26、亲是一位在田地里工作的农夫。故选 C 项。 2D 考查形容词辨析。Astormy 暴风雨般的; Blively 生动的;Cdisappearing 消失的,不见的; Dburning 烧灼的,灼烫的。 根据前文发生了大旱灾,那么用 burning 来修饰 desert 最合适不过了。故选 D 项。 3A 考查名词辨析。Aorder 订单;Bform 表格;Cgap 间隔,分隔;Dposition 位置 。因为作者父亲本身是一位农民,要给蔬菜店送蔬菜,所以这里表达的意思是我们送 的最后一单。故选 A 项。 4B 考查副词辨析。Arepeatedly 反复地,再三地;Bnormally 通常地;
27、Cfinally 最终地;Dreally 确实地。此题需要结合后面一句话去做,后一句的意思是“然而这一次, 这个过程进展不快”, 说明前面的二十分钟是“通常情况”下所需要的时间, 因此应该用副 词 normally。故选 B 项。 5A 考查动词辨析。根据上文“however, the process didnt”说明这次出现情况, 所以整个过程进展得不太顺利。故选 A 项。 6B 考查副词辨析。 “我们”在田野里漫无目的地走了四十分钟后,还差 20 打的 货物。故选 B 项。 7C 考查形容词辨析。根据“I was completely frustrated”可以推断出由于作者在 室外干活干

29、appreciate 感激; C examine 检查; D question 质问。 作者此时也开始感激爸爸的人生观指导着自己的人生路。故选 B 项。 12A 考查名词辨析。句意:爸爸真的是一个活生生的“真爱”的榜样。这句话是本 段落的主题句,从下文可以看出父亲对于家庭无私的奉献以及对子女无私的爱,所以选择 love 是最合适的。故选 A 项。 13A 考查短语辨析。Ain spite of 尽管;Bin terms of对来说;Cin control of 控制; Din place of 代替。尽管父亲做了一天的工作后已经很疲劳,但是他从来未停 止对我在体育比赛上的鼓励。故选 A 项。

31、先行词,从句中 的谓语动词 learned 缺少宾语,空处就是它的宾语,这样就是 learnfrom you,从四个选项 中找一个词填到这个省略号中作宾语,lessons 是最合适的,意思是“我从你那里学习到的 生活上的一些经验教训”。故选 D 项。 语法填空 In 1863 the first underground passenger railway in the world opened in London.
