40、at mirror”可知他的父母给他买了一面“镜子(mirror)” 。18B 从第一段末的“. his reflection continued with its sad expression”可知镜子中的小男孩看上去很“悲伤(sad)” 。19C 前后两个分句“He tried smiling”与“. his reflection continued with its sad expression”之间是转折关系，所以用 but 表转折。20D 无论小男孩怎么表现镜子中的他一直是悲伤的，所以小男孩觉得很“奇怪(Surprised)” 。21C 从 but 可知前后是转折关系，镜子中的小男孩
41、看起来“仍旧(still)”很伤心。22B 见下一题解析。23A 镜子中的自己一直是悲伤的所以小男孩认为镜子很“糟糕(terrible)” 。他第一次看到镜子不能正确地“工作(work)” 。24D 从下文的“As the little girl wouldnt stop crying”可知那个小女孩是在“哭(crying) ”。25C 小男孩过去看这个小女孩发生了什么事。26B 从上文的“The little girl said that she couldnt find her parents”可知小女孩找不到父母了，所以他们一起去 “寻找(in search of)”小女孩的父母。27D
42、 从上文的“As the little girl wouldnt stop crying”可知小男孩买了糖果来哄小女孩开心。cheer sb. up“使某人高兴” 。28A 走了许多路之后，他们“找到了(found) ”小女孩的父母。29D 帮助小女孩找到父母后，小男孩就回家了。所以在此用 say goodbye to sb.表示 “跟某人说再见” 。30A 从上文的“When seeing the time .”及下文的 In his room 可知，他看到时间不早就“决定(decided)”回家。31D 从上文的“. the boy spent all of his money”可知，小男
43、孩空手回家，没有买到玩具也没有“钱(money)”了。32D 根据“to his great surprise”可知，小男孩看到的不再是悲伤的面孔，而是一张“高兴的(happy)” 脸。33B 从下文“The mirror could only reflect the .”可知，小男孩理解了镜子的“神秘(mystery)”之处。34C 这面镜子只会反映主人“真实的(true)”情感。35B 他“帮助(helped)”小女孩找到父母，感到真正的快乐。第二节 语法填空(共 10 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 15 分)阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(不多于 3 个单词) 或括号内单词的正确

47、 Then he should keep his feelings 44._ himself. I will never watch a modern art 45._ (exhibit)答案与解析 36interested 由下面的回答可推出，此处表示“对现代艺术不感兴趣” ，故用 interested，构成“be (not) interested in sth.”。37about be crazy about “对着迷” 。38if if “如果”引导条件状语从句。39traditional traditional“传统的” ，在句中作定语修饰artists。40a 此处泛指“任何一个孩子
48、” ，故用不定冠词 a。41discussing theres no point (in) doing sth.为固定句型，意为“做某事没有意义” 。42but 前后两句之间存在转折关系，且空格后无逗号，故用but。43that 空格及后面的句子作 explain 的宾语，从句在结构和意义上均完整，应用 that 引导宾语从句。44to 此处 keep sth. to oneself 为固定用语，表示“不与他人分享” 。45exhibition 所填词作动词 watch 的宾语，故用其名词形式，表示现代艺术品的“展览” 。第三部分 写作(共两节，满分 35 分)第一节 短文改错(共 10 小题
