答案
解析
本文主要讲述 Ed 的身材变化及他和“我”之间的一场结果出乎意料的网球比赛。(from
1. C。根据下文描述的比赛过程和结果可知此题选 C 最佳。
2. D。根据语境和 we play 中的动词时态可知,此题应填 D,因为动词 suggest(建议)后的宾语从句通常用“should+动词原形”(should可省略)。
3. C。根据前句说的 I laughed quietly,可推知这应该“是一场很容易(easy)打赢的比赛”。
4. A。比较四个选项,只有 exercise 与比赛、锻炼之类的活动有点联系。
5. D。此处的语境是(注意作者对 Ed 在体力方面的轻视):Ed 关于 exercise 的想法只不过就像把叉子送到嘴里一样不费力。effort-making 由 make an effort 变来,其意为“费劲”;nothing more than 是习语,意为“不多于”、“与…一样”。
6. B。as long as 有两个意思是:一是作为习语,表示“只要”;二是表示作为自由短语,意为“与…一样长或一样久”。此处的as long as 用作自由短语,as long as I can remember 意为“与我能记忆的一样久”,即“在我的记忆中”或“凭我的记忆”。
7. A。虽然 Ed 体力状况在一家人中最差,但却莫名其妙(strangely)地为自己感到骄傲。
8. D。由于 Ed 太胖,他的肚子就像一只气球,所以家人经常就此开他的玩笑(joke about that)。
9. B。上文讲到 His big stomach has always ballooned out between his T-shirt and trousers(他的大肚子总是像一只气球一样突出在汗衫与长裤之间),这说明他的 T-shirt 不够大。
10. C。Ed 身材的变化应是在他到来(arrived)之际才能发现。
11. A。此句主要是描述 Ed 身材的变化之大:他的衬衣扎在裤子里,肚子几乎让人看不出来(a stomach you could hardly notice)。
12. D。这里指 Ed 身材变化如此之大,简直令作者惊讶得说不出话来(speechless)。
13. B。因后面的内容讲的正是 Ed 因改变体形而在比赛中曾一度领先的结果,故选 as a result。
14. C。作者原认为会9:1自己领先,而结果却是7:9,故用 instead 表示后者取代了前者。
15. A。下文说 The sudden realization was painful,说明比赛的结果不是像作者的那样自己领先,而是 Ed 领先。
16. C。前面讲比分为 7 to 9,而后面又说比分达到16平,这说明比赛在继续(continued)。
17. B。此处的语境是:当比分达到16平时,我便怀疑自己能否活到21岁——这充分说明比赛的激烈程度以及作者的疲惫程度。
18. A。let alone scoring that many points 的意思“更不用说还要得那么多分”,其中的 that 为副词,相当于 so。
19. D。上文说“当比赛结束的时候,我们俩人平躺在地上”,同时比较四个选项,只有 move 最合语境,即“累得动都不能动”。
20. B。这两句为省略句,其完整形式为:I won the game, but cousin Ed won my respect.

Consider the case of Kimberly Mulcahy. Throughout her career, Mulcahy has actively volunteered in her community, profession and industry. Though she put in long hours as Vice President at a Fortune 500 company, she also found time to professional and community organizations.
Then last year, the unexpected thing happened. The company where she’d worked for more than 20 years was bought out and she was laid off.
On hearing the news, those who she served were quick not only to offer her support—but actual jobs! In the end, Mulcahy was hired by a PR agency—she used to work as a director of her industry association. And she brought with her several accounts based on relationships she had formed through volunteering.
Volunteering was a godsend(天赐之物)to Todd, who has been a mid-level manager at the same company for many years. After he was out of work, he felt old and disappointed. But Todd knew he needed a change. Todd became involved in community service. He joined his town’s volunteer fire department and was soon appointed to the finance committee.
Sometimes volunteering helps you bring passion to your work, other times it can turn your life’s passion into your work. Cape Cod Baseball League President Judy Scarafile is a registered pharmacist(药剂师)whose love of the game led her to volunteered as league publicist(宣传员), secretary and deputy commissioner woman to hold the top post.
Whether you are to enter the workforce, build your resume, or follow your passion, volunteering is good for the soul and the career.

