1.One winter day in 1891, a class at a training school in Massachusetts, USA, went into the gym for their daily exercises. Since the football season had ended, most of young men felt they were in for a boring time. But their teacher, James Naismith, had other ideas. He had been working for a long time on the new game that would have the excitement of American football. Naismith showed the men a basket he had hung at each end of the gym, and explained that they were going to use a round European football. At first everybody tried to throw the ball into the basket no matter where he was standing. “Pass! Pass!” Naismith kept shouting, blowing his whistle to stop the excited players. Slowly, they began to understand what was wanted of them. The problem with the new game, which was soon called “basketball”, was getting the ball out of the basket. They used ordinary baskets, with bottoms, and the ball, of course, stayed inside. At first, someone had to climb up every time when a basket was scored. It was several years before someone came up with the idea of removing the bottom of the basket and letting the ball fall through. There have been many changes in the rules since then, and basketball had become one of the world’s most popular sports.1、 When did the story happen?AIn springBIn summerCIn fallDIn winter2、 What did Naismith do to entertain his students one day?AHe taught them to play an exciting new gameBHe took them to watch a basketball gameCHe trained them to play European footballDHe let them compete in getting balls out of a basket3、 According to the write, what was the problem with the new game?AThe players had difficulty understanding the complex rulesBThe players found the basket too high to reachCThe players soon found the game boringDThe players had trouble getting the ball out of the basket4、 How was the problem with the new game solved?ABy alerting the size of the basketBBy simplifying the complex rulesCBy removing the bottom of the basketDBy lowering the position of the basket5、 Which kind of ball was used in basketball games at first?AVolleyballBSoftballCAmerican footballDBritish football

    答案：A

    本题考查修辞手法。

    A选项，Anticlimax，渐降法，将一系列词语由大到小、由强到弱地排列。综上，A选项正确。

    B选项，pun, 双关，We must all hang together, or we shall all hang separately.我们必须团结在一起，不然我们将一个地被绞死。利用一词多义，第一个hang表示“团结”，第二个hang表示“绞死”。

  • 第4题：

    What rhetorical device is used in the underlined part of the sentence There was an eloquent pause after the story was told?

    A．Pun.
    B．Simile.
    C．Metaphor.
    D．Transferred epithet.

    答案：D
    解析：
    考查词语异常搭配的修辞效果。转移修饰(也称移就)是用表示甲性质或特征的形容词、过去分词或现在分词来修饰不同属性的乙，使词语搭配产生变异，造成突出。转移修饰能使人产生形象联想，收到情景交融、耐人寻味的表达效果。如题干中划线句子的eloquent pause一词意味深长：谁听罢那故事，都会心悦诚服，无言以对。只好默不作语了。

  • 第7题：

    What is the main rhetoric device used in "The Pentagon was divided on the air strike. "


    A.Synecdoche.

    B.Metonymy.

    C.Metaphor.

    D.Oxymoron.

    答案：B
    解析：
    考查修辞学。题干意思是：“The Pentagon was divided on the air strike．”这句话主要用了什么修辞手法上面句子的字面意思是“五角大楼就空袭事件产生分歧”，显然不合理，实际应该是五角大楼里的人对空袭事件意见不。这里的“五角大楼”一词是美国国防部的代名词，指代在这座建筑里工作的人。英语中将借代通称为metonymy(换喻、转喻)，指用一个事物来取代另一个相关事物。这种修辞手法可以使语言更丰富、更生动，也可以避免重复。在新闻写作中，这个修辞手法会经常被用来帮助创造多样性。故选B。synecdoche(提喻)通常指用事物本身的一部分来代替其整体。比如以hands代persons，以wheels代car。metaphor(隐喻／暗喻)是简缩了的明喻，是将某一事物的名称用于另一事物，通过比较形成。oxymoron(矛盾修饰法)是把两个意思相反、互相矛盾或互不协调的词用在一起，以产生警句式的修辞效果。

  • 第8题：

    --Why does John speak through everydiscussion but never listen to the others?
    --That what he ___________ do, we used tohate that, but are used to it now.

    A.can
    B.might
    C.ought to
    D.will

    答案：D
    解析：
    考查情态动词。can表示“能力，许可，可能”；might表示“许可，可能”；ought to表示“应该，可能”；will除了表示意愿，还可以表示某种倾向或习惯性动作。由语境可知，答句意为“他总是那样，过去我们讨厌，现在已经习惯了”。故D项正确。

    What rhetoric device is used in the sentence "This is a successful failure"

    答案：D
    解析：
    考查修辞。题意为，“这是一个成功的失败”这句话中运用了什么修辞手法成功和失败是反义词．用成功修饰失败存在很明显的矛盾关系。矛盾修饰法是把两个意思相反、互相矛盾或互不协调的词用在一起，以产生警句式的修辞效果。它是英语反义词的一种灵活运用。这种修辞手法表面上看来是矛盾的，但实际上这样的组合却能达到其他修辞手法没有的语言效果，含义深刻，寓意明确。A项“明喻”，B项“转喻／借代”，C项“隐喻／暗喻”，D项“矛盾修饰法”。故选D。

  • 第17题：

    What is the main rhetoric device used in “The plowman homeward plods his weary way.”?

    A.Metaphor.
    B.Metonymy.
    C.Synecdoche.
    D.Transferred epithet.

    答案：D
    解析：
    本题考查修辞学。metaphor（隐喻／暗喻）是在两个不同事物之间进行比较，但它不直接点明两个事物之间的相似性，而是进行隐藏的比较，例如：All the world is a stage.整个世界是一台戏(用stage喻指all the world)。metonymy（转喻）指直接用比喻事物代替本体事物，例如：The buses inAmerica are on strike now.美国的公共汽车司机正在罢工（这里buses喻指司机drivers）。synecdoche（提喻）指用一般代替特殊或以特殊代替一般，部分代替整体或整体代替部分，或用原材料代表用该材料制造的东西。比如以hands代替persons，以Solomon代替a wise man，以the smiling year代替the spring。transferred epithet（移就）指用本应该描述甲事物性质状态的词语来形容乙事物，而乙事物却根本不具备这种性质或功能。例如题干中的“The plowman homewardplods hisweary way.”句中形容词“weary”本来应该修饰的是“the plowman”，作者在这里用来修饰“way”，使这句话勾勒出一幅筋疲力尽的农夫步履蹒跚地走向家园的画面。故本题选D。

    答案：C
    解析：
    本题考查修辞手法。
