The children of Nome would be 2 if it struck the town. Dr.Welch needed medicine as soon as possible to stop other kids from getting sick. 3 ,the closest supply was over 1,000 miles away, in Anchorage. ‎ How could the medicine get to Nome? The town's 　4　 was already full of ice, so it couldn't come by ship. Cars and horses couldn't travel on the 　5　 roads. Jet airplanes and big trucks didn't exist yet. ‎ ‎　6　 January 26, Billy and three other children had died. Twenty more were 　7　.Nome's town officials came up with a(n) 　8　. They would have the medicine sent by 　9　 from Anchorage to Nenana. From there, dogsled drivers—known as “mushers”—would 　10　 it to Nome in a relay. ‎ The race began on January 27.

At one point, huge piles of snow blocked his 　15　. He had to leave the trail to get around them. Conditions were so bad that it was impossible for him to 　16　 the trail again. The only hope was Balto, Kaasen's lead dog. Balto put his nose to the ground,　17　 to find the smell of other dogs that had traveled on the trail. If Balto failed, it would mean disaster for Nome. The minutes passed by. Suddenly, Balto began to　18　. He had found the trail. ‎ At 5:30 am on February 2, Kaasen and his dogs 　19　 in Nome. Within minutes, Dr.Welch had the medicine.

A 句意:……韦尔奇医生接诊了一位生病的小男孩并且得知他染上了白喉……examine“检查”；warn“警告”；interview“采访，面试”；cure“治愈”。故选A项。‎ 2. B 由第一段最后一句小镇与外界的联系被大雪切断及下文韦尔奇医生需要尽快拿到药可以推测，如果白喉病在诺姆市蔓延，诺姆市的儿童将会陷入“无助的(helpless)”境地。‎ 3. D 由上句可知，时间紧迫，然而最近的拿药处却远在千里之外，故选D项。moreover“此外”；therefore“因此”；otherwise “否则”。‎ 4. C 由下文中的by ship可知，此处指的是水上运输方式，与该种运输方式相关的选项为harbor“港口”。airport“机场”；station“车站”；border“边境，国界”。‎ 5.

Last summer, she wanted to 　3　 our local swim team. She practiced hard and finally 　4　 it. The team practice, 　5　, was a rough start. She coughed and choked and could hardly 　6　 her first few weeks. Hearing her coughing bitterly one night, I decided to 　7　 her from it all. But Cathy woke me up early next morning, wearing her swimsuit 　8　 to go! I told her she shouldn’t swim after a whole night’s coughing, but she refused to　9　 and insisted she go. ‎ ‎ From that day on, Cathy kept swimming and didn’t 　10　 a single practice. She had a 　11　 intention within herself to be the best she could be. My ten-year-old was growing and changing right before my eyes, into this 　12　 human being with a passion and a mission. There were moments of 　13　 of course: often she would be the last swimmer in the race. It was difficult for Cathy to accept that she wasn’t a 　14　—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 　15　 her friends and praise their accomplishments. As the ceremony was nearing the end, I suddenly heard the head coach 　16　,“The highest honor goes to Cathy!”Looking around, he continued,“Cathy has inspired us with her 　17　 and enthusiasm.　18 skills and talents bring great success, the most valuable asset one can hold is the heart.” ‎ It was the greatest 　19　 of my daughter’s life.

