Answer 1

36—40 ADCBA     41—45DACDA     46—50 CBADA     51— 55 DACCA

解析:

36.主要測試形容詞的詞義區(qū)別：令人高興地 ；悲傷地 ；普通的 ；驚訝的。結(jié)合具體的語境譯文如下：遇到務(wù)實(shí)的人會(huì)令人高興地�？芍�最佳答案。

37.主要測試動(dòng)詞的詞義區(qū)別：遇到 ；迎接 ；受到 ；接受。結(jié)合語境可知譯文：務(wù)實(shí)的人容易交流，并且容易平等地接受其他人。

38.主要區(qū)別所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)名詞的詞義：情況 ；種類 ；相反 ；例子。由語境可知譯文：務(wù)實(shí)的人恰好和高傲、自大的人相反。所以最佳答案為opposite。

39.主要測試情態(tài)動(dòng)詞的詞義區(qū)別：一定 ；可能 ；應(yīng)該 ；將要。譯文如下：當(dāng)然，務(wù)實(shí)的人可能是社會(huì)中重要的成員。但是他們不會(huì)讓自己的重要性沖昏自己的頭腦。故此最佳答案也就明了啦。

40.主要測試四個(gè)連詞的詞義區(qū)別，結(jié)合第39題的譯文可知最佳答案為but。

41.主要測試具體語境中動(dòng)詞的搭配：consider sb to be 結(jié)構(gòu)。結(jié)合語境可知譯文：他們不會(huì)把自己看的比那些不太重要的人更加重要。至此答案一目了然。

42.主要測試固定結(jié)構(gòu)，結(jié)合具體語境可知譯文：據(jù)說自傲、自大的人會(huì)毫無理由的擺出高傲的樣子。進(jìn)而可以選出最佳答案。

43.從文中的句子：There is   43   way a person with his nose in the air can be down-to-earth.可知譯文如下：高傲的人不可能務(wù)實(shí)。另外結(jié)合上下語境可選答案。

44.主要測試動(dòng)詞的詞義區(qū)別：發(fā)現(xiàn) ；發(fā)現(xiàn) ，找到 ；制造 ；使用 。文章第三段的譯文如下：美國人使用了另外一個(gè)差不多和“務(wù)實(shí)”一樣的短語。也就是“腳踏實(shí)地”。腳踏實(shí)地的人就是對(duì)現(xiàn)實(shí)有深刻理解的人。他擁有所謂的“常識(shí)”。也擁有夢想，但是他絕不會(huì)讓夢想阻撓自己現(xiàn)實(shí)的知識(shí)。從以上的譯文可知，應(yīng)該選擇use屬最佳。

45.主要測試文章的上下語境，結(jié)合第44題的譯文即可選擇答案。

46.主要測試動(dòng)詞的詞義區(qū)別：需要 ；缺少 ；擁有 ；喜歡。另外結(jié)合第44題的譯文可選答案。

47.主要測試名詞的詞義：財(cái)富 ；夢想 ；成就 ；缺點(diǎn)。再結(jié)合具體語境可選出最佳答案。

48.主要測試動(dòng)詞的詞義：阻撓 ；保護(hù) ；擁有 ；獲得。另外結(jié)合文章的行文即可選出最佳答案。

49.主要測試語境的利用，文章的前文主要敘述：一種務(wù)實(shí)的人，另外句子：The opposite kind of   49   is one who has his “head-in-the-clouds”. 中也暗示了本段略敘述相反的人：空想的人。

50.由文中的句子：A man with his-head-in-the-clouds is a dreamer whose   50   is not in the real world.可知譯文如下：不切實(shí)際的人是個(gè)空想者，他的_____不符合實(shí)際。在結(jié)合四個(gè)答案：想法 ；生活 ；身體 ；頭腦。所以答案一目了然。

51.主要測試副詞的詞義區(qū)別：總是 ；因此 ；然而 ；有時(shí)。再結(jié)合文章的具體語境可知選：有時(shí)，屬于最佳。

52.由文中句子：  52   words from a teacher can usually bring a day-dreaming student down-to-earth.的譯文：老師____話語通常會(huì)讓一名空想的學(xué)生比較務(wù)實(shí)。可知：和老師搭配的應(yīng)該是嚴(yán)厲的話語，故此選擇sharp。

53.文章中句子：the person who is down-to-earth is very   53   to have both feet on-the –ground的主語為：the person ，也就是說主語為人，結(jié)合平時(shí)的學(xué)習(xí)可知只能選likely。

54.主要測試上下文的兼顧，只要能注意到下文的句子：when we are down-to-earth，該問題就可以迎刃而解了。

55.主要測試具體語境的理解，尤其是動(dòng)詞act及others。
