16.C。前面的句子提到父亲的手上满是老茧很粗糙,推测他的职业是农民最合适,更重要的是,下文中说到了父子在田里摘棉花,更加印证了是农民的判断。四个选项的意思分别是老师,园丁,农民,杂货商。
17.D。根据句意,既然发生了严旱灾,那么用burning来修饰desert最合适不过了。A,B,C三个选项的意思分别是暴风雨的,生动的,消失的,均与句意不符,排除。
18.A。fill an order是一个固定短语,意思是“交付订货”,此句的意思是,我跟父亲正在田里摘玉米,以便交付杂货店定的货。
19.B。此题需要结合后面一句话去做,后一句的意思是“然而这一次,这个过程进展不快”,说明前面的二十分钟是“通常情况”下所需要的时间,因此应该用副词normally。
20.A。事情进展如何,常用动词go,而不用begin, occur, change。
21.B。平时只需要二十分钟,可是这次,四十分钟过后,还没结束,“仍然”还需要二十分钟。其他三个选项均不能表达此意。
22.C。由于这次摘玉米用的时间太长,太辛苦,所以“我”很泄气也很“生气”,这个可以结合后面“我”说的话来推断出来:重重的摔篮子,然后说“如果杂货店还要那他们可以自己摘玉米”,这些都可以印证“我”很生气,而不是A吃惊,B紧张,D害怕,
23.D。看到“我”生气的样子,爸爸“笑”着安慰我。
24.B。本句意思是:我们每人“仅仅”需要摘十打,然后我们就结束了。be done是固定用法,意思是“结束,做完了”。
25.A。本句意思是:无论他“遇到”什么难题,他都不会放弃。四个选项的意思分别是:遇到,抚养,解出(难题),考虑,只有选项A符合句意。
26.C。本句的意思是:这次干旱的灾难性影响在全国都能感受得到。这是坏事,所以应该用unfortunately. 其他三个选项的意思分别是:谢天谢地;满怀希望地;很奇怪,均与句意不符。
27.D。句子的前半部分说旱灾对于每个人都是一种挑战,后半部分说父亲保持乐观,两者之间显然是一种转折关系,应该用连词but。
28.B。四个选项后面加上to be之后的意思分别是:碰巧是;似乎是;继续是;目的是,只有选项B合乎句意。
29.B。句子意思是:就是在那时,我才开始“感激”父亲以及他引导我们走过艰难岁月的信念。四个选项的意思分别是:面对 感激 检查 质问,只有选项B符合句意。
30.A。这句话是本段落的主题句,从下文可以看出,“父亲”对于家庭无私的风险已经对子女无私的爱,所以选择love是最合适的。其它三个选项的意思分别是:自豪,友谊,诚实,均不符合句意。
31.A。句子的意思是:父亲每天工作很长时间来“养家”,所以应该选择support。其他三个选项的意思分别是:安置,开始,使……有印象,均不符合句意。
32.B。句意为:他总是把我们的幸福放在他自己的“前面”,而且……。
33.A。长时间工作之后,“尽管”很累,也从不忘记在我参加比赛的时候为我打气加油。“累”和“给我打气加油”之间是转折关系,所以应该用in spite of。其它三个选项的意思分别是:在……的条件下,在……的控制下,取代,均不合句意。
34.C。句子的意思是:他的爱和无私激励着我更加富有同情心和“更体谅人”,把别人放在前面考虑。解题关键是“putting others first”,这其实就是对considerate的解释。
35.D。句中的I have learned from you 是一个定语从句,空处就是它所修饰先行词,从句中的谓语动词learned缺少宾语,空处就是它的宾语,这样就是learn … from you,从四个选项中找一个词填到这个省略号中做宾语,lessons是最合适的,意思是“我从你那里学习到的生活上的一些经验教训”。其它三个选项的意思分别是:历史,箴言,模式,放到句中均不符合句意。
