theyreallyvalueinlife. A.which

B.where

C.what

D.how參考答案：C試題分析：考查賓語從句。句意：研究人員可以看到他們在生活中真正的價(jià)值。See后面的賓語從句缺少引導(dǎo)詞，缺少賓語，起雙重作用，故選C。18.—I’mkindofhungry,Mum!—ButIamoccupiednow,dear.TurntoEle.meandorder_______youdesire.A.whichever B.whatever C.nomatterwhich D.nomatterwhat參考答案：B【詳解】考查賓語從句連詞。句意：-我有點(diǎn)餓了，媽媽！-但我現(xiàn)在很忙，親愛的。向Ele.me求助，來點(diǎn)你想要的菜。根據(jù)句意可知，此處是whatever引導(dǎo)賓語從句，意為“無論什么”，而nomatterwhat只能用來引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句，故選B19.—Couldyoubesokindastoclosethewindow?—________.A.Withpleasure

B.Goahead

C.Yes,please

[語篇解讀]本文是一篇記敘文。講述了一位心地善良的小女孩，在兩次目睹了無家可歸的流浪者的悲慘生活后，竭盡所能地幫助無家可歸者。在自己的努力和影響下，她讓更多的人參與了進(jìn)來。41.下文語境題。根據(jù)后面的themanwashomelessand

hungry可知，那個人無家可歸，并且很餓，所以他應(yīng)該是從垃圾桶里找東西吃的。jump跳；eat吃；cry哭；wave揮手。42.下文語境題。根據(jù)后面的“Shecouldn’tunderstand

whysomepeoplehadtolivetheirliveswithoutshelteror

enoughfood.”可知，她不能理解為什么一些人沒有庇護(hù)之所，沒有足夠的食物，這讓她很難過(upset)。第二段最后一句出現(xiàn)的sad是近義詞復(fù)現(xiàn)，也可由此印證答案。annoyed生氣的；nervous緊張的；ashamed內(nèi)疚的，慚愧的；upset不快的，心煩意亂的。43.下文語境題。根據(jù)后面的thereisnotalotonefive-year-oldcandotosolve(解決)theproblemofhomelessness可知，Hannah想盡一己之力幫助(help)無家可歸者，不過一個5歲的女孩畢竟能力有限，可做的事情不多。behave表現(xiàn)；manage設(shè)法完成；help幫助；work工作。44.下文語境題。根據(jù)后面的anoldshoppingtrolley(購物車)可知，她碰到的那個婦女推著(push)一輛舊的購物車。push推；carry運(yùn)送；buy購買；hold抓住。45.下文語境題。根據(jù)后面的“Itseemedthateverythingthewomanownedwasinthem.”可知，那個女人所有的家當(dāng)好像都在包里，所以購物車?yán)飸?yīng)該堆滿了包(bags)。goods商品；bottle瓶子；food食物；bag包。受shoppingtrolley(購物車)的干擾，此題容易錯選A項(xiàng)。46.上下文語境題。根據(jù)第一段的內(nèi)容可知，Hannah在5歲時(shí)就想幫助無家可歸者，根據(jù)第三、四段的內(nèi)容可知，Hannah做了一些事情來幫助他們，所以此處表示，碰到這個無家可歸的女人，她很傷心，這更堅(jiān)定了(determined)她要做點(diǎn)兒事情的決心。excited興奮的；determined堅(jiān)定的；energetic精力充沛的；grateful感謝的，感激的。47.上文語境題。根據(jù)第一段的內(nèi)容“Sheaskedhermother

