1.B 2.C 3.B 4.A 5.D 6.C 7.D 8.A 9.D 10.B 11.D 12.A 13.B 14.A 15.C 16.C 17.B 18.B 19.C 20.D 【解析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。讲述了作者看到大树遭遇强风暴时,虽然树枝摇摆弯曲,树叶飘落,甚至根部的泥土都有些松动,但是泥土深处的强劲根部,不仅给大树输送营养,还保障了大树的稳固性,使其在狂风肆虐之下得以生存。作者由此联想到人生,当我们遇到残酷的挑战时,应该像大树那样,从根部树立坚定的信念,和勇往直前的勇气,坚忍不拔,不被困难打倒。 1.考查动词词义辨析,句意:我向窗外望去,看见一棵树被狂风肆虐着。根据下文的描述,这棵树既没有被折断,也没有被风移走,只是被狂风肆虐。crush意为"压破,压碎",break(broken)意为"破坏",remove意为"去除,移开",abuse意为"虐待",abuse符合语境,因此B项正确。 2.考查名词词义辨析,句意:树枝弯曲,来回摆动,多亏了它们的柔韧性,才得以避免折断。A项意为"高度";B项意为"厚度";C项意为"柔韧性";D项意为"轮廓"。根据空前的句子The branches bent, and swayed back and forth可知描述的是树的韧性,因此C项正确。 3.考查动词词组辨析,句意: 树叶紧紧附在树枝上,因为它们的生命依赖于树。A项意为“符合,对...负责”,C项意为“迎合”,D项意为“与...有关”,B项depend on意为“依赖于”,符合句意,因此B项正确。 4.考查动词词义辨析,句意:强大的树干支撑着树,使得它在保持自己位置的战斗中,只是向后弯曲。B项意为“打结,系住”,C项意为“拉”,D项意为“提升,养育”,均与句意不符,held是hold的过去式,在这里意为"支撑",故A项正确。 5.考查动词词义辨析,句意:强大的树干支撑着树,使得它在保持自己位置的战斗中,只是向后弯曲。A项意为"实现";B项意为"到达";C项意为"建立";D项意为"保持"。这里大树在风暴前就有自己的位置,只是在风暴中努力保持自己的位置,不需要实现、到达或建立,因此D项正确。 6.考查形容词词义辨析,句意:风暴过后,这棵树又优雅地回到了原来的位置,高高耸立在一片狼藉中。A项意为“现在的”,B项意为“最终的”,C项意为"最初的,原来的",D项意为“舒适的”,本句中用returned(回到),结合文章大意,大树应该是没被风吹到,又回到了他原来的位置,因此C项正确。 7.考查动词词义辨析,句意:它努力在风暴中生存下来。A项意为"探索";B项意为"避免";C项意为"追逐";D项意为"幸存,存活",根据句意,D项正确。 8.考查动词词义辨析,句意:重要的是,这棵树赢得了这场生存之战。A项count在此为不及物动词,意为"重要",B项意为"不同";C项意为"关心";D项意为"显露",故A项正确。 9.考查动词固定短语,句意:很长一段时间我都不明白,为什么这棵树会以这种方式引起我的注意。catch one’s attention为固定搭配,意为"引起某人的注意",故D 项正确。 10.考查形容词词义辨析,句意:随着时间的推移,原因变得很明显了,引起我注意的不仅仅是树本身,还包括它的根,虽然看不见,却深深地扎根于地下,给树提供稳定性(使树牢固地站立)和营养。A项意为"奇怪的,陌生的",C项意为"可能的";D项意为"合理的"。而B项意为"明显的",符合语境,故B 项正确。 11.考查名词词义辨析,句意:随着时间的推移,原因变得很明显了,引起我注意的不仅仅是树本身,还包括它的根,虽然看不见,却深深地扎根于地下,给树提供稳定性(使树牢固地站立)和营养。A项意为"环境,周围的食物",B项意为"资源";C项意为"可能性"。而D项stability意为"稳定性",结合文意,大树的跟深扎地下,使得大树不被吹到,即给大树提供了稳定性,故B 项正确。 12.考查固定短语,句意:树根允许树能够经受挫折,因为有它们在支持它。take a beating固定搭配,受打击,经受挫折,因此A项正确。 13.考查连词,空格前一句句意为:我不禁问自己,我生命中的根在有多深。后一句句意:下一次当你发现你的孩子行为不端时,当你的工作快把你逼疯时,当你的工资过低,你的钱又很紧张时,当生命的风暴肆虐时,回到你的根部。可知前后两句属于因果关系,思考过自己的根有多深,因此可以在风暴肆虐时回到根部。A项表转折,B项表因果,C项表转折,D项表并列,因此 B项正确。 14.考查动词词义辨析,句意:当你发现孩子不段时。A项misbehaving意为"行为不礼貌"。B项意为"斗争";C项意为"撤回,撤销";D项意为"误解",因此A项正确。 15.考查名词词义辨析,句意:当你的工资过低,你的钱又很紧张时。A项意为"安全"。B项意为"最后期限";C项意为"钱";D项意为"社区",根据上下文语境可知,money与前面的单词underpaid相对应,即当你感觉报酬不足,用钱紧张时,因此C项正确。 16.考查名词词义辨析,句意:人生充满风暴。A项意为"惊喜"。B项意为"选择";C项意为"风暴";D项意为"改变"。C项与上文有关风暴的例子相关,还有前面几句话“the next time you catch your kids misbehaving, when the job is driving you crazy, when you are underpaid and the money is tight, and when the storms of life are raging, ”中所提到的各类人生挫折,可知C项正确。 17.考查名词词义辨析,句意:他们会使你摇摆,使你弯曲,使你失去一些叶子,但是你的根越深,你站得越稳。A项意为"微笑"。B项意为"弯曲";C项意为"犹豫";D项意为"前进"。前文提到树干被大风刮得有点弯曲,这里指人生遇到的风暴也会让人如同大树一样,有点弯曲,但是根系越深,人便站得越稳,因此B项符合语境。 18.考查名词词义辨析,句意:面对挑战,你可能会弯曲,但是不要折断。A项意为"机会"。B项意为"挑战";C项意为"任务";D项意为"不同"。challenge意为"挑战",与上一段提到的storms相对应,即人生中遇到的各种困难,因此B项正确。 19.考查固定短语,句意:无论风暴有多么强烈,都不要让生活逼迫自己处于不舒服的境地。force sb into固定短语,意为“强迫某人……”,因此 C项正确。 20.考查名词词义辨析,句意:你的力量就在你的根上。A项意为"勇气";B项意为"野心,雄心";C项意为"价值";D项意为"力量,力气"。上一段最后一句话中的"the deeper your roots the stronger you stand"是对本题答案的提示,即:根系越深站得越稳,就是说你的力量来自于你坚实的根基,所以D项正确。 【点睛】完形填空的解题技巧之一就是要根据上下文来学会“推理”出最佳选项。同学们要遵循“上下求索”的原则来查找信息。例如,第16小题要求判断出人生充满什么。该题可根据前文中提到的关于“storm”的例子,还有前面几句话“the next time you catch your kids misbehaving, when the job is driving you crazy, when you are underpaid and the money is tight, and when the storms of life are raging, ”中所提到的各类人生挫折,得出结论。20小题,上文提到"the deeper your roots the stronger you stand根系越深站得越稳",就是说你的力量来自于你坚实的根基,所以选用strength。
