答案解析:

對于表象與理想的差異我們能否冷靜對待?對于美好事物的期待我們是否有足夠的耐心和準備?也許有了冷靜與平穩(wěn)的心態(tài)就不會在心底留下永遠的遺憾。
1.C。語篇題。該題易誤選A(wanted),只有在理解全文的基礎上才能準確判斷“我”在大學畢業(yè)前想要得到跑車的心理。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段的表述 “It had a tag(標簽) with the dealers name,the same dealer who has the sports car he had desired.”可知,“我”渴望得到跑車,故四個選項中只有admire “羨慕”(to look at something and think it is attractive and impressive)可表達此意;B(appreciate)表示“欣賞、重視、感激”;D(enjoy)“喜歡、享有“,在語篇中程度不及admire。
2.A。語境題。根據(jù)語境可知,“我”知道父親在經濟上具有為我買跑車的能力,故應使用句型 “can/could (well) afford sth./to do sth.”,此題易誤選D(buy),buy與well在語意上不能表達上述含義。B(serve)意為“為……服務”;D(offer)表示“提供”。
3.B。語境題。B(sign)(an action that may happen in the future)表示“跡象”;A(message)常指“消息(communication sent by one person to another)”;C (signal)表示“信號”;D(notice)意為“通知”。
4.A。語境題。此處用 “finally”表示“終于等到了畢業(yè)的這一天”;B(thus)表示“如此、因此”;C(then)意為“那時、還、然后等”;D(besides) 表示“再者、而且、除……之外”。
5.C。語境題。根據(jù)句意可知,此處表示“父親以有這樣出色的兒子而自豪。”
6.D。語篇題。根據(jù)文章最后一段的描述 “… because they are not packaged as we….”可知,此處應填入與 “packaged”在意義上一致的詞,故選D(wrapped),意為“包裝”;A(tie)表示“(用帶子等)系、捆、扎”;B(use)表示“使用”;C(fold)意為“折疊”。
7.C。語段題。根據(jù)第二段的描述可知,父親給了兒子一個包裝好的禮品盒。因為這與兒子一直以來的期望看似不一致,故兒子感到“好奇”,故選C。A(satisfied) 意為“滿意”;B(excited) 表示“激動、興奮”;D(anxious)表示“焦慮”。
8.D。語境題。根據(jù)下文可知,此處表示兒子提高說話的聲音,沖著父親叫嚷。B(puzzle)作可數(shù)名詞解時表示“難題、問題、謎等“;C(strength) 意為“力量”。
9.B。語篇題。根據(jù)語境可知,失望的兒子滿懷怒氣沖出了家門;再根據(jù)下文語篇可知,兒子這次離開家到父親去世均未回過家??梢姡瑑鹤赢敃r沖出家門時并非僅強調速度快,故此處填A(ran)和C (rushed)不當;B(storm)在句中表示“猛沖、橫沖直闖“(to go somewhere in a noisy fast way that shows you are extremely angry)。
10.A。語境題。根據(jù)后一句描述可知,此處表示多年以后這個年輕人事業(yè)有成。B(hopeful) 表示“有希望的”;C(pitiful)意為“可憐的、同情的”;D(careful) 表示“審慎的、仔細的、小心的”。
11.D。語境題。根據(jù)語境可知,此處表示年輕人意識到父親已經老了。A(know)表示“知道、認識、經歷等”;B(recognize) 意為“認出、承認、公認等”;C(feel)表示“感到、感覺、摸索等”。
12.A。語段題。根據(jù)第五段的描述 “He began to search his fathers important papers and saw the still new Bible,just as he had__15__it years ago.”以及 “When he arrived at his fathers house,sudden sadness and__14__filled his heart.”可知,年輕人這些年以來未曾去看過父親;從他來到父親住所處流露出的懊悔心情也不難得出上述結論。B(ever)用于否定句、疑問句以及表示懷疑或條件的句子中表示“無論何時”;用于現(xiàn)在完成時疑問句中表示“曾經”;還可用于比較級或最高級之后;C(often)表示“經?!?;D(seldom)意為“很少、不?!?。
13.C。語境題。根據(jù)該句中的描述 “…and willed all of his possessions to his son.” (將他所有的財產都遺贈給了兒子。)可知,此處表示“去世”,故選C(passed away);A(go away)表示“離去”;B(break away) 表示“掙脫、逃脫、脫離、革除(習慣、思想方式或信仰)等”;D(keep away)意為“遠離、不接近”。
14.B.語段題。在父親的房子里,年輕人內心突然感到悲傷,想起自己多年前大學畢業(yè)時對待父親的態(tài)度,內心頓覺懊悔。故此空應選B(regret);A(damage)表示“損害;損毀(使失去價值)”;C(hurt) 表示“傷害、損害”;D (unpleasantness)意為“不愉快、爭執(zhí)”。
15.C。語篇題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句話“…out of the house,leaving the holy book.”可知,此處用表狀態(tài)的left說明父親當初給他的那本《圣經》仍然擺放在原處。A(put)表示“放置”;B(see)表示“看見”;D(manage)表示“控制、處理、管理、完成、使用”等。
16.B。語境題。此處用 “dropped”表示在他一頁一頁翻讀《圣經》時,突然從粘在書背面的信封里掉出一把汽車鑰匙。 指“偶然掉落”時常用“drop(to fall by accident)”;A(fall)側重于位置上的“從高向低”;C(appear)表示“出現(xiàn)、登臺、顯得”;D(come)與介詞from連用則表“來自于……”。
17.A。語段題。根據(jù)段落及語句間的聯(lián)系可知,此處所指為“標簽上還寫有他的畢業(yè)日期及‘款已付清的字樣?!盉(celebration)
表示“慶祝”;C(birthday)意為“生日”;D(success)表示“成功”。
18.D。語境題。解析見第17題。
19.D。語境題。最后一段為作者就文中記述的事件所產生的感悟:我們多少次地與祝福擦肩而過?而這一切僅僅是因為他們沒有按照我們期待中的樣子包裝好。
20.B。語境題。解析見第19題。A(think) 意為“考慮、想、認為”;C(plan)表示“計劃、策劃、設計”;D(wish) 意為“希望、但愿”。
