4. A. kicking　 B. hitting　　　 C. scoring　　 D. controlling

答案:

3. A. skills　　 B. fame　　　　 C. team　　　 D. appearance

答案: D　 指导：从前面看，有些人喜欢贝克汉姆仅仅是因为他的“外貌”。作者认为有些人仅仅是以貌取人，由此排除他的“球技”、“声誉”和“球队”。

2. A. ask　　　 B. tell　　　　 C. teach　　　 D. doubt

答案: A　 指导：从后面的句式how much看，作者是在“质问”对方对贝克汉姆和足球究竟知道多少。把握作者的反问语气，可排除其他选项。

　Gloze 1

　　 My ears are recently full of joyous remarks from my friends such as,"Oh, Beckham is so handsome, so cool, that I can't help falling in love with him!" Or"what perfect skills he has!". Yeah, I　 　1 　to some degree, though I sometimes do want to 　2　 　them how much they know about Beckham, apart from his 　3　 and how much they know about football apart from 　4 　goals. It seems funny that we are 　5　 for things, with which we are unfamiliar or about which we are 　6　 , but we all, my friends as well as I, consider this one of life's 　7　 We need these pleasures to 　8　 our liveres But that doesn't　 9 　to craziness or nonsense. As an old saying goes: "Don't judge a book by its cover. ' We 　10　 not judge anything from its appearance. We should all know, it is one's good 　11 　and great contribution that makes one a star and unforgettable. There fore we'd better say　 12　 about Beckham's good looks.

　　　 If we close our eyes, falling in deep 　13　 　we can find that the things that move us to be really happy or sad have a 14　 meaning. If we don't go deeper and are just satisfied with　 　15 　things, sooner or later we will find that we have not re ally gained anything because our first　 　16　 　has blinded and misled(误导) US, and we'll remain ignorant (无知的) 　17 　realize that and make some changes.

It is believed that thinking and going deeper than before 　18　 of great progress. If one day we are willing to go deep into everything, no matter how much it 　19 　us, we will finally prove how much we have　 20 　up, how much more sen; sible, mature (成熟的) , and intelligent (智慧的) we have be come.

1. A. like　　　 B. agree　　　　 C. hope　　　 D. think

答案: B　 指导：作者先说在一定程度上“同意”上述人对贝克汉姆相貌和球技的看法，为下一步阐述自己的观点做好铺垫。此处后面的tosomedegree对答案有提示作用，而且议论文讲究逻辑严密，因此作者首先说：在一定程度上同意。其他选项“喜欢”、“希望”和“认为”，都不能表达此处作者此处的用意。

10．D　 解析：当我们对别人直言不讳而冒犯了别人时，我们会感到后悔，有“负疚”感。guilt当“内疚”讲。

9．B　 解析：说明“情况”就是如此：诚实是一种美德。issue"问题”，event"事件”，factor"因素”都不合题意。

8．B　 解析：从后面后果严重程度看，此处指“冒犯”陌生人。

　 insult＝make 5b．angry．

7．D　 解析：letoff为固定短语，当“发泄”讲，相当于giveout／off．后面是比喻的说法，意为：在安全的环境中发脾气。run through"从……中间跑过"；throwaway''扔掉”；8iveup"放弃”。

6．A　 解析：从前后文的对比关系，我们可以推断出此处指的是“陌生人”。前面已经出现了“我们喜欢的人(熟人)”，由此可排除其他选项：“朋友”、“亲戚”和“同事”。

5．A　 解析：从前面的“发脾气”，可推断出此处应用anger，还是表示我们更容易“把怒气、脾气发泄在我们喜欢的人身上”。
