期中測試B卷答案

I.語法填空

【答案解析】

1.possibly

考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換，空處修飾句子的謂語動詞could(dosth.),因此用副詞形式。

2.animals

考查名詞，根據(jù)前面的修飾詞theother和后面的were可知，此處要用復(fù)數(shù)形式。

3.lightest

考查形容詞最高級。這頭驢很懶，再根據(jù)空前的the可知，應(yīng)用最高級lightest修飾load。

4.sniffing

考查非謂語動詞，空處是stood的伴隨狀語，he與sniff為邏輯上的主謂關(guān)系，故用其現(xiàn)在

分詞形式。

5.his

考查代詞。空處指的是thelazydonkey's,再根據(jù)前文中…at的newcompanions…可知,本

文采用的是擬人手法，故填his。

6.Though/Although

考查狀語從句的引導(dǎo)詞。itwaslateintheday與themanimmediatelyledthenewdonkeyout

oftheyard為讓步關(guān)系。

7.a

考查不定冠詞。Trail意為“試用”，在此處為可數(shù)名詞，其前應(yīng)用不定冠詞a。

8.bought

考查時(shí)態(tài)。根據(jù)上下文時(shí)態(tài)可知，此處應(yīng)用一般過去時(shí)。

9.what

考查賓語從句的引導(dǎo)詞?？仗幰龑?dǎo)賓語從句，從句中l(wèi)ike后面缺賓語，因此填what。

10.Take

考查祈使句。由句意可知，本句為祈使句結(jié)構(gòu)；根據(jù)and后面的give也可推知。

II.完形填空

【答案解析】

7.A考查名詞。句意：我成了問題少年，常常在酒吧喝酒以此來忘記無助和恐懼。A.teenager

青少年；B.mother母親;C.adult成人;D.wife妻子。根據(jù)下文中提到的遇到作者的首任丈夫

可知她彼時(shí)還術(shù)結(jié)婚，再根據(jù)上文講童年時(shí)期，此處講少年時(shí)期，符合邏輯。故選A。

8.D考查名詞?句意：我成了問題少年，常常在酒吧喝酒以此來忘記無助和恐懼。根據(jù)上文

A.brought帶來;B.talked談?wù)?C.scared嚇;D.beat打。由本句的"unconsciousness"可知，選項(xiàng)中

改變；C.die死亡;D.fight戰(zhàn)斗。根據(jù)上文提到的作者的丈夫是個(gè)濫用暴力的人可知,，如果

12.B考查動詞。句意：因此，我決定除掉累積的痛苦和殘忍，用快樂和成功來代替他們。

A.associate聯(lián)合；B.replace代替；C.compare比較；D.fill填。根據(jù)下文可知,要用快樂和成功

無用的；C.desperate絕望的；D.horrible令人恐懼的。根據(jù)上文中"Istartedtoreadbooksabout

howtothinkhighlyofyourself."我開始閱讀關(guān)于怎樣能給自己高度評價(jià)的書，可知，她的丈夫

或其他人對她的評價(jià)很低，他們都覺得她是沒用的人。故選B。

15.C考查名詞。句意：我決定把運(yùn)動中的準(zhǔn)則理念運(yùn)用到生活的其他方面。A.skills技巧;B.

tips建議；C.principles準(zhǔn)則，理念,原則；D.methods方法。下文中的"mydeterminationto

keep16"（一定要堅(jiān)持）是作者的原則或是座右銘。故選C。

16.D考查動詞。句意：一定要堅(jiān)持下去的決心。A.cool冷酷的，冷靜的；B.changing改變;C.

fit使適合;D.going走，堅(jiān)持。根據(jù)上下文可知，作者能從一個(gè)別人眼中的失敗者變成成功

的人，最重要的就是她的不懈努力。故選D。

17.C考查動詞。句意：就在那個(gè)時(shí)候，我發(fā)現(xiàn)自己是個(gè)不錯(cuò)的商人。A.imagined想象；

B.forgot忘記;C.discovered發(fā)現(xiàn)；D.suspected懷疑。根據(jù)上下文可知,此處用"發(fā)現(xiàn)"

是按照事情發(fā)展順序，作者先經(jīng)過努力和堅(jiān)持，然后發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的長處，符合邏輯和語境。故

選Co

18.B考查動詞。句意：無論你的過去是什么，都不要因?yàn)楝F(xiàn)在的你而抱怨它。A.aim瞄準(zhǔn)，

打算;B.blame責(zé)備;C.repeat重復(fù);D.make制作。根據(jù)上下文可知，對于過去的痛苦經(jīng)歷

過去。故選Bo

19.A考查形容詞。句意：嘗試并找到它的積極面。A.positive積極的；B.relevant相關(guān)的；C.

necessary必須的；D.unforgettable難忘的。根據(jù)上下文可知，作者之所以能成為現(xiàn)在的自己，

西。故選A。

20.D考查動詞短講。句意：能克服那些事情的唯一可行方法是：勇收讓一切都改變。A.give

up放棄;B.comeacross偶遇;C.letalone放任不管;D.getover克服。根據(jù)上下文可知，該句中
