19、ward参考答案：41-45 ACDCA46-50 BACDB51-55 DCCAB56-60 BDCDA【试题解析】41根据文章的内容并结合选项的意思，可知A选项“选择”符合文意，故选A。42根据空格前的一句Knowing the bread would take time可知道，作者必须在她老公上了班以后马上开始做了，故选C。43由下文可知道作者所做的面包最后被她自己扔到了垃圾桶，故她并不是一个有经验的（experienced）人，故选D。44根据本空格前的I thought if a dozen was good，two dozen would be better，可知她要double（

20、加倍）她所做的东西的分量，故选C。45根据对上下文的理解，可知她是把橙汁倒进（pour）去的，故选A。 46根据下文讲作者所做的面包最后被她自己扔到了垃圾桶，可知她做的那团东西很难看（ugly），故选B。47还是根据下文讲作者所做的面包最后被她自己扔到了垃圾桶，再结合选项的意思，可知她被打败了（defeat），故选A。48根据空格后面写的Doug laughing at my work，可知道作者不想让她老公看到她的“杰作”以后取笑她，不想面对（face）他的取笑，故选C。49根据文章的第二句I learned that lesson when I decided to treat Doug，

21、my husband of one month，to a special meal，可知此题应选D，这里考察的是同词复现。50后面讲到作者的老公在吃饭的时候出去外面几次，说明了受到了打扰（disturb），故选B。51根据后面说作者的老公误以为垃圾桶里有某种生物，可知道他说听到里面有噪音（noise），故选D，voice一般是指悦耳的声音，故不符合此处的意思不选。52根据上下文的意思，可知此处应该是去看垃圾桶（rubbish bin），故选C。53根据上下文的意思，可知老公开始说是听见垃圾桶里面有声音，故要看里面（inside）故选C。54联系上下文，既然是说在垃圾桶听见了声音，故声音必定是从

22、有生命的（alive）的生物中传出来，故选A。55根据上下文并结合选项的意思，可知选A，因为当时作者对那些东西的反应是冷淡的。56后来作者看到了才想到那是她之前的“杰作”，故语气非常肯定，without doubt（毫无疑问），故选B。57根据常识，面粉暴露在阳光下受热了，就会发大了，故选D。58由于面粉当时还在发酵状态，故当时垃圾桶的情况还是在晃动（shake），故选C。59根据上下文可知这团正在阳光下发酵的面粉，就是指作者丈夫一直在说的“生物”，故选D。60根据当时的情景，可知道作者不知道是她老公感到尴尬还是她感到尴尬了，故选A。21.

A这是一篇散文。作者回忆了母亲喜欢写信，信中充满着母亲对孩子的爱，这种爱能触摸到的温暖从指尖到作者的心里。母亲写信的事渐渐传开了，很多人都来找母亲帮忙，她已经成为一名“通讯员”。母亲告诉作者信起到了连接感情纽带的作用，无可替代地把人与人连在一起，信就是生命本身。【36题详解】考查动词辨析。A. gather

33、ed聚集；B. disappeared消失；C. started开始；D. happened发生。句意：事情要从 1941 年 12月说起。作者在回忆，开始的时间是1941 年 12月。故C选项切题。【37题详解】考查动词辨析。A. called呼叫；B. drafted 征兵；C. arrested逮捕；D. trained训练。句意：母亲每晚都给我弟弟约翰写信，那年夏天约翰应征入伍。由下文“ We had not heard from him since the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor”可知，自从日本袭击珍珠港以后，他就一直杳无音信。所以约翰是一名军人

34、，那年夏天约翰应征入伍的。故B选项切题。【38题详解】考查名词辨析。A. link 联系；B. signal信号；C. route路线；D. result结果。句意：她深信思想和文字是直接相连的，这种联系就像上帝赋予人类的光芒一样强大。母亲把自己对儿子的挂念，都用文字表达了出来。所以她深信思想和文字是直接相连。故A选项切题。【39题详解】考查形容词辨析。A. warm 使暖和；B. guide指导；C. tell告诉；D. find发现。句意：这道光芒终会照耀到约翰的身上。由上文可知，约翰杳无音信，母亲写信给儿子，并相信上帝能够帮助她找到自己的儿子。所以这里用光芒比喻上帝的帮助，照在约翰身上，

