38、 car, no home and no job.”可知,他似乎没有车,没有家,也没有工作,所以他可能是个无家可归的人。因此画线词bum意为“无家可归的人”。2答案与解析:C细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I will never forget those simple three words that I heard from him Dont we all?”以及第三段中的“Although I had money and a place to sleep, I recognized that I needed help too.”可知,不是只有流浪汉需要帮助,就算“我”有钱花,有地方睡觉,“
39、我”也会需要帮助。他的话让“我”感触很深,于是“我”给了流浪汉足够多的钱。3答案与解析:D推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Even if its just a nice word, you can give it, which can be priceless, to other persons.”可知,哪怕是一句话,对其他人来说也可能是无价的。D项意为“一句有帮助的感人的话可以帮助别人”,符合题意。故D项正确。A项“不是每个人都需要帮助”与文意相反;本文主要谈论给予,并没有提及给予与接受同样重要,故B项“给予和接受一样重要”错误;C项“富人应该帮助穷人”本文未提及。4答案与解析:A细节理解题。根
40、据最后一段中的“Actually, it is a true gift and it is called Giving.”可知,流浪汉的一句话使作者明白了“给予”的真正含义。B【语篇解读】本文介绍了“Together We Bake”这个培训项目设立的初衷、现状及意义。5答案与解析:C细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Together We Bake teaches cooking and marketing skills to women who have spent time in prison so they can start new lives.”可知,“我们一起烘焙”这个项目是要教从监狱
41、里出来的女性如何烹饪和营销,以帮助她们开始新的生活。故选C项。6答案与解析:D细节理解题。根据第三段中的“This is our third class. We have eight women currently in this class. We have 16 women that graduated from the first two classes.”可知,现在是第三期的培训班,有8个人,前两期班中的16名女性已经毕业。也就是说,到目前为止,已经有24名女性参加了这个项目。故选D项。7答案与解析:B主旨大意题。本文介绍了“Together We Bake”这个项目,以及它深远的意义
42、(让出狱的人获得技能,开始新的生活,回归社会)。选项B中的“Baking”与这个项目相呼应,“for a New Life”体现了这个项目深远的意义。故选B项。8答案与解析:A推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But she found those meetings were very helpful. She learned how to open up, and was just trying to better herself.”可知,Jamie White觉得这个项目中的这些会议很有用,她学会了如何畅所欲言,正在让自己变得更好,故可推知她对这个项目很感激。grateful感激的;puzzl
43、ed困惑的;indifferent漠不关心的;concerned担心的。故选A项。.七选五【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了帮助孩子表达感激之情的方法。1答案与解析:C根据空前句“Start with a large piece of craft paper and draw a tree trunk.”可知,此处讲的应是画完树干之后的事情,C项中的it指的就是上文中的a tree trunk。故C项(然后让孩子们把它刷成或涂成棕色。)符合语境。2答案与解析:F根据本段的主题句“Go grocery shopping for a family in need.”及空前的“the larg
44、er the role they play. it will have on your kids.”可知,F项(如果你可以找到一个由你亲自送食品杂货的慈善机构,那样甚至会更好。)符合语境。3答案与解析:E根据本段的主题句“Express your thankfulness to the ones you love.”及空后的“Print the photos in a 57 size”可知,E项中的their loved ones和pictures分别对应the ones you love和the photos,故选E项。4答案与解析:G根据空后句“One child may want to
45、spend a day helping to clean up his favorite park while another might want to read books to nursing home residents.”可知,一个孩子可能想花一天时间帮忙打扫他最喜欢的公园,而另一个孩子有可能想去为那些居住在养老院的人读书。故G项(让每一个家庭成员轮流选择一个对他们来说有某种意义的活动。)符合语境。5答案与解析:B根据空后句“A regular gratitude practice is a wonderful habit to instill (逐渐灌输) into your ch
46、ildren.”可知,B项中的gratitude practice为词汇复现,故选B项。.语法填空【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一个男孩骑车追赶公交车送行人丢失的行李箱的故事。1答案与解析:being考查非谓语动词。句意:一天早上,我在公共汽车站等车,担心上学迟到。根据空前介词about可知,本空应用动名词作介词的宾语。2答案与解析:and考查并列连词。句意:有许多人在公共汽车站等车,他们中的一些人看起来很焦急和失望。根据句意可知,前后内容之间为并列关系,故本空应填并列连词and。3答案与解析:disappointed考查形容词。根据空前and可知,本空与形容词anxious共同作l
47、ooked的表语,故本空应填形容词,disappointed意为“感到失望的”,符合语境。4答案与解析:to考查介词。句意:我在挨着窗户的地方找了个位置,所以我可以清楚地看到人行道。next to意为“挨着”,故本空应填介词to。5答案与解析:caught考查时态。句意:一个骑自行车的男孩引起了我的注意。结合上下文的时态可知,本空应用一般过去时。6答案与解析:to stop考查非谓语动词。句意:我听见我后面的一位乘客对司机大喊,但他拒绝停车,直到我们到达下一站才能停。refuse to do sth.意为“拒绝做某事”,故本空应用不定式作宾语。7答案与解析:riding考查非谓语动词。句意:不
48、过,这个男孩仍然继续骑。keep doing sth.意为“继续做某事”,故本空应用动名词作宾语。8答案与解析:Did考查一般疑问句。句意:然后司机站起来询问:“有人在上一站丢失手提箱了吗?”根据问号及时态可知,本句缺少助动词did,注意首字母要大写。9答案与解析:me/mine考查代词。句意:车上的一个女人大喊:“天啊!那个人是我。/那个箱子是我的。It如果指前面的anyone的话,那么此空需要用I的宾格形式me,表示“在上一站丢失了手提箱的那个人是我”。而It如果指前面的suitcase的话,此空需要使用名词性物主代词mine,表示“那个箱子是我的”。10答案与解析:suddenly考查副词。句意:公共汽车上的每个人都开始谈论那个男孩所做的事,这群陌生人突然互相变得友好起来。修饰系动词became应用副词suddenly。
