【解析】

試題分析:作者的兒子在一次意外事故中被嚴重燒傷,在作者的勸說下,他昂首挺胸地返回了學校,并主動放棄了整容手術(shù)。誠然,外表只是虛假的東西,真正重要的是人的內(nèi)心。

1.A 對方給作者打電話,說作者的兒子被“送進”了急診室。turn in表示“歸還”,不符合語境。

2.C 根據(jù)本句后半部分的“fly him to the burn unit in Seattle”可知對方已經(jīng)聯(lián)系好了“飛機”,打算 把作者的兒子送往西雅圖治療。

3.A 結(jié)合上文提到的內(nèi)容可知作者立刻意識到了事態(tài)的“嚴重性”。

4.D 根據(jù)下文內(nèi)容可知作者的兒子被燒傷是“意外事故”。A項常用來表示重大事件。

5.B 根據(jù)本句后半部分的內(nèi)容可知是“點燃”木炭時。

6.C 澆有過多汽油的木炭噴出的火苗燒著了作者兒子的襯衣,此處catch可理解為“著(火)燒 著”。

7.A 當時,作者的兒子身上火勢熊熊,“幸運的是”,其中一個孩子反應敏捷,及時采取行動, 從而挽救了作者兒子的生命。

8.D 那個孩子的目的是想撲滅作者兒子身上的大火,由此可推斷他是讓作者的兒子在草地上“滾 動”。

9.D 那個孩子雖然救了作者兒子一命,卻沒能“及時”挽回大火對作者的兒子造成的肉體傷害 的局面。

10.B 上文提到作者的兒子被送往西雅圖救治,所以此處是作者的兒子經(jīng)過治療后“康復”。

11.C 根據(jù)本句后半部分的內(nèi)容可知這里說的是六個月之內(nèi)不能進行整容的原因。

12.C 根據(jù)常識可知如果胳博上有一條10英寸長的傷疤,一定非!懊黠@”。

13.B 如果自己不把傷疤放在心上,其他人也會這么做,但這并不意味著他們沒有“注意到”傷 疤的存在。

14.D pass on表示“傳遞”,即作者把這種智慧傳給自己的兒子。

15.A 作者的兒子將作者的建議牢牢地記在“心”中,昂首挺胸地返回了學校。

16.B 經(jīng)過六個月的漫長等待,作者的兒子認為自己的傷疤無關(guān)緊要,決定放棄整容手術(shù)。matter表示“要緊,有關(guān)系”。

17.C 上文提到醫(yī)生告訴作者的兒子六個月后才可以實施整容手術(shù),而此時的他發(fā)生了思想轉(zhuǎn)變, 作出“決定”——不再進行任何整容手術(shù)。

18.B 此處是cause sb. to do sth.結(jié)構(gòu),表示“導致某人做某事”。定語從句中的we believe可看做 是插入語。

19.A 在作者看來,外表和衣著只是“虛假的”評判標準。后三項分別表示“嚴格的”“道德的” “一般的,大體的”,都不符合語境。

20.D 本句的前半部分提到要把外表和衣著等外在表現(xiàn)拋在腦后,由此可知作者強調(diào)的是內(nèi)在美。

考點:考查故事類短文

點評:本文主要是測試學生綜合運用語言的能力,即從語篇的角度綜合測試閱讀理解能力、詞匯的掌握和對英語習慣用語的熟悉程度、以及語法規(guī)則的靈活運用?忌鲱}時必須時刻從上下文考慮,不應該只看到所添的詞在短語或句子內(nèi)是否可行。因此,在做題時最好將全文通讀一下,了解了全文的意思以后再作答。
