C seat ‎ 解析：关键名词就在后面waiting room。这个词break有可能选，但是break之前一定要很紧张才行，这里老汉没有紧张。‎ ‎37. D telling ‎ 解析：护士对一个老汉能做的动作，最符合逻辑的是telling，告诉。 promising 表示许诺，有可能选，再看宾语就可以排除，at least 40 minutes 没有一个承诺是这样子的，我保证你至少要等四十分钟，不是承诺这是诅咒。‎ ‎38. B before 解析：在医生诊断他之前要等待。‎ ‎39. C look at ‎ 解析：看动作的发出者，一个焦急的老汉会做的动作，肯定是look at 看手表这个选项。 ‎ ‎40. D not ‎41. A turn up ‎ 解析：词组，表示“出现”的意思。这里要注意破折号表示解释说明，我不是很忙，因为我的病人在appointed hour 里面没有出现。appoint 这个词除了任命的意思，还有约时间的意思。B. show off 是“炫耀”的意思。‎ ‎42. A needed ‎ 解析：考察动词搭配，用排除法。B forget是“忘记”，他忘记了回去吃饭这样的事情，不算一个appointment。C agree to do是“同意做某件事情”，在文中没人提要求，所以不存在同意不同意。D happen to do“碰巧做某事”。 ‎ ‎43. B wife ‎ 解析：名词找重复，这里重复再后面，刚做的时候放一放，第五段的第一句出现了marriage,表示他们俩曾经有一段，那么选老婆这个选项。‎ ‎44. D there 解析：she had been there 表示的是她已经在那个nursing home 里面有一段时间了，有难度，其他几个选项的中文意思比较模棱两可， A. late 要迟到的是老头子，不是他老婆。 B. well 她老婆身体很健康。 C.老婆曾经在他身边。‎ ‎45. B worried 解析：根据词义辨析。lonely“孤独的”，worried 是“焦虑的，担心的”的意思，doubtful“怀疑的”，hungry“饥饿的”。‎ ‎46. C no longer 解析：结合后文，49空那句话给出了很好的对应。neither 表示否定2者。‎ ‎47. A recognize 解析：之前见过，现在认不出来。‎ ‎48. C surprised ‎ 解析：表示惊讶。选项moved干扰度比较大，需要对全文的态度进行把握，文中进行到这里并没有很明显的作者的正面态度出现，证据就在于他的那个问句：你知道她不认识你，还是每天早上要去陪她？这句话显然不是一个正面态度的体现，而真正的态度转正的地方在倒数第二段，他忍住泪水，所以这里不能选moved这个表示正面态度的词语。‎ ‎49. D still 解析：表示状态的持续，B. then 表示时间先后，C. thus 表示因果。‎ ‎50. B tear 解析：关键在前面的动词hold back忍住，忍回去。忍回去的只有泪水。‎ ‎51. A realize 解析：realize表示主观意识到。‎ ‎52. C acceptance 解析：真爱就是对于所有一切的接受。本题点明了文章的主旨，老人不管妻子患病与否都始终不离不弃，所以是接受了一切，无论好坏。‎ ‎53. A necessarily ‎ 解析：这个词的意思是必要地，这句话的意思是最幸福的人并不一定是一个拥有所有最好东西的人。‎ ‎54. B make 解析：考查动词和名词的搭配， make the best of充分利用，就是说他们可以没有最好的东西，但是他们充分利用了他们所拥有的东西。C选项favor 不能选，因为表示的意思是偏好，在这里没有比较爱人认得你还是不认得你，所以不选。‎ ‎55. D Life 解析：生活并不是要经历暴风雨，而是要学会苦中作乐。‎ Passage 3‎ ‎(10·辽宁)‎ When I first entered university, my aunt, who is an English professor, gave me a new English dictionary. I was __36___to see that it was an English English dictionary, also known as a monolingual dictionary._37___it was a dictionary intended for non—native learners, none of my classmates had one __38__, to be honest, I found it extremely __39_ to use at first. I would look up words in the dictionary and _40__ not fully understand the meaning. I was used to the __41__ bilingual dictionaries, in which the words are _42__ both in English and Chinese. I really wondered why my aunt __43_ to make things so difficult for me. Now, after studying English at university for three years, I _44__ that monolingual dictionaries are __45_ in learning a foreign language ‎ As I found out, there is __46_ often no perfect equivalence(对应)between two _47___ in two language. My aunt even goes so far as to 48___ that a Chinese “equivalent” can never give you the __49___ meaning of a word in English! ___50_ , she insisted that I read the definition(定义) of a world in a monolingual dictionary __51___ I wanted to get a better understanding of its meaning. ____52__, I have come to see what she meant. ‎ Using a monolingual dictionary for learners has helped me in another important way. This dictionary uses a(n) 53 number of words, around 2, 000, in its definitions. When I read these definitions, I am 54 exposed to（接触）the basic words and learn how they are used to explain objects and ideas. 55 this, I can ‎ express myself more easily in English.‎ ‎36.A．worried B．sad C．surprised D．nervous ‎ 这是一篇记叙文，作者主要描写自己从最初接触英英词典的惊异，到习惯使用英英词典以及使用英语词典的好处。‎ ‎36.C 。 通读全文可知，作者是一个中国大学生，中国人学英语，尤其是初学者习惯使用英汉词典。当作者看到英英词典的时候，他感到“吃惊”。‎ ‎37.A．Because B．Although C．Unless D．If ‎37.B。前后两句在意义上是让步关系，所以用although引导让步状语从句。而A项because引导原因状语从句；Unless和if’引导条件状语从句。‎ ‎38.A．but B．so C．or D．and ‎38.A。此空格处是一个并列连词，连接前后两句。而前后两句之间存在的是转折关系，所以用but。‎ ‎39.A．difficult B．interesting C．ambiguous D．practical ‎39. A。