9. A. on B. back C. forward D. along
答案:B 指导:John Williams生活在类似100年前人们居住的环境中,因此在时间上应是“后退”。forward是“向前”,其他副问也不合题意。
8. A. where B. the place C. why D. how
答案:B 指导:因为后面已有介词in,所以只能用名词短语the place作者是去看John Williams生活的地方。
7. A. in B. within C. for D. off
答案:B 指导:用within fifty miles of his cabin说明他居住的地方相当荒凉。表示“在……范围内”只能用within。in表示“在……(物体)里面”或“在……方面”。
6. A. country B. village C. city D. forest
答案:D 指导:John Williams生活在大山中,因此到森林中去寻找食物,这是最合理的答案。由人物居住的环境可排除“乡村”、“城市”和“村子”。
5. A. raised B. bought C. got D. picked
答案:A 指导:从后面fromafawn可知,鹿是他从小养大。根据人物特定的环境可排除其他动问。
4. A. Now that B. As C. As long as D. Though
答案:D 指导:这儿指JohnWilliams只有一只鹿与他为伴,although引导让步状语从句。now that=since,as longas“只要”,引导条件状语从句。
3. A. by hand B. with hand
C. a hand D. hand in hand
答案:A 指导:大山中没有工具,因此他只能“手工”搭建简陋的房子。by hand=with one's hands.
2. A. whichever B. whenever
C. wherever D. whatever
答案:D 指导:此处表示他尽其所能。can后省略了do,因此whatever事实上是做do的宾语。whichever也可引导宾语
从句,但强调的是某一范围中具体的一个。
1. A. fun B. food C. meal D. pleasure
答案:B 指导:从后面的内容看,他是首先要解决“食物”的问题。Cmeal强调一日三餐中的一餐,不合逻辑。
20. A. improvement B. protection C. pollution D. destruction
答案: B 指导:Jane Goodall想通过自己的演讲提高人们环境“保护”的意识。由常识可排除improvement“改进”;destruction"破坏”不合题意。

More than 5 years ago, John Williams gave away all of his belongings and went off to the mountains to live the way people lived 100 years ago. For 1 traps wild animals and fishes in the rivers 2 he can. John lives in a cabin he made 3 , out of trees he chopped down with an axe. 4 he has no relatives that he knows of, he does have a deer he 5 from a fawn (幼鹿). The deer lives in the house in winter and goes with John when he goes into the 6 for food. Nobody lives
7 fifty miles of his cabin in the mountains and John has not been out of the mountains during the entire forty years. One day last year I hiked in to see 8 John lives in. It was like going 9 . There were no stories, no post offices, no noise,no pollution, not 10 a road.
11 notable (值得注意的)of all, there were no people and that's the 12 John Williams wants to keep his part of the world. But there seems to be something impossible in his story. He is 13 man. He has books and nobody knows how he 14 them. Mostly he reads about his world, the forest, the animals, the plants, and the 15 . He has seen airplanes flying overhead but does not want to 16 about them. For him, electricity is 17 , not light bulbs, refrigerators, televisions, or washing machines. John is 85 years old and has not had a 18 day in his life. He attributes his long life to the fact that he has nothing to do with people and in or- der that he might 19 many more years of health, happiness and solitude(孤独), I will not tell you 20 his kingdom lies. There is no room there for you or me.
