5、ving finishedCfinished Dhaving finished答案B考查非谓语动词。动词finish的逻辑主语是we，它是动作的执行者，所以应用主动形式，排除选项A、C两项，再依据句中的turned down the offer可知，该处应指工作没有完成，所以答案为B项。分词短语在此作状语，相当于状语从句because we hadnt finished our work。7We must urge that representatives_from the various fields in the city.Aselect Bbe selectedCare selected

9、 their childrens future.Athat Bhow Csuch Dso答案B首先判断这是个宾语从句， C和 D不能引导，应当排除；that引导宾语从句没有任何意思，不作任何句子成分，而此处要修饰作表语的形容词 important，所以选 how。13I think Father would like to know_Ive been up to so far，so I decide to send him a quick note.Awhich Bwhy Cwhat Dhow答案C因为在动词 (know) 后作宾语的是宾语从句，又因为be up tobe busy with(

17、议文，作者在丈夫突然去世正悲伤的时候，收到朋友的信。朋友也有着丧夫的遭遇，当时得到了作者妈妈的安慰，现在朋友又把作者妈妈安慰自己的话传给了她。16A.received BwroteCsent Dshowed答案A根据下文的letters, cards, flowers, calls, and visits可知是作者的丈夫突然去世后，她收到了这些表示哀悼的东西。receive“收到”，符合文意。17A.disappointment BreliefCgrief Dregret答案Ctake a bad knock意为“受到经济或感情上的严重打击”。她丈夫去世，她应该是“悲痛”(grief)。18A
18、.ask BexperienceCexplain Dunderstand答案D从the whys and hows可知此处应该是understand，意思是作者想弄明白这些不幸的事情为什么，怎么会发生在自己家。19A.answers BskillsCexplanation Dinformation答案A结合上一句想弄明白“问题”，这里应该是问题的答案answers。作者得不到答案，只有悲伤。20A.impressed BtouchedCappreciated Daffected答案B由下文和deeply可知，是有一封短信打动了作者，所以用touch表示“打动”。impress“使有印象，影响”
19、，appreciate“欣赏，赞赏”，affect“影响”，这三项都不符合语境。21A.grade BclassCsense Dweek答案A从through high school可知是在上学时的朋友，用grade表示“年级”。这里指从六年级开始到高中一直是好朋友。22A.marriage BgraduationCquarrel Dsettlement答案B句中谓语动词drifted表示“漂流，漂泊”，说明两人在“毕业”(graduation)以后分开了，去了不同的地方。23A.Instead BThereforeCBut DHowever答案C通过语境可以判断，该处缺少表转折关系的连词，A
20、、B意思不符合语意，however常和逗号连用，故应选C项。24A.kept Blost Cgot Dengaged答案B由上文可知，这里应是“失去联系”，所以用lost和touch组成短语。25A.moving Breturning Cstaying Dleaving答案D此处是动词的ing形式作结果状语，leaving在此处意为“使处于某种状态”，符合上下文语境。26A.opportunities BresponsibilitiesCservices Dchances答案B从下文的finding a job and raising three young children可以判断，这些都是
21、她的责任，所以用responsibilities。27A.including Bas well asClike Dexcept for答案C她和Pete的关系就像我和Bob的关系一样。like作介词用表示“像一样”。including是“包括”的意思；as well as作介词时，含义是“还，也”；except for表示部分与整体的关系，表示“除了之外”，用于非同类事物的排除。28A.contacts BbackgroundsCinterests Drelationships答案D这里表示的是夫妻之间挚爱至深，用relationships。contact“接触”，background“背景”
22、，interest“兴趣”。29A.shared BcombinedCachieved Dremembered答案A根据上下文分析，此处表示她在信中把“我”妈妈对她做的一件事写出来与“我”分享，所以用share。30A.met BkissedChugged Dshook答案C此处的语境是作者的妈妈在安慰作者的朋友，所以用hug更合适。31A.after Baway Capart Dago答案D上文已提到妈妈很久以前就去世了，所以这里引用的也是妈妈很久以前说的话。32A.must Bshould Cwould Dcould答案D我感到我现在几乎能听到妈妈对我说话了，用could。33A.powe
23、rful Bserious Cbitter Dsincere答案Apowerful“强有力的，很有效的”，符合语境。34A.deliver Bpass Creturn Dremind答案B我的朋友将它珍藏了这么多年，此时又将它传递给我。pass sth on to sb“把某物传递给某人”，符合语境。35A.Unnecessary BPerfectCCurious DAbstract答案B作者赞赏、感叹妈妈说给朋友，朋友又传给自己的这句话。“I love you”是多么完美的语言。unnecessary“不必要的”，curious“好奇的”，abstract“抽象的”，都不符合语境。.阅读理解
24、I recently ran into a friend I hadnt seen for a long while.Our conversation was lively and full of news from both sides.Before we parted she said，“Youll have to drop in sometime.” I immediately sensed that if I simply “dropped in” I would take my friend by surprise，and I would be discouraged by the

30、议的文章。作者通过一个朋友说的“有空来串门”这句话，表达了自己对“串门(顺便拜访)”这种传统的怀念。由于时代变迁，人们现在越来越忙碌，这种传统已经渐渐消失。36The author thought his friends invitation“Youll have to drop in sometime”as_.Aa nice way of refusal Ban excuse of leavingCa kind of politeness Dan expression of surprise答案C推理判断题。根据文章第一段内容可知，“我”偶遇了一位朋友，在谈话结束快分开之际，朋友说：“有时间
31、你一定要来串门。”“我”立即意识到假如我真的顺便去拜访她的话，她一定会很吃惊，想象看到她站在门口问：“哦，嗯你怎么来了”的情形。“我”自己肯定也会很泄气。因此，作者朋友说这句话，只是为了表示礼貌，并不是真的想要邀请作者有时间去拜访她。37The underlined phrase “pop in” in the second paragraph means_.Amake many friends Bmake a special dateChave a good time Dpay a sudden visit答案D词义猜测题。根据第二段前两句内容可知，没有预料到的拜访会怎么样呢？在20世纪60
32、年代，看起来人们主要是亲戚，也有时候是朋友，串门是常事。因此，popping in指的就是dropin visit。38The woman from the neighborhood used to visit the authors home to_.Aseek comfort from my parents Bmeet new friendsClisten to my parents story Dtaste nice dishes答案A细节理解题。根据第二段第五句中的“The neighbor lady，a worrier，was unloading her sadness while
33、my mom quietly listened”可较容易排除B、C、D三项。39From the third paragraph of the passage，we can infer that_.Athe author misses the lost good days Bunexpected visitors are still welcome nowCmodern people prefer outdoor activities Dthere are more jobs for the housewives now答案A推理判断题。根据第三段作者分析的“串门”这种传统消失的原因及第二段作
34、者描述的在过去人们经常串门的场景可知，作者很怀念这种传统。40The author writes the passage intending to_.Aencourage people to be dropin visitorsBexplain how to deal with unexpected visitorsCshare his feelings about the dropin traditionDshow the importance of making friends答案C写作意图题。通读全文可知，作者通过对“串门”这种传统的描述，主要是为了表达自己对这种传统的怀念，C项与此最为相等 。- 8 - 版权所有高考资源网
