36.A
解析:在特定语境中选择恰当名词的能力
A.skill为技术,技巧;B.experience为经验,经历;C .practice为训练,练习;
D.method为方法,手段。综合全文以及此题空后的定语从句(she picked up by herself),此题应填写作技巧,故答案为A。
37.C
解析:在特定语境中选择恰当名词的能力
题空后teaching disabled children为一种工作,并且作题空的同位语,所以应选C为
正确答案。
38.D
解析:在特定语境中选择恰当副词的能力
根据上下语境,此处是说她成为一个兼职作者时,强调在当时,写故事是她自己的兴趣,所以应选D作为答案。
39.C
解析:在特定语境中选择恰当形容词的能力
此处是指她的个人兴趣,属常识题,应选C作为答案。
40.A
解析:在特定语境中选择恰当形容词或副词的能力
根据上下语境,出版商立刻建议她把故事结集出版,可知,出版商对她的故事感兴趣,其实此题是一只保留了形容词interested的从句,补全为:Because the publisher was interested in her stories.因从句主语和主句主语一致,所以把从句的主语和be动词都省略了,只保留了形容词interested。所以A为正确答案。
此题乍看起来,好像与前后无太大关联,其实玄机藏在文后,此题的区分度很好。
41.B
解析:在特定语境中选用正确名词的能力
此题属前提示题,由前句的her stories可知此空应填story,所以B为正确答案。
42.
解析:在特定语境中选用正确冠词和形容词的能力
根据上下语境,应为“对于一个不出名的作家,这是一笔丰厚的资金”,而对于B,C
两项则不合适,所以D为正确答案。
43.B
解析:在特定语境中选用正确连词的能力
根据前后两个形容词interesting(有趣的)和uneasy(不安的),可知前后两句并不是因果关系,所以排除A、C。B. Even though纵然,即使,D.Except that除……之外(不包括在内)。根据上下语境,此题是为了引出她的作品的另一特点leave readers uneasy,所以B为正确答案。
44.C
解析:在特定语境中选用正确动词的能力
A.找到,发现,B.变成,变得,C.leave听任其在某处,使保持某种状态,D.hold使某人保持特定位置、姿势、态度等。此题是指使得读者保持不安的状态,所以C为正确答案。
45.B
解析:在特定语境中选用正确动词的能力
通过下句;speak with my grandmother,who died many years ago.的后暗示,可知此
题应选B,connect with(与……联系)。
46.D
解析:在特定语境中选用正确名词的能力
据上下语境和46空前的do(表强调),have(经历,遭受)和when引导的定语从句,A、B、C三项中的名词不能作先行词,所以应选D。
此题难度较大,可译为“我认为我不能同死去的人取得联系,但是我确实经历了事情无缘无故来到我面前的时刻。”
47.A
解析:在特定语境中选用正确短语的能力
A.for no reason无缘无故;B.from a distance从远处;C.by accident偶然地,意外地;D.as gifts作为礼物。根据上下文,应选A为正确答案。
48.C
解析:在特定语境中选用正确名词的能力
A.description描述,B.painting绘画,C.scene场景、情景、风景,D.talk谈话。
此题应与50题一起考虑,据常识,50题应填history。50题填好以后,与中国历史有关,作者所要完成的应该是一套古代中国场景小说。故48题应选C。
49.B
解析:在特定语境中选用恰当副词的能力
据上下语境“我正在考虑……,这时门铃突然响了”,此题也为常识题,提前没有约
人,所以C排除,这里也不存在幸与不幸,故D也排除,而A.Surprisingly吃惊地,用在这里程度太深,故也应排除。所以B为正确答案。
50.B为正确答案。
51.D
解析:在特定语境中选用恰当过去分词的能力
此题为介词+动名词作宾语结构,根据前后文逻辑应为她没有订购、预订,所以选D为正确答案。
52.A
解析:在特定语境中选用恰当形容词的能力
据后文She lives in the same 53 she lived 27 years ago的暗示,可知她没有变,
所以选用A为正确答案。
53.C
解析:在特定语境中选用恰当名词的能力
常识题,lives in the house,所以选C为正确答案。
54.C
解析:在特定语境中选用恰当名词的能力
与55题综合考虑,在这里有更多可以享受幸福快乐的空间,而不仅仅是写作,所以C为正确答案。
55.A
解析:在特定语境中选用恰当名词或动名词的能力
综合全篇,最后一句总结出她不只写作,也享受生活,所以A为正确答案。
Tracy Wong is a well-known Chinese-American writer. But her writing 41 was something she picked up by herself. After her first 42 , teaching disabled children, she became a part-time writer for IBM. 43 , writing stories was simply a 44 interest. Tracy sent three of her stories to a publisher(出版商). 45 , they immediately suggested that she put them together to make a single one long 46 and paid Tracy a $50,000 in advance. “A pretty money,” said the publisher, “for 47 writer.”
48 Tracy’s characters (人物) are interesting, her stories sometimes 49 readers uneasy: those about the supernatural. “My mother believed I could 50 the afterlife world,” she told a close friend. “She used to have me speak with my grandmother, who died many years ago.”
“Can I? I don’t think I can,” Tracy said with a laugh. “But I do have 51 when things come to me 52 .” Once, she was wondering how to complete a 53 set in ancient (古代的) China. 54 the doorbell rang. It was a FedEx delivery man, with a copy of a book on Chinese 55 . It came without her having 56 it.
Though she has published 10 books, Tracy has remained 57 by her fame. She lives in the same 58 she lived 27 years ago — although in a more comfortable home. There’s more room for 59 in her life----and it wasn’t just 60 .
