9、答案及解析 完形填空 36. D。她从教师工作上退了下来,然而她一直很忙。 B 项有一定干扰性。 keep rich 意思是 富有 ,从后文she was even willing to work without pay可以看出 B 项不合题意。 37. A。从空后的 that helped other businesses find jobs for old people可以看出,她提供的是商业服务。 38. B。从空后的 By talking with them 可以看出, Anna Douglas 每天都与很多老年人会面,而不是观察或安慰他们。 39. A。通过与他们交谈,她认识到两件事
10、情。接下来的两句便是她认识到的事情。 recognize 在这里是 认识到 的意思。 40. D。老年人有未被利用的能力。这是她积极为老年人找工作发挥他们余热的原因。其他答案不合题意。 41. B。然而老年人也有老年人的问题。 A项有较大干扰性。从后文我们知道,有一位老年人不受其孙子女的欢迎,这是他面临的问题,而不是错误。 42. D。从后文 She began to write a newspaper column calledSixty Plus,我们知道,她为国家杂志写人物故事是以前的事。 43. A。联系上下文 Old people like herself是报纸的一个话题( subj
11、ect),因此其它选项不合题意。 44. A。 get old 在这里为系表结构,其它选项不正确。 45. C。 B, D 项有较大干扰性。作者举的例子说明很多老年人被其孙子女误解,而不是(他们的要求)被拒绝等。 46. A。从空后的 see the truth behind a problem 我们得知, Anna Douglas 用的是 thinking abilities。 47. C。从下文举的例子看,她明白的是事情的起因,因此其它选项不合题意。 48. B。 A项有较大干扰性。从前文我们知道 Anna Douglas 是靠写文章与老年人交流,而不是建立了咨询中心,因此 A项不合题意。
12、 49. C。联系上下文我们可以推知,这位老年人与其孙子女关系并不融洽,因此当他进来时,孩子们就离开。 50. C。她给这位老人建议了几种方法。 51. B。 A, C 有较大干扰性。从空后的 your grandchildrens world 我们得知,想了解孙子女世界的一切是不可能的。 52. A。本空承接 and 前的分句而来,因此答案应在 questioning 和 listening 间选择,选项中没有 questioning。 53. B。联系上文 Say good things to them and about them得此答案。 A项有一定干扰性,空前的 Never 决定了此
13、选项不正确。 54. D。 stick to 在这里是 固执地坚持 。 A, B 均有一定干扰性。联系前文 Mrs Douglas 认为老人应该多听听孙子女的见解,不要太固执地坚持自己的看法。 speak out 意思是 说出 , give up 是 放弃 ,因此不合题意。 55. A。 D 有较大干扰性。 Naturally 意思是 自然而然地 ,而 Commonly 指 通常情况下 。 2 阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从 3655 各题所给的四个选项( A、 B、 C 和 D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 We may look at the world around us
