首字母原创改编

A

For years and years people in USA have been

saying that the railways are d___1___ . “We can do

without railways.” People say…as if motorcars and

planes have made the railways u___2___ . We all

keep hearing that trains are slow, that they lose

money, and that they’re dying .But this is far from the

truth: in these days of expensive oil, the railways have

become highly competitive with motorcars and planes.

If you are i___3___ to carry people or goods from place to place, they are cheaper than planes.

And they have much in c___4___ with planes. A plane goes in a straight line and so does a railway.

What is more, it takes you from the heart of a city into the heart of another. It doesn’t leave you up

as a plane does, miles and miles from the city center. It doesn’t hold you up as a car does, in

e___5___ traffic jams, and a single train carry goods which no plane or a motorcar could ever do.

Far from being dead, the railways are very much alive. Modern railway lines give you a

s___6___, less troubled journey. Where else can you eat well, sleep in comfort, feel safe and enjoy

the scene while you are traveling at speed at the same time? And we are only at the beginning, for

we have just entered the age of super-fast trains, trains traveling at 150 miles an hour and more.

Soon we will be w___7___ why we spent so much on motorcars we can’t use because we have not

enough money to buy the oil and planes we can’t fly for the same reason.

【答案及解析】

1. dead

后面说我们可以没有铁路，说明铁路没有实用性，也即形象化词汇“铁路已死”

2. unnecessary

make sth+形容词表示让某物怎样，前面说铁路没有实用性，也即说让铁路变得没有必要，用unnecessary

3. intending

考查动词，表示某人想要运送人或物时，intend to do表示想要做，前面有be动词表示现在进行时

后面说了一些飞机和铁路的共同点，have sth in common是固定词组表示有共同点

5. endless

2 / 5

后面说的是开汽车的缺点，这里放在名词交通堵塞前面应该用形容词，endless表示无穷无尽的

6. smooth

后面说不怎么麻烦，联想到前面所说的颠簸，这里想到用smooth表示列车运行平稳

ing

常见宾语从句用if的前面的动词就有wonder表示“好奇，想知道”

【词汇聚焦】

ar n. 汽车

2. competitive adj. 有竞争力的

from 远非

ed adj. 麻烦的

-fast adj.超高速的

【长难句解析】

1. We all keep hearing that trains are slow, that they lose money, and that they’re dying .But

this is far from the truth: in these days of expensive oil, the railways have become highly

competitive with motorcars and planes.

解析：

本句由两个简单句并列而成，句意较抽象。句子大意为我们都一直听说火车很慢，火车在亏损，在消逝，但这远非是事实，如今油价昂贵，铁路和汽车飞机比起来很有竞争优势

【出题方向】

本文是相对来说是学生比较熟悉的话题。全文用词不难，文章篇幅较长。出题考察学生对联系上下文、固定搭配等多方面能力。对于阅读能力有一定的要求。

B

The case for college has been accepted without

question for more than a generation. All high school

graduates ought to go, says conventional wisdom and

statistical evidence, because college will help them earn

more money, become "better" people, and learn to be more

r______1_____ citizens than those who don't go.

But college has never been able to work its m____2______for everyone. And now that close to

3 / 5

half our high school graduates are attending, those who don't f__3__ the pattern are becoming more

numerous, and more obvious. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis; college students

interfere with each other's experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the intense

competition for a_____4____ to graduate school. Other find no stimulation in their studies, and

drop out—often encouraged by college administrators.

Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves—they are spoiled and they

are expecting too much. But that is a condemnation of the students as a whole, and doesn't explain

all campus unhappiness. Others b____5______the state of the world, and they are partly right. We

have been t____6_____ that young people have to go to college because our economy can't absorb

an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no

longer absorb an army of trained twenty-two-year-olds, .

Some adventuresome educators and watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may

not be the best, the proper, the only place for every young person after the completion of high

school. We may have been looking at all those surveys and statistics upside d____7____, it seems,

and through the rosy glow of our own remembered college experiences. Perhaps college doesn't

make people intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, or quick to learn things—may it is just the other

way around, and intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, quick-learning people are merely the ones

who have been a____8_____to college in the first place. And p____9_____ all those successful

college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not. This is

heresy to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good, more has

to be much better. But c_____10______evidence is beginning to mount up.

【答案及解析】

sible

形容词，尽责的。前面说变成更好的人们，然后学会成为更有责任感的公民，后面加形容词。

名词，魔法。后面加名词，但是大学还没有能力对任何人发挥它的魔法。

作为动词，适合。适合即将变多的一个模式。

ion

admission，名词，允许，准许。大学生在进入研究生院的激烈竞争中，互相干扰威胁，并写假的推荐信。4 / 5

动词，指责，责怪。前面说这是年轻人的过错，所以后面另外的人指责世界的现状。

动词，说。现在完成时态的被动语态，所以用过去分词，我们已经被告知。

7. down

统计颠倒，upside down 固定搭配。

ted

快速学习的人，只不过是最先被大学吸引的人。被吸引，过去式。

s

也许所有成功的大学毕业生都能成功，不管他们上了大学没有。

ry

但相反的证据开始增多了。相反的。

【词汇聚焦】

1,generation n.一代人

2， conventional wisdom传统观点

3，numerous adj.很多的，

4，intense competition激烈的竞争

5，heresy n.异端邪说

【长难句解析】

1. And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending, those who don't fit the

pattern are becoming more numerous, and more obvious.

解析：

本句为定语从句，who don't fit the pattern are becoming more numerous, and more

obvious. 修饰those .

句子大意为现在有将近一半的高中毕业生参加，那些不适应这种模式的人越来越多，越来越明显。
