1.B形容词辨析。A.担忧的;B.兴奋的;C. 焦虑的; D. 渴望的。根据后面句的原因状语从句because we hadn't seen him for five months,可以推测在即将见到几个月未曾见面的丈夫(或者女儿的父亲)时,作者和女儿非常兴奋,答案选B。
2.D动词辨析。 A.爱;B. 认为;C. 想象;D. 想念。从前句表示的原因because we hadn't seen him for five months,可以推测孩子会非常想念父亲,答案选D。
3.A形容词辨析。A. 满的; B. 拥挤的;C. 空的; D. 超重的。根据下文作者的讲述可知从Charlotte到Miami的航班是满载着乘客,而crowded则表达拥挤混乱之意,不符合飞机的实际状况,答案选A。
4.B动词辨析。A. 到达 ;B. 到达; C. 着陆 ;D. 敲击。reach 是及物动词“到达”,不和介词搭配;land意思是“降落”,knock“撞、敲”均不符合语境,arrive in 是“到达”的意思,故答案选B。
5.C动词辨析。A. 分离; B. 阻碍;C. 分开; D. 联系。根据and前面部分Kallie and I could not get seats together可知作者和女儿没有坐在一起,答案选C。
6.D形容词辨析。A. 万一;B. 即使;C. 好像;D. 为的是。根据上文可知作者和女儿没有坐在一起,想和别人换座位为的是能坐在一起,方便照顾女儿,所以此处表示目的,选D。
7.B动词辨析。A. 阻止; B. 拒绝;C. 同意;D. 许诺。根据两名乘客说的话they thought they should stay in their assigned seats.可知他们没有答应作者换座位的请求,答案选B。
8.A动词辨析。A. 恐慌; B. 匆忙;C. 冲;D. 座位。从下文的叙述可知坐在作者前面的一个母亲和三个孩子都没有坐在一起,孩子们不能受到照顾,根据She was in tears,判断当时母亲和孩子们内心慌乱,答案选A。
9.C副词辨析。A. 然而 ;B. 而且; C. 因此;D. 代替。由上句内容There had been a mistake in their boarding passes 和下句内容the whole family had been split up可知前后是因果关系,故答案选C。
10.D副词辨析。A. 也; B. 甚至; C.曾经; D.也。根据上文内容可知作者想换座位遭到了别人的拒绝,此时的这位母亲同样也遭到了拒绝,答案选D。
11.A形容词辨析。A. 担忧的; B. 好奇的;C. 特别的; D. 满意的。由情理判断母亲对于没在自己身边的孩子非常担心,答案选A,其余选项不合语境。
12.B动词辨析。A. 建议; B. 提供; C. 供应; D. 支持。从词的搭配可知offer 后可以跟不定式,表示“主动提供”,而其他动词没有此用法,故答案选B。
13.C名词辨析。 A.责任 ;B. 观看; C.木板,甲板;D. 斑点。on duty“值日”;on watch “值班,监视”;on board“在飞机或轮船上”on the spot“当场”。根据文章内容可知这是在飞机上发生的事情,所以答案选C。
14.D动词辨析。A. 花费 ;B. 花费; C.付款 ;D. 度过。spend time doing sth “花费时间做某事”,答案选D。句意:他用几分钟重新安排了一下他的队员……
15.B形容词辨析。A. 方便的;B. 有效的,可以使用的;C. 可能的; D. 舒服的。从语境可知童子军的队长重新安排队友的位置为的是能够给母子四人腾出足够的地方,答案选B。
16.D名词辨析。A. 允许;B. 借口;C.道歉 ;D. 抱怨。根据and前面的形容词cheerfully可知他们欣然接受队长的安排,而没有丝毫勉强和抱怨,答案选D。
17.A名词辨析。A. 想法;B. 结尾; C. 感觉 ;D. 情感。根据情理判断当孩子一想到不能挨着妈妈坐的时候,会感觉恐慌,短语:at the thought of“一想到……”,答案选A。
18.D副词辨析。A.立刻;B. 迷惑地 ;C.清楚地;D. 惊讶地。从当时的情景可知在作者没有提出请求的情况下,一个陌生人主动帮助他们,让作者感到惊喜,答案选D。。
19.B动词形容词辨析。A. 开大; B.转身;C. 结果是;D. 避开。根据语境可知此处那个人转身对作者说话,其余不符合语境,答案选B。
20.D动词辨析。A.插入;? B. 保持;C.挥动;D. 提及。由上文可知此处是对上文出现的our进行解释,refer to“指的是”,所以答案选D。
考点:考查故事类短文阅读。
Every year Chris Brogan posts his three words for a new year. many others and I have followed his lead for the past three or four years. They helped me a lot. My words for last year were “passion”, “focus” and “delegate” and I stayed true to them. This year, 2013, my goals are more personal and less professional.
FOCUS
Focus is making a repeat appearance on my list this year because I’m too much of a multitasker. The problem is that I have trouble finishing one thing with so many things calling me. When I was working as a writer, all my projects were handled via a schedule, I’m putting a fitness and housekeeping routine into my schedule.
HEALTH
I get so busy taking care of everyone else, and I forget to take care of myself and this has to change. My health suffers and my weight suffers. I have to get my health in check , not only for me but because I promised my 9-year-old son. I’ll make good food and lifestyle choices. I miss being thin, and it’s time to get it back.
CELEBRATE
What good is having it if I’m not taking time to enjoy it? I have a wonderful job, a happy family, and so much to be thankful for. So how come I spend all my time working? Last summer my family took our first vacation in four years, the best thing I’ve done for myself and my family in a long time. This year, I’m making sure to take time to enjoy life and celebrate its many blessings.
