9、父亲提前回家在女儿的教室为她准备了一个惊喜的故事。【难句分析】When he was coming back and talking to his sister,both of them came to the conclusion that they should do something special for his daughter.分析:这是一个复合句。When he was coming back and talking to his sister 是一个时间状语从句,that they should do something special for his daughter 是一
10、个同位语从句。译文:当他回来和他姐姐说起(这个问题)的时候,他们俩得出一个结论:他们应该为他的女儿做一些特别的事情。1B 考查细节理解。根据第一段“It was a normal school day for senior Solymar Solis”中的“a normal school day”和第三段“As unsuspecting Solymar entered the classroom”中的“unsuspecting”可知,Solymar 那天刚进入教室时感觉到一切如往常一样,故选项 B正确。unsuspecting 意为“无疑心的,不知情的” 。根据第三段中的“she was so
11、on overcome with emotion,immediately bursting into tears and covering her mouth.She didnt talk.She was just crying.She was overwhelmed with everything.She thought it was a dream”可知,选项 A“她渴望拥抱她的父亲”和选项C“看到自己的父亲她很兴奋”及选项 D“她对她看到的一切感到吃惊” ,不是题干 at first对应的信息,而是发现自己的父亲为自己准备的惊喜后所产生的情感。故均可排除。2A 考查推理判断。根据第四段末
12、句中的“and it turned out perfect”和第五段中的“she deserves all the special arrangements.Im doing good parenting”可以推断出,这位父亲对这次为女儿准备的惊喜是非常满意的(content)。所以选项 A正确。3astonished“吃惊的” ;touched“受感动的” ;upset“心烦意乱的” 。Melendez 精心准备了这次惊喜,一切也如计划一样发展,因此他很满意,所以选项 B、C 和 D都不符合语境。3D 考查推理判断。根据第四段的描述可知,Solymar 的父亲在外工作,把她托付给姐姐照顾,这
13、次提前回来并在姐姐和学校的帮助下安排了这次特别的见面。同时结合第五段父亲的话可以看出,他之所以这样做就是为了弥补(make up for) Solymar 在成长过程中缺失的父爱。所以选项 D正确。4C 考查主旨大意。根据全文的内容,尤其是首段第一句中的“until an unexpected visitor arrived”以及末段中的“Melendez said of being able to surprise his daughter this way”可知,父亲为了给女儿一个惊喜,所以提前回家,并在女儿所在的教室精心准备了这次见面。所以选项 C体现了文章的主旨,最适合作标题。*语法填

18、 12月坐飞机前往英国伦敦旅游的经历。1flew 考查动词的时态。由时间状语“Last December”可知,应用一般过去时,4故填 flew。2what 考查主语从句的连接词。分析句子结构可知,空处引导主语从句且在从句中作主语,所填词意为“的事物” ,故填 what。3their 考查代词。make ones way 意思是“前往” ,且主语为 people,故填their。4amazing 考查词性转换。amaze 意思是“使惊奇” ,它的形容词 amazing意思是“令人惊奇的” ,常用来修饰物。由 shops可知应填 amazing。5a 考查冠词。此处是 what引导的感叹句,句中
19、 experience作名词,意为“经历” ,是可数名词,所以要用不定冠词修饰,故填 a。6called 考查非谓语动词。call 与 wax museum为动宾关系,故此处应用过去分词作后置定语,故填 called。7figures 考查名词的数。此处表示“那里有许多名人的蜡像” 。由“a lot of”可知,此处要用可数名词的复数形式,故填 figures。8between 考查介词。between . and 表示“在之间” 。9unfortunately 考查副词。根据空后的“we couldnt really see well”可知,应用提示词的否定形式,且要用副词来修饰整个句子。故
