Dway【解題導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇記敘文。作者通過講述駕車途中的所見所感，并聯(lián)想到自己家中曾經(jīng)的火災(zāi)事件對他自身觀念的影響，由此闡述了自己的感受：世上最重要的東西不是物質(zhì)占有量，而在于精神世界的豐富，只有這樣人才能感到快樂。1B根據(jù)“the golden sunshine _1_ off the leaves”可知，此處意為“樹葉反射出金色的陽光”。reflect“反射”符合語境。appreciate“感激，欣賞”；admire“欽佩，贊賞”；release“釋放，發(fā)行”。2C根據(jù)空前一句中的“smiled”和空后的“heavenly”及下文中的“calm”可知，作者當(dāng)時的心情是平靜愉快的，故peaceful符合語境。refreshing“使人精力充沛的”；delightful“討人喜歡的，令人愉快的”；peaceful“平靜的，寧靜的”；dynamic“動力的，有活力的”。3A根據(jù)空前的“My calm was broken”可知，空處所在句與上文構(gòu)成轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，故though“可是，不過”符合語境。too“太，也”；anyway“不管怎樣，無論如何”；instead“相反”。4A根據(jù)空前一句中的“truck was ing my way several feet over the center line”可知，作者盡量把車子往路邊開來躲開卡車。miss“避開，躲開(不好或討厭的事)”；reject“排斥，丟掉”；ignore“忽視，不理睬”；desert“遺棄，丟棄”。5B根據(jù)上文可知，一輛卡車越過了中心線幾英尺向作者的方向駛來，結(jié)合語境可知，這輛大卡車后還跟著另外兩輛同樣大的(large)卡車，故選B。6D根據(jù)語境可知，作者不知道三輛卡車上的東西是否屬于(belonged to)同一個人。belong to“屬于”；turn to“轉(zhuǎn)向，求助于”；refer to“參考，提到”；react to“對作出反應(yīng)”。7D根據(jù)語境可知，作者放慢車速來平靜心情調(diào)整心率。故follow“跟隨，追趕”符合語境。beat“打敗，拍打”；pulse“跳動，搏動”；accelerate“加速，增加”。8A該句中的It was then that是強調(diào)句型，意思是“就在那時”。作者在平靜心情時注意到路旁的一個自助存儲公司。notice“注意到”；establish“建立，創(chuàng)辦”。9C根據(jù)語境可知，這些設(shè)備是為那些無法把所有物(possessions)存儲到自己的房子里的人而建的。possession“所有物，財產(chǎn)”符合語境。furniture“家具，設(shè)備”；material“材料”。10B根據(jù)空后一句中的“a couple just out of their teens”可知，此處young“年輕的”符合語境。middleaged“中年的”。11A根據(jù)該句中的“could already have too much stuff(可能已經(jīng)擁有太多的東西)”可知，作者對此感到奇怪，故curious“稀奇古怪的”符合語境。apparent“顯然的，表面上的”；certain“必然的，有把握的”；obvious“明顯的，顯然的”。12D根據(jù)語境可知，夜半時分一場大火燒毀了作者家中的一切，因此作者不再有擁有(很多)東西的興趣(taste)。taste“愛好，興趣”符合語境。hope“希望”； talent“才能，天資”；faith“信仰，信念”。13C根據(jù)空前的“had awakened”和空后的“escape”可知，作者全家及時(in time)醒來逃了出去。in return“作為回報”；in turn“反過來，輪流”；in vain“徒勞”。14B根據(jù)空后的“What was important was”和空前的“none of it”可知，空處所填詞與important意思相同，故significant“重要的，有意義的”符合語境。affordable“買得起的”；beneficial“有益的”；practical“實用的”。15C根據(jù)生活常識可知，父親打盹應(yīng)該是在一天的艱辛工作之后(after)。16D根據(jù)空前的“What was important was the stuff of”及空后的“not the stuff of this world”可知，空處所填詞與“this world”形成對比，再結(jié)合上文內(nèi)容可知，作者認(rèn)為精神世界的豐富更為重要。soul“(人類整體的)精神狀況”符合語境。mind“頭腦，智力”。17A根據(jù)上文中的“not the stuff of this world”可知，作者從此努力限制自己購買(purchase)東西的數(shù)量。下文中的“buy”亦是提示，故選A。donate“捐贈”；waste“浪費”；need“需要”。18B根據(jù)語境可知，此處表示作者不想讓太多的物品充斥自己的生活。故crowd up符合語境。put up“張貼，搭建”；bring up“撫養(yǎng)，養(yǎng)育，提出”；set up“建立”。19C根據(jù)空后的“my family and others”可以推斷此處意為“愛我的家人和他人”，故選C。abuse“濫用”；affect“影響”。20B根據(jù)語境可知，此處表示只有這樣做作者才能開心。make sb.s day為固定用法，意為“使某人非常高興”。四、短文改錯。Chinese is one of the worlds most widely spoken

a billion speakers.Outside of China，Chinese in some form is spoken Chinese munities worldwide.The different kinds of Chinese language use same script.While someone from the north of China may need the speech of someone from the south interpreted, it is not usually necessary to have written documents .In the early century，a government language policy created Modern Standard Chinese， is now the official language of China.It is one of the official of the United Nations to develop more munication.第一處：much改為many。考查限定詞。根據(jù)下文的可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)“types”可知，此處應(yīng)用many修飾。第二處：had改為has?？疾闀r態(tài)。根據(jù)文章可知，此處描述客觀情況，故用一般現(xiàn)在時。第三處：在Chinese前加by?？疾榻樵~。根據(jù)語境可知，此處表示漢語“被”說，故應(yīng)添加by，表示“被，由”。第四處：a改為the?？疾楣谠~。the same表示“相同的”。第五處：刪除but?？疾檫B詞。句首While意為“盡管，雖然”，不能和but連用。第六處：translating改為translated?？疾榉侵^語動詞。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，此處為have sth.done結(jié)構(gòu)，表示“使某事被做”，故應(yīng)用過去分詞作賓語補足語。第七處：twenty改為twentieth?？疾樾驍?shù)詞。此處應(yīng)用序數(shù)詞表示“在二十世紀(jì)早期”。第八處：that改為which?？疾槎ㄕZ從句。that不能引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句，且此處關(guān)系代詞在從句中作主語，先行詞是Modern Standard Chinese，故將that改為which。第九處：language改為languages?？疾楣潭ㄓ梅??！皁ne of可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)”為固定用法，故此處應(yīng)用名詞復(fù)數(shù)形式。第十處：effectively改為effective?？疾樾稳菰~。此處應(yīng)用形容詞修飾名詞，表示“更有效的溝通”。
