10、候;after 在之后;as 由于。根据语境可知此处是固定句型 be about to do sthwhen,意为“将要做某事这时”,when 引导的从句后用延续性动词或者短暂性动词均可; while“当时”引导的从句中的动词应该是延续性或表示状态的词。walk 是短暂性动词,所以答案为 B。2C 考查形容词辨析。angry 生气的;cold 冷的;wet 湿的;energetic 精力充沛的。根据下文 from the rain 可知,他浑身湿透了。答案为 C。3D 考查动词辨析。devote 奉献;find 发现;help 帮助;seat 就座。从下文 himself in a chair
11、,判断此时他坐在椅子上。句意:他从洗手间出来后,只是坐在椅子上,不走近食物柜台。4B 考查动词辨析。doubt 怀疑;guess 猜想 ;imagine 想象;hope 希望。由文章内容可知作者没有和那个人进行过交流,一切都是她自己的猜测,所以选 B。5A 考查副词辨析。only 只,仅仅;completely 完全地;occasionally 偶尔;hardly几乎不。从上文内容可知他没钱买吃的,在下雨天,坐到快餐店只是为了避雨。答案为A。6C 考查形容词辨析。sad 悲伤的;quiet 安静的;hungry 饥饿的;silent 寂静的。根据上文作者的推测“That man must ha
12、ve had nothing to eat in a long time.”和 “he didnt have any money for food”可知他是饿着肚子在那里避雨。7A 考查动词辨析。hand 抓住;take 带走;borrow 借;save 挽救,节约。根据动词搭配可知只有 hand 可以构成 hand sth to sb,意为“ 递给某人某物”;take“拿走,带走”,不符合语境,故答案为 A。8B 考查动词辨析。respect 尊敬;approach 接近;beg 祈求;invite 邀请。根据语境可知作者的丈夫走近了那个人,去问问他是否需要吃的东西。9C 考查动词辨析。 s
13、hout 叫喊;laugh 笑;smile 微笑;cry 哭。当一个人接受别人帮助的时候,应该是感到高兴,所以用 smile。句意:他笑着对我们说:“一小杯咖啡就可以。 ”10C 考查副词辨析。rarely 罕见地;easily 容易地;clearly 清楚地;immediately 立即。当作者主动提供帮助要给那个人买东西吃的时候,那个人却只是提出要一杯咖啡,所以他不想利用别人的善良,这是显而易见的。答案为 C。11B 考查动词辨析。instruct 命令;insist 坚持;admit 承认;observe 观察。insist 后面的宾语从句要用“should 动词原形”结构,结合语境可知
14、答案为 B。12A 考查动词辨析。accept 接受;express 表达;refuse 拒绝;expect 期望。根据下文内容“After he the food”可知,他在作者的坚持下接受了帮助,所以答案为 A。13A 考查动词辨析。order 点菜;revise 复习;book 订购; fetch 去取来。由上下文可知,陌生人接受了他们的提议买了东西吃而不是仅仅买杯咖啡,所以此处指点菜。答案为 A。14C 考查名词辨析。 friend 朋友;children 孩子们;wife 妻子;boss 老板。根据下文“She noticed that you were”可知此处丈夫是让陌生人感谢作
15、者,所以答案为 C。15D 考查介词短语辨析。 in surprise 惊讶地;in shock 震惊地;in danger 处于危险之中;in need 需要。从文章内容以及下文 someone truly in need 可知,作者发现这个陌生人没有钱买东西吃,需要别人的帮助。答案为 D。16D 考查连词辨析。why 为什么;when 何时;what 什么;how 如何。根据情理以及句子结构可以判断,此处陌生人问作者她是如何知道他很久没有吃东西的。17C 考查动词辨析。return 归还;lend 借出;keep 保持; give 给。从语境可知此时作者让陌生人留着找回的零钱,其他选项不符
16、合语境,故答案为 C。18D 考查名词辨析。gift 礼物;face 脸;heart 心;hand 手。根据故事内容可知此处指帮助那些处于困境中的人们。give sb a hand 帮助某人。答案为 D。19D 考查动词辨析。 take 带走;bring 带来;refuse 拒绝;receive 收到。从句子后半部分“but also to the ones who give it.”可知此处指接受帮助的人。答案为 D。20B 考查动词辨析。connect 联系;share 分享;talk 交谈;communicate 交流。从故事内容可知作者指她能够和需要帮助的人共同分享。答案为 B。.汶川
17、大地震发生六年多了,人们在为逝者哀痛、为生者欣慰、为救援者感动的同时,也在思考这场巨大的灾难带给人们的启示。在今后的生活中,我们该如何帮助他人,如何珍爱生命,有效应对类似的自然灾难呢?1A 细节理解题。由第一段的 “The excitement of the 2008 Olympics was increasing day by day. Then”可知答案。2C 细节理解题。此题为是非判断题,可用排除法。由短文第二段可知 A、B、D都与短文相符,故只能选 C。3B 细节理解题。由第三、四段可得知:地震给了我们三个方面的启示。故选 B。4C 主旨大意题。由全文可知,短文主要讲述四川大地震给人类的启示。故选 C。
