解析試題分析:
【小題1】C。根據(jù)后面的 to be having a good time 這個不定式的進(jìn)行時只有 appear 和 pretend 這兩個詞能使用,再根據(jù)上下語境是“看起來”玩得很開心,而不是“假裝”。
【小題2】B。根據(jù)后面的“喊”和“沒有回聲”來判斷答案,quiet是“寂靜、沒有聲音”之意,而不能選calm(沉著、冷靜)。
【小題3】D。因為作者喊他女兒,沒有聽到應(yīng)聲,所以又“重復(fù)”了他的問題。
【小題4】A。從前面的動作,“起身、跑出書房”,接著“進(jìn)入”起居室。into是動態(tài)介詞,此處相當(dāng)于and went into。
【小題5】B。從前面的動詞 follow, watch 以及 as her little behind 判斷,他女兒看到他,趕緊“拐入”洗澡間。
【小題6】C。此處 corner 用作動詞,表示“把…難住、走投無路”,因為他女兒進(jìn)入衛(wèi)生間,所以把他給“難住了”。
【小題7】D。根據(jù)下一句的意思,他女兒沒有聽他的話,“拒絕”回來。
【小題8】A。因為她是一個三歲的小女孩,她用她媽媽的唇膏打扮自己,怕爸爸罵她,所以“慢慢地”走到她爸爸跟前。
【小題9】D。表示滿臉都被唇膏“覆蓋(涂)”。
【小題10】A。因為是個三歲的小孩,所以說話是一個字一個字地嘣,他爸爸聽到的是她所嘣出來的“每個字”的聲音。
【小題11】A。根據(jù)前面的 many times 來判斷,她爸爸已經(jīng)“告訴”她好多遍了。
【小題12】D。根據(jù)上文作者沒有辦法,還是挑選了他說了很多遍的“老話”。
【小題13】D。根據(jù)前后兩個動作的順序,在放松“之前”,我看了看她毛衣上的“字”。
【小題14】B。因為大人看小孩是居高臨下,即往“下”看。
【小題15】B。根據(jù)后面的 I’M A PERFECT LITTLE ANGEL! 這些都是大寫的“字母”。
【小題16】B。當(dāng)作者看到他女兒那淚汪汪的眼(受委屈的樣子),他感到他再次看到的不是一個不聽話的壞女孩。
【小題17】A。因為前半句說作者看到的不是一個不聽話的壞女孩,再從毛衣上的字來看,所以認(rèn)為她是一個有“價值”的小天使。
【小題18】C。根據(jù)下一句中的 sweetheart,作者認(rèn)為差點(diǎn)“傷害(毀壞)”了他女兒那顆天真、甜美的心。
【小題19】C。因為上文敘述了作者女兒用她媽媽的唇膏涂在臉上,所以他們拍了一張看起來很“特殊的”照片。
【小題20】D。根據(jù)后面的 chance 表示“得到”或“失去”機(jī)會,根據(jù)句意應(yīng)該選 miss。
考點(diǎn):考查故事類完型填空
點(diǎn)評:本文敘述作者3歲的小女兒用她媽媽的化妝品想把自己打扮成一個小天使的故事。
從選項中可以看出,本大題主要還是考查了詞匯的辨析與運(yùn)用,但更加注重綜合語言能力的運(yùn)用,需要根據(jù)故事情節(jié),了解詞匯用法的同時,結(jié)合語境,做出準(zhǔn)確的判斷。

The next day I wore a comfortable T-shirt to school. What's more, I had lunch outside the cafeteria, __37__ beside those mean girls. They were shocked that I should dare to walk into their territory. I felt __38_ too—free and happy.

Sometimes people still look at me strangely. They __39_ and stare, but I don't let it get to me. I have applied to several modeling companies, and at least one company is considering me for jobs. Maybe I'll never __40_ posing on the runway, but I do know one thing: I'm done.

I made a promise to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.

