Question

The first time I remember noticing I remember noticing the crossing guard was when he waved to me as I drove my son to school. He 16 me with a puzzle ---- all because he waved to me like someone does 17 seeing a close friend. A big, 18 smile accompanied his wave. For the next few days I tried to 19 his face to see if I knew him. I didn’t. Perhaps he had 20 me for someone else. By the time I contented myself with the 21 that he and I were strangers, we were greeting each other warmly every morning like old friends.
Then one day the 22 was solved. As I 23 the school he was standing in the middle of the road 24 his stop sign. I was in live behind four cars. 25 the kids had reached the safety of the sidewalk, he lowered his sign and let the cars 26. To the first he waved and 27 in just the same way he had done to me over the last few days. The kids already had the window down and were happily waving their reply. The second car got the same 28 from the crossing guard, and the driver, a stiff-looking（表情刻板的） businessman, gave a brief, almost 29 wave back. Each following car of kids on their way to school 30 more heartily.
Every morning I continued to watch the man with 31. So far I haven’t seen anyone 32 to wave back. I find it interesting that one person can make such a（n） 33 to so many people’s lives by doing one simple thing like waving and smiling warmly. His 34 armed the start of my day. With a friendly wave and smiling face he had changed the 35 of the whole neighbourhood.

Answer 1

16-20 CADBC  21-25 ACBDA  26-30 BCDAB  31-35 CADBD

16. 考查動詞。根據(jù)下文，“he and I were strangers”，但是“he waved to me like someone does on seeing a close friend，”所以這不合常理，“present（呈現(xiàn)，呈送）me with a puzzle”。
17. 考查介詞。根據(jù)常識，人們一見到親密朋友就會揮手問候，on doing sth. “一……就”，故選“on”。
18. 考查形容詞。和上文 a close friend 相照應，人們見到朋友會呈現(xiàn)“燦爛的”笑容，故選bright“歡快的，興高采烈的，燦爛的”。
19. 考查動詞。因為作者不認識他，所以作者想努力觀察他的臉以確定是否認識他。study “仔細端詳，仔細察看，研究”。
20. 考查動詞短語。 the crossing guard的熱情與陌生人的身份不符，所以作者認為他是誤把自己當成了別人。
21. 考查名詞。作者雖然不理解，但還是高興地接受了這一“結(jié)果”conclusion  “結(jié)論，結(jié)果”， description “描述”，evaluation  “評估，評價”，introduction“介紹，引言”。
22. 考查名詞。作者之前只能猜想，認為是神秘的事。本題可用排除法，文中不存在argument（爭論、辯論），也沒有意見上的分歧（disagreement），也不是任務（task）。
23. 考查動詞。 根據(jù)下文Each following car of kids on their way to school 30，可知是作者送兒子前往學校的路上。approach “靠近，接近”。
24. 考查動詞短語。 根據(jù)常識，交警指揮交通會舉出他的標志牌。draw back “撤退，撤回”， put on “穿上”， hand in “上交”， hold out“伸出，拿出，舉出”。
25. 考查連詞。他放下標志牌的前提是孩子們到達馬路的安全區(qū)域，所以選once 引導條件狀語從句。
26. 考查介詞。車輛是從馬路中間穿過，只有through 有此意。
27. 考查動詞。 和上文A big, 18 smile accompanied his wave 相照應。
28. 考查名詞。向別人微笑和揮手都是一種問候。
29. 考查形容詞。 根據(jù)上文對businessman 的描述 stiff-looking(表情刻板的), 所以他的揮手是awkward “笨拙的，不靈活的”，elegant“優(yōu)雅的”，patient “耐心的”。
30. 考查動詞。后面的車輛對交警的“反應”更加開心快樂。本題heartily 是副詞，故排除A、D， 再根據(jù)題意排除C。
31. 考查名詞。作者對其產(chǎn)生了好感，故會以感興趣的眼光來觀察他。
32. 考查動詞。 此句是雙重否定，作者沒見到任何不向這個交警回以揮手的人。前已有否定詞，只有A選項表否定，fail to do sth.“未能做某事”。
33. 考查名詞在固定短語中的意思辨析。 “make a difference” means “to have an important effect on a thing or a situation”(有影響，使不同)。sacrifice（犧牲）不合題意。
34. 考查名詞。 effectiveness “有效性”，cheerfulness “快樂，開朗，欣然熱情”， carefulness“細心”，seriousness“嚴肅”。
35. 考查名詞和動詞搭配。他改變了鄰里之間的“感情”，本題考查動賓搭配，其他三項都不能做“改變”的賓語。
