2、t embarrassed and cringed(畏縮) every time my mother addressed strangers in the grocery store or on the city bus.She talked to everyone and offered a smile. What really sold me on Mom’s approach to life was her experience on the senior bus, a story I’ve repeated to others many times.The weeks I could

3、 not be there, she used this lowcost transportation to the grocery store.After her first trip, I asked her how it went. “Ha！”she said, “I got on that bus and what did I see？Thirteen little old ladies and one old man, and not one word was spoken.” I wondered how long it would be until the somberne

4、ss(憂郁的氛圍) on that bus would change.On my next visit, Mom mentioned the ladies on the bus and something one of them had told her. “Oh, are you talking with them now？” I asked. “Of course, ”she said.“One day I climbed up the steps of the bus and before I looked for a seat, I gave them a big smile an

5、d I said, ‘Isn’t it a wonderful day？’ I noticed a few shy smiles.” Mom didn’t give up.She greeted them all each time she got on the bus and before long, the whole group was laughing and talking to one another.The bus became more than just transportation. She’s been gone for ten years but I’ve carr

6、ied on her recipe for life.I smile at people as I walk by and often begin a conversation in the checkout line.Silent, solemn(嚴肅的) people respond with smiles of their own and a bit of chatter.All it takes is for one person to initiate(發(fā)起) the smile or greeting.It was I who had done the smiling first

7、and all those people had responded.My mother didn’t lecture but taught me by example.She’d given me a recipe for life. 【解題導語】　本文主要講述了作者的母親積極樂觀的人生態(tài)度對作者的影響。 1．How did the writer’s mother break the silence on that senior bus?

8、ngers a gift. C．By greeting and smiling at all the passengers. D．By asking the passengers some difficult questions.

9、rsuaded me to accept. C．Forced me to be against. D．Encouraged me to give up. B　解析：詞義猜測題。根據(jù)文中第二段可知，作者剛開始是感到尷尬和畏縮的，根據(jù)最后一段的前兩句可推知，作者接受了母親的人生態(tài)度并開始向他人展示這種人生態(tài)度，故此處sold me on是指作者“被勸服并接受”。 3．What can we infer from the passage?

10、e a good teacher. C．The writer didn’t like her mother when she was young. D．The writer once doubted her mother’s approach to life.

12、容可知，母親通過經(jīng)常對他人微笑從而實現(xiàn)與他人的溝通，創(chuàng)造了一種和諧的交流氛圍，作者由此受益。由此可推知，本文的目的在于呼吁人們打破溝通的障礙，像作者的母親一樣勇敢地和他人交流，故選D。 ***語法填空 The wives who lived within the walls of the Weinsberg Castle in Germany were well aware of the riches it held: gold, silver, jewels, and wealth beyond belief.

17、0.________ 篇章導讀：本文是一篇記敘文。文章介紹了德國Weinsberg城堡，該城堡以婦女的忠誠聞名于世。 1．valuable/invaluable　考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換?？仗幮揎椕~treasure且表示“(極)寶貴的”，故用value的形容詞形式valuable或invaluable。 2．trapped　考查非謂語動詞。動詞trap和主語之間是邏輯上的動賓關(guān)系，表示“(已經(jīng))被困城堡之內(nèi)”，故用過去分詞trapped作主語補足語，表明主語的狀態(tài)。 3．a(chǎn)nd　考查連詞。根據(jù)語境可知，該句中的“Frederick, the Duke of Swabia”和“his broth

18、er, the Emperor Konrad”之間是并列關(guān)系，故用and。 4．whose　考查定語從句的引導詞。分析該句結(jié)構(gòu)可知，該句為非限制性定語從句，army和先行詞之間是所屬關(guān)系，故用whose引導該定語從句。 5．to leave　考查非謂語動詞。refuse to do sth.為固定短語，表示“拒絕做某事”，此處表示，城堡里的婦女要求滿足她們的條件，否則就拒絕離開。 6．with　考查介詞。fill (sth.) with sth. 為固定用法，意為“用……填滿……”，故填with。 7．possibly　考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換?？仗幮揎梽釉~take，故用副詞形式。 8．tear

19、s　考查名詞的復數(shù)。tear為可數(shù)名詞，此處構(gòu)成固定搭配bring sb.to tears，意為“使某人流淚”，故用tear的復數(shù)形式tears。 9．safety　考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。根據(jù)該句中的“complete ... and freedom”可知，形容詞complete修飾空處所填詞，空處與名詞freedom為并列關(guān)系，故用名詞形式safety。 10．made　考查動詞的時態(tài)。根據(jù)該句中的“He invited them”及全文時態(tài)可知，此處陳述的是過去發(fā)生的事情，故用一般過去時。 ***完形填空 One day when I was 13，my family was work

33、項“當……時候，盡管”。由上下文可知，此處指父親一到達大門，就跳進了卡車里。故選B項。 12．A　根據(jù)語境可知，父親開著卡車從火中穿過。through“通過，穿過”，表示運動發(fā)生在某物的空間內(nèi)；along“沿著”；over“在……上面”；across“從一邊到另一邊，橫過”，表示動作發(fā)生在物體的表面。 13．B　根據(jù)語境可知，父親開著卡車從火中穿過，火最終被撲滅了，所以母親睜大(wide)眼睛看著父親。 14．A　根據(jù)下文中的“asking him what other jobs he had done”可知，我們是很好奇的(curious)。suspicious“懷疑的，猜疑的”；co

Thank you in advance. 難項分析： 第二處：去掉next前的in　考查介詞。表示時間的名詞前面有l(wèi)ast, next等修飾時，前面不用介詞。故將in去掉。 第四處：anything→something　考查代詞。根據(jù)句意可知，應(yīng)該是告訴“我”“一些事情(something)”，而不是“任何事情(anything)”。故將anything改為something。 第九處：whether→if　考查連詞。whether和if作“是否”講，有時可以互換，但是此處應(yīng)表示的是條件，意為“如果”，這時只能用if。故將whether改為if。 *** 6EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F375
