Ⅲ.七选五

Education has always been a hot topic.How to educate children can be a sweet but painstaking task for parents,many of whom try to offer their children the best environment.Competition between parents over children’s education may start from the kind of animated (动画)series children watch.　1　 By watching the former,children can learn English at the same time.However,this does not mean those watching foreign shows perform better than those watching Chinese ones.　2　 They can help children learn traditional Chinese culture and history.Take JourneytotheWest for example.　3　 

By watching this show,children can learn more about the history of the Tang Dynasty and the development of Buddhist culture in China.Foreign shows can open a window for children to gain a better understanding of the outside world.So,children ought to be encouraged to watch both as long as the content of the show is beneficial.

This can also be applied to other things beyond animated series.　4　 However,some parents fail to do this.Their incorrect view can more or less leave an influence on their children.Innocent (天真的)children,influenced by their parents,slowly hold the view that watching foreign shows is better than watching Chinese shows.　5　 

A.Chinese shows have their own advantages.

B.Foreign animated series are always the first choice for parents.

C.Children often follow their parents’ advice when choosing animated series.

D.For example,children can be encouraged to read folk tales at home and abroad.

E.Once the view is formed in children’s minds,parents’ education proves a failure.

F.This show is based on one of the four great classical novels of Chinese literature.

G.For some parents,watching foreign animated shows is better than watching Chinese ones.

【语篇解读】本文为记叙文。作者拥有大多数人所说的美好生活,工作稳定,家庭美满,但是她却感觉不满足。因为作者从小是个有恐惧感、害羞且不自信的人。她想改变这一切,于是报名到越南教学,学会了相信自己,那次机会改变了她。

1.A.stable　　　　　　　　B.temporary

C.difficult D.demanding

答案A

解析根据该空前的“Ihadwhatmostpeoplewouldcallagoodlife.”可知,作者拥有人们所说的美好生活,因此应该有一份稳定的(stable)工作。temporary“暂时的”;difficult“困难的”;demanding“要求高的,苛求的”。

2.A.Thus B.Instead

C.Otherwise D.However

答案D

解析根据该空后的“Iwasbored”可知,作者的生活没有什么大问题,可是(However),作者很无聊。前后是转折关系。thus“于是,因此”;instead“代替,反而”;otherwise“否则;要不然”。

3.A.easily B.brightly

C.peacefully D.modestly

答案B

解析根据“live...andloudly”可知,作者想要有希望地(brightly)华丽地生活。所填的词要与loudly(华丽地)并列。easily“容易地”;peacefully“平静地,安宁地”;modestly“谦虚地,审慎地”。

4.A.proud B.innocent

C.outgoing D.afraid

答案D

解析根据该空后的“Ihadneverhadanyconfidenceinmyself”可知,作者小时候是缺乏自信的,所以可能很害怕(afraid)。proud“自豪的”;innocent“无辜的,无罪的”;outgoing“对人友好的,开朗的”。

5.A.added to B.talked about

C.got over D.suffered from

答案C

解析根据该空前的“Ihadneverhadanyconfidenceinmyself”可知,作者缺乏自信所以始终无法克服(gotover)童年的羞怯。addto“增加,增添”;talkabout“谈论,讨论”;sufferfrom“遭受”。

6.A.continued B.survived

C.failed D.helped

答案D

解析根据前面的“AndItriedeverything”以及前文可知,作者缺乏自信所以尝试一切去克服,但它们都没有真正地有帮助(helped)。continue“继续”;survive“幸存”;fail“失败,没做”。

7.A.figured B.promised

C.predicted D.disagreed

答案A

解析根据该空后的“IsignedupforaninternshipofteachingEnglishinVietnam”可知,作者觉得(figured)朝着目标小步走是不够的,所以决定报名参加在越南的实习教英语。promise“承诺”;predict“预测”;disagree“不同意”。

