解析试题分析:这是一则感人的生活故事。丈夫为了关爱因遭受意外而双目失明的妻子,起初每天护送 她上下班,继而每天默默地跟着她,以防出现意外。丈夫的关爱给了她战胜黑暗的决心和毅力。
【小题1】下面一段开头说,Susan 双目失明已经有一年了,由此判断,这里表示她上公交车之后,用双 手摸索着找座位,因此选D,表示,"触摸,摸索"。本题考生易错选A 项。touch:press or strike(sth./sb.)lightly, esp.with the hand 轻触,轻碰(某物/某人);grab 攫取,抓取,夺取,霸占;count 计算,数,认为,看作, 计数,有重要意义,有价值。选D
【小题2】本段第一句交代了 Susan 双目失明已经一年了,因此语境表示"由于一场事故,她突然被抛 进了黑暗的世界"。weakness 软弱;sickness 疾病;sadness 悲伤。选C
【小题3】Susan 的丈夫 Mark 看着自己的妻子陷入绝望的状态,于是决定想尽一切办法来帮助她。sink into sth.(不用于被动语态):go into (a less active or happy state)"陷入(消极、不活跃或不愉快的状态)",符 合语境。run into 偶然遇到,途中遭遇(恶劣天气等);jump into 跳进;step into 走进去,步入。选B
【小题4】根据语境,丈夫看见妻子由于意外事故而双目失明并且对生活感到绝望,此时的他当然是要下 定决心,采取一切办法帮助妻子,因此选B。be determined to do sth.下定决心做某事。
【小题5】由空后 her job 及"她怎么能到那里呢",可知本空表示 Susan 决心重返工作岗位,因此选 A。return:come or go back to a place 回,返回。
【小题6】结合语境看,Susan 突然双目失明,此时的她面对生活的变故,自然是惊魂未定,因此选D, frightened 恐惧的,害怕的,受惊的。此时的她不是感到疲倦(tired),也不是感到惊讶、吃惊(astonished)。 C项depressed"忧愁的,消沉的,沮丧的"不如D 项更符合她突然失去光明时茫然与无助的心态。
【小题7】她的丈夫主动陪伴她乘坐公交车上下班。这里用 volunteer to do sth.表示"自愿地或无偿地给 予或提供(帮助、建议等)"。attempt to do sth.试图/企图/试做某事,用于过去时往往含有该动作失败的含 义;continue to do sth.继续做某事,不符合语境,因为是妻子出现这样的情况之后 Mark 才这样做的;struggle 表示"挣扎",不符合语境中对丈夫主动关心妻子的叙述。故选A。
【小题8】从语境的连贯看,这里用 until 引导时间状语从句表示"直到为止"。Mark 每天早上陪妻 子上班,晚上陪妻子下班回家,直到她能独自坐公交车上下班。选C
【小题9】根据上文,丈夫 Mark 每天早晚都要陪妻子一起坐公交车(ride the bus with Susan each morning and evening),因此这里用 accompany 表示"陪伴,陪同"。其他选项的主要含义:drive 开车;direct指导,引导;send 派遣。选C
【小题10】妻子双目失明,此时丈夫就教妻子如何利用其他感官的功能。用 sense 表示"感官",包括视 觉、听觉、嗅觉、味觉和触觉。如:the five senses 五种感官;have a keen sense of hearing 听觉灵敏。A项意为"情感,感觉";B 项意为"器官";C 项意为"技巧"。选D
【小题11】结合语境看,本题选B 表示"环境"。他教给她如何依靠自己其他的感官能力,特别是她的听 觉,以此来判断自己在什么地方,以及如何适应她所在的新环境。position 位置,方位,地点;status状态,地位,情形;role 角色。这三者都不符合语境。选B
【小题12】她最终决定在双目失明的情况下,不要丈夫陪伴而独自试着去上下班。(all) on one's own:① alone 独自,如:I'm all on my own today.今天我是独自一人。She lives on her own.她独自过日子。②without help or supervision;alone 独自地,单独地,如:He can be left to work on his own.工作可交给他一个人去做。 其他选项的含义不符合语境。in person:physically present 亲身,亲自,本人;to one's benefit 对某人有利; on foot 步行。选A。
【小题13】对Susan 来说,为盲人的她要第一次试着独自出门乘坐公交车,是一个特殊的事情,因此 她眼里含着感激的泪水"紧紧地"拥抱丈夫。A 项意为"有礼貌地";B 项意为"冷静地";C 项意为"简 短地",都不符合语境。选D。
【小题14】根据语境可知"妻子这次要独自一人乘坐公交车",因此本题选 B,表示"分别,各自"。他 们说了一声再见,然后各自去上班。separate:forming a unit by itself;existing apart 单独存在的,分开的。 opposite 相反的;fixed 固定的;lonely 孤独的,均不符合语境。选B。
【小题15】从此,Susan 每天都能独自乘车上下班了,她充满了兴奋的感觉。take hold of"抓住,拿住, 握住(某人/某物)",这里表示"兴奋的感觉笼罩着她"。take charge of (sth.)控制或掌管(某事物),承担(某事 物的)责任;B 项是错误搭配,应该是 take the place of (取代,代替)或 take place (发生);C项take advantage of sth./sb.:①make use of sth.well,properly,etc.充分利用;②make use of sb./sth.unfairly or deceitfully to get what one wants;exploit sb./sth.(为达到个人目的而不正当地或不老实地)利用某人或某事物。选D。
【小题16】有一个星期五的早晨,Susan 和往常一样坐公交车去上班。as usual 与往常一样;as a rule按规定;as well 也;as a consequence 因此,结果。根据语境选A。
【小题17】从下文这位司机所说的话判断选 B,表示"羡慕,嫉妒"。司机说,"这位小姐,我好羡慕你 啊。"A 项意为"尊敬";C 项意为"知道,认识";D 项意为"支持",都不符合语境。选B。
【小题18】在下公交车的时候,司机突然说了这样一句话,这让 Susan 不明白是什么意思,就问司机为 什么要这样说。这里用why 表示"为什么"。选C。
【小题19】本句的谓语动词使用了现在完成进行时,表示延续到现在的动作,因此这里选A,"在过去的 一…里",用"in/for/during the last/past+一段时间"表示"在过去的多长时间里"。B 项意为"同样的,相 同的",不符合语境;选C 项意为"在第一个星期",选D 项意为"在下个星期",均与主句谓语动词的时 态不相符。故选A。
【小题19】她虽然失去了光明,但是丈夫给予她的礼物比她所失去的光明更坚强有力:这是丈夫的爱的礼物,这份礼物能驱赶黑暗,带来光明。选C。
