19、假裝；confirm確定，證實； require需要，要求。根據(jù)語境此處表示確定。故選C.42. 考查形容詞辨析。句意：我沒有很多錢，但是我花了比平時多的錢在一元店買了裝飾品和盤子。last最后的；usual通常的；first第一的；forever永遠。結合語境可知答案為B.43. 考查名詞辨析。句意：為了讓他們所有人吃好，我稍微做了一下預算。budget預算；plan計劃；destination目的地，目標；purpose目的。根據(jù)句意可知選A.44. 考查動詞辨析。句意：我坐著，等著，盡管我所有的“朋友”都說他們要來，但沒有人出現(xiàn)！根據(jù)no one was here及下文“Here it

20、was,4:00 pm”可推知，我一直在等著。doubt懷疑；hesitate猶豫；intend打算；wait等，等候。故選D.45. 考查動詞短語辨析。句意：我坐著，等著，盡管我所有的“朋友”都說他們要來，但沒有人出現(xiàn)！根據(jù)“no one was here”可推知沒有人出現(xiàn)。hang out閑逛；turn around轉身；check in登記，報道； show up露面，出現(xiàn)。故選D.46. 考查動詞辨析。句意：慶?；顒釉ㄓ谥形?2點開始。open打開；start開始；launch發(fā)動，發(fā)射；close關閉，結束。結合句意可知答案為B.47. 考查副詞辨析。句意：到下午4點了，這里仍然沒

21、有人。still仍然；also也，并且；ever曾經，永遠；too也。結合句意可知答案為A.48. 考查動詞辨析及上下文推理。句意：冰淇淋蛋糕正在融化。freeze結冰；melt融化；harden硬化；break破壞，打破。根據(jù)上文提到從中午等到下午四點，推知冰淇淋蛋糕融化了。故選B.49. 考查名詞辨析。句意：燒烤上的食物被燒得面目全非。imagination想像力；control控制；recognition識別，認出；repair修理。beyond recognition面目全非，無法識別。故選C.50. 考查形容詞辨析及上下文推理。句意：我決定坐下來放松一下，回想起我曾經擁有的美好時光。

22、wonderful美好的，精彩的；terrible可怕的；different不同的；similar相似的。結合句意可知此處表示自己回憶以前的時光肯定是回憶美好的時光。故選A.51. 考查代詞辨析及固定搭配。句意：顯然，Mr. Kenny盡了最大努力才出現(xiàn)在這兒。did everything he could to do表示盡他所能去做某事。故選D.52. 考查名詞辨析及基本常識。句意：我在他的肩膀上哭了起來，“我什么都不值得！” clothes衣服；aim目的；shoulder肩膀；hands手。根據(jù)語境及基本常識應該選B.53. 考查動詞辨析。句意：他擦去我的眼淚，緊緊地抱住我，說了一句神奇

23、的話:“我永遠是你的朋友！” pat輕拍；drag拖；strike敲擊，打；hold握住。根據(jù)語境可知此處表示緊緊地抱住我，只有hold合適。故選D.54. 考查形容詞辨析及上下文推理。句意：他擦去我的眼淚，緊緊地抱住我，說了一句神奇的話：“我永遠是你的朋友！”magical神奇的，有魔力的；practical實際的；familiar熟悉的；thoughtful深思的，體貼的。根據(jù)本段最后一句話，“The clouds in my mind cleared away at once.”，Mr. Kenny的話語是有魔力的。故選A.55. 考查語境推理。句意：在過去的幾周里，他遇到了很多挑戰(zhàn)和困

24、難，但他還是成功了。Mr. Kenny雖然自己有很多困難和挑戰(zhàn)，但是他還是“設法來了”，manage to come 符合題意。故選B.56. 考查語境推理。句意：當我們坐在外面的藍天下，笑著聊天，我覺得我是幸運的。作者和其好友坐在草地上“邊笑邊談”符合日常的生活習慣，其他選項在意思上不搭。故選B.57. 考查形容詞辨析及語境推理。句意：當我們坐在外面的藍天下，笑著聊天，我覺得我是幸運的。根據(jù)下一句“He appeared just before I wanted to give up on the mean world”（我剛要放棄這個卑鄙的世界, 他出現(xiàn)了。）, 作者認為他是“幸運”的,

25、所以選D項 blessed, 意思是“幸運的, 有福氣的”。故選D.58. 考查形容詞辨析。句意：他出現(xiàn)在我想要放棄這個卑鄙的世界之前。因為作者的20個朋友“確認”要來參見他的生日party, 但是沒有一個露面的，作者非常失望，進而覺得這是一個“卑鄙”的世界。C項mean意思最好，B項和D項意思都不符合作者當時的心態(tài)，A項risky意思是“冒險的, 有風險的”，顯然不如C項合適。故選C.59. 考查上下文理解及連詞辨析。最后一段是作者經歷了這次事件后對生活的感悟。生活是美好的，雖然生活中有些人很幸運, 能和相愛的人永遠相處，而另外一些人不夠那么幸運，但是，作者建議人們，不要灰心沮喪，要充滿信心

26、和希望，說不定愛就在拐角處。用while引導狀語從句，表示對比，對比生活中的兩類人物。故選B.60. 考查名詞辨析。句意：然而，永遠不要放棄希望，也許它就在那個人的周圍。作者建議暫時“不幸?！钡娜藗儾灰艞墶跋Ｍ?，所以hope最合適。故選C.【名師點睛】完形填空題的命題特點及答題方法：1.側重基礎知識，考查學生語言知識的能力完形填空以文入手，結合文章的內容考查學生的基礎知識，主要是詞語搭配、固定句型、近義詞辨析、辨析句子結構、掌握語法規(guī)則的能力，其中考查實詞居多。該題中考查詞義辨析的題目比較多，但是尤其小題14，本身各個選項放在此處，意思都可以理解，magical神奇的，有魔力的；pract

27、ical實際的；familiar熟悉的；thoughtful深思的，體貼的。根據(jù)本段最后一句話“The clouds in my mind cleared away at once.”，可推知此處表示Mr. Kenny的話語是有魔力的，讓作者突然就豁然開朗，從而排除了干擾項。2.上下文對照，考查學生捕捉關鍵詞的能力解完形填空題時，單獨看一句話是找不到正確答案的，需要注意句子間的關系及句子與段落的關系。所謂上下對照，即在上文和下文中找到與正確答案相同的關鍵詞。因此，在做題時要邊讀邊在大腦中儲存上下文信息的能力，捕捉關鍵詞。3.設置語境，考查學生的分析推理能力旨在考查學生在選項都符合語法及句子結構

28、的情況下能否利用前后語境去推斷出正確答案。如小題11，根據(jù)語境可知意思應該表示盡他所能，did everything he could to do表示盡他所能去做某事，既考查了語境理解也考察了語法知識。三、 閱讀理解17. JOIN OUR TEAMA.
