　　1.【答案】A

　　【解析】根據(jù)下一句及隨后的內(nèi)容，作者講的是怎樣成為動物愛好者的(從小就喜歡動物)，應(yīng)當(dāng)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(jīng)常問到的問題之一，是當(dāng)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(xué)語之時(shí),最早發(fā)清楚的音是“zoo”(動物園),而不是“媽媽”,“爸爸”,因此,應(yīng)選clarity“清晰”。填入其他選項(xiàng)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(zhuǎn)折，意為“而是”，Except,except for,but for的用法接近，表示“除了……”。

　　例如：

　　We go there every day except Sunday.

　　He answered all the questions except for the last one.

　　For a year the dam remained complete but for the generators.

　　從意思上，邏輯上，都應(yīng)當(dāng)選but。

　　5.【答案】D

　　【解析】根據(jù)后面的over and over again,應(yīng)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(diào))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

　　【解析】根據(jù)后面主句的時(shí)態(tài)，此處只能用一般過去時(shí)。

　　9.【答案】C

　　【解析】a great many后直接跟可數(shù)名詞的復(fù)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(fù)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(dāng)于increase，增加。其余選項(xiàng)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(xué)生的人”;aide有“助手”之義。作者一邊上學(xué)，一邊在動物園里打工，只能當(dāng)助手。

　　14.【答案】D

　　【解析】which在此引導(dǎo)定語從句，修飾前面列出的動物。

　　15.【答案】D

　　【解析】因?yàn)殄X是在動物園打工掙的，選successfully更能體現(xiàn)其含義。

　　16.【答案】D

　　【解析】finance my first trip意為“支付我的旅行

　　費(fèi)用”;pay后應(yīng)接介詞for;其他選項(xiàng)的意思相差甚遠(yuǎn)。

　　17.【答案】B

　　【解析】此句為現(xiàn)在完成進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài),選regularly比較貼切。

　　18.【答案】D

　　【解析】此句是由though引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語從句，應(yīng)與主句意思相對立。選項(xiàng)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(yuǎn)足。

　　翻譯

　　美國人強(qiáng)調(diào)效率、競爭和獨(dú)創(chuàng)性，而中國人則將嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)規(guī)劃放在首位，鼓勵團(tuán)隊(duì)成員之間的密切合作和無私奉獻(xiàn)。在美國學(xué)校，討論享有至高無上的地位，討論是課堂教學(xué)的主旋律;而中國教師喜歡講課，喜歡考試，編寫千篇一律的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)教案，培養(yǎng)整齊劃一的高材生。美國人的政治觀，經(jīng)濟(jì)觀以及社會觀的核心是個人道德自治觀。中國傳統(tǒng)的思想體系是以儒家學(xué)說為基礎(chǔ)的，這種思想強(qiáng)調(diào)整體和諧�，F(xiàn)在，中美聯(lián)系比以往更加緊密，中國人學(xué)英語，玩保齡球，吃肯德基，美國人學(xué)漢語，練功夫，吃北京烤鴨，《泰坦尼克》駛進(jìn)中國，《牡丹亭》也在百老匯上演。

　　American people emphasize efficiency,competition and originality while Chinese people give priority to careful planning and encourage close cooperation and altruistic dedication among team members. In American schools, discussion is given top priority while Chinese teachers like to lecture in class, and a lot of them are obsessed with examinations. They write consistent and standardized teaching plans, and are happy with bringing up identical and standardized talents. Central to American political, economic and social thought is the concept of individual moral autonomy. Traditional Chinese philosophical systems are based on Confucianism,which sings high praises for communal harmony. Nowadays, the relation of China and America become closer than ever. Chinese learn English, play bowling, enjoy KFC, while Americans learn Chinese, exercise Kung Fu, like Peking Duck. And Titanic sailed into China, while The Peony Pavilion has been performed on Broadway.
