29、谐家庭的广告宣传。此处考查“祈使句and/or陈述句”句型，其中陈述句多用一般将来时。4B考查非谓语动词。逻辑主语the performance与intend是被动关系，故用过去分词。5B考查动词短语辨析。call for 需要。句意：良好的健康需要有规律的锻炼和好的生活习惯。 call on 号召； call up 使想起，打电话； call off 取消。6C考查动词短语辨析。句意：Jess的丈夫Bill死后，她很难过，她的朋友帮她度过了那糟糕的前几周。break through打破的僵局；break down分解；身体垮掉；get through完成；度过；get rid of摆脱。7C
30、考查形容词辨析。从下文“我在那儿可以很容易坐上车去上学”分析，楼区拐角处的车站是“方便的”，故C项最符合题意。8C考查副词词义辨析。句意：你不常去那家超市，对吗？对。我只是偶尔到那里，因为它离我家太远。故选C。9B考查名词辨析。high expectations 意为“很高的期望”。10D考查短语辨析。every now and then时而，有时。more or less 或多或少；step by step 逐步；by and by 逐渐。根据句意可知D项正确。11C考查固定句型。It wont be long before意为“不久就”。12A考查词组辨析。set out to do st
31、h开始做某事； set off出发，动身； set up建立，设立； set in以为背景。句意：救援人员一到事故现场就开始工作起来。13B考查交际英语。shall是情态动词，用于第一人称，表示征求对方的意见。根据句意“要不要我重复一下这个句子？”可知答案选B。14A考查短语辨析。由语境可知，“我”的手机已经坏了，所以要用out of order，意为“出故障，有毛病”。15B考查冠词的用法。第一空表示来自一个欧洲国家；第二空特指去教堂做礼拜的习惯；第三空考查短语attend church(去教堂做礼拜)。.窗口可以让我们看到外面的世界。我们的心灵之窗打开之后也能让我们在困境中看到生机。16B
32、考查逻辑与动词短语辨析。病人可以“坐起来”看窗外，另外第二段最后一句话也有提示。sit up意为“坐直，坐起来”； stand up意为“站起来”； set up意为“建立”； stay up意为“熬夜，不睡觉”。17A考查上下文逻辑关系理解。从后文on his back看出比尔每天只能“躺着”。18A考查词语搭配。service in the army意为“在部队服役”。说明两人聊起了在部队当兵的共同经历。19C考查上下文关系理解。约翰向病友比尔“描述”窗外的景象。下一段有description提示。explain意为“解释”； complain意为“抱怨”； introduce意为“介绍”
33、。20B考查词语搭配。broadened 和 brightened相配，通过约翰的描述，比尔的世界“更开阔了”。expand指的是“发展，壮大”； affect意为“受到坏的影响”； damage意为“毁掉”，均不合题意。21B考查上下文理解。从后文中Ducks played on the water可知应当是描写公园里有一个湖。22A考查while引导的句式。while作连词表示前者和后者相对应。湖面上鸭子在游玩，而孩子们在开模型船。23D考查上下文关系理解。in addition意为“另外”； in general意为“一般地，概括地”； in brief意为“简言之”； in detai
34、l意为“详细地”。24C考查动词的运用。比尔看不见窗外的景色，只能根据约翰的描述来想象，因此，应当用imagine一词。而不是“看见”、“记得”、“认出”。25B考查搭配。little by little意为“一点一点地”，修饰was recovering。 sooner or later意为“迟早”； up to now意为“直到现在”； one by one则是“一个接一个”。26B考查语境中的逻辑理解。ceiling是“天花板”的意思，句意为“比尔躺在床上盯着天花板。”think about意为“考虑”； stare at意为“盯着”； hold up意为“举起”； fix on意为“选
35、定，确定，集中”。27A考查上下文逻辑关系理解。后句表明约翰死了。所以应该选择“停止咳嗽”。28A考查形容词辨析。deadly意为“致命的，破坏性的，极其的”； dead意为“死的”； breathless意为“气喘吁吁的，喘不上气来”； aimless意为“漫无目的的”。句中修饰silence，应当用deadly，意为“非常肃静”。29D考查对主旨的理解。比尔一直渴望看到窗外的风景，因此要求转到约翰的床上去，所以他“充满希望地”支起胳膊看窗外。regretfully意为“后悔地，遗憾地”； fortunately意为“幸运地”； particularly意为“特别地”； hopefully意
36、为“充满希望地”。30A考查上下文逻辑关系理解和名词辨析。比尔满心期待，却没有看到约翰所描述的景象，应当是感到吃惊。to ones surprise意为“令人吃惊的是”； to ones delight意为“令人高兴的是”； to ones relief意为“令人释然的是”； to ones anger意为“令人愤怒的是”。31B考查上下文关系理解。a blank wall意为“一面空白的墙”，与前面约翰的描述反差很大，符合语境。simple意为“简单的”； colored意为“有颜色的”； painted意为“油漆的”。32C考查上下文关系和主旨的理解。从后文中we chose to exp
37、ress可以看出是“一种态度的选择”，应当用choice。consideration意为“考虑”； expression意为“表达，表情”； practice意为“练习，实践”。33A考查上下文关系理解和词语搭配。此句意为“对幸福的选择不像每天早上送到门口的礼物”。deliver意为“投递，送交”。34D考查短语辨析和语境中的逻辑理解。rather than连接两个部分，肯定前者，否定后者。句意为“是否幸福取决于一个人的态度而不是外界的因素”。better than意为“胜过，好于”； more than意为“超过”； other than意为“除了”。35C考查形容词辨析和主旨理解。只要我们
38、选择希望，生活应该是“充满生机和活力的”。 friendly，yearly，likely均为形容词，词意分别为“友好的”、“年度的”、“可能的”，词义均不恰当。.研究发现，有三分之一的人独自用餐的次数比和其他人在一起吃饭的次数多。人们可以边吃饭边看电视或上网，并不感到孤独。36C细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“a lot of us are perfectly happy to eat alone because the computer and TV provide us with solitary entertainment”，即人们在独自用餐时可以玩电脑或看电视，并不会觉得孤独，故选C。37B词义猜测题。文章第三段介绍了“suppertainment”的含义，即在独自用餐的同时通过电视或电脑娱乐，故选B。38C推理判断题。作者在文章第一段说独自用餐渐成风尚，字里行间透露出作者的赞成态度，最后一段借用Boyd Hilton的话进一步说明边独自吃饭边娱乐的优点。.39.Meanwhile40.problems41.popular42.whether43while44.environment45.it46.activities47However48.to版权所有：高考资源网()版权所有：高考资源网()
