26、故事,赢得了大家的掌声。1A考查动词辨析。句意:每个人都有一些特别的东西,一些贵重的东西。此空格处单词与下段首句“Deng had _2_.”中的had呼应。故选A项。2B考查不定代词。句意:Deng什么都没有。这句话与上文中“Everyone _1_ something special, something expensive(每个人都有一些特别的东西,一些贵重的东西)”形成对比,强调Deng一无所有。并且由下句“His family had lost everything (他的家庭失去了一切)”可知,Deng一无所有。故选B项。3A考查形容词辨析。句意:Deng害怕告诉任何人这个事实。由
27、下句“He didnt want anyone to laugh at him(他不想别人嘲笑他)”可知,他害怕告诉别人这个事实。故选A项。4D考查副词。句意:然而,现在每个人都会知道这件事。根据上下文逻辑关系,Deng一无所有,害怕别人知道这件事,而老师却让他们谈论自己最宝贵的财富,这次无法避免让别人知道Deng的情况。这个结果与他的期望是相反的,所以上下句之间是转折关系。故选D项。5C考查动词辨析。句意:他也许可以装病。但是他知道他的妈妈是不允许他这样做的。由下句“She would make him go to school(她会让他去学校的)”可知,他妈妈是不允许他装病的。故选C项。6

They thought he was happy at school(他的父母以他为傲。他们认为他在学校很开心)”可知,他也不想让父母失望。空格处单词与上文中的proud形成反义呼应。故选A项。7A考查副词。句意:毫无疑问,他会将他的金表借给Deng一天。由下句“He was always pleased when Deng cleared his snow or
29、went to the store for him(每次当Deng清扫他的积雪,或去店里找他的时候,他都很开心)”可推知,毫无疑问,Mr.Petrovski会将他的金表借给Deng。故选A项。8B考查动词辨析。句意:他可以假装这个表是他的。此空格处单词与上文“He pretended his family was rich(他假装他的家庭是富裕的)”中的pretended呼应。故选B项。9D考查动词短语。句意:Deng在表的背面发现一些字。几乎都要磨损掉了。Agiven away赠送,捐赠;Bthrown away扔了;Chidden away深深隐藏;Dworn away(使) 磨损。由下句
30、“He looked closely. There was one word friendship(他拿近了仔细看。上面写着朋友)”可知,表上的字被磨损得不清晰了。故选D项。10C考查名词辨析。句意:轮到Deng了。由本段内容是Deng演讲的内容可知,轮到Deng发言了。“its ones turn”为固定搭配,意为“轮到了”。故选C项。11A考查动词辨析。句意:因此我请求我的朋友借给了我这个。空格处单词与上文“he would lend it to Deng just for one day(他会借给Deng一天)”中的lend呼应。故选A项。12A考查状语从句的连词。句意:因为我是他的朋友

Therefore, l
36、ive 10_(you) life to the fullest and be happy.【语篇解读】这是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了一位中央电视台记者通过询问人们是否快乐,成功地在市民中引起了激烈的讨论,不同的人给出了不同的看法。在作者看来,幸福不仅仅是追求财富,而是欣赏生活中美好的事物。1asking考查现在分词。句意:讨论的内容是问人们是否快乐。由于空格前面有介词about,故需要用现在分词,充当其宾语,而该介宾结构又是前面is的表语。故填asking。2various考查形容词。句意:这个问题的答案是各异的。此处要用形容词various(各种各样的)作表语。故填various。3bef
37、ore考查连词。句意:虽然人们觉得答案很好笑,但没过多久,他们就开始弄清楚了快乐的真正含义。考查固定句型it did not take long before(没过多久就)。故填before。4are affected考查时态和语态。句意:可以肯定的是,人们对快乐的看法很大程度上受他们自己的生活经历影响。根据句意可知,主语“peoples views”和动词affect之间是被动关系,要用被动语态be done;而此处说的又是客观现实,所以用一般现在时态的被动语态;主语是复数形式。故填are affected。5a考查冠词。句意:不幸的是,太多的人将富有视为快乐,而且没有迹象表明自愿受财富支配
38、的人数有所减少。此处抽象名词decrease(下降)具体化,用作可数名词,加不定冠词a,构成短语“no sign of a decrease”,表示“没有一种下降的迹象”。故填a。6to make考查不定式。此处不定式to make在定语从句“whose intention is _6_ (make) big money(人们的打算是去赚大钱)”中作表语,因为它在此处指的是主语intention “打算,意图”,是指没有发生的事情,所以用不定式作表语表示未发生的事情。故填to make。7where考查连接副词。句意:相信这就是快乐之所在。分析句式可知,此处是表语从句,从句中lie是不及物动词
39、,并不缺宾语,又表示“所在的地方”,所以用连接副词where作状语。故填where。8are考查主谓一致。句意:有些人渴望继承父母的财产,尤其是那些被认为是富二代的人。所填词在从句中作谓语,根据句意是被动语态,又是讲客观现实,所以本句要用一般现在时态的被动语态,因为关系代词who指代的是先行词those(那些人),所以谓语要用复数形式。故填are。9illegally考查词性转化。句意:更糟糕的是,有些人宁愿违法以满足他们的经济欲望或非法地寻求他们的财富。此处用副词illegally(非法地)作状语,修饰谓语动词。故填illegally。10your考查代词。“live your life to the fullest(充分享受你的生活)”,其中life是名词。故填your。
