25、ce sb of sth 使某人相信某事。介词 on 可表示“在方面”。句意：科学家们相信大笑对于人的身心健康有积极的作用。4B 考查短语辨析。A 项应为 badly in need of sth(非常需要某物)；B 项意为“缺乏” ；C 项意为 “较好的；较为宽裕的 ”；D 项意为“拼搏；挣扎” 。句意：这所学校严重缺乏有教学经验的教师，这引起了很大的关注。5C 根据前面的 looked here and there 判断，我们的老师“好像”在找东西，所以用 as if。6C 考查动词短语辨析。A 项意为“切开；切碎” ；B 项意为“切掉；删去” ；C 项意为“切断；隔绝” ；D 项意为 “
26、抄近路” 。句意：由于通往村里的道路都被毁掉了，所以有几个村庄被与外界隔绝开来。7C 考查动词的时态。电影 国王的演讲已经上映，故用一般过去时。8C 考查副词辨析。occasionally 偶尔； regularly 定期地； constantly 不断地，经常地； frequently 频繁地，经常地。句意：这台机器用了好多年了，难怪( 它)偶尔运转不良。9A 考查时间状语从句。这里 smile 和 apologize 同时进行，as 意为：当的时候。句意：当玛丽为她喝醉的朋友道歉时，他礼貌地微笑着。10D failure 表示“失败的人或事”时，是可数名词；表示 “失败”时，是不可数名词。
27、第一空指“失败者” ，所以用 a；第二空指“以失败告终” ，所以不加冠词。11D 由 up to now 可知，此句应该使用现在完成时态。12D 本句考查 It takes(sb)sth(to do sth)。原句转换成陈述句语序为：It will takedeaths to convince the authorities of the need to test these drugs.。13C 此处考查“keep宾语宾语补足语”的结构。the children 与 entertain 之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，所以要用过去分词作宾语补足语。14A 考查动词短语辨析。句意： 你是怎样这么容易就
28、认出你的朋友的？她是那种就算是在人群中也很显眼的女孩。pick out 选出，拣出，辨认出；stand out 引人注目，脱颖而出；stand for 代表，象征；take out 取出，带 出去；stand by 站在一边，袖手旁观，支持；stand aside 站开。15C 考查虚拟语气。would rather 后通常接不用 that 引导的从句，从句用过去式，但不表示“过去” ，而表示“现在”或“将来” 。.我的学生都是一些身体残疾或智力有障碍的孩子。Mark 行动不便，在一次学校组织的残疾人奥林匹克运动会中，Mark 落在最后，他的三个朋友返回去跟 Mark 共同冲向终点。他们的行为
29、深刻地阐释了残疾人奥运会的真正意义之所在。16A 从第一句中的“teaching”一词可以看出作者是一名教师，因此这里是说“我”的“学生” 。17D 从前一句可知 Mark 患脑瘫，行动不便，因此他是被束缚在“轮椅”上。24 空所在句子中的“wheelchair”是答案提示。18B 前一句提到他必须跟自己的身体不便作斗争，本句提到他有积极的态度，前后构成转折关系，因此选 B。19C 联系上下文可知，他积极乐观，因此很受同学们的“喜爱” 。20D 由 23 空后的“well in their sports events”可知，这三个学生擅长“运动” 。21C Mark 希望像他们一样，自己不受身
30、体不便的束缚。因此选 body。22B Mark 基本上不能运动，因此在看到别人在运动场上活动时，他会“惊叹” 。wonder 表示“ 惊讶，惊叹” 。23A 上文提到这三个学生擅长体育运动，再由该空后的“gave the normallycheer about”可知他们在这次的体育比赛中获得了好名次。place 表示“获名次” ，符合语境。24B 从上一句的“cheer about”以及文章最后一句可知，Mark 坐在轮椅里为他们欢呼。25B 根据下文可知所有的学生都被邀请沿着跑道走或者跑完一圈，因此选 B 项。26C entire 表示“完整的” ，符合语境。27D 当三名学生到达终点的时
31、候，他们停下来，转身看他们后面的同学。pause 停下来，符合语境。28A at the end of 是固定搭配，表示“在的后面” 。29C Mark 行动不便，因此所有的同学都超过了他。pass 意思是“经过；通过” 。30C 只有他自己还剩下一半多的路没走完。 cover 行走，符合语境。31D 他们三个彼此注视了一下，心里都有了个想法。thought 在此处是名词，表示“想法” 。32A 根据上文可知他们已经到达了终点，因此这里是指他们返回去为 Mark 加油。33D as 在此处的意思是“正如” 。他们为 Mark 加油，就像 Mark 之前为他们加油一样。34A 从后半句的 but
32、 可知，虽然过程很慢，但是最后他们三人跟 Mark 一起冲过了终点线。35B 通过这件事情， “我” 明白了什么是残疾人奥运会。make 表示“使成为” 。what引导宾语从句，在宾语从句中作主语。.由于人的个性差异，每个人处理压力的方法是不一样的，而且男人和女人在处理压力方面表现得也不一样。让我们一览文章，去看看这种差别在哪里。36A 推理判断题。从文章第一段可知，性格影响人们处理压力的方式，同时第二段提到了 A 型和 B 型性格的人处理压力的不同方式，第三段提到了男人和女人处理压力的不同方式，由此可知，专家认为人们处理压力的方式是不同的，因人而异，故答案选 A 项。37 D 细节理解题。从文章第二段中的最后三句可知，B 型性格的人对待压力时更倾向于用平和的方式处理，故选 D 项。38B 推理判断题。从第三段中的 “men and women have opposite ways of dealing with stress.”可知，John Gray 意在说明男人和女人处理压力所采取的方式是不同的，所以答案选 B 项。39A 细节理解题。从倒数第二段内容可知，处理压力的方法有很多，如深呼吸、锻炼、健康的饮食等，A 项是文章提到的方法之一。
