11、 my father. The idea of learning from Dad was not one that thrilled me. I loved him dearly, but I just did not see Dad as someone I could be comfortable learning from. He almost never talked.

57、，请你以好朋友的名义，给处于紧张高考备考中的高三学生李华写一封信，词数100左右，鼓励他增强自信、认真备考。提示：适度的紧张是有益的；提高效率、劳逸结合；保持乐观、自信。注意：1词数100左右；2可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯；Dear Li Hua,_Yours,Xiao ming答案与解析：21DA、B、C三项在文章中均有提及，D项只字未提。22D在organizer标题后，对Michael Anderson作了描述，便知答案为D。A、B、C与文章内容不符。23C从Tickets标题后可知，到10月20日止，票价是40美元一张，但是活动截止后，价格为45美元一张，每张票价上升了5美元，所以
58、如果在20号之前买4张票，则可节省45美元共20美元。答案为C。24C根据本篇文章的信息、结构，应是在一家关于读书的网站发布的，讲的是社会上对读书的关注及支持。25DA、B、C文章均未提及，D项在第一段最后一句有提到。26C根据上下文，一向不言语的爸爸，在陪他练车时突然滔滔不绝地讲了很多关于他自己的事情，这只能是让作者深感意外。shocking有surprising的意思。27B文章内容提到平时不言语的爸爸，此时说了很多话，所以答案为B。28A从文章爸爸的变化以及最后一句，可以看得出，真正了解一个人需要沟通。这才是文章的主题。29A从文章第二段可以看出，他爸爸觉得这不是一个复杂的东西，建议大家
59、应该花时间做点别的，看得出，父亲对此发明不以为然。30C从文章第4段可知，Ann是在发现她好友的困境时，有此念头作这个发明的。31B从文章倒数第3段，“Hers was the last name they expected to be called out the winner for herage group”可知，作者和他爸爸认为他的发明是在他这个年龄组里最不可能获奖的，所以获奖后才会感到震惊。32D从文章倒数第2段可知，与市场上的手电筒相比，他新发明的手电筒还是相形见绌。shy是关键词。33D从第一段最后一句就可知答案为D。34C从最后两句话可知，Zach Bonner认为做慈善事业很
60、快乐，从而表明他对工作的态度。A、B、D均不是此段的主要思想。35BA、C、D根据文章大意，均是错误的说法。36D根据下文的If you are used to focusing on your shortcomings, .可知，此段是讲关于如何处理自己的负面心理的。37A此段主要讲错误是人生成长的重要组成部分，整段都是围绕错误这一主题的，所以选A。38B从此段大意及最后一句可知，如何面对自己力所能及和不可改变的状况。39F此段讲关于乐于助人，为社会作出贡献可以提升自己心理上自我认知的状态。所以标题与下面的内容相融合。40G从标题Have fun可看出，人要适时放松，才会有更好的状态。414
61、5 A C A B C4650 D B A C A5155 B D C A C5660 B A C B D解析：41A上下文可知，作者一直期待他的孩子喊她“妈妈”。42C“自闭症”应该属于健康问题，是心理上的一种疾病。43Adiagnose意为“诊断”，合乎文章大意。44B根据上下文，他不能说，而且也不愿意说。45C上下文，他不说话也不愿意说话，所以，作者才从未听见他说的话，不可能是发出的声音。46D因为孩子经常不说话，所以作者才学会了与孩子的沉默共存，符合上、下文大意。47Bprefer to do sth.“宁愿去做某事”，融合于上文。48Alook through“对某人视而不见，假装没
62、看见某人”，符合自闭症孩子的状况。49Crecognize“认出来”，说明孩子的病情加重了。50Alet sth./sb. go“对放手”，为固定搭配，符合上下文。51Bevenif“即使”，为固定连词，契合大意。52D根据上文中提到，孩子根本不愿意看她，甚至不认识她，可以看出，这位妈妈渴望看到孩子眼神中对自己的认可。53C上下文判断应该很难识辨，故选hardly。54Aitem为生活中任何可能触摸到的物件，他们都会成为孩子表达的对象。55C应该是孩子对妈妈的请求，开始表达他的心理需要了。56Brecognizable“可以辨认的”，符合大意。57Aseek“寻找、找寻”，孩子的眼神寻找我的眼
63、神，开始会交流了。58C妈妈一直很爱孩子，skyler当然是很舒适地坐在妈妈的两膝之间。59B从妈妈的爱可以看出，妈妈一直把最好的、孩子最喜爱的奉献给他。60D孩子头向后靠的目的是想看见妈妈，和妈妈说话。61is(be full of为固定短语)，主语为单数，句子是现在时。62ruling(for是介词，后面只能接动名词)。63our(make ones efforts to do sth.)努力/尝试去做某事。64meaningful(make+O+OC结构)，形容词作宾补。65who非限制性定语从句，对my cousin进行解释。66confusedsb. be confused“对模糊不
64、清”。67to comeitsadj. for sb to do sth.句型，It为形式主语，to do sth为真正主语。68andtold后紧接两个并列的宾语从句。69was admittedsb. be admitted to sth.“某人被录取、录用”，为固定词组。70Inin conclusion固定词组，“最后”，一般用于讲话的结束语。短文改错71enter后去掉into，因为enter是及物动词。72lielyingsee sb doing sth，看见某人正在做某事，强调当时的状态。73ofwithfill sth with sth“用装满”为固定搭配。74energyen
65、ergeticlook为系动词，后应接adj，作表语。75thatwhether/if根据上、下文，应该是问他们是否能够养这只狗。76surprisedsurprise to ones surprise为固定词组，“令某人惊讶的是”。77member前加a，member为可数名词。78hadhas上下文时态应一致。79LookedLooking现在分词指主动与下句主语为主谓关系。80ourselvesus主语和宾语不是同一个人/物，不可用反身代词。书面表达Dear Li Hua,I hear that you are getting anxious about the coming colle
66、ge entrance examination (CEE). As your good friend, I want to offer you some advice, which I hope will be somewhat helpful, to you.You are not alone. To be frank, everyone tends to become a little nervous with the approach of CEE. However, if coped with properly, it can do good to you instead. Whats
67、 more, you must pay attention to the efficiency while making preparations. At the same time, do spare some time to relax yourself and never make yourself too exhausted. After all, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”, as the old saying goes.“A rainbow always appears after a storm.” You are bound to make it as long as you keep confident and optimistic.All the best!Yours,Xiaoming
