48、了经理的一封电子信件。信中经理简短的 几句对不顾风雨坚持来上班的人们表示了感谢,这使得作者感到一天来的疲惫与烦恼一扫而光,并由此感 悟到几句简短的话语可以使人的精神焕然一新。o考查动词辨析。根据语境,因为是 rainstorm暴风雨,所以街道被雨水淹没。选项A为"中断";C为"漂浮";D为"猛撞,崩溃",均不合语境。句中 cause sth. to be done 使得被o考查动词辨析。因为大雨,许多人被迫回家,不能够去上班。注意被句为被动形式,从意义上可以排除选项B、C Doo考查动词辨析。根据语境:有些人能够叫到出租车call a
49、 taxi o order为"订购,预定"。不合语境;search a taxi表示"搜查出租车在车上找东西",也不正确。考查名词辨析。联系上文,根据文章第一句中rainstorm 一词可知答案。语境:有些人能够叫到岀租车,还有写人勇敢面对暴风雨,步行去上班。当时正在下雨,所以用face the storm bravely. C 选项climate为"气候指某一地区长期的天气状况";scenery为"景色";burden为"负担",均不合文意。考查动词辨析。联系下文可知作者"碰巧也是&
50、quot;去上班中的一个,happen to be 表示"碰巧是"。而used to be 表示"过去常常现在已经不再那样了" ; promise to 表示"允诺去做"deserve to do表示"理应做,值得做,均不符合文意与语境。考查名词辨析。根据语境:作者去了地铁,却发现大多数地铁都已经停止运行效劳了,所以用service,表示"地铁的运行效劳"。而practice 表示"练习;惯例做法";routine 表示"常规;例行公事"; process表示&qu
51、ot;过程;程序",均不符合语境。考查介词辨析。根据语境:make one's way through the crowds of people在人群中挤出一条路。make one's way to. 表示"通往"; make one's way for.表示"让步于",均不合文意。考查动词辨析。operate表示"操作,运转,运行"。作者最终发现一条地铁还在运行。cycle表示"循环,周期";turn表示"变得;转弯";rush表示"冲进,匆促&qu
52、ot;,均不符合语境。考查动词辨析。根据语意:那么多人在等待上车;board the subway 表示"木版;登车,上车船、飞机等"。Check表示"核查;登记";carry"携带,搬运";find"找到",均不合文意。考查名词辨析。根据语境:我"甚至无法踏上站台的台阶。Platform"站台。其它不合语境。考查动词辨析。根据语境:最终过了好长时间,地铁终于停在了我的那一站。联系下文Then I hadto一句可知作者先坐了一程地铁,然后又在雨中步行了几个街区。pause表示"暂停,
53、中止";cross表示"交叉;越过";park表示"停车",均不合文意。考查形容词辨析。be wet through.浑身湿透了。由于作者冒雨而行,在到达办公室时已经湿透了。根据文章下一句: My co-workers and I spent most of the day drying off.作者与同事一起花费了大半天的时间才晾干也可知。其它不合语境。考查动词辨析。要认真体会作者的情感、态度:此时由于作者浑身湿透,所以到办公室时已经是疲惫不堪了,所以此时作者的情绪应该是沮丧的,泄气的。这也可以根据下文形成比照:作者收到经理的E-mail而变
54、的愉快起来。ashamed"惭愧的";surprised"吃惊的";puzzled "迷惑",均不符合语境。考查连词。when表示"就在这时"。其它不合语境。考查副词辨析。eventually 表示"最终";hardly 表示"几乎不";casually 表示"偶然地,随意地"absolutely 表示"完全地"。根据文意:我很感谢你们所有的不顾艰辛最终来上班的人。考查名词辨析。句意为:,当员工们说明他们对于工作的投入时。devotio
55、n表示"投入";donation 表示"捐贝赠";concern 表示"关心";reaction 表示"反响"。show one's concern for sth 表 示"对关心"。考查形容词辨析。联系文章,经理的这封e-mail并不长,所以用 brief表示"简短的"。accurate 表示"精确的";urgent表示"急迫的";humorous表示"幽默的"。考查名词辨析。句意为:这封 e-mail让我
56、知道即使是简短的几句感谢的话也会有很大的影响。appreciation 表示"欣赏,感谢";promise 表示"诺言";advice表示"建议";guidance表示"指导,引 导"。考查名词辨析。句意为:暴雨和交通阻塞带来的麻烦使得"我"疲惫、烦乱。signals 表示"信号";rules表示"规那么";signs表示"符号,迹象",均不正确。考查动词辨析。句意为:经理 Garth的话立即使得我提起精神来,让我又面带微笑。Refreshed表示"使 生气蓬勃,提起精神,恢复精神";correct表示"纠正";support表示"支持";amaze表示"使吃惊 ",均不符合语境。点评:本文所选内容逻辑性强,文章结构严谨,层次清楚。文章是以第一人称进行表达、描写的。文章具 有启发和教育意义,充
