Cloze 2 (2018北京)词数:441The Homeless HeroFor many, finding an unattended wallet filled with ￡400 in cash would be a source(来源) of temp-tation(诱惑). But the 　1     would no doubt be greater if you were living on the streets with little food and money. All of this makes the actions of the homeless Tom Smith 　2     more remarkable.After spotting a 　3     on the front seat inside a parked car with its window down, he stood guard in the rain for about two hours waiting for the 　4     to return.After hours in the cold and wet, he 　5     inside and pulled the wallet out hoping to find some ID so he could contact(联系) the driver, only to 　6     it contained ￡400 in notes, with another ￡50 in spare change beside it.
He then took the wallet to a nearby police station after 　7     a note behind to let the owner know it was safe. When the car'sowner John Anderson and his colleague Carol Lawrence returned to the car—which was itself worth ￡ 35,000—in Glasgow city centre, they were 　8     to find two policemen standing next to it. The policemen told them what Mr. Smith did and that the wallet was 　9    .The pair were later able to thank Mr. Smith for his 　10    .Mr. Anderson said:“I couldn't believe that the guy never took a penny. To think he is sleeping on the streets tonight 　11     he could have stolen the money and paid for a place to stay in.

It was a woman,　4    an old shopping trolley(购物车)which was piled with　5    . It seemed that everything the woman owned was in them. This made Hannah very sad, and even more　6    to do something.

答案    [语篇解读]　本文主要讲述的是大学为了开阔学生的视野,在多个领域为学生提供探索和学习的舞台。作者发现了美式手语这一新颖的交流方式,通过自己学习手语的经历,阐释了高等教育不仅使学生学习和积累知识,而且帮助他们理解人生、扩大自身发展空间。1.A　文章开篇说明高中与大学的不同之处在于大学为学生探索新领域搭建了平台,作者本人也经历了这样的探索过程,使其大学生活丰富多彩。四个选项中,只有searching与上句提到的explore和exploration语义相关。2.B　我发现了某种使我的大学生活经历(experience)变得更美好的东西——美式手语。progress进步,发展;major 主修课程,专业课;opinion意见,见解。3.C　我以前从来没有感觉到有学习(learn)任何一种手语的冲动。不定式短语to learn...作定语修饰名词urge。choose 选择;read 阅读;create创造。4.D　在我所有的人际交往中口头(spoken)语言就已经足够了。与家人、朋友进行日常交流没必要一定使用官方(official)语言、外(foreign)语及肢体(body)语言,故排除A、B、C三项。5.A　根据第二段的内容可知,本题所在的句子表达了作者的与自己的期待不一样的感觉,即
“我也没想到自己会喜欢上美式手语”。love(喜爱)符合这种比较强烈的对比。下文描述的作者对手语的兴趣和投入说明他绝不仅仅是关注(concern)。此外学习手语并不是作者上大学的目标(goal);request(请求)不合逻辑。6.C　上文提到作者上大学后对美式手语产生了兴趣,下文作者介绍自己的兴趣发展经过,所以此处表示“故事(story)是从我上大学的第一周开始的”。故答案为C项。meeting(会议)在下文出现,指手语俱乐部的聚会,有一定的干扰性,但此处不是写聚会是怎样开始的,而是要概述整个学习过程是怎样开始的;trip(旅行)与上下文语境无关;task(任务)不合适,因为学习手语既不是作者给自己制订的任务,也不是大学的任何一门课程要求的,因此排除task。7.B　我观看了美式手语俱乐部成员用手语表演的(performed)一首歌。选项中recorded(录音)、recited(背诵)和discussed(讨论)都不符合涉及聋哑人的语境。8.A　手的动作和无声交流的想法(idea)吸引了我。amount (数量)与句意不符;dream(梦想)一般指想法远大,不能表达即将付诸实践的想法;reason(理由)与上下文无关,也不符合句意。9.D　无声交流的想法吸引了(attracted)我。disturb(困扰)、support(支持)、embarrass(使尴尬)均不符合上下文逻辑。
10.B　我所看到的完全不像任何我在过去(past)体验过的。下文的newness也暗示了答案。11.D　本句承接上文。这种新奇使我想(wanting)更多地了解它。leave sb. doing使某人做。show(展示)、act(行动)、say(说)均不符合逻辑,故全被排除。12.B　在那之后,我觉得有必要进一步探索(explore),于是决定参加美式手语俱乐部的一次集会。13.C　那一天我仅仅学会了怎样用手势表达(sign)字母。print印刷,出版,发行;write写,书写;count计算,重要,有价值。以上三个动词均与手语特点不符。14.A　然而我并没有对自己缓慢的(slow)进步感到沮丧,相反,我感到兴奋。steady(稳步的)、normal(正常的)、obvious(明显的)均与句子意思不符。15.C　我确保参加(attend)所有的集会,学习我所能学到的一切。chair主持;sponsor主办;orga-nize组织。以上三个词在下文中没有相关线索,故被排除。16.D　接下来的一个学期,我注册了(registered for)美式手语课程。miss错过;pass经过,走过;give up放弃,抛弃。以上三项与上下文意思不符,故被排除。
17.A　教授耳朵听不见,因此任何口语交谈都是禁止的(prohibited)。welcome欢迎;ignore忽视,不理;repeat重复。以上三个词都不符合逻辑,故被排除。18.C　我很快就意识到无声并没有让人感到不快。与之相反(Instead),如果课堂上允许说话,会导致我们学到较少的东西。从行文逻辑判断此处表示前后叙述的是两种相反的情况,而不是单纯的转折关系,故排除D项。lastly(最后,最终地)和thus(因此)不符合逻辑,故也被排除。19.B　相反,如果有任何交谈,那就会导致(caused)我们学到较少的东西。cause sb. to do sth.导致某人做某事。require需要,要求,命令;allow允许;expect期盼,期望。以上三个词与语境不符,故被排除。20.D　现在,我很感激这种无声以及它所开启的新的(new)交流方式。对作者来说,手语并不是简单的(easy)交流方式,也不能认为它是时髦的(popular)交流方式,文中以及常识都没有说手语是快捷的(quick)交流方式。