His ignorance was as remarkable as his knowledge. Of contemporary literature, philosophy and politics he appeared to know next to nothing. Upon my quoting Thomas Carlyle, he inquired in the naivest(天真的;幼稚的)way who he might be and what he had done. My surprise reached a climax, however, when I found incidentally that he was ignorant of the Copernican Theory and of the composition of the Solar system.
“You appear to be astonished, ” Holmes said, smiling at my expression. “Now that I do know it I shall do my best to forget it. You see, I consider that a man’s brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose: A fool takes in all the lumber of every sort that he comes across, so that the knowledge which might be useful to him gets crowded out, or at best jumbled up with a lot of other things, so that he has difficulty in laying his hand upon it. It is a mistake to think that the little room has elastic walls and can distend to any extent. Depend upon it, there comes a time when for every addition of knowledge you forget something that you know before. It is of the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful ones.”
“But the Solar System! ” I protested.
“What the deuce is it to me?” he interrupted impatiently.
One morning, I picked up a magazine from the table and attempted to while away the time with it, while my companion munched silently at his toast. One of the articles had a pencil mark at the heading, and I naturally began to run my eye through it.
Its somewhat ambitious title was “The Book of Life, ” and it attempted to show how much an observant man might learn by an accurate and systematic examination of all that came in his way. It struck me as being a remarkable mixture of shrewdness and of absurdity. The reasoning was close and intense, but the deduction appeared to me to be far-fetched and exaggerated. The writer claimed by a momentary expression, a twitch of a muscle or a glance of an eye, to fathom a man’s inmost thought. Deceit, according to him, was impossibility in the case of one trained to observation and analysis. His conclusions were as infallible as so many propositions of Euclid. So startling would his results appear to the uninitiated that until they learned the processes by which he had arrived at them they might well consider him as a necromancer.
“From a drop of water, ”said the writer, “a logician could infer the possibility of an Atlantic. So all life is a great chain, the nature of which is known whenever we are shown a single link of it. Like all other arts, the science of Deduction and Analysis is one which can be acquired by long and patient study, nor is life long enough to allow any mortal to attain the highest possible perfection in it. ”
This smartly written piece of theory I could not accept until a succession of evidences justified it.

小题2:What way did the author take to stick out Holmes’ uniqueness?

小题4:What did the article mentioned in the passage talk about?
A One may master the way of reasoning through observation.
B One may become rather critical through observation and analysis.
C One may become rather sharp through observation and analysis.
D One may become practical through observation and analysis.
A huge rescue operation involving RAF helicopters and dozens of ambulances arrive. After passengers were trapped in the train for more than four hours because fallen power line poles made access for emergency workers difficult.
Authorities reported up to 80 injuries. Thirteen people were taken to hospital in a“critical or serious condition.”
Between 180 and 200 passengers were on the 5:15pm Virgin service from London Euston to Glasgow Central when all nine carriages left the rails between Oxenholme and Tebay. Witnesses said that the train shook violently before toppling(倾斜) over into an embankment(筑堤)with at least four carriages overturning. Early this morning, authorities confirmed an elderly woman had died and some other passengers had suffered injuries including back strains, head wounds and broken bones.
Ruth Colton, a passenger on the train, said she was reading a book when the journey became uncomfortable. It seemed that the train was being beaten by heavy winds,“as if we were on a plane”.
The accident brought concerns that Britain"s busiest rail route would be crippled(瘫痪)for some time. The line between Preston and Carlisle was postponed as Virgin Trains promised a rapid investigation into the “serious incident”—the company"s first big crash.

Erik became an adventurer. He took up parachuting, wrestling and scuba diving. He competed in long-distance biking, marathons and skiing. His favorite sport, thought, is mountaineering.
As a young man, Erik started to climb mountains. He reached the summit of Mount McKinley in 1995 and then climbed the dangerous 1000-metre rock wall of EI Capitan. Two years later, while climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Kenya with his girlfriend, they stopped for a time at 13,000 feet above sea level-in order to get married. In 1999, he climbed Aconcagua, the tallest mountain in South America. And then , on May 25, 2001, at the age of 33, Erik successfully completed the greatest mountaineering challenge of all. He climbed Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world.
Erik invented his own method for climbing mountains. He carries two long poles: one to lean on and the other to test the way ahead of him. The climber in front of him wears a bell to guide him. Erik is a good team member. He does his share of the job, such as setting up tents and building snow walls.
Although he could not enjoy the view, Erik felt the excitement of being on the summit of Everest. He hopes that his success will change how people think about the blind. “When people think about a blind person or blindness, now they will think about a person standing on top of the world.”
