44、生的心灵。故选D。32C句意:“我”想和大家分享一个故事。故选C。33C句意:其中我最难忘的是一个五岁的孩子。memorable意为“难忘的,值得纪念的”。故选C。34B联系上文“who had difficulty walking”可知,这个小女孩是坐在我的大腿上的。故选B。35D从下文“clap with me”可知,此处指学生拍两次手。故选D。36BVanessa喜欢把她的手和“我”的手放在一起,然后和“我”一起拍手。故选B。37B根据上文中的“could not speak”可知,但她从来不说也不唱一个字。故选B。38Alook 意为“看”; see 意为“看见”; glare意为 “
45、瞪眼”;notice 意为“注意”。Vanessa转过身,直视着我的眼睛。look sb. in the eye 意为“直视某人的眼睛”。故选A。39D根据句意可知,因吃惊忘了呼吸,忘了心跳,但并不是不呼吸,心不跳了,而是最终回过神来了,所以不能用slowly,而用finally。故选D。40C句意:“我”看着那个助理教师,发现她也惊讶得说不出话来了。speechless 意为“(尤指气得或惊讶得)说不出话的”。故选C。41B句意:她面带微笑,向“我”招手。故选B。42A句意:模仿“我们”在音乐课上表演了很多次的那首歌。故选A。43B句意:每个孩子都有学习和成长的能力。故选B。44A句意:得靠

50、力的一个有用的方法。46useful考查形容词。way是名词,需要形容词来修饰。47less考查形容词比较级。根据上文“It is shorter ”以及并列连词 “and” 可知,此处用比较级,and 连接并列成分,故用little 的比较级less。48ourselves考查代词。express oneself意为“表达自我”。49finding考查非谓语动词。have trouble (in) doing sth. 意为“做某事有困难”。50are考查主谓一致。 there be句型中谓语动词单复数遵循就近原则,由于“many idiomatic ways”是复数形式,因此谓语动词用复数
51、形式。51it考查形式主语。it is hard for sb. to do sth.意为“对某人来说做某事很困难”。52properly考查副词。副词修饰动词短语put them into English。53that考查表语从句。be 动词后加从句为表语从句,此处从句不缺少成分,句意完整,应使用连接词 that。54in考查介词。in English意为“用英语”。55skills考查名词。skill为可数名词,前面没有冠词,故用其复数形式。第五部分写作(满分25分)第一节单词拼写(共5小题;每小题1分,满分5分)56He suggested a new _(治疗) in the conf
