解析:
一朵小小的由纸折叠的玫瑰花,把许多有意义的事情联系
到了一起,使世间一种无条件的爱得以传递和发扬,使众多绝
望孤独的孩子摆脱孤独,获得希望……
1.A.poverty B.10neliness C.misery D.suffering
剖析:名词辨析。由下文主要人物的谈话可以看出,玛丽一
直从事的事业就是通过为那些没有人爱的孩子找到新家的
方式,让他们拥有父母,获得爱和希望,也就是让他们摆脱孤
独(10neliness),而不是poverty贫穷,misery不幸,suffering
痛苦。
2.A.home B.place C.school D.1ife
剖析:名词辨析。由后面的the family以及下一段的for
adoptive parents(养父母)可以看出.她是在为无家可归的孤
儿找一个新的家.所以应选home。
3.A.glory B.favor C.habit D.tradition
剖析:名词辨析。由语境可知.这些年来.玛丽每一次为孤儿
找到一个新家的时候都要送给那家人一朵纸做的玫瑰花。
所以要用tradition意思是“惯例”.指因长久奉行而形成的习
惯做法。glor5,“光荣”;favor“喜爱”;habit“习惯”,只用于表示个人习惯,强调习·赁成自然。
4.A. organizing B. planning C. hosting D. attending
剖析:动词辨析。由语境可知.这里指的是她正在主持(host)
一个想收养孩子的父母参加的会议。干扰项attend一般指
参加会议,通常不在组织会议中发挥作用。
5.A.new B.grateful C.kind D.active
剖析:形容词辨析。这是为孤儿找新家的会议,所以这些父
母就是刚刚收养孩子的,因此应选new(新的)。
6.A.broken B.faded C.treasured D.dried
剖析:形容词辨析。由14空后的SO long ago,可知应选faded
“褪色的,(花)凋谢了的”。句意为:他把手伸进衣兜,拿出了
一朵褪色的红色的纸玫瑰花。
7.A.tasteless B.powerless C.priceless D.worthless
剖析:形容词辩析。worthless意为“没有价值的,没有用的”;
由下文的“I didn’t know the talents inside me”可知。他当时
流浪街头时.认为自己没用,认识不到自己的价值。priceless
意为“无价的,贵重的”,与表达的意思正好相反;powerless
“无力的”;tasteless“没味道的”。
8.A.directed B.introduced C.brought D.accepted
剖析:动词辨析。句意为:然后玛丽把两个好人带进了
(bring…into)我的生活。也就是说,他当年也是一个孤儿.
是玛丽为他找到了养父母。注意introduce和into连用。表示
引进,而不是介绍。
9.A.10ved B.protected C.cared D.cheered
剖析:动词辨析。由下文的They not only loved me…可知。
1 0.A. silently B. continuously
C.unintentionally D.unconditionally
剖析:副词辨析。由上文的“wonderful people”可以看出,他
的养父母对他的爱应是无条件的(unconditionally)。silently
“沉默地”;continuously“持续地”;unintentionally“非故意地、
非存心地”。
1 1.A.necessities B.possibilities C. beauties D.riches
剖析:名词辨析。由上文7空后的“I didn’t know…what
was possible for me”可以推出,这里要表达的意思是:我的
养父母用鼓励我的方式(“Reach for your dreams”)为我敞开
了一个“我”以前不知道存在的“我”潜力无穷的世界。
possibilities发展前途,潜在价值。
1 2.A.eager B.willing C.proud D.1ucky
剖析:形容词辨析。由上文的描述可以看出,他认为收养一
个孩子,用无条件的爱鼓励他成为一个有价值的人是很伟
大的。所以得到这个机会他感到很自豪(proud)。
13.A.started out B.came up C.turned out D.grew up
剖析:动词短语辨析。a child who started out(开始)just like
me意思是:开始和我一样的(是个没人疼爱的)孤儿。come
up“出现”;turn out“结果是”;grow up“长大”,都不符合
语境。
1 4.A.understand B.guess C.tell D.know
剖析:动词辨析。句意为:大家都知道(know)了很久以前.
我妈妈是从哪里得到这朵玫瑰花的。
1 5.A.replaces B.symbolizes C.equals D.creates
剖析:动词辨析。作者认为玛丽送给他的这朵玫瑰花象征
着(symbolize)一个美丽的春天.自己收养的一个女孩的新
生活的开端(beginning)。因为当年自己就是这样开始美好
的生活的。
1 6.A.chance B.mystery C.challenge D.beginning
剖析:名词辨析。见15题答案剖析。
1 7.A.reminds B.helps C.accompanies D.drives
剖析:动词辨析。remind sb.to do sth.使某人想起。前文提
到·我的养父母给了我无条件的爱,这朵玫瑰花提醒我要和
他们一样给我收养的小女孩提供无条件的爱。
18.A.fix B.close C.tie D.gather
剖析:动词辨析。tie…together把……连接在一起。句意
为:玛丽。谢谢您,因为您送的玫瑰花把我们的生活连接在
了一起。文章最后一句也有暗示。
19.A.cause B.push C.put D.1cave
剖析:动词辨析。leave sb.in quiet.使某人处于安静状态。
20.A.Yet B.Besides C.Otherwise D.Therefore
剖析:连词辨析。该句和上文是转折关系。所以要用yet意
思是“可是.却,然而”。句意为:一个简单的事情可以使我
们的精神飞扬或使我们安静下来考虑一个新的开端。然而
像玛丽的玫瑰花一样的小东西,也可以把有意义的东西连
接在一起。
