And then in the third 答案与题解: round, Harrelson hit Banderas 9 hard in the face 1. C 根据句意，每次骨折似乎总是发生在做运动时，应当选that he actually broke his nose. His wife, actress Melanie 用动词 do 0 practise 表示“练习”， 后面应跟某一项具体的训Griffith, was furious that he had been playing "silly macho 练，而不是 sport，所以正确答案为 C。 games". "She was right," confesses Banderas, "and I was 2. A play the part of ...为固定搭配，意为“扮演一个......a fool to 10 a risk like that in the middle of a movie." 的角色”，其他三项均不合适。 He was 11 of the time he broke his leg during a 3. D 联系上下文，根据句意，在影片制作过程中，所以应当football match in his native Malaga. He had always 12 用 during。 of becoming a soccer star, of performing in front of a big 4. A 根据句意，Harrelson 在影片制作过程中不断地抱怨，crowd, but doctors told him his playing days were probably 而且后面的动词complain 用的是ing 形式，因此动词 over. "That's when I decided to take 13 acting; I saw keep“连续，不断”最为恰当。continue 后加动词 ing 形式一it as 14 way of performing, and achieving recognition. 般表示在停顿后重新开始、继续，carry 一般后面跟介词on ，What happened to me on that football 15 表示 “ 进行某项事务 ” ， insist 表示“坚决主张”，不合句意，所以was, you might say, my first lucky break." 选 A。 5. C 联系上下文，因为是影片中的打斗场景，所以这里 词汇: scene 是正确答案。 middleweight / 'midlweit/ n. 中量级拳击手 6. B be keen on 为固定搭配，表示“对……感兴趣，对......convincing /k?n'vinsi?/ a.有说服力的，令人信服的 热衷”，interest 后面配介词 in ，enthusiastic 后面配介词 of。 furious /'fju:ri?s/ a. 暴怒的，强烈的 7. B 联系上下文，作者要表达的是最终他还是被他的搭档说macho / 'mɑ:t??u/ a. 雄壮的，男子气概的 服了，副词eventually 放在动词 persuade 之前，lastly 表示confess / k?n'fes/ v. 承认，坦白 “最后一点，最后”，“at the end”一般放在段落的最后，表示 最后怎么样。 注释: 8. C 根据句意，"当他意识到……是全心全意投人进来时，1. ... plays the part of a middleweight boxer 他开始后悔自己要打斗的决定"，显然是对手非常认真的对待这alongside ... :……与……并肩，扮演一个中量级拳击 手…… 场打斗，所以 opponent 是正确答案。 2. ... was reminded of the time ... :......想起……的时9. D so... that ...固定搭配，太……以至于，根据句意，候…… “Harrelson 如此狠地打在 Banderas 的脸上，以至于居然打破 了 Banderas 的鼻子”，其他选项都不适合。 练习: 10. A 固定搭配 take a risk ，表示“冒险”。 1. A) practising B) making C) doing 11.

12. C 根据句意和后面的介词of ，显然，“他一直梦想成为一个足球明星”，dream 是正确答案。 pretend 表示“假装”，后面眼介词 to，不合句意;look forward 表示叫“向往”，后面跟介词1 0 ，不合句意。 13. A 固定搭配 take up sth. ，表示“开始从事某事”，根据句意，作者要表达的是“我决定开始演戏”，因此 up 是正确答案。
14. D 联系上下文，作者显然把它看成是另外一种比赛，所以只有 another 符合句意。
15. B 词组 football pitch，表示"足球场"。前面由介词 on 引导，后面一定是场地，也就是足球场，而不是 match“比赛”。court 表示“网球场”，course 表示“跑道”，均不符合句意。 第二篇 幸运的骨折
演员Antonio Banderas经常骨折，而且它似乎总是发生在运动时。在影片《拳拳到骨》中，他与Woody Harrelson并肩，扮演一个中量级拳击手。在影片制作过程中，Harrelson不停地抱怨整个打斗场面并不是很令人信服，所以一天，他提议他和Banderas应该进行一场真正的打斗。这位西班牙演员起初对这一想法并不热衷，但最终他还是被他的搭档说服了，他戴上他的手套，爬上了拳击台。然而，当他意识到他的对手是全心全意投入进来时，他开始后悔自己要打斗的决定。在第三轮，Harrelson狠狠地打在Banderas的脸上，以至于居然打破了Banderas的鼻子。女演员Melanie Griffith，他的妻子对他进行这样一场“傻男子气概的游戏”非常愤怒。 “她是对的”，Banderas承认道，“我在电影拍摄过程中进行这样一个冒险真是一个傻瓜。”
他记起在他的故乡马拉加进行的一场足球比赛，那次他的腿骨骨折了。他一直梦想成为一个足球明星，在众多观众前比赛。但他的医生告诉他，他的比赛生涯也许就要结束了。“就在那时我决定开始演戏；我认为这是另外一种比赛并且能够得到认可。可以这么说，发生在那次足球场上的事对我而言，是一次幸运的骨折。”
第三篇 Global Warming
Few people now question the reality of global warming and its effects on the world's climate. Many scientists (1) the blame for recent natural disasters on the increase (2) the world's temperatures and are convinced that, more than (3) before, the Earth is at (4) from the forces of the wind, rain and sun. (5) to them, global warming is making extreme weather events, (6) as hurricanes and droughts, even more (7) and causing sea levels all around the world to (8) .
