Question

I believe that families are not only blood relatives, but sometimes people who show up and love you when no one else will.

In May 1977, I was living in a Howard Johnson’s motel off Interstate 10 in Houston. My dad and I  21  a room with two double beds and a bathroom which was too  22  for a 15-year-old girl and her father. Dad’s second marriage was   23   and my stepmother had   24   us both out of the house the previous week. Dad had no   25_   what to do with me. And that’s when my other family   26  .

Barbara and Roland Beach took me into their home   27   their only daughter, Su, my best friend, asked them to. I   28   with them for the next seven years.

Barb washed my skirts the same as Su’s. She   29   I had lunch money, doctors’ appointments, help with homework and nightly hugs. Barbara and Roland attended every football game where Su and I were being cheerleaders.  30  I could tell, for the Beaches there was no  31  between Su and me; I was their daughter, too.

When Su and I  32  college they kept my room the same for the entire four years I attended school. Recently, Barb presented me with an insurance policy they bought when I first moved in with them and had continued to pay on for 23 years.

The Beaches knew  33  about me when they took me in – they had heard the whole story from Su. When I was seven, my mother died and from then on my father relied on other people to _34  his kids. Before I went to live with the Beaches I had believed that life was entirely   35__ and that love was shaky and untrustworthy. I had believed that the only person who would take care of me was me.

 36  the Beaches, I would have become a bitter, cynical (憤世嫉俗的) woman. They gave me a(n)  37  that allowed me to grow and change. They kept me from being paralyzed(使癱瘓 ,使麻痹 ,使無(wú)能力)by my _38   , and they gave me the confidence to open my heart.

I   39  family. For me, it wasn’t the family that was there on the day I was   40   , but the one that was there for me when I was living in a Howard Johnson’s on Interstate 10.

【解析】

試題分析:文章大意：作者看來(lái)一個(gè)家庭不僅有血緣，而且表現(xiàn)的是一種愛(ài)，我七歲時(shí)，媽媽不幸去世，爸爸擁有了第二次婚姻，但后來(lái)出現(xiàn)了問(wèn)題，我跟爸爸不得不另找出路，我被我的好朋友SU一家收養(yǎng)，她的父母把我當(dāng)成像SU一樣親生女兒一樣看待，作者很是感激。不然自己會(huì)是另外一個(gè)人。

1.B 考查動(dòng)詞辨析。A 居��；B 分享、共有；C 占有；D 購(gòu)買(mǎi)；句意：我和父親共同分享一間有著兩個(gè)雙人床和一個(gè)浴室的房間。B項(xiàng)為不及物動(dòng)詞，后面帶in才能接a room作賓語(yǔ)；C項(xiàng)和D項(xiàng)不符合上下文內(nèi)容，故B正確。

2.C考查形容詞辨析。A 便宜的；B 喧鬧的；C 小的；D 有限的；根據(jù)上文內(nèi)容，父女兩共有這樣一個(gè)放著兩張雙人床，還圈出一個(gè)浴室的房間，應(yīng)該是狹小的，故C正確。

3.A考查介詞短語(yǔ)辨析。A 處在麻煩中；B 在視野內(nèi)；C 在適當(dāng)?shù)牡胤剑籇 部分。根據(jù)下文內(nèi)容，作者的繼母把我們趕出了家門(mén)，故是爸爸的第二次婚姻出現(xiàn)了問(wèn)題，所以選A正確。

4.C考查上下文串聯(lián)。A打擊； B 除掉； C 踢； D 敲擊 根據(jù)整句話(huà)的意思以及下文的敘述可知“爸爸的婚姻遭到麻煩，繼母把父女兩趕出了家門(mén)，與趕出有意思相近的動(dòng)詞就是kicked了，故C正確。

5.D考查名詞辨析。 A 沒(méi)有計(jì)劃；B 別無(wú)選擇；C 沒(méi)有機(jī)會(huì)；D 不知道；根據(jù)下文“what to do with me”可知爸爸不知道該怎么做；故D正確。

6.B考查動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)辨析。 A 照顧； B 出現(xiàn)；C 翻轉(zhuǎn)；D 偶然遇上，碰上；上文作者說(shuō)她與父親被繼母趕出家門(mén)，下文作者寫(xiě)了到另一個(gè)家庭里生活并得到很到的照顧，由此可知作者的家庭破裂時(shí)，另一個(gè)家庭出現(xiàn)了，故B正確。

