【語篇概述】本文記敘作者10歲時的一次理發(fā)經(jīng)歷,從此認識到言語的力量,不能隨意拿別人的職業(yè)來開玩笑。1.A.leftB.openedC.joinedD.visited【解析】選C。由下文可知,理發(fā)師的助手跟我不熟悉,應該是最近到店工作的。joined加入。left離開;opened開門,開張;visited拜訪,故選C。2.A.much B.long C.often D.soon【解析】選B。根據(jù)第三段理發(fā)師伯伯跟我開玩笑說“WhatifIkeepitlong?”可知,他這里應該是問我想把頭發(fā)剪到多長。howlong多長;howmuch多少;howoften多頻繁;howsoon多快。3.A.instructed B.invitedC.promised D.convinced【解析】選A。句意:按照我爸爸上次吩咐你的那樣理。instruct指示,命令;invite邀請;promise承諾;convince說服,使確信。4.A.discussion B.journeyC.training D.haircut【解析】選D。由本文內(nèi)容可知,本文講的是理發(fā)的事。句意:在他開始理發(fā)之前。discussion討論;journey路程;training訓練,均不符合語境。5.A.agreed B.heardC.hoped D.knew【解析】選D。這里強調(diào)的是“我知道伯伯在開玩笑”,所以接下來才以一個玩笑來回應。heard聽到;hoped希望;agreed同意。6.A.forget B.tolerateC.guarantee D.understand【解析】選C。句意:我可不能保證那時你的理發(fā)店會發(fā)生什么事情!forget忘記;tolerate忍受;understand理解。7.A.urged B.shoutedC.laughed D.helped【解析】選B。句意:我說出口的那一刻,理發(fā)師助理就從后面大聲說道,“你怎么敢這么說!你是誰能夠打倒我們?”urged催促;laughed笑;helped幫助。跟我并不熟悉的店員覺得我這樣說是太大膽了,不夠尊重人,所以就沖我大聲說出了那句話。8.A.angry B.proudC.scared D.curious【解析】選C。根據(jù)下一段中的...stoppedjokingaboutanyone’sprofessionandworks可知,當時只有10歲的作者看到理發(fā)師助理如此反應而感到害怕(scared)。9.A.anxious B.appealingC.encouraging D.awkward【解析】選D。從接下來的一段話可知,因為我兇巴巴的樣子,理發(fā)師伯伯感覺有些尷尬(awkward)。anxious焦慮;appealing有吸引力的,懇求的;encouraging鼓勵的。結合上文選項解釋,awkward才符合文意。10.A.suddenly B.completelyC.temporarily D.regularly【解析】選B。句意:從那天起我就完全不再拿其他人的職業(yè)和作品來開玩笑了。suddenly突然地;temporarily暫時地;regularly經(jīng)常。只有completely才能表達作者的確吸取教訓,“完全”停止開玩笑的意思。11.A.important B.excitingC.strange D.interesting【解析】選A。根據(jù)后面定語從句中的taught可知,這件事情讓我認識到要尊重他人,因此是“重要的”。12.A.learn B.enterC.change D.respect【解析】選D。句意:這件事教會我要尊重別人的職業(yè)和作品,不管他們(的身份)多么卑微。learn學習;enter進入;change改變。13.A.hard B.smallC.good D.complex【解析】選B。small細小,地位低下。hard困難的,努力的;good好的;complex復雜的。結合上文選項解釋,small符合邏輯。14.A.sorry B.confidentC.grateful D.embarrassed【解析】選C。句意:我感激那位助理回應的方式,這讓我重新思考話語的力量。sorry遺憾,傷心的;confident自信的;embarrassed尷尬的。15.A.difference B.mistakeC.choice D.joke【解析】選A。makeadifference指“有作用或影響”,為固定搭配?！霸捳Z確實可以產(chǎn)生很大影響”,這是我的體會。makeamistake犯錯誤;makeachoice做出選擇;makeajoke開玩笑。Ⅳ.語法填空(2021·張家口高二檢測)“Cultureshock”isthename1.___________(give)bypeopletothefeelingofdiscomfortandconfusion2.usuallyoccurswhensomeonegoesintoanewanddifferentculture.Unfamiliarsocialcustoms,values,weather,changesindietcanallcontribute3.physicalandemotionaldiscomfort.4.(accept)thisasanormalprocesshelpstoeasethefeeling.Toovercomethefeeling,weencourageyou5.___________(speak)withfellowstudentsorteachersaboutanychallengesyoumaybeexperiencingas6.___________resultofcultureshock.Forexample,Americanculturevaluestimeasaresource,placinggreatemphasisonpunctuality(準時).Theyspendtimealmostasifit7.___________(be)money,soitisimportanttoarriveontime.Additionally,manyinternationalstudentsare8.___________(surprise)attheAmericanlearningstyle.USprofessorsexpectstudentstoaskquestionsandvoicetheir9.___________(opinion).And,donothesitatetovisityourprofessorduringhisorherofficehoursifyouarenotclearaboutamaterial.10.___________youspeakup,professorswillassumethatyouunderstand.
