14、ly age”可知,她并不赞成大卫的说法,故选B。2Cnegative消极的;boring令人厌烦的;tough艰苦的;complex复杂的。根据常识可知,艰苦生活易使人有皱纹,故选C。3Ccertainty确定性;wish愿望;doubt怀疑;concern关心。莉莉说60岁及以上的人可谓老人,但艾米丽认为“some old people may still be energetic and trying to pursue their dreams”,即她对莉莉的观点也表示怀疑。可推断选C。4Battractive有吸引力的;young年轻的;intelligent聪明的;ambitiou
15、s有抱负的。结合语境可判断,此空应与“some old people”相对应,即老人“be energetic and trying to pursue their dreams”使他们显得年轻。故选B。5Areach conclusion为固定搭配,意为“得出结论”。根据“so the teacher asked us to think about it after class”可推断出,同学们对老师的提问未得出任何结论,故选A。6Cembarrassment尴尬;barrier障碍;question问题;confusion混乱。根据语境可知,此空应指老师的提问“when a man cou
16、ld be referred to as an old man”,由此判断选C。7Bpreserve保存,维持;seek寻找;treasure珍视;possess拥有。根据下文对奶奶故事的介绍以及“So if we have our dreams and seek for them,we arent old.”可判断选B。8Aeven甚至;nearly几乎;only只有;hardly几乎不。甚至当奶奶70岁了,她还在追求自己的梦想。故选A。9Drealize意识到;change改变;promote提升;keep保持。由上下文可知,奶奶想当画家的梦想从孩提时代到70岁的高龄一直没有放弃过,即一直
17、保持着这个梦想,故选D。10Dtherefore因此;instead相反;moreover 而且;however然而。尽管奶奶一直保持着这份梦想,然而因为家里穷,她不得不将自己的梦想搁置在一旁。前后是转折关系,故选D。11Cgive up放弃;search for寻找;put aside放在一边,暂不考虑;stick to坚持。根据“stepped into the to raise money so as to support her family”可推断奶奶是将其梦想搁置在一旁。故选C。12Asociety社会;reality现实;world 世界;office 办公室。根据该空后的to
18、raise money可知,奶奶选择退学,步入社会去赚钱养家。故选A。13Dseldom很少;occasionally偶尔;already已经; never从不。根据“My grandma is such a woman who pursues her dream when shes 70 now.”可知,奶奶从来没有放弃过她的梦想,故选D。14Atime时间;excuse理由,借口;help 帮助;money钱。根据“.chance came when she retired from her work.”可推断,奶奶退休以后才有时间学画画,即奶奶是因为没有时间才一直未实现她的梦想。故选A。

20、;reject拒绝;continue继续;begin开始。起初作者反对奶奶上绘画课的想法,but表示转折意义,所以此处是说作者“开始觉得奶奶的选择是对的”,故选D。19Aenergetic精力充沛的;gentle温和的;optimistic乐观的;wealthy富有的。根据上一句“seeing her paint happily and enjoyably”和该空后“looks fine”可知,此处指奶奶看上去精力充沛。故选A。20Bachievement成就;regret后悔;dream梦想;difficulty困难。全文最后两句互为对应,可推断此句意为“当我们不知道自己的追求而让遗憾成为生
21、活的中心的时候,我们才算老。”故选B。.语篇解读本文主要讲述了调查显示大多数的树种向西迁移。尽管科学家们不确定是什么导致了这一变化,但一项研究认为它与降雨有关。21are expected考查语态和主谓一致。本句中expect的宾语是tree species,故本句要用被动语态。tree species是复数名词,故填are expected。22a考查冠词。句意为:但最近的一项调查显示了,用冠词a泛指“一个”。23stronger考查比较级。根据than可知,要用比较级,故填stronger。24surveyed考查非谓语动词。tree species与survey是被动关系,所以要用过去分
22、词 surveyed作后置定语。25since考查连词。本句中用了现在完成时。连词since(自从)过去的时间状语,主句用现在完成时。故填since。26themselves考查反身代词。分析语境可知,树木不会自己(themselves)连根拔起搬到别处去,故填themselves。27plants考查名词复数。根据some of the older.可知,应该是植物的复数plants。故填plants。28what考查名词性从句。sure后的宾语从句中缺少主语,用what。29causing考查非谓语动词。句意为:美国各地的降雨总量发生了变化,导致东南部等地区每年的降水量显著减少。要用动词的
23、ing形式作状语表示自然而然的结果。故填causing。30increasingly考查副词。修饰形容词watery,因此要用其副词形式increasingly。. 参考范文Dear Jianhua,Im very glad to have received the letter you sent me two weeks ago.Ive been thinking about the question you asked me.In my opinion,you should come back after finishing your studies abroad.For one thin
