二、单项填空
21—25 ABCBC 26—30 DBCAC 31—35 BBBDC
重点解析:
22. 本题通过语境考查词义辨析。serve服务;提供;satisfy使满意;promise答应;许诺;support支持;养活。
23. 介词宾语food后跟有补足语running out,四个选项中只有with可以用于这种结构,故选C项。句意为:食物快吃完了,我们只好步行去村里求助。
24. 解本题时应该首先从第二个空入手。依据ask sb. for排除A、D两项。对我来说老师的英语只能是听得懂或听不懂,不能是speak,排除C。
25. 依据be dressed in排除A、D项;have on不可用于进行时,故选C。
26. 由broke it可知是把喝咖啡的杯子打碎了,应用coffee cup;而the cup of coffee意为“那杯咖啡”。在英语中常用名词作定语修饰另一名词,以表示中心词的“用途、职能、性质、类别、性别、身份”或“制作材料、发生的时间、动作的对象”等。如:coffee shop, tea cup, tea room, room key, telephone number, school bus, time table, woman doctor等。
27. have the honour of sth / of doing sth意为“得到某殊荣;有幸做某事”,例如:May I have the honour of the next dance? (能赏光和我跳下一个舞吗?);第二空后的honour是可数名词,但是多用作单数。
28. 句意为:他一边照镜子一边想他当然很像那个角色。“照镜子”要用admire oneself in the mirror。故选C。
30. 解本题时首先要分清结构: he looked forward to是定语从句,省略了作宾语的关系代词that或which;The great day _______ at last.是主句,从结构来看,本题考查主句中的谓语动词,故选C。
三、完形填空
36—40 BAABC 41—45 DBAAA 46—50 CBCAD 51—55 BADAD
重点解析:
36. 作者回忆儿时假日,根据常识可判断为其父母亲(parents)带他远游。
37. 从后文提到的词语beach(海滨),sand(沙滩)等可知作者在海边(by the sea)。
38. play with sb.,与某人玩耍。
39. 可从词义来判断。moving令人感动的;anxious,焦急的;nervous,紧张的,均不合题意。
40. watch sb. do, 看着某人做某事。
43. 此处and表示承接。
44. explore意为“搜寻”,此处用现在分词形式作伴随状语。
45. 后文中有提示,且小孩口袋里的东西,常为“糖果”(sweets)。
46.“有可以买到冰淇淋的好地方”,故选择动词buy(买)。
48. 与上句照应,多年来,我“仍然”喜欢……。
49. tides指“潮汐”,而文中指“海浪”(waves)拍打岩石的声音。
50. build sand house(建沙房子)与文章开头make sand house同义。
51.表示语义的转折且单独使用,用however。
53. 作者想知道以后理想中的假日是什么模样,以后指“年老的时候”。
