25、己的画纸太普通，即不够“特别”，所以选special。relevant“有关的”，fair“公平的，适当的”，regular“有规律的，定期的”，均不符合语境。2A.color Bshape Cquality DpriceA 句中these sticks指的是首句提到的crayons，所以空处应该是指蜡笔的颜色，所以选color。3A.ruined Battracted Cpresented DrequiredC 根据空前的walls和空后的view并结合选项可知，present“展现，表现”符合语境。4A.forbidden BdisappointingCfrightening Drotte
26、nA 根据yet可知，inviting(诱人的)和空处表示的意义是相对的，所以选A项。5A.broken Bdecorated Cpainted DhiddenD 根据语境“这一些墙壁有时人们能够看见而有时又看不见，就像妈妈和爸爸的衣柜的壁板一样”可以推断出作者心中的画板是“隐藏的”，所以选hidden。6A.Flying BSkipping CWaving DSlippingD 根据上段作者心理的描述可知作者认为隐藏的画板就是父母的衣柜的壁板，所以他为了不被人们发现应该是悄悄地溜进父母的房间，所以选Slipping。7A.pictures Bclothes Cwalls DbooksB 根据
27、生活常识可以知道衣柜里常常放置的是大量的衣服(clothes)。8A.images Bcameras Csmiles DactsA 空前的“Words and”决定四个选项中与之词义最接近的是images(图像)，即作者脑海中充满了千言万语和即将绘制的图画。9A.opened Bcried Cadvanced DfadedA 根据空前“一面壁板上看到一道灿烂的彩虹”可推知，此处指“花儿到处开放(opened)”。10A.dinner Bmagic Centerprise DgarbageB 由空后的“My masterpiece(杰作)”可以推断作者觉得眼前的画很神奇，是属于自己的魔术，满心欢
28、喜，所以选magic(魔术，戏法)。11A.abandoned BreducedCswelled DpuzzledC 参见上题解析。12A.broke down Bcame upCgot off Dwent awayB 根据本段前三句可以推断作者突然产生一种与人分享喜悦的想法，所以选came up(出现)。break down“分解，出故障，失败”，get off“(使)动身，(从)下来”，go away“离开”，均不符合语境。13A.ambitious BenergeticCpleasant DstillD 根据空后两句可以推断作者欣喜之余突然又产生了担心，因为在父母衣柜的壁板上画画是否会引
29、起妈妈的批评呢？所以作者突然站在那里纹丝不动，陷入了思考，所以选still“静止不动的”。ambitious“野心勃勃的，有雄心的”；energetic“精力充沛的”；pleasant“令人愉快的”。14A.left Bescaped Capproached DjumpedC 根据空后“衣柜的门开了”可以判断妈妈进到房间里面来了，所以选approached“走近，靠近”。15A.actively Bconfidently Cnervously DgentlyC 根据语境并结合常识可以推断妈妈的突然出现必然引起作者的紧张，担心受到妈妈的批评，所以选nervously“紧张地”。16A.grate
30、ful Bmerry Cfond DmadD 根据前句作者心理状态的描述可以推断作者在祈祷妈妈看到自己的所作所为后不要生气(mad)。17A.addicted BashamedCembarrassed DfrozenD 从空前妈妈呼吸急促和空后妈妈长时间不说话只是看着作者的画可以推断妈妈是被眼前的画面震惊了，所以选frozen。addicted“沉迷的”；ashamed“羞愧的”；embarrassed“尴尬的”。18A.deny Bbreathe Claugh DnodB 根据前句可以推断作者此时是极其紧张的，不敢呼吸(breathe)，等待妈妈的反应。19A.Eventually BTraditionallyCStrangely DNaturallyA 根据上一段对妈妈的描述可以判断，很长时间之后，妈妈终于(Eventually)发表了自己的看法。traditionally“传统上”；strangely“奇怪地”；naturally“自然”。20A.abuse Bcelebration Clove DguidanceC 根据上述故事可知，小时候即使那个白色的衣柜看起来很大，但是妈妈对作者的爱是所有东西中最大的(biggest)，所以选love。
