wrapone'sarmsaroundsb.用手臂搂住某人waitone'sturntodosth.等着轮到某人做某事thinkof想起，记起 recalldoingsth.回忆起做某事9\nseesb.off为某人送行 atwork在工作，起作用1．B 结合上文中出现的“arriveordepart”和下文中的“thefinalmoment”可知，空处应该是一个告别(goodbye)的场景，故选B。2．B 根据语境可知，此处表示登机(boarding)前最后的时刻，故选B。3．A 结合下文中的“protecthim”可知，母亲在儿子登机前给他一个强有力的(powerful)拥抱，故选A。gentle“温柔的”；warm“温暖的”；common“共同的，普遍的”。4．C 根据语境可知，快要登机的时候，母亲给了儿子一个强有力的拥抱，自然是盼望儿子能一路平安并平安归来，故选C。leave“离开”；survive“幸存，艰难渡过”；recover“恢复”。5．D 根据空后的“becausetheonesIlovehaveadifferent__6__frommine”和下文中的“thereisnoonetoseemeoff”可知，作者是一个人(alone)，没有人来为她送行，所以选D。frightened“害怕的，受惊的”；anxious“焦虑的，渴望的”；relaxed“放松的”。6．A 根据语境可知，作者一个人离开是因为所爱之人都有不同的日程安排。schedule“日程安排，计划表”符合语境，故选A。7．C 结合语境可知，作者回忆起(recall)女儿上大学第一次回家的往事，所以选C项。8．C 根据语境可知，作者一把抱住女儿，好像她走失了很久。lost“丢失的，遗失的”符合语境，故选C。9．B 结合语境可知，作者等待很久之后，所乘的航班终于(finally)通知登机了，故选B。punctually“准时地”；abruptly“突然地”；repeatedly“反复地”。10．D 根据语境可知，“__10__thereisnoonetoseemeoff”和“Idonot__11__toseewhereIhavecomefrom”是因果关系，所以空处应用Since“因为，既然”。11．C 既然没有人来送行，作者不需要回头张望(lookback)。slowdown“放慢，减速”；getoff“下车，离开”；runaway“突然离开，逃离”。12．C 结合语境可知，作者没有回头张望，相反地，作者想的是，还在上班的丈夫不知道作者是否已经离开。故选C项。13．D 参见上题解析。wonderif...“不知道是否……”符合语境，故选D。14．A 结合语境可知，作者发现自己记得(remembering)另一件以前的迎接与送行，故选A。15．B 结合下文中的“Becauseofmytears”可知，此处应用crying。shout“大喊，喊叫”；laugh“大笑，笑”；whisper“低语，悄声说”。16．B 此处指的是，因为作者哭泣，每个人(everyone)都在看着作者和她的丈夫。故选B。9\n17．A 虽然大家都在看，但是作者并不在意(care)，故选A。respond“回复，作出反应”；scold“训斥，责骂”；flee“逃离”。18．D 根据语境可知，人生中一直需要这样重要的时刻(moment)，故选D。arrival“到达”；chance“机会”；departure“离开”。19．A 根据语境可知，作者希望所有出行(journey)的人回来时都能看到有人在等待(waitingfor)他们。故选A。20．D 参见上题解析。四、单句改错1．Wefinallyreachedwhatthetemplestood._____________________________________________________答案：what→where 本句中的stood意为“(某物)处于某一位置”，故应用关系副词where连接宾语从句。2．Thetelephoneisringing.Answerittoseewhoeveriscalling._____________________________________________________答案：whoever→who whoever“无论谁”，可引导主语从句或让步状语从句，不可引导宾语从句。本句中，应用作主语，且表示“谁”的关系代词who连接宾语从句，故改whoever为who。3．Afterthetrafficaccidenthappened,thepolicewereatthesceneatonce._____________________________________________________答案：第一个at→on onthescene“在现场”。4．Aftertherainstopped,theywentaheadtheirworkofdiggingupthestreet._____________________________________________________答案：ahead后加with goaheadwithsth.“(停留一段时间后)继续做某事”。5．Iknowit'sdangeroustogotherewithoutamap,butI'lltakeanchance._____________________________________________________答案：an→a