D 文章开头提到作者从哈佛和牛津毕业后，看到一个个朋友高官厚禄，事业有成，再根据空后的“on their way to impressive careers”可知应选D项。well“顺利地,令人满意地”。‎ 2. B 作者的这些朋友，依照社会的标准来衡量，似乎很容易获取成功。句中的have it made意为“有成功的把握，很容易办到”。‎ 3. A 根据下文内容可知，因为这些人获得了成功，他们不可能再去那些低档次的地方消费，所以他们在廉价但气氛友好的当地酒吧最后一次喝酒。‎ 4. B第二段主要讲这些表面看似幸运的人在生活上的一些变化，因此此处表示从小公寓里搬(moved)出，搬进高楼里。‎ 5. C 此处描述朋友们奢侈的生活方式，他们预订座位的饭店饭菜昂贵，一瓶酒的价格等同于大学里一个月的房租。‎ 6. C 根据空后的“despite their success, they aren’t happy”可知，他们中的许多人承认(admitted)尽管他们成功，但他们不快乐。‎ 7. ‎ A complain of是固定短语，意为“抱怨”，他们抱怨同事们不友好。‎ 8. B 根据前面的feel sad for可知，这些工作是他们不喜欢做的，所以他们对一天八小时的工作感到烦恼。A项意为“(尤指有计划地)分发，分配”；B项意为“不喜欢，讨厌”；C项意为“(为……)鼓掌”；D项意为“忽略，忽视”。因此选B项。‎ 9. D 此处继续描述那些成功人士的烦恼，一些人不尊重他们效力的公司，说自己感到厌倦和空虚。‎ 10. C 然而，这些人不是全身心地投入工作，他们发觉自己工作的目的只是为了维持那种他们很快就习惯了的生活方式。‎ 11. A 分析句子结构，to which they have so quickly become accustomed是定语从句，修饰lifestyle。become accustomed to是固定短语，意为“习惯于，对……变得习以为常”。‎ 12. A 根据上文中“People often...path”和下文中的“the idea of leaving their jobs to work for something...leads them to the same conclusion...”可知，人们经常说想尝试一份更满意的工作，但这种想法最终都落下同样的结局。因此此处选yet“但是,然而”表示转折。‎ 13. D 有些人想过放弃自己的工作去为他们信仰的某些事情而工作，或者找到一个让他们有更多时间陪伴家人的职位。‎ 14. C 下文中提到的他们有贷款、账单、要还清抵押贷款和为退休存钱，所以，要实现他们前面的想法是不可能的。impossible“不可能的”，符合语境。‎ 15. D 人们的美好想法最终败给了现实：他们需要支付贷款、账单，他们要付清抵押贷款，他们要为退休后的生活攒钱。‎ 16. A 他们意识到在生活中某些东西失去了，但是脱离原有的生活轨道是很难的事情。‎ 17. B 根据上文内容可知，现实生活中的人们，总是为生计所累，不可能说走就走，说离开就离开，所以脱离原有的生活轨道是不容易做到的。‎ 18. A 在一个趋向于以金钱来衡量一切的社会，我们从小就知道从金钱的角度来考虑我们的决定。measure意为“衡量，测量”，符合语境。‎ 19. D 根据上文内容可知，很多人之所以放弃自己的决定，就是觉得不合算，这个“合算”当然是从金钱的角度来衡量的。‎ 20. B 根据下文中“These are...to consider most.”可知，那正是我们许多人忽视的价值，正是我们最需要考虑的价值。所以，此处选involved，“be involved in...”意为“涉及……”。此处意为：追求金钱至上，那么与此同时的个人和社会价值呢?‎ Cloze 6 ‎ In 1973, I was teaching elementary school.

