2.根据该空后的becauseitwasfromhiswife可知,这块表对他来说非常“重要(important)”。

3.根据上下文可知,他在自己的“店(store)”里丢了表。

4.根据下文孩子们进店找表的行为可知,他“决定(decided)”让在店外玩耍的孩子们进来帮忙。

5.根据该空后的thepersonwhofounditwouldberewarded可知,他向孩子们“承诺(promised)”:谁找到了表,就有奖赏。

6.“听到(Hearing)”他的承诺,孩子们冲进了店里。

7.孩子们为了找到表,搜遍了“整个(whole)”店。

8.根据该空前的themanfelthopeless可知,他想要“放弃(giveup)”了。

9.根据下文的themansenthimbackinthestore可知,一个小男孩请老人再给他一次“机会(chance)”。

10.根据该空前后的内容可知,这里是说:为什么不呢?“毕竟(Afterall)”这个孩子看上去十分真诚。

11.老人认为这个孩子真诚,因此又让他进了店,前后是因果关系,所以填So。

12.根据上文的themansenthimbackinthestore可知,过了一会儿,小男孩手里拿着表“出来(cameout)”了。

13.看到小男孩找到了表,这位老人十分“吃惊(surprised)”。

14.根据上文内容可知,其他孩子都没有找到表而这个小男孩成功了,所以填failed。

15.根据该空后ThenIheardthetickingofthewatch可知,这个小男孩坐在地上仔细“听(listened)”。

16.听到手表的滴答声,然后朝着那个“方向(direction)”找去。

17.正如这个找表的故事一样,我们往往只考虑自己的需求,这样就无法让我们的心平静下来。“相反(Instead)”,我们应该从自身的角度去想一想,这样才会带来“好的(good)”结果。

18.参见上题剖析

19.根据上文的keeppeacefulforawhile可知,这里是说给自己的大脑片刻“宁静(silence)”。

20.根据该空前的helpsyoudealwithyourwork和该空后的asyouexpectto可知,这里是说取得“进步(progress)”。21.WhenIwasthirteen,myfamilymovedfromBostontoTucson,Arizona.___16___themove,myfather___17___usintheliving-roomonafreezingJanuarynight.MysistersandIsataroundthefire,not___18___thattheuniversewouldsuddenlychangeitscourse.“InMay,we’re___19___toArizona.”Thewords,sosmall,didn’tseem___20___enoughtoholdmynewlife.ButtheworldchangedandIawokeonatrainmovingacrossthecountry.Iwatchedthe___21___changefromgreentreestoflatdustyplainstohighmountainsasIsawstrangenewplantsthat____22____mysteriesyettocome.Finally,wearrivedand___23___intoournewhome.

34.D

35.B文章讲的是作者13岁时与家人一起从美国的大城市波士顿搬到美国西南部的亚利桑那州，以及搬家后生活所发生的变化。16.D考查介词。A.During在---期间；

B.Until直到---为止；

C.Upon

在---之上；

D.Before在---之前。表示在搬家前父亲把孩子们召集在一起说搬家的事情。故选D。17.A考查动词。A.gathered聚集；

B.warned

警告；

C.organized组织；

D.comforted安慰。比较四个选项，再结合本段大意，只有gather最佳，指父亲把孩子们聚集在一起讲搬家的事情。故选A。18.C考查动词。A.hoping希望；

B.admitting承认；

C.realizing意识到；

D.believing相信。通读全文可知，由于两地的地理环境差异很大，搬家给孩子们的生活带来了很大的变化，而当时只是听父亲说要搬家，孩子们并没意识到今后的生活发生变化。故选C。19.B考查动词。A.going去；

