參考答案與解析

（一）

1. C。only 意為“僅僅、只有”。句意為：世界上約有五百種語(yǔ)言，但只有記種是重要的。

2. B。important 意為“重要的”，根據(jù)下文提到的像英語(yǔ)被廣泛使用，說(shuō)明了這幾種語(yǔ)言是重要的。故不宜選其他形容詞。

3. B。as a foreign language（外語(yǔ)）與前句中的as their own language相對(duì)應(yīng)。

4. C。are trying to do so = are trying to learn English 意為“在盡力學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)”。

5. D。answer 意為“答案”，指回答前面的答案。句意為：學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)容易還是困難，不同的人有不同的答案。摘自高考英語(yǔ)網(wǎng)

6. C。notice 意為“注意到”，根據(jù)不同的動(dòng)詞意義，只有notice切合句意。指注意到這些廣告。

7. C。這些廣告的目的是為了收錢(qián)，故選money。or your money back意為：否則退錢(qián)。

8. B。help sb do sth 意為“幫助某人做某事”。而make / let sb do

sth意為“使/讓某人做某事”。allow不合該句句型。

9. A。from first day 意為“從第一天起”。

10. D。由于是指學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言，應(yīng)該是先學(xué)習(xí)發(fā)音，故選pronunciation（發(fā)音）。

11. A。happen 意為“發(fā)生”，這里指上面廣告中提到的“快速學(xué)好英語(yǔ)這樣事情是決不會(huì)發(fā)生的”。

12. B。remember 意為“記得”。 摘自高考英語(yǔ)網(wǎng)

13. B。children與后面的a small child相對(duì)應(yīng)，指小孩學(xué)說(shuō)母語(yǔ)好。

14. D。think of 意為“想象、想一想”。

15. B。think 意為“思考”，此句意為：談話用母語(yǔ)，思考用母語(yǔ)。

16. D。practice 意為“練習(xí)”。這里說(shuō)明了孩子學(xué)說(shuō)母語(yǔ)好是因?yàn)檫M(jìn)行上述大量的練習(xí)的結(jié)果。

17. A。句意為：說(shuō)學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)容易就難說(shuō)了。

18. A。demand“需要”，句意為：掌握好英語(yǔ)需要大量練習(xí)。

19. B。take 意為“花費(fèi)（時(shí)間）”。此句意為：而練習(xí)需要付出極大的努力和花費(fèi)大量的時(shí)間。

20. C。這里是說(shuō)：好教師、錄音磁帶、書(shū)和詞典將對(duì)學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)有幫助。但這些都不能代替學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)。

（二）

1. D。take 意為“拿走，帶去”，與句意不符；draw 意為“提取、領(lǐng)取”，可用于在銀行取款。

2. C。a lift 意為“搭便車”，與題意吻合。

3. A。as 意為“當(dāng)…時(shí)”。

4. B。learn 意為“獲悉、認(rèn)識(shí)到”。此句意為：當(dāng)司機(jī)和那搭車人談話時(shí)，意識(shí)到此人是從監(jiān)獄逃跑的。

5. D。at the thought of 意為“一想到”。此句意為：一想到錢(qián)司機(jī)就非常害怕。

6. B。a bright idea 意為“一個(gè)巧主意”。

7. A。put on speech 意為“加速”，與后面drove as quickly as possible相一致。

8. C。run after 意為“跟隨、跟蹤”。

9. B。or so 意為“大約、左右”。表示警察大約跟蹤了一英里左右。

10. C。從當(dāng)時(shí)的情景分析可知：警察在詢問(wèn)司機(jī)時(shí)，逃犯為了避免被警察發(fā)現(xiàn)，只能用槍對(duì)準(zhǔn)司機(jī)的背部（back）隱蔽處，不可能對(duì)準(zhǔn)警察看得到的部位。

11. D。警察記錄的是司機(jī)的姓名和住址（address）。

12. B。記錄本應(yīng)放在警察的衣袋里，逃犯才可能偷得到。

13. A。shall用于第二人稱，有命令的語(yǔ)氣。

14. D。dangerous 意為“危險(xiǎn)的”，這里有兩個(gè)意思：一是開(kāi)快車危險(xiǎn)；二是有逃犯在車上開(kāi)車危險(xiǎn)。

15. C。give up 意為“放棄”，顯然司機(jī)只理解了警察的話的第一個(gè)意思，所以他對(duì)他的錢(qián)的安全失望了。

16. D。由下文可知：逃犯要下車（get out）。

17. D。由于上下文可知：逃犯認(rèn)為司機(jī)很友好，沒(méi)有告密，所以十分感謝他（Thank you）。

18. A。司機(jī)沒(méi)有告密，在逃犯看來(lái)司機(jī)是很友好的（kind）。

19. C。既然司機(jī)救了逃犯，逃犯十分感激，所以想做件好事（把警察的記錄本還給司機(jī)）作為回報(bào)（in return）。

20. D。由后面的定語(yǔ)從句可知：交給司機(jī)的東西是警察的記錄本。
