11、ong with“一起,一块儿”。此处指母亲把圣诞树上及做一顿完整的火鸡正餐所需要的全部材料一块包装齐备。答案:C5. 提示:complete“完整的,完全的”,此时表现了母亲考虑问题周到、细致,把所需要的东西一应俱全准备完备。答案:B6. 提示:dawn动词,意为“天开始亮,破晓(begin to grow light),开始显露出来”。圣诞节的黎明来的完美,阳光照在刚下的雪上,熠熠生辉。答案:A7. 提示:景色迷人,一切是如此美好,但主人公的心情非常不好。but表示语气上的转折,天气的晴朗反衬出主人公心情的阴郁。答案:A8. 提示:make ones way to固定短语,“朝走去”。其他
12、三个选项均可以和make构成搭配,但不符合语境。答案:B9. 提示:“预料这个圣诞节将会是所度过的最糟糕的圣诞节。”句尾的even意为“曾经”,该句相当于This is going to be the worst Christmas we have ever had.答案:D10. 提示:从下文的谈话中可以看出奶奶见到他们非常吃惊,她没有料到这个时候,会有人到她家来。答案:C11. 提示:anyone用在否定句中表示“任何人”。答案:A12. 提示:that代表上文奶奶说的内容。that常用来代替上文所提到的内容,this指下面要说的内容,it可以指代某个具体的事物。答案:C13. 提示:wh
13、y引导的句子作表语,意为“这就是我们带了一只火鸡的原因”。答案:B14. 提示:从语境和insist这个词来看,需用must,表示“一定要,必须”。答案:D15. 提示:全句的意思是:我们必须有一棵圣诞树,不然的话,这些装饰物往哪儿放呢?otherwise“否则,不然的话”,meanwhile“同时”,therefore“所以”,however“但是”。答案:D16. 提示:屋子里放上刚砍来的圣诞树,装饰物被挂在了树上,很快屋里散发出一股清新的气味。smell作不及物动词有“发出的气味”之意,become, change都有“变化”的意思,become后可跟形容词,但此处意思不符。答案:B17
14、. 提示:take on意为“开始具有,呈现”。“房子里到处呈现出节日的气氛。”show up“显眼,突出”;carry on“继续执行”;light up“(表情)开朗起来”。答案:C18. 提示:until用在肯定句中表示动作一直进行到时间状语从句所表示的时间结束。此句意为:直到妈妈带着最后的惊喜进来,我们才想到吃甜点。答案:A19. 提示:妈妈做的冒着火苗的布丁让奶奶想起了她的过去,她的家乡,所以奶奶高兴得流出了眼泪。joy“快乐,高兴”。其他选项均不合题意。答案:B20. 提示:我也禁不住流下泪来。keep the tears from ones eyes相当于keep the tea
15、rs back from ones eyes,“阻止泪水流下来”;keep tears back“抑制住眼泪”,但在此和eyes无法连接。答案:D完形填空Im sitting in a quiet room at the Millcroft Hotel,a peaceful place hidden back among pine trees about an hour out of Toronto.

20、文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了“我”在旅馆里看到一只苍蝇不停地试图穿过玻璃飞出去,这无疑是在自杀。它完全可以从旁边开着的门飞走。“我”从这件事得到启发:人们在遇到困难的时候,不应冒昧地尝试,应该有所突破,才有机会获得成功。1.A.seeingBcrying outCwatchingDlistening to解析句意为:我听到了绝望的声音。listen to“听到”。A、B、C三项均没有“听到”的意思。答案D2A. struggleBcryCyellDtest解析struggle意为“挣扎,斗争”;cry意为“哭,喊叫”;yell意为“叫喊”;test意为“测试”。由第二段第四句中“the st
21、ruggle is part of trap”的提示可知,此处应选用struggle。答案A3A. birdBflyCinsectDworm解析bird意为“鸟”;fly意为“苍蝇”;insect意为“昆虫”;worm意为“爬虫”。由第二段第五句中的“the fly to try hard enough to succeed in.”可知,B项正确。答案B4A. experienceBdirectionCforceDattempt解析experience意为“经验,经历”;direction意为“方向”;force意为“武力”;attempt意为“尝试”。根据上下文语境可知,苍蝇正在尝试穿过玻
22、璃飞出去。答案D5A. ThusBSoCAlthoughDHowever解析thus意为“因而”;so意为“所以”;although意为“虽然”;however意为“然而”。句意为:虽然苍蝇不断地尝试穿过玻璃窗,然而并不奏效。前后两句是转折关系。答案D6A. unusualBlikelyCimpossibleDcommon解析unusual“不同寻常的”;likely“可能的”;impossible“不可能的”;common“寻常的”。由常识可知,苍蝇是不可能成功穿过玻璃飞出去的。答案C7A. diggingBbreakingCpushingDjumping解析dig“挖掘”;break“打破
23、”;push“推”;jump“跳”。短语break through意为“突破,冲破”,符合语境。答案B8A. killBdieClieDstick解析kill“杀死”;die“死”;lie“撒谎,躺”;stick“粘贴”。由常识判断,如果苍蝇不断地撞击玻璃,就会死在那里。答案B9A. awayBfarCnearDdistant解析away“距离远”;far“远的”;near“近的”;distant“远的”。away用在名词后,表示距离某地有多远,符合语境。答案A10A. dreamsBthinks ofCmissesDlongs for解析dream“梦想”;think of“考虑”;miss

26、从句和状语从句。从句中不缺任何成分,且句中先行词是idea,所以其后要用that来引导同位语从句,对idea进行补充说明。答案A16A. senseBdifferenceCeffectDeffort解析sense“感觉,意识”,常和make构成短语,make sense意为“有意义”;difference“区别,不同”;effect“影响”;effort“努力”。句意为:毫无疑问,这种方法对这只苍蝇来说是有意义的。答案A17A. ofBfromCoffDto解析在solution的后面常跟to表示的不定式,是固定搭配。意为“解析法”。答案D18A. adviceBsupportChopeDpo
27、wer解析advice“建议”;support“支持,支撑”;hope“希望”;power“力量”。此处与最后一段中的“If you_ _your hopes for a.”相照应,故用hope符合语境。答案C19A. riskBgetCmakeDtake解析risk“冒险,冒的风险”;get“获得”;make“制作”;take“带走”。句意为:如果你冒险把你的希望放在比以往更艰难的突破上,你就可能有扼杀成功的机会。答案A20A. failBkillCachieveDfulfill解析fail“失败”;kill“杀死”;achieve“获得,达到”;fulfill“执行,履行”由语境可知,此处应用kill。答案B
