考查词义猜测。根据第一段最后一句“Myparentslivedagreatdistanceaway，andIwastooashamedtoletthemknowaboutoursituation”可知，“我”的父母住在很远的地方，“我”羞于让他们知道我们的处境；结合该段中的“whenwewereayoungcouplewithtwosmallchildren，aged2and4，wewerepracticallyimpecunious”可知，我们是有着两个孩子的年轻夫妻，据此可以推知，我们的日子过得相当贫穷，才会羞于让远方的父母知道我们的情况。据此可以判断，画线词意为“贫穷的”，故C项正确。A项意为“慷慨的，大方的”，B项意为“和谐的，和睦的”，D项意为“固执的”，都与语境不符。2．C 考查细节理解。根据第二段第一句的“Myhusbandwastryingtoearnalivingwithanoldpickuptruck，carryinggroceriesforlocalshopkeepers”可知，“我”的丈夫用一辆旧卡车为当地的店主送货谋生，故C项正确。3．B 考查细节理解。根据第三段最后两句“Icouldhardlybelievemyeyes.Theresatalargebasketloadedwithfood”可知，看到一篮子的食物，“我”几乎不能相信自己的眼睛；据此可以判断，作者很惊讶，故B项正确。A项意为“她感到恼怒”，C项意为，“她感到害怕”，D项意为“她感到欣慰”，都与第三段最后两句的语境不符。9\n4．A 考查标题判断。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了“我”和丈夫有两个孩子，生活贫困，但羞于将处境告诉父母。丈夫用一辆旧卡车送货谋生。一天晚上，“我”在家门口发现一篮子丰盛的食物，那一餐令“我”终生难忘。“我”将永远感谢那位送食物给“我”家的人。据此可以判断，A项最能概括文意，体现文章主旨，故A项正确。二、单句语法填空1．Nowadays,cycling,alongwithjoggingandswimming,________(regard)asoneofthebestallroundformsofexercise.答案：isregarded 当主语后面接由alongwith引起的短语时，谓语动词应和主语(cycling)保持一致；cycling与regard之间是被动关系，应用被动语态，且此处描述一般事实。2．Hewasobservedbyofficers________(drive)at90milesperhour.答案：driving observe在本句中意为“注意到，发现”，在句中构成observesb.doingsth.结构的被动式，用v.ing表示动作正在进行。3．Manytimesthepersonwhohurtyoudoesnotintend________(apologize)．答案：toapologize intendtodosth.“打算做某事”。4．Whicheverwayyoulookatit,anOlympicsilvermedalisaremarkable________(achieve)foronesoyoung.答案：achievement aremarkableachievement“一个非凡的成就”。5．Withourteacher________(support)us,wefeelquiteencouraged.答案：supporting support“支持”前有With,因此应使用所填词的非谓语动词形式，且teacher和support构成逻辑上的主谓关系，故填supporting。6．Hehasdecidedtogetalookatthehouseandseeifitmightbeworthwhile________(buy)it.答案：buying/tobuy Itisworthwhiledoing/todosth.“值得做某事”。7．Thelittleboy'sbad________(behave)atthepartymadehisparentsupset.答案：behaviour behaviour“行为”是名词，此处作主语。8．Toleranceconsistsin________(respect)theopinionsofothers.答案：respecting 句意：宽容在于尊重别人的观点。介词后应用动词ing形式。9．Computershavereplacedtelevisionsasourmostpopularformof________(entertain)．答案：entertainment 介词of后应为名词entertainment“娱乐活动；娱乐”。10．WhatIwouldliketodotodayistoadvancean________(argue)andseewhat9\nyoumakeofit.答案：argument
