(2012·浙江) 21.A.strictly B.carefully C.roughly D.casually 答案 B 解析 根据下文及最后一段可知,这把漂亮的雨伞作为对作者善良、无私行为的奖励被邮寄给了他,所以包裹应是包得非常仔细。carefully仔细地,符合语境。strictly严格地;roughly粗糙地,粗略地;casually随便地,随意地。 22.A.Opening B.Seizing C.Observing D.Searching 答案 A 解析 根据下文Oscar saw an umbrella inside可反推出Oscar已经将盒子打开了。 23.A.After B.When C.Since D.Although 答案 D 解析 本句句意为:虽然他有20多年没有见它了,但是他还是立刻认出了它。根据句中的had not seen it in more than 20 years和recognized it可知,前后语意为转折关系。 24.A.clearly B.fully C.immediately D.suddenly 答案 C 解析 根据后文内容可知,作者对这把伞的印象非常深刻,所以当他见到这把伞时,立刻就认出它来。clearly清楚地;fully完全地,十分地;immediately立刻,马上;suddenly突然。 25.A.average B.unusual C.plain D.typical 答案 B 解析 从第二段中“a very old one with a beautifully carved wooden handle”可知,这把伞非同一般。unusual非同寻常的,符合语境。average普通的,一般的,平均的;plain朴素的,简单的;typical典型的,有代表性的。 26.A.beauty B.shape C.origin D.history 答案 A 解析 第二段中的beautifully以及倒数第二段中的finely均表明这把伞非常好看,所以作者被它的美所打动。 27.A.designer B.seller C.user D.owner 答案 D 解析 根据下文可知,作者经过一番努力,找到了伞的主人。第七段中的It’s mine也提示了这一点。 28.A.convinced B.forced C.encouraged D.advised 答案 A 29.A.until B.before C.which D.where 答案 D 解析 根据句式结构分析可知,空格后为一个定语从句,其先行词为the seat,关系词在从句中充当地点状语,故选where。 30.A.family B.theater C.house D.neighborhood 答案 C 解析 通过对下文的理解可知,作者说服了祖父母到失主家送伞。根据后文的rang the bell,the door opened等字眼可知是到了失主的家里。 31.A.invite B.help C.bother D.know 答案 B 解析 当老妇人看到作者时并不知道作者的来意,所以询问作者她能为他做些什么。May I help you?表示“有需要帮忙的吗?”。 32.A.putting up B.turning out C.picking up D.holding out 答案 D 解析 通读前文可知,作者要将老人的伞归还回去,自然是要伸出手将伞递给老人。hold out伸出,符合语境。put up举起,张贴;turn out结果是,最终是;pick up捡起,接收,用车接。 33.A.chance B.fact C.gift D.result 答案 C 解析 本句句意为:奥斯卡说着,伸手将伞递过去,好像是在递交一份期盼已久的礼物。选项中只有C项可与hold out搭配。 34.A.wide B.confident C.proud D.shy 答案 A 解析 父亲多年前赠送的礼物现在失而复得,老妇人自然是笑逐颜开。a wide smile为习惯搭配,表示“笑得很开心”。confident自信的,proud自豪的,shy羞涩的,均与语境及常理不符。 35.A.patience B.kindness C.courage D.determination 答案 B 解析 作者将捡到的东西归还失主,自然是好心。老妇人希望能送给作者点儿什么作为对他好心的报答。最后一段中的kind也与该处的kindness相呼应。 36.A.obviously B.naturally C.exactly D.probably 答案 C 解析 作者的祖母对他说过的话恰巧老妇人的父亲也跟她说过。exactly恰好,正确地,符合语境。obviously显而易见地;naturally自然地;probably很可能。 37.A.old B.rare C.precious D.nice 答案 A 解析 本句句意为:伞状况完好,鉴于它已经那么旧了。根据文章第二段中a very old one以及more than 20 years可知,这把伞很旧了。尽管这把伞经历了漫长的岁月,但其状况依然良好。 38.A.in contrast B.in return C.in exchange D.in answer 答案 D 39.A.possess B.accept C.carry D.value 答案 B 解析 由该语境可知,老妇人将这把伞邮寄给作者,希望作者能够将其作为一份礼物收下,以此表达老人对于作者无私帮助的感激。 40.A.attractive B.significant C.unselfish D.sympathetic 答案 C 解析 通读前文可知,作者为了找到伞的主人做了很多事情,而且并没有为自己的善举索取什么。他的做法在老妇人看来是善良、无私的。unselfish无私的,符合语境。attractive吸引人的;significant重要的;sympathetic有同情心的。 【提分秘籍】 分析长难句可从下面几点入手: 1.找出谓语动词 找到了谓语动词,就说明有句子存在。有时态的动词通常是谓语。然后,顺着谓语动词往前找,如果有引导词存在,说明这个谓语动词所在的句子就是个从句,再根据引导词前的单词判定该从句的类型。如果没有引导词存在,那说明这是主句的谓语动词,那它的前面就是主语,后面就应该是宾语或表语。 2.寻找并列连词 常见的并列连词有and,but,yet,or,so,for,not only...but also...