Question

【题目】Deo sat staring straight ahead, so as to think about this. Then they were a bridge so high he felt he were in the airplanes again, and Muhammad said, “Manhattan,” and at a horizon of buildings impossibly tall, giant trees, like a sky of pillared (成柱状的) clouds at sunrise in the mountains. a time Deo began to notice vacant lots, and buildings with wood their windows. When Muhammad turned off a main avenue onto a side street, Deo wanted to ask, urgently, they were stopping here. A few yards away, a man stood urinating (撒尿) the wall of a building. The sidewalk was covered with empty cans and and all sorts of paper trash. Muhammad led the way a brick building with broken windows and letters scribbled(潦草地书写的) here and there on the walls. High up on one wall there were three letters , as if each letter were swollen: P E N. He followed Muhammad , the air reeking of urine and excrement (排泄物), up a staircase with a busted railing (破碎的栏杆), finally into a room with a dirty wooden floor, a room with door and no furniture. At the end of a hallway, there was a toilet, completely stopped up.

Muhammad said he stayed here to money. He didn’t have to pay rent for this room. His whole reason for being in New York was to and save as much as he could. He would be for Senegal in a few weeks. Deo should do as he had—work here for a while and save, then start a new life. But he should do this back in Africa, not in New York. “Because it’s so hard here,” Muhammad said.

【1】D。考查动词的用法。A. delivering 递送；B. travelling 旅行；C. building 建造；D. crossing穿越。这里是说他们正在穿过一座很高的桥，以至于他感到就好象又坐在飞机上一样，故答案选D。

【2】B。考查连词短语的用法。A. only if 只要；B. as if似乎，好象；C. even if即使；D. if only要是……就好了。由于桥很高，所以他觉得好象是又坐在了飞机上一样，故选B。

【3】C。考查动词的用法。A. stared盯着看；B. glared怒视；C. pointed指向；D. shot射击。本空后面跟的是at a horizon of buildings impossibly tall说的是地平线上的不高的建筑物，应该是指向，所以选择C。

【4】A。考查介词的用法。A. like像……；B. in在……里；C. as作为；D. from从……。这里根据下文的提示，应该是“像……”，意思是“像大树”，故选A。

【5】D。考查连词的用法。A. Before在……之前；B. When当……的时候；C. While当……的时候，趁着；D. After在……之后。根据前文中的叙述，应该是在他们走了一段时间之后，故此空选D。

【6】C。考查动词的用法。A. rushing 急速行进；B. passing路过，传递；C. covering覆盖；D. flowing流淌。这里说的是那些建筑物都用木头把窗户盖上了，此处是with的复合结构，表示主动，故选C。

【7】A。考查副词词义辨析。A. finally最后，最终；B. hopefully有希望地；C. thankfully感谢地；D. fortunately幸运地。当Muhammad最后走下主路来到一条小巷的时候，强调最后所到的地方，故选A。

【8】A。考查疑问词词义辨析。A. why为什么；B. what什么；C. how如何；D. where在哪里。此处说Deo在随着Muhammad最后来到小巷的时候问他为什么要停在这里，故选A。

【9】B。考查介词用法。A. through通过；B. against 对着；C. from来自；D. off离开。此句是说：在几码远之外，一个男人站在那里对着一座建筑物的墙撒尿，against这里的意思是“对着”，故选B。

【10】B。考查名词辨析。A. flowers 花；B. bottles瓶子；C. windows窗户；D. tables桌子。“人行道上被空的罐头盒子，瓶子和各种纸垃圾覆盖着”，这里A. flowers 花；C. windows窗户；D. tables桌子都和垃圾没有关系，故选B。

【11】D。考查介词辨析。A. from 来自；B. on在……上；C. in 在……里；D. toward朝，向。Muhammad领着通向砖制的有破损的窗户和墙上是乱写的字母的建筑物走去，这里是说领路朝什么方向走，故选D。

【12】D。考查动词词义辨析。A. heard听到；B. read读到；C. seen看到；D. painted刷油漆。从后面的内容来看，字是肿胀的，所以应该是刷上油漆了，不可能是听到，读到或是看到，故选D。

【15】D。考查不定代词辨析。A. all所有的；B. some一些；C. any任何；D. no没有。这里要表示的是这个房间既没有门也没有家俱，根据后面的and no furniture可知此处应该填no，应该是一个平行结构，故选D。

【16】C。考查形容词辨析。A. sunny阳光明媚的；B. light轻的；C. dark黑暗的；D. bright明亮的。此句是：“在一个黑暗的走廊的尽头，有一个马桶，完全停用了”，说明此地脏乱差的程度。所以此处填dark，故选C。

【17】B。考查动词辨析。A. keep保留，保存；B. save节省，储蓄；C. raise举起，募集；D. lose失去，丢掉。Muhammad说他住在这里是为了省钱，他不必付房租，所以此处应填save，另外下一句中也用save作为提示，故选B。

【18】C。考查动词。A. obtain获得，得到；B. achieve取得，获得；C. earn 挣钱；D. reach到达。Muhammad呆在纽约的全部理由就是尽可能地挣钱和省钱，所以此处和save相呼应，应该是挣钱，故选C。

【19】A。考查动词词义辨析。A. leaving离开；B. arriving到达；C. searching搜寻，寻找；D. staying呆在，停留。本句是“过几周以后他要离开这儿去塞内加尔”，“离开某地去某地”要用leave for，故选A。
