二、阅读理解
I start every summer with the best of intentions:to attack one big book from the past,a classic that I was supposed to have read when young and ambitious.Often the pairings of books and settings have been purely accidental:MobyDick on a three-day cross-country train trip;TheMagicMountain in a New England beachside cottage with
no locks on the doors,no telephones or televisions in the rooms,and little to do beyond row on the salt pond.Attempting TheManWithoutQualities on a return to Hawaii,my native
state,however,was less fruitful:I made it through one and a quarter volumes(册),then decided that I’d got the point and went swimming instead.
But this summer I find myself at a loss.I’m not quite interested in Balzac,say,or TristramShandy.There’s always WarandPeac e,which I’ve covered some distance several times,only to get bogged down in the “War” part,set it aside for a while,and realise that I have to start over from the beginning again,having forgotten everyone’s name and social rank.How appealing to simply fall back on a favourite—once more into TheWaves or Justine, which feels almost like cheating,too euch fun to properly belong in serious literature.
And then there’s Stendhal’s TheRedandtheBlack, which happens to be the name of my favourite cocktail(鸡尾酒)of the summer,created by Michael Cecconi at Savoy and Back Forty.It is easy
to drink,and knocking back three or four seems like such a delightful idea.Cecconi’s theory:“I take whatever is fresh at the green market and turn it into liquid.” The result is a pure shot of afternoon in the park,making one feel cheerful and peaceful all at once,lying on uncut grass with eyes shut,sun beating through the lids...

一、1.The house belongs to his father.
2.The television is worth ￥.
3.The hall can contain 200 people.
4.The apples taste good.
5.The girl is tasting the soup.
二、1.C 推理判断题。

根据第一段的关键词语settingshavebeenpurelyaccidental,traintrip,thesaltpond,areturnt oHawaii等可以看出,作者喜欢在旅行期间阅读。

2.D 词义猜测题。

根据画线短语后的“setitasideforawhile”以及“Ihavetostartoverfromthebeginningagain,havingforgotteneveryone ’snameandsocialrank”可以看出,因为忘记了小说中人物的名字和社会地位,作者不得不再从头来读小说,由此可推知,作者对这本小说的阅读没有进展。

3.B 推理判断题。

根据第一段提到的“toattackonebigbookfromthepast,aclassicthatIwassupposedtohaver
eadwhenyoungandambitious”可以看出,作者原本计划阅读经典的严肃文学作品,而不是像TheWaves或Justine这种刺激有趣的非严肃文学作品,所以作者感觉自己像是在作弊。

4.A 标题归纳题。

作者在第一段就提到,每年夏天开始的时候就决心攻读一本年轻时未读的经典著作。

接下来的两段作者讲述了自己的阅读经历和心得体会。

A项中的关键词summer和books恰恰反映了文章的主题。

三、1.C 根据空后的“Borrrring!”及下文莱内的一系列表现来看,莱内不想读姑姑给她的书。

此处描写莱内看到书时的反应,rolledhereyes 表现出莱内对这本书的不屑。

2.D 根据空后面的“withgreatinterest”及“joinedingrandconversations”可以看出,班上的孩子都被这个故事吸引住了。

surprise“使惊讶”;annoy“使恼怒”;puzzle“迷
惑”;attract“吸引”。

3.C 根据该段第一句话中的“hadreadthebooktoherstudents”及空前的“They”可知,德德姑姑曾将这个故事读给班上的学生听,孩子们饶有兴趣地倾听。

4.D 根据该段上文中的“theylovedit”及“withgreatinterest”可以看出,孩子们对这个故事非常感兴趣,所以会热情地
(enthusiastically)加入关于哈利冒险的讨论中。

suspiciously“怀疑地;可疑地”;anly“镇静地,平静地”;enthusiastically“热情地,热心地”。

5.B 根据上文莱内看到书时的反应及下文莱内抱怨故事太长可以看出,莱内觉得这本书很乏味(boring)。

6.A 根据下一段中的“therearelotsofpictures”可以看出,莱内抱怨书中没有插图。

7.C 根据空后的“therearelotsofpictures”可知,这本书中有很多插图,而非莱内认为的没有图画。

在这一点上莱内是错误的(wrong)。

8.A 空后的them指代前文中的pictures。

德德姑姑的意思是,要想看(see)这些图画,需要先把书中的文字读一下。

9.B 根据该段下文内容可以看出,为了说服莱内读书,德德姑姑想再进行一次尝试(try)。

10.A 德德姑姑让莱内归还书,理由是莱内的妈妈可能会喜欢(enjoy)听这个故事。

11.B 根据该段下文引号里的“Pleasereadalittle.”可知,这是莱内对姑姑的请求。

request“请求”。

12.C 根据上下文可知,听姑姑快要读完第一章时莱内对这本书也产生了兴趣,所以她要求姑姑阅读的声音大一点(louder)。

13.C 根据上文可知,莱内最初对这本书心生抗拒,但后来在姑姑的
影响下逐渐对其产生了兴趣,故莱内应该是一个不情愿的(unwilling)读者。

14.D 根据上下文可以看出,莱内最初不喜欢读这本书,但在德德姑
姑的影响下,她对阅读感到兴奋(excited)起来。

15.A 根据上下文可知,当阅读被以其感兴趣的文学话题呈现出来,
当她周围的人以身作则沉浸在阅读过程中时,她也会变得对阅读感到兴奋。

present“呈现,展现”;concern“涉及,使担心”;disturb“扰乱,使不安”;replace“代替”。
