BabusingCloving Daffecting20A.name BdayCworld Dway【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过讲述驾车途中的所见所感，并联想到自己家中曾经的火灾事件对他自身观念的影响，由此阐述了自己的感受：世上最重要的东西不是物质占有量，而在于精神世界的丰富，只有这样人才能感到快乐。1B根据“the golden sunshine _1_ off the leaves”可知，此处意为“树叶反射出金色的阳光”。reflect“反射”符合语境。appreciate“感激，欣赏”；admire“钦佩，赞赏”；release“释放，发行”。2C根据空前一句中的“smiled”和空后的“heavenly”及下文中的“calm”可知，作者当时的心情是平静愉快的，故peaceful符合语境。refreshing“使人精力充沛的”；delightful“讨人喜欢的，令人愉快的”；peaceful“平静的，宁静的”；dynamic“动力的，有活力的”。3A根据空前的“My calm was broken”可知，空处所在句与上文构成转折关系，故though“可是，不过”符合语境。too“太，也”；anyway“不管怎样，无论如何”；instead“相反”。4A根据空前一句中的“truck was ing my way several feet over the center line”可知，作者尽量把车子往路边开来躲开卡车。miss“避开，躲开(不好或讨厌的事)”；reject“排斥，丢掉”；ignore“忽视，不理睬”；desert“遗弃，丢弃”。5B根据上文可知，一辆卡车越过了中心线几英尺向作者的方向驶来，结合语境可知，这辆大卡车后还跟着另外两辆同样大的(large)卡车，故选B。6D根据语境可知，作者不知道三辆卡车上的东西是否属于(belonged to)同一个人。belong to“属于”；turn to“转向，求助于”；refer to“参考，提到”；react to“对作出反应”。7D根据语境可知，作者放慢车速来平静心情调整心率。故follow“跟随，追赶”符合语境。beat“打败，拍打”；pulse“跳动，搏动”；accelerate“加速，增加”。8A该句中的It was then that是强调句型，意思是“就在那时”。作者在平静心情时注意到路旁的一个自助存储公司。notice“注意到”；establish“建立，创办”。9C根据语境可知，这些设备是为那些无法把所有物(possessions)存储到自己的房子里的人而建的。possession“所有物，财产”符合语境。furniture“家具，设备”；material“材料”。10B根据空后一句中的“a couple just out of their teens”可知，此处young“年轻的”符合语境。middleaged“中年的”。11A根据该句中的“could already have too much stuff(可能已经拥有太多的东西)”可知，作者对此感到奇怪，故curious“稀奇古怪的”符合语境。apparent“显然的，表面上的”；certain“必然的，有把握的”；obvious“明显的，显然的”。12D根据语境可知，夜半时分一场大火烧毁了作者家中的一切，因此作者不再有拥有(很多)东西的兴趣(taste)。taste“爱好，兴趣”符合语境。hope“希望”； talent“才能，天资”；faith“信仰，信念”。13C根据空前的“had awakened”和空后的“escape”可知，作者全家及时(in time)醒来逃了出去。in return“作为回报”；in turn“反过来，轮流”；in vain“徒劳”。14B根据空后的“What was important was”和空前的“none of it”可知，空处所填词与important意思相同，故significant“重要的，有意义的”符合语境。affordable“买得起的”；beneficial“有益的”；practical“实用的”。15C根据生活常识可知，父亲打盹应该是在一天的艰辛工作之后(after)。16D根据空前的“What was important was the stuff of”及空后的“not the stuff of this world”可知，空处所填词与“this world”形成对比，再结合上文内容可知，作者认为精神世界的丰富更为重要。soul“(人类整体的)精神状况”符合语境。mind“头脑，智力”。17A根据上文中的“not the stuff of this world”可知，作者从此努力限制自己购买(purchase)东西的数量。下文中的“buy”亦是提示，故选A。donate“捐赠”；waste“浪费”；need“需要”。18B根据语境可知，此处表示作者不想让太多的物品充斥自己的生活。故crowd up符合语境。put up“张贴，搭建”；bring up“抚养，养育，提出”；set up“建立”。19C根据空后的“my family and others”可以推断此处意为“爱我的家人和他人”，故选C。abuse“滥用”；affect“影响”。20B根据语境可知，此处表示只有这样做作者才能开心。make sb.s day为固定用法，意为“使某人非常高兴”。三、七选五(2018石家庄市高中毕业班第二次模拟)Summer is a time to look forward to because there is no school to

Find out whats on the other side of that lake.”可知，该空应该讲的是在本地走一走；D项的意思是“在你自己所在的城市进行一些探索”，符合文意，所以选D项。5答案与解析：A空处是该段的主题句，根据本段内容可知，作者建议去海滩、水上公园，因此本段讲的是怎么避暑，A项“Beat the heat”的意思就是“避暑”，所以选A项。四、书面表达你的英国朋友Jim所在的学校要组织学生来中国旅行，有两条线路可以选择：长江之行或者泰山之旅。Jim来信希望你能给些建议。请你给他回信，内容包括：1.你建议的线路；2.你的理由；3.你的祝愿。注意：1. 词数80左右；2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。Dear Jim, Yours,Li Hua【写作指导】本文为提纲类作文。首先，学生要仔细阅读提示，弄清试题提供的所有信息，明确有哪些要点。 其次，要注意提纲是文章的总体框架，要在提纲的范围内进行分析、构思和想象。要依据提示情景或词语， 按照一定逻辑关系来写。 最后，要根据要表达的内容确定句子的时态,语态；语言表达要符合英语习惯。本文是一封信，按照内容要求可以确定文章的框架结构，三段式，其中第一段写你所建议的路线，第二部分是本文的主体，要阐述你所建议的路线的原因，好让 他们有很好的掌握，最后一段，提出你的祝愿。写作时要注意准确运用时态、语态、上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系。根据句意适当使用并列连词，同时也要合理运用高级词汇和高级句子为文章增色添彩。【亮点说明】本文内容齐全，结构严谨，层次分明，布局合理，语言精练，同时运用高级句子。表语从句的使用：Thats why I think the trip along the Yangtze will be a better choice.高级词汇的使用：highly remended。连接词的合理使用：Personally，moreover。
