一模英语试卷分析

答案：D

动词题。动作发出者是not getting a new CD，后面定义为problem，所以要选择负态度动作，break是唯一选择。change极易误选，但是请牢记change是中性词。此题难，干扰项设置以及前面的make都有极大影响，值得商榷。 55

答案：B

副词题。与动作找关系，相关动作是make。前面是not going to make，转折后当然是

truly make。probably表示有可能的不确定感觉，frequently表示动作频率高次数多，都要排除。rather??只有死记硬背would rather的人才会选吧??

A

How do you feel about watching other people work?

Nothing is more refreshing on a warm summer day than watching someone else work. Right now, I’m sitting on my porch and watching young Beth baling (打捆) the big field on top of the hill. She’

s been haying that field for over ten years. I know: I put her on the tractor when she was just twelve years old.

She picked a great day for baling. It’s not too hot, and there’s a nice breeze. On Monday, when she

cut the field, it was so hot I thought the corn would start popping in the field. Didn’t stop her,

though. She just stuck that big hat on her head, wrapped a wet handkerchief around her neck, and set to

work. I remember when I would have done the same thing.

While I’m here sucking a lemonade, Beth is driving the “hay (干草) train”, a tractor pulling a

A. rather

B. truly

C. probably

D. frequently

baler and an old wagon. You’

d think someone her size would never be able to see over the tractor.

But somehow she manages. When she’s finished, her tracks are very straight. The whole time she’

s haying, that dog of hers is working just as hard, running along beside her like he’s afraid she’

ll drive away without him. Beth sure knew what she was doing when she trained him.

The way the machine works is pure poetry. Each row is pushed into shape. When just enough hay is in a

bale, it is wrapped up and fastened together. A second or so later, the bale comes flying out and into

the old wagon. The person who invented that machine sure was some kind of genius. That’

s not to say it works perfectly. Every once in a while a bale misses the mark, especially when

you are turning the machine at the end of a row. That means, of course, that you have to go back and

pick up those bales and throw them into the wagon. I can remember when Beth’

s mother was her age. She looked an awful lot like Beth does now. Makes a

man proud to see his daughter and granddaughter taking such good care of themselves.

Well, I suppose I should get up and fill this glass again. Not much fun sitting here with an empty glass.

56. We can learn from the passage that at some time in the past the author __________. A. bought the tractor for Beth

B. forced Beth to work at an early age C. worked in the field like Beth D. trained the dog to help Beth work 答案：C

细节题。文章第二段中提到的twelve years old对应题目中的in the past。从

put her on the tractor及第三段的最后一句可以推断出作者当时在地里工作，所以选择C。A选项购买的信息在这里没有提到，B选项是负态度，所以排除。D选项dog的相关信息出现在文章第五段，不但细节内容不对，而且作为第一道细节题位置上也不甚合理。

57. In the eyes of the author, the sight of Beth baling hay is __________. A. uncommon B. beautiful C. unforgettable D. changeable 答案：B

细节题。根据文章开头的refreshing及第六段开头的pure poetry，可以了解整篇文章的正态度， 排除A选项和D选项的中性词。C选项虽然也为正态度，但一般用于事件结束之后，而不用在过程中，所以排除。

58. Before thrown into the wagon, the hay must be __________. A. tied up B. dried up C. cut up D. lined up 答案：A

细节题。文章第六段的第三句话提到题目的into the old wagon。前面的

it is wrapped up and fastened together可以选出同义改写选项A。注意a second or so later体现题目中要求的先后顺序。另外请注意细节题一般情况下文题顺序一致，这样可以减少确定答案位置所需的时间。

59. Who do you think is telling this story? A. Beth’s mother. B. Beth’s father. C. Beth’s grandmother. D. Beth’s grandfather. 答案：D

细节题。根据文章倒数第二段的his daughter and granddaughter直接判断，没有任何难度。 B

If you haven’t heard or seen anything about Road Rage in the last few months, you’ve probably been

avoiding the media. There have been countless stories about this new and scary phenomenon, considered

a type of aggressive driving. You have most likely encountered aggressive driving or Road Rage recently if you drive at all.

While drunk driving remains a critical problem, the facts about aggressive driving are surely as

disturbing. For instance, according to the National Highway Transportation Safety Association,

41,907 people died on the highways last year. Of those deaths, the agency estimates that about two-thirds were caused at least in part by aggressive driving behavior.
