分析 本文是一篇记叙文.全文讲述了Joe虽然曾是个好学生,但是突然情况急转直下,虽然他努力过,但是没有成效.一场雷雨却改变了Joe的学习轨迹,在别的同学不能集中注意力的情况下,Joe却掌握了老师讲的所有概念,于是老师鼓励他给同学们讲解他是如何做到这一点的,在一个阴雨天,Joe却看到了希望的阳光,而充满阳光的画也成了他最珍贵的记忆.
解答 36.C 考查形容词辨析.根据上文中的转折连词Yet"然而"可知,在Joe上学之前所有的迹象都表明他会成功,然而后来事情就令人失望(disappointing)了.因此选择C项与上文的success相对应.故选C.
37.D 考查名词辨析.根据"Yet things turned out to be quite disappointing."可知,Joe的成绩不好,even"甚至"表示递进关系.因此此处应是"在四年级的时候乔的学习成绩在全班排名靠后".at the bottom of"在…底部",符合题意.故选D.
38.B 考查动词辨析.Joe夜以继日地学习,后面的关键词but一转,应是指与"夜以继日地学习"相反或相对的情况,所以此处应是指"这也没有起到作用",而happen"发生",finish"完成",last"持续",均不符合语境.故选B,表示"起作用,有效果".
39.D 考查连词辨析.根据语境可知,在那天下午,当数学老师开始讲解难懂的概念的时候,天空中乌云密布.as表示"当…时候".故选D项.
40.A 考查动词辨析.句中有连词though,与"the thunder…attention"构成让步、转折关系.根据语境可知"尽管她尽力让孩子们集中注意力".concentrate"集中",故选A.41.B 考查动词辨析.根据上下文语境可知,"孩子们都没有注意老师讲的内容,除了Joe".因此是没有人"掌握"这些概念,故选B.
42.C 考查动词辨析.根据上文"老师拍着他的后背告诉他走到别的同学中给他们解释一下他是怎么做到的"可知,老师的所做所说都给乔很大的鼓舞,故选C,encouraged"受鼓舞的,受激励的".
43.C 考查名词辨析.根据下文出现的drew和pictures可知数学课之后是美术课,故选择art.
44.B 考查形容词辨析.根据第二段中的"…dark clouds covered the sky,and the storm set in."可知,在那样的一天,所有的学生都很自然地画出了暗色的图画,除了Joe之外.故选B.
45.A 考查动词辨析.根据下文的"curious about the change"可知,数学老师很好奇他的变化,由此我们可推知乔的成绩在那个下午的数学课后就开始提高(improving)了.故选A.
46.B 考查形容词辨析.根据语境可知,对于乔的进步数学老师很吃惊也很好奇.故选B.47.D 考查形容词辨析.根据本文的故事可知,就在那个暴风雨的下午,乔开始进步了,所以他画的明亮的金灿灿的太阳代表了他豁然开朗的心情,应是乔珍视的财富.故选D.
48.A 考查动词辨析.根据语境可知,"就在这一天我认识到了我的聪明".wake up to"认识到",符合语境.put up with"忍受";get on with"进展";look down upon"瞧不起",均不符合语境.故选A.
