【答案】

1.C

【详解】本题考查It的用法。相当于It was a few minutes past three when…,我丈夫骑车摔去的时候,是在三点钟多一点。

2.D

【详解】从文中提到的骑马过栏杆从马上掉下来,动作应当是jump(跳)而不应当是walk(走),climb(爬),pull(拉)。

3.B

【详解】根据意思,胸下瘫痪的人会不能正常呼吸,suitable(适合的),unsuitable(不适合),able(能够),所以选择unable(不能够)。

4.A

【详解】在他从马上摔下来那时起,我们就过上了残疾人的生活,有了许多意想不到的挑战。 disability(残疾),possession(财产,拥有物),convenience(方便),experience(经历,经验)

5.D

【详解】本题考查连词的用法,根据意思,这里应当有转折的含义。然而我们后来发现那都是共度难关的献礼。本来是坏事,但作者却称之为gifts. 因为后文里有很多人关心。

6.A

【详解】共度难关。只有选择share difficulties共同解决困难,才会是值得庆幸的事情。其他的几个意思上讲不通。

7.C

【详解】从全文意思可知这句话的意思是“灾难也会有好的一面”。所以选择wonderful。

8.B

【详解】,每天都有信或名信片像雪片那样飞来。说明世人是如此care for(关心)Chris。

9.A

【详解】因为受伤了,可以看出是在住院治疗的三周内,收到了35,000封邮件。所以是medical centre(医护中心),选择A。

10.D

【详解】由前文的letters and postcards poured in every day可以看出这里应当选择mail(邮件)。

11.B

【详解】由we opened letter after letter(我们打开一封封的信)而前文里提到是my husband摔伤了,说明这里的we是夫妻关系。As a family,作为一家人,我们一起打开一封封的信。

12.C

【详解】那些信能给我们的应当是许多comfort(安慰),而不会是effect(效果,影响), effort(努力)或explanation(解释)

13.A

【详解】根据前句,那些mail给了我们安慰和力量,所以我们用它们去encourage(鼓励)我们自己。 express(表达)

14.B

【详解】到标上“funny”(有趣的)这类邮件里去找,自然是需要“欢笑”的时候。因为 “funny”的东西能给我们带来 “laugh”

15.C

【详解】到“Disabled”的信中找的经验,可以判断这些建议是来自于那些people in wheelchairs(坐在轮椅上的人)或者是甚至是people in bed(瘫痪在床)的人。

16.D

【详解】happily说明生活得高兴,and连接的并列部分,可以推断出这里应当是successfully(成功地生活着的人),如果使用bitterly(凄苦地),weakly,那么应当是转折关系,需要用but连接。

17.A

【详解】本题考查外国人说话的习惯连接语,我们意识到这些信应当大家共享,所以我们在这里给你们看上一封。选择 here。 这种类似的用法如:Here is some advice for you.   This is VOA. Here is the news from China.

18.D

【详解】文章一开头就讲到了骑马摔伤的,所以选择riding。

19.C

【详解】给你勇气和力量来面对的挑战应当是一个困难的一个。而不是technical(技术的),valuable(有价值的,宝贵的),different(不同的),所以选择C。

20.B

【详解】本题是这篇完形填空最难的一题,很容易误选为alive让你活着,答案应该是close,表示我们永远和你在一起,我们永远支持你,把你当成我们亲密的朋友。

【备考建议】考查语境,是这题的点睛之笔,也为这篇完形填空画了一个圆满的句号。学生应该在做题时充分考虑所出现的语境,将自己置身于文中,那样才能做对此题。所以这篇完形做全对还是相当困难的。

My name is Ralph and I am 42 years old. I work in a factory that I enjoy very much. On May 27, 1999, I was working on an automatic machine. While working my hand was pulled into the machine and my middle finger on my right hand was ripped off. I had surgery to replace what was left of the finger and now I have a finger that is almost as long as my index finger.

Over the years I have been very blessed for a full and healthy life. Most of all, blessed for having my wife. We have grown together and grown in our faith. Life is going to go on with or without my finger. I was not going to let this take over my life and I pushed to go back to work and got light duty.

This was where my lesson began. When I returned to work, I started getting comments and some teasing from people asking me if it was worth losing my finger over a pack of cigarettes. Someone started a rumor that I had dropped a pack of cigarettes and reached down to pick them up and that is how I lost my finger. This is not true. This rumor hurt more than losing my finger in that machine. Everyone was called in to a meeting to resolve this matter and get the story straight. I had to share my lesson.

We can ruin a person’s life by just a few bad words. There is an old saying that I will never forget: “Words and water are easily poured, but impossible to recover.” So please remember to watch what you say.

1.According to the author, his index finger on his right hand is almost as long as ________.

A. his middle finger on his right hand

B. his middle finger on his left hand

C. his thumb on his right hand

D. his thumb on his left hand

2.From the second paragraph, we know that the author ________.

A. was not happy with a short finger

B. had a good relationship with his wife

C. didn’t want to work any more in the factory

D. wanted to find an important job

3.The rumour about the author is that he lost his finger ________.

A. when he was picking up a pack of cigarettes that had fallen into the machine

B. because he was not careful and smoked when running the machine

C. because he was too sleepy to operate the machine properly 

D. when he was reaching down to fix something wrong in the machine

4.Which of the following can match the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?

A. Nothing is really beautiful but truth.

B. Bad words are meaningless.

C. Lies having short legs can do harm.
