10、很多家務(wù)了。1. 【解析】actively?？疾樵~性轉(zhuǎn)換。修飾謂語動詞did, 要用副詞形式actively。2. 【解析】the?？疾楣谠~。此處的“study”就是上文提到的那個“A recent study”, 故用定冠詞the表示特指。3. 【解析】on?？疾楣潭ù钆?。根據(jù)固定搭配spend sth. on sth. 可知, 此處填介詞on。4. 【解析】doing?？疾榉侵^語。根據(jù)語境可知, 這里說的是“停止做某事”, 故用stop doing sth. 搭配。5. 【解析】who/that?？疾槎ㄕZ從句。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知, 空白處在句中引導定語從句, 先行詞為kids, 關(guān)系代詞在從

12、用一般過去時或should+do, 其中should不可以省略。10. 【解析】messages?？疾槊~單復數(shù)。message是可數(shù)名詞, 故要用其復數(shù)形式。. 完形填空 As I held my fathers hands one night, I couldnt help but notice their calluses(老繭)and roughness.

18、輯推理題。前面的句子提到父親的手上滿是老繭很粗糙, 推測他的職業(yè)是農(nóng)民最合適, 更重要的是, 下文說到了父女在田里摘玉米, 更加印證了是農(nóng)民的判斷。2. A. stormyB. livelyC. disappearingD. burning【解析】選D。邏輯推理題。根據(jù)句意, 既然發(fā)生了旱災(zāi), 那么用burning來修飾desert最合適不過了。3. A. orderB. formC. gapD. position【解析】選A。固定搭配題。fill the order“交付訂貨”, 此句的意思是, 我跟父親正在田里摘玉米, 以便交付雜貨店訂的貨。4. A. repeatedlyB. norma

19、llyC. finallyD. really【解析】選B。邏輯推理題。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, 這個過程進展不快”, 說明前面的二十分鐘是“通常情況”下所需要的時間, 因此應(yīng)該用副詞normally。5. A. goB. beginC. occurD. change【解析】選A。詞義辨析題。事情進展如何, 常用動詞go。6. A. yetB. stillC. evenD. nearly【解析】選B。邏輯推理題。平時只需要二十分鐘, 可是這次, 四十分鐘過后, 還沒結(jié)束, “仍然”還需要二十打玉米。7. A. surprisedB. nervousC. angr

20、yD. frightened【解析】選C。邏輯推理題。由于這次摘玉米用的時間太長, 太辛苦, 所以“我”很泄氣也很“生氣”, 這個可以結(jié)合后面“我”的行為推斷出來: 重重地摔籃子, 然后說“如果雜貨店還要那他們可以自己摘玉米”。8. A. apologizedB. criedC. complainedD. laughed【解析】選D。邏輯推理題?？吹健拔摇鄙鷼獾臉幼? 爸爸“笑”著安慰我。9. A. lostB. doneC. goneD. touched【解析】選B。固定搭配題。句意: 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”。10

21、. A. meets withB. brings upC. works outD. thinks about【解析】選A。動詞短語辨析題。句意: 無論他“遇到”什么難題, 他都不會放棄。meet with遇到; bring up撫養(yǎng); work out解出(難題); think about考慮, 只有選項A符合句意。11. A. ThankfullyB. HopefullyC. UnfortunatelyD. Strangely【解析】選C。副詞詞義辨析題。句意: 這次干旱的災(zāi)難性影響在全國都能感受得到。這是壞事, 所以應(yīng)該用unfortunately。12. A. orB. forC. so

22、D. but【解析】選D。邏輯推理題。句子的前半部分說旱災(zāi)對于每個人都是一種挑戰(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。13. A. happenedB. seemedC. continuedD. aimed【解析】選C。邏輯推理題。根據(jù)文章的主題可知, 父親對待生活持樂觀態(tài)度, 樂觀的人會感激生活和所擁有的一切。上句Dad remained optimistic提示, 在艱難的日子里, 父親“依然樂觀”, “繼續(xù)”感恩已有的東西, 如健康和盤中食物。14. A. FaceB. appreciateC. examineD. question【解析】選B。動

23、詞詞義辨析題。句意: 就是在那時, 我才開始“感激”父親以及他引導我們走過艱難歲月的信念。15. A. loveB. prideC. friendshipD. honesty【解析】選A。邏輯推理題。這句話是本段落的主題句, 從下文可以看出, “父親”對于家庭無私的奉獻以及對子女無私的愛, 所以選擇love是最合適的。16. A. supportB. settleC. startD. impress【解析】選A。動詞詞義辨析題。句意: 父親每天工作很長時間來“養(yǎng)家”, 所以應(yīng)該選擇support。17. A. afterB. beforeC. besideD. under【解析】選B。邏輯推理

24、題。句意: 他總是把我們的幸福放在他自己的“前面”, 而且18. A. in spite ofB. in terms ofC. in control ofD. in place of【解析】選A。邏輯推理題。長時間工作之后, “盡管”很累, 也從不忘記在我參加比賽的時候為我打氣加油。in spite of盡管。19.

25、derate的解釋。20. A. historyB. mottoC. patternsD. lessons【解析】選D。邏輯推理題。句中的I have learned from you是一個定語從句, 空白處就是它所修飾的先行詞, 從句中的謂語動詞learned缺少賓語, 空白處就是它的賓語, 這樣就是learn. . . from you, 從四個選項中找一個詞填到這個省略號中作賓語, lessons是最合適的, 意思是“我從你那里學習到的生活上的一些經(jīng)驗教訓”。. 閱讀理解 To country walkers, they are the plants to be avoided.
