1答案及解析：
答案：1.D; 2.B; 3.C; 4.A; 5.B; 6.B; 7.C; 8.D; 9.A; 10.A; 11.D; 12.A; 13.C; 14.C; 15.D; 16.B;
17.A; 18.D; 19.B; 20.C
解析：1.当时“我”的病情还可以控制。sickness疾病;loneliness孤独;sadness伤心; tiredness 劳累。
2.注意上下文的暗示:“我”生病了28 年。在“我”20几岁疾病可以控制时,“我”享受了十年在餐馆当专职歌手、玩耍、唱民歌的时光。set意为“放;搁置”;enjoy意为“享受”;keep意为“保持”;share意为“分享”。
3.很不幸一切都改变了。gladly意为“高兴地;乐意地”;eventually意为“最终”;unf ortunately 意为“不幸地”;surprisingly意为“出奇地”。长时间生病是很痛苦的,因此能在餐馆唱歌、玩耍是一种享受,但“times have changed”暗示这一切都成了过去,不幸已经降临。
4.和years ago照应,现在(now) “我”和母亲住在乡下的农场里。then意为“然后”; sometime意为“某个时候”;meanwhile意为“同时,期间”。
5.make up for补充,弥补;a(ki up to总计达;get rid of 摆脱,除去;take advantage of 利用;占……的便宜。“我”需要做点儿零工来补贴“我”的残疾抚恤金(的不足)。
6.由于“我”需要在下午睡一会。泛意为“如果”;as意为“由于”;though意为“尽管”;before意为
“在之前”。
7.由于“我”需要下午睡觉,所以“我”的零工选择有限。be limited in my choices我的选择有限;丨novement意为“移动;运动”;condition意为“状况;状态”;position意为“方位;位置”。
8.“我”决定“我”还是考虑回到餐馆去演唱。go hack to doing sth.重新开始做某事; reach out伸出;live up快乐地过日子;get on上车;有进展。
9.“我”的家人都是音乐家,所以当“我”走进当地的音乐商店时很快就被人认出来了。recognize 认出;interview采访;面试;find发现; invite邀请。
10.“我”实在是没有很多钱(money)来买那些昂贵的光盘。所以“我”只是想用录好的卡拉oK 音乐伴奏来唱歌。注意money与上文中的expensive照应。time意为“时间”;energy意为“能量”;knowledge意为“知识”。
11.并且人们经常(often)发现一张光盘上只有十分之三、四的歌曲是你实际(actually )可以使用的。这是说的一种普遍现象,所以用often 一词。thus意为“因此”;once意为“曾经”; seldom意为“很少”。
12.actually实际上,事实上;hardly几乎不;nearly几乎;formerly以前。
13.当“我”把“我”的想法(idea)告诉店主时,他深思地看了“我”很长时间。job意为“工作”;family 意为“家庭”;offer意为“提供”。

16.从下文的treasure可以看出,店主对这些唱片很钟情,故用lovingly。unhappily不高兴
地;pitifully怜倘地;gratefully感激地。
17.你选择你最喜爱的音乐,“我”来给你录制。take one’s pick(从……中)挑选(自己最喜爱的东西);take one’s turn 轮流,依次;take a step迈出一步。
18.“我”有可能(感动得)哭了。had to cry不得不哭;ought to cry应当哭;should have cried本来应当哭的(却没有哭);could have cried有可能哭过,本来可以哭(却没有哭)。
19.挑选出“我”能唱的那些歌曲。the ones (=the song)作先行词。more意为“更多”;few意为“少数;很少”;the rest意为“其余的”。
20.kindness善良,善行;courage勇气;devotion贡献;trust相信,信任。只有kindness可以更准确地概括出店主的行为。

( mistake),将作者误认为Mike了。其他选视中,decision“决定”;guess “猜测”;deal “交易”。

12.由第一段中的“... of mostly professionals and retirees(退休者) for over three years,. 可知,作
者住在一个大多数是专业人士和退休人员的小区中三年了。因此,邻居们共同商量并弄清楚哪些人是年龄太大或是有病不能自己挖出来。因此答案为B项。

When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other 2 when you choose your food. You may 3 it because it smells good or because it 4 good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different 5 use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense. Although there are many 6 types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda eats only one 7 type of bamboo. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the 8 . A kind of white butterfly will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other 9 in the garden. However, most animals have a more 10 diet. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The 11 of these animals will be different depending on the season. 12 have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is 13 for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much 14 . This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal 15 , such as butter, can also be bad for the health.

