Ⅵ. 阅读理解

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

Everyone has got two personalities—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control your behaviour，but when you’re asleep，your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night，of course，people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.

If you go to sleep on your back，you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don’t like to upset people，so you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident.

If you sleep on your stomach，you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you’re always easily upset. You’re very stubborn，but you aren’t very ambitious. You usually live for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.

If you sleep curled up（卷曲），

you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low 第

Ⅳ.单项填空

1. 解析：选D。联系后文我们知道，是“我错怪了你。”curious 好奇；particular 挑剔。

2. 解析：选A。新疆的7·5暴力事件受到了国际社会的谴责。scold责骂；criticize批评；blame责备。

3. 解析：选A。句意为：在我们学校，以学生知道的多少和年龄的大小将他们分类。

4. 解析：选B。generally speaking为固定搭配，其他选项不符合搭配习惯。

5. 解析：选B。look ahead to意为“向未来展望”，其他介词不符合搭配。

6. 解析：选B。表示在做决定前犹豫不决，故用hesitate。reflect意为“反思；考虑”。

7. 解析：选D。superior to为固定搭配，意思是“高于……；优越于……”。

8. 解析：选B。fade out意思是“逐渐消失”。句意为：黎明时候，星星逐渐从视线中消失了。

9. 解析：选C。doing nothing为sit的伴随状语，do的逻辑主语为you，因此是主动。

10. 解析：选A。No matter how frequently performed是No matter how frequently the works are performed的省略形式，works与perform之间是被动关系。

Ⅴ. 完形填空

1. 解析：选B。根据while一词可知表示前后对比，一个是有crack，那么另一个就应是“完美无瑕”(perfect)了。还可以根据第二段的第一句话得知。

2. 解析：选A。根据句中的from the stream to the masters house可知是表示“运水”的意思。deliver递送，交付；contain 包含；fill 填满；load 装载。

3. 解析：选B。由上文内容可知一个罐可以完好地挑回一罐，而另一个却只能装回半罐，因此总共可以装回一罐半水。

4. 解析：选D。根据本句话中的miserable“痛苦的，可怜的”可以判断出。

5. 解析：选C。根据上文可知,这个有裂缝的水罐只能装回原来所装(loaded)水的一半。

6. 解析：选D。根据下文中“As we return to the masters house”一句可知，此时的对话发生在小溪(stream)边。

7. 解析：选A。这是这个有裂缝的水罐自责的话，因此选A项符合上文所说的最后只能剩一半水。side此处指侧面。

8. 解析：选B。本句话的意思为:然而你的努力却得不到百分之百的回报。

9. 解析：选B。根据下段的描述可知，搬水工是让它观察(noticed)路边的花。

10. 解析：选A。在他们上山的时候，这个旧的裂缝的罐看到了太阳温暖地照耀着路一边的那些美丽的野花。

11. 解析：选D。根据上文内容可知，有裂缝的罐一直为自己身上的

“缺陷”而感到难过(miserable)、内疚，现在看到这些好的景色,心情好点(cheered)了。同时与下句话中的bad相照应。

12. 解析：选C。上文在挑水者往回走前它就向搬水工道歉了，不过路上看到花时，暂时忘记了自己的苦恼，这时发现自己又只剩下一半水了，所以又一次(once again)向搬水工道歉。B、D两项意思一样，意为“立刻，马上”。

13. 解析：选A。根据上文介绍可知，搬水工共有两个水罐。两者中的另一个用the other表示。

18. 解析：选C。句意为：要是你不是这样的话，他(主人)的屋里就不会有这些美丽的花了。本句话是虚拟语气，根据your being 可知应选介词without。if not 是一种替代结构，常独立使用。

19. 解析：选D。句意为：在上帝的眼中，没有什么是无用的。此处选D项是根据句中的waste选择的。

20. 解析：选B。句意为：了解你的缺点，你也会成为美的源泉的。resource 资源；cause 原因，起因,常与of连用；reason原因，常与for连用；factor 因素。

Ⅵ. 阅读理解

1. 解析：选B。根据第一段末“The important position is the one that you go to sleep in”可知。

2.

解析：选C。“You dont like to upset people...”跟C有区别。

3. 解析：选C。第三段第四句“You usually live for today not for tomorrow”表明，这种人目光短浅、得过且过，难有建树。

4.

解析：选A。根据第四段，此种人属于神经质内向型，很难相处。

5.
