【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是作为母亲的“我”在为孩子准备午餐时,总要在饭盒里放一张表达感谢、提醒或鼓励的小便条的事。短文告诉我们,浓浓的母子情也许会被孩子暂时忽略,但随着时间的推移,这份亲情会越来越浓。
1.A.carried B.found
C.included D.held
解析:从每个孩子开始上学的那一刻起,“我”就为孩子们准备盒式午餐,并在午餐盒里放一张小纸条。carry“携带”;find“发现”;include“包括,包含”;hold“拿着”。所以答案是C。
答案:C
2.A.difficult B.special
C.comfortable D.separate
解析:由空前的thank you及后面的“a reminder of something we were happily expecting”(一个我们高兴地期待的事情的提醒)可知,应该是一个特殊的时刻a special moment。
答案:B
3.A.congratulation B.improvement
C.explanation D.encouragement
解析:纸条的内容包含了“the coming test or sporting event”即将到来的考试或体育赛事,所以内容应是鼓舞性的话语。所以答案是D。
答案:D
4.A.loved B.answered
C.wrote D.examined
解析:从后面的“But as children grow older they become selfconscious”可以知道当孩子们长大时,他们自我意识就强了,不再喜欢这种方式了。可以推出以前他们是很喜欢这种方式的,所以本题应该是loved。
29
答案:A
5.A.lately B.by the way
C.by the time D.gradually
解析:lately“近来”;by the way“顺便一提”;by the time“到某个时间为止”,后面一般跟从句;gradually“逐渐地”。由语境可知答案应为C。
答案:C
6.A.received B.understood
C.enjoyed D.collected

答案:C
7.A.held up B.gave up
C.followed D.continued

答案:D
9.A.hopefully B.finally
C.particularly D.certainly
解析:实习结束后,他找到了一份工作。承接上文,表示“最终”,所以用finally。
答案:B
10.A.especially B.immediately
C.equally D.generally
解析:especially“特别地”;immediately“立即,马上”;equally“公平地”;generally“一般地”。句意:当“我”听到儿子要回来时,非常高兴。用副词especially来表达高兴的程度。
答案:A
11.A.packed B.fetched
C.bought D.filled
29
解析:文章第一句有提示,用pack。
答案:A
12.A.fear B.surprise
C.anger D.disappointment
解析:fear“恐怖,害怕”;surprise“惊奇,诧异”;anger“怒,愤怒”;disappointment“失望”。接到儿子的电话时,不可能是fear,anger,disappointment。所以本题的答案是surprise。
答案:B
13.A.waiting for B.worrying about
C.caring for D.asking about
解析:wait for“等候”;worry about“担心”;care for“关心”;ask about“询问(某事)”。从下文提出的疑问可知选D。

答案:B
3.A.scolded B.wondered
29
C.realized D.learned
解析:由语境可知作者在此表示自己的迷惑和不解,即“我经常想知道他过着一种怎样的家庭生活”,用wonder表示“对……感到疑惑,想知道”。scold“指责,批评”;realize“意识到”;learn“学会,了解”,故答案为B。
答案:B
4.A.modestly B.naturally

答案:D
13.A.delight B.expectation
C.appreciation D.surprise
解析:考查名词和语境。看到盒子里什么都没有,“我”当然应该是“惊讶”了,故D项surprise合适。to one's surprise表示“令人惊讶的是”。delight“快乐,高兴”;expectation“预料,期望”;appreciation“欣赏,赞赏”。
答案:D
14.A.cheap B.empty
C.useless D.improper
解析:句意:“我”说“盒子很好,但它是空的”,这也与上文的“saw nothing”相照应,故答案为B,empty“空的”。cheap“便宜的”;useless“无用的”;improper“不适当的”。文章最后一句也有提示。
答案:B
15.A.advice B.support
29

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。在美国,随着社会经济和文化的发展,孩子们在家庭中的地位也在变化。殖民时期,人们在家庭中的地位与经济挂钩,儿童在家庭中处在附属地位。随着社会的不断发展和进步,人们思想观念随之转变,孩子们在家庭和社会中的角色变得越来越重要,这使得他们逐渐摆脱了受支配的地位,受到了各方面的尊重和爱护。
1.A.poor B.ordinary
C.happy D.wealthy
