分析 本文的主角Ann是个善良的人,喜欢帮助有困难的人.Ann每天到邮局给公司取邮件.在邮局门口,有个圣诞老人在乞讨,只要有人给他钱,他就会向给他钱的人说一声"圣诞快乐".Ann会把钱节省起来,每天都给这个老人一些钱.有一天很冷,圣诞老人仍旧在乞讨,Ann给了他一双手套.这件事可以看出Ann非常有爱心.
公司的同事告诉Ann,她没有钱给孩子买圣诞礼物,因为她的前夫不愿意寄钱给孩子买礼物.Ann回家后和丈夫商量,丈夫跟她说:"我们可以省一些钱,并把这些钱给你的同事,让她给孩子买礼物,毕竟她比我们更需要这些钱.我们去年虽然没有很多钱过圣诞,不也一样过得很开心吗?"
由这两个小故事,我们可以知道Ann是个善良的人.我们也从这两个小故事中收获了爱和温暖.
解答 41.B 上下文理解.由前后句可知,这部分是讲述Ann工作的具体内容,故答案为job,表示"她工作中的一部分职责".
42.D 动词辨析.recieve表示被动地接受;go through通过,审阅;answer 回答;pick up 获取.根据理解句意,她去获取公司的邮件,因此答案为D.
43.A 动词辨析.spot 发现,认出;watch 观看;sense 感觉;follow 跟随.此处为Ann____站在十字路口的圣诞老人,他之前是beggar,因此答案为spot,认出.
44.A 现在分词作后置定语.此处理解为"圣诞老人站在十字路口",答案为standing.
45.C 动词辨析.earn 赚取;count数;save节约;threw 扔.此处应为"她每天节约一些钱,并且丢到他的碗里.",后面drop 已经有扔进,丢进的意思,因此排除D,A和B不符合句意,故排除.答案为C.
46.B 上下文理解.根据前文可知本句句意--他会微笑并且祝愿他们(给他钱的人)"圣诞快乐",因此答案为wish.
47.C 副词辨析.even 甚至;just只是,仅仅;still 仍然;yet 也不,仍不.根据句意可知,天气很冷,圣诞老人仍然站在十字路口.故答案为still.
48.D连词辨析.although 虽然;if 如果;since 即使; after…之后.此处理解为"在她给圣诞老人一些钱之后,她给他一双手套".答案为D.
49.B 上下文理解.根据后文可知,站在十字路口的不是原来的那个圣诞老人,因为他生病了.因此是"一个新的圣诞老人",答案为new.
50.D 上下文理解.根据前文可推知,原来的圣诞老人没来的原因是因为在很冷的天气里站了很久,可能是"生病"了,因此答案为D.
51.A 上下文理解.根据后文的故事可知,她的同事很伤心,因此应该是哭着进了办公室,因此为in tears.
52.C 动词辨析.A.conclude 归纳;B.decide 决定;C.continue继续;D.评论.根据语意可知,是"她继续说道",并没有"总结""决定""评论"的意思,因此答案为C.
53.B 连词辨析.根据空格单词所在句子的意思可知是表示转折,需用but.It breaks my heart that they won't have anything this year.可知"我没钱,但是我的前夫也不寄钱","这让我很伤心".
54.D 上下文理解.根据后面一句的话可以推知前面是Ann"安慰"她,因此答案为comfort.
55.A 动词短语辨析.work out 解决;come back 回归;run out 用完;open up 展示,揭露.这是一句安慰的话,理解语意为"所有事情都会解决",因此答案为A.
56.C 名词辨析.message信息;suggestion 建议;situation处境;example 举例.理解句意,可知是"她告诉她丈夫她同事的处境",答案为situation.
57.B 上下文理解.理解上文,她同事并没有向她借钱,而Ann是想帮助她同事,因此排除A,B最合适.
58.A 句意理解.根据关键词we以及句意,可知是在谈论"我们",句意理解为"去年我们没有很多钱给我们自己买圣诞礼物",因此答案为ourselves.
59.D 动词短语.spread经常与through连用,spread through表示"穿过,散布",理解句意可知"温暖散布全身",故答案为D.
60.C 上下文理解.理解上文可知,丈夫很受感动,他明白妻子的爱心,他身边有一个圣诞老人,他娶了她.答案为C.
