Question

My mind seems always to return to the day when I met Carl. The city bus stopped at a corner to        the passengers(乘客).1 was included. After getting on the bus, I looked for a place to sit. At last, I found a seat near the back.
The passenger of the        next to the one I was going for was an old man in a grey suit. Seated myself, I began to read the book I had been carrying which was Jack Kerouac's On the Road. The man in the seat next to me introduced himself by asking if I       any other book like the one I was holding. When I told him I had, he seemed to become       and so did I. He said he was Carl. And asked if I like jazz(爵士樂),and l told him that I didn't really listen to it and that I like rock and roll. Waiting for Carl to tell me that I         listen to real music, I was shocked when he just smiled and nodded. He said, "You         me of myself when I was your age. I remember how my parents hated jazz, how they couldn't see how I could listen to that terrible noise. I bet your parents say the same thing, don't they?" Now it was my       to smile and nod.
As the bus took us from one side of the city to the' other, Carl and I talked about a lot of different things. The more we talked, the more amazed I became at         the two of us really had in common, although we had the       difference. I haven't seen him        we parted, but the thought of our relationship that day never leaves my mind.

試題分析：這篇短文是作者回憶他和Carl第一次見面的事情。有一次作者乘坐公共汽車，碰巧坐在了Carl 的旁邊。兩個人開始聊起天來，讓作者很吃驚的是，雖然他們的年齡相差很大，但是他和Carl有很多共同之處。在那之后，他們再也沒有見過面，但是作者從沒有忘記那一天。
小題1:考查動詞及語境的理解。句意：城市的公交車在拐角處停下來接乘客，我也在其中。take up 從事，拿起；pick up 拾起，撿起，接某人；put up 搭建，張貼；turn up 將聲音調(diào)大，出現(xiàn)。根據(jù)文意可知，公共汽車停下來是讓乘客們上車，故應(yīng)該是pick up，接某人的意思。故選B。
小題2:考查名詞及語境的理解。句意：我旁邊的座位上的乘客是一個穿著灰色套裝的老人。seat 座位；bus 公共汽車；city 城市；book 書。這個空的前面是the passenger，即乘客，因為這個故事發(fā)生在公交車上，所以這里是說作者想坐的座位旁邊的座位上的乘客，故選A。
小題3:考查動詞及語境的理解。句意：坐在我座位旁邊的那個男士做了一個自我介紹，問我是否讀過跟我手里拿的書一類的其他書籍。本題考查時態(tài)，瀏覽短文我們可知，這篇短文描述的這件事是過去發(fā)生的，而這里那個男的又問我以前有沒有讀過類似的書，故應(yīng)該是過去之前發(fā)生的事，即過去的過去，應(yīng)用過去完成時。A是一般現(xiàn)在時；B是過去進行時；C是過去完成時；D是過去將來時。故選C。
小題4:考查形容詞及語境的理解。句意：當我說我讀過的時候，他好像變得很感興趣，我也一樣。worried 擔心的；silent 沉默的；interested 感興趣的；bored無聊的。根據(jù)下文可知，作者和這個男士就此聊了起來，他們有很多共同之處，所以那個男士對作者很感興趣。故選C。
小題5:考查情態(tài)詞及語境的理解。句意：我以為Carl會告訴我我應(yīng)該聽真正的音樂，但是，我很吃驚他只是笑了笑，點了點頭。mustn’t 禁止，不要；shouldn’t 不應(yīng)該；must 必須；should 應(yīng)該。由上文可知I didn't really listen to it，作者沒有真正的聽這種音樂，所以A、B不對；作者以為那位男士會建議他去聽真正的音樂，這是一種建議，而不是必須這樣做，故選D。
小題6:考查動詞及語境的理解。句意：你讓我想起了你這個年齡的我。remember 記得，不能和后面的of 組成短語；warn sb. of sth. 警告某人某事；make 使，制作，不能和of 組成短語；remind sb. of sth. 使某人想起某事。這里看到作者，那位男士想起了自己小的時候。故選D。
小題7:考查名詞及語境的理解。句意：現(xiàn)在輪到我微笑點頭了。由上文可知，當作者說他喜歡搖滾而不停爵士樂的時候，那位男士 just smiled and nodded 只是微笑著點了點頭，那這里是輪到作者微笑點頭了。It is one’s turn to do sth. 輪到某人做某事。time 時間；day 白天，日；honor 榮譽。根據(jù)文意可知選A。
小題8:考查連詞及語境的理解。句意：我們談得越多，我就越驚奇，我們之間有這么多相同之處。這里how much 引導(dǎo)的是一個賓語從句，放在at 后做賓語。why 為什么；where 哪里；how 怎樣。根據(jù)句意可知選D。
小題9:考查名詞及語境的理解。句意：雖然我們有著年齡的差別。根據(jù)上文next to the one I was going for was an old man in a grey suit可知，挨著作者的這個人是一個老人，所以作者和他之間有著年齡的差距。故選B。race 種族；sex 性別；color顏色，這三項都沒提到。
小題10:考查連詞及語境的理解。句意：從我們分手后，我再也沒有見過他。after 在……之后；when 當……時候；since 自從；before在……之前。根據(jù)句意可知是兩人自從分手后就再也沒見過，故選C。
