　　1.B　前面一個分句和后一個分句所表達(dá)的事件為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,應(yīng)用but連接并列句。

　　2.A　前文所描述的場景是一個男孩沒有穿外套,在零下10的冬天瑟瑟發(fā)抖,這一場景當(dāng)然是“令人悲傷的(heartbreaking)”。

　　3.C　此處所填詞應(yīng)和空處前面的joyous并列形容路人的行為,happy和joyous意義重復(fù),moved表示“感動的”,不符合語意,故選inspiring“使人深受鼓舞的”。另外,下面敘述的路人的表現(xiàn)也提供了解題的依據(jù)。

　　4.C　這個年輕女子注意到那個男孩在搓著胳膊,故她坐的位置應(yīng)該“靠近(next to)”男孩。

　　5.B　女士注意到了男孩在搓著胳膊,“立刻(immediately)”詢問他是否有夾克。

　　6.D　通過詢問,女士“發(fā)現(xiàn)(discovered)”了那男孩在去學(xué)校的路上……

　　7.A　由第6個題空后面的he was on a school trip及下文可知,這個男孩是一名學(xué)生。

　　8.A　女士把自己的外套披在男孩的肩上,故她的行為是“無私的(selflessly)”。

　　9.D　年齡較大的女子的厚夾克應(yīng)該是“大的(large)”,這從wound(纏繞)可得到暗示。

　　10.B　許多人都為男孩提供了衣服、手套之類的,衣服要提供給男孩子,自然需要脫下(off)。

　　11.D　所有這一切都被一架隱藏的照相機“拍攝(film)”下來。

　　12.A　偷偷拍攝是Norwegian charity SOS Children’s Village這一組織進(jìn)行的冬季“運動(campaign)”。

　　13.B　這項運動旨在收集捐贈物,送出急需的外套和毯子,來幫助敘利亞兒童“度過(get through)”冬季。

　　14.B　由have left their homes提供的暗示可知,此處應(yīng)用sufferers 表示戰(zhàn)爭的“受害者”。

　　15.B　由人們對這一個男孩的幫助擴展到敘利亞的所有孩子,人們應(yīng)該“關(guān)愛(care about)”他們。

　　16.D　由下文told the local newspaper可知此人負(fù)責(zé)和媒體溝通,她應(yīng)該屬于“信息(information)”部門。

　　17.C　后面的內(nèi)容是她所“說明(note)”的其他內(nèi)容。

　　18.D　由后面的during the experiment可知,這個男孩是一個“志愿者(volunteer)”。

　　19.A　根據(jù)前面這個例子的說明,作者認(rèn)為人類的天性是“有柔情的(soft)”,具有同情心的。

　　20.A　正因人類有同情心,所以人類的未來“有望(promise)”成為有希望的未來。

　　B

　　5.D　由第二段第三句中的“Reeve and I would eat the red colored peppers”可知,兩個孩子想知道是不是里夫能夠比作者吃更多的辣椒。答案為D項。

　　6.B　由第二段第三句中的“Marcus and Ellen would eat the green colored peppers”可知,作者和里夫同意了孩子們的提議,但是條件是兩個孩子也要參加。答案為B項,意思是“參加,加入”。A項“品嘗,嘗起來”;C項“致力于,做貢獻(xiàn)”;D項“分享,分擔(dān)”。

　　16.A　根據(jù)后文可知,作者將孩子們要吃的辣椒切成兩半,并把辣椒籽去掉,這樣對孩子們來說比賽就變得不那么困難了。答案為A項。

　　17.A　根據(jù)第16題分析可知答案為A項。因為辣椒籽是導(dǎo)致辣椒辣的主要因素。

　　18.B　根據(jù)前面一句“The contest was one of speed rather than quantity.”可知,吃辣椒比的是速度,而不是細(xì)嚼慢咽,所以兩個孩子都急于開始比賽。答案為B項,be eager to do sth.“急于/渴望做某事”。A項“緊張的”;C項“心甘情愿的”;D項“高興的”。