35、实际上就是找到了约翰。故D选项切题。【40题详解】考查动词辨析。A. focus（使）集中；B. calm 使安静；C. broaden 扩大；D. strengthen 使稳固。句意：虽然我不肯定她是否只是在安慰自己，或是我们。母亲对儿子的挂念只能通过信的形式表达出来，可见这也是在安慰自己或者家人。这更是一种希望。故B选项切题。【41题详解】考查动词辨析。A. swing 摇摆；B. struggle挣扎；C. stick 钉住；D. settle解决。句意：但我们一家人却因此更加亲密。而最终我们终于等到了约翰的回信。母亲的信是情感的纽带，所以家人也因此而更加亲密。故C选项切题。【42题详解

36、】考查动词辨析。A. began开始；B. answered回答；C. signed在上签字；D. sealed 封上。句意：母亲总以“塞西莉娅?卡普奇”署名，每每令我忍俊不禁，还要嘲笑她几句。根据常识可以判断出，写信要在信封上写上寄信人的姓名和地址。所以signed “在上签字”符合句意。故C选项切题。【43题详解】考查动词辨析。A. teased 取笑，调侃；B. persuaded说服；C. reminded提醒；D. informed 告知。句意：母亲总以“塞西莉娅?卡普奇”署名，每每令我忍俊不禁，还要嘲笑她几句。因为母亲以“塞西莉娅?卡普奇”署名，所以作者忍不住会“嘲笑”她。这种“嘲

37、笑”即使孩子的一种天性，也是一种母亲和孩子之间的一种特别的爱。故A选项切题。【44题详解】考查副词辨析。A. never决不；B. seldom 很少；C. ever曾经；D. always一直。句意：以前我一直没有留意到她把自己当成塞西莉娅?卡普奇，而不是母亲。always是含有肯定意义的程度副词,其基本意思是指某个行为发生频率的百分之百或某种状态存在的自始至终。这里表示以前作者一直没有留意到母亲把自己当成塞西莉娅?卡普奇。故D选项切题。【45题详解】考查形容词辨析。A. liberal 慷慨的；B. delicate雅致的；C. reliable可依靠的；D. uneducated 未受过

38、良好教育的。句意：我不禁以新的眼光打量自己的母亲，她是多么优雅，又是那么矮小，但是又很坚强。作者以新的眼光打量自己的母亲，此时母亲时优雅的。所以 delicate“雅致的”符合句意。故B选项切题。【46题详解】考查名词辨析。A. university大学；B. service服务；C. course课程；D. army军队。句意：现在他们都因工作、入伍或婚姻纷纷离开了家。enroll in the army“入伍”。由前文可知，母亲的孩子有参军入伍的。 所以 army“军队”符合句意。故D选项切题。【47题详解】考查动词短语辨析。A. cater to 迎合；B. relate to与有关；C

39、. write to 写信给；D. subscribe to 同意。句意：第二年春天，母亲也要开始给另外两个儿子写信了。由上文“wrote to”可知，本空处是原词再现。说明母亲也要开始给另外两个儿子写信了。故C选项切题。【48题详解】考查动词辨析。A. circulated 传播；B. arose 产生；C. faded 逐渐消失；D. ceased 停止。句意：母亲写信的事渐渐传开了。由下文可知，很多人来找母亲读信或者写信，所以母亲写信的事渐渐传开了，很多人才会找她来帮忙。故A选项切题。【49题详解】考查动词短语辨析。A. set out着手；B. pulled out 抽出；C. put

40、 out扑灭；D. turned out结果是。句意：女人打开背包，掏出一叠航空信。她乞求母亲帮她读信的内容。信是女人在欧洲参战的儿子写来的。and 连接两个并列的动作，所以先是打开背包，然后掏出一叠航空信。故B选项切题。【50题详解】考查动词短语辨析。A. sprang up 突然冒出；B. welled up 涌出（泪水）；C. looked up查找；D. turned up出现。句意：听完，那女人的眼里充满了泪水。由前文可知，女人的儿子在欧洲作战，是一名士兵。所以这个女人在听完信后哭了起来。故B选项切题。【51题详解】考查名词辨析。A. writer作家；B. editor编辑；C.
