B．Itisboring.C．Itisexciting.D．Itisrelaxing.C 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段第一句中的“Themostfantasticevent”以及最后一段中的“ausefuladdition”和“gaininvaluableknowledge”可知，作者对这次经历的描述是非常积极和正面的，因此可以推断出，在大使馆工作是令作者兴奋的。二、语法填空。Onedayayoungmanwaswalkingalongtheroadwhenheheardacry.Itseemed__1__(come)fromunderneathabridge.Asheapproachedthebridge,thesoundgotlouderandthenhesaw__2__pitifulsight.There,__3__(lie)inthemuddyriverbed,wasalittledogabouttwomonthsold,__4__frontlegsweretightlytiedwithropes.9\nIthadwoundsonitsheadandwascoveredwithmud.Theyoungmanwantedtohelpthedog,butasheapproached,thedogstartedtobark.Theyoungmandidnotgiveup.Hesatdownandstarted__5__(gentle)talkingtothedog.Ittookalongtimebuteventuallythedog__6__(stop)barkingandthemanwasabletotouchit.Theyoungmancarriedthedoghome,cared__7__itswounds,andgaveitfoodandwater.Evenwithallofthis,thedogwasstill__8__(friend)everytimetheyoungmanapproached.Buttheyoungmandidnotgiveup.Weekswentbyandthemancontinued__9__(attend)tothedog.Thenoneday,astheyoungmanapproached,thedogwaggeditstail.__10__wasconsistentloveandkindnessthatwonalifelongfriendshipofloyalty.1．________ 2.________ 3.________ 4.________ 5.________ 6.________ 7.________ 8.________ 9.________ 10.________篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。一个年轻人在大桥下拯救了一只受伤被弃的狗，尽管小狗一开始不太友好，但他仍十分耐心地照顾它，最终小狗接纳了他。这个故事告诉人们，只有始终如一的爱才能赢得终身忠诚的友谊。1．tobecoming 考查非谓语动词。句意：哀叫声好像来自桥下面。seemtodosth.“似乎要做某事”。根据句意可知，声音是正在传过来，应用动词不定式的进行时。故填tobecoming。2．a 考查冠词。sight是第一次出现的单数可数名词，故填不定冠词a，表泛指。3．lying 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，这是一个therebe句型。动词lie与其逻辑主语dog之间是主动关系，应用现在分词表伴随。故填lying。4．whose 考查定语从句的引导词。分析句子结构可知，关系词引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词dog，且从句主语frontlegs与先行词为所属关系，故填whose。5．gently 考查词性转换。应用副词修饰动词短语，故填所给词gentle的副词形式gently。6．stopped 考查动词的时态。根据上文提示词took可知，事情发生在过去，故填动词的过去式stopped。7．for 考查介词。carefor是固定搭配，意为“照顾”。故填介词for。8．unfriendly 考查词性转换。根据前后语境，尤其是关键词“even”和“still”可知，此处是表否定意义；be动词后接形容词，作表语。故填unfriendly，意为“不友好的”。9．attending 考查非谓语动词。continuedoing9\nsth.意为“继续做某事”，故填attending。10．It 考查强调句。“Itis/was＋被强调部分＋that...”是强调句结构，故填it。三、完形填空。阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可能填入空白处的最佳选项。