whyhedidthat...”可知，自從(since)她們第一次碰到那個無家可歸的人，Hannah就和她的媽媽一直討論他們的生活。since“自……以來”，可引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語從句。unless“除非”，引導(dǎo)條件狀語從句；although“雖然”，引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句；as“因?yàn)?；?dāng)……的時(shí)候”，引導(dǎo)原因狀語從句或時(shí)間狀語從句。48.上文語境題。根據(jù)空前的madehersad可知，碰到無家可歸的人讓Hannah很傷心，所以她的媽媽告訴她，如果她能做點(diǎn)兒什么來改變這個問題，那么她就不會感覺(feel)這么糟糕了。sound聽起來；get變得；feel給人……感覺；look看起來。49.上文語境題。根據(jù)此段第一句中的begantospeakout可知，Hannah開始在公開場合做些關(guān)于無家可歸的人的演講，想呼吁人們關(guān)注他們。她希望把希望傳播(spread)下去，并提升人們的意識。exchange交換，互換；leave留下；keep保持；spread擴(kuò)散，流傳。50.下文語境題。根據(jù)此空句子的后半句可知，她會在午餐期間盡力說服當(dāng)?shù)氐纳探珙I(lǐng)袖為這一事業(yè)做出貢獻(xiàn)，所以Hannah是主辦(host)了“大老板”午餐，這是她組織的一種活動。sell賣；deliver遞送；host主辦；pack(把……)打包。51.上文語境題。Hannah舉辦“大老板”午餐活動，是為了讓他們?yōu)檫@一事業(yè)出一己之力(contribute)。contributeto為……做貢獻(xiàn)，為……出力；leadto導(dǎo)致；applyto申請；agreeto同意(計(jì)劃、安排、方案等)。52.上下文語境題?？崭袂暗腶nother提示，前面已經(jīng)出現(xiàn)過一個同類型的名詞，而前文提到的與募捐有關(guān)的活動，是一個零錢月(“MakeChange”month)，another后面是另一個活動(campaign)——NationalRedScarfDay，人們在當(dāng)天捐獻(xiàn)20美元并戴上紅圍巾以支持加拿大的饑餓和無家可歸的人。campaign活動，運(yùn)動；trip旅行；procedure程序，步驟；trial審判，試驗(yàn)。53.上文語境題。第一段中提到了themanwashomelessandhungry，和本空相對應(yīng)，是單詞復(fù)現(xiàn)。elderly年老的；hungry饑餓的；lonely孤單的；sick生病的。54.下文語境題。根據(jù)下文的描述，Hannah’sPlace分布在好幾個區(qū)，為流浪者提供了棲身之處，所以Hannah已經(jīng)給很多流浪者提供了幫助，這是她感到驕傲的(proud)事。beawareof意識到……；beafraidof害怕……；beproudof為……感到驕傲，以……為榮；besureof對……有把握。55.上下文語境題。Hannah給流浪者提供了棲身之處，讓他們在嚴(yán)寒的天氣有地方可住。在寒冷的天氣，睡(sleep)在戶外就可能死亡。go去，到；sleep睡覺；travel旅行；play玩耍。56.下文語境題。根據(jù)本段中的shereceivedthe2007

BRICKAward可知，Hannah曾獲得2007年盤石獎，所以可以判斷她因自己的善行獲得了很多贊揚(yáng)(praise)。praise表揚(yáng)，贊揚(yáng)；invitation邀請；reply回復(fù)；appointment約會。57.上下文語境題。Hannah獲得了2007年盤石獎，這個獎項(xiàng)是對年輕人為改變世界所做出努力(effort)的認(rèn)可。need需要；interest興趣；dream夢想；effort努力。58.上下文語境題。但是在這期間，Hannah依然過著正常的校園生活。for因?yàn)?；through在整個期間；besides除……之外(還)；along沿著。59.上下文語境題。根據(jù)上下文可知，在做慈善的過程中，她依舊過著普通(normal)校園女孩的生活，和其他女孩并無區(qū)別，只是常常要去探望無家可歸的人。healthy健康的；public公共的；normal平常的，正常的；tough困難的。60.上文語境題。根據(jù)上文內(nèi)容可知，Hannah是通過自己的努力改變世界的年輕人之一。makeadifference使變得不同，有影響，符合語境。makeachoice做出選擇；makea

profit賺取利潤；makeajudgement做出判斷。
