题目内容

Signs can sometimes be seen at the entrance of a house, expressing that a tramp(流浪汉) has passed. This special sign-language is frequently   36  by tramps to inform their  37  whether the host of a certain house is friendly or unfriendly, and to  38  them the trouble of making unnecessary calls.

Quite  39  one day, I came across a real tramp. He was such a rare sight these days that I stood some distance away and watched him. He was dressed just as a tramp should be  40 , old worn trousers, and a jacket many sizes too big for him. On his head there was a battered old hat and his boots were so old and worn; they were almost coming into   41 . But the man himself looked cheerful as if he had not been a   42  in the world. He rubbed his nose with his forefinger,  43  a funny turn, laid a small parcel by the front gate, and began   44  a sign made by a former caller. Although the sign was meaningless to me, it must have been   45 , for the tramp’s face lit up with  46 . He entered the front gate confidently and rang the bell. When the door opened, I saw him   47  his hat but couldn’t hear his words. The  48  was very short indeed, for no sooner had he spoken a few words than the door closed fiercely in his face. I felt  49  for him as he walked   50  out of the house, But just as quickly, his face lit up again and he moved quickly towards the gate. There he stopped, looked at the sign, and   51  his head seriously as if he had made a bad mistake.   52 deeply into his pockets, he produced a piece of chalk, rubbed out the  53  sign and made a new one in its place. He stared at it for a moment smiling to himself, then gathered his  54 , pushed back his hat and began walking towards the next house at an unhurried  55 , whistling as he went along.

试题分析:流浪汉们常将他们所使用的特殊符号画在住户的墙上,告知同行这家主人是否友好,可否去拜访.本文讲述一个流浪汉根据符号的指引去一户人家乞讨,结果却吃了闭门羹.后来他发现是符号错了。

1.A employ使用。这种特殊的符号常被流浪汉用来告知同行是否可以进入该户人家乞讨。put up张贴,据下文,符号是画在墙上,故不可选。B、c两项不合文意.

2.C 据上下文是指告知同行。同行不一定都是朋友,故排除D项。

3.B 据上文知,有了这种符号,流浪汉们就可省下做一些不必要的拜访的麻烦,故选B。put,give与文童矛盾;且put搭配不当;spare词义不对。

4.D 短语辨析。A在某种程度上B错误C随便说一下D偶然;从后半句came across得知为巧遇by chance。

6.C come into pieces指流浪汉衣衫槛楼,几乎“成为碎片”。

7.C care此处为名词,意为“忧虑”。流浪汉对自己的窘境似乎并不感到忧虑。failure失败,属于“伤心事”之列。

8.D 动词辨析。A给B得到C设立D进行,做;意为“滑稽地转了一个圈”。

9.D 据上下文知这里是“研究”,“仔细看”那个符号,想弄清它代表的意思。

10.D 指符号有帮助favorable,提供了好消息。

11.B 对从中得到的好消息很满意,估计自己会讨到东西。

12.C raise one’s hat="take" one’s hat off to sb. 脱帽(把帽于举一下)致敬。

14.D 形容词辨析。A开心B害怕C担忧D难受;看到他悲伤地走出来,我为他感到难过。

15.B 副词辨析。A高兴B悲哀C勇敢D急切;吃了闭门羹之后情绪低落,悲伤。

16.C 动词辨析。A挥手B摇摆C摇头D点头;其他选项词义不当。

17.A 动词辨析。A挖B偷C放D看;把手插到口袋里去找东西。

18.D 形容词辨析。A出现的B移动的C闪亮的D存在的;把现存符号擦去,再画一个新符号。

19.A 名词辨析。belongings此处为名词,指流浪汉携带的物品。

20.C pace这里指步伐节奏.流浪汉迈着不紧不慢的步伐,吹着口哨继续往下家去乞讨。

As one approaches some crossroads, one comes to a sign which says that drivers have to stop when they come to the main road ahead. At other crossroads, drivers have to go slow, but they do not actually have to stop (unless, of course, there is something coming along the main road); and at still others, they do not have either to stop or to go slow, because they are themselves on the main road.

Mr. Williams, who was always a very careful driver, was driving home from work one evening when he came to a crossroads. It had a “Slow” sign, so he slowed down when he came to the main road, looked both ways to see that nothing was coming, and then drove across without stopping completely.

At once he heard a police whistle, so he pulled in to the side of the road and stopped. A policeman walked over to him with a notebook and pencil in his hand and said, “You didn’t stop at the crossing.” “But the sign there doesn’t say “Stop”,” answered Mr. Williams. “It just says “Slow”, and I did go slow.” The policeman looked around him, and a look of surprise came over his face. Then he put his notebook and pencil away, scratched his head and said, “Well, I’ll be blowed. I am in the wrong street!”

Which of the following statements is correct? ?

A. Stop signs can be found at every crossroads.

B. At crossroads with a “Slow” sign, drivers never have to stop.

C. At crossroads with a “Slow” sign, drivers have to stop and then go slow.

D. At some crossroads, drivers needn’t stop or go slow.

What do you think the policeman would do in the end?

A. Fine Mr. Williams.                    B. Take him to the police station.

C. Apologize to Mr. Williams.           D. Give Mr. Williams his notebook and pencil.

Which might be the best title for this passage?

A. Signs at the crossroads                 B. A careful driver

C. A policeman and a driver               D. Policeman in the wrong street[来源:Z&xx&k.Com

You speak, write a letter, make a telephone. Your words carry a message. People communicate(交际)with words. Do you think you can communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears(眼泪)in your eyes tell others that you are sad.
When you put up your hands in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions. You shake(摇)your head, and people know you are saying "No". You nod(点头)and people know you are saying "Yes". Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on the door helps you where to go in or out. Have you ever thought that there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive messages from them all the time? People can communicate in many other ways. An artist can use his drawing to tell beautiful mountains, about the blue sea and many other things. Books are written to tell about all the wonderful things in the world and also about people and their ideas. Books, magazines(杂志), TV, radio and films all help us communicate with others. They can help us to know what is going on in the world and what other people are thinking about.

No one can change the weather. Nobody can control the weather. But if we read correctly the signs around us, we can tell what the more important changes in the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting.

For many centuries and in all countries, people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Rings around the sun are a sign of coming rain. That many people feel their joints(关节) hurt is a sign of wet weather. Some birds fly high if the weather is fine, but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows come in the evening. If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continue. If a fog appears in the morning just above a river, then the day will be warm. If the sunset is mostly red in colour, then the following day will be fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come.

Most of the above sayings have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting.

1.Which is true about weather forecasting?

A.Weather forecasting is a way of telling what the weather will be like.

B.Weather forecasting is a report about the weather.

B.A rainbow appears in the morning.

C.The sunset is mostly red in colour.

D.Fogs appear in the morning just above a river.
