I wasnt the jelly maker in this family. My mother-in-law was. She didnt 36 a wide range of flavors, either, but this limited choice was a welcome 37 in the days of toddlers (初学走路的孩子). For the past 22 years of my married life, 38 I wanted to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for myself or my husband, all I had to do was 39 for one of those little jars of jelly. It was 40 there. As I picked up the jar, I suddenly 41 something that I had 42 to see earlier. I reopened the pantry (食品室) door to be 43 . Yes, this was it, this was the last jar of “Memommie jelly.” We 44 always have store-bought jelly, but this was the last jar we would ever have from the patient, loving 45 of my mother-in-law. Although she had been gone for nearly a year, so much of her had 46 with us. We hardly ever opened a jar of jelly at the breakfast table 47 kidding about those thousands of little jars she had filled. Our children had never 48 a day without their grandmothers jelly. It seems like such a 49 thing, and most days it was something that was taken for granted. But today it seemed a great 50 .Holding that last jar in my hand, my heart 51 back to meeting my mother-in-law for the first time. I could see her 52 on our wedding day, and later, kissing and loving our children 53 she didnt have five other grandchildren. I could see her walking the fields of the farm, 54 waiting while others tended to the cows. I put the jelly back on the shelf. No longer was it just a jar of jelly. It was the end of a family 55 . I guess I believed that as long as it was there, a part of my mother-in-law would always live on.These are the kinds of things that you expect to survive the years and to pass on to your children. But the jar of jelly will have to be eaten or thrown out.but not today.36. A. offerB. affordC. provideD. support37. A. reliefB. encouragementC. giftD. toy38. A. howeverB. whateverC. whereverD. whenever39. A. getB. reachC. payD. buy40. A. stillB. alwaysC. everD. never41. A. realizedB. assumedC. acceptedD. guessed42. A. insistedB. demandedC. encouragedD. failed43. A. safeB. coolC. sureD. calm44. A. wouldB. mightC. shouldD. could45. A. heartsB. handsC. wishesD. kitchens46. A. lay B. appearedC. stayedD. remained47. A. despiteB. beyondC. withoutD. on48. A. madeB. keptC. livedD. known49. A. strangeB. preciousC. meaningfulD. small50. A. treasureB. successC. pleasureD. habit51. A. ranB. traveledC. returnedD. thought52. A. laughingB. promisingC. cryingD. resting53. A. in caseB. even ifC. so thatD. as if54. A. luckilyB. finallyC. patientlyD. confidently55. A. traditionB. loveC. comfortD. custom答案解析：主旨大意：主人公在取果酱时，回忆到了自己的婆婆为自己做点果酱，对全家来说多么有意义。其中婆婆生活中的点点滴滴引起的感触。36. C。provide。从下文those thousands of little jars she had filled理解中，主人公家的果酱是婆婆做的，可知婆婆给她提供果酱。37. A。relief。从全文理解和结合人之常情来理解，果酱成为全家人在孩提时候，呀呀学语以及青少年时期的受欢迎的一种宽慰。