【解析】
文章讲述了作者侄子10岁的儿子在一个风平浪静的日子里执意要去放风筝,但不管他如何跑来跑去,风筝依旧飞不起来。无奈,他只能决定等有了风再去放风筝。这个故事告诉我们,不要一味盲目地只凭借自己的力量去完成我们想做的事情,应该一开始就寻求我们所能利用的条件。
【1】B 考查动词辨析。live生活,居住;stay待在;study学习;lie说谎,位于。根据上文可知,天太热,所以“我”说服他待在(stay)家里玩游戏。故B正确。
【2】A 考查动词辨析。play玩耍;rest休息;fight打架;select选择。“我们”已经玩了(playing)一个小时的游戏,所以“我”建议我们休息一会。故A正确。
【3】C 考查动词短语。clean up清理;jump off跳下,开始行动;fall into掉进,陷入;cut down砍倒。本句中fall into表示躺在躺椅里,让颈部肌肉放松。其余三项与上下文不搭配。故C正确。
【4】A 考查名词辨析。moment时刻;hour小时;time次数;period时期,时代。孩子走开以后“我”享受了安静的时刻,C项语义不搭配,B、D项时间太长。故A正确。
【5】B 考查动词辨析。send发送,派遣;run奔跑;leave离开;climb攀登。本句使用run表示他兴奋的心情,看到了一个风筝,要求我和他一起出去放风筝。其余三项不符题意。
【6】D 考查动词辨析。decorate装饰,装修;drop扔下,放弃;hang悬挂;fly飞行,放飞。本句中fly与名词kite连用,表示“放风筝”。故D正确。
【7】B 考查上下文串联。hot热;still静止的;noisy吵闹的;fine好的。根据上下文以及该空所在的句子The wind is not __9__ today. The kite won’t fly.可知当天风不大,风筝飞不起来。still“静止的”,说明几乎没有风,所以B项正确。
【8】B 考查形容词辨析。bright明亮的;unhappy不高兴的;dull乏味的;satisfied满意的;因为“我”告诉他风很小,风筝飞不起来,所以他很不高兴。故B正确。
【9】D 考查动词辨析。动词stay逗留,停留;stop停止;go走;blow吹动。本句使用动词blow表示风吹动。其余三项与上下文不搭配。故D正确。
【10】C 考查上下文串联。clever聪明的;talented有天赋的;determined意志坚定的;generous慷慨的。根据I think it’s windy enough. I can get it to fly可知他一定要去放风筝,说明他意志坚定。故C正确。
【11】C 考查连词辨析。after在……后;unless除非,如果不……;as当……时;until直到……才……。当他跑出后门的时候,他说:我认为风足够了,我能把风筝放起来的。根据句意可知as符合上下文语境。
【12】C 考查副词辨析。actively活跃的;hardly几乎不;hard努力地;gradually逐渐地。句子中的as hard as表示“尽力地,努力地”,因此答案选C。
【13】D考查副词辨析。副词angrily生气地;nervously紧张地;doubtfully怀疑地;hopefully充满希望地。当他拉着风筝在跑的时候,充满希望地回头看,希望风筝能够飞起来。故D正确。
【14】A 考查动词辨析。go进展,进行;come来;make生产,制作;settle安家,定居。本句中go表示事情的进展情况。故A正确。
【15】B 考查连词辨析。therefore因此;however然而;instead反而;again又,再。根据上下文可知此处表示转折关系,故答案选B。
【16】A 考查上下文串联。wind风;order命令;news新闻,消息;sunshine阳光。他没有把风筝放起来,是因为风力不够,所以他自言自语说要等着有风。故A正确。
【17】A 考查名词辨析。heart心;memory记忆;dream梦想;world世界。此刻“我”听见另外一个声音对“我”的内心说:Alice,有时候你就是这样。你总是想用你的方式做事情,而不是等着有风。故A正确。
【18】B 考查介词短语辨析。短语because of因为;instead of代替,而不是;except for除……之外;as for关于,至于。你总是想用你的方式做事情,而不是“请求别人帮助”。故B正确。
【19】B 考查形容词辨析。strange奇怪的;right正确的;serious严肃的;boring无聊的。根据下文的句意可知此处表示这个声音是正确的,故选B。
【20】D 考查动词辨析。imagine想象;decide决定;fancy想象;complete完成。我们总是想用我们的努力去完成我们想要做的事情。故D项正确。
