问题 选择题

In everyday communication, information ___ by gestures is often misinterpreted.

A.suggested

B.conveyed

C.expressed

D.signaled

答案

答案:B

题目分析:句意:在日常交流中,通过手势传递的信息经常被误解。suggest建议; convey表达; express 快递; signal发信号。整个句子已经有谓语动词,所以这里用非谓语动词,又因为information与convey之间是被动关系,根据句意故选B。

点评:本题难度适中。考查辨析词形相近的词,是近几年的高考的热点,需要考生平时注意积累,牢记它们的用法及区别。

即学即练:The submarine _____for help.

A. suggested       B. conveyed        C. expressed       D. signaled

解析:D。句意:潜水艇发出求救的信号。

糖罐的秘密

  (1)上高中时,学校坐落在清江边上的一个小村子里。宁静的村落三面临水,四季风景如画,如同古人笔下的世外桃源。但也极其偏僻闭塞,周围疏疏落落全是民居,连买一根针也非要上十里外的小镇不可。   

  (2)这可苦了我们这群高三的可怜虫们。读书实在太耗心智了,以至于整天唯一的感觉就是饿,连睡梦中都满是各种各样令人垂涎的好吃的东西。不知是谁冰雪聪明,带来一罐糖来,是那种黄亮如金、细软如沙的黄砂糖。 

  (3)于是,寝室里便流行罐装的黄砂糖。十二个糖罐,恰似我们十二个女孩子,亲亲热热地排成一排。临睡前,美滋滋地喝上一杯热腾腾的糖水,月儿便甜甜地照进梦乡。   

  (4)唯独秦霜是不大喝糖水的。因此她的那个别致的青瓷陶罐里的糖,比起我们的总是又多又满。每天晚上,当我们一边啜着糖水,一边叽叽喳喳地品头论足,或嘀嘀咕咕地发着牢骚,或嘻嘻哈哈地相互取笑时,秦霜总是在灯下读着她那本似乎永远也读不完的小说。问她为什么不喝,她说:“坏牙齿呢!”   

  (5)后来有人跟我咬耳朵,说秦霜的糖罐根本就只是做做样子罢了。她自幼父母双亡,跟着年迈的外婆一起过活,学费都交不起,哪还有闲钱买糖吃?她那一罐糖,吃了再没的添的,又怕人瞧不起,就胡说什么坏牙齿的鬼话!我听了只觉心头一紧,说不出的悲凉。   

  (6)一次下课间操,口渴了,我匆匆忙忙回寝室找水喝。经过寝室门前的花坛时,不经意地向寝室的窗户一瞥,却见秦霜正狼吞虎咽地在吃什么东西,不由一惊。细细看去,竟是在吃糖呢!她挨次从每个糖罐里舀上一大勺,大口大口地往嘴里塞。   

  (7)我看得目瞪口呆。可不知怎地,慢慢地,所有的惊讶、愤怒、鄙夷,渐渐散去,两行温热的泪却无声无息地淌了下来,滴落在那暗香袭人的花丛中。我悄悄地离开那扇窗户,贼一样地潜回教室。   

  (8)晚饭后,待一寝室人走得一个不剩,我一跃而起,飞快地闩上门,拉上窗帘,一把抱起我的糖罐,先给另外的几个逐一补上一大勺糖,然后,将剩下的通通倾进那个青瓷糖罐。又从箱子里抽出一袋糖,倒入自己的空罐儿。胆战心惊地忙完这一切,我狂跳不止的心才慢慢平静下来。   

  (9)前不久,我收到了一封寄自深圳的来信,信是这样写的——

  “晓琴:你一定还记得那个糖罐儿吧,那是我外婆的嫁妆,据说还是宫廷里的东西。现在,居然有人愿出五万元买它呢!我舍不得出手,因为,你倒进去的糖,远远不止这个数儿。     

  那个偷糖吃的女孩儿,她其实觉察到了花丛中的那双眼睛——那双世界上最纯最美的眼睛。因为它的注视,那个差点成为小偷的女孩,在后来充满苦难的岁月里,却再也不敢妄动过一回。”   

  (10)不用说,这封信是我多年的挚友——已任深圳的一家电脑公司执行总经理的秦霜寄来的。

1、本文以___________为线索展开情节,先后写了喝糖、___________ 、___________、忆糖等四个情节。

2、第(4)段秦霜“总是在灯下读着她那本似乎永远也读不完的小说。”的真正原因是什么?

完形填空
In the doorway of my home, I looked closely at my 23-year-old son, Daniel. In a few hours he would be flying to France to   36  a different life. It was a transitional(过渡的)time in Daniel's life. I wanted to    37  him some words of significance. But nothing came from my lips, and this was not the    38  time I had let such moments pass.
When Daniel was five, I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten. He asked, “What is it going to be like, Dad? Can I do it?” Then he walked   39  the steps of the bus and disappeared inside. The bus drove away and I said nothing. A decade later, a similar   40 played itself out. I drove him to college. As I started to leave, I tried to think of something to say to give him    41 and confidence as he started this new stage of life. Again, words 42  me.
Now, as I stood before him, I thought of those 43  opportunities. How many times have I let such moments   44 ? I don't find a quiet moment to tell him what they have  45  to me. Or what he might   46  to face in the years ahead. Maybe I thought it was not necessary to say anything.
What does it matter in the course of a lifetime if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him?    47  as I stood before Daniel, I knew that it did matter. My father and I loved each other. Yet, I always   48  never hearing him put his   49   into words. Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten. Why is it so   50  to tell a son something from the heart?
My mouth turned dry, and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words clearly. “Daniel,” I said, “If I could have picked, I would have picked you.” That's all I could say. He hugged me. For a moment, the world    51 , and there were just Daniel and me. He was saying something, but tears misted my eyes, and I couldn't understand what he was saying. All I was    52  of was the stubble(短须)on his chin as his face pressed   53  mine. What I had said to Daniel was   54 . It was nothing. And yet, it was  55 .