看到这些单词,一般 就有并列结构存在,并且很可能存在着省略问题。 3.寻找引导词 找到引导词就找到了从句,再根据引导词前的单词确定其是什么从句。 4.寻找名词 一般的长句子中,名词后只要不是谓语动词,一般都有修饰限定成分,即定语或同位语。也就是说,我们只要能寻找到名词,其后的句子成分就确定是修饰或解释前面的名词的。 【举一反三】 One day a few years ago we had an uninvited guest—a sparrow.__1__ the little bird had flown into our open garage.Then I __2__ the bird before I saw it. “What’s that?”I asked when I first heard the sound. “It’s coming from the __3__,” my wife,Anita,said.“Maybe it’s one of the little __4__.” I looked into the garage.No children at all.But there was that sound again,coming from right up there.And that’s __5__ I saw the sparrow.It was flying __6__ just inches below the ceiling.It was clearly __7__ to get out,but couldn’t see the way out was not up,but __8__ and out through the garage door.So the bird continued flapping its wings and bumping its little head __9__ the ceiling. I tried to terrify it out,but only succeeded in driving it into the __10__ open space between the door and the ceiling.Then I tried to show the bird how to fly down a few feet __11__ it could get outside,but that only seemed to __12__ it more. “Why don’t we just leave for a few minutes?” Anita __13__.“I’m sure he’ll figure it out eventually.” We went back into the house,where we __14__ to hear the ongoing struggle between the sparrow and the ceiling.Then suddenly,it was __15__ and our uninvited guest was gone. I’ve __16__ that little sparrow through the years,and I’ve decided that birds are not different much from people.We think we were __17__ to fly ever upward,and we don’t even consider the __18__ that something good might happen if we just fly down a little bit.Once we figure out that we can make __19__ without banging(碰) our heads against ceilings,we can usually save ourselves much __20__. 1.A.Still B.Somehow C.Instead D.Perhaps 答案 B 解析 通过文中“we had an uninvited guest”,可知这只鸟是不速之客,不知怎么地,它飞进了车库。此处选择somehow“不知怎么地”。 2.A.heard B.caught C.searched D.observed 答案 A 解析 通过后面的“before I saw it”,可知此处为:我先听见了声音,后看见了小鸟。此处选择heard“听见”,符合句意。 3.A.house B.backyard C.garage D.basement 答案 C 解析 此处与下一句“I looked into the garage.”相互呼应。我听见了声音,问妻子,妻子说可能是孩子在车库。故选择garage。 4.A.birds B.guests C.cats D.kids 答案 D 解析 此处与后文“No children at all”相呼应。妻子说可能是孩子的声音,我看了后发现没有孩子在车库。故选择kids。 5.A.when B.how C.why D.whether 答案 A 解析 “That’s when I saw the sparrow.”那时我看见了那只麻雀,与前一句“But there was that sound again”前后顺承。 6.A.quickly B.anxiously C.cautiously D.slowly 答案 B 解析 此处通过后文“So the bird continued flapping its wings and bumping its little head ________ the ceiling.”可以猜测,此时的小鸟非常焦虑,想快点飞出去。故选择anxiously。quickly 迅速地;cautiously小心谨慎地;slowly慢慢地,均不符合句意。 7.A.deciding B.hesitating C.trying D.choosing 答案 C 解析 此处应是小鸟试图出去,但找不到办法。try试图,努力;decide决定;hesitate犹豫不决;choose选择,均不符合题意。 