ALettertoMyDadFouryearsagowefoundoutaboutthecancergrowinginsideyou.Youtoldmethenewsthatithadalreadyspreadandthatyoudidn'tknowhowlongyouhad__1__.Iwasstillatuniversity.Aparentdyingwassomethingthathappenedto__2__people—peopleolderthanme.Ispentthefirstfewmonthsin__3__.ForthefirsttimeIfelt__4__.IwishedIcouldjust__5__youandtakethecancerout.ButtherewasnothingIcoulddo.We'vebeen__6__.Youreactedwelltotreatmentandyou'restillhere，thoughwedon'tknowforhowmuch__7__.I'vealwayswantedtosaythatIloveyou，andthatI'm__8__foreverythingyou'vegivenme.ButIcan't.Itfeelslikeitisthisunwritten__9__inourfathersonrelationshipthat__10__it.You'reamanconservativeandguardedwithyour__11__.Youkeepthemtoyourselfand__12__otherstodothesame.ButIknowyou__13__.I'veseenyourproudlookswhenI'vetoldyouaboutmy__14__atworkandschoolovertheyears.I'veseenyour__15__whenthingshaven'tgonewell.Irememberalltheoffersofhelp.Iwishwecouldtalkaboutwhatwe__16__toeachother.Iwishyoucouldtellmeyou're__17__andIcouldtellyouIloveyou.Iwishthese__18__conceptsofmasculinity(男子气概)weren'tsodeeply__19__inbothofus.Maybewewillstillseeourwaytothat__20__beforeyougo.Butwhateverthecase，Ijustneedtosayit—Iloveyou，andthankyou.1．A.waited

四年前作者发现父亲身患癌症，癌细胞已经扩散，因此，此处指不知道还能活多久。howlongyouhadleft是“你还剩下多长时间”的意思，left用作后置定语。故选B项。2．C 根据该空后的peopleolderthanme可判断，作者以为父(母)亲垂死这件事只会发生在比他年龄更大的人身上。故选C项。3．D indoubt意为“怀疑”；inanger意为“生气地”；invain意为“徒劳无益地”；inshock意为“震惊地；吃惊地”。听到父亲患癌这件事，作者当然是长时间地感到震惊。故选D项。刷有所得·方法：做完形填空题时，有些题要注意该空前后的介词、副词等。有时需要分别把选项与前后的介词、副词相搭配，再判断它们搭配后哪个短语的意思更符合上下文的逻辑。4．A 根据下文ButtherewasnothingIcoulddo.可知，作者什么都做不了，由此可推测，此处指作者感到无能为力。powerless意为“无能为力的”；nervous意为“紧张不安的；焦虑的”；lost意为“迷路的；不知所措的”；bored意为“厌烦的；烦闷的”。根据语境可知选A项。5．A 根据下文andtakethecancerout可知，此处指作者希望可以进入父亲的身体拿走癌细胞。reachinto意为“伸进；伸入”；turnto意为“转向；求助于”；standby意为“袖手旁观；支持”；lookinto意为“调查”。故选A项。6．B 根据该空后面的Youreactedwelltotreatmentandyou'restillhere可知，作者的父亲对治疗反应很好并且依然还活着，所以作者一家感觉是幸运的(lucky)。故选B项。confused意为“困惑的；混乱的”；active意为“积极的”；hopeless意为“没有希望的”。7．C 父亲的治疗效果很好，“我们”很幸运，虽然不知道父亲还能坚持多久，但是他还活着。better意为“更好”；deeper意为“更深”；longer意为“更长久”；further意为“更远”。故选C项。8．B 根据设空后的everythingyou'vegivenme可知，作者在此表达对父亲的感激之情。eager意为“渴望的；热切的”；grateful意为“感激的”；regretful意为“遗憾的；后悔的”；desperate意为“绝望的”。故选B项。9．D 句意为：好像在我们的父子关系上就是这不成文的规则阻止了这句话被说出口。unwrittenrule意为“不成文的规则”，符合语境。故选D项。10．A 根据下文的You'reamanconservative和Youkeepthemto9\nyourself可知，父亲很保守，所以这一不成文的规则阻止了父爱的表达。prevent意为“阻止；防止”；change意为“改变”；destroy意为“破坏；摧毁”；transform意为“使改观；使转化”。故选A项。11．B guarded意为“谨慎的”，结合下文的Youkeepthemtoyourself可知，此处指父亲是一个保守的、对情感(feelings)谨慎的人。conservativeandguardedwithyourfeelings作后置定语，修饰前面的aman。故选B项。illness意为“疾病”；belongings意为“所有物”；opinion意为“观点”。12．B 根据前文对父亲的描述conservative,guardedwithyour________可知，父亲收敛自己的感情，希望别人也这样做。