语境为：当你出生自父母都是老师的家庭，这一切都会很自然(natural)。awesome令人敬畏的，可怕的，极好的；unfortunate不幸的，令人遗憾的；compulsory强制的，必须做的。2．A 对应前面的highacademicstandards，结合下文的dislikelosing，可以看出，这里指的是：作者在学习上水平较高，竞争(competitive)精神较强，所以，他不仅仅不喜欢失败，而且也无法忍受失败。conservative保守的，守旧的；primitive原始的；subjective主观的。3．D 语境见上一题。作者无法忍受(stand)这个情况。swear咒骂，诅咒；recommend推荐；tease取笑，戏弄。4．B 语境为：“我”的学习达到如此优秀的水平，以至于通过我的考试成绩(grade)就能看出“我”是多么优秀。第6空前有原词复现，下文的fullmarks中也有暗示。5．C outstanding杰出的，优秀的。语境见上一题。handsome英俊的；interesting有趣的；modest谦虚的，谦逊的。6．B 前文告诉我们，作者一直要做最好的学生(IamastraightAstudentandhavebeenmywholelife)，一直在打败最好的学生(needtobeatthetopstudents)，并且无法忍受(考试中的)失败，所以这里的意思是：如果“我”考试的分数没达到所期待(expect)的分数，“我”就输了。steal偷盗；deserve值得，应得；allocate拨给，分配……给。7．C 由下文对作者在谈话中的表现Ismiled，…andagreed可以看出，作者在整个过程中是很有礼貌的。attentively注意地，专心地；bitterly悲痛地；politely礼貌地；deliberately故意，蓄意，存心。8．A 这里指的是两个人在进行的谈话，所以选conversation。句意为：当“我”认为在谈话过程中需要“我”作出反应的时候，我就会(不失时机地)微笑、点头、表示同意……9．A 这里有三个并列的动作：smile，agree还有空格，四个选项中只有选nod“点头”，表示作者同意他同学的看法。10．A 语境为：作者希望他同学安静下来(quiet)，他能好好学习。11．A 上一段对方对自己在这次谈话中的表现的评价，从good，以及soeasytotalkto来看，很显然是“表扬”，所以选praise。blame责备；rudeness粗鲁；flattery奉承。D项有很大的干扰性，但是下文的Butinside,Iknewitwasn'ttrue.告诉我们，对方是发自内心的赞扬。12．C 语境为：作者的同学努力在和他谈话，而他却只是在应付，期待对方安静下来，试图不参与(participate)。13．D focuson关注，专注。前文告诉我们，“我”一直致力于成为学习上最棒的学生，所以这里表达的意思是：“我”太专注于成为优秀学生以至于“我”都变得不正常了。bringon引起，导致；dependon依靠，相信，信赖；carryon继续下去，继续开展。14．C 和女同学比较了一下，作者终于发现了，他所拥有的不过是学习上的成功(success)和自我(即自己在交谈的过程中所表现出来的自私)。appetite食欲，胃口；anxiety担忧，焦虑；feeling感受。15．D 作者认为他没有足够的(enough)同情心，即和女孩相比，女孩所具有的同情心。Ⅱ.A本文主要介绍了澳大利亚的一些情况。16．C 细节理解题。根据第一段的第三句ItisalittlesmallerthanChina.可知答案为C。6\n17．B 细节理解题。根据第二段的Thegovernmenthasmadeenoughlawstofightpollution.可知答案为B。18．D 细节理解题。由第三段的第一句…thebiggestcityin…可以推测出它是澳大利亚西部最大的城市，而选项D则说它是澳大利亚最大的城市，所以D项错误。19．D 细节理解题。根据第三段中的InspringeveryyearPerth…可知，野花展在每年春季，因为澳大利亚在南半球，所以春季应该和北半球相反，再根据答案中的各选项可知答案为D。20．D 细节理解题。从最后一段的Afterashortdrivefromanytown,youwillfindyourselfinthemiddleofwhitesheep.可以判断出选项D正确。B本文主要讲述作者担心现在的孩子因缺少室外活动，缺乏接触大自然的机会，从而对身心发展造成不利影响。21．D 段落大意题。由第二段第一句可知选D。22．C 细节理解题。根据第三段第一、二句可知应选C。23．B 细节理解题。从文章倒数第二段可知作者认为“孩子胳膊弄断了只是他们在成长中的自然经历”。24．A 细节理解题。根据第一段的内容可知应选A。25．C 主旨大意题。纵观全文可知作者表达了对孩子缺少自然体验的忧虑。6