38. D。whenever。句意是：在过去的年中，无论何时我想做坚果酱或三明治酱，我要做的就是伸手去拿装满果酱的小罐子。39. B。reach。从文中可知，主人公不需自己做，婆婆做了很多，那她只要去拿。Reach意思是到达（及物动词），伸手去拿（不及物动词）。40. B。always。从上题可知，婆婆为她们做了很多，因此当主人公要果酱时，果酱总是在那儿。41. A。realized。此题要紧扣主人公的情感理解。本来主人公像平时那样取果酱，此时突然有了一种不一样的感觉。下文中还有重开一下给自己真实的感觉，那此处就是一种意识。42. D。failed。语境意思是，主人公平时就是取果酱，没有像今天有一种感觉。这种感觉平时没有能体会到。43. C。sure。上文中谈到主人公是一种心中的感觉，那现在开门看一下就是为了确认一下自己之前的意识。44. A。would。句意是：我们过去常会买一些果酱，但这是最后一罐来自于充满爱心之手婆婆所做的果酱。四个选项中只有would有过去常常的意思。45. B。hands。从上题句意中的解释已知。46. D。remained。四个选项意思分别是：lay意思是放置； appeared项意思是出现；struggled意思是抗争，奋斗； remained意思是仍然是，剩余。句意是：婆婆虽然过世了一年多，但她的很多仍与我们同在。从下文也可理解，主人公进行了回忆。47. C。without。此句讲的是婆婆做的果酱对我们的意义。一天不就婆婆给我们做的数以千计的果酱说点笑话我们就不会开果酱罐。同时，根据下句中的平行结构也可呼应。48. D。known。此句讲的是婆婆做的果酱对孩子的意义。没有祖母的果酱他们不知道一天是什么。49. D。small。结果文中的信息most days, taken for granted可知，大多数日子，我们都把果酱看成是想当然的事，那就是微不足道。那果酱就是一种小事而已。50. A。treasure。根据but转折意义可知，此处信息与上文相反。再结合全文主人公对婆婆所做果酱的回忆，可知此时，主人公认为果酱不是平常的物品，而是承载家庭爱，传统和回忆的财富。51. B。traveled。句意是：手中拿着最后一罐果酱，主人公的思绪回到了第一次与婆婆相遇的时候。项意思是困住；项意思是返回，但与back出现信息重复；项意思是叫喊，三者与语境不符。52. C。crying。此题要从常识来理解，在婚礼上，父母常会因女儿的出嫁出现难舍的情绪而哭泣，或因儿子的成家和自立会出现喜极而泣的现象等。这些都是爱的表现。53. D。as if。此句也是说明婆婆对后代无比的爱。她亲吻我们的孩子就像她没有其他个孙儿一样。54. C。patiently。从语境可知，婆婆是一位充满爱心的人。那在别人在照看奶牛时，她不会因为奶牛在农田里而焦躁，而是在那儿耐心地等待。55. A。tradition。句意是，这是家里传统的结束。根据主人公现在的回忆，当然不会是爱的结束。当然custom不适合家庭这种环境。同时，comfort（舒适）不符合语境。 完形填空（二）请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Alice, my mother, told me that her family was too poor to even afford to give her a doll. Faced with her loss, Alice 36 to care for others. All her family members and even her grandchildren were the main 37 of her life. She felt that she could 38 up for her sad childhood through her dedication to her own family, but an unfilled void (失落) seemed to 39 .One afternoon one of my customers brought me a sample of her beautiful handmade dolls. She was taking 40 for Christmas. I decided to get one for my daughter, Katie. Then I had a(n) 41 . I asked my customer if she could make me a 42 doll for my mother a grandmother doll. The doll maker felt that this idea was certainly unique and 43 it on as a creative challenge. I placed two orders together. Christmas Day arrived and at the 44 time, so did Santa Claus. I had prepared the presents for Santa to 45 . Katie was 46 and happy that Santa came to see her for the first time. My mother was enjoying watching her granddaughters 47 to the visit from this special guest. As Santa 48 to leave he looked once more into his knapsack and retrieved (重新得到) one more gift. As he 49 who Alice was, my mother, surprised by her name being 50 , indicated that she in fact was Alice. Santa handed her the gift, which was 51 by a message card that read:For Alice: Before my trip this year I 52 across this package on my sleigh that was 53 to be delivered on December 25, 1925. The present inside has 54 , but I felt that you might