Ⅱ. 解题导语:老师提问Laiq:如果我给你一个苹果,又一个苹果,再给你一个苹果,现在你有几个苹果了?Laiq的回答令老师失望:四个。这是怎么回事呢?是Laiq太傻了吗?不,另有原因。
1. B 解析:根据首句是老师的提问,此处是:几秒钟后,Laiq自信地回答有四个苹果。reply回答,答复符合语境。
2. C 解析:老师正盼望着毫不费力的正确答案:三。根据常识,老师期盼正确答案。expect期盼符合语境。
3. C 解析:根据常识判断,这样简单的问题,学生竟然答错。所以老师是失望的。 4. B 解析:老师心想也许孩子没听准确。properly恰当地,正确地符合语境。anxiously 焦虑地;immediately 立即;impatiently无耐心地皆不符合语境。
5. C 解析:对应文章首句,“如果我给你一个苹果,再给你一个苹果,再给你一个苹果,你会有多少苹果?”
6. A 解析:Laiq看到了老师脸上的失望。他用手指又计算了一遍。calculate计算符合语境。
7. C 解析:但是在他的内心,他在搜索能让老师高兴的答案,而不是准确答案。search for 搜索,搜寻符合语境。
8. C 解析:根据上下文,在孩子的心里,计算题目不重要,老师高兴不高兴,这是重要的。Laiq在找让老师高兴的答案。
9. A 解析:对应上句,Laiq搜寻的不是问题的正确答案,而是让老师高兴的回答。 10. C 解析:这次,他犹豫不决地说:“四”。因为根据他的理解角度,确实是“四”,但是老师又认为不对,所以孩子犹豫了。hesitatingly犹豫地符合题意。
11. B 解析:根据常识可知,老师脸上依旧是失望的表情。stay停留,逗留符合语境。 12. D 解析:老师认为因为Laiq不喜欢苹果,而不专心。Lose focus 走神,失去焦点符合语境。lose heart 灰心不符合语境。
13. B 解析:老师用故意的兴奋,眨着眼睛问Laiq:如果我给你一个草莓,再给你一个草莓,再给你一个草莓,你有多少个草莓呢?
14. D 解析:老师换了一种出题的方式,希望Laiq能回答准确。
15. A 解析:Laiq回答对了,老师有了胜利的微笑,感到她的教学方法成功了。approach方法,途径符合语境。 16.C解析:老师看到自己终于教会了学生,得出正确的答案,想祝贺自己。congratulate 祝贺符合语境。
17. B 解析:但是依旧有一个问题。所以老师接着提问Laiq。“remained”留待,保持符合语境。
18. C 解析:Laiq说出了自己答案的原因:因为他的书包里已经有一个苹果了。 19. B 解析:当人们给出不同于你预期的答案的时候,不要认为他们错了。 20. A 解析:你没能考虑到的角度导致了不同的人有不同的答案。
Ⅲ. 解题导语:经营农场把作者喜爱动物和所学的建筑知识结合在一起,不仅实现了梦想,也开创了自己的一片天地。
1. C解析:细节理解题。根据文章第一段提到“Then I went away to Rhode Island School of Design to become an architect.”作者去罗德岛设计学院学习成为建筑师,可知。
2. B解析:细节理解题。根据文章第二段最后一句“it’s not just milking cows. There’s nutrition and finances and a lot of big day-to-day decisions.”乳牛场的工作不仅仅是产牛奶,而且包括营养状况和大量的重大决策。
3. D解析:细节理解题。根据文章的倒数第二段第一句“land is the biggest obstacle. Securing enough land.”土地是最大的障碍,确保足够的土地。
4. A解析:主旨大意题。全文是关于乳牛场的经营,管理;也就是建立成功的乳品企业。 5. A解析:猜测词义题。根据文章第三段上下文“the cows give you milk, but they also give you a lot of manure”和生活常识可知:奶牛不仅产奶,而且还会产生大量的粪肥。
