Unit 2  Poems

    人們總是會從各種各樣的咖啡杯里選擇最好看最昂貴的，就好像人們在生活中總是為自己尋求最好的東西，而這就是人們產生壓力的原因。人生就是咖啡杯里的咖啡，我們應該去享受咖啡的美好味道，而不是把自己的精力集中在為自己挑選漂亮的杯子。重要的是咖啡，而不是容器。21.  c。根據下文的“…complaints about the   22   in work and in life.”可知他們是在談話。22.  b。根據下文的“…that is the   26  of your stress.” 可知他們是在抱怨生活中的壓力。 23.  b。根據下文的描述可知有各種各樣的咖啡杯。 24.  c。根據下文的“…leaving behind the plain and cheap ones.”可知便宜的、不好看的咖啡杯都剩下了，而昂貴漂亮的咖啡杯都被人拿起來用了。 25.  b。每個人都選擇昂貴漂亮的咖啡杯，這符合人性的特點，所以這是很正常的事情。26.  d。根據上文的“while it is   25   for you to want only the best for yourselves…”可知教授在解釋說這就是人們產生壓力的起源。 27.  b。教授的意思是“你們真正想要的是咖啡”。 28.  c。你們真正想要的是咖啡卻有意識地選擇好的杯子，上下文為轉折關系。 29.  a。從上文“life is the coffee.”以及下面的“…and do not change the quality of life.”可知答案為a。 30.  c。上文提示。從上文人們只注意咖啡杯的細節可知此處意為人們只把注意力放在杯子上而沒有珍惜生命本質的東西。 2語法填空 閱讀下面短文，按照句子結構的語法性和上下文連貫的要求，在空格處填入一個適當的詞或使用括號中詞語的正確形式填空，并將答案填寫在答題卡標號為31-40的相應位置上。詞數：142完成時間：8分鐘難度：     people are not as honest as they once were. the temptation (誘惑) to steal is greater   31   ever before especially in large shops. a detective recently watched a well-dressed woman   32   always went into a large store on monday morning.   33   monday, there were fewer people in the shop than usual    34  the woman came in, so it was easier for the detective   35   (watch)her. the woman first bought a few small articles. after a little 6me, she chose one of  36     (expensive) dresses in the shop and handed it to an assistant who wrapped it up for her as quickly   37   possible. then the woman simply took it and walked out of the shop    38   paying. when she   39  (catch), the detective found out that the shop-assistant was her daughter. thc girl "gave" her mother  a free dress once   40   week. 答案： 31.than  32.who/that  33.one  34.when  35.to watch  36.the most expensive  37.as 38.without  39.was caught 40. a   31.than.greater than是形容詞的比較級結構：   32.who, who引導的限制性定語從句：   33.one，one monday表一個星期天：   34.when，考查由when引導的時間狀語從句：   35.to watch, 考查it is +adj + to do sth.的句型結構，其中to do sth.作真正的主語：   36.the most expensive，從上下文可知，此處是“最昂貴的衣服之一”：   37.as，as+adj原級十as possible 是固定搭配，“盡可能地……；”   38.without.without paying指沒有付錢；   39.was caught. 考查動詞的被動語態結構，“被抓”：   40.a，once a week指每星期一次. 3閱讀理解 閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的a、b、c和d項中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。 詞數：269完成時間：6分鐘難度：    washington/new york-us president bush said on monday that he wanted osama bin laden "dead or alive" for last week's attacks on the world trade center and the pentagon, but many of washington's allies are cool on strikes against afghanistan.    bush has named saudi-born militant osama bin laden as a prime suspect, though he has provided no evidence for his claim. still, he had been building public support for military action and has warned afghanistan's taliban to give up bin laden.    but the taliban, which has warned of "holy war" in response to any us attack, by tuesday afternoon had given no indication of whether the man they call their "guest" would be handed over.    on, an unprecedented "day of terror", two planes smashed into new york's world trade center twin towers on september ll, putting them into ruins while explosions rocked the pentagon in washington, and the white house and state department were evacuated (疏散). the attacks have left more than 5, 000 people dead or missing.    china has said it is ready to join international efforts in fighting "terrorism" but insisted that peace, not war, is the best option (選項).    in london, blair declared it a "war between the civilized world and fanaticism" and determined to stand by anally which aided britain in two world wars. france, germany and other, including russia, are also supportive.