Environmental groups are putting (9) on governments to take action to reduce the (10) of carbon dioxide which is given (11) by factories and power plants, thus attacking the problem at its source. They are in (12) of more money being spent on research into solar, wind and wave energy devices, which could then replace existing power (13) .
Some scientists, (14) believe that even if we stopped releasing carbon dioxide and other gases into the atmosphere tomorrow, we would have to wait (15) hundred years to notice the results. Global warming, it seems, is here to stay. 词汇: climate /'klaimit/ n. 气候,风气 hurricane n. 飓风,暴风- drought n. 干旱,旱灾
carbon dioxide n. 二氧化碳 solar 太阳的 n. atmosphere 大气 注释:
1. put the blame for ... :把……归咎于……

í3.A) factories B) generations C) houses D) stations
14.A) but B) although C) despite D) however
15.A) several B) over C) numerous D) various
答案与题解:
1. B 固定搭配 put the blame for ... ，表示“把……归咎于……”，所以 put 为正确答案。
2. A 介词搭配，文中“the world's temperatures”前需要补充一个介词，表达在全球范围内气温的上升，因此应该在 A 和 B 之间选择。而 at 后面只可以眼某个小地点，根据文意，只有 in 才是正确答案。
3. D 联系上下文，根据句意，显然作者要表达的是“以往任何时候”，因此选用 ever。其他三项均不符合句意。 4. C 固定搭配 at risk ，表达“濒临危险，处境危险”。 5. D 习惯用法 according to sb. 表示“据某某所说”，显然选择 D。
6. A 根据句意，作者要举例子，习惯用法即为 such as ... ，因此选 A。
7. B 根据句意，作者举例子是按照递进的顺序，从飓风、干早到排在后面的是更加严重的问题。strict 表示“严格的”，strong 表示“强烈的”，heavy 表示“沉重的，巨大的”，只有 severe 表示“严峻的，严重的”，因此 B 是正确答案。
8. C 根据句意，导致世界各地的海平面上升，所以在 A 和 C 之间选择。raise 表示"举起，抬起，唤起"，有主动意味，rise 表示客观的上升，因此是正确答案。
9. B 联系上下文，根据句意，根据选项，很容易理解是给政府施加压力，显然 pressure 最为恰当。
10. A 根据句意，减少二氧化碳的排放量，二氧化碳是不可数名词，因此 amount 是正确答案。 ll. A 固定搭配，give off 表示"排放(气体、液体、光)等"，文中表达的是排放二氧化碳气体，显然选 A。而 give away 表示“泄露，分发” ，give up 表示"放弃" ，give over 表示“停止，交出”。
12. C 固定搭配 in favour of ... ，表示“支持……，赞成……”，所以选 C。
13. D 根据句意，作者表达的是"发电站"，为固定词组 power station。
14. D 联系上下文，上文说的是很多科学家的想法，下文转而言另外还有一些科学家的想法，有转折之意，且空格在两句未完的话之间，因此惯用法选择 however。
15. A 根据句意，还需要等几百年，several 表示"几个"，符合句意。其他三个选项均不合适。第三篇 全球变暖
现在很少有人质疑全球变暖的现实及其对世界气候的影响。许多科学家把全球气温上升归咎于最近的自然灾害，他们确信，地球现在比以往任何时候都更受到风、雨和太阳这些力量的威胁。据他们说，全球变暖制造了极端天气事件，例如飓风、干旱，甚至更为严重的以至于世界各地的海平面上升。