长难句　Instead,if there had been any talking, it would have caused us to learn less.相反,如果有任何交谈,那就会导致我们学到较少的东西。本句使用了虚拟语气,表示对过去的虚拟。条件状语从句使用了there be结构的过去完成时形式there had been;主句使用了“would have done”结构。

答案    [语篇解读]　本文为记叙文。作者记叙了自己教师生涯中一个令他难忘的学生的故事。他回忆了这位特别的学生,从他身上“我们”学到了很多东西。1.B　根据下文可知,The Thinking Laboratory是一个教室的名字,所以每天27名孩子都要进入教室上课。2.A　本句承接上文,说明了教室名称The Thinking Laboratory是孩子们投票的结果。其他三个选项rule(规则)、brand(品牌)和plan(计划)不符合语境。3.D　根据语境可知,教室名The Thinking Laboratory颇具新意,而Room 104这个名字枯燥无味,dull符合语境。4.B　根据上文的elementary school可知,Freddy是一名普通的学生。5.D　前一句作者说He had the rare balance of fun and compassion。本句作者进一步解释这一性格特点,Freddy性格中的一面是遇到有趣的事会最大声地笑。由fun可知laugh与之对应。6.A　本句前半部分说明了Freddy性格中的一面,此处说明他性格中的另一面,即对他人不幸遭遇的同情,以此呼应上一句中的compassion(同情)。作者在第四段提到了Freddy向不幸的人伸出援手的事例。
7.D　作者给孩子们送T恤,并且给他们忠告,应该是在学年即将结束时,故D项正确。8.B　T恤是作为礼物送出的。9.A　由下文可知,“我”向他们强调动词的重要性。由语境可知Friends正确。10.C　此处与前面让步状语从句中的dull相反,故fun正确。句意:我曾建议孩子们,虽然动词可能看上去很枯燥,但是他们一生中所做的大部分有趣的事情都会是动词。11.D　下文提到了Freddy高中毕业后的消息。由此可知“我”遇到了以前的学生,他们提供了老同学的最新消息。下一句具体说明自己得知了Freddy的一些情况。update在此处指“最新的消息”。12.A　根据上文内容可知,Freddy的老同学提供的消息是作者所不了解的Freddy高中毕业后的情况,故graduation正确。retirement(退休)、separation(分离)和resignation(辞职)不符合语境。13.C　回顾前文可知,他上小学时,会因为别人的不幸而最伤心。此句的下文中作者列举了Freddy的两个善举。由此可知此处表示他在毕业之后,和四十年前“我”遇到的那个人一样,仍然是一个关心他人的(caring)人。
14.B　他是个乐于助人的人,在商店上夜班时,他让一个无处栖身的流浪汉在自己的卡车里睡觉。故sleep正确。15.C　此处是作者用来证明Freddy乐于帮助他人的又一个例子:借钱给朋友买房子。因此lent(借出)与句意相符。16.D　由前文可知作者是一位教育工作者,且本段第三句提及I stopped teaching,下一段段首又提到I told the story to the class。据此可以判断conducting符合语境。17.C　上文说作者正在授课时突然有人敲门。由此可知excuse“为……辩解”符合语境。18.A　本句讲作者拿到信封后的反应:暂停授课并　　    信封。下一句具体说明了信封内的物品,因此opened(打开)符合句意及上下文。19.C　本题所在句交代信封内的物品:一件“动词”T恤衫和一张来自Freddy母亲的　　    。由后面的直接引语可知,这是Freddy母亲写的便条(note)。20.B　在让步状语从句中,作者使用了动词take的被动语态,表达了“Freddy离开了我们”的意思。主句部分表达“我们从Freddy身上学到了很多”之意。故选B。

