解析试题分析:这篇短文中,讲述Neilson坐在车里吃午餐,遇到袭击者劫车,报社员工抓劫车者并把疑犯交给警察的故事。
【小题1】考查动词辨析把握动作发生的时间先后顺序进行考虑:Neilson摇下车窗(rolling down the windows)、放进新鲜空气(to let in fresh air)、仰坐在座位上(settled back)、吃午餐(to enjoy her lunch),同时注意短语动词let in,可以从两个单词的意思猜出let in的含义(让……进来)。bring in赚入,引进,send in提交,gather聚集。选C
【小题2】Neilson此时正在吃午餐,只可能是无意中看到(noticed)这个高个秃顶的人跑过来。recognize认出,watch仔细观看,meet碰到。选B。
【小题3】她还没意识到(realize)发生了什么,那个人就在她的车窗外大叫(shouting),叫她滚出来,understand理解,imagine想象,conclude断定;选C,
【小题4】她当然拒绝(refused)。她的反应也可以从下句的描述(pulling, seized, threw)得到印证。escape逃跑,struggle搏斗,obey服从。选A。
【小题5】考查词汇搭配,也可以说是英语中的一种常用表达方式,by与表示“抓、握、擒”的动词搭配,seized her by the neck and hair的意思是“抓住她的脖子和头发”。类似的结构还有:catch her by the neck/shoulder/arm, take me by the hand, take the knife by the handle, grab him by the collar等。选A。
【小题6】她尖叫的同时可能会试图抓住(grabbing)她的钱包和钥匙。后面的信息(serching for the keys)也可印证这一猜测的合理性。bury掩埋,forget忘记,offer提供。选C
【小题7】两位当地报社的记者(Bruce and Jackson),听到尖叫声,他们正在办公大楼外干什么?只可能是上班间隙的休息(on a break),而其它三个选项(on a trip / visit / holiday)选D
【小题8】两记者到达(reached)Neilson的车旁时,袭击者(the attacker),也就是前面提到的秃顶人,已坐在车里找钥匙了。start启动,stop停止,enter进入,选B
【小题9】肯定想要马上找到车钥匙,急于把车开走,当然找没找到钥匙不得而知,故用madly(发疯地)carefully仔细地,disppointedly失望地,patiently耐心地,选D
【小题10】,当记者打开车门把他拖出来的时候,袭击者当然会抵抗(fought back)。turn back往回走,翻起,jump跳,shout呼喊;选A
【小题11】在极度惊慌中他也不是两名身强体壮的记者的敌手(注意常用表达be no match for someone)。target靶子,目标,be the equal of与……相匹敌的,companion同伴。选B
【小题12】报社工人(Miller),听到尖叫(heard),冲回办公室(rushed back),给警察打电话(phone),拿着绳子跑回来(ran back)。此时的报社工人肯定不会提醒(remind)、邀请(invite)或者请求(beg)警察。而且,可以从下文的信息(waited for the police)得到印证。选A
【小题13】原先的秃顶人、袭击者成了被抓住的囚犯,with his arms tied(手臂被绑)与the prisoner之间存在语义复现,选C
【小题14】从他所说的话(“希望你们感觉不错,因为你们抓住了一名头号通缉犯。”)可以推测他现在的情感态度,经过一阵惊慌之后,他说话的神情,冷言冷语(coldly),选D
【小题15】后文的信息(the carjacker and suspected murderer),他们没有理睬罪犯(ignored)的话,只是在等候警察。catch抓住,thank感谢,comfort安慰。选B
【小题16】此处的逻缉关联(因果关系)有助于我们准确理解合理推测。两位记者感到震惊(shocked)是因为他们抓住的罪犯身份最终确定下来,是一名职业劫车者(professional)选D
【小题17】疑犯的照片(picture)正好最近刊登在他们的报纸上。选C
【小题18】连词题。四个选项分别是表并列的and、表转折的but / though、和表时间的when。此处作者强调的是Neilson感到幸运,注意句子中两个动词的时态(considers, suffered)也会给我们一此提示。选A
【小题19】没有那些好心人的帮助,她的经历当然会有一个不同的(different)结果。ridiculous可笑的,荒谬的,similar相似的,strange陌生的,奇怪的。选B
【小题20】通过故事主人公Neilson的话,很多人可能从不(never)会在他人有难的时候伸手相助。另外,可以从同比排除的角度排除其它三个选项sometimes(有时)、often(经常)、forever(永远)。选D
考点:考查故事类短文
点评:完形填空题要求我们站在全局的高度来俯视问题,把握好整个语篇的上下文关系和逻辑联系对于完形填空的解题至关重要。所以,我们首先用一两分钟时间带空浏览短文1至2遍,理解短文大意,获取重要的信息点,

