2023-24学年第7期总第921期高二II版参考答案
III. A. 1. reached; 2. bazaar; 3. reminded; 4. vanity; 5. late; 6. stall
The correct order is bceafd.
B. 1. absent-minded and impatient/eager; the first paragraph
2. unhappy and worried/fearful; “I left the house in a bad mood ... already I feared what might happen.”
3. anxious/annoyed; “I sat staring at the clock for some time. When its noise began to annoy me ...”
4. anxious/impatient; “After an unbearable delay, it moved slowly ... and crept along.”
5. shy/timid and empty; “I walked shyly into the center of the bazaar.”; “Remembering with difficulty why I had come ...”
6. nervous; “I looked nervously at the great vases ...”
7. in pain and angry / frustrated; “... my eyes burned with pain and anger”
* Although the boy was so eager to go to Araby and fulfill his promise to the girl he loved, his journey to Araby was filled with obstacles that tortured him as he waited. The ticking clock, his uncle’s late return and indifferent attitude, the delayed and slow-moving train ... everything seemed to delay his progress. When he finally arrived at the bazaar, the emptiness, the silence and the young lady’s attitude further deepened his disappointment. Finally, as he faced darkness, all his fantasies were shattered (破灭), turning his youthful love into a tragic defeat and leaving a void (空白) in him that might never be filled.
IV. A. 1. the boy’s fantasies of love, romance, beauty and mystery / the boy’s longing and search for ideal romance and beauty
2. the boy failed in his search for ideal romance and beauty / the boy’s love for the girl was unrealistic and would remain a wishful idea / the boy’s expectations were driven by nothing but his own vanity
B. “I left the house in a bad mood and walked slowly towards the school. The air was pitilessly cold and already I feared what might happen.” (in the second paragraph)
The boy’s “bad mood”, the “pitilessly cold air” and his “fear” all hint that his trip to Araby would inevitably end up being a disappointment.
V. Para 1: hyperbole (夸张); personification (拟人); the last paragraph: metaphor and personification
Sentences ①②③⑤: sight, sound and touch
Sentences ④: personification; The “Eastern guards” and the “dark entrance” create a solemn (庄严的) atmosphere and even seem a bit daunting (令人胆怯的) to the boy, which can explain why he looked “nervously” at the vases. They also imply that the young lady didn’t take the boy seriously, as is expressed in the previous sentence.
VI. A. Probably because he felt the young lady didn’t take him seriously and he was so disappointed to realize there was a huge gap between his fantasy and reality. He is described as introverted (内向的), sensitive and shy.
B. The boy’s failure to fulfill his desire and his inability to overcome the obstacles may reflect the lives of all Dubliners, where there’s no room for things like hope and love to exist. It is a state of inaction and numbness (麻木) that everyone in Dublin may recognize but cannot change.

M: Hello! Lindsey Restaurant, how can I help you?
W: Hi, um, I’d like to make a dinner reservation for tonight.
M: OK. Can you tell me how many people, please?
W: We have 14 adults and three children, so 17 in total. Do you have big round tables that can hold 17 people?
M: Well, I’m afraid our round tables are not big enough for 17 people. Do you mind splitting into two tables?
W: I don’t think that will work. We have the tradition of sitting around one big table for our family get-together. You know, it’s not like a party or graduation ceremony.
M: Let me see. Would you mind using a big long table instead? Then, all of your family members can sit around the same table.
W: That will be fine!

M: Let me see. I don’t think so. When was the last time you filled the tank?
W: I filled it yesterday, and it should be almost full now.
M: Well, I guess the oil tank might be leaking. My suggestion is to have it examined by a professional mechanic, not just an experienced driver like me.
W: Thank you so much! You are such a reliable neighbor and have helped me a lot over the years!

W: It’s the best gift ever! I have heard of the story, but haven’t read the novel before.
M: You know, I read a lot of books in order to write my own, just like painters who always get inspiration from others’ works.
W: Sounds interesting! I’d like to be a fashion designer, and I guess I should at least read some fashion magazines first. By the way, where were you yesterday?
M: Long story short. My dog jumped out of my car window and hurt its legs. So I had to take it to the vet, where I ended up meeting my brother and his dog.
W: What a coincidence! Hope your dog gets well soon!

W: Today, we are going to talk about how some animals store food for future use. One important challenge animals face is to get enough food to support themselves, especially when it’s hard to find something to eat. To solve this problem, some animals collect food and hide food when it is plenty. One example is a kind of squirrel living in the northeast part of the United States. Unlike in the southern part, it is cold in the northeast area during winter when it is difficult for the squirrel to find its main source of food, nuts. What this squirrel does is collect and prepare nuts in autumn when there are plenty of nuts. Then, it digs many holes in the ground and hides the nuts in the holes. Instead of putting all the nuts in one hole, it digs hundreds of holes every fall and only puts one nut in each hole. The reason is that in this way, it can increase its chances of finding enough food and, therefore, survival. Even if some hidden nuts happen to be found by other animals, say, a curious cat, the squirrel still has enough nuts to survive the winter and even early spring.
