Hannah’s Place is divided into several areas, providing shelter for people when it is so cold that 50 outdoors can mean death.

    【文章大意】文章描述了主人公Gabriel从不喜欢音乐到喜欢的过程。每个人都应该发现自己的兴趣所在,并为其投入时间和精力。
    36.D 【解析】考查动词辨析。根据“with their heavy instrument cases”可知,每天上学的时候,Gabriel总是同情地看着背着沉重的乐器的同学们艰难地穿梭于校园中,struggle努力,艰难地行进,符合语境。
    37. D 【解析】考查动词短语辨析。根据“ __37__at school for practice hours __38__ anyone else”可知,学习音乐的同学需要比不学音乐的早到学校几个小时,为了练习弹奏乐器,turn up原意“调高(音量)”,在此意为“出现”,符合语境。
    38.A 【解析】考查连词。“anyone else”指不学音乐的学生,学习音乐的要比规定的到校时间早到几个小时,before anyone else had to be there比规定的到校时间早几个小时。这也是Gabriel不想学习音乐的原因之一。
    39.C 【解析】考查动词辨析。本题需要结合语境进行选择。根据“as he hated getting to school extra early”可知,Gabriel讨厌过早到校,因此他对自己发誓“不学”音乐,A背叛;B接受;C避免,避开;D欣赏。注意单词在文章中的灵活翻译,只有C项符合语境。
    40.B 【解析】考查副词辨析。本段讲Gabriel在一次音乐课上意外发现自己很喜欢音乐,与上一段是转折关系,故选B。
    41.A 【解析】考查名词辨析。that was __41__of his school’s standard curriculum是定语从句,音乐课是学校的标准课程的一部分,言外之意就是说,每个学生都得上这门音乐课。
    42.D 【解析】考查形容词辨析。根据下句“actually... tried to hide... pleasure”等词或词组可以看出,Gabriel在音乐中找到了乐趣,并试图隐藏这份愉悦,由此可知,第38空的意思是“演奏音乐很容易”。只有D项符合语境。
    43.C 【解析】考查动词辨析。根据actually可知,Gabriel对音乐的看法有了变化,他实际上是喜欢音乐的,A、B、D都是有否定倾向的词,不符合语境。
    44.B 【解析】考查形容词辨析。Gabriel不想让音乐老师看到自己表露出来的很明显的喜悦之情,transparent指(言、借口)易看穿的;obvious明显的,显然的,故选B。
    45.D 【解析】考查动词辨析。A.run 跑,经营;B.jogged慢跑;C.jumped跳;D.wandered漫游,闲逛,徘徊。音乐老师在教室里来回走动,听到Gabriel弹奏钢琴的声音,就走过来聆听。wander符合语境。
    46.A 【解析】考查连词辨析。根据“and suggested that Gabriel go into the music store-room to see if any of the instruments”可知,老师让Gabriel挑选乐器,说明他弹得不够好,钢琴不太适合他,因此可知此处是因果关系。
    47.A 【解析】考查名词辨析。老师认为Gabriel有着很好辨音能力,并建议他去挑一件称心的乐器。ear辨音力,灵敏的听力;taste鉴赏力,欣赏力,指对作品的欣赏能力。由于Gabriel没有经过专业的训练,不能说他有很好的音乐鉴赏能力,taste不符合语境。
    48.C 【解析】考查动词短语辨析。A.occur to sb某人突然想起;B.take to开始喜欢;C.appeal to有吸引力,引起兴趣;D.hold to抓住。老师让Gabriel找一件自己喜欢的乐器。
    49.B 【解析】考查名词辨析。A.change改变,零钱;B.chance机会,可能性;C.mission任务;D.function功能。Gabriel准备试一下大提琴。给大提琴一次机会,即尝试拉一下大提琴,其余不符合语境。
    50.C 【解析】考查副词辨析。根据But可知,前后是转折关系,下句说Gabriel发现自己很喜欢大提琴,说明前一句是说他只是随便拉一下。
    51.A 【解析】考查动词辨析。be committed to sth/ doing sth致力于;be used to doing sth某人习惯于做某事;be limited to被限制在;be admitted to被录取,允许进入某地。根据“so that within a couple of months he was playing reasonably well”可知,花了几个月的时间练习之后,Gabriel的大提琴已经拉得非常好了。
    52.D 【解析】考查动词辨析。本段与第一段呼应。学习音乐意味着早到学校,要把沉重的乐器背来背去,meant在此意为“意味着”,构成句型It/This means that...这就意味着……
    53.B 【解析】考查动词辨析。开始学习音乐之后,Gabriel不得不拖着沉重的乐器早早地到学校练习拉琴。drag指吃力地拖、拉某物,符合语境。
    54.B 【解析】考查形容词辨析。根据“non-musicians”可知,这里指不学音乐的学生的表情,根据第一段可知,不学音乐的学生对学音乐的投去同情的目光,故选pitying。
    55.C 【解析】考查介词辨析。leave aside搁置一边;leave sb/sth behind把……抛在后面,超过;leave out遗漏,不提及。学习音乐就意味着要被其他学生用同情的目光注视,这里指Gabriel走过去之后,身后的学生对他投来同情的目光。同情的目光来自被Gabriel“超过”的学生。

