19、avenly guides, Mother, otherwise, you will never find the way.”Smiling, I assured him that I wasnt worried. “Ill just watch for the hill with the privet hedge (女贞树篱),” I said. When his eyebrows came together in a questioning frown, I began to tell him a story about my father.Pop was raised in a fath
20、erless home at a time when government assistance was unheard of, so the family of five struggled mightily to survive. That Spartan (斯巴达人) upbringing caused my father to be extremely mean.When we children two older brothers and myself became aware that other children got spending money from their par
21、ents, we made the mistake of asking Pop for some. His face turned stone cold.“If youre old enough to ask, youre old enough to earn,” he rumbled. And so, when the need arose, we went to the neighborhood quickly seeking odd jobs or selling produce from the garden.His attitude didnt soften as we grew i

23、ice, “Thats what your legs are for!”So when I went away to college, I knew I was in for a long walk whenever I came home. The walk didnt bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didnt seem concerned about my safet
24、y. However, that feeling was canceled one spring evening.It had been a particularly difficult week at college. Tests and long hours in labs had left me exhausted. I longed for home and a soft bed. As other students were met at their stops, I gazed wistfully out the window. Finally, the bus stopped a
25、t my destination point, and I stepped off, lugging my suitcase to begin the long trek home.A row of privet hedge edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I was always relieved to see the hedge because it meant that
26、I was almost home.On that particular evening, the hedge had just come into view when a gentle rain began to fall. I stopped to put a book in my suitcase and when I stood up, I saw something gray skimming along the top of the hedge, moving toward the house. Upon closer observation, I realized it was
27、the top of my fathers head. Then I knew each time Id come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the threatening tears. He did care, after all.On later visits, that spot of gray became my beacon (指路明灯). I could hardly wait until I

33、how sympathy for him.DHe didnt want the children to discover his unique way of love.6Which do you think is the best title of the passage?AThe Privet Hedge BFathers SecretCMy Beacon Light DSense of Direction 答 案.1.选D句意:从某种意义上说,全球变暖是对人类的一个挑战,因此为了建立一个美好的世界我们必须战胜全球变暖。global warming为抽象名词,其前不用冠词;第二空表泛指,要用
34、不定冠词a,表示“一个美好的世界”。2选B句意:2012年诺贝尔文学奖的获得者莫言说他对得奖的期望不高。实际上,他认为他得奖的可能性不大。expectation“期望”,符合句意。assumption“假设,假定”;satisfaction“满足,满意”;impression“印象”。3选A句意:在那次重要的考试失败后,我熬过了一段时间的情绪调节期。现在感觉好多了。adjustment“(行为、思想的)调整,适应”,符合句意。commitment“承诺,保证”;occupation“占有,职业”;negotiation“谈判”。4选C此处表达的是与过去事实相反的假设,故条件状语从句和主句分别用
35、过去完成时和would have done形式,且根据语意可知应用被动语态形式,故答案为C。5选Aat no time意为“决不”,位于句首时构成部分倒装句。smoking为从句主语,和permit之间存在被动关系,故用被动语态。6选A句意:“汤姆最近玩太多电脑游戏了。”“是的,这也许是他期中考试失利的原因。”account for“是的说明(或原因)”,符合句意。answer for“对负责,因受到谴责”;ask for“要求,请求”;stand for“代表”。7选B句意:一些研究表明,失业工人应该从事他们能找到的任何工作,包括临时工作,以此作为找到高薪工作的桥梁。这里用take up表示
36、“开始从事”。build up“建立,加强”;make up“构成,组成”;bring up“提出,教育”。8选A句意:你知道他这样一个孤寡老人供五个孤儿上学的困难吗?have difficulty (in) doing sth.是固定句型,意为“做某事有困难”。本句是这个句型的变形,故选A。9选B由“我已经通过驾驶考试,将于六月份拿到驾照”可知,答话人应向他表示“祝贺”,故选B。A项表示“没问题”,通常用于表示同意;C项表示“祝你好运”;D项表示“我说不准”。10选C句意:我还没决定吃什么菜呢,更不必说买食物了。let alone“更别提;更不用说”,后跟与前面部分相对应的谓语或名词。这里前
37、面部分是完成时态,所以用过去分词。11选A句意:将军的建议是天黑之后,禁止士兵离开营地。第一个空所填词引导同位语从句,解释说明suggestion的内容,且引导词在从句中不作成分也无意义,故用that; suggestion后的名词性从句中应用虚拟语气形成“(should) do”,故选A。12选A句意:“你和同事们相处得好吗?”“哦,我和他们到现在都还不太熟悉。”familiar“熟悉的”,be familiar with“熟悉,通晓”,符合句意。aware“意识到的,知道的”,常和of搭配;similar“相似的”,和to搭配;known“已知的”。13选C句意:如果他今天出发的话,那么周
38、五之前就可以到那里了。由主句中的would及句意可知,这里是与将来事实相反的假设,从句中的谓语可以用were to do的形式,且从句可以省去if,并将were置于句首。14选C第一个空,定语从句的先行词为reason,关系词在从句中作状语,所以用why引导定语从句;第二空说明reason的内容,根据系动词is可看出这是表语从句,即句型The reason why . is that .15选Cbe accustomed to“习惯于”,其中to是介词,后应跟名词或动名词作宾语,故可排除A、B两项,由语境可知是习惯于接受小费,故选C。.语篇解读:本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过作者母亲提出的问题
39、告诉我们“人身体最重要的部分是肩膀。因为肩膀可以让别人趴在上面哭泣并且能给痛苦的人带去安慰与同情”。1选A句意:这么多年来,我猜我当时想的是正确答案。make a guess at .“对猜测”,是固定搭配,符合文意。故答案A符合文意。2选B句意:这么多年来,我猜我所想的是正确答案(answer)。与第二段第一句“Since making my first attempt, I had considered the correct answer carefully.”相呼应,故答案B符合文意。3选C句意:在我小的时候,我认为声音对我们人类很重要,因此(therefore)我说:“我的耳朵,妈妈

