One summer night, on my way home from work I decided to see a movie. I knew the theatre would be air-conditioned and I couldn’t face my 1 apartment. Sitting in the theatre I had to look through the 2between the two tall heads in front of me. I had to keep changing the 3every time she leaned over to talk to him. 4 he leaned over to kiss her. Why do Americans display such 5 in a public place? I thought the movie would be good for my English, but 6 it turned out, it was an Italian movie. 7 about an hour I decided to give up on the movie and 8 on my popcorn. I’ve never understood why they give you so much popcorn! It tasted pretty good, 9. Afetr a while I heard 10 more of the romantic-sounding Italians. I just heard the 11 of the popcorn crunching(咀嚼) between my teeth. My thought started to 12. I remembered when I was in South Korea, I 13 to watch Kojak on TV frequently.
He spoke perfect Korean-I was really amazed. He seemed like a good friend to me, 14I saw him again in NewYork speaking 15English instead of perfect Korean. He didn’t even have a Korean accent and I 16like I had been betrayed(背叛). When our family moved to the United States six years ago, none of us spoke any English. 17we had begun to learn a few words, my mother suggested that we all should speak English at home. Everyone agreed, but our house became very 18 and we all seemed to avoid each other. We sat at the dinner table in silence, preferring that to 19 in a difficult language. Mother tried to say something in English but it 20 out all wrong and we all burst into laughter and decided to forget it! We’ve been speaking Korean at home ever since.

内容概要:文章开始部分记叙了作者看电影时的遭遇,接着谈论了作者对母语的特有情感。
1.夏日的夜晚想到电影院享受空调,说明不愿面对的是居室的“热”。而heated表示“热烈的”或“人为加过热的”,显然不妥。
2.四个词的全义分别为:crack“裂缝,(因破裂而形成的)缝隙”;blank“空白、空地”;break“破裂处”;opening“空隙”。这里指头与头之间的空档(不是细缝),以用opening为宜。
3.angle“角度”,表示头得左右摆动才可看清楚。
4.这对男女的动作是交替进行的。
5.attraction“吸引力”,attention“注意力”,affection“爱意、情感”,motion“动机”,四个词中只有offection与那对年轻人的甜言蜜语和亲昵举动相吻合。
6.as意为“如同”。
7.从时间上来看,后面的两个动作是“之后”发生的。
8.后面popcorn为“爆米花”,用咀嚼(chew)较为合适。由crunch一词也可推知。
9.though放于句末表示“然而”,为副词,与前一句意义上形成转折。
10.由后面的just heard推知,不再听到其它声音了。
11.sound“声响”,voice“声音”,rhythm“节奏”,tone“音调”,此处指嚼爆米花的声音,自然应该用sound。
12.思绪已不在电影上,而是转到了其他方面,故选wander(漫游)。
13.过去经常做某事用used to。happen to do (碰巧做)有悖于frequently,应注意排除。
14.对Kojak 的好感“一直”持续到看到他讲一口流利的英语。
15.由第16空前面那句话可以想象他的英语一定讲得不错。
16.“feel like+从句”用以表示人的心理感受。
17.根据意义和词的用法可排除余者。
18.根据后面一句话,特别是in silence不难选定此空答案。
19.“讲……语言”用speak。
20.come out在此可以理解为“结果是”。
One summer evening I was sitting by the open window, reading a good but rather frightening mystery story. After a time it was too dark for me to read easily, so I put my book down and turned on the light.
I was just about to draw the 36 as well when I heard a loud cry “Help! Help! ” It 37 to come from the trees at the end of the garden. I looked out but it was too 38 to see anything clearly. So I decided to go out and have a look in the garden, just 39 someone was in 40 . I took the torch and picked up a strong walking stick, 41 that this might come to be useful, too. 42 with these, I went out into the garden. 43 I heard the cry. There was no 44 that it came from the trees at the end of the garden.
“Who’s there?” I 45 as I walked, rather 46 , down the path that 47 to the trees. But there was no 48 . With the help of my torch I 49 the whole of that part of the garden and the lower 50 of the trees. There was no sign of anybody or anything. I came to the ___51___ that someone was playing a rather silly joke on me.
___52 feeling rather puzzled, I went back to the house and 53 away the torch and the stick. I had just sat down when I was startled by the cry of “ Help! Help! ”, this time from 54 my shoulder. I dropped my book and climbed up. There, sitting 55 of the mantelpiece ( 壁炉 ), was a parrot!
