题目分析:文章大意:作者想要一朵玫瑰来使自己在情人节心情愉快。收到花后先是高兴,然后情绪冷静下来以后就想弄清楚送花的人是谁。结果没能弄清是谁送的,但是作者认为只要有人默默地关心就行。
小题1:考查动词搭配:A. brighten up点亮,B. fill up填满,C. take up从事,D. decorate up装饰,后文有提示,作者想要一朵玫瑰来使自己在情人节心情愉快。brighten up 意为“照亮;使高兴”。本题中C 项干扰性最大,take up 意思是“占据”显然不正确。选A
小题2:考查动词:A. hide 躲藏,B. hang悬挂,C. plant种植,D. stick刺,卡,根据语境判断,作为一个情窦初开的女大学生,作者想要一朵玫瑰挂在自己的衣物柜上,以显示自己的自豪感。本题中A、C 两项干扰性较大,hide“躲藏,藏起来”,不合乎大学生的心态;plant“种植”,不合常理。选B
小题3:考查形容词:A. mad发疯的,生气的,B. hungry饥饿的,C. angry生气的,D. sad难过的,作者没有收到期望中的玫瑰,因此回家的时候伤心是难免的。选D
小题4:考查连词:A. before在…前面,B. until直到,C. when当…时候,这时,D. once一旦,此处是固定句型。表示正在干某事时,这时突然发生了什么事情,用when 引导并列句,说明后面的动作出乎意料之外。选C
小题5:考查动词:A. posting邮寄,B. carrying运送,C. holding持有,D. delivering送,发表,根据语境判断,邮递员是来为作者送花。表示“送货;发信”等,我们习惯用动词 deliver。本题中B 项干扰性较大,carry 也有“运送”之意,但一般是指车、船运载,或人用工具运送,用在此处不合适。选D
小题6:考查名词:A. chance机会,B. luck运气,C. value价值,D. confidence自信,从后文可知,作者没有想到玫瑰是送给自己的,作者并没有抱任何希望,因此此处说自己没有这么好的运气。选B
小题7:考查动词:A. Open 打开,B. Read阅读,C. Check检查,D. Break打破,根据常识可知,送花时往往附有贺卡,因此打开卡片了解具体情况。本题中B 项干扰性最大,由下文...and read what it said 可知,此时还没到读的时候。选A
小题8:考查动词:A. closing关闭,B. moving 移动,C. shaking摇晃,颤抖D. spreading蔓延,传播,由前文可以看出作者对花的渴望,因此在拆开信封时非常激动,手在“颤抖”。选C
小题9:考查动词:A. praying 祈祷,B. expecting期待。C. doubting怀疑,D. believing相信,作者还是不敢相信花是送给自己的,因此祈祷眼睛没有欺骗自己。本题中B、C 两项干扰性较大,expect“期望”,doubt“怀疑”均不符合作者此时的举动。选A
小题10:考查形容词:A. sorry对不起,B. curious 好奇的,C. happy快乐的,D. nervous紧张的,前后文联系起来理解,作者先是高兴,然后情绪冷静下来以后就想弄清楚送花的人是谁。本题中B 项干扰性最大,curious“好奇的”,根据上下文可知作者高兴过后才好奇是谁送的花。选C
小题11:考查动词:A. realizing意识到,B. calling 打电话,C. visiting拜访,D. questioning询问,由下文作者问了好多人可知,作者开始给熟人“打电话”来了解情况。本题中D 项干扰性最大,question 作动词时,意思是“提问,质疑”,显然不合作者想了解实情的语气。选B
小题12:考查动词:A. informing通知,B. reminding提醒,C. accusing 指责,D. telling告诉,从后文可知,作者以为是熟人在开自己的玩笑,因此责备他们不应该开这样的玩笑。accuse 意为“指责,控告”。本题中A、B 两项干扰性较大,inform sb. of sth.“告知某人某事”; remind sb. of sth.“提醒某人某事”,虽然符合搭配,但意义不符合语境。选C
小题13:考查副词: A. specially特别的,B. actually实际的,C. obviously显然的,D. hopelessly无望的从前文可知作者因为没有收到花,而非常失望,因此作者说自己的浪漫之心已经不抱希望了。hopelessly“不抱希望地”,符合作者心情;其他选项显然不符合逻辑。选D
小题14:考查形容词:A. surprised惊讶的,B. excited兴奋的,C. amused好笑的,D. disappointed失望的,通过了解情况,作者发现熟人都没有送花给作者,他们也感到奇怪,不知道谁送给作者的花。选A
小题15:考查形容词:A. considerate考虑周到的,B. distant遥远的,C. secret秘密的,D. generous慷慨的,从下文可知,作者一直没有搞清楚到底是谁送的花,因此此处强调送花者非常神秘。本题中A、D 两项干扰性较大,considerate“体贴的,考虑周到的”,generous“慷慨的,大方的”,不符合送花人送花却不留姓名的神秘。选C
小题16:考查副词:A. anyhow不管怎样,B. still 仍然,C. already已经,D. never从不,从下文可知,作者一直没有搞清楚到底是谁送的花。本题中A、C 项干扰性较大, anyhow“无论如何”,already“已经”,显然不符合上下文。选D
小题17:考查连词:A. For因为,B. So所以C. Then然后D. But但是,结合前后语境可知,此句与前句是转折关系,but 引出作者本文议论的重点。for, so 表示前后是因果关系;then 表示前后是承接关系,不合语境。选D
小题18:考查动词:A. happen发生,B. matter事情,C. appear似乎D. mean意味着,本句的意思是:是否有人暗恋自己,这并不重要,因此用it doesn't matter if 这一句型。选B
小题19:考查动词:A. loved喜爱,B. helped帮助,C. pitied同情,D. cheated欺骗,情人节收到别人送的花因此作者猜测或许有人暗恋自己。选A
小题20:考查动词搭配:作者强调:只要有人默默地关心(care about)你就行。本题中A、D 项干扰性较大, asked about询问worry 也跟about 搭配,指“担心”;talk about“谈论,讨论”,但显然不合句意及作者想要表达的感想。选C
