七夕,古今诗人惯咏星月与悲情。吾生虽晚,世态炎凉却已看透矣。情也成空,且作“挥手袖底风”罢。是夜,窗外风雨如晦,吾独坐陋室,听一曲《尘缘》,合成诗韵一首,觉放诸古今,亦独有风韵也。乃书于纸上。毕而卧。凄然入梦。乙酉年七月初七。
-----啸之记。

第一节:单项选择(共15 小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
从A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
21. —Did you have a good time in Thailand last week?
— ______, it was too hot.
A. Not really B. Yeah, why not C. Oh, great D. You’re right
答案:A.从回答句中后半句说“太热了”,可以推测出在泰国玩的不太好,所以BCD可以被排除掉,A的意思是“并不是这样”。
22. Peter ______ be really difficult at times even though he’s a nice person in general.
A. shall B. should C. can D. must
答案:C.difficult,“难的,不随和的,执拗的”,在本句中的意思“Peter尽管大体上是个不错的人,但是有时候他也是会不随和的(或是执拗的)”。根据意思选择。
23. We first met on a train in 2000. We both felt immediately that we ______ each other for years.
A. knew B. have known C. had known D. know
答案:C.过去完成时态,表示过去的动作对现在的影响,强调现在的状态。“我们第一次是在2000年相遇在一列火车上,我们两人都瞬间感觉我们那是好像已经相识了好多年了(似曾相识的感觉)。”一般涉及到“已经”的意思都会选择完成时态,这里强调的是从以前到相识那时候这段时间,即“过去的过去”,所以用过去完成时态!
24. My neighbor asked me to go for ______ walk, but I don’t think I’ve got ______ energy.
A. a; 不填 B. the; the C. 不填;the D. a; the
答案:D.“我的邻居告诉我去散散步,但是我觉得我已经没有去散步的那个精力了”,go for a walk是固定用法,“散步,出去走走”,“去散步的那个精力”特指的“散步的精力”。
25. You have to be a fairly good speaker to ______ listeners’ interest for over an hour.
A. hold B. make C. improve D. receive
答案:A.“你不得不做一个相当好的演讲者去吸引(或者保持)听众的兴趣一个小时以上”,根据句意选择,make“制作,使……”improve“提高”receive“获得,得到”hold“握住,把持住”。
26. —Could you tell me how to get to Victoria Street?
—Victoria Street? ______ is where the Grand Theatre is.
A. Such B. There C. That D. This
答案:C.that用于指代上文提到过的,this用于指代下文将要说的,there be句型表示“有”,显然B可以排除,如果用such的话后一个“is”不能有,此题是区别this和that。

A. to stop B. stopping C. to have stopped D. having stopped
答案:B.“他忙于写一个故事,只是一会儿歇一次去抽根烟”,用“stopping”动名词做伴随状语。
