇短的故事糅合在一起構(gòu)成1篇長故事,故選用story。7a.a foreign
8、 ba popular can unusual dan unknown答案:d解析:tracy wong剛剛開始寫小說,名不見經(jīng)傳,故可推測她是“不出名”的作家最為恰當(dāng)。8a.now that beven though cjust because dexcept that答案:b解析:該題考查根據(jù)上下文來選用適當(dāng)?shù)倪B接詞的掌握情況。前面說tracy所寫的人物很有意思,后面說her stories sometimes_9_readers uneasy可推測,該從句應(yīng)為讓步狀語從句,而even though正符合這一意義。9a.find bturn cleave dhold答案:c解析:此處說她寫
9、的故事有時讓讀者不安或不舒服。在這4個選項中只有l(wèi)eave具有這一用法。10a.make up bconnect with ccontrol dexplain答案:b解析:從后面她說的話“she used to have me speak with my grandmother,who died many years ago”及下段的內(nèi)容說明可知,她與afterlife world有關(guān),故用connect with。11a.events bchances cfeelings dmoments答案:d解析:前面說“我認(rèn)為我不能”,緊接著用but引出確有這些時刻發(fā)生了一些事,故用moments,后
10、面的when things come to me.是修飾moments的定語從句。12a.for no reason bfrom a distancecby accident das gifts答案:a解析:從上下文來看,此處是tracy說自己與afterlife world有關(guān)的故事創(chuàng)作,這里是舉例說明有時一些事情會“無緣無故”地發(fā)生。13a.description bpainting cscene dtalk答案:c解析:從語境來看,這里談?wù)摰氖撬龑憰鴷r的一件怪事。句意為“當(dāng)時她正不知道怎么完成一個以古代中國為背景的場景”。這是她寫的故事中一個場景,故用scene。從結(jié)構(gòu)來看,此處補充完整
11、為.how to complete a scene which was set in ancient china。14a.surprisingly bsuddenly cexpectedly dfortunately答案:b解析:根據(jù)語境“正當(dāng)她不知怎么完成一個以古代中國為背景的場景時,突然門鈴響了”。此處用suddenly突出兩個動作的發(fā)生相繼而來,銜接緊湊,同時突出了“沒想到”。15a.cooking bhistory cplay dmedicine答案:b解析:她正構(gòu)思以古代中國為背景的某個場景,而郵政快遞人員送來的書正好解了燃眉之急,故可推測應(yīng)是一本有關(guān)中國歷史的書。16a.known
12、 bsent crealized dordered答案:d解析:order意為“訂購,預(yù)訂”,在此符合語境。17a.unchanged bexcited cdetermined dunmoved答案:a解析:從后面的“she lives in the same.”及動詞remain來看,這里說的是盡管她出版了10本書,tracy并沒因成名而改變,即仍保持不變。18a.life bcity chouse dway答案:d解析:前面說她并沒有因成名而變化,即此處說的是她成名后生活方式?jīng)]有變化,仍然保持著27年前的生活方式。19a.success bwork cjoy dvariety答案:c解析:
13、由下文可知她的時間不是全用來寫作,有“娛樂”的時間。20a.writing breporting cluck dfun答案:a解析:從上文的“although in a more comfortable home”及下文“it wasn't just.”來看,此處說的是tracy并沒有只是埋頭“寫作”,而是生活中有更多的空間留給“娛樂”。.閱讀理解something i enjoy doing most in my leisure time is going to the cinema to watch a great film.it's two hours of relaxa
