ofSantaMariadeJetiba”可知，Plaster一家住在SantaMariadeJetiba；由此可知，DimasAliprandi和父母現(xiàn)在住在SantaMariadeJetiba.故選D.3．C細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三段最后一句“Theyatfirstrefusedtobelievetheresults，buteventuallydecidedtohelphimlookforhisbiologicalparents.”可知，Dimas的父母最初拒絕相信這樣的結(jié)果，但是最后決定幫助他尋找親生父母.故選C.4．A細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段第二句“Aftertests，thePlastersdiscoveredthatEltonwasthebiologicalsonofthemanandwomanthatDimashadbeencallingMomandDadfor24years.”可知，EltonPlaster的親生父母是Dimas的養(yǎng)父母，即Aliprandi夫婦.故選A.二、單句語法填空1．Itistimethatwe________(adopt)differentwaystosolvethesocialproblem.答案:adopted/shouldadoptItistimethatsb.did/shoulddosth.“到某人該做某事的時(shí)候了”.2．Inthepast5yearsagreatdealofmoney________(spend)improvingtheenvironmentoftheschool.答案:hasbeenspentagreatdealof修飾不可數(shù)名詞，作主語時(shí)謂語動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)形式，由時(shí)間狀語“inthepast5years”可知應(yīng)用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)，且spend和money存在邏輯上的動(dòng)賓關(guān)系，應(yīng)用被動(dòng)語態(tài)，故填hasbeenspent.3．Manypeoplelosttheirhomesandalltheir________(possess)duringthewar.答案:possessionspossession“所有物；財(cái)產(chǎn)”，常用復(fù)數(shù)形式.4．Weaim________finishthetaskbyFriday.答案:toaimtodosth.為固定短語，意為“力求做某事”.5．You'dbettertakeaccountofyourabilitybefore________(attempt)todosuchabusiness.答案:attempting該句中before為介詞，故應(yīng)填attempt的動(dòng)名詞形式作賓語.6．Lincolnisregardedasoneofthemostinspiring________(figure)intheworld.答案:figures“oneof＋名詞復(fù)數(shù)形式”表示“……其中之一”.7．Theyappealed________thegraduatesinthewholedepartmenttogotoworkintheplaceswhereconditionsarehardest.答案:toappealtosb.todosth.“呼吁某人做某事”.8．Myjobwastotakecareofthesechildrenuntiltheycould________(adopt)intoagoodhome.答案:beadopted在本句中，adopt意為“收養(yǎng)”，且和they存在邏輯上的動(dòng)賓關(guān)系，故用被動(dòng)語態(tài).9．Thethieftriedtobreakaway________thepoliceman，buthefailed.答案:frombreakawayfrom“脫離；擺脫；掙脫”.10．________yourticket，Iwouldn'tbeabletogototheconcerttomorrow.答案:Without設(shè)空處所在句為without引導(dǎo)的含蓄虛擬條件句.三、完形填空.MakeGoodMemoriesMyhusbandBill'sGrandmawasinanursinghomewhenwemovedbacktoMichigan.Grandmahadbeenunabletowalkforquitesometime；nowhereyesightwasalmostgone.OvertheyearsGrandmaandIhad__1__manycardsandletters.Iknewhowsheenjoyed__2__intouchwithpeople.Grandmawouldhavemewriteletterstogointhecardsshewouldsend.Andshewouldalwayshaveme__3__whatIhadwrittenbacktoher.Grandmadidn'thaveaproblemwithhearingthen__4__shewasalwaystellingme，“Thatisnot__5__howIsaidthat！”