24、skills.CAIDS has made many children parentless.DHelping others brings changes in a person.参考答案.1.C考查非谓语动词。句意：小男孩被单独留在一个大房子里，他不得不学着独立生存。leave和the little boy之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词。2D考查名词辨析。句意：那对夫妇看着孔明灯越飞越高，直到看不见。词组lose sight of意思是“消失在视野之外，看不见”。3B句意：Laura表情紧张，好像遇到外星生物一样。even if即使，尽管；as if好像；so that以便；now t
25、hat既然。根据题意可知B项正确。4C句意：我确信那里的自然之美会给你留下美好的印象。nature作“大自然”讲为不可数名词，单独使用时，前面不用冠词；短语make an impression on给留下印象。故选C项。5C第一空用过去时表示与现在事实相反的虚拟语气；第二空为现在分词作the door的定语，the door与lead为逻辑上的主动关系。6B考查动词辨析。这里指的是小偷被淹没在人群之中，我们看不到他了。所以用swallow，意思是“淹没，吞没”。drown淹死， 淹没(声音等)；catch抓住；stop阻止。7B考查形容词词义辨析。句意：尽管学生们面临巨大的压力，他们仍然很乐观
26、，努力实现自己的目标。conscious意为“有意识的”；optimistic意为“乐观的”；influential意为“有很大影响的”；competitive意为“竞争的”。根据句意可知B项正确。8B考查动词词义辨析。句意：如果客户对于接受的服务感到不满意而要换银行的话，银行必须为这些客户填写表格。transfer意为“转移，调任”；switch意为“改变，交换”；appeal意为“呼吁，有吸引力”；resolve意为“解决，分解”。根据句意可知B项正确。9C考查介词短语。in search of“搜寻，寻找”；in place of“代替”；for lack of“由于缺乏”； for f
27、ear of“因为害怕”。在大城市建高楼是由于缺乏空间，故选C。10A考查动词短语辨析。take up占据； make up编造； save up贮存；put up建造。句意：海伦总是帮助她妈妈，尽管上学占用了她一天的大部分时间。11C考查动词辨析。句意：一组护士协助医生给在地震中受伤的那个男孩做手术。assist sb.in doing sth.协助某人做某事。12D考查形容词辨析。constant连续发生的；不断的；重复的。句意：汤姆在考试失败后害怕回家，因为父母无休止的不满快使他发疯了。actual 实际的； gradual 逐渐的； efficient 高效的。13Astrike与hi
28、t都直接接宾语，不需用介词；occur需要与to连用。句意：当我看到公路上汽车相撞时，恐惧感涌上我的心头。flash在此意为“突然想到，猛然想起”。14D考查形容词的用法。形容词nervous and embarrassed强调状态，是对he的情况进行补充说明。 15C考查固定词组。speed up加速；fasten up扣上；rise up上升；go up上升。结合句意可知C正确。句意：为了满足需求，他们不得不加快生产。 .本文为记叙文。故事发生在1989年美国大地震中，一个父亲靠一个诺言救出了被困在废墟下长达38个小时的儿子。16Bonly to do sth表示“结果却，不料”，作结果状
29、语，表示该结果在主语的预料之外。17. A这四个选项都是英语习语，根据本段第一句an 8.2 earthquake almost flattened America判断，选择A项。18D句意：他想起了他曾对儿子许下的诺言memorize是“背诵，熟记”的意思，不合题意。19A从结构上分析，该句是省略了谓语动词的省略句，省略谓语之后，意义仍然清楚；如不省略动词，则谓语使用第三人称单数happens。从意义上分析，可排除C、D两项。20A这几个动词都可以表示“流泪”这个意义，但句式搭配不同，其表现形式分别为Tears fill his eyes. Tears come into his eyes.
30、 He bursts into tears.21B句意：他不停地想着他对儿子许下的诺言。22Bdig掘(土)，挖；dig through在里挖掘；dig out 发掘出；dig into 钻研。由句意可知选B。23D从结构上分析，应该用现在分词作伴随状语。24Ccome on表示劝说、鼓励，意为“振作点”。25Done line意为“一句话(台词)”。A项中的one word干扰性较大，它表示“一个词”。26Afor oneself为自己；by oneself单独地，独自；of oneself自行地，自动地；to oneself独享，独自拥有。27Calive作表语，其含义与dead相对应。2
31、8Dpull back意为“使后退”，这里指把一块大石头推开。29B注意这四个词的区别：sound (各种)声音；voice (人们说话的)嗓音；noise (不悦耳的)噪音；tone (人们说话的)语气，语调。30B这是表示将来的虚拟语气，主句中用“would动词原形”，从下文中也能找到类似的句子。31A句意： 你来救我时，他们也会得救。32C此题包含一个固定句型：There areleft 还有剩余下来。33D句意：房屋倒塌时，形成了三角空隙。而make room与 make space 意为“(有意识地)为腾出空间”。34Ccome out出来。35A从上下文意义判断，此句为原因状语从句
32、。.本文主要介绍了Alice为孤儿所做的很多好事。从这些经历中，她明白了“赠人玫瑰，手有余香”的道理。36A细节理解题。根据第一段的最后一句“Their classroom for daily lessons was an open space in the bush.”可知，一年多以前，孤儿们没有教室，只能在露天的灌木丛中的空地上上课。37D推理判断题。根据第二段第二句中的“Another 175 village children eat there daily, with the adults coming in to learn English”可知，Alice为孤儿们建的房子对孩子和成
33、年人都有帮助。38C细节理解题。根据第五段中的“The family had already helped Alice raise 1，800 to assist the orphans.After they received Alices call, they threw themselves into raising another 6，000, organising theatre trips and special parties and dinners.”可知答案。39D推理判断题。根据最后一段的第二句“The orphans think theyre gaining from me, but when I see their smile, it transforms me，she says.”可知，Alice认为，帮助别人的同时也给自己带来了很大的改变，即D项正确。
