"Just think, my little girl, only ten dozen left for each of us and then we're   24   .” such is Dad—whether problem he   25   , he never gives up.

  16   , the disastrous effects of the drought were felt all over our country. It was a challenging time for everyone,   27   Dad remained optimistic. He   28   to be grateful for other things like good health and food on our plates. Only then did I truly begin to   29   Dad and his faith that guided us through the hard times.

Dad is also a living example of real   30   . From dawn to dusk, he works countless hours to   31   our family. He always puts our happiness   32    his own, and never fails to cheer me on at my sports games   33   his exhaustion after long days.

 {定文体抓主旨}:本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。作者包含感情地描述了记忆中跟爸爸在一起度过的时光,爸爸对待生活的乐观态度,对待子女的无私的奉献和爱跃然纸上,让作者,让读者感慨无限。本篇难度:中等。

{篇章结构}:

段落

关键词

大意推测

第一部分(para.1)

father’s hands; calluses and roughness; the story of his life

父亲的手满是老茧很粗糙;农民的一生,辛苦奋斗的一生

第二部分(para.2--4)

picking sweet corn; frustrated; laughed; never gives up; optimistic; through the hard times; real love

在田里摘玉米,很泄气;父亲笑,不言放弃;乐观向上;带领我们走过艰难岁月;对家人无私的奉献和爱

第三部分(para.5)

life lessons; father, teacher, friend and hero

从父亲那里学到的很多,将伴随自己一生;是父亲,是老师,是朋友,更是自己心目中的英雄。

16.C。前面的句子提到父亲的手上满是老茧很粗糙,推测他的职业是农民最合适,更重要的是,下文中说到了父子在田里摘棉花,更加印证了是农民的判断。四个选项的意思分别是老师,园丁,农民,杂货商。

17.D。根据句意,既然发生了严旱灾,那么用burning来修饰desert最合适不过了。A,B,C三个选项的意思分别是暴风雨的,生动的,消失的,均与句意不符,排除。

18.A。fill an order是一个固定短语,意思是“交付订货”,此句的意思是,我跟父亲正在田里摘玉米,以便交付杂货店定的货。

19.B。此题需要结合后面一句话去做,后一句的意思是“然而这一次,这个过程进展不快”,说明前面的二十分钟是“通常情况”下所需要的时间,因此应该用副词normally。

20.A。事情进展如何,常用动词go,而不用begin, occur, change。

21.B。平时只需要二十分钟,可是这次,四十分钟过后,还没结束,“仍然”还需要二十分钟。其他三个选项均不能表达此意。

22.C。由于这次摘玉米用的时间太长,太辛苦,所以“我”很泄气也很“生气”,这个可以结合后面“我”说的话来推断出来:重重的摔篮子,然后说“如果杂货店还要那他们可以自己摘玉米”,这些都可以印证“我”很生气,而不是A吃惊,B紧张,D害怕,

23.D。看到“我”生气的样子,爸爸“笑”着安慰我。

24.B。本句意思是:我们每人“仅仅”需要摘十打,然后我们就结束了。be done是固定用法,意思是“结束,做完了”。

25.A。本句意思是:无论他“遇到”什么难题,他都不会放弃。四个选项的意思分别是:遇到,抚养,解出(难题),考虑,只有选项A符合句意。

26.C。本句的意思是:这次干旱的灾难性影响在全国都能感受得到。这是坏事,所以应该用unfortunately. 其他三个选项的意思分别是:谢天谢地;满怀希望地;很奇怪,均与句意不符。

27.D。句子的前半部分说旱灾对于每个人都是一种挑战,后半部分说父亲保持乐观,两者之间显然是一种转折关系,应该用连词but。

28.B。四个选项后面加上to be之后的意思分别是:碰巧是;似乎是;继续是;目的是,只有选项B合乎句意。

29.B。句子意思是:就是在那时,我才开始“感激”父亲以及他引导我们走过艰难岁月的信念。四个选项的意思分别是:面对 感激 检查 质问,只有选项B符合句意。

30.A。这句话是本段落的主题句,从下文可以看出,“父亲”对于家庭无私的风险已经对子女无私的爱,所以选择love是最合适的。其它三个选项的意思分别是:自豪,友谊,诚实,均不符合句意。

31.A。句子的意思是:父亲每天工作很长时间来“养家”,所以应该选择support。其他三个选项的意思分别是:安置,开始,使……有印象,均不符合句意。

32.B。句意为:他总是把我们的幸福放在他自己的“前面”,而且……。

33.A。长时间工作之后,“尽管”很累,也从不忘记在我参加比赛的时候为我打气加油。“累”和“给我打气加油”之间是转折关系,所以应该用in spite of。其它三个选项的意思分别是:在……的条件下,在……的控制下,取代,均不合句意。

34.C。句子的意思是:他的爱和无私激励着我更加富有同情心和“更体谅人”,把别人放在前面考虑。解题关键是“putting others first”,这其实就是对considerate的解释。

35.D。句中的I have learned from you 是一个定语从句,空处就是它所修饰先行词,从句中的谓语动词learned缺少宾语,空处就是它的宾语,这样就是learn … from you,从四个选项中找一个词填到这个省略号中做宾语,lessons是最合适的,意思是“我从你那里学习到的生活上的一些经验教训”。其它三个选项的意思分别是:历史,箴言,模式,放到句中均不符合句意。

He was on the old orange couch (长沙发), sitting up on his front legs,   47   something to happen. He looked at me as if to say, “I’m __48__, pet me. I need a good hug.” Even the couch begged me to sit on it.

       In one movement I settled down onto the soft   49  . This couch represented my birth, my parents’ marriage, and hundreds of other little __50__.

       As I held Gladiator, my heart started beating heavily. My mind was __51__ with questions: What’s life? Am I really alive? Are you listening to me? Every time I moved my hand down Gladiator’s body, I had a __52__ thought; each touch sang a different song.

       I forgot all about the __53__ and the next day’s surprise. The __54__ was so full of warmth and silence that I sank into its arms. Falling asleep with the big cat in my arms, I felt all my worries __55__ move away.

Dear Alcohol,

You’ve been around forever. I can remember all the pain you’ve caused for me.

Do you remember the night you almost took my father’s life? I do. He loves you. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me. He’s addicted to you, to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them. You just sat back and laughed as his car went spinning through the street, crashing into two other cars. He wasn’t the only one hurt by you that night.
Do you remember the night of my first high school party? You were there. My friends were intrigued by you. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again, drinking all of you that they could. I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen completely. “I’m so embarrassed,” they said as I held their hair back so that they could vomit (呕吐). “I’m sorry,” they said when I called taxies for them, walking them out and paying the driver in advance. “This won’t happen again,” they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped. Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night thanks to you.

Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car? He died the next morning too. His sister walked home from her dance lesson, and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio. She didn’t realize her brother was in the midst of it all. She never saw him again. And it’s all your fault.
I wish you’d walk out of my life forever. I don’t want anything to do with you. Look at all the pain you’ve caused. Sure, you’ve made people happy too from time to time. But the damage you’ve caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable. Stop luring (引诱) in the people I love. Stop hurting me, please.

Sincerely,Anonymous
