题目内容

When I was 8, a gentleman came to my orphanage(孤儿院)and taught us how to do woodworking projects.

I remember my first project—a small table. I was so      of it that I looked upon it as if I had created a(an)       . It was absolutely beautiful and it had taken me six weeks to       it. I could hardly wait to give it to Mother Winters as a         . She was the head mistress of our orphanage, who was always       with us.

As the tables were not dry from the clear coating, the man told us to wait a few days before taking them to our dormitories. But I was just so        and happy that I couldn’t wait. I dashed out like a        , carrying my table, smiling from ear to ear.

When I reached the dormitory I placed the little table beside my bed. I was         it when Mother Winters entered. She walked over to the table. Running her hand         it, she noticed that it was still wet.

“Were you          to bring this home?” she asked.

“No, ma’am,” I         with my head down.

She ordered me to throw the table out and so I did. After she left, I immediately opened the door to get it back. There was         stuck all over. I brushed and cried, but it would not come off.

I hid the table in my closet and never         it. A year later while cleaning up, I gave the table to Mother Henderson, my houseparent(宿管员), thinking that she would         it away.

Thirty years later at a reunion, I         that Mother Henderson was living nearby, so I drove up to see her. We talked cheerfully for long. As I was about to leave, she asked me to come down to her          to get something important. I followed her         into a dark corner. She picked something up.          she turned around, I could see that she was holding a little table.

Mother Henderson kept the little table that I had given up for lost so long ago.

Today, I look at that table with bittersweet memories but full of         to Mother Henderson, who kept it for a young orphan who tried very hard to        .

【解析】

试题分析:本文讲述了我在孤儿院的时候做了一个小桌子想送给老师,但是因为油漆还没有干,被孤儿院的院长扔掉了,但是另外一个宿管阿姨Henderson妈妈却把这个小桌子保管了30年。

1.C由本段情感态度可知,本空为正态度,可以排除AB,D选项aware知道、意识到,为中性词基本也可以排除,且整个下文一系列的absolutely beautiful、couldn't wait、happy等正态度词可以轻松判断出作者的心情为proud骄傲自豪最为合理。

2.B  award奖项,如奥斯卡奖、年度优秀学生等;wonder奇迹,指令人惊讶、出乎意料、不可思议的事物;record记录,如世界纪录等;product产品产物。通过上下文翻译可知,作者对自己做的小桌子非常满意、自豪,感觉自己完成了一件不可思议的事情,所以B选项wonder词义与正态度均最为合理。

3.D invent发明,指从无到有的事物,桌子不属于发明;design设计、paint刷漆、complete完成都可以花六周的时间,根据下文作者准备当做礼物送人以及拿回宿舍等细节信息可以判断出,小桌子已经完工,所以选complete最为合理。

4.A  reward回报、prize奖品,多为上级对下级、组织对个体、或者平级之间的给予,不符合本文孤儿院的孤儿与院长之间;souvenir纪念品,多为纪念节日、景点、大事等,且多为买卖的商品,与本文的小桌子不属于买卖商品,而对于个人行为的纪念,用remember或remembrance即可;gift礼物,作为人与人之间情感的表达最为合理。

5.Bsatisfied满意、patient耐心、angry生气,只看本句话,都可以入选,但是在整个文章上下找不到任何证据支持,而从文章46空后的order可以判断出,孤儿院的院长对我们一向要求严格,所以strict有证据,且最为合理。

6.D通过空格后面的and并列关系词、以及and后的happy可判断出本题应该入选正态度词,即可排除A选项upset不开心;而amazed惊叹惊讶,多指看到了神奇令人惊讶的事物,本文小桌子是自己做的且故事情节发展至此,不应该自己惊叹惊讶,倘若这是进来一位新人,乍一看到小桌子惊讶惊叹且赞美不已用amazed或amazing还可以;confident自信,没有说明作者对什么自信,是别人的油漆没干只有自己的干了吗?上下文均已明确说出油漆没干;所以本题选择excited兴奋激动最为合适,因为后面的happy、couldn't wait、dashed out冲出去、咧着嘴大笑都是作者太兴奋太激动的行为变现,所以选excited最为合理。

