27、us 好奇的;tired 劳累的;awful糟糕的;funny 滑稽的。2.A 推理判断题。根据 Writing the wrong name 部分中的“Respond quickly and briefly, apologising for your mistake. Keep the tone measured:dont handle it too lightly”可以推断出,在写错名字时,要立即道歉,并且说话的语调要有分寸,不能太轻率,也就是你要严肃认真地道歉,所以答案为 A 项。3.B 推理判断题。根据 Clicking “reply all” unintentionally 部分中的
28、 “In this instance, step away from your keyboard to allow everyone to calm down.”可以推断出,出现这种情况时,你要离开键盘,让每个人都冷静下来,也就是不要继续参与讨论,所以答案为 B 项。4.D 事实细节题。根据最后一段中的 “In that case, ask to speak in person as soon as possible and say sorry.”可知,出现这种情况时,要亲自向收件人道歉,所以答案为 D 项。5.C 主旨要义题。根据第三段 “What to do? Here are four
29、common email accidents, and how to recover.”可知,本文的主题就是当发错邮件时你应该如何补救。本文列举了四种常见的错误以及相应的补救措施,所以答案为 C 项。.七选五语篇解读 本文为说明文。家庭出现争端是普遍的。本文介绍了家庭出现矛盾的原因并向读者介绍了作为孩子应该如何对待家庭争端。1.D 上句讲的是:也许你由于个人琐事经常与家长产生争端。下句讲的是:当父母争执时,大多数青少年一定会感到遗憾甚至害怕。由此可判断本句应为过渡句从孩子与家长的争端这一话题转移到家长之间产生争端这一话题,由此可见答案为 D 项。2.E 根据下文内容可推知:家长间意见不同不断争
30、执是正常现象。故答案为 E 项。3.G 上句中“these arguments are often over quickly”与 G 项中“and the family gets back into its usual way”相对应,故答案为 G 项。4.A 本句与上句均为作者的建议。上句作者告诉读者当父母打了起来的时候不要做某事(不要过于担心),本句作者应该告诉读者应该做什么,即应该想一个好办法来解决它,故答案为 A 项。5.F 根据下句内容可推知本题答案为 F 项。7.完形填空语篇解读 本文作者通过讲述自己的经历,说明了在我们的成长过程中父母对我们的爱的表达方式不同,但都是很重要的,我们
31、要在这两种不同的爱中成长。1.B 根据 Shy but 可以判断此处选择的答案与 shy 相反,表达作者内心的感受。2.D 根据上文中的 a beautiful poem 以及下文中的 nothing short of talent 可知。3.C 根据语境可知,作者迫不及待地想让父亲看到自己的杰作。show sth. to sb.向某人展示某物。4.B 根据上文语境可知,作者为父亲的到来做着准备。prepare for sth.为做准备。5.C 由于上文母亲对作者作品的褒奖,使作者信心十足,想得到父亲同样的赞扬。6.A 见上文解析。7.D 根据下文 He circled the dining-
32、room table, complaining.可知答案。8.B 根据下文 I couldnt look up.可知,作者此时“低下头”。9.A 由下文“I think its terrible,” he said.可知父亲在读完诗歌放回到桌子上后,该是作结论的时候了。10.C 由此处语境可知作者的心情很差,与作者预想的不一样,让作者感到难过,因此眼睛变得湿润了。11.C 根据上文母亲对作者诗歌的赞美以及父亲对诗歌的评论可知母亲更倾向于鼓励孩子。12.D 父亲坚持自己的看法,认为“这是世上最糟糕的诗”,由此可知作者再也无法忍受了。13.A 在父亲做出这样的评价后,作者很伤心,因此选 A 项更能
33、体现作者的心情。14.C 根据上文 threw myself on the bed and cried 可知作者的“失望”之情。15.D 根据 That may have been the end of the story, but not of its.可知,尽管事情结束了,但对作者的影响意义重大。16.B 根据上文 I think its wonderful!及故事情节可知父亲说的观点与之相反,故选 B 项。17.B 母亲赞扬鼓励的话可以让作者更有创造力。18.C 根据上文 the mother force alone is incomplete 以及 Watch. Listen. Review. Improve.可知这样鞭策的声音也需要。19.D 根据上文可知,父母对待自己的方式截然相反,故选 D 项。20.A 根据下文中的 doubt 并结合本文的故事情节可知选 A 项,意为“证实;肯定”。
