解答 41-45DCBAA 46-50CBABB 51-55DCBAC 56-60CDABD
41.D 考查句意理解及固定短语 根据前一句"…a writing assignment that would require three months of travel through Europe"提到:几年前作者要到欧洲进行为期三个月的旅行;可知此处表示的应是:我在国外待过几次;be abroad意为:在国外;故选D
42.C 考查名词 由于上文提到了"Europe",故此处指的应是"continent"意为:欧洲大陆;故选C
43.B 考查形容词 根据上文"I had been…but I could hardly claim to know my way around the(42)."(虽然我在国外待过几次,但也称不上对欧洲的线路很熟)以及句中的副词"Moreover(再者,而且 )",可知此处表达了与前一句相近的意思,即:而且,我的外语知识仅限于大学学的那一点法语;故选B
44.A 考查动词词义辨析 根据下文"And ever since,I have never hesitated to head for even the most remote places,(52)"(从那以后,即使是到最偏远的地方去,我也从来没有犹豫过)可知,此处表达的意思应是:对于欧洲之行他应感到有些犹豫;故选A
45.A 考查名词 根据上文"but I could hardly claim to know my way around the(42),"以及本句中的"local geography"可知,此处与其对应的应是出行的问题;故选A
46.C 考查形容词 根据上文讲述了作者不了解欧洲的地理以及交通线路,甚至不懂当地的语言,所以可推测出,这里表达的应是:他在那里的采访以及调查是不可能顺利进行下去的;故选C
47.B 考查名词 根据后一句"I sat down to write a letter begging off"(我坐下来写了一封回绝信)以及上文表达了作者对欧洲之行的犹豫,可知作者应该想去,但怕完不成任务,才写了这样一封信的;所以此处表达的应是:他是带着相当大的遗憾写这封信的;故选B
48.A 考查动词 本句的意思是:信写到一半的时候,一种想法掠过我的脑海;break through:攻破,突破;run through贯穿,跑着穿过;故选A
49.B 考查动词 根据句中的"So"可知,此处是由"you can't learn if you don't try(如果你不尝试,你是学不会的)"得出的结论,即:因此我接受了这项任务;故选B
50.B 考查名词 结合下一句"But by the time I had finished the trip I was an experienced (51)"可知,本句的意思是:虽然有遇到困难的时候;故选B
51.D 考查名词 根据上文可知,作在者克服了一些困难,结束了为期三个月的欧洲之旅后,他已经成了一位有经验的旅行者;本题容易错选A,因为文章的开头讲到了作者去欧洲,是为了完成一项写作任务;但是文章描述的重点则是:作者对欧洲的地理环境,交通以及语言的不熟悉,并没有介绍与记者的工作相关的内容;故选D52.C 考查介词 此处的意思是:没有导游或提前预定;故选C
53.B 考查动词 本句的意思是:只要有信心,我总能应付过去;故选B
54.A 考查名词 根据"But each time you try something,you learn,and as the learning(56)up,the world opens to you."表达了一种观点,即:但是,每一次你都要努力去做,努力学,当积累起来一定的知识时,世界将向你打开,可推测出这里指的应是:我的观点是那些新的,…的知识几乎都被冠以可怕的定义;故选A
55.C 考查形容词 结合上一题可知,此处描述的应是:一些新的,不相同的知识;故选C
56.C 考查固定短语 此处指的是:知识是堆积起来的,pile up意为:堆积,积聚;故选C
57.D 考查固定短语 flow up意为:向上流动;这里指的是:在莱茵河上空乘坐热气球飞行;故选D
58.A 考查动词 根据上文可知,此处指的应是:我知道我将继续做这样的事情;故选A
59.B 考查形容词 此处表达了与 braver 相近的意思,指的是作者在上文提到的他将继续做一些像滑雪以及在莱茵河上空乘坐热气球等类似事情的目的,不是为了要比别人显得更勇敢或获得更大的刺激;故选C
60.D 考查名词 承接上一句可知,此处的意思应是:但我会把焦虑看作是挑战的另一个名字,我相信我可以创造奇迹;故选D
