解析【文章大意】本文是一篇科幻短篇小说。James今天没作业,他想邀请同学到家里玩,去征求母亲的同意。母亲拒绝,因为母亲的头痛以及父亲的残疾,令母亲觉得James的同学会认为家里挺怪异的,由此James会遭受嘲笑。但聪明的James灵活运用了课堂上学到的机器人科学知识,使父母亲两人都改变了不舒服的境况。因此获得了邀请同学到家玩的许可。
【小题1】C 考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。星期五,没作业,因此邀请同学到家玩。 chance 机会;message 信息 ;homework 作业;difficulty 困难。
【小题2】 A. 考查形容词,动词词义辨析及语境理解。下文说父亲残疾,需要休息;而在这段描绘了父亲头伏在胳膊上(resting his head on his arms),可以想象出父亲感觉不舒服,正在睡(下文说接通电源后父亲就张开了眼睛)。asleep 熟睡; reading 阅读;alone 孤身一人;standing 站立。B,D选项不符合上下文语境;父亲明显在母亲身边,并不是一个人,所以C选项错误。
【小题3】B 考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。从James的请求及其语气,母亲显然看出他急切想让同学到家玩。see 看出,明白;explain 解释;agree 同意;doubt 怀疑。
【小题4】 B考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。 当遭到母亲的不允许后,他伤心地问(James asked sadly)为什么,很可能几乎含着眼泪。 terror 恐惧;  tears 眼泪; surprise 惊奇; silence 沉默。
【小题5】D 考查形容词词义辨析及语境理解。fair 公平;easy 容易; good 良好; hard 艰难。James从来没邀请过同学来家玩。而现在遭到母亲的不许可,对于他来说,星期五没有同学来是很伤心,很难熬的一天。应当说是不公平的一件事,所以A选项错误。
【小题6】A考查形容词词义辨析及语境理解。上文介绍过母亲不同意James的要求是因为担心他同学会认为家里异常而嘲笑他(But I’m just worried other people might think we’re a little… strange.)。这里James反驳说,他认为家里很寻常(We’re just ordinary people。),一点不古怪。 Strange 奇怪;normal 正常;popular 流行;anxious 焦急。
【小题7】A考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。母亲的感受,脖子疼导致头痛得很厉害。Headache 头痛;; loss失去,损失;task任务;day天,日子
【小题8】D考查形容词词义辨析及语境理解。可怜的父亲需要休息(He really needs a rest.),很可能身体感觉不舒服。ill 生病的;funny滑稽的;C. sorry难过的;well健康的(形容词)。A选项与D选项意思正好相反。
【小题9】B考查连词词义辨析及语境理解。James 问话的意思是,要是他能使父母亲舒服点,他的请求是否可以满足。该句逗号前后存在逻辑上的条件关系(“_44__ I can make you and Dad feel better, can Brett come over? Please。)As随着; If 如果;Since自从;Before在…之前。 
【小题10】C 考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。James跑向厨房,拉开抽屉,找到他所需要的东西。 kept保持;controlled控制;found找到;returned 归还。感觉下文可知他用找到的扳手来修理父母亲身上的故障。
【小题11】C考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。James 找到扳子后,做些修缮和调整,让母亲更舒服点。requests请求;thoughts想法;repairs维修;Instructions 指示,说明,James不仅说了,而且做了,所以此词不符合文意。
【小题12】B 考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。不花几秒钟,James就调整好母亲脖子上的绷带,因此露出了满意的微笑。 sympathy同情心;satisfaction满意; bitterness难过,苦涩; politeness 礼貌。
【小题13】D考查副词词义辨析及语境理解。母亲感觉好多了,并问他是如何做到的。James显然是自豪地回答,那简单!句中的形容词easy说明他很自豪。embarrassedly尴尬地;gratefully感激地;impatiently不耐烦地;proudly 自豪地;
【小题14】A 考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。James找到了母亲不舒服的原因是父亲把螺栓扭得太紧(Dad had tightened your neck bolts (螺栓) too much!),他只不过调松些。adjusted调整;collected收集,整理;produced生成;covered 覆盖,采访。
【小题15】C考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。由上文可知爸爸的身体也不好,所以妈妈请求James也帮爸爸。greet问候;accompany陪伴;help帮助;ask 请求。
【小题16】A考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。把父亲脖子后的头发拢起,要插入了一根电线。lifted提高,举起;caught抓住;gave给予;filled 充满。
【小题17】B 考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。television电视; power权力,电;light光线,灯;gas汽油; 把电线插入父亲的脑袋里(plugged the electric wire into Dad’s head. ),然后接通的是电源。James想给爸爸充电了。C选项是电灯的意思,不符合语境。
【小题18】D考查动词短语词义辨析及语境理解。 grew up成长;长大;lay down放下; broke down出故障,身体垮掉;sat up 坐起来。父亲原先是伏在胳膊上睡,一接通电源,他张开了眼睛,立即坐了起来,说明爸爸的问题好了。
【小题19】C考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。food食物;temperature温度;battery电池; blood 血。接通电源,父亲就没睡意,更舒服了。说明爸爸身体不好可能是因为体内的电池电量不足。
【小题20】D 考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。 James运用自己的聪明才智使得父母亲都感觉舒服了,他的朋友但会接受这确实是不寻常的一家。prove证明;expect期待;suspect怀疑; accept接受。
考点:考查记叙文

