参考答案
试题分析:本文是一篇故事类短文,讲述了家人之间爱的传递。作者小时候无意中发现母亲会在餐巾纸上或者三明治的包装上写上关爱父亲的语言,后来作者也开始在自己孩子们的午餐盒上写上不同的话,传递着自己的爱,她的行为也影响到了朋友们。
七选五
16.B根据第二行“whatstudentswasteeveryyearcouldfeedover10millionpeople”可知,学生们会把吃不完的饭菜倒掉,由此造成的浪费能够养活一千多万人,故选B。
17.E根据“thefoodwastedbyChinesepeopleisabout50milliontonsofgraineveryyear,whichcouldfeed200millionpeople”可知,中国人浪费掉的粮食能够养活两亿人,说明食堂的浪费现象只是冰山一角,故选E。
18.G根据本段首句“Foodwaste...servesasamirrorthatreflectsvariousculturalandsocialissues”和“Chinesepeoplearewellknownforbeinghospitableandgenerous.Manyevenfeelthattheylosefaceiftheirguestshaveeatenallthefood.”可知,食物浪费现象反映一个国家的饮食文化和习惯,故选G。
19.F根据“Thereareover925millionhungrypeopleintheworld,mostofwhomliveinunderdevelopedcountriesandareas.”可知,本段讲的是处于饥饿中的人们,故选F。
20.D根据“Manychildrendieforlackofnutritioneachyear...Andfarmersworkveryhardtogrowthecrops.”可知,世界其它地方的孩子因饥饿而死,而且农民种粮食很辛苦,因此我们没有理由浪费粮食,每个人都应该想一想该怎样减少食物浪费,故选D。
完形填空
21.B考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。A.enter进入;B.change改变;C.enrich使…丰富;D.impress给…印象。女儿的话改变了父亲的生活。故选B。
22.D考查动词词义辨析。A.betray出卖;B.return回来;C.remove移动,开除;D.leave离开。女儿是七年前离开家去了SanFrancisco。故选D。
24.A考查名词词义辨析。A项表示“紧张”;B项是“交谈”;C为“会议”;D是“派对”。此处指父女之间的关系一开始是不好的,有问题故很紧张,所以选A。
25.B考查名词词义辨析。根据后面的意思“Iwouldoccasionallyblowoffsteam”表示“我经常发火生气”以及“Iwasundersomuchstrain(压力)whenshewasalittlegirl”可知父亲的压力很大,所以选B。A项表示“保护”;C项表示“热情”;D项表示“想象”。
26.C考查形容词词义辨析。从上文可以推断因为父亲易生气所以女儿会有些害怕,此处构成短语“beafraidof”,故选C。
34.A考查副词词义辨析根据上下文父亲之所以难以接受正是因为女儿认为所写的内容不够完美,所以用farfrom,选A。“muchtoo”是“太多”的意思;“morethan”为“超过,不仅仅”;D选型表示“不再“。
35.C考查动词词义辨析父女之间进行交流的目的是对父亲的书进行改进,故用improve,所以选C.A项表示“完成”;B项是“出版”;D选型为“批评”。
36.D考查关联词辨析根据上下文,女儿通过父亲的写作开始理解了为什么会处于压力之下.
37.B考查动词短语辨析根据后面的内容“thepainofdealingwithdepression”,可以看出女儿也有类似的问题,这里指“遭受”,所以用短语“sufferfrom”,故选B。A项表示“去除”;C项是“喜欢”;D项表示“关心,喜欢”。
38.A考查动词词义辨析根据后面的内容“Helpingyouwithyourmanuscripthasbeenmyanchor(精神支柱)overthelastsixmonths。”可知对女儿的触动也很大,对父亲有了新的了解与理解,“save”表示“拯救”之意,故选A。B项为“下定义”;C项是“见证”;D项为“碰到,触及”。
39.D考查形容词词义辨析句意上:“我对于我的存在是否有意义感到疑惑”,所以用worthwhile,选D。A项表示“怀疑的”;B项是“确信的”;C项是“现实的”。
语法填空
短文改错
第一行since改为until考查固定用法。固定用法:not……until…直到……才…。结合“Ididn’trealizetheimportanceofworkingingroupssinceIwaschosenmonitorofmyclassinhighschool.”句意“直到在高中我被选为我们班的班长我才知道团体工作的重要性。”可知要把since改为until。
第二行when改为while表两者的对比
第二行few改为little考查副词。……otherstudentscaredfewaboutclassactivities.其他同学对班级活动关心得很少。修饰动词cared应用副词形式little,few无此用法。
第三行depressing改为depressed考查形容词不同形式用法。Iwastiredoutanddepressing.小技巧:凡是-ed结尾的都是形容人的,表示“人感到……”,-ing结尾都是形容物的,表示“令人感到……”。此处修饰“I我”,我感到沮丧,所以要用depressed。
第三行of改为on/about考查介词。hegavemesomeadviceofhowtocooperatewellwithother.语义为“他给我一些关于如何和其他同学合作好的建议。”on/about介词,意为“关于”。
第四行other改为others考查代词。……cooperatewellwithother.由语义可知是作者和班里其他同学合作,other作形容词意思是“其它的”,作代词讲意思是两者当中“另外一个”,前要加the。此处是指班里其他人,所以要用复数形式others。故other改为others。
第五行去掉第二个to考查非谓语动词。haveeveryonetodohispartinclass.语义为“让每个人在班上都能贡献一份力量。”have在此是使役动词,让某人干某事应是“havesbdosth”
第六行strong改为strongly考查副词。Istrongfeelthat……修饰动词feel应该用副词形式,
第七行make改为made考查动词时态。……hasfreedmefromtroubleandmakemeworkmoreefficiently.freed和make由and连接,是两个并列谓语动词,形式应该相同。由hasfreed可知是现在完成时态,所以make要用过去分词made,二者都由助动词has掌控。故把make改为made。