The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical passage about husbands and their wives. Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.

And it did. On arriving at the beach cottage, I kissed Evelyn meeting me at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.” “Oh, Tom, you noticed”, she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled. After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyn’s been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.

So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that’s how the whole vacation passed. I made a new promise to keep on remembering to choose love.

There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression.

“What’s the matter?” I asked her.

“Tom,” she said in a voice filled with distress, “ I don’t?”

“What do you mean?”

“Well…that checkup I had several weeks ago…our doctor…did he tell you something about me? Tom, you’ve been so good to me…am I dying?”

It took a moment for it all to be understood. Then I burst out laughing.

“No, honey,” I said, wrapping her in my arms. “You’re not dying; I’m just starting to live.”

From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage ______.

A. with his family     B. with Evelyn    C. alone      D. with his children

During the two weeks on the beach, Tom showed more love to his wife because ______.

A. he was determined to be a good husband

B. he had made a lot of money in his Wall Street firm

C. she looked lovely in her new clothes

D. the doctor said his wife was seriously ill

The author says, “There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment.” What does “one thing” refer to?

A. He praised her sweater, which puzzled her.

B. She insisted on visiting a museum, which he hated.

C. He knew something about her illness but didn’t tell her.

D. He was so good to her that she thought she must be dying.

By saying “I’m just starting to live,” Tom means that ______.

A. he is just beginning to understand the real meaning of life

B. he is just beginning to enjoy life as a loving husband

C. he lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to change

D. he is beginning to feel regret for what he did to his wife before

I used to work in an office, which had a Iocust tree growing outside the window. It had grown into a tall tree and must have been there for a long time. The tree blocked the view and made the office seem dull. Unfortunately, this happened to be the room assigned to me, and l was depressed by it for quite some time.

When the first spring came, everything was green except the locust tree.I felt very happy because I had thought it had died!

One morning, when I opened the window for some fresh air, I unexpectedly smelt a familiar sweet scent floating into my office which I could not name. Suddenly,I realized it was the locust tree!The tree that I thought dead was in full bloom!

From then on, I usually came to the office very early to see dew forming on the locust tree blossoms, and was eager to see spring again every year.

During summer, the green leaves provided shade protecting me from the harsh sunlight, but allowing enough light in to make it pleasant. In autumn, the leaves turned many different colors. Its beauty touched my soul. Many times, I thought to take photos but never did. Then, I had to leave in a hurry. Later in life, it became a great regret that I had not done so.

Actually, many times in our lives we think we own something and thus do not value it. We don't feel regretful until we lose it one day! Moreover, sometimes, we have to accept the things we don't want and need to discover the hidden beauty to find unexpected joy!

I was waiting for a phone call from my agent. He had left a message the night before, telling me that my show was to be cancelled. I called him several times, but each time his secretary told me that he was in a meeting and that he would call me later. So I waited and waited, but there was still no call. Three hours passing by, I became more and more impatient. I was certain that my agent didn’t care about my work, and he didn’t care about me. I was overcome with that thought. I started to shout at the phone, “Let me wait, will you? Who do you think you are?”

    At that time I didn’t realize my wife was looking on. Without showing her surprise, she rushed in, seized the phone, tore off the wires, and shouted at the phone, “Yeah! Who do you think you are? Bad telephone! Bad telephone!” And she swept it into the wastebasket.

    I stood watching her, speechless. What on earth… ?

    She stepped to the doorway and shouted at the rest of the house, “Now hear this! All objects in this room – if you do anything to upset my husband, out you go!”

    Then she turned to me, kissed me and said calmly, “Honey, you just have to learn how to take control. ” With that, she left the room.

    After watching a crazy woman rushing in and out, shouting at everything in sight, I noticed that something in my mood had changed. I was laughing. How could I have trouble with that phone? Her antics helped me realize I had been driven crazy by small things. Twenty minutes later my agent did call. I was able to listen to him and talk to him calmly.