IwouldthenrewritewhateverIwroteinherexactwords.SinceIhadsome__6__timebeforeChristmas，IaskedGrandmaifshewouldliketosend__7__someChristmascards.Grandmareadily__8__.Iroundedupseveraldifferentkindsofcards.Iknewshehadfriendsandfamilywhoallhaddifferent__9__.Iwouldtakeeachcardand__10__indetailthefrontofthecard，thenIwouldreadthewordsinside.After__11__itoverGrandmawouldtellmewhoshethoughtwouldlike__12__card.AfterawhileI__13__andInoticedthatwehadseveralnursinghome__14__standinginthedoorway.IstartedtonoticeasIreadeachcard，the__15__ontheirfacesandGrandma'sface，too.Eachonehada__16__smileandafar-awaylookintheireyes，astheywereseeingthescenesintheirminds'eye.IthoughtwhenIwentovertodotheChristmas__17__IwouldbedoingGrandmaafavor，butit__18__thatshedidmeabigfavor.I'llalways__19__thisspecialmemoryofbringingsomeChristmasjoyandpleasant__20__toGrandmaandherfellowresidents.1．A.exchangedB．changedC．tradedD．switched2．A.settlingB．losingC．stayingD．getting3．A.writeB．discoverC．translateD．read4．A.whenB．becauseC．whileD．though5．A.carefullyB．truthfullyC．speciallyD．exactly6．A.extraB．flyingC．essentialD．valuable7．A.forB．upC．outD．a(chǎn)way8．A.acknowledgedB．a(chǎn)greedC．a(chǎn)dmittedD．rejected9．A.addressesB．a(chǎn)dvantagesC．occupationsD．interests10．A.describeB．communicateC．distinguishD．ignore11．A.talkingB．turningC．takingD．thinking12．A.anotherB．eachC．oneD．other13．A.lookeddownB．lookedoverC．lookedupD．lookedthrough14．A.immigrantsB．visitorsC．patientsD．residents15．A.attentionB．lookC．glanceD．sight16．A.gentleB．roughC．forcedD．whispered17．A.treesB．jobsC．decorationsD．cards18．A.turnedoverB．turnedoutC．cameoverD．leftout19．A.treasureB．a(chǎn)dmireC．encourageD．recognize20．A.storiesB．facesC．memoriesD．letters【解題導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇記敘文.有一年，在圣誕節(jié)前夕，作者去幫助丈夫的奶奶做圣誕賀卡，但是在這一過程中作者卻得到了莫大的幫助.1．A考查動(dòng)詞辨析.A項(xiàng)意為“交換”；B項(xiàng)意為“改變”；C項(xiàng)意為“交易”；D項(xiàng)意為“轉(zhuǎn)換”.根據(jù)邏輯關(guān)系可判斷出，這些年來，作者和丈夫的奶奶兩人之間互相贈(zèng)送卡片和信件，即交換了很多卡片和信件.故選A.2．C考查動(dòng)詞辨析.A項(xiàng)意為“解決”；B項(xiàng)意為“失去”；C項(xiàng)意為“保持”；D項(xiàng)意為“得到”.根據(jù)下文中丈夫的奶奶常給一些人贈(zèng)送卡片可判斷出，她喜歡和人們保持聯(lián)系.故選C.3．D考查動(dòng)詞辨析.A項(xiàng)意為“寫”；B項(xiàng)意為“發(fā)現(xiàn)”；C項(xiàng)意為“翻譯”；D項(xiàng)意為“讀”.根據(jù)第一段最后一句中的“nowhereyesightwasalmostgone”以及此空格后下一句的描述可判斷出，丈夫的奶奶讓作者讀一下她讓作者所寫的那些話.故選D.4．B考查連詞辨析.根據(jù)下文中的“That'snot...howIsaidthat！”可知，丈夫的奶奶的聽力是沒有問題的.此處應(yīng)用because引導(dǎo)這個(gè)原因狀語從句.故選B.5．D考查副詞辨析.A項(xiàng)意為“細(xì)心地”；B項(xiàng)意為“誠(chéng)實(shí)地”；C項(xiàng)意為“專門地”；D項(xiàng)意為“精確地，準(zhǔn)確地”.根據(jù)語境可知，此處指丈夫的奶奶常說作者所寫的跟她所說的并不完全一樣.故選D.6．A考查形容詞辨析.A項(xiàng)意為“額外的”；B項(xiàng)意為“飛行的”；C項(xiàng)意為“必要的”；D項(xiàng)意為“值錢的，寶貴的”.由下文中的“IaskedGrandmaifshewouldliketosend”可知，此處指在圣誕節(jié)前夕作者有些空閑時(shí)間.故選A.7．C考查介詞辨析.四個(gè)選項(xiàng)皆可與空格前的“send”構(gòu)成短語
