參考答案与解析
(一)
“我”曾打电话成瘾。一开始打电话还是正常交往,一天几个电话,可后来情形渐渐变得越来越糟,直至有“瘾”——从早到晚打个不停。打电话影响了“我”的工作,后来在工作中也打电话,当同事劝“我”不要再打电话时“我”会发疯,有一次甚至用电话机打了老板。后来在电话亭打电话因用完了硬币而破坏电话设施被警方抓起来,最后被强制看心理医生。
1. A。文章第 1 句话和最后一句话公开承认 Im an addict 表明“我”已开始正视自己打电话成瘾的问题,动词face符合语境。该题选择D(notice)的同学较多,但它仅仅表明“注意到”,对问题的认识程度与态度不及face深刻,故排除。
2. B。从第 1 句话及全文内容可知“我”打电话成瘾,且下文有 from the moment I woke up to the time I went to sleep,由此可见,此处用 all the time 才合乎成瘾的实际。而 now and then 为“时而”,不算“成瘾”。
3. C。打电话无非分为两种,一是打,二是接听。后面说 I wanted to phone,那么这句话就该是“等着接听别人打来的电话”了,即 I waited to be phoned。
4. C。从 It started socially… 来看,本段讲述的是成瘾的开始。一开始几个电话,只是 just a quick chat,这似乎很好,故用 fine。
5. B。前面说刚开始打电话只是社交上的行为,一天几个电话往往比较快,对人对己没有影响。后面的 Gradually though提示,以后的情形与刚开始时形成对比,渐渐变得糟了,即此处说的是“情形”。从语境来看,这里说的是总的情况,而非指身体等某一部分的具体情况,故排除condition。
6. A。这是说打电话成瘾的一个过渡:a few calls each day—soon it was ___6___ use, until, finally, addiction,那么中间的环节就应该为“经常”打,即 frequent use。该题误选 unusual较多,该词只是说明使用“不正常”,不一定是电话打得多;而 frequent 意为“频繁的,经常的”,更能体现打电话多。
7. D。从下文来看,从早到晚打电话,根本没有时间工作,故说打电话成瘾影响到自己的工作比较合乎情景。至于 friends在下段中才提及,且只是“我”打电话中的一部分人,不合文理。
8. A。在白天“我”会遛出去匆匆打个电话。从后面的 I spent the whole time waiting for the phone to ring 來看,不能是 an expected call。
9. D。前面说遛出去匆匆打电话,若打不了电话就等,然后就是 I would ring someone, then someone else由此判断,此时若没有电话就“焦虑不安”。
10. B。此处说的是在给别人打电话时边打电话边告诉自己再打最后一个电话。tell oneself sth 意为“告诉自己”。
11. A。从后面的 to make sure __12__ calls would see me此处说的是为能让自己有电话接,“我”边打电话边留言给别人。leave a message 意为“留言”。
12. C。从短文内容来看,“我”陶醉在拨打和接听电话中,关心的是天天能有“足够”的电话来找我。此处 see me through the day是解题的关键,是指他人主动打来的电话。
13. D。从后面的引语 Is it OK if I just use the phone 来看,这里说的是径直走向电话时说的话语。
14. B。/15. D。由下文发生的“我”把电话砸向老板来看,“我”当时打电话已成瘾,难以自控,当同事劝“我”不要在工作期间打电话时,“我”became mad。
15. D。从下文“我”打老板来看,在工作期间为不影响工作应禁止打电话,由此可推测此处应是在工作时工友们劝我不要打电话“我”就发疯。
16. A。上文说当时“我”打电话已成瘾,不让打电话就发疯及用电话打老板等来看,“我”打电话已不能自拔。再结合 the police caught me… 不难看出此处是因硬币用完打不通电话而破坏电话设施被逮捕。
17. C。“我”又是打老板,又是破坏电话设施,此时又被警察抓了,故“我”被命令去看心理医生。
