【解析】
试题分析:其实世界就是你的一个倒影:如果你是快乐的,世界就是快乐的;如果你是悲伤的,那么世界就是悲伤的了。
1. A.editor“编辑”; B. artist“艺术家;画家”; C. server“侍者”; D. actress“女演员”,根据下文可知来者要求在墙上作画,所以他是为“艺术家,画家”。且该段中最后一句中“So he …the artist to work on one of the walls.”中的artist是直接的信息提示。故正确答案为B.
2.A. put“放;安置”; B. copy“抄袭;模仿”; C. paint“画画”; D. get“获得;变成”,既然是“画家”,所以他显然是请求国王让他在墙上“作画”。故正确答案为C.
3.A. created“创造”; B. destroyed“毁灭”; C. founded“创办,建立”; D. built“建造”,该句句意:“国王刚好‘建了’一个大厅。”该处使用的是使役动词have的符合结构,故用built表示“建造”的被动完成。
4.A. allowed“允许”; B. realized“意识到;实现”; C. persuaded“说服”; D. decided“决定”,该句句意:“于是国王‘允许’这位画家在其中的一面墙上作画。”,故正确答案为A.
5.A. same“相同的”; B. similar“类似的”; C. opposite“对面的;对立的;”;D. ordinary“平凡的,普通的”,根据50空所在句“ Each line was 50 the same as that on the opposite wall.”(每个线条都和对面墙上的一致。)故该空应选C.该句句意:“同时,又来了一位画家,请求在‘对面的’墙上作画。”
6.D. without.
7.A. put up“支起,竖起;张贴”; B. put back“放回原处”; C. put away“收起来,放好;积蓄,攒钱”; D. put on“穿上”,该句句意:“第二位画家请求在两面墙之间‘支起’一个窗帘”,故正确答案为A.
8.A. even if“即使,虽然”; B. so that“以便,为了”; C. as if“仿佛”; D. in case“以防,万一”, 第二位画家请求在两墙之间支起窗帘“目的”就是为了他们彼此看不到。故选择B. so that来引导目的状语从句。
9.A. common“常见的;共同的”; B. artificial“人工的;矫揉造作的”; C.extra“额外的”; D. regular“定期的,有规律的”,从意义上只有选项D. regular能修饰supply. 该句句意:“第一位画家带来了‘定期’供应的涂料、油画颜料、水等等。”,故正确答案为D.
10.A. mirror“镜子”; B. cloth“布”; C. stick“棍;手杖”; D. curtain“窗帘”,根据下文52空所在句"I just 52 the wall with the cloth,"the man said(另一位画家说他仅仅是用布来擦墙。)可知,该空正确答案为B.
11.A. present“现在的;到场的”; B. free“免费的”; C. ready“准备好的”; D. useful“有用的”,根据该空所在句的副词too“也”可知,该句句意:“我的墙壁(的画)也‘准备好了’。”故正确答案为C.
12.A. see“看;看见”; B. touch“触摸”; C. research“研究”; D. cover“覆盖”,该句句意:“国王去‘看’了第一位画家的墙。”故正确答案为A.
13.number of“许多,大量的”+ 复数可数名词;B. a total of“…的总数”;C.a large amount of“许多,大量的”+ 不可数名词;D.many(该处不为代词)故不能与of连用,该句句意:“国王很高兴,给了第一位画家‘一大笔’钱(不可数名词)”,故正确答案为C.
14.A. Amazing“令人吃惊的”; B. Exciting“令人兴奋的”; C. Famous“著名的”; D. Valuable“有价值的”,因为下句“Each line was 50 the same as that on the opposite wall.”(每个线条都和对面墙上的完全一致。),这显然是“让人吃惊的”。故正确答案为A.
15.A. probably“大概,很可能”; B. exactly“确切地,精确地”; C. certainly“确定地;当然”; D. hardly“几乎不”,该句句意:“每个线条都和对面墙上的‘完全’一致。”,故正确答案为B.
16.A. knew“知道,了解”; B. warned“警告”; C. noticed“注意到”; D. wondered“想知道”,该句句意:“国王很‘想知道’第二位画家是如何做到得。”,故正确答案为D.
17.. A. drew“画”; B. faced“面对”; C. displayed“显示”; D. wiped“擦”,该句句意:“我只是用布‘擦’墙而已。”,故正确答案为D.
18.A. briefly“简洁地”; B. naturally“自然而然地”; C. safely“安全地”; D. correctly “正确地”,该处需要一副词来修饰动词said. 根据上句可知,第二位画家只是“简洁地”一语道破。故正确答案为A.
19.A. set up“竖立;建立”; B. added up“合计”; C. showed up“呈现”; D. took up“占据;拿起;开始做…”,根据该处句意:“(将大理石的墙面擦的像一面镜子)第一幅画的倒影就会‘显现’在墙面上。”,故该空正确答案为C.
20.A. story“故事”; B. world“世界”; C. king“国王”; D. painter “画家”,结合本段,其实世界也是你的倒影。如果你悲伤,那么世界也是悲伤的;如果你快乐,那么世界也是快乐的。故正确答案为B.
