41、. remembering D. recognizing34A. useful B. useless C. limited D. enough35A. health B. reason C. wealth D. excuse答案与解析 语篇解读 本文为哲理性的记叙文，通过讲述一个小故事来说明积累的重要性。虽然平时的积累看起来可能是毫无意义的，但是它在最后能够12给人带来意想不到的收益，所以我们要养成积累的好习惯。16B 根据上一句的语气及 useless 推出这里为 complaints“抱怨” 。17D 根据文章前两句我们可以推出这是老师从学生们那里听到的最普遍的抱怨之一，老师和学生是相对应
42、的，所以这里用 students。18A 从下文可以看出这是一个完整的故事，所以用 story。19C 考查动词辨析。联系空后的 to 可推出： decide to“决定” ； hope to“希望” ； refuse to“拒绝” ，只有 prepare to do sth.(准备做某事)，符合题意。一群牧民在一整天的旅途后，很疲惫，准备搭帐篷(休息) 。20C 根据下文语境 a bunch of bright light 可以推出他们“被光束包围” ，故选 surrounded。21A 根据前面的 looking forward to“(高兴地)盼望；期待” ，我们可以推出牧民们带着极大的
43、期望，盼望上帝能够给他们带来财富(第五段也有提示) 。所以 expectation 最符合题意。22B 根据上下文可知此处表示在天亮之前，所以用 before。23B the number of“的数目” ； the amount of“的数量(修饰不可数名词) ”，而 a bit of“少量(修饰不可数名词)”都不符合题意，所以只有 a lot of“许多”正确。24D 考查情态动词。根据上文 maybe 我们可以推出这里是表示不太有把握的判断，所以用 may 或 might。25A 考查动词辨析，根据上下文我们可以推出上帝应该是消失，不见了，所以用 disappeared。26D 根据下文
44、语境可以看出他们的期待( 上帝给他们带来财富)与现实(捡鹅卵石) 相差很远，所以用 disappointed“失望的” 。27D 根据上文语境，尤其是第一段的 useless 可知，这些牧民认为捡鹅卵石没有什么用处，所以用 meaningless。28C in all “总共；总计 ”； at all“根本；全然” ； after all“毕竟；终究” ； above all“首先 ”，根据语境可知此处表示 “这毕竟是上帝的意愿”，所以用 after all。29A 这里是 as 引导的让步状语从句，注意 as 引导让步状语从句时必须要倒装。30B 根据第四段中的 collect，我们可以推出
45、这里用 picking over“用心挑选；筛选 ”。31A examine “检查” ； search“寻找” ； seek“寻找” ； watch“观看” 。根据语境 “当他们查看这些鹅卵石的时候，发现它们都变成了钻石”可知，examining 正确。32A 根据语境“鹅卵石变成了钻石” ，故用 turn into“变为” ，而turn out“结果是” ； turn over“翻转”和 turn up“出现，音量开大” ，都不符合语境。1433A 根据上文第四段最后一句上帝告诉他们说他们可能会后悔可推出他们“后悔”没有多捡一些鹅卵石。前面的 sorry 也是提示。34B 根据下文 lik
46、e pebbles 可知，此处是把知识比作鹅卵石，认为知识和鹅卵石一样无用，故选 B 项。35C 根据文中的小故事可知，那些看起来无用的积累最后可能变成巨大的财富(wealth)。第二节 语法填空(共 10 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 15 分)阅读下面短文，在空格处填入适当的内容(每空不多于三个单词) 或使用括号中单词的正确形式填空，并将答案填写在相应位置上。Mike: Hello, Nancy.
