4.Zigfried,a little mouse,blew his breath on the frosty window of the farmhouse and rubbed it to see the outside.Still nobody came.Maybe today,he thought (31)hopefully.It was only a few days before Christmas and he was watching for a miracle (奇跡).
  This farmhouse had been(32)noisy   too long.It needed a family.Zigfried's(33)stomachmade a noise.He realized that he hadn't eaten anything since yesterday.He jumped from the windowsill (窗沿),grabbed a (34)bag   from his home,and went next door to Farmer Mike's.
  Farmer Mike's house had been a great place for the little mouse  (35)until   the farmer married a wife who had a cat.Zigfried (36)trembled   when he thought of it.He looked around cautiously as he (37)stole   into the room where grain was stored and was quite  (38)nervous   as he filled his bag with wheat.He was turning to leave when suddenly he  (39)felt   a hot breath about his ear.His heart beat (40)wildly,and without thinking he started to run and luckily (41)escaped   the cat's paws (爪子).
  The next afternoon Zigfried heard some good news:a (42)new   family would be moving into the farmhouse soon.Zigfried's granny would arrive on Christmas Eve to
(43)celebrate   with him.He hoped that the family would come before his granny came.Before long,a car came (44)up   the road leading to the house,with butter sandwiches,cheese and chocolate.
  Zigfried's Christmas miracle did arrive!
  The house came(45)alive the next few days.Zigfried(46)enjoyed   every single hour of them. (47)However,the day before Christmas when he was drinking hot chocolate with a (48)satisfied   smile at the door of his home,he heard the (49)discussion   of the children of the family about what they might get for Christmas.What?A cat?The (50)smile   froze on his face; his mouth fell wide open.After a long while,he at last found his voice:"Hey!Whose Christmas miracle is this?"

分析 本文是一篇記敘文,一個幽默詼諧的小故事:小老鼠Zigfried住在一座空蕩蕩的農(nóng)舍,沒吃沒喝.圣誕節(jié)快到了,這座房子搬來了新主人,Zigfried過上了富足的生活.可惜好景不長,圣誕節(jié)這家的孩子就會有一只貓陪伴他們了.那么,Zigfried這個圣誕節(jié)會過得怎么樣呢?可想而知了.通過本文作者旨在說明人在得意安逸的時候,不能忘本,要有憂患意識.

解答 31.C    考查副詞辨析.從語境的敘述看,這只小老鼠在窗戶上哈氣,然后把窗戶擦亮,它滿懷希望地想,或許今天會有人來.這里用hopefully指它的一種心情.其中關鍵詞maybe(或許,有可能)說明對奇跡是否在今天出現(xiàn)不能十分肯定,只是"有希望".B項excitedly(激動地,興奮地)在這里描述小老鼠的心情是不合適的.
32.D   考查形容詞辨析.根據(jù)下文說"這座農(nóng)舍需要有一家人住下"可知,這里表示這座農(nóng)舍空蕩蕩的,沒有人。虼诉xD項.
33.C   考查名詞辨析.根據(jù)下文"它意識到自己從昨天起就沒有吃東西了"由常識可知,餓的時候是"肚子"叫,而不是"嘴巴""鼻子"或者"喉嚨"因此選C項.
34.A   考查名詞辨析.句意:它從自己的窩里拿起一個袋子就跑到隔壁的農(nóng)民邁克家去了.根據(jù)下文第三段第38空所在句說它把口袋裝滿了小麥可知,這是很重要的提示.因此選A.
35.B   考查連詞辨析.根據(jù)語境可知,用until表示"直到"邁克家一直是這只小老鼠的天堂,直到邁克娶了妻子,而他的妻子帶來了一只貓.貓是老鼠的天敵,貓來了對老鼠來說并不是一件好事,也就是說老鼠的好日子到頭了.因此選B項.
36.C   考查動詞辨析.根據(jù)常識可知,老鼠害怕貓.所以一想到他家的那只貓,Zigfried就(害怕得)渾身發(fā)抖.因此選C.
37.D   考查動詞辨析.根據(jù)語境可知,這里用steal(into)描述小老鼠小心翼翼的神態(tài)和動作:它一邊謹慎地向四周看,一邊躡手躡腳地溜進存放谷物的房間.其中cautiously(小心翼翼地)是解題的關鍵點.因此選D.
38.B   考查形容詞辨析.由前面提到,因為害怕那只貓,它很小心可知,因此在往袋子里裝糧食的時候"很緊張".nervous形象地描述了老鼠當時害怕的心理.因此選B.
39.C   考查動詞辨析.根據(jù)語境可知,就在老鼠轉身準備離開的時候,它感覺到耳旁有呼出的熱氣.這里用feel表示"感覺"到外來的呼吸.因此選C.
40.D   考查副詞辨析.根據(jù)語境可知,老鼠知道形勢不妙,貓來了,就在它旁邊,面對危機,老鼠的心怦怦亂跳.one's heart beat wildly"心怦怦亂跳"因此選D.
41.A   考查動詞辨析.根據(jù)句中關鍵詞"luckily"可知,這是解題的提示.老鼠趕緊逃竄,幸運地躲過了那只貓的抓捕.因此選A.
42.C   考查形容詞辨析.由上文提到,這座農(nóng)舍很長時間空蕩蕩的,沒有人居住,既然是要搬來人家,那么應該是"新來的".因此選C.
43.A  文章提到圣誕節(jié),那么應該是celebrate"慶祝",因此選A項.語境表示奶奶要來跟它一起慶祝這個圣誕節(jié).
44.D  考查動詞辨析.句意:不久,一輛汽車沿著通向這座房子的路駛來,載著黃油三明治、奶酪和巧克力.根據(jù)句意可知,這里用介詞up描述動作由遠及近的方向,come up the road沿著這條路駛來.因此選D.
45.A  考查形容詞辨析.根據(jù)語境可知,這座農(nóng)舍因為有人的搬入,有了人氣,開始充滿活力,表示"有生氣,有活力".其他各項不符合語境.因此選A.
46.B  考查動詞辨析.根據(jù)語境可知,句中的them指前面提到的days,有人搬進來了,接下來的幾天里,房子里面又開始活躍起來了,Zigfried盡情享受著每時每刻.用enjoy表示"喜歡,享受".因此選B.
47.A  考查副詞辨析.由下文"What?A cat?"可知,孩子們是討論圣誕節(jié)用貓做禮物的信息,老鼠的好日子到頭了,故用轉折副詞however,表示"可是,然而".因此選A.
48.D  考查形容詞辨析.根據(jù)語境可知,這家原先沒人居住,老鼠總是挨餓,而現(xiàn)在,它在自家門口喝著熱巧克力,當然是覺得很滿足了.a(chǎn) satisfied smile"滿足的笑容".因此選D.49.B   考查名詞辨析.根據(jù)語境可知,這里用discussion指這些孩子七嘴八舌地在討論他們圣誕節(jié)會得到什么禮物.因此選B.
50.B   考查名詞辨析.根據(jù)第48空的smile可知,這里用smile與第48空的smile呼應.聽說這家的孩子圣誕節(jié)就會有只貓了,老鼠Zigfried臉上原本滿意的笑容一下子僵住了.因此選B.

