20、0 . You can communicate that power to anyone who needs it.This is probably the greatest work you can do with your enthusiasm.1A.rushed B.sent C.carried D.introduced答案 D解析 继母刚刚走进“我们” 的家门,所以此时父亲是在向继母介绍“我”。introduce sb to sb“向某人介绍某人”。2A.distinguished B.favoredC.mistaken D.rewarded答案 A解析 distinguished 意
21、为“与众不同的”;favored 意为“受到宠爱的,称心如意的”;mistaken 意为“错误的,不正确的”;rewarded 意为“有回报的”。根据当时的情景,父亲对“我”评价很差,所以此处选 A 项,表示“我”与别的孩子不一样。3A.sooner B.laterC.longer D.earlier答案 B解析 为了说明“我” 表现很差,应选 B 项表示“不到明天上午,他就会向你扔石块”。4A.dragged B.shookC.raised D.bent答案 C解析 根据后面的 upward 判断应选 raised,raise ones head 表示“抬起头”。5A.perfect B.r
22、ightC.wrong D.impolite答案 C解析 根据后面继母的话看出,继母对“我”的评价与父亲的完全不同,所以此处选 wrong,表示“你错了”。6A.but B.soC.and D.or答案 A解析 根据句意和上下文逻辑判断,此处应选 but 表示转折。not.but. 表示“不是而是”。7A.agreement B.friendshipC.gap D.relationship答案 B解析 根据上下文判断,继母对“我”的评价使“ 我们”之间的“友谊”开始了。其他三项均不符合语境。8A.opinion B.imageC.expectation D.mind答案 D解析 opinion
23、 意为“意见,看法”;image 意为“ 形象”;expectation 意为“期望”;mind 意为“头脑,心思”。由于“我” 表现不好,所以家里人和邻居们是把 “我”当成坏孩子看待的,结果“我”心里也是这么看自己的,所以选 D 项。9A.begged B.persuadedC.ordered D.invited答案 B解析 beg 意为“恳求,祈求”;persuade 意为“ 说服”;order 意为“命令”;invite 意为“邀请”。从文章看出,继母堪称贤妻良母,所以此处 B 项最符合文意,persuade sb to do sth “说服某人做某事”。10A.successful B
24、.meaningfulC.helpful D.useful答案 A解析 从上下文可以看出,继母把家搬到县城,父亲的事业会更加“成功”。11A.treated B.entertainedC.educated D.respected答案 C解析 treat 意为“对待,款待,治疗”;entertain 意为“娱乐,款待”;educate 意为“教育”;respect 意为“尊敬,尊重”。根据文意,“ 我”和兄弟们还在上学,把家搬到县城会使“ 我”和兄弟们接受良好的“教育”,所以选 C 项。12A.camera B.radioC.bicycle D.typewriter答案 D解析 后面说到继母相信
25、“我” 能成为作家,四个选项中对成为作家有直接帮助的是typewriter。13A.considered B.suspectedC.ignored D.appreciated答案 D解析 consider 意为“考虑,认为”;suspect 意为“怀疑”;ignore 意为“忽视,不理会”;appreciate 意为“感激,欣赏”。从整篇文章都能看出“ 我”对继母的敬佩和感激之情,所以答案为 D 项。14A.belief B.requestC.criticism D.description答案 A解析 belief 意为“相信,信念”;request 意为“ 请求,要求”;criticism
26、意为“ 批评”;description 意为“描述”。结合本段第一句话中的“she believed that.”判断应选 A 项。15A.teaching B.writingC.studying D.reading答案 B解析 本段主要介绍“我” 在继母的鼓励下开始从事写作,所以答案为 B 项。16A.next B.sameC.only D.real答案 C解析 根据后面父亲和兄弟们的成功可知,此处应选 only,表示“我不是唯一的受益者”。17A.cleverest B.wealthiestC.strongest D.healthiest答案 B解析 该句说明在继母的帮助下父亲在事业上取得
27、的成功。根据句意分析,最合理的是父亲成了城里“最富有的” 人,而不是最聪明、最强壮或最健康的人。18A.enthusiasm B.sympathyC.fortune D.confidence答案 A解析 全文主要讲述的是继母的“热情”对“ 我”及“我们”一家人带来的帮助并因此在事业上取得的成就,所以该题答案为 A 项。句意:热情的力量是多么大啊!由文章首句亦可推知答案。19A.deliberately B.happilyC.traditionally D.constantly答案 D解析 deliberately 意为“ 故意地 ”;happily 意为“快乐地”;traditionally
28、意为“传统地”;constantly意为“经常地,不断地” 。根据句意判断应选 D 项,表示“热情的力量不断得到信念的加强就会成为不可抗拒的力量”。20A.win B.matchC.reach D.doubt答案 B解析 win 意为“战胜,赢得”;match 意为“ 相配,匹敌”;reach 意为“到达,达到”;doubt 意为“怀疑”。根据句意判断应选 B 项,表示 “贫穷和暂时的失败都不能和这种力量相匹敌”,即说明这种力量是不可战胜的。A 项错误, 因为 win 表示赢得或获得某种东西,不符合句意。五、短文改错As middle school students,not only shou
