A few months later, I saw a For Sale sign in   16   yard. I feared the   17   might be in trouble, so I made up a(n)   18   to go to their door and   19   on them.

Christy opened the door, smiled broadly, and pointed to her huge stomach “We’re having twins!” she said, “This house won’t be big enough, so we have to   20  .”

【解析】

試題分析:文章講述了“我”做為一名郵遞員一時(shí)的疏忽把信給送錯(cuò)了,收到信的這個(gè)女士把信送到了它真正的主人的手里,碰巧的是兩個(gè)人都是單身,從此他們都對(duì)對(duì)方有了感情。正是我的大意成就了兩個(gè)人的結(jié)合,成就了一樁幸福的婚姻。

1.B考查名詞的詞義。句意為:七年前的一天,我開車去一個(gè)郵箱。telephone 電話; mailbox 郵箱,郵筒;school 學(xué)校;shop 商店。由前文我是一個(gè)郵遞員可知這里是去信箱。

2.A考查名詞詞義。句意為:一個(gè)離了婚的年輕女士站在路邊正在等我,她說要給我講個(gè)故事。Story故事;notice通知,通告; fact真相,事實(shí); message消息,信息。從下文來看,應(yīng)是一個(gè)故事。

3.B考查副詞詞義。句意為:大約在六個(gè)月前。after adv 在---之后;earlier adv 更早,早在---之前;later adv 后來;ago adv在---之前。 One day several years ago是七年前的事情,由此可知,這個(gè)女士告訴我的應(yīng)該是在此之前的六個(gè)月,所以應(yīng)為更早之前。故答案應(yīng)為B

4.C考查動(dòng)詞詞義。句意為:我郵遞給她了一封信,上面有她的街道號(hào)。sent 送,派遣;written 寫; delivered 郵遞;given 給。因?yàn)槲沂且痪溧]遞員,所以這里應(yīng)為郵遞的意思,答案應(yīng)為C。

5.D考查名詞詞義。 句意為:上面有她的街道號(hào)。這里下文的第六個(gè)空number是一個(gè)提示。mark 標(biāo)志,符號(hào); sign跡象,記號(hào);board 木板,甲板; number 數(shù),號(hào)碼。

6.C考查形容詞詞義。句意為:街道號(hào)相同而街道的名字不同,所以有相同的街道號(hào),正是這一點(diǎn),作者把信給送錯(cuò)了。correct adj 正確的;  wrong adj 錯(cuò)誤的; same adj 相同的;different adj 不同的。

7.B考查動(dòng)詞短語的含義。句意:她決定把這封信給正確的主人送過去。put down     鎮(zhèn)壓,記下;drop off      放下,放棄;hand out         分發(fā),施舍;give away 泄露。這里是把這封信送去。

8.D考查動(dòng)詞短語的意思。句意為:這封信正是給Johnson的。provided 提供,供給;prepared為---做準(zhǔn)備;inferred 推測出的;intended打算為---所用,預(yù)定給---。所以答案應(yīng)為D。

9.B考查短語的含義。句意為:這個(gè)人正好也是單身。free adj 自由的;single adj 單一的,單身的;lonely adj 寂寞的;simple adj 簡單的。所以應(yīng)為B。

10.C考查動(dòng)詞詞義。句意為:后來,他就打電話給她,然后他們就開始約會(huì)。left     離開; invited邀請;called 打電話;         introduced 介紹。由后面的約會(huì)可知先是打電話溝通,而不是邀請。

11.A考查動(dòng)詞短語的含義。句意從那時(shí)起,他們開始一起外出。go out 外出;go in參加,放得進(jìn); go away走開;go off 離開,動(dòng)身。

12.B考查形容詞的詞義。句意為:我為我的送錯(cuò)信而抱歉,但我高興的是我把這兩個(gè)人聚在了一起。amazed adj 令人吃驚的; pleased adj 令人高興的; surprised adj 令人吃驚的 interested adj 使人感興趣的。

13.D考查短語的含義。句意為:幾個(gè)月之后, 一個(gè)“出售”的牌子在Christy的院子里掛了起來。

On sale 廉價(jià)出售,這里文中沒有反映出是廉價(jià)出售;for sale 出售,待售。

14.C考查名詞詞義。句意為:發(fā)出了婚禮的請柬。arrangements 安排,布置;preparation 準(zhǔn)備;invitations 邀請,請柬;announcements通知,通告。這里sent out發(fā)出去的應(yīng)該是請柬。

15.B考查連詞詞義。句意為:婚禮舉行了,順其自然的是Christy和她的孩子們搬到了Johnson的家里,這是指順承關(guān)系。

16.D考查代詞的詞義。句意為:幾個(gè)月之后,我在他們的院子里又看到了一個(gè)待售的牌子。因?yàn)樗麄儼岬搅艘黄。所以?yīng)為他們。

17.C考查名詞詞義。句意為:我害怕,他們的婚姻出現(xiàn)了危機(jī)。friendship n 友誼;connection n聯(lián)系,關(guān)系;marriage n 婚姻;wedding 婚禮。他們已經(jīng)結(jié)過婚了,由此應(yīng)知為婚姻。答案為C。

18.C考查名詞詞義。句意為:我就找了借口去看一下他們出了什么問題。apology      n 道歉;

trouble n 麻煩;excuse n 借口,托辭;        regret n 遺憾,后悔。

19.A考查動(dòng)詞詞義。check      vt 查,核查;examine vt 檢測,調(diào)查;test vt        測試; try vt 嘗試,努力;這里是指,我找個(gè)借口要去看看到底是不是婚姻出現(xiàn)了問題。所以check比較合適。

20.D考查動(dòng)詞詞義。句意:我們有了一對(duì)雙胞胎,房子太小了,不得不搬家。change vt 改變,改換;settle vt定居;separate vt 分開;move vt 轉(zhuǎn)移,搬家。

考點(diǎn): 考查故事類文章的理解及詞匯的辨析。
