文章大意:
BillHavens即将参加1924年奥运会的四人划艇比赛,但为了即将分娩的妻子,他选择放弃比赛,从而错过了赢得奥运金牌的机会。
面对众人的惋惜,他却表示从未为此感到后悔。
1.A.nearedB.started
C.endedD.narrowed
答案:
A 根据下文可知,奥运会临近了,他的妻子也快要分娩了。
near作动词时意为“接近,临近”。
2.A.practisingB.competing
C.enteringD.trying
答案:
B 根据空后的intheParisgames可知,此处指他妻子分娩时他应该正在巴黎奥运会上比赛(compete)。
3.A.expensiveB.heavy
C.largeD.slow
答案:
D 此处与空前的jetairliners形成对比,说明当时只有速度很慢的(slow)船只可以到达巴黎。
4.A.hurryB.puzzle
C.dilemmaD.trap
答案:
C 是参加比赛,还是待在家里陪护妻子,他处于两难的境地,dilemma“(进退两难的)窘境,困境”。
5.A.avoidB.risk
C.bearD.miss
答案:
B 根据上文可知,如果他去巴黎参加奥运比赛就要冒孩子出生时他不在妻子身边的风险。
risk“冒……的危险”。
6.A.breakB.keep
C.wanderD.withdraw
答案:
D 根据空后的remainwithhisfamily可知,他在考虑自己是否应该从队中退出,待在家里。
withdrawfrom“退出,离开”。
7.A.complainedB.preferred
C.insistedD.promised
答案:
C 根据空后的thathegotoParis可知,这里用的是虚拟语气,四个选项中只有insist符合这一要求,从语义上也可得此答案。
8.A.AfterallB.Aboveall
C.InallD.Atall
答案:
A 此处强调比赛对他的重要性,用“毕竟”来加强语气。
aboveall“首先,最重要的是”,inall“总共,合计”,atall“根本,究竟”,都不符合语义。
9.A.purposeB.struggle
C.opportunityD.dream
答案:
D 根据语境可知,他之所以处于两难境地,他的妻子之所以劝他去,都是因为参加奥运比赛是他一生的梦想(dream)。
10.A.disappointedB.conflicted
C.confusedD.encouraged
答案:
B 根据上文可知,他处于进退两难的境地,内心很矛盾。
conflicted“冲突的,矛盾的”。
11.A.expectedB.continued
C.decidedD.stopped
答案:
C 根据下文可知,此处表示经过深思,他决定(decide)退出比赛,待在家里。
12.A.supportB.watch
C.comfortD.appreciate
答案:
A 他最终决定留在家里,这样他就可以在孩子降生时支持、帮助妻子,故用support。
13.A.fedbackB.pointedout
C.cameoutD.turnedout
答案:
D 最后的结果是,美国四人划艇队获得了巴黎奥运会的金牌。
turnout“结果是”。
14.A.effortlessB.sorry
C.lateD.hard
答案:
C 根据下一句中的Shewassolate可知,此处应用late,表示他妻子分娩的时间比预产期晚。
15.A.expressionB.birth
C.wayD.break
答案:
B 根据14空后的givingbirthtotheirchild可知此处应用birth。
16.A.painsB.sufferings
C.defeatsD.regrets
答案:
D 由上一句可知,人们为他感到惋惜,而But一词说明他的想法和众人不同,也就是说他不后悔。
regret“后悔,遗憾”。
17.A.betterB.bigger
C.worseD.more
答案:
A 上文说他自己并不后悔,说明他相信这是他做出的最好的决定。
18.A.obviousB.true
C.importantD.close
答案:
C Bill能做出这样的决定是因为他知道什么对自己最重要(important)。
19.A.responsibilityB.love
C.kindnessD.strength
