One summer. I remember, a drought(旱災(zāi))hit Ontario, turning it into a   17   desert. On one of those hot mornings I was picking sweet com with my dad to fill the last   18   from the grocery store. Fifty dozen was all we needed, which   19   took twenty minutes. That morning, however, the process didn't   20   quickly. After forty minutes of aimlessly walking in the field, we   21   needed twenty dozen. I was completely frustrated and   22   . Dropping the basket heavily, I declared, "If the store wants its last twenty dozen, they can pick it themselves!" Dad   23   . "Just think, my little girl, only ten dozen left for each of us and then we're   24   .” such is Dad—whether problem he   25   , he never gives up.

  16   , the disastrous effects of the drought were felt all over our country. It was a challenging time for everyone,   27   Dad remained optimistic. He   28   to be grateful for other things like good health and food on our plates. Only then did I truly begin to   29   Dad and his faith that guided us through the hard times.

Dad is also a living example of real   30   . From dawn to dusk, he works countless hours to   31   our family. He always puts our happiness   32    his own, and never fails to cheer me on at my sports games   33   his exhaustion after long days. His loving and selfless nature has inspired me to become more sympathetic and    34   , putting others first.

 {定文體抓主旨}:本文是一篇夾敘夾議的文章。作者包含感情地描述了記憶中跟爸爸在一起度過的時(shí)光,爸爸對(duì)待生活的樂觀態(tài)度,對(duì)待子女的無私的奉獻(xiàn)和愛躍然紙上,讓作者,讓讀者感慨無限。本篇難度:中等。

{篇章結(jié)構(gòu)}:

段落

關(guān)鍵詞

大意推測(cè)

第一部分(para.1)

father’s hands; calluses and roughness; the story of his life

父親的手滿是老繭很粗糙;農(nóng)民的一生,辛苦奮斗的一生

第二部分(para.2--4)

picking sweet corn; frustrated; laughed; never gives up; optimistic; through the hard times; real love

在田里摘玉米,很泄氣;父親笑,不言放棄;樂觀向上;帶領(lǐng)我們走過艱難歲月;對(duì)家人無私的奉獻(xiàn)和愛

第三部分(para.5)

life lessons; father, teacher, friend and hero

從父親那里學(xué)到的很多,將伴隨自己一生;是父親,是老師,是朋友,更是自己心目中的英雄。

16.C。前面的句子提到父親的手上滿是老繭很粗糙,推測(cè)他的職業(yè)是農(nóng)民最合適,更重要的是,下文中說到了父子在田里摘棉花,更加印證了是農(nóng)民的判斷。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)的意思分別是老師,園丁,農(nóng)民,雜貨商。

17.D。根據(jù)句意,既然發(fā)生了嚴(yán)旱災(zāi),那么用burning來修飾desert最合適不過了。A,B,C三個(gè)選項(xiàng)的意思分別是暴風(fēng)雨的,生動(dòng)的,消失的,均與句意不符,排除。

18.A。fill an order是一個(gè)固定短語,意思是“交付訂貨”,此句的意思是,我跟父親正在田里摘玉米,以便交付雜貨店定的貨。

19.B。此題需要結(jié)合后面一句話去做,后一句的意思是“然而這一次,這個(gè)過程進(jìn)展不快”,說明前面的二十分鐘是“通常情況”下所需要的時(shí)間,因此應(yīng)該用副詞normally。

20.A。事情進(jìn)展如何,常用動(dòng)詞go,而不用begin, occur, change。

21.B。平時(shí)只需要二十分鐘,可是這次,四十分鐘過后,還沒結(jié)束,“仍然”還需要二十分鐘。其他三個(gè)選項(xiàng)均不能表達(dá)此意。

22.C。由于這次摘玉米用的時(shí)間太長(zhǎng),太辛苦,所以“我”很泄氣也很“生氣”,這個(gè)可以結(jié)合后面“我”說的話來推斷出來:重重的摔籃子,然后說“如果雜貨店還要那他們可以自己摘玉米”,這些都可以印證“我”很生氣,而不是A吃驚,B緊張,D害怕,

