In 57 years of life on this sick planet，I have never had a flu shot(注射)．There are a number of __1__ explanations for this.For example，my __2__ indicated that if we come down with the flu we should work from home and not __3__ bringing the virus(病毒) to office.Then those who really like working from home were walking around the streets，trying to get sick people to __4__ on them.

But the main reason I've never had a flu shot is that I just __10__ getting shots.More specifically，I hate needles—especially the thought of them __11__ painfully through my skin.I'm more __12__ of the shot than the flu.

This year's flu season looks __13__.People are dying of the flu，and public health officials are calling it a public health __14__.One doctor said，“We have a good，proven vaccine(疫苗)．The vaccine doesn't guarantee you won't get the flu，__15__ it reduces the risk considerably.There's just no reason for people not to get a shot.”

Fear can do __16__ things to us.I've seen big，brave men run __17__ at the sight of a spider no bigger than a quarter.Fear makes the strong __18__.“Fear，”according to a German proverb，“makes the wolf bigger than he is.”

Cloze 1答案

1、解析考查上下文暗示。结合前面的“It was planted in the first half of the 20th century on a

farm.”和下文内容可知这棵树很早以前就被种下了，所以应该已经长成了一棵很大的树。

hollow“空心的”；leafless“无叶的”；young“幼小的”。答案 D

2、解析考查语境中动词的辨析。从后面的“dragging a heavy iron chain with it”可知，此处是

指用一条链子把牛拴在了树上。fix“固定”，指把某物固定在某个地方，使其不能移动。

attach“把……固定”，指把局部连接在整体上，小的接在大的上面，活动的接在固定的上面。

join侧重把原来不相连的物体连接在一起，但仍可再分开，也指把分散的人或几个部分的人联合起来或加入到某团体中。chain是指用锁链拴住，与语境相符。故选A。答案 A

3、解析考查语境中动词的辨析。链子在树皮上刮出了一条沟。scratch“抓，搔”；fill“填

上”；dig“挖”；scrape“刮掉，擦坏”。由此可知答案为C。答案 C

4、解析考查上下文暗示。结合后面的“over the years，though for whatever reason，which did

not kill the tree”可知，随着时间的推移，铁链把树皮上的沟磨得越来越深。disappear“消失”；

lengthen“变长”；shorten“变短”。答案 A

5、解析考查上下文照应。从第二段的“The family that owned the farm...”以及下文内容可知

此处是指这家人卖了农场，所以选D。答案 D

6、解析考查上下文暗示。经过很多年，树皮把生锈的铁链给遮掩住了。branch“树枝”；

root“树根”；stem“(树木的)干”。答案 B

7、解析考查上下文暗示。从后面的“It left a path of death across vast areas.All of the elms __8__

the road became infected and died.”可知此处应是指一种疾病，因为很多榆树都患了这种病，继而死了。答案 B

8、解析考查语境中动词的辨析。所有伫立在路两旁的树都受到了疾病的侵袭而死亡了，

所以选A。surround“环绕”；enclose“把……围起来”；border“与……接壤，毗邻，”多指国与国之间或两地区的分界。答案 A

9、解析考查语境中动词的辨析。由于其他的树都死了，所以人们都认为下一个死亡的很可

能是那棵大榆树。pray“祈祷”；hope“希望”；wish“希望”；figure“认为，认定”。故选D。答案 D

10、解析考查语境中形容词的辨析。从后面的“cutting it down and chopping it up into firewood

before it __11__ ”可知，农场现在的主人想把这棵树砍掉，不让其染上疾病，这是在做一件保险的事情。important“重要的”；funny“可笑的”；great“伟大的”。答案 C

11、解析考查上下文暗示。因为人们都认为这棵树可能会受到疾病的侵袭而死去，所以这

个主人打算在它死前把它砍倒。dry“干燥”，bend“弯曲”，lean“倾斜”。答案 B

12、解析考查上下文暗示。根据前面的“It was as if the old tree had become a family friend.”可知，由于这棵树和这个主人一家在一起生活的时间长了，几乎成为朋友了。所以他不忍心砍倒它，而是任其发展。let nature take its course表示“顺其自然”。答案 D

13、解析考查语境中副词的辨析。从后面的“the tree did not die”可知这棵树没有死，与原来人们的猜想相反，因此人们很惊讶。unfortunately“不幸地”；evidently“明显地”；stubbornly“固执地”。答案 A

14、解析考查上下文暗示。上下文内容暗示出这棵树不但没有死，而且长得很茂盛。

答案 C

15、解析考查上下文暗示。结合后面的“They observed the scar left by the iron chain”可知科学家们来观察这棵树，想找出它没有死反而很茁壮的原因。答案 B

16、解析考查上下文暗示。从前面的“the 6(bark) slowly covered the rusting chain”可知树皮把生锈的铁链遮住了，所以选D。答案 D

17、解析考查语境逻辑。科学家们认为是铁链救了这棵树的命。destroy“摧毁”；change“改变”；claim“夺走，夺去(生命)”。save“挽救”符合语境。答案 A

18、解析考查语境中动词的辨析。科学家们推断这棵树吸收了很多的铁元素。contain“包含”；smelt“熔炼”；produce“生产”，均不符合语境。答案 C

19、解析考查语境中形容词的辨析。由于树吸收了很多的铁元素，所以它获得了免疫能力，能够抵御真菌的袭击。sensitive“敏感的”；flexible“灵活的”；innocent“无辜的”答案 C 20、解析考查上下文暗示。从前面的“Look at the wound made by the chain.”可知此处是指伤口。regret“后悔”；sorrow“悲伤”；failure“失败”，均不符合语境。答案 A