环保团体对政府施加压力，要求政府采取行动减少工厂和发电厂排放的二氧化碳量，攻击它的资源问题。他们都赞成把更多的资金用到研发太阳能、风能和波浪能装置上，以取代现有的发电站。
然而，还有一些科学家，他们相信即使明天我们不再排放二氧化碳和其他气体到大气层中，我们也将不得不等待几百年才能得到结果。全球变暖似乎要在这里停留。

答案与题解:
1. B 固定搭配make fortune，意为“制造财富，发财”，因此选 B。其他三项均不合适。 2. D 这里应该是一个由 what 引导的从句为主语的句子，表示“使得 Ben 的故事更引人注意的 是……”，其他三项均无法引导该从句。 3. B 根据句意，是 Ben 被告知，因此选项 told 为E确答案。said 意为“被说”，suggested 意为“被建议”，reported 意为“被报道”，均不合句意。 4. C 联系上下文，了解到本句表达的是 Ben 曾被他的初中教师告知他将永远不能正确读写，而不是完全无法读写，因此 properly 才符合句意。absolutely 表示“完全地，绝对地”，totally 表示“完全地”，thoroughly 表示“彻底地，完全地”，均不合句意。
5. A 根据句意，很容易了解 Ben 是要证明他们对他的判断错了，而不是说他们的判断是假的、不真实的，或者不公平
的，所以 wrong 是正确答案。
6. A 根据动词前的主语 local authorities 和后面的介词 with 可以知道他是被提供了一台个人电脑，所以选项 provide 为正确答案。如用 give 则不需跟介词 with，如用 offer 则需跟 to，如用 get 则需前面的主语是 Ben。 7. D 根据句意，易知文中耍表达的是"虽然他不能阅读使用指南"，因此 unable 为正确答案。impossible 表示“不可能的”，incapable 表示“元能力的”，-般形容不能胜任的; disabled 表示“有残缺的”。
8. C 根据句意，易知文中要表达的是在爸爸的鼓励下。若用 promised 则表示在爸爸的承诺 下，il1-vited 则是在爸爸的邀请下，animated 表示"有生气的"，均不符合句意，因此 encouraged 为正确答案。 9. B 根据句意，“Ben 很快就开始以自己的知识和能力收费一二每小时10英镑"，只有 charge符合句意。
10. D 联系上下文，根据句意，Ben 创建了自己的公司一-Quad Computer，固定搭配 set up 表示“创建”，其他三项均不合适，所以选 D。 11. C 根据句意，Ben 把所有的精力投入到公司经营当中，根据后面的介词 to。可知，只有devote 是正确答案。
12. A 词组搭配 a couple of 表示“一些”，few 一般形容只需少量的几个，little 形容不可数名词，文中要表达的是公司已经发展壮大，Ben 需要雇用一些员工，因此只有 couple 符合句意。
13. B 根据句意，Ben 开始与更大的公司做生意，固定搭配 do business with ...符合句意。其他三项均不合适。
14. A 固定搭配 overcome challenge，表示“克服困难，克服挑战”，因此选 A。overlook 表示“不注意，忽视”，overtake 表示“赶上”，overtake 表示“把……做得过分”。 15. D 根据句意，"“价值2500万英镑的交易”，显然 worth 是正确答案。valuable 表示“珍贵的，值钱的”，estimated 表示“估计，预算”，priced 表示“给……定价，附有定价的”。 第四篇 一个成功的故事
19岁时，Ben Way已经是一个百万富翁了，他是越来越多的通过互联网获得财富的青少年之一。而使得Ben的故事更引人注意的是他有诵读困难，并且曾被他的初中教师告知他将永远不能正确读写。“我要证明他们错了。”Ben说。他后来成为Waysearch的创建者和董事长，Waysearch 是一个在网上购物商场查找货物的网络搜索引擎。
Ben八岁时，他所在的地方当局提供给他一台个人电脑以帮助学校工作。虽然他不能阅读使用指南，但他对计算机有一种天赋，在父亲的鼓励下，Ben很快就开始以自己的知识和能力收费——每小时10英镑。15岁时，Ben成立了自己的电脑顾问公司——夸德电脑，他在自己的卧室里运营(这个公司)，两年之后，他离开了学校，并将所有的精力投入到公司经营当中。
“此时公司已经发展壮大，我需要雇用几个员工帮助我”，Ben说，“这使我开始与更大的公司做生意。”正是他持续不断地克服困难挑战的能力使他赢得了“年度最佳青年企业家”，也是同年，他成立了Waysearch。最近，他与一家私人投资公司签署了价值2 500万英镑的交易，这家公司将为他的搜索引擎提供资金。
