【解析】

試題分析：一個小男孩因為腿部殘疾而整日消沉，他的父親為了幫助他樹立信心，讓兄弟姐妹們一起種樹，之后父親偷偷地幫助他，結(jié)果他的樹苗長得最好。小男孩找回了自信，長大后他沒有成為植物學(xué)家而是當(dāng)選為美國總統(tǒng)，他就是富蘭克林.羅斯福。

1.A.bravely“勇敢地”； B.seldom“很少，不�！�； C.freely“自由地”； D.always“總是，經(jīng)�！保�根據(jù)上文提到這個小男孩總是認(rèn)為他是世界上“the most unfortunate child”（最不幸的孩子），所以應(yīng)選擇副詞B.seldom來修飾動詞played ，即他很少和同學(xué)們一塊兒玩。故正確答案為B.

2.A.raised“提高，升，舉”； B.nodded“點頭”； C.lowered “使…降低/降下”； D.knocked“敲”，根據(jù)上文可知這個小男孩因為殘疾而不自信，所以老師讓他回答問題時，他總是“without a word”（不說一句話），把頭“低下”，故正確答案為C. lowered.

3.

4.Seeing his brothers and sisters watering the trees , however, the boy had an idea.”可知，該處應(yīng)是父親想讓“孩子們”在房子前面每人種一棵樹。故正確答案為C.

5.bought the little boy his favorite gift”，為該空的提示線索。故正確答案為C.gift.

6. 動詞辨析。根據(jù)上下文的語意可知，“Seeing his brothers and sisters watering the trees, however, the boy had an idea.”，“it didn’t fade”小男孩的兄弟姐妹都在給各自所種的樹澆水，而（他行動不便）他就有了個主意。且下文提到他吃驚地發(fā)現(xiàn)樹苗并沒有枯萎，故他的想法是讓樹苗“死去”。故答案為A.

7.A.led to“導(dǎo)致”； B.attended to“照料；專心于，處理”； C.belonged to“屬于”； D.objected to“反對”，根據(jù)語意可知，小男孩打算放棄他的樹苗，所以在偶爾澆了一兩次水之后，他就不再“照顧”他的樹苗了。故正確答案為B.

8.A.pleased“高興的”； B.upset“心煩的，不高興的”； C.worried“擔(dān)心的”； D.surprised“吃驚的”，根據(jù)文意可知，對于自己說放棄的樹苗，小男孩本以為樹苗會枯萎，結(jié)果卻發(fā)現(xiàn)它長出了新葉子，所以他應(yīng)感到“吃驚”，故正確答案為D.

9.A.Compared with“同…相比較”； B.Similar to“同…相似”； C.Connected to“與…有聯(lián)系；與…有關(guān)聯(lián)；與…連接”； D.Popular with“受…的歡迎”，因為他是通過“對比”得出結(jié)論：他的樹苗比他的兄弟姐妹的更綠。故正確答案為A.

10.A.request“請求；要求”； B.schedule“時間表”； C.promise“承諾，許諾”； D.secret“秘密”，根據(jù)下文“bought the little boy his favorite gift”，顯然他的父親遵守了“諾言”。故正確答案為C.

11.A.president“總統(tǒng)；校長；總裁”； B.botanist“植物學(xué)家”； C.artist“藝術(shù)家”； D.researcher“研究員”， 根據(jù)常理，樹種得好應(yīng)該有希望成為“植物學(xué)家”。且下文最后一段中“The little boy didn’t become a botanist(植物學(xué)家)”也是線索提示。故正確答案為B.

12.A.smart“聰明的”； B.desperate“拼命的；危急的”； C.optimistic“樂觀的”； D.practical“實際的，現(xiàn)實的”，根據(jù)種樹這件事后，顯然這個孩子變得“樂觀”起來了。故正確答案為C.

13.A.field“田野；領(lǐng)域”； B.courtyard“庭院”； C.park“公園；停車處”； D.farm“農(nóng)場”，根據(jù)文章說提到的場景，他晚上睡不著、起來，看到父親在給他的樹苗噴灑些什么東西，這時他顯然在courtyard“庭院”，故正確答案為B.

14.his father had been__16____ fertilizing(施肥)his small tree!”可知，一直是他的“父親”在給他的樹苗施肥。所以該處他看到得在給他的樹苗噴灑東西的是他的“父親”，故正確答案為C.

15.A.All of a sudden“突然”； B.For a moment“片刻，一會兒”； C.In time“及時”； D.From then on“從那時起”，父親的行為讓他“突然”明白他的父親一直在給他的樹苗施肥（所以他的樹苗才能長得最好）。故正確答案為A.

16.A.busily“忙碌地”； B.quietly“靜靜地”； C.cautiously“謹(jǐn)慎地”； D.secretly“秘密地”，這個小男孩無意中才發(fā)現(xiàn)一直是父親在幫他給樹苗施肥，所以父親做這件事一直是瞞著大家、“悄悄地、秘密地”。故正確答案為D.

17.A.water“水”； B.tears“眼淚”； C.sweat“汗水”； D. rain “雨”，該處意為：他回到了自己的房間，感動的落“淚”了。故正確答案為B.

18.A.Hours“幾小時”； B.Months“幾個月”； C.Decades“幾十年”； D.Centuries“幾個世紀(jì)”，一個人的一生應(yīng)該是幾十年的時光，故C.Decades“數(shù)十年”符合語境。

19.A.last“最后的；最近的”； B.only“僅僅”； C.least“最少的；最小的”； D.best“最好的”，愛是人生“最好的”營養(yǎng)品。故正確答案為D.

20.A.Even if“即使”；B.Now that“既然，由于”； C.If only“要是…多好”；D.What if“要是…將會怎樣”，而該句句意為“即使”僅僅是一滴清楚的水也仍能幫助一棵樹茁壯成長。故要選擇A.Even if“即使”來引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句。