42、候,妈妈问我,“你有没有想出我经常问你的那个问题的答案什么是我们身体最重要的部分,我的孩子?”yet“已经”,常用于否定句或疑问句,表示到目前为止,符合文意。故答案D符合文意。already和still常用于肯定句;though“然而”,常用于句末,均不符合语境,故排除。12选B句意:她这个时候问我这个问题让我很吃惊(shock)。由语境可知,母亲在作者向爷爷最后告别时提这个问题,作者感觉有些意外。故答案B符合文意。13选A句意:她看出了我脸上的困惑(confusion),然后告诉我由语境和句意可知,作者对母亲在这个时候问这个问题感到吃惊和困惑,故答案A符合文意。14选C根据下文“But to

45、创造生活。父亲也是一个慈善的人,他用他独特的爱鼓舞着孩子们。1选B推理判断题。根据第四段第三句“If youre old enough to ask, youre old enough to earn, he rumbled.”和第四句“. we went to the neighborhood quickly seeking odd jobs or selling produce from the garden.”以及下文内容可知,Pop并未直接满足孩子的要求,而是鼓励他们通过自己的劳动满足自己的物质要求,故B项正确。根据第三段第一句“Pop was raised in a fatherle
46、ss home . the family of five struggled mightily to survive.”可知,A项错误;C、D两项文中未提及。根据题意可知,答案选B。2选A词义猜测题。根据第三段第一句“Pop was raised in a fatherless home at a time when government assistance was unheard of”可知,Pop生活在没有父亲的家庭里,那个时代没有政府援助,所以他们一家人努力的生活着。故A项正确。 3选C细节理解题。根据倒数第四段第四句中“. he had stood behind the hedge,
47、 watching, until he knew I had arrived safely.”以及倒数第三段第三句中“I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair”可知,Pop事实上是慈善的人。故C项正确。4选C推理判断题。根据倒数第四段第四句中“. each time Id come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely”可知,Pop实际上是慈善的人,并不是作者先前所认为的吝啬又无情。故C项正确。A、B、D三项是作者对Pop先前的印象,故排除。5选D推理判断题。根据倒数三、四段的内容可知,每次作者回家,Pop实际上都在等候,以确保作者安全,但又装作若无其事的样子坐在椅子上。由此可以判断,他不想让孩子们知道他独特的爱。故D项正确。6选B标题归纳题。通读全文可知,父亲对孩子是慈善的,他以独特的不表露出来的爱陪伴孩子成长。B项“爸爸的秘密”,切合文章主题。故B项正确。
