The Olympic Games

李仕才

一、阅读理解

When I was in college, I spent a semester studying abroad at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland. In my brief time there, I came to love Scotland for its local culture, food and scenery.

You might think：“Scotland isn’t so different from the U．S.; they still speak English there！” But when I stepped off the plane, I was greeted by a gruff-voiced(声音粗哑的) lady at customs. “You’ll be coming from America, then？” She asked me, and I nodded. “But all of our guys are leaving Glasgow for the States！” Her thick Scottish English and sense of humor were obvious right away. I was not in the U．S. any more, where customs agents never joke around.

As I settled in at the university, I could feel myself getting used to hearing—and even speaking—the Scottish English of my customs agent. In classroom discussions, people would say “em” when they couldn’t think of what to say instead of “um”， which was great fun. After the first few weeks, I stopped chuckling about this. Strathclyde students stayed up late into the night, running around campus and shouting, “Go! Lat’s go, lat’s go(curse word) Glasgow！” Pretty soon, I was no longer saying “thanks” at the supermarket—instead, I said “cheers”．

My Scottish friends drank whiskey and ate haggis(羊杂碎布丁). I drank plenty of whiskey but I was ashamed to admit that I wasn’t brave enough to try haggis. Scottish bakeries usually sell bridies(肉馅饼). Add a cup of tea—though I usually Americanized it by choosing coffee instead—and a bridie makes for a delicious breakfast.

Every time I took a train anywhere in Scotland, I’d gaze out at the rolling hills and wonder if grass was greener than anywhere else in the world. Then I’d reflect that there’s a reason this country was the birthplace of golf.

【解题导语】 本文介绍了“我”在苏格兰学习期间的体验：居民友好，食物独特，景色优美，苏格兰英语与美式英语有区别。

1．What did the author think of the lady at customs? A．Impolite. C．Serious.

B．Friendly. D．Calm.

B 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Her thick Scottish English and sense of humor were obvious right away. I was not in the U．S. any more, where customs agents never joke around.”可知，作者认为她的苏格兰英语和幽默用得恰到好处，而美国的海关工作人员却从来不跟人开玩笑；据此可推断，作者认为这位在海关工作的女士是友好的，故B项正确。

2．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “chuckling” in Paragraph 3?

A．talking loudly C．laughing quietly

B．comparing D．hearing

C 解析：词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“In classroom discussions, people would say...was great fun. After the first few weeks, I stopped chuckling about this.”并结合“Pretty soon, I．..said ‘cheers’．”可推知，在教室讨论时，“我”发现他们的发音很有趣，几周后，“我”适应了他们的发音，所以不再偷笑。故画线词意为“偷笑”，C项正确。

3．What is the author’s purpose of writing the text? A．To explain why Scotland is famous for golf.

B．To promote the development of Scottish catering trade. C．To introduce different pronunciations of “em” and “um”． D．To share his experiences in Scotland as an exchange student.

D 解析：写作意图题。通读全文并结合第一段中的“In my brief time there, I came to love Scotland for its local culture, food and scenery.”可知，本文旨在和读者分享“我”在苏格兰做交换生期间所感受到的苏格兰文化、美食和美景，故D项正确。

二、单句语法填空

2

答案：be admitted be admitted to/into college “被大学录取”。

2．In my opinion, it is you rather than he that should take ________ (responsible) for the accident.

答案：responsibility take responsibility for sth. “为某事承担责任”。 3．There are too many TV________(advertise) between the programs.

答案：advertisements 由many可知此空应填名词advertisement “广告”，且应用其复数形式。

4．He was disabled from birth, but he never felt frustrated, ________ did he give in to any difficulty.

答案：nor 分析句子结构可知，最后一个分句应用部分倒装结构，由前一分句中的never可知，此句表示“也从不”，故填nor。

5．They replaced their beloved old cars ________expensive new sports cars. 答案：with replace A with B “用B替换A”。

6．It's true that she made a mistake but she hardly deserves ________ (lose) her job.

答案：to lose deserve to do sth. “应做某事”。

7．There seems to be a fierce ________(compete) in China for senior high students to enter college or university.

答案：competition 由前面的修饰成分a fierce可知此处应用名词competition “竞赛，比赛”。

8．Eating properly and exercising ________(regular) can make one enjoy a healthier and longer life.

答案：regularly 由前面的properly可知，此处应填副词修饰exercising。 9．He bargained ________the merchant for an hour before he bought the vase. 答案：with bargain with sb. “与某人讨价还价”。

10．The harder you try to beat him, the ________(many) likely you will get hit. 答案：more “the＋比较级 ...，the＋比较级 ...”为常用句式，意为“越……，(就)越……”。

【解题导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者工作很累，回家路上遇到下雨，心情沮丧。当看到一对夫妇在雨中溜冰的画面，作者感觉到改变自己的思维模式会使自己走上一条更健康、更快乐的生活之路。文章告诉我们改变思维模式的重要性。

