Answer 1

36．A

解析：在特定語境中選擇恰當名詞的能力

A．skill為技術，技巧；B.experience為經驗，經歷；C .practice為訓練，練習；

D．method為方法，手段。綜合全文以及此題空后的定語從句(she picked up by herself)，此題應填寫作技巧，故答案為A。

37．C

解析：在特定語境中選擇恰當名詞的能力

題空后teaching disabled children為一種工作，并且作題空的同位語，所以應選C為

正確答案。

38．D

解析：在特定語境中選擇恰當副詞的能力

根據上下語境，此處是說她成為一個兼職作者時，強調在當時，寫故事是她自己的興趣，所以應選D作為答案。

39．C

解析：在特定語境中選擇恰當形容詞的能力

此處是指她的個人興趣，屬常識題，應選C作為答案。

40．A

解析：在特定語境中選擇恰當形容詞或副詞的能力

根據上下語境，出版商立刻建議她把故事結集出版，可知，出版商對她的故事感興趣，其實此題是一只保留了形容詞interested的從句，補全為：Because the publisher was interested in her stories．因從句主語和主句主語一致，所以把從句的主語和be動詞都省略了，只保留了形容詞interested。所以A為正確答案。

此題乍看起來，好像與前后無太大關聯，其實玄機藏在文后，此題的區分度很好。

41．B

解析：在特定語境中選用正確名詞的能力

此題屬前提示題，由前句的her stories可知此空應填story，所以B為正確答案。

42．

解析：在特定語境中選用正確冠詞和形容詞的能力

根據上下語境，應為“對于一個不出名的作家，這是一筆豐厚的資金”，而對于B，C

兩項則不合適，所以D為正確答案。

 43．B

解析：在特定語境中選用正確連詞的能力

根據前后兩個形容詞interesting(有趣的)和uneasy(不安的)，可知前后兩句并不是因果關系，所以排除A、C。B. Even though縱然，即使，D．Except that除……之外(不包括在內)。根據上下語境，此題是為了引出她的作品的另一特點leave readers uneasy，所以B為正確答案。

44．C

解析：在特定語境中選用正確動詞的能力

A．找到，發現，B．變成，變得，C．leave聽任其在某處，使保持某種狀態，D．hold使某人保持特定位置、姿勢、態度等。此題是指使得讀者保持不安的狀態，所以C為正確答案。

45．B

解析：在特定語境中選用正確動詞的能力

通過下句；speak with my grandmother，who died many years ago．的后暗示，可知此

題應選B，connect with(與……聯系)。

46．D

解析：在特定語境中選用正確名詞的能力

據上下語境和46空前的do(表強調)，have(經歷，遭受)和when引導的定語從句，A、B、C三項中的名詞不能作先行詞，所以應選D。

此題難度較大，可譯為“我認為我不能同死去的人取得聯系，但是我確實經歷了事情無緣無故來到我面前的時刻。”

47．A

解析：在特定語境中選用正確短語的能力

A．for no reason無緣無故；B．from a distance從遠處；C．by accident偶然地，意外地；D．as gifts作為禮物。根據上下文，應選A為正確答案。

48．C

解析：在特定語境中選用正確名詞的能力

A．description描述，B．painting繪畫，C．scene場景、情景、風景，D．talk談話。

此題應與50題一起考慮，據常識，50題應填history。50題填好以后，與中國歷史有關，作者所要完成的應該是一套古代中國場景小說。故48題應選C。

49．B

解析：在特定語境中選用恰當副詞的能力

據上下語境“我正在考慮……，這時門鈴突然響了”，此題也為常識題，提前沒有約

人，所以C排除，這里也不存在幸與不幸，故D也排除，而A．Surprisingly吃驚地，用在這里程度太深，故也應排除。所以B為正確答案。

50．B為正確答案。

51．D

解析：在特定語境中選用恰當過去分詞的能力

此題為介詞+動名詞作賓語結構，根據前后文邏輯應為她沒有訂購、預訂，所以選D為正確答案。

52．A

解析：在特定語境中選用恰當形容詞的能力

據后文She lives in the same  53  she lived 27 years ago的暗示，可知她沒有變，

所以選用A為正確答案。

53．C

解析：在特定語境中選用恰當名詞的能力

常識題，lives in the house，所以選C為正確答案。

54．C

解析：在特定語境中選用恰當名詞的能力

與55題綜合考慮，在這里有更多可以享受幸福快樂的空間，而不僅僅是寫作，所以C為正確答案。

55．A
