55、语篇中通过单词的用法来确定单词词义时，他们却只看单个单词的意思，不能准确理解某个单词的意思，从而导致了理解上的困扰。6D生词周围的那些词可以给你提供线索(clues)。7C根据下文without having to stop可知，如果你知道这个生词是名词还是形容词，你就可以继续读下去，不必停下来查找单词词义。continue doing sth.继续做某事。8D在遇到这个单词几次之后，你对它的意思的掌握会比查词典更牢固。9A对比线索暗示两个或多个事物是相似的(alike)。10B认识的和不认识的词之间有相似之处(similarities)，所以就可能存在比较。11C下文Example clue

56、s给出了提示。12D举例线索通常由such as，such，other，for example和like这样的单词或词组引出(introduced)。13D另一种线索并不依靠(rely on)特定的词暗示词义。14B你对周围单词意思的了解有助于你发现一个词或句子的意思。help sb.do sth.帮助某人做某事。15D在定义生词的过程中，常识(common sense)以及你对词性的了解也会有所帮助。16A表示“是什么意思”时，常用句型What does.mean？17A上文The angry driver给出了提示。18C你知道angry是什么意思，并且你知道当人们争吵时，他们是如何表现的

57、。act这里意为“举止，表现”。19B根据这些，你就可以弄清楚(figure out)“vehemently”与强烈的情感有关。20D空后的or intense feeling给出了提示，选项中只有emotion(情感)与feeling的意思接近。221Cunbelievable不相信的；false错误的；different不同的；flexible可变化的。与前文的hard to decide对应，故选C。22Bpredict预计；prove证明；propose提议；doubt怀疑。与前文的claim对应。故选B。23Don the contrary相反；in any case在任何情况下；i

59、animal动物；farm农场。肉、鸡蛋、奶产品肯定来自动物。故选C。28Bsolution解决；access使用权，进入；entrance入口；direction说明，指导。have access to使用，接近，可以利用。故选B。29Dagreement协议；concept概念；expectation期待；evidence证据，证明。没有确定性的证据表明有机食品比传统种植的食物更有营养。故选D。30Apublicly公共地；soon不久；secretly秘密地；anxiously焦急地。publicly declare公开声明。故选A。31Cshape形状；fashion流行；qualit

60、y品质；size大小。与下文的safety standards对应，应是“质量”。故选C。32Alie in在于；consist of由组成；know about了解；puzzle out仔细琢磨。句意为：这种不同在于食品的生产、加工和处理方式。故选A。33Dfinancial金融的；social社交的；cultural文化的；environmental环境的。与前文对应：人们购买有机食品是由于环境原因。与下文的the use of renewable resources对应。故选D。34Bseller售货者；farmer农民；driver司机；buyer购物者。食品的生产由重视再利用资源的农

61、民种植。故选B。35Cfresh新鲜的；delicious味道鲜美的；traditional传统的；new新的。此处是有机食品和传统食品不同。故选C。36Apractice练习，实践；tool工具；chemical化学药品；machine机器。farm practice农场劳动。故选A。37Csurprise使吃惊；laugh嘲笑；aim瞄准，把定为目标；delight使高兴。be aimed to doing sth.以为目标，旨在。故选C。38Dactive活跃的；potential潜在的；wrong错误的；sensible理性的。make a sensible choice做出理性选择。

63、可知答案。46A由上下文语境可知此处表示“有天赋的人挣的钱少得可怜”。47C此处表示“很多人经济拮据”。48B此处表示“他们离财富只差一项技能”。此处借用了表示距离的句型，即be距离away from.离有多远。49A俗话说“上班比破产强一点儿”。不幸的是，我认为这种说法适用于很多人。apply to对适用；agree with同意；turn to求助于；meet with偶遇。50C根据后两段的内容可知，此处作者指出了当前教育的弊端，即学校认为理财的智慧不是智慧。51D作者建议年轻人找工作时要看能学到什么技能而不是看能挣多少钱。52B根据下文中的a better hamburger可知本题答

64、案为better。53A老师提问时，学生要举手回答，故答案为hands。54D本空表示“能力”，故答案为can。55A根据上句学生回答问题的表现可推知本题答案为obvious。56B根据下文中business systems可知答案。57C作者指出许多有天赋的人之所以很贫穷是因为他们注重的是将汉堡包做得更好而对商业体系知之甚少或一无所知。58A由后面的or nothing可知选A。59B他们专注的是完善做汉堡包的技术而不是卖汉堡包和配送汉堡包的技能。60Dapart from除之外(还有)；except for除之外(不再有)；in spite of尽管；rather than而不是。二轮专题

65、强化练答案精析强化练(十七)完形填空说明文和议论文(2)11C理解友谊的意义不能靠印在词典和书中的文字，而是要通过亲身感受。through words与下文through experience相对应。2D理解友谊的唯一方法是通过亲身感受，这包含所有的感官。expect预计，预料；express表达；affect影响；involve包含。3B在慷慨分享自己最后一块饼干的孩子身上，可以看到友谊。4C根据下文“it is always there.”可知，友谊并不难(difficult)看见，它一直在那里等待着能发现它的眼睛。5A根据本句中的squeezing in(挤出时间)和“they have

