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。9\n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

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Youkeepthemtoyourself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

根据上文的talkabout可知，此处指作者与父亲的谈话(conversation)。故选D项。四、单句改错1．Roseisreallycomforttoallofus.Shebringsusalotoffunandhappiness.______________________________________________________答案：comfort前加a comfort表示“舒适；舒服；安慰”讲时为不可数名词，作“令人安慰的人或事”讲时为可数名词，即此处为“抽象名词具体化”的用法。2．Occupyingwithvariousresearchprojectsallday,hewastiredout.______________________________________________________答案：Occupying→Occupied (be)occupiedwith...“忙着做……；忙于某事物”，形容词短语在句中作状语。3．SincehearrivedinBeijing,hehasadjustedtoeatthenorthernfoodgradually.______________________________________________________9\n答案：eat→eating 该词组中的to为介词，故后接名词或动名词。adjustto(doing)sth.“适应(做)某事”。4．ThequestionthatmanystudentsarepuzzledaboutishowimprovetheiroralEnglish.______________________________________________________答案：how后加to “特殊疑问词＋todo不定式短语”在该句中作表语。5．Charliechaplinisacknowledgedofoneofthemostoutstandingcomediansinthehistoryofcinema.______________________________________________________答案：第一个of→as beacknowledgedas...“被公认为/被认为是……”。五、短文改错InthevillagewhereIgrewup,everyoneknewanoldman,thatspentallhistimeinpainting.Peoplethatlivedinthevillageusedtoadmiringhisworksandheoftengavehispaintingstohisfriends.Whetherhewasofferedmoney,hewouldnevertakeit.Hesaidhepaintedforapleasure.Heoncegaveoneofhispaintingstomyfather,whoactuallywasn’tinterestinginart.YearslaterIfoundatouroldhouse.Bythattimetheoldmanhaddiedandpeoplehadstartedtorecognizehispaintingsasgreatworkofart,whichwereworthlotsofmoney.Soanartgallerymakemeanofferof$5，000forthispaintingandInearlysoldit,sothenIdecidednotto.Itremindsmeofmychildhoodandoftheoldmanwhodidn’trealwanttomakemoneybypainting.答案：InthevillagewhereIgrewup,everyoneknewanoldman,spentallhistimeinpainting.Peoplethatlivedinthevillageusedtohisworksandheoftengavehispaintingstohisfriends.hewasofferedmoney,hewouldnevertakeit.Hesaidhepaintedforpleasure.Heoncegaveoneofhispaintingstomyfather,whoactuallywasn’tinart.YearslaterIfoundatouroldhouse.Bythattimetheoldmanhaddiedandpeoplehadstartedtorecognizehispaintingsasgreatofart,whichwereworthlotsofmoney.Soanartgallerymeanofferof$5，000forthispaintingandInearlysoldit,thenIdecidednotto.Itremindsmeofmychildhoodandoftheoldmanwhodidn’twanttomakemoneybypainting.9\n9
