You must be named Elizabeth Gallagher and have a Canadian 42 .‎ Jordan Axani,28,said he and his then girlfriend,Elizabeth Gallagher,booked heavily discounted round-the-world air tickets in May,but their 43 ended and he did not want her ticket to 44 .The ticket had a strict no-transfer(不可转让) 45 ,but since passport information was not required when 46 ,any Canadian Elizabeth Gallagher can 47 it.‎ ‎“I just want to see the ticket go to good use and for someone to 48 a lot of joy,” said Axani. He posted his 49 on a social networking website,and received thousands of e-mails,including thirty from actual Elizabeth Gallaghers with the 50 passports. “More 51 ,there are hundreds of Canadians who are interested in 52 their name to Elizabeth Gallagher,” Axani said. “It was absolutely out of 53 ,thousands of e-mails,people around the world 54 their stories of travel.”‎ Axani wrote in his post that he is not 55 anything in return and that the woman who uses the 56 ticket can choose to either travel with him or 57 the ticket and travel on her own.‎ The 58 is scheduled to start on December 21 in New York City and continue on to Milan,Prague,Paris,Bangkok and New Delhi before 59 in Toronto on January 8.He said the 60 woman will be announced on the website and the trip will be shared online.‎ 语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章围绕人与社会的主题讲述了多伦多28岁的Jordan Axani为给前女友订的环游世界的机票寻找新主人的故事。‎ ‎41. A. benefits B. deposits C. restrictions D. examinations 答案 C 解析 根据语境可知,机票虽然是免费的,但是你必须符合限制条件(restriction),首先名字得是Elizabeth Gallagher。benefit益处;deposit押金;examination考试。‎ ‎42. A. origin B. passport C. accent D. friend 答案 B 解析 由第三段中的“including thirty from actual Elizabeth Gallaghers with the passports”可知此空应选passport(护照)。申请者除了名字是Elizabeth Gallagher外,还要有个加拿大的护照。origin出身;accent口音;friend朋友。‎ ‎43. A. holiday B. marriage C. dream D. relationship 答案 D 解析 由前面的his then girlfriend可知,现在他们的关系(relationship)结束了。因为机票还有效,所以还没有去度假,故排除A项holiday(假期);由前面提到的是girlfriend而不是wife可知,他们没有结婚,故排除B项marriage(婚姻);dream梦想,也不符合此处的语境。‎ ‎44. A. go to waste B. come to mind C. go on sale D. come into effect ‎ 答案 A 解析 由第一段首句中的“is offering a free round-the-world air ticket”(正提供一张环游世界的免费机票)以及第三段首句中的“I just want to see the ticket go to good use”(我只是想看到这张票得到充分利用)可知,他不想让机票浪费掉(go to waste)。come to mind突然想到;go on sale出售;come into effect生效。‎ ‎45. A. policy B. order C. payment D. schedule 答案 A 解析 机票有严格的不能转让的政策(policy),而不是命令(order)、支付(payment)或日程表(schedule)。‎ ‎46. A. applying B. booking C. checking D. bargaining 答案 B 解析 根据but表示的转折含义可知,虽然机票有严格的不能转让的政策,但是预订(book)的时候并不需要提供护照信息。另外,第二段中的“booked heavily discounted round-the-world air tickets”也给出了提示。apply申请;check核查;bargain讨价还价。‎ ‎47. A. use B. borrow C. choose D. buy 答案 A 解析 因为前面提到预订的时候并不需要提供护照信息,所以任何叫Elizabeth Gallagher的加拿大人都可以用(use)这张票。另外,第四段中的“the woman who uses the ticket”也给出了提示。borrow借入;choose选择;buy购买。‎ ‎48. A. sacrifice B. express C. experience D. provide 答案 C 解析 上文提到这张票是Axani免费提供给对方的,他只是希望票能得到充分利用,能让用它的那个人体验(experience)许多快乐。sacrifice牺牲;express表达;provide提供。‎ ‎49. A. answer B. advice C. offer D. comment 答案 C 解析 由第一段首句中的“is offering a free round-the-world air ticket”可知此空应选offer(提供)。answer回复;advice建议;comment评论。‎ ‎50. A. same B. right C. new D. real 答案 B 解析 在这成千上万封电子邮件中,有30封来自真实的叫Elizabeth Gallagher 的人,而且这些人有正确的(right)护照。这些人的护照不可能完全一样,故排除A项same(相同的);new新的,real真实而非虚构的,也不符合此处的语境。‎ ‎51. A. interesting B. annoying C. satisfying D. convincing 答案 A 解析 有这么多同名的人给他写电子邮件是一件有趣的事,更有趣的是(more interesting),还有几百个加拿大人对把她们的名字改为(change) Elizabeth Gallagher感兴趣。annoying令人烦恼的;satisfying令人满意的;convincing令人信服的。‎ ‎52. A. writing B. giving C. lending D. changing 答案 D 解析 见上题解析。write写;give给予;lend借出。‎ ‎53. A. touch B. question C. date D. control 答案 D 解析 Axani只能提供一张免费机票,却收到了成千上万封电子邮件,这说明情况失去了控制(out of control)。out of touch失去联系;out of question毫无疑问;out of date过时。‎ ‎54. A. admiring B. advertising C. sharing D. doubting 答案 C 解析 Axani是在一个社交网站上发布的信息,结果成千上万的人给他发了电子邮件,因此全世界的人可以通过这个网站分享(share)他们的旅游故事。admire赞美;advertise做广告;doubt怀疑。‎ ‎55. A. leaving B. looking for C. losing D. dealing with 答案 B 解析 文章首句已经指出这张票是免费的,因此可以推断出Axani并不寻求(look for)回报。leave留下;lose失去;deal with处理。‎ ‎56. A. single B. strange C. regular D. extra 答案 D 解析 文章第二段已经指出,这张票是为Axani的前女友准备的,现在他们分手了,因此这张票对Axani来说是多余的(extra),而不是唯一的(single)、奇怪的(strange)或定期的(regular)。‎ ‎57. A. return B. take C. reserve D. hide 答案 B 解析 由后面的travel on her own可知,拥有这张票的女士也可以把票拿走(take)独自去旅行。return归还;reserve保留;hide把……藏起来。‎ ‎58. A. interview B. program C. trip D. meeting 答案 C 解析 由本段最后一句中的“the trip will be shared online”可知,此空应选trip,这里说的是旅行的日程安排。interview采访;program方案;meeting会议。‎ ‎59. A. ending B. calling C. repeating D. staying 答案 A 解析 由前面的start可知,此处说的是旅行的结束时间,故选ending。call打电话;repeat重复;stay停留。‎ ‎60. A. honored B. lovely C. intelligent D. lucky 答案 D 解析 由前面提到的旅行的日程安排以及目的地可知,能得到这张机票是一件幸运的事情,Axani说这位幸运的(lucky)女士将在网站上公布,而且这次旅行将会在网上被分享。‎ ‎【二】‎ My kids and I were heading into the supermarket over the weekend. On ‎ the way,we spotted a man holding a piece of paper that said,“ 41 my job. Family to Feed.”‎ At this store,a 42 like this is not normal. My 10-year-old noticed him and made a 43 on how bad it must be to have to stand 44 in the cold wind.‎ In the store,I asked each of my kids to 45 something they thought our “friend” there would 46 .They got apples,a sandwich and a bottle of juice. Then my 17-year-old suggested giving him a 47 .I thought about it.We were 48 on cash ourselves,but...well,sometimes 49 from our need instead of our abundance is 50 what we need to do!All the kids 51 something they could do away with for the week.‎ When we handed him the bag of 52 ,he lit up and thanked us with 53 eyes. When I handed him the gift card,saying he could use it for 54 his family might need,he burst into tears.‎ This has been a wonderful 55 for our family. For days the kids have been looking for others we can 56 !Things would have played out so 57 if I had simply said,“No,we really don’t have 58 to give more.” Stepping out not only helped a brother in 59 ,it also gave my kids the 60 taste of helping others. It’ll go a long way with them.‎ 语篇解读 这是一篇记叙文。作者在和孩子们去超市的路上遇到一个乞讨者。他失去了工作,还有一家人要养活。作者和孩子们共同帮助了这位乞讨者。‎ ‎41. A. Lost B. Changed C. Quit D.