第一节 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
Most American colleges and universities take a spring break. Students might go home to their families -- or spend a week partying on a warm beach with no parents around. That is the popular image, at least.
In the United States, the lawful age to drink alcohol is twenty-one -- one of the highest in the world. Americans debate whether it should be lowered, or whether young drinkers would only drink more. In parts of Europe, the lawful drinking age for beer, and sometimes hard liquor, is sixteen. Yet France may raise the age limit for beer and wine sales to eighteen, the same as for hard liquor there.
Rules on alcohol differ from college to college in the United States. Many schools require all first-year students to take an alcohol prevention and education program, often given online. Some have a “zero tolerance” policy where alcohol is banned from all buildings. Parents are informed of violations and students may be suspended(停学).
At the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, permission is needed to serve alcohol at any event on campus. But alcohol is banned in first-year dorms---where most students are under twenty-one anyway.
Susan Davis, a university lawyer, says campus police and local police report underage drinking violations(违反)to the committee that decides punishments on a case by case basis. For example, the committee might suspend or expel(开除)a student. It might require an alcohol education program. Or it might just give a warning.
Jon Zug is a lawyer in Albemarle County, where the university is located. He says international students would face the same punishment as American citizens for underage drinking in Virginia. That includes a punishment of five hundred dollars or fifty hours of community service. But first law-breakers might be given a chance to complete an alcohol education program instead.
Schools have to report unlawful violations by international students to the Department of Homeland Security. International adviser Richard Tanson at the University of Virginia says even minor violations stay on a student’s permanent immigration record. He says international students should know that this can affect them in the future if they try to re-enter the United States.
1. What does the underlined phrase “by case basis” mean?
A. Depending on the seriousness of the case itself.
B. According to the report of the campus and local police.
C. Depending on the judgment of the committee.
D. According to the former cases in store.
2. To international students, which of the following may be intolerable once they have drinking violations?
A. A punishment of $500 or 50 hours of community service.
B. Being given a warning of being suspended or expelled.
C. Having the violations kept on their permanent immigration record.
D. Receiving an alcohol education program.
3. The passage probably appears in_________.
A. an advertisement                                              B. a local newspaper  
C. a university guide book                                        D. a popular magazine
4. The passage mainly talks about_________.
A. alcohol problems on the U.S. campus

One Sunday a few of us decided to take advantage of the first sunny day we’d have for ages to take a trip down to the coast to visit the penguins again. Last time I went down there was a couple of months ago and it was a dull cold day. Sunday couldn’t have been more different — clear skies and sunshine made it feel like summer, although it was still -25°C.

Six of us drove to the coast. It was the first time we’d been off the base on our own without our field assistant, so it had a slightly different feeling — more like a few friends going to the seaside than an Antarctic field trip! When we reached Windy Creek, we luckily caught sight of quite a few small flying seabirds, which are seldom seen there.

Once on the sea ice we found that some of the more curious penguins had wandered over from the main group to come and check us out. We’d been told that then they were nursing their chicks (刚孵出的幼雏) and they would be more careful and nervous than last time, but that didn’t seem to be the case. We walked across to the main group which were stretched for a couple of miles along the coast. We sat down for some sandwiches and soon found ourselves surrounded by many curious observers. Without any attackers on land, they were very brave and came within a meter of us to pose (摆姿势) for photos.

Before heading back, we spent a few hours on the sea ice watching the penguins and their chicks, which had grown dramatically (明显地) since our last visit. It was such a nice day.

1.

When did the trip most probably happen?

A. On a dull Sunday.             B. On a warm Sunday.

C. On a summer Sunday.         D. On a winter Sunday.

2.

 It can be inferred from the second paragraph that the six people _____.

A. felt a little nervous        

B. felt a little excited

C. were left all by themselves on their Antarctic base

D. got bored with staying with their field assistant

3.

What does the writer mean by saying “but that didn’t seem to be the case”?

A. They were told a lie.

B. A wrong decision was made.

C. The truth was the opposite.

D. They didn’t believe what they were told.

4.

 The six people did the following during the trip EXCEPT _____.

A. feed the penguins

B. take pictures of the penguins

C. enjoy watching flying seabirds

D. watch the young penguins
