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”。三、七選五(2018石家莊市高中畢業(yè)班第二次模擬)Summer is a time to look

Find out whats on the other side of that lake.”可知，該空應(yīng)該講的是在本地走一走；D項的意思是“在你自己所在的城市進(jìn)行一些探索”，符合文意，所以選D項。5答案與解析：A空處是該段的主題句，根據(jù)本段內(nèi)容可知，作者建議去海灘、水上公園，因此本段講的是怎么避暑，A項“Beat the heat”的意思就是“避暑”，所以選A項。四、書面表達(dá)你的英國朋友Jim所在的學(xué)校要組織學(xué)生來中國旅行，有兩條線路可以選擇：長江之行或者泰山之旅。Jim來信希望你能給些建議。請你給他回信，內(nèi)容包括：1.你建議的線路；2.你的理由；3.你的祝愿。注意：1. 詞數(shù)80左右；2. 可以適當(dāng)增加細(xì)節(jié)，以使行文連貫。Dear Jim, Yours,Li Hua【寫作指導(dǎo)】本文為提綱類作文。首先，學(xué)生要仔細(xì)閱讀提示，弄清試題提供的所有信息，明確有哪些要點。 其次，要注意提綱是文章的總體框架，要在提綱的范圍內(nèi)進(jìn)行分析、構(gòu)思和想象。要依據(jù)提示情景或詞語， 按照一定邏輯關(guān)系來寫。 最后，要根據(jù)要表達(dá)的內(nèi)容確定句子的時態(tài),語態(tài)；語言表達(dá)要符合英語習(xí)慣。本文是一封信，按照內(nèi)容要求可以確定文章的框架結(jié)構(gòu)，三段式，其中第一段寫你所建議的路線，第二部分是本文的主體，要闡述你所建議的路線的原因，好讓 他們有很好的掌握，最后一段，提出你的祝愿。寫作時要注意準(zhǔn)確運用時態(tài)、語態(tài)、上下文意思連貫，符合邏輯關(guān)系。根據(jù)句意適當(dāng)使用并列連詞，同時也要合理運用高級詞匯和高級句子為文章增色添彩?！玖咙c說明】本文內(nèi)容齊全，結(jié)構(gòu)嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)，層次分明，布局合理，語言精練，同時運用高級句子。表語從句的使用：Thats why I think the trip along the Yangtze will be a better choice.高級詞匯的使用：highly remended。連接詞的合理使用：Personally，moreover。