427.D 根据42空前面的dashed out突然迅速冲了出去可以判断出本题突出的是突然且快速的感觉,thief贼是偷偷摸摸的感觉,可以轻松排除;hero英雄是形象高大英勇威猛勇敢的感觉,也没有体现出快和突然,也可以排除;sword剑,体现的是形状的感觉,如剑鱼、剑龙等,都是形状相似,但是本题许多同学误选sword,原因有三:1把剑与箭混为一谈;2即便是箭,也得是离弦的箭才体现出快的感觉;3即便是出鞘的剑,体现的也是蓄势待发,而不是快的感觉;flash闪电,体现出突然、快的感觉,最完全、最直接,故最为合理。

8.C 根据本文句意可知,作者把小桌子放到了床边,没有藏起来,所以hiding不对;drying的意思为使…变干,根据故事情节发展的合理性,作者此刻应该沉浸在兴奋高兴欣赏自己作品的自恋自high过程中,所以drying从故事发展角度就不合理,但是如果非要较真儿解释,可以试想,当时作者正在通过某种方式让桌子变干,如拿扇子扇、电扇吹、加热烤等(因为晒衣服英文表述为dry clothes in the sun,自然晾干是leave sth. Dry naturally),Winters妈妈完全可以通过我的行为判断桌子未干或者发问,下文就不应该出现Winters妈妈走过去用手摸才发现桌子未干,所以drying也不合理;observing观察,多用于正式、仔细、认真观察以发现寻找为目的,文中作者没有要发现寻找什么,故不对;而admire除欣赏、钦佩外,还可以表示开心愉悦的看着,完全符合故事情节的发展与作者的心情发展,故最为合理。

9.B into进到里面、across表面横跨、above上方不接触、after在…之后,根据上下文可知,Winters妈妈用手抹了桌子才发现油漆未干,必须接触且接触表面更为合理,所以选择across表示用手在表面上“唰”的大跨度的摸了一下,最为合理。注意体会across表达表面上从一端到另一端的用法,例:She walked across the floor and laid down on the bed.

10.A be supposed to do应该、embarrassed尴尬、encouraged鼓励、determined决定,通过句意可以轻松选出A选项,但如果考生对于suppose意思认知不准确,此题依然有难度,如果再没看懂文章意思,有可能会乱选determined无逻辑选项。

11.C agree同意、signed叹气、whispered小声说、argued争论,根据下文低着头可轻松作答。

12.A  dirt灰土、沙子、泥土等脏东西,glue胶水,paint油漆、wood木头,根据上文扔到门外和小桌子油漆未干透可以轻松判断出应该是粘了许多尘土脏东西最为合理。

13.B removed拿掉去除、touched触碰、shook摇、split分裂,根据句意作者把“受伤”的小桌子藏到厨子里再也没有动过,这里中文的“动”指的是接触触碰,所以选touched合理。误选为removed的考生多属于对remove意思理解不准确,remove的没有再次移动的意思,准确的意思是拿掉去除,如remove it!意为把它拿走,指的是扔掉不要放在这里,再如remove the stain去除污渍,所以remove多指去除拿掉不好的东西,该词为重点考点;而shook摇、split分裂意思均不合理。

14.Dput away收拾起来,give away给他人、泄密,take away 拿走,throw away 扔掉,作者把“受伤”的小桌子给了宿管员Henderson妈妈,以为她会怎么着,但没想到Henderson妈妈却把小桌子保存了30年,通过文章最后的kept反推,throw away扔掉意思最为合理。

15.Alearned得知、expected期待盼望、remembered记得、recommended推荐,根据句意A选项learned得知意思最为合适,此题属于简单题目,但许多考生不知道learn的这层意思,却排除选learn。

16.Cbathroom浴室、balcony阳台、basement地下室、bedroom卧室,根据51空前面come down to可以判断为地下室,此题简单,但是因为证据比较隐蔽,较难发现,故不少考生做错。

17.Acuriously好奇地、unwillingly不情愿地、doubtfully怀疑地、worriedly担心地,根据上下文,我刚准备要走,Henderson妈妈说有重要的东西给我看,然后带着我往地下储藏室走,根据常理以及感情色彩判断,好奇地最为合理,其他三个选项词汇意思、态度和感情色彩均不合理。

