Question

Around two weeks ago, I was invited to be a judge(裁判) at a college. All of the students had been given a piece of paper with a topic written on it. The first one to speak looked a little        . “My dear friends and judges,” he said loudly, “this is an unfair        ! I have been given the paper,” he continued, “to speak on the topic with just a few minutes’ preparation,          those who come after me have more time to         their speeches!” He then left the stage and went out of the hall. 

　　I met him later by chance. “Who said life is          ?” I asked him with a smile, and I asked him to walk with me to my car. “Have you seen the figures(数字) they show when a new car is       into the market, saying how good it is?”  

　　“Yes,” he nodded.

　　“But they put a          after all these figures. They say all the figures are in ideal road conditions!” 

　　“Yes,” he said again.

　　“Can you show me some ideal road conditions?” I asked him, and he smiled. “The car that sells well is the one       will provide power and speed on the         roads. That car is the winner.” 

　　We had got to the car. “Don’t look for ideal competition conditions,” I said. “         the unfair and come out a winner!”

　　I looked back as I drove away and saw him smile and wave, and I knew he would do as I said.

【解析】

试题分析：短文大意：大约两周前，我应一所大学之邀担任裁判。所有的学生都得到了一张纸，上面写着一个话题。让他们做演讲。

1.。句意：第一个说看起来有点不高兴。unhappy不愉快的；afraid害怕的； ungratefuladj.不感激的; 不领情的; 忘恩负义的； tired累的。练习下文“this is an unfair    ”可推知该选A。

2.。句意：这是一个不公平的竞争！idea 主意； competition n.竞争; 比赛； topic主题; 话题，论题；judge判断。结合语境可知该选B。

3.。句意：同时在我后面的那些人有更多的时间来做他们的演讲。when当……的时候；so所以；since自从；while当……的时候，同时。结合前后分句意思可知该选D。

4.。句意：同时在我后面的那些人有更多的时间来做他们的演讲。wait for等候；care about  关心；work on从事；find out发现。根据句意可知该选C。

6.。句意：一种新的汽车进入市场。produced生产；imported 输入，进口；advertised 公布，宣传；introduced介绍。根据常识可推知本句句意，所以选D。

7.。句意：但他们在这些数字后加条线。word 单词；guide向导；line排; 线路; 线条；letter字母。故选C。

8.。句意：那很好卖的车可以在最坏的道路情况下提供力量和速度。 that那； what什么；who谁；whose谁的。先行词为一不定代词，并且在定语从句中作主语，所以选A。

9.。句意：那很好卖的车可以在最坏的道路情况下提供力量和速度。best最好的； worst最差的； busiest最忙的；longest最长的。根据语境可知该选B。

10.。句意：打破不公平，是最后的赢家。fight战斗; 斗争; 打架; 吵架;；balance平衡；blame责备; 责任；change变化，改变。所以选A。
