28、，猛烈地；eventually终于，最终；constantly不断地，时常地。2A考查动词辨析。由上文对父子两人关系的描述：violent fights以及最后一段中Andy has had nowith his mom and step dad since moving out可以看出，四个词中只有“beat(打)”符合语境。语境：16岁的Andy遭到了继父的殴打。3D考查动词辨析。此处是说Marianne意识到，要是不帮他，Andy就会变得脾气暴躁，可能会靠吸毒或酗酒寻求安慰。所以选realize，意为：意识到。insist坚持；fear担心，害怕；doubt怀疑。4C考查动词短语辨析。t

30、候Andy可能对我来说是一个威胁，但是当想到他将面对的未来(就是上文所说的became an angry person whodrugs and alcohol for comfort.)8C考查形容词辨析。由下文的比喻was like entering a foreign country可知，Andy适应新环境是不容易的，来到新家就像来到了一个陌生的国度一样(难以适应)。9B考查名词辨析。这里指的是Andy对于打架原因的解释，所以用explanation，意为：解释。句意：Marianne平静地问他为什么(打架)，并倾听了他的解释。A项excuse有一定的干扰性，这里是在进行教育，Andy也
31、接受了这份教育，所以解释的是原因而不是借口。remark 评价；statement陈述。10C考查名词辨析。上一段针对的是打架(fight)事件，处理得很成功，Andy决心I didnt want to let her down，所以以后就再也没有打过架，并于2019年高中毕业。11D考查动词辨析。graduate from high school意为：高中毕业。succeed成功；flee和escape意为：逃跑。12C考查副词辨析。语境：如果没有和Naslunds一家一起生活，我很有可能就辍学了。所以选probably，意思是：极有可能地。unlikely不太可能；usually通常；en

34、可知他是在1975年到美国的，所以答案选B项。19D推理判断题。根据第三段的The report of his story moved可以推断是他的身残志坚首次引起美国人民对他的广泛关注，故答案为D项。注意题干说的是美国人民而不是全世界，所以不能选C项。20A推理判断题。根据第三段的It wasnt easy， Tom rebuilt his hope for life.可知，Tom在身残后曾经灰心过，但是通过努力和坚强的意志，重获生活的希望，因此答案为A项。B本文主要讲述了一个叫阿瑟的人通过拯救蝴蝶，同时拯救了自己的故事。21A细节理解题。根据第二段可知阿瑟曾因伤人入狱。22C细节理解题。根据第四段及第六段的第一、二句话得知，几周后阿瑟收到了教授的电话，告诉他有一种蝴蝶需要他的帮助，这就是他如何遇到这种蝴蝶的。23B细节理解题。根据文章最后一段可知阿瑟自此遵守了诺言，再也没有入狱，因此说蝴蝶改变了他的生活，故选B。24D词义猜测题。根据上下文语境得知。25B主旨大意题。文章整体上讲述的是阿瑟从没有养蝴蝶时的糟糕生活到养蝴蝶后的转变，是蝴蝶拯救了他。第 8 页
