分析 本文是一篇记叙文,记叙了作者很喜欢在花园里种一些花草,而他的父母却不喜欢他这样做,答这并没有阻止他喜欢园艺这个工作,长大后成了有名的园艺家,这使得他的父母很骄傲.
解答 36.C 考查名词辨析.根据语境可知,作者坦诚爱上园艺,最初的目的和意图(intention)并非是因为热爱大自然,而只是为了和父母对着干.故选C.
37.D 考查动词辨析.根据第三段第一句"At that age,I always did something opposite to whatever my parents did!"可知,这孩子小时候确很叛逆.她建花圃的最初目的当然也是annoy父母,使父母生气.故选C.
38.A 考查名词辨析.这道题可以使用排除法来锁定标准答案.作者的母亲一直以来都是不喜欢园艺的.对于这棵枫树,她自然不会喜欢.B项表"欣赏";D项表"激动",明显不符.C项的"惊奇"也和作者想表达的意图没有关系.故选A.
39.C 考查动词短语辨析.根据"seeing the neighbor busy with gardening(看见邻居们忙于做园艺活儿)"可知,正是因为父亲不屑于园艺,所以看见别人忙园艺的时候,才冷嘲热讽的说应该花时间去打扫一下其他的东西.故选C.
40.D 考查形容词辨析.结合37题,对照思考,考虑到作者年轻时的叛逆个性,应该可以直接选出opposite,作者喜好和父母对着干.故选D.
41.C 考查形容词辨析.根据语境可知,园艺也只是一项家务活儿而已,而作者的父母也只是对其不屑和厌烦而已,故干脆选择不为之.说道"痛苦的",词义太过.相比而言,C项"心烦的"更适合.故选C.
42.A 考查动词短语.come up"发芽;走上前来;出现";break out"爆发";hold on"继续;不挂断";get through"度过,完成".根据语境可知,这里表示百合花没发芽.故选A..
43.B 考查介词短语辨析.根据固定搭配"wild with joy","欣喜若狂;洋洋得意"之意.故选B.
44.D 考查副词辨析.根据"one by one,the flowers bloomed their heads off."作者从开始种植百合花的失败,到第一朵玫瑰花开花,再到花朵次第出现,最后自己都被神奇的小花圃所打动,强调的是个心态转变的过程.而整篇文章,作者也想书写自己由最开始的叛逆行为,到真正变为对大自然和园艺艺术的热爱的一个过程.故选D.
45.B 考查副词辨析.根据语境可知,however,表达不管作者的努力,父母还是无动于衷.表转折.故选B.
46.A 考查动词辨析."…because he found it was troublesome to move around my garden to the driveway."可知,当父亲去往车道的路都被我的花圃遮挡,每次去取车都要大费周章的时候,谁都会暴跳如雷、大声咆哮的.Jump at表示"把握、接受(机会);欣然接受;匆匆做出(结论等)"的意思.故选A.
47.B 考查形容词辨析.根据句意可知,父亲认为把我的花园移动马路边很麻烦,跨过花圃去车道很麻烦.故选B.
48.B 考查形容词辨析.根据语境可知,作者妈妈对她种花成功的不屑和不满.从"I put in her vase my real roses which,in her eyes,were simply weeds rather than flowers"明显可以看出妈妈的这种情绪.故选B.
49.C 考查短语辨析.根据句意可知,妈妈觉得插在花瓶里真实的玫瑰,与其说是花,不如就是说是杂草.rather than是最合适的.other than"不同于;除了…以外";more than和less than都是数量上的比较.故选C.
50.A 考查名词辨析.根据语境可知,不管父母多不喜欢,作者还是坚持我的种花行为.故选A.
51.C 考查动词辨析.根据语境可知,作者不顾反对,坚持种花,继续享受种花乐趣.故选C.
52.C 考查动词辨析.根据语境可知,在培育花木的过程中,作者因为已经对大自然、对花木有了深厚的感情.所以她用亲切的笔触、用拟人的手法写道:"they breathe,they bloom,they respond to care and love.",所以respond to"回应(作者的关爱)"是最适当的.故选C.
53.D 考查动词辨析.此题应该看成是对37题、40题的重现,都是对作者当年开始养花的最初目的诠释.challenge"挑战父母的耐心,对着干".故选C.
54.A 考查形容词辨析.根据语境可知,作者在变化,作者的父母也在改变.作者在园艺上做出了一番成就,当然会让她的父母为之骄傲.故选A.
55.D 考查名词辨析.主题重现,也和第一段首尾呼应.第一段"My early intention of gardening may not have originated from my love for nature.",而最后一句,作者不无感叹地说:"And now I could say it is my affection for nature that makes me a real gardener.",真正让作者坚持下来,变成一个真正的园林工作者的原因,是因为对大自然的热爱.故选D.
