People's tastes in recreation differ widely. At a recent festival of pop-music in the Isle of Wight, crowds of teenagers 1 to listen to their favourite singers and musicians. They went with single railway tickets and slept in the open, a very 2 thing to do in the climate of Britain, even in August. They were 3 together like sardines(沙丁魚)for four days. There were innumerable thieves; a gang of roughs tried several times to break things up, and police were everywhere. At the end of the festival many young fans found themselves 4 , with no money left, and they had difficulty in getting back home. Most people would consider these conditions a 5 of discomfort; the fans appeared to enjoy it all 6 .
Even in the overcrowded United Kingdom there are large tracts of open unspoiled country, where people with more 7 tastes can go for quiet, and for the sense of freedom they 8 from contact with nature. In the national parks especially, modern development of housing and industry is strictly controlled. Visitors may walk for miles through landscape of the greatest beauty and wildness, and often of 9 historic or scientific interest. Along the coasts of some of the maritime(近海的)counties, public pathways have been created; these paths 10 for many miles along cliffs that look out on the Atlantic Ocean or the English Channel. Another path, lying inland, goes along the range of mountains in the north of England. It is called the Pennine Way. Here, the long-distance walker and the nature-lover can find much to enjoy, without feeling disturbed by large numbers of their fellows.
1.Even in the overcrowded United Kingdom there are large tracts of open unspoiled country, where people with more traditional tastes can go for quiet, and for the sense of freedom they derive from contact with nature. (Line 1, Para. 2)
[解析]句子的主干為...there are large tracts of open unspoiled country。Even in the overcrowded United Kingdom為狀語,where引導一個定語從句,其中的for quiet和for the sense of freedom是兩個并列成分,they derive from contact with nature為后置定語修飾freedom。
2.Along the coasts of some of the maritime(近海的)counties, public pathways have been created; these paths stretch for many miles along cliffs that look out on the Atlantic Ocean or the English Channel. (Line 6, Para. 2)
[解析]句中的分號分隔了兩個并列句。前面一個句子的主干為public pathways have been created,句首的Along the coasts of some of the maritime counties為狀語。后面句子的主干為these paths stretch for many miles,along cliffs一直到句末也是作狀語,其中又包含一個that引導的定語從句。
[快速解題]動詞辨義題。空格前為句子的主語和系動詞be,空格后為副詞together。由此可知,本句謂語結構不完整,需填入一個動詞的過去分詞,表被動含義。符合語法條件的備選詞匯有packed和crushed,根據該空后面的together like sardines,可以判斷只有packed符合語境,意為“擠滿,擁擠”,故選L。
4.A broke
[快速解題]形容詞辨義題。根據空格前的found themselves可以判斷,此處需要填入一個形容詞或者動詞的過去分詞,作賓語補足語。結合語境,后文中緊接著說到了with no money left,由此不難判斷此處應該說的是,在音樂節閉幕的時候,很多年輕的粉絲發現自己身無分文了。broke意為“身無分文的”,符合此處語境,故選A。
[快速解題]動詞辨義題。此處空格位于一個省略了that的定語從句中,先行詞為freedom,該定語從句中的主語為they,缺少謂語動詞,而整個句子的時態為一般現在時,由此可以判斷此處需要填入一個動詞原形。再由空格后緊接的介詞from可以推知,此處填入的動詞還須能與from搭配使用,并與之一起表明freedom與contact with nature的關系。備選詞匯中只有derive符合語境,derive from意為“從……獲得,源自”,故選F。
9.D considerable
[快速解題]形容詞辨義題。分析句子結構可知,此處空格所在的結構often of...interest與前面的of the greatest beauty and wildness是并列成分,共同修飾前面的名詞landscape。因此,此處缺少類似the greatest這樣表示程度的形容詞。符合語法條件的備選形容詞還剩下considerable和confidential,再結合句意可知,此處指“相當多的,相當大的”,只有considerable正確,故選D。
10.N stretch
[快速解題]動詞辨義題。分析句子主干可知,此處空格需要一個動詞作謂語,根據上下文動詞時態,可判斷該動詞為原形。符合語法條件的備選詞還剩下slump和stretch。根據后面的for many miles可知,此處是指“延伸(或綿延)許多英里”,可知stretch符合此處語境,故選N。