23.D?吹健拔摇鄙鷼獾臉幼,爸爸“笑”著安慰我。

24.B。本句意思是:我們每人“僅僅”需要摘十打,然后我們就結(jié)束了。be done是固定用法,意思是“結(jié)束,做完了”。

25.A。本句意思是:無論他“遇到”什么難題,他都不會(huì)放棄。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)的意思分別是:遇到,撫養(yǎng),解出(難題),考慮,只有選項(xiàng)A符合句意。

26.C。本句的意思是:這次干旱的災(zāi)難性影響在全國(guó)都能感受得到。這是壞事,所以應(yīng)該用unfortunately. 其他三個(gè)選項(xiàng)的意思分別是:謝天謝地;滿懷希望地;很奇怪,均與句意不符。

27.D。句子的前半部分說旱災(zāi)對(duì)于每個(gè)人都是一種挑戰(zhàn),后半部分說父親保持樂觀,兩者之間顯然是一種轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,應(yīng)該用連詞but。

28.B。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)后面加上to be之后的意思分別是:碰巧是;似乎是;繼續(xù)是;目的是,只有選項(xiàng)B合乎句意。

29.B。句子意思是:就是在那時(shí),我才開始“感激”父親以及他引導(dǎo)我們走過艱難歲月的信念。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)的意思分別是:面對(duì) 感激 檢查 質(zhì)問,只有選項(xiàng)B符合句意。

30.A。這句話是本段落的主題句,從下文可以看出,“父親”對(duì)于家庭無私的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)已經(jīng)對(duì)子女無私的愛,所以選擇love是最合適的。其它三個(gè)選項(xiàng)的意思分別是:自豪,友誼,誠(chéng)實(shí),均不符合句意。

31.A。句子的意思是:父親每天工作很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間來“養(yǎng)家”,所以應(yīng)該選擇support。其他三個(gè)選項(xiàng)的意思分別是:安置,開始,使……有印象,均不符合句意。

32.B。句意為:他總是把我們的幸福放在他自己的“前面”,而且……。

33.A。長(zhǎng)時(shí)間工作之后,“盡管”很累,也從不忘記在我參加比賽的時(shí)候?yàn)槲掖驓饧佑。“累”和“給我打氣加油”之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,所以應(yīng)該用in spite of。其它三個(gè)選項(xiàng)的意思分別是:在……的條件下,在……的控制下,取代,均不合句意。

34.C。句子的意思是:他的愛和無私激勵(lì)著我更加富有同情心和“更體諒人”,把別人放在前面考慮。解題關(guān)鍵是“putting others first”,這其實(shí)就是對(duì)considerate的解釋。

35.D。句中的I have learned from you 是一個(gè)定語從句,空處就是它所修飾先行詞,從句中的謂語動(dòng)詞learned缺少賓語,空處就是它的賓語,這樣就是learn … from you,從四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中找一個(gè)詞填到這個(gè)省略號(hào)中做賓語,lessons是最合適的,意思是“我從你那里學(xué)習(xí)到的生活上的一些經(jīng)驗(yàn)教訓(xùn)”。其它三個(gè)選項(xiàng)的意思分別是:歷史,箴言,模式,放到句中均不符合句意。

       As I held Gladiator, my heart started beating heavily. My mind was __51__ with questions: What’s life? Am I really alive? Are you listening to me? Every time I moved my hand down Gladiator’s body, I had a __52__ thought; each touch sang a different song.

Dear Alcohol,

You’ve been around forever. I can remember all the pain you’ve caused for me.

Do you remember the night you almost took my father’s life? I do. He loves you. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me. He’s addicted to you, to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them. You just sat back and laughed as his car went spinning through the street, crashing into two other cars. He wasn’t the only one hurt by you that night.
Do you remember the night of my first high school party? You were there. My friends were intrigued by you. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again, drinking all of you that they could. I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen completely. “I’m so embarrassed,” they said as I held their hair back so that they could vomit (嘔吐). “I’m sorry,” they said when I called taxies for them, walking them out and paying the driver in advance. “This won’t happen again,” they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped. Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night thanks to you.

Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car? He died the next morning too. His sister walked home from her dance lesson, and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio. She didn’t realize her brother was in the midst of it all. She never saw him again. And it’s all your fault.
I wish you’d walk out of my life forever. I don’t want anything to do with you. Look at all the pain you’ve caused. Sure, you’ve made people happy too from time to time. But the damage you’ve caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable. Stop luring (引誘) in the people I love. Stop hurting me, please.

Sincerely,Anonymous
