1.Millions of people pass through the gates of the Disney parks in California, Florida and Japan each year. What makes these places an almost universal attraction? What makes foreign kings and queens and other important people want to visit these Disney parks? Well, one reason is the way to serve their “guests”.All new employees, from vice-presidents to part-time workers, begin their employment by attending Disney University and taking “Traditions I”. Here, they learn about the company's history, how it is managed and why it is successful. They are shown how each department relates to the whole. All employees are shown how their part is important in making the park a success.After passing “Traditions”, the employees go on to more specialized training for their specific ( 具体的 ) jobs. No detail is missed. A simple job like taking tickets requires eight-hour days of training. When one ticket taker was asked why it took so much training for such a simple, ordinary job, he replied, “What happens if someone wants to know where the rest rooms are, when the parade starts or what bus to take back to the campgrounds? ... We need to know the answers or where to get them quickly. Our constant aim is to help our guests enjoy themselves.Even Disney's managers get involved in the daily management of the park. Every year, the managers leave their desks and business suits and put on special service clothes. For a full week, the bosses sell hot dogs or ice cream, take tickets or drive the monorail, and take up any of the 100 jobs that make the park come alive. The managers agree that this week helps them to see the company’s goals more clearly.All these efforts to serve the public well have made Walt Disney famous.

    _________(51)
    A:pushed

    C:fetched
    D:brought

    答案:B
    解析:
    push意为“推”, attract意为“吸引”, fetch意为“抵达”, bring意为“带来”。 attract与介词to搭配意为“被······吸引”。该句的意思是“在科技空前发展的时代,很多人对回首往事沉迷不已”,因此选择B项。
    lay out意为“布置,设计”,make out意为“理解,辫认出”;put out意为“熄灭,出版”;find out意为“发现”。本句是说“人们试图探查更多的历史”,因此选择D项。
    fairly意为“相当地,公平地”, greatly意为“巨大地,伟大地”, mostly意为 “大多地,主要地”, widely意为“宽广地”。本句含义是“这已经成为一种迅速增长的业余爱好,特别是在历史相当短的国家,如澳大利亚和美国”。因此选项A是正确的。
    It is one thing ..., it is quite another thing ..“一方面······,另一方面······”是固定搭配。该句意思是“花费时间去查阅一本有关家族史的书,并去探究家族的过去是一方面”,因此选择B项。
    see through意为“看穿”, move through意为“穿过”, live through意为“度过,经受住”,go through意为“经受,仔细检查”。选择C项。
    idea意为“观点”, plan意为“计划”, purpose意为“目的”, decision意为 “决定”。选择D项。
    It is one thing..., it is quite another thing… 是固定搭配,含义是“一方面······,另一方面······”。本句意思是“成功地实施这项研究工作却是另一方面”,选择A项。
    本句考的是与problem搭配的动词,本句意思是“杂乱无序地开始很容易,如果开始有一点计划,就能避免引起很多麻烦”,cause problem是固定搭配,意思是“引起问题”,因此选择B项。
    miss意为“错过”,lost是lose过去式意为“失去”,avoid意为“避免”,escape意为“逃跑”。选择C项。
    connect与with搭配意为“与······有关系”,join with意为“加入”;attach 与to搭配意为“依附,加入”;related与to搭配意为“与······有关系”。本句是说“如果你家族的故事写着你与某个名人有着一定的关系”,因此应该选择A项。
    treat意为“对待”,control意为“控制”,contact意为“联系,接触”,direct意为“指引”。该句意思是“把它当成一个有趣的可能事件对待再好不过”,因此选项A最合适。
    本句的意思是“用一个简单的系统来搜集和存储信息足以让你有个好的开头”。 with意为“随着,支持,和······在一起”;by意为“通过,依据,经由”;for意为“为了”; through意为“通过,穿过”。
    track意为“痕迹,踪迹”,path意为“小径”,road意为“道路”,way意为“途径,方式”。该句意思是“越复杂的方式可能只会扰乱你的方寸”,因此选项D符合题意。
    get started是固定搭配,意为“开始”。本句意思是“行动起来是最重要的”,因此选项A最合适。
    本句考查的是情态动词,should意为“应该”,might在疑问句中表示“可能会”,ought和to搭配意为“应该”,must意为“必须,可能”,当“可能”讲时不常在疑问句中使用。该句是说“谁知道你会发现什么呢”。因此选择B项。

    54._________
    A: naughty
    B: natural
    C: national
    D: native

    答案:D
    解析:
    空格后的“the mysterious New World became for many people a genuine hope”(这个神秘的新世界成了很多人的真正希望),应发生在“Europeans‘discovered' America in the fifteenth century”(欧洲人在巧世纪发现了美洲)之后。故选B。


    结合上下文可知,这里指的是逃离贫穷(poverty)和压迫。happiness幸福;prosperity 繁荣;wealth财富。故选D。


    空格前一句“We can say that, as nation, America begins with that hope.”(我们可以认为,美国是随着对新生活的美好希望开始的。)与“When does American literature be-gin?”(美国文学是什么时候开始的)是转折关系。but但是,表转折,后面不用逗号; however但是,表转折,后面需用逗号;and和,与,表并列;so所以,表原因。故选B。