8.A.up B.backward C.forward D.down 答案 D 9.A.against B.off C.along D.into 答案 A 解析 此处和文章最后一句中“without banging(碰) our heads against ceilings”形成前后呼应。against碰撞,如waves dashing against the shore。off 远离;along沿着;into进入。 10.A.free B.small C.wide D.dark 答案 B 解析 通过文中“space between the door and the ceiling”可知此处指的是天花板和门之间的小空隙中,故选择small。free 自由的,有空的;wide宽阔的;dark黑暗的。此处强调我试图把鸟吓出去,却适得其反。 11.A.in case B.even if C.as though D.so that 答案 D 解析 通过分析句子“Then I tried to show the bird how to fly down a few feet ________ it could get outside”可知,句中show the bird how to fly down的目的就是让它飞出去,故用so that 引导目的状语从句。in case 以防万一;even if 即使;as though=as if 好像,都不符合句子的意思。 12.A.puzzle B.confuse C.frighten D.disturb 答案 C 解析 通过文中“I tried to terrify it out”和此处“but that only seemed to ________ it more”可以猜测,此处应是让它更害怕。frighten使……害怕,符合句意。puzzle使困惑,不解;confuse使……迷惑,困惑;disturb打扰。 13.A.suggested B.explained C.insisted D.demanded 答案 A 解析 此处是Anita提出建议,故用suggested。 14.A.attempted B.continued C.refused D.failed 答案 B 15.A.fierce B.empty C.safe D.silent 答案 D 解析 通过文中“our uninvited guest was gone”可知,小鸟飞走了后就没有动静了,故选择silent。fierce激烈的;empty空的;safe安全的。 16.A.looked after B.worried about C.thought about D.brought up 答案 C 解析 look after照顾;worry about对……担忧;bring up养育。小鸟已经飞走了,谈不上“照顾”、“担忧”、“养育”,故选择“think about(考虑,思索)”。 17.A.forced B.determined C.born D.urged 答案 C 解析 我们一直认为我们生来(born)就该往高处飞。force强迫;determine决定;urge强烈要求。 18.A.idea B.possibility C.challenge D.problem 答案 B 解析 由语境可知此处选possibility。idea主意;challenge挑战;problem问题。 19.A.progress B.peace C.decisions D.efforts 答案 A 解析 make progress取得进步,符合句意。make peace讲和;make decision做决定;make efforts作出努力,均不合题意。 20.A.panic B.pressure C.loss D.trouble 答案 D 解析 save意为“省下”,搭配为save ourselves much trouble“给我们省下不少麻烦”。panic惊慌;pressure压力;loss损失,都不合题意。 题型三 日积月累攻克固定搭配 “Look,it’s Baldy!”A boy shouted in my direction across the playground.Even though I was used to regular insults(侮辱) because of the__11__on my head,it was__12__horrible to hear.I sighed as I headed back to the class.

According to a recent research, the most common __2__ between parents and teenagers is that regarding untidiness and daily routine tasks.

On the other hand, teenagers lose their patience continually when parents blame them for __5__ the towel in the bathroom, not cleaning up their room or refusing to do the shopping at the supermarket. The research,conducted by St.George University, shows that different parents have different __6__ to these problems.However, some approaches are more __7__ than others.

On the contrary, those who let teenagers experience the __10__ of their actions can do better. For example, when teenagers who don't help their parents with the shopping don't find their favorite drink in the refrigerator, they are forced to __11__ their actions.