still wish to have it. Many apologies for the lateness of the gift.Love,Santa ClausMy mother couldnt speak but only clasped the doll she had waited fifty-seven years as tears of 55 coursed down (迅速流下) her cheeks. That doll, given by “Santa,” made my mother the happiest “child” alive.36. A. hated B. swore C. insisted D. failed37. A. comfort B. relief C. agenda D. focus38. A. make B. live C. stand D. pick39. A. appear B. remain C. stand D. live40. A. bills B. productsC. orders D. gifts41. A. suggestionB. trick C. offer D. idea42. A. special B. commonC. precious D. strange43. A. accepted B. looked C. took D. depended44. A. unexpectedB. fixed C. set D. planned45. A. deliveredB. received C. awarded D. posted46. A. frightenedB. surprisedC. depressed D. pleased47. A. attitude B. devotionC. reaction D. solution48. A. turned B. pretendedC. tried D. decided49. A. demandedB. persuadedC. claimed D. asked50. A. called B. consulted C. remindedD. implied51. A. accompaniedB. wrapped C. attached D. sent52. A. walked B. came C. cut D. spread53. A. believedB. determinedC. supposedD. reported54. A. changed B. remainedC. kept D. aged55. A. regret B. sadness C. success D. joy答案解析：主旨大意：母亲幼时贫穷没有得到礼物，她发誓要通过照顾好家人来弥补自己的缺憾。后来女儿在给自己的女儿买布娃娃时，巧妙地让母亲重回童年的快乐。36. B。swore。通过下文中her dedication to her own family的意思可以推断出母亲当时发誓要照顾好自己的家人。项和项意思不符合语境，而项用法是insist on doing。37. Dfocus。根据上文母亲决心要照顾好家人，母亲的家人就成了她一生的中心。38. A。make。语境意思母亲通过照顾好家人来弥补自己不幸的童年，再结合词组意思即可。Make up for 意思是弥补；live up to意思是符合标准，实行，但live up不是词组；stand up for意思是支持，维护；pick up意思是捡，收听，好转等。39. B。remain。通过全文以及but的转折义来理解，母亲的失落感仍然有。40. C。orders。根据上下文的照应来理解,I placed two orders together可以判断主人公的客户是来下订单的。41. D。idea。前句意思是主人公想给自己的女儿买一个布娃娃，而下一句想给母亲订一个布娃娃。那就是突然产生的主意。同时，下文也有信息照应，如The doll maker felt that this idea was certainly unique。42. A。special。此题要结合常识来理解，一般布娃娃是小孩子或年轻人想拥有的玩具。现在主人公想给一个给做了祖母的母亲一个布娃娃，那就是很特别了。43. C。took。句意是：这位客户觉得主意很特别，就接受它作为一个有创造性的挑战。Take on 意思是呈现，承揽。44. D。planned。具有生活常识就可以理解圣诞老人到小朋友家来是计划好的。45. A。delivered。根据圣诞常识来理解，圣诞老人主要是派发礼物。46. B。surprised。根据人之常情来理解，圣诞老人第一次亲自给小katie发礼物，当然会让她又惊又喜。47. C。reaction。语境意思是，母亲在旁边看着孙女第一次面对这位特殊访客的反应。此题也有相似情境的照应，即母亲后来的反应。48. A。turned。情境意思是：圣诞老人发好礼物，准备转身离去。 49. D。asked。根据下文中祖母表明她是Alice，说明圣诞老人在问。50. A。called。上题已有解释，圣诞老人在问。此时，祖母对名字被叫到很惊讶。51. A。accompanied。从语境中知道，圣诞老人拿出的礼物中不仅是布娃娃，而且还附带一封信。四个词的意义分别是：项意思是陪同，伴随；项意思是出售；项意思是附带，但其用法是attach to；项意思是送出。52. B。came。虽然从全文可知，这件礼物是主人公的心意。但从信的内容来理解，这件礼物预先要在年的圣诞节送达的。圣诞老人现在才发现当然可以理解成偶然发现。Come across正有偶遇的意思。53. C。supposed。 四个选项的意思分别是：A项 be believed to意思是据信；B项be determined to意思是决心；C项be supposed to意思是理应；D项be reported to意思是据报道。结合语境意思是按理应该在年圣诞节送达。54. D。aged。根据全文故事情节理解可知，这是祖母当年做孩子时应收的礼物，当然到现在已是祖母时已很久了。55. D。joy。根据全文故事情境来理解，祖母当时应是高兴的眼泪。当然，最后一句也有诠释。阅读理解请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。ANew York Pass is a card with a computer chip in it that grants admission to 55 top New York City attractions.