高考完形填空专项训练步步高 抓好三方面●跨好三大步●做好三结合 ------谈完形填空解题技巧中学生在做完形填空题时存在的问题，概括起来有以下三方面： 1.不善于抓文章的主旨大意，并以此为中心展开对整篇文章的推理、判断，导致理解上出现偏差，甚至和文章的中心相悻。 2.容易受定势思维的影响，对文意分析不透，忽视特定语境中知识的运用。 3.对完形填空题怀有厌倦、畏惧心理，以至做题时处于应付状态，做题能力得不到提高。 那么，怎样才能提高做完形填空题的能力呢？我们应从以下三方面入手训练思维能力和解题技巧：抓准主旨、透析文意、理清逻辑。并在做题过程中把这三方面与做完形填空的三大步骤“通读、精读、复读”有机结合，明确每步的思维主攻方向。即抓好三方面，跨好三大步，做好三结合。 一、通读短文抓主旨 一般情况下，完形填空短文都不给标题，不容易把握文章的主题和大意。但短文首句通常不设空格，这就为我们窥视文章全貌提供了一个窗口，而尾句往往是文章的总结、结论或点睛之笔，所以抓住开篇启示作用的首句和总结概括性的尾句是必要的。借助于首尾句给予的启示，克服不良心理的影响，满怀信心，全神贯注，目光越过空格，注意能体现文章大意的关键词句，尽力从整体上理解短文大意，这是逐空填词的重要依据和基础。如果一开始就忙于见空填空，势必无法从整体上把握全文概要，无法形成连贯的思路，只见树木不见森林，理解偏离文章的中心，造成顾，此失彼的错误，甚至影响做题速度。 抓住了文章的主旨大意后，我们围绕主旨大意去阅读、预测、推理、判断，往往会收到事半功倍的效果。尤其是一些干扰性强，容易使人犯想当然错误的选项就会迎刃而解。 二、精读短文析文意 在基本抓住文章的主旨后，应逐句精读短文，逐题分析选项，对特定的语境做深人的理解，克服“定势思维”，根据全文大意和词不离句，句不离文的原则，逐项填空。切不可以单纯的词汇辨析或语法角度去做题，而应以能否恰如其分地表达文意作为选择最佳答案的唯一标准。要吃透文意，理解到位，我们应做到以下几点： 1.从上下文的角度考虑，注意其内在联系。就题论题，断章取义，忽视上下文的信息提示是我们常犯的错误。因此我们在做题时要注重暗含的信息提示，找准突破口，确保文意畅通。 2.从词汇意义及用法、惯用法和搭配的角度去考虑，准确判断。NMET完形填空题中考查词汇意义及用法、惯用法和搭配的题目逐年增多，必须结合上下文把握文意，研读
题型重组练(三) (建议用时：30分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解 (·浙江名校新高考研究联盟联考)Brits(英国人) are extremely bad at languages, with many of us relying on the fact that the rest of the world speak English. Only half(51%) are able to speak a second language to any standard and as more people travel abroad, this is becoming an increasing regret, according to a new study. Almost two-thirds(62%) of UK adults wish they were better at speaking languages. So they can better understand a city’s culture(38% of respondents), talk with locals(24%) and go beyond the guide book(21%)． Overcoming language barriers can be one of the most difficult parts of a holiday, particularly when in unfamiliar surroundings. So stressful in the fact that 10% of respondents said they didn’t travel because of the problem. The survey by Hostelworld showed that one in five blamed getting lost on the language barrier, while a similar number had problems ordering food and one in ten got on the wrong train, plane or other form of transportation.

第三组 (建议用时：45分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解 Strange Wedding Traditions around the World Flinging raw rice and breaking a glass underfoot may seem like strange ways to celebrate a marriage, at l east if you’re not used to American customs. Strange as some U．S. wedding traditions may be, they certainly cannot take the (wedding) cake for overall wedding weirdness.Those honors go to these 5 strange wedding traditions around the globe. Blackening of the Bride and Groom (Scottish) For Scotland’s tradition of blackening of the bride, which has expanded to now include the groom, absolutely anything goes. This includes tars, feathers, pillow stuffing, dirt, rotting food, sour milk, flour—you name it and you get it, you can certainly pile it on.The blackening takes place prior to the wedding, which at least spares the tux (无尾礼服) and the wedding dress, but any time or location is fair game.Once blackened, the lucky newlywed-to-be is paraded through the streets or tied to a tree as said “friends” announce the wedding.Blackening suppose dly prepares the person for any humiliation (羞耻) that life has yet to bring, as nothing could be as humiliating as being blackened. Breaking Dishes (German) Throwing plates is typically something you do after you’ve been married a few years, unless you’re from Germany.The wonderful tradition of breaking dishes actually takes place prior to the wedding at the rehearsal dinner.Tradition says the more dishes you break, the more good luck the new bride will receive.This counts double if she’s lucky enough to get a brand new set of china as a wedding gift.After this part, the bride and groom join forces to sweep up the mess, a gesture that ensures nothing will ever get broken in their home again. Keep Your Feet on the Floor (Irish) Irish legend has it that the bride must keep her feet on the floor while she’s dancing with the groom to ensure little fairies attracted by her beauty won’t kidnap her.The quick and clever fairies are always eager to get their hands on beautiful things, and legend says the bride has long been a prime target. Irish legends throughout the ages full of tales of fairies stealing brides, although it’s not clear where the brides end up and if the destination is better than where she planned to spend her honeymoon. Passing a Rolling Pin(擀面杖)(Polish) How many Polish people does it take to pass a rolling pin? It depends on how many people are at the Polish wedding! The tradition is pretty much what it sounds like，as people stand in a circle and pass a rolling pin from one person to the next，but there’s a rule—no hands are allowed，and each person must grad and then pass the pin along using only their legs.While it is not immediately evident what the tradition means or why people do it，it is evident it would be great video to capture for future generations to enjoy. No Bathroom Breaks for Three Days(Tidong tribe，Northern Borneo) Can your bladder (膀胱)really explode? Folks who follow a marriage tradition in Northern Borneo put this question to the test.Newlyweds in the Tidong tribe must stay in their home for three days—without a single bathroom break.That means no No.1, no No.2 during this three-day period. The background of this tradition is extremely unclear... as is the feeling people probably get after not relieving
