　　A

　　One day when I was eating a delicious,juicy apple and took a big bite,I got an apple seed into my mouth.I spat it out into my 　1　.?

　　Instead of throwing it away,I realized I was 　2　 an apple tree in the palm of my hand.It was a little seed with the 　3　 to become a tree that could grow 　4　 of apples in its lifetime.Thousands of apples—each 　5　 several seeds,and each will 　6　 a new tree which again could produce thousands of apples.?

　　It is a 　7　 of nature that only a few of these seeds grow.Most 　8　 do or are destroyed early in their 　9　.?

　　And it came to my mind that it’s quite often so with people’s 　10　.Wonderful ideas come to our minds but they die too 　11　—we don’t tend to the little trees;we don’t protect them 　12　 we should.And then one day we wonder what happened to our dreams—why did they never 　13　 true??

　　Like planting an apple tree,our dreams might take many 　14　 to get a good job.You might send your manuscript out two hundred times 　15　 it was accepted.You might 　16　 dozens of people until you met the true friend.But if you kept on 　17　 the seeds of your dream,one day you would 　18　.?

　　I held the seed and took an empty flower pot,poured some 　19　 into it and planted the seed.Maybe one day it would grow into a proud 　20　.I’d never know if I didn’t try.?

　　【語篇導讀】作者在吃蘋果時,咬到了一粒蘋果籽,并把它種到了土里,希望它能長成蘋果樹。由此作者聯想到了一個人生哲理:夢想如同小小的蘋果籽,需要無數次地播種才有可能成真。

　　1.A.lifeB.pot

　　C.mouth D.hand

　　解析:由下段中的throwing...away“扔掉……”及in the palm of my hand “在我的手掌心里”可知這里應該是指把蘋果籽吐到了手里,故選D項。life “生活”,pot “罐”,mouth “嘴”,均不符合上下文語境,故排除。

　　答案:D

　　2.A.throwing B.planting

　　C.holding D.picking

　　解析:上一句說到把蘋果籽吐到了手里,本句前面說沒有throwing away “扔掉”,因此這里應該是意識到手掌心里握著一棵蘋果樹才符合邏輯,故選C項。throw “扔”,說反了,排除。plant “種植”,pick “摘”,均不符合語境,故排除。

　　答案:C

　　3.A.ability B.wish

　　C.possibility D.effort

　　解析:這粒蘋果籽有可能成為一棵蘋果樹。with the possibility of “有……的可能性”,符合句意,故選C項。with the ability of “有……的能力”,with the wish of “有……的愿望”,with the effort “努力……”,都不符合語境,故排除A、B、D三項。

　　答案:C

　　4.A.thousands B.hundreds

　　C.dozens D.scores

　　解析:根據下一句中的thousands of apples可知,本空應該選A項才符合上下文語境。其他三項沒有依據,故排除。

　　答案:A

　　5.A.produces B.contains

　　C.needs D.creates

　　解析:作者在這里要表達的意思是:每棵蘋果樹都可以結成千上萬個蘋果,而每個蘋果中又含有若干粒種子。因此本空選擇B項,指每個蘋果里面含有(contain)若干粒種子。produce “生產”,need “需要”,create “創造”,三項均不符合語境,故排除。

　　答案:B

　　6.A.collect B.grow

　　C.spread D.place

　　解析:每個蘋果里都有若干粒種子,而每粒種子也都能長成(grow)一棵新的樹。種子不能執行collect(收集)這個動作,也不是散播(spread)出去,更不是place(放置),三個詞放在此處不合文意。故選B項。

　　答案:B

　　7.A.rule B.wonder

　　C.result D.success

　　解析:it是形式主語,真正的主語是后面that引導的主語從句。這里是說,無數的蘋果籽中只有幾粒種子能夠長成樹,這是大自然的一種法則(rule),而不是奇跡(wonder),當然也不應該是大自然的一種結果(result)或者大自然的成功(success)。故選A項。