After years of experience, Brenda was faced with a challenge in Sunday School. However, she just didn’t know how to        it in a good way. She had never been asked to teach a child quite like Cindy!
Cindy, you see, was      . She came from a broken home. And although she was really
      , she thought she was so bad that she could not be successful.      , Cindy needed care, and most of all, Cindy needed love! There just had to be a way of        her. Day after day, Brenda would pray for Cindy, yet Sunday would come and go and she saw       , if any, change.
Then one day Brenda asked Cindy if she could      a role in a Christmas programme the children were        to do. Cindy’s answer was, “Don’t you think you can find someone better than me?”
“Better than you?” came Brenda’s      . “What makes you think there is      better than you?”
“Well, I’ve        been asked to do anything before because I’m not good. I won’t get the  part      and then everyone will be mad at me for messing up(弄糟)their      ,” came Cindy’s answer.
“Oh, Cindy,” said Brenda in a        voice. “I am so        that you think that, but you are so wrong. Don’t you realize how        you are?”
“No,”       a reply in a low voice because Cindy was now  in        .
“But Cindy, in my eyes, you are special and you can also do somethin g well like others,” Brenda said.
“Really? Do you think so really? Thank you, Miss Brenda! Nobody has believed in me like you.       I’ll have a try,” said Cindy as she        a hug from her teacher for the first time!

The train had started moving. It was      with people of all ages, mostly with the middle-aged workers and young students. Near the      sat an old man with his thirty-year-old son. As the train moved by, the son was overjoyed with the        outside. “See, dad, the scenery of green trees moving        is very beautiful.”
This behavior from a        son made the other people feel strange about him. Everyone was       about the son. “This person seems to be       ,” a newly-married man whispered to his wife.
Suddenly it started   . Lots of drops fell on the travelers through the open window. The son excitedly said to his father, “See, dad, how      the rain is, too.” The man’s wife was annoyed by the rain drops spoiling (弄坏) her      suit. The young man said to the father, “Can’t you see it raining yourself? Your son        be mentally ill. Get him to a hospital!”
The old man        at first, feeling rather hurt and then replied, “We are on the way back from the       . My son was        from birth. He just recovered from an eye operation yesterday. The rain and nature are all new to his eyes. Please      us for the inconvenience that we may have caused.”
The things we see may be right from the outside      we know the truth,      the lesson learnt may be too late. Imam Ali once said: A fool’s mind is at the mercy of his tongue and a wise man’s tongue is under the control of his      . So try to understand the problem better before taking a(n)     action. As the saying goes, “It is better to light up a candle instead of blaming the       .”

The elderly Chinese man in the small booth (售票口) behind the thick glass shook his head. I didn't need to know a word of Chinese to understand there were      beds available for the Thursday night train from Beijing to Shanghai. I had a Friday morning
    with my college friend. I must be on that train. Desperate times      desperate measures. So I squatted(蹲下). I assumed that this was the international      for “Are there any hard seats available?”
    , there were. It was seat 109. Very quickly, I found it. The Chinese man sitting in it, however, seemed to beg to differ.
I panicked. I am a man who usually avoids conflicts(冲突) and so I      my seat, as if still looking, to buy myself more time. I had two options: The first is to be a      and ask for what was rightfully mine. The second was to   23  and spend the next 13 hours staying in a corner.
Well, nine out of ten times I choose the second option. But at that moment, every square inch of          had already been claimed. There wasn’t      a corner in which to cower(退缩). So, I mustered up(聚集) some      and presented the man with my proof of ownership. He looked at my ticket and     .
About midnight my     became heavy and I was ready for the lights to dim and my date      
Ms ZZZZ to start. But the room      bright and hot. I tried to persevere and was even able to work     into a sleeping position.
It is here I must admit: I have a     bladder (膀胱). The man next to me drank a Coca-Cola, a bag of milk and a bottle of water and      the course of 13 hours he did not move once. I drank      but finally, I made my way to the bathroom at 3:02 am.
After waiting in a thick cloud of cigarette smoke, I finally used the bathroom. The philosophy(原则) of my sleeping      was right: if you get a seat on a train, don’t move.
