[答案]

我们不要轻易地拒绝做好事。因为有时候,如果我们拒绝了做好事,那就意味着要失去些什么。本文讲的就是这样一个例子:克莱顿夫妇有个令他们骄傲的儿子--弗兰克。弗兰克上完大学后,去参军了。在战争中他消失了一段时间,突然有一天夫妇二人接到了儿子打来的电话,欣喜若狂。但儿子提了个要求:带一个好战友回家,但这个战友伤得很严重,面目全非。但母亲未同意儿子的战友在家长住。后来他们得到消息,他们的儿子自杀了,让他们去辨认。去了之后,发现儿子口中的那个战友就是儿子自己。

1.B。依据上文Frank was drafted into the army及后文的严重受伤可知,Frank是去了前线。其他选项都不合理。

2.D。依据下文的his well-being及上文提及的Frank参军去了前线可知,儿子去了前线并一直安然无恙,作为父母,得到这个消息,一定是很欣慰的。再者thankful也常与for搭配。

3.C。依据下文的may have been killed可以排除B、D两项。而A项不符合逻辑。所以只可能是“失踪了”。

4.A。作为战士,当然是去战场执行任务,所以可能是在行动中死去了。下文没有提及车辆的碰撞、飞机的坠毁,也没有提及炸弹,更不可能是犯罪,故答案只可能是A。

5.C。自己引以为自豪的孩子失踪了,可能阵亡了,克莱顿夫妇二人一定会觉得伤心、孤独。不可能是疯狂、害怕及恐慌,所以A、B、D三项不符合常理。

6.B。夫妇二人失望了,后来三周过去了,他们的儿子又打来电话,这里有转折的意味。

7.C。打电话的时候,两人分别是在电话线的两端,而不是在两边,因为距离依下文来看明显很远。该题考生容易受汉语式思维的影响而错选B。

8.A。上文提及了电报传来消息说儿子失踪了,可能是阵亡了,所以Frank打电话告诉父母的应该是(有人)找到了他。故该处用found,表“找到”之意。

9.D。依据下文的tears running down her cheeks可知,该处只能用with,构成with的复合结构,表伴随。

10.D。上文提及双方打电话,而下文又有then Frank said,由此可知,这期间Frank应该是在犹豫是否提出下面的要求,所以这里是沉默。其他选项不符合语境。

11.B。依据上文,Frank是上完大学参的军,交朋友依据逻辑不可能是在战场或战斗中,由此可以排除A、C、D三项。

12.B。依据语境,这里讲的自然是非常亲密的朋友。

13.C。朋友与自己的关系非常密切,当然应该是无处可去才会求助自己。这里Frank想告诉父母自己的要求不寻常,希望能得到父母的同意。

14.A。依据空后两句话以及文章最后一句的with a disfigured face, one leg missing, and his right hand gone可知,是在战斗中受了严重的伤。injured常表身体受伤,而hurt常表精神、情感受伤。C、D项不符合语境。

15.D。依文章最后一段的暗示with a disfigured face, one leg missing, and his right hand gone可以得出答案为D。

16.A。这里讲Frank的战友对于别人是否能接受他感到很不安,因为自己已经面目全非。B项有迷惑性,但A项才是最适合该语境的。

17.A。一个面目全非的伤员,理应是担心别人是否会接受自己。B、C、D三项不符合语境。

18.D。依据下文可知,该处Frank的母亲只是同意让儿子的战友来看看,而非长久居住,可以排除A、B、C三项。

19.A。依据下文可知,一周过去了,没有关于Frank的任何消息。word这里表“消息”。

20.B。依据空后的his life可知,这里表达Frank自杀了之意。如果是himself而不是his life的话,答案就应该是killed。
