19、是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个擅长表演京剧的外国青少年的故事。1an 考查冠词。star 是可数名词，且第一次在文章中出现，故用不定冠词修饰，表泛指；形容词 unlikely的读音以元音音素开头，故用 an。2to sing 考查非谓语动词。ability to do sth. “做某事的能力” ，为固定搭配，故用不定式作后置定语。3who 考查定语从句的引导词。所填关系词引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词The teen，且关系词在从句中作主语，故填关系代词 who。4picked 考查动词的时态。since 意为“自从” ，引导状语从句，从句常用一般过去时，主句用现在完成时。5his 考查
20、代词。根据语境 mouth和主语 he可知，此处应用形容词性物主代词 his修饰名词 mouth，在句子中作定语。6known 考查非谓语动词。know 和句子谓语之间没有连词，故用非谓语动词，且know和其逻辑主语 Peking opera是动宾关系，故用过去分词作后置定语。7movements 考查词性转换。根据 and可知，此处与名词 voices呼应，应用所给词的名词的复数形式，即 movements。8standing 考查形容词。由空后的名词 cheers可知，此处应用形容词修饰名词，standing意为“站着进行的” ，表示 Tyler得到了(观众的)起立欢呼。9as 考查介词。
21、此处 as意为“作为” ，后跟名词、代词或动名词，与 performed呼应，表示扮演的角色，符合语境。10want 考查非谓语动词。make sb. do sth. “让某人做某事” ，应用不带 to的不定式作宾语补足语，故填 want。*完形填空。阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D四个选项中，选出可能填入空白处的最佳选项。5That was a sunny day.My father and I were on the way _1_ my uncles home.People on the street were walking leisurely and chatti

30、亲走得比较匆忙，而街上的其他人走得比较悠闲，边走边开心地(enjoyably)聊着天。故选 D项。perfectly 意为“完美地” ；eagerly 意为“急切地” ；anxiously 意为“焦虑地” 。3B 从下文的 I was still left behind可知，父亲走得很快，作者试图赶上他，但是仍然被落在了后面。catch up with 意为“赶上” ，符合语境。故选 B项。make fun of意为“取笑” ；make way for 意为“给让路” ；get rid of 意为“摆脱；除去” 。4A 根据第二段开头的 Why do you walk so fast？可知，此
31、处指作者不知道为什么父亲走(walked)得那么快。故选 A项。5C 根据空后的 completely with sweat可知，由于走得太快，作者气喘吁吁、汗流浃背。lose ones breath 意为“喘不过气来” ，符合语境。故选 C项。temper 意为“脾气” ；confidence 意为“信心” ；balance 意为“平衡” 。6C 根据上文中的 I began to be angry at him可知，作者对父亲很生气，认为他根本不考虑作者的感受(feelings)。故选 C项。belief 意为“信念” ；behavior 意为“行为；举止” ；request 意为“请求；
32、要求” 。7D 上文提到作者很生气，所以说话的声音应该是很大的。根据第 8空后的 so loudly也可知答案。故选 D项。calmly 意为“平静地” ； frequently 意为“频繁地” ；softly意为“温柔地” 。8D 根据下文的 In fact，I deliberately spoke loudly and.可知，此处指父亲埋怨作者说话声音大。故选 D项。9A 作者责怪父亲走太快，自己跟不上，因此，此处指作者认为这都是父亲的过错(fault)。故选 A项。cruelty 意为“残忍” ；origin 意为“起源” ；business 意为“事情；商业” 。10C 作者在埋怨父亲
33、，而此时父亲也非常生气。因此，父亲在说作者总是责备(blame)别人。故选 C项。enjoy 意为“喜欢” ；admire 意为“欣赏” ；abuse 意为“虐待；滥用” 。11D 根据下文 Whatever he said，I quickly answered back.At that time, I was like a wild beast，losing my temper.可知，作者大发脾气，与父亲在大街上吵了起来，所以选 quarreled，意为“争吵” 。fight 意为“打架” ；bargain 意为“讨价还价” ；consult意为“咨询” 。12C 根据空后的 I could
34、 feel my face burning可知，和父亲吵架引来很多路人驻足观看，作者感觉自己的脸滚烫，因此可推断，作者感到羞愧(ashamed)。alarmed 意为“担忧的；恐慌的” ；afraid 意为“害怕的” ；amazed 意为“惊奇的” 。813B 由空后的 made me lose face可知，作者觉得很丢人，因为看到路人在嘲笑她。laugh at意为“嘲笑” ，符合语境。故选 B项。ask for 意为“请求；要求” ；wait for 意为“等待” ；aim at 意为“针对；以为目标” 。14A 句意为：我摸了摸我的脸，怒视着他。touched 和 glared是作者先后
35、做的两个并列的动作，所以用 and连接。15A 文中反复提到 angry，通过对与父亲吵架的描述可知，此处指生气能让人忘记你所爱的人为你做的一切。故选 A项。16B 设空后的 I were not his daughter为虚拟语气，作者因怒生恨，吵架后不与父亲说话，就好像自己不是父亲的女儿似的。as if 意为“好像” ，符合语境。in case 意为“以防” ；unless 意为“除非” ；after 意为“在之后” 。17C 父亲每次打电话时，作者总是抱怨太忙。busy 意为“忙碌的” ，符合语境。故选 C项。wrong 意为“错误的” ；crazy 意为“疯狂的” ；innocent
36、意为“无辜的” 。18B 眼泪应该是从脸上流下来，所以选 face。句意为：但是，当我们见面时，父亲那饱经沧桑的脸上流下的泪水使我感到内疚。19D 根据空后的 I realized that I should not hate him可知，作者越来越理解父亲，认识到不应该再恨父亲，此处强调的是一个心理逐渐变化的过程。gradually 意为“慢慢地；逐渐地” ，符合语境。故选 D项。naturally 意为“自然地”occasionally 意为“偶然” ；obviously 意为“明显地” 。20A 尽管有时候父母会做错事，但是他们希望我们能更好。此处指可能会做错事，所以选 A项。*短文改错