require意为“要求”；expect意为“期望；盼望”；allow意为“允许”；persuade意为“劝说；说服”。故选B项。13．C 根据下文的I'veseenyourproudlooks可知，父亲是很在意儿子的。lie意为“撒谎”；understand意为“理解”；care意为“在意；在乎”；fear意为“害怕”。故选C项。14．A 根据前面的yourproudlooks可知，父亲自豪的应该是作者取得的成就(achievements)。故选A项。difficulty意为“困难”；goal意为“目标”；experience意为“经历”。15．D 根据设空后的whenthingshaven'tgonewell及Irememberalltheoffersofhelp.可知，当事情进展不顺利时，父亲会主动提供帮助，因此可知，父亲是关心儿子的。power意为“力量；权力”；anger意为“愤怒；生气”；curiosity意为“好奇心”；concern意为“担心；忧虑”。故选D项。16．D 结合下文Iwishyoucouldtellmeyou're________andIcouldtellyouIloveyou.可知，作者希望父亲能够告诉他父亲是如何想的，作者也能告诉父亲作者爱他。由此可推测，此处指作者希望能够与父亲谈论他们对彼此意味着(mean)什么。故选D项。17．C 根据上文的yourproudlooks可知，此处指作者希望父亲能够告诉他父亲为他而自豪。conservative意为“守旧的；保守的”；brave意为“勇敢的”；proud意为“骄傲的；自豪的”；helpful意为“有帮助的”。故选C项。18．A 根据上一题解析及空后的masculinity可知，此处指作者希望这些荒谬的大男子观念不会在他和父亲的心中根深蒂固。absurd意为“荒唐的；可笑的”，符合语境。故选A项。important意为“重要的”；useful意为“有用的”；popular意为“流行的”。19．C 根据语境可知，此处指作者希望这样的大男子观念不要根深蒂固。lostin意为“迷失在……”；trappedin意为“陷入”；rootedin意为“植根于；深植于”；coveredin意为“被……覆盖”故选C项。20．D 根据上文的talkabout可知，此处指作者与父亲的谈话(conversation)。故选D项。9\n四、短文改错。Timeflies!ThisisathirdyearthatIhavebeeninthisschool.Inthepasttwoandahalfyears,ourschoolhadorganizedmanyactivities.Whatimpressedmemostwasanactivitycalled“LearningtoFarm”.Inanautumnafternoon,weweresenttoafarmwhichwelearnttoplantpotatoes.Havingbeeninthecityforsoalongtime,weweresohappytogotothecountryside.Afterdividedintothreegroups,westartedtowork.Somestudentscutpotatoesintopieces,somedugholes,andtheothersputthepiecesofpotatoesintothehole,puttheearthbackandpushedthemdownhard.Wecontinueddoingthatuntilalltheworkwasdone.Althoughwewereexhausted,butwefeltfulfilledonourwaybackhome.答案：Timeflies!ThisisthirdyearthatIhavebeeninthisschool.Inthepasttwoandahalfyears,ourschoolorganizedmanyactivities.Whatimpressedmemostwasanactivity“LearningtoFarm”.anautumnafternoon,weweresenttoafarmwelearnttoplantpotatoes.Havingbeeninthecityforalongtime,weweresohappytogotothecountryside.Afterdividedintothreegroups,westartedtowork.Somestudentscutpotatoesintopieces,somedugholes,andtheothersputthepiecesofpotatoesintothe，puttheearthbackandpusheddownhard.Wecontinueddoingthatuntilalltheworkwasdone.Althoughwewereexhausted,wefeltfulfilledonourwaybackhome.难项分析：第二处：had→has 考查动词的时态。当时间状语为Inthepast...years时，句子通常用现在完成时。故had应改为has。第五处：which前加on或which→where 考查定语从句。本句中，afarm之后的部分为定语从句，修饰先行词farm，关系词在从句中作状语，表地点，应用关系副词where；where也可以由onwhich代替。故which前加介词on或者将which改为where。9\n第十处：去掉but或but→yet 考查连词。although与but不能同时出现在一个复合句中，但yet可以。故此处应去掉but或将but改为yet。五、七选五。9
