Nobel arranged in his _27_ to give the largest part of his money to _28_ the Nobel prizes，which would be awarded to people who made great _29_ to the causes of peace，literature，and the sciences. So _30_ ，Nobel had to die before he realized what his life was really about. ‎ ‎21. A. found B. misunderstood C. mistook D. judged ‎22. A. introducing B. announcing C. implying D. advertising ‎23.

A. generally B. basically C. usually D. certainly 本文记叙了阿尔佛雷德·诺贝尔决定设立诺贝尔奖金的经过。‎ ‎21. 【答案】C。‎ ‎【解析】因mistake A for B （将A误以为B）是固定搭配。‎ ‎22. 【答案】B。‎ ‎【解析】由常识可知，报社应是“发布”消息，故用announce （give information about）。‎ ‎23. 【答案】C。‎ ‎【解析】由首句became a millionaire可知。‎ ‎24. 【答案】A。‎ ‎【解析】根据常识，看到自己本来死却报道死了这样的消息，特别是说自己通过kill more people faster来发财的评论，应当是“不高兴，苦恼（unhappy or annoyed）”，不可能是“兴奋的（excited）”“高兴的（pleased）”“渴望的（anxious）”。‎ ‎25. 【答案】A。‎ ‎【解析】与destruction（毁灭）并列并且上文death原词复现故选出A。‎ ‎26. 【答案】D。‎ ‎【解析】由后文设立奖金可知，是为了改变自我形象，要设法“被别人充满爱与尊敬地铭记（be remember with love and respect）”。‎ ‎27. 【答案】C。‎ ‎【解析】由最后一句Nobel had to die before he realized…可知，是在“遗嘱（will）”中作的安排。‎ ‎28. 【答案】A。‎ ‎【解析】根据与名词the Nobel prizes的搭配，又结合常识，应当是“设立”诺贝尔奖金。‎ ‎29. 【答案】D。‎ ‎【解析】奖金应当是将给那些为世界和平、文学和科学等领域做出过巨大贡献的人。make contributions to…（对……作出贡献）是固定搭配。‎ ‎30. 【答案】B ‎【解析】这个题最有争议了。我认为这句话不可以直译为：诺贝尔在认识到他的人生的真正意义之前就不得不死去了。这不仅不合情理，也很明显与作者所设置的写作背景不符。语言是非常灵活的，我们不妨来意译：好在诺贝尔认识到了自己人生的真谛，否则他就是行尸走肉，灵魂早已死去。‎ 而这句话，则是作者对诺贝尔的评语。可以读得出来，作者对诺贝尔的晚年还是抱赞赏态度的。‎ 四、（全国卷1与海南，宁夏卷相同）‎ 第二节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ The True Story of Treasure Island It was always thought that Treasure Island was the product of Robert Louis Stevenson’s imagination. ___36___，recent research has found the true story of this exciting work.‎ Stevenson, a Scotsman, had lived 37 for many years in 1881 he returned to Scotland for a 38 .
