1、2004年We may look at the world around us, but somehow we manage not to see it until whatever weve become used to suddenly disappears. 36 , for example, the neatly-dressed woman I 37 to see - or look at - on my way to work each morning. For three years, no matter 38 the weather was like, she was alway

10、识运用前后照应 只有在有冰雪的(snowy)日子，才穿厚实的衣服，才戴毛纺的手套，而不是在晴(sunny)天，雨(rainy)天，或阴(cloudy)天。后文的summertime有某种暗示。5 B 常识运用词义比较 夏天的日子里，她显露出/穿出(bring out)整洁的束着腰带的棉布女服，帽子戴在头上，低低地遮住太阳镜。take out拿出, 取出；bring out生产，制造，使显露；carry out完成，执行；turn out关闭，出产，结果。6 A 逻辑推理词义比较 很明显(clearly)，可以看出她是一个普通的上班族妇女。clearly明朗地, 明显地；particularly
11、独特地, 显著地；luckily幸运地；especially特别, 尤其。7 C 词义比较逻辑推理 在她消失之后，作者才想起来(remember)了这一切，而不是相信(believe)，表达(express)，纳闷(wonder)这一切。8 D 词义比较逻辑推理 直到那时作者才意识到每天早晨作者非常(much)想看到她。long长时间地；often经常，常常，表示动作出现的频率；soon不久，立刻；much非常，很，表示动作的程度。9 B 逻辑推理词义比较 作者肯定尊敬(respect)她，也赞美(praise)过她，羡慕(admire)过她，但却见不到她，就只有暗暗地思念(miss)她了。
12、10 B 逻辑推理 她是不是出了什么意外？是不是出了更为糟糕(worse)的事情？作者在暗暗思念，为她焦虑，担心她会有什么不测。11 A 词义比较逻辑推理前后照应 作者在为她的消失(disappearance)暗自思忖，也许她有了好运(fortune)，也许她遭了不幸(misfortune)，也许她什么时候有会出现(appearance)。前文untilhwhatever weve become used to suddenly disappears和she was seen no more和后文she was gone已有所暗示。 12 C 逻辑推理词义比较 既然她消失了，作者没有伤害过(h
13、urt)，没有错过(lose)她，也没有忘记过(forget)她，而是熟悉(know)她了。13 D 词义比较固定搭配 作者开始意识到，我们也许幸福的(happy)，也许愉快的(enjoyable)日常(daily)生活就包括着这样的与既熟悉又陌生的人的偶然的相会。frequent(频繁的，时常发生的)通常不与life常这样的词连用，而通常与动作名词连用。14 B 前后照应逻辑推理词义比较修辞运用 他们既非朋友(friends)，也非游客(tourists)，也非客人(guests)。既熟悉又陌生的人(strangers)。此处文章作者运用的是矛盾修辞格手法，既用一个含义相反的形容词来修饰一个

16、熟悉却又无法叫出名字的(unnamed)人，这人也许令人难忘(unforgettable)，也许难以置信(unbelievable)，也许是不真实的(unreal)，来识别我们自己所处的位置。 2005年On May 27, 1995, our life was suddenly changed. It happened a few minutes past three, 36 my husband, Chris, fell from his horse as it 37 over a fence. Chris was paralyzed (瘫痪) from the chest down, 3
17、8 to breathe normally. As he was thrown from his horse, we entered into a life of 39 with lots of unexpected challenges( 挑战). We went from the haves to the “have-nots. Or so we thought. 40 what we discovered later were all the gifts that came out of 41 difficulties. We came to learn that something 4
18、2 could happen in a disaster . All over the world people 43 Chris so much that letters and postcards poured in every day. By the end of the third weekin a 44 center in Virginia, about 35,000 pieces of 45 had been received and sorted. As 46 , we opened letter after letter. They gave us 47 and became
19、a source of strength for us. We used them to 48 ourselves. I would go to the pile of letters marked with Funny if we needed a 49 , or to the Disabled box to find advice from people in wheelchairs or 50 in bed living happily and 51 . These letters, we realized, had to be shared. And so 52 we offer on
20、e of them to you.Dear Chris, My husband and I were so sorry to hear of your 53 accident last week. No doubt your family and your friends are giving you the strength to face this 54 challenge.