B.moving移动；

C.driving开车；

D.flying飞。文章讲的是搬家的事，所以只有填空move最合适。20.C考查形容词。A.good

好的；

B.simple简单的；

C.big

大的；D.proper合适的。与前面的small形成对比，用big。故选C。21.C考查名词。A.picture图画；

B.ground地面；

C.scene

景色；

D.area地区。指作者在火车上所观察到的景色(scene)的变化——从绿树到平原，再到高山。故选C。22.A考查动词。A.suggested建议；

B.solved解决；

C.discovered发现；

D.explained解释。指作者在沿途看到了许多新的陌生的植物，这表明(suggest)他今后还会接触到更多新的奥秘。故选A。23.A考查动词。比较：settleinto迁入(新居)，习惯于(新居、生活、环境等)；walkinto走进；stepinto步入，走进；hurryinto匆匆忙忙进入。由于其后的宾语是home，不是house，所以不能直接“走进去”。settleinto表示“习惯于”的例子：Ittakesafewmonthstosettleintolifeatcollege.要过几个月才能习惯大学的生活。24.D考查并列句。.A.If如果；

B.After在---之后；

C.Once一旦；

D.While然而。while在此表示对比。句意为：姐妹们正在为失去朋友而伤心，而“我”却急切去探索周围的新环境。故选D。25.D考查动词。A.bitterly苦涩地；

B.easily容易地；

C.proudly

自豪地；D.eagerly渴望地。指作者来到新地方后那种渴望了解大自然的急迫心情。(做此题要注意结合下文讲的“我”对探索大自然的热情。)故选D。26.B考查词组。A.aswell也；

B.asusual

像平常一样；

C.fightaway

消除；D.ontime按时。asusual意为“像往常一样”。（这是作者热心探索大自然的表现之一。）故选B。27.D考查动词。A.move

移动；

B.dig挖；

C.pull拉；

D.touch触摸，感动。根据文章最后一句话Someoneshouldteachyouwhichplantyoushouldandshouldn’ttouch可知，此空应填空touch。28.B考查词组。A.ofcourse

当然；

B.infact

事实上；

C.afterall毕竟；

D.atleast至少。infact意为“事实上”，表示对前面情况的进一步强调。故选B。29.A考查名词。A.desert

沙漠；

B.city城市；

C.state

州；D.country国家。根据HowcouldIexplainhowI___16___thedesert?可知答案为A。30.C考查名词。A.luck运气；

B.doubt疑问；

C.shock震惊；

D.danger危险。此处指作者以前住的大城市与现在的desert形成强烈对比，因此选shock。其余几项用于此处均讲不通。31.A考查动词。A.found发现；

B.examined检查；

C.watched观看；

D.reached到达。此处填空的find不是表示“发现”，而是表示“感觉”，又如：Howdoyoufindyournewjob?你认为你的新工作怎么样？故选A。32.B考查状语从句。A.why为什么；

B.when

当---时候；

C.how

怎样；

D.where在哪里。句中的vastness意为“宽广”或“空旷无际”。句意为：这种宽广就是当你站在山上眺望其下沙漠的情景。故选B。33.C考查动词。A.prove证明；

B.guess

猜测；

C.sense感知；

D.expect期盼。此句的大意是：当你站在山顶上眺望这一片沙漠的时候，与这个世界相比，你会感觉到你自己是多么的渺小。sense在此表示“感到”，其余几个动词填在此处均讲不能。故选C。34.D考查副词。比较：however但是，然而；otherwise要不然；therefore因此，所以；meanwhile在此同时。结合上句话的意思，只有meanwhile最合适。35.B考查名词。A.idea注意；

