因此。与其他孩子的玩闹形成对比,这里表示Mevan是独自待着的。故选A。6.A.lonelinessB.coldnessC.generosityD.laughter答案 D解析 这里与前文的“playing,running,shouting”形成呼应,指其他孩子们玩得很开心,充满欢声笑语。故选D。7.A.existenceB.effectC.powerD.view答案 D解析 comeintoexistence开始存在;comeintoeffect生效;comeintopower上台。comeintoview意为“进入视野,出现”,指那位工作人员Egbert出场了。故选D。8.A.onB.forC.withD.beyond答案 B解析 从下文Mevan的表现来看,显然这里要表达Egbert把自行车送给她了。It’sforyou意为“这是给你的”。故选B。9.A.joyB.angerC.hesitationD.admiration答案 A解析 joy愉悦;anger愤怒;hesitation犹豫;admiration赞赏。这里的“fiveyearoldheart”指的是Mevan突然收到别人送给自己的大礼,心里一定很高兴。故选A。10.A.loudlyB.shylyC.guiltilyD.artificially答案 B解析 loudly大声地;shyly害羞地;guiltily内疚地;artificially人为地。由下文“coveringhermouthwithherdirtyhands”可知,Mevan害羞地笑了。故选B。11.A.hopeB.adviceC.assumptionsD.achievements答案 A解析 hope希望;advice建议;assumption假设;achievement成就。自从收到自行车,她就相信生活还有希望,这里与下一句中的chances是并列的。故选A。12.A.strongB.properC.fairD.slim答案 D
解析 strong强壮的;proper合适的;fair公平的;slim苗条的,微小的。这里的but表转折,虽然机会很小,但总是有的。故选D。13.A.carefullyB.worthilyC.honestlyD.fashionably答案 B解析 carefully谨慎地;worthily可敬地,正当地;honestly诚实地;fashionably赶时髦地。Mevan改变了命运,不再像以前当难民那样,而是堂堂正正地生活在伦敦。故选B。14.A.pickupB.callonC.lookafterD.trackdown答案 D解析 pickup捡起;callon拜访,号召;lookafter照顾;trackdown追捕,找到。下文紧跟着就指出那个工作人员被找到了,即Mevan决定寻找他。故选D。15.A.sadnessB.regretC.surpriseD.advantage答案 C解析 sadness悲伤;regret后悔;surprise惊喜;advantage优点。这么快就找到了人,显然是出乎意料的,这让Mevan感到惊讶。故选C项。16.A.matchedB.adoptedC.reunitedD.blamed答案 C解析 match匹配;adopt收养,领养,采纳;reunite重聚,再结合;blame责怪。从下文Mevan发照片介绍Egbert来看,两个人是重聚到了一起。故选C。17.A.bikeB.coatC.photoD.cap答案 A解析 两人之间最重要的纽带就是那辆自行车,所以这里指的是自行车。故选A。18.A.idiomB.ruleC.lessonD.tip答案 C解析 idiom习语;rule规则;lesson经验,教训;tip提示。这里总结的是Mevan的感悟,也可以说是她从这一事件中学到的教训。故选C。19.A.trustB.independenceC.kindnessD.optimism答案 C
解析 kindness善良,友好的举动。Egbert对Mevan的善意继续影响着她。上文中的“Outofthekindnessofhisown”也是提示。故选C。20.A.changesB.facesC.exploresD.seeks答案 A解析 change改变;face面对;explore探索;seek寻找。由上文“Egbert的善良改变了作者的一生”可知,善良不需要任何代价,而且一次就改变一个人的世界。故选A。Ⅰ.话题词汇总结1.influencen.势力;影响v.影响;支配2.culturen.文化culturaladj.文化的3.draman.戏剧4.spreadv.开展;伸开;传播n.散布;广泛5.revealv.揭示;展示6.expressvt.表达7.affectvt.影响8.crazyadj.疯狂的9.onthecontrary与……相反10.fascinatev.深深吸引;入迷联想 常用的和传统文化有关的词汇还有:1.customn.习惯,习俗2.decorationn.装饰;装修3.traditionaladj.传统的4.observev.庆祝;遵守5.respectv.&n.尊敬6.existv.存在7.passionn.热情;激情8.accompanyv.陪伴9.mannern.方式,态度,举止10.spreadChineseculture传播中华文化话题微写作——根据所给的汉语及以上词汇,完成下面的小短文。中国是一个有着各种传统习俗的国家。说到拜访中国朋友,我给你一些我的建议。
你最好准时或早一点到达,你的中国主人会很高兴的。此外,如果你想带点东西给主人以表尊重,一束花就可以了。但请记住,在中国,把时钟当作礼物是不恰当的。总之,你应该遵守“入乡随俗”这个准则就可以了。Chinaisacountrywithavarietyoftraditionalcustoms.SpeakingofvisitingaChinesefriend,Iwillgiveyoumyadvice.You’dbetterarriveontimeoralittleearlier,andyourChinesehostwillbeverydelighted.Besides,abunchofflowerswillbeOKifyouwanttotakesomethingtothehosttoshowrespect.ButdorememberitisimpropertogiveaclockasapresentinChina.Inaword,youshouldobserveacommonrule“WheninRome,doastheRomansdo”.Ⅱ.长难句分析Theinspirationisrootedin2016,whenPanJianghaoheardayouthenvoy(公使)fortheUnitedNationssaythattheworldwantedtohearmorefromChineseyoungpeople.[句式分析] 本句中when引导非限制性定语从句,从句中含有“hear+宾语(ayouthenvoyfortheUnitedNations)+宾补(say)”结构,“say”后是that引导的宾语从句。[自主翻译] 灵感植根于2016年,当时潘江浩听到一位联合国青年特使(公使)说,世界希望听到更多来自中国年轻人的音乐。[仿写运用] 他早起的习惯是在中学时养成的,当时他听到老师说“早起的鸟儿有虫吃”。Hishabitofgettingupearlywasformedinmiddleschool,whenheheardhisteachersaythattheearlybirdcatchestheworm.
