A. put B. hung C. set D. gave答案与解析:文章为记叙文,讲述了“我”与一位患癌症的小朋友的故事。节食不吃巧克力的“我”常吃这位小朋友赠送的糖。1Dpromise“允诺,许诺”。我举起手向妻子保证今天不吃巧克力。下文信息I knew my promise would.也有暗示。2Astop doing sth.“停止做某事”。听说我要节食,不再吃巧克力妻子诙谐地问是不是医院的礼品店不卖巧克力了。3Bdepend on“依靠,依赖,取决于”。我依靠我强烈的决心节食。4C当我到医院时那小孩儿又在那儿了。5Bquickly“
10、快,迅速地,很快地”。这个小孩子在那儿,我明白我节食的承诺很快就会消失。注意,shortly“不久,不多时”,不符合文意。6Abottomless“取之不尽的,无限的”。这里讲包中的糖似乎取之不尽。7Dblind“瞎的”。后文中的信息which caused him to live in the darkness有暗示。8C首先应排除years,如果Benton 15岁时患病,就与本段开头的“an eightyearold boy”矛盾了。下一句“For the next twentysix months, he was in and out of our hospital.”有暗示。9Bas

12、sh此处用作及物动词,意为“快速运输,速送”。13D上文提到Benton的母亲将他送到医院,因此这里是说,在接下来的几个月里,他又多次来我们医院。14Awould用于表示习惯性动作,如:Sundays he would sleep late.每逢星期天他总睡懒觉。文中讲Benton来医院时,我们总向他问好。15Bgreeting“问候,招呼”。我们向Benton问好,他则常给我们糖。16Dopened“开的,敞开的,不闭塞的”。后文信息but not looking into this world有暗示,注意句中信息词“but”。17Creach“伸手(或脚等)够到,触及”。我的手伸进包,取出
13、我手指接触到的那颗糖。18Bfor“为了,为目的”,此处表示对象或目的。这是一颗我最喜欢吃的糖,好像是Benton特意为我留下的。19C不幸地是我那个晚上在家里接到了Benton死去的噩耗。20Bhang up“挂断电话”。我挂断电话,剥开那颗糖,吃掉了(暗示回味我和Benton的这段经历)。*结束 (2012年广东模拟)My daughter wanted to change her job, so I moved across the country to the West Coast with her.I_1_no one here.I started feeling a little