最初用英英词典，不习惯，所以作者感觉用起来“很难difficult”。interesting是“有趣味的意思”，根据下文not fully understand the meaning不可能是这个答案；ambiguous是“不明确的”；practical是“实用的”，这两个词也不符合语境。‎ ‎40.A．thus B．even C．still D．again ‎40.C。句子中有否定词not，有副词fully，所以用still，表示“仍然不能够完全”的意思。‎ ‎41.A．new B．familiar C．earlier D．ordinary ‎41.B。be used to 表示“习惯……，对作者来说习惯了双语词典，或者说是英汉词典。这里指双语词典的使用对他来说是熟悉。 ‎ ‎42.A．explained B．expressed C．described D．created ‎42.A。此句是一个in which引导的定语从句，其中words是主语，根据常识在词典中单词的意思是被“解释出来”的，所以用explained。‎ ‎43.A．offered B．agreed C．decided D．happened ‎43.C。我真想知道我姑妈为什么决定这么为难我。其他三个词虽然都跟动词不定式，但是在这里意思都不恰当。 ‎ ‎44.A．imagine B．recommend C．predict D．understand ‎44.D。过去不理解，经过一段时间后，“明白了understand”；imagine是“想象”的意思；recommend是“推荐”的意思；predict是“预测”的意思。‎ ‎45.A．natural B．better C．easier D．convenient ‎45.B。此句中monolingual dictionaries和bilingual dictionaries比较，A和D项没用比较级，better强调更好，更实用，而easier则不可能。‎ ‎46 A‎．at best B．in fact C．at times D．in case ‎46.B。常见的情况是实际上两种语言之间的两个词没有完全的对应。in fact表示“实际上，事实上”。at best是“至多；充其量”；at times是“有时”；in case是“万一，以防”，显然A、C、D项不合语境。‎ ‎47.A．words B．names C．ideas D．characters ‎47.A。词典上重点的内容应该是单词。 ‎ ‎48.A．hope B．declare C．doubt D．tell ‎48.B。我姑妈甚至还声称汉语意思决不能给出一个英语单词的确切意思。‎ ‎49.A．exact B．basic C．translated D．expected ‎49.A。前面的a Chinese equivalent和the meaning of a word in English对应，所表明还是对应不准确的问题，所以用exact。 ‎ ‎50.A．Rather B．However C．Therefore D．Instead ‎50. C。此空后面的句子和前面表示的是一种“因果”关系，所以用therefore。‎ ‎51.A．when B．before C．until D．while ‎51. A。表示“当……时候”，用when引导时间状语从句。而before通常指“在……之前”；until 指“直到……时候”；while指“在……的同时”。‎ ‎52.A．Largely B．Generally C．Gradually D．Probably ‎52. C。该句的谓语have come to see是表示“变化过程”，所以用gradually表示“渐渐地”。‎ ‎53.A．extra B．average C．total D．limited ‎53. D。从后面的around 2,000可知词典中用于解释词义的词是限制在2，000左右。‎ ‎54.A．repeatedly B．nearly C．immediately D．anxiously ‎54. A。在有限的范围内，查阅阅读释义的话，就会反复接触基本词汇、学会这些词汇怎样用来解释事物和观点，所以用repeatedly表示“反复地，经常地”， ‎ ‎55.A．According to B．In relation to C．In addition to D．Because of ‎55. D。后面主句部分I can express myself more easily in English.表达的是结果，此处表达的应该是原因，说明使用这种词典所带来的好处。‎ ‎2009年高考题 Passage 1‎ ‎(09·安徽)‎ After spending a weekend away with my adult son, I was so impressed by his generous heart that I sent him this letter. ‎ ‎36. A. humorous B. private C. reasonable D. valuable ‎37. A. followed B. gave C. set D. took ‎38. A. ordered B. booked C. offered D. bought ‎39. A. hesitation B. doubt C. permission D. difficulty ‎40.

But nothing came from my lips, and this was not the 38 time I had let such moments pass.‎ ‎ When Daniel was five, I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten. He asked, “What is it going to be like, Dad? Can I do it?” Then he walked 39 the steps of the bus and disappeared inside. The bus drove away and I said nothing. A decade later, a similar 40 played itself out. I drove him to college. As I started to leave, I tried to think of something to say to give him 41 and confidence as he started this new stage of life. Again, words 42 me.‎ ‎ Now, as I stood before him, I thought of those 43 opportunities. How many times have I let such moments 44 ? I don't find a quiet moment to tell him what they have 45 to me.

Why is it so ‎ ‎50 to tell a son something from the heart?‎ ‎ My mouth turned dry, and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words clearly. “Daniel,” I said, “If I could have picked, I would have picked you.” That's all I could say. He hugged me. For a moment, the world 51 , and there were just Daniel and me. He was saying something, but tears misted my eyes, and I couldn't understand what he was saying. All I was 52 of was the stubble(短须) on his chin as his face pressed 53 mine. What I had said to Daniel was 54 . It was nothing. And yet, it was 55 .‎ ‎36.
