2.A.bentover B.showedup C.laydown D.brokeinomplained8.A.until B.nowthat C.unless D.sothat語篇解讀:這是一篇記敘文。作者小的時候在閣樓上的地板下意外地發(fā)現(xiàn)了“金子”,但母親告訴作者,作者發(fā)現(xiàn)的不是金子而是隔熱材料。當作者把隔熱材料放回去的時候,發(fā)現(xiàn)了一本關于短文、短語和諺語的書。這本書對作者的幫助很大。作者認為被發(fā)現(xiàn)的這本書才是“金子”。答案及剖析:1.Dslowed放慢;calmed使平靜;looked看;fell落下。由“withmyhandlandingonafloorboard”可知,作者是摔倒了。故D項切題。2.Abentover彎腰;showedup出現(xiàn);laydown躺下;brokein破門而入。由“l(fā)ookedinsidetheopenspace”可知,彎下腰才能向里看,才能發(fā)現(xiàn)“金子”。故A項切題。3.Ayelled叫喊;sighed嘆息;admitted承認;plained抱怨。由“Mama.Ifoundgolduphereunderthefloor!”可知,作者以為在地板下面發(fā)現(xiàn)了金子,所以會很興奮而大叫,故A項切題。4.C句意:……但是我的兄弟們差點把我撞倒……前后語意表示轉折,所以but符合句意。5.Asimply簡單地,只是;thoughtfully周全地;honestly誠實地;angrily生氣地。因為作者的母親知道那是隔熱材料,所以她很平靜。故A項切題。6.Ddifference不同;choice選擇;mistake錯誤;discovery發(fā)現(xiàn)。句意:我原以為,我真的發(fā)現(xiàn)了什么。前文的found與madearealdiscovery相對應。故D項切題。7.Csat坐;slid滑動;reached觸及,夠到;walked走。作者是從彈起的地板里拿出的“金子”,所以把手伸進去,才能送回原地。故C項切題。8.Buntil直到;nowthat既然;unless除非;sothat以至于。句意:既然我感到無聊,我決定看看這本小書里寫了什么。分析句子可知,前后句表示因果關系。故B項切題。9.Dabsurd荒謬的;controversial有爭議的;boring令人厭煩的;interesting有趣的。由下文可知,這本書對作者產生了積極的影響,作者上大學后都一直把它帶在身邊,推斷這本書是很有趣的。故D項切題。10.Dtended易于;offered提供;managed應對;hesitated猶豫。因為作者不知道如何把事情表達清楚,所以在談論事情的時候總是猶猶豫豫的。故D項切題。11.Cexpect期望;remember記得;realize意識到;imagine想象。讀完這本書,作者突然明白了什么,所以是這本書幫助作者意識到了自己不需要感到羞愧……,故C項切題。12.Aembarrassed尷尬的;satisfied滿意的;astonished驚訝的;tired疲憊的。or所連接的兩個詞都是貶義形容詞。所以embarrassed“尷尬的”符合句意。13.B句意:這些年來,我一直保留著我最初的那本書……這里的copy指的是作者發(fā)現(xiàn)的那本書。故B項切題。14.Ddilemma進退兩難;disaster災難;pity同情;coincidence巧合。由前文可知,作者意外發(fā)現(xiàn)了“金子”,碰巧發(fā)現(xiàn)了這本書。故D項切題。15.Bstill仍然;indeed事實上;normally正常地;hopefully有希望地。這本書對作者產生了積極的影響,所以作者把這本書比喻成了“金子”。所以用indeed來強調這本書對作者自己的價值和意義。故B項切題。能力提升題組訓練(B)Ⅰ.閱讀A(2019廣州調研)Petrolanddieselcarsmaystilldominateourroads,buttheirdaysarenumbered.Arecentuniversitystudyfoundthatcurrentelectriccarscouldbeusedfor87percentofdailycarjourneysintheUS.Thatfigurecouldriseto98percentby2020.Onehurdletothewidespreadadoptionofelectriccarshasbeen“rangeanxiety”—drivers’concernsaboutrunningoutofelectricityonajourney.Whilepetrolstationsareconvenientlylocatedacrossnationalroadsystems,thenecessarynetworkofelectricchargingstationsisstillbeingdeveloped.Thatsaid,chargingpointsarebeingincreasinglymonthroughouttheUSA.Attitudestowardselectricvehicleshavechangedquiteconsiderablyoverthelastfewyears.Notthatlongago,electriccarsweremetwithdistrust,andtheirlargepricetagsdrovecustomersaway.Thankstoimprovementsinbatterycapacity,rechargingtimes,performanceandprice,thecurrentgenerationofelectriccarsisstartingtopersuadecritics.Plugincarswillsoongiveinternalbustionenginemodelsarunfortheirmoney.Aswellasadvancementsontheroad,electricvehiclesaretakingtotheseasandskies.Electricboatsareamongtheoldestmethodsofelectrictravel,havingenjoyedseveraldecadesofpopularityfromthelate19thtotheearly20thcenturybeforepetrolpoweredoutboardmotorstookover.Now,theglobaldriveforrenewableenergysourcesisbringingelectricboatsback.Stepstowardselectricairtravelarealsobeingmade,withAirbusandNASAamongtheorganizationsdevelopingandtestingbatterypoweredplanes.Theexperimentscouldsoonmakemercialelectricflightareality.Electricvehiclesdonotproduceanyemissions.WeretheUStoactonthestudy’sfindingsandreplace87percentofitscarswithelectricvehicles,itwouldreducethenationaldemandforpetrolby61percent.However,becauseoftheproductionprocessesandthegenerationofelectricityrequiredtochargethesevehicles,theycannotclaimtobepletelyemissionfree.Thatsaid,asmanycountriescontinuetoincreasetheiruseofrenewableenergysources,electricvehicleswillbeeevencleaner.1.Whichisthebesttitleforthispassage?A.MyDreamCar B.HistoryofElectricCarsC.ProblemswithPetrolCars D.DrivingintotheFuture2.AsusedinParagraph2,theunderlinedword“hurdle”means.
