(三) sometimes it is better not to know the 1 of a country that you are visiting 2 it is to know just a little of it, the 3 is this: the natives of your 4 country will often rush to 5 you if you seem completely lost and helpless. but they will usually miSUNderstand your small 6 to speak their language. they will think that you know 7 more than you do. for example, i once asked three people 8 carefully memorized phrasebook spanish how to get to a bus station in mexico city. 9 each of them poured out a flood of 10 spanish. the result was 11 i didn’t understand a word and 12 around for an hour before i found the station. 13 i had missed the bus. the next time i encountered a(n) 14 like this in another city, i was a lot 15 , so i acted dumbly. trying to look very pitiful, i 16 a stranger and asked simply, “bus station?” he 17 told me how to get there; he showed me to the 18 walking three blocks out of his 19 to help a poor, dumb and helpless 20 .
1. a. conventions b. customs c. people d. language 答案:d 解析:a、b、c三个都是复数,而根据后面这个词的代词为it知:这里需要填单数,那么只有d项可以。另外,根据下文也可以知道这里要填language.
2. a. if b. unless c. than d. when 答案: c 解析:根据前面的信号词better,知这里该填than.
3. a. cause b. reason c. explanation d. account 答案: b 解析:native 当地人; 后面一句是解释的原因,所以这里选reason.
4. a. host b. home c. foreign d. visiting 答案: a 解析:host东道主,东道国;
5. a. help b. show c. tell d. direct 答案: a 解析:显然用help,这句话说:如果你看起来完全迷路了而且很无助,那么你所到国家的当地人会跑来帮助你。
6. a. intentions b. attempts c. gestures d. motions 答案: b 解析:intention 企图,意图; attempt 企图,试图; gesture 姿势,手势; motion 运动,手势,提议; misunderstanding 误解; c、d显然意思不对;关键a、b两项选哪个?后面一定接of ,形式为:intention of doing sth; 而attempt后接不定式,形式为:attempt to do sth,故选用b项正确。90.1h[0B[EgcHf}(本 文来 源于 我 的学 习网外语园地公共英语等级考试 htTP://WWw.GZu521.COm]90.1h[0B[EgcHf}
7. a. a little b. no c. a lot d. many 答案: c 解析:注意横线后面的more than you do.他们会认为你知道得更多一点。横线要填部分在句子中充当程度状语,只能用a lot.另外根据句子及四个选项意思也可以选出c项正确。
8. a. with b. by c. from d. in 答案:d 解析:空前是“例如,我曾问三个人…”,在空后面找其核心词,“仔细背的那种实用书的西班牙语…”及“怎样到墨西哥城的汽车站。”显然答案为:d,in spanish 用西班语。
9. a. in fact b. in turn c. in reply d. in charge 答案: c 解析:…each of them poured out a flood of …spanish,他们中的一个快速说出一堆…西班牙语…。显然,c项意思符合,你问人家路人家要答复你,in reply,答复。
10. a. complicated b. detailed c. speaking d. academic 答案: a 解析: 参考第九题,说一大堆什么样的西班牙语?看选项:complicated 复杂的; detailed 详尽的; speaking 口语的; academic 学术的;再看后面一句大概知道,结果是“我一句也没有听懂…”故这里选用a,说了一大堆复杂的西班牙语。
11. a. then b. what c. so d. that 答案: d 解析:结果是…,显然后面是that引导的表语从句。
12. a. wandered b. waited c. looked d. traveled 答案: a 解析:wander around 到处溜达;前面说我一句也没有听懂,这里接着说,我四处溜达了一个小时才找到那个汽车站。
13. a. before long b. soon after c. by then d. just then 答案: c 解析:空后是过去完时态,故这里应该用by then,意思是“到那一刻”;
14. a. accident b. chance c. opportunity d. situation 答案: d 解析:在另一个城市,我遇到了类似的…,应该填situation,情况,局势;也就是:在另一个城市我遇到了这样的事情。
15. a. smarter b. clever c. intelligent d. knowledgeable 答案: a 解析:几个词都是形容词,smarter 精明的,自做聪明的; clever 聪明(褒义); intelligent 聪明的,智商高的; knowledgeable 博学的; 关键是a、b两项,根据语境我们知,另外又一次遇到这样的事情时,他就学聪明了,故意学得笨一点,好让别人耐心帮他,故a正确。
16. a. met b. stopped c. caught d. grabbed 答案: b 解析:装得看上去很可怜的样子,我让一个陌生人站住(停下来)并且很简单地问他,“汽车站?”b项stopped的意思是“停下,使(某人)停下”。另外:met 碰到; caught为“抓住”; grabbed “紧抓”。
17. a. at once b. at first c. not only d. right away 答案: c 解析:那个人不仅告诉我怎样到哪儿,所以用not only;因为后面一句说了,那个人又为我做了另一件事,那么这句话说是:那个人不仅…而且…。
18. a. route b. road c. street d. place 答案: d 解析:我问的是汽车站,所以选d项最合适。那个人亲自把我带到那个地方(place)。
19. a. place b. house c. direction d. way X -}{!ba{m3d=KZ[此 资 料 转 贴 于 学 习 网 外语园地公共英语等级考试HtTp://WwW.GzU521.CoM]X -}{!ba{m3d=KZ 答案: d 解析:out of one’s way ;固定搭配。