B 前文说，“我”在小学教书。每天，27个孩子走进教室。根据下文可知，这里的The Thinking Laboratory就是后面提到的Room 104。build “建造”；enter“进入”；decorate“装饰；装修”；run “奔跑”。‎ 2. A 上文提到的The Thinking Laboratory是孩子们投票决定的Room 104的名字。rule“规则”；brand“品牌”；plan “计划”。‎ 3. D 孩子们之所以把他们的教室称为The Thinking Laboratory是因为他们原来教室的名字Room 104太过平凡。dull“枯燥无味的；单调的”。‎ 4. B 句意：弗雷迪是一个普通的学生，但他不是一个普通的人。scholar“学者”；citizen“公民”；worker“工人”。‎ 5. D 句意：碰到开心的事情他笑得最爽朗，对于任何人的不幸他都会最伤心。laugh“笑；大笑”。‎ 6. A misfortune“不幸的事”；disbelief“不相信”；dishonesty“不诚实”；mistake“错误”。根据语境可知，这里指不幸的事情。‎ 7. D 每学年结束前，“我”都发给孩子们一个特殊的礼物。change“改变”；approach“接近；靠近”；return“回来”；end“结束”。‎ 8. B lesson“课程；教训”；gift“礼物”；report“报告”；message“信息”。根据后文的T-shirts可知，这里指的是礼物。‎ 9. A T恤衫上印着“动词是你们的朋友”。根据后文可知，他们一生中做的大部分有趣的事情都是动词，因此选friends。award“奖励”；master“主人”；task“任务”。‎ 10. C simple“简单的”；unique“独特的；独具一格的”；fun“好玩的；开心的”；clever“聪明的”。根据语境可知，选fun。‎ 11. D assessment“评估；评价”；comment“评论”；instruction“用法说明”；update“提供的最新信息”。这里的意思是原来的老学生总是会提供一些老同学的新信息。‎ 12. A graduation“毕业”；retirement“退休”；separation“分开；隔离”；resignation“辞职”。根据后面的from high school可知，这里指毕业。‎ 13. C 前文说，弗雷迪非常具有同情心，这里说，他依然是“我”四十年前见到的那个具有爱心的人。daring“大胆的”；modest “谦虚的”；caring“关心人的”；smart“聪明的”。‎ 14. B 根据前面的overnight和homeless可知，他让这个无家可归的人在他的卡车里睡觉。‎ 15. C 句意：还有一次，他把钱借给朋友买房子。pay“付钱”；charge“索价；要价”；lend“借出”；owe“欠(账)”。‎ 16. D 句意：就在去年，“我”正在进行一个研讨会，这时候有人敲教室的门。workshop“讲习班；研讨会”，故用conduct“组织；进行”。observe“观察”；prepare“准备”；design“设计”。后面的“I stopped teaching”也有所提示。‎ 17. C 一位女士很不好意思地打断了“我”讲课，然后递给“我”一个信封。regret“后悔；遗憾”；avoid“避免”；excuse“原谅；宽恕”；ignore“忽视；不理睬”。这里是打断别人时的用语，因此用excuse。‎ 18. A 根据后面的“Inside were the ‘Verbs’ shirt and...”可知，这里的意思是“我停止教课，打开了信封”。‎ 19. C 根据后面的“Freddy passed away on Thanksgiving. He wanted you to have this.”可知，这是弗雷迪的妈妈写的便条。picture“图片”；bill“账单”；note“便条；通知”；diary“日记”。‎ 20. B 虽然弗雷迪离开了我们，但是我们都从弗雷迪身上学到了很多。这里的took与上文的was taken呼应。‎ Cloze 7 ‎ A Toronto man is offering a free round-the-world air ticket to the right woman. But 　1　 apply.

D 根据上下文可知，很多人只凭桌上一个小小的装置(电话)就有了对你的印象，即使从未谋面。根据句意选met“见面；遇见”。‎ 2. A 他们对你的一切了解都来自于这台装置,有时甚至相隔好几百英里。故选came。‎ 3. B 然而他们感觉仅通过你的声音就能了解你是个什么样的人。thus“因此，这样”；yet“然而”；then“于是，接着”；indeed “的确；确实”。根据句意选B项。‎ 4. C 根据上下文可知，此处表示“仅仅根据你的声音”故选just“仅仅，只是”。‎ 5. A 根据上下文可知，这个小小的装置就是给人们传递声，保持联系的电话，故选A项。‎ 6. D 此句承上启下，根据前一句表示“电话的确如此强大”以及but和下文作者的亲身经历可知，有时根据电话里对方的声音就加以判断，也会出现错误。因此accurate“准确的；精确的”符合句意。‎ 7. A . Rani是“我”素未谋面的一位旅行代理人，我从未见过其本人。in person“本人；亲自”；by myself“单独；独自”；in public“公开”；on purpose“故意”。根据上下文可知A项正确。‎ 8. A 根据But可知，虽然她给我买到的飞机票等都是最便宜的，但是她的声音冷淡的令我十分不悦。annoyed“生气的；不高兴的”；interested“感兴趣的”；discouraged“感到泄气的”；confused “感到困惑的”。根据句意选A项。注意体会作者的情感。‎ 9. C 根据句意，她令我不高兴，我有时甚至会有换人的想法。故find符合句意。‎ 10. D 一天早上，我家里有急事，急需订票。arrange“安排；整理”；postpone“推迟；延期”；confirm“确定；批``` 准”；book“预订；预约”。根据句意选D项。注意动宾的意义搭配。