【核心词汇】go up上升 get around四处走动 set off出发 show up出现，到场

1．B 根据第一段中的“I managed to get my dream job”可知，作者毕业后找到了自己理想的工作，这份工作应是作者引以为傲的成就，故选B项，achievement意为“成就”。adjustment“调节”；agreement“同意，一致”；treatment“治疗，对待”。

2．A 根据本句中的“I must stand in a crowd every day”可推知，这份工作是劳累的，故选A项，tiring意为“累人的，令人疲倦的”。relaxing“令人放松的”；disappointing“令人失望的”。

5

3．D 根据语境可知“我每天都必须站在人群中，这常常让我有想退缩的思维模式”。“leave＋sh.＋宾补”表示“让某人……”，故选D项。remind“提醒”；expect“预期”。

4．B 根据上文的“Manhattan is a walking town”可知，曼哈顿是一个步行商业区，所以你有残疾的话是很难四处走动(get around)的。go up“上升”；set off“出发”；show up“出现，到场”。

5．C 根据语境可知，出租车很贵，乘坐地铁需要(requires)走下几十个陡峭的台阶才能到达地下。request“请求”；support“支持”；surround“围绕”。

6．A 根据本句中的“the subway”以及常识可知，人们在地面(ground)下乘坐地铁，故选A项。

7．D 句意：这让我只有一种选择——公共汽车。根据上文提到的交通方式都不适合作者可知，此处表示作者唯一的选择(choice)。

8．A 句意：一天晚上，在为我的工作苦苦奋斗后，我一直自怨自艾，当我走向公共汽车站的时候又下起了雨。根据语境可推知，此处是指在为工作奋斗(struggle)了一天之后。experience“经历”；influence“影响”。

9．C 参见上题解析。when在此处表示“当……的时候”，符合语境。

10．D 根据上文的“it started to rain”和空后的“without an umbrella”可知，下雨了，但是作者没有带伞，所以作者心情越来越沮丧(upset)。

11．B 根据上文可知，没有雨伞，作者变得越来越沮丧，心想自己在这个城市里不会取得成功了。make it是固定短语，表示“达成目标，获得成功，做成某事”。

12．C 句意：然后，我目睹了最美丽、最短暂的时刻。根据下文介绍的一对夫妇在雨中溜冰的画面可知，这是作者看到的。recall“召回，回想起”；observe“观察”；witness“目睹”；realize“认识到”。

13．D 句意：一对夫妇穿着溜冰鞋，手拉着手，他们溜冰的时候像是在跳探戈舞。hand in hand“手拉手地”，是固定搭配，故选D项。

14．A 根据上文的“it started to rain”和“They were all wet”可知，虽然他们身上都被淋湿了，但他们把雨(rain)当成是一个机会和一种浪漫。

15．B 句意：我突然对在雨中等待感到感激，因为如果我在出租车或地铁上，我会完全错过这美景。根据句子结构可知，此处是由if引导的对过去的虚拟句，结构为“if＋主语＋had＋过去分词，主语＋should/would /could＋have＋过去分词”，所以选B项。

16．C 根据语境可知，作者觉得如果乘坐其他交通工具就会完全错过这一幕，故选C项。exactly“正是，恰好”；instantly“立即，马上”；entirely“完全地”；suddenly“突然”。

17．B 虽然这是生活中的一件小事，但却是作者在探索健康和幸福的旅途中的一个重要时刻。strange“奇怪的，陌生的”；small“小的”；normal“正常的”；different“不

6

同的”，故选B项。

18．C 根据语境可知，作者看到的这一幕给了作者力量。humor“幽默”；honesty“诚实，正直”；power“力量”；principle“原则”。

19．D 句意：当我改变我的思维模式去做可能的事情，并努力摆脱那些影响我日常行为的自我限制的信念时，即使是片刻，我都将会走上一条更健康、更快乐的生活之路。根据句意可知，此处表示“即使”。still“仍然”；yet“还，然而”；also“也，而且”；even“即使”。

20．A 根据语境可知，此处表示“影响(affect)我日常行为的自我限制的信念”。

第一处：are→is。考查主谓一致。whose引导的定语从句的先行词是代词“one”，因此谓语动词应该用单数。

第二处：because→that。考查名词性从句。主语为名词reason，表语从句中的连接词要用that。 第三处：smile→smiles。考查动词时态和主谓一致。由后文“which makes me”可知，主句应用一般现在时；主语为第三人称单数，谓语动词应该用单数。

第四处：make→making。考查非谓语动词。make与前面的谓语动词之间无连词，故此处应用现在分词短语作结果状语。

第五处：honest→honesty。考查名词。形容词不能作主语，应该用名词。 第六处：lies后加to。考查固定用法。lie to sb.意为“对某人说谎”。

第七处：the→a。考查冠词。此处表示他是一个热心并且有同情心的人，表示泛指，应该用不定冠词。

第八处：删除in。考查介词。句意：无论何时我有困难，他都愿意帮助我。have trouble意为“有困难”，in多余。

第九处：excellently→excellent。考查形容词。作is的表语应该用形容词。

8

第十处：him→me。考查代词。Petou能帮助别人也能帮助我。
