【语篇解读】　作者在大学一年级期间因熬夜而在上课前打瞌睡，被年轻的教授用独特的方式惊醒。对方的博学、睿智、幽默和激情深深地感染了作者，也让作者慨叹人生的短暂，不可以在人生中梦游。

16．A.took           B．divided

C．stayed          D．put

解析：下一句提到作者的眼皮越来越沉，由此可知作者在晚上的大部分时间都是在“熬夜”与朋友嬉笑、交谈。stay up表示“熬夜”。

答案：C

17．A.class           B．test

C．task          D．lecture

解析：作者由于昨晚熬夜，在第二天的第一节“课”前就打瞌睡。

答案：A

解析：作者认为在上课前小睡几分钟不会“产生不良影响”。此处hurt意思是“产生不良影响”。

答案：D

20．A.heart          B．mind

C．thought         D．head

解析：作者正在小睡，突然被一种声音惊醒，“心跳”加速，所以环顾四周，想搞清楚是怎么回事儿。

答案：A

21．A.trouble          B．noise

解析：根据本段开头提到的响声可知作者想找到“噪音”的起因。

答案：B

22．A.angrily          B．carelessly

C．intentionally        D．accidentally

解析：上一句中提到这位年轻的教授正用孩子般的微笑看着作者，由此可知他是“有意”把携带的教科书重重地放在讲桌上的。intentionally“故意地”。

答案：C

23．A.smiling          B．talking

C．complaining        D．shouting

解析：他仍然“微笑”着问候学生。此处与上文的“...with a boyish smile...”相呼应。

答案：A

24．A.active          B．curious

C．present          D．awake

解析：上文提到作者在昏睡中被教授故意制造的噪音惊醒，由此可知此处表示教授看到每个人都“清醒”后感到非常高兴，然后开始上课。

答案：D

25．A.sound          B．shock

C．interruption        D．blow

解析：在随后的一小时中，作者不再困倦，但这并不是教授的教科书把作者“惊”醒的。此处shock是名词，表示“震惊”。上文提到的是作者从“噪音”中惊醒，所以A项不恰当。

答案：B

26．A.fascinating         B．convincing

C．puzzling         D．encouraging

答案：C

28．A.strange          B．natural

C．handy          D．alive

解析：他用渊博的知识和幽默让材料“生动”起来，come alive“变得兴味盎然，生动起来”。A项表示“奇怪的”，B项表示“自然的”，C项表示“方便的”，均不符合语境。

答案：D

29．A.taught          B．spread

C．combined         D．started

解析：他用热情和快乐“授课”的方式富有感染力。that he taught with是定语从句，修饰先行词the enthusiasm and joy。

答案：A

30．A.decorated         B．filled

C．left          D．entered

解析：在这一小时中，作者完全沉浸在教授的讲课中，所以“离开”教室时无比清醒。

答案：C

31．A.clearer          B．smarter

C．quieter          D．stronger

解析：受到博学多才的教授的感染，作者离开教室时不但非常清醒，而且“聪明”了一些，并且感觉好多了。A项与本句前半部分中的内容重复，故可排除。

答案：B

32．A.discussing         B．speaking

C．cheating         D．sleeping

解析：上文提到作者在上课前睡着了，后来被教授以独特的方式惊醒，而且深受感染，由此可知作者学到的东西远比在课堂上不要“睡觉”重要得多。

答案：D

33．A.joy           B．speed

C．aim          D．determination

解析：教授用热情和快乐感染了学生，所以作者感悟到的是“快乐地”把想要做的事情做好。下一句中的joyously也是线索提示。

答案：A

34．A.work          B．life

C．journey         D．college

解析：结合本段第二句中的“...going to do something in this life...”以及本段最后一句的开头部分可知作者所要强调的是不要在“人生”中梦游。

答案：B

35．A.hard          B．complex

C．short          D．simple

解析：此处作者感叹人生“短暂”。其余选项在文章中没有信息支持。

Ⅲ.阅读理解

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

A

That summer an army of crickets(蟋蟀) started a war with my father.Dad didn't care for insects much more than Mamma，but he could tolerate a few living in the basement.Mamma was a city girl and she said a cricket was just too noisy.Then to prove her point she wouldn't go to bed.She drank coffee and smoked my father's cigarettes and paced between the sofa and the TV.Next morning she threatened to pack up and leave，so Dad drove to the store and hurried back.He sprayed poison from a jug.When he was finished he told us that was the end of it.