8.A.equally B.impossibly

C.unnecessarily D.occasionally

答案B

解析根据前文中的“Ihadneverhadanyconfidenceinmyselfandneverquite...thatchildhoodshyness.”可知,作者是个非常害羞的人,现在要去越南教英语的确是一个不可思议(impossibly)的巨大的一步。equally“平等地”;unnecessarily“不必要地”;occasionally“偶尔”。

9.A.nice B.colourful

C.strange D.inadequate

答案C

解析根据空前的“Iwasaloneinacountry”,空后的“...andthestreetswereunfamiliar”可知,这里是在讲在异国他乡的不便之处,陌生的环境,“奇怪的(strange)”饮食。nice“好的”;colourful“富有色彩的,鲜艳的”;inadequate“不充分的,不适当的”。

10.A.doubt B.handle

C.quit D.obtain

答案B

解析根据该空后的“everything”可知,作者不知道自己是否能处理(handle)陌生环境中的事情。doubt“怀疑”;quit“停止”;obtain“获得”。

11.A.point　　B.throw C.shout　　D.aim

答案B

解析根据前文中的“wereunfamiliar...everything”可知,该处指作者不知是否能处理好陌生环境抛向自己的事情。point“表明,指向”;shout“呼喊,叫喊”;aim“瞄准,针对”。throwatsb意为“扔向……,抛向……”。

12.A.trust B.enjoy

C.excuse D.forgive

答案A

解析根据前面的“Ihadneverhadanyconfidenceinmyselfandneverquite　　　thatchildhoodshyness.”可知,作者以前对自己不自信,现在通过国外的实习,学会了相信(trust)自己。enjoy“享受”;excuse“原谅,为……申辩,免除”;forgive“原谅,饶恕”。 

13.A.unconcerned B.unsatisfied

C.unchangeable D.unrecognizable

答案D

解析根据该空前的“I’dlearntto　　　allofmyself.”可知,作者出国实习之前不自信,恐惧害羞,而现在自信了,回到家时,变得让人不认识了,变化太大。unconcerned“不感兴趣的,不关心的”;unsatisfied“不满意的”;unchangeable“不可改变的”。 

14.A.fear B.respect

C.courage D.anger

答案A

解析根据该空后的“thathadcontrolledmylifeandtheself-doubt”可知,以前作者一直有恐惧,此处与自我怀疑并列的只有恐惧(fear)。respect“尊敬”;courage“勇气”;anger“生气”。

15.A.picked up B.forgotten about

C.worn away D.put off

答案C

解析根据该空前的“...thathadcontrolledmylifeandtheself-doubt”,可知,影响作者生活恐惧和自我怀疑完全消失(wornaway)了。pickup“拾起,习得”;forgetabout“遗忘”;putoff“推迟”。

答案与解析

【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国的京剧,它结合了音乐、有声表演、哑剧表演、舞蹈、杂技多种表演形式,堪称中华文化的瑰宝。

1.combining　考查非谓语动词。根据谓语动词is可以判断空处的动词用非谓语形式;“京剧”与“结合”是主动关系,故填combining。

2.arose　考查动词时态。根据时间状语判断用一般过去时。故填arose。

3.fully　考查副词。修饰动词应该用副词形式。故填fully。

4.the　考查冠词。朝代是专有名词,前面要用定冠词表示特指。故填the。

5.cultural　考查形容词。修饰名词应该用形容词。故填cultural。

6.preserved　考查非谓语动词。根据后面的主语theartform可知,动词用非谓语形式,前后主语一致,“艺术形式”与“保留”是被动关系,故填preserved。

7.Performers　考查名词。根据句意和谓语动词use可知,主语要用名词复数形式,故填Performers。

8.isevaluated　考查动词时态和语态。京剧表演者的表演技巧是依靠表演动作的优美来评判的,所以用被动语态。故填isevaluated。

9.into　考查介词。bedividedinto意为“被分成”,故填into。

10.whose/where　考查定语从句。先行词是works,关系词在定语从句中作characters的定语,也可以理解为抽象的地点状语。故填whose/where。
