Answer 1

答案：D:C;A;C;B;D:B:D;A;C:B;D;B;A;C;D;A;C;A;B;A;C;C;D;B
解析：

1．前文给出的情景是缓慢爬楼，提着大箱子，所以当爬到第三层时，自然应该是感觉疲惫，选D。 2．本题的A、B、C中的三个动词take，mind， miss都可以和a step构成搭配关系，但是意思不同。考生解决本题需要准确理解全句的意思：Worse still，Dad...a step and fell，sending my new suitcase...down the stairs．虽然此句有两个空，但是，考生依据fell和sending...down the stairs仍然能够做出判断：Dad是滑倒了。     在此题上失误的原因有以下几个：     (1)没有想到miss与a step的确搭配；     (2)没有想到或不清楚miss具有fail to do／take， etc...的意思；     (3)过多地依靠汉语翻译；     (4)没有注意本句的语境条件；     (5)习惯于take a step的固定搭配。 3．A项，滚动，滚下；B项，穿过；C项，掉落；D项，转向。箱子顺着有倾斜度的楼梯滚下去，A项最合适。 4．父亲对箱子发脾气，就孩子而言，不会是一种痛苦或遭罪，也不会是困难，困境，抑或危险，只能是麻烦和问题，C项trouble合理诠释这一心理活动。 5．本题需要进行全语境判断(the global judgment)。在考生做题时，本小题可能是最后做出判断的题目之一，因为，在考生完成大部分题目之前，他们是无法确定Dad脸红是由于什么原因，无法推断故事中的“I”在父亲脸红时通常可能有哪些反应，是放弃(give up)，是坚持(hold on)，还是开始(做某事)(go ahead)，也无法知道， Dad的特定性格给“I”造成了什么影响。只有在考生正确地判断了大部分项目之后，look out的意思才会在考生的头脑里“脱颖而出”。Look out小心。     下面的语句对考生做出正确判断是十分重要的：     (1) How could I ever (31 get) him to finish unloading the ear without screaming at me and making a scene in front of the other girls...     (2) “(36 Find) the room quickly,” I thought. “Get him into a chair and calmed down.”     (3) Dad’s face turned decidedly (48 less red) before he could bring out a “yes”.     此题上的失误都可以导源于局部性判断。 6．A项，领导；B项，帮助；C项，鼓励；D项，使得。Get somebody to do something为固定搭配，意为让某人做某事。 7．A项，在……之后；B项，若没有；C项，当；D项，除此以外。此处采用local judgment的做题方法，与前文ever相对应的只有B项without。 8．本文故事的发生情景是大学入学时收拾东西的忙乱，这些女孩将是作者的舍友，一起度过剩下的时光，故选D，rest。 9．A项，困难的；B项，匆忙的；C项，步伐稳健；D项，疑惑的。显然，父亲提着箱子，步履维艰，应该选A。 10．判断本小题需要考生根据第1、2自然段的描述准确地把握“I”在当时当地那种特定境遇中的内心活动，涉及这种内心活动的语句有：      (1) “Damn!” he screamed, his face turning red．I knew trouble was ahead.      (2) ... making a scene in front of the other girls, girls I would have to spend the rest of the year with?      (3) Doors were opening and faces peering out      (4) I felt in the bones that...     这些措辞表明：父亲身处的文化环境与学校的文化环境的明显冲突对一个女孩子内心所施与的压力。她认为，父亲的行为举止在学校环境中所造成的影响破坏了她对即将开始的学校新生活的美好设想。所以，此处的准确措辞必须是a bad start。     如果考生仅仅把自己的思路停留在语言的表面意思上，那么，他们就很难根据文中的相关暗示去设身处地地体会“I”的内心活动。 11．Search直接接宾语，意为搜身，没有寻找的意思；还没找到房间，进入房间enter，也就无从谈起；学生宿舍不用定book房间，综上，B项find最合适。 12．A项，实际上；B项，偶然的；C项，又一次；D项，那么，接下来。此处缺的是一个转承的副词短语，表现问题一个接一个的出现，D比较合适。 13．此处需运用global judgment的方法，参见后文the room wasn’t empty at all，由此此处对应选B项empty，空的。 14．A项，最后；B项，与此同时；C项，迟早；D项，此刻。作者经过一番思想斗争，产生诸多疑惑之后，最终决定开门，故选A。 15．A项，是关上门，上锁，与原文意思相反；B项，强推，动词时态不对；C项，推门，开锁之后，自然应该推门进去，选C；D项，尝试，不符文意。 16．父亲一直在抱怨磕伤膝盖的事情，D项，仍然，符合文意。A项，却，还；B项，仅仅；C项，曾经。 17．作者探头进去，是做了最坏的打算，A项，worst符合文意。B项，椅子，C项，最好的，D项，茶，都不太相关。 18．To one’s regret/disappointment/surprise都可以组成搭配，前文已经做好最坏的打算了，可能房间里什么都没有，后文却说有家具，正合他意，有意转折关系，C项surprise合适。 19．Amy和作者同住一屋，是室友，roommate。 20．A项，打开（音乐）；B项，把音量关小，因为Amy在和Cori说话，所以将音乐音量关小，选B；C项，放音乐；D项，欣赏音乐。 21．从后文可知，Amy在同我父亲说话，you’re Mr. Faber。选A。 22．此处应该是Amy说话时的表情，纵观各项，只有C项smiling，微笑着问（我父亲）才符合题意。 23．听到如此温暖的话语，父亲的火气自然消了不少，脸也不会象开始那么红了，C项符合题意。 24．A项，很快；B项，那儿；C项，之后；D项，那时。从那一刻，我就明白Amy的好脾气了，所以D项最合适。 25．我和Amy是成为好朋友，而非有血缘的姐妹，学生或一般意义上的伙伴。选B。
