Question

My mind seems always to return to the day when I met Carl. The city bus stopped at a corner to         the passengers(乘客).1 was included. After getting on the bus, I looked for a place to sit. At last, I found a seat near the back.

    The passenger of the         next to the one I was going for was an old man in a grey suit. Seated myself, I began to read the book I had been carrying which was Jack Kerouac's On the Road. The man in the seat next to me introduced himself by asking if I        any other book like the one I was holding. When I told him I had, he seemed to become        and so did I. He said he was Carl. And asked if I like jazz(爵士乐),and l told him that I didn't really listen to it and that I like rock and roll. Waiting for Carl to tell me that I          listen to real music, I was shocked when he just smiled and nodded. He said, "You          me of myself when I was your age. I remember how my parents hated jazz, how they couldn't see how I could listen to that terrible noise. I bet your parents say the same thing, don't they?" Now it was my        to smile and nod.

    As the bus took us from one side of the city to the' other, Carl and I talked about a lot of different things. The more we talked, the more amazed I became at          the two of us really had in common, although we had the        difference. I haven't seen him         we parted, but the thought of our relationship that day never leaves my mind.

【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文是作者回忆他和Carl第一次见面的事情。有一次作者乘坐公共汽车，碰巧坐在了Carl 的旁边。两个人开始聊起天来，让作者很吃惊的是，虽然他们的年龄相差很大，但是他和Carl有很多共同之处。在那之后，他们再也没有见过面，但是作者从没有忘记那一天。

1.考查动词及语境的理解。句意：城市的公交车在拐角处停下来接乘客，我也在其中。take up 从事，拿起；pick up 拾起，捡起，接某人；put up 搭建，张贴；turn up 将声音调大，出现。根据文意可知，公共汽车停下来是让乘客们上车，故应该是pick up，接某人的意思。故选B。

2.考查名词及语境的理解。句意：我旁边的座位上的乘客是一个穿着灰色套装的老人。seat 座位；bus 公共汽车；city 城市；book 书。这个空的前面是the passenger，即乘客，因为这个故事发生在公交车上，所以这里是说作者想坐的座位旁边的座位上的乘客，故选A。

3.考查动词及语境的理解。句意：坐在我座位旁边的那个男士做了一个自我介绍，问我是否读过跟我手里拿的书一类的其他书籍。本题考查时态，浏览短文我们可知，这篇短文描述的这件事是过去发生的，而这里那个男的又问我以前有没有读过类似的书，故应该是过去之前发生的事，即过去的过去，应用过去完成时。A是一般现在时；B是过去进行时；C是过去完成时；D是过去将来时。故选C。

4.考查形容词及语境的理解。句意：当我说我读过的时候，他好像变得很感兴趣，我也一样。worried 担心的；silent 沉默的；interested 感兴趣的；bored无聊的。根据下文可知，作者和这个男士就此聊了起来，他们有很多共同之处，所以那个男士对作者很感兴趣。故选C。

5.考查情态词及语境的理解。句意：我以为Carl会告诉我我应该听真正的音乐，但是，我很吃惊他只是笑了笑，点了点头。mustn’t  禁止，不要；shouldn’t 不应该；must 必须；should 应该。由上文可知I didn't really listen to it，作者没有真正的听这种音乐，所以A、B不对；作者以为那位男士会建议他去听真正的音乐，这是一种建议，而不是必须这样做，故选D。

6.考查动词及语境的理解。句意：你让我想起了你这个年龄的我。remember 记得，不能和后面的of 组成短语；warn sb. of sth. 警告某人某事；make 使，制作，不能和of 组成短语；remind sb. of sth. 使某人想起某事。这里看到作者，那位男士想起了自己小的时候。故选D。

7.考查名词及语境的理解。句意：现在轮到我微笑点头了。由上文可知，当作者说他喜欢摇滚而不停爵士乐的时候，那位男士 just smiled and nodded 只是微笑着点了点头，那这里是轮到作者微笑点头了。It is one’s turn to do sth. 轮到某人做某事。time 时间；day 白天，日；honor 荣誉。根据文意可知选A。

8.考查连词及语境的理解。句意：我们谈得越多，我就越惊奇，我们之间有这么多相同之处。这里how much 引导的是一个宾语从句，放在at 后做宾语。why 为什么；where 哪里；how 怎样。根据句意可知选D。

9.考查名词及语境的理解。句意：虽然我们有着年龄的差别。根据上文next to the one I was going for was an old man in a grey suit可知，挨着作者的这个人是一个老人，所以作者和他之间有着年龄的差距。故选B。race 种族；sex 性别；color颜色，这三项都没提到。

10.考查连词及语境的理解。句意：从我们分手后，我再也没有见过他。after 在……之后；when 当……时候；since 自从；before在……之前。根据句意可知是两人自从分手后就再也没见过，故选C。

考点：日常生活类短文。
