29、,“我”却发现了一个大包裹,打开后发现那里面竟是我一直想要的电动车。6答案及剖析:1.A 考查名词辨析。pain 痛苦;attempt 尝试;joy 喜悦,高兴;shyness 害羞。前面说“我得到了渴望已久的电动车”,而这里用 But 转折,表示的是“你不会相信为了得到这个神圣的礼物我所经受的痛苦(pain)和付出的努力”,故选 A 项。2.B 考查名词辨析。从上下文来看,“我”通过 看介绍 车(car)的杂志来了解信息。故选B 项。3.B 考查短语辨析。got down to doing 着手做某事,to 后要跟动词的-ing 形式,故排除A。 set out to do 着手做某事,开始
30、做某事;searched for sth.寻找某物; went on to do 继续做某事。此处说的是作出决定后就立即着手行动了。故选 B 项。4.A 考查固定搭配。句意:我立即着手执行一些计划,向我父亲暗示了这件事。drop hints to 为固定搭配,意为“给某人暗示” 。5.C 考查动词辨析。operate 操作,控制,使运行;run 跑,运行,经营;work 工作,有效;start 开始,动身,起动。此处说的是“我”展开的第一项工作就是告诉爸爸我的那辆旧车的操纵杆失灵了。work 是动词,意为“工作,有效”,在这里说的是“操纵杆不灵了(即不工作了 work)”。故选 C 项。6.A
31、 考查名词辨析。从上下文来看,“我”的第一次工作没有成效,反而被爸爸指责为“我”不会操作。bad driving 意为“不会操作,错误操作,驾驶技术差” 。分析选项可知 A 项符合题意。7.C 考查形容词辨析。strong 强壮的,坚强的; practical 实际的 ,实用的;obvious 明显的;ideal 理想的,完美的。前面“我”是找了“旧车操纵杆失灵”这样一个借口,从后面的内容特别是引号内的话语可以看出,“我”的下一个计划就更明显、直白了(obvious)。8.D 考查动词辨析。stand 站立,起立;pay 付款,偿还;allow 允许,承认;afford 买得起,负担得起。这是
32、“我”力劝爸爸买电动车的话。从.with controller and battery packall for only US$250 及后面的 .miss out on this bargain 等可推测,此处应选用 afford。cant afford to miss out on 固定搭配,意为“不能错过” 。故选 D 项。9.C 考查名词辨析。talk 交谈;expression 表情; response 反应;face 面容,表面。根据“.and for US$250 you could buy.”等来看,爸爸的反应(response)是不想买电动车。故选 C 项。10.C 考查名词
33、辨析。根据上文的 You cant 8 to miss out on this bargain 的提示可推测此处应填 bargain。 711.C 考查代词辨析。这里说的是爸爸的观点,“与其买电动车,倒不如买一架像望远镜这样具有教育意义的东西” 。something like 意为“像样的东西”,故选 C 项。12.B 考查形容词辨析。从 when Im 97 years old 及后面的 This is my youth! 等来推测,此处说的是“要看月亮,那就等到 97 岁时住在养老院(nursing home)里看好了” 。这是作者对爸爸提议买望远镜的一句气话。nursing home 为
34、固定搭配,意为“养老院” 。因此选 B 项。13.C 考查形容词辨析。从前面多次提到买车被爸爸拒绝,后面又有.how mean my father was 及.he didnt 14 that I would die.等来推测,此处说的是“我”对爸爸的吝啬很“生气(angry)” 。分析选项可知 C 项符合题意,故选 C 项。 14.B 考查动词辨析。say 说,说话;care 关心,担心,在乎;believe 相信; learn 学习,习得。从前面说“我”很恼怒,再结合后面的 .that I would die if I did not get the Pumpkin radio-contr
35、olled truck 等推测,“我”觉得爸爸才不“在乎”呢!分析选项可知B 项符合题意。15.B 考查短语辨析。went off 爆炸,变质,离开;woke up 醒来;rang up 打电话;found out 查明。根据时间状语 on Christmas morning 可知,讲的是“我”在圣诞节的早晨醒来(woke up)。故选 B 项。16.C 考查动词辨析。expect 期望,预料;instruct 教授,命令;defeat 击败,挫败;warn 警告,告诫。按照常例,西方儿童在圣诞节早晨收到礼物是激动和兴奋的,可此刻“我”却兴奋不起来,因为“我”要车的幻想破灭了。此处用 defe
36、at 正好符合“我”当时的心理。故选C 项。17.B 考查动词辨析。open 打开; leave 剩下;wrap 包,缠绕;fade 褪色,逐渐消逝。从前面的 I opened all my presents until there was just one big package.等可推测,此处说的是“直到还剩下(left)最后一个包裹” 。分析选项可知 B 项正确。18.D 考查动词辨析。recover 恢复;refuse 拒绝; reopen 重新开业;remove 去除,脱掉。从上下文来看,此时只剩下这最后一个包裹,于是“我”就去掉(remove)包装,故选 D 项。19.C 考查名词辨析。句意:我赢了。我爱我的父母。分析选项可知选 C 项。20.C 考查副词辨析。ever 曾经;already 已经; even 甚至; still 仍然,仍旧。前面一直在责怪爸爸不给“我”买车,当得到车后,“我”很高兴,觉得能做任何事情,后面进一步说“我甚至能在英语课上得 A+” 。分析选项可知 C 项符合题意。故选 C 项。8
