50、合语境。6A.suddenlyBslowlyCoccasionallyDrandomly答案：B 根据上文中的“stuck a needle into a balloon”并结合常识可知，用针扎了气球后，气球会慢慢地变瘪，此处意在突出女儿逐渐变得失落。slowly“慢慢地”，符合语境。occasionally“偶尔”；randomly“任意地”。7A.expectationBrangeCmeasurementDplanning答案：B in ones price range“在某人的价格承受范围以内”。expectation“期望，期待”；measurement“测量，度量”；planning
51、“计划”。作者真的希望自己用了AND这个词，对女儿说：“亲爱的，我很高兴你在你的价格承受范围内找到了一所房子，而且我为你感到高兴。”8A.admitBrecallCdoubtDpromise答案：C 此处指作者对自己的说话方式产生了怀疑，doubt“怀疑”，符合语境。admit“承认”；recall“回忆起”；promise“承诺”。9A.emotionsBstrugglesCburdensDdestinations答案：A 作者意识到换种说话方式，女儿的情绪可能就不会改变。emotion“情感；情绪”，符合语境。10A.come overBgone offCbrought aboutDhun

53、将避免(prevent)自己使用BUT这个词。13A.improveBoverlookCmonitorDmanage答案：D 作者认为自己能做到。improve“提高，改善”；overlook“忽略，不予理会”；monitor“监视，检查”；manage“完成(困难的事)，应付(困难局面等)”。14A.give upBkeep upCturn upDmess up答案：D 如果作者搞砸了，作者会再次进行尝试。mess up“把弄糟；胡乱地做”，符合语境。give up“放弃”；keep up“继续”；turn up“出现，露面”。15A.removeBdismissCseparateDdist
54、inguish答案：A 作者将会一次又一次地尝试把这个“淘气的”小单词从她的词汇表中移出去。remove“移开，拿开，去掉”；dismiss“解雇；摒除(思想、感情等)”；separate“使分开，分离”；distinguish“区分，辨别”。.七选五(2020湖北省龙泉中学、宜昌一中高三联考)Customs on either side of the AtlanticWe all know that Britain and the US are two countries connected by a common language.But in fact,1 ，as BBC did in

60、all know that Britain and the US are two countries connected by a common language.But in fact,1 ，as BBC did in a recent story called 8 Situations When Britons Behave Differently From Americans.”可知，众所周知，英国与美国因为使用同一种语言而有诸多相似之处。近日，BBC就刊登了一篇文章，题为“八种情境：英美人的不同表现”。所以设空处既要与上文为转折关系，又要承接下文。故C选项“探寻英美文化间的差异更加有趣
61、”切题。故选C项。2E 由“chances are that the victim will say sorry before the other can make his or her own apology”可知，他们则很可能会在撞人者开口道歉之前先说“对不起”。所以设空处是条件状语从句，说明如果被撞的碰巧是英国人，他们则很可能会在撞人者开口道歉之前先说“对不起”。故E选项“如果被撞的碰巧是英国人”切题。故选E项。3A由“Britons dont all change into evening dress for supper like what you may have seen in
62、popular TV shows like Downton Abbey.But they do tend to make an effort when going out for dinner somewhere nice.Americans,however,will probably wear a casual shirt to a fancy eatery.”可知，享用晚餐时，英国人虽然不会像热门英剧唐顿庄园中那样人人身着晚礼服，但在去高级餐厅就餐时也会在穿着上颇下一番功夫。而美国人则可能穿一件休闲衬衫就出入高级餐馆。所以本段主要在说晚宴穿什么，也就是设空处本段的标题所要说明的内容。故A选
63、项“晚宴穿什么”切题。故选A项。4F 由“When dining out at a restaurant,4 .They think the food is somehow tainted once theyve poked at it with a knife and fork.”可知，外出就餐时，因为在他们看来食物一旦被刀叉“染指”后便被“玷污”了。所以设空处要补充出主句，也要承接下文。故F选项“英国人不会将剩饭剩菜打包带走”切题。故选F项。5D 英国人在告诉司机目的地之后就会秉承全程零交流的原则，由“Even if theyre being taken in a roundabout w
64、ay”可知，此处指甚至在看见司机绕路时英国人的表现会怎样。故D选项“他们也会一言不发”切题。故选D项。.读后续写阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。A man once said how useless it was to put advertisements in the newspapers.“Last week，”he said,“my umbrella was stolen from a London church.As it was a present,I spent twice its worth on adverti

68、wing morning,In the view of the businessman,the man who lost the umbrella was honestenough to write his advertisement.写前导读：本文是一篇记叙文。一个男人在教堂里丢了一把伞，登了广告仍没找到。一个商人又登了不同的广告语，出现了截然不同的结果。精彩范文This appeared in the paper,and on the following morning,the man was astonished when he opened the front door.In the
69、doorway lay at least twelve umbrellas of all sizes and colours that had been thrown in,and his own was among them.Many of them had notes fastened to them saying that they had been taken just by mistake,and begging the loser not to say anything about the matter.In the view of the businessman,the man
70、who lost the umbrella was honestenough to write his advertisement.“The gentleman who finds it will receive ten shillings on leaving it at No.10 Broad Street.”Ten shillings meant almost nothing and the finder of the umbrella was at the risk of being recognised.No wonder it was useless to put such an advertisement in the newspapers.He believed that the way an advertisement was expressed was very important.本课结束
