参考答案及解析:
1-5 AABDA 6-10 BDDCB 11-15 DCACB 16-20 ACDBD
1. A“Spaghetti”这个词使他想起了以前吃面条的事,所以用memory。
2. A when引导定语从句,修饰前面的evening,意为“当时”。
3. B 那天晚上作者和其他一些亲属坐在桌边吃AuntPat所做的面条,此时的面条是端到餐桌上了,故用served。serve有“端上(饭菜)”之意。
4. D“在那个时候”或“在那些日子”用in those days。
5. A
6. B作者从未吃过意大利面条,而在座的成年人也都不擅长/没吃过,所以才有下文有关怎样吃意大利面条以及令人发笑的争论。
7. D上句提到没有吃意大利面条的经验,因而大家才会争论怎样吃,所以填arguments。
8. D吃东西的方式和举止要得体,要符合一定的社会文化,所以填socially。
9. C文章开头提到SPaghetti一词使作者想起过去的经历,填suddenly表思绪的突然过渡。
10.B
11.D“把……写下来/记下来”用“put sth.down”。写下这一经历自己欣赏和享用,故用“joy”。
12.C上文说自己要写吃意大利面条的经历,写下来自己留着享用,不给作文老师。作文是要交的,那么就写点别的给他吧。“As for him”可译为“至于他嘛”。
13.A写完那篇文章,到了半夜了(自己还要睡觉),也就没有时间写准备上交的作文了。
14.C别无选择,只好“上交”(原本打算留给自己的)作品。“hand in”是“上交”的意思。上交了但作品还是自己的,故不算放弃。不选A。B和D离题较远。
15. B老师把作文收上去,过了两天发下来,那么这两天老师把作文批改,给分(或定个等级),作文也就是“被给过等级”的作文了。
16. A老师极为欣赏作者的作文,所以把它朗读给全班,故选A。C项有干扰性,但“publicly”与“to the whole class”重复,不可选。
17.C因故事有趣,有人先笑了,接着全班都开怀大笑。
18.D自己的作文得到老师和同学们的欣赏,自然高兴,但不能显露自己的得意,所以填pleasure。
19.B虽尽量不显示自己的得意,但心中还是充满了快乐,因为自己的作品能使人开怀一笑。所以填for,是表原因的并列连词。
20.D从全文可知,使人发出笑声,而不是使人兴奋/满意/思考。排除其他选项。