18. B。前面说“我”被命令去看心理医生,故推测“我”正在接受治疗,进而推测在接受治疗期间,房间“没有”电话。
19. D。前面说在“我”房间里已有 3 个星期没有电话了,这里说的是“自从上次用过电话至今有好些天没有再打了”。该题可从语法上直接选出since。
20. A。本段讲述的是现在的情况。“我”不看电视,因为电视里总会有人打电话。此处用 always 表示看电视会因里面打电话的人而诱导“瘾”病发作。
(二)
独居在一所豪华的宅子里,但是过得不愉快。儿女看在心里,于是就请了一位有经验的大夫帮助。聪明的大夫提出看看房子,并提议Mrs White把家中养的紫罗兰送给邻居或病人……慢慢地她果然在送花中找到了乐趣,并有了 the violet lady 的美誉。
1. A。从后面的 where her children and grandchildren came to visit her frequently 来看,她是独自一人住。
2. D。前面说她住的房子很宽敞、很舒适,后面说 she was unhappy,因此可知此处用 However 表示转折。
3. B。从语境来看,她丈夫已去世,她现在独居,故她常常考虑年老问题及自己已去世的丈夫。
4. C。从后面的 She knew old people became set in their ways and didnt like to be told what to do 及下文她成功地让 Mrs White 高兴起来等来看,Mrs Green 是个很有经验的大夫。
5. C。前面说 Mrs Green 很有经验,这是有经验的具体体现。她决定在说点什么前先了解一下 Mrs White,以便对症下药。get to know sb 意为“开始认识某人,了解某人”。
6. A。此处谈论的是 Mrs Green 初次见到 Mrs White 的情景,这是她初次拜访 Mrs White。
7. C。Mrs Green 提出看看 Mrs White 的房子,她高兴地答应了,由此可推测 Mrs White 对自己的房子应是很骄傲的。第1段中也交代了她的房子很宽敞舒适。
8. D。从语境看,此处写的是 Mrs Green 在 Mrs White 家里参观的场景,故用 walk 才符合在家里转转看看的实际。
9. D。Mrs Green 提出要在房子里转转看看时,事先并不知道 Mrs White 家养了那么多紫罗兰。当她们转悠时,Mrs Green突然“注意”到了紫罗兰。
10. D。这是 Mrs White 对 Mrs Green 所提出问题的回答,故此处用reply。
11. B。从 I love these flowers and they grow so fast 及下文来看,Mrs White家的紫罗兰“越来越多”。
12. B。从语境可知,这是看完房子后 Mrs Green 给 Mrs White 提出的建议。be over 意为“结束”。
13. C。这里指 Mrs Green 根据 Mrs White 的具体情况提出一条建议。make a suggestion为固定搭配,意为“提建议”。
14 D 从送鲜花来看,四个选项中只有 get married 符合送花的实际。至于 A(ill)因文中已涉及到了,故此处应排除。
15. C。从上文的 I have one suggestion to ___13___ 来看,此处应填advice。在此advice与suggestion 是同义词。
16. A。Mrs Green 曾建议 Mrs Green 把紫罗兰花送给一些朋友。从上下文来看,自从 Mrs Green拜訪她之后,她有几个月的时间都没有赠送任何紫罗兰。give away 意为“捐赠,赠送”。
17. B。从下文她带着缠着丝带的鲜花去参加婚礼及语境来看,此处说的是她被邀请参加邻居女儿的婚礼。
18. C。前面叙述的是 Mrs White首次带着鲜花参加一个邻居女儿的婚礼,这里说的是后来又有一次她带着鲜花去看望因病住院的朋友。later意为“以后,后来”,这是相对上次她参加婚礼而言的。
19. D。前面说有几个月她并没有按大夫说的那样做,之后列举了两次送花的事,由此可推测她接受大夫送鲜花的建议有个过程,是渐渐地进行的,故用gradually(渐渐地)。
20. B。几年来她坚持把鲜花送出,于是就有人称她为 the violet lady,即她以 the violet lady 而出名。Be/become known as… 可看作短语,意为“以……而出名”。
