18、AI was an extremely verbal child, and growing up with my dad was an experiment in linguistics(语言学). My father was a man of few words. Whenever I wanted his permission for a certain activity, I planned a speech that included who would be there, where it would take place, how long it would last, and w

19、hy it was an incredibly wonderful opportunity for me. He would listen and then say either “Yes” or “No.” There were never any qualifiers; not “Yes, but be home by dinner” or “No, unless you can convince me otherwise.” It was yes or no, plain and simple.

His answer: “A boy.” Since I had met two guys that day, this did not help me. I ran to my room in tears. Knowing

22、 my dads dislike of language in general and his fondness for briefness, it surprised me to hear that he was going to teach the eleven-year-old boys Sunday school class. He did so for not one, but many years. I always wondered if he actually said anything, or if they all just sat in their chairs and

23、stared at each other. I was sure that if people were waiting on my father to break the ice with brilliant conversation or a springboard comment, theyd be badly disappointed.

54、sing” results, being used to cover medical equipment and bandages.

68、的看法，并包括以下内容要点：（1）列举自己或身边现实生活中中学生梦想成真的一件事例；（2）结合自己的实际，谈谈你现在的梦想，并说明打算如何实现。【写作要求】 1. 在作文中可以使用自己亲身的经历或虚构的故事，也可以参照阅读材料的内容但不得直接引用原文中的句子； 2. 作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称。【评分标准】 概括准确，语言规范，内容合适，篇章连贯。答案完形填空：本文讲的是作者在飞机延误时回顾与12年未见面的做生意的朋友的过去美好时光的事情。18. A 分析句意可知,这时机场用广播发布“口头公告”用announcement；declaration表示“声明,宣言”；speech“演讲”；o

69、pening“空缺；开端”，均不符合题意。19. D飞机出了问题,带来的应是航班“延误”或者被“取消”的结果,但从下文可知,飞机航班并没有被取消,所以B项cancelled“取消”错误。整句话的意思应为“但是正在那时,机场发布了通知,此趟航班因为飞机出了故障得晚点了”。delay“延迟,拖延”；wait“等待,等候”。故D项符合题意。20. A飞机没有来，“我”坐在那里应该是“等待航班”。flight“飞行，班机”；turn“转动，轮流”；name“名字”；order“命令，次序”。因为飞机没来,当然无法检票,所以order明显不对,也没人叫作者的名字,故选flight。21. B下一句中出现

70、了lunch照应前文。理解全句,应为“那不是一个商务会议,而是我与一个业务上的朋友的一次愉快的午餐,而且我与这个朋友已经12年没见面了”。Negotiation“协商,谈判”；discussion“讨论”；party“集会,聚会”，均不符合语境。22. D we had.together为定语从句,修饰the good times and the great experiences。spend, meet, manage都不能与先行词times和experiences很好地搭配,而share表示“分享, 共有”,可以与其构成完整的句意, 即：“回忆起以前我们一起度过的快乐时光,我们都很开心”。

71、23. D 有这样额外的时间来回想我们的对话实在是太好了。回想应是在大脑中,所以mind“头脑,精神”合适；thought“思考,思想”；spirit“精神，心灵”,这两个选项不符合句意；flight“班次”,作者还没坐飞机,显然错误。24. C 这里说的是作者的感受：“我还认识到经常回顾生命中的快乐时光的重要性”。Reminder“引起回忆的事物,提醒人的事物”；time“时间”；plan“计划”；remains“残余；遗迹”。25. D 从上下文可知,作者认为自己很幸运,有这样一个机会来放松一下并回忆过去12年的快乐时光。break恰好能与take搭配,意思是“放松,休息”；way“路线，

72、方式”；cut“切,削，削减”；method“方法”。26. A store away“贮藏,保存”；put on“穿上”；set aside“留出，撤销”；give out“分发，用尽”。分析句意,应为：“这就有点像是在看储藏在家里柜子里的老相册一样”。27. B看着相册,展现在眼前的应是许多精彩的”回忆”。Celebration”庆祝,庆典”；award”奖品”；memory”记忆,回忆”；present”礼物”。A、C、D三项与语境和作者要表达的内容不吻合,无法概括。28. D 上文提到了photo album, 显然文中说的应该是“照片”中的人物。呈现在你眼前的是许多精彩的回忆,它们带

73、你回到过去的时光和场景,更重要的是,它们让你想起相片中的那些人。cupboard“橱柜”,books“书”,childhood“童年时代”都可排除,与上下文没有联系。29. A 通过整篇文章我们分析作者此时的心情应是很愉快的。句意为：“我微笑着登上了飞机,并且意识到我对于飞机的晚点并不心烦”。Happy“高兴的”；crazy “疯狂的”；surprised “惊讶的”；upset“心烦意乱的”。结合句意,upset合适。30. C 作者心情好的原因应是“有时间去回顾那些逝去的好时光”。第二段和第三段都提到了reflect on这个短语,意思是“仔细考虑”；take on“呈现”；seize o

74、n“抓住”；bring on“促使,导致”。语法填空：这是一个启迪故事，介绍了一位商业天才告诉人们要做别人想不到的或以前没有尝试过的事情来取得成功。37. something 考不定代词的用法，用于表示建议、请求用代词something。 38. a 考冠词的固定搭配的用法，大量的用a great amount of/ a great deal of/ a great number of 等。39.because 考从属连词的用法，前后分句明显有因果关系，故填表示原因的从属连词，故填because。40. to 考介词的固定搭配用法，表示“的关键、.的答案”，用介词key to。阅读理解A篇：
