三、同义、近义名词的辨析

名词的同义、近义辨析常灵活地设题于单项填空、完形填空、短文改错题型中，考查对名词的含义和用法的准确掌握。在考生备考时要归纳整理易错易混的同义、近义名词，如：cause，reason，excuse；accident， incident，event，affair；family，house，home。

第二部分 阅读理解（第一节共10小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

A

During my high school years， the most important thing was what I was wearing for the Friday night dance and who I was taking to. Although college was talked about， it was the least of my worries.

When I was graduating eighth grade and starting high school， my older brother was graduating twelfth grade and going onto college. For my graduation， he gave me a card in which he wrote， “Enjoy your four years， they go by fast.” I remember not believing him then， but looking back， he was right. Those four years shaped who I was as a person， pushed me to my limit and encouraged me to become an adult.

However， I was so completely absorbed in my junior and senior years of high school， that when someone spoke of college I brushed it off（置之不理）. I wasn’t ready to leave my comfort zone of having all of my closest friends together and knowing what every single day was going to be like. Studying was something I did during the half time of dance performance. I knew my parents wanted me to go to college， so I told them I would go to community college（社区学院）and I didn’t worry about my SAT scores.

When my senior year passed and everyone graduated and went off to their own college， I started to wish I had done the same. My friends were living away， meeting new people， discovering new places， and I was living at home and driving to and from class every day. It seemed exactly like high school. I hated it. I thought college was supposed to be different！ Why didn’t I take more time to research colleges and do the same？ I ended up loving college and wishing I had four years to enjoy the campus（大学校园）atmosphere instead of two.

My advice to anyone thinking about attending college is to think about it very seriously and look into all of your choices well ahead of time. Now I have graduated and I am working full time and I would do anything to go back to my high school

days for a second chance！

36. Why didn’t the author worry about his SAT scores？

A. He wanted to go to community college.

B. He had been admitted for his gift in dance.

C. He was well prepared for the exam.

D. He believed his brother would help him.

37. When in high school， the author ___ .

A. drove to and from class every day

B. buried himself in his study all the time

C. enjoyed talking about future college life

D. lived in the school except on holidays

38. What did the author’s brother mean by “Enjoy your four years， they go by fast”？

A. He wished the author to have more dance.

B. He advised the author to value the years.

C. He encouraged the author to leave his comfort zone.

D. He suggested the author aim at a community college.

B

Parents whose children show a special interest in a particular sport feel very difficult to make a decision about their children’s careers. Should they allow their children to train to become top sportsmen or sportswomen？ For many children it means starting school work very young， and going out with friends and other interests have to take a second place. It’s very difficult to explain to a young child why he or she has to train five hours a day， even at the weekend， when most of his or her friends are playing.

Another problem is of course money. In many countries， money for training is available from government for the very best young sportsmen and sportswomen. If this help cannot be given， it means that it is the parents who have to find the time and the money to support their child’s development and sports clothes， transport to competitions， special equipment， etc. They can all be very expensive.

Many parents are worried that it is dangerous to start serious training in a sport at an early age. Some doctors agree that young muscles may be damaged by training before they are properly developed. Professional trainers， however， believe that it is only by training young that you can reach the top as a successful sports person. It is clear that very few people do reach the top， and both parents and children should be prepared for failure even after many years of training.

39. This article is most probably taken from ___ .

A. a letterB. an advertisement

C. a personal diaryD. a newspaper

40. According to the passage， parents whose children show a special interest in sport ___ .

A. feel uncertain if they should let their children train to be sportsmen or sportswomen

B. try to get financial support from the government for their children’s training

C. have to get medical advice from doctors about training methods

D. prefer their children to be trained as young as possible

41. Which of the following statements is true？

A. By starting training very young， the children will have more experience.

As one climbs the ladder of success， education plays a most important role. General Electric understands this importance and through its educational publications attempts to answer questions young people who try to climb the ladder commonly raise： Why should I stick to my studies？ Why should I work？ Why should I study English？ Why should I read？

Even those students who have to leave school and find work can advance—if they keep on learning， and make up for the advantages missed by leaving school. The person， however， who sticks to his studies and prepares himself for a particular skill starts out on the job with an advantage over the school dropout（缀学）. When a person is being interviewed for a job， he is almost always asked： What subjects did you take？ How well did you do in them？ For a person’s school record and his attitude towards education usually show what he will do on the job.

Work is the meat and potatoes of the meal of life. But more than these， satisfying work makes a person know that he is worthwhile. The work that a student does both inside and outside the classroom prepares him for his career. Good school marks， healthy involvement in activities after class， and summer or part—time work experience make an unbeatable student record.

The ability to express ideas in writing and in speaking heads the list of requirements for success. A good command of English and knowledge of good literature are marks of an educated person. What a person writes and what he says determine in part how fast he can climb up the success ladder.

Reading is our most important means of learning. We gain information by reading and by being able to understand what we read. Self—education is largely reading. Reading puts us “in the know”， and we can listen wisely and hold our own in speaking. Almost all that is worth knowing is in the words， and the more of these words we put into our minds， the more our minds can hold.

43. The passage is mainly about ___ .

A. why General Electric considers education important

B. why one should work

C. how one can succeed as a student

D. what General Electric requires of its workers

44. General Electric believes that those who work without enough schooling ___ .

A. have to go back and make up for the lessons

B. can succeed if they keep on learning

C. must have their special skills for their jobs

D. will find it difficult to climb up the success ladder

45. A person who is being interviewed for a job is asked about his education because ___ .

A. it is important to his success

B. he has to show he has certain advantages over others

C. a good school will make a big difference

D. his school record tells what job he will be able to do well

第二节 下面文章中有5处（第46～50题）需要添加小标题。请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。

A. A sense of humour is not an inborn ability.

B. A sense of humour can be developed in our life.

C. A sense of humour helps us from several aspects.

D. A sense of humour means more than telling jokes.

E. A sense of humour can be expressed in many ways.

F. A sense of humour helps people to better enjoy life.

46. _______________

As awareness of the benefits of humour increases， most of us want to get all the laughs we can. It seems that almost every day there is another new discovery about the power of humour to help us physically， emotionally， and spiritually. Every system of the body reacts to laughter in some important or positive way.

47. _______________

Many people mistakenly believe that we are born with a sense of humour. They think that when it comes to a sense of humour， “either you have got it or you don’t”. This is 1！ What is true， however， is that the ability to laugh and smile is actually something we are born with. For example， we laugh when we are tickled（胳肢）under the arm， even without thinking about how to react.

48. _______________

The parts of the brain and central nervous system that control laughing and smiling are mature at birth in human babies， but that is not the same thing as having a sense of humour. （After all， when a baby laughs in his small bed we don’t rush over and say， “That kid has a great sense of humour！”） Your sense of humour is something you can develop over a lifetime. Don’t be nervous before others and try to laugh at yourself—then you will make them laugh too.

49. _______________

Humour includes a lot more than laughing and joke telling. Many people worry needlessly that they do not have a good sense of humour because they are not good joke tellers. More than jokes， a sense of humour requires being willing and able to see the funny side of life’s situations as they happen. In fact， one of the best definitions（定义）of a sense of humour is “the ability to see the nonserious part in a situation.”

50. _______________

There may be a thousand different ways to express your sense of humour， but joke telling is only one of those ways. As more is discovered about how humour benefits our life， more people will be able to see and enjoy the humour when they are in a difficult situation. Life depends on air， food and water， but it is made easier to live with a good sense of humour.
