left是“你还剩下多长时间”的意思，left用作后置定语。故选B项。2C根据该空后的people older than me可判断，作者以为父(母)亲垂死这件事只会发生在比他年龄更大的人身上。故选C项。3Din doubt意为“怀疑”；in anger意为“生气地”；in vain 意为“徒劳无益地”；in shock意为“震惊地；吃惊地”。听到父亲患癌这件事，作者当然是长时间地感到震惊。故选D项。刷有所得方法：做完形填空题时，有些题要注意该空前后的介词、副词等。有时需要分别把选项与前后的介词、副词相搭配，再判断它们搭配后哪个短语的意思更符合上下文的逻辑。4A根据下文But there was nothing I could do.可知，作者什么都做不了，由此可推测，此处指作者感到无能为力。powerless意为“无能为力的”；nervous意为“紧张不安的；焦虑的”；lost意为“迷路的；不知所措的”；bored意为“厌烦的；烦闷的”。根据语境可知选A项。5A根据下文and take the cancer out可知，此处指作者希望可以进入父亲的身体拿走癌细胞。reach into意为“伸进；伸入”；turn to意为“转向；求助于”；stand by意为“袖手旁观；支持”；look into意为“调查”。故选A项。6B根据该空后面的You reacted well to treatment and youre still here可知，作者的父亲对治疗反应很好并且依然还活着，所以作者一家感觉是幸运的(lucky)。故选B项。confused意为“困惑的；混乱的”；active意为“积极的”；hopeless意为“没有希望的”。7C父亲的治疗效果很好，“我们”很幸运，虽然不知道父亲还能坚持多久，但是他还活着。better意为“更好”；deeper意为“更深”；longer意为“更长久”；further意为“更远”。故选C项。8B根据设空后的everything youve given me可知，作者在此表达对父亲的感激之情。eager意为“渴望的；热切的”；grateful意为“感激的”；regretful意为“遗憾的；后悔的”；desperate意为“绝望的”。故选B项。9D句意为：好像在我们的父子关系上就是这不成文的规则阻止了这句话被说出口。unwritten rule意为“不成文的规则”，符合语境。故选D项。10A根据下文的Youre a man conservative和You keep them to yourself可知，父亲很保守，所以这一不成文的规则阻止了父爱的表达。prevent意为“阻止；防止”；change意为“改变”；destroy 意为“破坏；摧毁”；transform意为“使改观；使转化”。故选A项。11Bguarded意为“谨慎的”，结合下文的You keep them to

things havent gone well及I remember all the offers of help.可知，当事情进展不顺利时，父亲会主动提供帮助，因此可知，父亲是关心儿子的。power意为“力量；权力”；anger意为“愤怒；生气”；curiosity意为“好奇心”；concern意为“担心；忧虑”。故选D项。16D结合下文I wish you could tell me youre _ and I could tell you I love you.可知，作者希望父亲能够告诉他父亲是如何想的，作者也能告诉父亲作者爱他。由此可推测，此处指作者希望能够与父亲谈论他们对彼此意味着(mean)什么。故选D项。17C根据上文的your proud looks可知，此处指作者希望父亲能够告诉他父亲为他而自豪。conservative意为“守旧的；保守的”；brave意为“勇敢的”；proud 意为“骄傲的；自豪的”；helpful

always very rude and that is because people tend to avoid him._答案：becausewhyThat is why . “那就是的原因”，此处强调结果，故用why。4We appreciate your apologies and goodwill, but we hope that you can figure a good way of settling the matter._答案：figure后加outfigure out在本句中意为“想出”。5Distance learning is being adopted as in several countries to help children in remote rural schools._答案：去掉asadopt在本句中意为“采纳”，为及物动词，故去掉as。五、七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。(2018贵阳市摸底考试)Many teenagers want to look cool._1_ Chloe Murray，an eighthgrader at Jefferson Middle School in

US.分析：本句是一个复合句。when引导时间状语从句；when it es to sth.意为“当涉及某事时，在某个方面，说到某事”。译文：芝加哥论坛报是一家位于美国芝加哥的日报。Chloe告诉芝加哥论坛报：“在中学，自信心是一个真正的问题，尤其是说到衣物时。”1F此处承接上文的“Many teenagers want to look cool”，再结合下文的慈善衣橱可推知，并不是每个人都有钱去紧跟时尚潮流，所以F项符合语境。2B此处承接下文中的“The school let her use a room for the project”，由此可推知，学校对Chloe的这一举动予以支持，故B项符合语境。3G根据第一段的内容及空后一句可推知，Chloe建立这样一个慈善衣橱是为了帮助同龄人表现出最好的状态，因此衣橱里捐赠的都是时尚的衣物，所以G项符合语境。4A根据下文中的“Many people from the schools munity and neighboring schools donated used and new clothes”可推知，此处介绍了捐赠的衣物的来源，所以A项符合语境。5D此处承接下文中的“Then, they will be better able to focus on the learning material rather than paying too much attention to what they are wearing”，由此可推知，只有满足学生的基本需求，比如衣物，他们才能集中注意力学习而不是过多地关注穿着，所以D项符合语境。
