1.【答案】C
【解析】根据文章开头“Dad had a green comb”.和第二段“…and brush the comb carefully”以及后面的文字信息“I would happily return the comb to Dad.”可知父亲把“梳子”递给她,说“乖女儿,帮爸爸洗一下梳子,好吗?”
2.【答案】D
【解析】根据后文中的“I would excitedly…,Satisfied that …, I would happily return the comb to Dad.”等信息词可推理出作者很“乐意”为爸爸洗梳子。annoyed意为“恼怒的;烦恼的”;relieved意为“放心的;轻松的”;ashamed意为“惭愧的”;pleased意为“高兴的;乐意的”。故选D项。
3.【答案】A
【解析】根据常识可知,五岁儿童以能为父亲做点事情而感到骄傲自豪,因此可推知给父亲洗梳子能给她带来很大的乐趣。joy意为“欢乐;快乐,乐趣”;sadness意为“悲伤”;courage意为“勇气;胆量”;pain意为“疼痛”。故选A项。
4.【答案】D
【解析】根据后文“…and brush the comb carefully”可知作者兴奋地“打开”水龙头。turn out意为“结果是;证明是”;turn over意为“翻过来”;turn in意为“上缴”;turn on意为“打开(开关、水龙头、阀门等)”。 故选D项。
5.【答案】B
【解析】句意为:爸爸常常亲切地对我微笑,把梳子放进他的钱包里。根据affectionately(亲切地)可知应选B项。最后一段“He smiled at me and…”也有暗示。stare at意为“凝视,注视”;shout at意为“对……喊叫,叫骂”,含有责备之意;laugh at意为“嘲笑”。
6.【答案】B
【解析】句意为:两年后父亲创办了自己的企业,经营不太好。根据下一段“After my graduation, Dad's business was getting back on track.”可知,此处应选B项。
7.【答案】B
【解析】句意为:这个时候情况发生了变化。progress意为“进步;发展”;change意为“变化;改变”;improve意为“改善;提高”;form意为“构成;组成;产生”。根据下文“父亲不再像从前那样每天早早地回家”可知应选B项。
8.【答案】C
【解析】句意为:我和妈妈都生气,他使家庭陷入困境。satisfied意为“感到满意的”;delighted意为“高兴的;欣喜的”;mad意为“发疯的;生气的”;strict意为“严格的”。根据语境可知选C项。
9.【答案】A
【解析】句意为:随着时间的推移,我们之间渐渐产生不愉快的沉默。作者从五岁起给父亲洗梳子,七岁时父亲忙于创办企业每天晚上很晚回家,直到作者二十八岁生日才理解了父亲的忙碌,可见时间跨度之大。with time意为“随着时间的推移”,“随着岁月的流逝”,符合语境和句意。patience意为“耐心;忍耐”;speed意为“速度”;ease意为“轻松;舒适”。
10.【答案】B
【解析】句意为:在我二十八岁生日这天父亲早早地回了家。作者小时候父亲每天晚上都是早早地回家,后来自己创办了企业,由于忙于事业,父亲不再像从前那样早早地回家,可知作者28岁生日这天父亲又早早地回家了。occasionally意为“偶尔;有时”;early意为“很早”;frequently意为“频繁地;经常地”;rarely意为“很少地;罕有地”。
11.【答案】C
【解析】句意为:当我转身离开的时候,他说“嗨,你能帮我洗梳子吗?”。由下文“I passed the clean comb back to Dad.”可知父亲请女儿给他洗梳子,clean意为“弄干净”,故选C项。sharpen意为“削尖;磨快”;repair意为“修理”;keep意为“保持”。
12.【答案】B
【解析】句意为:我看了父亲一会儿,然后拿起梳子向水池走去。根据最后一段“I passed the clean comb back to Dad.He smiled at me…”可知我“拿起”父亲的梳子去洗了。
13.【答案】C
【解析】句意为:帮助父亲洗梳子是那么快乐的一件事。由文章内容可知作者从五岁时
就帮助父亲洗梳子,故选C项。
14.【答案】D
【解析】句意:帮助父亲洗梳子意味着父亲每天早早地回家与我和母亲一起度过每个夜晚。下文“a happy and loving family”亦有暗示。
15.【答案】C
【解析】句意为:这意味着一个幸福恩爱的家庭。全家人一起其乐融融意味着家庭幸福和谐,故选C项。affect意为“影响;感染”;break意为“打破;中断;弄坏”;meant意为“意味着”; support意为“支持;支撑;供养”。
16.【答案】D
【解析】句意为:他对我微笑着,小心地把梳子放进钱包里。firmly意为“坚定地;坚决地”;hurriedly意为“匆忙地”;casually意为“随便地”;carefully意为“小心地”。下文说父亲上了年纪,笑的时候眼角起皱纹,结合当时的情景可推知应选D项。
17.【答案】A
【解析】句意为:可是这一次,我注意到了一些不同的情况。different意为“不同的”;exciting意为“令人兴奋的”;interesting意为“有趣的”;urgent意为“紧急的”。这一次帮父亲洗梳子已经是二十多年后的事情,父亲老了,笑的时候眼角泛起皱纹,把梳子放进钱包的动作也是小心翼翼,这些变化都是与二十年前不同的。
18.【答案】D
【解析】句意为:虽然他笑的时候眼角有皱纹,可是他的微笑仍然和从前一样温暖人心。此时女儿已经理解父亲这么多年为家庭的付出,在女儿看来,虽然父亲眼角长出皱纹可是亦然可敬可爱,两个分句之间是转折关系,故选D项。
19.【答案】B
【解析】句意为:可是他的微笑仍然和从前一样温暖人心。一位想给家人幸福生活的父亲的微笑自然是“温暖人心的”。由语境再结合常识可知女儿感觉父亲带着皱纹的微笑使她感到温暖。convincing意为“令人信服的;有说服力的”;heartwarming意为“暖人心房的”;cautious意为“谨慎的;小心的”;innocent意为“无辜的;无罪的”。故选B项。