答案    [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。一位加拿大男士在与女友分手后,免费给与前女友同名的女士提供他们之前预订的一张环球旅行的机票,此事引起了许多网友的关注。1.C　由下文You must be named Elizabeth Gallagher and have a Canadian　2    .可知,对于这张机票,有一些限制,故选C项。2.B　此处与下文第10空前后的内容照应,由第10空后的passports可知选B。3.D　根据上文的his then girlfriend判断,现在Jordan Axani已经与他的女友分手,故选D。4.A　由后文可知该票有严格的不可转让政策,无法转让给他人,而他前女友已经不可能用这张票了,这样就会白白浪费掉这张票。所以四个选项中只有go to waste(白白浪费)符合句意。其他选项come to mind(突然想起)、go on sale(开始出售)、come into effect(生效)都与语境不符。5.A　这张票不可转让,policy政策,制度,符合题意。其他几个选项order(订单)、payment(支付)、schedule(日程安排)都不符合上下文意思。6.B　根据第二段第一句中的booked可知booking(订购)符合句意。apply(应用)、check(查
验)、bargain(讨价还价)都不符合句意。7.A　从上下文可知,正因为订票的时候没有要求提供护照的具体信息,所以才有了一个“空子”可钻,即只要乘机人的姓名和国籍符合订票时的信息即可。这里的意思是任何一个与其前女友Elizabeth Gallagher同名同姓的加拿大人都能够使用这张票,四个选项中,只有use(使用)最符合句意。8.C　从上下文可知,Axani希望这张票能够不被浪费,让得到这张票的幸运儿从免费环球旅行中体验快乐。四个选项中,只有experience(体验)符合句意,sacrifice(牺牲)、express(表达)、provide(提供)都不符合语境。9.C　Axani希望这张票不被浪费,所以在社交网站上发布提议,征寻符合条件的人。四个选项中,只有offer符合句意。10.B　从上下文可知,他发帖以后,就收到了数以千计的电子邮件,其中就包含30位跟他前女友同名同姓的人,而且也符合持有加拿大护照的要求。四个选项中,只有right(正确的)符合句意,即持有的护照国籍符合要求,是加拿大护照,而且护照上的名字与Axani的前女友完全一样。其他几个选项中,same(同样的)不对,护照的唯一性决定不可能有完全相同的护照存在;new(新
的)不对,因为这里要求的是护照的国籍和持有者姓名符合条件,单单是新的护照并不符合条件;real(真实的)也不对,单单是真实的护照并不符合条件。11.A　Axani的帖子发出以后,得到了意想不到的热烈回应,他收到数千封电子邮件,其中有30人符合姓名与护照的条件,甚至还有几百位加拿大人表示想把姓名改成他前女友的名字。这里指更有意思的是……。四个选项中,interesting(有趣的)符合句意。annoying令人烦恼的;sat-isfying令人满意的;convincing让人信服的,都不符合语境。12.D　从上下文可知,要得到这张免费机票,前提是姓名必须与Axani前女友一模一样,所以有些人想把名字改成Elizabeth Gallagher。四个选项中,只有changing(更改)符合句意。13.D　Axani的帖子获得了意想不到的热烈回应,几千封邮件涌入。四个选项中,只有control控制,放在空白处符合句意,out of control意思是“失控”。此处指“这简直是失控了”。其他几个选项放入原文都不符合句意;out of touch的意思是“失去联系”,out of question的意思是“毫无疑问”,out of date的意思是“过时”。14.C　Axani收到了来自全球的几千封邮件,网友们纷纷　14    他们的旅行故事。四个选项中,只有sharing(分享)符合上下文意思。admire(羡慕)不对,网友们不会羡慕自己的旅行故事;advertise(登广告)、doubt(怀疑)都不合适。
15.B　从上文可知,Axani要无偿赠送这张环球旅行机票。从下文来看,介词短语in return的意思是“作为回报”,那么整句的意思应该是他表示他并不需要什么回报。四个选项中,只有looking for(寻求)符合句意。16.D　从上文可知,Axani已与女友分手,当初给她买的这张票现在就是D项“多出来的”,故extra(额外的)符合句意。A项single不对,single ticket的意思是“单程票”,但我们从上下文可知,这张票并非是单程票,而是环球旅行票。17.B　从上下文可知,Axani表示,得到这张票的幸运儿有两种选择。第一种是travel with him(与他一起结伴旅行),另外一种选择是自己单独旅行。四个选项中,只有take(拿上)最符合句意。18.C　本句是在讲这张环球旅行票的具体行程,四个选项中,只有trip(旅程)符合上下文和句意。19.A　本句是在讲这张环球旅行机票的具体行程,行程的最后一站是多伦多。before(在……之前)是一个表示时间的介词,后面要么用名词,要么用动名词。四个选项中,只有ending(结束)符合句意。20.D　得到这张票的人,得从完全符合条件的几十个人中选出来,才能免费享受这次环球旅行,能被选上当然是幸运的。故lucky符合句意。

