Most people have no idea of the hard work and worry that gosintosthe collecting of those fascinating birds and animals that they pay to see in the zoo.one of the questions that is always asked of me is 1 i became an animal collector in the first 2 .the answer is that i have always been interested in animals and zoos.according to my parents, the first word i was able to say with any 3 was not the conventional“mamma”or“daddy”,4 the word“zoo”, which i would 5 over and over again with a shrill 6 until someone, insgroupsto 7 me up, would take me to the zoo. When i 8 a little older, we lived in greece and i had a great 9 of pets, ranging from owls to seahorses, and i spent all my spare time 10 the countryside in search of fresh specimens to 11 to my collection of pets.12 on i went for a year to the city zoo, as a student 13 , to get experience of the large animals, such as lions, bears, bison and ostriches,14 were not easy to keep at home.when i left, i 15 had enough money of my own to be able to 16 my first trip and i have been going 17 ever since then.though a collector’s job is not an easy one and is full of 18 ,it is certainly a job which will appeal 19 all those who love animals and 20 . 1.a.how b.where c.when d.whether 2.a.region b.field c.place d.case 3.a.clarity b.emotion c.sentiment d.affection 4.a.except b.but c.except for d.but for 5.a.recite b.recognize c.read d.repeat 6.a.volume b.noise c.voice d.pitch 7.a.close b.shut c.stop d.comfort 8.a.grew b.was growing c.grow d.grown 9.a.many b.amount c.number d.supply 10.a.living b.cultivating c.reclaiming d.exploring 11.a.increase b.include c.add d.enrich 12.a.later b.further c.then d.subsequently 13.a.attendant b.keeper c.member d.aide 14.a.who b.they c.of which d.which 15.a.luckily b.gladly c.nearly d.successfully 16.a.pay b.provide c.allow d.finance 17.a.normally b.regularly c.usually d.often 18.a.expectations b.sorrowsc.excitement d.disappointments 19.a.for b.with c.to d.from 20.a.excursion b.travel c.journey d.trip 1.【答案】a 【解析】根據(jù)下一句及隨后的內容,作者講的是怎樣成為動物愛好者的(從小就喜歡動物),應當選擇a.how。 2.【答案】c 【解析】in the first place是固定短語,意思是“首先”。此句意思是:別人經常問到的問題之一,是當初我是如何愛上動物的。 3.【答案】a 【解析】這句話的意思是:作者在呀呀學語之時,最早發(fā)清楚的音是“zoo”(動物園),而不是“媽媽”,“爸爸”,因此,應選clarity“清晰”。填入其他選項emotion (感情),sentiment(多愁善感),affection(友愛)不合邏輯。 4.【答案】b【解析】but在此處連接另一個句子(it was the word“zoo”,“it was”被省略),表示轉折,意為“而是”,except,except for,but for的用法接近,表示“除了……”。 5.【答案】d【解析】根據(jù)后面的over and over again,應選“repeat” 6.【答案】c 【解析】小孩想去動物園,便不停地發(fā)出尖叫聲,故選“voice”。a shrill voice與scream的意思接近。volume(音量);noise(噪音);pitch(音調)均不合要求。 7.【答案】b 【解析】shut sb.up是指讓某人住口,為了讓孩子停止尖叫,只好帶他去動物園。 8.【答案】a 9.【答案】c【解析】a great many后直接跟可數(shù)名詞的復數(shù)形式;a great / large amount of后跟不可數(shù)名詞;只有a great /large number of后可以跟可數(shù)名詞的復數(shù)形式。 例如: i read a great many english books. a large amount of money is spent on tobacco every year. a great number of civilians were murdered in cold blood. 10.【答案】d【解析】living后必須接介詞in,意為“居住”;cultivating耕種;reclaiming開墾;只有exploring有探察的意思。 11.【答案】c【解析】add to相當于increase,增加。其余選項后面都不接to。 12.【答案】a 【解析】later on為固定短語,“后來”。 13.【答案】d 【解析】attendant仆人;keeper可理解為“飼養(yǎng)員”,但是a student keeper容易被誤解為“收留學生的人”;aide有“助手”之義。作者一邊上學,一邊在動物園里打工,只能當助手。 14.【答案】d 【解析】which在此引導定語從句,修飾前面列出的動物。 15.【答案】d 解析】因為錢是在動物園打工掙的,選successfully更能體現(xiàn)其含義。 16.【答案】d 17.【答案】b 18.【答案】d 【解析】此句是由though引導的讓步狀語從句,應與主句意思相對立。選項中,sorrows和disappointments與主句的appeal to相對立,但sorrows的分量太重。 19.【答案】c 【解析】appeal to為成語,意思是“吸引”。 20.【答案】b 【解析】excursion短途旅行;journey(從一地到另一地的)長距離,具體的旅途;travel旅行,旅游,海外旅行;trip旅行,遠足。 |
