内容概要:文章开始部分记叙了作者看电影时的遭遇,接着谈论了作者对母语的特有情感。
小题1:夏日的夜晚想到电影院享受空调,说明不愿面对的是居室的“热”。而heated表示“热烈的”或“人为加过热的”,显然不妥。
小题2:四个词的全义分别为:crack“裂缝,(因破裂而形成的)缝隙”;blank“空白、空地”;break“破裂处”;opening“空隙”。这里指头与头之间的空档(不是细缝),以用opening为宜。
小题3:angle“角度”,表示头得左右摆动才可看清楚。
小题4:这对男女的动作是交替进行的。
小题5:attraction“吸引力”,attention“注意力”,affection“爱意、情感”,motion“动机”,四个词中只有offection与那对年轻人的甜言蜜语和亲昵举动相吻合。
小题6:as意为“如同”。
小题7:从时间上来看,后面的两个动作是“之后”发生的。
小题8:后面popcorn为“爆米花”,用咀嚼(chew)较为合适。由crunch一词也可推知。
小题9:though放于句末表示“然而”,为副词,与前一句意义上形成转折。
小题10:由后面的just heard推知,不再听到其它声音了。
小题11:sound“声响”,voice“声音”,rhythm“节奏”,tone“音调”,此处指嚼爆米花的声音,自然应该用sound。
小题12:思绪已不在电影上,而是转到了其他方面,故选wander(漫游)。
小题13:过去经常做某事用used to。happen to do (碰巧做)有悖于frequently,应注意排除。
小题14:对Kojak 的好感“一直”持续到看到他讲一口流利的英语。
小题15:由第16空前面那句话可以想象他的英语一定讲得不错。
小题16:“feel like+从句”用以表示人的心理感受。
小题17:根据意义和词的用法可排除余者。
小题18:根据后面一句话,特别是in silence不难选定此空答案。
小题19:“讲……语言”用speak。
小题20:come out在此可以理解为“结果是”。