feet would carry me. In my 　11     and hurry I forgot to keep my eye on the rainbow, and when, at last, I　12     and looked for it, it was nowhere in sight! It had quite 　13     away.

18.B　根据后文可知哥哥告诉作者彩虹实际上是什么,故选B项。usually通常;finally最终;en-tirely完全地。19.B　此处表示彩虹不在地面上停留。rest表示停留,故选B项。20.C　本句含义为:当你踏上征程时,你会被彩虹指引,穿过世界上所有黑暗的地方,最终获得内心的珍宝,这份宝藏比金银要好得多。lead表示“指引”,故选C项。

A　后半句讲了a relaxing holiday和a UNICEF fact-finding trip,因此应是在“旅行”时。travel旅行;study学习;lecture开讲座;live生活。3.C　由a relaxing holiday变成a UNICEF fact-finding trip,“不知怎么”就发生了。anyhow=anyway即使这样;somewhat有点;somehow不知怎么地。4.A　由上下文语境可知,此处应该是指“提高人们对问题的认识”。raise awareness提高认识;raise money筹钱;raise一般不与importance和seriousness搭配。5.A　空格前讲了“采购缝纫机并将其送到肯尼亚的社区”,that引导定语从句,并且从句中是过去完成时,因此应该是“要求”。request要求;order命令;receive收到;hope希望。另外,从搭配的角度看,hope后面不能直接跟名词。
6.C　空格后讲了“当他们前往不同的大洲时……”,因此他们应该是“热衷”旅游的。slow慢的;rich富有的;keen热衷的;influential有影响力的。7.B　考查上下文语境和代词的用法。由下文语境可知,他们想“亲自”弄清楚……。for oneself亲自。8.D　由语境可知,此处表示“他们受到鼓舞,想亲自查明儿童基金会如何使其以儿童为中心的计划产生深远的影响”。effort努力;goal目标;difference差异;effect影响。9.B　下文讲“孩子们想去上学的时候就可以去”,因此此处是“建”学校。take up占据;set up建立;break up破碎;tear up撕碎。10.D　UNICEF做的是慈善事业,因此在建学校后,可以使贫困的孩子“能”去上学。need需要;should应该;must必须;could可以。11.A　UNICEF建立学校,这确实让每个人都更容易接受教育。accessible易得到的;responsible负责任的;meaningful有意义的;interesting有趣的。12.C　从下文的doing good work all the time可知,UNICEF的网络一直“在适当的位置”。in place在适当的位置。
13.A　UNICEF不只是当有紧急情况的时候在工作……。故用when引导时间状语从句。when当……的时候;before在……之前;since自从……以来;after在……之后。14.B　UNICEF做的是慈善事业,因此它的项目是“救命的”。time-consuming耗时的;life-saving救命的;ever-changing一直在变的;fast-developing快速发展的。15.C　UNICEF的资金是由捐赠得来的,“没有”用到联合国的预算资金。besides除……之外(还);except除……之外;without没有;beyond超出……之外。16.D　根据文章最后一句可知,捐赠行为是夫妻俩“共同的”决定。single单个的;flexible灵活的;rare罕见的;joint联合的。17.B　根据最后一段的内容可知,夫妻俩在遗嘱中“认可”了这个慈善机构。determine决定;recognize认可;lead领导,带领;promise承诺。18.A　根据上一段的内容可知,在遗嘱中认可UNICEF是夫妻俩的“决定”。decision决定;re-quest要求;work工作;promotion提升,宣传。19. C　空前的sensible意为“明智的;合乎情理的”,因此本空在意义上应与之呼应,故选C。useful有用的;available可得到的;reliable可靠的;reachable可到达的。20.D　本段及上一段都在说遗嘱,因此是“离开”这个世界。love热爱;enter进入;move使感动;leave离开。
