解析:
【语篇解读】在现代通讯方式如此发达的今天,作者却用自己的亲身经历向我们解释了写信这种古老却独具魅力的联系方式带给他的生活和意识上的变化。哥哥和他的通信联系让他留住亲情,也感受到了爱的力量。
21. 在第二段第七句话的rereading说明一封信带给亲人和朋友的力量,会促使收信者去欣赏这封新的内容,一遍一遍的阅读琢磨领会里面的含义。所以本空选D项。reread表示“反复阅读;重读”,符合收信者的心理。
22. 文章虽然是围绕着作者和哥哥之间的故事展开,但是说的是信带给亲人和朋友之间的纽带作用,是维持一种关系的媒介,这四个选项里只有friendship表示一种关系,和本句的two people far away吻合。
23. 作者在以自己的亲身经历说明写信带给双方的不可低估的作用,所以这里用example引起下文。
24. 从第26空所在句的arguments and quarrels说明作者和哥哥的关系处的不好,这里考查到了短语get along,意为“和睦相处”,例如:He gets along well with his boss.他和老板相处得很好。get through意为“经历”,get together“聚会”和get away “逃脱”, 均不合题意。
25. 本句的had grown apart说明在长大了后两人不和,而but表示转折关系,说明两人在孩提时代的关系很好,所以这里选children和grown对应。
26. 本句的filled with arguments and quarrels说明作者和哥哥的关系处的不好,所以两人见面的时候总是那么不愉快。arguments and quarrels就是对not pleasant的解释。
27. 使事情更糟糕的是,就是双方做出努力也无济于事,甚至会加深两人之间的误会,本句的seem to only说明的事情的后果反而更严重,所以使用deepen表示“加深”,和and every effort的事与愿违对应。
28. 两人后来通过写信联系,说明相隔甚远,和第一段第二句的far away吻合,说明哥哥搬家搬到了很远的地方。
29. 本空和最后一段第三句话的get back形成对比,说明哥哥搬家后和作者失去了联系。
30. 作者的哥哥通过写信来增进和作者的联系,为了进一步加深两人的亲情,他鼓励作者也写信,正是因为这样,作者意识到了信的力量。
31. 作者和哥哥以前缺乏交流,现在当哥哥用笔墨将思想呈现在纸上的时候,作者发现了哥哥自己以前没有了解到的一个方面,当然感到很惊奇。
32. 本句用到了定语从句,先行词是quality,在定语从句里做的是介词for的宾语。本句句意为:“哥哥的这些品质曾经是我所尊重的,但是我以为他已经没有了这些东西。这里的once表示“曾经“,是指作者在小的时候曾经对哥哥所持有的感情。
33.本句的but说明作者以为哥哥已经丢弃了他所尊重的一些东西,26空所在句的arguments and quarrels对应,当然这只是作者的自己的想法,所以用think。
34. 本空和31空吻合,作者哥哥的行文和风格叫他感到吃惊,说明哥哥写的很好。
35. 就是因为这封信,让作者和哥哥又成为了朋友。就像回到了孩提时代一样。
36. It occurs to sb to do sth 意为“某事发生在某人身上”,这里的第一个to是介词,对于作者的经历而言,首先写信的是自己的哥哥,也就是如果哥哥没有搬到那么远的落后的岛上,他是不会想到用那么古老的方式来和作者联系的。所以这里的to的对象是针对作者的哥哥而言。
37. 第39空的don’t always have to phone or email说明本空选C项,正是因为在一个没有现代通讯方式的岛上作者的哥哥才想到了写信。而如果选A项,作者就收不到信了,所以不能选A。
38. 本句的we是针对我们所处的科技发达的大环境而言,结合生活实际答案不难选出,就是因为现代的通讯技术,使我们的生活更加轻松,这里的easy意为“轻松”。
39. 很多人都忘了其实不一定非要依靠电话或者电子邮件,写信其实就是一种很好的方式。
40. 在phone,email等现代通讯没有了的时候,作者认为也有其他的选择方式,那就是写信。
