题目内容
1.My mother used to say things just to make me mad.Like most teenagers,I thought I knew everything.And I didn't want to be told when I didn't know what to do.For example,if I said I was going to a movie,my (66)motherwould roll(转动) her eyes.On my way (67)out,she would shout:"You need to slow yourself down before something bad happens!You don't want to learn the hard way!"I didn't know (68)what that meant.I thought she just wanted me to (69)stay at home.Many years later I had three teenagers of my own.They thought they (70)knew everything.I would say the (71)same things to them like my mom.That's when I first saw it.My mother wasn't trying to make me stay at home.She was (72)trying to help me.
Why do we always have to learn things"the hard way"?Why can't we just accept our elders'wisdom?It's a good lesson for anyone.Clearly,I still haven't learned it.
Yesterday,I stepped out of the shower when I heard my cell phone (73)ringing in the kitchen.Grabbing a towel,I ran through the house.I grabbed the phone and hit my (74)left foot against the table.The X-ray showed that I'd broken two toes(脚趾).
We all need to (75)slow ourselves down once in a while,before something bad does it for us.My mother was right about a lot of things.I wish I could have told her.
分析 文章大意:本文讲述了作者小时候像其他年轻人一样,自以为自己知道一切,嫌妈妈的叮嘱烦人;直到作者自己有孩子后,做着同样的事情,并自己不小心撞到了脚后才发现妈妈是对的,我们都需要慢下来.
解答 66.mother 考查名词.由主文My mother used to say things just to make me mad和首字母可知,此处应该填mother表示当我说我要去看电影时,妈妈就会转动她的眼睛.
67.out 考查固定搭配.结合语境可知,当我在出去的路上,她就会对我大喊:"在不好的事情发生前你得慢点…",on one's way out表示在某人外出的路上.
68.what 考查宾语从句.分析句子可知空格处引导宾语从句作know的宾语,且从句that meant缺宾语,所以要用what来引导,表示我不知道那意味着什么.
69.stay 考查固定搭配.结合语境可知我觉得她是想让我呆在家里,stay at…表示呆在…
70.knew 考查动词与时态.由Like most teenagers,I thought I knew everything可得到此题答案的提示,此处表示他们觉得他们知道一切,且由had,would等词可知时态是一般过去时,填know的过去式.
71.same 考查形容词.结合语境和like可知,此处表示我也会和妈妈一样对他们说同样的事情,填same修饰名词things表示相同的事情.
72.trying 考查动词与时态.结合语境可知此表示她是在努力的帮助我.she和try间是主谓关系,且有be动词was,可以联想到此处表示过去进行时,填try的现在分词即可,try to do sth表示努力做某事.
73.ringing 考查固定搭配.hear…doing…表示听到…正在…;此处表示当我听到电话响的时候,电话响用ring来表示,此处填ring的ing形式即可.
74.left 考查形容词.空格处修饰名词foot,要用形容词修饰,结合语境可知是撞到了左脚,填left表示左边的.
75.slow 考查动词.由第一段妈妈说的You need to slow yourself down before something bad happens和My mother was right可知此处填slow表示慢下来.
点评 考查对文章大意的理解和平时词汇量的积累,此类题需要结合语境和首字母来联想出正确的单词;名词需要注意是否有数的变化,动词要注意是否有时态和人称的变化.
