26、完形填空语篇解读本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，作者在丈夫突然去世正悲伤的时候，收到朋友的信。朋友也有着丧夫的遭遇，当时得到了作者妈妈的安慰，现在朋友又把作者妈妈安慰自己的话传给了她 1解析：根据下文的letters，cards，flowers，calls，and visits可知是作者的丈夫突然去世后，她收到了这些表示哀悼的东西。receive收到，符合文意。答案：A2解析：took a bad knock受到经济或感情上的严重打击。她丈夫去世，她应该是“悲痛”(grief)。答案：C3解析：从the whys and hows可知此处应该是understand，意思是作者想弄明白这些不幸的事情为什么
27、，怎么会发生在自己家。答案：D4解析：结合上一句想弄明白“问题”，这里应该是问题的答案answers。作者得不到答案，只有悲伤。答案：A5解析：由下文和deeply可知，是有一封短信打动了作者，所以用touch表示“打动”。impress“使有印象，影响”，appreciate欣赏，赞赏，affect影响，这三项都不符合语境。答案：B6解析：从through high school可知是在上学时的朋友，用grade表示“年级”。这里指从六年级开始到高中一直是好朋友。答案：A7解析：句中谓语动词drifted表示“漂流，漂泊”，说明两人在“毕业”(graduation)以后分开了，去了不同的地方
28、。答案：B8解析：通过语境可以判断，该处缺少表转折关系的连词，A、B意思不符合语意，however常和逗号连用，故应选C项。答案：C9解析：由上文可知，这里应是“失去联系”，所以用lost和touch组成短语。答案：B10解析：此处是动词的ing形式作结果状语，leaving在此处意为“使处于某种状态”，符合上下文语境。答案：D11解析：从下文的finding a job and raising three young children可以判断，这些都是她的责任，所以用responsibilities。答案：B12解析：她和Pete的关系就像我和Bob的关系一样。like作介词用表示“像一样”
29、。including是“包括”的意思；as well as作介词时，含义是“还，也”；except for表示部分与整体的关系，表示“除了之外”，用于非同类事物的排除。答案：C13解析：这里表示的是夫妻之间挚爱至深，用relationships。contact接触，background背景，interest兴趣。答案：D14解析：根据上下文分析，此处表示她在信中把“我”妈妈对她做的一件事写出来与”我”分享，所以用share。答案：A15解析：在西方如果是初次见面的话，接吻(kiss)、拥抱(hug)都可以，但此处作者的妈妈是在安慰作者的朋友，所以用hug更合适。答案：C16解析：上文已提到妈妈
30、很久以前就去世了，所以这里引用的也是妈妈很久以前说的话。答案：D17解析：我感到我现在几乎能听到妈妈对我说话了，用could。答案：D18解析：用powerful强有力的，很有效的，符合语境。答案：A19解析：我的朋友将它珍藏了这么多年，此时又将它传递给我。pass sth.on to sb.把某物传递给某人，符合语境。答案：B20解析：作者赞赏、感叹妈妈说给朋友，朋友又传给自己的这句话。“I love you”是多么完美的语言。unnecessary不必要的，curious好奇的，abstract抽象的，都不符合语境。答案：B.阅读理解语篇解读本文讲述了音乐剧的起源、表现形式以及不断发展变化

32、研究发现英国人极其懒惰。他们究竟懒到何种程度？一言难尽，还是自己亲自到文章中寻找答案吧 5解析：数字计算题。第三段提到被调查的人数是2 000多人，第五段开头部分提到不愿跑着赶公交车的人超过1/3，由此可推断大约有660人。答案：D6解析：细节理解题。第五段最后提到64%的人说他们过于疲惫而不与孩子一起玩耍，下一段指出这种做法导致了孩子在上学前就患了肥胖症，由此可推断C项正确。答案：C7解析：细节理解题。倒数第二段提到苏格兰最大的城市格拉斯哥是英国最懒惰的城市，其次是伯明翰和南安普敦，所以伯明翰是英国第二懒惰的城市。答案：C8解析：主旨大意题。文章前半部分叙述的是调查结果，最后一段叙述的则是这种现象的危害，所以B项最能概括文章大意。答案：B
