解析：這是一篇觀點闡釋型的作文，要求考生就諺語“欲速則不達”發(fā)表

個人意見。圍繞這一諺語，可以將文章內(nèi)容安排如下：

第1段闡述“欲速則不達”的深層涵義。

第2段舉例證明“欲速則不達”的正確性。

第3段作總結(jié)：做事要細心，有耐心。

［參考譯文］

欲速則不達

通常情況下，如果做事快點，你就可以早點兒完成工作。但并不是總是這

樣。正如一句著名的諺語所說的，欲速則不達，即當(dāng)一個人做事操之過急，會容

易出錯。它告訴了我們耐心利細心的重要性，并督促我們做事要腳踏實地，一步

一步來。

有無數(shù)的證據(jù)足以證明這一說法。例如，建設(shè)一座橋梁是一個巨大的工程,

需要多年的施工。如果我們匆忙完工，可能就會忽略施工過程中的關(guān)鍵步驟，導(dǎo)

致毀滅性的結(jié)果。這也就是為什么我們經(jīng)常聽到這樣的不幸報道：由于提前多時

完工，質(zhì)量太差，橋梁最終倒塌，導(dǎo)致人員傷亡。還有一個很好的例子就是我們

學(xué)英語的親身體驗。如果在讀一篇文章之前，不先記一些常見的詞匯和掌握基本

的語法知識，我們就根本不可能理解它。

我們應(yīng)該高度重視耐心和細心，這是很明智的做法。并且要記住，羅馬不

是一天建成的。

0.cases（分數(shù)：35.50）

1.（分數(shù)：3.55）

填空項1：（正確答案：L）

解析：根據(jù)提示詞an可知，此處需填入以元音開頭的形容詞修飾

accompanimento根據(jù)上下文意思，無聲電影并不是真正的無聲，從一開始，音

樂就被認為是它的伴隨者。從語義上判斷，indispensable（不可缺少的）符合題意。

［參考譯文］雖然我們習(xí)慣于把1927年以前的電影稱作“無聲電影”，可是，

從“無聲”這個詞完整的意義上來說，電影從未真正無聲過。從一開始，音樂就

被認為是電影不可缺少的陪伴物；當(dāng)Lumiere的電影于1896年2月在美國首屆

公映展覽上放映時，它們就有根據(jù)流行曲調(diào)即席演奏的鋼琴曲伴奏了。最初，所

演奏的音樂與電影沒有任何特殊的關(guān)系，隨便有什么音樂伴奏都可以。然而，沒

過多久，用活潑的音樂給嚴肅的電影伴奏所產(chǎn)生的不協(xié)調(diào)感己經(jīng)非常明顯，于是

電影鋼琴家開始費心考慮使他們演奏的樂曲與電影的氣氛相配。

隨著電影院越來越多、越來越重要，在某些情況下，除了鋼琴師之外還會

增加一位小提琴手，或許還會有一位大提琴手一起來伴奏；在一些大一點的電影

院還組建了小型樂隊。在很長一段時間內(nèi)，為每部電影選擇配曲完全是由樂隊指

揮或者樂隊長掌握的，而通常的情況下，獲得此類職位的主要條件與其說是看誰

的演奏技藝嫻熟、音樂品味高，倒不如說是看誰擁有的樂曲店大。因為樂隊指揮

通常是要等到放映之前的一個晚上才能看到電影（如果他真的有幸能夠在這個時

候看到的話），所以電影音樂通常都是在最倉促的情況下即席演奏的。

2.（分數(shù)：3.55）

填空項1：（正確答案：C）

解析：此處需要過去分詞，與were和by構(gòu)成被動語態(tài)。上文提到音樂是

電影的accompaniment,由此可知此處指的是用鋼琴為電影“伴奏”，故選擇復(fù)

現(xiàn)詞accompaniedo

3.（分數(shù)：3.55）

填空項1：（正確答案：I）

解析：此處需要動詞過去式作謂語。本句的意思是最初的電影伴奏音樂與

電影并沒有特別的關(guān)系，符合條件的動詞中bore能與relationship搭配，為最佳

選擇。bearnorelationshipto意為“與...無關(guān)

4.（分數(shù)：3.55）

填空項1：（正確答案：A）

解析：此處需要形容詞，作表語解釋說明主語accompanimento上文說到

起初音樂與電影沒有什么特別的關(guān)系，由此可推斷這里指任一種伴奏音樂都可以,

故選擇sufficiento

5.（分數(shù)：3.55）

填空項1：（正確答案：K）

解析：此處需要形容詞，修飾film。根據(jù)本句的incongruity（不協(xié)調(diào)），可知

該形容詞應(yīng)與修飾music的形容詞lively形成對比，故答案為solemn（嚴肅的）。

注意severe通常指事態(tài)的后果“嚴重的”，或某人“嚴格的”，而不能用來指電

影風(fēng)格。

6.（分數(shù):3.55）

填空項1：（正確答案：E）

解析：此處需要動名詞作in的賓語，且能與to搭配。上文說到音樂格調(diào)與

電影內(nèi)容不協(xié)調(diào)，本句的beganto表明該詞在語義上應(yīng)與“不協(xié)調(diào)”相反，故選

擇matching。accord表示“與...一致”時,通常與with搭配，而不與to搭配,

所以此處可以排除accordingo

7.（分數(shù)：3.55）

填空項1：（正確答案：0）

解析：此處需要名詞，且能與介詞in構(gòu)成固定搭配。詞庫中的名詞在搭配

和意義上都符合要求的是cases,incertaincases意為“在某些情況下“。occasions

通常與on搭配。

8.（分數(shù)：3.55）

填空項1：（正確答案：F）

解析：此句需要動詞過去式充當(dāng)句子謂語。根據(jù)句子的意思，在當(dāng)時為電

影選擇配曲完全由指揮或樂隊長來決定，故選rested。restinthehandsof是固定

搭配，相當(dāng)于restwith,意為“在于，歸屬于二

9.（分數(shù)：3.55）

填空項1：（正確答案：J）

解析：此處需要能與f。「搭配的名詞，作句子的主語。根據(jù)表語成分skill,

taste,結(jié)合forholdingsuchaposition等關(guān)鍵詞,可以推斷此處空格應(yīng)為“（擁有

該職位的主要）資格條件”之義，因此填入qualification。

10.（分數(shù)：3.55）

填空項1：（正確答案：G）

解析：此句結(jié)構(gòu)完整，可以判斷需要填入副詞修飾wasimprovised。根據(jù)句

意，樂隊指揮通常是要等到電影放映之前的一個晚上才能看到（如果可能的話），

因此，時間應(yīng)該“通?！倍己軅}促，選normally。此處并沒有出現(xiàn)對比情況，所

以comparatively（相對地）可以排除。