點評 解答此類題目可遵循以下步驟:第一步,通讀全文,了解文章大意,獲得整體印象,同時初選出一批較有把握的答案.第二步,邊核對初選答案邊補填留下的空格.如果短文難度較大,則可復讀幾遍,核對和確定答案.有些空一時決定不了,可作個記號,待復查時再確定. 第三步,復查定稿.從整體理解角度出發(fā),仔細審核答案,確保意義上、語法上沒有錯誤,同時對遺留下來的少數(shù)幾個空格作最后選擇.

13.Rae Armantrout,who has been a poetry professor at the University of California San Diego(UCSD) for two decades,has won the 2010Pulitzer Prize in the poetry category for her most recent book,"Versed".
"I'm delighted and amazed at how much media recognition that the Pulitzer brings,as compared to even the National Book Critics Award,which I was also surprised and delighted to win,"said Armantrout.
"For a long time,my writing has been just below the media radar,and to have this kind of attention,suddenly,with my 10th book,is really surprising."
  Armantrout,a native Californian,received her bachelor's degree at UC Berkeley,where she studied with noted poet Denise Levertov,and her master's in creative writing from San Francisco State University.She is a founding member of Language Poets,a group in American poetry that analyzes the way language is used and raises questions to make the reader think.
  In March,she won the National Book Critics Circle Award for"Versed."
"This book has gotten more attention,"Armantrout said,"but I don't feel as if it's better."
  The first half of"Versed"focuses on the dark forces taking hold of the United States as it fought the war against Iraq.The second half looks at the dark forces casting a shadow over her own life after Armantrout was diagnosed with cancer in 2006.
  Armantrout was shocked to learn she had won the Pulitzer but many of her colleagues were not."Rae Armantrout is a unique voice in American poetry,"said Seth Lerer,head of Arts and Humanities at UCSD.
"Versed",published by the Wesleyan University Press,did appear in a larger printing than her earlier works,which is about 2,700copies.The new edition is scheduled to appear in May.

66.According to Rae Armantrout,B.
A.her 10th book is much better
B.her winning the Pulitzer is unexpected
C.the media is surprised at her works

"Mum,can I invite my classmate Brett over to stay tomorrow night,please?It's Friday,and we don't have any(36)homeworkCan I,please?"Mum was sitting at the kitchen table.Dad was(37)asleepnext  to her,resting his head on his arms.Mum could (38)seethat James wanted so badly to have his friend over.
"I'm so sorry,James,"she said.
"I'm never allowed to have friends come to the house?Why,Mum?"James asked sadly,almost in (39)tears.
"I know it's(40)hard for you,"Mum said softly."But I'm just worried other people might think we're a little…strange.And then they would make fun of you."
"No,they wouldn't,Mum,"James protested."We're not(41)strangeat all.We're just ordinary people."
Mum sighed heavily."To tell you the truth,James,my neck has been so painful that it's given me a heavy (42)headache.And your poor father-he doesn't feel (43)well.He really needs a rest."
"I can help,Mum!"James said."(44)If I can make you and Dad feel better,can Brett come over?Please?"
"Well…"Mum began.
"Great!Thanks,Mum!"James almost shouted."Just sit there,don't move."He rushed over to the kitchen drawer and(45)found what he needed-two.com spanners."Hang on,Mum,"he said."This won't take a second."After some   (46)repairs,James was finished.With a smile of (47)satisfaction on his face he said,"There!How does that feel?""Oh,James,"Mum said."That's a much better!How did you do it?"
"Easy,"James said (48)proudly."Dad had tightened your neck bolts (螺栓) too much!I just(49)adjusted  them slightly!I learned that in robotic science at school."
"What  about  your  father?Can you(50)help him?"asked Mum.
"I'll try,"James replied.He(51)lifted up Dad's hair at the back of his neck.a(chǎn)nd plugged the electric wire into Dad's head.Then he turned the(52)poweron.Dad opened his eyes and (53)satup immediately."He just let his (54)batteryrun too low,that's all,"James said,"Shall I tell Brett to come over straight after school tomorrow?"
"I guess so,"replied Mum."Your friends will just have to(55)acceptthat we are a very unusual family.Thanks,son!"
