15、ck got _.Athe United States MedalBhis biology degreeCthe Pulitzer PrizeDthe Nobel Prize答案語篇解讀：本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。作者通過跟現(xiàn)實中的“家”的對比，講述我們的心靈有時會產(chǎn)生消極負面的念頭， 我們要學會經(jīng)常清理自己的心靈。1選A根據(jù)下文的 “I can see the sink is still full of dirty dishes” 可知，當作者環(huán)顧自己的家時，發(fā)現(xiàn)家里很亂。2選C墻上的掛畫、桌子甚至電腦開始布滿灰塵。 gather dust 有“積灰”之意，符合語境。3選B根據(jù)下文的 “and

16、pet hair needs to be cleaned _4_ the couch” 可知，此空填 needs。4選D根據(jù) “Dirt _3_ to be swept up from the floor and pet hair needs to be cleaned _4_ the couch.” 這一句話可知，寵物掉落的毛要從沙發(fā)上清理掉， clean sth. off sth. 表示“將從上清除”。5選D根據(jù) “the _5_ in the turtles aquarium has to be changed” 這一句話可知，養(yǎng)著水龜?shù)牟ＡЦ桌锏乃仨殦Q掉。6選B當看到這么凌亂的房間時

17、，作者還是笑了起來。7選A根據(jù)語境可知，作者笑的原因是，此時此刻，作者的心靈卻非常干凈。8選D早晨當作者醒來(wake up)時，作者發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的心靈(同自己的小屋一樣)也布滿了灰塵，即作者頭腦里有很多消極的思想。9選C根據(jù)上題的解釋可知，應(yīng)選 dusty，表示“落滿灰塵的”。10選B根據(jù)下文的 “I have learned that a dusty soul leads to a terrible day and that terrible days lead to a(n) _11_ life.” 這一句話可知，“我”不想讓這些消極的思想在心靈中停留(stay)很久。11選D根據(jù)11空所在

18、句的意思“我知道，布滿灰塵的心靈會帶來糟糕的一天，而糟糕的日子又會導(dǎo)致的人生”可推知，該空應(yīng)是一個與 terrible 同類的詞，故 wasted “荒廢的”符合語境。12選C作者花了整個早晨的時間將自己的心靈徹底清掃。13選A根據(jù)上文的 “I swept the negative thoughts from my mind” 中的 negative 可知，此處應(yīng)用 harmful，表示“有害的”。14選B作者把所有負面的思想統(tǒng)統(tǒng)扔進(throw)垃圾桶。15選C當全部清理完之后，作者又平靜了下來。16選A根據(jù)第一段的內(nèi)容可知，作者居住的房子非常凌亂，作者需要做很多的工作(work)才能把它們整理好。17選D根據(jù)語境可知，盡管作者的房子很臟，但作者最關(guān)心的(c