　　答案:A

　　8.A.will B.never

　　C.often D.sometimes

　　解析:此句如果理解錯誤很容易導致選擇出現偏差,此處的do代指上文的grow,因此本句意為大多數種子根本就不會生長,如果選will則意為大多數都會生長,選often意為大多數經常生長,選sometimes則意為大多數種子有時會生長,這三項意思都與上文的意義相悖。故選B項。

　　答案:B

　　9.A.production B.place

　　C.growth D.lifetime

　　解析:此空意義承接上文,指大多數種子都不會生長,或者在成長的初期就被毀掉。production “產量”,place “地點”,lifetime “一生”,三項均不符合上下文語境。故選C項。

　　答案:C

　　10.A.apples B.lives

　　C.minds D.dreams

　　解析:這里作者開始將蘋果籽的境況和人們的夢想相對比。It’s quite often so with people’s...意為“這(蘋果籽的境遇)和人們的……非常相似”。根據下文可知,作者在對比人們的夢想,故選D項。

　　答案:D

　　11.A.often B.soon

　　C.late D.fast

　　解析:這句是說人們經常會有很精彩的想法出現在腦海里,但很快就會消失。此處選擇soon表示人們的想法來得快,去得也快,和下文的don’t protect相呼應。如果選fast,此處的die只能是“死”的意思,而其他兩個選項都不能用來修飾die,語意不通。故選B項。

　　答案:B

　　12.A.as B.because

　　C.unless D.if

　　解析:根據句意可知,此處表達的意思是我們沒有像我們應該做的那樣保護小樹。as we should意為“像我們應該做的那樣”,符合句意,故選A項。because “因為”,unless “除非”,if “如果”,三項都不符合語境,故排除。

　　答案:A

　　13.A.seem B.sound

　　C.feel D.come

　　解析:正因為我們沒有在平時呵護我們的夢想,所以終將有一天我們會問自己:“為什么我們的夢想都沒有實現呢?”come true “實現”。此處表達的是人們問自己為什么夢想沒有實現,而不是夢想為什么不sound true(聽起來真實),也不能說feel true(感覺真實)或者seem true(好像真實)。因此,根據邏輯可知選D項。

　　答案:D

　　14.A.plans B.seeds

　　C.steps D.tries

　　解析:這里把找到一份好工作比喻成種植蘋果樹,應該是需要很多次的嘗試(try),而不是很多的計劃(plan)或者種子(seed),更不是許多的步驟(step)。故選D項。

　　答案:D

　　15.A.after B.when

　　C.before D.though

　　解析:兩百次的動作應該是發生在被接受之前,故選before。

　　答案:C

　　16.A.meet B.refuse

　　C.receive D.accept

　　解析:根據下文的met可知,此處選擇A項。句意為“在遇到真正的朋友之前你會遇到很多人”。refuse “拒絕”,receive “收到”,accept “接受”,三項的意義均不符合上下文的語意邏輯關系。故選A項。

　　答案:A

　　17.A.discovering B.sowing

　　C.harvesting D.showing

　　解析:此句是一個比喻句,意思是說“但是如果你堅持播種夢想的種子,終有一天你會成功”。sow the seeds “播種”;discover the seeds “發現種子”;harvest the seeds “收獲種子”;show the seeds “展示種子”。根據句意可知選B項。

　　答案:B

　　18.A.succeed B.calm down

　　C.fail D.give up

　　解析:堅持就會成功(succeed),而不是calm down(平靜下來),或者fail(失敗),也不是give up(放棄)。故選A項。

　　答案:A

　　19.A.plants B.water

　　C.earth D.ideas

　　解析:根據下文的planted the seed可知,作者要種下這粒蘋果籽,因此根據常識可知應該是在罐里放土,故選C項。

　　答案:C

　　20.A.forest B.fruit

　　C.flower D.tree

　　解析:根據常識判斷,種子會長成蘋果樹。

　　答案:D

　　B