66、 a lot of things to do”可知，设空处应为busy(忙碌的)。6B该段讲述友谊是能够被听到的，故选项中只有talk to(交谈)符合语境。友谊体现在彼此之间的谈话方式上，而不是内容上，友谊就是愿意去倾听对方。7A通过触觉感知，只能用动词feel。8C通过接触传递出的信息远胜于语言或手势。understand懂得；explain解释；communicate传达(信息)；know知道。9B它可以立即被理解，还可以清楚地表达情感。perfectly完美地；instantly立即；hopefully有希望地；thankfully感激地。10D由下文中的“her hands mix

67、the flour”可知。11A由下文中的“as she waits for”可知。12B前后句之间为因果关系，故答案为B项。13A等待生面团发酵需要耐心，故答案为A项。tolerance(容忍)往往表示对自己不喜欢、不赞成的事情的容忍，不符合语境，故排除。14C由语境可知“制作面包的人所花的心思与耐心”是看不到也没法测量的。15Dcome to life苏醒过来，变得逼真；take effect生效；make sense有意义；make the difference起关键作用，有作用，有影响。16B本段作者通过介绍制作面包的过程来解释友谊，故答案为B项。17C设空处后的it指your hom

68、e，故答案为C项(迈进)。友谊的味道就是你远离故乡很长时间后迈进家门时家的味道。win back赢回；help out帮助摆脱困境；carry on继续。18D根据上面两句可知友谊有各种味道。19A根据第一段最后一句中的experience可知本题答案为A项。20D破折号是对“the language of the heart”的进一步解释，故答案为D项。该句也是文章的中心所在。221D作者在谈论自己最初对幸福的理解。他认为只有先成就了事业，才能最终获得自己想要的幸福。上句中的“.across the finish line of a long race”暗示本空答案为accomplish(完

69、成，实现)。overcome战胜，克服；forget遗忘；miss思念，错过。22B本句中作者把自己比作乌龟。首先，C、D两项意思相近，同比排除；其次，根据英语叠词的修辞手段，不难看出A、B两项中，与slow意思相近的词是steady。slow and steady的意思是“稳扎稳打的”。23A本句中作者把自己比作兔子。在通往幸福的道路上，作者有时表现得像(act like)一只急功近利的兔子。24C由空后“hoping to reach that banner a little faster”的提示可知这里指的是速度。25B在漫长的追求幸福的过程中，作者逐渐地(gradually)明白了一个

70、道理。generally一般地，通常；unfortunately不幸地，遗憾地；firstly首先。26C作者渐渐明白，无论向着那条横幅跑多久，它都不会离你更近。27D根据下文的and take a break及sitting beside me可判断出选D项。sit down坐下；settle in定居；start off动身；stop by顺路拜访。28A当作者停下追逐的脚步，坐下来休息时，他发现幸福原来就在身边。29D根据下文的“to support my family”(养家)可知，这里指努力工作。30A和孩子们一起玩耍，听到的自然是他们的欢笑声。31C根据下文的“with my wi

71、fe at my side looking after me(妻子陪在我身边照顾我)”可判断，这里指作者生病的时候。32C幸福就在身边，发现它需要的是智慧(wisdom)。33B由语境可知，这两句话是相对而言的。tension(紧张)的反义词是relaxation(放松)。stress压力；failure失败；pain痛苦。34B人们不应该一味地去追求所谓的完美的生活，从而错过了身边的幸福。35A追求完美的生活不会带来幸福，幸福在当下，享受在当下。36D幸福在你的内心和灵魂里。37A幸福是一种内心的感受，所以只有当你意识到(realize)别人爱你正如你爱他们一样的时候，你才会发现幸福。38D

72、无论走到哪里都要快乐。选项中只有D项与文章中心词happiness相符合。sorrow悲伤；responsibility责任；fortune命运。39D由语境可知此处表示使自己从那场无休止的长跑中解脱出来。take sb.out of sth.使某人从中解脱出来。40C要明白在提到爱与幸福的时候，你就已经身处其中了。341Aguidebook in hand是独立主格结构，作状语，表示方式。42B了解一座城市的方式很多，其中之一就是环城徒步旅行，当然，我们还可以借助guidebook来研究(study)其历史和特有的(special)发展并了解他们。43Dspecial是指这个城市所特有的。4

73、4A上文讲我们可以借助导游手册研究其历史和发展，下文讲如果我们从容一点，在一个城市小住几天，则对其了解更多。此处有转折的意思。45C参考上题解析。46Alook at在本题中有“考虑，判断”的意思，look at.as a whole意思是“从整体上看”。 47D下文有动词answer，此处是先行词，在定语从句中作answer的宾语，只有questions才能构成动宾关系。48C介词like意思是“像”。49Brun在这里意思是“延伸；延续；继续”。50Cin any other way以其它方式。51Cfail在这里的意思是“使失望”。从上下文看出，导游手册也不能回答以上这些问题。52Dpr
