1 核心素养测评三十二 Module 2 Fantasy Literature Ⅰ. 阅读理解 A 　　Over the course of his long and amazing career, W. Somerset Maugham( 1874-1965) achieved great success as a novelist and a playwright. Not happy with just being a writer, Maugham was also a spy. But this was less of a success than his writing. 　　Dec 15, 2016 marked 51 years since his death, and Maugham’s works have never been out of print. Of Human Bondage(1915) was his masterpiece. The title comes from the great 17th century Dutch philosopher Baruch Spinoza. The philosopher thought that human beings were slaves to what they wanted and needed. That’s exactly what Philip Carey, the hero of the novel, experiences. 　　Carey is a slave to his emotional needs. He doesn’t get much love when he is a child, so he looks for love later. After losing both his parents early in his life, Carey is raised by a paternal uncle who is emotionally cold. In his adult life, he goes from woman to woman and job to job, as he finds it a struggle to find either personal happiness or the right job for his talents. Not wanting to become a lawyer, he is eventually trained and qualified as a physician. 　　But true love is much harder to find. He finds that he attracts women he has no feelings for and falls in love with those who have no interest in him or, worse, try to take advantage of him. He is torn apart by the pain of his helpless love of a waitress and not being able to return the love of a young artist. 　　Although Maugham tried to hide it, the book is about his own life. Carey’s loveless childhood and romantic troubles were Maugham’s own. However, he managed to turn these painful details into a story that would interest readers who share his characters’ feeling. 　　Maugham does not just write about his life in the novel. He writes about deeply personal things in a way that speaks to everyone about their wants and needs. 【文章大意】本文讲述 Maugham 的杰作, 至今 Maugham 的作品仍然很受读者欢迎。 1.

(能 够做某事), 该短语在句中作谓语, 所以要在 able 前面加 be。 3. 【解析】第三句 sincere→sincerely。考查副词。句意: 因为突然的改变导致的不便, 我 真诚地向你道歉。在英语里副词通常作状语修饰形容词、副词、动词或整个句子。而形容词 通常作定语、表语修饰名词、代词。句中应该使用副词修饰谓语动词, 所以要把 sincere 改 为 sincerely。 4. 【解析】第三句causing→caused。考查非谓语动词。名词 inconvenience 与动词 cause 构成被动关系, 要用过去分词在句中作定语。所以要把 causing 改为 caused。 5. 【解析】第四句 suggested→suggest。考查时态。句意: 因此我建议把约会从本周末下 午 3 点推迟到下周星期四下午 3 点。全文都使用一般现在时描述目前的事情, 本句也要使用 一般现在时, 所以要把 suggested 改为 suggest。 6. 【解析】第四句删除 in。考查固定用法。next 后面接某个名词可以单独作时间状语, 不 需要介词。本句中 next Thursday 单独作状语, in 是多余的。所以要删除 in。 7. 【解析】第六句 a→an。考查不定冠词。句意: 好消息是一场中国画展将在本周末举行。 句中名词 exhibition 是以元音音素开头, 要用不定冠词 an 修饰, 所以要把 a 改为 an。 8. 【解析】第六句 are→is。考查主谓一致。本句主语是单数名词短语 an exhibition of Chinese paintings, 谓语动词应该使用单数形式, 所以要把 are 改为 is。 9. 【解析】第七句 painter→painters。考查名词单复数。句意: 很多全国著名的画家的作 品也被包括在内。形容词 many 修饰可数名词复数形式。 10. 【解析】第七句 who→whom。考查定语从句。本题定语从句的先行词是 many nationwide famous painters, 关系代词 whom 指代先行词作介词 among 的宾语, 非限制性定语从句中作 宾语只能用 whom。
