一、 记叙文

（2012•安徽卷）

When I settled in Chicago, my new city seemed so big and unfriendly. Then I had a 36 problem and had to go to hospital for a 37 examination.

It seemed a small 38 compared to the one I was about to face, but things started to go 39 right from the beginning. Not having a car or 40 the city, I was depending on a couple of buses to get me from A to B. 41 I’d left myself plenty of time, soon it was 42 I was going to be late, as I had mistakenly boarded a bus that was taking me in the 43 direction.

I 44 the bus and stood on the pavement not knowing what to do, I looked into the eyes of a 45 , who was trying to get past me. 46 , instead of moving on, she stopped to ask if I was 47 . After I explained my 48 to her, she pointed to a bus stop across the street, where a bus would take me back into the city to my 49 . Sitting there waiting, I felt 50 that someone had been willing to help. 51 , hearing a horn (喇叭) nearby, I looked up to see a car with my new friend 52 at me to get in. She had returned to offer me a 53 to the hospital. Such unexpected 54 from a passer-by was a lovely gift to receive. As I climbed out of the car at the hospital and turned to thank her, she smiled and told me not to lose 55 , for all things are possible.

(2012·湖北卷)

I tend to accept any idea put forward by experts on TV. One day, a sociologist proposed that the 31 society has been consuming modern humans little by little. For fear that I would become a victim of the consumer society, I 32 hurried to a bicycle shop in my neighborhood. 33 the shopkeeper Mr. Johnson was selling me the bicycle, he said,” This is the best thing you 34 have done. Life has become hopelessly 35 . A bicycle is simple, and it brings to you 36 things: fresh air, sunshine and exercise.” I agreed. Happy as a child, I got on the bicycle and headed out onto the streets. After some time, I 37 at the other end of the town. I was 38 that this simple vehicle could let me 39 long distances in a fairly short time. But how 40 did I really go?

Since I hated to be 41 , I went back to Mr. Johnson and asked him to 42 an odometer(里程表)on my bicycle. He agreed, but 43 ,“An odometer without a speedometer(速度计)is like a 44 without a knife.” I admitted he was right and in a few minutes, the two devices(装置)were 45 to the handlebars of my bicycle.” What about a horn?” he then asked. “Look, this horn is no larger than a matchbox and has many 46 .” Attracted by these functions, I bought the horn.

“You can’t leave the back part 47 ,”noted Mr. Johnson. He fixed a metal box with buttons 48 the seat, and said,” Is there anything better than this oven when you feel 49 on your way? I can give you a special discount.” I was not strong enough to 50 the offer.

“I congratulate you once more; this is the best thing you could have done,” said Mr. Johnson in the end.

【文章大意】本文讲述了我接受了社会学家在电视节目中提出的消费观点,担心成为现代消费社会的受害者,便去买了一辆自行车。老板推荐了自行车上的多种装置,甚至烤炉,我无法拒绝,一一购买。最终我还是成了消费性社会的牺牲品。 31. A. adult B. human C. consumer D. bachelor

- 9 -

圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

【解析】选B。oven(烤箱)是炊具,所以当你感到“饿(hungry)”的时候,没有什么比它更好的了。

50. A. consider B. withdraw C. make D. resist

【解析】选D。最后店主说可以打折,“我”没能抵制住这种诱惑,所以买下了他所推荐的所有商品。consider 认为,考虑;withdraw撤回;make制造,使;resist 抵制。 【长难句分析】

For fear that I would become a victim of the consumer society, I immediately hurried to a bicycle shop in my neighborhood.

分析：for fear that 意为“生怕,惟恐”,引导目的状语从句,从句中内容是不希望出现的事情,从句中用虚拟语气。

译文：惟恐自己成为消费性社会的牺牲品,我立刻匆忙地赶到附近的自行车店。

- 14 -

圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

选B。

【长难句分析】Rita made sure there was somebody at home to answer the phone and their home was always open to anyone who couldn’t face another night on the street. 分析：本句的主语是Rita,谓语动词是made sure,从句there was somebody at home to answer the phone and their home was always open to anyone who couldn’t face another night on the street作made sure的宾语;who couldn’t face another night on the street为定语从句,修饰anyone。

译文：丽塔确保家里有人接电话,他们总是向那些不能面对又一次在街道上过夜的人敞开家门。

Of course, Mom 40 everything. She has lived her entire life with gappy teeth, and tried to convince me that there was nothing to 41 . When I refused to listen, she told me I could get the surgery to close the gap if it was that important. “Let’s be 42 , though,” she said. “If everyone got surgeries to become pretty, everyone would be exactly the same.

If people follow rules without taking other matters into consideration, it will be 5 for them to form what is sometimes called a “black and white” view. For example, they may believe that people should always tell the truth, and that lying is 6 acceptable. Such people always stick to their views, even if it means that they may get into 7 .