For a couple of weeks we went back to find dead crickets in the laundry.He suggested that we'd all be better off to hide as many as we could from Mamma.I fed a few dozen to the cat who I didn't like because it scratched for no reason.

However，soon live crickets started showing up in the kitchen and bathroom.Mamma was upset because she thought the dead crickets came back，but Dad said these were certainly new ones.He fetched his jug of poison and sprayed all over until the whole house smelled of poison，and then he sprayed the basement again.

A couple of weeks later，when both live and dead crickets kept turning up，Dad emptied the basement of junk.Then he burned a lot of old newspapers and magazines which he said the crickets had turned into nests.

While we ate supper that evening，the wind lifted some flames onto the wood pile.The only gasoline was in the lawn mower's(割草机) fuel tank but that was enough to create an explosion big enough to reach the house.Once the roof caught，there wasn't much anyone could do.

After the fire truck left，Mamma took the others to Aunt Gail's.I helped Dad and Uncle Burt carry things out of the house and pile them by the road.We worked into the night and we didn't talk much，while all around the noise of crickets broke our silence.

【语篇解读】　作者的爸爸因迫于作者的妈妈施加的压力与蟋蟀展开了一场大战，虽然毒死了一些蟋蟀，但是最终损失惨重，笑到最后的仍然是那些鸣叫不已的蟋蟀。

A．She didn't like insects at all.

B．She liked insects more than his father.

C．She cared for insects very much.

D．She could only tolerate a few insects.

解析：推理判断题。第一段中提到作者的爸爸能够容忍在地下室中有几只昆虫，而作者的妈妈在城市中长大，说蟋蟀太吵了，为了证明这一点，她不肯睡觉，喝咖啡，吸烟，甚至威胁要离开，由此可推测她根本不喜欢昆虫。

答案：A

37．The author's father drove to the store to buy ________.

A．cigarettes for himself      B．more coffee for his wife

C．some poison        D．some gasoline

解析：细节理解题。根据第一段倒数第二句中的内容可知，在作者的妈妈的一番折腾后，作者的爸爸开车去商店买回了一些毒药。

答案：C

38．The author fed a few dozen crickets to the cat probably to ________.

A．make his mother happy

B．help his mother clear away the crickets

C．play with the cat

D．harm the cat

解析：推理判断题。第二段最后一句中提到作者不喜欢那只猫，因为它无缘无故地乱抓，所以喂它一些死蟋蟀是想伤害它。

答案：D

39．The author's father burned the old newspapers and magazines because he thought ____.

A．they were no longer useful

B．the crickets were afraid of fire

C．they became the home of crickets

D．the dead crickets came back to life

解析：细节理解题。第四段最后一句提到作者的爸爸焚烧了大量旧报纸和旧杂志，说蟋蟀已经把报纸和杂志变成了窝，由此可知选C。

答案：C

40．We learn from the last paragraph that ________.

A．the author's family lost their battle against the crickets

B．the author's parents learned to put up with insects

C．the author's family didn't suffer much in the fire

D．the author's parents got divorced

解析：推理判断题。作者的爸爸用毒药杀死一些蟋蟀，之后木堆起火，割草机油箱中的汽油发生爆炸并波及房屋，作者的妈妈带着其他人去了Gail婶婶家，作者和爸爸还有Burt叔叔把房屋中的东西搬出后堆放在路边，并一直忙到晚上，此时打破他们之间沉默的还是蟋蟀的叫声，由此可推断在与蟋蟀的战争中，作者一家失败了。

答案：A
