17、s away. (完形填空一第一段)由于汽油价格昂贵，他们负担不起开车去几英里外的洗衣房的费用。(1)Since weve got a few minutes to wait for the train，lets have a cup of coffee.既然等火车还需要几分钟，我们去喝杯咖啡吧。(2)Since it is late I shall go home now.由于时间晚了，我现在要回家了。2To_the_familys_astonishment，the friends suggested they use their Bendix.

20、助她，尽管她得了多发性硬化病。(1)We need to send that letter off as soon as we can (as soon as possible)我们必须尽快把那封信寄出去。(2) Come as quickly as you can (as quickly as possible)尽快来吧。Test 6.1.B结合本段后半部分的内容可知他们从不曾“拥有”(owned)一台洗衣机。本题易错选A项。2A他们没有洗衣机，又不能开车把衣服送往洗衣店，因而如何让衣服保持“清洁”(clean)就成了家中的一大难题。3D他们的一个朋友参军了，朋友的妻子也“准备”(prepa
21、red)一同前去。4B考查行文逻辑。他们本没有洗衣机，是在得到朋友的许可后才有了这种设备，所以这就是他们怎样“得到”(gotacquired和第一句相呼应)洗衣机的。 5C小约翰帮着洗衣服，多年来对这台老式绿色洗衣机“产生”(developed)了感情。6C看到儿子不高兴，母亲自然会过来“安慰”(comfort)。7A朋友是因为参军才把洗衣机暂时留给他们使用，他们才有了这样的“机会”，因此他们的内心应该充满感激。8D根据后文内容所述(是母亲的话让他走出了失去女儿的痛苦)可知此处表示母亲的话被证实是“极其宝贵的”(invaluable无价的，价值连城的)。important“重要的”；neces
22、sary“必要的”；reasonable“合情合理的”。9B他无法从“失去”女儿的痛苦中走出来。下一段的最后一句也是暗示。10C此处与下文倒数第二个空格前面的gift相呼应。另外，前面的“That we ever got to use it at all was a gift.”也是线索提示。11A正如他们可以短暂享有朋友的洗衣机这个礼物一样，他能够“拥有”(shared分享，拥有)心爱的女儿，已经非常幸运了。earn“赢得”，具有一定的干扰性。此题为易错题。12A此处与第三段最后一句中的grateful相呼应。B项energetic“精力充沛的”，具有一定的干扰性，但与下一句意思重复。.1.
23、living据常识可知，应该是“生活”在不同国家的人们有不同的语言。2languages从前面的different kinds of words和后一句的句意可知，此处应该用languages。3.or空缺处前后是选择关系。4all我们并不需要字典里“所有的”词汇，故用all。5Before从句意可知，空缺处是一个时间状语从句，且从句动作发生在主句动作之前，故用before。6written句意为：有许多书是用简易的英语写的。因空缺处是作后置定语，且与books之间是被动关系，故用write的过去分词written。7uplook up查阅，look up in the dictionary意
24、为“查字典”。8most根据上下文句意可知，字典是“最”有用的书，此处应该用most。.1.C细节理解题。由文章第一段第一句“Ashley Susi has turned a hobby into a good deed”可知Ashley Susi学习织围巾的初衷只是爱好而已。故答案选C。2C细节理解题。文章第二段第一句说，Ashley Susi也让她的母亲参与其中，并且下文说两人已经共同织了约50条围巾。故只有C项表述正确。3A主旨大意题。文章第三段列举了Ashley Susi以前所做过的事，其目的就是要说明Ashley Susi是一个乐于助人的人，不论是在家里，还是在外面。4D推理判断题。选项A是文章最后一段直接提到的，不是推断出来的；同时文章最后一段提到Ashley最初的目标是100条围巾，但现在就不一定了，所以选项B不对；文章并没有暗示Ashley的行为受到广泛的赞扬，所以选项C不对；文章第二段最后一句提到，母女俩通过改变颜色等方式使该活动有趣，这同时也说明，该项活动有时是很单调的。故答案选D。
