分析 本文是一篇记叙文.讲述了中欧地区阿尔卑斯山上一个泉水看护者的故事,他的工作看似微不足道,但是却非常重要.镇委会想节约开支故解聘了他,秋天一到,落叶和树枝阻塞河道,污染河水.后来返聘了他,通过他的养护,泉水又恢复生机,也重新吸引了游客.文章揭示了不要小瞧微簿的力量,它也能创造价值.
解答 15.B.考查动词用法及语境理解.根据The spring keeper was--a job many years earlier by a young town leader.可知句意"这个泉水看护者通过一个年轻的镇议员在多年前获得了这份工作."这里offer的意思是提供,The spring keeper 和offer之间是被动关系,所以句子使用了被动语态,故选B.
16.A.考查形容词的用法及语境理解.根据上文His job was to take away the leaves from the pools in the mountain.He worked hard,可知通过养护者辛勤的劳动,让山村变成受游客欢迎和向往的地方.这里attractive有吸引力的,形容词,放在名词place前面修饰它,表示变成受游客欢迎和向往的地方.故选A.
17.B.考查连词的用法及语境理解.根据One evening the town leaders had a meeting,--they reviewed(审核)the money,one man saw how much they paid the spring keeper.可知一天晚上,镇领导开会,他们审核钱的时候,一个人看到了付给这个泉的守护者的费用.这里表示他们审核钱的时候,发现了问题,表示当…的时候,这里用as,引导一个时间状语从句.故选B.
18.C.考查疑问词的用法及语境理解.根据下午No one ever sees him.For all we know,he is doing us no good.可知没有人曾经看见过他,这个工作没有存在的"必要,这里一个与会的人想通过拿掉泉水看护者的薪水来完成节约预算时的一句质问,这里他想知道原因,所以用why来引导.故选C.
19.D.考查形容词的用法及语境理解.根据For all we know,he is doing us no good,He isn't--any longer."可知这个工作没有存在的"必要,所以不需要再存在了,necessary必要的,no tnecessary没必要.故选D.
20.A.考查不定代词的用法及语境理解.根据Then,they fired (解雇) the old man.For several weeks,--changed.可知解雇泉水看护员后,由于时间短,还没有看出来泉周围有什么变化.nothing,什么也没有,没有什么.故选A.
21.B.考查动词的用法及语境理解.根据By early autumn,however,the tree leaves began to fall and fell into the pools,--the rushing flow of water,可知到了秋天,树叶飘落到水里,阻止了雪水的融化流动,这里prevent"阻止",用它的现在分词形式表示一种伴随的状态.故选B.
22.A.考查动词的用法及语境理解.根据One afternoon someone--that the spring water had turned yellow.可知一天下午,有人发现泉水变成微黄色,notice注意,觉察,后面跟that引导的从句,这里叙述的是过去发生的动作,所以句子使用一般过去时.故选A.
23.D.考查名词的用法及语境理解.根据A few days later,swans left,so did the tourists.Diseases reached deep into the village.可知几天后,天鹅离开了,游客们也走了,疾病传到了村子里.从这里可以看出泉水看护者的重要作用,所以这里应该是镇领导认识到他们的错误,他们返聘了那位老泉水看护者.mistake,错误.故选D.
24.C.考查动词的用法及语境理解.根据Then,life--to the village in the mountain,可知通过泉水看护者的劳动,泉水又恢复的生机.return返回,这里应该用一般过去时.故选C.
