Question

Throughout the years of changing 【6】，schools and friends, there remained one constant in my childhood-my mother. For both my 【7】 and I, she was the cook, maid and teacher. She played these roles while 【8】 some type of part-time job. Leaving a promising career is just one of the 【9】 which my mother made for my family as we moved around the world with our father every three years or so.

Every part-time job was an opportunity to learn something new and work with interesting people. No matter how difficult the life was, she was always having a 【19】 attitude.

【解析】[语篇解读]作者的父亲在海军服役，全家人都跟着他经常搬家。而母亲勇敢面对任何困难，给孩子们营造了一个温楚安全的家。母亲成了作者心目中的英雄。

【1】考查动词短语辨析。句意：……“我们”不得不把我们的财产装人盒子，而且把“我们”深爱的人们撇在后面。leave behind“把……撇在后面”；leave out “省略，遗漏”；leave off“停止，中断”；leave for“动身去”。根据上文pack our belongings into boxes 和下文 arrive at our new home 可知 “我们”把深爱的人们撇在后面，所以选A项。

【2】句意:……发现“我们”又一次站在码头向父亲挥手告别……。live“生活；居住”；stare “注视”；stand “站立”；go“去”. 根据下文 at the pier (码头）waving good-bye to my father可知“我们”站在码头和父亲告别。故C项正确。

【3】 根据上文 My father was in the navy 和下文. . . the ship was. . . 可知父亲乘坐舰船。

【4】句意“……在船只从视野里消失之前……” range“射程，范围” ；shape“形状”，out of shape表示：变形;control“控制”;out of control表示：失去控制。根据上下文可知此处指船只驶出视野。sight “视野”，out of sight看不见，在视野之外。

【5】句意“……又一次开始融入新环境的过程。”adapt“适应”，与to搭配;suit“适应”，为及物动词，后不跟介词；match“相配，相称”，常用作及物动词;fit“适应”。根据语境可知“我们”要重新开始融入新的环境。fit in融入(群体）。

【6】句意“这些年的不断变换地址、学校和朋友，……”根据上文可知“我们”经常搬到新的地方，所以经常换地址。

【7】句意：对于弟弟和“我”来说，……。根据上文My mother would turn my brother and I…可知 C 项正确。

【8】句意“母亲不仅扮演着是厨师、女仆和老师的角色，她还做一份兼职工作。” perform“做;表演”，符合题意。seek“寻求，追求” ；wait“等待”；apply“使用”。

【9】句意“离开一份有前途的工作只是妈妈为家庭做出的许多牺牲之一，……”。program “节目，计划"；sacrifice “牺牲” ；contribution“贡献” ；cooperation“合作”。根据句意可知离开一份有前途的工作是一个牺牲。

【10】句意“虽然她不得不只处理一小笔预算，但妈妈……”A:一旦;B:虽然；C:当……时；D:除非。while作为并列连词时，表示对比，符合语境。

【11】句意“……但不知怎么地妈妈成功地……。” somewhere“在某处” ；somewhat“稍微，有点”；sometime“将来（或过去）某个时候”；somehow“以某种方式（法）；不知怎么地”。由语境可知母亲虽然可用的钱很少，却以某种方法使家充满安全感。

【12】句意“……又安全又舒适的家。”romantic“浪漫的”；comfortable“舒适的”；mysterious “神秘的”；wealthy “富有的”。由句意可推断出母亲使家庭充满了安全感和舒适感。

【13】句意“这可能听起来是一种令人沮丧的生活方式，特别是带着两个小孩子……” generally“一般地，通常地”；actually “实际上，事实上” ；especially“特别，尤其” ；unfairly“不公平地”。

【14】句意“……不能发展一种职业或……” desert“离弃”；develop“发展”；affect “影响”；limit “限制”。由句意可知不能发展自己的职业。

【15】句意:她把这种生活方式变成了“我们”大家的探险。lifestyle“生活方式” ；value“价值，重要性” ；journey“旅行，行程”；opportunity“机会，良机”。由上文 a depressing way to live 可知应选 lifestyle。

【16】句意“每一次变换位置都是一次探索世界另一部分的机会。” acquire“获得，学到” ；explore“探索” ；occupy“占用，占领”；realize“意识到”。根据上文into adventure可知选B。

【17】句意“每一次新房子重新摆放家具……都是一次挑战”load“负荷，装载量”；sadness “悲哀”；result “结果，成绩”；challenge“挑战，困难”。根据语境可知此空与上文的chance相呼应，所以D项正确。

【18】句意“……和悬挂图片。” hang“悬挂"。根据语境可知应为悬挂图片。

【19】句意“……她总是有着积极的态度。” changeable“易变的，可改变的”；cautious“谨慎的”；positive “积极的”；negative“否定的，消极的”。根据上一段可知母亲积极地对待生活。
