解析:
1. C 语境提示。根据此空后的the problems可知此处应选aware of(意识到)。 2. C 原词复现。根据第二段最后一句中的adopting a wheelchair可知答案。 3. D 语境提示。根据下文中的sitting in the wheelchair可知作者选择了坐在轮椅上,故此处选like me(就像我一样)。
4. A 语境提示。根据上下文可知,作者是正常人,从未坐过轮椅,因此,坐轮椅对作者而言也是需要学习的。
5. B 语境提示。根据下文描述的作者坐轮椅的过程可知作者发现坐轮椅是很困难的,故选awkward(行动不便的,笨拙的)。
6. D 生活常识。根据常识可知此处是指作者一坐上轮椅,轮椅就在作者身体重量的作用下向前滚动。
7. A 语境提示。根据上文可知轮椅自动向前滚动,说明轮椅的轮子没有锁上。 8. B 语境提示。根据下文中的It took me quite a while to get the metal footrest…可知此处是指作者不知道该将脚放在什么位置。
9. A 固定搭配。短语get sth. into place意为“使??就位;使准备就绪”。 10.C 生活常识。此处是指作者在接下来的几个小时里要完全靠轮椅出行,因此说轮椅是惟一的交通工具。
11.C 语境提示。结合上下文可知,利用轮椅出行对作者而言是数小时的体验,是一种暂时的体验,但对于残疾人而言并非只是一种暂时的体验。
12.D 语境提示。根据下文的restful和nice可以看出作者此时是想找到一种比较舒适的方式,故选comfortable。
13.D 对比关系提示。根据nice一词可知,作者想要的不仅是restful,而希望能更进一步,让自己感觉比较好。故选表递进关系的even。
14.B 语境提示。结合此句和下一句可知,作者此时是想找人来帮忙推轮椅,让自己感觉轻松些,舒适些,故选pushed。
15.A 语境提示。此处指作者环顾四周后,发现找不到人帮忙,因此“意识”到只能靠自己来推动轮椅了。 16.B 排除法。此处显然不可能是指举起(lifted)、按压(pressed)或是抓住(seized)轮椅,因此只有turned(转动,移动)合适。
17.C 固定搭配。此处只有control the direction(控制方向)符合语境。
18.A 语境提示。根据上下文可知,控制轮椅的方向对作者而言显然是困难的。 19.D 语境提示。此处显然是指作者坐轮椅的体验活动很快结束了,故选finished。 20.B 语境提示。此处指作者意识到几个小时的坐轮椅活动只是让自己稍稍体验到了残疾人在身心方面需要克服的重重困难,故选challenges(困难)。 难句点拨: 分析:
句子的主干是I realized,Looking around是现在分词短语作伴随状语,I would have to handle the thing myself是宾语从句作realized的宾语。 译文:
环顾四周,我意识到只能靠我自己来对付这轮椅了。

际用时:
Some people will do just about anything to save money. And I am one of them. Take my family’s last vacation. It was my six-year-old son’s winter break from school, and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip. The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day. I had meetings in New York. So I had to get back. But that didn’t mean my husband and my son couldn’t stay. I took my nine-month-old and took off for home.
The next day, my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight. Yes, I encouraged—okay, ordered—them to wait it out at the airport to “earn” more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1,600. Not bad, huh?
①Now some people may think I’m a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a big-time bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar. And these days, a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up.
I’ve made a living looking for the best deals and exposing (揭露) the worst tricks. I have been the consumer reporter of NBC’s Today show for over a decade. I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide. And I really do what I believe in.
②I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money’s worth. I’m also tightfisted when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children, and expensive restaurants. But I wouldn’t hesitate to spend on a good haircut. It keeps its shape longer, and it’s the first thing people notice. And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture. Quality lasts.
1. Why did Delta give the author’s family credits? A. They took a later flight. B. They had early bookings. C. Their flight had been delayed. D. Their flight had been cancelled. 2. What can we learn about the author? A. She rarely misses a good deal. B. She seldom makes a compromise. C. She is very strict with her children. D. She is interested in cheap products. 3. What does the author do? A. She’s a teacher. B. She’s a housewife. C. She’s a media person. D. She’s a businesswoman.
4. What does the author want to tell us? A. How to expose bad tricks. B. How to reserve airline seats. C. How to spend money wisely.
D. How to make a business deal.
提纲挈领:
本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章,主要介绍了作者的省钱之道。作者首先以自己一家人搭乘飞机赚取Delta航班的积分为例,细致地说明了自己的省钱之道,进而以自己的工作经历(担任NBC电视台 Today栏目的顾客记者十余年以及写作《贸易的把戏:顾客生存指南》)和生活原则来说明自己是如何省钱及花钱的。
词汇点拨: 1. save 节省 2. vacation 假日 3. winter break 寒假 4. head 前往
5. overbook 超额预订 6. credit 积分
7. bargain 讨价还价 8. value 价值
9. consumer 消费者 10. quality 质量 解析:
1. A 细节理解题。根据第一段中to give up our seats and leave the next day,说明航班要求作者一家人放弃预定的座位,晚一天离开,然后才会给他们提供积分。 2. A 推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up可知作者不愿错过好的交易。D项为干扰选项,根据最后一段可知,作者并不是对便宜的产品感兴趣,而是认为每一分钱都应该花得有价值。 3. C 细节理解题。根据第五段中I have been the consumer reporter of NBC's Today show for over a decade可知,她做了十多年的顾客记者,故为媒体人。 4. C 主旨大意题。主旨题要找文章的中心词,即文中反复出现的词或概念,本文围绕是如何省钱及花钱展开论述的,而与金钱有关的选项只有C,即如何明智地花钱,这正是作者反复强调的。
难句点拨: ①
分析:句子的主干是some people may think,I’m a bad mother and not such a great wife either为省略了引导词that的宾语从句,作think的宾语。 译文:现在有些人可能觉得我是一个坏母亲,也不是一个好妻子。 ②
分析:句子的主干是I tell you this,其后是because引导的原因状语从句,在该从句中使
用了there be句型。
译文:我告诉你这些是因为没必要因为让自己的钱花得更值而觉得羞愧。
2013课程标准卷(I)B篇 体裁:说明文 词数:279 建议用时:6分钟 实
际用时:
The baby is just one day old and has not yet left hospital. She is quiet but alert (警觉). Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card with two black spots On it. She stares at it carefully. A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, this time with the spots differently spaced. ①As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze(凝视) starts to lose its focus — until a third, with three black spots, is presented. Her gaze returns;she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coming into the world?
Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects (a comb, a key, an orange and so on), changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. ②Could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to three? No again. Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise (同样地) when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.
1. The experiment described in Paragraph 1 is related to the baby’s__. A. sense of hearing B. sense of sight C. sense of touch D. sense of smell
2. Babies are sensitive to the change in______. A. the size of cards
B. the colour of pictures C. the shape of patterns D. the number of objects
3. Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats? A. To reduce the difficulty of the experiment. B. To see how babies recognize sounds. C. To carry their experiment further. D. To keep the babies’ interest.
4. Where does this text probably come from? A. Science fiction.
B. Children’s literature. C. An advertisement. D. A science report.
