【语篇导读】这是一篇记叙文。作者作为一名接线员在theCajunNavychannel工作。在一次洪水之后,作者通过接线员的工作寻找一位老人,并成功救下了老人。41.A.trucks B.planesC.boats D.cars答案C解析考查名词词义辨析。句意:在那里有成千上万的无私的志愿者乘船进入洪水区。truck卡车;plane飞机;boat船;car小汽车。根据空后“floodedareas”可知是进入洪水灾区,所以交通工具是船。故选C项。42.A.found B.changedC.adjusted D.deleted答案A解析考查动词词义辨析。句意:所以我了Zello应用程序,并且找到了CajunNavy频道。find找到;change改变;adjust协调;delete删除。根据本句句意,及空后的channel,可知应是用应用程序发现了CajunNavy频道。故选A项。43.A.pictures B.risksC.orders D.calls答案D解析考查名词词义辨析。句意:来自受害者中的几个女士一直从上午11点就打并询问有没有人可以在晚上工作。picture图片;risk风险;order命令;call。根据空后“ontheline”可知,这里是一直在打。故选D项。44.A.read B.workC.write D.travel答案B解析考查动词词义辨析。句意:来自受害者中的几个女士一直从上午11点就打并询问有没有人可以在晚上工作。read读;work工作;write写;travel旅游。根据下文中“Igottwominute‘training’anda‘Goodluck!’.ThenIbegantoanswercalls.”和“Itookrequestafterrequest.Around4:30a.m.”可知,作者接受了两分钟的培训和一句“好运”就开始接,到了凌晨4:30还在接,说明这几个女士是询问是否有人可以在晚上工作,即接。故选B项。45.A.stuck B.shotC.hidden D.locked答案A解析考查动词词义辨析。句意:他被困在他家里了,水已经到了他的胸前。stick困住;shoot射击;hide隐藏;lock锁上。根据下文“withwateruptohischests”可知水已经到了他的胸前,说明他现在是被困在家里了,水太深,没有办法出去。所以用固定搭配bestuckin,意为“陷入,困住”。故选A项。46.A.frequently B.againC.slightly D.instead答案D解析考查副词词义辨析。句意:他打算去他的阁楼,相反我告诉他要去屋顶,这样他不会被上涨的水困住。frequently频繁地;again又一次;slightly稍微地;instead反而,相反。根据空前“Hewasabouttogotohisattic.Itoldhimtogotohisroof46”由此可知他打算去阁楼,而后面作者告诉他要去屋顶,前后有相反的意思,所以结合选项,故选D项。

47.A.abroad B.plainlyC.separately D.together答案C解析考查副词词义辨析。句意:我接到一个来自Saundra的,她的祖父单独住。abroad在国外;plainly普通地;separately单独地;together一起。根据下文“Shewasworriedbecausewithoutanyonearound”可知,她很担心因为没有人在身边,所以应该是祖父单独住。故选C项。48.A.breakthrough B.getthroughC.pointout D.burstout答案B解析考查动词短语辨析。句意:她很担心因为没有人在身边,他也没打通911。breakthrough打破;getthrough通过,打通;pointout指出;burstout爆发。911是急救,所以此处应是打通。故选B项。49.A.wandering B.apologizingC.lying D.fighting答案C解析考查动词词义辨析。句意:看起来我好像一直在撒谎。wander闲逛;apologize道歉;lie撒谎;fight斗争。根据空前“ButlaterIlearnedtheCajunNavyhadnoboatsonthewatertohelp,withthefloodsosevere.”和空后“Sevenhoursafterthecalls,wegotwordthattheCajunNavywasfinally50togoontothewater.”可知,作者后来才知道CajunNavy因为洪水严重没有船可以去救助,在接到的7个小时以后,救援人员才获准下水去救助。所以看起来作者好像一直在撒谎。故选C项。

50.A.dropped B.lostC.located D.allowed答案D解析考查动词词义辨析。句意:在接到的7小时后,CajunNavy才最终被允许下水。drop掉下;lose丢失;locate位于;allow允许。根据上文“ButlaterIlearnedtheCajunNavyhadnoboatsonthewatertohelp,withthefloodsosevere.”可知作者后来才知道CajunNavy因为洪水严重没有船可以去救助,在7小时后,救援人员才获准下水去营救。故选D项。51.A.accuse B.approveC.remind D.warn答案C解析考查动词词义辨析。句意:每隔30分钟我就会提醒救援人员Saundra的祖父。accuse控告;approve支持;remind提醒;warn警告。根据上文“Sevenhoursafterthecalls,wegotwordthattheCajunNavywasfinally50togoontothewater.”可知,7小时后终于允许下水去营救了,所以每隔一段时间作者会提醒救援人员去救助Saundra的祖父。故选C项。
