After that, he went on to tutor Alexander the Great, as well as Ptolemy and Cassander. Perhaps the fact that he tutored several kings4(be) the reason why he is still so famous today. However, Alexander the Great began to suspect Aristotle was making threats against his life.5(eventual), after Alexander’s6(die)Aristotle7 (force) to flee and died of natural causes in Euboea.

Aristotle added much to the field of philosophy. He also made8significant contribution to science while he was alive.

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。亚里士多德是世界上最伟大的哲学家、科学家和教育家之一,文章主要介绍了他的生平及其主要贡献。

1

考查非谓语动词。句意:十八岁时,亚里士多德去柏拉图学院学习,在那里待了差不多二十年。此处表示目的,应使用动词不定式,故填to study

2

考查名词复数。year是可数名词,根据空前的“twenty”可知应使用复数形式,故填years

3

考查定语从句。句意:从那里,亚里士多德去了莱斯博斯岛,在岛上研究植物学和动物学。分析句子结构可知,该空是定语从句的关系词,先行词是the island of Lesbos,关系词在定语从句中作地点状语,应用where引导,故填where

4

考查时态和主谓一致。句意:或许他教过几个国王的事实是他如今还如此出名的原因。此处描述一个事实且根据后面is可知,应用一般现在时,主语the fact是单数,故谓语用单数形式is,故填is

5

考查副词。句意:最终,在亚历山大死后,亚里士多德被迫逃走。空处位于句首修饰整个句子,应使用副词形式,故填Eventually

6

考查名词。根据空前的所有格形式Alexander’s可知,空处应填一个名词,故填death

7

考查时态、语态和主谓一致。主语Aristotle和谓语动词force之间是被动关系,事情发生在过去,故用一般过去时的被动语态,主语Aristotle是单数,故填was forced

8

考查冠词。句意:他生前也对科学做出了重要贡献。make a significant contribution to…对……做出重要贡献,故填a

9

考查固定短语。句意:他的作品和思想影响到了乔叟、但丁和托马斯·阿奎那这样的基督教思想家。such…as…像……这样的……,固定短语,故填as。

10

考查非谓语动词。此处是with的复合结构,即with+宾语+宾语补足语,peoplelook之间是主动关系,应用现在分词作宾语补足语,故填looking

【题目】 Jules is now in his sixties, and is one of the many homeless people who live on the streets; he buys a newspaper most days. Today, with his fellow tramps, he reads about yesterday's student demonstrations.

Like many of the tramps who live under the bridges, Jules was not always so poor. A long time ago he was in the Navy, and like many who have been to sea for a long time, he has stayed slim and fit. Despite the strict organization on board ship, he loved his life, and had the opportunity to see many countries. He visited Poland and Russia; in South Africa he realized what he valued in each country was the people he met. He was always astonished and delighted by the ways in which the people he met differed from one country to another. Some day, he hopes, everyone will see the world as he does.

After many happy years in the Navy, he had to retire. The good things in life always come to an end. His mother and father had long since died and he’d lost touch with his other relatives. He became an industrial designer. He was happy, although it wasn’t the same as the sea. He never wanted to get married and have children.

And then there was the period of darkness. He smiles sadly. He shrugs his shoulders and looks at his hands. There are tears in the corners of his eyes. This is something that he cannot bring himself to talk about. 'It all went wrong, ' he whispers.

He was silent for a while, then recovered. He began to talk more loudly. 'Look at me now---it makes me angry. And what about the President? He's been in power for years, and look what he's done for us. Nothing! I am still out on the streets and live the life of a dog.'
