Trust D .Life完形填空15 CDBCD610 AABDB1115 CACDB1620 ACABD1. C seat 解析:关键名词就在后面waiting room。这个词break有可能选,但是break之前一定要很紧张才行,这里老汉没有紧张。高考资源网2. D telling 解析:护士对一
20、个老汉能做的动作,最符合逻辑的是telling,告诉。 promising 表示许诺,有可能选,再看宾语就可以排除,at least 40 minutes 没有一个承诺是这样子的,我保证你至少要等四十分钟,不是承诺这是诅咒。3. B before解析:在医生诊断他之前要等待。4. C look at 解析:看动作的发出者,一个焦急的老汉会做的动作,肯定是look at 看手表这个选项。 5. D not 解析:根据上下文,这里不需要副词来表示程度,只是肯定和否定的含义。6. A turn up 解析:词组,表示“出现”的意思。这里要注意破折号表示解释说明,我不是很忙,因为我的病人在appoin
21、ted hour 里面没有出现。appoint 这个词除了任命的意思,还有约时间的意思。B. show off 是“炫耀”的意思。7. A needed 解析:考察动词搭配,用排除法。B forget是“忘记”,他忘记了回去吃饭这样的事情,不算一个appointment。C agree to do是“同意做某件事情”,在文中没人提要求,所以不存在同意不同意。D happen to do“碰巧做某事”。 8. B wife高考资源网解析:名词找重复,这里重复再后面,刚做的时候放一放,第五段的第一句出现了marriage,表示他们俩曾经有一段,那么选老婆这个选项。9. D there解析:she
22、had been there 表示的是她已经在那个nursing home 里面有一段时间了,有难度,其他几个选项的中文意思比较模棱两可, A. late 要迟到的是老头子,不是他老婆。 B. well 她老婆身体很健康。 C.老婆曾经在他身边。10. B worried解析:根据词义辨析。lonely“孤独的”,worried 是“焦虑的,担心的”的意思,doubtful“怀疑的”,hungry“饥饿的”。11. C no longer解析:结合后文,49空那句话给出了很好的对应。neither 表示否定2者。12. A recognize解析:之前见过,现在认不出来。13. C surpr
23、ised 解析:表示惊讶。选项moved干扰度比较大,需要对全文的态度进行把握,文中进行到这里并没有很明显的作者的正面态度出现,证据就在于他的那个问句:你知道她不认识你,还是每天早上要去陪她?这句话显然不是一个正面态度的体现,而真正的态度转正的地方在倒数第二段,他忍住泪水,所以这里不能选moved这个表示正面态度的词语。14. D still解析:表示状态的持续,B. then 表示时间先后,C. thus 表示因果。高考资源网15. B tear解析:关键在前面的动词hold back忍住,忍回去。忍回去的只有泪水。16. A realize解析:realize表示主观意识到。17. C a
24、cceptance解析:真爱就是对于所有一切的接受。本题点明了文章的主旨,老人不管妻子患病与否都始终不离不弃,所以是接受了一切,无论好坏。18. A necessarily 解析:这个词的意思是必要地,这句话的意思是最幸福的人并不一定是一个拥有所有最好东西的人。19. B make解析:考查动词和名词的搭配, make the best of充分利用,就是说他们可以没有最好的东西,但是他们充分利用了他们所拥有的东西。C选项favor 不能选,因为表示的意思是偏好,在这里没有比较爱人认得你还是不认得你,所以不选。20. D Life解析:生活并不是要经历暴风雨,而是要学会苦中作乐。阅读理解Ear