B.life生活；

C.home家；

D.family家庭。结合全文的意思，此处应是指作者的生活发生变化。故选B。三、阅读理解22.Iwassavedfromsin(罪孽)whenIwasgoingonthirteen,butnotreallysavedindeed.MyaunttoldmethatwhenyouweresavedbytheGod,yousawalight,andsomethinghappenedtoyouinside!AndJesuscameintoyourlife!Godwaswithyoufromthenon!ShesaidyoucouldseeandhearandfeelJesusinyoursoul.Ibelievedher.Ihadheardagreatmanyoldpeoplesaythesamethinganditseemedtometheyoughttoknowthetruth.SoIsattherecalmlyinthehot,crowdedchurch,inwhicheverynightforweekstherehadbeenmuchpreaching(布道),singing,praying,andshouting,waitingforJesustocometome.Thechurchmanpreachedawonderfullongspeech,withallmoansandshoutsandlonelycries,andthenhesangasongabout“Theninety-ninelambssafebackhome,exceptalittleonethatwasleftoutinthecold.”Thenhesaidtous,“Won'tyoucome?Won'tyoucometoJesus?Younglads,won'tyoucome?"Andheheldouthisarmstoallofusyoungsinnerssittingonthebench.Itwasn’tlongbeforesomelittlegirlsburstoutcrying.AndsomeofthemjumpedupandwenttoJesusrightaway.Butmostofusjustremainedunmoved.Agreatmanyoldpeoplecameandkneltaroundusandprayed:oldwomenwithshinyblackfacesandcurlyhair,oldmenwithwork-roughhands.Andthepreachersangasongaboutthelowerlightsburning,somepoorsinnerssaved.Andthewholebuildingwasshakinggentlywithprayersandsongs.StillIkeptwaitingtoseeJesusintheair.Finallyalltheyoungpeoplehadgonetotheplatformandweresaved,exceptoneboyandme.Hewasahabitualcriminal’sson,namedWesley.WesleyandIweresurroundedbywomenandpreacher’spraying.Itwasveryhotinsidethechurch,anditwasgettingdarknow.Wesleysaidtomeinawhisper:"Goddamn!I'mtiredofsittinghere.Let'sgetupandbesaved."Sohegotupandwassaved.BynowIwastheonlyoneleftallaloneonthebench.Myauntcameoverandkneltbesidemykneesandcried,whileprayersandsongechoedallaroundmeinthelittlechurch.Thewholecrowdinthechurchprayedformealone,inamightycryofmoansandvoices.AndIkeptwaitingfaithfullyforJesus,waitingandwaiting—butstillhedidn'tcome.Iwantedtoseehim,butnothinghappenedtome.Nothing!Iheardthesongsandthepreachersaying:“Whydon'tyoucome,mydearchild?Whydon'tyoucometoJesus?Jesusiswaitingforyou.Hewantsyou.Whydon'tyoucome?”“SisterReed,whatisthischild'sname?"askedoneofherfriends."Langston,"answeredmyAuntsobbing."Langston,whydon'tyoucome?Whydon'tyoucomeandbesaved?Oh,myGod!Whydon'tyoucome?"Nowitwasreallygettinglate.Ibegantobeashamedofmyself,holdingeverythingupsolong.IbegantowonderwhatGodthoughtaboutWestley,whocertainlyhadn'tseenJesuseither,butwhowasnowsittingproudlyontheplatform,swinginghisknickerbockeredlegsandgrinningdownatme,surroundedbytheoldwomen.GodhadnotstruckWestleydeadforlyinginthetemple.SoIdecidedthatmaybetosavefurthertrouble,I'dbetterlie,too,andsaythatJesushadcome,andgetupandbesaved.Suddenlythewholeroombrokeoutshoutsofaseaastheysawmeeventuallyrise.Wavesofrejoicesweptthehall.Womenleapedintheair.Myauntthrewherarmsaroundme.Thepreachertookmebythehandandtookmeuptotheplatformwherethepreacherwasstanding,stretchinghisarmstowardsme.Whenthingsquieteddown,inahushedsilence,punctuatedbyafewpassionate"Amen",allthenewyoungladswereblessedinthenameofGodbeforethejoyoussingingfilledthewholelargehall.Thatnight,forthelasttimeinmylifebutone—Icried.Icriedinbedalone,andcouldn'tstop.Iburiedmyheadunderthequilts.Myauntheardme,andshewokeupandtoldmyuncleIwascryingbecausetheHolyGhosthadcomeintomylife,andbecauseIhadseenJesus.ButIwasreallycryingbecauseIcouldn'tbeartotellherthatIhadlied,thatIhaddeceivedeverybodyinthechurch,thatIhadn'tseenJesus,andthatnowIdidn'tbelievetherewasaJesusanymore,sincehedidn'tcometohelpme.55.WhohadtoldyoungLangstonaboutwhathewouldseeandhearandfeelwhenhewassaved?A.HisfriendWesley.
