6、_your chances for success.【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了“我”在旅馆里看到一只苍蝇不停地试图穿过玻璃飞出去，这无疑是在自杀。它完全可以从旁边开着的门飞走。“我”从这件事得到启发：人们在遇到困难的时候，不应冒昧地尝试，应该有所突破，才有机会获得成功。1.A.seeing Bcrying outCwatching Dlistening to解析句意为：我听到了绝望的声音。listen to“听到”。A、B、C三项均没有“听到”的意思。答案D2A. struggle BcryCyell Dtest解析struggle意为“挣扎，斗争”；cry意为“哭，喊叫”；

7、yell意为“叫喊”；test意为“测试”。由第二段第四句中“the struggle is part of trap”的提示可知，此处应选用struggle。答案A3A. bird BflyCinsect Dworm解析bird意为“鸟”；fly意为“苍蝇”；insect意为“昆虫”；worm意为“爬虫”。由第二段第五句中的“the fly to try hard enough to succeed in.”可知，B项正确。答案B4A. experience BdirectionCforce Dattempt解析experience意为“经验，经历”；direction意为“方向”；forc

9、ng BbreakingCpushing Djumping解析dig“挖掘”；break“打破”；push“推”；jump“跳”。短语break through意为“突破，冲破”，符合语境。答案B8A. kill BdieClie Dstick解析kill“杀死”；die“死”；lie“撒谎，躺”；stick“粘贴”。由常识判断，如果苍蝇不断地撞击玻璃，就会死在那里。答案B9A. away BfarCnear Ddistant解析away“距离远”；far“远的”；near“近的”；distant“远的”。away用在名词后，表示距离某地有多远，符合语境。答案A10A. dreams Bthi

10、nks ofCmisses Dlongs for解析dream“梦想”；think of“考虑”；miss“怀念，错过”；long for“渴望”。句意为：只需十秒钟的飞行，这只苍蝇就能飞到外面它所渴望的世界。答案D11A. done BownedCwasted Dplanned解析do“做，完成”；own“拥有”；waste“浪费”；plan“计划”。根据语境可知，它之前的努力都白费了，故C项符合语境。答案C12A. aim BtrapCnet Dgoal解析aim“目的，目标”；trap“陷阱”；net“网”；goal“目的”。由第二段第四句中的“the struggle is part

11、of the trap”可知，trap符合语境，即自我设置的陷阱。答案B13A. easy BnecessaryChard Dobvious解析easy“轻松的，容易的”；necessary“必要的”；hard“艰难的”；obvious“明显的”。句意为：突破的可能性就在那里，是那么简单。答案A14A. attempt BanythingCstruggle Dsomething解析something“某事，某物”，常用于肯定句；anything“任何事物”，常用于否定句和疑问句。在表示请求、建议或征求意见的疑问句中常用something。答案D15A. that BwhatCwhich Dwh

12、ere解析that可引导定语从句，也可引导名词性从句；what引导名词性从句；which引导形容词性从句；where可引导定语从句和状语从句。从句中不缺任何成分，且句中先行词是idea，所以其后要用that来引导同位语从句，对idea进行补充说明。答案A16A. sense BdifferenceCeffect Deffort解析sense“感觉，意识”，常和make构成短语，make sense意为“有意义”；difference“区别，不同”；effect“影响”；effort“努力”。句意为：毫无疑问，这种方法对这只苍蝇来说是有意义的。答案A17A. of BfromCoff Dto解析

13、在solution的后面常跟to表示的不定式，是固定搭配。意为“解析法”。答案D18A. advice BsupportChope Dpower解析advice“建议”；support“支持，支撑”；hope“希望”；power“力量”。此处与最后一段中的“If you_ _your hopes for a.”相照应，故用hope符合语境。答案C19A. risk BgetCmake Dtake解析risk“冒险，冒的风险”；get“获得”；make“制作”；take“带走”。句意为：如果你冒险把你的希望放在比以往更艰难的突破上，你就可能有扼杀成功的机会。答案A20A. fail BkillC

14、achieve Dfulfill解析fail“失败”；kill“杀死”；achieve“获得，达到”；fulfill“执行，履行”由语境可知，此处应用kill。答案B阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。(原创)People in Hong Kong speak a rich mixture of languages.
