【答案】

1.B

【詳解】根據(jù)54和55空后面的單詞winter和spring可以得到答案是有關(guān)季節(jié)的時(shí)間名詞。

2.B

【詳解】根據(jù)文章中兩次都是由Zeus來(lái)調(diào)解的，因此我們可以推斷Zeus說(shuō)是萬(wàn)神之王。

3.A

【詳解】依據(jù)上文中的fell in love with以及下文的he would not agree to the marriage可以得出答案。

4.A

【詳解】由上文中Zeus did not want either to disappoint Hades or to upset Demeter, 他也難于做出判決，都不能讓雙方不高興或者失望，因此，也不強(qiáng)迫(forbid)。

5.D

【詳解】既然萬(wàn)神之王Zeus睜一只閉一只眼，沒(méi)有完全制止，Hades也就敢于決定未經(jīng)同意想帶走Persephone。

6.D

【詳解】根據(jù)句意，是Demeter弄清楚（查明）Persephone所發(fā)生的事。

7.C

【詳解】Demeter一直是不同意這樁婚事的，當(dāng)然是勃然大怒了。

8.C

【詳解】Demeter就是主管seasons之神，自然就可以阻止世間萬(wàn)物生長(zhǎng)了。

9.A

【詳解】世間人們也就處于挨餓危險(xiǎn)境地了。

10.B

【詳解】注意not…until…句式的意思，直到……才……。

11.B

【詳解】根據(jù)整篇文章意思，Zeus就是萬(wàn)神的主管，還是得由他來(lái)裁決。

12.A

【詳解】為使兩方都滿意，由Zeus來(lái)裁決Persephone返回她母親身邊的條件。

13.C

【詳解】依據(jù)下文中的“Persephone had eaten several pomegranate (石榴)”也可得到答案。

14.D                                                           

【詳解】生米已煮成熟飯，Demeter也只好同意了。

15.A

【詳解】Zeus是萬(wàn)神之王，只discovered發(fā)現(xiàn)，而不必去studied這么深?yuàn)W吧。

16.B

【詳解】自然是返回好母親身邊了。

17.C

【詳解】根據(jù)句意，于是就發(fā)生了/出現(xiàn)了……，再說(shuō)it happens that也是個(gè)常用的句式。

18.D

【詳解】Demeter就will“決不會(huì)”，而其它幾個(gè)都是正式的情態(tài)動(dòng)詞，沒(méi)有這種含義。

19.C

【詳解】解釋原因。

20.D

We all know that some things are obviously right. For example, it is right to be   1  to other people. It is also right to look after the environment. Some things are   2  wrong, too. For instance, we should not hurt or bully（欺負(fù)）others, nor should we litter. Rules often tell us what is right or wrong.

Rules can help the public make the right   3 , and remain safe. Car drivers have to obey traffic regulations that tell them the right things to do on the road to avoid crashes. Cyclists who give signals before turning or stopping help prevent   4 .

If people follow rules without taking other matters into consideration, it will be   5 for them to form what is sometimes called a “black and white” view (黑白分明的觀點(diǎn)). For example, they may believe that people should always tell the truth, and that lying is   6  acceptable. Such people always stick to their views, even if it means that they may get into  7 .

Sometimes it may not be so easy to know   8  what is right or wrong. Some people choose not to eat meat because they believe that it is   9  to eat animals, but others argue that they can eat meat and   10  be kind to animals; some insist that stealing is always wrong, but others think that one does not need to feel so guilty (有罪的) when stealing some food to eat, if he lives in a really poor area and he is starving.

Rules help us live together in harmony, because they show us the right way to treat others. However, some people argue that rules may be confusing, having observed that rules change all the time, and that some schools have some regulations and others have different ones---so who is to decide what is right?

1.                A．kind           B．sensitive        C．fair  D．generous

 

2.                A．equally         B．slightly         C．clearly   D．increasingly

 

3.                A．suggestions      B．conclusion      C．turns D．choices

 

4.                A．a(chǎn)ccidents       B．mistakes        C．falls  D．deaths

 

5.                A．interesting      B．vital (重要的)     C．easy D．valuable

 

6.                A．seldom         B．rarely          C．merely (僅僅)  D．never

 

7.                A．trouble         B．power          C．prison    D．control

 

8.                A．roughly         B．eventually       C．deliberately (故意地)    D．exactly

 

9.                A．a(chǎn)wful (可怕的)   B．cruel           C．unhealthy D．unnecessary

When I come across a good article in reading newspapers，I often want to cut and keep it．But just as I am about to do so，I find the article on the   31   side is as much interesting．It may be a discussion of the way to   32   in good health，or advice about how to behave and   33  yourself in society．If I cut the front articles，the opposite one is likely to suffer   34  ，leaving one half of it or keeping the text    35    the title．Therefore，the scissors would stay before they start，    36   the cutting would be halfway done when I find out the   37    result．

Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time，both worth your   39   ．You can only take up one of them；the other has to wait or be   39   up．But you know the future is unpredictable—the changed situation may not   40   you to do what is left behind．Thus you are   41   in a difficult position and feel sad．How come nice    42  and clever ideas should gather around all at once?