    4.【2016·天津卷】
    The journey my daughter Cathy has had with her swimming is as long as it is beautiful.
    Cathy suffered some terrible 16 in her early childhood. After years of regular treatment, she 17 became healthy.
    Two years ago, while Cathy was watching the Olympics, a dream came into her sweet little head — to be a swimmer. Last summer, she wanted to 18 our local swim team. She practiced hard and finally 19 it. The team practice, 20 , was a rough start. She coughed and choked and could hardly 21 her first few weeks. Hearing her coughing bitterly one night, I decided to 22 her from it all. But Cathy woke me up early next morning, wearing her swimsuit 23 to go! I told her she shouldn’t swim after a whole night’s coughing, but she refused to 24 and insisted she go.
    From that day on, Cathy kept swimming and didn’t 25 a single practice. She had a 26 intention within herself to be the best she could be. My ten-year-old was growing and changing right before my eyes, into this 27 human being with a passion and a mission. There were moments of 28 of course: often she would be the last swimmer in the race. It was difficult for Cathy to accept that she wasn’t a 29 — ever. But that didn’t stop her from trying.
    Then came the final awards ceremony at the end of the year. Cathy didn’t expect any award but was still there to 30 her friends and praise their accomplishments. As the ceremony was nearing the end, I suddenly heard the head coach 31 , "The highest honor goes to Cathy!" Looking around, he continued, "Cathy has inspired us with her 32 and enthusiasm. 33 skills and talents bring great success, the most valuable asset(财富) one can hold is the heart."
    It was the greatest 34 of my daughter’s life. With all she had been 35 in her ten years, this was the hour of true triumph(成功).

    3.(2015年,福建卷)
    One of the easiest things in the world is to become a fault-finder. However, life can be 353 when you are not busy finding fault with it.
    Several years ago I 354 a letter from seventeen-year-old Kerry, who described herself as a world-class fault-finder, almost always 355 by things. People were always doing things that annoyed her, and 356 was ever good enough. She was highly self-critical and also found fault with her friends. She became a really 357 person.
    Unfortunately, it took a horrible accident to change her 358 . Her best friend was seriously hurt in a car crash. What made it almost 359 to deal with was that the day before the 360 , Kerry had visited her friend and had spent the whole time criticizing her 361 of boyfriends, the way she was living, the way she related to her mother, and various other things she felt she needed to 362 . It wasn’t until her friend was badly hurt that Kerry became 363 her habit of finding fault. Very quickly, she learned to appreciate life rather than to 364 everything so harshly(刻薄). She was able to transfer her new wisdom to other parts of her 365 as well.
    Perhaps most of us aren’t as extreme at fault-finding, 366 when we’re honest, we can be sharply 367 of the world. I’m not suggesting you 368 problems, or that you pretend things are 369 than they are, but simply that you learn to allow things to be as they are — 370 most of the time, and especially when it’s not a really big 371 .
    Train yourself to "bite your tongue", and with a little 372 , you’ll get really good at letting things go. And when you do, you’ll get back your enthusiasm and love for life.

But every day, we would sit by the lake, looking at the house and dreaming of 399 it would be like to live there.

    The next day, we got a 404 message that another buyer had offered a much higher price. Even so, we decided to talk with the 405 directly. We made our final offer, which 406 was thousands of dollars less than the other buyer’s bid. We knew it, 407 we had to try.