18.C根据句意,当她转过身来的时候我看到了她拿着的是一张小桌子,动作逻辑最为合理。since自从…到现在,配套时态应该为现在完成时,故不对;until直到,很少用于句首,位于句首的多为not until,且如果选until,整句话调整为正常语序后应为I could see that she was holding a little table until she turned around,意思是我能够看到她拿的是张小桌子,“能够看到”这个动作一直持续到她转身,翻译不通逻辑也不合理,请注意,这是until极其重要的考点,如果有的考试翻译为“直到她转身的时候,我才看到…”,请切记:not…until翻译成“直到…才”,没有not不可能翻译出“才”,切记!但是,对于部分基础很好的考生,可能会误选before,错误翻译成“她还没转过身来,我就看到她拿的是张小桌子”,的确,“才、就”是before在高考中的一个重点、经典、超高频考点,但是,请记住:前后时态应该为过去时和过去完成时搭配,所以如果写作Before she turned around, I had seen that…才可以。本题不难,但是对于基础较好的考生可能会因多想而做错。

19.Badmiration钦佩羡慕、gratitude感激感恩、sympathy同情、regret遗憾,根据正负态度可以排除CD选项,因为本文中Henderson妈妈做了让自己万分感动的事情,所以选择感激感恩最为合理。

20.Dadapt适应、study学习研究、perform表演做履行义务等、please让某人高兴,本题位于文章最后一段,用于点明全文中心思想,升华总结出作者的感悟,所以紧扣全文主旨,本文主要讲解了一个小孤儿用心做了一个自己很自豪自己很喜欢的小桌子,作为礼物送给院长,小孩子的行为仅仅是为了让与自己关系最近的大人开心高兴一下,但是却发生了后来的事情,所以please直接点明全文的主题,故为正确答案。

A Strange Greeting, a True Feeling Last week I was invited to a doctor’s meeting at the Ruth hospital for incurables.

Albert Einstein said, “In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.” Once __41 __, such opportunities are like valuable diamonds hidden in the sand.
Several years ago, I spoke at a school about how we were surrounded by “___42___  ” if we could only recognize them. A man stopped by to see me, and I remembered him as somebody who had suffered through a(n) ___43___ divorce (离婚) and was examining what was most important to him. He took a small ___44___ out of his pocket. Here is what he said to me that day.
“I ___45___ on this stone when I was leaving church last Sunday. You had spoken about  ___46___ opportunities—diamonds. I put the stone in my ___47___ to remind me to look for those “diamonds” that I need. I have been trying to sell my business . On Monday morning, a man who seemed interested in ___48___ some of my stock (股票) stopped by. I thought, ‘Here’s my diamond—don’t let it ___49___!’ I sold the entire stock to him by noon. Now my next diamond is to find a new ___50___  !”
Not long afterward, he did find a new and better job. From then on, he decided to keep his stone with him all the time as a ___51___ to look for “diamonds” as he dug through the ___52___ of life.
Richard DeVos is right when he points out. “This is an exciting world. It is filled with opportunities. Great moments wait around every corner.” Those moments are diamonds that,   ___53___ left unrecognized, will be forever lost.
Are you looking for “diamonds” every day? If not, you may ___54___ pass them by! Perhaps there is a diamond of opportunity hidden in the difficulty you’re ___55___ now.

We often talk about ourselves as if we have permanent genetic defects (缺陷) that can never be changed. “I’m impatient.” “I’m always behind.” “I always put things   31 !” You’ve surely heard them. Maybe you’ve used them to describe   32 .
These comments may come from stories about us that have been   33  for years—often from   34  childhood. These stories may have no   35  in fact. But they can set low expectations for us. As a child, my mother said to me, “Marshall, you have no mechanical skills, and you will never have any mechanical skills for the rest of your life.” How did these expectations  36  my development? I was never   37  to work on cars or be around   38 . When I was 18, I took the US Army’s Mechanical Aptitude Test. My scores were in the bottom for the entire nation!
Six years later,   39 , I was at California University, working on my doctor’s degree. One of my professors, Dr. Bob Tannbaum, asked me to write down things I did well and things I couldn’t do. On the positive side, I   40  down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking.” On the   41  side, I wrote, “I have no mechanical skills.”
Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills. I explained my life   42  and told him about my   43  performance on the Army test. Bob then asked, “  44  is it that you can solve   45  mathematical problems, but you can’t solve simple mechanical problems?”
Suddenly I realized that I didn’t  46  from some sort of genetic defect. I was just living out expectations that I had chosen to  47 . At that point, it wasn’t just my family and friends who had been  48  my belief that I was mechanically hopeless. And it wasn’t just the Army test, either. I was the one who kept telling myself, “You can’t do this!” I realized that as long as I kept saying that, it was going to remain true.   49  , if we don’t treat ourselves as if we have incurable genetic defects, we can do well in almost   50  we choose.
