1．[解析]　考查形容词。难度较小。be different from是固定搭配，意为“与……不同”。句意为：妈妈这条路真奇怪！它与其他道路不同。

[答案]　different

2．[解析]　考查固定搭配。难度中等。根据空格后面的宾语并结合上下文可知，此处意为“这些特殊的路是给盲人修建的，(通过这些路)盲人可以找到他们想要去的任何地方”。find one's way是固定搭配，意为“找到路”。

[答案]　find

3．[解析]　考查连词。难度中等。结合语境可知，空格前后是转折关系。故用转折连词but。妈妈先是同意儿子的说法，然后语意一转说导盲犬虽贵但却很有用，物有所值。

[答案]　but

4．[解析]　考查形容词比较级。难度较大。根据空格前面的much可知，此空需要填入一个形容词的比较级形式作trouble的定语。结合上下文可知，由于良好的社会服务，盲人现在在公共场所的困难比较少了，所以应填less。

[答案]　less

5．[解析]　考查动词语态。难度中等。facility与design是动宾关系，所以需要用被动形式。

[答案]　are designed

6．[解析]　考查动词时态。难度中等。此处是说当儿子过马路的时候，他也经常听到一个声音。根据句意可知，时态可以用进行时表示当时的状况，也可以用一般现在时表示经常性动作。如果填across则句子缺少动词。

[答案]　am crossing/cross

7．[解析]　考查介词。难度中等。此处that指代前面的“the sound”，再结合句末的too，联系第5空后面内容可知答案。

[答案]　for

8．[解析]　考查虚拟语气。难度中等。条件状语从句的引导词if是解题关键。根据if后面的weren't可知，这是一个if条件句的虚拟语气形式，表示与将来或现在事实相反时，主句用过去将来时。will be unable to do sth.意为“将不能做某事”。

[答案]　would be

9．[解析]　考查形容词。难度中等。母亲问儿子是否能摸得到，儿子说自己根本不可能做到。从后一句儿子产生的疑问可以得出答案。

[答案]　impossible

10．[解析]　考查非谓语动词。难度较小。儿子产生疑问：盲人是怎样只通过触摸就知道是多少钱的呢？by后跟动词的ing形式。

[答案]　touching

Ⅴ.阅读理解

(2013·湖北七市(州)高三联考)If you want to know how crazy people can be about their pets，you might remember that Helmsley left $12 million to her little Maltese dog when she died last year.

The dog's name is Trouble. And apparendy Trouble is still alive. Of course，I would hang on，too，if someone left me $12 million. Look! Top­shelf dog food，soft pillows everywhere，drivers walking me in nice leafy parks. I would live to be 110 in dog years.

The dog's story is still fresh in my mind the other night when I leave a steak house after a superb meal. Then I notice a woman carrying a small bag out of the door behind me.

Once outside，she walks over to where a man is holding a tiny dog like it's a baby. The dog looks like a Maltese，too，barking and annoying，with a cute haircut.

And now I am treated to an absolute astonishing sight. Because now the woman reaches into the bag and begins pulling out little pieces of meat，which she puts on a plastic spoon and feeds to the dog.

This is no cheap steak house. It's_actually，way_out_of_my_league—I'm there only because it's a special occasion. I can tell you this: if I walked out of the place with any leftover steak，it sure wouldn't go to a dog. Not at those prices.

So now the woman is Spoon­feeding the dog and the man is just standing there，holding this dog and looking as if this is the most normal thing in the world. And the dog is calmly chewing these pieces of steak as if he's a little king. And this dog is in no hurry. He's having a great time.

A few minutes go by，and now the dog finishes all of his steak. At this point，I hear the woman say to the man “Think he's still hungry？” And she glances behind her at the restaurant，as if she might go back in there to get more steak for the dog.

Watching all this，I'm afraid I'm going to shout，“Are you out of your mind? Feeding all that pricey steak to that little dog? Did you see what our American life is like today? We're all going to be eating dog food if this keeps up！”

1．Why would the author live to be 110 in dog years?

A．Because he is always in poor health and falls ill.

B．Because a Maltese dog lives longer than a human being.

C．Because his grandparents left him a large sum of money.

D．Because he thinks the dog is treated extremely well.

[解析]　细节理解题。第二段“Top­shelf dog food，...in dog years”狗的待遇比人好的多。

[答案]　D

2．What is the story mainly about?

A．An American family's happy life.

B．A Maltese dog getting $12 million from its owner.

C．A New Yorker spending $ 8 billion for a few banks.

D．A pet dog being fed with expensive food.

[解析]　细节理解题。故事讲的是作者认为特别贵的牛排，却被别人买来给狗吃。

[答案]　D

3．The underlined sentence “It's actually，way out of my league. ” (in Para. 6) means__________.

A．the restaurant is too expensive for the author

B．the author hates the dog being taken there

C．the superb restaurant is about to be out of service

D．the dog doesn't belong to the author's group

[解析]　细节理解题。out of my league不是我这号人吃得起的。也可通过本段第一句话“This is no cheap steak house”来判断。

[答案]　A

4．Seeing the dog is being treated to expensive steak，the author becomes extremely__________.

A．indifferent B．annoyed

C．concerned D．envious

[解析]　细节理解题。从最后一段“Are you out of...keeps up！”可知作者非常生气。

[答案]　B
