解析；這是一篇圖畫作文，要求考生描述圖畫的內(nèi)容，解釋其深層含義，

然后發(fā)表個(gè)人看法。圍繞圖畫內(nèi)容，可以將文章內(nèi)容安排如下：

第1段描述圖畫中的內(nèi)容。

第2段解釋圖畫所表達(dá)的隱藏涵義。

第3段對(duì)于圖畫中的這種現(xiàn)象，給出個(gè)人看法。

［參考譯文］

讓孩子們獨(dú)立

圖畫中一對(duì)父母在機(jī)場(chǎng)揮淚告別他們的兒子。而正坐在飛機(jī)里的兒子，向

其父母大聲哭著喊道：“爸爸媽媽，你們忘記給我請(qǐng)保姆了J根據(jù)父母張大的嘴

巴和傻眼的表情判斷，我們可以得知，他們聽到這些話時(shí)是非常的吃驚和尷尬的。

圖畫中看起來好像是父母在送別即將遠(yuǎn)行讀書深造的兒子。然而，他們的

兒子壓根就沒準(zhǔn)備好過獨(dú)立的生活。通過展示這一場(chǎng)景，繪圖人想警告我們：從

小被溺愛，長(zhǎng)大成人后也不獨(dú)立的人是無法自食其力的。例如，有一些父母在校

園附近租房就為了給孩子做飯和打掃房間，結(jié)果卻害了自己的孩子。這些孩子一

旦離開父母，就幾乎無法自己獨(dú)立生活。

所以，要讓孩子變得獨(dú)立起來是很重要的。一方面，父母應(yīng)該給予孩子機(jī)

會(huì)，讓他們做自己分內(nèi)的事。另一方面，年輕的成年人也應(yīng)該學(xué)會(huì)拒絕父母的“保

姆看護(hù)”。

1.（分?jǐn)?shù)：3.55）

填空項(xiàng)1：（正確答案：D）

解析：該處去掉空格后并不影響對(duì)句意的理解，可見這里缺少的是一個(gè)副

詞，可以連接上下文。rather和then都有此功能，但只有then放入句中符合句

意，rather則往往含有轉(zhuǎn)折之意。

［參考譯文］亞里士多德曾將朋友定義為“居住在兩個(gè)身體里的同一個(gè)靈魂”。

我們有多少朋友，以及我們結(jié)交、保持與失去朋友的難易程度，對(duì)我們的情緒都

有非常重要的影響。

因此亳不奇怪，朋友能改善我們生活的方方面面。朋友能幫助我們從喪失

親人的悲痛或者離婚的陰影中走出來。他們甚至不需要是心腹之交一一他們對(duì)我

們的積極影響也許就是簡(jiǎn)單的陪伴：和一個(gè)同伴小酌一番，你便不會(huì)感到孤獨(dú)。

“有些朋友，和他們待在一起更舒服。有些朋友可能更有趣，但也更容易

生氣。真正的好朋友不會(huì)生你的氣。友誼會(huì)因?yàn)殡p方不平等而終結(jié)。你們雙方可

能選擇了不同的路，有不同的經(jīng)歷，這便使得友誼更難以維持「教育心理學(xué)家

克倫?梅杰斯說。

我們最初是在童年時(shí)代認(rèn)識(shí)到朋友的重要性。雖然我們會(huì)保留一些兒時(shí)的

伙伴，但建立友誼最佳的時(shí)期是在上大學(xué)時(shí)。對(duì)于長(zhǎng)期性友誼的一項(xiàng)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，

大學(xué)時(shí)期建立的友誼，如果特別親密、交流特別多的話，可以在20年后依然很

親密。普渡大學(xué)的交際學(xué)教授格列?斯帕克斯說，“在大學(xué)期間，你可以結(jié)交知

心朋友，因?yàn)槟銈冊(cè)谶B續(xù)的幾年里都是非常親近的。這種關(guān)系很少見,很難復(fù)制；

他們是在家人之外對(duì)你來說非同一般的人?！?/p>

2.（分?jǐn)?shù):3.55）

填空項(xiàng)1：（正確答案：F）

解析：空格前有定冠詞the修飾，空格后有定語of...,可以判斷這里需要

一個(gè)名訶。喪失親人和離婚是兩件事，囚此這里的名訶應(yīng)為宓數(shù)形式。訶匯庫中

有aftershocks和routes,aftershock本意為“余震”,這里引豐為"悲痛",符合

句意。

3.（分?jǐn)?shù)：3.55）

填空項(xiàng)1：（正確答案：L）

解析：句中的bedownto意思是“歸因于"，thecompany意思是"陪伴”。

空格處要填入的是修飾謂語的副詞，詞匯庫中的副詞只剩下simply,代入句中表

示“……只是簡(jiǎn)單的陪伴”。

4.（分?jǐn)?shù)：3.55）

填空項(xiàng)1：（正確答案：M）

解析：根據(jù)空格前面系動(dòng)詞are,判斷這里需要一個(gè)形容詞或名詞作表語。

有人陪著一起喝酒自然不會(huì)覺得isolated"孤獨(dú)的"，如果填入connected,句意

就會(huì)相反，故排除。

5.（分?jǐn)?shù)：3.55）

填空項(xiàng)1：（正確答案：J）

解析：空格前有系動(dòng)詞are,空格后有with,可以判斷這里需要一個(gè)能與

之組成短語的形容詞。詞匯庫中的comfortable和connected都可以與之搭配，

但connected帶入句中表示“有些朋友只是更多聯(lián)系”，與下文無法銜接，故用

comfortableo

6.（分?jǐn)?shù)：3.55）

填空項(xiàng)1：（正確答案：C）

解析：根據(jù)空格前的動(dòng)詞take；判斷這里需要一個(gè)名詞作它的賓語。route

不僅可以指實(shí)際的路線，也可指抽象意義上的（生活的）道路，結(jié)合句意，這里指

“走不同的路”，所以填routes。

7.（分?jǐn)?shù)：3.55）

填空項(xiàng)上（正確答案：N）

解析：aswellas提示此處應(yīng)填入名詞與closeness構(gòu)成并列關(guān)系，并由后置

定語tobeginwith”展開”修飾。詞匯庫中只有communication在意思上能

被其修飾，表示“展開交流。

8.（分?jǐn)?shù)：3.55）

填空項(xiàng)1：（正確答案：E）

解析：空格前的情態(tài)動(dòng)詞can提示了這里需要填入一個(gè)動(dòng)詞，且為原形。

詞匯庫中符合語法的有cultivate和replicate。再根據(jù)其后的賓吾closefriendships,

只有cultivate符合句意，表示“培養(yǎng)親密的友情”。

9.（分?jǐn)?shù):3.55）

填空項(xiàng)1：（正確答案：A）

解析：根據(jù)空格前的such和形容詞close判斷此空應(yīng)填入名詞。詞匯庫中

剩下的名詞還有和是常見的詞組，意思是“親

proximitypossibilityocloseproximity

密，親近”，故為答案。

10.（分?jǐn)?shù)：3.55）

填空項(xiàng)1：（正確答案：K）

解析：空格前的不定式to提示這里需要填入一個(gè)動(dòng)詞，且為原形?？崭袂?/p>

提到這些關(guān)系很稀有（珍貴），那么自然就難以“復(fù)制（再得產(chǎn)選replicate。
