题目内容
|
解析:
(1) |
produce great changes意为“引起了巨大的变化”。句意为:“汽车、收音机、电影和电视给(人们的)娱乐消遣带来了巨大变化。”下文中作者把100年前人们的娱乐方式与现在作了比较。 |
(2) |
人们在空闲时间娱乐消遣,free time意为“空闲时间”,符合文意。 |
(3) |
上文提到的是“在过去100年期间”的情况,此段中提到的应该是100年之前的情况,故应选hundred。 |
(4) |
gather意为“聚集”,在这里可表示人们聚在一起进行各种活动。 |
(5) |
above all意为“尤其是、最重要的是”。该句提到聊天的意义。 |
(6) |
聊天是一门艺术,只有艺术才能使人感到有趣,使人快乐,故选择art符合文意。 |
(7) |
keep“保持、维持”,是持续性动词,因此可以和for hours连用。make为瞬间动词,不能和for hours连用。 |
(8) |
amuse意为“给……提供娱乐”。全文主要讲消遣娱乐的活动方式,此句讲大多数人虽然球打得不是很好,但他们既娱乐了自己,也给朋友带来了消遣。从语意和搭配上判断只有D项正确。 |
(9) |
hear sb.意为“听见某人的声音”,此处表示听大歌唱家唱歌,选其他动词均与句意不符。 |
(10) |
who引导定语从句修饰players。由于这里提到的运动员(players)不是正规运动员,而是与后面的the best players相对应,因此要用否定式are not来表达这一含义。 |
(11) |
watch sb.doing sth.意为“看某人做某事”。其余选项不符合上下文语境。 |
(12) |
play a match意为“比赛”。从后文“很少有人这样做。你可能只舒舒服服待在家里看比赛……”可推断出真正自己去比赛的人很少,故选D项。 |
(13) |
at home(在家里)与后面的going outside相对应。 |
(14) |
without the trouble of意为“不必花工夫、力气……”,与前面的comfortably(舒服地)相对应。 |
(15) |
custom指整个社会所共有的风俗习惯,被一致承认并长期遵循。practice可以和custom同义,但常含贬义,也可指商业或法律上的常规做法。interest后应接介词in。habit指生活习惯,且与短文第二段第一句中的“…in the habit of…”相呼应,故应选择B项。 |
(16) |
die的进行时表示渐变过程即“逐渐消失”。此句意为:“聊天艺术和进行体育(文娱)比赛、唱歌的习惯正在逐渐消失。”只有C项符合文意。 |
(17) |
fewer意为“更少、较少”。此句意为“人们越来越多地成为看者(lookers)和听者(listeners),而实干者(doers如players,singers等)和谈话者(talkers)越来越少”。 |
(18) |
do sb.harm意为“对某人有害”,do sb.good意为“对某人有好处”。由作者的观点可知:上述变化给人们带来的害处要比好处多,故选more harm than good。 |
(19) |
该句表明了作者的观点,即“(自己)参与做某事要比坐在一旁看别人做某事更好”。 |
(20) |
选always表现出人们总是坐在一旁看别人做某事,能起到加强语气的作用。 |
