25、red 意为“伤者” ，在句中作主语，谓语动词用复数。2B 考查非谓语动词和虚拟语气。该句可以是 “the headmaster insisted that the problems which had been referred to should be paid special attention to.”。由此可以看出，referred to 为过去分词作后置定语；insist 后的宾语从句用“should 动词原形” ，should 被省略。句意：在例行办公会议上，校长坚持提及的问题应给予特别的关注。3A 考查副词的用法。be well worth doing“很值得做” 。由句意“他
26、的第一本书对我们的课程很有用，但他最新出的这一本更值得一读”可知应选 A 项。4C 考查动词的时态。由句意 “他打算今天去北京，但当他听说中午会有大雨后，他就推迟了出行”可知，intend 所表示的动作发生在 postpone 之前，故应选 C 项，即用过去完成时态。5D 考查动词短语辨析。句意：昨天在百货商店购物时，她遇上了她的一个老朋友。turn down 拒绝；deal with 对付，处理； take after 长得像，性格类似于，效仿；come across穿过，越过，偶然遇见。6D 考查固定结构。第一个空考查 spend time (in) doing sth“花费时间做某事”
27、；第二个空考查 would rather dothan do结构，意为“宁愿做 也不做” 。句意：他们宁愿把时间花在读书上也不在街上闲逛。7D 考查名词辨析。condition 状况，条件。in good condition 状况良好。句意：尽管这辆二手车似乎状况良好，但它跑不快。state 状态； situation 处境，形势； occasion 时刻，场合。8B 考查动词短语辨析。carry out a plan 执行计划，符合题意。set aside 挤出，匀出；take in 欺骗，吸收，理解；get through 完成。9D 考查非谓语动词。the last Thursday o
28、f November 与 observe 之间是动宾关系，且所表示动作是将来时，所以用不定式的被动语态作宾补。句意：在 1863 年，林肯总统签署了一个宣言，主张把每年十一月的最后一个星期四定为感恩节。故选 D。10B 考查非谓语动词。observe sb do sth 变为被动语态时不定式的符号 to 不省略，即sb be observed to do sth。11D 考查过去分词作宾补。结构是 get these goods delivered, ordered 作后置定语。12B 句意：是农民为我们提供粮食，但有些城里人却“瞧不起(look down upon)”他们。look forw
29、ard to 期盼；look back upon 回顾；look up to 尊敬，均不符合句意。13B 考查动词的时态和倒装句的用法。 only 引导状语位于句首时，需要使用倒装结构，而该状语 only then 表明了动作发生在过去，故选 B 项。14A 考查固定句型。It hits/hit sb that意为“某人突然想到” 。15C 由转折连词 but 可知前面是对他工作努力的事实表示肯定。.一个非常富有的父亲和他挚爱的儿子都喜欢收藏艺术珍宝。然而，年轻人在保家卫国的战争中，为了救一名战士不幸牺牲。在圣诞节早上，孤独伤心的父亲被一阵敲门声惊醒，他收到了最宝贵的“艺术珍藏品”被救的战士送
30、来的他儿子的画像。16C 他们一起环游世界，只寻找最精美的 (finest)艺术珍宝来收藏。17D 根据下文可知，年轻人参战以保家卫国。故此处指战争吞没了整个国家。18C serve the country “为国家服务 ”，即保卫祖国。19A 在仅几个星期以后，父亲接到一份电报，他深爱的儿子失踪了。根据下句中的“_21_ he would never see his son again”可知此处 missing“失踪”正确。20B 艺术收藏家焦急地(anxiously)等待更多的消息。A 意为“平静地” ；C 意为“安静地” ；D 意为“秘密地” 。21A 害怕再也见不到他的儿子。故 fea
31、r“害怕，畏惧”正确。根据下句中的“Within days，his fears”也可知答案。22D 几天后，他的恐惧被证实 (confirmed)了。年轻人在送战友去看病时身亡。23C 这位老人在不安和孤独中伤心地面对将要到来的圣诞节。根据语境可知lonely“孤独的 ”正确。A 意为“紧张的” ；B 意为“劳累的” ；D 意为“害怕的” 。24A 在圣诞节的早上，敲门声吵醒了伤心的老人。根据上句中的“with sadness”可知此处用 sad。25B 当他开门时，一个战士向他打招呼，手里拿着一个大包裹。根据第五段的“As the two began to _28_ ，the soldier
32、 told of how”可知答案。26D 我是你儿子的一个朋友 (friend)，就是为了救“我”他才牺牲的。27A rescue 拯救，符合语境。28C 根据语境可知他们两人此刻在交谈，故 talk 正确。29B 战士提到，他的儿子告诉每个人他和父亲对艺术的热爱(love) 。30A “我不是艺术家” ，战士说， “但是我想给你这个。 ”根据下文可知那个战士画了一幅老人儿子的画像送给了老人，故 artist“艺术家”正确。31B 根据转折连词 though 可知此处表示“尽管世人永远不会认为这是一个天才的作品，但是这幅图画以惊人的细节描绘了年轻人的面部” ，故 never 正确。32C i
33、n detail 详细地，是固定用法。33A 老人情绪很激动，他很感谢 (thanked)战士。34C 在战士离开后，老人把儿子的画像放在了壁炉上面，把价值上万的艺术珍藏品推到了一边。push aside 把推在一边，符合语境。35B 做完这些后，老人坐在椅子上，凝视着他收到的礼物(gift)度过了圣诞节。.科技的发展给人们生活带来了种种便利，但我们又从中失去了什么呢？在作者推荐的这本书中，我们或许能找到些答案。36D 推理判断题。通读全文可知， Sherry Turkle 担心人们迷失在现代科技世界中，故答案选 D 项。37A 句意理解题。从文中内容可知，虽然互联网把我们联系在一起，但它却隔离着我们，我们都是孤独的个体，故选 A。38B 细节理解题。从倒数第二段的 “In a text message, you can avoid eye contactis becoming unconcerned.”可知，如果孩子经常用短信交流，则他/ 她会很少关注他人的感受，答案选 B 项。39A 写作意图题。从文章最后一段 “This book is not to be missed and worthy of every dollar you spend.”可知，写作本文主要是为了推荐 Sherry Turkle 写的书，所以 A 项正确。