7.B考查連詞辨析。A 因此； B 因?yàn)?；C 直到；D 而；根據(jù)“Barbara and Roland Beach took me into their home   27   their only daughter, Su, my best friend, asked them to. ”是Barbara and Roland把我?guī)У剿麄兗抑�；后一句通過(guò)分析句子成分可知：主語(yǔ)“their only daughter”謂語(yǔ)為“asked”，是個(gè)完整句子，所以用because。

8.C考查動(dòng)詞辨析。A 工作； B 旅游；C 生活；D 學(xué)習(xí)；根據(jù)下文with them for the next seven years.可知作者是與他們生活了七年。

9.D考查動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)辨析。A 算出；B 召喚；C 小心；D 確保；作者能夠有飯錢(qián)，醫(yī)生的約定，幫助學(xué)習(xí)是在新的家庭里得到的，作為他們的女兒，父母是要確保孩子的，A,B,C均不符合上下文邏輯，根據(jù)句意分析故D正確。

10.B考查連詞辨析。A只要； B 遠(yuǎn)到，至于；C 一、、、就、、、；D  和、、、一樣多，根據(jù)上下文邏輯B項(xiàng)最佳。

11.D考查名詞辨析。 A 改變，變化； B 問(wèn)題； C 斗爭(zhēng)，沖突； D 不同；根據(jù)句意，對(duì)Beaches來(lái)說(shuō)，我和SU之間沒(méi)有任何區(qū)別，我也是他們的女兒。故D正確。

12.B考查動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)辨析。 A 出發(fā)； B 前往；動(dòng)身去；C 進(jìn)入，參加； D 準(zhǔn)許進(jìn)入；根據(jù)句子意思：當(dāng)我和Su進(jìn)入大學(xué)了，他們把我的房間留下來(lái)，可見(jiàn)是動(dòng)身去讀大學(xué)，故B正確。

13.A考查不定代詞辨析。A 全部；B 很少，幾乎不； C 一些； D 什么都沒(méi)有/不，由下文“they had heard the whole story from Su.”可知，The Beaches已經(jīng)知道我的故事了而且是整個(gè)故事；故選A項(xiàng)。

14.D考查動(dòng)詞辨析。A 提供； B 教育，教； C 鼓勵(lì)；D 撫養(yǎng)；根據(jù)上文“When I was seven, my mother died and from then on my father relied on other people”可知父親要靠別人撫養(yǎng)他的孩子。即可選D。

15.B考查形容詞辨析。A 不同的；B 不公平的； C 容易的；D 有希望的；根據(jù)作者與Beaches生活之前，她遭遇了家庭破裂的事，這對(duì)于一個(gè)孩子的影響是很大的，使作者產(chǎn)生對(duì)生活的消極態(tài)度是可以理解，也是符合常理的，而且下文作者說(shuō)：愛(ài)是搖擺不定的，不可信的；可知選B項(xiàng)。

16.D考查連詞辨析。A 幸虧，由于； B 不管； C 除了   D 要不是；這里作者要表達(dá)：要不是Beaches,我就會(huì)成為一個(gè)痛苦的，憤世嫉俗的女人。句中“would havebecome”是關(guān)鍵，它決定了前面的空是but for而不是“thanks to”；若選“thanks to”應(yīng)為：幸虧了他們一家，我才沒(méi)有變成一個(gè)……；很明顯，thanks to是最具干擾性。

17.A考查上下文串聯(lián)。A 家； B 房子；C 能力；D 課程；根據(jù)全文意思:作者與他們共同生活，他們也把作者當(dāng)做女兒來(lái)看待，所以他們給予“我”的應(yīng)是一個(gè)家庭。

18.C考查名詞辨析。 A 選擇； B 失敗； C 過(guò)去； D 禮物；句意：他們讓我免于被我的過(guò)去使我麻痹頹廢。所以選C項(xiàng)。

19.D考查動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)辨析。 A 懷疑   B 號(hào)召； C 著重在，集中于； D 相信；根據(jù)文章后一部分，作者因?yàn)锽eaches一家而從原來(lái)的消極對(duì)待生活變成積極面對(duì)，她也由此相信愛(ài)，相信有家。故D正確。

20.A考查形容詞辨析。 A 出生； B 接受； C 受教育；D 被荒廢的；對(duì)于我來(lái)說(shuō)，它不是那天我出生的家，而是……。根據(jù)文章，“我”是住在Beaches家的，不是在那里出生的。
