The woman was very  11 . Unable to control herself, she  12  the pot and threw it at the rude man. The pot broke into pieces over the back of his head and he fell to the ground, bleeding.

【解析】

试题分析:本文讲述了一位妇女总是将自己的怒气归结到别人的身上,然后她向高僧寻求建议。高僧让其每天为路人提供水,于是,她每天发水。有一天,她因为控制不住自己的情绪,用罐子将一个粗鲁的人打伤,结果这个人却是一名警察正在通缉的罪犯的故事。

1.point“指着”,laugh“笑”,smile“微笑”,scream“喊叫,尖叫”。根据who had a bad temper可知,妇女的脾气不好,所以应是她对周围的人大声喊叫,故用screamed。所以本题选D。

2.根据题干,本句的意思是“认为她生气都是因为别人的错。”anybody用于疑问句或否定句中,故排除;nobody表示否定,故排除;而everybody表示每个人,过于绝对,故排除。故应somebody。所以本题选B。

3.information“信息”,news“新闻”,advice“建议”,message“口信,信息”。根据题干,本句的意思“她去向一个德高望重的高僧寻求建议。”故用advice。所以本题选C。

4.juice “果汁”,water“水”,milk“牛奶” coffee“咖啡”。根据下文中you must give him or her a glass of water可知,本空应该是water。所以本题选B。

5.根据下文的 served water to walkers可知,本句应该是walk past“走过”。所以本题选A。

6.根据下文的if there was any anger inside her可知,本空应该是anger。本句的意思是“直到你心中没有怒火为止。”所以本题选C。

7.根据下文可知,妇女按照高僧说的做了,故应该用so。

8.根据题干,因为是妇女要消除自己的怒气,故应该是问她自己,故用herself。所以本题选A。

9.根据上文可知,妇女仍然有怒气,故应继续为路人提供水,所以应该用serving。所以本题选B。

10.根据此人的行为took the water pot out of her hand and drank the water up和下文可知,这个人应该是将pot仍在了地上。所以本题选D。

11.根据Unable to control herself和threw it at the rude man.可知,妇女很生气。所以本题选D。

12.根据上文可知,pot在地上,故应该是捡起来。所以本题选B。

13.妇女给警察打了电话,故应该用报告report。所以本题选C。

14.already “已经”,still“仍然”, always “总是”never“从不”。根据语境,本句应该是“她仍在哭泣。”其他选项明显不符合题意。所以本题选B。

15.根据题干,应该是on our wanted list。本句的意思是“那个男人是一年多来我们最想抓到的罪犯。”所以本题选A。

考点:本题考查故事类记叙文

点评:这篇短文内容比较简单,理解不难。各小题与上下文联系比较紧密,答题中一定要注意联系上下文。答完后多读几遍,看看是否符合逻辑,适当修改。个别小题可以当作单独的词义辨析题来做,先区分词义,结合语境选出最能使语句通顺的答案。
