26、ountrys economic recovering4.whether youll come5.Its certain that.1解析:选Dfall down“落下”;sit down“坐下”;lie down“躺下”; kneel down“跪下”。从上文可以看出那个男孩的东西撒落在地上,所以Mark跪在地上帮他捡起来。答案为D。2解析:选Balthough“尽管”;since“因为”;after“在之后”; until“直到”。since引导原因状语从句,因为他们同路,所以他帮他拿一些东西。而although引导让步状语从句,表示转折;after引导时间状语从句,表示动作发生在帮助Bi
27、ll拿东西后,与短文内容不符;until引导时间状语从句,表示在帮助Bill拿东西时,一直发生的事情,均不合题意。答案为B。3解析:选Afind“找到;发现”;realize“意识到”;say“说”;decide“决定”。find后接几个宾语从句,表示Mark对这个男孩有了较多的了解。答案为A。4解析:选Bplay“玩”;love“爱”;try“尝试”;make“使”。根据动词后的宾语可确定应填loved,只有loved后接computer games, baseball and history才有意义。意为:知道他喜欢电脑游戏、棒球和历史。答案为B。5解析:选Cquestion“问题”;id
28、ea“想法”;trouble“麻烦”;doubt“疑惑”。have a lot of trouble“有很多麻烦”。从短文中的最后一段Bill告诉Mark自己想离家出走可判断出他在学业上有很多麻烦。答案为C。6解析:选Abreak up“(尤指关系)结束,破裂”;break out“(火灾或战争)爆发”;break off“折断”;break away“脱离”。句意是:他和他的女朋友刚刚分手。答案为A。7解析:选Ccall“叫”;help“帮助”;invite“邀请”;allow“允许”。由于Mark帮助Bill拿东西,所以被Bill邀请喝可乐和看电视。答案为C。8解析:选Dpeacefull
29、y“和平地”;willingly“乐意地”;freely“免费地”;pleasantly“愉快地”。下文“with a few laughs and some shared small talk”说明他们过得非常愉快。答案为D。9解析:选Acontinue“继续”;agree“同意”;force“逼迫”;offer“提供”。从下文可知他们的友谊一直持续下去了。答案为A。10解析:选Agraduation“毕业”;movement“运动”;separation“分离”;vacation“假期”。根据上文“and then both ended up from the same high scho
30、ol”可判断他们之间的谈话发生在他们毕业的前三周。答案为A。11解析:选Cwould“将要”;should“应该”;could“可以”,用来征求对方的意见;must“必须”。 句意:Bill问Mark他们是否可以谈一谈。would构成过去将来时,但根据下文可以看出,他们并不是经过一段时间后才交谈,而是马上进行了交谈。答案为C。12解析:选Bdemand“要求”;remind“提醒,使想起”;remove“移动”;ask“询问”。Bill使Mark想起几年前他们初次见面的那一天。答案为B。13解析:选A ever“曾经”;usually“经常”;even“甚至”;never“从来不”。句意:你是

32、nd“找到”;pick“挖”;pack“收拾”;hold“举”。根据前文,因为Bill想离家出走,所以他回家收拾东西。答案为C。17解析:选Atalk“谈话”;play“玩耍”;read“阅读”;watch“观看”。上文“The afternoon passed _ with a few laughs and some shared small talk”为做出正确选择提供了重要线索,只是把原句中的名词换成了动名词。playing有一定的干扰作用,一些考生把上文中他们喝可乐、看电视当作线索,做出错误选择。答案为A。18解析:选Bbefore“在之前”;if“如果”;while“当,尽管”;as
33、“当”。根据谓语动词的虚拟语气可判断出应用if。在表示过去的虚拟语气中,if从句中用had过去分词,主句用would(could)动词原形。答案为B。19解析:选Dforget“忘记”;pass“通过”;leave“遗留”;lose“丢失”。lose a new friend“失去一个新朋友”。A、B、C三项,均不符合题意。答案为D。20解析:选Dhelp“帮助”;recover“恢复”;improve“提高”;change“改变”。changed my life“改变了我的生活”。这篇短文告诉我们,在Bill遇到Mark前,他试图离家出走,但后来改变了主意。所以Bill说是Mark的帮助改变
34、了他的生活。improve my life“改善我的生活”,表示生活水平的提高,与原文不符。答案为D。.1解析:选D推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Yet, the most frightening thing of all about the night is that twice as many children are killed while out and about on Halloween compared to any other day of the year, according to a study by Safe Kids Worldwide.”可知在万圣节这天的晚上死亡的

36、 or Treat”牌子的目的就在于让那些挂这些牌子的房子不受到伤害。故B正确。.1解析:选C根据下文的“Some ways of .” 和 “But other ways .”说明人们处理压力有多种方法,故C项符合上下文。2解析:选F本段讲述的是向别人寻求支持,除了你的父母和亲戚,也不要忘记你的朋友。故F项符合上下文。3解析:选A根据前一句“Dont take it out on yourself”不要总是独自承担一切,要寻求别人的帮助,故A项符合上下文串联。4解析:选E根据上一句“its time to get down to business.” 说明是时候解决问题了,首先你要知道你要解决的问题是什么,故E项符合上下文。5解析:选D根据上一句“And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time, youll help yourself feel better even faster.”说明如果我们能够保持积极向上的态度,就会感觉很好。故D项符合上下文的含义。