A. condition B. place C. sight D. show 答案 C 解析 那人手里拿着一张写有“失去工作,供养家人”的纸,站在冷风中。这种情景在超市外面并不常见。condition条件;place地方;sight情景,景象;show展示。由语境知选C项。‎ ‎43. A. suggestion B. comment C. decision D. call 答案 B 解析 十岁的孩子看到这个站在冷风中的求助者十分感慨,发表评论(comment)。suggestion建议;decision决定;call电话,均不符合句意。‎ ‎44. A. outside B. proudly C.by D. angrily 答案 A 解析 由“in the cold wind”所提供的信息可以判断此人是站在超市外面的。‎ ‎45.

A. easy B. low C. soft D. loose 答案 B 解析 根据前面“I thought about it.”可知,作者他们本身带的现金也不多了(low on cash,即手头拮据)。easy容易的;low (数量等)不足的;soft 柔软的;loose 松散的。B项显然符合句意。‎ ‎49. A. giving B. saving C. spending D. begging 答案 A 解析 根据上文的giving以及此处语境可知,此处表达“有时把我们需要的,而不是富足的东西给别人,这正是我们需要做的”,所以选择giving。‎ ‎50. A. yet B. even C. still D. just 答案 D 解析 用“just(正是,恰是)”能够体现出作者此时的情感,即:突出强调“就是需要这样做”。yet然而;even甚至;still仍然。‎ ‎51.

A. whoever B. whatever C. whichever D. whenever 答案 B 解析 由句子结构可知,这是一个宾语从句。从句谓语动词need之后缺少宾语,故可将D项排除。再结合句意“我告诉他可以用这张卡为家人购买可能需要的任何东西”可知答案为B。 ‎ ‎55. A. experience B. example C. message D. adventure 答案 A 解析 由全文所述可知,这是一次非常棒的经历,给了孩子们莫大的鼓舞。experience经历;example例子;message口信;adventure冒险。故答案为A。‎ ‎56.

A. suddenly B. vividly C. differently D. perfectly 答案 C 解析 句意为:如果我当时告诉孩子们没有钱去帮助更多的人,事情可能会完全不同,他们可能就不会有这样的举动。suddenly突然;vividly生动地;differently不同地;perfectly完美地。由句意可知C项为正确答案。‎ ‎58. A. time B. power C. patience D. money 答案 D 解析 见上题解析。money钱,符合句意。‎ ‎59. A. fear B. love C. need D. memory 答案 C 解析 综合前文所叙述的经历可知,我和孩子们帮助了一位处于困境中的人。in ‎ need需要帮助的,处于困境中的,符合语境。‎ ‎60.

I think it is a general principle. 39 is the best teacher. The lessons they learned may not be 40 what they would have gotten in school,but are certainly more personal and meaningful,because they had to work them out on their own.‎ 语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。作者的女儿所在的球队在和训练有素的对手比赛时前两场输了,但这些女孩把比赛的经验融合到了第二天的比赛中,终于得分了。作者由此得出了“经验是最好的老师”的结论。‎ ‎21.
