(三)

Sometimes it is better not to know the 1 of a country that you are visiting 2 it is to know just a little of it, The 3 is this: the natives of your 4 country will often rush to 5 you if you seem completely lost and helpless. But they will usually misunderstand your small 6 to speak their language. They will think that you know 7 more than you do. For example, I once asked three people 8 carefully memorized phrasebook Spanish how to get to a bus station in Mexico City. 9 each of them poured out a flood of 10 Spanish. The result was 11 I didn’t understand a word and 12 around for an hour before I found the station. 13 I had missed the bus. The next time I encountered a(n) 14 like this in another city, I was a lot 15 , so I acted dumbly. Trying to look very pitiful, I 16 a stranger and asked simply, “Bus station?” He 17 told me how to get there. he showed me to the 18 walking three blocks out of his 19 to help a poor, dumb and helpless 20 .

1. A. conventions B. customs C. people D. language

答案:D

解析A、B、C三个都是复数,而根据后面这个词的代词为it知:这里需要填单数,那么只有D项可以。另外,根据下文也可以知道这里要填language.

2. A. if B. unless C. than D. when

答案: C

解析根据前面的信号词better,知这里该填than.

3. A. cause B. reason C. explanation D. account

答案: B

解析native 当地人; 后面一句是解释的原因,所以这里选reason.

4. A. host B. home C. foreign D. visiting

答案: A

解析host东道主,东道国;

5. A. help B. show C. tell D. direct

答案: A

解析显然用help,这句话说:如果你看起来完全迷路了而且很无助,那么你所到国家的当地人会跑来帮助你。

6. A. intentions B. attempts C. gestures D. motions

答案: B

解析intention 企图,意图; attempt 企图,试图; gesture 姿势,手势; motion 运动,手势,提议; misunderstanding 误解; C、D显然意思不对;关键A、B两项选哪个?后面一定接of ,形式为:intention of doing sth; 而attempt后接不定式,形式为:attempt to do sth,故选用B项正确。

7. A. a little B. no C. a lot D. many

答案: C

解析注意横线后面的more than you do.他们会认为你知道得更多一点。横线要填部分在句子中充当程度状语,只能用a lot.另外根据句子及四个选项意思也可以选出C项正确。

8. A. with B. by C. from D. in

答案:D

解析:空前是“例如,我曾问三个人…”,在空后面找其核心词,“仔细背的那种实用书的西班牙语…”及“怎样到墨西哥城的汽车站。”显然答案为:D,in Spanish 用西班语。

9. A. In fact B. In turn C. In reply D. In charge

答案: C

解析each of them poured out a flood of …Spanish,他们中的一个快速说出一堆…西班牙语…。显然,C项意思符合,你问人家路人家要答复你,in reply,答复。

10. A. complicated B. detailed C. speaking D. academic

答案: A

解析 参考第九题,说一大堆什么样的西班牙语?看选项:complicated 复杂的; detailed 详尽的; speaking 口语的; academic 学术的;再看后面一句大概知道,结果是“我一句也没有听懂…”故这里选用A,说了一大堆复杂的西班牙语。

11. A. then B. what C. so D. that

答案: D

解析结果是…,显然后面是that引导的表语从句。

12. A. wandered B. waited C. looked D. traveled

答案: A

解析wander around 到处溜达;前面说我一句也没有听懂,这里接着说,我四处溜达了一个小时才找到那个汽车站。

13. A. Before long B. Soon after C. By then D. Just then

答案: C

解析空后是过去完时态,故这里应该用by then,意思是“到那一刻”;

14. A. accident B. chance C. opportunity D. situation

答案: D

解析在另一个城市,我遇到了类似的…,应该填situation,情况,局势;也就是:在另一个城市我遇到了这样的事情。

15. A. smarter B. clever C. intelligent D. knowledgeable

答案: A

解析几个词都是形容词,smarter 精明的,自做聪明的; clever 聪明(褒义); intelligent 聪明的,智商高的; knowledgeable 博学的; 关键是A、B两项,根据语境我们知,另外又一次遇到这样的事情时,他就学聪明了,故意学得笨一点,好让别人耐心帮他,故A正确。

16. A. met B. stopped C. caught D. grabbed

答案: B

解析装得看上去很可怜的样子,我让一个陌生人站住(停下来)并且很简单地问他,“汽车站?”B项stopped的意思是“停下,使(某人)停下”。另外:met 碰到; caught为“抓住”; grabbed “紧抓”。

17. A. at once B. at first C. not only D. right away

答案: C

解析那个人不仅告诉我怎样到哪儿,所以用not only;因为后面一句说了,那个人又为我做了另一件事,那么这句话说是:那个人不仅…而且…。

18. A. route B. road C. street D. place

答案: D

解析我问的是汽车站,所以选D项最合适。那个人亲自把我带到那个地方(place)。

19. A. place B. house C. direction D. way

答案: D

解析out of one’s way ;固定搭配。

20. A. loser B. stranger C. layman D. comer

答案: B

解析那个人改变了他自己的道路方向,走了三个街区把我带到汽车站,帮助一个可怜的,笨笨的无助的陌生人。