‎ 11. A 因事情紧急，我第一次跑进了她的办公室。根据前文“faceless...never met”可知，此处表示“第一次”，故选for the first time。at any time“在任何时候”；from time to time“有时；不时”；in good time“及时地；迅速地”。‎ 12. B 根据前文，已经面对面相见了，此处表示“看到我抓狂的样子，她同情地跳了起来。”故选seeing。‎ 13. B 根据前面sympathetically“同情地”可知，看到我这个样子，她很理解，给我一个微笑，以示安慰。故选comforting。‎ 14. C 根据上下文，此处是已经成功订票，将机票立刻打印出来。故选C项ticket。‎ 15. C 根据语境，对方成功帮“我”订到机票，“我”自然要表示感激。因此C项gratefully“感激地”符合句意。‎ 16. D 根据后文“with a big smile on her face waving to wish me a safe trip”可知，作者看到的Rani是个可爱友善的人，故只有D项pleasant符合句意。‎ 17. D 当得知她就是我先前认为态度冷淡的Rani时，我惊呆了，一时语塞。speechless“无语的；说不出话来”符合语境。故选D项。‎ 18. B 根据上下文，Rani根本不像我先前认为的那样冷漠无情，实际上她是如此的和善。故选B项。和上文的cold形成强烈的对比。‎ 19. C 根据上下文可知，作者现在亲眼所见，Rani待人友善,而她的这些表现都是无声的，是不能通过电话线传达出来的。故friendliness符合语境。forgiveness“宽恕；原谅”；eagerness “热心”；skillfulness“灵巧；技巧”。‎ 20. B “我就在这里等着你”可以引申为“我随时乐意效劳”，这是Rani的一种乐于助人的处世态度。explanation“解释；说明”；attitude“态度；看法”；concept“概念；观念”；behavior“行为；举止”。故只有B项正确。‎ Cloze 9 ‎ A Welcome Gift Dario and his mother loved their new apartment. The living room was large enough for their piano. That night, the two of them 　1　 side by side at the piano. They played jazz music to celebrate their new home. The loud 　2　 filled the room and made them feel very happy. ‎ The next morning,　3　,their happiness disappeared. Someone had left a 　4　 under their door during the night. One of their neighbors had written to complain about the sound of the piano. Dario’s mother asked the building superintendent if he knew anything about it. But he said that they were all 　5　 people and he couldn’t imagine any of them had done that. Later that morning, Dario suggested that they write a letter to their 　6　 and apologize for their playing. ‎ ‎“Maybe we could go and　7　 everyone in person,”his mother said. ‎ ‎“What if we invited them to come here for a 　8　 instead?”Dario asked. ‎ They both loved the 　9　.Over the next few days, they sent out invitations and prepared desserts 　10　 their guests.They decorated the apartment with streamers and party lights. ‎ Finally, the day of the party 　11　.Some guests brought presents. Others brought flowers. Some even brought desserts to 　12　.One woman, Mrs.Gilbert,　13　Dario’s mother with a book of piano music by Chopin. ‎ ‎“I heard you playing the other night,” she said.“The sounds woke me out of bed. I 14　that you might play like this every night. So I wrote a short note. I hope you don’t think I disliked the playing.”  ‎ Dario’s mother smiled at Mrs. Gilbert. “I think maybe we 15 you an apology,” she said. “I didn’t　16　 how late it was when we were playing. Maybe we should play some quieter music at night.”  ‎ ‎“You play, you play!”Mrs.Gilbert said. “I like what you play!
