29、们所知道的却更少，表现得也较不成熟。2B考查固定搭配。be in the possession of sb.被某人拥有； value用作动词， 当 “估价”讲， 后接“介词at金钱”， 意思为 “估价为”。3D考查动词辨析。distribute意为“分发，分配，分送”；advocate倡导；separate分离；divide分开。句意：救援机构将给几个国家发放食物。4B考查possession和charge的用法。A和C的逻辑主语是人，分别表示“某人占有”和“某人负责(某事)”，含有主动意义；而B和D的逻辑主语是物，分别表示“被某人所占有”和“由某人负责”，具有被动意义。本句的意思是：这所房子
30、以前是我的财产，现在归一位老太太拥有。应该选B。5D考查动词短语辨析。hand in表示“上交”；hand on表示“把传下去”；hand out表示“分发”；hand over表示“移交”。根据语境，应该是“移交钥匙”，故应选D。6C考查动词的时态。by the time引导时间状语从句，意为“到时为止”。其主句的谓语动词如果是延续性动词，多用完成时。因从句的时态是过去时，所以主句用过去完成时。7C动名词短语作主语， 答语后面省略了made Celia so happy。8C句意为：房子漏水了，你什么时候让人修？此题用get sth. done结构，表示“使某事被做(让别人做)”。9B第一个
31、空用that引导定语从句修饰先行词something；第二个空用that与句首的Was it构成强调句型。10B考查时态。由句意知，Tina现在已走，刚才在这里等你，因此用一般过去时。.本文叙述作者3岁的小女儿用她妈妈的化妆品想把自己打扮成一个小天使的故事，阐释家长应该如何教育孩子的道理。11C根据后面的 to be having a good time 这个不定式的进行时只有 appear 和 pretend 这两个词能使用，再根据上下语境是“看起来”玩得很开心，而不是“假装”。12B根据后面的“喊”和“没有回声”来判断答案，quiet是“寂静、没有声音”之意，而不能选calm(沉着、冷静)
32、。13D因为作者喊他女儿，没有听到应声，所以又“重复”了他的问题。14A从前面的动作，“起身、跑出书房”，接着“进入”起居室。into是动态介词，此处相当于and went into。15B从前面的动词 follow, watch 以及 as her little behind 判断，他女儿看到他，赶紧“拐入”洗澡间。16C此处 corner 用作动词，表示“把难住、走投无路”，此处指堵住去路。17D根据下一句的意思，他女儿没有听他的话，适口。18A因为她是一个三岁的小女孩，她用她妈妈的唇膏打扮自己，怕爸爸骂她，所以“慢慢地”转到她爸爸跟前。19D表示满脸都被唇膏“覆盖(涂)”。20A正在作者
33、准备训斥自己的女儿的时候，他想起了自己小的时候被训斥的话语，每一句话都似乎回想在耳际。every表示“每一个，每一句”。21A根据前面的 many times 来判断，作者被训斥了很多次了，即“告诉过你多少次了”。22D对于作者来说，按照传统的做法，现在对待自己的女儿，好像就是挑选一下已经被说过很多遍的“老话”而已。23D根据前后两个动作的顺序，在放松“之前”，我看了看她毛衣上的“字”。24B根据其后的动作back up into her tearful eyes，所以此时的动作就应该是look down，即“往下看”。25B后面的 IM A PERFECT LITTLE ANGEL! 这些都
34、是大写的“字母”。26B当作者看到他女儿写在毛衣上的字，他感到他看到的不是一个不听话的坏女孩，而是一个美丽的小天使。27A因为前半句说作者看到的不是一个不听话的坏女孩，再从毛衣上的字来看，所以认为她是一个有“价值”的小天使。28C根据前文，作者是差点“伤害(毁坏)”了他女儿那颗天真、甜美的心。29C根据前文的描述，看见女儿用妻子的唇膏在脸上乱涂乱画，女儿好像是一个不听话的孩子，但是当看见她在毛衣上“我是一个完美的小天使”时，作者看到的是女儿的可爱和特别，故要拍下来，让妈妈看看女儿是多么的特别。30D后面的 chance 表示机会，根据句意应该选 miss。.A这是一篇充满爱意的生活故事。作者年
35、轻的时候就希望拥有一个花园，可是孩子一个接一个地来到人间，生活的拮据与时间的紧迫使她无暇实现自己的梦想。孩子们长大了，有了各自的生活，在一个母亲节，他们相约回到母亲身边，为她开垦了一个大花园，自此，作者徜徉于孩子们的爱的花园里。31D推理判断题。从文章可知，不谙世事的孩子们吵闹着要买很贵的东西，此时母亲就说，“你们看见过长钱的树吗？要知道，树上不会长钱的。”显然作者要告诉孩子们的是生活拮据，赚钱不容易，别想着买那些昂贵的东西。32A主旨大意题。贯穿全文的主线是“花园”，年轻时的梦想由于家庭生活的艰难而搁浅，而孩子们最终帮助“我”实现了这一梦想。33B猜测词义题。语境说，整理花园用钱，而多年来的
36、拮据生活，已经让作者习惯了手头紧巴巴的生活，因此该词的含义应该是B，a tight budget表示“财政紧张，生活拮据”。34C推理判断题。倒数第三段作者说，徜徉于孩子们为她开垦的这片花园，“我不再像原来那么想念我的孩子们，他们仿佛就在花园里，和我一起。”这与C项陈述相符：“我”独自一人生活在这里，但“我”不觉得孤独。B和平相处了40年的两兄弟，发生冲突之后，哥哥请来木匠为他打一堵篱笆墙，不愿再看弟弟一眼。而热心肠的木匠却在弟弟挖的壕沟上为他们搭建了一座小桥，帮助两兄弟握手言和，重归于好。35B细节理解题。由第一段中“It was the first serious onepeacefully side by side.”可知两兄弟发生冲突之前在相邻的两农场里相安无事地生活着，因此正确答案为B。36D推理判断题。通过对故事情节的了解，可知木匠是一个乐于助人的人。37A主旨大意题。A Fine Piece of Work指的是木匠搭建的那座小桥，意指沟通心灵的桥梁。38C细节理解题。A、B、D项内容均与文章内容不符，从文章最后一段可知C为正确答案。