    3.(2012年,福建卷)
    I often read of incidents of misunderstanding or conflict. I’m left 645 . Why do these people create mistrust and problems, especially with those from other 646 ?
    I was growing up in Kuala Lumpur in the early 1960s, 647 children from different races and religions played and studied 648 in harmony. At that time my family lived a stone’s 649 from Ismail’s. And no one was bothered that Ismail was a Malay Muslim and I was an Indian Hindu—we just 650 our differences. Perhaps, our elders had not filled our heads with unnecessary advice, well 651 or otherwise.
    We were nine when we became friends. During the school holidays, we’d 652 the countryside on our bicycles, hoping to 653 the unexpected. At times Ismail would accompany my family as we made a rare shopping trip to town. We would be glad of his 654 .
    When I was twelve, my family moved to Johor. Ismail’s family later returned to their village, and I 655 touch with him.
    One spring afternoon in 1983, I stopped a taxi in Kuala Lumpur. I 656 my destination. The driver acknowledged my 657 but did not move off. Instead, he looked 658 at me. “Raddar?” he said, using my childhood nickname(绰号). I was astonished at being so 659 addressed(称呼). Unexpectedly! It was Ismail! Even after two 660 we still recognized each other. Grasping his shoulder, I felt a true affection, something 661 to describe.
    If we can allow our children to be 662 without prejudice, they’ll build friendships with people, regardless of race or religion, who will be 663 their side through thick and thin. On such friendships are societies build and 664 we can truly be, as William Shakespeare once wrote, “we happy few, we band of brothers”.

    【解析】本文为记叙文,叙述了在一场雷雨引发房屋火灾之后,Sibson如何自救,以及他的邻居Huggons如何帮他脱离险境的惊心动魄的故事。
    745.此句句意为:在Sibson还不知道发生什么事情的时候,便被一声雷鸣震醒。此处before表示“还来不及…就…”。
    746.“暴风雨直袭他的两层木屋”,暴风雨应该是从房屋上方袭来,故用over。
    747.根据后文“他打开通向地下室的门”可以判断Sibson冲下楼梯的目的是“查看一下”到底发生了什么事情。
    748.他打开地下室的门,火焰从里面喷发出来。此处explode out意为break out(突然爆发)。
    749.根据此句中“因为这个房间有一个通向屋外的独立的楼梯”,因此他当时感觉应该是“安全的”。
    750.当他正想通过那个楼梯出去的时候,却被一堵火墙给阻拦(stop),故用B。
    751.根据前面“three kilometres”及后文“so well hidden by trees”可知他的房子应该是离开主干道有3公里。故用介词off。
    752.由于离开主干道3公里且被树所遮蔽,因此呼救是没有结果的(fruitless),故选C。
    753.突然他听到了像烟雾警报器之类的声音。strike one’s ears“传进某人的耳朵;突然听到”。
    754.根据后文Huggons拨打911可知,他是带上了他的电话。故选D。
    755.Huggons应该是朝着他所听到的声音方向而去。故选A。
    756.警察应该是警告Huggons不要进入Sibson的房子。故选enter。
    757.Huggons说他不能听到Sibson的拼命叫喊。应使用scream。
    758.Huggons进入房子,但由于烟雾很大,他很快不得不跑回来“喘口气”。此处catch one’s breath意为“喘口气”,故答案选A。
    759.在又一次打算进入房子的尝试之后,Huggons最后还是放弃了,绕着圈子回来了。此处应使用attempt(尝试)。
    760.由于烟雾很大,Huggons应该是摸索着绕着从房子里面出来的,故选B。
    761.当风将烟雾吹得足够的分散,以致他能够看到Sibson。此处part表示将…分开,因此不能用open,因此答案选C。
    762.他用电筒往丛林中照。此处shine the flashlight为固定说法,意为“用电筒照”。故选D。
    763.Huggons将梯子搭在房子上,将Sibson从二楼拽下来。此时二楼房子就要倒了,为了形容动作之快,故用pull。
    764.根据后文Sibson自己所说的话“我当天晚上是一个人。然后我听到了我生命中最美丽的声音,是Huggons。”可知,他对Huggons心存感激。故选D。