    这里指的是北美土著居民。native本地人,本地的;naughty淘气的;natural自然的; national全国性的。故选D。

    这里是指另一种经历。other另外的;the other两者中的另一个;other、其他的人或物;均不符合题意和用法,只有another适合。故选A。


    这里是指哥伦布及其他探险家送回家乡的用西班牙语、法语和英语写成的报告。give给;bring带来;take带走;均不符合题意和用法,只有sent适合。故选B。

    这些艰辛且令人心碎的经历是早期的经历。early早期的;later后来的;final最后的; late迟到的。故选A。


    空格所在分句的意思是这个新世界提供了各种各样的经历。improve提升,提高;promote促进,推进;develop发展,开发;provided提供。故选D。


    空格所在分句的意思是这些经历要求很多美国早期文学家用各种各样的方式来描述。destroy摧毁; demanded要求;disrupt扰乱;dispute辩论,争论。故选B。


    空格所在句是一个非限制性定语从句,先行词John Smith为人,故需用wh。来引导。故选D。


    think of… as…意思是“认为……是……”,是固定词组,用在这里是指认为自己是:大英帝国的臣民。故选C


    这里考查的是非谓语动词,“他们”与“怀疑”的动作是主动关系,故用、uspecting,表伴随。故选B。


    他们都是早期美国文学的创造者。creators创造者;conductor指挥;contributor贡献者; conqueror征服者,占领者。故选A。

    1._________
    A:pushed
    B:attracted
    C:fetched
    D:brought

    答案:B
    解析:
    根据上下文,句意为“人们被追溯往事所吸引”。A项push与介词to搭配意为“推向”;C项fetch做不及物动词为“取得,拿到”;D项brought与介词to搭配意为“恢复知觉”;而B项attracted与介词to搭配意为“被……吸引”,故选B。
    根据句意“人们试图查明更多的历史”,此处动词应有“查找,查明”之意。A 项lay out“布置,设计”,B项make out“理解,辫认出”;C项put out“熄灭,出版”,均与句意不符;D项find out有“找出,查明”之意。故选D。
    本题考查副词。其中B项greatly意为“很,大大地”;C项mostly意为“主要地,通常”;D项widely意为“广泛地”。本句意为“……特别是那些有相当短历史的国家 ……”,根据句意只有A选项fairly有“相当”的意思,符合句意,故选A。
    考查固定搭配。It is one thing..., it is quite another thing…“一方面……,另一方面……”,故选B。
    考查介词搭配。A项see与through搭配意为“看穿,识破”;B项move与介词through搭配意为“穿过”;D项live与through搭配意为“度过,经受住”。根据句意“……花费时间去仔细查阅一本书……”只有C选项go through“经受,仔细检查”符合句意,故选C。
    句意为“并促使你决心去探究家族的过去”。A项idea“主意,概念” B项plan“计划”;只有D项有“下决心”之意。take the decision to do是短语,意为“下定决心做某事”。故选D。
    本题考查固定搭配。It is one thing..., it is quite another thing...“一方面……,另一方面……”。故选A。
    句意为“但如果开始有一点点计划,就能避免引起那么多麻烦。”此处应选择与problem相搭配有“引起”之意的动词。A项produce“制造”;C项build“建筑”;D项create“创造,创作”;B项cause“引起,使发生,导致,招致”,经常与troubles, problems, disasters搭配使用。故选择B。
    句意为“但如果开始有一点点计划,就能避免引起那么多麻烦”,此处应填有避免之意的动词。A项miss“漏掉,错过”;B项lost“遗失,失败”;D项escaped“逃脱,避开”; 而C项avoid意为“避免,避开,躲避”,与句意相符。故选C。
    句意为“如果你家族的故事写着你与某个名人有着一定的关系”,而选项B join with意为“加入”;选项C attach (to)为“依附,加入”;选项D be related to=be connect-ed with,“与……有关系”;只有选项A connect可与with搭配,意为“与……有关系”。故选A。
    此句意为“把它当成一个有趣的可能事件再好不过。”B项control“控制,管理”;C项contact“使接触”;D项direct“管理,指挥,导演”;而A项treat可与介词as搭配,意为“把……当做……”,与句意相符。故选A。
    考查介词。此句句意为“用一个简单的系统来收集和存储信息”,A项with “随着,支持,和…在一起”;B项by“通过,依据,经由”;D项through“通过,穿过,凭借”,C项 for“为了,为,适合于”符合句意,故选C。
    此句意为“……越复杂的方式可能只会扰乱你的方寸”,A项track“轨道,总计,小道”;B项path“道路”;C项road“公路,马路”;D项way“方法,方向”,get in your way是固定格配,意思是“阻档你的道路”。故选D。
    get started,固定搭配,意为“开始,被启动”。故选A。
    考查情态动词的用法。此句意为“但谁知道你会发现什么呢?” C项ought 有应当之意,而D项must引导一般疑问句,表示“必须做某事”,与句意不符。此句是对未来的可能性的一种反问,所以B选项might符合句意。故选B。
