课后能力测评(二)
Ⅰ.1.解析:选D。分析句子结构可知,空格后的部分是地点状语从句。
2.解析:选C。超市里架子上放的自然是“货物”了。
3.解析:选B。从下文得知,他们准备偷东西,所以穿“长”大衣来做掩护。四个选项中只有long与后面提到的toobig相符。
4.解析:选A。大衣长而大,穿在小孩子身上自然就觉得古怪。young,nervous,excited与strange之间没有逻辑上的因果关系。
5.解析:选C。由后文可知,是做贼的,所以提醒另一人要“当心”。
6.解析:选D。共两个小孩,故另一个用theother。
7.解析:选B。开头已暗示Kate是来买米的。
8.解析:选D。it指前面听到的声音,这种声音“听起来”像……。
9.解析:选A。货物之间有空隙,Kate正好可以看过去。
10.解析:选A。按常理小孩应把选中的东西放进购物篮中,但他们没有,故用insteadof。
11.解析:选B。it指前面已提到过的box。
12.解析:选D。could此处表示可能性。
13.解析:选B。由文意可知,第9空前的动作再次重复了一遍。
14.解析:选C。由文意可知,这时放入袋中的显然不是前面提到过的box,而是“其他”什么东西。
15.解析:选C。由文意可知,她看着他们,说明他们就在她面前。
16.解析:选A。由文意可知,购物篮中的物品两个小孩是准备付款的。
17.解析:选D。付款的东西自然是放在购物篮中的。
18.解析:选C。大衣的纽扣扣得整整齐齐,因为里面藏有东西,此处button是动词。
19.解析:选B。由even所表示的语气可以推知。
20.解析:选A。句意为:他们要离开时,结账的人甚至在向他们微笑。leave离开,符合语境。
6.解析:选D。细节理解题。根据文章第一段,查尔斯王子改变生活方式的途径是:乘班机和火车,不再乘污染严重的喷气式飞机和直升机。
7.解析:选A。推理判断题。从文章第二段,查尔斯王子对商界一连串的发问中可以看出他的不满。
8.解析:选C。细节理解题。由第五段“DuchyOriginals...istakingstepstoquantifyhowmuchcarbondioxideandothergreenhousegasisemitted...”其中quantify作动词用,意为“量化”,同C项的figureout(计算出)意思接近,因此C项正确。
9.解析:选B。词义理解题。根据语境判断,此处短语指的是我们对环境的破坏,查尔斯王子形象地把它比喻成我们“对地球的最大欠账”。
10.解析:选A。标题归纳题。文章介绍英国的查尔斯王子准备为环保事业身体力行,改变自己
的生活方式,以减少温室气体的排放,因此A项最能体现文章的中心。B项是“亡羊补牢,为时未晚”的意思,文中有一定的信息,但不是全文的中心;C项仅仅体现出“关心”,而没有体现行动;D项指的是整个王室,而没有紧扣查尔斯王子的行为。
Ⅲ.1.HowtoLessen/ReduceTestAnxiety或Steps/WaystoLessen/ReduceTestAnxiety或TipsonLessening/ReducingTestAnxiety
2.Thesethoughtscanmakeanxietyworseandmakeitharderforyoutodowellonthetest.
