答案:1.B;2.D;3.A;4.C;5.B;6.D;7.C;8.A;9.D;10.D;11.C;12.D;13.A;14.B;15.C;16.A;17.B;18.A;19.C;20.B;21.A;22.D;23.B;24.C;25.B;
解析:

(1)

从下文“Here's a fellow who Just   3   into a bank”中“a bank”一词得到启示。

(2)

从下文“killed the night guard and got away with $ 150000”可知道,是“闯入了银行”。

(3)

walk into是“走进了银行”,look into是“向里看”,march into是“行军”,drive into是“开车进入”,根据上下文,持枪闯入了银行,并拿走了钱,然后拦劫了一辆白色的福特车,说明抢银行者没有开车来。

(4)

help oneself to是习惯用法,意思是“随便拿了些……”,其他选项构不成该短语。

(5)

satisfaction指“满意”,difficulty指“困难”,disappoint ment指“失望”,spirit指“精神”.根据上下文语境“托德听到持枪人很容易就闯进银行,拿走了150000美元”和“自己设法到银行贷款开加油站”形成了对比,说明托德借到钱是很不容易的事。

(6)

saved指“积攒下的”,made指“挣钱”,offered指“提供”“主动给”,needed指“需要”。根据上文“托德开加油站需要钱”和下文“so much money to pay back”说明钱是借的,而不是saved,made和offered.

(7)

sign指签字,从银行借钱,要在票据上签字,而不是“write papers”写票据,prove指“证明”,collect指“收集”,根据句意,C是最佳答案。

(8)

从“twenty minutes later”可知这则新闻不是持续报道的,中间有间断,故否定B项,C、D两项和上文不符。

(9)

根据下文抢银行者开着车来加油,得知抢劫者开着车,从“…for a ride”和“…out the driver”得到启示,抢银行者拦劫了一辆车。

(10)

send out“发出、派遣”,find out意思是“查明”,leave out意思是“省去、略去”,push out意思是“推出”。

(11)

flee from“从……逃跑”,head for"前往……、向着……去”,根据下文得知抢劫分子开车向着Southern State Parkway方向开去,A、D答案和题意不符。

(12)

从下文的of the announcer可知,是播音员的声音。

(13)

根据上文,抢劫分子拦劫的中白色的福特车,因此,要留心注意白色的轿车。

(14)

播音员在广播中号召听众不要让陌生人搭车。A、C、D项不符合题意。

(15)

do harm“对……有害”,do favor“帮忙干……”,doservice“对……服务”,do business“做生意”。根据句意“有加油站给汽车加油”,即是“为……服务”,故选C.

(16)

根据下文“it was dark,but…”可知,Todd尽力往外看,但是天黑。

(17)

considered意思是“认为”,knew意思是“知道”,recognized意思是“认出”,learnt意思是“了解”。根据上下文,托德在此处开加油站,肯定知道“the Southern State Park way”在哪里,故选B.

(18)

根据句意和语境“正当Todd往外看的时候,一辆轿车开过来了”。just then意思是“正在那时”,just now指现在与文中时态不符,B、C两项与句意不符。

(19)

根据下文“when the tank was full”得知白色福特车开进来是加油的。

(20)

根据后面LJR 1939得知Todd看到的是车牌号

(21)

从上文“What shall I do?”和下文“while making up his mind for sure”可得知:“托德必须尽快做出决定”。

(22)

根据上文Yes,sir?“先生,什么事?”可知Todd在询问。

(23)

根据下文“when the tank was full”可得知,抢劫分子要他把车加满油。

(24)

句意为“这个人说起话来就像别的司机一样”因为Todd在加油站工作,见得最多的是司机,强盗是不常见到的,故排除B,A和C两项和句意不符。

(25)

and连接了两个动词短语,“举起手来,下车”。A、C、D三项和句意不符。

Entrants(参加者)were to tell an interesting story about their    39   . Winners would receive a phone call from Mrs. Santa Claus(女圣诞老人)! Mrs. Claus would award(奖励) the lucky child free    40    of a local store.

I recently heard a story about a famous scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs. He was being interviewed by a reporter who asked him    36   he thought he was able to be so much more    37   than the average person.

He    38   that it all came from a(n)   39   with his mother that occurred when he was about 2. He had been trying to remove milk from the fridge when he    40   the slippery(光滑的) bottle, its contents running all over the kitchen floor.

When his mother came in,    41   shouting at him or giving him a lecture, she said, "Robert, what a great and wonderful    42   you have made! I have    43   seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been    44  . Would you like to get down and    45   in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?"

Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, "Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to    46   everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge(海绵), a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?" He chose the sponge.

His mother then said, "You know, what we have here is a    47   experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two    48   hands. Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can make it." The little boy learned that if he    49   the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful    50  !

This scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be    51  to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just    52   for learning something new, which is,    53  , what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment "doesn't   54  ," we usually learn something    55   from it.

    阅读下面短文,从短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

When I began my high school years, I was quite interested in biology. I read lots of books of my father’s about animals, and I was   36   much educated about such matters as a 16-year-old could be.

    One Sunday afternoon, I was   37  with friends about animals. I said the whale(鲸鱼)was   __38  a mammal animal. They disagreed. Finally, I called a   39   over to help settle the matter. I knew I was  40  , so I was looking forward to the teacher  41   I was right. My friends were eager for an opposite answer. We asked her   42  the whale was a mammal. “No, the whale is a fish,” she said without a moment’s   43  .

You could have knocked me over with a feather. My   44   was hurt because I lost the argument, but that wasn’t the main reason I was too  45  to speak. I still knew I was right, which   __46  the teacher was wrong. Not only was she wrong,   47   she was completely ignorant(无知的) about something I thought was   48   knowledge. But she was a teacher who had taught a long time. Everyone   49   her and no one else thought she could be wrong.

__50  that, I hadn’t known grown-ups could be wrong. This   51  shaped the way I viewed people as I grew up.   52   I found anyone treated another person with too much respect and admiration, I thought——and still think——“   53   silly.” From that point on, I had no  54__ for authority(权威). To earn my respect, you have to be smart or  55   . I’ll never respect you just because you happen to be in charge or have a degree.
