答案
解析
26. B前文说她邀请了一些亲戚朋友到公寓里聚会。此处表示:在这些客人中。
27. A因家里有钱以及下文的“习惯于我行我素”可知他们的小女儿被宠得非常娇气,脾气很蛮横。Spoil表示“宠坏,溺爱”。
28.D这里表示祖母认为他们是最重要的客人,极力讨好他们。
29. A晚会进行中,我走进了洗手间并随手把门关上。这里用make one’s way to表示向…走去。而其他动词的含义不符合语境:B找到去…的路,C挤出一条路,D蜿蜒前进。
30. B由and simply walked in可知那个小女孩推开洗手间的门进来了。
31. C从语境可知这里用be supposed to表示should理应做……;应该做……。句意为:“难道你不知道当一个男孩在使用洗手间的时候女孩子是不可以进来的吗!?
32. D从上文内容可知作者这个时候很生气。
33. A本题用动词complain表示“投诉”,历来我行我素的女孩出来没有被人这么呵斥过,她哭着向她的父母和我奶奶告状。
34. B当我从洗手间出来,祖母劈头盖脸地把我骂了一通。
35. C等她骂完叫我滚开之后,晚会继续进行。这里用carry on表示“继续”。
36. D从下文可知祖母发现有水从洗手间的门缝里涌出来。
37. A撞开洗手间的门,发现洗手盆和浴缸都被塞子塞住了。
38. B这里用过去进行时表示祖母进去的时候看见水正水正哗啦啦地直流。
39.C每个人都知道是谁搞的鬼,愤怒的祖母使劲地挥舞着双手要打我,客人们马上在我周围形成了一堵人墙保护我。这里用protective表示“保护性的”。
40. A此处是so…that 句型,表示“如此愤怒,(尽管有人墙保护)差点打了我”。
41. B祖父牵着我的手来到窗前。表示牵着/抓着某人的手用介词by +the +身体某部位。此处的the 不能用his, her, my代替。其他选项与句子意义不符。
42. D上文说祖父很温和,因此他很少提高嗓门和别人说话。从句子结构(倒装)和语境看,只有D项符合语境。
43. A他也从来没有和祖母吵架。
44. C由下文意义可知祖父的反映是:没有半点生气或烦恼的样子。从搭配看B项不对。
45. B此处表示“祖母她先无缘无故地骂了我一顿”,这回我故意捣乱之后让她骂就有理由了。

举一反三
Our row house was on a tree-lined street just blocks from the building that was the heart of the federal legislative branch. When I was a child, in the 1940s, friends and I would pack a lunch or ride a streetcar to the Capitol. If we roller-skated, we hid the skates in the bushes in the park across the street before entering the building.
I knew every corner of the Capitol. We’d play hide-and-seek and pretend we saw ghosts in the halls and stairways. I don’t know how we got away with it. I remember the beautiful ladies’ rooms, with their marble floors and sinks. I pretended that I was a fine lady in them.
In those days, you could walk around the Capitol dome(圆顶屋), which was a little scary for me. I loved the wonderful paintings and statues and the subway rides to the Senate Office Building. It was like an amusement ride. I even used to sit in the gallery of the U.S. House of Representatives—until I became bored with all the talk and went on another adventure.
Whenever I ran up the steps to the huge bronze doors of the Rotunda, I would look back to the world below like a hero. As soon as the doors were opened, the sense of history surrounded me, and I knew it was someplace special.
Those were lucky days, when an American citizen could wander in the Capitol and be a part of history.
Once war was declared, some things changed in the nation’s capital. Because of concerns thatWashington might be attacked, as London had been, everyone prepared. Kids at my elementary school wore dog tags, and each of us was fingerprinted.
My father, a pipe worker, became a civil defense warden(民防队员). During an air-raid(空袭), his job was to turn off any leaking gas. Since he always had a cigarette in his mouth, maybe that was not a good choice, but he had a gas mask and flashlight hanging in the rafters of our basement. The mask looked like a monster in the ceiling. My 15-year-old brother was a junior civil defense warden. During air-raid drills, he knocked on doors and asked people to put out their lights. I remember huge searchlights that crisscrossed the skies during the drills, looking for enemy planes.

To find this out, 1,500 gifted persons were followed up to their thirty-fifth years with these results:
On adult intelligence tests, they scored as high as they did as children. They were, as a group, in good health, physically and mentally. Eighty-four percent of their group were married and seemed content with their life.
About 70 percent had graduated from colleges, though only 30 percent had graduated with honors. A few had even flunked out (退学), but nearly half of these had returned to graduate.
Of the men, 80 percent were in one of the professions or in business, managerial or semiprofessional jobs. The women who had remained single had offices, business, or professional occupations.
The group had published 90 books and 1,500 articles in scientific, scholarly, and literary magazines and had collected more than 100 patents.
In a material way they didn’t do badly either. Average income was considerably higher among the gifted people, especially the men, than for the country as a whole, despite their comparative youth when last surveyed.
In fact, far from being strange, maladjusted (难以适应) people locked in an ivory tower, most of the gifted were turning their early promises into practical reality.
小题1:The main idea of the passage is __________.
A.that gifted adults can be as intelligent as when they were young |
B.that bright children are unlikely to be physically and mentally healthy |
C.that gifted children are most likely to become bright grown-ups |
D.that when the bright children grow up, they become ordinary |
A.most of the gifted children became white-collar workers |
B.half of the gifted followed up graduated from colleges |
C.each of the talented published at least one article |
D.successful men got higher income than successful women |
A.The gifted could not be fit for their social positions. |
B.Most of the bright and successful women remained single. |
C.The gifted men got full marks on intelligence tests. |
D.Most of the gifted appeared satisfied with their life. |
A.earning their living and keeping promises |
B.doing practical jobs and facing reality |
C.doing what they have promised |
D.realizing what they were expected |
