Question

Signs can sometimes be seen at the entrance of a house, expressing that a tramp（流浪漢） has passed. This special sign-language is frequently   36  by tramps to inform their  37  whether the host of a certain house is friendly or unfriendly, and to  38  them the trouble of making unnecessary calls.

Quite  39  one day, I came across a real tramp. He was such a rare sight these days that I stood some distance away and watched him. He was dressed just as a tramp should be  40 , old worn trousers, and a jacket many sizes too big for him. On his head there was a battered old hat and his boots were so old and worn; they were almost coming into   41 . But the man himself looked cheerful as if he had not been a   42  in the world. He rubbed his nose with his forefinger,  43  a funny turn, laid a small parcel by the front gate, and began   44  a sign made by a former caller. Although the sign was meaningless to me, it must have been   45 , for the tramp’s face lit up with  46 . He entered the front gate confidently and rang the bell. When the door opened, I saw him   47  his hat but couldn’t hear his words. The  48  was very short indeed, for no sooner had he spoken a few words than the door closed fiercely in his face. I felt  49  for him as he walked   50  out of the house, But just as quickly, his face lit up again and he moved quickly towards the gate. There he stopped, looked at the sign, and   51  his head seriously as if he had made a bad mistake.   52 deeply into his pockets, he produced a piece of chalk, rubbed out the  53  sign and made a new one in its place. He stared at it for a moment smiling to himself, then gathered his  54 , pushed back his hat and began walking towards the next house at an unhurried  55 , whistling as he went along.

【解析】

試題分析：流浪漢們常將他們所使用的特殊符號畫在住戶的墻上，告知同行這家主人是否友好，可否去拜訪．本文講述一個(gè)流浪漢根據(jù)符號的指引去一戶人家乞討，結(jié)果卻吃了閉門羹．后來他發(fā)現(xiàn)是符號錯(cuò)了。

1.A employ使用。這種特殊的符號常被流浪漢用來告知同行是否可以進(jìn)入該戶人家乞討。put up張貼，據(jù)下文，符號是畫在墻上，故不可選。B、c兩項(xiàng)不合文意．

2.C 據(jù)上下文是指告知同行。同行不一定都是朋友，故排除D項(xiàng)。

3.B 據(jù)上文知，有了這種符號，流浪漢們就可省下做一些不必要的拜訪的麻煩，故選B。put，give與文童矛盾；且put搭配不當(dāng)；spare詞義不對。

4.D 短語辨析。A在某種程度上B錯(cuò)誤C隨便說一下D偶然；從后半句came across得知為巧遇by chance。

5.B be dressed in穿著……的衣服。本句意為“他的穿著正像一個(gè)流浪漢，破舊的褲子，大得極不相稱的夾克”。

6.C come into pieces指流浪漢衣衫檻樓，幾乎“成為碎片”。

7.C care此處為名詞，意為“憂慮”。流浪漢對自己的窘境似乎并不感到憂慮。failure失敗，屬于“傷心事”之列。

8.D 動詞辨析。A給B得到C設(shè)立D進(jìn)行，做；意為“滑稽地轉(zhuǎn)了一個(gè)圈”。

9.D 據(jù)上下文知這里是“研究”，“仔細(xì)看”那個(gè)符號，想弄清它代表的意思。

10.D 指符號有幫助favorable，提供了好消息。

11.B 對從中得到的好消息很滿意，估計(jì)自己會討到東西。

12.C raise one’s hat="take" one’s hat off to sb. 脫帽(把帽于舉一下)致敬。

13.A 名詞辨析。A對話B介紹C爭吵D問候；流浪漢與主人之間的談話。

14.D 形容詞辨析。A開心B害怕C擔(dān)憂D難受；看到他悲傷地走出來，我為他感到難過。

15.B 副詞辨析。A高興B悲哀C勇敢D急切；吃了閉門羹之后情緒低落，悲傷。

16.C 動詞辨析。A揮手B搖擺C搖頭D點(diǎn)頭；其他選項(xiàng)詞義不當(dāng)。

17.A 動詞辨析。A挖B偷C放D看；把手插到口袋里去找東西。

18.D 形容詞辨析。A出現(xiàn)的B移動的C閃亮的D存在的；把現(xiàn)存符號擦去，再畫一個(gè)新符號。

19.A 名詞辨析。belongings此處為名詞，指流浪漢攜帶的物品。

20.C pace這里指步伐節(jié)奏．流浪漢邁著不緊不慢的步伐，吹著口哨繼續(xù)往下家去乞討。

考點(diǎn)：考查故事類完型填空

點(diǎn)評：本文講述了流浪漢們乞討的故事。答題前一定要讀懂全文，弄清文章要表達(dá)的思想，注意前后段落之間的關(guān)系。答題中，一定要認(rèn)真分析，注意選項(xiàng)與上下文的關(guān)系，與前后單詞的關(guān)系。對于一時(shí)沒有太大的把握的題可以放到最后再來完成，因?yàn)橛袝r(shí)答案可以從下文內(nèi)容體現(xiàn)出來。答完后再通讀一篇文章，看看所選選項(xiàng)能不能是語句通順，語意連貫。
