materialismn．物质主义 miraclen．奇迹9\n1．C 根据下文的“Andasweenteranewyearandlightthe__18__approachingthetime”可知，此处指点蜡烛。2．A 根据上文的“Hanukkah(光明节)”可推知，节日是用来庆祝的。3．B 根据语境“lessthan$10each，oreven$1each(atthedollarstore)”可推知，此处表示东西的价格，故用介词for。4．C 结合语境“Mychildrendidn'taskforanythingmuchinparticular”可推知，孩子们并不挑剔，很喜欢拿到的礼物。5．D 结合下文的转折“Butthisyear,Hanukkah__6__somethingelse”和“Myspecialneedsson”可推知，作者保持那个传统很多年。6．B 根据转折“Butthisyear，Hanukkah__6__somethingelse”和“Myspecialneedsson”可推知，今年有些不同，有了新变化。7．A 根据语境“anditwasuptometobuyallthepartsofit”可推知，儿子要组建一台电脑，要作者去买零配件。8．C 根据下文的“Andwhenitbecameclearthatitwasn'tgoingtohappen,hegot__9__”可推知，作者没同意儿子的要求，儿子就有了其他更多的要求。agreeto“同意”。9．D

根据下文的“Iknowdeepdownthathisobsessions(迷恋的物)areoutofhis__14__，anddefinitelyoutofmine”可推知，儿子不为所动，坚持自己的要求。14．C 根据“obsessions(迷恋的物)”可推知，儿子陷入迷恋的事物之中，已经失控。outofcontrol“失控”。15．D 很明显，作者应对有特殊需求的儿子有些棘手。challenging“挑战性的”。16．C 根据“thewayIhope”可知，有些事情并不像作者希望的那样发展。workout“成功地发展”。17．B 根据语境“whoisshowingmethetruemeaningoflife”可推知，此处的语气表示肯定、赞赏，故选B。amazing“了不起的”。18．A 根据上文的“Ilikedtheideaof__1__acandleeverynight”可知，节日期间作者一家点蜡烛庆祝。19．B 根据语境可知，此处表示逻辑上的因果关系，故选B。as“因为”。9\n20．D 与语境中的“negative”形成对比可知，此处表示把负面要求变成积极要求。positive“积极的”。四、单句改错1．Theoldmanhasbeenfiredandnowayoungmantakesplace._____________________________________________________答案：takes后加his takeone'splace“代替某人”，相当于taketheplaceofsb.。2．Whenfirstwasintroducedtothemarket,theseproductsenjoyedgreatsuccess._____________________________________________________答案：去掉was 前一句子为状语从句的省略形式，当状语从句的主语与主句的主语一致或主语为it，且谓语部分含有be动词的相应形式时，可以把从句的主语(或it)连同be动词一同省略。3．Myhusbandarrangedmetorideinahotairballoonformybirthday._____________________________________________________答案：arranged后加for arrangeforsb.todosth.“安排某人做某事”。4．WheninSeniorHigh,myclasswasconsistedof55students._____________________________________________________答案：去掉was

系动词be后应接形容词作表语，beconsideratetosb.意为“对某人体贴”。故将consideration改为considerate。第二处：while→when wasdoing...when...是固定句式，when作连词，意为“就在这时……；突然……”。故将while改为when。第三处：starting→started get在句中是系动词，主语与动词start之间是被动关系，要用被动形式，故将starting改为started。第四处：come→came 根据上下文可知，本文描述的是发生在过去的事情，应用一般过去时。故将come改为came。第五处：hurried→hurriedly 修饰goingto应用副词，而hurried为形容词，意为“匆忙的”。故将hurried改为hurriedly。第六处：在attend后加to 句意为：他正急匆匆地去医院照顾他生病的母亲。attendto是固定搭配，意为“照料”。故在attend后加to。第七处：Furthermore→However 杰基着急去医院，但却毫不犹豫地开车送作者去演讲的地方。上下文是转折关系，故将Furthermore改为However。第八处：problems→problem “我”的困难就是要着急去作演讲，应用单数。故将problems改为problem。第九处：when→where 此处是一个非限制性定语从句、修饰先行词hall，引导词在从句中作地点状语，应用where引导该从句。故将when改为where。第十处：删除the 此处是说杰基是一个乐于助人的人，泛指其他人，不用冠词。故删除the。9\n9
