[答案]

文章讲述了作者从父亲那里学到了人生重要的一课,即人要保持健康的生活方式,保持乐观向上的心态。

21.B。根据第一段的第一句话和最后一句话可知,作者父亲的生活方式是健康的,因此这里填hardly符合语境,即他几乎从来不生病。

22.D。avoid“避免”;ban“禁止”;serve“提供,服务”;touch“接触”。显然D项符合语境,即他几乎从来不喝酒。

23.A。考查上下文语境。根据后面句子中的sing可知,这里说的是嗓音。

24.C。if引导条件状语从句,符合题意。这句话的意思是:如果你想唱好歌,你要保护好自己(的嗓子)。

25.C。blame“责备”。根据她父亲说的话可知,他是在责备作者,但是他说得比较委婉。其他几项不符合语境:punish“惩罚”,order“命令”,显然都不符合语境;scold“责骂,训斥”,语气太重,不符合语境。

26.A。idea“主意,想法”,即你早点睡觉是个好主意。其他几项不符合题意。

27.C。all in all“总之”;all over“彻底地,完全地”;all the time“一直”;all right“好,同意”。根据文章内容可知C项正确。

28.A。from表示原因。他从来不抱怨,甚至在他因为癌症而不舒服时都是如此,直到最后癌症夺走了他的生命。

29.B。take one’s life是固定短语,意思是“夺去某人的生命”。

30.C。make a plan“制订计划”;make a living“谋生”;make a choice“作出选择”;make a promise“许诺”。根据上下文内容可知C项正确,即他选择的是积极(乐观)的生活方式。

31.D。这句话的意思是:我很高兴我们有机会同台演出。其他选项不符合语境。

32.B。even though/if表示“尽管”,引导让步状语从句,符合语境。

33.D。happily“高兴地”;fortunately“幸运地”;truly“真实地”;naturally“自然地”。根据文章内容可知,D项符合题意。

34.B。success表示“成功”,即取得了很大的成功。其他选项不符合题意。

35.D。realize表示“感觉到,意识到”。这句话是说:当我获得成功的时候,我意识到家里一直有一位伟大的歌手(即父亲)。

36.D。“我”意识到自己家里有一个很伟大的“歌手”,即父亲。其他几个词不符合题意:dancers“舞蹈演员”;editors“编辑”;listeners“听众”。

37.A。nervous“紧张的,烦乱的”。从后面作者父亲说的话可知,他在安慰和鼓励作者,因此本题选nervous,即作者感到紧张。其他几个词不符合语境:shy“害羞的”;scared“恐惧的”;upset“烦乱的,不高兴的”。

38.C。calm“使平静”,符合语境。

39.B。父亲的意思是:你要相信这一点。即要作者相信他前面说的话。
