課時(shí)作業(yè)（十五）

I.閱讀理解

【語篇解讀】本文主要向我們介紹了幾個(gè)城市有代表性的交通工具。

1.答案與解析：A主旨大意題。從第一段可以看出不同城市有不同的象征性的交通工

具，有泰國的tuk—tuks；英國的double-decker汽車等。故A項(xiàng)正確。

2.答案與解析：B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段最后倫敦的大多數(shù)市民都投票選舉了答應(yīng)

使用double-decker汽車的競選人，而不給反對這種汽車的競選人投票。由文章最后一句話

也可得出同樣的答案，故選B項(xiàng)。

3.答案與解析：B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第一句話可知在曼谷，市長禁止這種車的

使用，故B項(xiàng)正確。

4.答案與解析：C推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段第一句話的句意“盡管這些標(biāo)志性的交

通工具在人們心中占有一席之地，但是跟不上現(xiàn)代社會(huì)的發(fā)展步伐.”可推知這些舊的交通

方式面臨著生存問題。

【語篇解讀】本文是議論文。英國正在熱議是否應(yīng)該全面禁止在人行道上停車的問題。

5.答案與解析:C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段中JoeIrvin說的“thereis"noexcuse,for

thedisagreementandhascalledontheUKgovernmenttoactthesameway.“可知，

他認(rèn)為沒有借口不同意全面禁止在人行道上停車，因而英國政府應(yīng)該執(zhí)行該禁令。

6.答案與解析:B詞義猜測題。聯(lián)系第四段中的uendedupinhospitalafteraparked

carhadblockedhispath"和該畫線詞前的“acarhadparkeduponthepavement"可

知，此處的it指一輛停在人行道上的小汽車。

7.答案與解析：A推理判斷題。由倒數(shù)第三段中EdmundKing說的“Itisclearly

possibleinsomeareastoparkonthepavementwhilestillallowingroomforpushchairs

orpeopleinwheelchairstopass."可知，他認(rèn)為在人行道上停車的同時(shí)也可以給行人留

出通過的空間，因而推測他并不支持全面禁止在人行道上停車。

8.答案與解析：D細(xì)節(jié)理解題，由最后一段可知，Bladon希望司機(jī)們在人行道上停

車的時(shí)候可以給行人留出一定的空間讓他們通過。

II.完形填空

【語篇解讀】本文是一篇記敘文。文章敘述了作者上中學(xué)時(shí)，因?yàn)樵谡n堂上不會(huì)做題

而被全班取笑。課后老師的一條留言鼓勵(lì)了她，使作者在以后的求學(xué)中更加堅(jiān)強(qiáng)，更有決心

去克服困難，解決所有遇到的問題。

1.答案與解析：B考查動(dòng)詞辨析。結(jié)合文意，老師叫“我”到白板上做(do)一道除法

題。doaproblem為固定搭配，意為“做題；解決問題"。find意為“發(fā)現(xiàn)"，make意為

“制作，使"，examine意為“檢查；調(diào)查”，均不符合文意。故選B項(xiàng)。

2.答案與解析：C考查形容詞辨析。結(jié)合文章第一段最后一句"Whendoingalong

divisionproblem,Ialways…putthenumbersinthewrongplaces,...forgotto

addinthezeros.”可知，當(dāng)做長除法題目的時(shí)候，“我”總是反復(fù)地把數(shù)字放在錯(cuò)誤的地

方，……忘記加零。由此推知，“我”不擅長數(shù)學(xué)，數(shù)學(xué)是“我”成績最差(worst)的學(xué)科。

favorite意為“最喜歡的"，best意為“最好的"，last意為“最后的”，均不符合文意。

故選C項(xiàng)。

3.答案與解析：B考查動(dòng)詞辨析。結(jié)合文章第一段第二句"Shecalledmetothe

whiteboardto...alongdivision(除法)problem.w可知，"我”走近(approach)白板

去寫題目。move意為“移動(dòng)”，use意為“使用"，return意為“返回”，均不符合文意。

故選B項(xiàng)。

4.答案與解析：C考查連詞辨析。結(jié)合下文Impossibletounderstand.可知，

盡管(though)“我”盡了最大的努力，“我”仍然不能明白她所寫的，此處為讓步狀語從句。

if意為“如果"，unless意為“除非"，because意為“因?yàn)椤?，均不符合文意。故選C

項(xiàng)。

5.答案與解析：D考查動(dòng)詞辨析。結(jié)合文章第二段第二句"...Itriedmybest,she

wentfasterthanIcouldunderstand.M可知，為什么"我"竭盡全力(try)解決這些除法

問題卻還是做不出來。tryone'shardest為固定搭配，意為“盡某人最大的努力"。suggest

意為“建議”，ask意為“問；咨詢”，admit意為“承認(rèn)”，均不符合文意。故選D項(xiàng)。

6.答案與解析：C考查動(dòng)詞辨析。結(jié)合文意，“我”抑制住(hold)“我”的眼淚，隨

便在黑板上寫了一些數(shù)字。holdback為固定搭配，意為“抑制；忍住"。giveback意為

“歸還”，goback意為“追溯到"，cutback意為“減少，削減”，均不符合文意。故選

C項(xiàng)。

7.答案與解析：A考查動(dòng)詞辨析。結(jié)合文意，至于Tara,老師轉(zhuǎn)了(roll)一下眼珠

說，“天哪，我……不知道她在寫什么"。close意為“閉上”，focus意為“專注于"，

open意為“打開”，均不符合文意。故選A項(xiàng)。

8.答案與解析：A考查副詞辨析。結(jié)合句中的Gosh可知，老師對于Tara的所作所為

持否定態(tài)度。故老師說“天哪，我甚至(even)不知道她在寫什么"。even表示加強(qiáng)語氣。never

意為“絕不，永不"，hardly意為“幾乎不"，still意為“仍然”，均不符合文意。故選

A項(xiàng)。

9.答案與解析：D考查形容詞辨析。結(jié)合文章第六段“'AsforTara,'theteacher

said,...hereyes,4Gosh,Idon't...knowwhatshedid.'"可知，全班聽到老師

的話哄然大笑……，“我”感到自己的臉因?yàn)閷擂味兗t(red)了。puzzled意為“困惑的”,

annoyed意為"憤怒的"，pale意為"蒼白的"，均不符合文意。故選D項(xiàng)。

10.答案與解析：C考查動(dòng)詞辨析。結(jié)合文章第六段“‘AsforTara,'theteacher

said,...hereyes,'Gosh,Idon't...knowwhatshedid.'"可知,"我"希望能

阻止(prevent)他們看至lj"我",因?yàn)?我”此時(shí)感至U十分羞愧。preventsb.fromdoingsth.

為固定搭配，意為“阻止某人做某事"。protect意為“保護(hù)"，judge意為“判斷”,differ

意為“與……不同”，均不符合文意。故選C項(xiàng)。

11.答案與解析：A考查動(dòng)詞辨析。結(jié)合文意，但是在下課之后，“我”的老師給我

寫了一張紙條，上面寫著(saying)：沒有人會(huì)在意你的感受，除非你……自己成功。say常

用于表示書信或者便條的內(nèi)容，而非常見的“說”的釋義。write意為“寫"，show意為“展

示”，persuade
